Chapter 97 Again

Jiankang, loyal to Wang Sima Zun's mansion.

In the flower hall, Sima Xiuzhi, who had just escaped from Nanyan, sat down with an unhappy face. Sima Zun, who was sitting at the top, also didn't look so good.

The two have the same surname as Sima, and they are also royals, but now one is a prince, but the other wants to seek an official but can't get it. No wonder Sima Xiuzhi can't be happy.

In fact, Sima Zun was all about helping Sima Xiuzhi, but after entering the palace, he was driven out by the emperor Sima Dewen, which made him extremely depressed.

Sima Zun didn't know that if he asked Sima Dewen for another official position for Sima Xiuzhi, Sima Dewen might help him. Unfortunately, what he wanted for Sima Xiuzhi was the governor of Jingzhou, which was not surprising why Sima Dewen kicked him out. It's already very good for him to stab him without a knife.

There is another thing that Sima Zun doesn't know, that is, Sima Xiuzhi's idea of being the governor of Jingzhou was completely provoked by Liu Muzhi's people.

Sima Xiuzhi is one of the few hardliners in the Sima family, and he is also a talented man, otherwise he would not have escaped when Huan Xuan usurped the throne. Moreover, he has not been idle outside for the past two years. He always wanted to bring troops back to kill Huan Xuan, but he was a little anxious and wanted to usurp other people's countries, so he was hunted down.

Huan Xuan escaped and Sima Xiuzhi was able to return to Jiankang. However, after returning to Jiankang, he soon found that the current court was obviously walking in the direction of Huan Xuan's chaotic government, so he was very anxious and wanted to do something for the Sima imperial dynasty.

It's just that he has no military power. What's the use of being anxious? At this time, someone gave him advice. Jingzhou is now strong and has a strong army and abundant money and food. If he can replace Lu Qiang to command Jingzhou and lead the army outside, who dares to easily attack in the court? Don't you attach importance to Sima's imperial power?

Sima Xiuzhi knows Lu Qiang and knows that he is a very capable person, but when he wants to come, does outsiders have a reliable family? So Yang Sima Zun went to the emperor.

Sima Zun went to see Sima Dewen. After all, he was his family. Sima Dewen was very happy at the beginning, but after hearing that Sima Xiuzhi was going to replace Lu Qiang, he immediately turned against him and didn't give him any chance, so he directly kicked Sima Zun out.

The two royals stared at this big eyes and couldn't figure out why the emperor was so good to Lu Qiang? The grace of saving life is of course very important, but compared with the imperial power, it is nothing!

"Ji Yu, you don't have to be too discouraged. There will always be a way. Why don't you find Liu Yu?"

After listening to Sima Zun's words, Sima Xiuzhi's face suddenly sank and said unhappily, "This is my Sima's world. Do you have to rely on yourself to fight for fame and wealth and ask outsiders for help? There is no place to make people laugh"

Sima Zun blushed, and he never thought of this, but the government is now in the hands of Erliu, and these members of the royal family have no right to speak at all.

The more Sima Xiuzhi thought about it, the more upset he became. He simply stood up and said, "I'm going to Jiangling to see who can trust your majesty so much."

Sima Zun nodded: "Well, I will fight for you on the court side"

"Farewell"...

At this time, Liu Yu's house is another scene. Liu Yu, who has received the news of Xunyang's mistake, has no unhappy face. Looking at his appearance, it was as if he had known Xunyang would be lost.

"Taohe, it's better for you to block the river waterway, encourage Sima Xiuzhi to divide the road, and secretly help Liu Yi attack Lu Qiang. It's really a three-bird trick, haha! Sure enough, it's a wonderful plan"

Under Liu Yu's praise, Liu Muzhi was inevitably a little fluttering. He smiled and said, "We did have a little constered the strong child before. How do I think he will deal with it this time? When Liu Yi and Lu Qiang are separated, it's time for adults to take action."

Liu Yu nodded. In fact, he didn't pay attention to Liu Yi. It's not difficult to get rid of him, but it's not the right time. If everything goes well this time, after the two tigers compete, there must be one side weak, and then he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Suddenly, I heard Liu Mu's words and said, "General He is a little embarrassed! Now that he refuses to obey the adult's arrangement, I don't know what the adult's plan is?"

Speaking of He Wuji, Liu Yu couldn't help but remain silent. A few days ago, he and Liu Yi would jointly put pressure on He Wuji and order him to lead troops to fight against Lu Xun, but He Wuji refused on the grounds that the emperor could not fake others.

He Wuji's direct army is not many, only 5,000, but these 5,000 people are enough to protect the palace. Under the protection of He Wuji, neither Liu Yu nor Liu Yi can force the emperor to submit, and He Wuji protects the palace. You can't lead troops to attack, can you?

So Erliu reached an unprecedented agreement on this matter.

He Wuji's refusal to obey made Erliu ashamed and angry, especially Liu Yu. Anyway, he was also He Wuji's superior and did not obey his orders. Isn't this a naked slap in the face?

Since you don't have the same heart with me, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Although Liu Muzhi did not interrupt Liu Yu's meditation, he had been observing Liu Yu's expression. Seeing that Liu Yu had killed a murder in his eyes, his heart couldn't help but jump.

