Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 709 Bribe him

  Liu Kun and Wang Jun, whether in public or private, Zhao Hanzhang will choose Liu Kun.

  Congregationally, she and Liu Kun are currently maintaining the rule of Jin, and they are on the same page externally and internally, and everything is based on peace and stability;

  Selfishly, she and Liu Kun are good friends now (although they have never met).

  So Zhao Hanzhang wrote a thick letter to his good friend, and handed it to Jinyang Jun and Wu Erlang together with the gift she prepared.

  She sighed: "I originally wanted to keep you for the New Year, and then set off to go back after the spring, but the situation in Jinyang has changed, so I can't force you to stay."

  She said to General Yang of the Jinyang Army who escorted the horses back this time: "General Yang, please tell Governor Liu, but if anyone can help, just ask, and I will do my best."

   General Yang Shen was so moved that he responded repeatedly, and when he returned to Jinyang, he told Liu Kun, "Inspector Zhao is a generous and gracious man."

  Liu Kun's chief secretary, Wen Qiao, said to him, "Your Majesty, you can ask Governor Zhao to help us attack Shile together."

  Liu Kun thought for a while and then shook his head, "Shi Le is vacillating now, and he never responded to Liu Yuan's call to attack me. If he asks Zhao Hanzhang to send troops at this time, wouldn't he be forced to do so?"

  He said: "I heard that Shi Le has a nephew who lives in Bingzhou with Shi Le's biological mother. You send people to search among the refugees, find him, and treat him."

  Wen Qiao nodded after thinking about it. This is a solution, but it is still not difficult to solve the urgent need.

   "Shi Le will not send troops, but Liu Cong's army is still there, and Wang Jun's army is also pressing the border. We are under the enemy's front and back. If there is no help, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on."

  Liu Kun pursed his lips and said, "Let Liu Xi block Wang Jun first, and I will write to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to mediate. At that time, we only need to concentrate on dealing with Liu Cong's army."

  He said: "At that time, please Zhao Hanzhang send troops to attack Bingzhou from the south, and come out to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao."

  But Shi Le next to him is not a fool. If Zhao Hanzhang sent troops to merge the state, if Shi Le of Shangdang did not attack Liu Kun, would he not attack Zhao Hanzhang?

   Didn't Shi Le still provoked to make a move?

  Wen Qiao complained in his heart, but he also knew that their governor didn't have much military talent, so he didn't speak up immediately.

  He didn’t say anything, but Zhao Hanzhang used soldiers like a god, and she would dissuade the governor when the time came, but:…

   "Can Wang Jun listen to His Majesty?"

  Since the death of the King of the East China Sea, Wang Jun has gradually disobeyed the orders of the court. Currently, only Gou Xi and Zhao Hanzhang are the only ones who can scare him a little.

  Wen Qiao immediately said: "Why don't you ask Governor Zhao to mediate?"

He said: "If Your Majesty can appoint the envoy as Inspector of Jizhou, then it is justifiable for General Liu and others to occupy Zhongshan and other counties now. If Inspector Zhao comes forward to mediate, the conflict with Wang Jun may be resolved. But it can't, it can be delayed for a while." Second, let's focus on dealing with Liu Cong's army first."

  Liu Kun felt that what he said was reasonable, so he immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Hanzhang and sent it to Luoyang five hundred miles away.

  At this time, snowflakes were falling one after another, and the road was not easy to walk, but the post soldiers still dutifully passed through the enemy area through the passage they opened, and delivered the letter to Zhao Hanzhang as quickly as possible.

  When the letter was delivered, the sender was breathless. Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly asked for a doctor, and then opened the letter to read.

  Perhaps it was because her previous letter was too thick, and Liu Kun's letter was also extremely thick. She read it for more than a quarter of an hour before finishing it.

  After reading it, Zhao Hanzhang handed the letter to Ji Yuan who was beside him.

   Ji Yuan took it immediately, and handed it to Ming Yu and Wei Jie after reading it.

  Zhao Hanzhang asked: "What do you think, sir?"

