Chapter 999: Running to Jiangnan
When Wang Wu and Wang Liu heard this, they nodded hurriedly, and readily agreed to Wang San's suggestion, after all, they used to be the old department under Hua'an, and they still had feelings for Hua'an, and now they also had a feeling of being suspicious of the imperial court, so they naturally stood on Hua'an's side without hesitation.
Seeing that Wang Wu and Wang Liu readily agreed to this request, Wang San was naturally very happy, and patted the shoulders of the two, and said with a straight face: "Great, there are two brothers to help, and my brother believes that the imperial court will eventually move the capital to Luoyang City." ”
"Third brother, rest assured, more than half of the troops under our command will be people whose ancestral homes are in the Central Plains, as long as we persuade a little, they will definitely support the move of the capital to Luoyang City, and when the time comes, the whole army will ask for their lives together, and they are not afraid that the court will not agree." Wang Wu said loudly.
"Yes! Third brother, as long as all the soldiers ask to move the capital, the imperial court will have to move the capital. Wang Liu also said loudly.
Obviously, they believed that as long as the generals of the army cooperated with Hua'an's request to move the capital to Luoyang City, the imperial court would have to be forced to agree, after all, the influence of the army was very great for the imperial court, and if the army was all reversed, the imperial court would no longer exist.
Wang San nodded with satisfaction, looked at the two of them and said: "With the help of two brothers, the possibility of the imperial court moving the capital will be greatly increased, but if you can get the help of General Han, the governor of the navy, the certainty will be greater, my brother heard that Biantou is now General Han's lieutenant, I don't know if the two of you have a connection with Biantou, if you can persuade Biantou, let Biantou persuade General Han to support the relocation of the capital." ”
Obviously, Han Yong's naval army has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, which is the core of the entire Yangzhou army. Choose to move the capital to Luoyang City.
When Wang Wu and Wang Liu heard this, they glanced at each other, and they both showed knowing smiles.
"Third brother, the two of us are in constant contact with Biantou, basically we meet twice a year, and we often exchange letters. There is absolutely no problem for us to convince Biantou, but it is difficult to say whether Biantou can succeed in convincing General Han, we heard that the relationship between Xie Tingshi and General Han is not ordinary! Wang Wuzheng said.
"Yes, third brother, Xie Tingshi has a very close relationship with General Han, and many of Xie Tingshi's younger brothers and nephews are subordinate generals under General Han, so it can be said that the entire naval army is almost under the control of Xie Tingshi. If General Han makes any changes, Xie Tingshi will soon be able to know, and because the Xie family has many children and their own troops, General Han cannot completely control all the 100,000 naval army, so this matter is still very difficult to do! Wang Liu said helplessly.
Obviously, Wang Wu and Wang Liu felt that it would be very easy to persuade Wang Biantou to support the move. But it was extremely difficult for Wang Biantou to persuade Han Yong to support the relocation of the capital. After all, Han Yong had a good relationship with Xie An, and many of Xie An's younger brothers and nephews were placed under Han Yong's command, even if Han Yong was willing to support the relocation of the capital, he might not be able to convince the generals under his command. Especially the many children of the Xie family.
Hearing this, Wang San nodded lightly, and said, "You don't have to worry about this at all, about the relationship between General Han and Xie Tingshi, and the status of Xie's children in the navy." Wang Shang had already understood it very clearly, and he had already thought of a strategy to deal with it. After speaking, he looked at the two of them.
When Wang Wu and Wang Liu heard this, they were slightly surprised, and glanced at each other.
"Third brother, what is the king's countermeasure, can you tell us?" Wang Wu asked.
Wang San thought for a moment, and said: "The king has discussed with me, if General Han can support the relocation of the capital, it is naturally the best, if he does not support the relocation of the capital, we can hand over the king's handwritten letter to General Han, and the content of the letter is not known to my brother, but the king said that as long as General Han reads the letter, I believe that he will definitely support the relocation of the capital." After speaking, he looked at the two of them.
When Wang Wu and Wang Liu heard this, they nodded approvingly.
"Third brother, why don't you just rest in Pengcheng, and the younger brother will go to the Jiangnan Navy camp to persuade Biantou to support the relocation of the capital, and then discuss with Biantou how to persuade Han Yong." Wang Liu looked at Wang San and said.
"Yes! Third brother, why don't you let the sixth brother go! Let's have a good chat in Pengcheng. Wang Wu also chimed in.
