On the morning of February 11th, Xun Zhen, Yu Min, Wang Xuan and others returned to Luoyang.
When they passed Jianchun Gate, they saw a large group of soldiers heading south, led by Wu Qian, the shepherd of Chenhou Mansion.
Lao Wu and his eldest son Wu Yong came forward to see the ceremony.
Yu Min returned the favor, chatted with him for a few words, and then left.
Wu Qian didn't take it seriously.
How can these nobles look at people like them who have no family background? The monarch is taking the right path. He must establish a martial arts group and establish it in Luonan, Xiangcheng and other places. Only in this way can he win the favor of the nobles and even marry women.
He looked at his son, but it was a pity that he was already married. But it doesn't matter, he still has a grandson, and he will definitely marry the generals and officers of the Silver Spear Army and the Yamen Army in the future. We can stick together and help each other without looking at the faces of you scholars.
On this side, Wu Qian and others took the newly recruited soldiers and went south, while on the other side, several people also separated.
Before leaving, Wang Xuan turned his head and took one more look at the new soldiers, but he didn't want to think that someone on the opposite side was also looking at him.
That was the palace of King Nanyang in Beijing, located near the former residence of the two masters of Wu and Shu.
Liang Chen and Wei Fu stood outside the door, quietly watching the new recruits of the Silver Spear Army leaving in the distance.
After a while, a carriage drove out of the house and headed to Jianchun Gate.
Wang Xuan followed him in a car, and finally discovered that their destination was the same, the Palace of the East China Sea.
Princess Liu and Prince Fan Yang's heir Sima Li got off the car one after another and entered the palace surrounded by several servants.
After Wang Xuan greeted the sect leader Shi, he also entered the palace.
What a coincidence, as soon as I entered, I saw my father Wang Yan coming out.
"Meizi is back." Wang Yan was worried and asked casually.
"I came back with Shizhong Yu and the Marquis of Jibei. I seem to have something on my mind?" Wang Xuan looked away from Mr. Liu and Sima Li and asked.
"Let's talk over there." Wang Yan sighed, pointed to a pavilion not far away, and said.
The father and son then walked over.
"Chu Zhong died in Jianye and will not come back." Wang Yan said with a bitter look on his face.
"What?" Wang Xuan was a little surprised.
"Situ Zheng mobilized Jianwei General Qian Pu (kuài) and Chu Zhong to lead the army to Luoyang. When he reached Guangling, he was afraid of the Xiongnu troops and thought that he would die if he went north, so he refused to advance. King Langya urged him repeatedly, and he was furious.
, then he rebelled and honored Sun Hao's son as King of Wu." Wang Yan said: "Chu Zhong——has been defeated and rushed south to Jianye."
Wang Xuan subconsciously felt something was wrong and asked: "Since Qian Chuan rebelled in Guangling, what does he have to do with Uncle Chu Zhong? He can just go back to Luoyang on his own."
When Wang Yan heard this, his face became even more bitter, and he said: "Chu Zhong sent someone back to deliver a letter, saying that he wanted to report to King Langya and that he could not return to Luoyang."
Wang Xuan felt that there was a bigger problem, but after seeing his father's face, he understood.
The messenger can return to Luoyang, but Uncle Chu Zhong can't?
Qian Chuan led the army to rebel and even fought a battle with Uncle Chu Zhong. Countless people have reported Shouchun, Zhou Fu and Jianye Sima Rui to such a big thing. Do you need to go there and report it in person?
Furthermore, Uncle Chu Zhong is already the right-guard general of the Forbidden Army. If he doesn't come back, what will happen to this position?
What's going on!
Never before at this moment did Wang Xuan complain so much about this clan uncle.
If the government cannot be handled, then it is better to run away. But at this critical moment, why should you run?
Even if the Langya Wang family was not among the first batch of scholars to cross south, they were among the first to go south. Now there are hundreds of people living near Jianye. Uncle Maohong is the mastermind of the Langya king. Do you need to join us again?
Nowadays, Luoyang is even more short of people!
"The matter has come to this, there is no point in sighing." Wang Yan took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and forced a smile.
Wang Xuan looked at his father's face, and anger gradually rose in his heart.
My father shamelessly goes around and fights with others, isn't it for the sake of the family?
Wang Chuzhong, ask yourself, when was it that your father didn't help you sort out all the bad things you did? When was there a time when you didn't get into trouble that your father helped sort out?
When he took office as the governor of Qingzhou, he left his wife and subordinates behind and rode back to Luoyang alone because he encountered bandits on the road. He became a laughing stock for a while. If someone else had caused this kind of disaster, even if they didn't die, they would never get up again. As a result, my father was showing off his old face.
, I paid a lot of money and helped you get secretary-prison, central secretary-prison, and then governor of Yangzhou, allowing you to stand up again.
He is not so kind to his biological son!
Now I need your help, how do you repay your father? You are an ungrateful person!
"Grandpa, what should I do with General Youwei? How about calling someone from Langya or Jianye?" Wang Xuan suggested after calming down.
"It's too late..." Wang Yan looked up at the sky.
Probably, this is doubting life.
He worked for the benefit of the family, and in the end, the family was full of incompetent people, which disappointed him time and time again.
Not as good as Shao Xun, an outsider!
He will always appear when you need him, even if you have to pay a certain price.
But Wang Yan is not afraid of paying the price. He has long been accustomed to making deals with others. What he fears most is people who are unreasonable, unable to communicate, and unable to make deals.
The most reliable people are outsiders!
"General Youwei already has someone?" Wang Xuan was shocked.
