And in May of the fifth year, in the meeting hall of the Shouchun City Thorn History Mansion in Southern Yuzhou, most of the officials sitting around the silk yarn were dressed in soapy white yarn edge sheets, wearing a folded scarf, only the person in the middle was wearing a red cloth and silk yarn official uniform, wearing a small crown of lacquer sarong with a gauze hat, and a sad look on his face was Yuan Zhen, the assassin of Southern Yuzhou of the Jiangzuo Imperial Court.

"Father, Huan Fuzi is too deceitful!" It was Yuan Zhen's son Yuan Jin who opened his mouth to break the silence.

Gong Cao Wu Tanzhi continued: "What the prince said is true, according to the news from Jianye, after the self-defense form of Lord Assassin Shi was submitted, due to the flames of the Great Sima and the fact that he led the army to town in Guangling (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu), the imperial court should not act without permission, and it is noncommittal to Lord Assassin's self-defense, and the situation is not good for adults." ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Jin and the others couldn't help but feel even more angry on their faces, with a layer of black and red sE, but Yuan Zhen still didn't sE, and still sat there with a sad face.

Huainan County Taishou Zhu Fu stroked the beard on his chin and said: "The situation is very clear, Huan Fuzi's spearhead on the table this time is directly aimed at our Shouchun and Xia. However, everyone understands in their hearts that Huan Fuzi is determined to hold Lord Shi accountable this time. ”

"Lord Zhu is right, Lord Fang Hui (愔) is Chao's father, and Chao is now popular under Huan Wen, with this beard joining the army, Lord Fang Hui can naturally get out easily, and Huan Fuzi Wanjun's anger may only be borne by his father." Yuan Jin said with a sneer.

Huan Wen in a few years to conquer and promote Wang Tanzhi for the long history, super for the army, Wang Dao's grandson Wang Xun as the main book, there is something to plan with Chao Wang Xun. Chao's beard is long, while Wang Xun is short. Jiang Zuo said strange things: "Joining the army, a short master book, can make the public happy and angry." "The arrogant Huan Wen never admires others easily, but he looks at Chao differently and leans towards him. Chao is also deeply self-accepting, and tries his best to curry favor with Huan Wen.

"Jingxing (super character), Fa Hu (Wang Xun's nickname), one is the grandson of Wencheng (Jianzhi number), and he has been known as 'Zhuo Unruly' since he was a child. There is a degree of magnificence, a journey to Shilin, every victory, good talk, righteousness JiNg micro'. One is the grandson of Wang Taibao (Wang Dao), who has been chic since he was a child, and his articles are famous all over the world. I can't imagine that today I am all attached to the wing of Da Sima, which is really a trick. Yuan Zhen, who had not made a sound just now, suddenly spoke.

Everyone quietly listened to Yuan Zhen's sigh, knowing that his assassin was originally a general under Wang Dao, and he had been guarding Nanyuzhou. It was the main force of Huainan to resist the northern army, and the northern expedition of Chu was defeated in the fifth year of Yonghe (350 AD). At that time, Yuan Zhen, who was the Taishou of Lujiang, captured Hefei in one fell swoop, which was one of the few bright spots in the desolation of Jiangzuo's fiasco at that time.

Fang Hui believed in Taoism, but Jingxing believed in Buddhism. Fang Hui gathered well, accumulated tens of millions of money, and once opened a library for Jingxing to take. Jing Xingsheng X is good to give, and within one day, all the money will be scattered with his relatives. Wu Tanzhi seemed to be very familiar with Chao, and began to tell the glorious history of Chao with his fingers, mainly to Yuan Jin, who didn't know the inside story.

