In the spring of the twentieth year of the Taiyuan Dynasty, Jiangdong, which was originally like a pool of stagnant water, became noisy.

Somehow, King Huiji, who has always been able to get by, suddenly raised his profile and vigorously advocated the Northern Expedition.

Sima Daozi wrote a letter to invite himself to the Northern Expedition, which caused an uproar inside and outside the government and the opposition.

Originally, everyone thought that Sima Daozi was drinking and talking nonsense, but the next day he actually wrote a letter to request the Northern Expedition, and also came up with a specific strategy.

In this way, the government and the opposition no longer dare to wait and ignore it.

However, what puzzled everyone was that King Huiji, who had always been known for his mediocrity, suddenly remembered the Northern Expedition?

Originally, the Son of Heaven was very jealous of the power of the Huiji King, and now he is worried about the success of his Northern Expedition.

Wouldn't the merit, power, and influence of King Huiji be even greater? Who can control it?

Even if King Huiji is from the royal family, Sima Yao may not be able to sleep and eat.

As a result, the Son of Heaven secretly instructed a group of henchmen to attack the king of Huiji in the court and oppose the Northern Expedition.

Wang Xun, Xu Miao and other courtiers said everything.

Among them, Wang Xunkou quoted scriptures and classics from the river, and took out the failed examples of the Northern Expedition such as Huan Wen and Yu Liang as the basis for opposing the Northern Expedition.

However, this time, the Son of Heaven obviously underestimated Sima Daozi's determination.

No! To be precise, Sima Yuanxian's determination was underestimated.

Seeing that Sima Daozi would be drowned by the government and the opposition spitting Xingzi up and down, the Son of Heaven was about to hit King Huiji with one blow.

Sima Daozi dealt a heavy blow to the opposition, and he lifted Liu Yu and Hexi out as shields.

Through Liu Yu's introduction, the government and the opposition have a clear understanding of the situation in Hebei.

The opposition's argument that Hu Lu was powerful and invincible became a joke, and Wang Xun and Xu Miao no longer dared to shout.

In the description, Hebei is a piece of fatty meat, which can be eaten with your mouth open.

In order to ensure that the fat does not reach the teeth, Sima Daozi also proposed to join forces with Hexi.

As a result, the atmosphere of the government and the opposition has changed greatly, and all groups are excited.

Don't look at the fact that almost everyone was against the Northern Expedition at the beginning, it was because they didn't see the benefits.

Now we know that the Northern Expedition is not only riskless, but may be a great success.

As a result, some opponents, in order to profit from it, have changed course and thrown themselves into the ranks of support.

In the face of the surging trend, Sima Yao, the Son of Heaven, did not dare to refute everyone even if he was reluctant.

After the Northern Expedition was passed, the angry Son of Heaven sent someone to investigate privately and found that Hexi had colluded with King Huiji.

Immediately, the Son of Heaven was furious and summoned Liu Muzhi for questioning.

After Liu Muzhi saw the Son of Heaven, he immediately put on the appearance of a victim, implying that he was forced by King Huiji, so he had to agree to send troops to cooperate.

The Son of Heaven thought about it for a while, and then remembered that there would be a natural disaster in Hexi, and then he suddenly realized.

Hexi did not get involved with King Huiji, so that the Son of Heaven was relieved, and instead asked Liu Muzhi about the situation in Hebei.

It is not a secret that Hou Yan will go to war with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and almost everyone in the north knows about it.

Next, Liu Muzhi told the Son of Heaven about the dispute between Wei and Yan.

After hearing this, Sima Yao thought for a while, the reason why he opposed the Northern Expedition was because he didn't want Sima Daozi to make meritorious contributions.

It's just that now it seems that the Northern Expedition is unstoppable, so why can't he get a piece of the pie?

Besides, he has always claimed to be the king of Zhongxing, and now that he sees that there is a advantage in the north, he can't help but be interested in the Northern Expedition.

The next day, Sima Yao, the Son of Heaven, rarely expressed support for Sima Daozi's proposal, which shocked the government and the opposition.