  Ji Yuan said: "I don't care who sent troops in advance, it is indeed a way to speak with His Majesty to designate Liu Kun as the governor of Jizhou, but can Gou Xi agree?"

  Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and thought, and said after a while: "Try."

  Zhao Hanzhang immediately wrote to the emperor.

  Ming Yu said: "Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you ask Zhao Shangshu to test His Majesty's intentions first."

  Zhao Hanzhang shook his head and said: "You see, half the life of the messenger is gone. Obviously Jinyang is in critical condition, and this matter cannot wait."

  She pondered and said: "Actually, the emperor should agree. Liu Kun has always been famous. The Huns attacked Luoyang three times, and he sent troops to contain the Huns' army twice. The key lies in Gou Xi."

  She looked at Ming Yu.

After thinking for a while, Ming Yu said: "Since Liu Kun refused to return to the court and chose to stick to Jinyang, General Gou has criticized him. However, half of Jizhou is now in Shi Le's hands, and General Gou can't touch Jizhou. , so he should not refuse to let Liu Kun be the governor of Jizhou, unless..."

  Zhao Hanzhang: "Unless what?"

  Ming Yu sighed and said: "Unless Wang Jun also asks General Gou to act, based on what I know about Wang Jun, if he bribes General Gou with gold, silver and jewels, General Gou will definitely invite him to be the governor of Jizhou."

  Zhao Hanzhang pursed his lips. Gou Xi, who was upright and upright in the past, even managed to withhold money and food from the treasury. What's so strange about accepting bribes?

  She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Wang Jun can bribe him, can't we?"

  Liu Yuan: "...Girl, our money..."

  Zhao Hanzhang said: "If Liu Kun can be appointed governor of Jizhou, the dispute between him and Wang Jun can be eliminated, and the strength can be saved to deal with Liu Yuan, it is worth the money."

   Could the gold, silver and jewelry used to bribe Gou Xi cost as much as sending troops?

Historically, this time the battle between Liu Kun and Wang Jun ended with Liu Kun's defeat. His tentacles had extended to Zhongshan County in Jizhou, but Wang Jun sent troops to kill Liu Kun's younger brother Liu Xi and captured him. All the land in Jizhou was robbed.

  Liu Kun could only continue to guard an isolated city in Jinyang. Later, the Huns wiped out Jin on a large scale, and he was powerless to resist.

  Zhao Hanzhang turned around twice, and said: "If Liu Kun can be stationed in Jizhou, when we accumulate strength and make a large-scale counterattack, we can attack the Huns and Shile with him from north to south."

  She said: "Liu Kun will send troops with us to conquer the lost land, but Wang Jun will not."

  History has come to this point, Luoyang City has not been broken, she naturally does not want the Emperor Jin to be taken away again, and the Central Plains to be occupied by the Xiongnu and Jiehu.

  She has great ambitions, but internal conflicts can be put aside first, and the robbed places of Jizhou and Bingzhou can be recovered first.

  In Zhao Hanzhang's heart, Liu Yuan and Shi Le are still the number one enemies.

  For the sake of the overall situation, she paid the money for Liu Kun first!

  Zhao Hanzhang and Ji Yuan said: "Sir, go prepare the money, and prepare for the people who are going to Yuncheng, under the banner of Governor Liu, and don't let Gou Xi know that they are my people."

  If Gou Xi knew that she paid for the people and money, he would never agree to Liu Kun being the governor of Jizhou no matter how much money he gave.

Ji Yuan thought about it for a while, and in the overall situation, Liu Kun being the governor of Jizhou is indeed more beneficial to them, so he could only endure the pain in his heart and said: "I will arrange it now, and ask Mr. Ming to help me choose something that General Gou will like. .”

  Ming Yu said: "You don't have to choose elegant things, but you will give gold, silver and jewels. He only talks about the value and has no appreciation."

  Zhao Hanzhang felt a shudder down his spine, and secretly told himself that in the future, he must not let his staff and his back, otherwise they would go outside and speak ill of her to others, thinking about it would be very social.

Good night
