Chapter 38, Langya and the East China Sea
Qian Feng prides himself on being a wise man, and he was ordered to cross the river this time, and he didn't put Pei Cai in his eyes, but who would have thought that as soon as they met, Pei should say something, but he didn't know how to talk about it. With {dream} small β’.1a
The key is that Pei Gai mentioned a word that is easy to cause ambiguity - "Langya Wangjia". If he says "Langya King" and "Langya Wangfu", of course, he refers to Sima Rui, Sima Rui is sitting in Jiankang, as the governor of eastern Shaanxi, saying that he is like a dragon lying on the river, which is very reasonable. But saying "Langya Wang's family", it is easy to be understood as "Langya Wang's family", now Wang Dao is in Yang, Wang Dun is in Jiang, Wang Hui is in Jing, echoing from beginning to end, it can also be said that all occupy the south of the Yangtze River, but it is not appropriate to compare it with "Panlong".
If Pei should bluntly say "Langya Wang's family", Qian Feng will inevitably cross-examine him, saying that Pei Yuanjun's words are inappropriate, the Wang family has no ambition, how can it be compared to a dragon? The three kings and the three states are just a coincidence. But now Pei Gai said "Langya Wang's family", what if the original meaning was Sima Rui? If Qian Feng misunderstood and refuted it, wouldn't it be "there are no three hundred taels of silver here"? And if he agrees with what Pei Gai said, but Pei Gai actually refers to the "Langya Wang"?
Therefore, there was nothing to reply, so I had to tear away the topic and say: "Du Zeng was destroyed, thanks to the help of Pei Yuanjun, my family Ming Gong is deeply admired." However, I don't know why Pei Yuanjun is based on Xu Fang, why did he go to Jingzhou? β
Pei Gai's expression suddenly became solemn, and he arched his hand towards the north: "Today, Hu is riding across the pass, and the Son of Heaven is trapped in Chang'an, and he has repeatedly issued edicts, ordering the world's soldiers and horses to go to King Qin, but I don't know why the prince has no action?" Although there is no strategy and no courage, and the basis is only three or four counties, and the department is less than 10,000, but since he is a minister, he must die for the king, so as to live up to the loyalty of his father. Therefore, he led his division to the west, wanting to join forces with Zu Yuzhou and go straight to Yuluo to aid Chang'an. Unfortunately, Yuzhou only went through a hard battle, and I had no strength to fight again, so I had no choice but to temporarily return east - on the way to Wancheng, I wanted to consult the fifth chief about the situation in Guanzhong, who would have thought that he would listen to the words of the thieves and want to kidnap me, and I was forced to calm down with a drum......"
It's still that set of lies, and when it's over, I will turn the topic back: "I will return to Xuzhou for the time being, and I will wait for the time." I don't know when the prince will personally unify Pixiu to express the country's difficulties? It should be the service of the Yuanmen and the forerunner of the prince. In Jiankang before, I also consulted Wang Gong Maohong on this matter, Biyunjing, Hunan is still chaotic, and I am unable to go on the Northern Expedition, so now I will pacify Jingzhou for the king, and Du Tao in Xiangzhou is also about to be wiped out...... "In fact, Du Tao has been defeated at this time, but the news has not yet reached Pei Gai's ears - "Maybe after the autumn harvest, the prince can lead the troops of Yang, Jing, Jiang, and Hunan to chase King Hu Qin, so as to become an immortal cause and mark the vast history." I asked you today, does Wang Gongguo have this intention? β
For this kind of statement, Qian Feng was naturally prepared, and immediately replied: "The appointment of eastern Shaanxi, the king of Langya in the capital, but the king has an order, and my family Ming Gong should lead the Northern Expedition and dare to descend from here?" However, the death of Jiangnan has always been weak, and the rebellion of Du Tao and Du Zeng lasted for several years before it subsided, which can be proved to be evidenced. Although it is now annihilated, Jing and Hunan are broken, and the soldiers of Yang and Jiang are also tired, and there is a lack of war horses, so it is difficult to compete with Hu Qi in the Central Plains, and I am afraid that it is not the time to move troops......"
Pei Gai waved his hand and interrupted him: "The king of Langya has the responsibility of eastern Shaanxi, and the prince has the reputation of the world, so he doesn't have to be a 100,000 male division to cross the Yangtze River in the north, but with a wave, the world will follow." Before the conquest of Du Tao and Du Zeng, the prince sat in Peng Ze, didn't there be one or two thousand elites available under his command? As for the strong soldiers, as well as the war horses and equipment, Jiangbei has its own, and the prince comes with a festival, so he must lead his troops to gallop before the army, why worry that Hu Lu will not be destroyed, the old will not be restored, and the Son of Heaven will not return? β
What I want is the attitude of the Jiankang regime's Northern Expedition, as for the soldiers and horses, Zu Ti and I can come out, you Wang Dun only need to lead one or two thousand people to supervise the battle - do you dare to come?
