Chapter 202: The Surrender of the Three Surnamed Yang Kan
Gao Huan put aside all the twists and turns about Xiao Daoquan on the table, Gao Longzhi stood at the bottom with a calm demeanor, Gao Yue looked very domineering, he is now a spring breeze proud, why do you say that, because his father-in-law Qian Miao is full of joy to gather people and horses to annex the Wang clan in Fujian first, this is of course also a military action taken with Gao Longzhi's acquiescence and instruction.
Yang Kan followed the waiter into the hall in high spirits, only to see that he did not pay tribute to Gao Huan, but just gave his hand. Gao Yue said a little dissatisfied: "Our king is also the co-master of the world now, how did you see that the supreme is this style?" Do you still think that you are the secretary of the military department and the general? Gao Huan waved his hand and said: "Hugh is rude, General Yang is the person I respect the most, and there is no need to stick to vulgar etiquette." As he spoke, he pointed to the chair next to him and smiled: "General Yang sat down and spoke." Then the maid brought the teacup.
Yang Kan didn't refuse, so he found a chair and sat down, and Gao Yue and Gao Longzhi also sat down separately. Gao Huan didn't wait for Yang Kan to open his mouth before complaining, he said with a smile: "Alas, the territory of Southern Liang is so large (at that time, the Northern Wei Dynasty accounted for half of China's land and 85% of the population, and the Eastern Wei and Western Wei divided the population and land equally, so the Southern Liang was the largest country in terms of land area at that time) exceeded my expectations, and I thought that it would be enough to send a few people to govern these places, but I never expected that it would not be the case at all.
Yan Xing (Gao Longzhi) wrote to me every day about the hardships of governing the Southern Liang, and Hong Luo (Gao Yue) often complained to me because the troops were not enough to defend the border. I am also powerless, I don't have time to think about rectifying the Sanwu area, and I want a veteran like General Yang to be idle at home, it seems that I am still Gao Huan who is not good enough character and has no face. As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and refilled the cup for Yang Kan.
Yang Kan hurriedly got up and said: "Where did the king say, the minister thinks very highly of himself, and he is proud of his achievements, thinking that he can get the king's approval by relying on the old and selling the old, but now the Liang country is divided, the war is raging, and the people are also displaced. As he spoke, he was going to bow down to Gao Huan.
Gao Huan hurriedly held his arm to prevent him from bowing, and said in his mouth: "General Yang can't help it, don't let it be, as long as you are willing to go out of the mountain to help me Gao Huan, I will hand over the affairs of the entire Nanliang to you, and let Hong Luo and Yanxing be your right and left hands." The three of you work together to re-govern the Liang State and drive it up. ”
Yang Kan's sudden change of attitude towards Gao Huan made even Gao Yue and Gao Longzhi ashamed of themselves, this old fox is a chicken thief, he never drops the chain at critical moments, knows when to make a move, and does not hesitate at all. At this time, Yang Kan said very respectfully: "Thanks to the king's mistaken love, if you can help the king, it is also an honor for the minister." ”
Gao Huan continued: "If there is chaos today, the Central Plains has been fighting for hundreds of years, and the people are looking forward to the day when the world will be unified and prosperous will come as soon as possible. ”
Gao Huan's words had never been said by Gao Yue and Gao Longzhi before, because the time was not ripe at that time, Gao Huan felt that it was too early to say those words, and it was too self-sufficient, but now it is different, Yuwentai is dead, Wei can be unified again, and the Southern Liang side is basically in a state of separation, as long as the north is unified, the south is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and it is only a matter of time before it is unified, plus they now occupy the richest and most prosperous Sanwu region in Southern Liang, and they are already in an advantageous position geographically.
Although the Southern Liang ****** led by Xiao Daoquan could not command the whole country, at least Gao Huan had justifiable reasons and excuses to crusade against those traitors like Xiao Duo, Wang Kuang, Shiyan, and Wu Jing. This is called the suppression of public opinion.
Yang Kan values his two advantages, so he willingly wants to work together, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, the world has fallen apart for a long time, it doesn't matter if it is a long time to be together, maybe Gao Huan is really the man who can reunify China. So he said to Gao Huan with confidence: "As long as the king can trust the minister, the minister can even persuade Chen Ba to surrender to us first." ”
This is simply great news, Gao Huan was immediately interested, because Xiao Duo had left Wang Seng Bian before, but then Chen Baxian ran over inexplicably, which was like a tiger with wings, which made Gao Huan annoyed for a while. Now Yang Kan actually said that he could lure Chen Baxian over, not to mention Gao Huan, even Gao Longzhi and Gao Yue, who started it, wanted to listen to his high opinions.
Gao Huan asked incredulously: "What is General Yang's opinion of Chen Baxian?" Yang Kan stroked his beard and the old god said: "Chen Baxian is a person who pays attention to loyalty and filial piety, and he comes to pay attention to honor. This Xiao Duo is nothing more than a thief who gathers people to stand on his own, the reason why Chen Baxian joined him is that at this moment, there is no descendant of Xiao Yan in the Liang State except him, so he has to defect. ”
Gao Huan was a little puzzled, so he asked, "Does he think that Xiao Daoquan is not qualified to be the emperor, and Xiao Duo can be the emperor instead?" Yang Kan smiled: "That's also one of the reasons, after all, Xiao Duo is a little closer to the first emperor than Xiao Daoquan, after all, he is his own father and son." Besides, he was afraid that someone in the city would not be able to tolerate him, so he didn't dare to come over. The second half of the sentence is obviously talking about Gao Longzhi and Gao Yue's previous conspiracy against Chen Baxian. The two of them chuckled in their hearts, bowed their heads and drank tea, and did not dare to look up at people.
