Huangfu Wujin got the news of Huangfu Heng's murder three days later, the news reached the Chu army camp, he immediately ordered the whole army to mourn for Huangfu Heng, and spread the text to the world: 'Yongzhou relatives, wolf ambitions, Qizhou brothers, great rebellion, the emperor died tragically, the prince was killed, the emperor's children, none of them survived, vicious and cruel, unheard of since ancient times, and now call on the world to discuss it, Wujin is willing to be the pioneer of the world, and swear to punish the rebels! ’

On the fifth day of Huang Fuheng's murder, the Empress Dowager, who was far away in Jiangning Mansion, issued three edicts to the world, one was to severely condemn the Qi King Huang Fu Heng's extermination of Huang Fuheng's children, calling him a brutal and unscrupulous murderer, and cutting off his Qi Wang number; The second decree was not to recognize the legitimacy of the Yongjing court, calling it a usurper of the Shen family; The third edict was to canonize the Liang Wang, Huangfu Wujin, as the regent of the Daning Dynasty, and temporarily take care of state affairs.

The will of the Empress Dowager was issued, and the world was in an uproar, and the people of the world condemned the cruelty of the Emperor Fu of Qi, killing his brother Huang Fu Heng's family, and plunging the Emperor Fu into a serious moral crisis,........ Dongjun, in the camp of the Chu army, the army led by Huangfu Wujin has been stationed here for nearly half a month, during this period, he reorganized the Qi army and surrendered troops, deployed the troops of Jianghuai to the north, accepted the allegiance of the local officials of Qizhou, accepted the treasury, and went out to settle the people, and he had stabilized the occupation of Qizhou.

At this time in Dongjun, he had 100,000 elite troops, plus 50,000 military horses loyal to him from Liangjun He Qianjue, a total of 150,000 military horses were deployed on the line from Dongjun to Liangjun.

However, the 15th Army and Horse still had a slight shortage of troops to deal with the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Yongqi Coalition Army, so Huangfu Wujin was not in a hurry, he was still stationed outside Puyang County, Dongjun, and was ready to wait for the autumn harvest before considering the battle, for him, the longer it dragged on, the more beneficial it benes, and for Huangfu Chen, the longer the time, the lower the morale of his army.

In the camp, Huangfu Wujin is feasting on the history and long history of the five counties of Dongjun, Liang County, Huaiyang County, Jiyin County and Qian County, as well as the county orders of Puyang County and Chenliu County, these more than a dozen Yuzhou officials are extremely important to Huangfu Wujin, now, he not only considers the military confrontation with Qi Yong, but also pays more attention to political advantages, he has won the support of most of the counties in Qizhou, and now he has been stationed in Dongjun for a long time, but also to get the support of local officials in Yuzhou.

This is also the first thing that Huangfu Wujin has to do after the demise of Huangfu Heng, contact the local government, which is extremely important, the disappearance of the Luojing Dynasty, so that many of the local officials who were originally loyal to Luojing have lost their allegiance, they may not be willing to be loyal to the Yongjing Dynasty controlled by the Shen family, and seize this critical blank period in time, which is the reason why Huangfu Wujin invited these local high-ranking officials to come to the banquet, for the counties that could not come, such as Xuchang County, Yingchuan County, Runan County, etc., he sent people to send his own letters.

The banquet was held in the big tent of the Chinese army in Huangfu Wujin, the wine and food were very simple, but the hospitality of Huangfu Wujin was very warm, behind each official there was a soldier who poured wine for them, not only that, but there were also several tall and strong soldiers in the open space in the middle of the big tent performing wrestling, and the shouts were endless.

Although Huangfu Wujin's hospitality was very warm, the officials were a little embarrassed, they were not used to this kind of hospitality, they were used to having beautiful maids behind them, not soldiers, and they were used to dancing girls performing songs and dances in the middle, not wrestling, and this wine made each of them drink so much that it was difficult to talk about many things.

Huangfu Wujin obviously understood everyone's difficulties, so he smiled slightly and said to the soldiers: "Everyone go down!" ”

The soldiers in the big tent retreated together, the officials were relieved, the invisible pressure was gone all of a sudden, Huangfu Wujin stood up, raised his glass and apologized to everyone: "First of all, thank you for going to the banquet, Wujin is not well entertained, please forgive me!" This glass of wine, I salute everyone. ”

He drank the wine as soon as he drank it, and everyone humbled it, Zheng Dafu, the assassin of Dongjun, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't have to be sorry, it's just that there are sergeants by your side, we can't speak freely, today your Excellency invited us to a banquet, which shows that your Excellency attaches great importance to the local government, and we are willing to cooperate with Your Highness to maintain public order in Yuzhou and ensure that the people and the government can get through this extraordinary period safely." ”

Zheng Dafu is not the oldest person among these officials, the oldest qualified is Li Yan, the assassin of Liang County, Li Yan has served as the secretary of the Taifu Temple, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and moved to the left because of the bad relationship with Uncle Shen Guo to move to the Liang County Thorn History, but Liang County is also the county with the largest population, the largest grain production and the largest tax among the counties in Yuzhou, so Li Yan is the leader of these officials.

The reason why Li Yan, the assassin of Liangjun, did not come forward first is because now in Dongjun, Zheng Dafu is a landlord, but Zheng Dafu is also the second most senior official after Li Yan, and he once served as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and his speech represents the will of all the officials present.

