Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 655 Chaos

Spring has returned to Luoyang, but the cold wind is still blowing in Liangzhou.

After Yao Chang was wiped out, Liangzhou was in a very strange state.

The nobles had both expectations and some resistance to the Liang Kingdom. The expectation was because Liang paid more attention to the Guanxi nobles and expressed goodwill through Xue Qiang and Pei Jian. The imperial court also specially granted favors to the Guanxi nobles and absorbed their elites. Temple.

The resistance was because Wang Meng's bold move really made them a little afraid.

After all, it has been two or three generations since I moved to Liangzhou and I have already taken root. I don’t want to bother anymore.

However, Liangzhou's final move still depends on Fu Ya.

If Fu Ya wants to refuse the imperial appointment, there are many ways. As long as he does not openly rebel or ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, Liang will not be able to care about Liangzhou in the short term until Guanzhong recovers its strength.

Many tribes and local powerful men secretly persuaded Fu Yaming to serve the Liang Kingdom and plot to separatist rule.

He also used the example of the three defeats of the Zhang clan in Qianliang at the Shihu battle. Although Liang was strong, it would not be able to conquer Liangzhou for a while, so there was no need to surrender in such a hurry.

"This is obviously to reduce the general's military power. If he doesn't have military power, wouldn't he be at the mercy of others? Why don't we show that Lu Shui is causing chaos and should not be moved lightly." Mao Sheng was indignant.

"We conquered Liangzhou, why should we give it up?"

"We have been fighting for more than ten years, and my father, son, and brothers are all in the army. Now the court wants us to separate. How can this be justified in the world?"

The generals were also extremely reluctant.

Submitting to the Liang Kingdom does not mean giving up everything.

The vast majority of people just want to rely on the power of the Liang State to overcome internal and external difficulties, and then separate themselves from Hexi, respect the Liang State, listen to the instructions but not the propaganda, and continue to live happily in Liangzhou as a local emperor.

"As long as His Highness nods, Samana, Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qianghu are all willing to lend a helping hand!" Mao Sheng's eyes glowed.

The monks provided money and food, the ministries provided soldiers, and with the 30,000 horses on hand, they were able to defend Liangzhou and block the Liang army east of the Yellow River.

Fu Ya glanced at everyone very calmly, "It is the powerful nobles who decide where Liangzhou will go. They didn't nod. What's the use of Samana and these barbarians? Besides, how long do you think we can be at peace? Who is Wang Meng? Who is Murong Chui? Also? If any of you thinks you can defeat them, I will hand over the military power to him."

"This..." Mao Sheng was speechless on the spot.

No matter how arrogant someone is, they would not dare to say that they can deal with Wang Meng and Murong Chui, not to mention that there are other people such as Xue Qiang and Wei Shan in Guanzhong.

Fu Luo and Yao Chang were much crazier than them at first, but in the blink of an eye they were dead and in different places.

Moreover, the attitude of the powerful nobles was ambiguous, and they really rebelled. As soon as the Black Cloud Army arrived, these people stuck their butts out, arched their heads, and were the first to surrender, which made Fu Ya not a human being inside and outside.

Fu Ya was very aware of the powerful behavior of these nobles.

"The imperial court has promoted the sons and daughters to the Black Cloud Army. They will be divided into fields and houses. They will all have a good home. Why bother to resist in this corner? Without the support of the imperial court, you think you can establish a foothold in Liangzhou with these 30,000 troops? Samana is unreliable. The barbarians are unreliable, and the powerful nobles are even more unreliable. Now that you have voluntarily surrendered to the imperial court, you can all find a good background. I have said this, those who would like to follow can stay, and those who do not follow can go!"

Fu Ya still looked at everyone with a calm expression.

Even he has this attitude. Even if others are unwilling, they don't have the ability.

General Liang Xi said: "I'm afraid that if we want to surrender, but the barbarians in Liangzhou don't want to, and the Shamen and barbarians collude with each other, there will be chaos in Liangzhou."

Liang Xi was also a Di chieftain in Lueyang, and had the same clan as Liang Pinglao and Liang Cheng. However, he did not have much hostility towards the Liang Kingdom. The two countries fought each other, and each was his own master. He died on the battlefield and could not blame others.

