Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 914 Han Dynasty

"This...according to what King Jiangdu said, this war was caused by Chen Qing. This is very difficult to handle."

Because it was specially marked as a memorial related to the war situation in Youzhou, this memorial from King Jiangdu was directly brought to Liu Dai. After flipping through it, it was immediately clear that the content was a letter of complaint.

The person suing in this letter was naturally Chen Zhi.

This letter was written before Lu Zhi went north. At that time, Lu Zhi went to Youzhou, and his target was Wang Jun, not Chen Zhi. As soon as the people here left, the letter from the King of Jiangdu was already written, and he went directly to Sent to Luoyang.

The content of this memorial is based on the situation that King Jiangdu knew at the time, including that Wang Jun raised troops and attacked Dai in three directions. It seems that a battle broke out at the junction of Dai County and Fanyang County. When King Jiangdu wanted to come, , since Youzhou had the upper hand, it was written directly on it.

In addition to venting his anger over the past losses he suffered in Buddhist criticism, his memorial also had the intention of showing favor to Wang Jun. Therefore, the content presented in it can be said to be one-sided.

Such a scene immediately made the two princes who were still trying to win over Chen Yong and Yang Jie frown and feel quite troubled.

You must know that they are wooing Yang and Chen for political considerations. Whether it is fighting for power or consolidating power, having two Jiuqing-level figures join them can be said to be a huge help. But compared with the two of them, King Jiangdu cannot be underestimated either, because he is one of the few clans that directly holds military power.

Although King Jiangdu can be said to be as cowardly as a dog in Jizhou, he has real soldiers, and there are many of them. He also has a stable logistics base, which is not far from the capital. In the eyes of people in the capital, It is a very important foreign aid force.

You must know that the reason why the prince left Luoyang in the first place was because he wanted to come back again, accumulate strength, and then point his sword at Luoyang.

Although after he arrived in the eastern part of Jizhou, after a lot of troubles, all the people who originally made suggestions were tossed away, but a new team was built. The reason why he is so cowardly and blindly on the defensive now is actually because he is afraid of fighting with Shi Le. In the end, all the men and horses were exhausted, and the opportunity to compete for Luoyang in the future was lost.

In the final analysis, the original intention of King Jiangdu was not to pacify Jizhou, but to use it to incubate power. Because of this, although Shi Le gradually grew bigger, except for Zu Ti who had already established a foothold, King Jiangdu would always Prevent others from being sent to Jizhou.

Now that his opinion has been conveyed, whether it is for the purpose of winning over or not wanting to make enemies, the two princes must consider it seriously.

Yang Jie and Chen Yong are also aware of this. They thought the situation was under control just now and did not intend to say anything. After all, they wanted to avoid suspicion. Moreover, they knew that Chen Zhi was prepared and might not be completely defeated. If he finally supported him, , and the imperial court approved the proposal, and really gave the title of Youzhou Governor. In the future, the Northern Expedition General plus the Youzhou Governor, the two identities combined, it is not impossible to fight steadily with Wang Jun to compete for Youzhou hegemony!

Moreover, in the eyes of the two of them, this is a sure thing. After all, the root cause of the current political ups and downs is the struggle for power between the two princes. If the two of them agree on one thing at the same time, how can it change?As it turned out, it turned out that changes were indeed possible.

But seeing a memorial from King Jiangdu, fearing that it would ruin all the previous situations, Yang Jie and Chen Yong finally couldn't stand anymore. They looked at each other and wanted to say a few words.

But at this moment, Zhang Ying took a step forward and said: "This memorial from King Jiangdu proves that the previous military intelligence report is not false. In this case, the top priority is to calm down the matter first. As for the final outcome, Let’s wait until after the war to discuss who is responsible for development. In comparison, the proposal to grant General Chen the governor of Youzhou is a bit too hasty. Besides, General Chen has only been in office for less than three years. Many people outside say that he rose through the ranks and is now the governor of a county, and even has the title of General of the Northern Expedition. He is responsible for military and political affairs. If he becomes the governor again, his promotion speed will be really shocking."

As soon as these words came out, even the emperor, who had doubts about the content of the memorial, couldn't help but nod subconsciously.

Liu Dai deliberately favored Chen Zhi. After all, his relationship with King Jiangdu was actually far away and he had not had much contact with him. He was closer to Chen Zhi. However, it was a memorial to the clan after all, so he had to express his feelings. After listening to Zhang Ying's words, he felt Being impartial is a mature and prudent saying, so I decided to deal with it first according to this statement. If it didn't work, I recalled Chen Zhi——

After all, the emperor also knew some military affairs, and knew about the battle between states and counties. The chance of the county winning was too small, so he still thought it was better to be competent and wanted to help.

But Yang Jie and Chen Yong were shocked. They immediately smelled the evil intentions in these words, and their eyes turned gloomy when they looked at Zhang Ying.

You know, these words sound pertinent, but when combined with the previous situation, it is clearly a huge favoritism, because according to the tone set by the two princes, the responsibility for this battle lies with Wang Jun, regardless of whether he wins or loses in the end. , this blame must be shouldered, but on the other hand, even in the worst case, Chen Zhi can come back calmly, without taking responsibility, and continue to advance in his official career, with just some twists and turns.

But now that Zhang Ying is doing this, it is equivalent to saying that he will wait for the results of the battle to come out.

What will the outcome of the battle be? Can these people not have any idea?
Even if he was optimistic about Chen Zhi, the objective difference still existed. He felt that the best situation was just a tie, and Chen Zhi could barely maintain Daijun.

Well, he is barely in position here. You, Zhang Ying, turn around and say, according to the information provided by King Jiangdu, you, General Zhengbei, are the culprit that caused the war. I am afraid that he will be suppressed directly.

Not to mention, the following sentence about being promoted too quickly will directly block Chen Zhi's path to a quick rise to the top!

Nowadays, among the children of aristocratic families and high-quality people, there are a few who are taking small steps. Which one is not promoted too quickly?This is just a lie to the emperor. Who would believe it if he were a bureaucrat from an aristocratic family?
Seeing that the emperor was about to take the bait, Yang Jie couldn't sit still. He took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, based on common sense, Chen Zhi is not the head of a county. Although he has the title of General of the Northern Expedition, he won the title It hasn't been long, how can he be the enemy of the two governors? Besides, Wang Sima has many positions and is very powerful. I think Chen Zhi will definitely not provoke his superiors as long as he has a clear mind. When the court wants to intervene in this matter, he must first clarify the pros and cons. Black and white, we can act impartially. It is better to send people to investigate and warn both sides, order both sides to cease their troops, make their own statements, and then make a decision. This can also calm the war. If one side is unwilling, it is against the will of the superior. Who is Who knows better."
