Chapter 414: On the Eve of the Great Change
For two days in a row, Wu Shaogang talked to the fourth master, close to two hours every day, no one else participated in such a conversation, and I don't know what Wu Shaogang talked to with the fourth master. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the third day, under the arrangement of Wu Shaogang, the fourth master left Chengdu Mansion and went to Jiading Mansion under the escort of the sergeant.
The fourth master left on the front foot, and Li Tingzhi, Hao Jing, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Wenqian and others received a notice and all came to the wing.
Wu Shaogang didn't have any expression on his face, he kept looking at the map on the wall, and his eyes were focused on Lin'an Mansion City and Lianghuai place.
Wu Shaogang didn't speak, and everyone wouldn't speak.
After being silent for about a quarter of an hour, Wu Shaogang finally turned around, looked at everyone, and spoke word by word.
"We always think that the capital is calm, but in fact, we still ignore that if there is no accident, the capital is about to undergo great changes, and this great change will lead to the complete destruction of the Great Song Dynasty."
Everyone was stunned, not knowing why Wu Shaogang would say such words.
"Yesterday and the day before yesterday, I talked a lot with the fourth master, and in the information provided by the fourth master in the past, there were many details that were not reflected, and it was precisely these details that reminded me of a lot of things."
"In fact, while paying attention to the intelligence of the capital, I have always been a little puzzled, why is the capital so calm, the Mongolian army has besieged the city of Xiangyang for several years, directly threatening the gateway of the Great Song Dynasty, is it true that those adults in the court really don't care, let this situation continue."
"Here, Xia Gui, Fan Wenhu and others led the army to rush to the aid of Xiangyang Mansion City, repeatedly, but they all failed, the court consumed a lot of money, and what they got was such an ending, is it really indifferent if the emperor is not."
"Back then, Jia Rudao forced the emperor to send the favored Hu Gui to the nunnery, and dismissed Hu Guifei's father's position, does the emperor really not care?"
"Jia Rudao is dictatorial in the court, and his power even exceeds that of the emperor, is this normal, is there no one in the court to speak, no one speaks openly, is there no one to impeach in secret."
"All of this is my doubt, I talked to the fourth master twice, and finally figured out some of the reasons."
When Wu Shao first said this, he fell into contemplation again, and seemed to be immersed in some doubt.
Wu Shaogang said these words, and no one would speak, everyone knew that when Wu Shaogang was pondering, don't bother, whenever this time, Wu Shaogang is making a major decision, as long as everyone revolves around this decision and expresses their own opinions and suggestions, it is okay.
After a quarter of an hour of silence again, Wu Shaogang's eyes looked at everyone.
He had an apologetic smile on his face.
"I asked my father-in-law and you to discuss the matter, but I didn't expect that I would fall into it and make you wait for a long time."
"The capital and the imperial court are no longer calm, a game of power struggle may appear soon, and the time when the power game appears is when Xiangyang Mansion City falls."
"Lu Wenhuan's blood letter proves that Xiangyang Mansion City can no longer be supported, if the imperial court continues to have no reaction, it will not be long before Lu Wenhuan will fall into complete despair, and Xiangyang Mansion City will fall, and it will be at that time, and I can conclude that Lu Wenhuan will take the initiative to open the city and surrender."
"The Mongol army has besieged Xiangyang Mansion City for several years, and it has consumed countless people, if it is taken by forcible attack, I am afraid that this city will suffer a merciless slaughter, Lu Wenhuan will definitely think of this, since it cannot be supported, and there is no external assistance, there is no need to let all the soldiers and the people in the city be buried together, so choosing to open the city gate and surrender is the best way to preserve."
"The contradiction between Lu Wende and Jia Nidao is already very deep, this contradiction began with the siege of Xiangyang Mansion by the Mongol army, Jia Rudao has no advantages in military deployment and command, and he himself understands this, so he must rely on the adults in the DPRK who are familiar with this aspect of the matter, Lu Wende is the best candidate, the battle of Diaoyu City, Lu Wende became famous in a battle, and no one in the court can stand out."
"But what Jia Rudao didn't expect is that Lu Wende is not the mentality of living under others, since the status is important, then it is necessary to start asking for some other matters, this time Lu Wende was named Taifu, which is the best proof, on the contrary, Jia Rudao doesn't think so, he doesn't want anyone to share power, reuse and rely on Lu Wende, just want Lu Wende to relieve the crisis of Xiangyang Mansion City."
"Lu Wende's brother Lu Wenhuan, stationed in Xiangyang Fucheng, resisting the Mongolian army for so many years, has long had a very good reputation in the DPRK, Lu Wende's son-in-law Fan Wenhu, controlled tens of thousands of troops, this is also an important force of Lu Wende, and more importantly, Lu Wende has been operating in Lianghuai for many years and has a good foundation."
