Seven hundred and fiftieth chapters: Jiangnan foregone conclusion
Today's Wan He is no longer the unknown dandy in Luoyang City back then. At least, now Wan He's every move and gesture has the aura of a superior, and he no longer looks like the merchant's kid back then.
Especially after the battle in Jishui a few months ago, Wan He personally commanded the battle and won a complete victory, which added a lot of courage to Wan He. Even facing the ministers sitting down, he was calm and composed!
"Your Majesty!" As soon as Wan He sat down, someone stood up, but it was Wan He's number one loser in the officialdom, Yang Lu. Yang Lu came out of the queue, bowed to Wan He, and said: "A hundred days ago,
The Lord of Ji State sent people to pay tribute and wanted to form an alliance with our court!"
"Baekje Kingdom?" Wan He narrowed his eyes and shook his head for a long time, but he couldn't remember where this Baekje Kingdom came from. However, in front of so many civil and military ministers, Wan He was not good.
Showing how ignorant he is, Wan He simply raised his nose and hummed as if he had a pearl of wisdom: "It's just a small border country, why do you need to ask me for instructions on such a matter? Everything will be handled as usual.
That’s it!”
"Yes! I understand!" Yang Lu didn't dare to have any doubts about Wan He's words. He immediately nodded and bowed, then returned to his position with his waist hunched over.
"Well! If there is anything else you want to discuss, please tell me!" After simply dismissing Yang Lu, Wan He glanced at everyone again, feeling a little unhappy in his heart. Wan He knew before that this big man
Being an official is not that easy. Among other things, you have to go to the palace early every morning to attend court, and you can't doze off secretly like before. It's really unlucky!
Of course, it was not that Wan He had never thought of moving directly to the palace and having an affair with his young lover who was the Empress Dowager of the Sui Dynasty. But the thought of being discovered would not only bring bad reputation, but also affect the
The morale of my army is not very good after all, so I have to give up. However, it would be good to wait until the court meeting is over every now and then to have a warm and gentle relationship with the Queen Mother Xiao! When I think of the fair and smooth skin of the Queen Mother Xiao, I am so excited.
He's heart immediately felt warm, and his energy level improved a lot.
"Your Majesty! Xiangyang has sent military information! Please review it, Your Majesty!" Someone else came out and handed over a memorial. When he heard this, Wan He's eyes became brighter, and he immediately asked someone to send the general information over.
.
Previously, Wan He discussed with a group of his counselors and sent Li Jing to the west to deal with Li Shimin, while he led the troops north to deal with Luo Yi, and then sent Pei Renji and his son south to deal with the restless Du Fuwei. Originally, Wan He defeated Luo Yi.
After Yi, he was planning to go north to regain the northern Xinjiang territory in one go. However, Pei Renji had just sent out troops, but he got intelligence. After Zhu Can conquered Jiujiang, he teamed up with Du Fuwei to surround Yueyang, the gateway of Xiao Xian. Yueyang was in danger. Now, Yueyang was in danger.
Wan He didn't have the intention to go north again, so he quickly moved his army back to Luoyang, ready to support Pei Renji's army in the south.
His own servant, General Qing, handed it over and sent it to Wan He. Wan He also took the memorial directly and opened it without saying a word. After reading it briefly, Wan He's eyebrows immediately wrinkled up. It seemed that this
The military situation is not good!
When all the ministers below saw Wan He's appearance, they all made secret guesses in their hearts and did not dare to speak out. After a long time, Wan He slowly put aside the memorial in his hand and took a deep breath.
He said in a deep voice: "Everyone! The situation in the south is a bit surprising! Hum, I didn't expect that Xiao Mian would form an alliance with Lin Shihong, and Du Fuwei and Zhu Can returned with a great defeat in Yueyang! Although General Pei Renji conquered
We arrived in Xiangyang, but when we saw the situation in the south of the Yangtze River changing drastically, we did not continue south easily! How do you think we should handle the situation in the south of the Yangtze River?"
Except for the Minister of War who sent the military memorial, the other ministers were all shocked when they heard the news. Xiao Mian and Lin Shihong? Aren't these two enemies? How could Hao Duanduan form an alliance? Xiao Mian and Lin Shihong.
But they are all the overlords of Jiangnan! If the two of them join forces, wouldn't the whole of Jiangnan be invincible? No wonder even Du Fuwei and Zhu Can were defeated! Now Jiangnan is really powerful!
Wan He also had a gloomy look on his face. Du Fuwei and Zhu Can joining forces originally were enough to give him a headache. Now Xiao Mian and Lin Shihong joining forces are more harmful than Du Fuwei and Zhu Can joining forces! When he thinks of this, Wan He
He couldn't help but greet the women in Du Fuwei's family a hundred times. If Du Fuwei hadn't suddenly appeared like this, how could Xiao Mian be forced to form an alliance with his old enemy Lin Shihong! This old bastard couldn't help with business.
Just cause trouble to yourself!
"Your Majesty!" Just when Wan He was worried, another voice rang out, but it was Wan He's confidant Chang Sun Wuji who came out. When he saw Chang Sun Wuji coming out, Wan He's eyes lit up.
