Royal Road - Chapter 241

[Chapter 240 | City]

In the early morning, he was busy running around, performing Nuo rituals and dharma gatherings, and drinking with his subordinate officials until it was dark. Liang Feng was already tired and sore.

However, after sitting down in the study, he simply wiped his face with a hot handkerchief, and he said to Zhang Bin, “Wang Jun really started a war with Tuoba’s team?”

“It’s true!” Zhang Bin sat down opposite Liang Feng, With a grim expression, “Duan’s Xianbei sent 20,000 soldiers to attack Tuoba. It looks like they want to take Daijun back.”

This was surprisingly fast.

Asking the imperial court for orders to seal Daijun to the Tuoba Department was originally to provoke the relationship between the two.

But who would have guessed that Wang Jun couldn’t rub the sand in his eyes so much that he couldn’t even wait for the spring to start the army in the winter!

Xianbei people are all nomads, and the loss of war in winter is not small.

However, with the father-in-law Wang Jun behind the Duan Clan, the Tuoba Clan was not treated so well.

One is not good, the army is defeated and withdraws from Dai County, and things are probably worse.

“Can Tuoba Yilu stand it?” Liang Feng asked.

“Since I dare to enter Dai County, I am afraid that I have two confidences. The Tuoba Department’s supporting and defending is not a simple person. It is also tempting to say that this move is tempting. It’s just that no matter whether this battle is won or lost, next year, you and I will meet. The two states, I am afraid there will be some wars.”

This is also the biggest hidden danger caused by Wang Jun’s rush to send troops.

If Wang Jun wins, he will definitely take heavy troops to teach the prefect of Bingzhou who has acted recklessly.

And if he loses, he will see Liang Feng as a thorn in the flesh and will never die.

You and Bingzhou have completely torn their faces this time, and they have to fight a few battles.

Liang Feng said solemnly: “Even if there is no Tuoba Department, Youzhou is still a confidant. Fight as long as you can. As long as it can be delayed until next spring, I will not be afraid of anyone.”

He had already broken down with Wang Jun. Han Shi San made him feel uneasy, even if Wang Jun didn’t do it, he would have to do it sooner or later.

The only problem is timing.

This year, Bingzhou has fought too many battles. Although it has brought a relatively stable environment, the loss is not small.

The food and forage given by Luoyang was only a drop in the bucket, and they still had to reclaim wasteland and accommodate refugees.

After the harvest next summer, food production and human resources have been secured before we are qualified to talk about war.

Zhang Bin nodded: “Bingzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is some room for change. It’s just that the lord should pay attention to Wen Neishi.”

Wen Neishi was referring to Wen Qiao.

Now Wen Qiao is in charge of Leping Country, and he is also the confidant who handles this gateway for Liang Feng.

However, when Zhang Bin mentioned Wen Qiao at this moment, his intention was obviously not only in Leping.

Rather, it refers to Wen’s, the high gate of Bingzhou.

“Haven’t the Wen family already left Bingzhou?” Liang Feng frowned.

In Wangqi County, Wen’s County, when Sima Teng fled before, he had already been gone.

Wen Qiao belongs to the outliers left behind.

“Because of this, Wen Neishi should be reused! Wen Tai is really talented and has the heart to rule the world. If the lord shows his favor to the Wen family, he will be happy to see it if he wants to come to Bingzhou Gaomen.”

This involves Gaomen politics .

.

Guo Tong was the Shuzong of the Guo clan, and Wen Qiao was the direct descendant of the Wen clan.

Even if Wen’s family is not as good as Guo’s, Wen Qiao is a few points better than Guo Tong.

In addition, the two families are still related by marriage. With Wen Qiao as a guise, Guo Tong would never dare to do too much.

And several major Bingzhou high gates are used by the governor’s house, and in the eyes of others, they also have a certain binding force on the small and medium-sized nobles under them.

This is a typical check and balance problem, which can save Liang Feng a lot of trouble.

“As for Guo Tong…” Zhang Bin smiled slightly, “The lord handled it very well before. This man is too ambitious and can’t be reused. It just so happened that he couldn’t see the situation clearly, so he chose the position of middle officer. Over there, we must beware of him. However, Guo’s power is big, and we have to find some useful people in other sects.”

