Chapter 808: Zhao Ce
The person standing in front of Zhao Wuxian was Cai Shimo, the Taishi of the Qiqi Palace, and he was also the Taifu of Jin Houwu.
This person is well-read and well-known, he is good at astronomical stars, the five elements of magic and the Zheng Zhan, familiar with the classics of the princely states of the past, especially the prophecy is very accurate. Twenty years ago, Shi Mo accurately predicted the demise of Fan and the Second Secretary of the Bank of China, and he also believed that there would be a great disaster in the state of Wu twenty years later, and his accuracy made Zhao Wuxian, who knew the future affairs, staggered, and did not dare to despise this unsmiling Taishi.
Shi Mo met Zhao Jun outside the old capital of the Jin Kingdom, which was the old capital of the Jin Kingdom for a hundred years, at the beginning of Tang Shuyu was sealed in the wings, and then after a hundred years of struggle between the Quwo system and the wing system, the capital was moved to Jiang when the Jin Dynasty was presented, and then the capital was moved to Xintian when the Jin Jinggong was born, also known as Xinjiang, so the old capital became what people called "Old Jiang".
This place is indeed as its name, there is an "old" word everywhere: the old palace Tu Dao, the old Jin kingdom said, the old clan branches gathered here, maintaining the old way of life, and the prosperity of Xinjiang is very different with each passing day. But now, the loneliness of the old city has been completely broken, and a large army has driven from the east, and without saying a word, it has set up camp outside the city, surrounding the city, and making the people inside the city nervous.
As far as the eye can see, the Zhao army is densely packed, with as many as 30,000 people, which is still the number of people who left many people stationed and guarded prisoners in the cities along the way, which shows the horror of the Zhao family's strength.
However, among them, there are full of Xuanniao flags, bee flags, and the symbols and flags of various arms, but there is no single banner with the word "Jin".
The Jin State Office has been blown away by wind and rain, becoming the plaything of the Qing clan, this four-year civil war has made the Jin family lose face, with the Zhao army into the east of the river, the last fig leaf has also been torn off, but there are still pasters who want to try their best to maintain the last trace of dignity of the office.
Therefore, Shi Mo's first sentence when he saw Zhao Wuxian was: "Since the general is under the banner of the Qingjun side, he must have the appearance of the Qingjun side!" ”
Zhao Wuxian glanced back at the disapproving looks of the generals under his command, and said with a smile: "Taishi has taught me a lesson, I am ashamed to say it, until last month, I was still regarded as a traitor to the Jin State, although I had the heart to discern my heart to the monarch, but I couldn't find a way, and I didn't dare to play the banner of the Jin State in vain, so in this way, the monarch really recognized my Zhao's loyalty?" ”
Shi Mo's face sank like water, "The monarch asked the old minister to pass the edict, the evil minister on the king's side has fled, Fan Gaoyi, Liang Yingfu and others have all been captured by the general, the general is tired, it is better to rest for a while, and after the renovation of the burned down market official office in Xintian is completed, please invite the general to enter the Qiqi Palace to discuss the candidate for the secretary of the Jin State......"
"Zhengqing candidate? Why I heard that Weber has been appointed consul. ”
"That's a rumor, Weber is only temporarily in his place, and the official ruling is still up for debate."
It seems that it was the westward march of my army and the rapid southward march of Post Wuzheng that frightened the Wei clan and wanted to throw out the ruling position to catch me in the bait...... Zhao Wuxian squinted slightly: "It stands to reason that Wei Bo is a military assistant in the middle of the country, and in terms of seniority, he is naturally the Zhengqing." But I am more concerned that, according to this statement, the monarch and Weber...... Do you want me to enter Xinjiang? ”
"This is also temporary, the monarch wants Xinjiang to recover as soon as possible, and then welcome the general, otherwise a tattered palace, how to receive it?"
Zhao Wuxian didn't believe this, his face was embarrassed, he turned his head sideways and pointed to the 30,000 army behind him and said: "It's okay if I don't enter Xinjiang, but the soldiers and retainers under my command have been fighting for four years for today, and they really want to enter the country to meet the monarch, and I can't stop it, since I can't enter the city, it's okay to go to the suburbs to worship." ”
Zhao Wuxian's words were full of secret threats, and following his words, all the generals shouted together, and their voices resounded through the old silk, shaking the rubble as if they were trembling, and even the well-informed Shi Mo couldn't help but be awe-inspiring.
He was born late and didn't catch up with Zhao Xuanzi's era, but the Zhao Wuxian in front of him was the reincarnation of a living Zhao Dun! Even the fact that the mother family is Di is exactly the same, if he is allowed to enter Xinjiang to take power, I am afraid that he will be like Zhao Dun, named Jin Qing, and he is really in power......
