Wang Hong's expression changed: "You mean, someone wants to support Sima Xiuxi and go to Wu to become independent?"
Wang Hua sighed: "Only in troubled times, such clan princes who have been authorized by the court have the right to legally recruit soldiers in their own fiefdoms. If it were just children of other aristocratic families, it would be very troublesome."
Speaking of this, a trace of desolation flashed in his eyes: "When Wang Guobao was in chaos, Yangzhou Governor Wang Gong and Jingzhou Governor Yin Zhongkan jointly launched an army to attack Wang Guobao. My late father, Ding's mother, was at home at that time.
After receiving Wang Gong's message, he resolutely raised an army in order to kill the national traitors. In the process of raising the army, because his men were both good and bad, some took the opportunity to retaliate against their neighbors who usually had grudges, and many blood feuds were made."
"As a result, the King of Kuaiji abandoned his soldiers to protect his carriage. When he saw that the rebel army was strong, he simply killed Wang Guobao first in order to get the late emperor to issue an edict to disband the rebel army and retreat. However, my late father had deep grudges because of fighting all the way. If he disbanded the army, he would definitely
He would be retaliated against and his whole family could not be protected, so he could only continue to lead his troops to Beijing, hoping to meet the late emperor and ask him to personally issue an edict to pardon the killings and injuries caused when he raised his troops, and to give the officers and men some official positions to appease them."
Zhang Shao curled up his lips and said: "This is the consequence of raising an army that is difficult to control. Fighting and killing is fun for a while, but it will be troublesome when the troops are disbanded and returned to the field. So leading troops is a skill, and restraining military discipline is even more difficult. You were back then
They burned, killed, and plundered all the way to Wu, and even my family was harmed."
Wang Hua's face turned slightly red: "When we raised the army, we only wanted to recruit warriors who could fight, but we didn't care about so much. Some of them were the fierce soldiers who had become red-eyed during the Northern Expedition. They were used to being wild.
, as soon as there is an opportunity to fight, he will join immediately. When it comes to harming the people, Liu Laozhi's troops who later came to attack us were even worse than us, so why don't you mention this?"
Wang Hong said calmly: "Brother Ziling, don't be angry. When Liu Lao came to reorganize Beifu later, most of his men were stragglers like this. They relied on plunder as a way to maintain morale and combat effectiveness. This is also undesirable. However,
In troubled times, if you raise an army by yourself, you will have this kind of trouble, and you will also be retaliated by the family members of those who were attacked when you raised the army. After all, if the army is dispersed, if you do not get promoted, but after you return home, you will not
Without the protection of the army, it will be troublesome."
Zhang Shao said seriously: "But it would be different if a clan like King Kuaiji raised troops. He has been in the fiefdom for a long time. With the Jin system, when the country is in trouble, these clan princes are obliged to recruit troops in the fiefdom to fight against the national disaster.
, even after becoming King Qin, he disbanded most of the army, but he could still retain the troops that he could retain as a prince and a guard, a few thousand soldiers and horses, enough to ensure that no one would dare to trouble him later."
Wang Hua nodded: "Brother Maozong is right. If other noble clans or aristocratic families recruit soldiers, if they recruit too many people, they will be said to be disobedient. If they recruit too few people, they will not even be able to defeat the bandits. It will always be troublesome."
However, the clan prince does not have this problem, but on the other hand, if someone wants to recruit soldiers in the name of the clan prince, especially if the clan is only a seven-year-old child, then it is worth pondering, so I say, this should be
A series of conspiracies, and Marshal Liu should have seen through this conspiracy, so he did not give him a chance and announced that Sima Xiuxi was a fake, directly blocking the road to the identity of the prince and grandson of Kuaiji."
At this point, he curled up his lips: "But I don't understand why Marshal Liu doesn't follow the clues and find out the person behind this? Logically speaking, this is a good opportunity to wipe out all the conspiracy groups in the city."
Zhang Shao's eyes flashed coldly, he looked in the direction of Xie Hun, and said: "I'm afraid, Marshal Liu has made an evaluation and feels that these matters should not involve too much or too wide, especially when defending the city now, we need to
The military is united and does not cause unnecessary trouble due to the investigation."
Wang Hong saw Zhang Shao's gaze and his face changed slightly: "Maozong, you mean, thank you..."
Zhang Shao immediately said: "Okay, don't say any more, that's it."
There was a silence between the three of them. After a long time, Wang Hua sighed: "That's it. Those two are the leading figures of the noble family. They also took the lead in saying that they wanted to move to Wu. I'm afraid they have already been saved."
With this kind of thinking, since Marshal Liu has come back and said that he will defend the city and not evacuate, then the last proposal will not make sense. The next best thing is to get some prince and grandson from Kuaiji to come out, and then in the name of accompanying the prince and grandson back to his hometown to recruit troops.
If you leave, it will be a matter of course."
Wang Hong nodded: "Zi Ling's analysis makes sense. Xie Hun is not the head of the Xie family, but he has been liaising with the branch families within the Xie family to win over other distant relatives, hoping to one day replace Mrs. Xie.
Everyone knows the status of He Wang, Queen and his daughter. However, he does not have the title of head of the Xie family. Even if he returns to the ancestral home of Shining in Kuaiji, he will not be able to mobilize all the power of the Xie family for his own sake.
Only by taking the king and grandson of Kuaiji as the banner can this be justified. Once he can call on all the powerful families in the eight counties of Wudi to send troops to serve the king, he can then lead troops to Beijing and retreat to protect the territory and stand on his own feet. This will really become
Director Wang is second."
Zhang Shao laughed: "It's not very good for you two to address your great-grandfather and the founding prime minister by his name like this."
Wang Hong laughed: "I don't think great-grandfather will care about it. It's just to facilitate the discussion. Maozong, do you think that Marshal Liu doesn't want to involve too much in the matter now. If Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi are taken down now, other aristocratic families will
Is it difficult to defend the city because people are in danger?"
Zhang Shao sighed: "My opinion is that this king and grandson of Kuaiji is probably real, but it is also true that Xie and Xi want to support him and realize their independence in Wu. So Marshal Liu made a decisive decision and killed him.
The men who brought Sima Xiuxi to recognize their ancestors did not kill Sima Xiuxi, so we announced that this incident is over."
Wang Hua clapped his hands violently: "Yes, why did we ignore this? It is said that the person who deserves to be killed the most is the fake Wangsun himself. Even if he is only seven years old, pretending to be a clan member is a crime of treason, and he must be punished regardless of his age.
To kill him. To save his life is to prove that he is genuine. Then why does Marshal Liu keep him? Isn’t this causing trouble for himself? "
Wang Hong smiled slightly: "Because our Marshal Liu is still not the kind of cold-blooded emperor and general who only cares about politics. Deep in his heart, he still has the original heart of benevolence and righteousness. In any case, the child is only seven years old. He
He is innocent, but those who used him as a tool are guilty. I think this is the reason why people like Liu Changshi are willing to serve him wholeheartedly."
