Chapter 651 The Secret Envoy(2/2)
Although he actively supported it, he did not express his opposition clearly. Yuzhou also shared the food and fodder needed for sending troops and did not shirk it.
Guo Que said at the end of his report,
"We accompanied Cao Gan to Tangyi, and on the way we learned about the new Zuo Wu Xiang army attacking Guanzhong. Seeing that Cao Gan was not particularly surprised, we suspected that Cao Gan knew that the Wen clan had entered
It’s Tangyi…”
Guo Que and Feng Yi kept secret correspondence with Donghu even when they were on the way. They knew that Han Donghu and others, with the help of Shen Peng, had successfully robbed the Wen clan members and put them under house arrest in Liyang City.
Even if the Wen clan members are secretly placed under house arrest in Liyang City, they will not openly admit this to the outside world for the time being. However, in order to ensure that Lu Qingxia and others do not dare to use troops against Guanzhong easily, they will also ensure that some rumors can be introduced at the right time.
In the ears of Lu Qingxia and others.
Feng Yi, Guo Que and others learned on the way that the main force of the Zuo Shenwu Army under Chai Jian's command had been transferred to the Fangcheng defense line in the north of Nanyang, and that the vacated Junzhou was newly garrisoned by the Zuo Wu Xiang Army under the command of the Guards, Horses and Infantry Pro-Army Division.
He was also responsible for the attack on Wuguan, so naturally he would not find anything out of the ordinary, and would only regard it as a subsequent adjustment strategy made by Lu Qingxia and others against the Tangyi Army.
However, Cao Qian knew this but did not show too much surprise or surprise, which is worth pondering.
Han Qian and others had previously speculated that Xiao Yiqing or Wang Jingrong secretly sent people to Shuchu to contact the old forces of the Shenling Division. This was undoubtedly further verified from the side.
At the beginning, although Guo Que and Feng Yi had only a brief contact with Changxiang Hou Wang Yong, they accompanied Cao Gan on the way back to East Lake. The information they could get from Cao Gan was quite limited, but they stayed in Yuzhou for more than ten days.
After contacting Yuzhou generals, we can still clearly grasp two key pieces of information.
The first point is that although Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, knew how to keep a low profile in his early years and even surrendered to the Liang Kingdom so that Shu could recuperate, in recent years, Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, has gradually become interested in proclaiming himself emperor.
This is most likely the main reason why the Shu army decided to seize Guanzhong at this time and Yuzhou did not strongly oppose it, rather than simply being persuaded and deceived by others.
Wang Jianji, the lord of Shu, probably wanted to take advantage of the situation and proclaim himself emperor when he established his achievements in annexing Guanzhong and his reputation increased to a higher level.
Another point is that although Yuzhou has gained huge benefits from cooperation with Xuzhou in recent years and has grown a lot in strength, due to the silence of Wang Jian, the leader of Shu, the Marquis of Changxiang has not seen any progress in the fight for heirs.
The possibility of winning.
At this time, the generals of Yuzhou also knew that Xuzhou had greater benefits from the border trade between the two sides, especially the large-scale production of well salt in Wuchuan. It was impossible to keep the secret at this time. In addition, the Qingyang Princess was
Dachu also did not receive substantial support from Tangyi, and the Yuzhou generals were somewhat dissatisfied and resentful.
"If you are close, you are not inferior, and if you are far, you will be resentful. They have obtained such great benefits for nothing, but they still complain. After all, the magnanimity of the Yuzhou generals or the Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong is limited after all. We cannot be expected to single-handedly control them.
He helped him ascend the throne of the monarch of Shu, right?" Feng Liao said with emotion, "Guo Que and Feng Yi could only meet Wang Yong briefly when they arrived in Yuzhou. Wang Yong may have a lot of resentment in his heart. He probably felt that he was being ignored.
Let’s make more use of it, shall we?”
Han Qian held one hand in front of his chest and held it up with the other. He frowned and asked Guo Que: "Why did Wang Yong ask Cao Qian to come to East Lake to see me secretly after spending more than ten days in haste to meet Guo Que and the others?"
