Chapter 468: Jiangdong is in chaos again

A p

Looking at Murong Lin, who was talking eloquently, don't look at Murong De with a smile on his face, but he was afraid in his heart.

Maybe even Murong Lin himself didn't know that his momentary performance actually brought him death.

Later, Murong De adopted Murong Lin's suggestion, and while he made peace with the Liaodong envoy, he began to secretly prepare to abandon Yecheng.

Murong De's choice to abandon Yecheng is understandable in terms of preserving his personal strength.

However, after he made the plan to move south, not only did he not inform Liaodong and Xindu in time, but also continued to trick the other party into sending troops.

From this point, it can be seen that Murong De no longer regards himself as the King of Houyan Fanyang, and has begun to seek benefits for the Nanyan group.

It was precisely because Murong De deliberately concealed that he kept Murong Sheng and Murong Hui in the dark, and brought ruin to Xindu in the future.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

When the situation in Hebei changed three times a day, Jiangdong was not going anywhere.

Even though months have passed, looking back at what happened that day still makes everyone feel terrified.

Wang Gong challenged Jiankang for the first time, and successfully forced Sima Daozi, the king of Huiji, not only to kill Wang Guobao, but also to write a letter to him to apologize.

After the incident subsided, in order to apologize to the local powerful faction, Sima Daozi also wrote to the imperial court, requesting that he be relieved of his posts as governor of China and foreign countries, and Lu Shangshu.

Although the Son of Heaven did not agree to the edict in the end, this gesture expressed the sincerity of the king of Huiji's intention to reconcile.

Perhaps thinking that his sincerity was not enough, Sima Daozi reported Wang Qiao's betrayal to Wang Gong again.

After sending Liu Jiaozhi to destroy Wang Diao, Wang Gong also depreciated himself, and the court also did not agree.

Although both sides expressed their intention of reconciliation after Wang Guobao was killed, the originally tense situation was restored to calm.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that between the center and the various towns, there is only a temporary peace.

After Wang Guobao's death, the relationship between Sima Daozi and Wang Gong not only did not ease, but became more and more tense.

Both sides knew that it was impossible for each other to live in peace, and both began to secretly plot to solve each other's problems in order to gain greater benefits for themselves.

Wang Guobao's killing was a helpless move made by Sima Daozi under internal and external pressure from Wang Gong and Wang Xun.

Later, he wrote a letter of apology, which greatly weakened the prestige of the Huiji King.

Although the situation was temporarily under control, Sima Daozi was obviously unhappy in his heart.

In fact, not only Sima Daozi was dissatisfied with Fang Zhen's dominance, but his son Sima Yuanxian also felt like a man.

Seeing Wang Gong wantonly trampling on the authority of the imperial court, Sima Yuanxian was very annoyed, and privately persuaded his father to get rid of Wang Gong as soon as possible.

Due to the death of Wang Guobao, Sima Daozi was left with one less available person.

There was no way, and he began to continuously strengthen the authority in the hands of his son Sima Yuanxian.

Under the pretense of the imperial court, he first appointed Sima Yuanxian as the general of the conquest, and then allocated the staff coefficient of the Jiwang Mansion to the other party.

In addition, Sima Daozi felt that the military strength in his hands was weak, so he began to reuse the brother of Sima Shang, the king of Chen.

Sima Shangzhi had a total of four brothers, except for Sima Xiu, who was serving in Hexi, the other three were all awarded official positions.

Sima Daozi thought that Sima Shang's brothers were talented, and used them as confidants to consolidate his own power.

Sima Shangzhi, the king of Chen, also lived up to expectations, and as soon as he entered Beijing, he suggested to Sima Daozi: "Now Fangzhen is strong, and the central power has naturally become smaller. ”

"Therefore, confidants should be arranged to serve as local officials to protect the imperial court."

Sima Daozi thought so.

In his opinion, it is not the northern forces that pose a threat to the imperial court at present, but the Fangzhen forces within Jiangdong that support troops and stand on their own.

But the town of all parties is a turnip and a pit, and anyone who moves it will cause turmoil.

Yuzhou Assassin Shi Yukai has always regarded Sima Daozi as the only horse, and in Sima Daozi's view, taking his own hands first should not cause turmoil.

Unexpectedly, what Sima Daozi did not expect was that his attempt to split Yuzhou caused strong dissatisfaction with Yuzhou's assassin Shi Yukai.

At the same time, the sequelae of killing Wang Guobao also began to appear.

In Yu Kai's view, Sima Daozi's proposal to sub-governor Yuzhou was precisely to unload the mill and kill the donkey again, so that he could become the second kingdom treasure.

In response to this, he was furious, and not only openly wrote a letter opposing the DPRK-China resolution, but even took a 180-degree turn in his stance.

Yu Kai immediately switched to Wang Gong's arms, and also sent his son Yu Hong to lobby Wang Gong and send troops to Qingjun's side again.

