Chapter 219: Go to Jiangdong in person
ps
In order to open up the southern market, revitalize the economy, and develop the people's livelihood, the people in Hexi decided to submit a table to the Jin Dynasty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Unexpectedly, after reaching a consensus on the general direction, everyone disagreed on the selection of the envoy.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, most of the guards insisted on their own opinions, and they had to go to Jiangdong in person.
As soon as this statement came out, it was fiercely opposed by the majority of people.
Du Jin put on a master's posture for the first time since Wei Shuo became the master of Guzang and taught him a lesson in public.
It can be said that he did not save a trace of face for Wei Shuo, and directly reprimanded him for acting rashly.
"Master, don't be angry, don't be anxious, the reason why I want to go to Jiangdong in person is because I have my own reasons."
"Reason? Hum! For the sake of the teacher, you are carried away by a series of victories, and you are a little carried away. ā
Du Jin was full of foaming stars, and his fingers pointed at Wei Shuo and reprimanded him loudly.
"Now that Longyou has been decided, there is still instability in various places, and it is time for you to sit in Guzang and deter Xiaoxiao."
"What do you think you don't know how important it is, but what do you want to go to Jiankang?!"
"What's there to see about Jiankang? Maybe it's not as prosperous as our aunt. ā
Wei Shuo knew that this choice was indeed a bit Meng Lang, but when he thought that it was the only opportunity in front of him, he couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart.
He knew the trend of history very well, and he also knew that the Eastern Jin Dynasty would not survive for a few years.
In a few years, Sun En will work together, and Liu Yu, the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty, will take advantage of the situation and gradually complete the great cause of usurping the Jin.
It can be said that the Eastern Jin Dynasty is the last period of calm before the storm.
And Hexi also seems to be in danger, but in fact it is as stable as Mount Tai.
The Northern Wei Dynasty had just finished its campaign, and Tuoba was busy rectifying internal affairs and was temporarily unable to expand externally.
As long as the Northern Wei Dynasty does not launch, how can the Hou Qin family dare to easily brush the tiger whiskers in Hexi?
He can take advantage of this to take a trip to Jiangdong, firstly, to personally negotiate trade cooperation with all parties in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and secondly, he can also take away a few poor talents.
"What General Du said is very true, as the lord of Hexi, it is indeed not appropriate to leave Guzang without permission."
Zhang Zhan persuaded eagerly: "My lord, right now, the marriage between Qin and Wei is intended to peep into my Hexi. ā
"At this critical juncture, how can you leave your post without permission and go to Jiankang, where the future is unpredictable?"
Wei Shuo waved his hand to signal everyone not to get excited, and then turned his head to look at Cui Hong and Zong Chang, who were silent.
"Du Shi, Zhong Xuan and others all advised Shuo not to go to Jiangdong, I don't know what Xuanbo and Deguang think about this?"
Cui Hong, who was originally like a statue, lightly stroked his long beard under his chin when he heard this, groaned slightly, and only said his opinion after careful consideration.
"Today, Dadu Hu is in charge of the twenty-two counties of Qinshuo and Liangsha, and there are nearly three million people under his rule."
"It can be said that thousands of lives, as well as the safety of the entire state, are all related to the lord alone."
"Therefore, you must be cautious in your every move, and no matter how cautious you are, you can't be careless in the middle."
"This is not only responsible for Dadu Hu himself, but also responsible for the upper and lower levels of Hexi."
"Since the safety of most of the capital is so important, it is up to the ministers to consider the trip to Jiangdong carefully."
"If everyone agrees that going to Jiangdong is dangerous, most of them naturally don't need to be in danger."
"On the contrary, if the trip to Jiangdong is not dangerous, the minister thinks that it is not impossible to escort most of the capital to Jiankang."
"Uncle Xuan, you ...... What is your heart? Do you want to trap the lord to death? ā
"Jiang Zuo is the world of the family, and the lord has repeatedly been enemies of the family, I heard that Suo Chengming also ran to the Eastern Jin Dynasty."
"In case of an accident, how can we ensure that most of the capital is safe?"
Originally, everyone's attitude had been relaxed, but Zhang Zhan made the situation turn around when he mentioned Suo Chengming.
Since this incident has been a long time, only the earliest group of staff who followed Wei Shuo know the ins and outs.
Other newcomers such as Jiang Ji, Zhai Yu, Du Xuan, Wei Qian, Jiang Gong and others all don't know why, and even Cui Hong, Cui Xiao and others don't know either.
Subsequently, Zhang Zhan talked about the competition between Wei Shuo and the Dunhuang family again.
Only then did everyone realize that most of the capital guards still had such a number one mortal enemy.
To be honest, if Zhang Zhan hadn't suddenly mentioned Suo Chengming today, I'm afraid Wei Shuo himself would have been unable to remember this person.
After the city of Guzang was broken, Suo Chengming lost his trace, which made him think that Suo Chengming had taken refuge in Western Qin or Later Qin.
It wasn't until recently that it was found out that Suo Chengming had fled to the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Hanzhong all the way south.
Now that so many years have passed, who knows what the situation is like for Suo Chengming in the Eastern Jin Dynasty?
In case he is in a high position, Wei Shuo's rash visit is tantamount to throwing himself into a net.
"You guys are worried, the Suo family belongs to a wealthy family in Hexi, and it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Jiangdong family."
"When Suo Chengming arrived in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was not easy to get ahead." Wei Shuo is quite confident in this.
