This matter involves a lot. Except for people like Feng Liao or Gao Shao, Tian Cheng, and Lin Haizheng who came to Yuzhou in person, it would be difficult for anyone else to win over Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang.
Of course, even though Feng Liao went through all the hard work and crossed the Wuling Mountains to Yuzhou and successfully met with the Marquis of Changxiang Wang Yong, he still wanted to persuade the Marquis of Changxiang Wang Yong to cooperate with Xuzhou and create an excuse for Xuzhou to openly send troops to miss the state.
, and it is by no means easy.
Because of his mother's special background, Prince Wang Yong of Changxiang had not been favored by the Lord of Shu Wang Jian since he was a child. He lived cautiously in these years, pretending to be obsessed with poetry and Buddhism to avoid the suspicion of the faction of Prince Qingjianghou of Shu.
Such a character, at best, is cautious by nature, but at worst, he is indecisive and suspicious by nature.
Although Feng Liao thought about a lot of rhetoric, he also knew in his heart that it would be too difficult for Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, to make up his mind and take such a big risk to cooperate with Xuzhou.
He didn't expect that Cao Gan would rush back to Xuzhou from Jinling at this time to bring back Princess Qingyang's opinions on this matter. It can be said that when you feel sleepy, you will be handed a pillow, which really makes people wake up laughing in their dreams.
.
To be honest, Cao Gan was even more suspicious at this time that all this was discussed long ago between the princess and the Marquis of Qianyang. What happened to the princess when the Marquis of Qianyang was on his way to the Chu Kingdom?
All this was such a coincidence. If it weren't for the difficulty in matching the time, he would have doubted whether the child in the princess's belly was the son of Emperor Chu Yang Yuanpu!
However, Cao Gan went over the events he experienced in Jinling in his mind and thought that this might be a coincidence.
If the Marquis of Qianyang and the princess had secretly planned things long ago, things would be much simpler. The princess does not need to ask Yun Puzi to go through all the trouble of passing the message, and the Marquis of Qianyang does not need to ask someone like Feng Liao to take such a big risk to sneak into Yuzhou.
.
Cao Gan was still kneeling on the ground in shock. At this time, Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong helped him up with a smile: "Get up and talk!"
Although Cao Gan was hesitant about what he said just now, and was more worried and indecisive than him, he was really thinking for him. Such a person can be used with peace of mind and comfort, and there is no need to worry about him harboring other thoughts or worrying about him.
There will be trouble in the office.
Cao Gan stood up to greet Feng Liao and secretly speculated that what the Marquis just said was probably what Feng Liao said to the Marquis, saying: "I didn't expect to see Lord Feng in Yuzhou. Everything is well with the Marquis of Qianyang."
good?"
"Everything is well with my family. When Feng Liao set off from Chenzhong, my family specially asked Feng Liao to come to Yuzhou to greet General Cao." Feng Liao said.
"...there is something I don't know whether to ask," Cao Qian carefully thought about the wording and asked, "I was in Jinling and heard that the Marquis of Guizhou Yang was quite jealous of the Emperor of Chu. At this time, the foundation was not solid, why did he act rashly and make plans?
state?"
"There are too many complicated things. We have to start with the death of Shen He, the young prisoner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the transfer of the boss to Jing Zhaoyin before we can sort it out one by one. It's no wonder that General Cao has so many scruples." Feng Liao.
With a sigh, Shen He went to Tanzhou to announce the decree and started to talk about the symptoms of poisoning.
Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, was in Tanzhou at that time, so he suspected that Shen He's illness was due to poison, but he didn't know that Han Qian, Yang Yuanpu and others were surrounding Shen He.
There were many plots behind the poisoning of the crane.
From the series of events caused by Shen He's poisoning and Han Daoxun's transfer to Jingzhaoyin to the rebellion in Anning Palace, many of the details were beyond the reach of Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong and Cao Qian, who were thousands of miles away at that time.
Well known.
"The old man wanted to eliminate the scourge of war and resolutely went to death, but in the end he was inseparable from the Queen Mother, Xinchang Hou Li Pu, Zheng Chang and others. They took control of power after arriving in Yueyang, and they did not take away love in such a severe situation, but used
In the name of keeping filial piety, my family was kept in Xuzhou and excluded from Yueyang. At that time, Yueyang was already infiltrated by spies of King Xin. In order to turn the tide, my family had no choice but to act arbitrarily and sneak to Jinling to seize the military power from Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang.
," Feng Liao said, "My lord also knows that seizing military power without authorization has always been a taboo for monarchs and ministers. After reversing the situation in Jinling, I have the idea of retiring after my success. When His Majesty's imperial chariot arrives in Fanchang, my lord will hand over the military power and lead the army.
Wait for us to return to Xuzhou - it's a pity that the trees are still but the wind is not stopping. General Cao must have heard about Shang Wensheng's assassination case when he came to Jinling this time, right?"
"I have indeed heard something, but I only know some superficial information and don't know the details." Cao Qian did not hide that his knowledge was very limited.
This is also normal.
Shu has an agency that specializes in spying on intelligence, but it has nothing to do with Yuzhou.
The limited qualifications that Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong had in Yuzhou were devoted to the war against the Wu Liao people, and he had no ability to re-establish an intelligence system to monitor the movements of Chu's government and the public.
Before Feng Liao came to Yuzhou, Han Qian summoned many people to study the mentality of the Marquis of Changxiang and his direct subordinates, and to elaborate on Feng Liao's words after meeting the Marquis of Changxiang Wang Yong.
