Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 408 Zhang Zuo usurped the throne of King Liang
Chapter 412 Zhang Zuo usurped the throne of King Liang

On October [-]th in the fifth year of Yongxing in the Great Wei Dynasty, the sky in Yecheng was clear and full of people.

This day was the day when Ran Min left Yecheng to visit Chang'an.

Before leaving, Zhang Ping gave Ran Min the latest piece of information received by "Deaf and Mute". Thanks Ai.

Originally, Ran Min wanted to put some pressure on Liang Guo, but he never thought that before Wei Guo made a move, Zhang Zuo and Xie Ai would fight first.

Ran Min burst into a hearty laugh, held up the information and said: "It's really God's blessing, I haven't left Yecheng yet, the good news comes first, and the important officials of the Liang Kingdom poured out their hearts on each other. And my subjects in the Great Wei put their hearts into it. It will be successful in no time!"

"Rong and Di disturbed China. Hu, Jie, Di, and Qiang all harbored the intention to usurp the country. The turmoil and chaos continued for ten months. The Jin lost its deer, and the world was chasing each other. The Chinese had no masters. , the god Yuedu is relying on the system, and I will carry out the Datong, Si and Zhaoshu, and we will start together."

Ran Min was promoted as emperor by the 48 ministers who founded the country. It was just a last resort, and it can only be regarded as one of the separatist forces.Even if Guanzhong is regained in one fell swoop, in the eyes of the world, this is Ran Min's last resort, after all, it was Qin who first launched the war.

Ran Min had never shown his determination to unify the world in front of everyone, but now, before the courtiers saw him off, and in front of tens of thousands of people in Yecheng, he announced for the first time that he, Ran Min, would stabilize the world.

As soon as Ran Min finished speaking, tens of thousands of generals and soldiers of the Great Wei Army and hundreds of thousands of civilians went out to patrol for Ran Min, shouting: "Long live the Great Wei, long live the emperor!"

Nearly 20 people shouted loudly in unison, and the sound wave after wave rose straight into the sky.

Listening to Ran Min's impassioned speech, the mouths of General Dong Run, Chariot General Zhang Wen, Hussar General Zhang Yu, Jiang Gan, Shi Ning, Zhang Ai, Cao Fuqu, and other generals almost cracked their ears.

Civil officials like Liu Qun, Zhong Zao, Tiao You, Cui Yue, etc. were also very excited. For the ministers, no merit can compare to the founding of the country.As long as Ran Min sweeps the world down, they can feel proud.

At this time, if we talk about the struggle of the world, the battle of great unification mainly refers to the struggle between Jin and Wei.Because of the chaos in China, the Han family moved south with their families in order to avoid the disaster of war, so they had to travel south with clothes.Even if the whole family moved, the gentry couldn't take it away due to the large amount of real estate and land. In this context, the gentry families kept their concubine sons one after another, and the children who were not welcome in peacetime stayed to look after the housekeeping business. In fact, they let them live on their own. self-destruct.

During the four to fifty years of Yiguan's journey to the south, in the northern land, the Xiongnu people and then the Jie people were in power. These Hu people don't care what your origin is, as long as they want to, they can grab it.

Living under the fence for 50 to [-] years has caused these members of the Liubei branch to have great resentment with the direct branch of Jiangnan.

Due to the sudden rise of Ran Min, these gentry from the northern branch became officials of the Wei state one after another.In terms of the position towards the Jin Dynasty, Ran Min's interests were actually the interests of the northern gentry, the northern branch and the commoner branch.

The dispute between the son and the concubine has always been cruel and ruthless.Because under Confucian etiquette, as bastards, their treatment is not even as good as those favored slaves.Among the descendants and concubines, there is no one in ten who can coexist peacefully.

Conquering the Kingdom of Liang is the first step towards leveling the world, and the ministers began to plan in their hearts. They must completely prevent the descendants from turning over, and it is best to let them die with the Jin Dynasty.

