Jin Hou Wu did not reply, but looked at Wei Chi.
At this time, Wei Chi also added:
"I am also willing to work with Doctor Han to put an end to this disaster!"
Jin Houwu nodded and said:
"Second Minister, you can learn from your mistakes! However, I think the Zhongxing family and the Fan family have been fighting hard for a long time, so I'm afraid they won't be easy to deal with either!"
Xun Shu bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, the Zhonghang Clan and the Fan Clan...plus Handan, these three families are now extremely harmful to our country of Jin. No matter how difficult it is, it is indeed time to establish a system. Please make a decision as soon as possible, Your Majesty. !」
Jin Houwu narrowed his eyes again and said worriedly:
"That being said... it's just... if we really send troops, have the three ministers thought carefully about it?!"
After being a king for so many years, Marquis Wu of Jin did not learn many other skills in governing the country, but he was already very proficient in how to protect himself in a high position.
He refused to issue an edict to send troops in the name of the monarch. Instead, he let Han Buxin and Wei Chi take the lead in proposing it, and even let the three families make their own decisions. This was undoubtedly leaving a way out for himself.
After all, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, so how can he know who is the final winner?
Therefore, Jin Houwu had no choice but to do this for the purpose of self-protection. At least he would have some excuse when the time came.
And Xun Shu undoubtedly understood the monarch's psychology very accurately, so he dared to "make trouble" like this before.
When Han Buxin heard what the king said, he immediately bowed his head and said:
"What the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan have done is very harmful to our country of Jin. If we don't punish them, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the king in the future. Please give the order quickly to put an end to the rebellion!"
Wei Chi and Xun Shu also followed behind.
When Jin Houwu saw this, he nodded and said:
"Since the three ministers have said this, I hereby issue an order: Zhongxing clan and Fan clan are causing chaos in the drama, and their crimes are extremely heinous! Order Xunshuo, Han Buxin, and Wei Chi to command the three armies to quell this chaos!"
"Han doesn't believe it!"
Han Buxin came out and said:
"I'm here!"
Jin Houwu said:
"You led Pingyang's army and thought that the front troops were being treated fair and rebelled!"
Han Buxin responded:
"I accept the decree!"
Jinhou Wu said again:
"Wei Chi, you lead Ruicheng's army and its rear army, and work with Han Buxin to assist in this matter!"
Wei Chi replied:
"I accept the decree!"
The Marquis of Jin looked at Xun Shu again at noon, but Xun Shu said:
"As the chief minister, the city of Jiang cannot be empty. I am willing to lead my troops into Jiang to defend the palace and support the front army!"
Jin Houwu nodded and said:
"This is very good. If Xun Qing can arrange it like this, I can feel at ease!"
Xunshi said:
"I understand that I should decide according to the situation to ensure that the king is safe!"
Jinhou Wu nodded and said with a smile:
"Well, Xun Qing has thought carefully, so this is the best. Then I will ask the three ministers to supervise the military affairs and put an end to this chaos as soon as possible!"
After receiving the monarch's approval, Han Buxin and Wei Chi took the lead in withdrawing. Han Buxin said angrily:
"This Xun Shu is really an old fox, very cunning! At this time, he is still protecting himself wisely!"
Wei Chi replied:
"Let him go as he pleases... Anyway, as long as Zhao Yang's side wins, everything will be fine..."
Just after Han Buxin and Wei Chi resigned, Xun Shu was not in a hurry to retreat.
After the two of them left, Xun Shu spoke to Jin Hou Wu again:
"Your Majesty, now the war is about to break out. I don't know if the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan will make any drastic moves. If they really attack you in turn, it will undoubtedly be extremely dangerous for you. One thing!"
Just listen to Jin Hou Wu is another
He sighed loudly, nodded and said:
"Hey... Xun Qing's words make sense! I am also worried about this matter! But now, thanks to Xun Qing's help! I feel a little more at ease now! But this matter is not a trivial matter after all, and I ask Xun Qing to do your best to do it. I will definitely support you with all my strength!"
When Xun Shu heard this, he was already happy:
"Nuo, please be at ease, Your Majesty. Mr. Xun will do his best to protect you!"
…
Let’s talk about Jinyang.
Outside Jinyang City, when Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe learned that they had been designated as the culprits by the monarch, they did not panic at first, but then it was reported that the Fan family in Jiangcheng had now fallen. Under the control of Fan Gaoyi.
Fan Jishe couldn't help but became furious when he heard the news. This was a great shame and humiliation for him.
Fan Jishe was about to lead his troops back to Jiangcheng, but was stopped by Zhongxing Yinyi.
Zhong Xingyin asked him to be patient and wait a moment, but not long after that, Zhong Xingyin also received news from Jiangcheng: Jinhou Wu had given an order to send three armies to come and fight with him. Be against!
Finally, Zhong Xingyin couldn't sit still anymore.
"This monarch has really gone too far! And that Xun Shu, it seems that he is also a double-dealing and treacherous person! This old boy, when I return to Jiangcheng, I will cut him into pieces!"
Gao Qiang originally did not support their risky move, but now the armies of both families have gathered outside Jinyang City.
On the surface, it seems that they are besieging Jinyang. But in fact, they were trapped here instead, unable to move forward or retreat, which was very sad.
And now it was directly labeled as rebellion by the Marquis of Jin. This incident was almost exactly the same as what he had experienced in previous years.
At this moment, Gao Qiang could only step forward and persuade him:
"Lord, now we should pull back from the brink, withdraw our troops, and go back to Jiangcheng to apologize! Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope!"
Fan Jishe shook his head and angrily said:
"Gao Qiang! I think you are talking nonsense. What if we withdraw our troops at this moment and go to Jiangcheng to plead guilty? Isn't this throwing ourselves into a trap? Is it tying ourselves up and kneeling on the chopping board, letting others slaughter us?"
Zhong Xingyin also said:
"Yes! Gao Qiang's words are definitely not feasible!"
Fan Jishe said again:
"Uncle, there is only one way to go now. It's better to attack Jiangcheng directly. As long as we can control the Marquis of Jin, I'm afraid he won't dare not support me!"
Gao Qiang said anxiously:
"If we really do this, wouldn't it be exactly the same as what I experienced back then? This move is tantamount to treason! In this way, you will lose your country. And when the time comes, even if there are some princes who want to side with us, they will It’s absolutely impossible for Shiya to support my lord anymore! My lord, you must think twice!”
Zhong Xingyin frowned, but couldn't make a decision for a while. Fan Jishe said:
"Uncle, the Fan clan is now controlled by Fan Gaoyi. He is just a branch of the Fan clan. What he has done is really a shame! Please ask uncle to make the decision for my nephew!"
After Zhong Xingyin heard what they said, he thought for a long time, but finally said:
"Right now... Jinyang must not be left alone! As long as Jinyang breaks through and Zhao Yang dies or escapes, then everything will still be under our control! As for Fan Gaoyi... he is just a junior, as long as we fight this If you can win, you won’t have to worry about not being able to deal with him in the future!”
Fan Jishe couldn't help but asked eagerly:
"Does it mean that... uncle still insists on attacking Jinyang? Now Han Buxin and Wei Qike may come with troops at any time?!"
Zhong Xingyin replied:
"Now that the river in Jinyang City has dried up, and we have been surrounding them for so long, if we give up now, wouldn't it be equivalent to wasting all our efforts?"
When Gao Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but kneel down and said:
"My lord! Now is not the time to care about temporary gains and losses! It is to make up your mind on how to face Han Buxin and Wei Chi who have come to attack you! If this matter is not resolved, my lord may not be able to escape the disaster in the future! "
