"The Duke of Nanjun and Bian Fan, the prefect of Shi'an, want to see you?" As soon as Xu Zongwen returned home, Zhang Si, who was responsible for guarding Huan Xianrong, came over to report. According to Zhang Si, the Duke of Nanjun, Huan Xuan, and the prefect of Shi'an, Bian Fan, had already met. He had already arrived at the house in Xushi and could not be persuaded to leave. He waited for more than two hours just to see Xu Zongwen.
Xu Zongwen felt that the matter was not simple, and immediately invited Bian Fanzhi to meet him in the study to find out.
Huanxuan, the Duke of Nanjun, had always been on good terms with Xu Zongwen, but Bian Fan, the governor of Shi'an, came all the way from Guangzhou to Jiankang, the capital, for what important matter?
"General, you must not secretly betray the rebels! Today, when the emperor is still here, the King of Kuaiji's rebellion is against the will of the people and is unpopular. The general is in line with the general trend, punishing the rebels, and supporting the Jin Dynasty. Only by saving the Jin Dynasty can we be famous and famous throughout the ages!"
When Bian Fanzhi saw Xu Zongwen return home, he pulled Nanjun Gong Huanxuan forward. He didn't give Xu Zongwen a chance to speak. He kept talking in a small voice as soon as he came.
"General, he conquered the Huru in the north, conquered Xuzhou, conquered Qingzhou, fought in Yanzhou, captured Sizhou, regained Luoyang, defeated Mao Dang and Murong Chui, and greatly enhanced the prestige of our Han people. General, we restored the glory of our Jin Dynasty and promoted the power of our Jin army far away. , made Dihu and Xianbei surrender under the hooves of the Han people, and wiped away the national humiliation since Yongjia. He is an immortal hero of our Jin Dynasty!"
"General, please don't destroy your future, ruin your reputation, ruin the Jin Dynasty and the country, and chill the hearts of the Han people in the world!"
"I also ask the general to understand the sincerity of the official, report the emperor's favor, and obey the public opinion of the people, rein in the precipice, and stop the loss in time! Don't be a traitor who destroys the country and leaves a name in the history of the traitor..."
Xu Zongwen looked helpless. He looked at Nanjun Gong Huanxuan and saw Huanxuan's innocent face. He didn't even know what he was going to do when Bian Fanzhi pulled him up after being up so late at night. If it weren't for someone else who had an acquaintance with him, he would have ignored her long ago.
"Mr. Bian Fu, if we have something to say, we can talk inside. There are so many people talking outside, and it would be even less beautiful if there are ears across the wall. I wonder what Mr. Bian Fu wants?" Xu Zongwen tried his best to restrain himself. His midnight visit to the King of Kuaiji was just for him. What happened, where did Bian Fanzhi get the news?
Bian Fanzhi heard Xu Zongwen's intention to change his mind, so he and Huan Xuan followed Xu Zongwen into the inner room without saying much.
"Go down and don't let anyone in." Xu Zongwen closed the door and said to Zhang Sand.
"No!" Soon, ten wolf guards surrounded the study. They were all standing ten steps away, each with a strong back and a strong waist, with steel swords at their waists, and their eyes sparkled in the dark night!
Xu Zongwen comforted Bian Fanzhi and sat down. He took a sip of the hot tea prepared and looked up at Bian Fanzhi who was looking at him intently. He said slowly: "I don't know how you got the news about going to visit King Kuaiji." Known?"
Bian Fanzhi and Huan Xuan looked at each other and replied calmly: "It was the uncle who revealed the news. He came to see the general today, but the general immediately went to the Prince's Palace in Kuaiji after meeting the uncle. This really makes people have to Think more.”
"This general is already aware of the dramatic changes in Beijing. Now Shengjia is trapped in Taiwan Province. There is martial law inside and outside Jiankang. The left and right Shenwu Army, the left and right Yulin Guards, the Longxiang Army and the Huwei Army are all under the control of King Kuaiji. The situation is unfavorable. The current situation is unfavorable. If we act haphazardly in this situation, it will be like throwing an egg at a stone or a moth flying into the flame. I think we can't confront the King of Kuaiji head-on." Xu Zongwen turned the tea cup and stared at the wooden case and said calmly.
Huan Xuan's bright black eyes seemed to be fixed on Xu Zongwen. He didn't say a word, just looking forward to what was going to happen next.
On the other hand, Bian Fanzhi was different. He was entrusted by his uncle Wang Gong and his servant Yin Zhongkan to persuade Xu Zongwenxiang to help the Jin Emperor. Now Xu Zongwen went to visit Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji, and pretended to be calm. , and did not take such major events as the Emperor being trapped and the King of Kuaiji's rebellion into his mind at all!
