Fight for hegemony from a desert island

Chapter 231 Wei Yong's Calculation

On May 28, Wang Fugui summoned the Shadow Dragon Guards, successfully deterred the court, subdued all the officials, and formally took over as the regent of the Dazhu Kingdom.

For Wang Fugui, this is a very good beginning, but Wang Fugui himself knows that this is only the beginning, and the next step is the real challenge for him.

Although a long-established family headed by Wang Lang has announced to stand on his side, the forces opposing Wang Fugui still have an absolute advantage.

Although Wang Fugui dismissed Zhou Wen's position on the pretext of Wei Wei Zhou Wen's death, and replaced him with someone from Wang Lang's side, he initially grasped the military power of the imperial army.

But Wang Fugui knew that this military power was only in his hands in name only.

In fact, the backbone of the Forbidden Army are basically descendants of aristocratic families, and most of them are from the line of Wei Yong and Yuan Hong. Even if Wang Fugui got the position of Wei Wei, it is still unknown how many soldiers and horses he can command.

However, this is not the most terrible thing. Even if Wang Fugui has no soldiers, as long as he has Shadow Dragon Guards, he is basically invincible. What happened to Wang Fugui?

Wang Fugui didn't feel the real horror until after he really started the regency.

Although Wang Lang's men and horses are all under Wang Fugui's command, Wang Lang's power itself is not as good as Yuan Hong's. In the hands of Yuan Hong and the others.

And Yuan Hong's group of old foxes are very experienced in obedience and defiance. If they really want to do it, they can do it quite beautifully.

After Wang Fugui became the regency, Yuan Hong and Wei Yong appeared to be perfectly docile without any abnormality, but in reality, they resorted to various methods frequently.

Even if Wang Fugui is going to mobilize troops to suppress the cult, they can make a fool of Wang Fugui.

And it was done so cleverly that Wang Fugui couldn't find any mistakes at all.

Wang Fugui issued an order to mobilize the army to suppress Qingzhou on May 28. After the order was issued above the court, his order wandered around in various departments and encountered various things until the beginning of June. The order is officially out of Luoyang.

Except for Luoyang, it doesn't mean that the order can reach the place it should reach, and these orders will still have to go through many hardships before they can reach the place they should reach.

Obviously, at this moment, Yuan Hong and others don't have any big Zhou interests in their eyes. For them, making Wang Fugui unable to do anything is the first goal.

With the support of this group of potential allies, the cult in Qingzhou has gained valuable development time.

On the side of the cult, after being bullied by Liu Chengyin, they directly raised the banner to formally revolt, and took Qingzhou easily in just a few days.

However, after the cult or the Yellow Turbans took over Qingzhou, I don’t know if Zhang Taiyi learned a lesson. This time they didn’t sweep Dazhou like the Yellow Turban Uprising in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it can even be said that they didn’t intend to expand further.

After taking Qingzhou, they began to clean and rectify the interior of Qingzhou, which meant that they would develop the entire Qingzhou into their [song name] base.

What is even more surprising is that although the Yellow Turbans took the path of peasant uprisings, there seem to be many talented people in the Yellow Turbans who are quite talented in government affairs.

While Wang Fugui and Yuan Hong were entangled in Luoyang, on the Qingzhou side, the Yellow Turbans took only a few days to initially stabilize Qingzhou.

It can be said that the Yellow Turban has already become a climate at this time. If the Dazhou side does not send troops to suppress it, it may not be long before Qingzhou really has the surname Zhang.

Of course Wang Fugui wanted to suppress it, but it was useless just thinking about it.

Although Wang Fugui has the right to mobilize soldiers and horses, and even appoint and dismiss hundreds of officials, whether he has the right is one thing or whether he can exercise it is another.

Unless Wang Fugui ruthlessly kills people like Yuan Hong, otherwise, he can't say that he can't do anything, and if he wants to do something, it will be half the effort.

Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that there is still a game between Wang Fugui and Yuan Hong.

………………

Luoyang, Yuan Mansion, in a study room, Yuan Hong and Wei Yong sat facing each other.

At this moment, both of them looked at each other, you drank a cup of tea and I didn't say a word for a long time.

In the end, Wei Yong's ability to nourish Qi was a bit weak. He raised the teacup in his hand, pondered for a while and finally put it down: "Prime Minister, is it too much for us to do this?"

"Passed? What did we do? We didn't do anything, we just followed the rules." Yuan Hong drank the tea in his cup without even looking at Wei Yong.

Wei Yong was taken aback for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and said bravely.

"Yes, we are indeed following the rules, but after all, this matter is related to a cult rebellion. The entire state has been lost and we are here, isn't it a bit wrong?"

Hearing this, Yuan Hong raised his teacup for a moment, raised his head and looked at Wei Yong with a cool gaze: "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

"How about we deal with the cult first?"

Yuan Hong looked at Wei Yong, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Eliminate the cult? Who will destroy it, Wang Fugui or your son Wei Qing?"

Yuan Hong's words were very meaningful. In fact, Wei Yong came to Yuan Hong suddenly today, and Yuan Hong already knew Wei Yong's thoughts.

The legions under Wang Fugui are all at Yanmen Pass. On the battlefield in Qingzhou, Wang Fugui doesn't have a large army, and there are no outstanding generals who can lead the situation now. After all, Wei Qing is the only one who can barely lead the overall situation. .

Wei Yong came to him at this time, obviously to fight him, to push Wei Qing to the front of the stage, and let Wei Qing suppress the Yellow Turban cult.

Wei Yong was taken aback for a moment, and then admitted honestly with a wry smile: "The Prime Minister really has eyes like a torch, yes, Wei Yong really intends to let the dog suppress the Yellow Turban."

Hearing this, Yuan Hong couldn't deny it, and continued to drink the tea in his cup.

Seeing Yuan Hong's elusive attitude, Wei Yong was a little confused, not sure what Yuan Hong was thinking, so he hesitated and said cautiously: "Prime Minister, look..."

"Master Wei, I have to remind you that the Yellow Turban Cult is not that simple. Although your son is a general, he may not be able to win the Yellow Turban."

Wei Yong was taken aback when he heard the words, then glanced at Yuan Hong, gritted his teeth and said, "Yong still has some confidence in Gouzi."

When Wei Yong said this, Yuan Hong pondered for a long time.

"Then do as you wish!"
