In the next year, the Eastern Jin Dynasty changed the Yuan, which was the first year of Xianhe, and his relative Yu Liang continued to control the government and the opposition. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 It didn't take long for Yu Liang to kill the opposition Nandun Wang Sima Zong internally, and openly suppressed and suspected Jingzhou Mu Taokan, Yuzhou Mu Zuyue and other feudal towns, and finally hated each other with Su Jun, a strong vassal, and gradually became incompatible. Under the politeness that the country barely maintains on the surface, in fact, there is an undercurrent. The imperial court planned to paralyze Su Jun with the high-ranking official Houlu, and then recall him to Jiankang and then get rid of him, Su Jun knew this, refused the imperial court's conscription several times, and began to secretly deploy troops, and invited the same resentful Zu Yue to discuss the rebellion.

Su Jun was a scholar when he was a teenager, talented and brave, and his reputation was far and wide. Later, when the Central Plains was in turmoil, Su Jun gathered the township party, gathered the exiles, and built a dock fort to protect himself. Later, Hu Lu and the rebels were too disturbed, and Su Jun led hundreds of his subordinates to cross the sea and move to the south. When he arrived in Guangling, the imperial court commended him for coming from afar to serve and appointed him as General Yingyang. Later, Su Jun also helped the imperial court to quell the local rebels, etc., and was repeatedly promoted to the post of Lanling Minister.

Wang Dun rebelled, and Su Jun stood on the side of the court and went against Wang Dun. Wang Dun sent Su Jun's brother to pass the word, coerced and lured him to attach, but Su Jun was unmoved, led the army to Beijing, several bloody battles, and helped the imperial court to pacify Wang Dun, because of his merit promoted to the envoy festival, champion general, Liyang internal history, Jiasan cavalry permanent servant, the title of Shaoling County Duke, the imperial court let him sit in Liyang, and entrusted Jiangbei to him, making it another powerful new strong feudal with real power in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Su Jun was proud of his great achievements, and he was conceited that he had strong soldiers under his command, and gradually began to be proud of the court. And Su Jun was not from a famous family, and the imperial court only used his strength to quell the rebellion, but in fact, he was very contemptuous and disdainful, and suspicious and bored. Especially when Yu Liang was in charge, he was more scathing, and he couldn't tolerate Su Jun anymore, so in the name of the emperor, he gave high-ranking officials Houlu and issued an edict to recruit him to Jiankang, Su Jun begged for exemption several times, but the government and the opposition did not allow it.

Seeing that the imperial court really showed signs of getting rid of him, Su Jun also felt anxious and afraid, so he took the initiative to give in, begged the imperial court several times, and even swore emotionally that he would never dare to forget the grace of the first emperor, and would definitely fight for the Central Plains for the imperial court.

But after Yu Liang got the letter, he was unmoved, refused again, and resolutely asked Su Jun to come to Jiankang. Su Jun was furious and said to the envoy: "In the past, the country was in danger, and it was not for me. Now that the cunning rabbit is dead, the hound should be cooked, and I have already died by myself, but I have been wronged for no reason, and I will die to understand it. ”

In despair and anger, Su Jun rebelled blatantly, and pulled up the Yuzhou Assassin Shi Zuyue, who had long resented the imperial court, and at the same time attacked, and the Jianghuai area was not stable for a few years, and the military disaster broke out again.

After Su Jun's rebellion, he sent troops to fight several battles with the imperial army, but he was overwhelmed. Yu Liang saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly fled first, Su Jun attacked Jiankang in one go, and appointed Zaifu to monopolize the power, and gave amnesty to the world, but did not pardon Yu.

Yu Liang was embarrassed, and had no choice but to lower his posture and abandon his face, praying that when he was bullied by himself in the past, he had offended various feudal towns to rescue King Qin. Since he fled to Xunyang, he went to Wuchang and relied on Jiangzhou Mu Wenqiao.

At the time of the fall of the country, Jiangzhou Mu Wenqiao did not wait for much to say, and stepped forward to swear to beg the thief, and moved the book to wait and see, Jingzhou Mu Taokan, who was waiting and watching, persuaded him to temporarily put aside his personal grievances with Yu Liang, and instead released his previous suspicions to the outside world. So he inspired the probation soldiers with great righteousness, and joined forces to openly crusade against Su Jun, and the land of Jiangdong was once again horned into the abyss for a while, and the drums were rumbling.

Shinno Castle.

Xie Ai, dressed in a moon-white Confucian robe, stood with his hands in his hands, silently looking at the topographic map on the wall. From a distance, he is a young scholar with a pen, and a military commander who commands thousands of troops and horses and wins a decisive victory thousands of miles away, seems to be completely incompatible. But it is indisputable that Xie Ai's name has become more and more sharp. The court is also very suspicious of him, which also confirms his outstanding ability from the side.

On the wall of the chamber, in addition to the map of Liangzhou, Jingzhou, but also the map of Yizhou, Sizhou, Yangzhou and even Hebei. Although Xie Ai is now mostly familiar with the fortresses, mountains, rivers, and Daze above, he still has such a habit of following Han Yong around and seeing it in the past, so he basically wants to come and see it every day.

