[Comprehensive] Number of Merry

(One)

The level of Wang Meng's separation strategy is so impressive that Wang Lang can't help but think of it. During the struggle between Chu and Han, Chen Ping designed to separate Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng's monarchs and ministers. story to come.

Facts once again proved a truth-the more life and death are at the critical moment, the more people are busy fighting for power and self-destruction of the Great Wall.On the one hand, Wang Lang rewarded Wang Meng for formulating and implementing the strategy, and on the other hand, he took it as a warning in his heart, reminding himself not to make such a mistake.

However, the most urgent task is to meet Xie Ai who had to surrender because of the surrender of the lord Zhang Chonghua.

"General Xie, do you have a sign?"

In Wuxing City, Wang Lang, who was introduced by Xie Ai and inspected the defenses in various places in the city, asked questions as he walked.She herself led a surprise army to raid Liang Wang Zhang Chonghua, but the main force was trapped by Xie Ai for a long time, until she unexpectedly drove straight into the enemy's rear and captured Liang Wang Zhang Chonghua, and Xie Ai had no choice but to surrender here. Very strategic.

Xie Ai, who still wears a white-crown Confucian uniform, has a handsome appearance, and his demeanor has both the elegance of a famous scholar in Zhengshi and the elegance of Han and Wei Confucian scholars:

"The lower officials have never taken the words."

Wang Lang had sent someone to inquire about Xie Ai's life earlier, he thought he had joined the army, and no one around him called him Biaozi, but he didn't expect that he didn't take it, so he couldn't help being stunned.Looking back at Xie Ai's expression, she was upright and natural, and seemed to have no taboos. She thought about it, and her face was clear:

"'Gentlemen have lived for thousands of years, Fulu loves you.' Xie Jun was granted the title of Marquis of Fulu County. Could it be because of this?"

Because Xie Ai claimed to be a subordinate, she no longer referred to Xie Ai as General Xie, but changed to Mr. Xie.Anyway, the general and the prefect are both official positions conferred by Zhang Chonghua. Now that they are recruited by her, the official positions must be changed.

As for the sentence "a gentleman who lives for thousands of years, Fu Lu loves him", it comes from "Mandarin Duck" in "The Book of Songs Xiaoya".When Wang Lang was four or five years old, he was able to recite the entire "Book of Songs" backwards, and the lower aristocratic families almost met this requirement. In Liangzhou, few people can think of the connection between the two so casually.

In fact, after Yongjia's south crossing, most of the famous scholars and scholars were in Jiangzuo, and they were rare even in the Central Plains.Therefore, Xie Ai, a person who is both civil and military and has a sense of style, is in Liangzhou. It is difficult to find a few people to talk to, let alone discuss any important military affairs, economics and strategy.Now meeting Wang Lang who was born in Jiang Zuo's high school and destroyed Pinglong in Shu, even if he put aside everything and just had a simple conversation, it was an unprecedented joy in his life:

"General Simin. The name Xie Ai comes from this sentence."

The son was named after "Mandarin Duck" to congratulate the newlyweds. I think the couple was very affectionate at that time. It happened that the prefecture of Jiuquan County was called Fulu County.

Smiling in Wang Lang's black eyes, he stopped and looked at Xie Ai: "I thought it was the 'or Su or Ai' AI, but it wasn't."

"Or Su or Ai" comes from "Xiao Min", which has always been regarded as a political satire. Facing the abyss, it is like walking on thin ice."

Xie Ai originally thought that she used this sentence to point out that Zhang Chonghua was immoral, but after thinking about it, it seemed appropriate to put it on the Jiangzuo regime and her.Taking a quick glance at this young and powerful chariot general from the corner of his eye, he made a judgment:

"Thank you, General, for the word."

When did she present the word?

Wang Lang raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.Because the Wang family is good at calligraphy, her Xing and Lishu are well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. The first reaction was that I promised to give him a piece of calligraphy, and then I realized that the words in Xie Ai's mouth were mostly Biaozi. word.

Looking at a very calm and calm person, his mind is so alert.

Wang Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "Zi Su."

