Chapter 724: Huan Wen's decision
Seeing that Hua'an was a little angry, Zhang Yu hesitated, hugged his fists and said: "General, there are accidents in everything, and several generals in Shu must be guarded against, and the subordinates are willing to go to Shuzhong, meet several generals in person, and tell them about the general's request for the throne, see what their attitude is, as long as they are not desperate to surrender to the court, their subordinates can persuade them, let the generals Lei and Tie continue to support the generals and be the general's subordinates." ”
When Hua'an heard this, he felt that Zhang Yu was very thoughtful, but even if Hua'an was suspicious of Thunderstorm and Iron Bull, his trust in the two was still greater than Zhang Yu's, after all, Thunderstorm and Iron Bull were simple-minded generals, and they had followed him for many years, but Zhang Yu was quite resourceful. At this point, Hua An is very worried, according to Hua An's memory, if history has not changed, Zhang Yu will be the king of Shu in twenty years, of course, at this moment, everything has changed, and the probability of Zhang Yu being the king is very small, but it is always right to be wary of it.
Hua An thought for a moment, looked at Zhang Yu, and said: "You are right, the food and salary in Shuzhong are sufficient, and the significance of our army is extremely important, you prepare it, and you will go to Shuzhong tomorrow, remember, you must stabilize the generals in Shuzhong, at least not let them oppose the generals, the grain and grass transportation in Shuzhong to Guanzhong must not be interrupted, in addition, find a way to contact the poor people in Shuzhong who have lost their fields, so that they can unite and drive away the officials sent by the imperial court." ”
"Yes, General. The subordinates will go and prepare. Seeing that Hua'an agreed to the request, Zhang Yu was extremely happy, hugged his fists and saluted, turned around and went back to the camp to prepare.
After Zhang Yu left the Chinese army's big tent, Hua'an immediately contacted the Congshi in the camp, and asked them to immediately send an order to the Congshi in Shuzhong, as long as Zhang Yu arrived in Shuzhong, he would closely monitor his every move, and report immediately if there was any abnormal situation.
After the Wise was ordered to leave. Hua An breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the main army of Yan had already left Xiangguo, and the military pressure in the north was temporarily relieved, and the fields in Guanzhong and Sizhou were on issue. Wang Meng is also doing his best. It is believed that all the fields will soon be returned to the soldiers. In order to restore the morale of the army, Hua'an believes that Zhang Yu can handle the problem in Shuzhong. Moreover, there will be many smart people around Zhang Yu to secretly supervise him, so Hua'an only needs to wait for good news and wait for the decision of the imperial court to crown the king.

In the camp of the Huan Wen army in Xiangyang City, the main general Huan Wen was reading the military book in the big tent, and a small colonel rushed in.
"General Qiyu, General Hua sent his henchmen to send a letter." The little school clenched his fists and reported.
Huan Wen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up." ”
Hearing the order, the little school handed over Hua'an's handwritten letter to Huan Wen, who gently opened the letter and read it carefully, with a different smile on the corner of his mouth.
"General, what did General Hua say in his heart?" Seeing the smile on the corner of Huan Wen's mouth, a general in the big tent of the Chinese army hurriedly asked.
Huan Wen stretched out his hand and slapped the letter on the case in front of him, and said loudly: "General Hua said that this general has worked hard and made great achievements, and he should be promoted to the throne, hahaha!" He laughed.
When the general in the middle of the tent heard this, he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "We fully support the general to become king." ”
Huan Wen waved his hand and said softly: "It doesn't matter whether you are the king or not, the important thing is that General Hua does not have much contact with the general, and now he suddenly sent a letter to support the general to be the king, don't you think there is a problem?" After speaking, he looked at the generals under his command.
Hearing this, the generals looked at each other a few times, and they all nodded in approval.
"General, the last general heard that the imperial court sent a large number of officials into Guanzhong, Sizhou and other places, and took back all the fields that General Hua had privately rewarded his subordinates, and for this reason, he almost led the army to mutiny."
"Not only that, but the last general heard that the generals under General Hua unanimously supported him as king, and used mutiny as a threat to force General Hua to submit."
"Guanzhong and Sizhou were all brought down by the soldiers under General Hua, and a part of the reward was given to his subordinates, so what's wrong, the imperial court really shouldn't take back these fields."
The ministers will speak in turn.
Huan Wen nodded, and said: "The rumors you said, the general has also heard about it, and now, General Hua has sent a letter to support the general as the king, which is enough to show that he has agreed to the request of his subordinates, and officially decided to be the king, the reason why he wants to write to the general is that he is afraid that the main force of our army will attack his flank and back after he is called the queen. ”
"The general is wise, General Hua is indeed entrapping our army, so what does the general plan to do?" One of the generals asked aloud.
