Chapter 335: After the Chaos Peace

The two chatted for a while. Wang Dun turned to www.biquge.info pen and said, "...... Gao Yue is the king? Good court, good court. Although he stopped talking for a while, the indignation and contempt were obvious.

Qian Feng replied peacefully: "Yes." The imperial court has made him the king of Qin. Speaking of which, the court is really unfair to you, Duke Ming! He Gao Yue is far away in the northwest, and the court can't see or touch it, but he has repelled the Huns a few times, and he has repeatedly rewarded him for his merits, and now he is making an exception to be crowned a king. But did the territory laid by Gao Yue ever have a land of size that was included in the jurisdiction of the imperial court? The order of a county in the country, was it appointed by the imperial court? Although it is a feudal town, it is actually self-reliant. On the other hand, just because Ming Gong is close at hand, the imperial court will ignore your past support for Zanyi, and everywhere is not pleasing to the eye, all kinds of precautions and suspicions, isn't it chilling? Therefore, his subordinates have always said that such a court will force people to rebel if they are not opposed. ”

Wang Dun's face was cold, and he snorted heavily: "Gao Yue, the village man in the mountains, can now ascend to the high hall and enjoy the very famous name, and he is afraid that he will not teach the world's celebrities to laugh to death." And my famous family, the wealthy family of Jiangbiao, has been repeatedly excluded and despised by others, and even regarded as a confidant. Hmph, put the cart before the horse, I knew that I shouldn't have made him the emperor in the first place. You're right, since the Son of Heaven is becoming more and more stupid, it is better to depose him earlier. And the Sima family has always been without virtue and talent, I Langya Wang, there are many heroes, why do you have to bend to this kind of mediocre master, it is better to be independent. ”

Qian Feng couldn't wait for him to speak like this, and flattered him again in person. While he was talking, another scout came on board the ship and presented two scrolls of paper, but he said that one of them was the edict of the King of Qin that he had just received, and it was also being spread to the world; The other is a military newspaper from Xiangzhou.

"Show it to me!"

This time, Wang Dun did not have the same understated composure as when he read the holy decree. He took two steps, snatched it from the scout's hand, and immediately began to stare at it. Qian Feng's face also became pale, and he hurriedly came over to take a closer look.

On weekdays, when he reads letters and newspapers, etc., Wang Dun almost always reads ten lines at a glance, but now he reads them word by word, and after reading this, he goes to see that one, and then re-reads it again.

"Gao Yue is treacherous, really don't be gullible!"

Finally, unable to find any additional valuable information, Wang Dun put down the two paper rolls, his face was already cold and terrible, he put his hands behind his back, walked straight to the side of the ship, looked at the sky and thought to himself, and suddenly became bored in his heart. Qian Feng silently walked to Wang Dun's side, frowning and groaning for a while, considering countermeasures in his heart.

In the first recital, Gao Yue righteously expressed that he could not tolerate Wang Dun's rebellious behavior, and resolutely stood on the side of Emperor Sima Rui and severely reprimanded Wang Dun. Gao Yue not only responded with practical actions, and had already sent troops east to Jingzhou to help the imperial court quell the rebellion, but also called on the north and south of the world in the name of the king of Qin, all the feudal towns loyal to the royal family, or the righteous people of the people, to immediately take action and jointly contribute to the early extermination of the rebels.

The second report is the latest battle report. Wei Yi besieged Changsha City, and when he was about to succeed, he did not watch out for the sudden arrival of the Qin army. Wei Yi was caught off guard, and his soldiers were also frightened inexplicably, and when it was gradually chaotic, Sima Cheng, the king of Qiaojun in the city, sent more than 1,000 soldiers who dared to die. Wei Yi fought with him angrily, and was hacked to death before he was twenty times, and the rest of the army immediately collapsed, so the military besieging Changsha was regarded as a failure.

The two reports were both extremely bad news. Wang Dun slapped the bulwark and said hatefully: "...... If I gain power in the future, I will be a good thief! He turned his head to look at Qian Feng, and saw that his face was solemn and thoughtful, so he said again, "Shiyi, now that the attack on Xiangzhou has failed, the Qin thief and Sima Cheng will meet, and the momentum will inevitably be very loud. If they take advantage of the situation to attack north, how can I be good if the fundamental land of Jingzhou is empty? What if I go back to Gangneung right now, do you think it's okay? ”

"No!"

Qian Feng suddenly woke up from his contemplation, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Absolutely not!" General, so far, there has been no alarm in Shangyong and Zigui, indicating that there has been no enemy attack. So, how the Qin army arrived in Xiangzhou, we really don't know at the moment. However, since Wei Yi's soldiers were defeated and died, the current situation in Xiangzhou has been corrupted, and it is irreversible for a while. Then, the current strategy is to simply let it go, speed up the march, and go straight to Jiankang, as long as the emperor is captured, he can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and then the general will be Emperor Wei Wu, and Gao Yue will be strong, after all, it will only be Yuan Benchu. ”

"But Gangneung is my fundamental place, and I can't afford to lose ......"

