"Are you saying that this edict was not His Majesty's original intention, and it is likely that someone secretly connived it in?" Fang Shao's voice was a little hoarse, and his physical state was tired from the worries that came to him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty has been in battle for a long time, what kind of formation has not been experienced, I can't believe that Your Majesty would make such a decision, but if it wasn't for Your Majesty's intention, this edict was obviously sent from Jinyang, and it was indeed stamped with Your Majesty's seal, how should this be explained?" Wang Jun's expression was as calm as water, but there was a certain anxiety in his tone.

Fang Shao stood up and paced in the tent, his brain was like a meat grinder at the moment, all kinds of intelligence and clues were minced and ravaged in it, and finally new ideas were regenerated.

That edict clearly wanted to keep Pang Tong, Huang Quan, Wei Yan, and Jingzhou scholars like himself who controlled the army on the front line.

Fa Zheng is dead, Ma Chao has become the leader of the Guan Longshi people, and if he leads the army back to Jinyang, this means that the emperor's side from literature to martial arts is basically controlled by the Guan Longshi people.

If they recapture Hedong and return to Chang'an, then Ma Chao's 50,000 soldiers and horses will become an absolute military force in the empty Beijing division, that is to say, the emperor, the Jingshi, the kings, as well as the hundred officials in Beijing, and the families of the front-line generals will all be controlled by the Guanlong group, in that case...... The speculation behind made Fang Shao shudder, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Fang Shao knew very well that if they really did this, it was definitely not to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne, and the ultimate goal was nothing more than to pave the way for Liu Shan to ascend the throne, and if Liu Shan, the king of Qin, became the crown prince and further became the emperor of the Great Han Kingdom, then it would also be the beginning of the fall of the Jingzhou group.

It's just, Wu Yi and Huang Quan, do they have the guts?

In my memory, in the past history, when Liu Bei established Liu Chan as the crown prince, Wu Yi, Huang Quan and others did not take any means to oppose it.

At that time, it was not that they didn't have the guts, but that they didn't have the opportunity.

Now it's different, all kinds of chances have created such a wonderful and only opportunity for them, will they let it go?

No, they should know very well that once Fa Zheng dies, the Guanlong clique will no longer have the opportunity to use peaceful means to compete for power in the DPRK and China, and only by using this extraordinary means can there be a glimmer of hope.

If it were me, most of them would have taken a risk, so Wu Yi and Huang Quan would have the same choice.

Bang!

Fang Shao struck a blow at the case, his eyes were full of annoyance, and he blamed himself for not thinking about it thoroughly, just thinking about how to deal with the Wei State, but ignoring the hidden dangers within the Han State.

Now, the Jingzhou Group has reached the moment of life and death, and at this time, whether it is out of the overall situation or self-interest, he must stand up to protect the interests of the Jingzhou Group.

"If Huang and Wu have this intention, they will bring about their own destruction!" Fang Shao gritted his teeth and scolded.

Wang Jun restrained the fluctuations in his heart and calmly analyzed: "Regardless of whether those two people have different intentions, but in such a sensitive period, it is better to believe that there is something than to believe that it is not, Da Sima, we must decisively take corresponding countermeasures." ”

"If you have any good ideas, you might as well tell me about them." Fang Shao turned his gaze to this wise young man.

Wang Jun pondered for a moment and said: "For today's plan, only Da Sima will lead the army back to Jinyang, and rescue His Majesty from Huang and Wu before the arrival of the hussar general, only in this way can we grasp the initiative, if the hussar general is allowed to return to Jinyang first and issue an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven, then we will fall into passivity no matter what we do." ”

Fang Shao nodded, agreeing with Wang Jun's strategy.

Wang Jun sighed again: "It's a pity, Yecheng can go down, if you return to the north, it can be said that it will fall short, it's a pity." ”

Wang Jun regretted it, but Fang Shao was reminded by him, and suddenly many things were cleared.

At the beginning, Chen Qunmi set a period of ten days to limit the city, Fang Shao had already guessed at that time, maybe Chen Qun still had a glimmer of hope for Cao Yingshang, so he set a period of ten days, in fact, he still wanted to wait and see for a while. And at this moment, when he heard the news of Cao Ying's successful attack on Hedong, with Chen Qun's scheming, he would inevitably regret it after weighing the pros and cons, and if he still believed his words, he would most likely fall for his tricks.

After thinking about this, Fang Shao smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter, if things are bad today, come back next year to attack them." ”

After Wang Jun sighed, his face suddenly became a little solemn: "Da Sima, all our previous plans are based on assumptions, if that edict is really given by His Majesty, but Da Sima does not obey the edict and returns the army to Jinyang, how will he explain it to His Majesty?" I'm just afraid that Da Sima had good intentions, but when the time comes, it will attract the king's suspicion. ”

Wang Jun only talked about the key point now, the point that was most closely related to Fang Shao.

The important ministers of the country do not obey the emperor's orders, and lead the army to "kill" to the place where the king is located, which is the most taboo thing for a king, even if you have thousands of high-sounding reasons, even if the king will praise your "taking into account the overall situation" on the surface, but you have actually planted the seeds of suspicion in the king's heart.

If the tiger has already paid attention to you, let alone your position of power, even your family name and life are in danger.

