In November, because of Liu Yuan's army, Sima Teng's relentless pursuit and the development and growth of rebels in various places, Sima Hao, who had no bottom in his heart, once again held Emperor Huidi Sima Zhen hostage, and took Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and Sima Chi, the king of Yuzhang, to the hinterland of his forces, Chang'an, Guanzhong. Because it was in his own sphere of influence, Sima Hao once again had no scruples, and Sima Ying could be said to have completely lost power after the defeat, so less than a month after arriving in Chang'an, Sima Hao issued an edict in the name of Sima Zhen: Natural calamity Jin State, the heir of the mound Mo Ji. Chengdu Wang Ying is at ease with Chu Er, his political performance is lost, the four seas are disappointed, and he can't bear the weight, and he returns the king to the first.

After Sima Ying was deposed, he returned to the fiefdom. Sima Hao selected a hundred officials by himself, changed Qinzhou to Dingzhou, changed Yuan Yongxing, and took Sima Chi, the king of Yuzhang, as the emperor's younger brother. At the same time, Sima Shu asked Emperor Hui of Jin to issue an edict to make Sima Yue, who was far away in the East China Sea, the Taifu, and asked him to return to the dynasty to assist Sima Hao together.

After Sima Yue received the edict, he moved his mind again, the current Jin Dynasty is a mess, although Sima Hao is a monopoly on power, but his ability is limited, obviously unable to control the forces of the court, and Sima Yi hopes that Sima Yue will enter Beijing for the same reason, he urgently needs a capable person to curb the forces with him, and now there is indeed no other choice except the king of the East China Sea.

Sima Yue wanted to go to Chang'an, he had ups and downs this year, and finally nested in the East China Sea, and he couldn't help but say that he was wronged. So he called Feng Hang and put the edict inviting him to Beijing in front of him, Feng Hang just glanced at it, shook his head, and said two words, "inappropriate".

Feng Hang's reason is very simple, the last time Sima Yue sent troops, he didn't seize the fighter, and the battle that could obviously be won was finally defeated because of negligence, and he fled in embarrassment, after that battle, the East China Sea King's army was low, and once the East China Sea King had an accident in Beijing, they didn't even have the ability to protect him. And now the king of Hejian has a monopoly on power, holding a male army, and calling the king of the East China Sea into Beijing is nominally asking him to co-govern, but everyone can see that he is just using him, if the king of the East China Sea wants to seize power, there is bound to be a war, the army in the hands of the king of the river is large, and after a period of recuperation, the combat effectiveness is significantly higher than that of the king of the East China Sea, so the king of the East China Sea has no way to fight. And Sima Yue's own brother Sima Teng was busy dealing with Liu Yuan during this time, and he lost consecutive battles, and he didn't have time to take care of his brother, no matter from which point of view, Sima Yue went to Chang'an It was not a good choice.

Sima Yue is irritable, after all, he is old, if it drags on like this, I am afraid that there will be no day to enter the capital, if he has an accident, this effort made by An Donghai for many years will not be in vain? The king of the East China Sea was not reconciled, and called Wu Zheng, Wu Ke and Mr. Bu, who was still staying in the East China Sea, to discuss. Wu Ke was young and had been by the side of the King of the East China Sea for many years, so he knew Sima Yue's urgency to enter Luoyang, so he immediately said: "Why can't the prince go to Chang'an if he wants to?" He is willing to saddle the horse before and after the saddle, and is responsible for the safety of the prince. ”

Wu Zheng frowned and looked at his son, this kid has fought a lot, but in the end, he is young, impulsive is greater than reason, he blindly wants to rush forward, and he doesn't care about the overall situation at all. He glared at his son and said to the king of the East China Sea: "This capital is not able to enter, and it is understandable that the prince is in a hurry and humble, but he has been waiting for so many years, so why wait?" Isn't it good to wait until we regroup and grow our power to take the throne in one fell swoop? ”

Mr. Bu nodded approvingly and said, "What General Wu said is extremely true. The prince can't help but fail again, so it's better to be safe and prepare for some more time, and don't say that he is the king of the river, I'm afraid that Liu Yuan is not necessarily the opponent of the prince. ”

Wu Ke sneered disdainfully when he heard this, he didn't have any dissatisfaction with Mr. Bu, but now that they were discussing military affairs, he didn't think that a trader would know what a fighter was, let alone that he would understand the ambition of the East China Sea King. The merchant has always been profitable, and he is holding the king of the East China Sea like this because he believes that he is not a fish in the pond, and once he becomes emperor in the future, he can obtain huge benefits from it. How can such speculators be compared to those who were born and died, who really came out of the pile of the dead? How dare you make a big deal out of this?

"If I remember correctly," Wu Ke said coldly, "Then Liu Yuan is Mr. Bu's in-laws." ”

Sima Yue frowned when he heard this, and Wu Zheng yelled at his son: "Don't be rude! ”

Mr. Bu didn't mind, but said lightly: "It's a Hun after all." ”

"Isn't your son-in-law a Huns?" Wu Ke ignored his father's angry expression and continued: "You may not have known that Liu Yao was a Hun back then, right? Didn't you marry your daughter to him yet? Besides, I heard that you, a virtuous son-in-law, who is both civil and military, used to serve in Liu Yuan's army, and his performance has always been quite outstanding, and the world calls him a young hero. When he left the East China Sea this time, he also went to his father, right? Liu Yuan has been fighting with Dongying Gong, but he has not taken our prince seriously at all. ”

Mr. Bu looked at Wu Ke and asked faintly, "Is this saying that I am suspected of collaborating with the enemy?" ”

