Chapter 341: Changing the Flag
Lu Xunzu, a staff member of the General's Mansion, came to Shangyong County and was warmly received by the county guard Fu Meng, after all, for a person like Fu Meng, who has been a general twice, you can't expect him to be able to keep the festival for Nanliang when he is alone.
What Fu Meng needs to consider is just to choose between hugging Yuwentai and running to Gao Cheng's arms.
Of course, Gao Cheng didn't know what Fu Meng was thinking, but he was indeed sure, after all, the price offered was not low.
Lu Xunzu told that Gao Cheng was willing to use his merits to return to the city, play the Son of Heaven, and crown him as the son of Shangyong County, although in the eighth rank of the lord, that is, the county king, the county duke, the county marquis, the county uncle, the county son, the county man, and the township man, he is only in the third to the penultimate class, but compared with the second-to-last Danqu county man sealed by Nanliang, it can be regarded as a lift.
At the same time, he promised to grant Fu Meng as the governor of the water division, and assist the governor of the left to train the water division.
As for the two counties of Shangyong and Xincheng, they were succeeded by their sons.
On this point, Fu Meng has quite an objection, and he hopes that Gao Cheng can allow his family to Yongzhen Shangyong, Xincheng and the two counties, and the hereditary county guard.
In this regard, Lu Xunzu said very unceremoniously that there were many assassins in Guanlong before to descend to the land of a state, but they were only knighted and retained, with the first king giving up the hereditary history and the history of the state assassination, there was no hereditary local governor in the Great Wei, and the son of Fumeng could be allowed to take over the position of the county guard, which was already an exception made in order to let Fumeng leave the second county with peace of mind and go to the field to train the navy.
After that, after mentioning Yu Jin's story with Fu Meng, he asked rhetorically:
"The king knows that the county guards the water war, and cherishes the ability of the county guard, so he sent an envoy to recruit him. If it is only for the land of two counties, it is only necessary to send General Hu Lu (Hu Luguang) to lead 30,000 troops from the north out of Shaanzhou, General Gao (Gao Ji style) to lead 30,000 troops from the east to Guangzhou, Hou Tingshi (Hou Jing) to lead 20,000 troops from the south to Jingzhou, and 80,000 troops to attack from three sides. ”
Hu Luguang and Gao Jishi are just training generals, but they are just intimidating, do they really have to explain clearly with the powers of the generals.
Fu Meng knows that this is true, there are really so many troops stationed around Shangyong and Xincheng, after all, they are all neighbors, and there are no spies in ordinary times.
This is also the reason why he is dedicated to Gao Cheng instead of Yuwentai.
After all, even if Hou Jing wanted to guard against Nanliang and couldn't send troops, only the 60,000 Xianbei soldiers from Shaanxi and Guangzhou who had just been resettled in Shaanxi and Guangzhou were not something that his two or three thousand people could resist.
Having said that, Fu Meng no longer insisted on being the hereditary county guard of the second county, and happily agreed to the conditions given by Gao Cheng.
Shangyong County withdrew the Liang Banner on the same day, and the son of Fu Meng, who was in charge of the affairs of Xincheng County, learned the news and immediately erected the Wei Banner at the head of the city.
Fu Meng left his son to guard the new city and Shangyong two counties, and he was invited by Lu Xunzu to visit Gao Cheng, which was also a trust in Gao Cheng's past political credibility, so that Fu Meng could go to Luoyang with confidence.
If you want to change Gao Huan's move, it is estimated that you will have to urge repeatedly, and even send troops to invite each other, before you are willing to twist and pinch your body.
In fact, the reason why Fu Meng chose the Gao family was not because of Gao Cheng's good reputation, and he changed Yuwentai, even if he said it out of the blue, he didn't dare to believe it, after all, he had sucked Xiao Yan's blood for so many years, and after the defeat in Guanzhong, he turned his head and attacked the alliance.
On the way, Lu Xunzu received two pieces of news, one was that the Liang envoy had arrived in Luoyang, and the second was that his grandfather, Lu Wenwei, who was recuperating in Luoyang, died at the age of sixty.
