Guangling Wu Wangfu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Wu stood quietly in front of Yang Xingmi's spiritual position, thinking about the bits and pieces of this time.

After Yang Xingmi's death, Yang Wu succeeded to the throne as the new king of Wu very smoothly, because he had actually held the power of Huainan before, so his succession did not cause any turmoil.

However, Yang Wu was still very cautious to stay in Guangling, and postponed many things that might cause turmoil.

Guangling's army was also strictly ordered to stay in the barracks, and any movement of more than twenty troops must be ordered by Yang Wu and the privy envoy Li Shenfu himself; Martial law was even begun in the streets of Guangling to prevent people from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause sabotage.

At this time, more than a month had passed since Yang Xingmi's burial, and there had been no turmoil in the situation in Huainan, and there was no sign of turmoil in the news that Fan Yu had inquired about, so Yang Wu gradually reduced the martial law order.

A few days ago, Yang Xingmi's concubine Wang had just given birth to a posthumous son, a girl, and she was favored by Yang Wu all her life.

This little girl seems to be very special, and she is also very dependent on Yang Wu, the eldest brother, which reminds him of Yang Jing, who was also born to the Wang family.

Thinking of Yang Jing, Yang Wu couldn't help sighing, if there was no such accident, Yang Jing would have been married a long time ago, right? Even has already given birth to a child, but I don't know who will marry her, will it be to marry Qian Chuanhui like in history?

Yang Wu shook his head and didn't continue to think about it. Now that he is the real lord of Huainan, he must think more about Huainan.

Now the tense period caused by Yang Xingmi's illness has passed, the handover of rights has been basically completed, and many important matters are about to be officially put on the agenda.

Turning around and leaving the family temple, Yang Wu was about to go to the front hall to deal with government affairs, and halfway through, he saw several figures in front of him hurrying towards him.

"The concubine has seen the king!" When the leader of those figures saw Yang Wu, he immediately saluted.

Yang Wu nodded, motioned for her to get up, and then reproached slightly: "Xiuning, didn't Gu say it a long time ago?" You don't have to be so formal when you meet in private, just be casual. ”

The woman in front of her is Yang Wu's concubine Zhong Shi, that is, Zhong Chuan's daughter.

When she was in Hongzhou, she was certainly a daughter who was loved by thousands of people, but since she married in Guangling, she has changed her original coquettishness and become low-brow and pleasing to the eye.

In Yang Wu's back house, there are now only three wives and concubines, in addition to Zhou Mengjie, the wife of the main room, He Yiyi, who was accepted as a righteous daughter by Li Chenghe, married Yang Wu last year.

In general, the three wives and concubines were still safe and sound, and they did not cause any trouble to Yang Wu. Especially this Zhong family, as Zhong Chuan's daughter, she can only be a concubine in Huainan, but she does not have the slightest dissatisfaction, but she is quite flattering to Zhou Mengjie, and there is no violation of Yang Wu.

So Yang Wu's attitude towards her is much better, at least he didn't snub her because she was a political marriage.

"By the way, you're in such a hurry to see Lone, but is there anything important?"

Under normal circumstances, as long as there is nothing important, Zhong Xiuning only stays in his yard and rarely takes the initiative to look for Yang Wu.

Zhong Xiuning's face was a little anxious and said: "King, the concubine has just received a letter from Hongzhou, and the concubine's father is seriously ill and wants the concubine to go back to see her for the last time." The concubine was worried physically and mentally, so she wanted to ask the king for permission! ”

"That's right!" Yang Wu frowned.

Speaking of which, the rumor that Zhong Chuan, the envoy of Zhennan Jiedu, was going to die of illness, began to spread everywhere more than two years ago. Every time it was rumored that he had a nose and eyes, and even once heard that his eldest son Zhong Kuangshi was ready to take over, and even the nickname and sacrificial text for Zhong Chuan were ready, but in the end, Zhong Chuan's condition was miraculously improved again.

It's just that what Yang Wu doesn't understand is that every time the news of Zhong Chuan's critical illness came before, he didn't mean to call Zhong Xiuning's daughter back, so why did she call her back this time? Is it really to visit Zhong Chuan?

Yang Wu was a little unsure, but the Zhong family had been respectful and respectful in the past two years, and he had not returned to the province since he stayed in Guangling, so it was not easy for Yang Wu to refuse when he suddenly mentioned it this time.

Besides, since Yang Wu intends to attack Jiangxi, he must first understand the intelligence of Jiangxi, since Zhong Xiuning wants to go back to the province, Yang Wu will naturally send a competent person to escort him, so that he can openly send people to contact Jiangxi officials.

Although Jiangxi has fallen into the hands of Zhong Chuan for more than 20 years and is relatively stable internally, with the strong rise of Huainan, especially Zhong Chuan's imminent death, Zhong Kuangshi, who is about to take over, does not have enough prestige to deter hundreds of officials, so Yang Wu believes that there must be many Jiangxi officials who want to contact Huainan and find a new way out.

As for the candidate for this task, Yang Wu was quickly determined to be Diao Yanneng.

"Lone agreed to this matter, but when you go back to Jiangxi to be escorted, Lone is ready to order the commander of the Crane Army so that Diao Yan can be your escort!" Yang Wu nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhong Xiuning's face was full of joy, but she didn't know that Yang Wu had secretly begun to plot against her father's territory.

