There are more than 30 states in the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in addition to the former 14 states of Jianghuai and Huaibei Haizhou, the current 15 states around Jiangnan West Road, as well as Taizhou set up in Hailing, Yangzhou, and Jian, Jian, and Ting from Fujian. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huainan Jiedu made the original rule of Yangzhou, now Jinling is called Huainan is no longer appropriate, after the Tang Dynasty Wang Shi conquered the ten states of Hunan, Jinling's jurisdiction is only about the fifteen states of Jiangnan West Road: Jinling, Run, Chang, Xuan, Chi, She, Jiang, Rao, Hong, Xin, Fu, Yuan, Ji, Qian, Hubei.

And because Ezhou Wuchang Jiedu made Chai reuse to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, Changzhou was captured by Yue King Qian Mu, so the current Jinling is actually in a tragic situation of "land loss". Of course, no matter how tragic the "loss of the land" is, it is not as besieged as the siege of Jinling in Kyoto, and it was surrounded by 200,000 royal divisions who were determined to capture the city and destroy Jinling in one fell swoop.

Emperor Yang Pu of Wu said that the emperor had been founding the country for several years, and had also captured eight states in Hunan, and the country was not without prosperity, and Kyoto Jinling was not without popular support, and of course it would not be vulnerable. However, Wu first lost Jianghuai, then lost Chu, and now Kyoto is besieged, there is a great danger of destruction, it is impossible for the country not to be panicked, and the ruling prime minister Xu Zhihe was pushed to the forefront at this time.

"Xu's father and son have been in control of the government for many years, and major military and political affairs are all from the hands of this generation, Xu Wen has bought people's hearts in many ways for his own use, and privately gave the country's important weapons to others, in exchange for others to be willing to be his minions, it can be said that 'Sima Zhao's heart is well known'. Xu Wen had wolf ambitions in his later years, but fortunately he died early, and there were no major changes in the country, and then there were Xu Zhihe and Xu Zhixun fighting for power. But the ambition of his generation is no different from Xu Wen. ”

In the palace city, Yang Zhiye and Yang Pu of Hong Guogong were talking secretly, and the former said, "If this person is not removed, it will be difficult for me to be at peace with Wu Sheji." ”

The doors and windows were closed, the light in the wide lobby was dim, and a gloomy aura spread out, Yang Pu sighed: "Xu's ambition, how can I not know? It's just that when I succeeded to the throne, I was still young, and the power was controlled by Xu Wen, and I wanted to save Sheji, but I couldn't do it. Since Xu Zhihe took power, he attacked the city and plundered the land in Hunan, and the king of Chu could not stop it, so the eight states of Chu were in the bag, and then he defeated the alliance between the Northern Dynasty and the king of Chu, and the prestige was greatly shaken. ”

Hong Guogong Yang Zhiye hunched his back slightly, and his eyes showed a sharp light like a wolf dog, "But now is the right time." Since Xu Zhihe was in power, Dawu first lost the rich land of the 14 states of Jianghuai, the benefits of fishing and salt no longer existed, so Dawu lost half of the foundation of the country, and then lost Hunan, and now it is the siege of the army of the Northern Dynasties, inside and outside Jinling, the whole country, all of them spurned it, at this time, it can be said that when the wind and rain are blowing, it is appropriate to eradicate the Xu thief. ”

Yang Pu was silent for a moment, as if he remembered something, his eyes showed regret and resentment, and he was even more distressed, "After the Northern Dynasty captured Changsha, people with lofty ideals in the country criticized Xu thieves, and the officials and generals in Jinling City attacked in groups, and the courtiers who entered the palace in ten days came one after another, or wept opposite to me, or conspired with me to punish this, the generals of the palace city janissary army and the Jinling city defense army, originally almost all of Xu thief henchmen, at this time they were also loyal to me, willing to help me Kuang Fu Sheji, wash away the thieves. At that time, I and Qing and others planned everything, on the one hand, to stabilize the palace ban, on the other hand, to stabilize the city defense, thousands of soldiers almost surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion and wiped out the Xu thief family! Pity...... It's a pity ......"

