In October of the first year of Long'an, taking advantage of Xie Yan's defeat and death, and the prestige of the imperial court, Huan Xuan, under the instigation of his henchmen, rebelled.

As a result, a war related to the survival of the Jin family officially began.

After the oath of Jiangling, Huan Xuan personally wrote a brilliant essay.

He made people spread the word around, and counted the sins of the king's father and son.

"Yuan Xian's father and son have been in power for many years, and the soldiers are in trouble, and the sky is angry and resentful."

"The two verticals don't think about their own faults, they don't think about evil, they play the Son of Heaven in the palm of their hands, and they are jealous of the virtuous and the opposition."

"Duke Huan is wise and decisive, benevolence and righteousness are spread all over the world, and kindness benefits Sanxiang."

"Rebels, Qing Jun's side, Su Chaogang."

"Everywhere you go, you can't do it."

"If there is a person who captures the murderer, he will be rewarded with a thousand gold and sealed ten thousand households."

After the release of the article, it aroused strong repercussions inside and outside the government and the opposition.

I have to say that the dictatorship of the father and son of the king of Huiji has aroused the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people.

Especially since the rebellion in the southeast, it has aroused the indignation of countless people with lofty ideals.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, Huan Xuan's rebellion is very 'popular'.

If he had half of his father Huan Wen's means, he might be able to succeed in the end.

But it's a pity that Huan Xuanzhi is talented and sparse, and he looks forward to doing things.

It is said that after the oath, the army should take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and pounce on Jiankang with lightning speed.

But Huan Xuan didn't know what to think, maybe out of caution, or maybe there were other considerations.

In short, the speed of the Jingzhou army was too slow, it was slower than a snail, and it only took a few miles to move forward in a day.

Huan Xuan's slow action is equivalent to giving the opponent time to react.

Sima Yuanxian ordered Sima Shangzhi, the assassin of Yuzhou, to fight to meet the enemy, and on the other hand, he ordered martial law to build Kang.

And with the Jingyang War about to break out, people inside and outside Jiankang were panicked.

Some of the powerful families and ordinary people were worried about being affected by the war, so they fled west to Beijing.

But most people know that they can't stay out of it, so they have to resign themselves to their fate.

There are also a very small number of people who are unwilling to sit back and watch the flames of war ignite, and want to calm the Jingyang conflict on their own.

……

"Sir, sir, something is wrong!"

On this day, Sima Dewen broke into the post house in a panic and looked at Liu Muzhi with a pale face.

Unlike Sima Yuanxian, who acted aggressively, King Langya was much more steady.

As soon as he learned that Huan Xuan had rebelled, he immediately realized that the stormy Jin family was about to face an unprecedented catastrophe.

At present, the Son of Heaven is like a puppet, neither ability nor power can resolve the current crisis.

And he had no confidence in Sima Yuanxian's victory over Huan Xuan, so he had to run to Liu Muzhi for help.

"Your Highness, don't worry, speak slowly, what happened?" Liu Muzhi said calmly.

"Sir doesn't know, Gu just received news that Huan Xuan has sworn in Jiangling, and issued a crusade against him, and is raising troops to Jiankang."

"Huan Xuan has raised troops?"

Liu Muzhi couldn't bear the joy in his heart, and asked quietly: "When is it?" What is the situation now? ”

"Sima Yuanxian has sent Yuzhou Assassin Shi to meet the enemy, and he himself is arranging the defense of the capital."

Sima Dewen told Liu Muzhi about the current situation and the arrangement of the imperial court in a few words.

Liu Muzhi pondered for a moment and asked, "Why didn't Your Highness convene the courtiers to discuss countermeasures?" ”

"Alas, don't mention it!"

"Early this morning, 100 officials asked the court to resign, and more than half of them said that they were sick and could not go to the court."

"And the Huiji Palace's mansion was full of shouting and killing, completely ignoring the actual situation."

"Lone is really out of the question, so I have to come to Mr. for advice."

"Mr. Wanwang looks at King Yong's face and saves the Son of Heaven and the court." Saying that, King Langya looked at Liu Muzhi with a long look.

"Eh, Your Highness is serious, how can you stand by and watch?!" Liu Muzhi swore an oath.

Liu Muzhi's willingness to help somewhat put Sima Dewen at ease.

These days, he has personally learned how powerful Liu Mu is.

Even Sima Yuanxian couldn't help but fantasize, if Liu Yu was also there, with Liu Mu's plan, why would Huan Xuan worry about it?

"Your Highness, the situation is critical now, and the Beifu soldiers are trapped in the southeast, so they have no time to take care of Jiankang for the time being."

"For today's plan, only by trying to stabilize Huan Xuan first, and waiting for Liu Yu to return to the teacher can we hope to completely solve Huan Xuan."

"Alas, Lone thinks the same way, but ......"

