Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 270 Prosecution

When Zhao Hanzhang received the notice from the court, she was leading a group of students in the school to cut wheat in the official field.

Chang Ning was shocked when she received the message. She didn't have time to wait for the government officials to invite her back to the county government office, so she trotted out of the city on horseback.

The school was on farm holiday, so Zhao Hanzhang simply took the students in the school to harvest wheat.

Professor Fu Tinghan was also among them. Although he didn't understand why he came, when Zhao Hanzhang invited him, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he stood in the field with Zhao Hanzhang.

Chang Ning stopped his horse on the side of the road and trotted along the field ridge with the official document in hand. Finally he found Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan among a crowd of people and shouted hurriedly: "County Lord, there are important official documents from the imperial court."

Zhao Hanzhang paused with his hand holding the sickle. What important documents need to be delivered to the field?

She glanced at Fu Tinghan, strode forward and took the official document.

Chang Ning went down to the field and stood next to her, lowering his voice and said: "The King of Donghai said that Gou Xi was plotting to blackmail the emperor to control the princes, and intended to rebel, so he recruited armies from all over the country to fight against him. The county king sent troops to rescue Aoyang many years ago, and his battle reputation spread far and wide. So this time Xiping is also on the list, and Xiping is asked to send a thousand troops."

Zhao Hanzhang twitched the corner of his mouth and asked Chang Ning: "Do we have a thousand soldiers in Xiping?"

Chang Ning looked at her face and considered, "It seems not."

Zhao Hanzhang patted the official document into his arms and said, "Tell the envoy that I know and I will try my best to gather troops and horses."

Chang Ning was stunned and a little anxious, "The county gentleman is going?"

"I won't go," Zhao Hanzhang said, "I'm not stupid. They are having a civil war. Why should I join in the fun?"

Chang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly: "Yes, the county prince cannot participate in this matter."

If Zhao Hanzhang doesn't go when the governor is recruiting, Chang Ning is still a little uneasy. After all, they are in Yuzhou, but the imperial court is recruiting...

They are so far away and they are so weak, so they can just find any excuse to get past them when the time comes.

Zhao Hanzhang thought so too, but she didn't believe it. All the people on the list who were recruited would go to support the King of East China Sea.

but……

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes. Historically, the King of East China Sea attacked Gou Xi in the fifth year of Yongjia, but now it is only the second year of Yongjia.

What made the King of East China Sea attack Gou Xi now?

"No," Zhao Hanzhang suddenly frowned, "We are attacking Gou Xi at this time, but what about Liu Yuan?"

Liu Yuan was preparing an army to attack Luoyang. He was overjoyed when he heard that King Donghai and Gou Xi had completely fallen out, so he asked the army to slow down a little, hoping to wait for them to fight before he took action.

Liu Kun, who was in Bingzhou, noticed his intentions. While organizing a large army to stop Liu Yuan, he wrote to the King of East China Sea, hoping that he could join forces with Gou Xi to send troops to attack Liu Yuan. He could persuade Tuoba Yilu of the Xianbei Department to join him. Send troops, so there is no need to worry about the cavalry.

If the King of East China Sea could agree, then the Western Jin Dynasty in history would not have perished.

Therefore, the King of East China Sea did not agree at this time.

While Zhao Hanzhang was cutting wheat, she learned about the court's movements from the official documents of the court, Ji Yuan's intelligence and Zhao Ming's letters. To be honest, after learning that the King of Donghai rejected Liu Kun's proposal, she felt very sorry. sighed.

Although she disliked the Jin State very much, it was a unified regime after all. As long as it existed, there would be limits to the chaos in the world.

When it is gone, the people who are already in hell will be even more miserable.

The King of East China Sea rejected Liu Kun, and few soldiers from all over the world responded to him. In the end, his army faced Gou Xi's army alone.

Gou Xi was the one who could turn Shi Le into a mere commander. The Donghai King's men went to battle one after another, but were either killed or captured by him.