Looking back on the sinister nature of the struggle at that time, Yang Zhiye, the prince of Hong Guo, was also very distressed, and sighed: "Hateful! Originally, the Xu thief was gone, and he was only about to die in a day or two, but he hated Lin Renzhao from Changsha and returned with the whole division, and led his 20,000 soldiers to travel day and night for half a month, galloping 800 miles to Jiangzhou, and then coerced the Jiujiang Naval Division to go straight to Jinling along the river, and rushed back two days before everything was launched! ”

"Xu Zhihe immediately used the thunder trick, used Lin Renzhao's department to take over the city defense, and sent his elite to replace the palace guards, and selected a thousand soldiers to be stationed next to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the generals who originally swore allegiance to His Majesty have left the city defense and palace forbidden places, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is on guard day and night, so we no longer have the opportunity to launch a major event, and the major event planned by His Majesty and his ministers has been declared annihilated, it is really a pity and hateful!"

Yang Pu raised his head in pain, but he couldn't stop the tears in his eyes, and the cramping pain in his heart was only something he could experience. Originally, he had become a puppet, and the good foundation laid by Yang Xingmi was about to be handed over, but now he finally had the opportunity to turn the world upside down in one fell swoop, retake charge of Dawu, and become the real emperor of Dawu.

"The matter has come to this, what is the best plan for the prince to turn the tide of the tide?" Yang Pu turned his head and wiped his tears, looked back and asked Yang Zhiye, "If Guogong can save the difficulties, he will be the first hero of Dawu in the future, and I am willing to share the Dawu country with Guogong!" ”

Yang Zhiye was moved and excited, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, suppressing the ambition that rose in his heart and was the same as Xu Zhihe, "The minister is subject to the grace of the first emperor and His Majesty, and it is the duty of the minister to be loyal to His Majesty, how dare you have extravagant expectations?" Please Your Majesty don't torture the old ministers! If he can kill the Xu thief this time, the old minister will return to his hometown, and it will be enough to comfort his life! ”

"Guogong, please get up!" Yang Pu hurriedly helped Yang Zhiye up, he was also worried that after the matter was completed, Yang Zhiye would not be able to lose his tail, and he would take power with great merit and become the second Xu Zhihe, seeing Yang Zhiye so sincere, he felt a little more relieved, "I am a virtuous minister like a national prince, even if the big thing fails, there is no regret!" ”

After sitting down again, Yang Zhiye said: "At present, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty are besieging Jinling, and Dawu is in danger like a tired egg, and the slightest carelessness may destroy the city and destroy the country. But in other words, the siege of the Northern Dynasty by soldiers and horses is also an opportunity for Your Majesty! ”

Yang Pu was stunned, "What do you mean by what the Duke of the Kingdom said?" ”

Yang Zhiye tried his best to calm his tone, but he couldn't stop killing word by word, "What is the reason for the Northern Dynasty to attack?" It is nothing more than His Majesty being called the emperor, which is not tolerated by the Northern Dynasty. At this time, His Majesty can send a secret envoy to the army of the Northern Dynasty, clearly saying that the emperor is coerced by the Xu father and son, which is really a last resort, and writes to the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, willing to cut off the name of the country, claiming to be the lord of Jiangnan, and even calling the king is not indispensable, and paying tribute to the Northern Dynasty every year, willing to serve the Northern Dynasty as the master. In this way, all the blame is put on the Xu father and son, and the soldiers and horses who came to attack the Northern Dynasty became 'Qing Jun's side and rebellious ministers', and His Majesty and the former emperor set Huainan and protected the territory and the people in the troubled times, which is meritorious, and what is the difference between the Qian father and son of the Yue King? If this is the case, Xu Zhihe will inevitably become the target of everyone, and his demise is not imminent? ”

This plan is really vicious, if it can be like this, Xu Zhihe will definitely die, Yang Pu was shocked and speechless for a while.

