Chapter 414: Request for Audience

"Yan Han, Yan Jun, generals, Gu has decided to agree to King Wu's conditions and surrender to Wu to protect the family and prevent hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Fuzhou from suffering from the flames of war!" In the relatively simple palace of the Langya king, Wang Shenzhi summoned the officials of Fuzhou and several of his sons to announce his decision to them. Pen? Interesting?

"Don't be a king!"

"King Wu's condition is completely to let the king hand over the inheritance in his hands, and Wu Wanghao did not clearly state how he plans to place the king in the future. What if the king suddenly repents after arriving in Jinling? ”

……

As soon as Wang Zhenzhi's words fell, he was opposed by many people.

Among the many opponents, the most active is naturally Wang Yanjun, the second son of Wang Xianzhi.

In the conditions given by Yang Wu, other people have their own arrangements after arriving in Jinling, even those generals in Fujian, even if they will not have the same rich life as they do now after going to Jinling, they will not have a shabby life; However, if Wang Yanjun went to Jinling, he would face a different face.

Yang Wu clearly said that he would be held accountable for killing the Huainan envoy Zhang Zhiyuan, although Yang Wu also said that he would take into account Wang Xianzhi's dedication to the land and give him a light sentence, but how he would be treated lightly did not say clearly.

For Wang Yanjun, this is naturally unacceptable.

He hadn't sacrificed his consciousness for the sake of others, and he had no intention of being captured.

In the past few years, when Wang Shenzhi did not know how to face Huainan in various hesitations, Wang Yanjun secretly vigorously developed his own forces, and even many generals in the army secretly took refuge in him.

Some time ago, he even sent someone to Wenzhou to inquire about the news, but he didn't want to be lucky, so he actually connected with Zhao Kuangning, who was exiled to Wenzhou.

Although Zhao Kuangning is now down, he was also a feudal town at the beginning, with the land of Kyushu and nearly 100,000 troops, and his strength is better than that of today's Fujian.

Such a former hero, who was still a friendly force with Huainan at the beginning, and took the initiative to take refuge in Huainan, but now he is living a life of almost a prisoner, this result naturally made Wang Yanjun even more frightened in his heart, and even more reluctant for his father to choose to surrender.

"Father, although the Wu army is strong, my Fujian is remote, and it must be difficult for the Wu country to send too many troops to attack. And our army has a change in geographical advantages, and if we fight a battle, we may not be able to repel the Wu army! And even if our army was defeated in the end, my father could have fled to Lingnan to join Liu Yin, or he could flee overseas by boat. The world is big, why bother with surrendering the state of Wu to preserve the wealth? Wang Yanjun shouted loudly.

His words were still very demagogic, and many generals who didn't want to surrender in the first place shouted at this time.

However, Wang Zhenzhi had carefully considered these circumstances for a long time, and finally made a decision, how could he just change his mind now after listening to his two words?

Even if Fujian is remote, the Wu army can still do it if it wants to dispatch a forbidden army of 70,000 or 80,000, and the forbidden army of 70,000 or 80,000 is that Ma Yin, the king of Chu, can't resist it, and he will lose Yuezhou within a few months.

Even Ma Yin, whose strength is far above Fujian, can't resist it, so what hope does Fujian have to block the attack of the Wu army?

As for fleeing to Lingnan after the defeat, now Lingnan has already asked Yang Wu to surrender, although it is only a nominal submission, but Liu Yin may not welcome these lost dogs after the defeat.

As for fleeing overseas, perhaps young people like Wang Yanjun don't have the idea of returning to their roots in their hearts, but Wang Zhenzhi and other elderly people will never accept to be buried in a foreign land after death.

So he waved his hand to stop Wang Yanjun and the others, and then said with a hint of apology: "Yanjun, my father knows that this choice is very unfair to you, although it was your hand to kill Zhang Zhiyuan, but if you change to your father, I am afraid that you will make the same decision as you." So the father doesn't blame you for what happened in the first place. Now in order to protect the family, the father can only be sorry for you! ”

"Father!" Wang Yanjun's face was full of despair.

No matter how he has developed his power in the army in recent years, compared to Wang Zhenzhi, his prestige is far from enough.

When Wang Shenzhi made up his mind to surrender to Wu, no matter how much he objected, it was in vain, and he could not change Wang Shenzhi's decision at all.

Compared with Wang Yanjun's resolute opposition, his brother Wang Yanhan's attitude is difficult to explain.

From the point of view of his heart, he is naturally also opposed to surrender, if Fujian can continue to be controlled by the Wang family, in the future, when Wang Zhenzhi is gone, he Wang Yanhan, as the eldest son, is very likely to be the heir, that is, the new lord of Fujian.

Therefore, Wang Zhenzhi decided to surrender, which indirectly gave away his future things, and he was naturally dissatisfied.

