Chapter 182: The Great Change in Youzhou (I)
The reason why Wang Jun was able to retain his power in the Youzhou area was inseparable from the strong military forces of Xianbei, Wuhuan and other departments that he relied on. But in fact, Wang Jun was not popular in Youzhou, and he favored Zao Song, Zhu Shuo and other greedy people, so that the scholars of Youzhou quickly centrifugal, and successively betrayed Wang Jun to join other forces.
After receiving the information sent by the Intelligence Bureau, Sima Shu, who was far away in Luoyang, was a little hesitant in his heart, and he didn't know whether he should take the opportunity to send troops to Youzhou. On the one hand, he coveted the land of the seven counties and 34 counties of Youzhou, and on the other hand, he was worried that the rash start of war would delay the economic development that had not been easy to improve.
It can be said that if you don't take Youzhou now, there will be opportunities in the future, but once there is a problem in economic construction, the loss will be great. On this day, when Zhang Hua's condition worsened, Sima Shu went to Zhang's mansion to visit the patient, and just asked the old and serious British public what he thought. In this kind of national development strategy, he still believes in Zhang Hua, who is experienced and strategic.
Zhang Hua ignored his illness and said with some difficulty: "Wang Jun's name is Jin Chen, but in fact he wants to establish himself as a king, he wants to divide Youzhou and claim hegemony, but he is worried that the court's criticism will attract the imperial army. In the first battle of the Tiger Prison back then, His Majesty's prestige shook the world, how could he not let the other party be jealous? ”
"However, Wang Jun said that although the king has dealt a blow to the prestige of the imperial court on the surface, in fact we have earned it. Wang Jun has long been listed as a rebel by the imperial court, and no matter what kind of rebellion he makes, he will not surprise the imperial court. But for other forces in Liaodong, it is different, whether it is Duan's Xianbei or Yuwen Xianbei, each is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the two sides will inevitably be suspicious after a long time. ”
"Your Majesty, and press down on the heart that is ready to move. It is better to develop the economy first, enhance the national strength, wait for the changes, and then attack them. Otherwise, if you have a plan against others, but let others perceive your thoughts, it will be difficult to achieve your goal. ”
Sima Shu nodded when he heard this: "What Taifu said is exact!" ”
So Sima Shu sent people to weaken the garrison on the border of Youji, and at the same time secretly instructed Murong Diao to send people to bring a lot of treasures and send a letter to Wang Jun. Strongly touted Wang Jun.
Murong Diao acted according to the strategy. In a letter to Wang Jun, he said: "Xiaohu is from the Rong descent, and he is in the Jin Dynasty, and there is hunger in the sea. Exile. Escape to Liaodong. Together, they are handsome to save lives. Today's chaos is unrelated. His Royal Highness Fu Weiming. The state and township are noble, the sect of the four seas, the emperor, who is not the public? ”
Sima Shu also sent a large amount of bribes to Wang Jun's favorite retainer Zao Song through the Intelligence Bureau.
At this time, Wang Jun had just had a dislike with Xianbei Duanbu, and was secretly annoyed, and suddenly got Murong Diao's letter, how could he not be happy. At first, he was still a little skeptical, after all, who in Liaodong didn't know that the Murong tribe sent tribute to the Luoyang court, so he asked the envoy sent by Murong Diao to ask: "Your family is a big single in the world, guarding the Great Thorn City in Liaodong, and a certain can become a full force, why do you come to me to claim the vassal, it doesn't seem to be very credible?" ”
The messenger was a man of great speech, and he replied without hesitation: "My family is a man of great talent, and it is true that he said it clearly. However, the prestige of the Ming Duke in Youzhou and Liaodong has spread in all directions, and the Hu and Han people have admired it for a long time, how can it be compared to the strength of our small Xianbei tribe? ”
"Besides, the Murong tribe is at odds with the Duan clan and the Yuwen tribe, and they are not on good terms with Goguryeo, how can they be enemies of the Ming Duke again? General Murong is to Ming Gong what the moon is to the sun, and rivers are to the sea. Back then, Xiang Yu and Gongsun Shu also dominated the world, but they were finally defeated by death, which were all lessons from General Murong. Since ancient times, the Hu people only have to be famous ministers, and not emperors, and my family is a big single to respect the Ming Gong, which is in line with the will of heaven! ”
When Wang Jun heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded the Murong envoy greatly.
