Chapter 718 Stupid
Fan Wenjin, who survived from the danger of death, but was blessed by misfortune and suddenly rose to the top of the position, well interprets the meaning of seeking wealth and danger.
But having said that, Fan Wenjin, who is in the land of tigers and wolves, has gained a lot of glory, in addition to his own ability, but also has the prestige of the Han King at a role.
He is now another An Xinggui, but there is no brother like An Xiuren by his side, didn't he see that the heads of the An brothers were hanging on the head of the city all the time? If he dares to be careless, he will likely follow in the footsteps of the An brothers in the near future.
Well, An Xinggui didn't escape from Guzang City in the end, and it was almost the same for his brother An Xiuren, who fled in Guzang City for a long time like a headless fly.
Ironically, it was not their brothers' enemies, let alone the chaotic Qiang, who captured him and sent him to the butcher's knife, but the same people with the surname Zhaowu Jiu.
The cunning and ruthlessness of the businessmen are similar to those of the officials, especially since they don't want to be buried with the An brothers, so they have to make a choice, and it's a good choice question, isn't it?
An Xinggui is a ready-made gift, of course, as losers, they must also pay a certain price, so for a long time, the merchants' goods flowed into the empty treasury of Liangguo, which temporarily alleviated the financial crisis of Liangguo.
In the cold wind of winter, the first thing Fan Wenjin did when he took office was to handle the funeral for Liang Shuo, the secretary of the military department, Li Boyu, the crown prince, and Li Mao, the hussar general.
Then there was the emperor's funeral, it can be said that the Li family went to Huangquan almost at the same time, and what is even more ridiculous is that the new emperor's accession to the throne was also mixed in.
This turmoil obviously cast a layer of absurdity on Liangguo, everything seemed to be a joke, so that Fan Wenjin, who was busy and busy, couldn't have the slightest sense of pride, he felt more like he had plunged into the bandit's nest, no matter how high his official position was, it was difficult for him to let go.
Therefore, in the middle of a series of funerals and happy events, he sent more than ten people to go east with Liang Shiming's team and return to Jin to report to the King of Han.
Well, Liang Shiming is still alive, and he is also fatal, he did not die in the chaos, but he has been involved with Liang Guo's secret communication with Hao Bingxing, the general of the right Xiaowei, not long after the riot was quelled, Hao Bingxing was beheaded for the crime of killing the heavy generals of the DPRK and the central government, so that he had the crime of hiding the chaos.
Hao Bingxing was quite wronged, because the crime on his head was really nonsense, of course, if he turned into a ghost and could still make waves, he must have looked for Liang Shiming, the bastard of his teammates.
And Liang Shiming had a lot of blood on his hands when he was in turmoil, but if you want to ask him who he killed, it is estimated that he himself is not very clear, and it is his real situation to kill people when he sees them.
Fortunately, there is Fan Wenjin to stop him, otherwise, whether he can get out of Guzang or not is a matter, you said that you are a messenger, you ran to Guzang to kill people and set fire, if you don't cut off your dog's head, how can you be embarrassed by the favor of Liang Guozhong?
Fan Wenjin didn't care so much, he only knew that the people in the northwest were crazy, and it was more reliable for His Royal Highness the King of Han, whom he didn't like before, so he sent a message to Li Po, and he would try his best to promote an alliance between the princes of the two countries in the northwest, and at the right time, attack Tang together.
This is an almost impossible task given to him by Li Po, but at the moment, ...... Fan Wenjin seems to really have this ability, the world is changing, and the unexpected is really difficult to express clearly.
This winter, the blood of the people of all ethnic groups in the northwest has been flowing in Bobo, but because of the blockade news and the coming of winter, the chaos has not expanded, but under such a drastic change, the impact must not be limited to Guzang.
But whether this kind of impact will affect the overall situation of the world, no one can speculate at this time.
…………………………
And this winter, the wind in Jiangnan was also very cold.
Zhang Xiu, the king of Qi, led his troops to attack Lin Shihong, in a few months, defeated Lin Shihong, marched into Changsha, and the general Su Huer led the army to take Yuanling.
In addition to occupying most of the territory in the south of the Yangtze River, it also extended its tentacles into Henan, Bashu and other places, and this year has also become the most glorious period of Xiao Mi, even more than the scenery when Wang Shi defeated Li Mi.
It can be said that at this time, if Xiao Mo is called the king of Jiangnan, it is not an exaggeration, and all along, he and Lin Shihong are actually fighting for this position, and he has Jiang Biao, which is the career of Sun Wu back then, and the Southern Dynasties at the end of the Jin Dynasty roughly occupied these territories, but the situation faced by Xiao Mo is more complicated.
In September, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River was still warm, and Zhang Xiu, the king of Qi, was ready to make persistent efforts to completely kill Lin Shihong, who had been messed up, Xiao Miao's edict came to Changsha, and Zhang Xiu, the king of Qi, returned to Beijing to recount.
There is no need to ask the meaning of this, Zhang Xiu has a great achievement, if he is allowed to pacify Jiangnan with his own strength, who knows whether the last king of Jiangnan is Zhang Xiu or Xiao Miao?
This can't be said that Xiao Mo is stupid, jealous and jealous of what can be, once the person with high merit appears, the emperor will inevitably react, and later people will speculate on the situation at that time with if, assuming such words, it is a boring move, and it is not accurate.