This is the first time since the outbreak of the dispute between the prime minister and Sima Yao and Sima Daozi that they have reached an agreement.

If the government and the opposition come once, there is no objection from the government and the opposition to the Northern Expedition, and the only point of contention is who will be the chief general of the Northern Expedition.

However, this matter has nothing to do with Liu Muzhi.

When the matter came to an end, he was finally able to leave Jiankang and set off for Sanwu to buy grain.

……

Sanwu, generally referring to Wu County, Wuxing County and Huiji County, is the most prosperous place in Jiangdong.

Although it is early spring, people still feel the cold wind when walking in the wild.

In the carriage, Liu Muzhi leaned against the window, letting the cold wind blow his long hair.

"Hugh, do you know the land of Sanwu?"

"Sanwu?" Sima Xiuzhi frowned, bowed his head and fell into deep thought.

"Sanwu is the gathering place of Jiangdong families, such as Jiangdong Erhao (Yixing Zhou, Wuxing Shen), Wujun four surnames (Gu Lu Zhu Zhang), Huiji four surnames (Yu Wei Kong Xie) and other families, living in Sanwu for generations, the power is so strong that even the imperial court can't help them."

"Back then, Shen Chong rebelled against Wang Dun, if he hadn't been unlucky and was deceived and killed by Wu Ruyu, maybe he wouldn't have had to worry about his life."

"Even so, the Wu family was not punished, and his son avenged his father when he grew up and destroyed the Wu family with his own hands."

"Besides, the Yixing Zhou family, Zhou Xi, Zhou Xian's father and son also plotted to rebel one after another, but there was no fart after the incident was leaked."

"And the reason why the imperial court did not dare to punish Shen and Zhou severely was because they were afraid of the hope of the two families."

"Yixing Zhou and Wuxing Shen are known as Erhao, and there is even a saying of 'Jiangdong's Hao, Mo Qiang Zhou, Shen'."

"However, because the Zhou family and the Shen family have been involved in political turmoil many times, they have a bad relationship with the imperial court, and they are gradually surpassed by the four surnames of Wu County."

"If you want to achieve the wish of the capital protector, you must first obtain the understanding of the local heroes, otherwise you will ......"

Sima Xiuzhi rubbed his cheeks, which were a little cold by the wind, and continued: "In addition, the Heavenly Master Dao is another powerful force. ”

"Not only do ordinary people believe in the Tao of the Heavenly Master, but some children of the family are also Sun Tai's followers, such as Wang Ningzhi, the history of Huiji."

"In addition, Heavenly Master Dao has many sea boats in his hands, and if Right Sima wants to get sea fish, he has to rely on Heavenly Master Dao fishermen."

After listening to Sima Xiuzhi's introduction, Liu Muzhi not only had a headache.

The complexity of Sanwu's situation was completely beyond his imagination.

"In Hugh's opinion, who should we visit first?"

"Lord Hui, although the family and the Heavenly Master Dao are powerful, my subordinates don't approve of visiting them first."

"Otherwise, it will make the two major forces think that Hexi has something to ask them for, and they are likely to open their mouths."

"Your Excellency can first visit Yuan Shansong, the Taishou of Wu County, this person is Shang Shulang Yuan Qiaosun, born in the Yuan family of Chen County, and his ancestors have been high-ranking officials for several generations."

"Yuan Taishou is not a strong local family, and he is not a believer in the Heavenly Master Dao, his power is relatively weak, and he is easy to be persuaded by us."

"Then Yuan Taishou will dredge the Wu Jun family, take Wu Jun first, gain a firm foothold, and then talk about other things."

"Well, that makes sense."

Liu Muzhi bowed slightly, and secretly muttered the name Yuan Shansong in his heart.

After making up his mind, Liu Muzhi immediately ordered a diversion to Wu County and went to Hudulei (now Minhang District, Shanghai) to visit Yuan Shansong, the Taishou of Wu County.

When walking on the road, Liu Muzhi asked Sima Xiuzhi about Yuan Shansong's preferences, and learned that Yuan Shansong was rarely famous, erudite and literate, and good at music.

