Chapter 457
As soon as these words were said, the soldiers on the front of the city became turbulent. No one was willing to fight with Wei Feng. But don’t be fools. Everyone could see that Huan Xuan was in a desperate situation, let alone Wei Feng could defeat even the Wei people. What is the mere Jiangling?
"Okay!" Bian Fanzhi replied: "General Wei will not deceive me with just one word. Fan Zhi can be the master of the Nanjun Duke. He will leave the city before dark today. Before that, he will hold the lord and the queen in the former Han Linjiang Palace. Please rest assured General Wei. The mansion has been repaired by the Nanjun Duke and was originally used as an official palace!"
Huan Xuan did not notice that Bian Fanzhi's name had changed, but felt that he should not respond so hastyly, so he grabbed Bian Fanzhi and asked, "Sir, what if the Wei surnamed Wei's promise is not kept?"
Bian Fanzhi said without hesitation: "General Wei is a trusted man. He personally promised you to leave in front of the 100,000 armies. How could he regret it? Please forgive Fanzhi for saying that Nanjun Duke's head is no longer important to General Wei. The future world is the battle between General Wei and the Northern Prefecture Army. If he lets you go, he is not worried that you will make a comeback. Instead, because Your Majesty and the Queen are taken hostage by you, he has to let you go a way out for life in order to save the Lord. People in the world will only praise him for loyalty and righteousness, so you should prepare quickly and leave Jiangling as soon as possible."
Huan Xuan asked again: "Sir, where can we go west?"
Bian Fanzhi pondered: "You can go to the governor of Liangzhou Huan Xi first. Although Huan Xi did not have much contact with you due to his ancestor Huan Mi, his surname was always Huan. Moreover, Hanzhong is a place with four barriers, so it is even more difficult to get in. If you enter Hanzhong, it is equivalent to showing the people of the world that you have never had the desire to compete for hegemony. Perhaps it is not impossible to spend the rest of your life."
Huan Xuan thought about it, nodded and said, "Mr. Binyi."
Bian Fanzhi bowed down: "Fan Zhi and the Duke of Nanjun are going to make preparations and say goodbye!"
Wei Feng called out, "Mr. Bian, this journey is difficult, life and death are unpredictable. Besides, there is no place for you to live in the world except me. I don't know if you are willing to serve me? Don't worry, I will never pursue Huan Xuan within a month!"
Bian Fanzhi was shocked all over and his struggle was unconcealed. He was arrogant and learned, so he naturally did not want to be trapped in Hanzhong for the rest of his life. Wei Feng was strong and even if he lost to Liu Yu in the future, he could protect himself by taking advantage of the upper reaches of the river. It can be said that it is indeed a good choice to be under Wei Feng's command.
However, Bian Fanzhi is not a ruthless person, and he can't convince himself if he betrays Huan Xuan.
Bian Fanzhi subconsciously looked at Huan Xuan. Seeing Huan Xuan's anxious gaze, Huan Xuan was no longer available, and he still trusted him quite. He couldn't help but feel soft and smiled bitterly and said, "One servant will not serve the second master, Fan Zhi can only feel guilty of General Wei's affection."
Wei Feng stopped persuading and said solemnly: "Mr. Bian is loyal and righteous, I will not say much. If Mr. Bian wants to come in the future, he can come to me at any time, please stop."
"Thank you, General Wei!" Bian Fanzhi bowed deeply and signaled Huangmen to help Huan Xuan up. Sima Dezong and Wang Shenai, and then turned around and left.
......
At about noon, Huan Xuan led only hundreds of family members to leave Jiangling. Obviously most people were unwilling to follow him. Wei Feng immediately led his troops into the city. On the one hand, he comforted the people, on the other hand, he recruited surrendered soldiers and captured the remnants of the Huan family, and also checked the treasury. Fortunately, Bian Fanzhi was very tactful. In addition to Huan Xuan's private storage, food, grass, and military armor were all intact. The Jiangling area has a fertile field of thousands of miles. After years of accumulation, there are actually a huge amount of grain, nearly 10,000 pieces of cloth, and some gold, silver and other things. This is obviously an unexpected harvest.