Fortunately, Liu Qun had prepared for a long-term war in terms of grain and grass preparations. Even if Ran Min changed his strategic goals before leaving, Wei Guo didn't need to make too many changes.

On October [-]th, the war machine of the State of Wei was activated again, and countless grains, grasses, various equipment, and supplies began to be continuously transported to Guanzhong.

In addition to Wei State's strategic mobile force, second-rate soldiers from the prefectures have also entered the stage of combat readiness.

Speaking of Yan Guo, because Murong Ke and Murong Chui agreed on a "preemptive strike" strategy, Murong Ke immediately carried out the implementation.The little emperor Murong Ye was seriously ill, and the regent Murong Ke, who held a lot of power in his hand, even coaxed and threatened him to settle Murong Ye.

Immediately, Huangfu, the old scalper of Yan State, was really ready to set off.

One hundred young beauties from the Murong tribe of Xianbei, together with one hundred beauties from Goguryeo, Fuyu, and Sanhan, arrived at Lulong Village with more than [-] carts of belongings, guarded by more than [-] civilian husbands and [-] elite cavalry.

This time, Huangfu was the official envoy to Wei State, and Murong Chui was the deputy envoy.Originally, Murong Chui would not become the deputy envoy, but his son was still imprisoned in the prison in Yecheng. Murong Chui begged Murong Ke, but Murong Ke was frightened by Murong Chui, so he agreed to Murong Chui's request.

Murong Ke agreed to Murong Chui's request, and three days after Murong Chui's departure as the deputy envoy of Yan State's surrender mission.Murong Ke suddenly received a letter from Murong Chui's family.

Murong Chui told Murong Ke in the letter.

Fourth brother, your decision is correct, this is the old plan to make a country.

Asking Wei Guo to surrender is indeed the best way to preserve the Murong Department of Xianbei.However, as the son of Murong Hao, he really didn't want the land that his father had worked so hard to lose in their hands, so he had to make the last effort.

The purpose of his mission to Wei State this time is to fight to the death. If there is a stalemate between the Wei army and the Liang army on the battlefield, he will look for opportunities and wait for the opportunity to make a move. If he succeeds, Dayan is expected to revive, and he can also regain lost ground and rejuvenate Dayan.If it fails, Murong Chui will be pushed out. This letter can prove that this is just Murong Chui's private behavior and has nothing to do with the rest of Dayan.At that time, the fourth brother can bind his wife Duan and his family to the state of Wei to plead guilty.

When Murong Ke saw this letter, he felt chills from head to toe. Although the mission carried a lot of property, Murong Ke had previously ordered them to arrive in Yecheng as quickly as possible.Calculating the time, the Yan State Mission has already set off for three days, and I am afraid that it has already entered Wei territory by this time.Even if they pursue, Murong Chui may launch an attack in advance, which will not only unfairly get Ran Min's forgiveness, but may even lead to Murong Chui's death.

Even if Murong Ke got angry again, there was nothing he could do. In desperation, he had no choice but to quickly gather all the troops of the Yan Kingdom to prepare for Murong Chui.

In order to prevent the State of Wei from discovering Murong Chui's conspiracy in advance, Murong Ke also did strategic deception. He told the leaders of the ministries of the State of Yan that the State of Yan had decided to surrender to the State of Wei. All weapons must be turned in, except for small knives for eating and drinking.

Murong Ke also issued the Regent's Order to make the last statistics of the properties, pastures and households of each ministry, and the statistics will be handed over to the State of Wei.

It has to be said that Murong Ke's strategic deception was very successful. At least Yan Guo's secret agents and "deaf and dumb" secret agents also thought that Yan Guo was preparing to surrender, and they did what they did as if they were surrendering.

Both the Sky Eye spy and the "deaf and dumb" spy Zhao Chang reported the superficial phenomena, and had no real motive to spy on Murong Ke.