Wu Ke didn't speak, Wu Zheng saluted Mr. Bu first, and said: "The dog is ignorant, he collided with Mr., and please forgive him regardless of the villain." ”

"If my father thinks what I said is wrong, he interrupted me just now, and you didn't say a word, don't you agree with me?" Wu Ke said unrelentingly, seeing that his father was so angry that his face turned red, he still didn't care, and saluted the king of the East China Sea again, saying, "Does the prince think I'm at fault?" ”

"Arrogance." Wu Zheng kicked Wu Ke, kicked him to the ground, and then knelt in front of the King of the East China Sea, and said in fear: "The dog has no form, and I ask the prince to give him a sin." ”

The king of the East China Sea glanced at a room of people and ordered someone to take Wu Ke down and beat him with twenty military sticks. He walked to Mr. Bu and apologized personally: "This child is a little arrogant because I look at the earth and am a little arrogant, please don't mind Mr." ”

"Don't dare," Mr. Bu lowered his head and said: "Actually, what the little general said is good, I do have a relationship with the Huns, and I don't understand the war, so it is not appropriate to talk nonsense here and disturb the prince's thoughts. ”

Sima Yue was stunned, but he didn't know what to do. Mr. Bu's business is doing well, he is extremely generous to Sima Yue, which time he came to the East China Sea with a lot of silver, he took so much money to support himself, if it is ridiculous to say that he has a second heart, and although this Mr. Bu is not a figure in the Central Plains, he has a very good relationship with Goguryeo, and he has an excellent relationship with several powerful princes over there. Although the quality of Goguryeo's soldiers is not good, as reinforcements, it is better than nothing.

Wu Zheng secretly scolded his son's stupidity in his heart, last time Sima Yue went to fight Sima Ying and returned defeated, he didn't blame it on his lips, but he was not angry with the Wu family father and son in his heart, Wu Zheng is still good to say, he has followed Sima Yue for decades, and now he is old, and he is not as flexible as when he was young on the battlefield, and he can still forgive, and the army led by Wu Ke was beaten to pieces at that time, and nearly 20,000 men and horses came back with more than 2,000 people. But the reason for the defeat was that Sima Yue himself believed the wrong person, so he didn't say much about Wu Ke's mistakes. After returning to the East China Sea, Sima Yue wanted to rectify military discipline, but this Wu Ke was very arrogant and arrogant, and he did not say anything in private that the King of the East China Sea relied on their father and son, Sima Yue had endured it for a long time, and he was angry that Wu Zheng couldn't control his son, this beating was a small punishment and a big commandment, if Wu Ke did not restrain himself, before sending troops to Chang'an, the King of the East China Sea would probably have to purge the Wu family first.

At this time, he hurriedly approached Mr. Bu, took a deep look, and said: "Mr. Bu said this, but it can be a pain in the old man's remarks, the dog's arrogance is caused by the old man's lax teaching, and the old man should make amends to you for his son." Please don't mind sir, when this animal has passed the military law, I will deal with his family law and send it to Mr. to personally make amends. ”

Mr. Bu's face loosened a little, and he pulled up Wu Zheng with his own hands, and said, "The old general doesn't have to be like this, I don't have a reason to worry about the juniors." ”

Feng Hang looked at all this coldly, hooked the corners of his mouth at this time, saluted the king of the East China Sea, and said: "The prince's people can bend and stretch, and they are all dedicated to helping you, according to what I see, you will succeed in the future." ”

Sima Yue nodded and said, "In this case, I will go back to the imperial court." In the coming days, please join me to strengthen the prestige of the Eastern Navy, and then enter Luoyang in the future. ”

After sending Wu Zheng and Mr. Bu away, the King of the East China Sea sat in a wide chair and asked Feng Hangdao, "I wonder when General Yang will come to my East China Sea?" ”

"In about a month, they will be able to reach Tarzan." Feng Hang said: "When Mr. Yang is buried, he will go directly to the East China Sea to meet the prince, and I have great hopes for him?" ”

"He's a talent, too." The King of the East Sea frowned and said, "But it's not a credible person." ”

"Whether he is trustworthy or not is another story, but the prince should always know how to envelop him." Feng Hang said: "Yang Ting is my old friend, and I can also be called to know him, the reason why he betrayed the king of Changsha is nothing more than because he feels that the king of Changsha can't win the battle, since the king of Changsha can't provide him with security, he chooses a new backer, that's all." People always have weaknesses, it depends on how the prince uses people. ”

"This person has a vicious eye?" The East Sea King asked.

Feng Hang pouted: "At least he knows who can bring him what he wants." Although the little general's words are rough, the meaning is good, Mr. Bu is a businessman, and he naturally defects to you because it is profitable, and he supports you naturally because he will have greater profits in the future. In fact, everyone in the world, who can not be selfish? ”

The king of the East China Sea understood what Feng Hang meant, Yang Ting betrayed the old master several times, it was nothing more than wanting to climb higher, as long as he gave him what he wanted, he was not afraid that he would not give you a hard time, as for whether his eyes were vicious, Sima Yue just felt that since this person could take a fancy to himself, it must be because he had something extraordinary. Take advantage of each other, indeed.

"Now that he is worried about his father, he can't go back to his position in the court for the time being," the king of the East China Sea asked, "If he comes to the East China Sea to join me, what position does Mr. Feng think I should give him?" ”

"Don't worry," Feng Hang smiled: "For the son of man, he should be filial to his father, as for the future, let's talk about it later." ”
