Volume 5 False Confession 10

North in Chen Cao! The day before arriving in Shiluoyang, more than ten people returned to Chang'an, first went to see his father Huanlang, Dou Lang is now an auxiliary general Changshi, learned that his son Dou Tao and Pingyu Su did not marry, and returned in vain, frowned and said: "The prince sent an envoy to lobby Zhunbei Wuwu this time. Sujiabao should be the most promising return. It's disappointing! ”

Dou Tao blushed and argued: "Su Daozhen has been persuaded by me, but unexpectedly, Chen Cao, the envoy of the Jin envoy to my Qin State, passed through Sujiabao on the road, and this person seems to know very well about Wang Shangshu's strategy to recruit the Zhunbei Tribes, even so, how dare Su Daozhen return to my Qin State!" ”

Dou Lang waved his hand and said: "You go down to bathe first, and follow me to meet the prince at night, and explain the matter of Sujiabao one by one." ”

Dou stumbled and retreated.

That night, Gong Tao followed his father Dou Lang to the auxiliary general's mansion to meet Wang Meng, at that time Wang Meng was a six-post and an auxiliary general, Si Li's lieutenant, Shangshu Zuo servant, Zhan Shi, Shizhong, Zhongshu Ling, Qin lord Fu Jian was obedient to him, it can be said that the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, Longyou, Guanzhong Han people were naturally happy with Wang Meng's power, but the Di nobles were resentful of Wang Meng's suppression of their privileges, but because of the firm belief in Ren Wang Meng, the Di nobles were helpless, Wang Meng was also deeply afraid, and dealt with the Hu and Han contradictions and tried to hold the center, Last year, the Xiongnu left and right Xian Wang Cao An, Liu Weichen rebelled, Fu Jian personally led the troops to quell the rebellion, migrated the Xiongnu Haoqiang 6,000 households in Chang'an, in order to control the Xiongnu tribes, Wang Meng is to preside over the placement of the 6,000 Xiongnu Haoqiang, after more than 100 days, finally basically settled down, tonight is discussing with the former general Yang An, Yangwu general Yao Chang to attack Jingxiang, I heard that the long Shi Lang and Zi Shiyi asked to see. And he commanded them to be sent in.

Wang Meng's auxiliary general's mansion is in the west of Chang'an City, which was originally the site of Hanshang Lin Yuan, which has gone through war. Originally, the palace room is magnificent, the flowers and trees are strange Shanglin Yuan has been a ruin, fifteen years ago after the capital of Di Qin moved from Yang Tou to Chang'an, the mansion of the nobles and officials of Di Qin was mostly built in the west of the city, Wang Meng was thrifty, the courtyard of the house was just a few acres, suffocating with his father into the general's mansion, there were no lights along the road, only a servant led the way with a lantern.

Wang Meng is Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old and of medium height. Silkworm eyebrows and phoenix eyes, five inches of black hair under the chin, a calm and resolute expression, there is a tendency not to be angry and self-imposing, Dou Huo is timid, after seeing the ceremony, he will report the experience of this trip to Huaibei to Wang Meng in detail, and the debate with Chen Caozhi was slightly deleted, and Su Ruolan's question was not mentioned

Wang Meng twisted his beard and groaned: "Strange, how could Chen Caozhi know about my acquisition of Huaibei Zhuwu?" ”

Yang Shi, the former general present, said with a smile: "Then Chen Caozhi must have been suspicious when he saw Xiao Dou Gongzi appear in Su Jiazhen, so he tried to use words to test Xiao Dou Gongzi and deceived him." ”

Dou Di was ashamed and angry, but he didn't do it well. I didn't dare to defend myself, so I just swallowed my anger.

Wang Meng smiled indifferently, Huaibei Zhuwu can subdue the lamp of course, and if it is not subdued, it will not hurt the overall situation, the Qin army currently only intends to plunder the land of Jingshu, for Huaibei and the Central Plains, it is best to let Jin Yan fight and lose first.

