Chapter 241 Lu Qiang's Means
The fifth floor of Gongsun is a general of the State of Yan. He is not a famous general, but also a little famous. He was originally subordinate to Murong Yi, but because Murong Yi is suspected of holding soldiers, he has been invited back to Zhongshan for tea.
And Murong Yi's old troops were scattered and divided into other armies. Gongsun's fifth floor was not Murong Yi's direct line, so he was divided into Bingzhou and became Bingzhou's general.
Gongsun Fifth Floor is a very calculating and powerful person. There is no national concept in his heart. He is strong enough to defect there, and he can't help but have strange thoughts in his heart.
The news of Murong Yun's murder has not yet spread, and the messenger Feng Ba sent to Shengle has just left him. After personally sent the messenger away, he returned to his house and couldn't help thinking about the true meaning of the messenger going to Shengle.
"I had to sign a covenant with Tuobajiu before. Later, because of the continuous assistance of the State of Jin, I had to put this matter down. Is it because the Emperor of Jin wanted to return Luoyang and felt the threat from the State of Jin, so he wanted to make friends with Tuoba Kui again?"
In fact, Gongsun's fifth floor is not optimistic about Tuoba Ji. Although the Wei army is sharp, 200,000 troops have not captured the small city garrisoned by 60,000 Jin troops. What kind of strong army is it? After this incident, he couldn't help but turn his heart towards the Jin Dynasty.
It's just that this kind of thing can only be thought about in my heart at present, and I can't reveal it to outsiders at all.
He was thinking about it, and his footsteps sounded. He looked up, but his brother Gongsun Gui quickly came in.
"Five floor, a salt merchant from Zhongshan wants to see you"
"Salt merchant?"
After listening to his brother's words, Gongsun's fifth floor couldn't help moving slightly.
At the beginning, the emperor of the State of Jin went to Zhongshan as a salt merchant, so when he heard that a salt merchant came to his house, Gongsun immediately thought of the State of Jin.
Gongsun Gui's face was also very solemn. Obviously, he also thought of this point and nodded and said, "I have invited him to the side hall, and I have also sent my confidants outside the door to strengthen their vigilance."
"Brother did the right thing. Let's go and meet him."
Gongsun listened to his brother's words, nodded repeatedly, got up and walked to the side hall with his brother. Both of them knew in their hearts that if this person was really sent by the Jin Dynasty, then they must have a very important mission here.
The side hall does not receive important guests. It even has a kind of discrimination to bring guests here, but of course, the Gongsun brothers do not mean it. This is just to cover people's eyes and ears.
The person is a middle-aged man in his thirties, not tall, with a strong face, and two moustaches on his upper lip. Judging from his appearance alone, he really looks like a businessman.
However, this businessman was sent by Zhifengtang to Bingzhou.
Everything Feng wants to rebel can be sent to Lu Qiang as soon as possible. The news that they are going to sell the country, the spy of Zhifengtang dares not delay.
At this time, Lu Qiang's eastern patrol team had not yet arrived in Luoyang. After receiving the secret report, Lu Qiang immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity.
The war between countries has always had nothing to say, righteousness and morality. Moreover, Murong Yun is dead, and he has nothing to consider.
The geographical location of Bingzhou is important, the city is high and the walls are thick, and it has always been a must-have place for soldiers. Once it is occupied by the State of Wei, it will be difficult to take it back in the future, so it is necessary to do it first.
Lu Qiang immediately ordered Deng Xiang to lead 5,000 light horses to Bingzhou, and at the same time ordered Tan Dao to help the soldiers to leave the customs. At the same time, he received Deng Xiang and blocked the Huguan on the side of Taihang Mountain.
In this way, it is impossible for Feng to regret sending troops to support Bingzhou.
It's just that there are 20,000 defenders in Bingzhou, and the city is tall. If you seize the city by force, you can't do it in a short time, so Lu Qiang ordered the people of Zhifengtang to come to the fifth floor of Gongsun.
This can be said to be a manifestation of Lu Qiang's extreme self-confidence. At the same time, it can also be said that he is gambling and gambling that Gongsun will eventually fall to him.
The footsteps of the Gongsun brothers shocked the spy of Zhifengtang, who was sitting quietly tasting tea. His name was Feng Ping, and he was the general manager of Zhifengtang in charge of external affairs.
He stood up early, held his fist and saluted Gongsun on the fifth floor: "The villain Feng Ping, I have seen General Gongsun"
Gongsun looked up and down at Feng Ping on the fifth floor and couldn't help wondering. Is this really the person sent by the Jin Dynasty?
Although he had some doubts, he said politely, "Mr. Feng, please sit down. I don't know what Mr. Feng is doing?"
Feng Ping smiled and said, "I heard that General Gongsun is wise and must have guessed his identity. Yes, he is indeed from the State of Jin." Speaking of this, he took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to the fifth floor of Gongsun.
"This is a handwritten letter from Your Majesty to General Gongsun. Please have a look."
A handwritten letter from the emperor of the Jin Dynasty?
Gongsun's fifth floor became nervous, subconsciously wiped his hands on his clothes, and then respectfully took the secret letter with both hands, opened it and read it carefully.
"I heard that General Gongsun is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness. Now I want to unify the heavenly soldiers to expel Hu's fugiers and recreate the Han people in the world. Can the general help me?"
The letter is not very long, and there is no official's wish on it, but it shows a sincere heart.
After Gongsun Gui looked behind his brother, he couldn't help saying, "If my brother obeys the Jin Dynasty, what official position can the emperor of the Jin Dynasty give my brother?"
In fact, this is not what Gongsun Fifth Floor also wants to ask, but it's just a little embarrassed to speak.
