Yang Wu's initial plan was also to wait for Li Qiu to launch a mutiny before sending troops to Qianzhou, so that the Wu army could send troops in the name of quelling the rebellion, and there was no need to send an army to be nameless.

But that Li Qiu is not a fool, if Wu Guo does not agree to Li Qiu's request in advance, and promises him to make him the assassin of Qianzhou after his mutiny is successful, I am afraid that Li Qiu will not mutiny rashly.

After all, Li Qiu is also the commander of the tooth soldiers of Qianzhou now, and he is in a high position, if he is at ease to be his commander, at least he will be able to guarantee wealth in the future.

But if he rashly launched a mutiny, but was accused of rebellion by Wu and crusaded, then he would be exterminated by his family.

When the envoy Qianzhou's envoy brought Li Qiu's request back to Jinling, Yang Wu also planned to fool him, verbally agreeing that he would serve as the assassin afterwards; However, I didn't expect this Li Qiu to be a master who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles, so he had to ask Yang Wu to give him a written order.

As the lord of the state of Wu, Yang Wu was willing to be threatened by such a small commander as Li Qiu, so the matter ended up in the end, and now Yang Wu and the others are not sure whether this person will launch a mutiny.

However, this time Ma Yin's surrender made Yang Wu's momentum more sufficient.

The reason why he wanted to use some means to let Li Qiu attack the Lu family, and then the Wu army came to make a profit, was mainly because Lu Guangchou had been operating in Qianzhou for many years and won the support of the local people.

If you can borrow Li Qiu's hand to kill the Lu family, and then the Wu army sends troops in the name of quelling the chaos, it will naturally be easy to gain the approval of the local people.

However, now that Ma Yin has been solved in one fell swoop, the remaining forces in the south are insignificant.

Without Ma Yin's containment, a mere Qianzhou was naturally not taken by Yang Wu, so his current plan was to give up those small means, directly refuse to recognize Lu Yanchang's inheritance, and then send troops to capture Qianzhou.

As for the little reputation lost as a result, it is not very important compared to the capture of Qianzhou.

Yan Keqiu said: "King, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, the minister has a strategy, so that Na Liqiu has to launch a mutiny in order to protect himself." At that time, the king can justifiably send troops to attack Qianzhou! ”

Yang Wu suddenly became interested when he heard this: "I don't know what Yan Qing's clever plan is to make Li Qiu launch a mutiny?" ”

"It's very simple, since Lu Guangchou is dead, the king might as well send an envoy to appease him, and by the way, appoint Lu Yanchang as the commander of Qianzhou. However, at the same time, the king can secretly use some means to sow discord between him and Li Qiu. ”

"That Lu Yanchang was originally mediocre, and he was able to inherit his position in the history of Qianzhou Thorn by his father; But Li Qiu is in control of the military power of Qianzhou, there must be discord between the two, coupled with the king's provocation, it is strange that they don't fall out! Yan Keqiu explained with a smile.

Yang Wu suddenly realized that this secretly provoked strategy didn't need to be very clever, because whether it was Lu Yanchang or Li Qiu, they were not smart people in the first place, and there were already some contradictions between the two, and the reason why they didn't break out was just because they were worried that they would be taken advantage of by Wu Guo.

But with the fragile bond between the two, can they work together to deal with Wu Guo in a frank and honest way? This is obviously impossible.

In other words, if Lu Yanchang really has that vision and awareness, then he is a qualified heir, and Lu Guangchou would not have been so worried at the beginning.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's let Lu Yanchang sit in the position of the assassin of Qianzhou for a few days, and let him have fun, right?" Yang Wu finally agreed with a smile.

Of course, the reason for this decision is also because Ma Yin's territory has not yet been fully received, and the five prefectures of Hunan and Li Prefecture are better to say, after all, they are close to each other and have a high degree of development, so it is not a big problem to receive them.

However, the six prefectures of the Jingjiang Army are remote, and the local situation is complicated, and there are many barbarian tribes living in the local area, so it is difficult to clean up, and it will be difficult to complete it for a while and a half.

In addition, now is the time when the war between Shu and Qi is fierce, Yang Wu naturally wants to take advantage of the current opportunity to quickly send troops to Jiangling, at least to seal the road for the Shu army to go east, to avoid large-scale interference by the Shu army in the future.

Therefore, if you want to attack Qianzhou, Wu State can not use many troops in a short period of time, maybe it will be good to be able to dispatch the strength of an army at that time.