Seeing that the soup was embarrassed, Wang Mengnai said gently: "Lian Boxian's nephew, this matter is not your fault, who would have expected that Chen Caozhi would come to Sujiabao!" It's just that in this way, my Great Qin's plan to subdue Huaibei Zhuwu will all fail. After a pause, he asked, "What kind of person does Lian Boxian's nephew think Chen Caozhi is?" ”

Dou Tao was ashamed and replied, "Chen Caozhi." Jiang Zuo has a very heavy habit, and he is self-conscious and exaggerated, and he does not know what to say. ”

Yao Xiang, the brother of Yao Di, was attached to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but was not tolerated by Yin Hao, the powerful minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time, so Yao Chang hated Jiang Zuo Xuanyan and talked about the generation very much, and he also despised it very much, and immediately echoed: "Jiang Zuo is the only Huan Wen'er, and the rest are incompetent. ”

Wang Meng smiled slightly, and said: "Otherwise, Wang is quite interested in this Chen Caozhi, this person is from a poor family, but he can make the family among the scholars, can be friends with Xie Xuan and Fan Ning, Qingyan Xuantan is Sima Yu, and the branch is highly rewarded, and he is really talented and hard-working, but he can be used by Huan Wen and Xi Chao, and his pursuit of the Lu family girl has not been ruined, but her reputation is rising, which is really unexpected!" ”

When Huan Wen went on the Northern Expedition to the widow, Wang Meng, who lived in seclusion in Huashan, came to see Huan Wen and talked about lice, which was deeply appreciated by Hengwen, but Wang Meng finally did not return to Jiangdong with Huan Wen, and considered that he could not get a foothold in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, where the wealthy families were numerous, and could not pour his literary and martial arts strategies to achieve great achievements, so he decided to stay in Guanzhong and wait and watch the changes of the times until Fu Jian took the throne. Wang Meng came out of the mountain, and he really had to show his ambitions. Wang Meng also always felt that his decision to stay in the north was wise, because the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not have a place for him, and he held a high position and power in Qin. He also knew all about the major affairs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Chen Caozhi came step by step from Qian Tang, and he Wang Meng watched the fire from the other side, and he was quite surprised. It turned out that a son of a poor family could also make a difference in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so Wang Meng really wanted to see this Chen Caozhi.

Dou Jiu said: "Yu Wang Shangshu, Dong Cao!" It is based on calligraphy and painting to sell fame and reputation. Jiang Zuo cried again for this false decoration. It will be judged that the talented who is overly practical. ”

Wang Meng glanced at Dou Yi and said lightly: "Last winter, Chen Caozhi made outstanding achievements in Huiji, not only talking about the mysteries, but also Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi painted the Buddha murals in Jiankang Waguan Temple, the sound spread to the north, Yan and Qin have Buddha believers who traveled thousands of miles to Jiankang to watch the ceremony, and returned with joy and admiration, the Empress Dowager also knew about it, and learned that Chen Caozhi would come to Chang'an a month ago, so he asked His Majesty to leave Chen Caozhi as an official in Qin, so as to paint a portrait of the Buddhist temple in Qin, hehe, Therefore, whether Chen Caozhi can return to Jiangdong depends on his own ability. ”

Dou Tao didn't dare to say more, and said in his heart: "It's an interesting thing to leave Chen Caozhi in Chang'an." The Empress Dowager believes in Buddhism and indulges in lust, Chen Caozhi will enter the Empress Dowager? General Wei can tolerate Chen Caozhi! ”

General Wei Li Wei is the lover of the Empress Dowager Qi, this matter is known to the government and the opposition, and when he was in power, he wanted to kill Fu Jian several times, thanks to Li Wei's protection, and the Di people are more casual about men and women, so He Jian is also resigned to his mother Empress Dowager Qi and Li Weihuan, and Li Wei is like a father, even Wang Meng is a brother to Li Wei, and he is very respectful. He was loyal to the Qin Fu clan, and cooperated with Wang Meng in governing the country, and his political achievements were remarkable. Regardless of whether it is a Di person or a Han person, no one despises Li Wei because he is the head of Empress Dowager.