"Brother Qian Wang replaced Wang Guobao in power, not only did they not learn the lessons of the past, but they wanted to gradually weaken the towns."

"If the prince doesn't start earlier, once the court completes the layout, I'm afraid he won't let you go easily."

Wang Gong was originally jealous of Sima Shang's brother, and when he heard Yu Kai's bewitchment, his mind suddenly became hot, and he decided to raise troops for the second time.

This time it was much more lively than when he first started the incident, in addition to the original allies of Yin Zhongkan, Huan Xuan, and Liu Gaozhi, there was also a Yuzhou assassin Shi Yukai.

Everyone elected Wang Gong as the leader of the alliance, and under the pretext of exterminating the traitor Sima Shangzhi, they made an appointment to raise troops together.

Upon learning that Wang Gong had raised troops again, Sima Daozi, with the assistance of his son Sima Yuanxian, decided not to tolerate it and began to take more active measures.

The imperial court ordered the troops to be divided into two routes, one was led by Sima Shangzhi, the king of Chen, to defeat Yukai in Yuzhou and defend against the enemy in the west.

On the other hand, Sima Yuanxian served as the governor of the conquest and the false festival, and led the army to crusade against Wang Gong and defend against the enemy in the east.

In addition, Sima Daozi sent envoys to the Quartet to try to persuade Yu Kai, Huan Xuan, and Liu Gaozhi to retreat.

However, Yu Kai was heartbroken by Sima Daozi's killing of Wang Guobao, and immediately refused the court's intention to appease him.

Knowing that Sima Shangzhi's army was coming, Yu Kai immediately sent Runan Taishou Duan Fang to meet the battle.

The two sides fought a water battle at Cihu (i.e., Quarry Rock), the Yuzhou army was defeated, Runan Taishou Duan Fang was killed, and Yu Kai fled to Huanxuan.

The victory in the first battle made the king of Huiji overjoyed, and immediately promoted Sima Shangzhi to the history of Yuzhou assassination; Sima Huizhi is a hussar Sima and Dan Yang Yin; Sima Yunzhi is the history of Wu's country.

Subsequently, Sima Shangzhi and others led the army to take advantage of the victory and marched westward, but unfortunately lost at the hands of Huan Xuan at Baishi.

Seeing that the enemy was invincible, Sima Daozi intensified his efforts to appease him.

And Huan Xuan lost no time in saying that as long as Sima Daozi appointed him as the assassin of Guangzhou, he would agree to retire.

In fact, according to Huan Xuan's original intention, of course, he didn't want to leave Jingzhou and go to remote Guangzhou to take office.

And the reason why he made such a request is precisely what Huan Xuan is clever.

Huan Xuan knew very well in his heart that Sima Daozi would never let him stay in Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, Yongzhou and other key prefectures and counties.

However, as Huan Xuan, who is still white, he urgently needs a step to enter the body, that is, to assassinate the history of the famous position.

Guangzhou is far away in Lingnan, far away from the old land of the Huan clan - Jingzhou.

So, Sima Daozi readily agreed to Huan Xuan's request.

Soon the imperial court issued an edict appointing Huan Xuan as the governor of Jiaoguang Erzhou, General Jianwei, General Pingyue Zhonglang, Guangzhou Assassin History, and Fake Festival.

But later, although Huan Xuan accepted the appointment of the imperial court, he did not go to Guangzhou to take office.

Leveling Huan Xuan is equivalent to leveling the rebel forces on the Western Front, and then Sima Daozi focuses on the Eastern Front.

Liu Gongzhi's nature is repetitive, greedy, and he has no political foresight, and he still has contradictions with Wang Gong.

Sima Yuanxian sent Lujiang Taishou Gao Su to appease Liu Gaozhi, and promised Liu Gaozhi that after the matter was completed, Wang Gongzhi's position would be handed over to Liu Gaozhi.

After receiving Sima Daozi's handwritten letter, under the lure of the high-ranking official Houlu, Liu Gaozhi agreed to betray Wang Gong.

Taking advantage of the meeting with Wang Gong, Liu Gaozhi killed Wang Gong's confidant Yan Yan and led the people to surrender to the imperial court.

Subsequently, he sent his son-in-law Gao Yazhi and his son Liu Jingxuan to lead a surprise attack on Wang Gong's army with light cavalry.

Wang Gong was blindsided by this sudden blow, and his army was quickly defeated.

Originally, Wang Gong was going to flee back to Jingkou to defend it, but he didn't expect that the Beifu soldiers had already entered the city first.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Wang Gong had no choice but to flee to Qu'a (now Danyang) with his younger brother Wang Lu, and was unfortunately arrested.

After Wang Gong was arrested, he was soon executed by Sima Daozi's order.

Those killed with him were five sons, his younger brother Wang Shuang, and his henchmen Meng Pu and Zhang Ke.

With Wang Gong's death, the rebellion started by Wang Gong finally ended, but the impact of the rebellion was far from over.

Soon, another greater turmoil swept across Jiangdong and announced the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