After roughly arranged, Wei Feng hurried into the palace to meet Sima Dezong and Wang Shenai.
It seemed that we had expected Wei Feng to come, and Sima Dezong and Wang Shenai changed into their clothes and sat upright in the head of the hall.
Wei Feng bowed respectfully and said: "My minister Wei Feng meets His Majesty and His Highness!"
Wang Shenai raised his jade hand lightly: "General Wei doesn't have to be too polite."
Wei Feng thanked him and stood up, Wang Shenai took away the maid from the yellow gate and walked over.
Wei Feng was a little stunned, but just stared blankly. Wang Shenai had no intention of stopping. He stopped until he was about three feet away.
As the emperor, Sima Dezong lies half lying on the couch alone, while his beautiful queen is standing face to face with him. If he hadn't known the person Wang Shen loved, Wei Feng might have thought that this woman would throw herself into her arms.
When he was secretly puzzled, Wang Shenai said, "I and my husband, thank you for your kindness in General Wei for your rescue!"
Wei Feng's mind immediately replied to Qingming. Wang Shenai's words revealed two meanings. First of all, she was a married woman, implicitly reminding her. After all, Wei Feng wanted to invade her, and she had no ability to resist. Moreover, Jiangling was different from Jiankang. He had many eyes to monitor her from the side. Although Huan Xuan coveted her, he did not dare to do anything. This is also an important reason why she could maintain chastity. Jiangling was far away from the power center of the court, Wei Feng was fully capable of covering the sky with one hand. If he was really dirty, he would not be able to spread it at all.
Another point is that Wang Shenai no longer calls Sima Dezong and himself His Majesty and this palace, and the meaning of this is self-evident.
Wei Feng immediately flashed to the side and said humbly: "The queen has ruined me. Before I go to war, my wife Wang Man repeatedly entrusted her to ensure the safety of the queen and Your Majesty. What's more, the queen is kind to me. I am still grateful to me. I want to ask the queen to thank her again."
A hint of nostalgia appeared in Wang Shenai's beautiful eyes, and murmured: "Is it okay for Sister Man'er? Her three-year mourning period was early, so should she have a child?"
Wei Feng smiled slightly and said, "Thank the Queen Ji Yan, everything is fine. Wang Man gave birth to a child last year. I have sent the news back not long ago. If it goes well, I will be able to come here within half a year and I can visit the Queen often at that time."
"That's good!" Wang Shenai nodded, and suddenly his pretty face turned solemn, and he said seriously: "The Jin Dynasty has been in a century of breath and finally came to an end. General Wei will not make any mistakes in the future. I will only ask for one thing. General Wei will think of it in front of Man'er's sister. Don't harm the husband. The husband is born stupid and will not get in the way. He needs only two meals a day. In return, I will do my best to cooperate with you and help you ascend the throne."
Wei Feng didn't expect that Wang Shenai would say this as soon as he opened his mouth, and couldn't help but look at Wang Shenai. Wang Shenai sighed to himself: "I'm afraid he doesn't know who I am, but no matter what, I always have the name of a husband and wife, I just hope he can have a good end." After that, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Wei Feng with a faint look.
Wei Feng also sighed secretly. He understood that with the king's love nature, it was impossible to betray this fool emperor. This was a morality and a responsibility, which made the little fantasy of king's love disappear immediately.
As for his love for Wang Shen, Wei Feng had no idea at all. If he didn't say anything else, at least Wang Man and Xie Daoyun would not let him go!
Wei Feng gave a solemn greeting: "Please rest assured to the Queen, I will do my best to make Your Majesty spend the rest of your life!"
Wang Shen smiled with relief, picked up a few silk books on the table, handed them over and said, "General Wei, please take a look first, if there is any inappropriate concubine, please modify it."