"Jingxing was opened by Huan Gong as Fujun in the first year of Yonghe (345 AD), and in May of the first year of Xingning (363 AD). Gong was promoted to the Great Sima, and Jing Xing was also promoted to join the army. In the second year of Shengping, Beifu attacked Yan for the first time, and Huan Gong's soldiers responded to Luoyan. Won first and then defeated, tens of thousands of troops were all defeated in Chaoge. When the troops were dispatched, Jing Xing once advised, 'This time to cut Yan, you can be led by Beifu.' Our army responded. You can first manage the land of Henan in the state, and wait for the defeat of the Yan army in Beifu, and the situation has been decided, you can wave your army to the north, or you can conquer the pseudo-capital, or you can recover Hebei, then the righteousness of the world is in the big Sima, and the Beifu does not dare to fight, and it will avoid the front. If the army crosses the north without permission, once the pseudo-Yan avoids the strong and weak, our army will be in a catastrophe. However, Duke Huan disdained this plan, and was defeated by Murong Ke, the king of Wu of the puppet Yan. ”

Wu Tanzhi glanced at Yuan Jin, who was fascinated, and continued: "Since then, Duke Huan has paid more attention to Jingxing, even more than Wang Yuanlin (Wang Xun). If Jing Xing wants to keep his father in this matter, he must use a trick to stab Lord Shi with all the fingers. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Jin couldn't help but scolded loudly: "Such a vertical son dares!" ”

"He just dares!" Yuan Zhen glared at his son, then turned to Zhu Fu and said, "Huainan, you can talk about it." ”

"Yes, my lord, according to the latest reports, Da Sima Biaohuan Yi is the Taishou of Huainan and is stationed in Liyan (now Hexian County, Anhui), and Biaohuan Shiqian is the Taishou of Lujiang and stationed in Xiang'an (near Wuwei County, Anhui today)."

Zhu Fu's words made everyone speechless again, and the entire venue fell into a cold scene again. Lujiang is Yuan Zhen's nest, operating for many years, and now most of the places are still in the hands of Yuan Jin, the Taishou of Lujiang, and Huainan is the foundation of Southern Yuzhou, so Yuan Zhen will be a confidant and important minister Zhu Fu for Huainan Taishou. Now Huan Wen is slamming the Son of Heaven to order the princes, starting with the two counties of Lujiang and Huainan, and the means cannot be regarded as ruthless.

"Father, we have only one way to go." After being silent for a long time, Yuan Jin gritted his teeth and said.

"Which way?" Wu Tanzhi asked tightly.

"Lift Shouchun Beitou!" Yuan Jin said hatefully.

Yuan Zhen's eyes narrowed suddenly, while Wu Tanzhi, Zhu Fu and others had bright eyes, but they didn't make a sound, just cast their blazing eyes on Yuan Zhen in the middle.

"Will Beifu accept us?" Yuan Zhen's words made Yuan Jin, Zhu Fu and others secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and it seems that Yuan Zhen is also moved.

"Lord Assassin Shi," Zhu Fu replied after a moment's consideration, "and the imperial court does not want Lord Assassin Shi to be brought down by Duke Huan. Lord Assassin Shi is an old minister who follows Taibao (Wang Dao), with outstanding merits, and his reputation is not under Duke Huan. If Lord Thorn Shi is in Shouchun, he can not only reject Beifu in the north, but also control Jingxiang in the west, becoming a restraining force. Once Duke Huan succeeds and Shouchun falls into Jingxiang's bag, won't the Jiangzuo court be even more difficult, and the tiger and wolf look around? ”

Seeing Yuan Zhen nodding again, Wu Tanzhi hurriedly continued: "Lord Thorn Shi, we don't really want to join the Beifu camp when we move Beitou, because even if we really go Beitou, Beifu doesn't dare to really accept it, with their strength, if they really want to take Huainan, they won't keep me in Shouchun for a few years." ”

Although Wu Tanzhi's words are ugly, they are true. Shouchun is an important place in Huainan, it is the middle road town of the north-south road, and the Baisheng division of Beifu has millions of soldiers, and it is very simple to take Shouchun. They don't want to go south. Naturally, he is afraid of the world's public opinion, after all, he is still nominally a minister of the Great Jin.

"The reason why we Beitou is to pull Beifu into this matter, as long as Beifu is involved, Duke Huan will definitely be cautious and dare not make trespassing."