The frontier army of Lulongzhai was very excited when they saw Yan's letter of surrender. They didn't have much doubt about the [-] cavalry guards in the mission. I will be jealous when I see it.People die for money, and birds die for food.

In this way, the frontier army of Lulongzhai sealed all the bows, arrows and weapons of the [-] guard cavalry, and sent more than [-] cavalry to accompany them for surveillance.

As long as they dare to undo the seal of the weapon without authorization, they will be punished for the crime of invading Wei.

Murong Chui entered Wei State with the huge convoy of the mission, and entered Wei State. What impressed Murong Chui the most was that Wei State was like a huge construction site at this time, and construction was going on everywhere, repairing the city and repairing the city. , Even if the city is not repaired, the ditches will be dredged before it is completely frozen in early winter.

Wei Guo Murong Chui had been here before, he never thought that in just two years, the changes would be so great.The original numbness is no longer visible on the faces of the Han people, and instead they are positive.

At this time, Wei State had entered the war process. Although Ran Min's holy driver was slowly advancing towards Chang'an, Wei State's strategic mobile troops began to rapidly advance towards the Liang-Wei border.At the same time, Ran Min sent Chang Wei, an ace diplomat, to take Wei Guo as an envoy to Liang Guo.

It is not so much a letter of credence as an ultimatum.Liang State must give Wei State a fair account at the end of October, otherwise, Ran Min will lead one hundred thousand Wei troops to seek justice in person.

Any diplomatic means are far less convincing than strength.Ran Min's letter of credence had not yet arrived in Ayang, but the Canglang Battalion, Gale Wind Battalion, and Sujie Army of the Wei Foreign Corps had already arrived in Ayang first.

The Canglang Camp is dominated by the Huns, the Haifeng Camp is dominated by Duanbu Xianbei, and the Sujie Army is dominated by Fuyu and Goguryeo.Marutu bow cavalry is the main force, and this is the only three armies of the Wei State that are not dominated by the Han army.

When the vanguard of the Wei army arrived in Ayang, the first person to know the news was not Zhang Zuo, who held the ruling power of Liang, but Xie Ai.

However, it was also because Wei Guo came too fast that Xie Ai dispelled the idea of ​​attacking Zhang Zuo by force.

In fact, at this time, Xie Ai was not in Dunhuang, but under Zhang Zuo's nose.

The five and ten years of Yongxing in the Great Wei Dynasty, the ten years of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the second year of Jingxing in Yan State.Ma Shi Ma, Queen Mother of Liang Kingdom, followed Wei Ji's advice and ordered Zhang Yaoling to be abolished as Marquis of Liang Ning, and Zhang Zuo Liang Wang was established.

On the day when the edict was issued, Zhang Zuo proclaimed the title of emperor and changed Yuan Heping.Jiawen and Wujue each rank one level, following their great ancestors as King Wu, ancestor Zhang Shi as King Zhao, ancestor Zhang Mao as King Cheng, father Zhang Jun as King Wen, and younger brother Zhang Chonghua as King Ming.He made his wife Xin the queen, his younger brother Zhang Tianxi the king of Changning, his son Zhang Taihe the prince, Zhang Tingjian the king of Jiankang, and Zhang Yaoling's younger brother Zhang Xuanliang the Marquis of Liangwu.

After the enthronement ceremony was held, Zhang Zuo held a banquet in Qianguang Hall.According to the original historical trend, after Zhang Zuo killed Xie Ai, he would kill Zhang Yaoling again.Because Xie Ai was on guard, Zhang Zuo naturally had no chance to kill Xie Ai again.

At the same time, in Gu Zang Linglong Zhai, Xie An and General Wei were engaged in the visit, the confidant general Zhao Feng, the capital Yan Zhen, the leader of "Blue Eyes" Jia Ling, Hu Niang and several others were discussing secretly in the secret room.