In August of the fourth year of Wuyi, when Yang Wu, the king of Wu, began to plan Qianzhou, Liu Shouguang, the king of Yan, called the emperor's "great cause" was not affected by any other forces, and all preparations were carried out according to the plan.

However, since Liu Rengong became the envoy of the Lulong Festival, more than ten years have passed, and after two generations of Liu Rengong and Liu Shouguang, the people of Yan still recognize the Liu family.

Although Liu Shouguang's perverse behavior forced a large number of loyal ministers who dared to speak out and advise to flee the Yan Kingdom, there were still many upright people among the remaining ministers.

These people all vaguely felt that the emperor was too anxious at this time.

However, after all, these people only dared to discuss it in secret, but they did not dare to dissuade Liu Shouguang in front of him.

After all, everyone knows that what Liu Shouguang decides, whoever dares to admonish him is against him; And those who oppose him often end up with no good ends.

More importantly, this time Liu Shouguang is determined to ascend the throne as the emperor, some time ago he publicly placed knives and axes and chopping boards on the court, and claimed: "Those who dare to admonish will be killed!" ”

Under his deterrence, even though many people opposed him as emperor in their hearts, no one dared to say it.

Except for one person.

"King, when Cangzhou was breached, the minister should have died, and it was the king who saved the minister's life, which is why we have today. Is the minister a person who is afraid of death? Today, the king wants to kill the minister, and the minister must also speak bluntly, at this time, it is absolutely impossible to be called the emperor, the king! ”

Sun He took off his official hat and put it aside, knelt on the ground, and admonished Liu Shouguang with tears in his eyes.

"Presumptuous! You old puppet has repeatedly provoked me, I have put up with you for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that you still have some talent, I would have killed you a long time ago! Now that I have spoken first, but you insist on admonishing me regardless of my will, do you still have the slightest loyalty in your heart? Liu Shouguang said angrily.

"The king, the minister advised the king not to admonish at this time, just out of the loyalty of the minister!" Sun He sobbed.

"The old man is looking for death!"

Liu Shouguang has indeed endured it for a long time, and when those cronies around him persuaded him to kill Sun He in the past, Liu Shouguang was still somewhat rational and did not agree.

But this time, he was really angry.

"It's not a big deal for my Yan Kingdom to leave you, can't I be the emperor without you? Come on, pull down this old puppet who has no king, and behead him! Liu Shouguang shouted.

Several guards immediately came in, and they were about to pull Sun He out.

"King, if you don't listen to the old minister's blunt words and insist on ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, there will definitely be a large army coming to crusade within a hundred days!" Sun He shouted loudly.

Liu Shouguang has made up his mind, and even the ceremony of enthronement is ready, how can he stop at such a time?

Therefore, Liu Shouguang, who was furious in his heart, not only did not let Sun He go, but ordered the executing sergeant to plug Sun He's mouth with soil, and then chop him into pieces inch by inch with a big axe.

Poor Sun He was bent on speaking out for his king, but in the end he fell into such a fate, and those courtiers who still had a heart of right and wrong in their hearts were all chilled when they saw this.

"Even Mr. Sun ended up like this, why should we stay in Yan Kingdom? This kind of precarious life is nothing more than that! Everyone was disheartened for a while, and many people were thinking of leaving, including Feng Dao.

Regarding Sun He's death, Feng Dao didn't have too much sentimentality.

In his opinion, Sun He died in order to be loyal to his monarch in order to seek benevolence; If he cared more about his own life, he was afraid that he would not end up where he is now.

"When I talked to Mr. Sun, I expected it to be today, and now it is normal. But should I leave Yan now and go south to Jinling, or should I do my part for Yan again? Feng Dao hesitated in his heart.

In troubled times, it is important to save your life, but it is also important to be faithful.

If he had to choose between loyalty and life-saving, Feng Dao would naturally choose to save his life; However, before his life is threatened, he will not betray easily.

Therefore, Feng Dao in history will become the officialdom tumbler, after the Tang Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty, the Later Han Dynasty, and the Later Four Dynasties, but he has always been able to be in the center and receive the emperor's credit.

Because he is a very capable and at the same time extremely realistic person, he will not serve the death force for a family and a surname; But at the same time, he won't betray easily until you're exhausted.

This is also the choice that most scribes will make in this troubled era where martial arts are in power.

Of course, the current Feng Dao has not yet fallen to the point where he has no "temperance" at all like later, so he will hesitate before leaving Yan Kingdom.

After a long time, Sun He made up his mind to stay in Yan Kingdom for the time being; But if he can't do anything, he will leave immediately.