, has there been any change in attitude?"
"What if Wang Yong is tempted to usurp the throne?" Wang Jun, who had been sitting next to Han Qian and quietly listening to Guo Que's report, interrupted and asked.
Hearing what Wang Jun said, Feng Liao was startled and then seemed to be split by a bolt of lightning. He subconsciously said: "The Liang Kingdom is in chaos, and the soldiers and horses in the towns of Chu are suspicious of each other. At this time, the main force of the Shu army, especially Shu
The prince Wang Hongyi and his troops are all attacking Guanzhong from Liangzhou, which is a good opportunity for Wang Yong to plot to usurp the throne!"
After hearing Wang Jun and Feng Liao mention this possibility, Guo Que, Feng Yi, Han Donghu, Wang Che and other attendants and generals were shocked and speechless for a while.
After Han Qian sat back on the long case made by Yumu, he was silent for a long time. He was just a little worried before, but now the intelligence information brought back by Guo but Feng Yi is really too pessimistic.
If they were not forced with no way out, no one would act rashly when powerful enemies were waiting outside.
However, the surrounding powerful enemies are in chaos and have no time to take care of themselves. This is not only a good opportunity to send troops to attack the powerful enemies and take advantage of the situation, but also an opportunity to launch an internal mutiny. Unexpectedly, foreign enemies will take advantage of the opportunity, so there is no need to worry about making a wedding dress for the foreign enemies.
Just like after the victory at Wujinling, Huaidong sent troops to seize Shiliang, and Han Qian didn't say a word. At that time, the Shouzhou army still maintained a very strong combat power. If there was any dispute between Tangyi and Huaidong, they would only call it Shouzhou.
The military fishermen benefited.
However, the Liang Kingdom was in chaos, and the Shouzhou Army was forced to retreat to protect itself. When it was difficult to threaten Tangyi from the northern front, Han Qian took the opportunity to regain Shiliang County from Huaidong without hesitation.
Han Qian's secret abduction of the Wen clan from Xuzhou prevented Lu Qingxia and others from daring to act rashly. The same reason applies. Without the threat of the Shouzhou Army from the north, they could not guess his side at all.
What action to take.
Perhaps this is the reason why Changxiang Hou Wang Yong remained silent about the Shu-Chu coalition's attack on Guanzhong. Feng Yi and Guo had contact with Yuzhou generals and could hear some complaints, but they could not say anything about Changxiang Hou Wang Yong.
They are not confidential enough and sometimes allow their subordinates to breed dissatisfaction and resentment, which is also an effective means of maintaining internal cohesion or mobilizing for things.
Wang Yong had a cold attitude towards Feng Yi, Guo Que and the others before, and then suddenly asked Cao Qian to accompany Guo Que. Feng Yi secretly came to East Lake, perhaps learning from the secret envoy of Guanjiang Tower that they had kidnapped the Wen clan.
Later, they mistakenly thought that they had ambition and greed to take advantage of the chaos, so they wanted to achieve mutual success, right?
What a fucking mess!
"Jun'er, let's go back to Liyang!" Han Qian stood up exhausted and said to Wang Jun.
"You haven't seen Cao Gan?" Feng Liao asked in surprise.
"It's gone. You stay here to deal with Cao Gan. You can find any excuse to say that I have something urgent and I have to rush back to Liyang." Han Qian said impatiently.
"..." Feng Liao wanted to ask more, but seeing Han Qian's irritated look, he thought he should get more accurate information from Cao Qian first before saying anything else.
Guo Que accompanied Feng Liao to deal with Cao Qian. After all, Guo Que was responsible for the follow-up Chishan meeting, the contact with Yuzhou, and the intelligence collection and spying on the territory of Shu. Feng Yi was also free and followed Han Qian.
They go back to East Lake first.
For more than a month, he had been either stewing on the boat or eating idle meals in Yuzhou, and he was very fed up in his heart.
