After Zhang Can and Song Miang entered the palace, they saw that Zhang Zuo had been killed by the imperial chef Xu Hei, so they gave Xu Hei a great reward, and hung Zhang Zuo's head and body at the city gate for public display.

The country can't be without a king for a day, now, Zhang Zuo has been killed, and then he has to determine the heir, for this reason, Zhang Can and Song Chao and other generals got together to discuss.

Zhang Can first said: "Generals, the country cannot be without a king for a day, on the day of the army, the general originally planned to assist the prince of the first king as the king, but was killed by Zhang Zuo, and now, the general intends to assist the brother of the prince as the king, what do you think?" ”

When all the generals saw that Zhang Jar wanted to support Zhang Yaoling's younger brother Zhang Xuanliang as the king, they all thought it was feasible, so they all supported Zhang Can's decision.

Seeing that all the generals supported their opinions, Zhang Can was very happy, and continued: "Generals, my Daliang Kingdom, since the founding of the country, has always respected the Great Jin Dynasty, the traitor Zhang Zuo does not know the height of the sky, and actually calls the emperor without authorization, this is a rebellion, this will think that the monarch of my Daliang Kingdom should be called the king, not the emperor, what do you think?" ”

"The general is right, my Daliang country is located in the northwest corner, and it should be called the king, not the emperor, besides, since Zhang Zuo claimed the emperor without authorization, Wang Meng in Guanzhong has gathered tens of thousands of troops, and it seems that there is a plan to enter Guzang, if the new monarch is still called the emperor, I am afraid that more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong will come to the nest, so, the Liang country is in danger." Said one of the generals.

When Song Chao heard this, he even hugged his fists and said: "General Zhang, since Wang Meng's army is about to move, the monarch of my Great Liang Kingdom might as well call Liangzhou Mu." In this way, Wang Meng had no reason to invade Liangguo. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Can waved his hand and said softly: "General Song is too worried, there is no need for this at all, I have been the monarch of the Great Liang Kingdom for decades, and I have not seen the Great Jin Imperial Court blame!" Go ahead and reign! ”

At this time, the soldiers and horses under the command of Zhang Can had grown to 50,000, while the soldiers and horses under the command of Song Chao were less than 20,000. Therefore. The weight of Zhang Can's speech was naturally heavier than that of Song Ming, and most of the generals also supported Zhang Can's construction.

Subsequently, with the support of Zhang Can and Song Ming, Zhang Xuanliang was proclaimed King Liang. And the jar was sealed as an envoy. Governor of the Chinese and foreign military. Shang Shuling, Liangzhou Mu, Zhangye County Gong. Song Chao was named Shang Shu's servant.

In this way, the power of the Liang Kingdom is all owned by Zhang Can, and the Liang King Zhang Xuanliang is young, just a puppet with an empty name.

In the territory of Liangguo, not all people are satisfied with Zhang Can's control of the government, and Li Yan, a native of Longxi, first erected the banner against Zhang Can, and followed the name of the Great Jin Dynasty, which can be said to be completely inconspicuous.

Zhang Can is now proud, how can he stand Li Yan's opposition, so he immediately sent his general Niu Ba to lead more than 10,000 troops to Longxi County to crusade against Li Yan, while Zhang Can continued to control the government of the entire Liang Kingdom.

In the direction of Chang'an City, Wang Meng and Xie Ai had already reorganized tens of thousands of troops and were preparing to wield their troops in the name of eliminating rebellion, but the news came that Zhang Zuo had been killed and Zhang Xuanliang had ascended the throne and claimed the throne.

This news came too quickly, which made Wang Meng and Xie Ai feel a little surprised, and now, Zhang Zuo, who openly rebelled against the Great Jin Dynasty, has been killed, and Zhang Xuanliang is also supported by the generals of the Liang Kingdom, ascended to the throne of the Liang King, and still claims to the Great Jin Court.

Xie Ai breathed a sigh of relief, he originally wanted to kill Zhang Zuo, thinking that Zhang Chonghua would take revenge, but now, Zhang Zuo has been killed, and Zhang Chonghua's second son Zhang Xuanliang has also ascended the throne as the king, so he can return to the state with confidence.

And Wang Meng didn't think so, he originally planned to take the opportunity to annex Liangguo, but now the civil strife in Liangguo has been quickly resolved, and the plan to send troops to Guzang is afraid that it will not work, and the annexation of Liangguo is only afraid that it will take a lot of twists and turns.

"General Xie, the king's own letter." At this moment, a junior colonel handed over Hua An's handwritten letter to Xie Ai.

Xie Ai hurriedly opened the reading, and after reading it, he nodded slightly, it turned out that after Hua An learned that Zhang Chonghua had died of illness and Zhang Zuo had been proclaimed emperor, he immediately wrote a handwritten letter to Xie Ai, asking Xie Ai to crusade against Zhang Zuo, and after eliminating Zhang Zuo, he immediately returned to the state to defend against the possible attack of the Daiguo army.

At this time, Zhang Zuo had been killed, and Xie Ai felt that he should immediately lead the army back to the state and continue to guard against the army of the country.

"General Wang, Xie Ai has been bothered for many days, and he will return to Merge tomorrow." Xie Ai said softly.

Wang Meng nodded and said, "Okay, Zhang Zuo has been killed, General Xie should return to the state, and Wang Meng will not be retained." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Xie Ai led the 3,000 troops of the department, left Chang'an City, and ran in the direction of Bingzhou, because some of the Liangguo soldiers missed their homeland, Xie Ai let them decide to stay, and after some consideration, the soldiers decided to follow Xie Ai back to Bingzhou, and then return to their hometown after completely defeating the two countries of the Yan Dynasty.