Think about it, even Lu Xun, who was born in the Fan Yang Lu clan, was forced to rebel, let alone Suo Chengming.
"Okay, take 10,000 steps back, even if Suo Chengming becomes an official of Jiankang."
"The imperial court will not risk harming a foreign envoy who has traveled thousands of miles to Jiankang to pay tribute for the sake of just asking for Chengming."
"Otherwise, once it spreads, will the court still have a reputation?"
"Without the support of the imperial court, a little Suo Chengming is not worried."
"Besides, I didn't go to Jiangdong alone, and I still have accompanying guards by my side, so even if there is a hidden arrow attacking, it is enough to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Zong Chang bowed his head slightly and said: "The lord's words are very reasonable, most of them are in charge of several states, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty will definitely be afraid." ā
"Moreover, the imperial court has always been tolerant of the subject country, as long as it does not offend powerful people or commit heinous crimes, there should be no danger."
"That's right, hahaha." Then Wei Shuo stood up heroically, glanced around at everyone, and laughed loudly.
"Shuo has always been brave and fearless and heroic, before leading tens of thousands of Central Plains outcasts to rise in Gaochang, and then east into Yumen Pass, all take the land of Hexi, but also in the wolves surrounded by surprise attack Shuofang, a small Jiankang why can't go? If I don't go, if I am known by outsiders in the future, won't it make the heroes of the world laugh? ā
Song Miao stood up abruptly and shouted, "Lord, don't be rash." ā
Wei Shuo waved his hand, stopped the emotional crowd, and said in a firm tone: "Don't worry, everyone, listen to what you say." ā
"I insisted on going to Jiankang, in addition to the so-called tribute, I also wanted to see with my own eyes the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is the Zhengshuo of China."
"You all know that Shuo grew up outside the territory since he was a child, and he only returned thousands of miles away because he longed for the Heavenly Empire."
"Unexpectedly, it happened that China encountered a thousand-year-old trouble, and I thought that I had no hope of seeing Chinese civilization in this life."
"Who knew that there was a chance to go to Jiangnan today, the Eastern Jin Dynasty claimed to have kept the clothes of Huaxia, Shuo really wanted to see it."
"In addition, there must be a lot of depressed talents in Jiangnan, and I want to take the opportunity to recruit a few."
Finally, Song Miao pondered for a moment and arched his hand: "It's not impossible for the lord to want to go to Jiangdong, but he must make a complete plan. ā
"Please come down carefully, and I wish to listen to you."
"Just in case, three hundred elites from the guards, van army, and government soldiers will go south with the lord."
"In addition, let Xuan Bogong also follow you to Jiankang."
"Uncle Xuan was born in a wealthy family in the north, and he has been famous all over the world since he was a child, and with his mediation between the families, he will be able to keep the lord safe all the way."
finally persuaded everyone to agree to him to go to Jiankang in person, and Wei Shuo wrote a letter to Guo Quan, the assassin of Yizhou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
expressed his inner affection to Guo Quan, and implored him to convey Wei Shuo's request to worship the Son of Heaven to the imperial court on his behalf.
Guo Quan did not dare to slack off after receiving the letter, and hurriedly reported the details to Jiankang.
As soon as the news reached Jiankang, it caused a wave.
Speaking of which, Wei Shuo is also well-known in Jiangdong, after all, he forced Hou Qin Yao Chang to ask for help from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
However, the Eastern Jin Dynasty still has little understanding of Hexi, and they don't know what kind of person this Wei Dadu protector is.
Sima Yao, the Son of Heaven, issued an order to allow Wei Shuo to enter the Hajj, and at the same time ordered Guo Quan, the assassin of Yizhou, to report the situation in Hexi.
Before the Divine Decree arrived in Hexi, Wei Shuo had already left Guzang and headed south.
Before leaving, Wei Shuo ordered the suspension of all military operations, ordered the general's mansion to start reorganizing the army, and expanded the four-compartment infantry on the basis of the original sixteen-compartment professional soldiers.
After making arrangements for the expansion of the army, he announced the latest personnel adjustments to the whole army.
Du Jin was transferred to the governor of Shazhou, and he was stationed in Gaochang to take care of the Western Regions.
Duan Ye stepped down as the director of the Military Division, was transferred to the governor of Liangzhou, and was stationed in Guzang with four carriages to guard Hexi.
Li Wei served as the governor of Shuozhou, and the six-compartment infantry cavalry was stationed in the Hetao to prevent the Northern Wei Dynasty from Tuoba Xianbei.
Wang Maide succeeded Duan Ye and was transferred to the head of the Military Department of the General's Mansion to assist Wang Zhenwei in taking charge of the daily official affairs of the whole army.
Jiang Fei served as the governor of Qinzhou, and commanded the six-compartment foot cavalry to garrison Shangqi in case of Later Qin Yao Chang.
During Wei Shuo's absence, Wang Zhenwei took the position of Zuo Sima to supervise the military affairs of Shaliangshuo and Qin Prefectures on his behalf; Song Miao and Cui Hao took the position of controlling the long history, overseeing the military and political affairs of the four states on his behalf, handling all important military and political affairs, and the rest of the people performed their duties.
After arranging everything, Wei Shuo took Cui Hong, Fuqu Mengxun, Kang Long, and his wife Meng Yao, under the protection of three hundred guards, and set off for Jiankang.
According to the planned route, he first went to Chengdu to visit Guo Quan, the assassin of Yizhou, and received the decree of the Son of Heaven, and then went to Jiankang.
