Since the world is divided into three, the three kingdoms are still attacking each other. Among them, the state of Chu occupies the most extensive territory of Bashu in the south of the Yangtze River, the state of Jin has the most population and economy in the Central Plains and Hebei, and only the state of Liang is based on Guanlong, and its strength is far less than that of the other two countries.

At the beginning, Wei Yuan claimed that the emperor had three northern expeditions, and successively captured the land of Nansizhou and Nanxuzhou, which was quite angry and swallowed the world. But since the failure of the Third Northern Expedition, Wei Yuan realized that it was impossible to unify the world, and turned to metaphysics and Buddhism, so that the Chu State turned from offensive to defensive in the next few decades. The Jin and Liang kingdoms in the north were happy to have less trouble and no longer provoke the Chu state when they saw that the guards no longer moved troops, and then the two countries launched a decades-long repeated struggle around the land of Sizhou.

No, the northern land has just calmed down, and finally ushered in a new war, Chu Taiqing forty-four years, Jin Zhengsheng twenty-one years, Liang Xingwu twenty-five years, Jin State Sizhou Thorn Shi Yuanli rebelled against Jin and surrendered to Liang.

Yuan Li was originally a member of the Jin clan, but he was not on good terms with Emperor Yuan Song of the Jin Dynasty, and he had no choice but to cool down in order to protect himself. But when Yuan Li served as the assassin of Sizhou before, Yuan Song left a hand and let him only have political power and not military power, and the real controller of Sizhou was actually Sima Mengjun of Sizhou. But despite this, Yuanli's betrayal still shocked the Jin State, and the Liang State saw the opportunity to take advantage of the surrender of Yuanli to seize Luoyang and advance into the Central Plains, so he raised 100,000 troops led by Emperor Fucheng of Liang to take Sizhou directly.

Yuan Song saw that Huang Fucheng was not weak, and he personally led the army to rescue Luoyang. Because Huang Fucheng had defeated Meng Jun before, he took advantage of the situation to surround Luoyang, and Meng Jun had no choice but to hold on to the city to wait for reinforcements.

Soon after, the reinforcements led by Yuan Song marched to Pishan near Luoyang, and the two armies confronted each other at Pishan. The two sides fought many times in Bishan and won and lost each other, but the Liang army was not as good as the Jin army to fight, and the Huangfu Cheng saw that the advantage of the surprise attack was not there, so he decisively ordered the withdrawal of the army, at this time Meng Jun in Luoyang City took advantage of the situation to kill and Yuansong one after the other to attack the Liang army, Huangfu Cheng all the way out of Sizhou before the city and land were all abandoned, and the grain and grass were left behind, which can be described as a fiasco.

In this battle, Sima Mengjun of Sizhou insisted on attacking and was promoted to the history of Sizhou Assassin, and at the same time, this battle once again extinguished the heart of Liangguo to enter the Central Plains. At this time, the state of Chu in the south was still carried away in the sound of the Buddha, so he didn't care at all about this ordinary war between Liang and Jin. But this ordinary war can no longer be ordinary, and it seems that it has little impact, and it will not be long before his aftermath will pry into the balance of power in the world that has been fixed for decades.

Linchuan

Wei Ji was summoned to Jiankang before, thinking that Wei Yuan learned that the Liangjin War wanted to start a northern expedition, but when he arrived in Jiankang, he realized that it was his father who made a moth again, and he was forced to donate a large amount of money without saying anything. Originally, he was exhausted in Yuezhou because of the matter of repairing the river and suppressing bandits, and the court didn't care about it and said that he had to donate money to the temple, which was really... (500 words omitted here).

After returning to Linchuan with a disgraced face, he suddenly found Wei Ze's submission, and Wei Ji called him a good guy! What is Cheng Hong's identity? Cheng is a needle inserted in Yuezhou, don't look at the official position, but he doesn't even want to mess with himself, which is why Cheng Hong has been messing around in Jin'an for so many years, and Wei Ji has turned a blind eye. I thought that this stinky boy would be familiar with government affairs after his experience, and it would take him so long to get such a big deal.

The Cheng family is the largest family in Yangzhou, and at the beginning, he seized the country with his father Wei Yuan, who was the former Sheng family, if it was really difficult to start, even if Wei Yuan thought about favoring himself, I am afraid that it would not be good to say anything. Although it was stated in this submission that he had negotiated with Cheng, he was still not at ease, so he immediately ordered Wu Yue to come back for questioning, and personally sent a letter to Jiankang to explain to Cheng Yi, which led to the later discipline and defense rules.

But before Chenghong's matter was settled, Wei Ze's report arrived again.

Yang Jun, Ren Lian, and Lu Qingyuan, who usually don't show up much, in the Linchuan Palace, all came. If nothing else, what was discussed was the new submission from Wei Ze.