Officialdom pays attention to the subtext, pays attention to subtlety, the so-called subtext is actually a gesture, for example, today Huangfu Wujin invites guests, everyone understands what is going on, to come or not is a gesture, if they oppose Huangfu Wujin, then they will find an excuse not to come, if they come, then it means that they support Huangfu Wujin, of course, this does not need to be said explicitly, everyone knows it.

After showing the posture, when talking about some specific requirements and expectations, it is necessary to be subtle, Zheng Dafu said very subtlely, but the meaning is obvious, he conveyed several layers of meaning to Huangfu Wujin, one is not to want to deal with the army too much, to put it bluntly, I hope that the army will not disturb the people, strict military discipline, what he said, "I am willing to cooperate with His Royal Highness, maintain public order in Yuzhou", this is what he meant.

The second is to hope that the war will not expand, and he also made it very clear, 'to ensure that the people and the government can pass through this extraordinary period safely', what extraordinary period is the extraordinary things that are fighting for the world, and the people and the government hope to get through it safely, that is, not to expand the war.

After Zheng Dafu finished speaking, all the officials nodded their heads in agreement with him, and Li Yan, the assassin of Liangjun, also smiled: "Lord Zheng is very reasonable, and he also said the voice of all of us, in fact, we all know that His Royal Highness loves the people and can understand the difficulties of the local government, and we also know that it is impossible to completely avoid war, but we just hope that the war can be narrowed down, not expanded, and the war is not the most terrible, the transit of the defeated army is the most terrible, like locusts, swept away, if the Qi army is defeated, they will inevitably flee to Qizhou on a large scale, This is also the one thing we are most worried about, and I hope Your Highness can think more about it for us. ”

Huangfu Wujin silently listened to the opinions of the people, today he called everyone, on the one hand, he hoped that the magistrates of Yuzhou could also support him politically, in terms of military food and people, on the other hand, he also wanted to appease the officials of Yuzhou, so that they would not worry too much about the war, he beckoned, several soldiers moved a huge wooden frame in, on the wooden frame is a map of the Daning Dynasty, there are some marks on it, the map is placed at the door of the tent, so that everyone can see the position.

Huangfu Wujin walked to the map and said slowly to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I can understand everyone's concerns, I can also give you a necessary explanation, I will tell you some news, one is the number of combat troops in the future, I can clearly tell you that the Yongzhou army will soon withdraw to Guanzhong and will not participate in the union of the King of Qi, this is because the Xiliang army has attacked Guanzhong, I just got the latest news, Zhang Chongjun has taken Fengxiang County." ”

He pointed to Fengxiang County on the map, and then Yongjing, and continued: "Taking Fengxiang County means that the west gate of Yongjing is opened, and Yongjing will be directly threatened, in order to put pressure on Shao Jingwen again, I have ordered Youzhou Liu Hanzhang to send 30,000 troops five days ago to seize Fuyang Pass and threaten Shangdang County, I am seventy percent sure that the armies of Shenji and Shao Jingwen will withdraw to Guanzhong and Jinnan successively, so that we will face Huangfu's 100,000 troops." ”

"Your Highness, forgive me for interrupting!"

Li Yan, the assassin of Liangjun, got up and said with a smile: "I remember that Huangfu was an army of 300,000 to the west, and now there are only 100,000, I don't understand it a little, can you explain it to you." ”

Everyone talked about it, and they all felt a little strange, Huangfu Wujin smiled and said: "300,000 Western Expedition is really good, but when he attacked Xingyang and Luojing, he had already lost 70,000 troops, and there were 230,000, and 40,000 were sent to Huaiyang, Xuchang, Nanyang and other southwestern counties of Yuzhou to station, in fact, there are still 190,000, and then 20,000 will be divided to guard the Xingyang granary, and then Huangfu will sit in Luojing, at least 70,000 or 80,000 troops will be beside him, and finally those who can come to Dongjun to fight, at most 100,000 troops, of course, Huangfu can be recruited on the spot, But as far as I know, after the Empress Dowager issued an order to accuse him of rebellion, his recruitment situation was very bad, and at the same time, he did not have enough money and food to recruit troops, and his expenditure of hundreds of thousands of troops was already very difficult. ”

The purpose of Huangfu Wujin's explanation to everyone is to relieve the pressure on everyone, so before, many officials were worried about the eastward crusade of hundreds of thousands of Yongqi allied forces, whether Huangfu Wujin could resist it, and now Huangfu Wujin's analysis, especially the news that the Yongzhou army will inevitably withdraw westward, makes everyone breathe a long sigh of relief.

．．．．．．．． At the end of the banquet, all the officials were sent back to Puyang County to rest, the lights of the Chinese army's big tent were still on, Huangfu Wujin was still thinking about his strategy, his main force would definitely not advance eastward, Huangfu Wu couldn't delay, sooner or later he would come to him for a decisive battle, but not too soon, after the Yongzhou army withdrew, Huang Fu Wu still had a lot of things to do, Huangfu Wujin suspected that he might be the emperor, so during this time, what do you need to do?

Seeing that the autumn harvest has arrived, the competition for several major grain-producing areas in central Henan will also begin, Huangfu Wujin's eyes fell on Xuchang County, which is not only one of the important grain-producing areas in Yuzhou, but also its strategic position is extremely important.
