My players are all actors

Chapter 340 The Fall of the Wei River
At the beginning, although Jieli Khan was very happy, he didn't fully believe what Zhao Deyan said.

He still hopes that Zhao Deyan can shine for the Turkic people in terms of system construction.

But as more and more news came from Chang'an, Jieli Khan couldn't help becoming more concerned about the tense political situation within the Liang Dynasty.

At this time, the court of the Liang Dynasty was clearly divided into two factions.

One of them is Liang Gaozu and the prince.These two men did not make any great efforts during the Liang Dynasty's conquest of the world. At best, they just sat in the rear and supervised the transportation of food and grass.

But after the reunification of the Liang Dynasty, they were the two with the highest status.

The other faction is King Qi and King Wei.

Although King Wei was older and made great military exploits, in general, his main talent was in hand-to-hand combat, and he didn't have the ability to strategize and win thousands of miles, so he was naturally not suitable to be an emperor.

Although King Qi is young, he is talented in military affairs. He is the top leader every time he leads troops in battle, and has a very high prestige in the army.

And King Wei was obviously closer to King Qi probably because of the war with King Qi.

The combination of these two made many generals firmly surround them, forming a force that cannot be ignored.

It can be clearly felt that the struggle between the two forces has gradually become fiercer.

What's more terrible is that these courtiers who have made great contributions in the process of conquering the world are also divided into two factions.

Among them, the princelings are headed by the prince, assisted by Princess Pingyang, Wei Zheng, and Yuchi Jingde, and Liang Gaozu vaguely stands behind and pulls the sidelines.

This is reasonable, because at the beginning, Princess Pingyang cooperated with the prince in Juxiaoguan, and Wei Zheng was immediately awarded the official position of the prince Xianma after he took refuge in the Liang Dynasty, and he was the number one person under the prince.

Many people even speculated that the crown prince was aware of Wei Zheng's many poisonous schemes, and even participated in the planning.

And because of the influence of Princess Pingyang, Yuchi Jingde, who surrendered from Liu Wuzhou and Wang Shichong, also stood by the prince.

The King Qi Party is centered on King Qi and King Wei, assisted by Yan Lide during the campaign against Chang'an, Cheng Zhijie and Qin Shubao who played an important role in the crusade against Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande.

The two sides are evenly matched, as if assigned in advance.

Of course, in addition to this, there are many outstanding civil servants and military generals throughout the Liang Dynasty, but they either choose sides or remain neutral.

This situation is obviously more dangerous than the real Xuanwu Gate incident in history.

A coup d'état is not afraid of unilateral beatings, but is afraid of mutual pecking.

Because unilateral beatings can end the coup quickly and minimize the harm to the country.This is the case with King Qin's Xuanwu Gate change in real history.

But pecking at each other will make the two forces continue to choke, and continue to consume a country's national strength.

But now the princelings and the Qi royal party are pecking at each other.

More and more news reached Jieli Khan's ears. For example, the prince wanted to hold a banquet to poison the king of Qi today, but the king didn't go. For example, the king of Qi invited the prince to go hunting, and quietly arranged for a horse to kill him. The horse wanted to throw the prince to death, but the prince was not fooled, and so on.

Putting all this information together, even ordinary people in Chang'an City knew that something big was going to happen.

Jieli Khan was naturally overjoyed. While asking Zhao Deyan to reform the system and centralize his power at a faster speed, he also prepared his troops and prepared to go south for a big fight.

Finally, after waiting anxiously for several months, Jieli Khan finally got the news he wanted to hear.

The coup did happen!
Moreover, the result of this coup was quite tragic!

According to the information from Chang'an, it is said that when the prince passed through the Xuanwu Gate and entered the palace, he was ambushed by King Qi and King Wei, but under Yuchi Jingde's life-saving guard, he escaped from the Xuanwu Gate and returned to the Prince's Mansion to launch an attack. own private soldiers.

