Royal Road

Early in the morning, he was busy running around. It was both a Nuo ceremony and a Fa conference. He also drank with the officials until dark. Liang Feng was already tired and sore. However, after sitting down in the study, he simply wiped his face with the hot kerchief, and he said to Zhang Bin: "Wang Jun really started a war with Tuoba?"

"It's true!" Zhang Bin sat down opposite Liang Feng with a grim expression, "The Duan Clan Xianbei sent 20,000 soldiers to attack the Tuoba Tribe. It looks like he wants to take Daijun back."

This is surprisingly fast. Asking the imperial court for orders and granting Daijun to the Tuoba Tribe was originally intended to provoke the relationship between the two. But who could have expected that Wang Jun couldn't get the sand in his eyes so that he couldn't even wait for the beginning of the spring, and the army would be revived in the winter! The Xianbei are all nomads, and the loss of war in winter is not small. However, behind the Duan clan, Wang Jun, his father-in-law, was the backer, and the Tuoba clan was not so well treated. One was not good, and he was defeated and retired from Dai County. Things might be worse.

"Can Tuoba Yilu stand it?" Liang Feng asked.

"Since I dare to enter the county, I am afraid that I have two confidences. The assistant guards of the Tuoba Department are not simple figures. It is also a temptation to say that this is not a good move. But whether this battle is won or lost, next year will be secluded and combined I am afraid there will be some fighting between the two states."

This is also the biggest hidden danger caused by Wang Jun's urgent deployment of troops. If Wang Jun wins, he will surely take heavy troops to teach the reckless Bingzhou governor. And if he loses, he will regard Liang Feng as a thorn in his eyes, and he will never die. You and Binzhou had completely torn their faces this time, and they had to fight a few battles.

Liang Feng said solemnly: "Even if there is no Tuoba Department, Youzhou is a confidant. Let's fight, as long as it can be delayed until the beginning of spring next year, I am not afraid of anyone."

He had been talking to Wang Jun a long time ago, but the inexplicable cold food powder made him worry about it. Even if Wang Jun didn't do it, he would do it sooner or later. The only problem is timing. There have been too many battles in Binzhou this year, and although it has resulted in a relatively stable environment, the losses are not small. The food and grass given by Luoyang is only a drop in the bucket, and it still depends on reclaiming wasteland and accommodating refugees. Until next summer’s harvest, food production and human resources have been ensured, before they are qualified to talk about war.

Zhang Bin nodded: "Bingzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there is some room for change. It's just that the lord should pay attention to the history of Winners."

Wen Neishi refers to Wen Qiao. Now Wen Qiao is sitting in Leping State, and he is also the confidant of Liang Feng's hands. However, Zhang Bin's mention of Wen Qiao at this moment obviously meant more than just Leping. Rather, it refers to Wen's high door in the state.

"Didn't the Wen family have left Bingzhou?" Liang Feng frowned. In Wangqi County of Wen's County, Sima Teng had already gone seven or eighty-eight when he fled before. Wen Qiao belongs to the alien species left behind.

"It is for this reason that Wen internal history should be reused! Wen Taizhen is extremely talented and has the heart to govern the world. If the lord shows good to Wen, he would like to come to Binzhou Gaomen to see it."

This involves high-level politics. Guo Tong is the Shuzong of the Guo clan, and Wen Qiao is the sect of the Wen clan. Even if Wen's family is inferior to Guo's, Wen Qiao is worse than Guo Tongqiang by several points. In addition, the two families are still in-laws, and with Wen Qiao as a cover, Guo Tong would never dare to do too much. And several big Bingzhou high gates are used by the governor's house, in the eyes of others, it also has a certain binding force on the small and medium-sized gentry under it.

This is a typical check and balance problem, which can save Liang Feng a lot of trouble.

"As for Guo Tong..." Zhang Bin smiled slightly, "The previous lord handled it very well. This man was too ambitious to be reused. It happened that he couldn't see the situation clearly, so he took the post of Zhongzheng official. It was the king of East China Sea. On the side, we have to beware of him by three points. However, the Guo family is so powerful after all, and we have to look for someone who can be used in other Shuzongs."

