Wang Dun naturally refused to follow China, although Pei Gai gave the price code of "general, auxiliary general, envoy, governor of Jiangjing, Hunan and Guangzhou, and prince of Pengze County......

However, Wang Chuzhong was originally the general of Jinzhi Zhennan, the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, the governor Jiang Jingxiang Jiaoguang Wuzhou Zhujun, the Jiangzhou Assassin History, and the Marquis of Han Anhou (even higher in the same period of the original history), except for a slight increase in the title, it is impossible to be promoted in the position - in other words, the Hua Dynasty can't take it out, and it doesn't want to take out bigger peaches to lure him.

For Pei Gai, this is also unthinkable. When Sima Yan first received Zen, in order to reward the wealthy family who raised him to the throne, he juxtaposed the eight dukes in one breath, and then because of the turmoil for many years, the Luoyang court (including the later Chang'an court) was even more indiscriminately named knights, so they stole high positions, or suddenly rewarded the lords everywhere.

So in the end, the prime minister also came out, and the prime minister also came out...... After Sima Yue Bingzheng, he once asked for the removal of the marquis in the guard, who would have thought that all the military attaches in the palace had been made marquis, and the ones who came out were exhausted, so he had to send He Lun and Wang Bing to lead hundreds of soldiers from the East China Sea to actually stay in the guard. This kind of mess, although the Hua Dynasty is subject to Jin Chan, it is impossible to pinch his nose and follow it all.

For example, the price that the Hua Dynasty gave to Zhang Yu and Zhang Mao brothers may not exceed the glory of the Zhang family in the original history.

And it is bound to be impossible for Pei Gai to let their celebrities surpass Zu Li, Tao Kan, Pei Wei and others in order to restrain the separatist or semi-separatist forces, otherwise wouldn't it chill the hearts of the Chinese and Korean generals? The reason why he changed the grade system and many old names while reforming the imperial court structure and establishing new official offices was somewhat in response to this status quo - it is difficult for you to compare.

However, Pei should tie Wang Dun and Zhou Wan for the third place in martial arts, and the plus sign of Zhou Visit's argument is still above Wang Dun, so it can't help but say that there is a hidden evil intention.

Of course, although Wang Chuzhong is arrogant, he will not refuse Pei Gai's fake olive branch because of a slight setback in his position. The reason why he finally destroyed the book was naturally due to the relevant situation.

First, I am an important minister in Yu Jin, but I have little personal friendship with Pei Gai, and I have always been outside the Pei and Zu groups, and I have not contributed much to the Northern Expedition, so once I receive a Chinese position, I will definitely not be put into the center of power, and even gradually marginalized. The so-called "rather be a chicken's mouth, not a cow queen", this pride must be upheld. Because Wang Dun can't just think about his own family, he also needs to consider his family and subordinates, if I just have to stand aside in vain, can those people be left behind?

Second, the Chinese and Korean sides are concerned about Hebei, and they are powerless to stretch out their hands to the south of the Yangtze River, so it is not easy for the southern army to go north to compete with the Central Plains cavalry, and it should not be difficult to defend the river. After all, the north is undecided, no one can predict what the final outcome will be, Jiangnan may still have a chance for the Northern Expedition, even if it can't be done, it can also keep Sima Rui as Sun Quan.

At this ending, Pei Gai naturally foresaw it. In his heart, he planned to wait a few more years, and after completely pacifying the north, he would take advantage of the opportunity that Zu Ti and Zhou visited the number of people who were not high, annex their departments, and then build a new dynasty, so that they could destroy Shu in one fell swoop, and go straight down the river to Jiankang. It's just that the current situation has forced him to the point where he must usurp the throne in advance, so when the Yellow River Valley has not yet been decided, Sima Rui and Wang Dun have a great possibility of refusing to bow their heads and claim to be vassals.

Besides, as Pei Wei and others advised, if you don't rush to Jin, when that time comes, as soon as Jiangnan becomes a minister, my family will have no excuse to destroy it, I'm afraid that the land of Liuzhou will become a feudal vassal!

