From the bottom of his heart, Wang Zhenzhi definitely didn't want turmoil in Fujian, after all, he himself had already arrived in Jinling, if there was any more chaos over there, who could guarantee that Yang Wu would not cut him down in anger?

Therefore, at most, Wang Shenzhi was guilty of negligence, in other words, Wang Shenzhi entrusted no one and did not handle the surrender properly.

Although Yang Wu was indeed very angry about this, he would not put all the blame on Wang Zhenzhi because of this, so he slashed him with a knife.

In that case, it will only benefit those who initiate rebellion.

After all, if Wang Zhenzhi is still there, the generals of Fujian still need to consider his attitude, and if he is allowed to persuade him to surrender, maybe he can achieve certain results.

However, if Wang Zhenzhi is cut down, other Fujian generals will fight to the death with the Wu army without a way out, which is obviously not in the interests of Wu.

However, as to whether Wang Zhenzhi should be punished or not, this point must be carefully discussed.

Yang Wu had just promised Wang Xianzhi all kinds of favorable conditions not long ago, and if they were all abolished so soon, he was afraid that it would affect Yang Wu's credibility.

But if you don't punish at all, it seems a little unreasonable.

Although the turmoil in Fuzhou was not intentional by Wang Zhenzhi, as the lord of Fujian, he couldn't even do this little thing, and Yang Wu punished him as it was right.

"My lord, in the opinion of the ministers, if it is determined that there is a turmoil in Fuzhou and our army is forced to move troops, then Wang Zhenzhi must be punished. Specifically, the minister thought that at least his title of Duke of Min could no longer be obtained, and besides, all his sons who participated in the rebellion should have their preferential treatment revoked! "At this point, Gao Miao is still very tough.

You must know that today's Wu State, including those who are posthumously sealed, has a total of eight national dukes, and even Yang Wu's father-in-law Zhou Ben and Wang Maozhang, who have made outstanding military achievements, have not been canonized as national dukes now.

As for his heirs, the same is true, before it was for the sake of the king's review of the surrender of Natu to give them preferential treatment, but now that it is necessary to seize Fujian by force, these preferential treatment is naturally gone.

"The minister seconded the proposal, and not only Wang Shenzhi and his sons, but also some of his subordinates who received preferential treatment, must also re-examine their treatment according to what they do next!" Zhou Yin and others also have similar opinions, basically thinking that Wang Xianzhi and others should be punished to a certain extent.

Seeing this, Yang Wu didn't say more, and turned to discuss other issues.

In the end, when the ministers were about to leave after discussing it, Yang Wu suddenly said: "Yin Shangshu, some time ago, you often dealt with Wang Shenzhi, and you must be the most familiar with him. Later, you and Fan Yu will go to meet him and ask him about the specific situation in Fuzhou and detailed information from other places, but don't mention today's incident for the time being! ”

"Yes, I obey!" Yin Wengui hurriedly replied.

After dismissing the ministers, Yang Wu also went back to the harem to rest.

A few days later, new and definite news came, Li Chengding not only ambushed the invading enemy troops in Jianyang, but also thoroughly figured out the process and inside story of the Fuzhou Revolution through the captives.

support, no one among the ministers felt that Li Chengding's decision was wrong.

And Yang Wu summoned the ministers at the first time and announced to them that he would send troops to quell the rebellion.

Yes, it was to send troops to quell the chaos, not to send troops to seize Fujian.

In any case, before this, Wang Zhenzhi had publicly announced that he would serve Yang Wu, which means that Fujian is already the territory of Wu, so now sending troops to Fujian is naturally a peaceful rebellion.

In addition to announcing that he would put down the rebellion, Yang Wu also announced that he would reduce the title of Wang Shenzhi to the Duke of Langya County as a punishment.

"The prince of Fujian knows that you, as the former envoy of the Wuwei Army and the observer of Fujian, have not been able to arrange even a little thing, so that now it is a big thing. Lone is ready to reduce your title to the Duke of Langya, can you be convinced? Above the court, Yang Wu asked in a deep voice.

Since Yin Wengui and Fan Yu came to visit suddenly a few days ago, although they didn't say it explicitly, Wang Xianzhi naturally understood that there must be something wrong with Fuzhou, which made him feel frightened.

Before leaving, he made careful arrangements, not only leaving his eldest son Wang Yanhan to take charge of the overall situation in his place, but also leaving many confidant generals who supported the surrender of Wu to assist Wang Yanhan.

In addition, many of the generals who had previously opposed surrender were temporarily deprived of their military powers, and Wang Yanjun, who was particularly fiercely opposed, was directly placed under house arrest.

In his view, with these measures, the situation in Fuzhou should be solid and there will be no problems.

So he even guessed at one time whether it was Yang Wu who sent someone to make the incident, and deliberately pretended not to know, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew that it was impossible.

