Wang Yun designed to seize the military power of Xu Qiong in Yiyang City, and escorted Xu Qiong to Changsha At the same time, Ma Xixu, who was far away in Langzhou, got the news of Ma Yun's successful coup.

As soon as he got the news, Ma Xixu hurriedly invited his own Xi think tank-Liu Yan. Liu Yan pondered for a long time before staring at Ma Xicao and said sincerely: "My lord, the lower officials look at today's Changsha decrees, which are varied and seem messy, but they are sophisticated and have firmly grasped the hearts of the officials and the people. The first edict on the day of the king's birthday was to canonize the five princes as the princes, and the edict was that the identity of the monarch and the minister had been determined, and the name and righteousness belonged to the five princes. Later, the second edict was a punishment for Ma Guangliang's party, one was covered with a heavy treason hat, the second prince was imprisoned, Li Gao, Li Jie, Xu Qiong and other backbone elements were completely killed, the rest were pardoned, and everyone praised the benevolence of the five princes; Then it was to rebuild the official position of the kingdom, and the Tiance Academy, which used to be high and powerful, but had no division of responsibilities and powers, completely became a title, and re-established official titles such as Xiangguo and Shangshu. Although the high-ranking officials of the six ministries have already been selected, there are as many large and small official positions below as a carp crossing the river, which is enough to appease the hundred officials. Next, the king of Chu ordered that a big competition be held in Changsha in June, imitating the imperial examination system of the Central Plains. In the past, those who had knowledge, but no background, and no one recommended them to read, immediately returned to the side of the five princes. In the end, the king also ordered the deposition of Shumi's government and other unpopular tyranny, and the people also praised and praised the king of Chu, but in fact they were secretly grateful to the five princes. This provincial decree came down, but in exchange for the rough peace inside and outside Jinghu Lake. Hey, it's come to this point, and if you still want to do something, it's going to be difficult. ”

After getting the news of Ma Yun's coup, Ma Xicao was surprised and happy. was shocked that Ma Yun was really a master of art and bold, how to see that he was at a disadvantage as soon as he entered Changsha, but he didn't expect to survive in a desperate situation, and he won a lot of money with a desperate blow. The joy is that Ma Yun can succeed if he is so reckless, he has been planning in Langzhou for many years, how can he give it up at this time.

But Liu Yandi sat down, like a basin of cold water poured in his face, he felt that Liu Yandi's analysis made some sense, but he was not willing to give up like this, and his expression was quite hesitant.

Liu Yan has followed Ma Xicao for many years, and seeing his eyes wandering, his hands constantly groping for the blue and white teacup, he knows that this Ma Jiedu is full of unwillingness. Liu Yan sighed and said, "My lord, do you think that the fifth prince is a temporary counterattack in Changsha, and he was lucky enough to succeed?" ”

Ma Xixu glanced up at Liu Yan, although he didn't speak, but his expression revealed his inner thoughts at a glance - isn't this what it looks like?

Liu Yan shook his head slowly, and then said: "Actually, by Dongting Lake, I saw that the fifth prince had a gloomy face and a gloomy expression, and I thought that he was really unprepared, or he pinned all his hopes on Langzhou. However, looking at the actions of the five princes now, it can only show that I can see that he is hiding too deeply and has deceived us. The coup d'Γ©tat in Changsha was definitely not a temporary move as a last resort, but a premeditated action of the five princes. Li Gao is dead, Xu Qiong is dead, but Xu Zhongya, whose status on the second prince's side is not lower than these two people, has to be a high-ranking official, and the horse is ridden, what does this mean? It shows that this Xu Zhongya is a chess piece hidden next to the second prince, with this chess piece, the second prince has all the plans, how can the fifth prince not know? In this case, the fifth prince still dares to go to Changsha, is he really just afraid of the king's anger? Apparently not ground. ”

Ma Xicao's eyes flashed, and his hands couldn't help but clasp the teacup.

Liu Yan continued: "Actually, the second prince and we are wrong. What is the Inner Army? How could it be that with the edict of the Great King, the fox and the tiger could be completely controlled by the internal army for a few days? The king has always used the technique of balance to control the internal army, look at the generals of the inner army, Wang Yun is loyal, he may not be the king of Chu, but he must be loyal to the royal family; Peng Shigao is a native of the fifth prince, Xu Qiong is a native of the second prince, and Liu Yantao and Liu Quanming are old people who are familiar with the king. Therefore, Zhou Ting's case, the fifth master of the powerful land Ma can only be arrested. It's not that the fifth master is not courageous, it's that the fifth master is smart. The king misses the old, and the corrupt party will not ask for the life of the fifth master, if he raises troops to rebel, it will be his own death. After the fall of the fifth master, the second prince must have felt that it was not easy to control the internal army, so he sent the two most thorny Liu Yantao army and Liu Quanming's army to Lingnan. As soon as these two thorns go, it will be an opportunity for the second prince, and it will be even more an opportunity for the fifth prince who is far away in Jingnan. The fifth prince grew up in Tiance Mansion since he was a child, and he was already very familiar with the generals of the internal army, so it was easy to pull those people over. But the fifth prince has a shortcoming - he is far away in Jingnan and has little influence on the political situation in Changsha, and after a long time, those people may be shaken. Therefore, the fifth prince set a trap, except for Peng Shigao, he must have secretly ordered his people to listen to the words of the second prince, which created an illusion for the second prince - the internal army is already under control. So, the second prince couldn't wait to design a Xindi trap, he wanted to calculate whether he had a heart or not, Kuang Wu Wang Ye entered Changsha, and then imprisoned him. It's a pity that this plan is completely in the hands of the five princes. ”

