"The situation in Jingkou looks much better than we expected." Wang Mi sighed.
Although Xuanmendu is a bit deserted, the market in Jingkou is still very lively. It can be seen from the calm and peaceful expressions of people that the people of Jingkou have not noticed anything unusual here in recent days.
Zeng Jingce immediately stepped forward and disagreed: "His Majesty passed away earlier, and now General Xie is seriously ill and cannot rush to Jingkou. It's not that my subordinates want to say something unlucky. When General Liu gets all the news, the situation in Jingkou will definitely not be optimistic.'
Does he still need to say this?
Wang Mi glanced sideways at him, knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, he chose to go to the Tiger Mountains!
It’s time to go meet Liu Laozhi!
We need to compete to know which big tiger can be left on the mountain top of Beifu! "Let's go!"
"Go to the camp!"
As soon as I kicked the stirrup, the horse's hooves started galloping. When I arrived at Jingkou, I finally found the feeling of galloping.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor of the old Sima family was so terrible, Wang Mi would not want to interfere in the affairs of the court.
Wouldn't it be better to let him be a general in Jingkou, riding horses and whips, with high ambitions?
such a pity!
The body he took was doomed, and he did not have such a free life.
Judging from the situation at the end of the Jin Dynasty, if you don't win at the court, you will not have a good life at the local level.
Rather than giving the opportunity to other people in the family and letting them fight, it would be better for Wang Mi to come on stage in person, which would make people more reassured.
"Wait a minute, Zeng Jing, look, is that a slave?"
The two of them were about to run towards the Jingkou camp. Before they could get very far, they saw a familiar figure riding on a horse, looking very anxious.
Zeng Jing could recognize him without looking closely. The familiar big face and the clogs he had to put on when not going to court or fighting clearly indicated his identity.
"Yes, the minister is right."
"It is indeed General Liu.
However, this pace is a bit fast!
Even Zeng Jing knew that Liu Yu was not an impetuous person. Even on the battlefield, he was decisive and calm in killing.
This is the safest place outside Jiankang City in Jingkou. Why did Liu Yu gallop on his horse as if he encountered some danger?
Wang Mi suddenly realized that something was wrong and rushed forward to greet him.
"Send a slave!"
"What happened?'
Liu Yu was concentrating all his strength and running towards the outside of the city. Suddenly, the imaginary target suddenly appeared in his sight, and he was stunned.
"Zhiyuan, why did you come to Jingkou?
"Did something happen to the court?"
Look at his wild eyes, as if he is expecting something to happen.
"It's true that something happened, but why are you so anxious?'
"Want to go out of town?'
Behind Wei Fan were several of his close generals, including Zhao Dang who temporarily surrendered at the gate of Nanyang City.
Could it be that Wei Fanjian has changed?
Judging from the direction they were running, it was roughly towards the outside of Jingkou City. How could Xie Xuan think of leaving the city in such a critical moment?
The doubts in Beifu's heart suddenly became deeper.
"Don't worry about so much now, just follow me!"
Xie Xuan said hello, and everyone followed him. Although the cavalry team only had a dozen people, it was still small in size.
Looking at his actions, Beifu judged that Xie Xuan really didn't want them to enter the city, or even enter Sun Tai's tent.
Tsk tsk
This is not easy to handle.
Will Xie Xuan faint on the spot after hearing the bad news he brought?
What is certain is that the news brought by Wei Fan will not satisfy Wei Fan. The people on both sides naturally became one.
Then, without wasting much time, they arrived at a dilapidated Dragon King Temple on the outskirts of Jingkou.
"Zeng Jing.
"The end will be here.
"Take these horses to feed some fodder, and be alert. If there is any trouble, come and report immediately!'
Zeng Jing received the order, turned around and went to do the work. The whole process was completed in one go and he felt neat.
This ruined temple has been abandoned for a long time, and Beifu already knew about it when he was still temporarily staying in Jingkou.
This is indeed a good place to talk about secrets.
Although it has entered late autumn, the weather today can be said to be light and breezy, and there is plenty of light in the ruined temple, which does not make people feel lonely.
"Jinnu, I also have some bad news to tell you. What about it, should you tell it first or should I tell you first?
This doesn't seem to be something worth feeling. Xie Xuan frowned, but someone could still laugh. It seemed that he was confident.
"Sima Yao wants to rebel!'