Ai has multiple meanings, and she takes the meaning of "governance and stability" in the sentence "or Su or Ai".Zisu is used for table characters, which is an extended wording method with similar meaning, that is, the word and name are in the same sentence.For example, Cao Cao's word Mengde comes from the chapter "Xunzi Encouraging Learning", "Life is as it is, death is as it is, and the husband is called virtue"; Zhao Yun's word as Zilong comes from "Zhou Yi" "The cloud follows the tiger, the wind From the Dragon".

In addition, the "Meng" in Cao Cao's Biaozi indicates the ranking, which means that he is the eldest son in the family; the "Zi" in Zhao Yun's Biaozi is a good name or respectful title for men. Cao Cao, who has a high literary quality, took the Biaozi for his 25 sons They all used "zi", and the most famous ones are Cao Pi's character Zihuan and Cao Zhi's character Zijian.Wang Lang, who was extremely poor in literature, followed suit without hesitation, and added a "zi" before "Su", making it "Zi Su".

Looking sideways at Xie Ai's expression, Wang Lang looked back.

Compared to someone who intentionally speaks incomprehensible words to show his depth, talking to a truly intelligent person like Xie Ai is undoubtedly much easier.In the matter of borrowing the words, Xie Ai not only tested her character reaction, showed her wit and humor, but also expressed her stance of returning to her heart, and accomplished three things implicitly and implicitly, which is really rare talent.

After staying in Liangzhou for half a month, arranging important military and political affairs, Wang Lang returned to the Cheqi General's Mansion in Chang'an.

When the summer heat subsided and the autumn wind gradually picked up, the envoys who went to Jiankang finally returned to the city and brought the imperial court to "worship the servants, advance to the generals, add the governors of Liang, Qin, Yong, Liang, and the five prefectures of Liang, and the governor of Yongzhou. The imperial edict of changing the title of Duke of Jingzhao County.In addition, the mission also brought back a character that Wang Lang did not expect, Xun Xian.

Xun Xian, courtesy name Lingze, was born in the Xun family of Yingchuan. He is the sixth grandson of Shangshu Ling Xun Yu who was hailed as "my son's house" by Cao Cao.

Xun Xian rarely has great ambitions. During the Sujun Rebellion, seven-year-old Xun Xian stayed in Stone City with his parents.Su Jun liked his elegance and intelligence very much, and often sat on his knees.Xun Xian whispered in his mother's ear: "A sharp knife is enough to kill a thief." Xun's mother was so frightened that she immediately covered his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense!" His third son, Wang Qia, was equally famous and extremely talented as an official. Besides Wang Lang, he was also the youngest person to be appointed governor of the state since the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Although Wang Lang expressed his intention to ask the imperial court to send four or five officials to assist her in handling government affairs in Guanlong Bashu, he did not expect that King Kuaiji would even give it to Xun Xian.After asking Kong Wang, he learned that it was Xun Xian who asked to come to Yongzhou, and Sima Yu had no choice but to agree.

All the people in the south of the Yangtze River, except Wang Xizhi, Wang Tian, ​​and Wang Qia from the Wang family, Xie An and Xie Shang from the Xie family, who are about the same age as Wang Lang and have good friends, are just Xun Xian.It was a real surprise that Xun Xian was able to get Xun Xian to come to Guanlong for this mission to Jiankang and be awarded the governor of Qinzhou.

Thinking of this, Wang Lang's brows and eyes could not help showing a look of high spirits.

In her current shogunate, there are not only Wang Zuozhi, who is capable of being a prime minister, but also Xie Ai, who is both civil and military, and has a good understanding of military strategy. Both of them are top-notch talents in the world.Pei Yuanlue, who was inherited from Guanzhong, was born in the famous Pei clan of Hedong. Xun Xian and Wang Yunzhi, whom Fang Zhen relies on, are also very trustworthy talents.

Besides, Guanzhong is gradually on the right track and its strength is booming. As long as she is given another three years, what is there to be afraid of even if it is the most powerful Hou Zhao who occupies the Central Plains?Returning to the homeland is just around the corner!

(two)

During the Yonghe period, the Central Plains were in turmoil, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which lived in the south of the Yangtze River, was in a state of tranquility and turbulence.

On the one hand, because the northern forces attacked each other and had no time to invade the south, the elegant and elegant celebrities could live leisurely and calmly, creating countless good stories that will make future generations dream about.The master among them is the Lanting Banquet, which has been praised through the ages.