Zhang Bin said this. When Liang Feng agreed to Guo Tong's request, why didn't he have such thoughts? Sima Yue's hatred towards him would only be greater, not less, how could he reuse the Zhongzheng official he recommended? In addition, Guo Tong had an agreement with him a long time ago that he would not interfere with the arrangements of the people of the state. This is in the eyes of others, and it is a clear evidence that Guo's Shuzong voted for the governor of the state. Come and go, let alone Guo Tong, I am afraid that even the Shuzong of the Guo clan will be disgusted by Sima.

It’s just the latter sentence that made Liang Feng hesitate: "After Shuzong is also a high school after all, blindly submitting to it, I am afraid it will affect the state of the state..."

Just hearing this sentence, Zhang Bin guessed what Liang Feng was thinking, and immediately said: "The lord must not be impatient! How many gentry Wei Wu killed in those days, but still failed to let them obey. On the contrary, there have been several rebellions throughout his life, even Yanzhou University. The camp was seized for a while. By the time of Wei Wen, he had not followed Chen Changwen's words and set up the Nine-rank official method to win the hearts of the world's scholars. The lord wanted to use the poor, but he must not rush for a while, let alone superficial. If so. Let the gentry be vigilant, and if you leave Bingzhou, it will be difficult to make any progress!"

The situation in the state is different, and the high gate is almost fleeing, and the decree can pass unimpeded. But other states and counties are still the gentry's world. They control a large number of land and population, have countless barriers, Wubao, and a complicated network of in-laws. Just like a hornet's nest, it will explode with one poke. But now there are countless contenders that can "invest", and they are almost the same as the three countries back then. Once the support of the local gentry is lost, it is simply as difficult to seize power!

Why doesn't Liang Feng understand this truth? It's just that the high gates that I saw, each annoying him. If it is impossible to seize power from the locality, what is the difference from another Wei and Jin Dynasty?

"What about the implementation of the academy and the opening of a system?" Liang Feng lowered his voice and asked what he thought.

"After setting the world, make plans!" Zhang Bin replied simply. What attracted him to come to cast the effect was the outstanding idea of ​​"Science-making". This kind of mind is by no means comparable to Sima's. But for some things, haste is not enough.

Seeing what Liang Feng wanted to say, Zhang Bin sighed lightly: "The lord wants to use sages, but sages may not have selfishness. Even if you give up these high-ranking doors, wouldn't the generals not be big? Military generals don't support their own strength Is it? The so-called checks and balances, the key is not strength, but mastery."

There is no way to refute Zhang Bin's words. No matter how bad Liang Feng's history is, he also knows the disaster of the vassal towns in the Tang Dynasty and the civil official group of the Song and Ming dynasties. What if there is no high door? In the final analysis, feudal rule is not the struggle between monarchy and opposing power. Not to mention the ancient times, but the modern times. In the military and political circles, there are no such powerful factions?

He comes from the Red Family, and he knows all the circles in it. Only back then, he couldn't understand these things, gave up all the advantages and ran to become a criminal policeman. And now, he is being pushed to a position even more terrifying than before.

Alone.

The exhaustion of a day seems to be pressed on my shoulders at this moment. Liang Feng nodded slowly: "I will carefully consider what Zhang Cengjun said."

Glancing at the face of the person in the seat, Zhang Bin knew that the other party had listened to his words. Being good at receiving advice is also a necessary condition for the master. It's just that his father-in-law is still not cruel enough. But these are not in a hurry, and when things come, they naturally know how to choose.

After giving a gift, Zhang Bin got up and resigned. Seeing the figure disappearing outside the door, Liang Feng moved his lips, but never said a word. Who can he tell about these things?

"Prepare some hot soup, I want to take a shower."

At least this warm winter night soup can make people forget some of their worries.

"My lord, Wuwuchen has sent troops and will confront the Tuoba thieves in the near future. It's just that there is another news from Sima Teng that the Ji Sang tribe takes advantage of the situation to attack Yecheng..." Wang Yu stood in the study, quite a little uneasy. What he brought was not good news.

The imperial court's order to reward Daijun to the Tuoba Ministry really frustrated his father. The army that had stayed on the border of Jizhou to help Sima Teng defend has all withdrawn. The troops were on the front line of Daijun, and wanted to take advantage of the cold winter to defeat the Tuoba Tribe who dared to offend the Youzhou Territory in one fell swoop.

