Chapter 14 Capture the King
King Huainan summoned all his most trusted staff and subordinates.
"Look, how will this king deal with this matter?"
In the lobby, King Huainan's staff looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, the staff member standing at the head began to speak.
"I am reporting to my king. From what I see, I think it would be better for your Majesty not to disobey His Majesty's will. King Qi is defeated, and the power among the clan kings is already much worse than before. If your Majesty gains momentum, will he end up worse than King Qi?
Is it okay? And... Marquis Guangyuan is still in Luoyang, who in the world dares to rebel?"
King Huainan looked at the highest-ranking counselor in front of him with a thoughtful look on his face.
Immediately, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the hall and found that most of their expressions were in agreement.
really....
Even the King of Qi has already failed, how much more so than the King of Huainan?
But at this moment, an inappropriate voice appeared.
"For my information, my king, although Mr. Zhou's words are true, if your majesty puts the sword to the king's neck, if you still listen to your majesty's words at this time, it will undoubtedly lead to death."
This untimely voice was the voice that Huainan King Sima Yun wanted to hear most.
He knew the emperor too well.
In addition to suppressing him, sending him here this time may not necessarily have no intention of using him to weaken the king's power again.
Among the sect kings, he, King Huainan, is considered to be more promising.
If he, a promising sect king, is killed, who among the sect kings can compete with the emperor?
The answer is none.
Since the emperor wants to punish him, if he doesn't fight back at this time, what's the difference between waiting for death?
"Then tell me what you think?"
King Huainan did not express his attitude, but Zhou Fang knew enough about King Huainan. From the words of King Huainan Sima Yun, he knew clearly in his heart that his king would definitely rebel.
The man stood up, bowed to King Huainan, and then bowed to many of the staff in the hall before speaking slowly.
"If your Majesty does not do anything about this matter, he will definitely be punished when he arrives in Luoyang. At this time, your Majesty is in Wancheng. There are many generals in the city who have received favors from your Majesty. It may not be impossible for him to do it. In addition, His Majesty punished him last year.
Among the officials in the court, the aristocratic families in Jiangyang and Yangzhou were particularly seriously damaged. During this period, the aristocratic families were already very dissatisfied with Your Majesty. This sincerity can be used by the king."
Aristocratic family?
Upon hearing this, King Huainan's eyes lit up a lot.
"You keep talking."
"In addition, now is the best time for the king to take action. Li Xiong of Shu is still surviving, and the 20,000 troops sent by the imperial court are still on the way. The king will turn around, ambush the imperial court's 20,000 troops, and take them for his own use.
, In addition, Jingzhou and Yangzhou are far away from Luoyang, and your Majesty also has Shuzhou to eradicate, so your Majesty will be unpredictable for a while."
"and..."
There was a mysterious smile on the man's face.
"Why don't you, Your Majesty, communicate with the King of Hejian in the land of Qin and Yong? Last year, the King of Hejian was plundered by troops sent by Marquis Guangyuan. He has a long-standing resentment against Marquis Guangyuan and the court. If you can convince the King of Hejian, your Majesty will not have to
I am frightened, and in addition, the war has only ended in Yuzhou, so if your Majesty wants to ignite wars in many places, you will be powerless."
The man bowed to the King of Huainan again and said: "Besides, your Majesty can openly refuse to rebel, but he has gathered 20,000 troops and sent a letter to Luoyang, saying that for the war on the Eastern Front, as long as he openly refuses to rebel, Your Majesty will not do it even if he thinks about it.
He regards the king as a serious problem and wants to get rid of him quickly."
This guy's analysis made King Huainan's intention to rebel even more firm from the beginning.
He thought fiercely in his heart: When you were the emperor in Luoyang, you persecuted members of the royal family such as us, and now you will be avenged by members of the royal family.
"Listening to your words today is better than ten years of reading. Please accept my respects from the little king."
King Huainan stood up and bowed to the man.
The man showed a flattered expression on his face and said quickly: "Your Majesty, how can this be done?"
He also knelt down, with a look of fear on his face.
"With my seven-foot body, I should serve the Ming Gong and never regret it even after nine deaths."
"good!"
King Huainan stepped forward to help the man.
"Shilong, in your opinion, what should I do next?"
That's right, this trusted aide to the King of Huainan was Lu Yun, known as Erlong.
Unlike Lu Ji, Lu Yun was also swept by the turmoil last year and finally came under the command of the King of Huainan. Because he was from a local family in Yangzhou, he quickly entered the center of power of the King of Huainan and served as an aide.
"Of course we need to control the army and control Zhang Guang and others." Gu
"good."
The King of Huainan was also a resolute person. Once he made up his mind, he would do things very quickly.
"Then we will summon all the generals and colleges in Wancheng, and also invite General Zhang Guang and others."
The King of Huainan has already made a plan. If these people don't obey, then he will have no choice but to kill them.
At this point, naturally there is no option to regret.
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
Zhou Fang quickly knelt down.
"What Lu Yun said about the dangerous tactics of the king's army makes sense. However, has the king forgotten the fate of King Qi and the princess and the two princes in Luoyang?"
When he sent out troops, he naturally kept hostages in Luoyang.
"snort!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhou Fang said this, King Huainan snorted coldly.
"They are just family members. As long as I am still here, how many princesses can't be married and how many princes can't be born?"
Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood.
As for the princess and prince...
So we can only ask them to make some sacrifices.
"this..."
"Mr. Zhou, are you willing to help me?"
King Huainan stared at Zhou Fang.
The latter's body trembled, and he understood that if he said a word "no" now, based on his understanding of King Huainan, his head would definitely fall to the ground instantly.
"My Majesty is naturally willing."
"Hahaha~ That's good. If that's the case, let's get ready."
"promise."
Lu Yun happily accepted the order, with light shining in his eyes.
....
"Sure enough, it's the other way around!"
In the large tent of the Chinese Army on the Eastern Front, Zhang Guang took the secret message from Lu Yun in his hand, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"My lord knows things like a god!"
Looking at Lu Yun's secret message in his hand, Zhang Guang sighed.
Originally, he had some dissatisfaction, but now, these thoughts have naturally disappeared.
He is just a martial artist, how can he be an enemy of Zhuge, a man who knows things like a god?
"The messenger."
"exist."
"Mobilize the Central Army's personal guards and go out!"
He has ten thousand troops under his command.
Perhaps in terms of numbers, they are far inferior to the local troops and horses in Wancheng.
However...
The King of Huainan has no idea that he is going to take action now.
Even if the King of Huainan is given 100,000 troops, how can he gather them together?
today!
