Chapter 760 Attacking Wei Zheng
Chen Liang was defeated that year, surrendered to Du Fuwei, and was placed under house arrest by Du Fuwei, if it wasn't for Li Jing who went to Liyang on behalf of Wan He to win over Du Fuwei and plead for him, I am afraid that Chen Liang would have died at the hands of Du Fuwei. It is precisely because of this that Chen Liang also knows Du Fuwei's subordinates very well, especially as Du Fuwei's deputy Fu Gongyou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Huh!" Hearing Chen Liang's questioning, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled, gently brushed the long beard left by the beard that had only started to grow recently, and said with a smile: "General Chen doesn't know anything!" Although Nafu Gongyou has been friends with Du Fuwei for many years, he is also ambitious! If it weren't for Du Fuwei's strength, I'm afraid that Fu Gongyou would have already gone out on his own! And this time, Du Fuwei went south to attack Xiao Miao, and handed over Liyang to his righteous son Kan Ling, but he let Fu Gongyou serve as a deputy, which had already made Fu Gongyou dissatisfied! If we can make a little effort out of it, we can't say ......."
Eldest Sun Wuji's words were only halfway said, and he didn't continue, but everyone present knew what Eldest Sun Wuji meant, which was nothing more than to provoke the relationship between Fu Gongyou and Du Fuwei, so that Fu Gongyou would turn against him!
"Hmm!" Wan He frowned, it has been so many years in this era, Wan He has almost forgotten the history he knew in later generations, so what happened to Du Fuwei in the end, Wan He can't remember, let alone what Fu Gongyou. However, Wan He is already very convinced of the wisdom of the eldest grandson Wuji, since the eldest grandson Wuji is so sure, Wan He naturally chooses to believe him. Immediately, Wan He just nodded and said, "Then do what Wuji said!" It's just that who should be sent to contact that assistant Gongyou? β
Of course, Wan He will not forget the key issue, even if Fu Gongyou really has a different heart for Du Fuwei, then he has to send someone to lobby him! And this lobbyist has to be bold and careful in addition to being eloquent, which is not something that anyone can do if he goes deep into the enemy's territory.
Hearing Wan He's question, the eldest grandson Wuji just smiled faintly, the corner of his eyes slanted behind him, and said with a smile: "The most suitable person, isn't it right in front of the prince's eyes?" In this Luoyang City, who can compare to Wang Shuyu and Wang Shuyu? β
As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji's voice fell, the eyes of almost everyone present were focused on a minister behind the eldest grandson Wuji, who was the famous man Wang Qi and Wang Shuji, who had fled from Chang'an with Wanhe before!
was stared at by so many ministers at once, Rao is Wang Qi is not an ordinary person, and he was also a little unbearable. However, Wang Qi is also very grateful to the eldest grandson Wuji for recommending him to take on such an important task, after all, since he arrived in Luoyang, he has never had the opportunity to make any great contributions to Wan He, but Wan He gave him a high-ranking official and a good fortune, which made Wang Qi feel ashamed. Now that there is an opportunity to prove his strength, Wang Jue will naturally not let it go, and immediately bowed to Wan He and shouted: "The lower official is willing to serve the prince!" β
"Oh?" Seeing Wang Jue coming out, Wan He also remembered that when he was in Tongguan that day, it was also Wang Jue who went to Tongguan and persuaded Qu Tutong to surrender, which shows that Wang Jue's ability is indeed not small. Immediately, Wan He narrowed his eyes, glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and then at Wang Qi, and finally nodded with a smile and said: "Lord Wang's ability, this king naturally knows!" Such a heavy task is indeed not up to the task! β
When Wan He said this, then this matter was basically decided, of course, it was impossible to send Wang Jue to Liyang so rashly, it would be more efficient to directly lift Wang Jue to the city and throw him to his death. Regarding Wang Jue's trip to Liyang, there are still many related matters to deal with, and these things don't need to be managed by Wanhe, naturally someone can handle them properly.
After dealing with such a thing, Wan He's previous sleepiness was also a lot gone, but he came to a little spirit. Rubbing his nose, Wan He sat up straight, glanced at everyone, and said, "How is the war on the Huayin side?" β
The war mentioned by Wan He was a battle in which Li Jing went west to crusade against the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning, Li Shimin joined forces with the three kings of the border pass and Luo Yi to besiege Luoyang, but it was Wanhe's plan to flood the Seventh Army, first breaking the coalition army of Luo Yi and Liang Shidu in Jishui, and then relying on the relationship between Li Jing and Guo Zihe, Li Shimin was yin in Hongnong. Li Shi's militia was defeated and retreated to Huayin, and Li Jing pursued it even more, besieging Huayin for nearly a month!
