Hearing Wang Ji's words, the ministers in the court immediately began to talk one after another.

If this Wang Ji hadn't lied, now would really be a godsend for the Northern Expedition of the Jin Kingdom!

Think about it, in fact, the military strength of the Jin State is not bad at all, and even in the early years, it was better than the Qianzhao who occupied the Central Plains in terms of military strength, but as Shile and Shihu eliminated the princes of the separatist side in various places and became completely strong, the military confrontation between Jin and Zhao, the north and the south began to stalemate.

The families of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were reluctant and stolen. At that time, the royal family and the northern clans from the south regarded Jiangnan as a paradise on earth, drunk and dreaming of death, greedy for peace, and had no ambitions. Some ministers believe that "the field house cannot be re-sold, and the boat and car cannot be obtained", and Luoyang is "a country of peace and happiness, and a hometown suitable for chaos".

The local noble families in Jiangnan were reused by the imperial court, and they did not want the royal family to return to the north. The northern and southern clans rejected and restrained the generals from the Han clan in many ways.

There was still a constant struggle within the Jin Kingdom, and the most vivid examples were the Wang Dun Rebellion and the Su Jun Rebellion.

The biggest reason why the Eastern Jin Dynasty has been losing the Northern Expedition is that there are frequent civil strife. The Eastern Jin Dynasty is partial to the south of the Yangtze River, and the power is mostly in the hands of important ministers and strong generals, resulting in frequent civil strife!

The Jin Kingdom had many opportunities to recover the Central Plains, but they were all delayed.

And now, such a great opportunity is in front of them, can the Jin court seize this opportunity?

As the ruling minister, Sima Yu was the first to stand up and say: "Wang Ji, although my Great Jin has been committed to the Northern Expedition, the Northern Expedition has frequently failed. Now, although the two kingdoms of the Yan Dynasty in your north cooperate with the troops, they can contain part of the Wei army, but my Great Jin is prone to war, and the army is pressing, and the Wei State will definitely point the spearhead at the southern front! ”

"At that time, you Xianbei people will just fight the autumn wind, and the one who is fighting head-on with the Wei army is not our Jin Kingdom, isn't it?"

"King Huiji's words are wrong!" Wang Ji shook his head and said, "This time the Three Kingdoms were initiated by my Yan Kingdom, but the leader should be the imperial court. I guess you've all gotten the news, right? Ran Min has personally led a large army to the west, and is fighting with the Qin army in Tongguan, at this time, Ran Min is unable to withdraw, and the elite of Wei is all in Hedong, why is the court afraid? ”

"In this battle, as long as the imperial court is willing to send troops, it will definitely be won!"

Looking at Wang Ji's sworn appearance, Sima Yu couldn't figure out the authenticity of it.

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses will be dispatched by the two kingdoms of the Yan Dynasty?"

"On behalf of the country, 50,000 troops will be dispatched, and my Yan country will dispatch 80,000 elite troops! King Huiji, with so many soldiers and horses, isn't it enough to help the imperial court contain the main force of the Wei army? If King Huiji still doesn't believe it, he can wait for our Yan Dynasty coalition army to go south before launching a northern expedition to Wei! ”

"This ......"

Sima Yu hesitated.

In the next two days, the ministers of the Jin State have been discussing whether the Northern Expedition is feasible. Of course, it's all a war of words, and there are many people who agree, but there are also many who disagree.

Seeing this situation, Wang Ji couldn't help but sigh secretly, there are these ministers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty who only know empty talk and have no real material, and it is estimated that it will not last long.

Helpless, Wang Ji could only get up and go to Jiangling according to what Murong Ke had instructed him before leaving, and handed over a letter to Huan Wen.

After Huan Wen saw Murong Ke's handwritten letter, he admired Murong Ke even more and took him as a confidant.

In fact, after Huan Wen defeated the Cheng Han Dynasty, he repeatedly submitted a table to the imperial court and asked for the Northern Expedition. Especially during this period of time, there were three letters in a row, with sincere words, every word, from the bottom of my heart, but they were all left by the imperial court one by one!

His own opinion was ignored by the imperial court like this, which made Huan Wen very annoyed.

Now there are eight states under the rule of Huan Wen, recruiting soldiers and deploying resources on their own, gradually forming a semi-independent state, and gradually revealing their disobedience.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty court did this, coupled with Murong Ke's fanning of the flames, Huan Wen finally couldn't bear it. Huan Wen once again played a note to the imperial court, asking to lead the troops to the Northern Expedition, if he did not agree, he would implement the military advice and ask for the Northern Expedition!

Huan Wen this time, exactly the same as the last battle of Pingshu, "worship the table", that is, this side has just sent out the song, and the troops will be dispatched immediately!

On March 24, Huan Wen personally led an army of 50,000 people down the river to Wuchang (now Echeng, Hubei).

There was a rumor in Jiankang City.

"Woe to you! Woe to you! The Queen Mother! Woe to you! In the queen mother's bedroom, a chamberlain ran over in a panic.

