Chapter 20: Secret Deliberations in the Cave
"Zhao Pu Mixin said that there are rumors in Changsha officialdom that next month, on the birthday banquet of the king, my second brother Ma Guangliang will be appointed as the prince of the king, and the king of Chu has sent Gao to Jingnan to send me to Changsha to celebrate the birthday banquet. //. 78 free e-book download // Gentlemen, do you think I should go to Changsha. In the study of the Jingnan Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Ma Yun said indifferently to Li Xiang, Fan Zhen and others.
While sending the secret letter, Zhao Pu also sent a suggestion: participate in the Changsha birthday banquet and wait for the opportunity to win the throne. As for how to capture him, he did not say it explicitly, but said that since the fall of Ma Xiguang, Peng Shigao and Zhao Pu have secretly operated in the army, and have lobbied for some officers. At the moment, the two tigers are competing, and this part of the people will naturally be on our side. Once the prince is established and the name is determined, I am afraid that these people will be in the twilight of Qin and Chu, and they will no longer be used by Jingnan.
The trouble was serious, and Ma Yun cautiously invited Li Xiang and others to hear their opinions.
Fan Zhen's expression darkened, and he hesitated for a moment before he said, "The prince can't go." If the king really wants to make the second prince the prince, the prince will not only be useless, but will be in danger. If the king has no intention of establishing a son, we naturally don't have to pay attention to this rumor. ”
Li Xiang on the side laughed and said: "Mr. Fan is right, this big birthday banquet was proposed by Li Gao, and this Lishizi must also be the rumor released by the second prince and their party." In doing so, they clearly wanted to set a trap. At present, the prince supports the army in Jingnan, the soldiers are full of food, the fourth master of Ma supports the army in Langzhou, there is the danger of lakes and mountains enough to defend himself, if the second prince inherits the throne of Chu in the future, there are us and Langzhou, it is estimated that he will not be able to sleep. Therefore, they deliberately set up such a bureau to frame you and Ma Siye to Changsha, and then use high-ranking officials to detain Changsha, so that they can sit back and relax. This can be seen from their strong advocacy of transferring Peng Shigao to Changsha City. If the prince shirks Jingnan's busy affairs, the king will surely understand. ”
Fan Zhen said this, Wu Banlian nodded, and Ma Yun seemed to be a little hesitant in his expression.
Li Gao took a sip of tea, changed his words, and continued: "Compared with the second prince, the biggest disadvantage of the prince is that you are far away in Jingnan, but he is in Changsha, and the building near the water is the first to get the moon, whether it is to find out the heart of the king of Chu, or to win over the officials of the Chu State, or to rectify the internal army, or to control the internal army, it is much more convenient than the prince. At present, most officials are still neutral, but they feel that the prince still has the power to fight back, and they are afraid that they are on the wrong side. Zhou Tinghui's case was reported, Ma Wuye fell, and now in Changsha City, no one has the ability to contain the second prince. After a long time, the king of Chu has made up his mind, and the internal army is controlled by him, so the courtiers are estimated to fall to him one after another, and by that time, even if he is not the prince, it will be almost the same. The prince is completely passive. "Judging from the current situation, the prince wants to be the prince and the king of Chu. There are two ways, one is to move the king of Chu and let the king himself make the prince the prince; Second, it is to unite with Ma Siye, and after a hundred years of the king, send troops together to conquer Changsha and take back the throne by force. The king's personality is hesitant, if he hesitates for another year and a half, when the political situation in Changsha is in the hands of the second prince, even if the king wants to make the prince the prince, he is more than willing to do it. This second one, the war is chaotic, the smoke of gunpowder is billowing in Jinghu, our army is fine, and the second prince has many soldiers, if we can't quickly defeat the second prince, once Li Tang intervenes, we will inevitably become a wedding dress for others, and it will be too late to regret it. ”
"From this point of view, although Li Gao and the others have set a trap now, it is not an opportunity for the prince. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that after Zhou Tinghui's case, the king of Chu was furious, and his trust in his brother was probably greatly reduced, and he would only set up a son if he wanted to establish a son, and would not consider his brother anymore. In this way, only the second prince and you are the most qualified. If something happens to the second prince, such as rebellion, or... made the king deeply sad, in this way, wouldn't the king have no choice? Li Xiang said gloomily.
Li Xiang said again: "Peng Shigao entered Changsha City and controlled the East Gate, this is Li Gao They want to appease the prince, for fear that you will not come." But this move is also extremely stupid, Peng Shigao enters Changsha, the safety of the prince is guaranteed, and at a critical time, he can even transfer Jingnan soldiers into Changsha City. ”
This move was a bit risky, and Fan Zhen and Wu Ban opposed it one after another.
Ma Yun secretly calculated in his heart, at the moment, the most lacking thing for him is time. Others don't know that Jack Ma is a traverser. Although I don't remember a few celebrities, the Great Jin Dynasty is about to end, and the Han Dynasty that replaced the Jin Dynasty has not existed for a few years. Therefore, the time to seize the prince cannot be delayed any longer, this time he must enter Changsha City, and he still has a trick to spare, at the critical moment, maybe he can reverse the situation and defeat Ma Guangliang in one fell swoop.