On the third day of March in the ninth year of Emperor Yonghe of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi held a Fengya gathering in Lanting, Shanyin, Kuaiji. The celebrities and scholars who participated included Xie An who was still living in seclusion, Sun Chuo, a poet, Xie Wan, an eminent monk, Zhi Daolin, There are 42 sons of Wang Xizhi, including Xianzhi, Ningzhi, Huanzhi, Xuanzhi and Huizhi.

According to the custom, on this day, the celebrities attending the meeting go to the water's edge to hold an auspicious ceremony, sprinkle the body with fragrant herbs dipped in water, feel the spring spirit, and pray for the elimination of diseases and bad luck.After the ceremony, 42 celebrities sat down beside the meandering stream, and the book boy put the wine glass pouring wine into the stream and let it flow down. Poetry, if you can't recite poems, you will be punished with three cups of wine, which is called flowing water.

At the Lanting Gathering this time, 11 people each wrote two poems, 15 people wrote one poem each, and 16 people who failed to write a poem were each fined three cups of wine.Wang Xianzhi was only nine years old at that time, and he came to join in the fun with his father Wang Xizhi, but unfortunately the wine glass stopped in front of him.Poor young Wang Xianzhi didn't compose any poems, yet he was punished by the celebrities for drinking.

After drinking and drinking, everyone gathered their poems together, and the convener of this gathering, the highly respected Wang Xizhi, was recommended to write a preface to record this gathering.Taking advantage of the wine, Wang Xizhi used a mouse whisker brush and cocoon paper to impromptuly write down 28 lines and 320 characters in the "Lanting Collection Preface", which was hailed as "the best running script in the world" by later generations.

Later generations know very little about the chaotic and dark history of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but when it comes to the Preface to the Lanting Collection, Wang Xizhi, and the world's first running script, almost everyone knows it.

Wang Lang in Chang'an was busy with business, so she couldn't witness this grand event, and she was so angry that she overturned several cases in the general's mansion, but she really couldn't get away, so she could only send a letter to Wang Xizhi to ask for a facsimile, as a consolation .

On the other hand, Zhao Emperor Shi Hu passed away, and the princes competed for the throne. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty failed in its attempt to make the Northern Expedition, another opportunity was presented to the people of Jin——Ran Min, who had temporarily gained the upper hand in the battle for the throne, issued an order to kill Hu. Stir up a thousand waves.

Ran Min's original surname was Ran, but because his father Ran Zhan surrendered to Shi Le, he was adopted by Shi Hu as an adopted son, so he changed his surname to Shi.

At the end of the fifth year of Yonghe, Ran Min killed Shi Jian and wrote letters to various places, announcing that the six barbarians inside and outside, who dared to call themselves soldiers, would be beheaded.More than [-] Hu people were killed in Yedu alone, and the north was in chaos.At the beginning of the next year, Ran Min proclaimed himself emperor, changed the name of the country to Wei, and restored the surname Ran that his grandfather and father had when they were young, and became Ran Min.The capital was established in Yecheng, the name was changed to Yongxing, and an envoy was sent to Linjiang to tell the Eastern Jin Dynasty: "Hu rebelled against the Central Plains, and he has been punished now. If you can fight together, you can send troops."

When the Hu family entered the Central Plains, even the most powerful Hou Zhao only dared to be called king, and did not change his title to emperor until Shihu died. banner.

Before Ran Min stabilized the Central Plains, he dared to proclaim himself emperor directly. How could the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which regarded itself as Zhengsu, send troops to help?

Judging from the two things of killing Hu Ling and eager to become emperor, Ran Min, who is famous for his ability to fight well, is not suitable to be called king at all.Han Xin, who was praised as "National Warrior", was killed by Han Gaozu Liu Bang, let alone Ran Min, whose political literacy was worse than Han Xin?

Not only Wang Lang in Guanzhong, but also the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River and the Murong family who occupied Liaodong all saw this.

Wang Lang, who had heard a little about this period of history and was taught by Jiang Shang, was the one who dealt with it most calmly and calmly among the three parties.