Gao Cheng personally went to mourn, and went to the Son of Heaven, and posthumously presented the envoy, the servant, the general, the governor Ding, Ying, Cang Sanzhou military, Shangshu Zuo Servant Shooting, and Dingzhou Thorn History.
Compared with the title of Lu Wen's great Xia County baron, this honor is really generous.
Among the people who participated in the construction of Xindu, Lu Wenwei was the lowest group of people, and it was also related to the experience of instigating the rebellion of Liu Lingzhu, a god operator, in the early years, which made Gao Huan feel that he was ambitious.
Maybe he learns from Li Yuanzhong and takes the initiative to stuff people into the palace of King Xiaogao, so that he will not die and still be just a county baron, look at Li Yuanzhong, the name of Zhao County Sanli in Gaocheng's inner courtyard, and even approach Boling Sancui.
Whether it was in Gao Huan or Gao Cheng, Li Yuanzhong was very prosperous, and he always held an important position.
Since Lu Gongdao, the father of Lu Xunzu, went before Lu Wenwei, the title of the baron of Daxia County naturally had to be inherited by Lu Xunzu.
Gao Cheng got the news of Shangyong and the two counties of Xincheng to change their flags, and immediately persuaded Lu Wenwei to surrender, and Shangshu asked him to be crowned the son of Daxia County.
He has always rewarded those who have made meritorious contributions.
Lu Xunzu returned to Luoyang City, endured his grief, first took Fu Meng to Zhongshu Province to meet him, and repeatedly thanked Gao Cheng for posthumously presenting his grandfather with mourning, and then returned to his home to participate in the funeral, leaving Fu Meng to accept Gao Cheng's advice on water warfare knowledge.
Although Fu Meng was surprised that King Qi was ashamed to ask, he also had to answer all questions.
Between the two of them asking and answering, Gao Cheng also had some understanding of water warfare, and knew better that Fu Meng was indeed talented.
As for the post of Dingzhou Assassin of Wei Digan, he was replaced by Gao Guiyan.
As a native of Daibei Xianbei, Di Gan is naturally not able to fight water warfare.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you can learn slowly under the auxiliary of the recruited Governors of the Navy, and more importantly, the Governors of the Navy's Masters must be trustworthy members of their own family, it is obvious that Gao Cheng, the upright uncle, is the best choice regardless of qualifications or loyalty.
Gao Guiyan, the brother of Gao Huan's clan who once assisted Gao Cheng in Jinyang to capture Gao Yue, has reached the age of eighteen, and Gao Cheng has not treated this little uncle who has made meritorious contributions.
Dingzhou has a great relationship, Gao Cheng named Gao Guiyan as the assassin of Dingzhou, and at the same time, on the grounds that he had not been in battle, he ordered the general He Baren to unify the army in Dingzhou, so as to realize the separation of the military and government in Dingzhou.
In addition to Gao Cheng's gradual implementation of the policy of separating the military from the government, he also did not fall behind in the process of forming a naval army, and he recruited water war generals from various ministries, such as Guo Yuanjian, the governor of the naval division, who was sent by Gao Cheng to Xiangyang to ask for it from Hou Jing.
At the same time, he ordered Gao Longzhi to be responsible for recruiting craftsmen and building warships, and selected 50,000 soldiers from prefectures and counties in the Sanhe region, especially in Huaibei and Jingzhou, to form a sailor division and prepare for training in the two rivers of Luo and Yin.
Such a momentum does not require the envoys of Nanliang and Xizuo to deliberately listen to the news, it is already a well-known thing.
The news was transmitted back to Jiankang, and it was not surprised to learn that Fu Meng had surrendered to Wei, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, including Xiao Yan, was not surprised, after all, this person had a criminal record.
But Gao Cheng made a big effort to train the sailors, who was his intention, it is self-evident, in the face of Gao Cheng's undisguised heart of unification in the south, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Liang no longer mentioned Shu.