But in this way, the site that was hard to get before has to be handed over. Sima Teng's repeated urging was really anxious. Wang Yu didn't know what to do, so he could only tell the truth.

Wang Jun said angrily: "Attack Yecheng? Well done! Just let the court see what it would be like without Youzhou soldiers and horses! He Liang Zixi broke the siege of Luoyang, I have been in vain this year. Don’t you? I don’t want to think that the idiot of King Dongyan can defend Yecheng! Without Youzhou soldiers and horses, Sizhou would have been captured by those horse thieves long ago, and could he still defend Luoyang?!"

How can he not be angry. I have sent soldiers to fight in Jizhou for almost a year, but I didn't expect to have many rewards, and my own turf would be ceded to the Xianbei people! This is all Liang Zixi's trick! Take advantage of Sima Yue's absence, make some tricks. Back then, he shouldn't have solicited this wolf-ambitious guy, and it has become a confession to the present!

"This winter, we must solve the Tuoba Department and regain Daijun! As for Bingzhou, we can't just let it go!" Wang Jun said bitterly.

Hearing this, Wang Yu hesitated a little: "But Daijun, after all, is the court award..."

"The imperial court? What can the yellow-mouthed kid say?!" Wang Jun said coldly, "Not to mention Taifu's thoughts, but Si Ji is tight, and it will be enough to make the rats in Luoyang Palace feel ashamed! "

For this, Wang Jun is really not afraid. He has a lot of soldiers under him, and he can control the Duan Clan Xianbei. Not to mention the court, even Sima Yue had to respect him a bit. It was Wang Jun's selfishness to help the court to maintain Jizhou all the time. If Youzhou wants to plot Luoyang, it must pass through Jizhou to get deep into Sizhou. And every time he uses his troops, he is siege and plotting for himself. Sima Yue is still suffering from the war in Jingzhou now, so how can he have time to worry about other things. When he completely occupied Jizhou, the court would naturally let him lead Jizhou at the same time.

But I didn't expect Liang Zixi to suddenly cross the bar and seal Tuoba's family. This action is not well-intentioned in any way. Therefore, Wang Jun immediately launched an army to attack the Tuoba Tribe without delay.

Shocked by his father's words, Wang Yu quickly said: "My lord said it is quite true. I then wrote back to King Dongyan, letting him know that the imperial court was perverse..."

Wang Jun waved his hand: "It doesn't have to be. King Dongyan is not a tolerant, why should he be honest? Just say Youzhou soldiers are in danger, let him ask the court for orders."

This is also a way to force the court to admit its mistakes. Sima Teng is also Sima Yue's brother, how dare the court leave it alone? Maybe after being frightened, the little emperor himself was scared and tried every means to recover his life. Wouldn't it be possible to use the territory of Bingzhou to seal rewards if you want to seal the Tuoba Buddhism? This trick is too crude!

However, this good scene made people aware of Liang Zixi's plot. This son really had a grudge against what happened that day... Thinking of this, Wang Jun couldn't help but nodded his son who stood in front of him: "It's all you chose to join the army! It made things so embarrassing!"

Wang Yu couldn't help but said in embarrassment, "I blame the child for not knowing people clearly. If you run into Liang Zixi again, the child will never take it lightly!"

What happened on that day made Wang Lin feel more humiliated and almost made his father hate it. It's just that the kid with the surname Zhang escaped so fast that he didn't have time to do it. It is precisely because of this that Wang Lin's hatred and obsession with Liang Zixi has also become more serious.

Isn't this Wang Jun's idea? With a sneer, he said: "Let them make a fuss first. When the world is in chaos, we will see who is the best!"

The longer Sima is, the longer the army goes, the better it will be for him. After the imperial court was defeated and the only family property left, it was not impossible to change the owner in this world.

Jizhou is just a springboard to the south, and he is bound to win the homeland of Bingzhou!

The author has something to say: Before I saw people discussing family issues, I really couldn't figure it out. During the three hundred years of turbulent times in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, half of them were caused by the family. Three hundred years later, the Tang Dynasty didn't get it done. With the addition of Huang Chao, plus the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it was finally late to play with the nobles. Then there is the world of civil officials...

Science and technology cannot develop to a certain level, and separation cannot be eliminated. When it develops to a corresponding level, there will be more hidden political contests. Such a good thing as power is enough to make countless people crazy.