As soon as Yuan Jin finished speaking in the land of Wu Tan, he immediately jumped up: "Wu Gongcao is really a good strategy!" As long as Beifu shows its attitude, I think not only will our Shouchun be relaxed, but the Jiangzuo court will also be better. ”

Really, Beifu is the only force that Huan Wen has to scruple about, as long as he can pull Beifu into this troubled water. Does Huan Wen dare to be so arrogant? And once the Beifu shows its attitude, the Jiangzuo court will also straighten its waist. Beifu has coveted Shouchun for a long time, but he didn't dare to act because of people's words, and this time Shouchun can take the initiative to surrender to his ministers, isn't it

"Good! We sent people to Chang'an to present my letter of surrender. On the other hand, he immediately sent people to Jiangzuo Jianye to show the real meaning of Shouchun to all the important ministers who supported us, saying that Beitou was just an expedient measure, but in fact, Nanyuzhou was dedicated to the imperial court. As long as the imperial court takes a stand, we can nominally be under the jurisdiction of the Northern Mansion. Escaping from Duke Huan's criticism and control, he could even refuse to send troops into the Beifu in the name of the imperial court. Be neutral. Yuan Zhen lowered his head and thought for a long time before he said slowly.

"Beifu is a tiger, Jingxiang is a wolf, although it is very dangerous to use a tiger to resist a wolf this time, but it can only be like this."

Yuan Zhendi's words made Zhu Fu and the others silent, and their mood suddenly became even heavier.

"Lord Thorn Shi, Zhu Xian, the internal history of Huainan, and Zhu Bin, the internal history of the younger brother Lujiang, I am afraid that they will not be able to work together." Wu Tanzhi suddenly spoke.

Yuan Zhen didn't speak, but turned his gaze to Zhu Fu.

Zhu Fu knew that his two clan brothers were very dissatisfied with Beifu in their hearts, and would rather hand over Nanyuzhou to Huan Wen than let Beifu arch. He hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Killable!" ”

Day 2. Yuan Zhen sent his sons Yuan Shuangzhi and Yuan Aizhi to rush to Xia Cai (now Fengtai, Anhui) and Shucheng at starry night, and used Zhu Xian, the internal history of Huainan, and Zhu Bin, the internal history of the younger brother Lujiang, to pass through the Xuzhou Fan thief rebellion and behead them in front of the ya. and sent his son Yuan Qianzhi to Chang'an to send a letter to Beitou. Secretly sent Sima Liang to infiltrate Jianye, and used secret letters to show Xie An, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Wang Tanzhi and others. Then spread the word to the world, pointing directly at Huan Wen's arrogance. Arbitrary power and tyranny, Yu did Wang Dun Su Jun's affairs, and announced that Nanyu Prefecture was willing to be the leader of the world, and even made an appointment with the loyal ministers of the world to eliminate violence and help the Jin room.

Although Yuan Zhen's text did not directly say that Huan Wen was rebellious and wanted the world to raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch, the meaning of the words was already very clear, and it immediately made Huan Wen jump like thunder, and immediately went to Jianye in the name of Da Sima Di, asking for a crusade against the rebellious Yuan Zhen. And passed a letter to Xuzhou Ra Shi Su, and Jiangzhou Ra made Huan Chong, asking them to respond together.

Huan Chong is Huan Wen's younger brother, which goes without saying. Xuzhou Thorn Shi Su saw that Yuan Zhen carried the big head, and he got out of the Xuzhou incident, and immediately replied to Huan Wen with B0B0 interest, and made an appointment with Huan Wen in high spirits, saying that he wanted to work together with Huan Wen to support the royal family, and patted his chest and said that he would definitely lead the army to the west of Huai.

—

This letter has not yet reached Huan Wen's hands, but according to the usual practice, it has first arrived in the hands of the military super. Chao received a letter from his father, opened it, and immediately tore it up. Because Chao knows, Huan Wen has always envied the people of Xuzhou for how strong they are, and they are the place where the JiNg soldiers gather. often nagged in his ear: "Jingkou wine can be drunk, and soldiers can use it." It seems that he does not want his father to remain in office, and has often hinted in letters that he voluntarily resigned. But my father was so confused that he didn't understand Huan Wen's hints, and he dared to write to Huan Wen and ask him to make great contributions together, didn't this make Huan Wen find a chance to clean up the house? <:;.Handsome Zhicai, old, T and sick, hoping to give an idle pension, Xuzhou's army was under the command of Huan Wen. Huan Wen was overjoyed when he received the letter, and immediately reported the transfer of the champion general and the internal history of the Huiji, and led the general of Zhenbei and the history of the Xuzhou assassin.

