Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1100 The North-South Struggle

This man with a long sword hanging from his waist is the former governor of Yangzhou and now the governor of Jiangzuo, Wang Dun.

Wang Dun was born in the Wang family of Langya, and relied on his family background and his own planning to continuously climb the ranks. A few years ago, he even won the position of governor of a place and took power in Yangzhou.

If we follow the normal trajectory and serve as governor in a local area, and after accumulating sufficient qualifications and political achievements, we will move towards the central government.

However, the Wang family of Langya already had a layout in the court, and Wang Dun's brother Wang Dao was well-known in the court. Therefore, Wang Dun's main purpose was to operate in the local area, and it was also for the Wang family to plan a new path for themselves.

There is Xuzhou between Yangzhou and Qingzhou, which is widely involved in merchants and many interests. According to Wang's plan, after Wang Dun established his position in Yangzhou, he consolidated the connection between the Wang family and Jiangzuo. Then he could seek greater benefits. At that time, there was chaos in the north, and there were many signs of it. So after Wang thought about it, he wanted Wang Dun to stay in Yangzhou for a long time, so he made plans for him.

Yangzhou, a place that guarded the main road between the north and the south, was actually the foundation of the southern country.

Wang Dun also had means. He had been the governor of Yangzhou for several years, and his influence was not only in government affairs, but also in military affairs.

After doing this for many years, it was time to leave office. Unexpectedly, the world suddenly changed, and beacon smoke was rising everywhere. Now, Yangzhou, which guarded the north and south, suddenly became important, especially as the north became more and more important. When chaos occurs, the relatively stable land of Jiangzuo becomes a very important source of wealth, and the position of Yangzhou governor becomes even more important.

Wang Dun decisively seized the opportunity, allowing himself and the Langya Wang family to deepen their influence, and firmly grasped military power.

Nowadays, the situation in Jiangzuo is getting complicated. It is said that Tao Kan is seriously ill, and the military figures in Jiangzuo are gradually declining, which highlights Wang Dun's strength.

Wang Dun was able to take it up and let it go. When the situation was at its most chaotic, he actually voluntarily left his position as governor and concentrated on taking charge of the military. So after the arrival of Langya King Liu Gai, Wang Dun officially became the governor of Jiangzuo. , commanded the southern troops and horses, and became a figure who could go to the palace with swords and shoes in front of King Langya.

Even though he was facing the leaders of Jiangzuo and Wudi, Wang Dun still retorted without fear.

But as soon as he said his words, most of the people present immediately glared at him.

There are actually two major groups gathered in the palace. Some are like Wang Dun, representatives of the gentry from the north. They either come here to serve, or they have plans in the south due to the chaos in the north; The other part is the Jiangnan gentry represented by Gu Rong. These gentry are also divided, there are those from the south and the north, and there are those who came south with Zhaolie.

During the New Han Dynasty, the southern gentry already had great power. Both in influence and strength, they were superior to those in the north. However, Emperor Xuanwu moved the capital to the north for the sake of balance. This created a group of rising northern gentry. , but it also planted the seeds of the dispute between the North and the South.

When the world was at peace, the dispute between the north and the south was a tool used by the ruling decision-makers to restrict each other. Now that wars are going on everywhere, this dispute has become a rift and a trigger.

Wang Dun's words suddenly ignited the arrogance of the southern nobles, and they all worked hard to compete with this northern scholar.

"The Wang family of Langya is really amazing. Even after coming to the south, you are still so arrogant. I don't know, I thought you had already defeated the stone thief!"

"Do any of your noble families in the north have anything to offer? Come and live in our territory, and you dare to show off your power."

"Yes, the king is here and can be a witness. Let the nobles in the North tell you what I, a big man, should do. Should I rely on you to fight back to the North, or should I rely on me to rebuild the world!"

The words of the people in the south were sarcastic, and even King Langya, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but look a little ugly.

After all, not only was this clan member from the north, but his mother was also from the Langya Wang family. Because of this, he was helped by the Wang family. After traveling from Qingzhou via Xuzhou to Jiangzuo, he was able to be supported.

Of course, King Langya was not the only one who felt offended. There were also many representatives of the Northland aristocratic families, mainly people from Qingxu and Yanzhou, who also retorted - "Oh? I wonder if the Pengcheng Chen family is considered a Northland aristocratic family?"

"Brother Liu's words are very true. Who can resist Chen's Xuanjia Army in Wu?"

"That's right, the Xiongnu is not the enemy of January, how long will the chaos in the Northland continue?"

As soon as the people in the North mentioned Chen Zhi, the Southern family immediately became a little dumb, but someone immediately said sarcastically that the North could only rely on Chen Zhengbei to maintain a little face.

Others say that the ancestor of the Chen family once traveled south with Zhaolie and was still rooted in Xuzhou. Strictly speaking, he was from the south and had little to do with the north.

Such a quarrel, a good discussion, turned into a big outbreak of North-South conflict in a blink of an eye.

The inexperienced King Langya couldn't care less about his displeasure and eagerly wanted to calm down the quarrel. However, although he spoke out, he couldn't stop everyone from talking.

Just then.

"Everyone, you have misunderstood. My brother cannot speak, but he is not looking down on the princes of the South. He is really anxious about state affairs. Besides, we have to find out what the situation in the Xiongnu country is."

Wang Dun's clan brother Wang Dao spoke, but King Langya's words did not persuade everyone, let alone Wang Dao.

Sure enough, even if the person opened his mouth, it would have no effect.

But the Langya scholar was not anxious. Instead, he said: "I have news here. It is said that the Xiongnu kingdom collapsed. Pinyi was assisted by Pinyi, and many tribes surrendered. When Pingzhou was settled, the Xuanjia Army completely consolidated the border and dominated the three states, becoming the strongest force in the world. Even now, who dares to say that it can defeat Xuanjia? A, more importantly, that Chen Zhengbei is the king’s teacher..."

Quiet!

When Director Wang said the previous things, many people from the uninformed family were also greatly surprised. However, some people had already known about it and did not react at all. But when they heard the end, everyone stopped and revealed their faces. He looked at King Langya with a surprised expression.

The original quarrel suddenly disappeared.

Wang Dun curled his lips, showing a hint of jealousy.

Director Wang smiled slightly, glanced at King Langya who was a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, and continued: "You should also know that General Zhengbei is close to the late emperor, but you don't know that before meeting the late emperor, the general first met with the late emperor. We have friendship with the king, and even accepted him as his student in Qingzhou. With this relationship, the Xuanjia Army can help us in the future, so there is no need to distinguish between north and south!"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and treated King Langya with a little more respect.

At this moment, news came that the Huns in Bingzhou had collapsed, and Liu Cong, Liu Can and his son were both prisoners, and the hall suddenly became quieter.
