Chapter 853: A Void (4)
"Dashuai, you look for me."
Huang Zhiwen walked into the study and bowed.
Huang Baichuan chuckled: "There are no outsiders here, no need to be polite, sit down." ”
After Huang Zhiwen sat down, Huang Baichuan said softly: "Chu Huan has been escorted to Fengjing and handed over to the imperial court for questioning, and the emperor should give a fair trial." ”
Huang Zhiwen nodded and said: "The sins you have created should be borne by yourself, and the handsome don't have to worry about him." ”
Huang Baichuan finally didn't bear to execute Chu Huan, but sent him to Fengjing and handed it over to the court for questioning, if he was sentenced to death, it would be his Chu Huan's own fault, and he couldn't complain about others, saying so, but now, Huang Baichuan took the initiative to attack and was the key figure in this war, and the court was relying on him, so there is a high probability that the court would not easily offend Huang Baichuan for a small assassination, and Chu Huan's life was still kept.
In this regard, Huang Zhiwen was not dissatisfied with what Huang Baichuan did, after all, people are not animals, they have feelings if they are people, and Huang Baichuan did everything possible to leave Chu Huan's life, which is also human nature.
"Zhiwen, now that we have easily taken Yizhou, Cheng Xisi still doesn't know the truth, at this time, we take advantage of the victory to pursue, kill him from behind, we will definitely be able to catch him off guard, I don't understand, why do you want to dissuade him, you have to delay for half a day?"
Huang Baichuan turned to the topic.
War is a continuation of politics, and a war without any political benefit is a waste of effort and makes people unmotivated.
The imperial court ordered Caizhou Jiedu to make Huang Baichuan and Chuzhou Jiedu to make Wang Huailie send troops to quell the rebellion, both of them were ordered to send troops, the starting point was the same, but their thoughts were very different.
Wang Huailie's mind is very simple, Yang Feng Yin is violated, work is not contributive, if the court has the upper hand, then take advantage of the situation to push, icing on the cake, and take credit, if Cheng Xihei has the upper hand, then watch the fire fight from the other side, and do not move, so in Wang Huailie's view, this dispatch of troops is like doing business, there is no risk, and there is no loss.
And Huang Baichuan's mind is the same as Wang Huailie's, there are the same places, there are also different places, the same place is that if the imperial court has the upper hand, Huang Baichuan will also choose the same way, take advantage of the situation to push, icing on the cake, and take credit, the difference is that if Cheng Xisi has the upper hand, Huang Baichuan will lead the largest force that can be mobilized, immediately launch an attack from behind, and attack Cheng Xisi in an all-round way.
This is a plan that Huang Zhiwen and Huang Baichuan have long made.
What is Huang Baichuan doing this? Naturally, it is for fame, merit, as long as you have the opportunity, you are willing to work hard, you will always get it, but fame is not so easy to obtain.
Huang Baichuan was born in the White Turban Army, he was not only a rich and high-ranking official because of this identity, but also because of this identity, he was burdened with a stain and was excluded and despised by everyone, in fact, Huang Baichuan has been very closed and isolated in Caizhou for so many years.
Huang Baichuan is a person with ambition and ambition, he has always wanted to change this situation, Chengping five years of Jiangnan War, he took such a big risk and joined the rebel court, is to use the power of Yang Liecheng and others to force the court to compromise, for himself to strive for greater development space and freedom.
But after a war, all dreams were finally empty, and although Huang Baichuan succeeded in self-protection in the end, the entire Jiangnan situation has changed greatly.
In the Jiangnan region, the three most powerful jiedu envoys, Yue and Ejiedu made Yang Liecheng defeated and killed, and the deputy envoy of Jiangnan Jiedu, Hong, Jiang Jiedu made Zhao Bo'an was suspicious of the emperor Zhao Zhi, after the end of the war, the military power was weakened step by step, and many of his generals were transferred out of the Jiangnan area.
And Wang Huailie, who sat in Huainan, after losing Yang Liecheng and Zhao Baian, the two counterbalance opponents, began to dominate and became the strongest Jiedu envoy in the entire Jiangnan region, and it was far superior to others.
In this way, Huang Baichuan of Caizhou, which is adjacent to Chuzhou, his mood and situation can be imagined.
In fact, the imperial court left Huang Baichuan in order to check and balance and guard against Wang Huailie, which did play an effective role, but there is a premise in this, that is, the imperial court has enough strength, so that the local festival makes the feudal town dare not mess around, Zhao Zhi's dynasty, the military achievements are outstanding, the two Longyou wars have won great victories one after another, recovering a large area of the homeland, and the military power is famous for a while.
In this environment, don't say Wang Huailie, all the local festivals in the world envoy towns, which one does not have a strong sense of awe and jealousy for the imperial court?
Therefore, Huang Baichuan in this period, his role in Caizhou was very obvious, so that Wang Huailie did not dare to make the slightest move.
But at this time, after Zhao Zhi's death, Zhao Xun, the new successor, had insufficient control over the government and was never able to completely stabilize the entire political situation.
Recently, Wang Huailie has acted frequently, frequently creating contradictions between Chuzhou and Caizhou, which is obviously deliberate, and at the same time exposes Wang Huailie's attitude towards Huang Baichuan, that is, he wants to get rid of it quickly, if it is not for Huang Baichuan to always maintain maximum restraint, and after Zhao Bai'an came to Jiangnan, he stayed for a long time, his prestige in the Jiangnan region is huge, and he has a strong appeal, these external factors have caused Wang Huailie to be jealous, so he did not take greater action, but Huang Baichuan understands very well that this is only temporary, once the overall situation changes, the first thing Wang Huailie wants to clean up is definitely himself, which makes Huang Baichuan feel very heavy and nervous.
Huang Zhiwen has been warning Huang Baichuan that Caizhou is not a place to stand, and if you want to make a difference, you must find a new space.
But for Huang Baichuan, the imperial court let them keep it, just out of consideration of the current situation, and its fundamental point has always maintained strong suspicion and suppression, under such a premise, Huang Baichuan did not say that it was not easy to change places and protect himself.
But now, here's the opportunity.
The relationship between the imperial court and the local feudal towns was actually very contradictory, the two sides were suspicious of each other, fought and even broke out into war, and at the same time, with the needs and changes of the current situation, the two sides often united and used each other.