Yang Zhiye thought that he was reluctant to take the throne, and couldn't help but tearfully persuade: "At present, 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty are besieging the city, and Jinling is in danger. If you don't take this opportunity to take precautions, how will you be in the future? At present, there are only fifteen states left in Dawu, whether it is the lord of the country or the king, at least he is still the lord of these fifteen states, as long as he can really take charge of these fifteen states, if the world changes in the future, how can His Majesty not win the Central Plains? In the past, the first emperor raised troops, but nineteen soldiers, and can achieve the great cause of Huainan, Your Majesty has fifteen states, why not achieve great things? Baili is in sight, it is better to have a profit in hand! ”

Yang Pu sighed and said: "It's not that I can't bear this unworthy title of emperor, but I'm worried that the Northern Dynasty won't agree!" ”

"How can the Northern Dynasties disagree? Although Dawu is in danger at the moment, Jinling is Kyoto after all, how complete the city defense equipment is, and there are 50,000 elite armor soldiers, hundreds of thousands of people are young and strong, if you insist on standing in the city and defending, the Northern Dynasty will be strong even if the armor is thick and strong, how can it be easily captured? Besides, my Great Wu still has more than ten state territories, and if the towns and states recruit troops to buy the king of Malaiqin, it will be enough to resist the Northern Dynasty for a long time. 200,000 troops are fighting on the front line, and the daily consumption of money and food is difficult to measure, even if the Northern Dynasty is now rich, it is enough to empty the treasury of the Northern Dynasty if it really lasts for several months or even more than a year! At present, my Jinling and the Northern Dynasty seek to exterminate the Xu thief, as long as the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty also play the banner of 'rebellious ministers', the war can be determined in the tenth month, this is a happy situation, why not do it in the Northern Dynasty? Yang Zhiye looked a little excited.

Stabilizing his tone, Yang Zhiye said again: "As for whether the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasties will be stationed in Jinling after the war, and how the fifteen states in the south of the Yangtze River will be located, they can each rely on their skills at that time. And Your Majesty has soldiers who are loyal, regain authority, and unite the whole country, so why be afraid of the Northern Dynasty? ”

Yang Pu thought about it carefully and approved of this plan, don't say that this plan can make the great cause of Wu Guo "think in the long run", but there is no such opportunity, as long as Xu Zhihe can perish, he will not hesitate!

——Yang's conquest of Huainan, how much hardship, how much blood and sweat shed, but the fruits of victory were stolen by the "retainers", if Xu Zhihe usurped the throne in the future, Yang Pu will definitely die. At this time, he has a monstrous hatred for Xu's father and son, and if he has the opportunity to die with Xu Zhihe, he will definitely not hesitate!

In the end, when Yang Zhiye left, he agreed with Yang Pu that Yang Zhiye would form forces outside the palace, and send secret envoys to discuss the matter of "punishing the rebellious ministers" with the Tang Dynasty, and Yang Pu would also operate in the palace, seeking to make the palace ban generals loyal with kindness and righteousness, so as to ensure his own safety when the incident happened.

- Although the current Praetorian Guard is Lin Renzhao's subordinate, since the previous Praetorian Guard can be loyal to Yang Pu, the current Praetorian Guard generals may not be able to fight for it.

After Yang Zhiye left, Yang Pu sat quietly in the dimly lit and empty lobby for two hours. No one knew how many things had been going through his mind in the space of two hours.

In the afternoon, Yang Pu wandered around Miyagi and finally stopped on a dragon boat in a large lake.

Soon, a palace guard general came to the dragon boat and stood in front of Yang Pu.

Yang Pu looked at the person in front of him, but seeing that the other party was burly, with facial features like knives, and his eyes were blazing, he seemed to be clear and not dull, he smiled and said: "I have heard that General Diao is mighty, and when I saw it today, it was really so." ”

Diao Yanneng hugged his fists and bowed: "I dare not be praised by Your Majesty." ”