She knew that Guanlong and Liangzhou had just been pacified, and it would take time to manage and subdue people's hearts completely, so she made a decision to defend herself at the beginning of the civil strife in Later Zhao.When Ran Min issued the order to kill Hu, many subordinate officials were quite moved by the turmoil and chaos in the Central Plains. They persuaded her to send troops, but Wang Lang was unwavering and followed the guideline of Wang Dao's policy of "keep the peace and make everyone feel at peace". Stabilize Guanzhong, so that the people can recuperate.

In her plan, for at most five years, no matter who occupies the Central Plains, she is sure to regain it in one fell swoop. The current priority is to vigorously develop people's livelihood and prepare for the recovery of the Central Plains, rather than looking at Shu and being overwhelmed - this is actually It was also the strategy of Emperor Wen and Emperor Han Jing, that is, to minimize sending troops to surrounding hostile countries and maintain peace within the territory so as not to deplete national power.

Also, in order to resume production as quickly as possible, Wang Lang, who believes that "obtaining money through the righteous way, there is no need to treat yourself harshly", began to cut his own expenses, setting an example to lead the way in frugality.She no longer adds clothes for carriages and horses, no longer wears floor-length skirts, no longer uses embroidered curtains, and strictly prohibits state and county officials from contributing rare treasures. Don't dare to be extravagant and reduce the burden on the people.

In addition, Wang Lang, who wanted to make an example of others, confiscated the homes and families of several officials who violated the ban, in order to frighten people with dissatisfaction; he reduced or exempted land rents in various prefectures, persuaded farmers to take lessons in farming and mulberry, and set up three elders, filial piety, and Litian personnel according to the household registration ratio. , giving rewards to encourage farmers to produce.

With the gradual recovery and development of production levels, Guanzhong ushered in a great order not seen in 50 years.

At the same time, with the help of his descendants from a well-established family in the east of the shogunate, Wang Lang grasped the dynamics of the Central Plains and had a clearer understanding of Wei Emperor Ran Min.

According to Pei Yuanlue, who was a high-ranking official in Yecheng, Ran Min ordered: "Anyone who beheads a barbarian and sends his head to Fengyang Gate, the civil servants will be promoted to the third rank, and the military officers will all be worshiped as Yamen generals." In the army, regardless of men, women, old or young, high or low, all Hu people will be killed.The local officials and army generals who obeyed their orders also raised their butcher knives at the Hujie civilians or the Hujie soldiers in the army. In the unprecedented atmosphere of terror, more than half of the Han people with high noses and long beards were also driven mad. people were killed indiscriminately.

Since Wang Lang set foot in Guanzhong, he has seen the tragic scenes in the north with his own eyes. Unlike the prosperity and prosperity in the south of the Yangtze River, in Guanlong, the vast plain is covered by piles of bones. During the farming season, there are no men in the fields, only hungry and emaciated The women can barely see that the tragedy of cannibalism has become a common occurrence.

After hearing and seeing, even Wang Lang, who had never experienced the tyranny of the Hu people, could understand Ran Min's feelings for calling on the Han people to kill the Hu people, even the unarmed civilians, the old and the weak.What's more, according to what Pei Yuanlue said, the situation of the people in the Central Plains is even more miserable than that in the Guanlong area. The oppression of the Hu people in power by Shihu and others on the Han people is beyond description. For decades, the Han people have been proud and proud, avenging their blood and blood, which also objectively weakened the strength of the Hu people.It's just Ran Min's political literacy...

Wang Lang sighed, he was no longer optimistic about this hero of the Han nationality during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, but only had sympathy for him.After the Battle of Handan and Cangting, Ran Min's Ran Wei army became stronger and stronger with more than [-] armored soldiers surrounded by the Hu people, surpassing the time when the Shi Zhao Empire was at its strongest, Wang Lang still firmly believed in his own judgment.

In her opinion, Ran Min is full of enthusiasm and admirable bravery, but he can only be regarded as a general, and if he is a king, he must be a king of subjugation.

The actions of resisting the Hu people and promoting the military power of the Han people must be praised, must be praised, and make the blood of the Han people excited, but the actions without enough wisdom to support and maintain them are destined to be short-lived and cannot have long-term development.