And King Qi and King Wei also led their private soldiers, and the two sides started a fight in Xuanwu Gate.

No one saw the specific situation at that time, after all, it was in the deep palace, but two groups of men and horses rushed in armed with spears, and shouted loudly, there is absolutely no falsehood.

After that, an edict was issued to hand over the crown prince and the power of the government to King Qi.

This means: This tragic fight still ended with the victory of King Qi and King Wei.

This is also very reasonable. After all, King Qi and King Wei are the ones who fight the world with their hands. They are good at fighting. Even if the prince has Yuchi Jingde's help, it will be difficult to turn the tables.

However, the coup did not end there.

The crown prince seemed to have already prepared a counterattack. He took Yuchi Jingde and Wei Zheng out of Chang'an City and ran to Luoyang.

Although Luoyang was captured by Liang Jun, Wei Zheng has been operating here for a long time and has a deep foundation.

The prince took Luoyang as the center and called on the world to serve the king.It is said that King Qi and King Wei are rebellious and forced their father to usurp the throne, so let the people of the world join in the crusade.

Princess Pingyang responded first.

Princess Pingyang also made great contributions in the process of unifying the Liang Dynasty, but she was not in Chang'an City when the coup took place, but was guarding Jinyang to guard against Turkic attacks.

She is a hardcore princeling. After hearing that the prince was expelled and her father was placed under house arrest, she immediately led the army to the south, leaving the north empty.

Immediately afterwards, many generals from all over the country responded to the prince's call one after another, and the army began to gather in Luoyang.

But King Qi and King Wei didn't panic in the slightest. As emperors, they ordered the world to gather the elite soldiers from Guanzhong in Chang'an, obviously to make it clear that the chariots and horses would fight against Luoyang.

In terms of fighting, King Qi and King Wei have experienced hundreds of battles, which is obviously completely worthwhile.

The tragic civil war is about to break out, Xieli Khan pondered, the situation at this time should be in a state where the arrow is on the string and has to be launched, right?
As long as the two sides are really fighting, it is impossible for either side to admit defeat at this time.

There is no retreat in political struggle. After all, if you want to retreat, the political and military groups behind you cannot make you retreat. Everyone's wealth and life are all pinned on it.

Of course, if there are risks, there are.

What if the two sides are not really fighting?
But even Jieli Khan himself found this idea ridiculous.

Not really playing?

Is the conflict between the Prince and the King of Qi true in the unification of the world?

It is true that Liang Taizu took sides and balanced the forces of both sides, leading to more and more intense political struggles, right?
The coup d'état in the palace is also real, right?
The truth of all this is supported by a very solid foundation, that is, "interests".

There can only be one person in the world, the winner is the Ninth Five-Year Master, and the loser is bound to perish forever.

Under such circumstances, the conflict between the crown prince and King Qi cannot be resolved, so how could they unite and play a play together?What's more, who is acting for?Can they be sure that the Turks will definitely go south?
You can't engage in such a big battle just to amuse yourself, right?
It is absolutely impossible to think about it.

Even if one of the parties has such an idea, how can the other party cooperate?It is simply a fantasy.

In short, after thinking about it, Jieli Khan felt that this was an excellent opportunity.

So he immediately summoned the tribal leaders.

"Send troops, go south to attack Liang!"

……

On the banks of the Weishui River, the Turkic army lined up with banners flying.

Jieli Khan looked at Chang'an City in the distance, and just wanted to laugh three times.

He wanted to say: who else!

The current situation is different from the real history.

In real history, although Jieli Khan led an army to invade, he also knew that there was a King Qin who was very capable of fighting in the Liang Dynasty.

Because King Qin was too dazzling in the entire unification war to be ignored at all.So even Jieli Khan, when facing him, can feel a huge sense of oppression even if he is in an advantage.

But in this world, King Qin no longer exists.

Although in the process of unification, King Qi and King Wei also had some outstanding performances, they are completely incomparable with the original King Qin.