There was silence in the hall, and several people had different expressions, but no one spoke first.

Wei Ji looked at Yang Jun, who was frowning deeply, and coughed lightly, and Yang Jun responded: "This law is a good law for the prince, and the conditions of the Yue people are not difficult to do." Kechen was worried that the Yue people would take advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger after receiving our weapons, armor, and money and food, and it would not be long before the verdict would be reissued. ”

Ren Lian on the side also spoke: "Yang Gong is right, this Yue people are now weak and will have the heart to belong, if you take the opportunity to make a big difficulty, you will not repeat the previous things, you must know that we have been fighting with these Yue people for so many years, although in recent years they have been very calm and have not disturbed the villages and townships, but they are always hidden dangers." ”

Listening to the worries of the two, Wei Ji turned his head to look at Lu Qingyuan again, Lu Qingyuan smiled faintly: "What Yang Gong and Ren Gong said has its truth, but I feel that what is said in this submission is the key, we have mutual suspicion and mutual suspicion with Yue and He, in the final analysis, it is complementary identity and mutual incompatibility, and the idea that non-our race will have different hearts, but in this way, you will doubt him tomorrow and he will doubt you, and in the end, you will not be chaotic." ”

Yang Jun nodded and said: "The words of the prince are straight to the point, but after all, this Yue people are not convinced by the king's rude nature, and it is not a bad thing if it is a tiger for trouble." ”

Lu Qingyuan said: "It is common sense that the sheep is worried, but it also ignores common sense. The rebellion of the foreign race is not only because it is strong, but because of the strength of the court, the strength of the foreign race, the weakness of the court, the foreign race will rise, so we should not worry about the tiger for trouble, but the strength of the tiger raiser. Now that the Yue people are weak and the imperial court has no war, it is the time for the southeast to use troops. If the tiger is driven into the cage according to this law, so that it can be practiced in accordance with the law, within a few generations, the Yue people will no longer be the Yue people. ”

Wei Ji let out a long sigh: "The state of Chu is also surging now, and Liang Jin has just had a big war before. Taking advantage of the fact that the country is still calm, it is the best period to use troops to stabilize the rear in the southeast. Ze'er drove away Cheng Hong before, and took back the right to transport salt, if I can make the Yue people belong again, I don't have to worry about it! ”

Lu Qingyuan said: "The art of war: a soldier who surrenders without a fight, and a good person who is good." From the point of view below, this time the more people are willing to give in, it has a lot to do with the previous transfer of troops to Ying County. If you can take advantage of the current confrontation between the Yue people and the mountain bandits, they will save swords, you must know that the current Yuezhou Treasury can't support the war. ”

As soon as he heard the money and grain from the government treasury, he couldn't stop nodding: "The cost of money and grain for repairing the river in Fuzhou is very large, if it is not for the wealth of the family brought by the prince, I am afraid it will be difficult to support, and it is not an overnight thing to let Jin'an establish a trading company to manage salt affairs, and now is indeed not the time to raise a big army." ”

Wei Ji smiled: "I didn't expect that the unintentional envoy would let this stinky boy do a few big things, which really surprised this king." I heard him say that this frustration Cheng Hong appeased the Cheng family, and this Fuyue strategy was all called Zhang Jian by the doorman who saved him in the first place? ”

His Royal Highness couldn't help but look at each other, Wei Ze's submission and Wu Yue's previous recital were indeed mentioned many times.

Wei Ji continued: "I didn't expect this Zhang Jian to be a talent, since Ze'er relies on him so much, it is inconvenient for me to ask more." Judging by what you are discussing today, it seems that you agree with this strategy, so it is okay for them to give it a try, but I am considering whether to send an old and respectful person to assist him? ”

Lu Qingyuan hurriedly stopped: "No, the prince is going to temper the prince, this time the prince is doing things decently, if he sends someone else, it will make the prince fearful, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating if the assistance is not successful, the prince has said let go and let the prince try, I think it is better to let go completely, just help in the back, let the garrison of Yingxian County make a big move to deter the two mountains." ”

Wei Ji was still a little hesitant, and the three of His Royal Highness looked at each other and said: "The prince is smart and benevolent, and he is willing to speak well, and he can trust big things." The prince no longer needs to doubt, doubt will change. ”

Wei Ji laughed and said: "Since you believe in this kid so much, then I will completely let him take full responsibility for this matter, and I hope he will not disappoint us." ”

With a few people's determination, Wei Ji no longer had doubts, and immediately ordered Wei Zezhu to be fully responsible for appeasing the Yue people and clearing out the mountain bandits, and the affairs in Jin'an did not need to be reported to be self-determined.