Murong Envoy's sycophantic words quoted from the scriptures were convincing, which not only completed the purpose of paralyzing Wang Jun and separating him from the Duan clan, but also laid a solid foundation for Murong Xianbei's next actions. And this Wang Jun only listened to a few words of praise, and he didn't know what his surname was, ambitious people must have a clear mind, otherwise they will not be far from the extinction of the dead clan.
As soon as the envoy from Wang Jun returned, Murong Diao immediately called him to inquire about Youzhou. When he learned that Youzhou City was facing internal and external troubles at this time, and the people were panicking, but Wang Jun was preparing to be the emperor without warning, Murong Diao pressed the table and said with a smile: "Wang Pengzu (Wang Jun's character) is really caught!" ”
Wang Jun's internal and external troubles were completely caused by himself, after the defeat from the Central Plains, Wang Jun did not hesitate to rob 3,000 Han girls to send to Duan Xianbei in order to appease Duan's Xianbei. This resolved Duan's Xianbei's resentment towards Wang Jun, but it didn't take long for Wang Jun to listen to the villain's provocation and forcibly recruit Duan's cavalry, which greatly aroused Duan Wu's dissatisfaction.
After the news of Murong Xianbei's defection to the Great Jin Dynasty came, Duan Xianbei greatly reduced his support for Wang Jun in order to guard against the Murong tribe, which caused Wang Jun's dissatisfaction with the Duan family. In short, the relationship between the two sides has long ceased to be the intimate relationship that it used to be, but is mutual suspicion and defensiveness.
However, the two still maintained a friendly relationship on the surface, and there was no unanimous opinion within the Duan clan about Wang Jun's idea of wanting to be king. Some people believe that Wang Jun should be supported, so as to use this shareholder wind to seek more benefits for the Duan family; While others felt that Wang Jun was already at the end of the crossbow, the Duan clan should abandon it and set up another mountain.
These two opinions were disputed, and finally reported to Duan Wu Muchen, and the leader of the Duan clan pondered for a moment and said: "Do you think we should abandon the prince and stand on our own, then I would like to ask everyone, do we have the ability to control Youzhou?" Having lost this ally of Wang Jun of Youzhou, coupled with the fact that the Great Jin Dynasty regarded us as mortal enemies, their emperor Sima Shu swore to the sky that he would exterminate our Duan clan, and in the future Great Jin Northern Expedition, would we have to fight alone? ”
Duan Wumuchen's words made Duan's internal thinking unify all of a sudden, and everyone no longer mentioned self-reliance, but actively tried to repair the relationship with Wang Jun. Because the Duan Xianbei knew that with the sins they had done in the Central Plains, sooner or later they would be liquidated by Sima Shu, and Wang Jun was the only force they could ally with.
Later, Duan Wu Muchen personally took people to Youzhou to see Wang Jun and bowed his head to him again. Duan's Xianbei's submission. once again aroused Wang Jun's inner ambition. Coupled with the provocation of the villains on the left and right, in October of the first year of Hongwu, Wang Jun could no longer hold back and founded the country in Jizhou, called Dayan, and called himself the king of Yan.
With the support of the Duan clan and Murong and the two ministries of Youzhou, despite the opposition of some upright ministers under him, Wang Jun brazenly established himself as the king, established the name of Dayan, and sealed the officials under his own hands, and established officials such as Taiwan Province. Take the dragon and phoenix. Worship the northern and southern suburbs. Set up his wife as the queen, and set up his son as the East Palace.
When the news came out, the world was shaken, and Wang Jun's great rebellion had aroused the excitement of the people in the Great Jin Dynasty. Even Jiangdong Sima Rui was dissatisfied with it. He Sima Rui regarded himself as the heir of the Jin family's tradition. What kind of thing is he, Wang Jun? It's just a concubine. even dared to trespass on the title of king.
And when Sima Shu learned the news, in addition to being dumbfounded, he only muttered to himself: "The butterfly effect has appeared." The butterfly effect has ......"