A few days ago, the imperial court crossed Gao Yue and directly issued an order to him, telling him to also send troops to the east to King Qin to jointly crusade against Su Jun. However, because Gao Yue was not angry with the imperial court several times before unreasonable suspicion and suppression, he was determined to start to break away from the Jin Dynasty and become independent, and even secretly ordered Xie Ai to find an opportunity to plan Jingxiang, so Xie Ai has not yet made any response to the imperial court's call, and he is considering the current situation, how to sort out a favorable situation.

was watching silently, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a voice came in urgently: "Junhou! Intercepted a piece of the latest message! ”

Listening to the voice, Xie Ai didn't need to look at it to know that this was the main book Zhao Zhao. Because of Zhao Zhao's many strange tricks and a lot of praise, Xie Ai now relies on him very much, and takes him with him as a close staff, and he can also talk about various military, situation, political situation, etc., which is quite compatible.

"Wentong, it must be an important thing to come to me so urgently." Xie Ai called Zhao Zhao's expression, and said unhurriedly: "Take a breath, drink a glass of water, and come over to talk in detail." ”

"The subordinates are not thirsty, let's talk about things first!" Zhao Zhaoxing hurriedly stepped forward and presented a piece of paper in his hand: "Prince, you see, the scouts in front intercepted it, the imperial court actually called Tao Kan of Jingzhou, pay close attention to us, as long as we send troops to the king of Qinwang on the front foot, we will ask Tao Kan to take the opportunity to attack Xinye on the back foot, and after completely uprooting our stronghold in the Jingxiang area, we will follow the trail and sneak in pursuit, and it is better to annihilate our army." ”

"Oh? That's bad news. Xie Ai glanced at Zhao Zhao with a deep meaning, and said with a smile: "Why did Wentong come here with a happy face?" ”

"Returning to the king, my subordinates are happy, because the opportunity we have been waiting for for a long time should have come!"

"Hmm...... Don't rush, speak slowly. Didn't Tao Kan just leave Jiangling, take 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers, and go east of the river to Wuchang to join Wen Qiao? Why do you still want to beat me Shinno? ”

"Whew! It's all a trick to paralyze us! Tao Kan is known as a famous general in the world, will he really leave no backhand at all? Zhao Zhao smiled and said: "However, the first thing my subordinates want to say is that Tao Kan was indeed quite reluctant for us to borrow Xinye and station troops on his territory for a long time, but Tao Kan was also suspicious and guarded by the imperial court and Yu Liang, and he was resentful of the imperial court, which is obvious to all." At present, he was blamed by Wen Qiao for righteousness and interests, temporarily let go of his knot, and reluctantly went to the king of Mengqin, in fact, how could his resentment for many years be dissipated immediately? ”

"Although he received a secret order from the imperial court to deal with us, we know this trick of killing people with a knife, and Tao Kan will know it even more. The prince imagined that he Tao Kan was going to send troops to Qin Wang on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to divide his troops to destroy our army, how could he deal with it? At that time, he will be greatly damaged, and it will be easier for the court to pinch him again? Therefore, Tao Kan will inevitably protect his strength, and will never obey the instructions of the imperial court to be the first bird of this generation to be Yu Liang. ”

"According to the exact information, before Tao Kan left, on the outskirts of Xiangyang, there were 15,000 elites left, and the powerful general Guan Hua was under the command of the commander, specifically guarding against our army. However, Tao Kan strictly ordered Guan Hua that as long as our army did not take the initiative to offend, then the Jingzhou army was not allowed to take the initiative to attack, and all provocations were prohibited. To put it bluntly, Tao Kan asked Guan Hua that if the enemy does not move, I will not move, as long as I pay close attention to the monitoring. Therefore, even if we leave Xinye, the Jingzhou army will not take the initiative to attack. ”

Xie Ai nodded, paused for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "The trouble is here." The king's will, you also know, wants us to break the deadlock and take advantage of the situation to attack Jingxiang. But now that the Jingzhou army does not take the initiative to attack us, how can we stab people in the back under the premise that he sent troops to the king? I am worried that this will inevitably damage the reputation of our army, and even lead to the loss of popular support, which will be very detrimental to the complete control of Jingzhou in the future! What I mean by this is that there must be an opportunity for us to send troops in a justifiable manner and still be accepted by public opinion. ”

"If the Jingzhou army doesn't take the initiative to come, then we can let them take the initiative!" Zhao Zhao smiled with a mysterious expression. This is his consistent reverse thinking style, if there is no difficulty, then simply take the initiative to create difficulties.

Seeing that Xie Ai hadn't reacted for a while, Zhao Zhao said bluntly: "Now, Tao Kan has received a secret order from the imperial court to get rid of us, but he is only on guard and unwilling to respond to the order, which is simply best for us." Taking advantage of this vacancy, Jun Hou can choose a partial division, change to wear the armor uniform of the imperial army, raise the banner of the Jingzhou army, secretly go out of the city at night to hide, and then at dawn, make a big show to attack our Xinye City, and at the same time, the content of the secret decree given by the imperial court to Tao Kan is ordered to be spread everywhere, and strive to make the peddlers and pawns also known to everyone. In this way, everyone in the world will know that after we were repeatedly suppressed by suspicion and jealousy, we were suddenly attacked by the court for no reason, so we had no choice but to resist. ”