This is also where the intelligence system established by Han Qian is different from the traditional one. It pays more attention to the comprehensive analysis of intelligence.
"The assassination case is indeed related to Xuzhou, but the inside story is completely different from the rumors. But when it comes to the inducement, it can also be said to be a negative impact of recruiting slaves into the Chishan Army to fight in the rush to reverse the situation."
Feng Liao had previously told Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong about Shang Zhongjie's murder of the Wei family, the massacre of women and children, Han Donghu's assassination of the Shang family's father and son, and the defection of the Shang family slaves. At this time, he told Cao Gan in detail, saying
,
"The family originally regarded Guangde Mansion as a thorn in their side. After the assassination of Shang Wensheng broke out, they even used it as an excuse to vent their anger. In just two months, the whereabouts of the murderer were not captured anywhere, but Guangde Mansion
More than 200 people have been imprisoned and imprisoned, and Liyang, Xuancheng, and Lishui have taken the opportunity to set up special anti-criminal teams, and they have the momentum to not stop until they force the people to go out and cause chaos. My family has no choice but to think about it.
The state instigates civil unrest in the hope that those who fear that the world will not be in chaos can have clear minds."
"When Marquis Qianyang recruited slaves to join the army in Jinling, he did not consider it right." Cao Zhe couldn't help but interjected.
Feng Liao glanced at Cao Zhe. Of course, it was impossible to argue with him about right or wrong at this time. He just said to Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong and Cao Qian: "There is no perfect strategy in the world. At that time, we can only choose between two evils."
It's light. My lord asked me to come over to see the Marquis and General Cao. He didn't have any perfect plan. He just advised the Marquis to choose the lesser of two evils..."
Changxiang Hou Wang Yong nodded, no matter how severe the problems left by the Guangde Army were,
The rise of the Chishan Army has successfully reversed the situation in Jinling beyond everyone's expectations. This is obvious to all.
Even if the series of consequences were anticipated at the time, recruiting slaves into the army was still an excellent move at the time.
"Why did Emperor Chu condone it?" Cao Gan asked the most critical question.
"My family is open-minded, but every situation we encounter is dangerous. We can only use dangerous strategies to deal with it, which will inevitably leave some bad impressions on the world. Your Majesty allows it, maybe you can kill more birds with one stone."
? Or perhaps it is the case that the princess lives deep in the palace of Dachu, so she feels that Xuzhou is the only one to rely on," Feng Liao said, "My master has no disobedience to Dachu, but as long as he is a human being, he will always be loyal to Dachu.
Protect yourself and leave some escape routes for yourself. The princess said that if she and Yuzhou want to be worry-free, only Xuzhou can rely on them, and everything is mutual. If Xuzhou wants to be worry-free, only the princess and Yuzhou can rely on them.
according to."
"Only Yuzhou can rely on? In the final analysis, Xuzhou still wants to annex Sizhou and border Yuzhou?" Cao Gan stared at Feng Liao's eyes and asked.
"Only on the border, whenever the Marquis and General Cao want to ask Xuzhou for advice, they will not be beyond reach." Feng Liao said.
"Cao Gan, what do you think?" Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, looked at Cao Gan and asked.
"Xuzhou needs Yuzhou to give him an excuse to send troops to Sizhou in a bright and just way without allowing the Chu court to question it?" Cao Gan asked Feng Liao.
"Exactly." Feng Liao nodded in agreement.
"Xuzhou has an excuse to send troops to Sizhou. The Emperor of Chu has no way to control Xuzhou, but he moves to Yuzhou. This puts my prince in a dilemma in Shu. What should we do?" Cao Qian asked.
"At the moment, the Lord of Shu is not determined to completely replace the eldest son, Qingjiang Marquis, with the Marquis, but Feng Liao wants to ask the Marquis, General Cao, what is the eldest son, Qingjiang Marquis, most worried about?" Feng Liao asked.
Without waiting for Cao Gan to think about how to answer this question, Feng Liao directly asked and answered: "The prince Qingjiang Marquis is most worried about the imperial concubine getting favored by our great Chu at this time. In order to ensure that the two countries can have a lasting alliance, His Majesty the Great Chu,
Intended to support the Marquis to ascend to the position of Lord of Shu - so the more eager the Marquis is to conclude an alliance as soon as possible, the more hesitant the Marquis of Qingjiang will be, and the more they will think of making trouble on the border issue of Siyuzhou. By then, the Marquis will be in Qingjiang
Under the pressure of the Marquis, he was forced to create disputes over the border issue between Si and Chongqing, which caused my Majesty the Great Chu to express his anger. I would like to ask the Marquis, who will be held accountable within the Shu Kingdom in the end? Even if it is for the sake of the alliance between the two countries,
The Marquis will be aggrieved and bow his head to admit his mistake, but don't the ruler of Shu and the court officials know that it is the Marquis who has been wronged?"
"If my prediction is correct, most people in Shu do not want to cause trouble. Now the question is, how can we keep Qingjiang Hou entangled in the state boundary matter?" Cao Qian asked.
They hoped that Qingjianghou would step into the trap, but Qingjianghou was not a fool. He knew that most of the Shu court officials did not want to cause trouble, and they would not make trouble on this issue.
"If the Marquis of Qingjiang inadvertently learns that a large-scale salt brine was found underground in Wuliao, is this reason enough to support the Marquis of Qingjiang to continue to be entangled in this matter?" Feng Liao came here with sufficient preparations, so naturally he would use whatever excuses he could on his behalf.
Wang Yong, the Marquis of Xiangxiang, has thought about it. The key lies in whether Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, trusts them or is determined to cooperate with them...