Anyway, I was fighting in the Central Plains, and I couldn't count on Jiangnan's support at all, so I didn't have to hinder it in many ways, because I chopped off their claws first. So even if Sima Rui and Wang Dun are not satisfied, resulting in the separation of the north and the south, with the current situation in the south of the Yangtze River, it is impossible to go north in a short period of time, and he is conservative, what is the difference between him and the original?

And when I settled in the north, I could clearly order to enter the discussion and send troops to pacify the Yangtze River Valley. At that time, the most corrupt class of scholars will be completely eradicated - because of the "difficulty of Yongjia", those who fled south, and when Luoyang is restored, such as the Langya Wang family, don't come back!

Although Pei Gai emotionally does not want to fight the battle of the Southern Expedition again, he hopes that the world can stabilize as soon as possible, and hopes that Sima Rui, Wang Dun and others will be willing to bow down; But intellectually, it is not very likely that one will take Jiangnan because of this, and the other is that even if it is collected, it will inevitably leave a big carbuncle, and I have to rack my brains to cut it slowly-it is better for you to disobey, so that I can plough the court in the future and change the customs.

——————————

Because of the distance, Wang Dun was the first to receive the Chinese envoy, he discussed with Qian Feng and others, and after pondering for a night, he immediately destroyed the edict, expelled the envoys, and reported to Jiankang at the same time. Two days later than him, Jiankang had also been believed, when Director Wang was sitting and drinking tea with Yu Liang, and he couldn't help but be in a trance, and the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Wang Maohong has always been calm, even if the wind and thunder are strong and his heart is not shaken, it is rare to lose his temper like this. Yu Liang couldn't help frowning and asked, "How can the prince be so shocked when he sees this?" ”

Director Wang casually handed the letter in his hand to Yu Liang, and then summoned the servants to come over to clean up the mess, he got up and retired by himself, and went inside to change clothes. When he returned to the case, Yu Liang had already finished reading the letter, twisting his beard and bowing his head and groaning. Director Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Shicai has lost his temper, Yuan Gui is calmer than so......"

Yu Liang shook his head slowly: "If it weren't for the prince who moved first, so that Liang was prepared, at first glance this book, it must be even more ......unbearable" and then sighed: "This matter is also reasonable, it is expected, but it is too urgent!" ”

Director Wang also sighed: "Things in the world are probably like this, if you don't prevent the slightest slight, but let it be spontaneous, thinking that those who are slow will inevitably get sick, which will catch people off guard...... Our side asked Ji Siyuan (Ji Zhan) to rectify Yangzhou's military affairs, but when he did not see any improvement, he heard this letter. It is rumored that the Chinese envoy is coming to Jiankang soon, how to deal with it? ”

Yu Liang said: "It only depends on how Brother Ling turns his back." ”

Director Wang looked at Yu Liang and said word by word: "Listening to the meaning of Yuan Gui, is it to be desperate, and the king of Danyang, Shaohei, is Jinzuo?" ”

Yu Liang raised his voice and said, "Otherwise, what? Could it be that the prince is willing to bow down?! ”

Wang Dao was still thinking about it, so he listened to Yu Liang's analysis: "The six states in the south of the Yangtze River (Yangjingjiang, Hunan and Guangzhou) are vast places, and although the household registration is not rich, there are millions of them. Besides, the Sun family is just a local tyrant, how can King Danyang be the descendant of Emperor Xuan, and Shao will succeed the Jin Dynasty, which is right?

"And in the past, when Wei Wu marched south, Sun Quan only Yang and Jiang were arrested, and when Wei Wen came again, Jing and Hunan were also defeated. Today, Pei Wenyue's momentum may not be comparable to Wei Wu's before and after Chibi, but the six states in the south of the Yangtze River are all in my hands, how can I see a paper and surrender? I'm afraid that through the ages, the king of Danyang will not escape the word 'cowardice', and we will also be tied with Yin Lingxian (郤正) - let me ask the prince, are you willing?