Feng Ping smiled and said, "Your Majesty said that if General Gongsun can have a deep understanding of justice, he should be appointed by the governor of the state to unify the old Yan land"
"Should I take it seriously?"
You should know that Gongsun Fifth Floor is just a general of Bingzhou now, which can't govern Bingzhou, and once he becomes the governor of Bingzhou and governs the old land of Yan, how big it will be! I'm afraid that the land north of Luoyang will be under his jurisdiction.
Feng Ping nodded and said, "General Gongsun should know that your majesty has always said what he has always said. Once the general turns on and let our army into the city, the formal appointment will come down."
"Brother, what are you waiting for?"
As soon as Gongsun Gui's words fell, Feng Ping said, "I'm afraid the two generals don't know that Murong Yun, the Lord of Yan, has been murdered by Feng Ba. Feng Ba wants to stand on his own, but he is afraid that his majesty will fight against him, so he has promised Shangdang and Bingzhou to my majesty and Tuoba Gui respectively. He wants to restrain our Jin army with Tuoba Gui. I don't think it is no need to In a few days, Tuoba Kui's people are about to be killed."
Hearing the news, the Gongsun brothers were shocked and understood why the imperial envoys hurried to the State of Wei.
Gongsun looked at his brother on the fifth floor and turned back to Feng Ping and said, "Please reply to your majesty. The fifth floor is willing to serve your majesty to death."
As soon as Lu Qiang entered Luoyang, Fengping's flying pigeon biography arrived. While reporting to Lu Qiang that he had completed the task, he mentioned it by the way.
"Gongsun is extremely utilitarian, please use it carefully"
After Lu Qiang saw it, he quietly burned the secret letter to ashes. What kind of person is not in the world? The key depends on how you use him. Moreover, although the governors of the imperial court can mobilate troops, they must go through several layers of approval, and will not give them a chance to support their troops and self-respect.
Yan has not been completely calmed down. Gongsun's fifth floor will be an exception for the time being, but it is only temporary.
Tan Daoji had previously led 50,000 horses to station around Luoyang. Lu Qiang's southern tour was accompanied by 100,000 troops. At this time, he no longer needed to explain to anyone. He returned to Luoyang in this form to announce to the world.
The Jin court has returned to the Central Plains.
As Emperor Lu Qiang entered Luoyang, the people of Luoyang rejoiced again. In the empty alley, people welcomed the Han emperor of the Central Plains, and some old people even shed tears.
For more than 100 years, the Han emperor has returned to the land occupied by aliens. What an exciting thing! And this day will also be permanently recorded in history.
Lu Qiang came directly to Luoyang Palace, which has been repaired by Sun Hu, the walls have been painted new, and the door has been painted vermilion.
The palace wall is straight and majestic, and everything symbolizes a new beginning.
Lu Qiang pedaled on the palace wall to receive the people's cheers and worship, and then officially issued an order to inform the world that the court would move from Jiankang to Luoyang and change the second year of Tai'an to the first year of the new Qi.
Wang Shenai and other harem did not follow the harem this time because the child was too young.
After the new capital was determined, Lu Qiang issued several orders to pardon the world, taking the eldest son Sima Tong as the crown prince, and awarding the title to the previous minister of the dragon. At the same time, he appointed Sun Hu as the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Duan Zichang as Luoyang Yin and so on.
And the imperial decree of appointing Gongsun Fifth Floor as the governor of Bingzhou was also issued, which was regarded as the trembling of Gongsun Fifth Floor.
At this time, Feng Hong was still waiting in Luoyang, but of course Lu Qiang would not see him. Not only that, Lu Qiang also ordered people to deport him. The reason was that the Jin court only had a relationship with Murong of the State of Yan. The traitors like Feng did not kill him directly, which gave Feng a lot of face.
Feng Hong is completely stupid now. How can the emperor of the Jin Dynasty change his face faster than turning over the book? Wasn't it fine before?
But who else will answer him at this time? Fortunately, he finally saved his life. In panic, he immediately returned to Zhongshan, but he didn't know that Zhongshan had also made a mess at this time.
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is always cruel.
After Feng Ba killed Murong Yun, although he ascended the throne of the emperor as he wished, the courtiers did not support him as much as he thought. First of all, Liu Mu jumped out against him and was killed by him, and then some generals loyal to Murong defected with their own men.
At this time, Murong De, who received the news of Murong Yun's death, became emperor in Guanggu, did not recognize the court established by Feng Ba at all, and called on the Murong clans everywhere to resist the Feng family together.
This Murong De belongs to the fish that leaked the net when Feng's last cleanseminated Murong's family. Feng Ba is not unwilling to deal with him, but Murong De is the strongest among Murong's, and it is not so easy to eliminate it, and the time for Feng's usurpation of the throne is getting tighter and tight, so he is temporarily letting him go.
However, Murong De's life was not very good, that is, the emperor's throne died within a few days, and then his adopted son Murong Chao took over his regime.
After taking over the godfather's power, Murong Chao immediately launched the banner of suppressing rebellion and revenge for the former emperor, and prepared to attack Zhongshan.
Feng Ba controlled most of the army of the State of Yan at this time, so he did not pay attention to Murong Chao and was preparing to send troops to fight, but when Feng Hong returned, he did not dare to act rashly.
At this time, Feng Ba was completely confused. Isn't the emperor of the Jin Dynasty afraid that the world will laugh at him?
Originally, it was expected that the Wei army would come in to confront the Jin Dynasty. Now it's okay. The general of Bingzhou surrendered directly to the Jin Dynasty. Needless to ask, with the presence of the Jin army, the Wei army could not come in at all.
The situation is indeed as Feng Ba thought. After receiving the news, Tuoba Ji sent people immediately, but before entering Yanmen County, he was stopped outside the Great Wall.