In fact, in real history, after defeating the Xianbei cavalry, Ran Min was ridiculed by Murong Jun: "You only have the ability to be a servant, why dare you call yourself the emperor?" After that, Ran Min once replied angrily: "The world is in chaos, you barbarians , with a human face and a beast heart, and want to usurp. Why can't I be the emperor, the hero of Middle Earth!"

He didn't understand at all that his downfall was not because of his humble origins, but because of his lack of talent and wisdom to be a king.

Shi Le and Shi Hu, who proclaimed themselves kings and emperors, created the Shizhao Empire. It was clear that the Shizhao Empire was destroyed in his hands, but he only saw that the Yi and Di could usurp it, and never thought that the usurpation by those who were not strong enough would only lead to rapid defeat. !

Wang Lang respected his blood and dedication to the Han people, but first chose to be responsible for the people under his rule and his family, so he stayed in Guanzhong according to the original plan, and did not send troops to rescue. Ran Min's heir was sent to Guanzhong.

She is a very self-aware person, knowing that what she can do is to protect the descendants of heroes and preserve a strand of blood for Ran Min.No matter how much she pays, it will be beyond her ability. Where will the people in Guanzhong who trust her wholeheartedly and the members of the Wang clan who support her do their best?

(three)

Before discussing the response of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Murong family, it is necessary to mention a person who had no trace of layout in this matter and determined the political situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty for the next 30 years-Xie An.

During the period when Wang Langmou captured Guanlong, the Jiangnan area where the Eastern Jin regime was located was ushering in a very rare period of stability.

The minority regimes in the north were too busy fighting for power and had no time to look south; the emerging dignitaries in the court were fledgling and restrained each other, so the leisurely and unrestrained figures of the celebrities naturally became the most beautiful scenery during this period.

Among them, Liu Yin, Wang Meng, Huan Wen, and Xie Shang are called the four famous scholars, and they are known as "the crown of famous scholars in Yonghe".Those who transcended the four were Yin Hao and Xie An, both from Chen County.

Let's put Yin Hao aside, let's talk about Xie An first.

Xie An was born in the Xie family of Chenjun. When he was four years old, Huan Wen's father, Huan Yi, praised him as "the god of wind, Xiuche". At the age of 1, Xie An's fame spread to Liaodong, and even Murong Chui, who was only seven years old at the time, specially sent a pair of white wolves he had hunted as a gift.After arriving in the capital city of Jiankang, Xie An was admired by almost all the celebrities below the current king, and his every move was sought after by the world to imitate.

One time, Xie An's fellow villager visited Xie An before returning home. Xie An asked him if he had enough travel expenses, and the fellow villager replied: "There are only [-] palm-flower fans." They rushed to follow suit, and the palmetto fans that had been overstocked for a long time were quickly sold at high prices.

When Yu Bing was in power, Xie An was forced to quit his official position and worked as a writer for a month. After that, he resigned from office on the grounds of illness and went home, and lived in seclusion in Dongshan, Shangyu County, Kuaiji County.

During this period of time, Wang Lang and him had a pair of children. The boy was named Xie Yao, and the girl was named Xie Wan. Both of them were beautiful jade.Wang Lang once joked in private, saying that Xie An: "Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade." Shanshan is her nickname, and Shi is Xie An's character. Together, it is her Anshi that can be carved. Children, that's a little too much.After Wang Lang finished speaking, he also realized that his wording was not appropriate, and he felt quite guilty in his heart, but Xie An changed the subject indifferently, and lightly exposed the matter.

Shortly thereafter, Wang Lang left Yangzhou as the governor of Yizhou, and Xie An continued his life as a hermit in Dongshan, educating his children and associating with celebrities at the same time.

Xie An was calm and composed. He once went out to sea with Sun Chuo and Wang Xizhi, and encountered a storm. Everyone panicked and fidgeted. So calm down and be able to return safely.

Gradually, Xie An's reputation grew, so that the scholar-bureaucrats were afraid that he would not participate in world affairs, and urged him to become an official as soon as possible.Xie An ignored it and continued to swim in Linquan. People at that time praised him as the most romantic in Jiangzuo.Later, Empress Dowager Chu's father, Chu Po, failed in the Northern Expedition, and there began to be a saying in the world that "An Shi refuses to come out, what will happen to the common people", that is, if Xie An does not become an official, what should the common people do.He urged Xie An to become an official more and more.