Bian Fanzhi mocked: "According to the general's wishes, the King of Kuaiji is a swordsman, and we are just fish and meat. We can only be slaughtered by others?"
"No! At present, there is a rebellion between Sun En and Tianshijiao outside Jiangdong, and there is a rebellious party in Kuaiji that is dedicated to harming the country, imprisoning the emperor, and trying to do evil. Such a situation will never allow us to make a mistake! One move in the chess game will make us lose. If the country is overthrown and the people are in danger, we must not act rashly without more than 50% certainty!"
Xu Zongwen stood up and touched the three inches of severed beard under his chin: "I have galloped on the battlefield and experienced many battles. If you ask me to lead the troops to quell the chaos, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. But I, Xu, can say that I am very knowledgeable about the affairs of the government. I don’t know that if my trip goes wrong, it will not only be affected by Xu’s family and the nine clans, but also the wealth and lives of the emperor and all the officials! How could I not think twice and plan carefully for such an important matter? ?”
"So, Xu deliberately surrendered to the King of Kuaiji in order to reduce the King of Kuaiji's guard against Xu. Making the enemy underestimate the enemy is the first step. I have sent people to contact General Zhang Songzhi of Longxiang and Zhang Xuanzhi, Minister of Civil Affairs, and Once the loyal and brave men in the Forbidden Army gain the morale of the Forbidden Army, will they worry about being unable to overthrow King Kuaiji and Wang Guobao?"
Xu Zongwen turned around, glanced at Bian Fanzhi who was deep in thought, and returned to his original position.
Bian Fanzhi's eyes flashed, and he stood up and saluted Xu Zongwen: "Xiaoguan originally thought that the general was just a rude military commander, but he didn't expect that the general was both civil and military, and had outstanding intelligence. He had already controlled the general situation. It was really misunderstood by Xiaguan. If you kill the general, your subordinates are guilty!"
"I have already said that the general has good plans and is versatile in both civil and military affairs. Whoever dares to cause rebellion while the general is here will bring disaster upon himself!" Huan Xuan echoed from the side. He had always been optimistic about Xu Zongwen and was grateful to him.
Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji, was a mediocre man with neither talent nor virtue. He was often drunk and spoke arrogantly. He even used the incident of the great Sima Huanwen to embarrass him. If Xu Zongwen hadn't spoken uprightly in the beginning, Huanxuan would have been killed long ago. I'm so ashamed that I can't see anyone!
"Mr. Bian is not an official in the capital, but a minister of the feudal territory. He is able to deal with the urgent needs of the court and the worries of the emperor. Xu admires him! Please don't belittle yourself. We are united in response to the unity of the people and join hands to help." The Jin Dynasty’s job is to kill the traitors!”
Xu Zongwen waved his hand and shouted loudly outside the door to bring the wine. Several servants in the mansion quickly brought a jar of Sangluo wine under the supervision of the wolf guard. Xu Zongwen brought this Sangluo wine from Jingkou. It was just right now. Come in handy.
"In the near future, King Kuaiji will definitely summon hundreds of officials to the palace to discuss matters in the name of the emperor. At that time, we will catch turtles in the urn in the palace and rescue His Majesty!" Xu Zongwen raised his cup and drank it.
Bian Fanzhi nodded slightly, shook his glass and raised his glass, "With a general in charge of the plan, the Jin Dynasty is expected, how lucky are the subjects?"
For Huan Xuan, who is still young, he only tasted Sangluo Wine briefly, but he also had heroic words to accompany it: "May we successfully kill the rebels and help the Jin Dynasty and the world!"
"I hope the world will be clarified as soon as possible and the world will be unified!" Xu Zongwen thought silently in his heart and drank two more glasses.
After the incident was over, Xu Zongwen sent someone to escort Bian Fanzhi and Huan Xuan away from behind. He returned to the bedroom himself and stayed up all night!
"Husband, what happened? Yao Ji heard from Shuang Yue that there were many people in the mansion tonight. After Hua Shi left, her husband left and returned... Two hours ago, someone from the Kuaiji Palace sent a box of jade and some jade. A lot of money." Huan Xianrong leaned on Xu Zongwen's shoulder, as if he was infected by Xu Zongwen, and she kept hiding her worries and couldn't sleep.
Xu Zongwen replied in a low voice: "Just keep the things sent by King Kuaiji, don't worry. There are drastic changes in the palace right now, and the matter involves treason. I can't tell you too much. Tomorrow you should leave Jiankang City, a place of right and wrong." , only if you leave early can I feel at ease."
The word "treason" weighed more than a thousand pounds, so Huan Xianrong didn't ask any more questions. She just stared at her husband who was close at hand silently, and the sorrow was only in her heart but on her brows...