Yang Pu remained silent, "I heard that the general is a loyal and righteous man, and he is especially filial to serve his mother. In the past, the general in Xuanzhou Festival to make Wang Maozhang listen to the account, and later Wang Maozhang treason to Qiantang, the general should have obeyed, but did not want to be a traitor, so he helped his mother to stand beside the road, crying to Wang Maozhang said, "I have an old mother here, can not give up and obey the public, dare to ask for death", Wang Maozhang Gu Nian general filial piety, can not bear to be difficult, then let the general return to Xuanzhou. When the general returned to Xuanzhou, the soldiers in the city heard that Jiedu had caused Wang Maozhang to defect, and he was already in a mess, and it was the general who calmed down the chaos. The general's loyalty and dedication to the country, I have heard it for a long time, and I hate to see each other. ”

Diao Yanneng bowed down, "Thanks to Your Majesty's high opinion, the minister is grateful, but the minister is ashamed!" ”

Yang Pu pretended to be puzzled, "How can the general be ashamed?" ”

Diao Yanneng said: "The minister is a minister of His Majesty, but now he is monitoring His Majesty for the prime minister, the minister is ashamed of His Majesty's trust, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Yang Pu got up and left the case, picked up Diao Yanneng, and sighed: "The general is really a frank gentleman, and if he can tell me these words, it can be seen that the general is really a loyal minister." Now that the country is in trouble, dare to ask the general, are you willing to help me Kuang Fu Sheji and save the difficulties? ”

Diao Yan can bow again, "Your Majesty has an order, and the minister swears to obey it!" ”

"Good, good!" Yang Pu helped Diao Yanneng up again, and he was very relieved and happy, "The general is really a national soldier!" Now with the assistance of the general, I am determined, if all the subjects in the world are like generals, why is Dawu not happy? If Da Wu survives this time, the general will be a hero of the society! Then he ordered the attendant to serve wine and drink with Diao Yan.

For Yang Pu, he can't just rely on Yang Zhiye alone, relying on one person is easy to let the other party monopolize power, he must support others and restrain each other. Of course, for now, if he can gather more courtiers to be loyal, the chance of success in major events will be greater, and the close protection of the palace guards is related to his life and death, how can he fight for more?

For Diao Yanneng, it is not difficult to understand that he took refuge in Yang Pu.

Yang Pu is the Emperor of Great Wu, and he has a righteous name.

Xu Zhihe is a courtier, he has no righteous reputation, and he is plotting "great rebellion", his name is not right, he wants to make friends with everyone and attract everyone to be loyal to him, only by relying on the word "profit". But there are so many interests in official positions, and in order to make everyone profitable, it is necessary to seize the interests of some vested interests. And in addition to internal struggles, it is to expand the territory - to conquer other countries and make profits from abroad.

If the foreign war goes well, for example, if you win the eight states of Chudi, everyone has merit, they are rewarded and awarded, and the benefits are in hand, so they will naturally serve Xu Zhihe and be loyal. But what if the campaign is lost? For example, if there is the defeat of Jianghuai and then the defeat of Hunan, and if Jianghuai loses and then Hunan, what will happen? If there is no profit abroad, and the original interests at home are lost, no one will be happy.

Moreover, Wu fought in Jianghuai and Hunan, and lost countless soldiers, did those soldiers who died in the war have family members and friends? Will these family members and friends hold a grudge against Xu Zhihe? Among them, most of the generals and colonels who can lead the troops in the army, most of their family members and friends are also Wu Chen, not to mention that they have lost their vested interests, and their relatives and friends are also dead, will they hate Xu Zhihe?

In this case, the interests were lost by Xu Zhihe's disadvantage, and his family and friends were gone, and it was logical that everyone in Jinling was against Xu Zhihe.

Now, Yang Pu intends to regain power, he himself has a righteous reputation, Wu Chen's allegiance to him is natural, and loyalty to Yang Pu to bring down Xu Zhihe is easier than the battlefield battle, and once Xu Zhihe is overthrown, they are the heroes of the society, and they are bound to be rewarded by Yang Pu, whether it is to add officials to the knighthood or reward wealth and land, they will get more benefits, at this time, is it not reasonable for Xu Zhihe to betray his relatives and leave?

Yang Zhiye and Diao Yanneng are all like this.

Although Diao Yanneng is a filial person, a filial person can't pursue profit? Can't be ambitious?