Wang Xizhi has a very good relationship with Xie An, and he has always been optimistic about Xie An's ability, thinking that he is capable enough to subdue the government and the public, so he persuaded Xie An to become an official.Xie An still refused to agree, and every time he traveled with Wang Xizhi, he could always change the topic to other directions.

Wang Xizhi had no choice but to complain to Wang Yunzhi in a letter.

Knowing that his younger sister Wang Lang liked Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, Wang Yunzhi often took the opportunity of correspondence to collect Wang Xizhi's authentic works and sent them to Wang Lang in Chang'an for appreciation.This time Wang Xizhi was in a depressed mood, and the cursive script in his pen had an unusual beauty. Wang Yunzhi was amazed by it, so he happily wrote a letter and asked Wang Xizhi to pass it on to Xie An.

The content of the letter is as follows:

"Wang and Xie are among the dragons and phoenixes, and Pei and Xun are the best in the north and south. They are so talented young people. It's really a blessing for the family and the country."

Wang and Xie in his letter obviously did not refer to Wang Lang and Xie An, but Wang Meng and Xie Ai.

Regardless of Wang Meng, Xie Ai, who is a Confucian general, has a handsome appearance, and even the famous scholars in Jiangzuo who have eyes above the top also admire it very much.

Deliberately mentioning these four people, and emphasizing young talents, this letter is really... really ulterior motives...

Because the letter was not sealed, Wang Xizhi, who opened it and read it in advance, read it with a strange expression. After thinking about it, he put it back and handed it to Xie An as if nothing had happened.

Xie An really couldn't sit still.

He didn't particularly care about the few people in Wang Lang's shogunate, but suddenly thought of a possibility.

Both Qin and Han achieved their imperial careers in Guanzhong, and the courtiers who had power over the government and the public had never retreated. If Wang Lang finally came to the step of becoming self-reliant in the Jin Dynasty, the most gentle way would be to have a son of Sima's blood mixed. Or establish as a young emperor, and act as regent in the court as the empress dowager; or become a prince, directly proclaim the emperor, and wait for a long time, and the subjects and common people are used to it before abolishing the act.

Taking a step back, even if Wang Lang didn't have such an idea, there are many of her courtiers and generals who want to be the founding fathers and want Wang Lang to be the emperor with the heart of climbing the dragon and the phoenix.

Holding the letter and pondering quietly for a while, Xie An decided to go to Yuzhou to meet his elder brother Xie Shang, who is the governor, and to wait until the end of the third Northern Expedition.

He cannot participate in a Northern Expedition that is doomed to fail.

Xie An sighed inwardly, and turned his gaze to the Shangshutai in the distance.

In his opinion, Sima Yu, the king of Kuaiji, who is currently in power, is the first-class figure of Emperor Hui of Jin who "why not eat minced meat", only surpassed in talk; Yin Hao, who was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, has been in the country for nearly seven years , I have not seen any good governance.If the Northern Expedition planned by these two people can be successful, then there will be smoke on the Sima family's ancestral grave, thanks to the protection of the ancestors.

To make matters worse, Sima Yu didn't trust Huan Wen, who occupied Jingzhou with a strong army, and lacked effective means to check and balance. As a result, Huan Wen was excluded from even major events such as the Northern Expedition. Set aside part of the troops to defend Jingzhou, people simply don't know what to say.

However, Huan Wen's troops were limited. Even if he wanted to use the land of Jingzhou to launch the Northern Expedition and successfully conquer the land of Luoyang, it would only make Sima Yu in the court more afraid of him, and it was impossible to send troops to support him.At that time, Huan Wen will be alone with an army, and the only choice is to give up the Central Plains and retreat to Jingzhou, and return to continue the tug-of-war between the DPRK and China.

At the beginning, Linlang chose to go out of Yizhou instead of Jingzhou, and defend Guanzhong with Yizhou as a conquest to block three sides, it was precisely because of this concern...

Putting down the letter in his hand, Xie An walked a few steps to the bookshelf placed on the west wall.