In the middle of the night, Dou Lang and Huantao said goodbye. Yao Di also then left, and the former general Yang An stayed to continue the conversation with Wang Meng, Yang An smiled and said: "Then a certain Yao Meng Wang Shangshu was summoned to the palace to discuss matters, and Wang Shangshu will reuse Yao Weihu?" ”

Yang An had a very personal relationship with Wang Meng, and knew Wang Meng's intentions, and after Yao Xiang's death, Yao Chang led the Qiang people to Qin. Wang Meng thought that Yao Chang was not sincere in submission. After a long time, it will be chaotic, and he secretly suggested that he should kill Yao Chang to get rid of future troubles, and he would pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, and refused to surrender, Wang Meng had no choice but to give up, but now, Wang Meng wanted to entrust Yao Chang with the important task of marching south, so Yang An had this question.

Wang Meng smiled and said: "Muping is the time to employ people, why can't I tolerate Yao Chang." ”

Yang Anxin's leader will not say more, but just ask: "The public wants to negotiate peace with Bei, but why is he so strong that he wants to attack Jingxiang?" ”

Wang Meng said: "The weapons brought by the Jin people last time. Sure enough, Jin wants to exchange this for the war horse of my Qin State, and I will only be able to drive it for five or six years, and I can't give birth, so so. Jin has never been able to establish a strong cavalry, and it will not pose a threat to our Qin State, so I will sweep away Qiang Yan, and then try Jiangdong, Kyushu will be unified, and open a peaceful and prosperous era. ”

Yang An exclaimed: "Wang Shangshu is eloquent and strategic, and Zhuge Wuhou can't reach it."

Wang Meng said modestly, and said: "Chen Caozhi must have arrived in Luoyang at this time, and there are only 800 of Shen Jin's soldiers left in Luoyang now, if there are no reinforcements." In less than three months, Luoyang will be captured by Murong Ke, and now the land of Henan has been taken by Yan, and after the loss of Luoyang's lonely city, Qin and Yan will confront each other in Hebei and Henan, which is not what I want. ”

The Yan State has Murong Ke, and its momentum is blazing, and the Qin State is still busy appeasing the Xiongnu and Diqiang tribes in the north, as well as Zhang Tianxi in Liangzhou and the Tuoba clan in the clouds may also be in trouble, so Wang Meng does not want to compete with the Yan State south of the Yellow River. It is necessary to stabilize the north first, and then start a full-scale war with Xianbei Murong, which is also the main reason why Wang Meng is willing to negotiate peace with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but if the Eastern Jin Dynasty cannot hold Luoyang, Henan will belong to the Yan State, and the Yan army can go straight to Huangguan, and Guanzhong will be dangerous.

Yang An said: "In this case, why don't I take Luoyang first?" ”

Wang Meng said: "Luoyang City is sparsely populated, I take it easily, the reason why I keep it but not take it is to let Jin and Yan fight, but now it seems that Huan Wenzhi is the emperor in Jiangzuo, I am afraid that he has no intention of saving Luoyang." The silkworm frowned slightly, and said: "I ordered the Jianjie general Deng Qiang to send soldiers to Lingbao and Miao Cheng, waiting for the opportunity to move, as for whether to take Luoyang first or others, I will decide after seeing Chen Cao." ”

The next day, Wang Meng ordered Shi Yunlang, the auxiliary governor, to go out of Huangguan to meet Chen Caozhi, the envoy of the Jin State, and at this time, Chen Cao's entourage of more than 300 people could go to Luoyang. After Chen Caozhi had a long talk with Shen Jin, he sent scouts to the Yan Army, and Duan Si's house slave Duan Zhao was also sent by Chen Caozhi to Yecheng to inquire about the news, and Chen Caozhi also made up two nursery rhymes for Duan Li to remember. Then he went to the countryside on the outskirts of the city to teach children to sing. Since the two Han Dynasty, nursery rhymes and Wei Wei are inseparable, when the Han Dynasty dedicated the emperor, Chang'an nursery rhymes sang: "Qianli grass, He Qingqing, ten days, not life." Soon after, Dong Zhuo died

On the occasion of the Wei and Jin dynasties, up to the princes and nobles, down to the people of Limin, they all believed that the nursery rhyme was a blessing for the country and the big people. Since the people of the time are so superstitious about nursery rhymes, Chen Caozhi must certainly make full use of them. ,
