Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Liu Yu ’s eyes were bright and his voice was loud, and he used powerful gestures and movements to strengthen his persuasive power: “If the subordinates are distracted, they will now fall to Yan Guo, but so far, the entire Monan No tribe has betrayed Wei to vote for Yan, and there is no grace on the grassland, only recognition of strength. This shows that in the eyes of these outsiders, the Yan army will soon retreat, and the grassland will eventually return to Wei. "

He said here that his right hand waved vigorously and made a decisive action, in line with his conclusion, full of momentum.

Sima Yao was about to nod her head, but Sima Shangzhi on the other side said coldly: "Sergeant Liu, your words sound reasonable, but this general sounds flawed. You said that the Huru ’s cavalry could not fight for longer than that. In one month, the round-trip time is still counted. That Yan Army has been in the Yellow River meandering for more than ten days, and there are no tribes behind them, cattle and sheep. You said they will have to retire after another month. Is it possible that Yan Jun eats less than humans, or can he fight without cattle and sheep? Or that there are other tribes on the grassland helping them? No matter which one is different from what you said. "

Sima Yao ’s face changed slightly, and she felt quite reasonable. Looking at Liu Yu, she heard Liu Yu said indifferently: "Leading general (Sima Shangzhi ’s current official is a Chinese general, responsible for the Su Weijun It is very reasonable to say, but you have overlooked one thing, that is, the Yan army broke more than ten servant tribes in Monan before, such as Helan Department, Pulling Department, Homo Chen Department, Yuan Bone Department, etc. It also captured Shengle City and occupied Khan. "

"Tuo Bagui took what he could take away, and all that could be moved was transferred in advance, but some greedy tribes could not stand up to occupy the water source pastures he left behind. These tribes beat badly. I heard that the light It was cattle and sheep that allowed Yan Jun to seize nearly one million heads, and grain and grass also seized more than 300,000 stones. Therefore, Yan Jun can use these ready-made seizures to support his own operations, and cattle and sheep may not be able to move to Hequ in large numbers. Shepherd there, but the food is readily available. "

Sima Yao finally found a chance to speak and smiled, "Sergeant Liu, didn't you just say that these grassland hulks don't eat grains? Then where did these grains come from? It's impossible for them to learn to grow land in the grasslands Alright? "

Liu Yu shook his head: "On the grasslands, the living conditions are extremely bad. Once a drought or a natural disaster such as heavy snowfall is enough to destroy a tribe, the reason why our Central Plains are more abundant in food and clothing than them is because of us. The grain resistance can be stored for three years, even if a disaster occurs in a certain year, you can open the warehouse and put grain to survive the difficulties, but the beef and mutton cannot be preserved, at least for more than one year, so since the Huns and the Han Dynasty Since then, I have known a little about the role of this grain storage grain for disaster relief. If the grassland tribes can trade with the Central Plains, they also use cattle, sheep, and fur to exchange the Central Plains ’grain, handmade supplies, and silk. This time those The tribe broke it down, and at the same time they threw away the hard-won food, besides people, it can be said that there was almost nothing left, so they could only go to Hetao, attached to Tuobagui, even Even some of the previous nomadic powers no longer exist. "

Sima Yao nodded: "Yeah, listening to what you said, Tuobagui actually killed him with a knife, let Yan Jun teach those less honest Monan ministries, now they have suffered heavy losses, and the cattle and sheep and grains are gone. It depends entirely on the relief of Tuobagui. Naturally, he can only take orders from him. It ’s just the Hetao, can he accommodate so many tribes? "

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It's not enough to just have a hetao, so Tuobagui also seized the opportunity to seize a large number of war horses from these tribes in distress, take these horses, and pay tribute to Yao Chang in exchange for food assistance after Qin and military assistance."

Sima Shangzhi said in a deep voice: "Liu Yu, this is the matter of Wei State's mission to Qin State, how did you know a little sergeant Yulin Yuwei? This is General, but it was just news that I just knew a day ago. ! "

Liu Yu said indifferently: "Your Majesty, please forgive your sins. In the past few years, you have been working in the grasslands, and you have your own eyes and ears. Again, all this is to prepare for the loss of the Central Plains in the future. These war reports are good, diplomacy is not enough, and the humble office knows it may be earlier than your majesty. "

Sima Shang was so angry that he blushed: "You, you are still in a foreign country, just picked up a life in three fights, but dare, dare ..."

Sima Yao waved her hand: "Yes, Liu Zhongshi is also dedicated to the country. Over the years, all major families and clans have their own intelligence eyeliners. Like Xie Anxie and Xianggong, they can even deal directly with Murong. I am not alone. Liu Zhongshi, I can allow you to continue to inquire about these news, but, from now on, can you know the news and make me unnecessary to listen to the news of the Ministry of Military Affairs two or three days later? "

Liu Yu laughed: "As long as Your Majesty intends, the humble office is willing to report immediately!"

One of Sima Shang saw the emperor's attitude like this, and could only sigh: "Your Majesty, your love for talent, Weichen can understand, but indulge Liu Yu in this way, I am afraid that it will lead the loyalists to talk ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Sima Yao coldly said, "Loyalty? If the loyal minister should honestly hand over those land deeds and let the country take back the things that should belong to him, it has been more than a month, but can a family return the things on their own initiative? "

Sima Shangzhi choked so much that he couldn't respond, so he saluted and stepped aside.

Sima Yao looked at Liu Yu and continued: "So, did Yan Jun have no chance of forcing?"

Liu Yu shook his head: "The Murong Lin's sneak attack was almost the only chance. The reason why Hetao was easy to defend and difficult to attack and formed an independent kingdom on the grassland was because of this big river. At that time, Liu Weichen could not be helped, not to mention the current Tuobagui, but his strength was several times that of the Tiefu Huns. Now he has recalled the various departments of the Hetao, and let the Monan departments who came to go to visit the riverbank, even thousands of miles The Yellow River is also indispensable. Unless the Yellow River suddenly freezes and the big river becomes clear, the Yan Army can cross the river, but even so, if the Yan and Wei forces concentrate all their main forces and open their positions, In the Hetao Grassland decisive battle, the outcome is unknown. Even if the humble office is chosen, the humble office will choose Wei Guo to win. "
