Chapter 570

According to the Romance, He Jin simply relied on the beauty of his younger sister, Lady He, to be heavily employed by Liu Hong.

This aspect of the factor might exist, but it is definitely not the most important factor.

He Jin's butcher status destined him to have no culture and not belong to the class of aristocratic clans.

After he entered the imperial court, all the power in his hands came from Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong.

In other words.

Besides heavily employing the Ten Eunuchs and buying and selling official titles.

Liu Hong also intended to promote He Jin to form a check and balance on the aristocratic clan group.

The imagination was indeed very beautiful.

The three sharp knives in the hands of Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong.

If they could really be used well, they could indeed form no small restraint on the aristocratic clan group.

But what was the result?

This guy He Jin was too stupid and was won over by the aristocratic clans!

Yuan Kui transformed and retreated behind the scenes, taking the high-level members of the aristocratic clan group to welcome He Jin as the boss.

This is fun now.

Originally, it was He Jin and the Ten Eunuchs joining forces to fight against the aristocratic clan group.

It suddenly became a confrontation between He Jin and the Ten Eunuchs.

What were the aristocratic clans doing?

Taking the opportunity to fan the flames and further strengthen their own strength.

If Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, could live for forty or fifty years like the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming dynasty, I fear the aristocratic clan group would still be under new suppression.

But Liu Hong only had a total of ten-plus years on the throne.

After he passed away, the fighting between He Jin and the Ten Eunuchs reached an unprecedented white-hot stage.

Everything that followed should have all gone according to the script of the aristocratic clan group.

Unfortunately, things went contrary to wishes.

A new variable appeared.

His name is Dong Zhuo!

Returning to Xun Yi.

The reason Liu Hong personally appointed Xun Yi as the Administrator of Yingchuan was also a test for the Yuan family, wasn't it?

As everyone knows.

Within the aristocratic clan group, there are often major differences and internal fighting.

Although the Yuan family is the head of all aristocratic clans in the world.

But the Xun family is also a top-tier great aristocratic clan.

The point is, this bug-like character Xun Yi perfectly exploited the loophole of the "Three Mutual Laws."

Serving as the Administrator of Yingchuan, it was reasonable, legal, and in accordance with regulations.

In other words.

Even if Xun Yi further upgraded to Governor of Yuzhou, it was also reasonable, legal, and in accordance with regulations.

But how did this make the Yuan family view this matter?

If Xun Yi really became the Governor of Yuzhou, the Yuan family would become very uncomfortable.

And normal methods had completely no way to stop Xun Yi from going further and becoming the Governor of Yuzhou.

Only through some black means could this "future Governor of Yuzhou," Xun Yi, be completely strangled in the cradle.

This black means was naturally Dong Zhuo.

Or rather, the rebellion that erupted in Yingchuan Commandery was very likely a self-directed and self-acted play by the Yuan family from beginning to end.

With the energy of the Yuan family, staging such a rebellion was not impossible.

Xun Yi was, after all, a thorn in Yuan Kui's side.

As Xun Yi's son, Xun You was never a stupid person.

Or rather, his wisdom was even above his father's.

But Xun You's wisdom was more concentrated in the aspect of military strategy.

The position of the Xun family patriarch inherited the lineage of Xun Yu, not the lineage of Xun Yi and Xun You.

On the issue of internal fighting between aristocratic clans, Xun You could not compare to Xun Yu, and even less to the old fox Yuan Kui.

Simply looking at the late Han and Three Kingdoms period, one might think Yuan Kui was just a small shrimp mentioned in a few sentences.

But if one takes out the inducements of the chaotic late Han era to look at.

Yuan Kui was the undisputed mastermind behind the scenes!

After Gu Yi's guidance.

Xun You fell into deep helplessness and confusion.

All along, he had regarded Dong Zhuo as his father-killing enemy.

Little did he know, several years ago, Yuan Kui, who stood behind Dong Zhuo, was the truly real mastermind behind the scenes.

Seeing that Xun You's state was not good, Gu Yi very thoughtfully sent Xu Sheng to take Xun You down to rest.

With Xun You's talent, Gu Yi was not very willing to kill him.

Furthermore, this smart person Xun You was only temporarily falling into a brief confusion.

Presumably, after he completely figured out the cause and effect, he would completely darken and become a "sharp knife" in Gu Yi's hand to slaughter the aristocratic clans!

And after Xun You was taken down.

Guo Jia was immediately brought in.

For this "prodigal son," Gu Yi's attitude was full of playfulness.

In later generations, the evaluation of Guo Jia can be said to be the most polarized.

Some people think Guo Jia has the talent to cover the sky and the earth, and even made up remarks like "if Guo Fengxiao does not die, Langya Zhuge Wolong will not come out."

Other people think Guo Jia is just a charlatan, and the main point is deception.

For example, Guo Jia's "legacy plan to settle Liaodong" was described by that part of people as "legacy plan to pit Cao Aman."

How to say it, these two views both have a certain truth.

After all, the first view is because of the pot of the Romance author "Luo."

Under his description, Guo Jia's life was full of regrets and pity, and he can be called one of the top strategists of the era.

As for the second view, to a certain extent, it also has a certain correctness.

Cao Cao's expedition to Liaodong, the loss of supplies was heavy, and encountering the elite troops led by Tadun at White Wolf Mountain, the situation was indeed quite dangerous.

But... such a big event as the expedition to Liaodong, do you think it was really decided by Guo Jia alone?

If there were no unanimous agreement from Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and others, Cao Cao, who was cautious by nature, could not have taken this risk.

Therefore.

Looking at Guo Jia, there is no need to over-praise or pull down; just look at it rationally.

Moreover, Guo Jia's positioning in the Cao camp.

Perhaps it was not the same as the "strategist positioning" people imagined.