When Wang San heard this, he smiled, and said: "No need, my brother has been ordered by the king, and I still have to go in person, you just need to write a letter, and my brother will personally hand it over to Biantou, and personally persuade him, I believe that Biantou will give the three of us face." After speaking, he smiled confidently.
Seeing that Wang San insisted on going in person, Wang Wu and Wang Liu naturally would not stop him, and immediately prepared pen and ink and wrote a letter to Wang Biantou, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, to persuade Wang Biantou to support the relocation of the capital.
After the letter was fully written, Wang 5 and Wang 6 handed the autograph letter to Wang San, and Wang San carried their autographed letter in his bosom and continued to drink wine and eat meat.
The sky gradually darkened, the three people in the main hall were full of wine and food, and Wang San was also tired from the fatigue of the journey. After getting up and saying goodbye, with the support of his subordinates, he went to the good guest room.
And after Wang San left, Wang Wu and Wang Liu did not rest, they looked at the back of Wang San leaving, and glanced at each other.
"Fifth brother, third brother came this time, is it just to get us to support the relocation of the capital?" Wang Liu looked at Wang Wu and asked suspiciously.
Wang Wu nodded, and said with a straight face: "Didn't the third brother say everything?" It is to let us support the relocation of the capital, and also let us convince the flat head to also support the relocation of the capital, you have drunk too much and are confused. After speaking, he smiled and pointed at Wang Liu.
Wang Liu nodded slightly, and said softly: "Fifth brother, this moving the capital is not a trivial matter!" Why did the king force the court to move the capital? Have you thought about this question carefully? ”
"Of course, I thought about it, the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty was originally supposed to be in Luoyang City, but it was only moved to Jiankang City to avoid the war, and now, Luoyang City has been recovered, and the imperial court should naturally return to the old capital, besides, Jiankang City is too remote to be the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is necessary to move it." Wang Wu said loudly.
When Wang Liu heard this, he shook his head lightly, and said, "How can the fifth brother not know what the fifth brother said, but." When to move the capital to the imperial court, why would the king be so concerned? Moreover, he deliberately asked the third brother to come to Pengcheng to convince us, don't you think, is there anything wrong here? ”
Obviously, Wang Liu felt. Hua'an's urgent request for the court to move the capital is very abnormal, which is beyond the duty of a courtier, and it seems very abrupt.
Wang Wu nodded, and said with a straight face: "What you said is reasonable, then what do you mean, what is the purpose of the king's urgent request for the court to be moved?" After speaking, he looked at Wang Liu.
Wang Liu paused, and said: "Fifth brother, although the king has been our playmate since childhood, now he is a member of the Great Jin royal family. If the king wants to control the court, what is the most appropriate thing to do? ”
When Wang Wu heard this, he was slightly stunned, and said: "If the king wants to control the imperial court, the best way is naturally to put the imperial court under his own control, and only by moving the capital can the imperial court be under the control of the king, so that the king urgently asks the imperial court to move the capital to Luoyang City." It is to finally control the imperial court. ”
Wang Liu nodded and said, "That's right, Fifth Brother." The brother also thinks so, and the brother thinks that after the king takes control of the imperial court, it is very likely that he will replace him, I don't know if the fifth brother has this kind of premonition. After speaking, he looked at Wang Wu.
Wang Wu nodded, and said with a straight face: "That's right." The king is a descendant of the king of Chu, even if he replaces the current emperor, he will not face much opposition, and we have an old relationship with the king, and we were also the old ministry of the king, if the king can be called the emperor. It's also good for us, and I believe that our knighthood will definitely be improved. ”
"In this way, the fifth brother will fully support the king, so that the brother can rest assured." Wang Liu said happily.
Obviously, the reason why Wang Liu wanted to raise this issue was to be mentally prepared with Wang Wu as soon as possible, so as not to suddenly become emperor in Hua'an, and they would not be able to adapt for a while, which would cause bad consequences.
