Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 2431: Rising star debates Tao Gong

Xie Hui’s words are sonorous and powerful, with his gestures and determined eyes, the faster he speaks: "Now that the civil strife of the Jin Dynasty is in Fang Ping, Jingzhou has finally taken back the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and there is also the Beifu army under the command of Liu Zhenjun. Invincible, whether it is Nihu or a traitor, is vulnerable to the Northern Army."

"Jingzhou has been leveled, it is precisely the team that can assemble the victorious divisions, once again swept northward and regain lost ground, Liu Zhenjun thought of the suffering of the common people, so he temporarily suspended the troops for two years, and during the two or three years of the suspension, it happened to operate Jiangbei. In order to prepare the food and grass needed by the army, so, by the time of the next Northern Expedition, it will be successful in one fell swoop. Why should Tao Gong doubt such a simple truth?"

Fu Liang gave a sharp high-five: "Xuanming, that's good."

The generals at the scene also smiled and nodded, and Sun Chu laughed and said: "Xie Xie joined the army, you are really amazing. You are a son of the Xie family. There are a set of principles. My old grandson can't tell. what."

Yu Qiujin also nodded appreciatively, and looked at Liu Muzhi: "Liu Changshi, the ones you recommended are all talents. Before, my brothers thought you were looking for some younger brothers who could only chant poems and make fus. But this time, I was really convinced by Lao Yu."

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "You guys, I told you a long time ago. There are not all incompetent generations among the descendants of the aristocracy. There are not many capable offspring. These days, Xiao Fu and Xiao Xie joining the army are no easier than you fighting. Look at their eyes. They haven’t closed their eyes for a few days. From now on, everyone will have to work together with civil and military forces to seek a great cause."

The generals in the tent agreed in unison, Liu Yu nodded and looked at Tao Yuanming: "Mr. Tao, do you have any objections to what I said just now?"

Tao Yuanming kept squinting his eyes, without saying a word. He opened his eyes gently when he heard Liu Yu's words, and said: "Dashu, what Xiao Xie Junjun said, it sounds reasonable and powerful, but still He still didn't answer my question just now. That's why, for so many years, the Xie family and the Wang family did not operate Jiangbei?"

Xie Hui said solemnly: "I said just now, because the former minister in power had no real ambitions for the Northern Expedition, so he wouldn't manage Jiangbei, but now..."

Tao Yuanming sneered and said, "Xie Xuanming, are you trying to say that your uncle and grandfather, Xie Xianggong, and Xie Zhenjun, the predecessor of the five states, are also people who have no ambitions for the Northern Expedition?"

Xie Hui asked speechlessly. Fu Liang on one side stood up and said in a deep voice, "Tao Gong, of course the Xie family is dedicated to the country and wants to expedite the North, otherwise the Beifu army will not be formed. At that time, the former Qin army went south, and the Great Jin had no time to manage the six counties of Jiangbei. Therefore, it had to form an army in the south of the Yangtze River and attack Huainan after the training. But just like this, the Beifu army also defeated the Yuzhou army of the former Qin in the first battle. An army of 100,000 swept across the Pengcheng area. We all had this strength to hold Jiangbei back then, let alone now!"

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Xiao Fu's participation in the army is good, but Xie Xianggong was the prime minister for twenty years. He was not only the prime minister during the Battle of Feishui. In the past ten years, his old man did not manage Jiangbei. Ah, we people of Dajin, everyone knows that the Jiangbei land is a dangerous battlefield, and Hu Lu will go south at any time."

"Since the Great Jin Dynasty for a hundred years, I have been here repeatedly with Hu Lu. There are garrisons in Pengcheng and other important places. However, they will never run the village like San Wu. They are afraid that Hu Lu will go south. It is impossible to protect the vast rural land, the grain and grass that have been managed for many years are plundered by people, the population is taken captive by the enemy, and the income from the hard work for several years has been fattened by the enemy. No one dares to bear such risks.

Xie Hui gritted his teeth: "That was because the Jin Dynasty had insufficient military strength, especially in the direction of Yangzhou. There was no strong army, and it was necessary to always guard against the Huan rebellion from Jingzhou, so I could only temporarily abandon Jiangbei and gather forces in Guangling. On the front line of Jingkou, Pengcheng’s garrison was on the front line to resist and buy time for the rescue of the army. These are old things in the past. Now there is a great chaos in the north, and there are many trees. The land of Qilu where Jiangbei was directly facing is now the Murong clan of Nanyan and Yanzhou. In the Central Plains, the areas of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Post-Qin Dynasty were respectively located in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Post-Qin Dynasty. However, they did not have many troops here, which did not pose a threat to us. Only Nanyan was regarded as a threat to Jiangbei. Shocked and dared not go south. Afterwards, they signed a non-aggression agreement."

Fu Liang said with a smile: "Xuanming said that the current Three Kingdoms Husbands do not have the ability or excuses to threaten Jiangbei. It would be good if we didn't hit them. How could they dare to attack? Completely calm down. There is no need to assemble heavy defenses in Jiangzhou and Yuzhou. We have sufficient troops to protect Jiangbei. Even if Nanyan goes south, it can be easily blocked. Tao Gong is afraid that he still looks at it with his old eyes. Today's Dajin."

Tao Yuanming smiled and shook his head, and looked at Liu Yu: "It seems that the two junior soldiers do not know the real intention of the general. Then please make it clear that you are going to emigrate and develop Jiangbei in this way. How many troops are you planning to station? As for the defense, the garrison Jiangbei’s food, grass, and manpower is to supply the army or to accumulate food and grass for the future?"

Liu Muzhi's expression changed, and he said solemnly: "Tao Gong, these are military secrets and cannot be discussed here. If you want to know, you can ask the general manager privately afterwards, but here..."

Tao Yuanming looked around and said with a smile: "Really? Isn't this the commander of the Chinese army in the General's Mansion of the town army? Will there still be enemy spies here? Since it is an upright national policy, can't we discuss it here?"

Liu Muzhi's brows frowned, and he was about to speak. Liu Yu waved his hand gently: "Long history needn't say much. Since Tao Gong asked like this, here, there are no outsiders, and there is no national policy that we have formulated. You can’t speak to outsiders. It just so happens that I can explain it to everyone here, and Tao Gong can also convey it to the world’s scholars."

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "The subordinates listen carefully."

Liu Yu calmly said: "The current Jiangbei borders the Three Kingdoms. After the Qin Dynasty had just repaired it with me in the Great Jin Dynasty, and in addition to the Central Plains where it is located, it still needs to cross the borders of Yuzhou and Yanzhou from Jiangbei. But more than ten thousand, it is not a concern."

"As for the Yanzhou soldiers and horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty, they were mainly to guard against the enemy of Nanyan. Their heavy forces were not at the border with our northern Xuzhou. Although the Northern Wei Dynasty had no contact with our country since its entry into the Central Plains, it was not necessary to send large soldiers to the south. This threat can also be ignored."