"Gangneung is important, which is Jiankang? Gao Yue is prosperous, who is with the emperor? At present, the general is a wise man who must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, but he is a puzzle of concern and chaos. The current situation is that the arrow has to be sent on the string, if you return halfway, even if you spend a lot of effort to repel the Qin army, the general is tired of running for his life in vain. At that time, I wanted to mobilize the soldiers again, and set off again to be the enemy of the Son of Heaven again, and my morale was weak and depressed. And the imperial court continues to issue edicts to denounce the public as a thief, so that the whole world will come together to crusade, how to deal with it? Therefore, please follow the words of your subordinates, and resolutely march eastward in one go, as long as Jiankang is defeated and the emperor is captured, it is to temporarily cede Jiangling to him, what is it worth? ”

The more Qian Feng spoke, the more anxious he became, and in the end, he even made his voice a lot louder, and it was rude to forget it. He stared at Wang Dun tightly, for fear that this master would change his mind at the moment, insisting on returning to the division to fight with the Qin army, wasting his energy in vain where it should not be wasted, and giving up the good situation in front of him. Qian Feng secretly wondered, how much effort had been spent in the past, and finally persuaded Wang Dun to openly rebel, Qian Feng himself was full of ambition and excited, if he suddenly went back, don't talk about him, his subordinates and soldiers, how many people have to be disappointed, then the people's hearts will be scattered, everything will be over, and in the end, they can escape the pursuit of the court and save a head, even if it is an unexpected joy.

Wang Dun took his hands and walked back and forth on the side of the ship rapidly, thinking left and right in his mind, heaven and man were at war. Subconsciously stretched out his head, and the waves of cold mist around him almost moistened his head and face into his skin. Listening to the roaring sound of the surging river, it became more and more urgent, Wang Dun's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the eastward water like an arrow from the string, he suddenly turned around, and what caught his eyes was Qian Feng's eager and expectant eyes.

"Pass my general order - the whole army will be drawn and go straight to Jiankang!"

A few days later, Wang Dun's rebels went down the river to the east and arrived in the west of Jiankang City, where the Beijing division was under martial law, and the emperor personally put on armor and came to the city. Wang Dun originally planned to attack Jincheng, the outer town where Liu Kui was stationed, but his subordinates advised him that it would be better to attack Stone City directly, and Wang Dun agreed. Zhou Za, who was stationed in Stone Town, was already dissatisfied with the imperial court, so he directly opened the door to welcome the surrender. Subsequently, Wang Dun defeated the attacks of Liu Kui, Dai Yuan, Zhou Yi, Diao Xie and others, and Jiankang City became an isolated city without defense, completely exposed in front of Wang Dun.

In October of the first year of Yongchang, Liangzhou Assassin Shi Xie Ai and Xiangzhou Assassin Sima Cheng joined forces, after defeating Wei Yi's army and pacifying Xiangzhou, they went north to attack Jingzhou, and successively captured Jiangling and Xiangyang, so the land of Jingzhou, from south to north, was not owned by Fuwangdun. But at this time, Wang Dun had already captured Jiankang and controlled Yangzhou, the foundation of the imperial court, and his momentum was even more vigorous. Liu Kui and Diao Xie fled to Later Zhao, and Dai Yuan, Zhou Yi and other ministers loyal to the imperial court were killed. Wang Dun placed the Son of Heaven under house arrest, proclaimed himself the prime minister, the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, the king of Chu, and then returned to Wuhu, remotely controlled the imperial court, and the military and political affairs were all from himself, and the emperor began to become an ornament.

Soon after, the Qin army and Sima Cheng's army began to prepare to advance eastward to continue the rebellion. Guangzhou stabbed Shi Taokan, and also sent troops north to echo each other. Wang Dun was overbearing, scolding Gao Yue and Sima Cheng for being rebels with ill intentions, while Qin Wangjun also confronted each other and sent letters all over the place, denouncing Wang Dunnai as a usurper and rebel who acted far and wide. The two sides were arguing with each other, and they even fought hard, and the south was also in flames, and the war was endless.

Under internal and external troubles, Sima Rui became ill and became bedridden. At the end of the year, Sima Rui finally died in unwillingness to hate and rage, at the age of forty-seven, reigning for six years, known as Emperor Yuan, and the temple name Zhongzong. The crown prince Sima Shao succeeded to the throne and changed the first year of Taining to the first year of the Yuan Dynasty.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, Wang Dun deceived him into being young and his foundation was still shallow, so he couldn't bear it anymore and began to seek to usurp the throne, and he led a large army to move to the town. The Jin court also secretly took all effective measures to take precautions. It was a time of crisis, Xie Ai's Liangzhou army and Sima Cheng's Xiangzhou army were already about to attack Jiangzhou and began to attack Wuchang City. Wang Dun was sick at this time, and he couldn't help but be furious when he heard the news, and personally led his troops up the river to fight with King Qin's army, and the two sides could not hold each other. The imperial court took advantage of the situation to recruit Linhuai Taishou Su Jun and others to send troops to fight, but Wang Dun was attacked from both sides, could not support it, and began to decline. Emperor Sima Shao was even more personally driving, adding the last important weight to the situation of defeating the Wang Dun Rebellion.

Wang Dun was angry and anxious, and his condition became more and more serious, but he still barely supported the deployment of counterattacks, but he was repeatedly disadvantaged. He also sent Qian Feng to supervise the army to attack Jiankang again, but was defeated by the emperor and his army. In the second year of Taining, Wang Dun was ill and finally died, and the rest of the troops were still stubbornly resisting under the leadership of hardcore rebels such as Qian Feng and Shen Chong, but the foundation had fallen, how could the branches and leaves still flourish, and it didn't take long for Qian Shen and others to be exterminated one after another, so far Wang Dun's rebellion was completely pacified.

The great rebellion was peaceful, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty court finally breathed a sigh of relief. The imperial court gave varying degrees of praise to various Qinwang forces inside and outside the court, or courtiers who were in enemy camps and feudal towns but were always loyal to the imperial family. However, in the end, in the face of Gao Yue, the king of Qin, the imperial court became vague, and its attitude became subtle.