"All this indicates that Lu Wende's strength has become stronger, and it is time to fight against Jia Yidao."
"Think about it, between Jia Yidao and Lu Wende, because of the game of power, there has been a huge conflict, what will be the final outcome."
。。。
Without much thought, Li Tingzhi spoke.
"I think that Lu Wende is no match for Jia Nidao, even if Lu Wende's strength is very strong, but Lu Wende is far away from the capital and cannot get the support of the emperor, in this case, Lu Wende and Jia Nidao have a conflict, which makes some sense, after all, Lu Wende himself understands this."
"What my father-in-law said is right, but there is one thing that we must pay attention to, that is, Lu Wenhuan, who is stationed in Xiangyang Mansion City, is very likely to choose to open the city gate and surrender, and at that time, will Lu Wende be implicated because of this, after all, Lu Wenhuan was personally recommended by Lu Wende."
Li Tingzhi slapped his thigh violently.
"That's right, how did I forget this layer, if Lu Wenhuan surrendered to the Mongolian Tatars, how could Jia Yidao let go of such a good opportunity, and he would definitely give Lu Wende a heavy blow, but Lu Wende would not accept punishment out of thin air, so the contradiction between the two will completely break out."
Speaking of this, Li Tingzhi's face suddenly turned a little pale.
"Cangling, what do you mean is that when Lu Wenhuan opens the city gate and surrenders, Lu Wende will also make such a choice, so even if Jia Rudao has great ability, he can't help it."
Wu Shaogang nodded again and again.
"What my father-in-law said is, I also think of this layer, if Lu Wende defects to the Great Yuan Court, your situation will not be easy to say, Lu Wende is not only the prince of the court, but also the envoy of the two Huai system, the father-in-law knows the status of the two Huai, if the two Huai are not guaranteed, then the capital will be directly exposed to the command of the Mongolian army."
"But judging from the current situation, I have to make such a judgment, Lu Wende's current foundation is obviously no match for Jia Nidao, after all, Jia Rudao has the support of the emperor, but the development of the situation has forced Lu Wende to act, once Lu Wende admits defeat, it means that Lu Wende will never be able to turn over, and the contradiction between Lu Wende and Jia Nidao should have reached the point of irreconcilability, if Jia Nidao seized this opportunity, he would not let it go, and he would definitely severely punish Lu Wende."
The crowd was already a little fascinated by what they had heard.
"Lu Wende's strength is not weak, and he thinks he has the ability and conditions to challenge Jia Nidao, but unfortunately, Jia Nidao belongs to the veterans here, and he has already discovered the clues."
"I found out this from the fourth master's attitude towards Lu Wende, Jia seems to be a deep thinker, and he will never say anything about major confidential matters, let alone leak the slightest, even if he doesn't say it to the fourth master, it's a pity that Jia Yidao is not a fairy, and he will always reveal his emotions on weekdays, from the fourth master's dislike of Lu Wende, I feel that Jia Yidao has an unusual taboo for Lu Wende."
"In fact, the fourth master came to Sichuan as an envoy, not to ask us to send troops to rescue Xiangyang Fucheng, but to get our support, when Jia Rudao and Lu Wende are playing, we don't want to stand on Lu Wende's side, after all, there was still a good intersection between me and Lu Wende, and Lu Wende is the one who recommended and promoted me."
By the time he said this, the crowd understood exactly what he meant.
However, everyone knows that Wu Shaogang will not particularly care about the game of power in the court, there are too many things like that, and Jia Rudao's position is also obtained through the game of power, and he has calculated a lot of people.
Sure enough, Wu Shaogang's words changed.
"This upcoming power game, no matter who wins, is extremely unfavorable to us, if Lu Wende wins, his ambition is high, it is difficult to convince the people in the court, it will definitely make the government fall into an incomparably chaotic rule, and our Sichuan will also be affected, Lu Wende will not acquiesce to the development of our power like Jia Yidao."
"If Jia Rudao wins, then Lu Wende will definitely return to the Dayuan court, including Fan Wenhu and others, and I am afraid that they will follow Lu Wende to join the Dayuan court, it should be said that Lu Wende and others know that the Great Song court can no longer hold on, rather than encountering Jia Nidao's calculations, it is better to take refuge in the Dayuan court, which is also a good choice."
"Once Lu Wende defects to the Great Yuan Dynasty, it will make the attack of the Great Yuan Dynasty much smoother, and the Mongol army will be able to take Lianghuai and other places in the shortest possible time, and the imperial court will lose all its barriers and be unable to resist the attack of the Mongol army."
After making so much analysis, Wu Shaogang seemed to be a little tired, and gently patted his forehead with his hand.
It was Li Tingzhi who spoke.
"In my opinion, we must quickly take Kaifeng Fucheng and the entire Henan Province when Xiangyang Fucheng is captured, so that we can take the initiative and not be afraid of major changes in the imperial court." (To be continued.) )