After Xie Ai and his troops left Chang'an, Wang Meng did not give up his plan to annex Liangguo, after all, Hua'an had officially authorized him to do so.

Although the situation in Liangguo has basically stabilized, Wang Meng still found some subtleties that can be used.

In the direction of Liangguo, first of all, Longxi County guarded Li Yan according to Shouzhou County, opposed Zhang Can's dictatorship, and provoked Zhang Can to send troops to attack Longxi County, in addition, Shangshu with nearly 20,000 troops shot Song Ming, and Zhang Can was at odds, these two problems are hidden worries within Liangguo, and they are also places where Wang Meng can take advantage.

In order to finally annex the Liang Kingdom, it is necessary to first make the Liang Kingdom chaotic again, and if the Liang Kingdom is in chaos again, it is necessary to instigate the relationship between Zhang Can and the generals such as Song Ming, so that they can attack each other again.

For this reason, after carefully understanding the irreconcilable contradictions between Zhang Can and Song Ming, Wang Meng resolutely decided to send two lobbyists to contact Zhang Can and Song Ban respectively, and tried his best to provoke the relationship between the two and report the situation to him at any time.

In order to control the situation in the direction of Guzang City in a timely manner, Wang Meng secretly went to Ji County in Qinzhou and stationed in Ji County, and all kinds of situations in Chang'an City were handed over to the deputy general to take care of.

After a qiē was ready, the two lobbyists sent by Wang Meng set off for the direction of Guzang City, and Wang Meng also brought some soldiers and horses, and ran towards Ji County day and night.

In the direction of Guzang City, with the situation of Zhang Can's dictatorship, it became more and more strict, and some ministers such as Song Chao and Zhang Can The contradiction between them and Zhang Can became more and more intense, and the relationship between the two sides has almost reached the point of being like fire and water.

In order to clear the obstacles to his dictatorship, Zhang Can sent a large army to attack Li Yan in Longxi County on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was ready to start weakening the power of Shang Shufu to shoot Song Chao.

While they were fighting with each other, two lobbyists sent by Wang Meng had already arrived in Guzang City, and immediately began to collect all kinds of information between Zhang Can and Song Chao to facilitate their lobbying.

After getting to know each other well, the two lobbyists took action, first using some means to gain the trust of Zhang Can and Song Ming, and then adding fuel and vinegar to expand the contradictions between the two sides, thus making them hate each other even more.

And all these situations were reported to Wang Meng in the direction of Jicheng as soon as possible, and waited for Wang Meng's latest instructions.

These two groups of people can be said to be completely under Wang Meng's instructions.

Seeing that the contradiction between the two sides had almost reached a white-hot stage, Wang Meng immediately asked the people who persuaded Zhang Can to build a yì to Zhang Can, kill the descendants of the Zhang family, and replace them, and at the same time, send a series of assassins, disguised as Zhang Can's cronies, to assassinate the Zhang royal family, so that Zhang Can jumped into the Yellow River and could not be washed away, and was forced to take risks.

And the people who were in charge of persuading Song Mix would tell Song Mix of Zhang Can's ambitions and let Song Mix organize an army to fight against Zhang Can.

Soon, the assassins sent by Wang Meng beheaded several members of the Zhang royal family who opposed Zhang Can's autocracy, and left some evidence to make everyone think that Zhang Can's cronies did it, so as to blame Zhang Can.

The news of the killing of several Zhang royal families who opposed Zhang Can's autocracy soon reached the ears of Song Ming, and learned that Zhang Can actually killed the royal family for his own selfish interests, Song Chao was furious, although the soldiers and horses under his command were not as strong as Zhang Can, but he was not afraid, for this reason, immediately gathered all the soldiers and horses, and played the banner of crusading against Zhang Can.

When he learned that several members of the royal family died unexpectedly, and all the evidence pointed to him, Zhang Can was very surprised, he knew that someone must be trying to frame him, but before he could investigate who framed him, Song Chao's 20,000 army had already launched a crusade, and he played the reason for killing the minister without permission.

In such a situation, Zhang Can felt very depressed, and at this moment, Wang Meng's lobbyist, who had already gained Zhang Can's trust, said to Zhang Can: "Zhang Gong, several royal families have just died, and Song Chao led the troops here, this is obviously premeditated by Song Cang, he is going to blame Zhang Gong." ”

"Yes! Several members of the royal family were killed, it must have been done by Song Ming, hum, this despicable villain. Zhang Can roared angrily.

The lobbyist then hugged his fists and said: "Zhang Gong, the killing of the royal family must have been done by Song Ming, but at the moment, all the evidence points to Zhang Gong, the king and all the descendants of the Zhang family are usually dissatisfied with Zhang Gong, and now, I am afraid that they will all be deceived by this kid Song Ming, for this reason, I am afraid that they all want to get rid of Zhang Gong and hurry up!" ”

"Hmph, this duke worked hard for the sake of the Daliang court, and the food was unpleasant, but unexpectedly, he was treated like this by the king and the ministers, which is really unreasonable." Zhang Can was completely enraged.

"Zhang Gong, since ancient times, they have been kings and losers, since they are all against Zhang Gong, Zhang Gong might as well simply get rid of them and replace them in order to achieve a hegemony." The lobbyist said while the iron was hot. (To be continued......)