"Or Yunsun Wu's success, for the Liu family in Shu, waiting for Liu's extinction, Emperor Wu ordered to send out the division, and it will be extinguished in ten months, and now the momentum of Bayi is far inferior to Shu Han, and it is rebellious, not for aid - although it is said that Zhuge Liang is the Xinghan family, and he also forbears Sun Wu, I Jin may not be able to encircle Bayi......

"However, the death of Yan Han, there is still Zhaolie Jiye and Ge's support, am I not as good as Han? In the past, Wei Wen usurped the Han Dynasty and focused on Eastern Wu, thinking that if Zhaolie collapsed, Shu would not be in trouble, but the ministers sent a letter to Ge's family, affirming the righteousness, and waiting for him to surrender. Kong Ming refused to answer, one was by Zhaolie Long's grace, and he couldn't bear to abandon the business of the ancestors, and the other was that the Cao family gathered all the sages and returned home, how could he have a place to stay? Compared with today, if the prince climbs the tail and returns to Luoyang, he will be dismissed, and can he still show his life's ambitions?

"The prince is only confused, is he willing to travel to the forest and springs for the rest of his life?"

Wang Dao nodded first, and then said: "But how can I put the king in danger because of my selfishness?" ”

Yu Liang smiled slightly and said: "The safety of the king is not in the prince, but in Brother Ling-I think it is bright and talented, it depends on Brother Ling's back." ”

At the beginning of the "Five Horses South Crossing", there was no established force, and it was all thanks to Wang Dao Zanfu and the Jiangdong clan that he was barely able to establish a cone in Jiankang. But then Sima Yue appointed Wang Dun as the assassin of Yangzhou, after Wang Chuzhong went south, after several battles, Pinghua Yi, extinguished Du Tao, reverted to Tao Kan, visited week by week, and gradually pinched the entire Jiangnan region in his hands, which was dominated by Wuchang, with 100,000 soldiers and 1,000 warships, controlling the middle reaches - this is the most important military force in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wang Dun was once appointed as the governor of six states, and although Sima Rui was the governor of eastern Shaanxi at that time, he actually had a completely empty title, and there were few soldiers under him. Later, Pei should control the Chinese Dynasty, and in order to suppress Wang Dun, he was demoted to the governor of the five states, and Yangzhou was vacated for Sima Rui to spread freely. It's a pity that Sima Rui used Diao Xie and Liu Kui to implement new policies and suppress wealthy families, but before it could take effect, he was completely crushed by Wang Dun instigating Zhou and Shen to rebel.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

Wang Dunxuan retired and returned to Wuchang, and Wang Dao was able to govern again, and by marrying Yu Liang's sister to Sima Shao, the son of Danyang, he once again invoked Yu Yuangui. In fact, Wang Maohong also helped Sima Rui to revitalize the desire of the king, but his methods were relatively gentle, and the Nandu family and the Jiangdong natives were mainly to win over. If you want to revitalize the authority of King Danyang, it is impossible to rely on the direct force of force, otherwise when will the army in the middle of the stream come to the "Qingjun side" again, and his Wang Maohong's years of hard work will also turn into flowing water.

Don't think that Wang Dun is completely in the same group as himself, his own brothers still have to settle accounts, not to mention that the two are just cousins - the last time Wang Dun planned to raise troops, how could he have discussed it with Wang Dao in advance? It's just that he forced Wang Maohong to pull him onto the thief ship and forced him to push the boat down the river.

Therefore, Director Wang asked Ji Zhan to unify the armed forces around Jiankang and strive to form a Wang army that could be used to defend the city. It's a pity that the line is only halfway through, and before it has yet to take effect, there is such a ...... in the north If the Chinese army crosses south from Xuzhou, Jiankang City is almost equivalent to no defense, and the only way to ask Wang Dun in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River for help is to ask for help.

