Chapter 938: Wanyan Zonggan's Choice (Page 1/1)

There is a saying in conspiracy theories that whoever is the biggest beneficiary of a murder is the murderer.

A conspiracy theory is a derivation of skepticism, a conjecture without any evidence, and what happened in Jinguojungdu and Ulju is also consistent with this statement.

In the Kingdom of Jin, there are only two groups of people who stand on the opposite side of Jin Taizu's Wanyan Aguta's sons, that is, Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng, as well as Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin.

The biggest contradiction between these three groups of people is the battle for the throne, and now two of Wanyan Aguta's sons suddenly died violently, they are not only the generals of the army, but also have relatively high inheritance rights, so the spearhead is naturally pointed at the emperor Jin Taizong and Wanyan Zonghan and others.

Wanyan Aguda has sixteen sons, the most outstanding of which are Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Zongwang, the two of them are also the successors to the throne recognized by many nobles in many Jin countries, but Wanyan Zonggan is born as a concubine, and is inferior to the second prince Wanyan Zongwang in the order of several people.

After the news of the violent death of the two leading generals was transmitted back to Shangjing of the Jin Kingdom, many tribal patriarchs and nobles were passionate, because no one thought that Wanyan Zongwang died of a minor illness such as heat stroke, and this reason was too absurd.

And at this moment, several urgent military reports also came back to Shangjing: the imperial army on the front line took advantage of the death of the two generals of the Jin State to attack on all fronts!

After several wars with the Central Plains Empire, the Jin people had recognized that the Chinese Empire was a powerful country that could be compared with their own country, so when they learned that the foreign enemy was coming, the ministers and nobles who were forcing Jin Taizong and others to investigate the murderer could only put aside the matter for the time being and urged the imperial court to go to the south to defend against the enemy.

Jin Taizong did not delay, and immediately sent the patriarch of the Qishui tribe, the general of the young army, Wanyan Lou. Not long ago, Wanyan Chang, who was defeated by the imperial army and broke through the Yellow River defense line, and there is also Wanyan Zongjun, the sixth son of Wanyan Aguta.

The three of them led 50,000 Jin elite cavalry and 150,000 Liao Han to sign an army, and quickly went to the front line in the south for reinforcements.

In fact, Li Nan and his imperial army did not move at all at this time, the so-called urgent military report, and the news of the all-out attack of the imperial army were just small tricks played by Jin Taizong and others.

Jin Taizong and others had long expected that the deaths of Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongjie would inevitably cause an uproar, and as long as the indignation of other people could be suppressed in the early stage, then they could slowly try to figure it out, so the Chinese Empire and Li Nan in the south became the best excuse.

The most important purpose of the three Jin generals sent this time was not to reinforce them, but to take away the military power of Yan Zongwang and others.

In order to fear that many soldiers of the Wanyan tribe would not obey the order, Jin Taizong also deliberately selected Wanyan Zongjun, who had long been loyal to him, to go to the southern front.

You must know that Wanyan Zongjun is the sixth son of Wanyan Aguta, and he is also the younger brother of Wanyan Zongwang, and it is only appropriate for him to take away Wanyan's soldiers and horses.

Jin Taizong and the others' plan is perfect, but others are not fools, such as Wanyan Zonggan, who is leading 200,000 Jin soldiers to garrison Datong Mansion.

When the news of the death of the two brothers reached the ears of Wanyan Zonggan, as the prime minister of Jin Guoguo, he immediately guessed that this was the poisonous hand of Jin Taizong and others, but he didn't know how to face this matter.

At present, Wanyan Zonggan has two choices.

With his prestige, he can now collect Ulzhou and Zhongdu, the 300,000 elite troops left by the death of his two younger brothers, plus the 200,000 soldiers under his command, this has exceeded half of the strength of the Jin State, and he can completely move his army north to kill those murderers who killed his own brothers.

As long as he kills his uncle, Jin Taizong finishes Yan Sheng, and now Wanyan Zongwang has been killed, he is 80% sure that he can ascend the throne and become the emperor of Jin.

However, the disadvantages of this move are also considerable.

If the 500,000 troops guarding the front line move lightly, then the imperial army on the opposite side will inevitably take advantage of the situation to attack, and in the end, even if it can withstand the peak of the empire, no one can estimate how much loss the Jin country will suffer.

Moreover, the family, friends, and clansmen left by Wanyan Zonggan and his subordinates in Shangjing may also be wiped out by Jin Taizong.

If you pretend not to know, then the military power will definitely be taken away by Jin Taizong.

Wanyan Zonggan, who followed his father Rongma for half his life, knew that a general without military power was a toothless tiger, and if he really came to this point, he could already imagine his miserable life in the future.

Just when Wanyan Zonggan was in a dilemma, a letter appeared strangely on the table of his handsome tent.

Seeing the signature on the envelope, Wanyan Zonggan was taken aback, and after looking around the tent and seeing that no one was paying attention, he hurriedly blasted out the Han maid who was serving him.

Wanyan Zonggan opened this letter, read it carefully, and found that it was a letter of persuasion written by Li Nan, the emperor of the Chinese Empire.

In the letter, Li Nan gave Wanyan Zonggan two choices, one was to encourage him to go north to avenge his brother's hatred, and the empire would also give him food and grass supplies that could supply an army of 500,000 on the condition that he ceded all the territory south of Changbai Mountain.

The second proposal given by Li Nan was that Wanyan Zonggan would lead his troops to the vast Mongols in the southwest, and the empire would fund him to fight against Jin Taizong.

I have to say that both of Li Nan's proposals have a strong attraction to Wanyan Zonggan.

Now that the imperial army has taken control of the area around Hejian Province, it is less than a thousand miles north to reach the territory of the Jin Kingdom mentioned in the letter, and he can still get the remaining 20,000 li of mountains and rivers.

Even if he didn't counterattack Shangjing, according to what Li Nan said, he would directly develop to the Mongolian area, and with the wisdom of Wanyan Zonggan and the 500,000 army under his command, he could completely conquer those Mongolian tribes and create a bigger country.

After burning Li Nan's secret letter, Wanyan Zonggan stayed in the tent for three days and three nights, and finally he finally made a decision.

Listening to all kinds of information about Wanyan Zonggan from the secret spy from Datong Mansion, especially the actions he made after he walked out of the tent, Li Nan couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Wanyan Zonggan's decision was not that Li Nan wanted him to choose those two paths, it seemed that he had decided to give in.

In fact, Li Nan understands which choice Yan Zonggan makes, if he rebels, it will be for the sake of brotherhood and his own future.

And now he has chosen to give in, which means that he looks at the big situation, does not want to split and destroy the Jin Kingdom created by his father, and is willing to bear the pain of all this.

"It's not easy for everyone!" Li Nan sighed, and then ordered: "Go and prepare a generous gift, although I am an enemy with Yan Zongwang, but he is worthy of admiration." Now that these people have died tragically at the hands of their relatives, it is really sad and inexplicable, so send someone to pay tribute. ”
