King Langya believed in the destiny calculated by Guo Pu, so as soon as he sent Guo Pu away, he summoned his officials and burst into tears when he mentioned the young emperor of the Central Plains.
Except for a few confidants, no one knew what King Langya was thinking. They thought he was worried that the young emperor would suffer hardship at the hands of Zhao Hanzhang. Thinking that the new emperor was only ten years old, it was indeed worthy of tears, so everyone cried together.
After crying, someone suggested that King Langya go to the Central Plains. He is a member of the clan and is very old. At this time, he should be by the new emperor's side and keep an eye on Zhao Hanzhang. If Zhao Hanzhang is not good to the young emperor, he can also make decisions for the young emperor.
King Langya: ...I thank you, but I don’t want to die.
So he wept and remained silent.
So someone proposed to bring the young emperor over, and the reason was quite legitimate. "There are many disasters in the north, so it is better to move the capital to Ye. The new emperor is young now and needs time to grow up. Jiangdong is stable, which is suitable for the new emperor."
King Langya raised his eyes with tears in his eyes.
This was a joke, so the official who made the suggestion became even more insistent, trumpeting the benefits and necessity of moving the capital to Ye.
King Langya listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
Wang Dun and Director Wang were sitting on one side. Director Wang was silent throughout the whole process, with his eyes lowered and silent, while Wang Dun had a serious look on his face, but if you looked closely, you could see that there was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth that he was not aware of.
Within two days, the news of Guo Pu's escape came. Although King Langya was a little uneasy, he still did not stop his actions.
Wealth was sought in danger. He had already offended Zhao Hanzhang, but now he was more offended. If he didn't take advantage of her being restrained by foreign enemies and wait until she defeated the Huns and freed up her hands to deal with him, would he still have a chance to survive?
Therefore, auspicious signs and omens began to appear in various places in Jiangdong and Jiangnan.
First, a stone monkey appeared in the Huaihe River due to drought, and wrote a letter: Ziwei Xingjun has moved away, the world is suffering from drought, and destiny is mine!
Then the farmers of Linhuai Kingdom dug out a monkey-like Tai Sui from the ground. There seemed to be a golden light shining on it. The farmers did not dare to do it themselves. After digging, they immediately handed it over to the county government, and the county government presented it to King Langya;
Finally, someone captured a white monkey in Yunmengze. It was white as snow and looked like a holy object. I heard that it could speak human words. According to what it said, it came from heaven to earth to assist the Holy Lord.
The businessman who unexpectedly got the white monkey felt that it was too sacred and did not dare to keep it for himself, so he also dedicated it to King Langya.
When Wang Siniang heard about it, she was very angry, "You bullshit white monkey, bullshit businessman, that Yunmengze is my territory, King Langya's auspiciousness came to my Jingzhou? Even if it is auspicious, it is auspicious me, auspicious Hanzhang
, have anything to do with him?"
Wang Xuan, who had escaped from the battlefield and came back to support Wang Siniang, heard her swearing and couldn't help but said: "You should be more polite."
But he just said one thing, and then said: "There are so many strange signs suddenly, King Langya may have some thoughts that he shouldn't have, so we have to be careful."
Wang Xuandao: "Write a letter to remind the envoy that if King Langya really wants to seize power, Jingzhou will be the first to bear the brunt. Jingzhou is the gateway to Jiangdong. I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle here."
When Wang Yifeng heard this, his face became serious and he decided to start preparing for war today. Zhao Hanzhang was now restrained by the Huns, and Jingzhou had to protect itself first.
Just when Jiangdong was engaged in feudal superstition, Zhao Hanzhang had already ordered all the troops to recover Yanzhou, all the lost land in Sizhou, and most of Jizhou and Bingzhou were also recovered.
Zhao Jiajun and Shi Jun cooperated to force the Huns to retreat. Some of their troops had already retreated to Youzhou. Wang Jun, who had been poaching Liu Kun conscientiously, found out that the Huns were driven into Youzhou by Zhao Hanzhang. His face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly came back to ask for help.