Fortunately, the battle did not seem to be very fierce. Only the generals above were killed. Many soldiers below were captured and few were killed.

The reason why Zhao Hanzhang knew this was because Ji Yuan told her: "After three battles, Gou Xi's military strength has doubled."

This means that many soldiers were captured.

Zhao Hanzhang felt a little embarrassed and asked: "Does the King of Donghai regret it?"

Ji Yuan said: "If I don't regret it now, I will regret it soon. Liu Yuan is so ambitious and he is always around him. The King of Donghai didn't even try to appease and contact Gou Xi, but he still conquered him. He is simply looking for death."

Zhao Hanzhang also thought so, "But it's strange, why does the King of East China Sea suddenly want to conquer Gou Xi?"

Historically, the King of East China Sea conquered Gou Xi because the emperor finally couldn't stand the King of East China Sea's tyranny and brainlessness, so he sent a private message to Gou Xi, asking him to send an army to fight against the rebellion.

As a result, the King of East China Sea found out what had happened, and he was furious and sent troops to conquer Gou Xi.

But that was five years later in Yongjia.

Ji Yuan shook his head, "I don't know either."

He paused and said, "Maybe Zhao Zinian will know."

Zhao Hanzhang understood instantly and immediately ran back to ask Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming really knew it. He was too lazy to dictate it, so he went directly to the study to look through it, pulled out a letter and handed it to her.

Zhao Hanzhang recognized Zhao Zhongyu's handwriting at a glance.

Zhao Zhongyu specially wrote a letter back, telling Zhao Ming to guard Xiping and not to easily send troops based on the propaganda.

Until now, Zhao Zhongyu still thought that Xiping was under Zhao Ming's control.

It can only be said that the King of East China Sea will send troops to attack Gou Xi, but it is a historical inevitability and the historical process is advanced because of certain people.

Ever since King Donghai escaped from Luoyang with his court, everything has changed, but it doesn't seem to have changed much.

When Gou Xi saw that King Donghai was so self-interested and incompetent that he abandoned the people of Luoyang and fled, he was furious and led his army straight to Luoyang.

At that time, he and the King of Donghai were at war with each other, but they reconciled temporarily under the persuasion of the emperor, Fu Zhi and others.

After that, Gou Xi returned to Yanzhou, while King Donghai continued to stay in Luoyang to control the government.

There is Yuzhou between the two of them, so they won't be able to get together for the time being.

However, Liu Yuan proclaimed himself emperor one year earlier than in history and sent troops to Luoyang one year earlier. Although Wang Yan finally defeated Liu Yuan, both the court and the local area suffered heavy losses, and the officials were filled with anger.

At this time, there was a natural disaster in Yongzhou. Luoyang, which was only a small Hongnong away from Yongzhou, turned a blind eye, did not provide relief, and did not intervene, causing the refugees to become disasters and gather together to cause chaos.

Luoyang was also hit hard. The price of food in the city soared and the people were miserable.

Gou Xi just felt that if the people of Luoyang stayed in Luoyang, they would either starve to death or be killed by Liu Yuan's army that would then move south. It was better to move the capital and take away everyone who could be taken away.

As long as the emperor is there, the Jin Dynasty will be there; if the people are there, the court will never be destroyed.

So he tried his best to persuade the emperor to move the capital.

Of course, this also had his selfish motives. The capital was moved to Cangyuan, which was very close to Yanzhou. Here, the power of the King of East China Sea was far less than his.

The emperor was very moved, and Zhao Zhongyu's letter only mentioned a vague sentence, "His Majesty summoned Fu Zhi for a secret talk, but Fu Zhi stayed in the palace for half an hour, and no one knew what they talked about."

"There were rumors privately in the court that the emperor wanted to take people out of Beijing privately and go directly to Yuzhou to implement the move of the capital. King Donghai was furious because of this and thought Gou Xi was the chief culprit." Zhao Zhongyu said: "This is a civil strife , it is not worthwhile to send troops for the selfish interests of two people, but the official letter does not exist."