However, unlike Wang Yanjun, Wang Yanhan was not caught in the matter of killing Zhang Zhiyuan, so he was able to look at the problem more rationally and understand better that his father's decision was the best choice.

And for those ordinary generals, whether to choose to surrender after a battle and see that the situation is not good, or surrender now, this actually has little impact on them, and the treatment they receive in the end is almost the same.

However, if they were lucky enough to repel the Wu army's attack in the war, then they would be able to continue to enjoy the wealth.

This kind of thing that has no harm but may be beneficial, they are naturally more willing to choose.

Of course, just like Wang Yanjun, when Wang Zhenzhi really made a decision, no one dared to jump out and resolutely oppose it.

Wang Shenzhi has been in charge of Fujian for ten years, and his means are very strong, and he has great control in Fujian, so ordinary people naturally dare not oppose it.

Under the strong pressure of Wang Shenzhi, the final decision to surrender was passed.

Wang Shenzhi quickly sent an envoy from Wu to inform him of his decision to surrender.

"The king is well aware of the righteousness, and the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the five states of Fujian is the great fortune of the people! I admire it below! "The envoy sent by Wu Guo this time is Pi Guangye, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

He is naturally much more humble and polite than Zhang Zhiyuan, who went to Fuzhou last time, even if he heard that Wang Zhenzhi was about to surrender, he still did not have any contempt, let alone any condescending posture.

This made Wang Shenzhi sigh in his heart, if the envoy sent by Huainan last time was such a humble and polite person, why did the relationship between the two sides become like this?

Even if Yang Wu will still ask him to surrender completely, because the relationship between the two sides is not as tense and antagonistic as it is now, presumably Yang Wu's conditions will be more generous.

And Wang Zhenzhi has a lot of worries, and it will not be so difficult to make a decision.

After sighing a few words in his heart, Wang Zhenzhi said to Pi Guangye: "Your envoy, since Gu has decided to surrender, then please ask your envoy to quickly send the news back to Jinling, so that His Royal Highness King Wu can learn the news as soon as possible!" ”

"Naturally, after I go back next time, I will send someone back to Jinling to report the good news to the king!" Pi Guangye said with a smile.

He has been in Fuzhou for many days, although Wang Zhenzhi has always been inclined to surrender, but he has never made up his mind, and has been entangled with Pi Guangye on the terms of surrender.

I didn't expect to make a decision suddenly today, which is also an unexpected joy.

Of course, he also knew that the reason why Wang Zhenzhi was like this must be because of the more frequent movements of the Wu army recently.

Some time ago, there was news that Wenzhou, Chuzhou, Jizhou, Fuzhou and other areas connected to Fujian have Wu troops moving on a large scale, obviously if Wang Xianzhi does not make a decision and wants to continue to delay, the Wu army may have to take action.

Wang Xianzhi's mood was obviously extremely complicated, and he hadn't adapted to the change in his mentality after surrendering, so after saying a few words to Pi Guangye, he lowered his head and didn't know what to say for a while, and the scene was a little embarrassing.

Seeing this, Pi Guangye naturally understood his feelings, and immediately talked to him about some customs and customs of Jinling, and comforted them that they would definitely have a comfortable and happy life after arriving in Jinling.

Wang Xianzhi smiled reluctantly, and after a while, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly said: "Your honor, although the old man has decided to surrender to the king, the old man has not yet met the king, I wonder if the old man can go to Jinling to meet the king in person in person recently?" Or to show the sincerity of the old man's surrender? ”

"Go to Jinling to meet the king?" Pi Guangye was a little surprised, but then he understood that Wang Xianzhi obviously still had some concerns in his heart.

He wanted to go to Jinling to meet Yang Wu before completely surrendering, and at least to see with his own eyes what kind of person Yang Wu was.

During this period, Wang Shenzhi naturally left his son in charge of Fujian, so that he could not only show Yang Wu his sincerity in surrendering, but also if he felt unsatisfactory after arriving in Jinling, then his son who stayed in Fujian could find another way out.

This practice is actually not new in this era, so Piguangye is not surprised.

He thought for a moment and replied: "There is no problem with this request of the king, but this matter is very important, and it needs to be reported to the king of my family." ”

"This is natural! This is natural! Wang Zhenzhi said again and again, and then said: "By the way, since the old man has returned to the Wu Kingdom, then the title of 'king' is still exempt!" If you are polite, you might as well call it your real name! ”

Pi Guangye hesitated slightly, then said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will call you Guogong below!" Here, I would like to congratulate Guogong, we will be officials of the same dynasty in the future! Please also accept the bow of the lower officials, and take care of each other in the court in the future! ”

Wang Xianzhi smiled and nodded, the previous embarrassment was reduced a lot, and he and Pi Guangye gradually chatted.

However, what he didn't notice was that after Wang Yanjun below heard that he was going to Jinling in person, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he seemed to have thought of some excellent idea.
