Although Zhenbeiguan, which Zhenbeihou belongs to, is called a pass, in fact Zhenbeiguan is now a large border city. To the north of the city is the Hidden Dragon Mountain that stretches for more than 3,000 miles. Shannan County now includes the county seat and the fourteen counties of Shannan County. Under Wei Tong's control, in addition to Pingjiang County and Nan'an County, which border Shannan County, there are also several county towns that are still in Wei Tong's hands. Although the land controlled by Wei Tong is less than one-fifth of the entire Yue Kingdom, it does essentially allow Vietnam to The country was divided, and the reason for this was because the King of Yue fell ill, and someone sent out a secret decree. Now everyone knows this secret decree. The content is simple, that is, the prince will kill the king and pass the throne to the third prince, King Qin. So this was the alliance of three princes, seven princes and thirteen uncles.
At the beginning, the coalition forces were strong and unstoppable, but when they were about to hit the imperial city, a traitor appeared among their own people at the decisive battle point. In the end, they were completely defeated. The third prince and the third prince were directly killed in the war, and the birds and beasts scattered in all directions. , some ran back to their own fiefdoms, but for the princes whose fiefdoms were closer to the royal capital, the fiefdoms were quickly and completely occupied, and it was too late to even escape with the troops, just like the case of Zhongyong Bo Xunwu City.
Now it seems that only the Marquis of Zhenbei is left with strong strength, and he has become the leader of the defeated army as everyone expected. He fought in Ning'an County for nine days, allowing the defeated princes to cross the Pingjiang River to join his army. , thus also bringing the situation under control.
Although the third prince is dead now, the third prince still has two sons. Although the eldest son Zhang Liang is only five years old, he has become the target of everyone's support. Of course, because Zhang Liang is too young, the princess asks Wei Tong to take charge of state affairs.
Since we have to preside over state affairs, it is naturally impossible to guard the Marquis Mansion in Zhenbeiguan. Now Wei Tong people are in the county town of Shannan County. The prefect was originally a person of Wei Tong, but now he is no longer a prefect and has become a small court. of the right phase.
The imperial court of the State of Yue used the official system of left and right prime ministers plus six ministries. Of course, because it was a small court now, most of the left and right prime ministers and the people from the six ministries were members of Wei Tong's team. Apart from these people, those who fled to There are various princes here, so a very strange scene appears in front of us. The five-year-old child is the lord, but it is Wei Tong who really presides over major affairs. The left and right prime ministers and officials of the six ministries are all the yes-men of Wei Tong, but they do not It may completely decide the matter, because the total number of more than a dozen princes and horses is more than 100,000, and now they are a very strong force when they are united, led by Lu Xiao, the prince of Duke Ning.
Among the three princes who were originally leaders, An Guogong suffered the worst. Only one young prince, Sun Zan, was killed by the whole family. As the third prince's natal Duke Dingguo, although there were two other princes with eight thousand troops, these two arrived. Now they are still fighting in the nest, trying to snatch the position of Duke Ding, so Lu Xiao, who is already nearly forty years old, has become the leader of everyone. However, he only has more than 10,000 men, so although this leader is the only one that everyone can agree with Yes, but it is also weak and needs to join forces with several powerful princes, such as Zhang Xin, the prince of Pingjiang Hou who has an army of 30,000.
Zhang Xin, the prince of Pingjiang Marquis, was less than thirty. His father died in the decisive battle. Then the army attacked. He did not hesitate to lead his troops across Pingjiang and ran here because it was close to here, and Pingjiang Marquis was also considered a royal family. Yi lineage has a large fiefdom, so it has the most people and horses.
In fact, there are more than a dozen princes, some of whom do not even have a hundred people under their command, but for the sake of unity, they still stand on the so-called court.
At this time, everyone was discussing the incident where Liu Zhenshan of An Guogong left with his people to rescue people not long ago. Now the news came that the people were rescued, but they did not come back. Instead, they went all the way south, running further and further away. This made people feel uncomfortable. Everyone was speechless.
Many people thought that Liu Zhenshan had no choice but to be chased south. However, after Wei Tong saw them burning Ning'an County, he knew what Sun Zan was thinking, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although An Guogong only had this left. Du Miao is powerful, unlike those two idiots like Ning Guogong, who don't guard their nephews and still want to fight for power.
"Liu Zhenshan disobeyed orders and ran away privately with his men. Now he is being chased like a lost dog. Although the number of eight hundred cavalry is not large, it is still a force for us. This force is gone. The Marquis made many orders before, hoping that all the princes would obey orders. If this is still the case in the future, when the rebel army comes to kill us, we will still be in such a state of disunity?" The current right minister, Wang Shanxing, the former prefect of Shannan County, asked everyone present. road.
In fact, everyone present knew that Wei Tong took over Liu Zhenshan's affairs this time. However, this matter was really the fault of the princes, and it was really taboo to send orders to many gates during the war. Now, although he doesn't want to hand over his power. , but in the face of the overwhelming army, everyone knew not to undermine each other, so early in the morning, Lu Xiao, Zhang Xin and other princes who could talk to each other met.
"What the right minister said is indeed reasonable, but our subordinates are all private soldiers who have been led for many years. If we directly hand over the military power, they will definitely not accept it, so we can only manage it ourselves. But in this situation, I don't think we can There will be many more orders, so I guarantee here that military orders passed unanimously in the future must be implemented, and violators will not be forgiven, and military law will be followed." The person who spoke at this time was Wu'an Hou Tao Feng, who was one of the few who survived the war. Most of the princes present are princes or even young masters. Although as long as he lives here, the young prince will be conferred the title of prince. As for the title, after arriving here, they all vowed to destroy the regicide of the king and the father. Zhang Xiao takes over again.
Wei Tong glanced at Tao Feng. Among the various princes at the moment, the three most important ones were Lu Xiao, Zhang Xin and Tao Feng. And Tao Feng was a person of his own generation. His words were basically the decision of the princes. Most of these princes now have soldiers and horses in their hands. He can't digest them for a while. If he can make them give in, he will win. So Wei Tong immediately said: "Okay, let's do as Tao Hou said."
As soon as Wei Tong finished speaking, one of Wei Tong's attendants ran in and reported: "I would like to report to the young prince and the marquis. Three days ago, a group of people were captured at the forward camp. There were thirty-five people in charge, and they called themselves They are the generals of various princes. After being rescued by Liu Zhenshan, they were unwilling to follow him south and crossed the river on their own. Someone recognized that there were several people who were indeed from the prince's palace in the capital. Now they have been sent here. Then Several of them have been confirmed and there is no problem with their identities.”
"Oh! Who else is there?" Wei Tong asked in surprise.
The attendant immediately replied: "There are two leaders among those people. One claims to be Zhang Songzhi from Pingjiang Marquis Mansion, and the other claims to be Ning Zhongying from Zhongyong Bo Mansion."