Of course, this decision is by no means very wise.
Dong Jingzhen, the king of Jin, served as the Taishou of Changsha and the head of the southern conscription horses, and completely turned out Zhang Xiu's military power, which was similar to the change of generals in the battle, and the offensive of the army was immediately stopped, because of the urgent task, what Dong Jingzhen had to do was not to drive Lin Shihong into the sea, but how to install cronies in the army, and at the same time to appease the proud generals under Zhang Xiu.
In such a situation, if you rashly wave your troops, you are likely to be bitten by Lin Shihong, Zhang Xiu hit Changsha, if you lose the first battle, losing face is a trivial matter, and the people below have to rebel.
As a result, Lin Shihong had a rare respite, intended, and sent an envoy to Du Fuwei, preparing a powerful statement, and wanted to contact Du Fuwei to resist Xiao Milling.
It is impossible to say that it will be successful, but this winter, it is an indisputable fact that Lin Shihong and Xiao Mo re-formed a confrontation under the defeat.
And what is even more terrible is that Zhang Xiu returned to Jiangling, because of the merit of Jin Shangshu Order, for a time everyone praised, the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, Zhang Xiu himself was also proud, every time to the court, he regarded himself as the head of everyone, except for the emperor, if he spoke first, he would be reprimanded by Zhang Xiu.
There are also rumors in private that Zhang Xiu once said when drinking with friends that he admired the demeanor of Cao Gong back then, and the emperor treated him too thinly, so he was not allowed to bring a sword to the court and ride a horse into the palace.
These are all things that are not visible, but it is not good to say, after all, the courtiers of the late Jin Dynasty, especially some generals, have such habits.
So Zhang Xiu died, and was beheaded by Xiao Mo for the crime of wantonly grabbing power and disrespecting the king, and also adhered to Xiao Miao's consistent style, killing it very simply, just like killing a chicken, it didn't take a night to behead everywhere from the crime.
It's just that Xiao Mo didn't expect that at this time he was already the emperor, and his ministers were more than a day, and it was extremely inappropriate to act like he did back then, and Zhang Xiu, the king of Qi, had made great contributions, and now he was still a scholar, and such an important minister was punished, no matter what the reason, it would be a serious political accident.
Now, in addition to making his subordinates frightened, even if the crime is conclusive and true, it will not have any beneficial effect.
In other words, Xiao Mo made a mistake and slaughtered a hero who had just won the victory and returned to the dynasty for a few days as if it were a joke, revealing not the majesty of the emperor, let alone the generous and virtuous name widely praised in Jiangnan, but a trace of anger and indifference to the extreme suspicion.
Even if he had just taken over the military power, Dong Jingzhen, the king of Jin who was far away in Changsha, then played a chapter, "The king of Qi may be guilty, but he has great merit, and please mourn the glory of his death and bury him ......."
He said it more tactfully, like Lei Shimeng, the king of Qin, Zheng Wenxiu, the king of Chu, etc., after hearing the news, they all gave birth to the sadness of the rabbit and the fox, and the battle with Li Tang in Shu came to an abrupt end, not to mention, but also went to the table, shouting for Zhang Xiu, the words were fierce, and he almost pointed to Xiao Miao's nose and scolded.
And the most radical reaction was to lead troops to garrison Nanyang and spy on Yang Daosheng, the king of the Song Dynasty in the eastern capital, he and Zhang Xiu are in-laws, and their position is similar to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu led the troops to the south and broke Lin Shihong, while he led the troops to the north and also occupied some counties and counties in Henan, and his merits cannot be compared with Zhang Xiu, but he is not lagging behind.
As soon as Zhang Xiu died, after Yang Daosheng heard about it, he was frightened, and then he was furious, and said to his confidants: "Xiao Mo is ruthless and unkind, how can we still be born and die for him and make contributions?" Shall he one day be displeased, and cut off our heads for all to see? ”
In November, Yang Daosheng, the king of the Song Dynasty, killed Zhang Xiaode, the deputy commander of the march, and Xiao Ci, the superintendent of the army, and raised troops to Nanyang.
And Dong Jingzhen was also anxious in Changsha, Zhang Xiu's subordinates were restless, some immediately went to Lin Shihong, some ran to Du Fuwei, and some simply made chaos on the spot, occupying the county and fighting against Dong Jingzhen.
And Su Hu'er, who occupied Yuanling, was not idle, recruiting and rebelling, and the heart of secession was clearly revealed, and in an instant, the army of the Southern Expedition had the tendency to fall apart.
And old ministers of the Sui family, such as Wang Renshou and Ning Changzhen, also centrifuged at this time, and Xiao Miao's rash actions finally caused extremely serious consequences.
In December, Li Pocai received an urgent report from Zhang Lun and others, and the rebel generals of Liang entered Hongnong to vote for the king of Han, and by the way, the news of Liang State was transmitted to Jindi.
Looking at the urgent report of Zhang Lun and others, Li Po was also dumbfounded, Xiao Milling, a fool, played a good hand of cards to a pulp, and at the same time let Li Po know that it was urgent to lead his troops into Kansai.
Damn, Li Tang is really God's illegitimate son?