Huan Wen smiled and said softly: "Let's wait and see what happens, wait for the development of the situation, in addition, the training of the main army must not be relaxed, if my Jingzhou Legion wants to become an invincible elite division in the world, we must never forget to practice." ”
"Yes, General." The ministers will lead with a loud voice.
In fact, Huan Wen has always had the ambition of being a king, and hopes to become a figure like Qin Shi Huang, so when he received Hua An's letter, he was already quite moved, but he soon realized that this was Hua An's ploy, in order to tie him and Hua An himself together, so as to put pressure on the Great Jin court together to avoid being attacked from the back road.
Huan Wen naturally didn't want to be taken advantage of, but the current situation of the Great Jin Dynasty also made him very dissatisfied, and he felt in his heart that he could take advantage of this opportunity to seek the greatest benefit for himself.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, after thinking for a long time, Huan Wen felt that once the imperial court learned that Hua'an had a bad intention to be the king, he would definitely seek advice from himself as soon as possible, and let himself be responsible for checking and balancing Hua'an, but the current world is shaking, Huan Wen naturally does not want to see through Hua'an's face, and let Yin Hao and others sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, for this reason, he is determined to take the initiative to attack and block the mouth of the imperial court.
After thinking about it again and again, Huan Wen finally picked up the brush and wrote a letter to the Great Jin court, the content of which was to fully support Hua'an as king, and told the merits of Hua'an's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, so that the Great Jin court canonized Hua'an.
After writing the fold, Huan Wen sent his henchmen and soldiers to send them to Jiankang City as quickly as possible and handed them over to the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Watching his henchmen and soldiers ride their horses out of the barracks, Huan Wen slowly breathed a sigh of relief, although he fully recommended Hua'an to be the king in the twists and turns, but he believed that as long as the Great Jin Dynasty court promised to canonize Hua'an as the king, in order to balance Hua'an, he would definitely crown himself as the king, so that he could easily obtain the king, so as to have greater prestige and appeal, and prepare to accumulate strength when Hua'an and the Yan Dynasty coalition were fighting, and annex the southern Jiao, Guangzhou, Ning and other states, and after the strength was strong enough, take the Great Jin instead.

A few days later, in the palace of Jiankang City in Jiangnan, several important officials of the imperial court gathered together, and they were discussing the issue of the Hua'an Army.
According to the spies' report, the army under the command of Hua'an has arrested all the officials they sent to Sizhou, and collected a large amount of evidence to prove that these officials are corrupt officials and corrupt officials of the common people, and are ready to escort all these officials back to Jiankang City.
Hua'an acted like this, which is tantamount to demonstrating to the Great Jin court, after all, even if these officials do all kinds of evil, but the officials are not under the control of the army, Hua'an has no right to arrest these officials sent by the court, and Hua'an is now boldly doing so, what does this mean, of course these important ministers of the court know, for this reason, they are anxious, and decided to get together and talk about this matter.
"General Hua suddenly arrested all the officials in Sizhou and other parts of our dispatch, and the officials in Guanzhong are also being arrested, which is a clear rebellion! What can I do? A minister said anxiously.
"It's all because these young people are too greedy, but this official has heard that the children we sent to Sizhou and Guanzhong, since the day they took office, began to embezzle land on a large scale, a small county order, actually embezzled as many as 10,000 hectares of fertile land, how can we not provoke the anger of the heavens and people." An important minister said angrily.
"Yes! Before leaving, I had already explained that they should stop everything in moderation, and not embezzle the land that General Hua rewarded the soldiers under his command, who knew that they would turn a deaf ear to the wind, and now they have caused such a big turmoil, not only to arrest themselves, but also to affect the court, this group of concubines. Another important minister of the court said angrily.
"Xiaguan heard that this time due to the problem of land production, the main army under General Hua once mutinied, and the main army even withdrew from Linshui City privately, and forced General Hua to make decisions for them, and even some generals even threatened to lead the army to kill Jiankang City." One of the ministers whispered.
"Ahh Kill Jiankang City, this group of martial artists, is it really going to rebel? When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked.
"The Queen Mother has a decree to let a few adults go to the Taiji Hall immediately to discuss important matters." Just when several important ministers of the court were frightened, a eunuch came to give an order.
Several ministers glanced at each other, followed behind the eunuch, and walked towards the Taiji Palace.
At this moment, in the Taiji Palace, the Empress Dowager Chu Garlic is visiting a large stack of folds sent by Hua'an's henchmen, among these twists and turns, there are Hua'an's handwritten folds, and the rest is the folds of the generals under his command who asked to canonize Hua'an as the king.
Hua An told all the officials sent by the imperial court to fish and meat the common people, as well as the mutiny in the army, and asked to be the king on the grounds of stabilizing the morale of the army and balancing the king of Yan, and said his unavoidable reason, but his words also revealed a subtle deterrent, and said that if the court could not agree, he would be unable to control the soldiers under his command, which would cause extremely strict consequences.