Now that he, the lord of Fujian, has come to Jinling to meet him, and the surrender is almost decided, there is no need for Yang Wu to make any extraneous matters in this case.

Since it is not an extraneous branch of Yang Wujie, then there must be something wrong with Fuzhou.

And once something really went wrong in Fuzhou, making all the surrenders agreed upon before in vain, then it was difficult to say what fate he would face next, so he was worried about it a lot during this time.

So now I heard that Yang Wu just reduced his title of Duke of Min to the Duke of Langya County, and did not do anything else to deal with him, which is simply too magnanimous to be magnanimous, so Wang Zhenzhi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you for the kindness of the king, I dare not have any objections!" ”

Seeing his attitude, Yang Wu's face finally improved a lot.

In any case, Wang Xianzhi is also a figure who has been in charge of Fujian for more than 10 years, and he still has a great influence in Fujian, and he also has a lot of fame in the whole world, and after occupying Fujian in the future, he can also be used to temporarily stabilize the situation in Fujian.

Therefore, if Wang Zhenzhi can be appeased, it will still be good for Wu Guo.

At this time, Wang Xianzhi suddenly asked cautiously: "The king, the rebel son of the minister rebelled in Fuzhou in a vain attempt to compete with the king's heavenly army, which is really a great crime. However, there must have been many of the ministers' subordinates who were only forced to take refuge in him due to the situation. If the king agrees, the minister is willing to go to the front line of Fujian in person to persuade the king of Fujian to surrender in the future! ”

He took a certain risk in saying this, not only could he not make meritorious contributions, but it would also arouse Yang Wu's suspicion, making him feel that he was not planning to contact his old ministry and prepare to plot revival.

However, after careful consideration, he felt that it was his own business whether he mentioned it or not, but whether he used it or not was Yang Wu's business.

If he didn't say a word, he was afraid that it would make Yang Wu suspicious; And now that he has put it forward generously, maybe Yang Wu will not have other ideas.

His judgment was accurate, and after Yang Wu heard it, he really didn't think of other aspects.

However, for Yang Wu, since the war has already started, it is necessary to use thunder means to deter others, so he does not intend to persuade anyone to surrender again, everything is solved by force.

Of course, if someone took the initiative to surrender, he would not refuse.

"The public of Langya County has a heart! But there is only one chance, for those people in Fuzhou, Lone has already given them a chance, but they are not sure, is Lone still asking them not to succeed? As for those who sincerely want to take refuge in Lone, even if Lone no longer sends people to persuade them to surrender, can't they take the initiative to surrender? So there's no need to mention it again! ”

"Yes, the minister is reckless!" Wang Xianzhi hurriedly replied.

At this time, apart from scolding his eldest son who was not angry and the second son who was even more unfilial, he couldn't care about anything else.

It would be good for him to even save his own life, and as for his sons, he didn't have to worry, his youngest sons were still young and could not participate in this rebellion, so it must be no problem to save his life, but the preferential treatment that should have been there before was naturally not there at this time.

After Yang Wu announced the disposition of Wang Shenzhi and others, he then ordered Zhou Ben to be the envoy to Fujian and Liu Cun to be the deputy envoy to Fujian, to march from Zhejiang, and attack Fuzhou together with Li Chengding, who was already in Jianzhou, to quell the rebellion.

……

Outside the city of Jianzhou, looking at the city wall with a slightly familiar feeling in front of him, Wang Yanyu deeply felt the impermanence of the world.

Just a few days ago, when he sent troops from Jianzhou to prepare to capture Jianyang, he was still full of confidence and wanted to establish a career.

However, only a few days later, he was attacked head-on less than ten miles south of Jianyang City, suffering heavy casualties.

The casualties of the former Jianzhou defenders are just temporary incorporating troops, and their loyalty is not guaranteed after the battle; But the 3,000 troops he brought with him from Fuzhou, most of them were his old troops, and their combat effectiveness and loyalty were fully guaranteed.

In that ambush battle, 2,000 of the 5,000 people he brought with him were his old troops, but less than 300 people were left who managed to escape back to Jianzhou.

This loss was really large, so much so that after returning to Jianzhou, he immediately sent Chen Ming back to collect the rout, hoping to minimize the loss.

In the past few days, they have also gathered nearly 1,000 defeated troops, but compared to the 5,000 people when they set out on the expedition, they still lost too much.

In addition to the loss of the army, it was his confidence that was hit even more.

He thought he had been very careful, so how did the Wu army suddenly arrive in Jianyang, and why was he able to accurately set up an ambush in that grove?

Could it be that Wu Jun is really so strong that he can even predict their every move?

If so, do they still have any hope of winning?

Wang Yanyu sighed in his heart, but at this time, there were scouts rushing in the distance: "General, it's not good, the Wu army has already come over, and there are tens of thousands of people!" ”

"What? Called so soon? Wang Yanyu's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.