Qian Feng said perfunctorily: "This national event is not something Feng dares to hear. Angelica reported to my family Ming Gong, played the king of Langya, and the king decided. β
Pei Cai smiled: "How does Qian Jun look at my Xuzhou Army, is it still available?" β
"The division of the bear and tiger has opened the eyes of the phoenix."
"In this case, I want to subordinate this army to the prince, I wonder if the prince is willing to cross the river to receive it, so as to promote the great cause of the Northern Expedition?"
He repeatedly urged Wang Dun to lead the Northern Expedition, but Qian Feng only said that he wanted to go back and ask Wang Dun. In the end, Pei Gai let out a long sigh: "It's a pity, the king of the East China Sea collapsed that day, if the prince is in Xiang, he can manage his army, and he will not be defeated in Kuxian, and the situation in the world should be very different......"
When Qian Feng heard this, he couldn't help but open his eyes slightly: "Feng Wen Pei Envoy Jun was also in the Eastern Navy that day, and I don't know why he couldn't plan for Wang Sikong (Wang Yan), so that he wouldn't be defeated?" β
"The position is low, how can you have affairs with the army?" Pei Gai sighed again, "I have to live a life, in order to protect the princess of the East China Sea, in order to repay the king's kindness." β
"Pei Envoy Jun is also thinking about the East China Sea Martial King?"
The late Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, was posthumously named the king of filial piety in the original history, that was because Sima Rui ordered his third son Sima Chong to pass through the East China Sea (originally only succeeded to the prince of the king), he had already called the emperor, and most of the old forces of the East China Sea King family belonged to the Langya King line, so he gave a not so good "dedication" word. But in this timeline, Pei should have ensured that Pei's family crossed south in advance, and brought back the exact death of Sima Bi, the son of the East China Sea, so Sima Rui let the second son Sima Bi directly inherit the prince of the East China Sea, and considering the necessity of continuing to recruit his old department, he gave Sima Yue a beautiful nickname - "Wu".
Pei Gai said: "I am the old master, and I should have an uncle, how can I not think about it?" β
Qian Feng nodded: "My family Ming Gong also thinks about the Martial King of the East China Sea all the time, if Chang Yun gives the Martial King three more years of life, it will not be difficult for Yongjia...... Now the princess is at the place, and the Ming Gong of my family often writes to him, and there is no shortage of tribute. β
Pei Gaixin said I know, my aunt has mentioned many times in the letter to me, among the Langya Wang family, only Wang Dun has the most enthusiastic attitude towards her, not just respecting her name and position, and perfunctory flattery. Oh, it turns out that Wang Dun sent Qian Feng to talk about this, but I was expecting it......
In the original history, when Wang Dun rebelled for the second time, Qian Feng and others once asked him: "On the day of the incident, what is the cloud of the Son of Heaven?" "The Son of Heaven refers to Sima Shao, the Emperor of the Jin Ming Dynasty. Wang Dun immediately replied: "Before the southern suburbs, how can you be called the Son of Heaven!" He did his best to protect the king of the East China Sea and Concubine Pei. "It seems that he wants to abolish Emperor Ming, and Sima Chong, the king of the East China Sea, will inherit the throne.
This idea is formed by a combination of three factors. The first, of course, is dissatisfied with Sima Shao's succession; the second is to look down on the Langya King line; The third is that Wang Dun is grateful for Sima Yue's credit virtue back then.
Although Sima Rui is Sima Yi's descendant, he is more qualified to succeed to the throne than Sima Yue - Sima Yue is Sima Yi's younger brother Sima Kui - but his talent is mediocre, and he did nothing in the turmoil in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty. In Wang Dun's opinion, that is my family's puppet, and all the foundations of this Langya Wang's family are all made with the help of my family, what qualifications does he have to take us as ministers?
Sima Yue is different, from the beginning of the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", he was involved, and he was awarded the throne of the East China Sea because of his participation in the killing of Yang Jun. It can be said that this person has experienced the whole process of the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", and has the last laugh, although his talent may not be the crown of the clan, his reputation is really first-class - especially all those whose fame exceeds him have died one after another.
At that time, Wang Yan arranged his brother Wang Cheng in Jingzhou, and arranged Wang Dun, the highest among his younger brothers, in Yangzhou, wanting to "three holes of cunning rabbits". Of course, it was Sima Yue who made the final decision, and Pan Tao persuaded Sima Yue to say: "Today's tree is located outside the river, so that it is arrogant and strong, and it is a thief." However, Sima Yue withstood all kinds of pressure from the court and let Wang Dun serve as the assassin of Yangzhou. For this reason, Wang Dun was very grateful to Sima Yue, and felt that his foundation was really given by Sima Yue.