Tanzhou.

When Yang Wu began to plot against Jiangxi, Ma Yin also started the idea of Jiangxi.

The news that Zhong Chuan was about to die of illness could be received by Huainan, and Ma Yin could naturally receive it, so Ma Yin plotted against Jiangxi very early, even before Huainan.

Since Huainan began the Northern Expedition in October last year, Ma Yin has not moved, of course, because the troops stationed in Ezhou at the junction of Huainan and Ma Yin are still sufficient, and it is difficult for the Hunan army to attack, but it is also because Ma Yin has taken a fancy to the territory of Jiangxi.

Unlike Huainan, Ma Yin did not have the strength of Huainan, and it was difficult to directly pacify Jiangxi by military means, so he had to use more ingenious methods to plot Jiangxi.

Although Zhong Chuan has been in control of Jiangxi for nearly 30 years, his control over Jiangxi is not deep.

Today's Jiangxi has a total of eight states, but Zhong Chuan can actually control only five states: Jiangzhou, Hongzhou, Raozhou, Yuanzhou and Jizhou, and the other three states are only nominally subservient to Zhong Chuan.

Among these three states, Qianzhou Thorn Shi Lu Guangchou, who has been in possession of the local area for about the same time as Zhong Chuan, and he has a strategist named Tan Quanbo, who is known as Xiao Zhuge and has excellent ability.

With the single-minded assistance of Tan Quanbo, Lu Guangchou governed the local area very well and won the support of the local people.

And Fuzhou Assassin Shi Wei Quan and Xinzhou Assassin Shi Wei Zichang are brothers, and the time for these two to divide the local area is not much shorter than Zhong Chuan, and their strength is stronger, and they are not very obedient to Zhong Chuan.

A few years ago, Zhong Chuan personally led a large army to crusade against Wei Quanyan, and it happened that a fire broke out in the city of Fuzhou, and Zhong Chuan's generals asked to take the opportunity to attack, but Zhong Chuan refused, but withdrew his troops back, and at the same time prayed to the heavens, hoping not to condemn the people in the city.

After Wei Quanyi heard about this, he took advantage of this step to send someone to ask Zhong Chuan to surrender, and married his daughter to Zhong Kuangshi.

Since then, Wei Quanyan has been a little more obedient to Zhong Chuan, but he still has a lot of independence. Standing.

So what can actually be controlled by Zhong Chuan is only the land of the other five states.

However, now that Zhong Chuan is about to die of illness, the pressure of Huainan's invasion is felt by almost everyone with knowledge, so even the assassin Shi of the Five Prefectures controlled by Zhong Chuan is now looking for another way.

Everyone is not stupid, now Huainan's policy has long been placed there, and it is impossible to continue to be the emperor of the soil like in the past after arriving in Huainan, so these assassins have concerns about taking refuge in Huainan, which gives Ma Yin the opportunity to win them over.

"Jiangxi is remote, especially in Qianzhou and other places at the southern end, which are densely jungled, and there are a large number of indigenous Nanban residents, which is not suitable for army conquest at all, so you don't have to worry."

"In addition, although this Huainan and Northern Expedition is huge and has achieved a lot of results, but how powerful King Liang is, now it is just a temporary defeat, and when this period of time is over, King Liang will inevitably send a large army to the south to avenge today's revenge."

"So the main force of the Huainan Army will inevitably stay in the north to guard against the Liang army, and at most send thirty or forty thousand people to attack Jiangxi."

"If you join forces, even if you can't defeat the Huainan army that is moving south, can't you still deal with the thirty or forty thousand Huainan army?"

At this time, in the face of the envoys sent by the assassins of Jiangxi Prefectures, Ma Yin personally went into battle to encourage everyone.

Since no one has the strength to fight against Huainan alone, then everyone will hold each other!

As soon as this idea came out, Ma Yin was recognized by Wei Quanxi, Lu Guangchou and other assassins.

It's a pity that no matter how much you hold a group, everyone is still worried that they can't beat Huainan, so Ma Yin has to encourage more.

So far, among the eight states in Jiangxi, except for Hongzhou and Jiangzhou controlled by Zhong Yangui, the other six states have sent envoys to contact Ma Yin, among which Lu Guangchou and Wei Quanyi and Wei Zichang have agreed to join forces with Ma Yin to fight against Huainan, but the remaining three assassins: Raozhou Assassin Shi Tang Bao, Yuanzhou Assassin Shi Peng Yanzhang and his brother Jizhou Assassin Shi Peng Xuan are still a little hesitant.

Among the three assassins who are still hesitating, the reason for Tang Bao's hesitation is that Raozhou is next to Shezhou, and Zhong Chuan sent troops to Shezhou under the bewitchment of Qian Biao, but was defeated by Chen Zhang, the assassin of Quzhou, and was even pushed back to Raozhou City by the Huainan army.

Therefore, Tang Bao had a deep understanding of the strength of the Huainan Army, so he was reluctant to join Ma Yin's side.

As for the two brothers Peng Xuan and Peng Yanzhang, Peng Yanzhang was one of the two generals who led the Jiangxi soldiers to attack Shezhou, and he had a better understanding of the strength of the Huainan Army, so he persuaded him to take refuge in Huainan.

It's a pity that not everyone can see the situation clearly and have a long-term vision, but his brother Peng Xuan is firmly opposed to defecting to Huainan.