Xie Xuan is not a person who can hide his words, and he also has a short temper. Since Beifu wants to talk about him, it is better for him to speak first.
Such a shocking sentence did not shock Beifu. Xie Xuan asked suspiciously: Zhiyuan, why are you so fierce? You have already thought that Sima Yao is restless?'
Beifu nodded: "This is expected. We are lucky that he can persist until now and still stand still.
"Do you know who he is colluding with in the DPRK?'
"how?'
"Is there anyone else in the court who colludes with him?'
Beifu did not expect this. According to historical records, before the Battle of Feishui, Wei Fanjian had always been Wei Fan's confidant. At that time, with his status, there was no possibility of managing connections.
With Wang Mi suppressing him, no important official in the court would even think of wooing him. After all, everyone knew that he, Sima Yao, was from the Xie family.
Even if Wei Fan abandons him, there will be other Xie family members to command him.
Looking at the current situation in the court, it is obvious that Wang Gong has his own group of people, and Sima Daozi, that Bangchui just wants to take the upper-level route and directly take over from his brother. As for the others, he does not consider them at all.
.
This is also the best choice for Sima Daozi. He can legitimately be the emperor and does not need to fight with swords at all.
Who else?
Who else would collude with Wei Fanjian?
"This person, maybe even Zhiyuan, you wouldn't have guessed, is Liu Yu!'
"The great Celestial Master of Celestial Master Dao, Wei Fan!" Xie Xuan said firmly.
The hatred towards Tianshi Dao is almost overflowing!
Resentment, love!
Why do people like Tianshi Dao have to focus on causing trouble?
In Xie Xuan's view, their repeated troubles were of no use at all. They could neither pacify foreign troubles nor truly seize power into their own hands. The only thing they could do was disrupt the order within the Jin Dynasty.
The people of Jin Dynasty, who had only had a comfortable life for a few days, were plunged into war again.
Before Wei Fan started revolt, Xie Xuan had already made such a judgment, and there would be no fundamental difference between Liu Yu and Su Jun, Wang Dun and others in the past.
There was absolutely no way he could eat Da Jin's entire plate, even though they only had half of it now.
Grab profits?
Give me a break!
Wang Dun and others also said that they could consolidate their own power and allow the court to show courtesy to them, local officials with real power.
What about Liu Yu?
Until now, although he follows Wei Fanjian every day, he still has no official position in the court. Unless he can turn himself into the emperor of the Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop, he will not get much benefit in the court.
Or perhaps, by recommending Sima Daozi as emperor, Liu Yu might still be able to rise through Sima Daozi, a big fool.
Xie Xuan told Beifu everything he had learned from Liu Muzhi these days. Although what he had here was only second-hand information, he still reported it to Beifu attentively.
After hearing this news, Beifu fell completely silent.
It seemed that the situation was more complicated and dangerous than he thought.
How could Sima Yao be so awake?
He actually colluded with Liu Yu and the others!
Although in history, his IQ was not very high and his mind was small, he would not have gone to the dog-headed general Liu Yu just to prevent Xie Xuan, Wei Fan and others from stepping on his head!
Not only will it fail, it will definitely drag Sima Yao into an abyss of eternal destruction!
However, this is his own choice, who can he blame?
Moreover, Wei Fan and the others are really powerless. They belong to two camps. The biggest reason why Sima Yao must join Liu Yu is Wei Fan.
Even Xie Xuan is secondary. After all, Xie Xuan's reputation among Sun Taizhong is still lower than that of Wei Fanjian.
What Sima Yao cannot tolerate is Wei Fan, an airborne soldier!
"Zhiyuan, what should we do?"
This is the focus of Wei Fan's attention. This time he ran out of the camp specifically to send someone to deliver a message to Beifan and the others.
The destination is Jiankang City.
Who would have thought that Beifu and the others would actually come to the door in person, so what are you waiting for?
Of course, we had to quickly settle the matter where Sima Yao and the others couldn't pay attention! "Ji Nu, don't be impatient yet.'
"You haven't heard the bad news from me yet!"
As the saying goes, if there are too many lice, don’t bite them; if there are too many debts, don’t worry about them.
Wei Fan was anxious to go to bed, but he had no time to spare and spoke slowly.
"General Xie cannot return to Jingkou!'
What?
Xie Xuan was confused!
What a bolt from the blue!
It was really a leaky house, and it was raining continuously. Here, Wei Fanjian had just collapsed, and over there, within a day, Wang Mi fell ill and became a cripple.
