Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 1197 Persuasion

King Langya pondered for a moment and then said that he could give the order, but Luoyang would have to agree to help him capture Wang Dun, and would also limit his troops to Luzhou, and the Zhao army could not cross Luzhou.

Liu Kun was refreshed. He was not afraid of negotiating conditions, but he was afraid that King Langya would not negotiate. As long as he dared to start talking, he might be persuaded.

Moreover, after the army entered Luzhou, it would be difficult for Zhao Jiajun to withdraw.

In war, it is inevitable to chase the enemy and change positions. It is common to change places during a fight.

Although Director Wang and Liu Wei had already thought about it, they couldn't help but refuse.

The Zhao army must not be allowed to come down and be forced to surrender at the gates of the city. This is a different result and treatment than taking the initiative to return to Luoyang and then send reinforcements south to quell Wang Dun's rebellion.

Even if the other opponent is his cousin Wang Dun, Director Wang also hopes that King Langya and the noble clans in Jiangnan can return to Jiangbei with dignity and have a good start.

There was no debate about this matter for a while, and King Langya felt a little regret after saying what he said, and at this time he remained silent again.

Liu Kun could see it at a glance. He couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. He simply gave King Langya time and space to think. He invited Director Wang to leave with him. "It's my first time to come to Jiankang. I don't know where the post station is. Is Maohong willing?" Lead the way for me?"

Director Wang looked at King Langya.

King Langya didn't want to agree, but Liu Kun looked at him with bright eyes. Because he represented Zhao Hanzhang and was a famous figure in the country, King Langya couldn't refuse him, so he could only nod.

So Director Wang and Liu Kun left together.

The people who had been waiting outside breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Director Wang come out safely, and immediately went back to deliver the message.

As a result, all the noble families knew about it, and Liu Kun went into the palace to rescue Director Wang.

Liu Kun already had an excellent reputation and was highly respected by everyone. Not only the wealthy families who had fled from the north respected him, but also the local noble families in Jiangnan respected him.

As soon as he left the palace, the head of the family came to pick him up in a carriage and warmly invited him to live at home.

Seeing this, other families refused to lag behind and came to grab people. Horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts crowded the streets, making it difficult to move. They all came to invite Liu Kun or come to see Liu Kun.

Liu Kun loved the excitement, especially being liked by others, so he immediately accepted their invitation. Lu Yushi squeezed in from the crowd before he exited, grabbed his sleeve and said: "Liu Shijun, We have reserved a room for you in the inn. You can put the drinking at night. How about you go to the inn to freshen up at this time?"

First, he rode a horse to the river, smelling of dust and horse manure; then he crossed the river, and his body was inevitably smelly of water; after getting off the boat, he rode back again. He was not tired after two days, wasn't he dirty?

"Liu Shijun has already arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. How can we let you live in a shabby and dilapidated place like the inn? Please come to my house quickly, and I will have the upper room cleaned up. You can stay in the upper room of my house."

"Your garden is not as good as mine. Liu Shijun should go to my house."

"Go to my house. There are fifteen musicians in my house. They are very skilled. I want to ask Liu Shijun to reward them."

Everyone knows that Liu Kun likes music, and sure enough, he couldn't help but be moved when he heard it.

Lu Yushi could only hold the person tightly, and whispered in his ear: "General, General..."

Liu Kun reluctantly rejected them, but he still agreed to drink and have fun with them in the evening, so he went to the house where there were musicians, oh, it was the Lu family, a local family in Jiangnan.

Among the many families in the south of the Yangtze River, the Gu family, the Lu family, the Zhu family and the Zhang family are the leaders. These four families are the core of the Jiangdong gentry. In addition, there is also a wealthy family, the Yixing Zhou family.

The Zhou family has military power and is quite powerful in Jiangnan.

But in the south of the Yangtze River, the only ones who could compete with the powerful families from the north of the Yangtze River were the Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang families. Liu Kun had been mentally prepared before coming. Zhao Hanzhang specifically mentioned in his mind that he should appease the Jiangnan nobles and encourage them to send their children. Go north to become an official.

Therefore, he chose the Lu family to attend the banquet.

Of course, it was impossible for the Lu family to invite only Liu Kun. The head of the Lu family was very generous and invited everyone present to go.

Director Wang stood aside quietly, watching Liu Kun being surrounded by people and leaving. After everyone around him had dispersed, the Wang family's children stepped forward and said, "Uncle, my nephew is here to pick you up."

Nowadays, the Wang family is neglected in the family. When walking in the crowd, people will actively avoid their presence. Wang's nephew can't help but feel sour when he sees that his uncle, who has always been admired by everyone, is so neglected.

However, Director Wang's expression remained unchanged. After getting into the car, he asked gently: "Do you have a letter from Wang Dun?"

"Yes. He wrote a letter to urge us to come out to Jiankang together. He also wanted to ask his uncle to write a handwritten letter to Dai Yuan and others, but he was rejected by the younger members of the clan."

The remaining Wang family children are those who do not agree with Wang Dun's behavior, and naturally they will not listen to him.

"Uncle, is there still room for maneuver?" Wang Nephew asked, "If Wang Dun really rebels, will your Majesty kill my Wang family?"

Every time Luoyang rebels, many people will die. Many family members are killed in this way. Some gentry's direct branches are killed, and the side branches are killed and scattered. Finally, some distant branches and side branches are killed under the banner of the clan. .

For example, the most famous Xiahou family.

He was worried that Wang would do the same.

But even though the danger of annihilation hung over their heads, they still did not choose Wang Dun, but decided to take the risk and stay in Jiankang City and follow King Langya.

Because they know that if they don’t rebel, they may live, but if they rebel, they will definitely die.

Director Wang: "You also think Wang Dun can't win, right?"

Nephew Wang was silent.

Director Wang sighed: "Even you know the truth at a young age, but he doesn't know it."

Of course Wang Dun had considered it, but he was still unwilling to give up.

He told his confidants, "I would rather die than suffer this anger."

He didn't want to live like this again, being oppressed and suspected by others.

He sneered and said: "If it weren't for me and Mao Hong, how would King Langya be where he is today? In the Yanzhou Rebellion, the royal family was killed and only two yellow-haired children were left. They all relied on me and Mao Hong to cross the river and survive."

"Maohong worked hard for him and let him gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, but in the end he crossed the river and burned the bridge. No, the river has not yet been crossed, and he began to be suspicious of my descendants of the Wang family. Such a person is not enough to make me wait for him. Serve," Wang Dun said: "Even if I lose, I will go to Jiankang City to seek justice. Besides, we may not lose."

Wang Dun has not moved in the past few days, just to recruit people. He has sent letters to several hot people and successfully attracted the three forces. He is now very confident, so he decided to issue a message.

He wanted to enter Jiankang City to hang the traitors and "list the crimes of Liu Wei, Diao Xie and others, and advertise them to the world!"

He is going to Jiankang to go to Qingjun's side. As for what happens after Qingjun's side, naturally he will talk about it after Qingjun's side.

"Did Yuan Li open his mouth?"