Ma Yun comforted Fan Zhen and others a few words, and determined the plan to enter Changsha City. After Gao Jin passed on the edict of the King of Chu, Ma Yun packed up and asked Cao Bin to take 300 people from the Tiger Ben Army as an escort, set off from Jiangling, crossed the public security, and went straight to Dongting Lake, ready to take a boat, take it to Wangcheng County, and enter Changsha.
--------------- had just arrived at Jin'an Town by Dongting Lake on this day, Cao Bin came to the carriage where Ma Yun was sitting and reported: "Lord Wang, someone sent an invitation in front. ”
This time I went to Changsha, because Ziying was pregnant, Ma Yun left his wives and concubines in Jingnan. This way in the carriage, he was also very bored, I heard that someone sent an invitation, Ma Yun hurriedly lifted the curtain, jumped off the carriage, entered the invitation and saw that it was actually his fourth uncle, Wu'an (Langzhou) Jiedu made Ma Xicao to send it, he asked himself to go to Dongting Lake for a gathering.
Ma Yun smiled secretly in his heart, finally came. If you don't come today, I'll have to stay here for the night, waiting for you. The king of Chu held a banquet to celebrate his birthday, except for Ma Xiyin, the envoy of the Jingjiang army who was tired of dealing with Liu Han's disturbance, the other children of the Ma clan who were outside were basically recalled to Changsha. The second brother Ma Guangliang has a great appetite and wants to take down all the people who are a threat to him in one fell swoop.
Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong. This is not a forty or fifty birthday, but it looks like the whole world is celebrating, it is nothing more than wanting to detain Ma Yun and Ma Xicao, who are holding heavy troops outside, in Changsha. As for Ma Xiyin who slipped through the net, Ma Guangliang is not afraid at all, first of all, this Ma Xiyin is honest, and once again, the Jingjiang army is small in number and weak, otherwise it will not be pressed and beaten by Liu Han. What's more, with Li Jie, the supervising army, and the two internal armies, he is not afraid of what waves he Ma Xiyin can make. Li Gao's trap Ma Yun can see it, and the ambitious Ma Xicao must also see it.
And this trap, to put it bluntly, is completely aimed at Ma Xicao and Ma Yun. In this case, it is strange that Ma Xicao does not talk to Ma Yun and take joint action.
Ma Yun instructed Cao Bin to prepare a ship to the south, and he took Li Ergou and a few other guards, and Xinma came to Dongting Lake, the place agreed by Ma Xixu.
Spring comes very early in the south, with the sparkling waves of Dongting Lake in the distance and the reeds swaying in the wind nearby. Ma Yun turned over and dismounted, took two steps, bowed down and said, "Fourth uncle, I haven't seen you for a year, and I have always been in good health." ”
Ma Xicao also had a smile on his face, he helped Ma Yun up, and said, "Yun'er, you have made my uncle and me war." The battle of Nanping can make our Chu country breathe a bad breath. Liu Yan, the Langzhou magistrate who followed Ma Xixu, also came over to pay his respects.
Ma Yun was slightly modest, and the two warmly expressed condolences and family affection.
On the riverside of Dongting Lake, there is actually a small pavilion, and the two of them sat down in the pavilion. Liu Yan on the side said: "Five princes, Ming people don't say dark words. Today, Ma Jiedu came to Dongting to meet the prince, which was not a coincidence. Right now, Li Gao designed and mobilized the children of the Ma clan to enter Changsha to celebrate the birthday of the king. What idea they have in their hearts, the prince must know in his heart. ”
Ma Yun glanced at Liu Yan, was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's nothing more than wanting to detain us in Changsha." I won't repatriate again. ”
Ma Xicao was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Yun'er, since you know, why do you bother to throw yourself... Go and put yourself in danger. He wanted to say that he had thrown himself into the net, but he thought it was not suitable, so he changed his tune.
Ma Yun smiled indifferently and said: "The current situation is changing too fast, the second brother's strength has increased greatly, and the little nephew is disheartened. ”
Ma Xicao glanced at Ma Yun differently, this guy is less than twenty, so he said what to resign and go into hiding. Liu Yan didn't believe in his heart that Ma Yun wanted to retire honorably at a young age. He said: "If you want to talk about the second prince, he has been going a lot smoother recently. Since the fall of the fifth master, the second prince is high-spirited and unstoppable. Xia Guan thought that the prince went to Changsha and bowed his head to ask the second prince for peace, even if he could keep peace for a while. In the future, once the king dies, even if the prince wants to be a rich man, I am afraid he will not be able to do it. ”
Ma Yun seemed to have been detected by Liu Yan, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "What does Lord Liu mean by this?" ”
"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. The prince's merits are high, and if he reconciles with the second prince now, the second prince will naturally be overjoyed, but after the second prince becomes the king of Chu, the prince has no reward for his merits, plus Li Gao and others have added fuel to the fire, and it is too late to regret it. ”
It seems that this Liu Yan thought that Ma Yun was going to fall to Ma Guangliang.