On the most accessible position, there is a roll of bamboo slips quietly. The bamboo pieces have been polished to a lustrous luster, and the strings made of cooked cowhide connecting the bamboo pieces are about to be worn out. Obviously, it is an item that the owner often reads. .

Xie An took down the bamboo slips, opened them, and saw the simple and solemn official script with silkworm heads and swallow tails.

The descendants of the Wang family are good at running script. Du Wanglang is famous for his official script. The handwriting he is very familiar with is the annotations left by Wang Lang when he was studying in the past. Every time he reads it, he can feel peaceful in his heart.

Standing quietly by the bookshelf and looking at the bamboo slips for a while, Xie An closed his eyes.

In the Jin Dynasty, the Northern Expedition, which involved the foundation of the country and involved innumerable major events, could only be realized when the ministers in charge of the court and the generals who led the troops abroad were completely united. The reality of the decision.

When the Wang family of Langya was in power, Dao Wang was in charge of the state affairs, and Wang Dun supported the military and important towns.

When the Yu family in Yingchuan was in power, the brothers Yu Liang and Yu Bing were in charge of the government one after another, and Yu Yi guarded Jingzhou, so people's hearts were stable and the government was stable. If Yu Bing and Yu Yi hadn't passed away too early, the Northern Expedition would have happened.

Now that the Chu family in Henan has withdrawn from the competition due to the death of Chu Yu, the Wang and Yu families who have fallen in status have dispersed their power to the Huan family in Qiaoguo, the Xie family in Chenjun, and the Wang family in Taiyuan. A gate valve is much lower in hand.

Facing the unprecedentedly complicated situation in the north, Sima Yu, the king of Kuaiji, who lacked political experience, obviously lost his position and mishandled it repeatedly. In the end, he could only sit back and watch the great opportunity to regain the Central Plains slip away from his hands, while preventing others from making contributions.

Therefore, for him, instead of trying to save a Northern Expedition that was doomed to fail, it is better to use this opportunity to remove obstacles and prepare for the next troop dispatch by the Jin Dynasty.

The Xie family was managed by the second generation of Xie Kun and Xie Shang's father and son, and took advantage of Xie Zhenshi's being the biological father of the Empress Dowager Chu. Taking advantage of this turbulent time to plan well, it may not be impossible to rise to the former Langya Wang family and Yingchuan Yu's family. The gentry who control the political situation like the family.

At that time, internal problems will be resolved. With Jiangnan's 50 years of accumulated national strength, why worry about foreign affairs?

(Fives)

Wang Lang took two pieces of information, one from the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the other from the Qianyan.No need to think too much, she opened the Eastern Jin part first.

Wang Lang lived in a period when the Wang family was gradually declining from the peak of power. He knew the essence of Eastern Jin clan politics clearly, so he knew that it was impossible to succeed in major events that were not led by the aristocrats. The Northern Expedition failed, which was expected.

However, what Wang Lang didn't expect was that since Xie An became an official, the Xie family in Chen Jun had hidden signs of becoming the third axis family after Wang and Yu's family - she thought this should be the fifth family. Things that will happen years later.

Let's briefly review the major events that have happened in Jiangzuo in the past few years.

First, Huan Wen, who repeatedly asked for the Northern Expedition but was rejected, went to Wuchang again, but without waiting for the court's reply, he led about [-] people and went east to Wuchang.Feared by the court, Yin Hao dismissed himself in order to avoid Huan Wen.

Then Sima Yu, king of Kuaiji, appointed Huanwen to the Northern Expedition, leading [-] people from Jing and Jianghe to attack Xuchang and Luoyang, and staying in Yuzhou and Xuzhou for defense.Huanwen's troops were divided into two groups, one went out from the northern border of Jingzhou to stop the Qiang tycoon Yao Xiang from going south, and he took Jiangling to march into Luoyang, fought against Yao Xiang across the water, and won a big victory.So I asked for it back.

At this time, there were Murong's tribes lingering in You and Ji. The generals in the Central Plains surrendered and rebelled.

Huan Wen, who returned to the station with military exploits and prestige, reported to Sima Dan, Emperor Mudi of Jin Dynasty, and accused Sima Yu, king of Kuaiji, of improper administration.Sima Yu was afraid that Huan Wen would send his teacher to Jiankang, so he pushed Wang Biaozhi and Xie An, who represented the interests of the aristocratic family, to come to power and deal with Huan Wen.So far, the Xie family of Chenjun has completely taken the position of the first-class family, and is compared with the Wang family of Langya and the Wang family of Taiyuan by the world.