Therefore, Yu Liang said: "The safety of the king is not in the prince, but in the ...... of Brother Ling" If Jiankang wants to succeed Jinzuo, but Wang Dun is from China, then there is no need to send troops south from Xuzhou, Wuchang will directly release the ship; And what if Jiankang is willing to obey, and Wang Dun is unwilling to obey? It will still go east to Jiankang in minutes, and "admonish" the king of Danyang.

Yu Liang therefore concluded: "If the Chinese envoy comes, the king cannot be allowed to meet him, and the prince can send someone to entertain him first and leave it alone." And wait for Wuchang to have a letter, and it is not too late to help the king make a decision. ”

——————————

Sure enough, three days after the Chinese envoy came, Wang Dun's envoy also arrived-it was that Qian Feng and Qian Shiyi. Qian Feng met with Director Wang and elaborated on Wang Dun's thoughts, the main contents of which include:

First, the Chinese army cannot be defeated for the time being, as long as we work together and deploy defenses along the river, it is not difficult to take the defensive position first. Second, the king of Danyang, Shao, should be invited to succeed Jinzuo in order to correct the hearing and to reassure the people.

So Wang Dao went to the palace of Wuxing in person, visited the concubine Pei of Wuxing, and hoped that King Wuxing could lead the table, lead the ministers to the honorific title, and ask Sima Rui to practice Zuo.

When he arrived, Pei Si and Pei Chang's father and son were bidding farewell to Pei's family.

When this family first heard the news of Pei Cai's founding in Luoyang, they were happy and worried. The happy thing is that my Pei family still has such a day, and they turned around and changed their surname, so although we are separated by blood, we are also surnamed Pei after all, and we have served very early, even if the prince doesn't dare to think about it, the marquis can always get one, right? The worry is - I knew that we would move to the Central Plains in advance, and now I am trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, once the king of Danyang does not obey the edict, the north and the south will become enemy countries, and the head may not be able to be saved, let alone wealth?

So he hurriedly resigned to Pei's family, planning to cross the Yangtze River before Sima Rui officially expressed his position. As for Pei herself, there is no need to worry, she is Sima Rui's uncle after all, and she is also the grandmother of Sima Rui's third son, Sima Chong, and according to the etiquette law, since a woman is married, she is unlikely to be affected by her mother's family.

Instead of worrying that the Sima clan will be unfavorable to Concubine Pei, it is better to worry that in the future, when the two countries go to war and the Chinese army enters Jiankang, Pei should not be unfavorable to this aunt who is already from another family.

Hearing that Director Wang came to worship, Pei Si and his son hurriedly resigned. Immediately, Pei invited Wang Maohong to meet him, and after the greetings were over, Director Wang asked: "Nephew Pei Wen made an appointment to usurp in Luoyang...... Have you ever heard of the founding of the country? ”

Pei Shi nodded and said, "I've heard of it." Then he asked, "I don't know what the King of Danyang is doing here?" How will the prince and others make a statement to the king of Danyang? ”

Her expression was very calm, her tone was very calm, she was neither happy nor angry, and she was carefree and hateless, which made it difficult for Wang Maohong to get a glimpse of her mind. So Director Wang tried to say more: "One is the concubine's surname, and the other is the concubine's husband's family, so I don't know if the concubine has any suggestions on this matter?" ”

Pei replied: "This is not a matter of two surnames, but a national event, how dare my woman put her beak?" After a pause, he asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that the prince is here to ask me about my sin by the order of King Danyang?" I am an old woman in the Sima family, and I naturally kill from the heart. ”

Director Wang hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Don't dare." He said in his heart that the meaning of obedience was that Concubine Pei was still more inclined to the Sima family, so he pleaded with her to persuade her, or not to be embarrassed - after all, Sima Chong was still a child, and he had to listen to his grandmother, and if the old lady directly enticed or forced Sima Chong to sign, it would be rude.
