Chapter forty-four
"The second brother doesn't have to be so serious about the words of the prince. Sima Qingxuan lives in the northern border and wants to say that he has some understanding of Xianbei and Goguryeo. But he still said that the words of Jiaozhou are not trustworthy." In the Taiwei Mansion, Yang Jun pointed out the country, and was as angry as a tiger, and spitting stars flew everywhere.
Yang Yu, holding the letter, frowned slightly, as if there were a bunch of flies flying around his head. There was such a person who obviously interrupted his thoughts and said very tiredly, "The so-called "knowing yourself and your enemy can only win every battle. In order to destroy Wu, Emperor Wu prepared for more than ten years and finally achieved his battle. The eldest brother was a little overly optimistic."
"The reason why Xianglin split the soil and became king is indeed because the mountain range called Hengshan in the middle made transportation inconvenient. The local climate really made the Han army afraid of it and mutiny and unwilling to go on an expedition. This time, these difficulties fell on us." Yang Yu said to Yang Jun calmly, "The King of Yan suggested that the scope of the conscription this time includes Shanyue in Yang, Jing, Guang, Jiao and other places to build warships in Guangzhou. Once the warship is built, we will advance together by water and land, and then take Hengshan directly, and then destroy Linyi."
"Second brother, do you really believe in this pornographic man?" Yang Jun was a little embarrassed. Who can bear it when he was always slapped by his younger brother?
Moreover, Yang Jun and Yang Wei have the opposite personalities. They have never agreed on how to treat court officials and how to treat Empress Jia.
"Second brother, you, the general of the Conquest of the South, have won over for your brother. You will be the general of the two states, recruiting four states, and serving as the general of the Conquest of the South. If the battle is successful, my Yang family's status will become more stable. Don't let your expectations down." Yang Jun pointed at Yang Jue, as if I was all for your goodness.
This appearance made Yang Qi feel even more depressed. He finally calmed down and said, "After I leave, I hope my elder brother respects the royal family, respects the queen, and treats court officials with courtesy. Don't be like this now, I won't worry. The third brother has a straightforward personality, so you must not alienate him."
Sima Jiyuan was in Youzhou, of course he didn't know the real reason for this southern expedition. It turned out that Yang Jun took the initiative to ask Yang Jue to go on the expedition, but in fact he wanted Yang Ji to go. Because among the three brothers, Yang Ji was famous for his outstanding martial arts. If Yang Ji had not been the prince's tutor, Yang Jun would have wanted Yang Ji to go.
Although Yang Jue and Yang Ji were both dissatisfied with Yang Jun's current behavior, Yang Jue would at least make a single method. Yang Ji was very direct in speaking. Yang Jun is quite cold to Yang Ji now, and Yang Ji has never been to the Taiwei Mansion recently.
And this is exactly what Yang Yu was worried about. After leaving the Taiwei Mansion, Yang Yu turned to Yang Ji's mansion, "After I leave Luoyang, you must be careful. My eldest brother is too domineering. If you are not careful, it may cause my Yang family to be devastated. Over the years, many ministers have said this, especially the Sima kings have all the military powers in their hands. You must be cautious and cautious."
As early as Sima Yan was alive, the Right Army Governor Zhao Xiu also wrote a letter saying: "The five brothers of Wang Mang were all dukes, and later the brothers replaced the Liu family. Now the three dukes of the Yang family are all in high positions. There are often changes in the court in history, and the ministers are privately worried about His Majesty. "As a result, Yang Yu became even more afraid and asked to abdicate.
"Second brother, don't worry, I will protect the prince and the queen mother from the inside, and advise the eldest brother from the outside." Yang Ji solemnly agreed.
Yang Yu shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "The main thing is the prince and the queen mother. Our elder brother has been looking at the sky. Is there anything on the ground? Will he be able to see if he will overthrow himself?"
"This?" Yang Ji looked at Yang Wei for no reason, wondering what his second brother meant.
"Save more snacks in Luoyang!" In the end, Yang Yu could only leave this sentence.
The next day, Yang Yu left Luoyang and went south to Jingzhou. Jingzhou was just the first stop. He went there thousands of miles away, and there were five thousand imperial guards accompanying him. As everyone said, the northerners did have too many obstacles to the expeditions of the south. Fortunately, the Jin Dynasty had already unified the world, otherwise he would face the embarrassment of Prime Minister Cao back then.
During this southern expedition, Yang Yu still believed that the southern army was the main force, which was necessary to win over some southern gentry. But this was not easy, because after the Battle of Wu, these southern gentry were a group of losers in Luoyang's eyes. Since they were losers, why are you polite? The families of Wu were unlucky and unlucky. They were the last one. The Jin Dynasty no longer needed to win over like the monarchs and ministers of Shu, and to show the show to the southern gentry of Wu.
Although the senior officials of the Wu Kingdom were not alone in the Luoyang court, they were basically in an embarrassing situation. Usually no one solicited their opinions, and as long as they expressed their opinions, basically no one listened, and even if someone listened, they would not implement them.
The officials of the Jin Dynasty were not enough to be divided into northern gentry. In the eyes of the northern gentry, these rioters of the Wu Kingdom were at best stronger than the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and were all defeated enemies. Who knew that they were hiding evil intentions behind their backs? They lived among the mountains and rivers and joined Baiyue, and who knew what they were thinking.
Yang Jue's trip was not easy to capture, and objective difficulties existed. Sima Ji forgot the issue of north and south in his letter, and Yang Jue would not forget it. In general, Yang Jun only saw the opportunity to increase the power of the Yang family after defeating, but did not see the risks contained in it.
"The General of the Conquest South has left the city!" Dong Meng, who returned to the inner palace, bowed slightly and reported softly.
Jia Nanfeng, who was originally facing away from the door, turned his neck over very difficultly, and his eyes were full of fierce light, "I understand."
Yang Yu's trip was quite slow. After all, the court did not say that he would fight within a deadline. Emperor Wu had prepared for more than ten years to destroy Wu, but in the end, the court officials opposed it, and finally found the opportunity to destroy Wu.
In early November, Yang Qing arrived in Jiangxia County, and the coldness of the bone marrow ingested him a little uncomfortable, but local officials were obviously used to this. After Yang Qing arrived in Jiangxia, he used the tricks Yang Jun used in Luoyang and awarded rewards.
When he was in Luoyang, Yang Yu looked down on Yang Jun's move, but once and forth, Luoyang was the center of power of the Jin Dynasty, and there were so many high gentry families. Can Yang Jun be rewarded?
But here is different. In terms of overall nature, the southern gentry was excluded from the power center of the Jin Dynasty. Reward was something that the southern gentry needed. These southern gentry did not lack money, but what they lacked was status.
