Chapter 94: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain

"Military advisor, what do you think, how should we quell Han Sui's rebellion?" Qin Mo asked Jia Xu.
Jia Xu hesitated. His previous plan to persuade people to surrender was rejected. He was not sure what to say. He took a deep breath and said, "I insist on my previous plan to persuade people to surrender."
"How to persuade them to surrender?" Unexpectedly, Qin Mo did not object again.
Actually, it’s normal.
Ma Teng was subdued and Dong Min was destroyed. The strength that should be demonstrated has been demonstrated, and the combat effectiveness that should be tested has also withstood the test. Naturally, the methods and approaches can be more flexible.
"Since you have subdued Ma Teng, Han Sui can no longer hold on alone. As long as the court shows enough sincerity, it should not be a problem to persuade him to surrender," Jia Xu analyzed.
"How much sincerity does that require?" It is not so easy to persuade Han Sui to give up his 100,000 troops.
"Provincial governor."
"Governor of Liangzhou? That's different." Qin Mo was speechless. If Han Sui really came to power, Liangzhou would truly become Han Sui's Liangzhou, not the court's Liangzhou.
"It's not Liangzhou, it's Yanzhou." Jia Xu's suggestion was not aimless, it was based on comprehensive considerations.
"Yanzhou?" Qin Mo's eyes narrowed. "Do you want to touch Qiao Mao?"
"Last time, Cao Zuocheng and his entourage were assassinated in Dongjun, with heavy casualties. Your Excellency has ordered Yanzhou Governor Qiao Mao to investigate, but there has been no result so far. This is a good reason to move Qiao Mao." After a pause, Jia Xu said, "I suggest that Qiao Mao be transferred to be the Governor of Liangzhou, and Han Sui be allowed to take the post of Yanzhou Governor."
“…”
Qin Mo has a new understanding of Jia Xu's cunning nature.
This operation is so cool...
If Qin Mo remembered correctly, it was Jia Xu who designed to kill the people around Cao Cao. Not only did he let Qiao Mao take the blame, but he also kicked him in the ass.
This is going to put Qiao Mao in a difficult position.
But... Qin Mo likes it!
"Military advisor, are you trying to take this opportunity to test the noble families in Guandong?" Jia Xu would never simply let Qiao Mao take the blame. Otherwise, he could just be demoted to the governor of Dongjun and there would be no need to transfer him to Liangzhou.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, “Although our previous actions suppressed the arrogance of the Guandong princes and broke up their alliance with foreigners, it only made them dare not act rashly. In fact, they still have their own troops.
"The purpose of transferring Qiao Mao to Liangzhou is, first, to promote the flow of officials between Guandong and Guanxi, and second, to take the opportunity to remove Qiao Mao's military power and consolidate the separation of military and political power set by the adults from an institutional perspective."
Qin Mo nodded.
If one wants to test the princes of Kanto, Qiao Mao is undoubtedly a soft persimmon.
Historically, when the eighteen princes fought against Dong Zhuo, Qiao Mao had been demoted from the post of Governor of Yanzhou to the post of Prefect of Dongjun. As soon as the war against Dong was over, he was killed on the pretext of Liu Dai, who succeeded him as Governor of Yanzhou.
Almost no presence.
"What about Han Sui? Does Han Sui have the courage to take over the post of Governor of Yanzhou?" Qin Mo still had doubts. Han Sui's base was in Liangzhou. Once he entered the pass, he would be in a dilemma of life and death.
It seems like a promotion, but in fact it is just a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Jia Xu made a good move, achieving two goals with just one maneuver.
"I am willing to give it a try," said Jia Xu.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Military Advisor, to make the trip." Seeing Jia Xu so confident, Qin Mo felt a little excited.
As soon as Jia Xu left, Li Bingyun walked in again.
"Has the Black Wind Mercenary Group been dealt with?" Qin Mo asked.
"nailed it!"
Li Bingyun sat down and reported: "The Black Wind Mercenary Group, from its leader Li Xiao to all the members involved, have all been killed, including their businesses in Liangzhou, which have all been uprooted."
"Well done." Qin Mo's expression was indifferent, not at all surprised.
In order to make an example of them and deal with those players who did not listen to advice, Qin Mo directly dispatched the Youyun Iron Cavalry to assist the Six Gates led by Li Bingyun in encircling and suppressing the Black Wind Mercenary Group.
And Ma Teng cooperates with him.
Li Xiao and others couldn't escape even if they had wings, so their destruction was normal.
