Chapter 1029 Remedy (Part 1)
On July 13, the first year of Taixing in the Jin Dynasty (328), Lu Wan and his navy arrived in Liyang.
Liyang (today's He County) was originally a county in Huainan. During the reign of Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty, Liyang County and Wujiang County in the southeast of Huainan were analyzed and Liyang County was established to govern Liyang.
There is no other reason, this place is too crucial.
On the other side of Liyang is the famous Caishiji, an important ferry on the Yangtze River, so Liyang County was established - Jingkou and Liyang were also called Jianye East-West Key.
Before Sima Rui ascended the throne, he planned to build a navy here. After the founding of the country, he raised more funds and established a water and land governor of Liyang, who usually also held the post of prefect of Liyang.
After getting off the boat, Lu Wan went back home first, took off his military uniform, took a shower and changed clothes, then stepped on wooden clogs, E Guan Bo belt, and took an ox cart straight to the riverside.
"Captain." Brothers Lei Ming and Lei Dian bowed down in unison.
"I'm just seeing you two off today, no need to be polite." Lu Wan waved his hand and said.
Lei Ming and Lei Dian stood aside respectfully.
"Do you feel anything from this battle with the Liang people?" Lu Wan asked.
The wind on the river is biting and the weather is changing.
Niuzhu Mountain on the opposite bank stands tall, and Caishiji goes deep into the river, like two silent giants, quietly savoring the eternal pride flowing eastward.
"Can't beat him." Lei Ming said honestly.
After escaping from swimming, he still remembered the ferocious face under the shining lightning on that thundering night.
Perhaps, only on a bumpy ship could he have the confidence to defeat these people.
"They -" Lei Dian thought for a long time, but couldn't find the right words, and finally could only say: "It seems that he was born into the killing business."
Lu Wan nodded slightly, but he was shocked.
He also felt that Liang Jun was brave and good at fighting, and it was really difficult to compete in a short field battle, but he didn't expect that the Lei brothers were frightened like this. Is this courageous?
Thinking of this, he slightly regretted that he should have urged the Governor not to send the Lei brothers back to "report victory".
But then he thought of Lei's other identity, and could only sigh secretly and said: "After I go back, I will meet the Prime Minister first and listen to his thoughts."
"Yes." They both responded in unison.
"And -" Lu Wan thought for a while and said: "Shan Yanlin has always had a reputation for virtuous people. Although he is talking about defeat as victory, he may not be able to stop Youyou's mouth. Slanders have arisen both inside and outside Jianye, which may be harmful to the country. Prime Minister A wise man should make a decision.”
Lei Ming and Lei Dian looked at each other with a little fear in their eyes.
Two armies were deployed, with tens of thousands of troops. Not only was the effort in vain, Shouchun was also lost, and they had no choice but to withdraw from Hefei. Isn't this a defeat? Lu Shiyao must have something to say.
But where exactly it points, they don't know. There is no way, the status is too low,
Previously, I heard from my sister that Shan Yanlin would be promoted from the position of Lieutenant Colonel of the Northern Army to the position of Central Commander. Although the actual rights and responsibilities have not changed much, his official rank has been greatly improved.
If the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, will the important ministers of the Taiwan government be chosen casually?
But now it seems that someone is not going to make it easy for him. Will he be the Prime Minister?
Some people in Jianye jokingly called the Jin Dynasty "the king and the horse share the world". Three-quarters of the officials in the country came from the prime minister Wang Dao. The rapid rise of Shanxiashanyanlin may not be without reason. Will he really fail to recover?
Brothers Lei Ming and Lei Dian's minds were spinning rapidly, but they couldn't think of a reason. But one thing is clear, they are the Prime Minister's people, and they can only stand by the Prime Minister's side.
In addition, Lu Wan didn't have much friendship with the Prime Minister, and their relationship was very ordinary. He was definitely not the Prime Minister's person, but he invited their brothers here to give them some advice midway, and said some ambiguous words, which was very confusing.
Perhaps, only the Prime Minister can understand the underlying meaning of Lu Wan's words.

On the day the Lei brothers arrived in Jianye, Prince Sima Pei returned from Guangling.
In this massive war, he became almost invisible, which was both unfortunate and lucky at the same time.
Unfortunately he didn't show his face, but fortunately he didn't lose face.
But something is still wrong.
On July 14, Sima Pei convened a group of confidants he considered reliable in the East Palace for discussion.
Most of the people attending the meeting were middle and low-level officials, such as the prince, Taifu, and Shaofu, who were generally led by the prime minister, the three princes, the generals of the guards, and the chief officials of the three provinces. Sima Pei was really not qualified to order them, let alone touch them. He is cited as a confidant.
Prince Zhan, who was in charge of the palace affairs in the East Palace, was appointed and abolished from time to time. He may be in charge of both the Taifu and the Young Master, but not at this time.
Therefore, those present here are headed by Yan Han and Shen Zhen, two of the concubines (fifth rank) among the four princes.
There are also the prince's concubine (fifth rank) Jiang Ji (bīn), the prince's family order (fifth rank) Cai Shao, the rate Gengling (fifth rank) Bian Zhan, and the prince's right guard (fifth rank) Zhou Ying (yán) ), Prince Zhongsheren (sixth rank) Yu Mao, Prince Sheren (seventh rank) Ruan Ning, Prince Xima (seventh rank) Chen Da, Du Qian and more than ten people.
These are basically the teams that the prince has collected in recent years, and they are very reliable - at least that's what Sima Pei thinks.
As soon as everyone arrived, he said in a hurry: "It's urgent!"
