0384 Double Dragon Wars
This rumor naturally reached Murong Ke's ears, and he brought Yang Hu to discuss.
"What does the CP think of this rumor?"
Yang Hu said affirmatively: "It must be deliberately spread by the Tang people." ”
Murong Ke bowed his head and said, "Why are they spreading such rumors in the Yan Kingdom, but not the Jin Kingdom?" ”
Yang Yu pondered: "Tang Guo doesn't want to make a direct enmity with the Jin State now, even if this news reaches the Jin Kingdom, they can deduce that they don't know, and they can even pour dirty water on us." ”
Murong Ke said with a smile: "It would be too stupid to try to sow distancing the relationship between our country and the Jin State through this means. ”
Yang Yu also smiled: "Yes, our army is still besieging Luoyang, how can we still provoke them." ”
Murong Ke said, "What do you think we should do?" To prohibit or not to prohibit? ”
Yang Yu said: "Why ban it, the more widely this news spreads, the better it will be for us." If the Tang State can really turn the Jin State into a puppet dynasty, it will really save us a lot of trouble. ”
A big reason why the Jin Kingdom has been able to support it until now is that they have the orthodox righteousness of the world, and this identity allows them to unite more capable people.
If they can break this identity, they won't have to be beaten by others, and they will collapse internally.
Moreover, it is also a good thing for them to set the Tang and Jin kingdoms against each other and affect the trade between the two sides. Therefore, Murong Ke also agreed with this approach, and was even ready to add fuel to the fire.
After discussing this matter, Yang Hu asked again: "Luoyang has been besieged for four years, when is Dazai going to take it?" ”
Murong Ke smiled: "The fruit is ripe, and it's time to pick it." ”
……
The rumors of the battle between the Yellow Dragon and the White Dragon reached the Qin State first, and Fu Jian and Wang Meng also had the same guess, this is what the Tang people did.
And their way of dealing with this matter is the same as that of Murong Ke, fueling the troubles.
This news spread from the Qin State to the Liang State again.
In recent years, Liangguo has changed several monarchs in a row, and also changed several powerful ministers, and the year before last, Zhang Tianxi killed his nephew Zhang Xuanliang and established himself as king.
He sent someone to Jiankang to ask for the canonization of the Jin State, but two years later, the Jin State still did not reply, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart.
So he didn't care about the rumors of Huanglong and Bailong, and even secretly shouted cool in his heart.
Although Sun Tai said that he couldn't do it, how could it actually be. He is not easy to move in the Jin Kingdom, but there are not so many worries here in the Liang Kingdom.
Although Taoism is not the state religion in Liangguo, it is also the largest religion with the largest number of adherents, and they spread faster.
It first spread among Taoist believers, and soon spread throughout the country, and even spread to the Western Regions along the Liang Kingdom.
At this time, most of the low-level people in Liangguo knew that there was a country called Tang in this world.
This is not surprising, Liang Guo is deep inland, and there are not many opportunities to deal directly with Tang Guo.
Coupled with the slow speed of information dissemination at that time, most of the people did not have channels to know the outside world, and it was normal for them not to know about the Tang Kingdom.
But this time the matter was too big, and the rumors of Huanglong and Bailong were too mysterious, coupled with the secret help of Taoists, finally let the name of Tang Guo spread to the people.
Then the people knew that the Kaiyuan Tongbao they used was from the Tang Kingdom, and the refined salt was also made by the Tang Dynasty......
……
Originally, the people didn't care about the victory or defeat of the battle of the Yellow Dragon and White Dragon, but when they found out that the salt they used to eat came from the Tang Kingdom, their hearts were tilted.
Huanglong is definitely stronger.
More and more rumors have arisen about the Tang Kingdom, what is there no war, what is rich and rivals, and what people can eat two nests for every meal......
No one in the top level of the world cares about this kind of rumor, especially the rumor of 'eating two nests for every meal', which has caused countless ridicule.
What foolishness and ignorance.
……
After the rumors of the battle of the Yellow and White Dragons reached the Jin Kingdom, it naturally aroused anger, especially the Sima clan.
The imperial court hurriedly ordered a ban on the spread of such rumors, but anyone who talked about this topic was punished as treason.
Even the scholars supported the imperial court's approach.
They are not really stupid, infighting is infighting, and the existence of the Jin State can ensure the interests of their family.
The harsh punishment law really worked, blocking the way for the rumors to spread, and the rumors of the Double Dragon War did not spread in the Jin Kingdom.
……
Hefei, Huan Wen looked at the two documents on the table, and his eyes flashed with struggle.
These two documents, one is about the Battle of Ssangyong, and the other is an order issued by the imperial court to prohibit the spread of rumors.
Now he's weighing what to do.
After five years of savings, he felt that his strength was enough, and it was time to restart the Northern Expedition.
It happened that Murong Ke besieged Luoyang, and he led his troops north to relieve the siege of Luoyang, and he could also have a big battle with Yan nearby.
It would be perfect if the main force of the Yan Kingdom could be eliminated in Luoyang.
But the imperial court unsurprisingly rejected his plan again, and tried to summon him to join the court to participate in politics. Huan Wen is not stupid, how could he enter Beijing, he found an excuse to refuse.
With the experience of the previous times, he knew that it was impossible for the imperial court to agree to him sending troops, so he decided to forcibly send troops.
This is also the reason why he is not in Jingzhou but in Hefei.
It's just that just a few days after arriving in Hefei, I heard the news that the Tang King was called the emperor, and I was envious and jealous in my heart.
Over the years, he has gained too many benefits from trading with Tang Guo, and his strength has not only recovered, but even surpassed before.
But correspondingly, Tang Guo also gained a lot of benefits in his hands.
The largest of them was the population, and he knew in his heart that he had privately sold more than 100,000 people to the other party since the trade with the Tang Kingdom.
Didn't he know the importance of population? No, it's all too clear.
But he didn't have any money in his hands, and Tang Guo's offer was too high, so in the end it could only be true incense.
In private, he also inquired about Tang Guo's intelligence, and indeed found out a lot of secrets.
For example, it is not only his family that uses the population to trade with the Tang Kingdom, and even there are a lot of people in the Yan Kingdom who are doing this.
For example, Funan has become a vassal of the Tang State......
Although he didn't know what the specific situation was, he deduced from various signs that the strength of the other party was far beyond everyone's imagination.
So he was the most jealous of Tang Guo.
But this jealousy did not make him afraid, but inspired a stronger fighting spirit.
He wanted to send troops to the Northern Expedition to defeat the Yan State and even the Qin State to reunify the world, and then follow the example of Sima.
can wait for the world, and look good for Tang Guo.
He had already decided to rebel in his heart, and had made a plan, so he naturally didn't want to maintain the dignity of the Jin family or anything.
It is in his interest to let the rumors of the Double Dragon War spread and further shake the hearts of the people of the Jin family.
But he was afraid that it would be self-defeating, what if he let the Jin family collapse in advance? At least for now, he needs a relatively stable base to realize the plan of the Northern Expedition.
Just as he hesitated, a guard came to report, and Sikong Che asked to see him.