"Not really. Niangniang, hurry up and report that Huan Wen, the general of Zhengxi, has led 50,000 soldiers to enter Wuchang City, looking tense! The ministers in the court couldn't make up their minds, and they were terrified, and now they all ask the Queen Mother to preside over the overall situation! ”

"What!"

Chu garlic couldn't help but change color.

This is really a disaster.

It's still a great disaster!

What does Huan Wen want to do?

Is he going to rebel?

didn't have time to ask the ins and outs of the matter, Chu Garlic hurriedly went to wash, and after dressing neatly, he went out to the Taihe Hall to preside over the court.

Looking at the ministers who looked frightened under the stage, Chu Garlic was angry and funny, these people talk about it on weekdays, they seem to be very reliable, and they all advocate as if Guan Zhong and Le Yi are alive, and at the critical moment, there is really no one who can be trusted!

Shame on the dead!

"King Huiji, what happened, why are the ministers so panicked?" Chu Lianzi opened his mouth to ask Sima Yu.

Sima Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Queen Mother, here's the thing. This morning, a few fast horses came to report, and the general Huan Wen of Zhengxi suddenly led 50,000 soldiers and horses down the river from Jiangling to Wuchang! This is without any warning, the imperial court did not issue any orders for Huan Wen to transfer before, so this is all Huan Wen's own initiative! ”

"Self-assertive?"

Chu Garliczi's good-looking eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and he said: "Huan Wen is so bold, without the order of the imperial court, he transferred troops without authorization, is he demonstrating to the imperial court?" Or does he want to rebel? ”

Generally speaking, without the order of the imperial court and without the war, the generals stationed at the border pass privately transferred troops and sent generals, which was to behead or punish the nine clans.

Now that Huan Wen is doing this, it is tantamount to rebellion!

And the ministers also discussed, and their ideas were similar to Chu Garlic.

"This Huan Wen is really damned! He must have been demonstrating to the imperial court! ”

"Humph! This thief, thanks to Emperor Ming, he promised the eldest princess of Nankang to him, and now that he is powerful, he dares to take revenge! Such a disloyal and unrighteous person really deserves a thousand cuts! ”

"Will Huan Wen make trouble like Wang Dun and Su Jun?"

"By doing this, he is already committing a rebellion! Without any order from the imperial court, he dared to transfer troops privately, who gave him the power? He has no emperor! ”

When Sima Yu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid things are not so simple. ”

In fact, Huan Wen's experience is really similar to that of Wang Dun and Su Jun.

Wang Dun, born in the Shi clan, married Princess Xiangcheng of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty. In the early years, he was appointed as the Huangmen Shilang, Wang Yan recommended him as the Qingzhou Thorn History, and when Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, was in power, he was appointed as the Yangzhou Thorn History. Sima Rui moved to the town of Jianye, called for the military counselor, and later succeeded Liu Tao as the assassin of Yangzhou and the governor of the military.

Together with Wang Dao, he supported the Jiangdong regime of the Sima clan, eliminated the disobedient Jiangzhou assassin Shi Huayi, and suppressed the Jingxiang exile uprising led by Du Tao. The economic and military center of gravity of the Eastern Jin Dynasty lies in Jing and Yang, Wang Dun entered the position of Zhendong General, Kaifu Yitong and the Third Division, Jiadu supervised the military of Jiang, Yang, Jing, Hunan, Jiao, and Guangzhou, and Jiangzhou Assassin History, sealed the Han Anhou, mastered the army in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, ruled the prefectures and counties, paid tribute to himself, and sent more officials out of his door, specializing in court politics, threatening the Jin family.

Emperor Sima Rui of the Jin Yuan Dynasty was both afraid and disgusted, reused Liu Kui, Diao Xie, etc. to contend with it, and let the servants in Yangzhou form an army, and appointed Liu Kui as the general of Zhenbei and Dai Yuan as the general of Zhengxi.

In the first month of the first year of Yongchang (322), Wang Dun raised troops in Wuchang (now Ezhou, Hubei) in the name of punishing Kui and evil, and Shen Chong, a great clan in the south of the Yangtze River, also raised troops in response, Wang Dun attacked Jiankang, killed Dai Yuan, Zhou Yi, Diao Xie, and Liu Kui defected to Shile. The imperial court took Wang Dun as the prime minister, Jiangzhou pastor, entered the Duke of Wuchang County, and returned to Wuchang.

In that year, Emperor Yuan died of illness, and Emperor Ming ascended the throne, and under duress, he sent an edict to conquer Dun into the auxiliary government of the dynasty. Dun moved from Wuchang to the town of Gu (now Anhui Dangtu), with Wang Dao as the Situ, from the Yangzhou pastoral, soon seriously ill.

In 324 AD, Emperor Ming of Jin ordered a crusade.

Wang Dun took his brother Wang Han as the marshal, so that Qian Feng and others led 30,000 troops to attack Jiankang, and Emperor Ming personally led the six armies to resist.

In the end, Dun died of illness, and the corpse was hung in the south truss.

You must know that because Sima Rui relied on Wang Dun and Wang Dao to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty and consolidate the foundation of the country, people at that time said: "The king and the horse share the world." ”