Everyone galloped all the way, and successfully arrived at the Hudu fortress in the afternoon of the next day, and Liu Muzhi ordered people to enter the barrier with most of the capital protection posts.

……

Liu Muzhi's southward trip to Sanwu attracted a lot of attention, among which Wang Ningzhi, the history of Huiji, was also inquiring about the whereabouts of the people in Hexi.

Wang Ningzhi is the second son of the sage Wang Xi, the elder brother of Wang Xian, and the second uncle of Wang Shenai.

He was not a talented person, nor was he a representative of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Even compared with other brothers, they can only be regarded as mediocre, and their lives are even more pedantic.

Historically, Sun En rebelled and led an army to attack Huiji.

As the Huiji Taishou, Wang Ningzhi not only did not organize an army to defend the city, but he also didn't believe that Sun En, who believed in the Five Doumi Sect like him, would rebel!

It wasn't until the rebels came down to the city that he had to believe it.

However, what makes people cry and laugh is that Wang Ningzhi stepped on the stars and walked to fight, worshiped God, and said that he wanted to invite ghost soldiers to help defend the city.

As a result, the city was breached, and the whole family was killed with him.

One of Wang Ningzhi's most famous things is probably that he married the talented girl Xie Daoyun as his wife.

And Xie Daoyun is much stronger than her husband Wang Ningzhi when facing the tiger wolf rebels.

She and a woman stepped forward with a sharp blade in her hand, facing the murderous demon king Sun En awe-inspiringly.

Sun En couldn't help but be heartbroken, and he didn't dare to hurt her.

And when Sun En wanted to kill her grandson Liu Tao, Xie Daoyun argued loudly: "The matter is in the king's gate, why do you care about other clans?" ”

"This child is his grandson Liu Tao, if you want to be punished, you would rather kill me first!"

spoke loudly, and the rebels were intimidated by it, and in the end, only Xie Daoyun and his grandson survived the Wang family.

At this time, in the county town of Shanyin County, Huiji County, Wang Ningzhi, the Taishou, was fiddling with Taoist instruments in the backyard of the palace and studying Taoism.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, with the prosperity of metaphysics, Taoism also developed, in addition to some Taoist families, there were many children of wealthy and powerful families who worshiped Taoism.

If her husband only had close contacts with Heavenly Master Dao, Xie Daoyun would probably complain at most.

But now that her husband wants to speak for the Heavenly Master and make trouble for the people of Hexi, this can't help but arouse her vigilance.

Xie Daoyun is not an ordinary woman, it can be said that she is a talented person, and she smells a trace of unusual smell from it.

Liu Muzhi went south to Sanwu just to buy food, what does it have to do with the Heavenly Master Dao?

Why did Sun Tai tell her husband to find trouble with the Hexi people? What are the untold conspiracies in it?

Looking at her husband who was being used like a fool, Xie Daoyun couldn't help but show bitterness.

No matter how she says, she is just a woman, and it is not good to directly interfere with her husband's decision.

Thinking of this, Xie Dao Yunqiang was unhappy in his heart, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Wang Lang, I heard that a few days ago, you sent a letter to the Huiji clan, not allowing them to sell grain to Hexi, why is this?" ”

Wang Ningzhi turned his head unhurriedly and said lightly: "For the husband to have his own plans, Ling Jiang, you are a woman, don't ask about this matter." ”

"You ......"

Xie Daoyun almost bit his silver teeth with hatred, and said secretly: "I don't care?!" No matter what, if you are sold, you have to count the money for others. ”

"That most of the capital guards the north, and he is the son-in-law of the royal family, with the support of the Son of Heaven behind him, you are just a little too guarded, why do you have to get along with other people in Hexi?"

"Besides, people just want to buy some food, and they don't offend our Wang family, why do you want to go against others?"

"Humph! Why didn't you offend the Wang family? If it weren't for the Dadu Guard, Shenai would have become the crown princess long ago, and my Wang family would have soared. ”

Looking at her husband with an angry face, Xie Daoyun suddenly realized.

No wonder as soon as Sun Tai's letter came, her husband complied with it, and it turned out that there was still this one in it.