It's no wonder that the monarch and Wei Xuan tried their best to let this person stop outside the east of the river, but now that the Zhao family has full fledgling, even if Zhao Wuxian forcibly does something unreasonable, others can only be helpless, counting on the old etiquette of the Jin State to cage him? It's almost impossible.
But now, Shi Mo and others can rely on only that bit of morality and etiquette, he said earnestly: "Those who have a country and a family want to inherit and continue from generation to generation, it lies in virtue, not in the large number of soldiers, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, and I hope that the general will be cautious, not everything can be solved by force." ”
"Taishi is right, now the military and political affairs of the Jin Kingdom, do not need swords, but need a feast, since the monarch does not want me to go to Xinjiang for various considerations, then Taishi will go back to inform Wei Bo, just say that I will rest in the old Jiang, set up a feast and wait for him to come together, it is related to the future of the Jin Kingdom, and the Zhao and Wei families need to talk about it!"
Zhao Wuxian seemed to take a step back, but then showed a smile that was in his hands: "If Wei Boken doesn't want to come, then I, as a junior, can find the door by myself." ”
……
In the evening, after agreeing that all the consumption of Zhao Jun during the period of Jiujiang would be provided by Jiujiang, Tai Shimo hurriedly traveled west and went to Xintian two days away in the west to report the situation. And Zhao Jun camped outside the city to rest in the jealous and puzzled eyes of the people of the old Jiang country, and Zhao Wuxian took off his stuffy hat for a whole day, and someone came outside the tent, and there was a group of them, including Wang Sunsheng, Shi Qi, Tian Ben and others.
As soon as Shi Qi and Tian Ben entered the door, they all bowed down and said: "Lord, my army of 30,000 troops has been on the verge of Jiujiang, and the one-day march to the west is the capital of Jin. And the Wei clan is full of troops around Jiangdu, plus the Wei Ju Department who was stationed in Zhouyang to defend our army first, but there are more than 20,000 people, if it is attacked urgently, the Zhao clan will break the Wei army, and the Jin State can all belong to the general! ”
Zhao Wuxian pondered for a moment and said that he knew, and let them all go out, leaving only Wang Sunsheng, who had not spoken just now, and asked him what he thought about this?
"If the general is determined to destroy Wei, hold on to this winter's conscription of soldiers without rest, endure the exhaustion of the warehouses that have accumulated with great difficulty, and forcibly attack, he should be able to take Hedong by next year. If the Han clan is involved, the war may be extended to the following year, and if Qin, Chu, and Zheng are involved, then the war will be indefinite. Even if the Zhao clan is strong, fighting continuously for five or six years, the people's livelihood will wither and there will be complaints...... Even if he wins in the end, I am afraid that he will lose the hearts of the people, and the Zhao family center is in Hanoi and Jinyang, which is too far away from Hedong, and in the end it will be cheaper for others. It's easy to take, but it's hard to keep, just like when Wu Shi entered Ying, looking at the majesty, but in the end there are not many benefits. ”
"Well said! Not only must it be taken, but it must also be defended. "Zhao Wuxian has always believed that Wang Sunsheng is also a king's talent, and he does not have to rely on others, even if he stands on his own, he may become a prince of the dominant side, or even his own opponent......
But at least for now, this young man's road is still long.
"That's why I plan to use the army to force the national capital, create a sense of crisis for the monarch and the Wei clan, coerce them to bow to me, and reconstruct the pattern and future of the Jin Kingdom according to my ideas." But this degree has to be appropriate, I can't let the Han family think that I am too domineering, and stay away because of fear, and I can't let the prestige of the Jin Kingdom be completely shattered and swept away, causing the Sanqing to be completely divided, and let the three Jin Kingdoms be staged in advance, that is not Zhao Wuxian's original intention......
He has only one goal, the Zhao family to be promoted and listed as a prince! This is the only strategy of the Zhao family, what he wants is the entire Jin Kingdom, Zhao Wei Han, Hanoi, Hebei, Hedong, Jinyang, Hewai, Hexi, no less!
Even though it is necessary to go a long way to achieve this goal, to break through the material foundation, to break through the limitations of the times, and there are many obstacles buried deep in people's spirits called "ritual law". But he can wait, he is still young, less than thirty years old, and has plenty of capital and time.
"Wei Yu and his son shouldn't want me to really come to Xinjiang and make the Wei clan completely passive, so he must come, sign his name on the covenant, and accept the new order of the Jin Kingdom led by me and the Zhao clan!" (To be continued.) )