Ma Xicao was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "But why is Guangliang in such a hurry? Why not wait another two years? ”

Liu Yan sneered: "My lord, he can't wait, the second prince." The situation in Jingnan is different from our Langzhou, although we are the envoy of Wu'an Jiedu, but the appointment of officials is still from the order of the king of Chu. But Jingnan is not, the local officials there are all Ma Yun's hands. Ma Yun is already a big tail in Jingnan, and in another two years, Jingnan's strength will increase, and even if the king of Chu sets up the second prince as the prince, the five princes and adults will unite to oppose it, there is Peng Shi Tuoba Heng inside, and Jingnan is strong outside, and the second prince is afraid that he will not be able to sleep well. So, he couldn't wait. ”

Ma Xixu was silent.

Liu Yan looked at Ma Xicao, sighed slightly and said, "My lord, in the current situation, there are three ways for the officials to choose. ”

There are three ways? Ma Xicao was a little discouraged by Liu Yan's words, but suddenly heard that Liu Yan had three attentions, and couldn't help asking: "Lord Liu has something to say, but it's okay to say it." ”

"Is this the best policy? Adults can immediately write the above-mentioned Chu king, express their support for the five princes, and resign from above, asking to sue the old man to return to Changsha, the following officials look at it, the king values family affection, and the five princes also take care of the clan, so they will not embarrass the adults. ”

After saying this, Ma Xicao pulled the elder with an old face, although he was frightened, but it was not to the point of bowing his head and waiting to be slaughtered, Liu Yan's words made him very unhappy.

"Is this the right strategy? Naturally, they contacted the insight clan, and they were horns with each other, and they seized Langzhou, named Chuchen, but they did not obey their edicts. At present, Da Chu is coarse, and he is competing with the Han army in Lingnan, and the lower officials think that the five princes must have no time to take care of Langzhou. Adults in Langzhou are also temporarily worry-free. But once the five princes free their hands, Langzhou will inevitably be in danger. ”

Hearing this, Ma Xixu looked a little moved, but finally shook his head.

"This strategy is to collect the soldiers of the Wu'an Jiedu Embassy and encourage the people to go north. The five princes implemented the policy of increasing the number of township soldiers and elite soldiers in Jingnan, the number of regular troops was only 30,000, Ma Guangmeng brought 10,000 to Lingnan, and it is said that 10,000 people participated in the Changsha Incident, so now there are only 10,000 elites left in Jingnan, as well as 5ooo recruits in Zhu Yuan's training place stationed in Shi, and some township soldiers, who are soldiers in wartime and farmers in peacetime. The combat effectiveness of this village soldier is not strong. The whole Jingnan was unusually empty. The adults raised their troops and went north, maybe they could recover Jingnan, and the land crossed Jinglang, plus the danger of lakes and mountains, it was enough to defend themselves. Liu Yan also slowly said the next step.

Ma Xicao's eyes lit up, he held the teacup, stood up, walked around twice, paused, and asked: "Mr. Liu, someone persuaded me to go south with the whole army under the banner of King Qin, what do you think are the odds of victory?" ”

Liu Yan couldn't help but sigh again, since he is known as a think tank, he has naturally thought about this method of going south a hundred times, but after thinking about it, it is all a dead land. He smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, if you want to march into Changsha, you must go to Yiyang." Liao Renyong had already led 10,000 internal troops to garrison there. Once our army raises troops, the king's edict of rebellion will be issued. Yiyang's Wu County Order, although he was a subordinate of the lord in the past, he was the place where the king was promoted and appointed. Don't forget, our Wu'an Jiedu envoys are all appointed by the king, and some of them are nominally your subordinates. Once the army is trapped under the fortified city, the internal army comes from the south, Zhu Yuan comes down from the north, and the front and back are attacked, and it is difficult for our army to take care of the tail, and the defeat has been achieved, even the gods cannot be recovered. Your Majesty, this is the next step, and you must not use it. ”

Ma Xicao actually smiled rarely, and said: "Jingnan's troops are empty, and only Zhu Yuan's 5ooo men and horses can be mobilized. If we can mobilize Zhu Yuandi's soldiers and horses, won't our chances of victory be greatly increased? ”

Liu Yan understood what Ma Xicao meant. An important secret discussion between Ma Yun and Ma Xicao in Dongting Lake was that Ma Yun handed over the seal letter of his deputy envoy to Jingnan Jiedu to Ma Xicao, and when he was in an emergency, Ma Xicao was allowed to transfer Zhu Yuanbu. Right now, Ma Xicao must be using this seal to mobilize Zhu Yuan and plot to seize Zhu Yuan's military power.

Liu Yan looked at Ma Xicao with a little pity and asked, "I don't know how the adults are going to seize Zhu Yuan's military power?" Right now, we can get the secret report from Changsha, Zhu Yuan can't get the secret report from Changsha, since he knows that the fifth prince has succeeded in seizing the throne, how can he be easily fooled. ”

"He knows the secret report from Changsha, but he must not know that Xu Qiong has been killed, if we pretend that Xu Qiong has detected Ma Yundi's plan, and now he is leading the army back to Changsha. You say, will Zhu Yuan be eager to join forces with us and go out from Langzhou to pursue Xu Qiong? When the time comes, we will set up a banquet to entertain Zhu Yuan, kill him during the banquet, take away his soldiers, have no worries, how about going south with all our might? β€œ