In July of the fifth year of Taihe, just as Huan Wen stepped up the incorporation of the Xuzhou army, and stepped up the encirclement and suppression of the Fan thief rebels who continued to be active in the vast areas of Guangling, Donghai, and Linhuai counties, he was ready to turn west after cleaning up the Fan thief rebels and exterminate Yuan Zhen who dared to argue with him in one fell swoop.

But at this time, Beifu called out grievances for Yuan Zhen, saying that there will be victory and defeat in the marching war, and if the last defeat is the main general, the main general will take the blame and resign, who will dare to lead the troops in the future? And the meaning in the table is that Yuan Zhen was not defeated, and the defeated land was a certain big Sima, since the real defeated person was not held responsible, how could this undefeated person be responsible? This is absolutely unfair.

Seeing this letter, Huan Wen was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He knew who wrote this recital, and Wang Meng, who "acted" the political affairs of Beifu, had a conflict with Huan Wen for a long time, and he had added disgust to Huan Wen before. In the second year of Shengping, he borrowed Wang Mengdong out of the pot to cut Yan, and raised troops in Henan in response, originally squatting in Chaoge and wanted to wait for Wang Meng's Beifu army and Yan army to fight you Si I live and then come out to pick up a cheap, who knew that Wang Meng took advantage of a little bit and squatted there without saying a word, but he was attacked by the Yan army cavalry, tens of thousands of JiNg Rui were empty in a battle, and g got b Yuan Zhen was too much. Later, he appeared in the name of Beifu and criticized himself, if Zeng Hua hadn't pressed hard, maybe he would have pointed at his nose and scolded him.

Huan Wen knew that Zeng Hua was not in Chang'an now, and he knew that the great general of the Great Jin Dynasty was much more "competent", and he took JiNg soldiers to open up the territory for the Great Jin Dynasty two years ago, and he had not been in contact for more than a year, and he heard that he had hit the western region of b and the west. If Zeng Hua was in Chang'an, because of the situation, Beifu would not be so direct at Huan Wen. But now one of the people in charge of military affairs in Beifu is Wang Meng, whom Huan Wen hates very much, Xie Ai, who is not familiar with it at all, and Pu, who has never heard of it before. And Che Yin and Mao Muzhi, two acquaintances who came out of Jingxiang and could speak, said frankly that Ai could not help, because although one of them protected the seal of the Qin State and the other protected the seal of the general, they could only seal and had no real power.

Huan Wen was angry and had a war of words with Wang Meng, one said that the other party was a sour Confucian scholar, misleading the country and the people, and the other said that the other party was arbitrary, and the internal fighting was better than the external war. Seeing Beifu's statement, the Jiangzuo court also changed its previous cowardly image and began to speak out. Sima Wang, the king of Huiji, had a mission to meet his old friend Huan Wen in Guangling, persuaded him not to go his own way anymore, and said that Jingxiang and Beifu were both Bofan towns in the Great Jin Dynasty, and there was no need to fight over a trivial matter, so it was better for the imperial court to issue an edict to Yuan Zhen of Shouchun to give him a beating.

At this point, Huan Wen also has to take over the steps built by Sima, first, Sima is the father-in-law of Zeng Huadi in Beifu, and this face has to be given. Zeng Hua "returned to China alone" and had no relatives, and the old prince Sima was Zeng Hua's real "relative". Although Zeng Hua also has the gift of his father and teacher, he seems to be inferior to Sima Lao Wang in terms of human feelings. If you continue to count it like this, if you don't give face to King Huiji, you won't give Zeng Hua face, and if you don't give Zeng Hua face, you won't give face to Beifu, so hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Beifu won't give you face.

The second is that Huan Wen saw that Yuan Zhen and Beifu were now out of the nostrils, and if there was no cat in it, Huan Wen would not believe it. In the past, Huan Wen of Nanyu Prefecture was not in his eyes, but now that he has an additional Beifu behind him, Huan Wen has to weigh it.

Since Huan Wen was willing to settle the matter, the imperial court picked up the shelf and issued an edict, put Yuan Zhen for a while, and dismissed him as the general of Beizhonglang, so that he could continue to lead the assassination history of Southern Yuzhou on behalf of him, and "make meritorious service to the crime".

So this uproar seems to have been resolved, but this matter is the same as Fan LiuZa0F in the Xuzhou incident, and the consequences are far more than that.