Zhang Bin said these words.

When Liang Feng agreed to Guo Tong’s request, why didn’t he have such thoughts?

Sima Yue’s jealousy towards him will only be more or less, so how can he reuse the central | official that he recommended?

In addition, Guo Tong had already made an agreement with him, and he would not interfere with the arrangements of people in Bingzhou. In the eyes of others, it was a clear proof that Guo’s Shuzong voted for the governor of Bingzhou.

One to two, not to mention Guo Tong, I am afraid that even Guo’s Shuzong will be rejected by Sima Yue.

It was just the last sentence that made Liang Feng hesitate a bit: “After all, Zong Shu is also a high-ranking sect, and if he just succumbs, I am afraid it will affect the pattern of Bingzhou…”

Just listening to this sentence, Zhang Bin guessed what Liang Feng was thinking, and immediately said: “Master, don’t be impatient! Wei Wu killed many nobles, but he still couldn’t make him obey. On the contrary, he suffered several rebellions in his life, and even Yanzhou University The camp was once seized. When it came to Wei Wen, it was not by following Chen Changwen’s words and setting up a law of nine-rank officials to win over the hearts of scholars all over the world. The lord wants to use cold scholars, but he must not be in a hurry, let alone superficial. Let the nobles be vigilant, and when they leave Bingzhou, it is bound to be difficult to move!” The

situation in Bingzhou is different, Gaomen has almost escaped, and the government orders can pass without hindrance.

But other states and counties are still dominated by the gentry.

They control a large land population, have countless fortresses, and have a complex network of in-laws.

Like a hornet’s nest, it explodes when you poke it.

And now there are countless hegemons who can “invest”, which is almost the same as that of the Three Kingdoms.

Once you lose the support of the local nobility, it will be as hard as heaven if you want to have sex!

Why doesn’t Liang Feng understand this truth?

It’s just that all the high gates he saw made him annoyed.

If you can’t get it from the place, what’s the difference from another Wei and Jin Dynasty?

“If the academy is implemented, what about the establishment of a system?” Liang Feng lowered his voice and asked what he was thinking.

“When the world is settled, then make plans!” Zhang Bin replied simply.

What attracted him to come to work was the outstanding idea of “system system”.

Such a mind is by no means comparable to Sima.

But some things can’t be done with haste.

Seeing what Liang Feng wanted to say, Zhang Bin sighed lightly: “The lord wants to use the sages, but the sages may not have no selfishness. Even if these high sects are abandoned, wouldn’t the squat family not take the lead? The so-called check and balance, the key is not strength, but control.”

Zhang Bin’s words made it impossible to refute.

No matter how bad the history of Liang Feng is, he knows the disaster of the vassal towns in the Tang Dynasty and the civil service group of the Song and Ming Dynasty.

What if there is no high gate?

Feudal rule is not, in the final analysis, a struggle between monarchy and prime minister.

Not to mention the ancient times, that is, the modern era. In the military and political circles, are there no such clan factions?

He was born in a red clan, and he couldn’t be more clear about the circles in it.

It’s just that back then, he couldn’t get used to this, he gave up all the favorable conditions, and went to become a criminal policeman.

And now, he is being pushed to an even more terrifying position than he was back then.

Alone.

The fatigue of the day seems to be pressing on his shoulders at this moment.

Liang Feng nodded slowly: “I will carefully consider what Zhang Canjun said.”

Glancing at the face of the person in the seat, Zhang Bin knew that the other party listened to his words.

Being good at remonstrance is also a necessary condition for Mingzhu.

It’s just that his master is still not cruel enough.

But these are not in a hurry. When things come to an end, you will naturally know how to choose.

After giving a salute, Zhang Bin got up and retire.

Seeing the figure disappearing outside the door, Liang Feng moved his lips, but he didn’t say a word.

Who could he tell these things?

“Prepare some hot soup, I want to take a bath.”

At least this winter night’s warm soup can make people forget some worries.

※

“My lord, Wu Wuchen has already sent troops, and will confront the Tuoba thieves soon. It’s just that there is news from Yizhou that Jisang’s troops are attacking Yecheng…”

He didn’t bring good news.

The imperial court’s order to reward Daijun to Tuoba’s department really angered his father.