Wang Wu patted Wang Liu's shoulder and said, "Sixth brother, from now on, we will be grasshoppers on a rope." ”
Wang Liu smiled and nodded, "Yes! Fifth brother, we fully support the king, and the king will be both prosperous and lossy, in the future, our fate will be completely linked with the fate of the king, let us work together to make the imperial court move the capital to Luoyang City as soon as possible. ”
Wang Wu thought for a moment and said softly: "It's not enough to support the imperial court to move the capital, we should also send a private message to the king in person to show our determination to be loyal." ”
When Wang Liu heard this, he nodded and said: "Fifth brother is right, now the king's strength is already here, and the intention to replace the imperial court has been very clear, at this time, we must immediately express our support, so that we can occupy a more advantageous position in the future." ”
Subsequently, Wang Wu and Wang Liu immediately wrote a handwritten letter, in which they exaggerated their childhood feelings with Hua'an, and made it clear that they would fully support Hua'an's various policies.
After writing the letter, Wang Wu and Wang Liu immediately sent their henchmen to send the letter to the direction of Luoyang City overnight, and after that, they rested with peace of mind.
Early the next morning, Wang San was going to leave and go to Jiangnan, and Wang Liu was also going to return to Xiapi, on the outskirts of Pengcheng, Wang Wu sent the two away at the same time, and then returned to Pengcheng.
After Wang San left Pengcheng, he led his 100 personal soldiers to run towards the direction of the naval army camp in the south of the Yangtze River at the fastest speed, because Wang Wu sent several henchmen who were familiar with the situation along the way to follow Wang San, for this reason, the journey along the way was very smooth, and did not encounter any obstacles, and arrived at the north bank of the river after a few days.
The naval army camp of the Yangzhou legion is located on the south bank of the river, that is to say, Wang San and his party can reach the naval camp as long as they cross the river, however, Wang San came this time just to persuade Wang Biantou, for this purpose his whereabouts must be kept as secret as possible, and if he leads a hundred personal soldiers to cross the river and appears near the naval camp, it is easy to arouse suspicion, after all, those who can have a hundred guards must not be ordinary people, that is to say, Wang San cannot take a hundred personal soldiers across the river with great fanfare, And appeared in the vicinity of the naval battalion.
After some thought, Wang San decided to leave most of his personal soldiers on the north bank, and only led ten personal soldiers to cross the river, and after crossing the river, he only led two followers to the naval camp, and the remaining eight personal soldiers stayed on the periphery of the naval camp.
Wang San led ten of his own soldiers and took a medium ferry boat to the south bank of the river, and after landing on the shore, he immediately ran in the direction of the naval camp.
When there were still two miles away from the naval camp, Wang San asked eight personal soldiers to stay in place, and he led two personal soldiers to continue in the direction of the naval camp.
Soon, Wang San and his two personal soldiers arrived near the naval camp of the Yangzhou Legion, and marched in the direction of the gate of the naval camp.
"Stop, this is the naval camp, and no idle people are allowed to enter." As soon as Wang San reached the gate of the naval camp, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the door.
Wang San was scolded by the two soldiers, and he was naturally very uncomfortable, but after all, this was not Luoyang City, and the two soldiers guarding the door didn't know him, so it was inevitable to be reprimanded.
"Two, I am the deceased of General Wang, the deputy general of your battalion, please report it." Wang San said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"General Wang's old man, well, you wait." Seeing that Wang San's momentum was very unusual, a soldier guarding the door did not dare to be presumptuous, and hurriedly turned around and went to report.
At this time, Wang Biantou, the deputy general of the navy, was in the military tent, discussing some things with several good subordinates, and issuing some orders from time to time.
"General Wang, a stranger came from outside the camp, saying that he was the general's old friend and asked to see the general." The little soldier reported to Wang Biantou.
"The deceased? What it looks like. Wang Biantou hurriedly asked.
"He is tall and extremely majestic, and he has two retinues with him, both of whom are also big men." The little soldier said truthfully.
Hearing this, Wang Biantou nodded, looked at several subordinates, and said, "A few generals will then discuss, and the generals will come when they go." So saying, he ran out of the tent and went out of the camp.
Soon, Wang Biantou walked to the gate of the camp and saw Wang San waiting outside the gate.
"Third brother, is that you?" Wang Bian frowned and asked in surprise.
Obviously, after not seeing each other for many years, he and Wang San are already a little strange, and they are a little afraid to recognize each other.
"Flat head, I haven't seen you for many years, I miss my brother to death." Wang San said happily.
"Oh, it's really the third brother! I haven't seen him for so many years, the third brother has changed a lot, this is not the place to talk, let's go to find a restaurant on the street five miles away, have a good drink, come to someone, lead the horse. Wang Biantou said loudly.
When several soldiers heard the order, they immediately brought the war horses and handed them into the hands of Wang Biantou. (To be continued......)