Jieli Khan in this plane doesn't know the existence of King Qin, but he has eyes, and he can see that King Qi and King Wei are not too much threat to him.

At this time, in Jieli Khan's view, he is the right time and place for people and gathering together.

At that time, he took the initiative to attack with the Turkic army, while the Liang Dynasty was passively defensive, and it took a lot of time to mobilize the army.

Due to the favorable location, he approached the city of Chang'an, and he fought whenever he wanted, and the cavalry came and went like the wind.

There is also the most important person, at this time, Liang Guo is fighting wildly, and the national strength is already weak, and now it is still choking.

Jieli Khan was very sure that as long as he stayed on the outskirts of Chang'an for a few days, King Qi would obediently send all kinds of gold, silver, treasures and beauties without needing to attack the city.

If Chang'an is empty, he can even capture Chang'an.

Or after Zhao Deyan completes the Turkic reforms in the future, he will lead the Turkic army to unify the Central Plains, and at the same time be the Khan of the Turkic people and the emperor of the Central Plains.

Jieli Khan said proudly: "How is it? Did King Qi reply?"

In Chang'an City at this time, King Qi was in control of the situation.Although Liang Gaozu is still there, everyone knows that he, the emperor, has been completely emptied.

As for the King of Qi, he had asked Liang Gaozu to issue an edict to make him the prince, but of course Jieli Khan still habitually called him the King of Qi.

The envoy replied: "Khan, King Qi said that he will come to the bank of the Wei River to meet Khan in person later."

Jieli Khan couldn't help laughing: "Very good, very good!"

In his opinion, his guess was obviously right.

The king of Qi must be lying, that's why he came to the bank of the Wei River to meet him in person and confessed to himself.

Moreover, this king of Qi was the one who led the army to fight after all, so he was quite courageous, and he didn't blindly hide in Chang'an city and dare not come out.

But it doesn't matter if you have the guts or not. In the face of absolute strength, it's all vain.

In this plane, Jieli Khan has not been beaten five times and three times by King Qin, so he is still very confident.

Just then, the city gate opened.

Two fast horses ran ahead, namely King Qi and King Wei.

There are also Turkic people with good eyesight who know these people and report to Jieli Khan as soon as possible.

Jieli Khan smiled slightly. These two were the core figures of the Liang Dynasty and they were inseparable.

Although King Wei is good at fighting on foot, it is indeed a bit strange to come on legs on this occasion, so he came on horseback with Mo Dao in hand, and he could still dismount in case of a fight.

But then, another person appeared behind.

Cheng Zhijie and Qin Shubao are two fierce generals on the left and right.

The people around him reported again.

Jieli Khan nodded, "Yes."

These two fierce generals are the confidantes of King Qi, so it is understandable for them to come out at this time.

But then, something seemed wrong.

Because, Wei Zheng and Princess Pingyang are also here!

Jieli Khan was taken aback when he heard these two names.

What's the situation, why are these two people in Chang'an City?
Immediately afterwards, Yuchi Jingde, the prince and many important ministers around the prince also arrived.

Finally, the soldier pushed a small cart to the bank of the Weishui River, and the others stepped aside one after another to let the cart stop in the middle.

The person above is wearing an imperial robe, so you don't need to ask to know that this is Liang Gaozu.

This time, Jieli Khan was completely shocked.

Why do some people who are theoretically impossible to appear here all appear!
The prince failed in the struggle, so the group of princelings should have fled to Luoyang, right?

Liang Gaozu was put under house arrest by King Qi, why did he come out at this time?And it seems that the status is higher than everyone?

Seeing that Liang Chao's dream team had all arrived in front of him, Jieli Khan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and he was at a loss.

Wheelchair, oh no, Meng Yuan, who plays Liang Gaozu, smiled slightly on the luxurious car like a dragon chariot.

"Xieli! You have come from a long way, but I have never greeted you from afar, so you are so rude.

"Well, as an apology, you can say whatever last words you have!"