"Yes." Wang Yan nodded and said: "The beggar army has arrived in the northern suburbs of Luoyang. It is led by Li Yun and has 15,000 people. Situ appointed Li Yun as the right guard general to reorganize the imperial army."
Li Yun was an old member of Sima Teng, the former governor of Bingzhou. He served successively as county magistrate, prefect, general, and finally became a beggar commander. This is also a dark humor.
The beggar army is probably also the refugee army with the highest initial "organization" in history. Officials from the three-level leadership team of the state, county and county personally "went to sea" and took them to Hebei to beg for food. It is a standard internal refugee army - very magical.
A thing that belongs to the characteristics of the Jin Dynasty.
"Can you think of a way?" Wang Xuan asked anxiously.
Wang Yan shook his head and said: "We discussed a major matter today. Situ is leaving the town to serve as a feudal lord."
Later, Wang Yan explained it carefully.
Since the Xiongnu army retreated in early November last year and Luoyang turned its back on danger, the court has entered a new round of reshuffle.
Within three months, the emperor gradually gained the support of a group of people: headed by Xun Fan and Xun Zu, Liu Tun was also slightly inclined to the emperor.
Sima Yue was in poor health, his heart was scattered, he felt more and more bad, and subconsciously wanted to do something.
In addition, the food stored in Taicang in Dongyangmen is becoming increasingly scarce. After the arrival of the beggar army of 10,000 or 20,000 people, the money and food expenses have become increasingly huge, and it cannot be sustained for long.
Under such circumstances, Sima Yue decided to leave Yanzhou—just a year ago, he was still a herdsman in Yanzhou.
Yanzhou is adjacent to Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and has jurisdiction over Puyang, Dongping, Jibei, Chenliu, Rencheng, Gaoping Liuguo, Taishan and Jiyin counties, a total of eight counties, with a large population and abundant products.
The current people in power in Xuzhou are Wang Long and Pei Dun.
The former was born in the Wang family of Donghai and was a close confidant of Situ. His position was to "supervise Xuzhou's military affairs" (commander).
The latter is the elder brother of Princess Pei and the governor of Xuzhou.
After leaving the town of Yanzhou, Xuzhou can be more easily controlled - at least before Sima Yue's death, as his base camp and the hometown of many scholars in the shogunate, Xuzhou could not overturn the world.
Wang Yan once wondered if Sima Yue had gone crazy and wanted to kill Gou Xi before he died and let out a bad breath?
This is not impossible.
It is difficult for you to guess the mental state of a person before death.
On the other hand, if the Gou brothers are eliminated (Gou Xi is the governor of Qingzhou and Gou Chun is the governor), Qingzhou is captured, and Yan, Xu and Qing are united, it will be a very large vassal town.
Would Situ think of using these three states as a basis and leaving them under his son's control?
No one knows what he thinks.
Anyway, he has no future in Luoyang, and his power is being eroded day by day. He might as well leave the town and become a vassal, but he can survive for a while.
It's not easy for Situ. He really risked his life for the sake of the prince.
"Situ wants to take away the army, how can this be done?" Wang Xuan was a little anxious: "If the Huns attack, how can we defend without soldiers?"
"What Situ wants to take away is the left army. There are 15,000 right-wing troops, plus 15,000 beggars. If there are only 30,000 people, no one can stop them. This is the army that Situ brought to Luoyang.
"Wang Yan said: "The right guard of ten thousand soldiers may be a bit convincing. The only one who can stop Situ is Chen Hou, but I don't know if he is willing to break up with Situ for these people. After all, he is also willing to see Situ.
Those who came from the feudal vassal outside the town."
Wang Xuan sighed, not knowing what he felt in his heart.
Who is to blame? It seems that no one can blame it.
I gave you a chance, but who can blame you for not taking it?
"Let's talk about the trip to Yingchuan." Wang Yan frowned, feeling a little exhausted.
"Yu Minhu pretended to be a tiger and subdued the Xun family. Yingchuan should obey Chen Hou." Wang Xuan said: "Chen Hou made conditions, Chen Kuang was appointed as the prefect, and the various families provided Chen Hou with money, food, and men to help him in his campaign.
In return, everything remains the same in Yingchuan
, the conditions are very favorable. The Yingyang Tinghou of the Xun family is probably going to die of illness, and the family business cannot be saved, because Chen Hou wants to set up auxiliary troops to farm in Yingyin, and the Xun family will definitely give up part of the land and population.
The Xun Xian family may not have enough land."
Wang Yan nodded.
Xun's surrender is inevitable, what can they do? Let the emperor issue an edict to forget about it? Will they care about you? This is a military leader with a reputation for being domineering.
If Xun Xian is killed and part of the land is vomited out, the matter ends here, which is the best result for the Xun family.
And Chen Hou also put his hand into the iron wall of Yingchuan for the first time. He still tried his best in such a gentle and decent way, which made people look at him.
In addition, Wang Yan does not think this is the final outcome of the Xun family.
No one can guarantee what will happen in the future after the troops are stationed at Yingyang Pavilion.
The world is changing faster and faster!
After the father and son finished chatting, Wang Yan wanted to continue the military discussion, and Wang Xuan was also ready to listen. After all, he had joined the army, although he had not yet canceled his leave.
At this moment, Princess Pei of Donghai came out with Princess Liu of Nanyang in her arms.
Mrs. Liu's face was ashen, and her eyes were red and swollen.
Pei's face was tense and she seemed unhappy.
Sima Li looked confused, not knowing what happened.
The Wang family father and son didn't look much and went straight to the study.
Chapter completed!
