Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 588 Conspiracy

After the court meeting dispersed, Quan Yi left the palace and got into his carriage.

No matter how many scholars and people in Guanzhong rode horses, Quan Yi was the only one who liked to ride in cars.

The exterior decoration of the carriage is ordinary, but the interior is covered with Sichuan brocade, inlaid with gold threads, and lit with incense burners. The fragrant aroma inside is refreshing.

Quan Yi is not fond of women, but loves money and luxury.

Therefore, there is a saying in Guanzhong that "it is better to be poor than to be rich and powerful".

The carriage drove out two streets and turned into an alley. It stopped for a moment, and a person quickly ran into the carriage and closed the door curtain.

"Greetings, sir." The person who came was Yao Chang's younger brother Yao Xu.

In the dim carriage, Quan Yi's eyes were glowing, "If anyone discovers this matter, the Yao family may be in danger of annihilating the three clans!"

"Sir, you are worrying too much. As long as the Yao family is here, you will have your glory and wealth!"

"Prosperity and wealth? It's too early to say this. The King of Heaven has great ambitions. If the innovation is successful, he will be able to stand on three pillars. After 30 or [-] years, it is said that he will not be able to dominate the world." Quan Yi sarcastically said.

Yao Xu laughed, "Twenty or thirty years later, the Yao family has become even more different than before. On the order of my brother, I informed Mr. Longyou that all the 30 Qiang people in Longyou are willing to accept Yao family as their sect leader!"

The reputation of Yao Yizhong and Yao Xiang for decades has been added to Yao Chang.

Guanzhong has the largest population of Qiang and Jin people, and with the support of the Qiang tribe in Longxi, Yao Xiang has already matured.

In fact, sometimes Quan Yi didn't understand Fu Jian very much. He knew that the Yao family was a great threat and had a blood feud with the Fu family, but he still entrusted him with important tasks.

Fu Jian confided in others, but others only wanted to take away his foundation.

The Qiang people hold grudges the most.

"Fish feed on grass heads, sheep lie on the soil. Sure enough, there is some truth to it. However, you must not forget the last two sentences. The sword comes out of the mountains and rivers, cuts off the barriers and breaks the locks." Quan Yi's feelings towards Fu Jian and Yao Chang Very complicated.

Fu Jian regarded Quan Yi as his mentor and treated him with great courtesy.

But Yao Chang was his old master, and Yao Xiang was also good to Quan Yi back then.

Therefore, he should not offend either party and try to maintain it as much as possible.

However, he advised Fu Jian to make internal reforms and cut down his own foundation, which was not entirely a bad thing. If Fu Jian could continue to implement it, it would not be a big problem to block the Liang Kingdom. If Fu Jian became stronger, the Yao family might not dare to move.

"I don't need to worry about this matter. Guanxi is the Guanxi of the Qiang people. The worst that happens is that my Yao family will retreat to Longyou and Longnan, or Hanzhong or Shuzhong. The world is so big, where can we go? Who cares about the affairs of the world? Do you know everything? Destiny is unpredictable, and victory or defeat depends on people! See you later, sir, take care." Yao Xu held up his hand, jumped out of the moving carriage, and disappeared into the dark alley.

Quan Yi lowered his head and thought for a long time before letting out a long sigh.

Back in the mansion, a pile of brocade, gold and jade shone in the middle of the courtyard, with more than a hundred people surrounding him in a circle with their backs to him.

Quan Yi stroked the smooth brocade inch by inch from bottom to top, his eyes filled with intoxication. The heavy gold and jade made him feel extremely at ease.

This was the reward Yao Chang gave him, to do as he pleased.

After a long time, Quan Yi sighed deeply, "Immediately send these belongings to the palace and dedicate them to the King of Heaven. It is my little thought to help the King of Heaven to reform."

"Wei!" The attendant stood aside and accepted the order.

Quan Yi looked at Jin Bo reluctantly, still feeling uneasy, "Forget it, I'd better go there myself."

Jiangdong.

Huan Wen's Feiyunlou ship led more than a thousand warships into Ruxu and docked in the water village.

"Brother, Liang Guo sent [-] black cloud cavalry to attack the Tuoba clan in Mobei!" Huan Chong greeted them from the shore with a happy face.