So when he raised a banner against the Langya King lineage, he naturally wanted to support the East China Sea King line as the emperor - it just so happened that Sima Chong was originally the son of Sima Rui, and it was logical for him to return to the sect after inheriting Emperor Yuan.
In retrospect, in this year, Wang Dun's anti-form has not been revealed, even if his anti-heart is not heavy, mainly because he wants to expand and stabilize the power of his personal and family members, but he despises Langya and misses the heart of the East China Sea, which has already been formed. Unlike Wang Dao's full assistance to Sima Rui, Wang Dun wants to let the kings of Jiangzuo confront each other, so that his family can easily profit from it - Emperor Jin is still in Chang'an, and he can't mention the matter of succeeding to the throne and becoming emperor for the time being, so there is no need to be the number one person in name.
That's why he wanted to help the child Sima Qi up and let him resist his father. Sending Qian Feng across the river this time also wanted to inquire about Pei Gai's attitude on this matter - Pei Gai and the princess of the East China Sea have aunts and nephews, so they can naturally be allies.
Because Pei was familiar with the trajectory of historical development, he took the initiative to lead the topic to Sima Yue, and hit it off with Qian Feng. The two talked earnestly for a long time, and every word was not implemented, but the implication became deeper and deeper, and finally Qian Fengchun proudly said goodbye and returned to Peng Ze to report to Wang Dun.
ββββββββββ
Wang Dun was waiting for Qian Feng in the government office, and when he saw him come in, he couldn't wait to ask: "Shiyi, will you get anything if you go to Jiangbei?" β
Qian Feng didn't have time to catch his breath, so he replied: "Feng went to Jiangbei and met Pei Xuzhou, he first asked the fifth Yi how to deal with it, and then ...... it."
Wang Dun waved his hand and interrupted Qian Feng's words, saying that there is no need to talk about the specific process, I can trust you Qian Shiyi, you just tell me the conclusion.
Qian Feng thought about it for a while, and then raised three fingers: "There are three gains from the phoenix." First, Feng Xingqian's guess with Ming Gong is probably wrong......"
Before leaving, it was reported that Pei Gai had brought about 5,000 troops with him this time, and that the army was neat and well-armed, and it seemed that he was a very effective forceβas evidenced by the fact that he was able to march down Wancheng with one drum. Qian Feng said: "This must be the best soldier he has trained." In the past, it was not appropriate for the envoys to go north, and Yu Yuangui planned to draw salary for the bottom of the kettle in Jiangdong, but in Jiangbei, he was afraid to drive fish for the abyss. β
However, after he actually observed Pei Gai's military situation, he came back to report to Wang Dun, saying: "The purge of the Xuzhou army is even higher than the former Tao Shi Xing's department, and I am afraid it is not what the Shi Xing can do." I also secretly consulted Pei Yuanjun, knowing that after the Tao Shi crossed to the north, he only managed the civil affairs in Xiapi and did not participate in the military. Then this army is afraid that it will be left behind by Zu Shizhi - the so-called integration of Xu and Yu should be no suspicious. β
Wang Dunyi frowned: "If you stop Yan, Yu, or Xuzhou, I am not afraid, if they are combined, I am afraid it will be difficult to control ......"
Qian Feng didn't answer first, and then raised a second finger: "Second, Pei Xuzhou is going to Jingzhou, I am afraid that he will contact the fifth Yi and persuade him to make suggestions to the imperial court, so that Xu and Yu will be independent of eastern Shaanxi." Zu Shizhi is not yet available, but this Pei Wenyue, his ambition is probably not small. β
Wang Dun nodded: "In the past, Maohong also said this to me, I thought that Pei Wenyue was still immature and had no ambitions, but now it seems that ...... If you talk about people, I'm not as good as Maohong! Mao Hong's meaning, he has the Central Plains in his heart, like a bird in love with the old nest, and can not kill, but should be used as a barrier, not between the elbows and armpits...... However, if the barrier is high and obscures out the sun, this must not be ignored......"
Qian Feng said again: "Third, I think Pei Xuzhou's heart is also in the East China Sea, not in Langya. β
When Wang Dun heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up: "In this way, it may be used by me...... Shiyi, in Qing's opinion, can I control Pei Wenyue? β
Qian Feng immediately complimented: "Ming Gongying raises his martial arts, and people in the world do not enter the Ming Gongyan, how rare?" I expect that Jiankang will not be able to control Pei Xuzhou, who can control it, who is Sheming Gong? But with Xuzhou as foreign aid, Yan and Yu can also be friends, Ming Gong is on the river, and he can turn things around with one hand! β
