Chapter 193: Liu Kun's Predicament
()ps: Many thanks to Feng Yuyi for the two monthly passes, thank you~~~~
After Nandun Wangzong had spoken to this extent, although everyone had reached a consensus on whether Murong Xin had been summoned by Sima Shao, they still remained at the level of speculation. But at this time, there was no longer any doubt.
The four characters "Ling the wolf into the house" jumped up in the sea of consciousness at the same time. They couldn't help but look at each other and shook their heads secretly.
And Liu Kun had already made a solemn salute: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness, and I also ask King Nanton to tell your Majesty that I am willing to do my best to defend Jiankang for your Majesty, and will never let the Sima family fall into the hands of treacherous ministers and traitors!
" . .
"Huh?" Everyone was unconsciously suspicious. What did Liu Kun mean? Is he really so loyal? You know, if you talk so confidently and do anything rebellious in the future, it will be a slap in your face.
will be heaven
Scorned by his subordinates! This is different from Yunfeng. Yunfeng has already made a clear plan. Once the north is pacified, he will immediately attack the Sima family. He looks like a real villain. It is really impossible to blame him because he never behaves like a villain.
Loyal ministers pride themselves on themselves.
Although Liu Kun expressed his true feelings, no one believed that Liu Kun was really so loyal. They all believed in the depth of Director Wang's analysis. Is there any second move that he had not used? Everyone was communicating their inner guesses with their eyes.
Nandun Wang Zong was also startled. He was a little confused about Liu Kun's intention to go to the capital. When he had a secret talk with him in Guangling last time, he had already expressed his ambition to become the master of the world. How could he become the master of the world now?
Another argument?
He understood the importance of a promise of a thousand pieces of gold, but at the same time he did not believe that Liu Kun came here to support the Sima family. Could it be that he planned to kill all the clan members with a black hand? Inexplicably, this idea popped up. Nanton Wang Zong suddenly faced
His eyes were pale, his hands and feet were trembling, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead...
'Impossible, Liu Kun still wants to persuade His Majesty to abdicate through Gu Lai!' Prince Nanton immediately found an excuse to comfort himself, and he felt a little relieved, so he straightened his back slightly, braced himself and said: "
Gu Hui told Your Majesty that Your Majesty should be very pleased with Yue Shi's loyalty, and Your Majesty also asked Gu to send a verbal message, ordering the general to set up camp on the bank of Baidang Lake!"
He almost shouted out. Everyone couldn't help but shout out in their hearts, including the important officials in the court who were leaning towards Yunfeng! Where is Baidang Lake? It is the territory of King Qin. Huang Xuer asked Liu Kun to
Going to camp in King Qin's territory, isn't it clear that he wants to provoke a conflict between the two sides?
If Yunfeng returns from the sea but turns a blind eye, he will be slapped in the face by Liu Kun. If Liu Kun dares not go, it means that he is afraid of King Qin, and his reputation will be greatly lost. For a moment, everyone praised Sima Shao in their hearts.
What a good plan. At the same time, he looked at Liu Kun with a strange look. This was a conspiracy to see if he dared to accept the move.
However, Liu Kun suddenly became angry out of thin air. He was actually unwilling to quarrel with Yunfeng before his footing was stable. After all, his current military strength was limited and he only brought 40,000 people to the capital. However, Yunfeng's military strength was beyond everyone's guess.
They were all 40,000. Without absolute certainty, he could only hold on to Stone City in the name of assisting the government. On the other hand, he had no navy in his hands.
I didn’t think so in the north, but when I came to Jiankang, I immediately realized the importance of controlling the river. Without naval escort, I was frightened even crossing the river, so I sneaked at night instead of crossing the river openly during the day. Liu Kun’s top priority
, the first is to recruit all the forces that can be attracted, especially the navy army, and the second is to deal with the Zhengyiyi, whose threat is no less than that of Yunfeng.