Jiangdong has been clamoring for the Northern Expedition for so long, but there has been no movement. "Recently, Fu Jian also advised me to send troops to contain the Liang thieves." Huan Wen slowly walked down the boat, surrounded by more than a hundred soldiers carrying gold melons and axes, and a green spear standing behind him.

Although Huan Wen did not usurp the throne, his pomp did not diminish at all.

"Liang Guo has about 15 elite troops, and they must be guarded in all directions. There are more than [-] elites in Liaodong, more than [-] in Youzhou, tens of thousands in Jianghuai, and tens of thousands in Hedong. Now there are [-] cavalry sent out to attack Dai. The remaining elites in Ye should be [-]. Up and down! If my brother sends troops to Hefei, there will be great potential!" Huan Chong sincerely wanted to make the Northern Expedition.

Among Huan Wen's brothers, Huan Chong was the most loyal to the public and had a harmonious relationship with the Jiangdong court.

"Why send troops to Hefei?" Huan Wen stepped on the shore and swayed, being supported by Xi Chao and Zhu Yao behind him.

Huan Chong was stunned by this question.

"Da Sima intends to regain Wan and Luo, what do you think?" Xi Chao explained.

The troops sent to Hefei were really for Jiangdong, while the troops to Wan and Luo were purely for the sake of face and to usurp the throne in the future...

Even if Wancheng and Luoyang are captured, can they hold it?
At that time, Li Nong's [-] cavalry frightened Chu Su's [-] "elite" troops into fear. They voluntarily abandoned Pengcheng, Shouchun and other strategic places, and indirectly killed [-] people who went south to seek refuge in Jiangdong.

Now there are [-] Heiyun elites in Yecheng. In the battle in Hefei, they have the advantage of inside lines. Food, grass and reinforcements can be quickly supported by water channels.

But if we fight in Wancheng or Luoyang, if we lose, we will not be able to escape.

"It's better to think more carefully about this matter. Taking Hefei and severely damaging the northern captives is also a great achievement." Huan Chong advised.

Huan Wen laughed and said: "Haha, Maidelang is overly worried. It is a lie for the Liang thieves to attack Tuoba Shi Yijian from the north, but it is true that he deceives me to go north. I also pretend to attack him. One of them falsely responds to Fu Jian, and the other two restrains Liang." thief."

Liang Jun's Northern Expedition to Dai State, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

According to common sense, it is impossible to send troops at this time.

And even if [-] horsemen go to the grassland, what can they do?
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu, when did he send out more than [-] troops?
So it's probably a ploy to lure the enemy.

In fact, even if it was not a trick to lure the enemy, Huan Wen would not dare to launch the Northern Expedition.

Huan Wen was frightened by the clamor and the fighting with real swords and spears. If he loses again, Jiangdong will lose completely.

learn from mistakes.

Huan Wen, who holds the most power, knows the current situation of the Jin State best. Hefei was defeated a few years ago, and most of his life has been lost. He has not yet been able to breathe. Although his strength has been restored, the time for the Northern Expedition is far from coming.

Even if we want to launch the Northern Expedition, we have to wait until the Qin and Liang Kingdoms really start fighting.

"I see, it's my brother's profound knowledge of the art of war!" Huan Chong breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that Huan Wen would rush forward regardless of everything.

"This is because the guests saw through Liang Thief's intentions!" Huan Wen said with a smile.

Xi Chao repeatedly raised his hand, "Don't dare, I just mentioned it, Da Sima realized it immediately."

"The outstanding virtues of Xi Jinping are unparalleled by Wang Wendu in Jiangdong. Wang Tan is mediocre and unparalleled in Jiangdong, but Xi Jinping is the only one!" Huan Chong praised him greatly.

"I don't deserve your compliments." Xi Chao was neither arrogant nor impetuous.

Huan Wen said: "Although it is a feint attack, we must use all our strength. I came to Jianghuai here to put pressure on the Liang thieves. I am here. The Liang thieves must think that they will take Hefei and send their troops south. Langzi can lead his troops north and pretend to attack Wancheng." , share Fu Jian’s pressure.”

Langzi is Huanhuo's cousin.

"In this way, Jiangdong is worry-free!" Huan Chong smiled while stroking his hands.

Twenty thousand sailors disembarked one after another and lined up on the shore.

There are many people wearing armor, at least one set of leather armor, with swords and spears like a forest, and they are quite imposing.