Wei Feng received it and looked carefully. It turned out to be an imperial edict. Because of his contribution to the attack on Huan Xuan, he appointed himself as Duke of Xiangyang County, General of the Northern Expedition, the Third Division of the Founding of the Ministry of Public Security, the Governor of the Two Prefectures of Jingjiang, and the General of the World Military Affairs. He used the Minister of State to record the affairs of the Shangshu, added the fake Huang Yue, Yu Bao drum, and twenty people of Ban Jian!
Wei Feng just turned his eyes away, and Wang Shenai added: "General Wei, you can just plan the rewards for others."
At this point, being polite would seem hypocritical. Wei Feng thanked him and then said goodbye.
After leaving the Linjiang Palace, Wei Feng immediately returned to the county and issued a series of orders, firstly, divided the three counties of Gaoliang, Xinning and Jinkang in Guangzhou into Gaozhou, and the prefecture was in Anning, Feng Ying was in Gaozhou, and then divided the five counties of Cangwu, Yulin, Yongping, Guilin, and Jinxing in Guangzhou into Guizhou, and the prefecture was in Tanzhong (now Liuzhou City, Guangxi). Qiu'an, the former prefect of Guilin, was in Guizhou, and the second was divided into Kuaiji, Dongyang, Xin'an, Yongjia, Linhai, and Juzhang in Yangzhou into Zhejiang, and Chu Yan was in Zhejiang.
Again, it was a personnel appointment. His subordinate Wei Ce was transferred to the governor of Xiangzhou, Xie Gongyi was appointed as the chief of the General's Office of the North, and Chen Xi, Jiang Xuan and other generals also awarded the general's title. As for the officials of Jiankang such as Xie Hun and Wang Ningzhi, Wei Feng was not recruited, and he was unwilling to leave a different impression of establishing a court. Jiankang was only temporarily in the hands of Liu Yu and would always go back in the future. Of course, if someone left Jiankang and took the initiative to vote, he would not be able to keep people from thousands of miles away.
Later, we will eliminate the remnants of Huan Xuan, such as Huan Zhen, Huan Qian and others. In the name of clearing the remnants of Huan Xuan, we will disperse the powerful clans of Jingzhou. Regardless of the scholars and commoners, who are unwilling to dismiss the servant army, will be immediately labeled as Tonghuan. Under the iron-blooded skills, the clans will be surrendered more and more. Wei Feng will select talents and be assigned to officials in various places, most of which are common people. This is completely contrary to his behavior in Guangzhou. You must know that the scholars in Jingzhou and the Huan family have almost all their close ties. If you have the opportunity to eradicate the power of scholars with righteousness, Wei Feng will naturally not let it go.
Before he knew it, half a month passed. On July 16th, news of Huan Xuan's death came. Huan Xuan originally planned to take refuge in Hanzhong, but the lieutenant Mao Xuzhi lured Huan Xuan into Shu. Huan Xuan ignored Bian Fanzhi's opposition and even set off the plan for Yizhou and headed towards Bashu.
At that time, the governor of Ningzhou, Mao Fu, died. The governor of Yizhou, sent his nephew Mao Youzhi and Fei Tian, and others to lead hundreds of people to send Mao Fu to Jiangling. They met Huan Xuan on the way. The two were overjoyed and immediately attacked Huan Xuan. The governor of Yizhou Feng Qian seized the opportunity and cut off Huan Xuan's head with one knife. Hundreds of people accompanied him, including Bian Fanzhi, Huan Xuan's son Huan Sheng and Huan Xuan's wife Liu, and the rest of the maids and concubines were all captured.
Wei Feng was a little confused. He had the intention to recruit Bian Fanzhi at the beginning, but what else could he do if Bian Fanzhi was loyal to the lord? Although he knew that Bian Fanzhi could only seek death after following Huan Xuan, he had no way to keep him. (To be continued...)
