Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 941: Clan strife, internal alliances and external enemies

King Jin's ability to become the final winner was not due to luck, nor was it simply due to his decisiveness, ruthless mind, and ability to strike at critical moments. It was due to some planning and lurking.

Previously, when King Donghai left and King Guanghan gained power, some people in the clan complained, but at the same time, more masters had other ideas, so they came to Luoyang one after another to occupy important positions.

Since the emperor was a bit indifferent and was gradually being ignored, it was inevitable that there would be fights for power and profit below. The King of Guanghan was indeed amazing in his methods, and he and the emperor were brothers. So after a series of fights, he repeatedly gained the upper hand and forced away several clan members. Gain the upper hand.

It is worth mentioning that the King of Jiangdu was actually excluded in the early stages of the struggle for power, and his ambition grew as a result, so he went out to take charge of Jizhou's military forces.

But the reason why King Jiangdu had a chance was because of the chaos in Shu, which forced the emperor and the King of Guanghan to go to war, and this period was also the time when many master princes and county kings became more and more motivated, and King Jiangdu was very happy. , the person left, but left hidden dangers and gave other clans an opportunity to take advantage of.

When the King of Guanghan came back to reorganize and eliminate Wucunjing, only a limited number of clans with deep roots were left, namely the King of Ganling and the King of Changsha. As for the King of Jin and others, in the opinion of the King of Guanghan, they were nothing more than It's just attached to the big tree. After all, its foundation has been broken by the Huns, and we don't even think we have any chance.

But at this moment, the King of Jin secretly sent someone to lose his sincerity, and secretly united with King Guanghan to inform the secrets of King Ganling and others, and in exchange for the promise of King Guanghan to help him regain the county of Bingzhou, even if he could not To retake Bingzhou, we have to find a good place as a fiefdom.

After all, the original fiefdom of the Jin Dynasty before Emperor Xuanwu had already been managed by others after 30 years of evolution. The Jin Dynasty parachuted in and had no way to use it. Instead, it was reduced to a puppet, so he took this opportunity to stay in Luoyang. .

Later, the King of Guanghan made an agreement with the King of Jin. After taking over the King of Ganling and the King of Changsha, he would take a county in Jingzhou as a fiefdom with him and start over.

This promise is not trivial.

You must know that the development of the world at this time is not perfect, and there are many obstacles in transportation and communication. The control power of the imperial court is actually limited. Rule the world, so Xuanwu moved the capital to strengthen the control of the north and strengthen the influence on Guanzhong. At the same time, he also left the accompanying capital in Wujun and other places to ensure that Jiangzuo's important land would not be lost.

As for other places, they are relatively isolated, so Wang Jun can separatize Youzhou, and the Li family can be a chaotic land, and many kings with the same surname were conferred at the beginning to eliminate these hidden dangers of separatism.

With this promise, King Guanghan believed that he had grasped the lifeline of King Jin, so he let go of his guard. Later, under the reminder of King Jin, he escaped two assassinations and became more trusting. They all informed the other party so that they could respond.

Of course, this is because King Guanghan felt that he had completely subdued King Jin, so he wanted to show an open-minded mind, and besides this one, he had other secret ways to hide.

"The King of Jin is a double-faced spy. On the one hand, he seems to be a subordinate of the King of Ganling, but on the other hand, he contacts the King of Guanghan and spreads the news. When there is almost no concealment, the King of Guanghan gradually gains the upper hand. In the end, the only time he concealed it was the most important. The fatal incident directly caused the death of King Guanghan, and then he killed King Ganling with his backhand, becoming the biggest winner. If King Changsha hadn't escaped, it could be said to be a complete victory! Such a figure cannot be underestimated at all. "." Listening to Chen Zhi's explanation of King Jin's operations, even Su Liao couldn't help but get rid of distracting thoughts and sighed. He deeply felt the deep thoughts of King Jin, but what shocked him even more was Such secret information could actually be known to Chen Zhi!
Since he didn't know the secret of the twelve zodiac signs origami, he became more and more awed and even gave up the idea of ​​competition.

At this time, Chen Zhi came back from the King of Jin: "If someone really wants to pick fruits, it is probably a test by the King of Jin to use the family to push the boat. After all, judging from the news from Luoyang, he is still working hard at the moment." I have no intention of neglecting to win over my uncle and my father-in-law. I am prepared with both hands. In this case, I will naturally let the aristocratic families in Luoyang and the high-ranking families in Jiangzuo know how powerful I am, so as to avoid making noise in the future. At the same time, I can also scare the heroes and avoid being beaten. Implicated in future troubles.”

Su Liao nodded silently, but suddenly his heart moved, his face showed surprise, he tasted a hidden meaning from Chen Zhi's words, and couldn't help but said, "My lord, do you think the Central Plains will be in chaos again?"

Of course there will be chaos!
Chen Zhi said silently in his heart.

Because of the current situation, the clan's struggle for power has begun to develop from simple political disputes and coups to military conflicts and mergers, which is quite similar to the mid-term Eight Kings Rebellion in history.

The original Eight Kings Rebellion in history was not an accident, but the result of the combined effects of factors such as the feudal system, the nine-level Zhongzheng system, the Little Ice Age, ethnic policies, etc. It was a form of historical development. inevitable result.

As for the current Xinhan, the development of productivity and the composition of the social structure have not escaped the shackles of the original history. Of course, it is inevitable to go through the same process as it has developed to this day.

Even if we put aside these general rules and just look at the current situation, we know that the situation is not good.

Right now, all the ethnic groups in the surrounding area are ready to move, and they are about to rebel in a booming manner. They encourage each other's morale, and there are factions within the imperial court. They are powerless to restrain and their troops are stretched. How can they suppress the world?This is all fine, are you waiting for the Chinese New Year?
After getting the answer from Chen Zhi's expression, Su Liao couldn't help but become a little nervous and said, "Then should we also be prepared?"

"You don't have to make preparations deliberately. As long as you can grasp Youzhou, you will be able to gain a foothold and then wait for the opportunity. However, you really need to strengthen your influence on the surrounding areas." Chen Zhi paused for a moment and then said: "Over there in the Yan Kingdom What happened to the [-] captive soldiers who were reorganized?"

"It has begun to take shape." Su Liao had focused on and memorized military intelligence these days. "Colonel Yang has begun to select qualified people and is preparing to train them according to the methods of Daijun military soldiers."

"Well, arrange the 3000 people and let Guo Zhi take them away. They are my troops to support Lord Zufu and lend them to him to scare Shi Le! I heard that this person has recently gained support from Buddhism and has made quite a move. We should not let him go. I will go north to quell the troubles of Murong and Tuoba. In order to prevent Shi Le from having evil thoughts about Youzhou, I have to find an ally."