Wang Jun himself is not a man of great talent, in history he did not hesitate to cause chaos for personal gain, and he was really an unforgivable person. And in this parallel space, the appearance of Sima Shu suddenly forced Wang Jun to death. In the face of an increasingly powerful imperial court, it is not impossible for Wang Jun to make such a ridiculous move in a panic.
Although the whole court was enthusiastic and demanded a crusade against Youzhou, Sima Shu kept Zhang Hua's teachings in mind and forcibly suppressed everyone's opinions. He just sent someone to inform Murong Diao and asked them to think of making some trouble for Wang Jun.
When Murong Diao received the support of the Great Jin, he always wanted to send troops to destroy Wang Jun and expand his power. Murong Diao is not an ordinary person, of course he knows that this is what the Great Jin Dynasty wants him to kill with Wang Jun, but this may not be an opportunity to expand his power, if he plans properly, the Murong tribe can completely take most of Youzhou and Pingzhou.
But Murong Diao was still afraid that Duan's Xianbei, Yuwen Xianbei and Goguryeo would attack behind him at this time, and he was hesitating, and his Changshi Qi Nalou said: "These three parties will never dare to act rashly, Yuwen tribe and Wuhuan were not on good terms with Wang Jun earlier, at this time, if they don't take advantage of the fire to rob, forget it, and they will never help each other." Although Duan Xianbei and Wang Jun were allies, they were suspicious of each other. In addition, the two are very ambitious, and now they only need to repair a letter to send to Yuwen and Duan, ask them for peace, and make an appointment to destroy Wang Jun together. For Yuwen, who has always coveted Youzhou, he will definitely not give up this opportunity. ”
"Once the Yuwen tribe and I temporarily form an alliance to destroy Wang Jun, the Duan clan will definitely not insist on going its own way. Although the Duan clan is not very happy to see Wang Jun's demise, under the deterrence of our two departments, they will not send troops to rescue them, and maybe they will take advantage of the fire to rob them. The use of soldiers is expensive, do not hesitate! ”
Murong Diao laughed after hearing this, and said, "My unfinished thoughts, Changshi has been solved like this, what else can I hesitate about?" ”
So Murong Diao wrote a letter to Yuwen and the Duan clan to ask for peace, asking for a crusade against Wang Jun to atone for his sins. The Yuwen tribe originally hated Wang Jun's personality, and in addition, they coveted the land and population of the counties and counties in Youzhou, so they really gave up the dispute with Murong for the time being, and prepared to send troops to Youzhou together.
Although Duan Wumuchen did not explicitly say that he wanted to join the ranks of the crusade against Wang Jun, his immovable actions betrayed his true thoughts in his heart.
At this time, Wang Jun, who had already fainted from his mind, learned that Murong Diao had led the army to Youzhou, and he actually ordered his subordinates not to block the arrival of the other party, and he actually issued a solemn statement: "Murong is here to support me, and whoever dares to say that he will be beheaded!" ”
I also let the left and right prepare a banquet for hospitality. In this way, Murong Diao simply drove to the city of Jizhou in the welcome of Wang Junjun. In order to prevent Wang Jun's ambush, he brought thousands of cattle and sheep in advance, and as soon as the gate of Jizhou was opened, he first let the cattle and sheep enter the city, declaring that it was a gift to Wang Jun, in fact, these cattle and sheep blocked the streets and alleys in the city tightly, making Wang Jun's ambush useless even if he had.
Wang Jun began to fidget and get scared. After Murong Diao's army entered Jizhou City, they looted everywhere, Wang Jun's left and right asked for resistance, Wang Jun still had illusions, and was not allowed to resist, until Murong Diao came to Wang Jun's hall with his subordinates in person, Wang Jun woke up like a dream, and only then did he think of fleeing for his life, how could he escape?
After Wang Jun was caught, he scolded Murong Diao for rebellion, and Murong Diao unhurriedly accused Wang Jun of preparing to claim to be the Son of Heaven's rebellious behavior, and listed his various crimes in Youzhou, so that Wang Jun had nothing to say, and was finally sent to the Luoyang court by Murong Diao, and was later ordered to exterminate the clan by Sima Shu.