Stop the Huns.
The house leaked and it rained all night, so Zu Ti led his troops to Qingzhou and took over Qingzhou directly with the imperial edict and official seal given by Zhao Hanzhang.
Wang Jun was named the governor of Qingzhou, which was connected with Youzhou.
The Xiongnu launched a massive attack, and Qingzhou was also affected because it was adjacent to Yanzhou, and more than a dozen cities were occupied.
During this period, the Huns were fiercely motivated to fight, and the Jin Emperor and many ministers of the imperial court were captured. Wang Jun turned a blind eye to Zhao Hanzhang's order to reinforce King Qin, and deliberately avoided the Xiongnu forces to seize Liu Kun's territory in Jizhou.
Who doesn't know what his plans were?
He just wanted to hurt both Zhao Hanzhang and the Huns, so he quietly expanded his territory, and when they were all over, he would finally reap the benefits.
But how could he have expected that Zhao Hanzhang would be able to attack Pingyang City, kill Liu Yuan (Zhao Hanzhang: I didn't), and conquer Shi Le. The Huns fought among themselves and changed two emperors one after another, resulting in unfavorable battlefield conditions and repeated defeats.
Logically speaking, it was best for them to retreat to Bingzhou, and then retreat from Bingzhou to the outside of the pass. In the end, they actually retreated to Youzhou.
As soon as the Xiongnu entered Youzhou, Bei Gongchun stuck in the opening, accidentally cutting off the connection between Youzhou and Qingzhou. Zu Ti took advantage of this to station in Qingzhou.
He took back the dozen or so cities occupied by the Huns. In this battle, he used a lot of interspersed tactics to prevent the Huns from looking at each other, and even the information could not be transmitted smoothly. In such a crisis-ridden situation, their fighting spirit was infinitely compressed and increased.
The Xiongnu were not good at defending the city. In this battle, they fought vigorously and took back the territory without much hindrance.
The rest are Youzhou's soldiers and horses.
Wang Jun was not very good to his men. Their army was left in Qingzhou with almost no support from Youzhou.
Wang Jun would only point them at a distance and ask them to defend Qingzhou, or ask them to collect taxes and send them to Youzhou. So when they saw the imperial edict and official seal in Zu Ti's hand, they almost didn't even scratch their heads, and just
Kneel down and recognize Zu Ti as the new governor of Qingzhou.
Zu Ti followed Zhao Hanzhang's order, gathered these people into the army, reorganized them, and counted many veterans and wounded soldiers.
When Zhao Hanzhang heard about it, he immediately issued an order asking Zu Ti to put all the veterans and wounded soldiers in good condition.
For this reason, Zhao Hanzhang personally wrote a letter to these veterans and wounded soldiers. They were illiterate, so he asked the soldiers in the army to read it to them.
"...You have been in the army for as little as twenty or as many as thirty years. When you left home, you were still a lively young man, but now your hair is frosty white. I know that you miss your hometown and your relatives, and I also want to release you.
, However, Zhao is currently short of money and cannot afford the travel expenses and settlement expenses for you to return home, so I can only feel sorry for you for the time being."
Joining the army, he turned a page and continued to shout loudly: "Now we can only spare you, and everyone will be divided into fields nearby. All veterans will be exempted from three years of hard labor. The disabled and veterans will have priority to enter the work force."
I will work in the workshop. When I, Zhao, become rich in the future, as long as you still want to return home, I will definitely raise travel expenses to send you back to reunite with your family!"
Joining the army rolled up the letter paper and said loudly: "You have all heard what the envoy said. From today on, all those who have been in the army for twenty years or are over forty years old, veterans who want to be good, or those who are missing arms and legs
All wounded soldiers can come and sign up to be discharged. Every team and department must do statistical work, and every qualified soldier must be asked, "Have you heard this?"