Gao Huan said: "Who in Taicheng will have a general with him?" Yang Kan said indifferently: "The king doesn't have to worry about this problem, now if you really want to win over Chen Ba first, please arrange two people, as long as these two people are arranged, Chen Baxian will definitely be easily co-opted." Looking at him with a confident look, even Gao Yue and Gao Longzhi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Which two people?" ”
Yang Kan smiled: "Wang Seng Bian and me." Before Gao Yue asked why, Gao Huan and Gao Longzhi already understood in their hearts, this is called smart, as long as people speak halfway, they will all understand what the speaker means. Wang Seng Bian was a general under Xiao Duo, and he was excluded and had no choice but to come over, but when it came to Xiao Daoquan's side, neither the emperor nor Gao Yue reused him, but only arranged for him to be the general of Zhennan and the assassin of Dongyangzhou.
Gao Huan then said: "I know a little bit about Wang Seng Bian, he is very experienced in defending the city, but he is too cowardly in fighting, how to say it, in short, this person is overwhelmed, and it is already very worthy of him to give him an idle position." Yang Kan smiled: "The king really knows how to make good use of people, Wang Seng Bian is indeed unambitious and shallow, we reuse him just to show those who are still hesitating, they see that even Wang Seng Bian has been reused by you, and he has not rubbed his shoulders to come to you?" ”
Gao Huan is very useful to Yang Kan for patting his own ass in disguise, if he doesn't know how to use it well, Murong Shaozong will not become a general of the first army, Yang Xiuzhi will not be able to become the minister of the humerus in the current court, and Gao Longzhi will not be able to come up to the position of Nanliang's agent. But Wang Seng Bian, he still has no bottom in his heart. It's easy for this person to be promoted, but it's not so easy to get him down.
Gao Huan asked worriedly: "Then how should Chen Ba arrange after he defects first?" Yang Kan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the minister can let Chen Ba surrender first, and then let Wang Seng Bian go back." The implication is that Gao Huan is worried about the problem, and he has already thought of a way to solve it. Gao Huan couldn't help but admire: "General Yang is worthy of being a famous general." Gao Huan suddenly didn't speak, stared at him with his eyes and said, "You won't do this to me one day, right?" Yang Kan immediately got up and knelt on the ground and swore to the sky: "I, Yang Kan, swear in the name of my ancestors and ancestors, I will never do anything like a slave with three surnames, and if I violate it, I will not die a good death than sooner than God." ”
Gao Huan hurriedly pretended to be anxious and helped him up and said, "Alas, General Yang, why do you think this? I'm just asking, don't take it seriously. Yang Kan said with a real expression: "King Mingjian, the minister's words are true, and he doesn't dare to have the slightest falsehood in it." "The two of them swore to each other here, and Gao Yue and Gao Longzhi watched it very interestingly.
After the four of them chatted for a while, Yang Kan said to Gao Huan mysteriously: "King, in fact, Brother Chenhai secretly wants to report to you. Gao Huan asked casually: "Oh, it seems that General Yang knows a lot of things, what secrets do you want to tell me?" Don't let me talk about it. Yang Kan looked around at no one, so he lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious: "Hou Jing is dead, do you know?" Gao Yue was stupid when he heard this, Gao Longzhi snorted coldly in his heart, and said in his heart: The news of this rotten street is still mysterious and pretentious, but I don't know that even the aunt who sells green onions on the side of the road knows that Hou Jing is dead.
Gao Huan didn't do it like the two of them, but stopped Yang Kan with a straight face and said, "I've heard a little about this, I don't know what General Yang thinks about this matter?" Yang Kan nodded and said in a low voice: "He and Princess Luyang's son are in my mansion." As soon as these words came out, the three people outside the table were stupid, and Gao Longzhi hurriedly asked, "Are you serious?" Gao Huan glared at him a little displeased, and then asked: "Sir is not talking nonsense, I heard that Song Zixian killed Hou Jing and Princess Luyang together at that time, and even the child was not spared." ”
Yang Kan stroked his beard very proudly and said: "This is all hearsay, Hou Yu was personally snatched back from the hands of the rebels by my youngest son Yang Kun." Even Gao Huan unconsciously leaned closer to Yang Kan, so as to listen carefully to his story of how Yang Kun rescued the princess, how he escaped with his mother and son, and how Princess Luyang died righteously. Yang Kan spoke very wonderfully, and the listeners were also very fascinated.
At the end of the day, Gao Huan and the other three all sighed, because Princess Luyang was not worth it, Gao Huan asked, "Where is that child now?" Yang Kan replied, "At this moment, he is in the minister's house." He didn't say that he found the best nurse in the city to feed him, because he didn't know what kind of mentality Gao Huan would have towards this child, but Gao Huan immediately said: "Bring the child to me, and I will raise this child in the future." Gao Yue said incredulously: "King, it's not good for you to do this, besides, this kid is Hou Jing's remnant after all." ”
Gao Huan said nonchalantly: "What does the sin of the parents have to do with the child, and besides, his parents were not killed by me, so I can't blame them." Gao Longzhi and Yang Kan immediately patted their ass: "The king is kind-hearted and worthy of a generation." "The two of them seem to have a knack for sycophants now.
This is to solve a serious problem of confidants, and then Gao Huan said: "I plan to announce you to the palace tomorrow morning, and in front of the civil and military officials and the emperor, I will personally reinstate you as an official, no, it is a three-level promotion!" What do you think? Yang Kan immediately got up and thanked him: "Thank you for the king's love, dare not obey the order?" Gao Huan laughed and helped him up and said: "In the future, I will work hard for you to help me govern the country, and you and I should not be so polite." As if remembering something, Gao Huan asked Yang Kan a little uncertainly: "What do you think of Xiao Daoquan, the emperor?" (To be continued.) )