How can he say that he and He Wuji were also good friends in the past? After a moment of meditation, he finally bravely said, "Your Excellency, I want to talk to General He again."

Liu Yu looked up and stared at Liu Muzhi for a long time, and then nodded and said, "Please do it. Remember, this is only one time."

Da Situ Liu Yi's Mansion.

If it hadn't been for the matter of Lu Qiang, Liu Yi would have been proud now. Liu Yu has been courteous to him recently and supported all the decrees he proposed. Even in the treatment of Lu Xun and He Wuji, he was surprisingly not opposed to him.

After receiving Lu Xun's generous gift, Liu Yi gave Lu Xun an official title of Guangzhou Assassin. Anyway, he didn't spend anything on him and gave it to him.

The reason why Liu Yi agreed to transfer He Wuji is that he has the same idea as Liu Yu, which is to control the emperor. However, He Wuji didn't leave, and no one could do anything about it, so he was also ready to attack He Wuji by other means.

Only while waiting for Liu Yu's reply, the news that Lu Qiang seized Xunyang and forced Liu Huaisu to withdraw from Jiangzhou spread to Jiankang, which made him have to put down other things and deal with Lu Qiang's abnormality.

As Liu Huaisu thought, how can the meat that has reached his mouth be spit out? Liu Yi sent Liu Huaisu to occupy Poyang County, which is the idea of taking Poyang County as a base and then taking Jiangzhou.

Now Lu Qiang not only successfully captured Xunyang, but also wants to drive his people out of Jiangzhou? Is it possible?

In addition to Liu Yi's confidants Tang Liang and Liu Yun, there is also Lu Wensong, a new imperial historian who has defected to him. What they are studying now is how to deal with the current situation in Jiangzhou.

Lu Wensong is the second brother of the Lu family in Guangling. He was promoted by Liu Yi in the position of governor of Dongyang, so now he is determined to follow Liu Yi. His nephew Lu Bao's leg has been disabled, and now he can only lie in **. You know, that's the treasure of their Lu family! Being made like this by Lu Qiang, the Lu family now can't wait to scratch Lu Qiang.

Therefore, he first suggested that Liu Yi send troops to destroy Lu Qiang. In addition, he also proposed a very constructive plan, which is to ask Lu Xun to start from Guangzhou, so that Lu Qiang can't take care of each other, and Lu Qiang is now unstable, which is the best time to eliminate Lu Qiang.

Everyone was deeply convinced of Lu Wensong's proposal, but Tang Liang said that one of the most critical issues was time.

Jiankang is thousands of miles away from Guangzhou. I'm afraid the battle will be over. So this can only be used as a backup policy.

Several people expressed their opinions, but none of them were useful, which made Liu Yi very upset. In fact, his idea is very simple, that is, no matter what the strategy is, the premise is that Poyang County cannot be allowed out.

Tang Liang understood Liu Yi's idea and said with a worried face, "If you want to ensure that Poyang will not lose, the best way is to send more troops to Poyang, but at present, our army near Jiankang is almost equal to Liu Yu. If another part is drawn out, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to adults!"

Liu Yun also nodded and said, "It's better to be able to tell Liu Yu to send troops together. I guess Liu Yu's heart to destroy Lu will not be smaller than us. After all, Xunyang they occupy has been taken away by Lu Qiang."

Tang Liang said again, "In what name should we send troops?"

Lu Wensong snorted coldly, "There is no king and confuses the king's heart. That one is enough to kill him. Aren't these charges enough?"

Tang Liang knew the resentment of Lu Jiatong Luqiang and couldn't help looking at him and wanted to remind him that this is not the time to be emotional. However, I believe that Liu Yi can also understand that it is useless to charge Lu Qiang'an, because there is an emperor on it!

Looking at Liu Yi with a gloomy face, he carefully reminded him, "Your Excellency, the key is still at Your Majesty's place!"

paused and said, "If we send troops, we are not good and don't speak well. If we don't serve troops, we are bound to watch Lu Qiang drive our men out of Jiangzhou and slowly sit up. Therefore, my subordinates suggestion is that General Huai Su will continue to drag Lu Qiang, and then get your majesty's decree to fight against Lu Qiang as soon as possible, and then gather with Liu Yu. , rise up and smooth the road in one fell swoop"

After Tang Liang finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Liu Yi with others.

Liu Yi has not wanted to force the emperor for a day or two, but because of Wuji, he dared not do it easily. It seems that He Wuji can't do it, and he has to change to other ways.

A cold light flashed in Liu Yi's eyes.

At this moment, the voice of the bodyguard suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Excellency, Lord Liu Yu sent someone to send a secret letter"

Liu Yi couldn't help but be stunned. What did he say in his heart that made it so mysterious? He ordered the man to take the letter in and opened it. His eyes couldn't help but light up, and then he fell into meditation.

Tang Liang and others are very curious. They don't know what secret letters Liu Yu sent, and they all look at Liu Yi eagerly...

At the same time, He Wuji was also invited by Liu Muzhi to go to the best Tao Ranju in the capital to drink.