The army that originally stayed in Yizhou to help Sima Teng in defense had all withdrawn.

The troops were pressed on the front line of Dai County, and they wanted to take advantage of the cold winter to defeat the Tuoba Department who dared to offend the territory of Youzhou.

But as a result, Yizhou is empty, and the territory that was finally obtained before must be handed over to others.

There was also Sima Teng’s repeated urging, which was really worrying.

Wang Ying didn’t know what to do, so he could only tell the truth.

Wang Jun said angrily: “Attack Yecheng? Well done! We should let the imperial court see what it would be like without Youzhou soldiers and horses! He Liang Zixi solved the siege of Luoyang, have I been wasting my efforts this year? I don’t even think about whether that idiot of King Dongyan can defend Yizhou! Without Youzhou soldiers and horses, Yizhou was captured by those horse thieves, and still able to defend Luoyang?!”

How could he not be angry.

After fighting in Yizhou for almost a year, who would have expected that there would not be many rewards, and their own territory would be ceded to the Xianbei people!

This is all Liang Zixi’s trick!

Taking advantage of Sima Yue’s absence, use some tricks.

Back then, he shouldn’t have recruited this arrogant guy, but now it’s become a big problem for his confidants!

“This winter, we must deal with the Tuoba Department and retake Dai County! As for Bingzhou, we can’t just let it go!” Wang Jun said bitterly.

Hearing this, Wang Ying was a little hesitant: “But Dai County, after all, it is the imperial court’s reward…”

“The imperial court? What can the Huangkou child say?!” Wang Jun said coldly, “Not to mention. Speaking of Taifu’s thoughts, it’s just that Yizhou is tight, and it’s enough to make the rat generation in Luoyang Palace lose their nerve!”

Wang Jun was really not afraid of this.

He has a lot of soldiers under him, and he can control the Xianbei of the Duan clan.

Not to mention the imperial court, even Sima Yue had to respect him a bit.

It is also Wang Jun’s selfishness to help the court maintain Yizhou.

If Youzhou wants to plot Luoyang, he must pass through Yizhou, and every time he uses Yizhou, he is attacking the city for himself.

Now Sima Yue is still having a headache about the war in Jingzhou, how can he worry about other things.

When Yizhou is completely occupied, the court will naturally let him also lead Yizhou.

I just didn’t expect that Liang Zixi suddenly inserted a bar horizontally and sealed the Tuoba clan.

This move, no matter how you look at it, is not well-intentioned.

Therefore, Wang Jun did not delay, and immediately launched an army to attack Tuoba.

Choked by his father’s words, Wang Ying hurriedly said: “What your lord said is very true. I will write back to the king of Dongyan to let him know that the court is doing the wrong thing…”

Wang Jun waved his hand: “That’s not necessary. The king of Dongyan is not a capable If you are

accommodating, why should you lie to him? Just say that Youzhou is in danger, let him ask the court for his own life.”

This was also a means of forcing the court to admit his mistake.

After all, Sima Teng is also Sima Yue’s younger brother, does the court dare to leave it alone?

Maybe he was frightened by eating, and the little emperor himself was afraid, and tried every means to take back his life.

If you want to seal the Tuoba Department, wouldn’t you use the territory of Bingzhou to seal the reward?

This trick is too vulgar!

However, this good show made people aware of Liang Zixi’s plans.

This son really holds a grudge against what happened that day… Thinking of this, Wang Jun couldn’t help but nod at his son standing in front of him: “It’s all the one you chose to join the army! It made things so embarrassing!

” It’s strange that the child doesn’t know people well. If he meets Liang Zixi again, the child will never take it lightly again!”

The events of that day made Wang Ying feel ashamed, and almost caused his father to hate him.

It’s just that the kid with the surname Zhang escaped too fast, making it too late for him to do anything.

Because of this, Wang Ying’s hatred and obsession with Liang Zixi also became serious.

Is this not Wang Jun’s idea?

With a sneer, he said, “Let them make a fuss first. Let’s wait until the world is in chaos, and see who will die!

”

After the imperial court has lost all that remains of the family, the world will not be able to change the owner.

Yizhou is just a springboard for going south, and he is bound to win the homeland of Bingzhou!