"Your Highness." Yan Han coughed heavily and said, "The prince is responsible for the expectations of the world. He should be determined." After that, he stood up, glanced around the people in the room, and said, "It's just a little bit of wind and frost. Why?" Are you in a hurry? In this regard, the country should be the most important thing. The prince is the crown prince of the country, so you should be open-minded and don't have any sectarian views. "
Sima Pei felt ashamed when he said this.
Shen Zhen glanced at him and secretly said that Yan Hong was an upright man, and the prince, with his great reputation, only wanted to invite him to the East Palace, but he actually invited him to discuss matters, but he was confused.
Yan Hongdu would probably not behave like a villain, but today was exactly the time for the "small group" to discuss matters, so what could he do?
"Your Highness." Shen Zhen decided to come out and set the tone to prevent the wind from blowing in the wrong direction. He just heard him say: "Although the battle in Huainan is victorious, the emperor may not be able to pass it. Shanyanlin may have failed the emperor Yin after experiencing this. Hope.”
There are two "Emperors" in one sentence. The first one does refer to Sima Rui, while the second one refers to Sima Pei.
"What's your plan? Tell me quickly." Sima Pei said.
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Shen Zhen smiled faintly and said: "The ancestors made a rebellion and presented the city to surrender, which attracted Liang soldiers to move south in large numbers. Overnight, the north of the Yangtze River was no longer the king's territory. Shan Yanlin led the army to fight, but he did not regain his longevity. In the spring, I heard that they had successfully secured Liyang, Hefei and other key places. They had successively recruited thousands of soldiers from their ancestors to join them, and when they were about to retreat, they also sent navy troops to move out the people of several counties. Isn't this an achievement?"
"The obtained soldiers and civilians have reached no less than 7,000 households. Most of them are from Xu and Hezhou. They are now all sent to Wuhu. I think that it is possible to establish a state of Qiao in Wuhu County and use Shanyanlin as a prison to oversee Qiao, Huainan, and Li. The military affairs of the four counties of Yang and Lujiang."
When everyone heard this, they thought secretly.

Originally, according to the plan, after Shanya won the battle, he could take over the central leadership and serve as the important position of the Central Leader or Central Secretary Supervisor, so as to take advantage of Wang Dao's influence.
But now all is lost. If the battle is not won, it is useless to say anything.
Although the high-ranking scholars of the country have always punished three drinks of wine when judging crimes, at this juncture, it is absolutely impossible for Shan Xia to return to the center. Even the Northern Army Lieutenant Commander cannot keep it because there are too many people who want to see his jokes. Yes, it’s not just Director Wang.
So, it is better to retreat to the next best thing and still control the foreign vassals.
I don't think he will be the governor of Yangzhou Jiangbei, so he will change his name and supervise the military affairs of the four counties. He will change the soup without changing the medicine. He will avoid the limelight first.
The core key here is the attitude of the emperor.
After thinking about it, Shen Zhen had great confidence that the emperor would not hold Shan Ya accountable too much, because the emperor needed such a person to limit Director Wang's power.
"Your Highness, I came to the palace today and heard that the emperor's intention is that Liu Kun, Liu Yueshi, and Wang Shu and Wang Chuming will be in charge of the imperial army. Judging from this, the soldiers and horses from Liyang, Dongguan, and Hefei should not-" Prince Xi Ma Chen As Da spoke, he glanced at Yan Han.
Yan Han noticed his gaze, snorted coldly, stood up and saluted, and said: "There are many ministers beside the prince. I am not feeling well. Please take my leave."
After that, he left directly.
Sima Pei subconsciously stretched out his hand, then put it down slumped.
However, as soon as Yan Han left, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed.
The prince's family leader Cai Shao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Highness, if the military power of Jianye falls into the hands of Wang Maohong, the military power of Liyang and Hefei will definitely belong to others. The one who can be worried now is Zhuge Daoming. I heard that the imperial court wants to settle overseas Chinese in Jingkou. In the county, Zhuge Daoming has many refugees from the north, and even more elite soldiers, if he gets his mind on it, it may be disadvantageous.”
The refugees in Jingkou are a problem left over from history.
When the Sima Rui shogunate crossed south from Xuzhou, a large number of young Xu scholars followed them southward. At that moment, the Jiangdong wealthy family had not yet reacted, so many people poured in at once. But it is precisely because of their influx that the conflicts between Jiangdong residents and northern refugees have become acute.
From then on, except for the scholar families and their tribes, the general refugees were stopped in Jiangbei. Even many scholars who were not high enough, not famous enough, and came relatively late could only stay in Jiangbei until they were expelled. Until he becomes an official.
Zhuge Hui controlled this power. As a minister, he held Jingkou and trained 10,000 soldiers for several years.
Considering Jingkou's unique location, this power is critical.
"Absurd!" The prince's concubine Jiang Qu refuted as soon as he heard this: "Zhuge Daoming is a gentleman and loyal, so why slander him?"
Cai Shao glanced at him and sneered without saying much.
Others don't know, but he knows a little secret.
Hearing that Jiang Fei had accidentally met Zhuge Wenbiao, the Princess of Langya, he became obsessed with her and never forgot her.
But the question is do you have a chance? Even if King Langya dies, Zhuge Wenbiao will only continue to be her concubine Langya.
Is it useful to protect “the Lord” loyally?
Sima Pei didn't know about this, so he only glanced at Jiang Qi strangely and said: "Now we need to make some changes for Shanyanlin. This is the business, don't talk about other things. Do you have any good ideas?"
< br>
"This matter has to fall on the Prime Minister." After a long time, Yu Mao from Zhongshe said, cupping his hands.
Sima Pei was startled and a little confused.
At this moment, someone from the palace walked in. When he came to Sima Pei's side, he whispered a few words.
Sima Pei's face paled after hearing this, and he turned to look outside, only to see Crown Princess Shan nodding to him.
It's over, the emperor was so angry that he fell ill!