, the ministers around them all pricked up their ears. Everyone knew that Changsun Wuji was Wanhe's confidant and was extremely resourceful. If he stepped out, he would definitely have a way to deal with the predicament in Jiangnan!
"Wuji! Do you have a magic recipe?" Seeing Changsun Wuji speak, Wan He immediately became excited. Sure enough, his brother was the best!
"Your Highness! The lower official believes that the power of Jiangnan is a foregone conclusion. Under the strong power of Your Majesty, Xiao Mian and Lin Shihong will never disband the alliance in a short period of time!" Changsun Wuji ignored the looks of the ministers around him, with a look on his face.
Said calmly, as if stating a simple fact.
Originally, everyone including Wan He was expecting Changsun Wuji to come up with some good way to break up the covenant between Xiao Mian and Lin Shihong, but unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji said something like this, asking Wan He to wait.
Everyone couldn't help but show disappointed expressions. But in this regard, Changsun Wuji was calm and said calmly: "However, with the current strength of the prince, what does it matter if Xiao Mian and Lin Shihong form an alliance?
, at worst, treat his two forces as one force! Over the years, has the prince not been able to deal with fewer powerful opponents? "
What Changsun Wuji said made Wan He and all the ministers stunned. What Changsun Wuji said was not unreasonable, and Wan He was even more surprised, because such words were really
It's not like what Changsun Wuji said, but it's a bit like the tone of Liu Wenjing who is still in Xiangyang!
In response to everyone's surprise, Changsun Wuji just smiled faintly, and then bowed to Wan He and said: "Besides, the prince is not alone in dealing with Xiao Mian and Lin Shihong. Has the prince forgotten? This time, Xiao Mian and Lin Shihong were forced to fight.
Who is Lin Shihong’s alliance with?”
"Du Fuwei and Zhu Can?" Wan He frowned and subconsciously said these two names. However, after saying these two names, Wan He shook his head again and said: "Du Fuwei is just the same.
Forget it, that Zhu Can has a notorious reputation! How can I, the king, associate with him?"
Wan He was right. When he heard that Du Fuwei and Zhu Can were joining forces, Wan He was so angry that he almost jumped up! Who is Zhu Can? The notorious ogre king! Not only does he eat people himself, he also
Let his subordinates get together to eat people! If this happened in future generations, he would definitely be sentenced to ****! If he got involved with Zhu Can, wouldn't it also ruin his reputation?
?
Not only did Wan He disagree, almost all the ministers present who reacted opened their mouths to object. If they hadn't worried that Chang Sun Wuji was Wan He's confidant, all of these people would have pointed at Chang Sun Wuji's nose and cursed him!
Seeing that he had aroused public anger, Changsun Wuji did not rush to refute or defend. Instead, he just watched everyone reprimand him without any rush. After waiting for a long time, everyone's voices gradually subsided, Changsun Wuji
Then he said: "My lords, don't be impatient! Let me hear what I have to say! I naturally know that I cannot join forces with Zhu Can. However, in the land south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Can is not the only one who opposes Xiao Xian.
Forgot, there is also a King of Chu who was personally conferred by the imperial court!"
"Uh!" Changsun Wuji said this, and everyone was stunned. Of course they knew who Changsun Wuji was talking about, and it was Du Fuwei! But, wasn't this Du Fuwei in alliance with Zhu Can?
Joining forces with Du Fuwei, wouldn't that mean joining forces with Zhu Can? Besides, due to the defeat in Pingyuan, Du Fuwei and Wan He had already broken up, and Wan He had previously sent Pei Renji to capture Xiangyang.
After coming down, would Du Fuwei be willing to make peace with Wan He?
"Haha!" Seeing that everyone was full of doubts, Changsun Wuji laughed a few more times, and then raised his hands to Wan He and said: "My lord, what the official said is not actually Du Fuwei. According to the following
Officials know that Du Fuwei teamed up with Zhu Can to send troops to Yueyang, but Liyang was guarded by his adopted son Kan Leng! Kan Leng was Du Fuwei's adopted son and was very loyal to Du Fuwei.
Naturally, he will not betray Du Fuwei. However, it is Du Fuwei's deputy, Fu Gongyou, who is guarding Liyang with Kan Leng!"
"Fu Gongyou?" The names popped out one after another from Changsun Wuji's mouth. Those who were familiar with Jianghuai were fine, but those who were not familiar with it were confused and completely dizzy! Wan He was
One of them looked at Changsun Wuji with confusion, and couldn't help but ask: "Wuji, who is this Fu Gongyou?"
"Lord Changsun, I have heard the name of Fu Gongyou before! However, this person is also loyal to Du Fuwei, just like Kan Leng. Your Excellency pointed out this person, and it is..." At this time, a person
A famous military general came out, but it was the famous Sui general Chen Leng! Chen Leng was sent to Jianghuai to quell the rebellion, and his main opponent was Du Fuwei. He also knew Du Fuwei's generals very well, so he had some doubts.