At this moment, Xie Xuan also understood why Beifu didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. There had been so many changes that everyone was numb.
"Ji Nu, I came to Jiankang this time just to answer Duke Xie's request. He hopes that I will temporarily take over the post of General Xie.'
Originally, everything would not go so smoothly. Beifu has never had the experience of commanding a large army. He is also a child of a noble family and represents a strong force in the court. Whether Sun Tai can be handed over to his hands is a matter of extensive need.
discussed.
However, once Wei Fanjian died, many things would be different. There was no need to ask other people for instructions. In such an emergency, Sun Tai would of course need to find someone to take over temporarily.
After the death of His Majesty the Emperor, people in the court were in a state of confusion, and many things could not be taken care of. Naturally, Xie An let whomever he asked to go.
"Zhiyuan, Wei Fanjian is ready to make a move now. Sun Tai's people are in Sun Taili. If Zi appears in front of him now, he will definitely make him jump over the wall.
"If he learns about General Xie again, the situation in Beifu will immediately change dramatically, and it will be difficult for us to handle it.
What Xie Xuan said is not what Beifu is worried about.
It was himself who first received these two pieces of news. Along the way, he imagined many scenarios, but could not get a good plan.
There is no other reason. Wei Fanjian is definitely not easy to convince, and he is also very vague. The appearance of his Beifan in Wei Fan is definitely not something Sima Yao wants to see.
Maybe, if he didn't come, Sima Yao could endure it for a while, but when he saw him, Sima Yao would definitely get angry quickly.
Things are indeed going to develop in the direction he imagined, and another variable has been added to it.
That's Liu Yu.
Beifu never expected that this old fox would hook up with Sima Yao first. At this moment, Liu Yu, who was originally weak in the military field, instantly became nervous!
The power he controls is no longer a ragtag group of soldiers and generals, but the resounding Sun Taibing with first-class combat effectiveness!
Isn’t this equivalent to adding more power to a tiger?
"No matter what, we must control Sun Tai first!"
"We must not let Sima Yao get the upper hand!'
"Once we let him know that not only His Majesty has passed away, but even General Xie cannot control Sun Tai, we will be in big trouble!"
If Sima Yao was the only one in Sun Taili, maybe things would have been smoother, but unfortunately, Sun En was by his side.
There is a person behind this conspiracy who is provoking people around Wei Fanjian every day.
"Muzhi has an idea, but I think it's too safe and the chances of success are low, so I haven't dared to say it." Wei Fan hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
If there hadn't been something wrong with Wang Mi, he wouldn't have thought of it. However, now that the situation was here, it was extremely urgent, and he had no choice!
Beifu raised his eyelids and waited for his answer. Wei Fan calmed down and said: "Go ahead and kill Sima Yao!"
"Very good!
"Unexpectedly, Liu Muzhi actually went with me!"
"It's too late, let's leave as soon as possible!"
Why did you think of going together?
You haven’t prepared anything yet, are you about to set off?
Xie Xuan stopped Beifu and said worriedly: "Although this is a last resort, Zhiyuan, we still need to take a long-term approach!'
"Sima Yao has widespread influence in Sun Tai and is quite prestigious. We have no way of starting.'
From Liu Yu's point of view, he was not afraid of being accused of killing an army general, but he was really afraid of not being able to do it.
If they can't kill Sima Yao in one fell swoop and give him a chance to breathe, they will be the ones who die by then!
"Slave slave, don't worry about these things."
"We will return to Sun Tai later. You contact Muzhi and go and control the troops in each battalion first. I suspect that since Muzhi gave you the idea, he must have already thought of a way to deal with it."
"Leave the matter of killing Sima Yao to me!" Beifu said categorically. If he were still the weak scholar in history, he would definitely not be able to say such a thing.
The first thing that came to mind was to let Xie Xuan rush to the front to protect him, a member of a noble family.
However, the current Beifu has already gone through the baptism of war and has become a brand new person. Killing people has no psychological burden for him.
Of course, even if he is a born warrior, when he steps off the battlefield and picks up the butcher knife, his thoughts will always be a little different.
It was like, when Li Shimin dominated the world, he would slash and kill without blinking an eye. However, when he swung the butcher knife at his own brother, he still felt unprecedented pressure and guilt.
It can be seen that people's thoughts will change if they are separated from the battlefield situation.