But at this time, Sima Shao made a dictation and severely defeated his entire army. Whether this dictation was true or false did not need to be investigated. Whether it was binding or not was not the key. The key was, did he dare to provoke Yunfeng?
Liu Kun immediately suppressed his anger, shook his head in confusion and said: "Oh? Your Majesty, are you joking? Baidang Lake is the private property of King Qin, how can I dominate other people's property? Has Your Majesty forgotten it?" At the same time, there was a trace of extremely secretiveness in his eyes. The murderous intention pierced into the eyes of Nanton Wangzong!
"This" Nandun Wangzong felt a chill in his heart, and the old brows that cooperated immediately frowned, wondering: "This is how your majesty delivers the decree, otherwise, brother Yue Shi, please wait a moment, and then return to the palace to share with your majesty." explain?"
"Hey~~" Huan Yi waved his hand: "Why do you need to make an extra trip, Your Majesty? Your Majesty's golden words, how can your decree be changed lightly? What's more, the King of Qin has already released the water of Baidang Lake and its surroundings, allowing the people to come and go freely. It is called private property, but it is actually the same as an ownerless land. There is no need to worry about climbing over rocks. Baidang Lake is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating. Back then, the King of Qin used this place to kill Shen Chong first and then capture Liu Xia. It’s a great place to set up camp.”
Yu Liang also advised: "Liu Shijun is worried that King Qin will be angry when he finds out? Then we can help explain something to King Qin. I think it won't be a difficult thing."
Liu Kun glanced at the crowd quietly, and everyone looked at him with an expression as if he was watching a good show. He suddenly realized a serious problem, that is, his foundation in Jiankang was shallow, not even as good as the King of Qin. After all, Yunfeng had been operating in Jiankang for a while, using both hard and soft tactics, and the results were quite impressive. At least on the surface, these people in front of him were on the same front as the King of Qin.
Compared with Jiankang, he, Liu Kun, was a complete outsider. He belonged to the lineage of King Sima Lun of Zhao. He later served as an official of King Ji of Qi and King Yue of Donghai. Finally, he was appointed governor of Bingzhou by King Yue of Donghai and became general Zhenwei. He led the guard of the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, but it was obvious that he was not the core staff of Wang Yue of Donghai, otherwise he would not have been "sent" to the place of death in Bingzhou.
However, almost all of the people in front of me had served in the Yue Army Mansion of King Donghai. After King Yue of Donghai died of illness, they all switched to serving Sima Rui as their leader. After so many years of management, they had formed an intricate interest group, which made Liu Kun's thin In their eyes, fame was nothing at all. What made him even more angry was that Yunfeng had taken advantage of Concubine Pei and had invisibly developed a relationship with the former Donghai King Yue Li.
'What would happen if, as a Celestial Master Taoist master, he called on the Celestial Master Taoists to support him?' This idea only flashed across his mind, but Liu Kun quickly rejected it. Due to the sudden rise of Zhengyi Dao, the Celestial Master Taoists who originally had a solid foundation had a large number of Among the remaining people, except for a few people with vested interests such as various levels of sacrificial wine, there are many people who are waiting and watching. Liu Kun understands that only by completely defeating Zheng Yiyi can he use Tianshi Dao to help him Serve.
Suddenly, Liu Kun had a strange feeling. Yunfeng seemed to have known about his existence for a long time, and all the secret tricks he deployed were all targeted. As soon as he stepped into Jiankang, he was surrounded by disadvantages. In a dilemma.
"Brother Yue Shi, you just kept saying you were loyal to His Majesty, but you won't even disobey His Majesty's will?"
Liu Kun was secretly thinking about it when Director Wang's urging voice rang in his ears. This made him realize that Baidang Lake had to go whether it was going or not. He was forced onto the cliff and at the same time, the shogunate was strangled. The mountain soldiers' plan to suppress Xi Jian and Wu was also aborted, unless they were forced to do so by force!
However, the use of force is obviously not the best policy. Political matters are better resolved by political means, otherwise it will trigger a unified resistance from the people of Jiangdong.
