In October of the second year of Wuyi, Wang Yanjun and Wang Yanyu joined forces to launch a mutiny in Fuzhou and seized power.

In order to stabilize the situation in the city as soon as possible and appease the people, Wang Yanjun ordered the city gate to be closed and no one was allowed to go out, so as to slow down the leakage of the news of the mutiny; On the other hand, he ordered that a small part of the property obtained by Wang Yanhan's cunning and robbery be returned to the people, as for the treasures that lost the original owner or were difficult to distinguish the original owner, they were naturally left by Wang Yanjun.

Those folk girls who were snatched by Wang Yanhan were all put back, and a small amount of compensation was paid to each.

After these measures were implemented, the entire city of Fuzhou was cheering, and both the military and the people were full of praise and gratitude to Wang Yanjun.

Wang Yanjun's prestige among the people was unparalleled for a while.

Hearing the heartfelt words of gratitude from the people, Wang Yanjun couldn't help but feel very proud in his heart.

He immediately ordered a recruitment announcement, claiming that in order to resist the Wu army's attack, they must expand their military strength and recruit new soldiers.

It's a pity that this time Wang Yanjun's recruitment plan fell through.

Although in various rumors before, Wang Yanjun and others did their best to describe how terrible Wu Jun was, which made many people who did not know the truth afraid of Wu Jun, but not many people were willing to let these people join the army to resist Wu Jun.

After all, everyone is not stupid, everyone has heard of the strength of the Wu army, and even Wang Zhenzhi does not dare to resist, preferring to surrender, so it is obviously even more unfeasible to rely on them, a rabble recruited temporarily.

Therefore, Wang Yanjun's first recruitment operation ended in failure.

Annoyed and angry, Wang Yanjun was ready to tear through his disguise and send people to force the people to become soldiers.

Fortunately, Wang Yanyu's mind was still sober at this time, and he knew that it was not advisable to forcibly force the people to become soldiers, not only would it cause all the popularity that he had previously gained would be lost, but at the same time, the soldiers who were forcibly recruited would also be demoralized, and they might flee on the battlefield.

That is bound to lead to failure.

Under his strong persuasion, Wang Yanjun decided to take out a large amount of money and grain in the treasury to recruit soldiers.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, no matter how strong the Wu army is, as long as the reward is enough, then there will always be someone who is willing to take risks.

This time, in just two days, Wang Yanjun successfully recruited an army of more than 7,000 people, plus the original garrison of Fuzhou, Wang Yanjun was able to control an army of 40,000 people, and finally had the strength to fight with the Wu army.

If they can bring the armies of the other four states under their control, then their chances will be greater.

Unfortunately, no one knows what the other four states were about the mutiny.

"Third child, it's not okay to wait like this, you have to take the initiative. Our army in Fujian was in order to guard against the attack of the Wu army. Mainly concentrated in Jianzhou and Fuzhou, now Fuzhou has been controlled by us, if Jianzhou can also be controlled, then Fujian's army is basically under our control. So for my brother decided to go to Jianzhou in person! ”

Wang Yanyu knows a lot more about military affairs than Wang Yanjun.

He knew that if he couldn't control Jianzhou before all parties reacted at this time, after the news leaked, Jianzhou would most likely choose to surrender to the Wu army.

Now the leading general of the Jianzhou army is Wang Shenzhi's trusted general, named Chen Tao, who is a veteran who followed Wang Chao back then, and is extremely loyal to Wang Shenzhi.

When Wang Shenzhi left Fujian, he had told him that he would surrender to the Wu army, so if he did not take measures, this Chen Tao would most likely surrender to Wu according to Wang Shenzhi's order.

Wang Yanjun's face flashed with joy, "If the eldest brother can go to Jianzhou in person, he will definitely be able to control the situation there." I don't know how many troops the eldest brother needs to bring? ”

If Wang Yanyu was still his partner before controlling Fuzhou, now that he has controlled the situation in Fuzhou, the relationship between the two is a little delicate.

In this mutiny, Wang Yanyu's strength was no less than him, and Wang Yanyu's prestige in the army was even higher than him, which would undoubtedly pose a certain threat to him.

If Wang Yanyu can take the initiative to choose to leave Fuzhou, this will undoubtedly be beneficial to both of them.

"Three thousand is enough!" Wang Yanyu said confidently.

In fact, he also knew that if he proposed too many troops, he was afraid that Wang Yanjun would not agree, after all, Fuzhou might also face an attack by the Wu army.

Now Wang Yanyu still needs to cooperate with him, so he chose to only take the 3,000 pro-troops under his original command to Jianzhou.

If he can succeed in capturing the army of Jianzhou, then he will have the opportunity to go further.

"Is 3,000 a little too little? In case Chen Tao is unwilling to join our side, the eldest brother will have no choice but to fight him. With 3,000 troops, I'm afraid there is no chance of winning at all! Wang Yanjun said with some concern.

Although he wished that Wang Yanyu would take a few soldiers away, he also understood that the establishment of the state was of great significance to them, and they had to control it before they could carry out the next plan.