"Return to the prince!" As soon as Wan He asked, the soldier who had sent the Yueyang battle report immediately came out again, bowed to Wan He, and said: "General Li Jing has besieged Huayin City for more than a month, but so far, there has not been a major war, and the Tang Army's supply of grain and grass in Huayin City is sufficient, and there is no sign of conquering Huayin City for the time being!" β
"Hissββ!" As soon as the squire of the military department said this, some of the ministers present immediately couldn't help but gasp! Most of them were former ministers of the Great Sui, and they also served in Yang Guang's court back then. Such a result, if it was reported to Yang Guang back then, it would inevitably make Yang Guang furious, and the crime of delaying the military plane would never be escaped, and it was even possible that Yang Guangzhi would be guilty of collaborating with the enemy. At present, it is Wan He who is in charge of the imperial court, if this Wan He and Yang Guang have the same temperament, then Li Jing will definitely die?
However, it is obvious that Wan He and Yang Guang are completely two tempers, not to mention that Li Jing has been by Wan He's side since Wan He's beginning, and Wan He naturally trusts Li Jing very much. After listening to the words of the squire of the military department, Wan He only frowned slightly, immediately waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Li Jing is doing this, I'm afraid that he wants to play some tricks!" Ha ha! Let him go! Li Jing has never disappointed this king! β
As soon as Wan He said this, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Wan He's personality is good, and those of them who are subordinates are naturally a lot easier. Immediately, another person came out of the ranks, bowed to Wan He, and said, "Lord Wang! The lower official has a word, please make a decision! β
Seeing this suddenly popping up, Wan He also fixed his eyes, it was not someone else, it was Wei Zheng, the famous minister of later generations! Seeing Wei Zheng suddenly pop out, Wan He was also a little inexplicable, after these years of contact, Wan He also knew that although Wei Zheng was resourceful, it was a pity that it was a tendon in his head, and he had made up his mind, no one could do anything about him, no wonder he would become such a minister in history!
Seeing Wei Zheng come out, Wan He also frowned, but he didn't know what Wei Zheng had to say, Wei Zheng's first admonition before was to prevent Wan He from continuing to recruit soldiers, Wan He responded, this time Wei Zheng should not let Wan He calm the war, what to convince people with virtue?
When I thought of myself banging on pots and bowls all day long, muttering something to convince people with virtue and convince people with virtue, Wan He was sweating, but Wei Zheng jumped out, Wan He couldn't let people even talk about it, right? Thinking of this, Wan He could only wave his hand with black lines in his head, and said, "Wei, what is Lord Wei's opinion?" β
When he saw Wan He and saw him, he looked like he was powerless, and Wei Zheng was also a little unclear So, when he first joined King Liang, King Liang still valued him very much, why did King Liang have a headache as soon as he opened his mouth now?
Although he didn't understand why Wan He had such an attitude, Wei Zheng continued: "Lord Wang! Xia Guan thought that although the Tang army was defeated in Hongnong, its strength was not damaged much, if our army and the Tang army fought repeatedly, the longer the war dragged on, it would only make the prince's soldiers and horses be dragged into the war endlessly! Therefore, the lower officials thought that if Huayin could not be captured in a short period of time, it would be better to let General Li withdraw his troops back to Luoyang as soon as possible, which would be the best policy! β
Really! As soon as he heard Wei Zheng's words, Wan He couldn't help but press his forehead, knowing that Wei Zheng wanted to put forward this kind of opinion, and after being in contact with Wei Zheng for a long time, Wan He's impression of Wei Zheng's aura was also exhausted, leaving the impression that he was old-fashioned and stubborn. Now it's to persuade Wan He not to use swords, I'm afraid it's for the sake of the people or something! Although Wanhe understands, he can't accept it! Retirement? Peaceful coexistence? Even if Wan He agrees, then he has to ask Li Shimin and Du Fuwei if they agree!
Seeing that Wan He's face was getting more and more ugly, Wei Zheng didn't mean to shut up at all, but took a step forward, held his chest up, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, the lower officials think that although Li Tang is a great enemy, he is not the most threatening enemy in front of the prince at present!" If you can withdraw Li Jing's army, concentrate your forces in the north, clear the rest of the Liang division, and revitalize the northern frontier, you will have no worries about the future, and you can devote yourself to the competition with Li Tang! β
"Lord Wei! The thing isn't, eh? Originally, I heard Wei Zheng continue to speak, Wan He is also a black line in his head, he couldn't help it, and wanted to open his mouth to dismiss, but he suddenly reacted, Wei Zheng's opening, why is it such murderous words? Is this still the old master Wei who cares about the people all day long, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light? Shouting and killing like this, Lord Wei Zheng, are you worthy of the name of the Zheng minister in your later history?
Wei Zheng didn't know the complex psychological changes in Wan He's heart, and when he saw that Wan He was silent, he thought that Wan He didn't listen to his words, so he was also a little anxious, frowning and taking another step forward, almost side by side with the eldest grandson Wuji, and said to Wan He again: "Lord Wang!" Although Liang Shidu is a minor disease, it is like a fish spine and throat, if it is not removed, it will definitely be very harmful in the future! If you don't take advantage of this defeat at the hands of the prince and lose your troops, and take it down in one go, if you want to capture Liang Shidu again in the future, it will definitely be ten times more difficult! Please think twice! β