"I'm just afraid that there will still be people who won't accept it." Li Bingyun has a thorough understanding of the players' personalities. They are all unruly. The more they are suppressed, the stronger the rebound will be in the future.
"If it doesn't work once, then try twice, three times." Qin Mo was patient.
...Li Bingyun was speechless.
Players can only hope for the best. Who asked them to meet such a boss?
"By the way, those businesses that cooperate with the studio are asking me if they can develop in Guanzhong?" Li Bingyun remembered something.
"Of course." Qin Mo nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, the two states of Yong and Liang will be completely pacified before the end of the year. We encourage merchants to invest and do business in Guanzhong. The same goes for other players."
In terms of geographical location, the two states of Yong and Liang are no worse than Liaodong, and are also surrounded by many ethnic minorities.
There is much to be done.
“Then Guanzhong is going to become lively.” Li Bingyun smiled.
Two days later, Zhong Yao arrived in Chang'an and officially took office as the governor of Yongzhou.
On that day, Qin Mo and Zhong Yao had a long talk all night long.
Strictly speaking, the Yingchuan Zhong family, from which Zhong Yao came, was also a famous aristocratic family in Guandong . Zhong Yao's grandfather Zhong Hao was even known as one of the "Four Elders of Yingchuan" and was admired by the literati at that time.
Zhong Yao's entry into Yongzhou was itself an exchange between Guanxi and Guandong.
If Qin Mo had not been well-organized in his previous administration and was highly respected, and if he had not been guaranteed by ministers such as Lu Zhi, Zhong Yao might not have been able to obtain his family's consent and take over the post of Governor of Yongzhou.
This shows how huge and outrageous the influence of the aristocratic family is!
Men of integrity and openness like Zhong Hao may not have much actual ability to govern the country, but they rely on their good family background and reputation for noble character to criticize the government at will.
Little do they know that their existence is one of the root causes that hinder social development.
It's a cancer!
Qin Mo hated this deeply and had already made up his mind that if Zhong Yao did not obey the imperial edict this time, he would not mind massacring the Zhong family of Yingchuan without leaving a single blade behind.
At worst, all the Eastern Han noble families would be killed.
Anyway, as long as there are players, there will never be a situation where there is no scholar available, which is a perfect opportunity to recreate the Three Kingdoms.
Fortunately, the Zhong family was sensible.
In addition to discussing the future development of Yongzhou, Qin Mo also deliberately mentioned Zhong Yao during his long talk with Zhong Yao, hoping to convey his warning to the Guandong families through Zhong Yao's mouth.
Let the Kanto family behave themselves.
If others do this, they may bring about their own destruction.
How deeply rooted is the trouble with aristocratic families.
Not to mention the distant past, let’s just talk about Cao Cao in history. He spent his whole life to build up his empire, but in the blink of an eye, it was snatched away by the Sima family, a prominent family.
How unfair.
Not only in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but also in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and even in the later Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui wanted to weaken the Guandong families through the war against Goguryeo.
The result was the demise of the Sui Dynasty in the second generation.
It was not until the middle of the Tang Dynasty that the threat of aristocratic families was slightly alleviated.
But who is Qin Mo?
With just one sword, you can wipe out all the villains in the world.
No noble family has the confidence to go against an "immortal", not to mention that this "immortal" is quite capable and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command.
That is also a dead end.
In Qin Mo's eyes, there was no one in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent who could not be killed, just like he had killed Liu, Guan, and Zhang, assassinated Emperor Ling of Han, eliminated Xiahou Dun and others, and killed Dong Zhuo...
Qin Mo does not advocate killing to stop killing, but he likes to achieve the greatest ambition with the least casualties. His previous ambition was not to protect someone's life or death, but to protect the continuation of the Han Dynasty.
Monks are supposed to go against the will of heaven, so why should they have so many concerns when doing things?
The life and death of mortals all depends on a single thought.
Qin Mo suddenly acted so "radical" because he had a premonition that his time in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent was running out and he really didn't have the energy to play the cat-and-mouse game with the aristocratic families.
We must cut the Gordian knot.
Otherwise, Qin Mo wouldn't mind using this opportunity to hone his Tao heart.
Outsiders have no idea what the two talked about.
All we know is that the next day Zhong Yao officially took office to manage government affairs, and he seemed very motivated.
I don't know what kind of drug he was given.
People like Yuan Shao, who were far away in Guandong, had originally wanted to see whether Zhong Yao would become passive and lazy in his work under the pressure of his family, but now they were completely disappointed.
A week later, Jia Xu returned to Chang'an.