"Third child, don't worry! For the brother, he didn't go to fight hard with Chen Tao, but outwitted, and he didn't use much troops. ”

Wang Yanjun didn't know what method he was going to use to outwit him, but seeing that he didn't say anything, Wang Yanjun didn't ask much at the moment, and happily agreed to allocate 3,000 troops to him.

Early the next morning, Wang Yanyu sent troops from Fuzhou to the north and hurried all the way to Jianzhou.

In fact, Wang Yanyu's so-called outwitting is not really going to use any wisdom, the method he is ready to use is just the four words "soldiers are noble and fast".

In his opinion, Jianzhou had 20,000 troops, plus the convenience of the city, if it was stormed, it would be impossible to defeat Chen Tao with only 3,000 of them.

Their only chance was to launch a surprise attack while Chen Tao was unaware of the Fuzhou Mutiny.

In the first time after the mutiny, Wang Yanyu took into account the importance of the blockade news, the entire Fuzhou city was allowed to enter but not leave, and some dangerous places outside the city were also garrisoned to strictly prevent the spread of news.

At this time, the benefits of the blockade of the news were reflected, and when Wang Yanyu led his 3,000 men to Jianzhou, Jianzhou did not get any news of the Fuzhou mutiny.

At this time, Chen Tao and others in the city thought that Wang Yanhan was still controlling the situation in Fuzhou.

Not only that, the soldiers of the Jianzhou army all felt that since Wang Zhenzhi was ready to surrender to Wu, the war between the two sides could not be fought, which made the vigilance on the Jianzhou side relax a lot.

So when Wang Yanyu arrived in Jianzhou, all he saw was the open city gate and a few lazy guards chatting casually at the city gate.

It can be said that Chen Tao was not prepared for Wang Yanyu's sudden arrival.

Seeing this situation, Wang Yanyu was naturally not polite, and rushed into Jianzhou City with 3,000 soldiers and horses.

Soon after, Wang Yanyu successfully captured Chen Tao and others who were about to escape in the Assassin's Mansion.

At this point, most of the plan made by Wang Yanjun and the others has been successfully completed, and all that remains is how to control Jianzhou City and how to raid the Wu army to provoke Yang Wu and let Yang Wu help them get rid of Wang Shenzhi's problem.

At this point, even if Wang Yanyu's heart was relatively calm, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, but what he didn't expect was that just when he captured Jianzhou and had not yet completely controlled the city, a Wu army with a force of only 3,000 people had already arrived in Jianyang County, which was eighty miles away from Jianzhou.

……

"General, it is already a great crime for us to send troops without permission; If you attack Jianyang City privately, if this news spreads, I'm afraid it will cause chaos! ”

"Yes, what if the general's guess is wrong and there is no turmoil in Fuzhou? The rash actions of our army. If it provokes the resistance of the Fujian army, it may lead to an accident in the surrender of Fujian, and the general cannot afford this responsibility! Don't forget Liu Chongjing's case last year! ”

Outside Jianyang County, in the secret military camp of the Wu army, the generals persuaded their main general, Li Chengding.

Compared with the looseness of the Jianzhou army, the military discipline of the Wu army is naturally much stronger.

Although the possibility of war with Fujian had dropped dramatically after Wang Shenzhi personally went to Jinling for an audience, the vigilance of the Wu army had not decreased in the slightest.

Staying on guard at all times is a point that every elite army must do, and those elites of Wu State can naturally do it.

In the tent of the Chinese military camp, as the only hereditary successor of the Duke of Wu at present, Li Chengding inevitably shoulders great pressure.

Not only because of the prestige left by his father during his lifetime, but also because of this war, he was entrusted with the important task of being in charge of the Wu army in the direction of Shinshu.

Originally, according to the battle plan formulated by the Privy Council to pacify Fujian, the Wu army would dispatch more than 60,000 men to attack in three directions, of which the Zhejiang direction was the main attack direction, concentrating 40,000 troops, while the Jiangxi direction was only 20,000 people, in addition to Zhang Kezong's 5,000 naval troops would attack by sea.

Although Li Chengding's current position is only that of the commander, after he inherited his father's title, his status is above his boss Liu Xin.

In order to avoid confusion in command, and Yang Wu intended to give his brother-in-law more opportunities for meritorious service, so this time the Wu army in the Jiangxi direction was all commanded by Li Chengding.

For the first time, Li Chengding was naturally very cautious and cautious, although Wang Zhenzhi had already gone to Jinling, he still ordered all departments to remain vigilant, especially the news from Fuzhou in the recent period made him feel very bad.

Naturally, there are secret agents of Wu in the city of Fuzhou, and the messages that were unfavorable to Wu spread around the city some time ago, as well as Wang Yanhan's various wanton conquests and extortions in the city, all show that Fuzhou has the possibility of falling into turmoil.

All these circumstances have made Li Chengding and others more vigilant.

According to the agreement, the secret agent in Fuzhou should send someone to report the news every day, but there was no new news for three days, so Li Chengding would judge that there was indeed a change in Fuzhou!
