Chapter 400: Zhu Wen's handwriting
After sending a few little guys out, Mrs. Shi suddenly said: "Wu'er, it is naturally a good thing that your brothers are harmonious, but you are now the king of Wu and you are extremely rich, don't forget your brothers!" ”
Yang Wu frowned immediately when he heard this. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
What does Mrs. Shi mean by this? Do you want to pass on the throne to your younger brother in the future? This is obviously not possible.
Mrs. Shi is said to be the aunt of Shi Jiantang, the Hedong general who died fighting hard to save Li Ke in the Shangyuan Station Incident, but her family background is not high, and she has not read many books, let alone much knowledge.
If it weren't for the fact that she married Yang Xingmi and gave birth to Yang Wu, the eldest son, where would she be the most noble woman in Wu now.
After enjoying the ultimate wealth, if she really wants Yang Wu to have a brother-in-law, it will be a little difficult to do.
It is obviously impossible for a brother to end up with a brother, not only because Yang Wu values his son more than his brother, but also because he doesn't want to make a bad start for future generations.
If he passes the throne to his brother in the future, then there will definitely be constant turmoil in the future for the succession of the throne.
What does Mother mean by that? Naturally, the children will not forget their younger brothers, and they will definitely ensure their wealth for a lifetime in the future! Yang Wu said tentatively.
Mrs. Shi seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Yang Wu's answer, and she said with some reproach: "Since you want to keep them rich and prosperous for a lifetime, then why is it that among your younger brothers, only your second brother is now crowned king?" And your three younger sisters, who are not crowned princesses now, are you saying rich? ”
Yang Wu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it turned out that Mrs. Shi only meant to blame herself for not giving knighthoods to her other younger brothers and sisters.
Now Yang Wu has a total of five younger brothers, Yang Longyan, Yang Meng, Yang Pu, Yang Xun, and Yang Che, in addition to three younger sisters who are not married.
Among these younger brothers and sisters, only the second brother Yang Longyan has won the title of king, and the others have not been knighted for the time being because they are still young.
As long as you don't let yourself have a brother and a brother, as for the matter of knighthood, Yang Wu naturally has a way to shirk it, even if he can't shirk it, when the time comes, give them a title that cannot be hereditarily replaced, and the impact will not be too great.
So Yang Wu said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, they are still young now, so they are not knighted, and when they are older, the children will naturally not forget them." ”
Mrs. Shi smiled and nodded.
After accompanying Mrs. Shi and the others for a while, Yang Wu saw Cheng Xun and Fan Yu coming over to signal to him, and immediately got up to say goodbye.
"What's wrong, so anxious to find Lone? But has the war on the Hunan side come to an end? After leaving Kunning Palace, Yang Wu immediately asked.
Fan Yu still served as the commander of the Long Sword Capital, and was directly responsible to Yang Wu himself, even Gao Miao and Li Shenfu could not command him.
He was now given the title of General Anton and had the title of Earl, although it was not yet hereditary, but Yang Wu had decided that as long as he remained faithful, he would also be promoted to the title in the future.
"I just got the news that Yang Shihou, a famous general of the Liang army, led his troops south, and General Wang Maozhang was defeated by Yang Shihou in Puqi, and now Yang Shihou has turned south and lifted the siege of Tanzhou!"
"Yang Shihou?" Yang Wu nodded, not angry at Wang Maozhang's defeat.
As the so-called victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, not to mention that the Liang army is not weaker than the Wu army, and Yang Shihou is a famous general in the world, with his ability to lead the troops, no one dares to guarantee that he will be able to defeat him.
So for Wang Maozhang's defeat, Yang Wu did not blame him.
Of course, before he gave up attacking Tanzhou with Li Chengsi, but went to attack Yuezhou alone, this somewhat selfish choice still made Yang Wu remember it.
"What about Yuezhou? Which side is Yuezhou in the hands of now? ”
"The king can rest assured, Yuezhou is still under the control of our army, and General Li Chengsi personally commanded 20,000 troops to garrison Yuezhou, and Yang Shihou will definitely not be able to help him!" Fan Yu said.
Hearing that Yuezhou was in the hands of Li Chengsi, Yang Wu was a lot more relieved.
Only then did he attack Hunan, Yang Wu didn't plan to eliminate Ma Yin at one time, it was impossible.
Not only is Zhu Wen likely to interfere, but at the same time, the roads in the southern states of Hunan are difficult and barbarians are rampant, which in itself is not suitable for large-scale use of troops.
The best way is to use a blunt knife to cut the flesh, seize one or two states of Ma Yin today, and one or two more states tomorrow, or in a few years, Ma Yin's territory will be completely lost.
After losing the territory, how could Ma Yin oppose Wu Guo?
So as long as Yuezhou is captured this time, and the Chu army is given enough casualties to make it difficult for him to recover within a few years, then the purpose of this crusade against him will be achieved.
At this time, Fan Yu said again: "King, after Yang Shihou lifted the siege of Tanzhou, he did not continue to fight with our army, but sent a messenger, saying that Zhu Wen had a handwritten letter to bring to the king!" ”
"Zhu Wen's handwritten letter?" Yang Wu asked with some surprise.
