Chapter 5171 The reason why Wang Meng did not come to Jin State
Shen Linzi said coldly: "But among our prisoners and captures, there are at least a thousand old thieves who have followed the demon thieves during the San Wu period and the Guangzhou period. They are not just a mob. Is it possible that to die is to let elite troops and many years of old thieves To die?"
Wang Zhen'e said calmly: "I don't want to give up the child, but I can't trap the wolf. Xu Daofu has always been ruthless in his military use, and you can't always judge him. Just like your Shen family in the past, your father was one of the first batch to join when all the eight counties rebelled." The elders of the Celestial Master Dao even had contacts with the Celestial Master Dao when Sun Tai was killed and Sun En fled to the island, risking the genocide to help these old thieves at sea, I am right."
Shen Linzi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Our Shen family has believed in the Tao of Heavenly Masters for hundreds of years. Our ancestors also received five buckets of rice as a favor so that they would not starve to death in the war at the founding of the country. Sun Taiben was given to Sima Daozi and Sima Yuanxian and his son. He was killed by despicable means. At that time, everyone in the world thought it was an unjust case. They sympathized with Tianshi Dao and hated Sima Dao and his son. Although Tianshi Dao's rebellion later changed its flavor, before, they were deeply popular and wanted to Otherwise, all the eight counties would not have rebelled, and the king would suppress the evil. You, an outsider from Guanzhong, have no right to comment on this. If you really want to talk about rebellion, your Wang family has served the puppet dynasty for many years in Guanzhong and the former Qin Dynasty. Your famous grandfather is still What about the prime ministers of former Qin’s enemy countries? Isn’t this kind of surrendering to the enemy more serious?”
Wang Zhen'e smiled slightly: "I have never denied this, so I will not stop others from talking about this. My grandfather served as the prime minister of the former Qin Dynasty for many years, but it was not because Yongjia was in chaos and was in an enemy country. No chance to choose?"
Shen Linzi laughed: "Those who have no choice are ordinary people, not your world-famous grandfather. When Huan Wen led his army into Guanzhong, your grandfather once went to the military gate to ask for an audience. Huan Wen marveled at his talent and wanted to We wanted to take him back to the Jin State Commission to give him a heavy responsibility, but your grandfather refused and took the initiative to seek refuge with Fu Jian. Is this a choice he had?"
Wang Zhene said calmly: "That's precisely because he saw the inside story of the Jin State. Huan Wen was ambitious and wanted to seize Jingzhou and usurp the throne to establish himself. On the one hand, the big families in Jiankang would join forces to resist Huan Wen, and on the other hand, they would His nephew could always hold power and was capable of scheming. Even though he didn't know that an organization like Black Hand Qiankun existed at the time, he also knew that the central power of the Jin State was in the hands of aristocratic families. He, a foreign nobleman, would not have the opportunity to rise. of."
"If you want to be promoted, there is only one way, and that is to help Huan Wen usurp the throne. However, Huan Wen was not like the people of the world who thought at the time. He was like Brother Jinu who unified the world, regained the two capitals, and expelled the Hulu. Although he also The Northern Expedition was launched, but the purpose of his Northern Expedition was just to accumulate prestige and military merit and to prepare for future usurpation of the throne. It was not really to conquer the Huru country and regain the lost territory."
When Wang Zhene said this, he looked at brothers Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi: "Two brothers Shitou, your Zhu family has followed Huan Wen for many years. Is there anything inappropriate in what I just analyzed?"
Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi looked at each other, sighed, and said: "You are right about suppressing evil. Although Huan Wen is the benefactor of our Zhu family, he is not like Brother Jinu who really wants to make the Northern Expedition and regain the lost territory. Back then, In the Battle of Guanzhong, Huan Wen could have stormed Chang'an in one go after his victory in the field, regardless of casualties, broke the city in one fell swoop, and wiped out the former Qin Dynasty. However, he chose not to do so because he was afraid that the casualties of his Jingzhou Army would be too great, which would affect his ability to seize the throne in Beijing. capital.”
"If you want to settle for the next best thing, you can also be like Xi Yan and besiege Chang'an City in Guanzhong for a long time. Just like Jinu Ge attacked Guanggu, you can make extensive alliances with the powerful people in Guanzhong. You can appoint officials and make wishes to win their hearts and let the powerful people in Guanzhong provide manpower and food.
Even serving as an assistant in the army can make Chang'an surrender in Kaicheng. It was at this time that Wang Meng took the initiative to go to Huan Wen's army to see him, and he also proposed this plan. His grandfather was in the tent at the time, so for these things,
I remember it very clearly.”
"But Huan Wen still refused, because he felt that delaying in Guanzhong for too long would consume the army's strength, which was not good for him. The most fundamental point is that he did not want to stay in Guanzhong for a long time, so even if he captured Chang'an and eliminated the former Qin, it would be nothing more than
It was just a wedding dress for others, just like his attitude towards the Central Plains. Even if Luoyang was captured, he would not really manage the Central Plains and send a large army to garrison it. Instead, he would withdraw his troops and withdraw to Jingzhou. Therefore, for Huan Wen, the Northern Expedition was very important.
What we want is just the glory of the Northern Expedition, not the real territory of the Northern Expedition."
Wang Zhene sighed: "It is because my grandfather saw through Huan Wen and the internal struggle for power in the Jin Kingdom. If he had returned to the Jin Kingdom at that time, he would have either become a think tank for Huan Wen to usurp the throne, or he would have become the backbone of Huan Wen after he failed in his struggle with the wealthy families.
The chess piece that was pushed out to take responsibility was just like Yuzhou Governor Yuan Zhen. The failure of the Northern Expedition became Huan Wen's excuse to attack and destroy him. Brother Shitou, Ling's grandfather was probably killed by Yuan Zhen in that incident.
"
Zhu Lingshi gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously: "Yes, my grandfather stayed with Yuan Zhen to help him. Huan Wen ordered the Shimen Waterway to be opened and supplies to the front line. As a result, Yuan Zhen was bewitched by the mafia.
Deliberately delaying, his grandfather refused to listen to his several urgings, which led to the failure of the front line due to lack of food. Afterwards, Huan Wen claimed that Yuan Zhen had treason and surrendered to the enemy, and sent troops to attack. His grandfather was unwilling to serve Yuan Zhen, so he was killed. This kind of
In the struggle for power and gain, it is our Zhu family who suffers!"
Wang Zhene nodded: "Yes, my grandfather just didn't want to get involved in this kind of dispute, so he didn't return to the Jin Kingdom. After all, he also said that even if he helped Huan Wen succeed in usurping the throne, it was unlikely that anything good would happen.
The ending. He cannot be Jia Chong of the Western Jin Dynasty."
Tan Daoji frowned: "Why is this? If Huan Wen succeeds in usurping the throne, he will be the number one hero. Shouldn't he be prosperous and wealthy in the future and be a highly respected minister?"
Wang Zhen'e sighed and said: "Even if he helped Huan Wen ascend the throne as a foreign scholar, it is impossible to say that all the high-ranking families in Wu were wiped out by Huan Wen overnight. It must have been the same."
First surrender and be submissive, and then look for opportunities to counterattack. In order to balance the relationship with them, Huan Wen would inevitably alienate and let go of his grandfather after successfully usurping the throne, because Huan Wen did not want to expedition to the Central Plains to the north and regain the lost territory. The ambition and talent of his grandfather
, and how to use it? Is it possible that in the history of history, he is the think tank of a usurper, like Jia Chong, who helps the future emperor to assassinate the current emperor on the street?" (End of this chapter)