'Your sister, this is a tricky thing!' ’

Of course, Fang Shao had thought of Wang Jun's concerns, but it was impossible to play politics without taking risks, and after weighing it again and again, he had no choice.

"Alas, I can't help myself, for the sake of the overall situation, I can only take a risk." Fang Shao looked a little helpless.

Three days later, Jinyang.

It was dark, but the palace in Jinyang was brightly lit.

On the royal couch in the dormitory, Liu Bei leaned on the pillow, his expression was sometimes awake and sometimes sluggish, and his hands spread out on his chest kept trembling, which was the sequelae left by the previous coma.

At this moment, Liu Bei seems to be a seriously ill and dying old man, and the heroic spirit on his body has long since dissipated.

Even if he was so sick, Liu Bei had to support his body and deal with the recitals sent from all over the country, while Wu Yi read the recitals for him one by one beside him, and gave instructions on his behalf according to Liu Bei's dictation.

As Liu Bei's eldest brother, it is natural for Wu Yi to be trusted by Liu Bei at such a special moment.

Liu Bei, who was quietly listening to the recital, shook his eyes, and his expression became sluggish again, Wu Yi knew that the time had come again, so he put down the recital in his hand and replaced it with another cantata.

It was a commissioned edict concerning a series of military transfers of the armies on the front, as well as the transfer of a part of the county guards between the state and Yongzhou, and of course, all of them were extremely beneficial to the Qin Yi group.

Liu Bei listened blankly, in fact, in the current state, he couldn't hear what Wu Yi was saying at all, and Wu Yi deliberately lowered his voice when he read some keywords to vague his meaning.

After reading it, Wu Yi cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, this edict is related to the country, and it should be issued as soon as possible." ”

Liu Bei, who was in a daze, could only respond with "uh-huh", and the corners of Wu Yi's mouth flashed with a touch of pride, so he held the edict in front of Liu Bei, held Liu Bei's trembling hand, and gently pressed it on the edict with a jade seal.

Another "conspiracy" succeeded, Wu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of Liu Bei's sluggishness to prepare a few more edicts that had been prepared in favor of him.

At this moment, the chamberlain entered, and said that the minister Huang Quan was outside the palace and had urgent matters to discuss with Wu Yi.

Liu Bei is in his own hands, and those prepared edicts can be issued sooner or later, so Wu Yi was not in a hurry, so he ordered the servants to serve Liu Bei to rest first, and Wu Yi took those pieces with and without the jade seal, lest Liu Bei see any flaws when he was sober.

Out of the dormitory, Huang Quan hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously: "Ziyuan, something happened, the remnants of the Wei State in the city suddenly rebelled!" ”

Wu Yi was stunned at first, and then said disdainfully: "Some people are just reluctant, why do you need to make a fuss about Gongheng, just send troops to kill all the troublemakers." ”

Huang Quan said worriedly: "Now that the sky is dark, the city is full of shouting and chaos, I don't know how many chaotic parties there are, and now there are only four thousand soldiers and horses in Jinyang City, I'm afraid that it will not be enough, why don't you quickly adjust the soldiers of the nearby counties to come and quell the chaos." ”

"Absolutely not!" Wu Yi categorically denied it, and said: "At such a critical moment, we must ensure that all the troops in Jinyang City are ours, if the soldiers from other counties are transferred, if we have bad intentions, we will not cause trouble." I expect that the chaos of the party is just a bluff, and there is no need to be afraid at all, so we must not mess up. ”

Hearing Wu Yi's words, Huang Quan had no choice but to sigh: "Okay, then I'll quickly arrange to quell the chaos, Ziyuan, you will guard the palace, don't let the chaotic party take advantage of it." ”

………… Anxiang, this place is about 100 miles away from Yuci County and about 200 miles away from Jinyang.

The 20,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Ma Tan hurried here a few days ago, originally on the orders of Fang Shao, through Jinyang to reinforce Hedong County, but soon after the soldiers and horses arrived in Anxiang, an edict came from Jinyang, so that Ma Tan could not go any further, and the whole army turned back on the spot and joined Zuo Sima to defend Northern Jizhou.

Ma Tan is also a smart man, he is sensitive to the fact that there may be a problem with the fate of this edict, so he did not return to Ma Chao's edict, but camped on the spot and stayed in Anxiang in the name of temporary recuperation.

Sure enough, at the same time that Ma Jian sent someone to Jinyang to inquire about the news, Fang Shao's secret order also arrived quickly.

In the name of Zuo Da Sima, Fang Shao explained to Ma Jian the danger that the Son of Heaven might be overthrown by the powerful ministers, so that he did not have to worry about the edict and continued to march into and control Jinyang City.

Fang Shao's speculation coincided with Ma Tan, but this edict really made Ma Jian feel embarrassed.

Theoretically, the emperor's edict has a seal, and he should obey the emperor's order, but now that Da Sima's order is coming, he should not pay attention to the edict.

If it is as Fang Shao expected, then he went to Jinyang this time, not only to make a great contribution to the Jingxiang Group, but also to save the driver. If you guess wrong, your own actions like this will not be a conspiracy, and you will not be able to bear all the charges at that time!

This is a veritable dilemma.

People sometimes just can't help themselves, and in the end, Ma Tan chose to follow the interests of the group, and he decided to act according to Fang Shao's secret orders.

However, the clever Ma Jian is not stunned, and he has come up with a clever plan to get himself out of the relationship.