After several years of cultivation, Huan Wen started to prepare for the second Northern Expedition.He first set off with [-] cavalry, and divided his troops into east and west. The west was led by the old general Yuan Zhen. The waterway enters the Yellow River and goes west along the river to meet Yuan Zhen.

Not long after the army of the East Road left the country, it defeated the Yan army who came to intercept it.Enter the Yellow River, fight against Murong Chui, and win again.So he marched into Luoyang to face Murong Ke who had defeated Ran Min and conquered Luoyang not long ago.

Murong Ke is the fourth son of Murong Hao, the former Emperor of Yan Wenming.This time, Huan Wen was defeated and had to burn his ships and retreat south.On the way, he was chased by Qianyan's Jingqi and lost again.

After the war, Huan Wen's prestige suddenly declined, and his staff suggested that he use the method of abolishing the establishment to regain his authority. Huan Wen thought it was feasible, so he went to Tungu, and used his military power to force Jiankang to agree.Emperor Mu of the Jin Dynasty wrote the edict to pass the throne to Sima Yu and passed it to Shangshutai.Xie An, who was on duty in Taiwan Province at that time, took the imperial edict to Emperor Mu of Jin and tore it up in front of Emperor Mu of Jin.Afterwards, he went to Huan Wen's official residence in Gushu with Wang Biaozhi, who was also in charge of the government.

Huan Wen knew that it was the imperial family's intention to reject the edict, so he ambushed a group of warriors behind the living room in advance.Wang and Xie had already heard about this on the way, and when they entered the mansion, Wang Biaozhi broke out in a cold sweat and his clothes were soaked, but Xie An was very calm.After the guests and hosts were seated, he calmly said to Huan Wen: "I heard that since ancient times, moral generals have always placed soldiers and horses on the border to guard against foreign invasion. Why did Duke Huan hide the soldiers behind the wall?" Huan Wen's arrangement was blatantly explained by Xie An. On the basis of morality, he felt embarrassed and said ashamedly: "I also have to take precautions." So he immediately withdrew the soldiers who were hiding behind the tent and prepared to assassinate them, and joined them. Talk about drinking.

Back in Jiankang, the ruling and opposition parties all turn their hearts to Xie An, who manages the government properly and handles things calmly.In the same year, Xie An became prime minister, led Yangzhou governor, and wrote to Huan Wen, "If Jing and Yang are in balance, the world will be peaceful" and "Work together to restore the royal family and restore Shenzhou." He obtained Huan's understanding and cooperation, and established a relatively stable common front .

When Sima Yu was in power, the country had no morals and was despised by the sages of the time; it was Xie An's turn to be in power, "Peace and tranquility are used in the town, long-term calculations are used by the emperor, moral government is done, civil and military life is used, there is no small inspection, and the general outline is used to preside over the outside world." "Writing", so that the world compares him to Wang Dao, and says that his elegance surpasses Wang Dao.

Seeing this, Wang Lang closed the bamboo slips, feeling quite agitated in his heart.

In the past few years, she has been busy governing Guanzhong, comforting the people who were forced to move to Yecheng by Shile Shihu in the past, and now they have fled in all directions and returned to their original places, as well as the small forces who surrendered to her and asked for protection.Now that there is sufficient food and fodder, and the army is strong and general, it is time to send troops to Luoyang.At the same time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which lived in the south of the Yangtze River, also resolved internal conflicts. Yangzhou and Jingzhou reached an agreement and were ready to recover the Central Plains.

There is no doubt that after taking over Zhao's territory and swallowing the former Yan regime in the Central Plains, the Murong family of the Xianbei family will focus their resistance on the west, and use the less talented Murong Chui or Murong Ping to face the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Pursing his lips, he stared at another scroll of bamboo slips that recorded Qianyan's information for a while, then Wang Lang stood up.

The soft persimmons were given to Xie An as well, just in time for her to come and meet Murong Ke, who was later hailed as the "No. 1 General of the Sixteen Kingdoms"!