The most important needs of powerful people are survival and continuation. Returning to the Liang Kingdom can continue the family.

Fu Ya said: "Those who want to rebel will do so sooner or later. Now Murong Chui is on his way with eight thousand elites, and the king's governor is ready to help Hexi. Without the support of the powerful nobles, these people will not be able to succeed, and they can add more to you." These merits are the foundation for advancement."

Liangzhou has long been like a volcano that is about to erupt. Fuya rejected the attempts of Samana and Zhuhu to win over and chose the imperial court. Rebellion from various forces was inevitable. The ascetics can choose Fu Ya or others. Most of the barbarians in Hexi believe in ascetics.

The Liang Kingdom destroyed Buddhism, and the monks were greatly frightened. They were the most unwilling forces in Liangzhou to submit to the Liang Kingdom.

As long as they are connected in series, various forces can join forces.

But the problem will be solved sooner or later.

Fu Ya had been delaying for more than two months, and she had to give the court an answer no matter what. The memorial had already been sent to General Zhengxi's mansion, and Wang Meng wrote back, telling him not to worry about it, and to do whatever he wanted.

Only with Wang Meng's guidance could Fu Ya be so calm.

"I would like to submit to the imperial court!" Everyone looked at me and at you, and finally agreed.

One is because of Fu Ya's prestige, the other is that the imperial court's rewards are pretty good and everyone is taken care of, and the third is that Murong Chui and Wang Meng are watching covetously from behind...

"Then let the news out and summon Suo, Jia, Zhang, Yin, Guo, Huangfu and others to come to discuss the matter." Fu Ya waved his hand with a tired look on his face.

In fact, even without the imperial edict, Fu Ya was prepared to resign and live a peaceful life for a few years.

It is not easy to survive in these troubled times.

"Wei!" The generals handed over their hands, reaching a consensus.

As soon as the news spread, the people of Guzang breathed a sigh of relief, and the powerful nobles also breathed a sigh of relief.

But some are happy and some are sad.

There are many different forces in Liangzhou, Hu and Xia are intertwined, and there are many people who are unwilling to surrender to Daliang.

Just when Fu Ya announced his complete surrender to the imperial court, local rebellions broke out as expected.

Kang Ning, the governor of Xiping, killed Qiang Xi, the governor of Huanghe, gathered a crowd of 20,000 people, called himself the King of the Huns, and formed an alliance with Tuyuhun further west.

Bald-haired Sifu Dang summoned all the Xianbei tribes in Hexi and called himself the Great Chanyu. He raised 40,000 troops and went west to attack Dunhuang.

Lu Shui, Hu Juqu and Luo Chou also raised troops, calling themselves Jin Liangzhou Mu and General, and called on the powerful nobles of Liangzhou to resist the Liang Kingdom.

Wang Mu, the governor of Jiuquan, supported Zhang's descendants and wanted to restore Qianliang.

In addition to these big forces, there are also many small tribes that attack and annex each other.

Liangzhou, which had been peaceful for many years, suddenly fell into chaos, and all conflicts broke out.

Among them, the most powerful Bald Si Futan also asked Dai Guo for help.

Baldness is the homophone of Tuoba. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tuoba Jiefen, the leader of the Xianbei Suo family, died of illness. The eldest son Tuoba Pigu and his legitimate son Tuoba struggled to compete for the throne. Tuoba Pigu was defeated and led his tribe to flee to the west of the river. Established another tribe and changed his surname to Bald Hair.

At the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, Qin Liang rebelled. For nine years, the bald tree function that gave Sima Yan trouble sleeping and eating was his ancestor.

There were a lot of people in Xianbei, Hexi Province. Bald-haired Sifuzhen raised the banner, and many tribes in Liangzhou responded with great momentum.

On the grassland, Tuoba Shi Yijian couldn't wait to join the chaos.

Liangzhou's population, money and food are also the objects he covets.

However, despite the chaos, the attitude of several major noble families in Liangzhou was somewhat ambiguous. They neither responded to the Hu people's rebellion nor supported Fu Ya...