He couldn't figure out what the purpose of Zhu Wen suddenly writing a letter to him was that the two sides were fighting fiercely, and that Yang Shihou had just defeated Wang Maozhang and forced the Wu army to withdraw the siege of Tanzhou.
What about his faith? Take a look at Lonely! ”
"Yes!" Fan Yudang immediately handed over a letter with a good fire paint to Yang Wu.
Yang Wu took a look at it, and immediately said to Cheng Xun: "You immediately go and inform the bachelors and bachelors of the cabinet, plus Guo Chongtao and Song Qiqiu, and let them go to the Huagai Hall to discuss matters!" ”
Song Qiqiu is now appointed by Yang Wu as Jinling Yin, and he was originally not qualified to join the cabinet deliberations, but Yang Wo thought that his historical talent was good, so he was allowed to participate in the deliberations, but he could only observe, and could not speak under normal circumstances.
Soon, Yang Wu changed his clothes and rushed to the Huagai Palace, and except for Song Qiqiu, the others had already arrived because they were handling official business in the nearby palace.
Yang Wu naturally couldn't wait for Song Qiqiu to arrive before starting, so he immediately introduced the news of Zhu Wen's sudden envoy, and at the same time passed Zhu Wen's handwritten book to everyone.
After Gao Miao and the others saw it, they all frowned and pondered, but Yin Wengui laughed first and said: "Zhu Wen still seems to have some sincerity in negotiating peace, at least he didn't put on his puppet emperor's shelf." ”
At the beginning of Zhu Wen's handwriting, he begins like this: "Emperor Daliang sent a letter to the lord of Wu......"
Originally, Zhu Wen had also issued an edict to remove Li Keyong and Yang Wu from their titles, and he completely regarded Yang Wu as his courtier.
If he treats his own courtiers, Zhu Wen should be an edict, not the current letter.
Don't look at this as just a small difference, but in fact, this is already treating Wu as an equal country, not as his courtier.
That's why Yin Wengui said that Zhu Wen had a little sincerity.
Of course, whether Zhu Wen is sincere or not is not the most important thing, the most important thing is whether to agree to Zhu Wen's suggestion.
At present, although the state of Wu has been established, Yang Wu still regards the Tang Dynasty as orthodoxy, and takes the elimination of Zhu Wen's pseudo-Liang and the revival of the Tang Dynasty as the slogan.
Therefore, on the bright side, Yang Wu is naturally not good to negotiate peace with Zhu Wen directly, but as mentioned in Zhu Wen's handbook, it is possible for everyone to reach an agreement secretly.
Therefore, the most important thing is whether it is beneficial to Wu to reach this tacit agreement now.
"Great King, the minister thinks that the reason why Zhu Wen wants to negotiate peace with our country at this time should be because he feels the great threat of the King of Jin, so he wants to remove the threat of our country in the south to him, so as to concentrate his forces to deal with the King of Jin!"
"The minister thinks that although the king of Jin has defeated the Liang army in the battle of Luzhou, the situation of Liang being strong and Jin being weak has not changed."
"If the king reaches a peace agreement with Zhu Wen at this time, so that Zhu Wen can concentrate his forces against the king of Jin, I am afraid that the king of Jin will be difficult to support. Therefore, the minister felt that he should not agree to this peace agreement! Guo Chongtao said first.
Of course, these people present also knew that they had promised Zhu Wen for the time being, and when the real situation required it, they could turn their faces at any time, but that would damage the credibility of Wu Guo and the reputation of Yang Wu himself, so it was better not to agree from the beginning.
"The minister also felt that agreeing to negotiate peace at this time would only bind our army, and it would not be of much significance. As for Ma Yin's side, although this time because of Yang Shihou's timely rescue, our army failed to successfully break through Tanzhou, but after this battle, Ma Yin's strength has been greatly weakened, and it is even more difficult to cope with our army's attack. Yang Shihou can be saved for a while, can he still be saved for a lifetime? Yan Keqiu also thinks that he should not agree.
In their opinion, Zhu Wen's strength is still very strong, and Li Cunqiao and other forces alone still can't fight against him, so Wu Guo must also join in and suppress Zhu Wen with Li Cunmiao.
Yang Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, he originally agreed with a ceasefire with Zhu Wen in his heart, not only to facilitate the strategy of unifying the south first, but also to allow Zhu Wen to try his best to suppress Li Cunmiao, lest the Liang State in this life be destroyed earlier than in history because of Yang Wu's influence.
Of course, Yang Wu can also understand the thoughts of Guo Chongtao and others.
Zhu Wen has been dominant in the world for more than ten years, and he has been the overlord of the world for many years, and when he was at his strongest, Huainan had to look at his face and act, it can be said that he has accumulated power for a long time, and he can't change everyone's opinion of him all at once.
So now, although Zhu Wen's strength has suffered a small setback, these people still regard him as the previous Zhu Wen and do not realize the great changes in the situation in the future.
Only Yang Wu came from later generations, so he naturally knew the trend of the situation in the future, Zhu Wen continued to lose in the battle with Li Cunqing, especially the major defeat in the Battle of Baixiang, and Zhu Wen's strength was finally surpassed by Li Cunqing.
"It seems that it is necessary to analyze the evolution of the situation with them in the future, otherwise this truce will only be unanimously opposed by everyone!" Yang Wu thought in his heart.