When Sima Dewen thought of Sima Yuanxian, who was bent on going his own way, he didn't get angry.

At present, the power of the DPRK is controlled by Sima Yuanxian, although Sima Dewen is shrewd and has Liu Muzhi's move behind him, but he can only play the role of picking up the missing and filling in the gaps.

And this time, Sima Yuanxian was full of ambition and wanted to make contributions to Huan Xuan, where could he listen to other advice?

Liu Muzhi lowered his head and groaned for a while, and said in a solemn tone: "Your Highness, the current imperial court is weak, and we must try to avoid conflicts with Jingzhou." ”

"Why don't you secretly send an envoy, secretly with the will of the Son of Heaven, secretly meet with Huan Xuan, and try to persuade him to withdraw the army."

"Can this Huan Xuan agree to negotiate peace?"

"Whatever the outcome, you have to give it a try."

"Otherwise, when Huan Xuan defeats King Chen, I will want to negotiate peace at that time, and I am afraid that it will be too late to regret it."

Hearing this, Sima Dewen got up and paced back and forth in the hall, thinking for a long time and couldn't come up with a perfect solution.

Fundamentally speaking, Sima Yuanxian's reduction of Jingzhou was in line with the interests of the royal family.

If the time is ripe, King Langya will not make peace with Huan Xuan, but will only uproot the Huan family.

But the current situation is obvious, the imperial court does not have the strength to deal with Huan Xuan, so it can only choose to negotiate peace.

Discussing peace with Huan Xuan is undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger, and its momentum is flourishing, will it sit down and talk about peace?

But what can be done without peace? Could it be that he watched the Jingzhou soldiers call?

Forget it, let's hurry up the peace talks, maybe this will allow the imperial court to turn the danger into a disaster and turn the crisis into safety.

At that moment, Sima Dewen got Liu Muzhi's guidance, and immediately returned to the palace to ask the Son of Heaven for a holy decree to stop the war.

Then he used the secret envoy of Sima Rou, the king of Qi, to quietly leave Jiankang and go west, preparing to make peace with Huan Xuan.

……

"My lord, why are you helping King Langya, isn't this against the interests of Hexi?"

As soon as Sima Dewen left, Zhonglang General Xue Tong expressed his dissatisfaction to Liu Muzhi.

In Xue Tong's opinion, the more chaotic Jiangdong is, the better, how can Jing and Yang easily stop their troops?

He knows very well where the next goal in Hexi is, and of course he hopes that Jiangdong will be as chaotic as possible.

Now that he saw Liu Muzhi's devotion to Sima Dewen's assistance, he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.

"Hahaha, does Xue Zhonglang think I'm helping the imperial court?"

"No, no, no, I'm adding fuel to the fire."

"My subordinates don't understand."

"Xue Zhonglang can know Huan Xuanqi? He is a fierce man, unscrupulous, and indecisive. ”

"If the imperial court shows a tough attitude, there is a good chance that Huan Xuan will choose to stop halfway."

"On the contrary, if the imperial court shows a little weakness, Huan Xuan will immediately become arrogant and not take the imperial court seriously."

"I asked King Langya to make peace, which is equivalent to telling Huan Xuan unmistakably: The court is very weak, hurry up!"

"That'...... So what if Huan Xuanzhen makes peace with the imperial court? ”

"No!" Liu Muzhi cut the railway.

"Huh? How can adults be so confident? ”

"Hahaha, it's not that I have confidence, but that I have confidence in Huan Xuan."

"Judging from Huan Xuan's past performance, it is impossible for him to make peace with the imperial court."

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if Huan Xuan is willing, Bian Fanzhi will definitely stop him."

"This is called the general trend, and Huan Xuan can't retreat and hesitate, otherwise his civil and military forces will force him to Jiankang."

Later, as Liu Muzhi expected, Sima Rouzhi, the king of Qi, successfully met Huan Xuan.

But he not only failed to complete the mission of peace, but also threw his life in Jingzhou.

When King Qi's bloody human head was returned to Jiankang, everyone realized that there was no room for relaxation between Jing and Yang.

Xue Tong looked at Liu Muzhi with admiration on his face, and threw himself on the five bodies he admired.

And Liu Muzhi muttered to himself: "The general trend is coming! ”

The news of the outbreak of the conflict in Jingyang quickly spread all over the world, and for a while, people in Jiangdong were panicked and divided into three factions.

One faction is naturally loyal to the royal family, and they have responded to the call of the imperial court and actively raised troops to serve the king.

The other faction supported Huan Xuan and shouted for Huan Xuan in various places.

The last faction remained neutral, no one supported it, and quietly waited to watch the excitement.

But in any case, the impact of Huan Xuan's rebellion this time is far greater than the last time Wang Gong made a rebellion.

Countless people or forces are paying attention to this Jingyang conflict and want to profit from it, even Hexi is no exception.
