Vol 4 Chapter 2606: The Huaibei line of defense cannot be guarded

   He Wuji frowned: "So, the Huaibei area cannot be defended?"

   When he said this, he looked at Liu Jingxuan: "Wu Gang male, what do you think?"

Liu Jingxuan stood up and said in a deep voice: "In fact, the Huaibei area has always been difficult to defend. Before Qin went to the south, the counties in Huaibei had to resist first and then give up. Even the year before Qin went to the south, during the battle of Junchuan The Yanzhou troops of the former Qin Dynasty were in dire straits. Under the leadership of Peng Chao, they invaded south and took away large areas including Pengcheng. In this battle, I witnessed this battle, although I later eliminated all the difficult 100,000 troops, but Pengcheng was also unable to recapture it for a while, and it was not until the Feishui victory that took advantage of the Northern Expedition to recover these places."

Liu Yu nodded, and then said: "Wu Gangnan made a lot of sense. After Feishui, Pengcheng and Huaibei have been in the hands of Dajin. Because they took the opportunity to seize Qilu Qingzhou, Huaibei has always been safe. Later Zhang Yuan After the rebellion, Qingzhou became a separatist region, but it was in peace with Huaibei until Murongde entered Qingzhou after the demise of Houyan and established a pseudo-Southern Yan, and Huaibei faced a powerful foreign enemy again."

"In the past, Nanyan was not firmly established. The Northern Wei Dynasty was his bigger enemy. For the time being, he did not dare to start a war with us in the Great Jin Dynasty. During Jianyi's time, Murongde deliberately went south, but finally made a peace agreement with his minister. , And also withdrew Wu Gangnan and the former Beifu Army Liu Zhenbei who had been staying in Huaibei’s cottage units, so Nanyan’s cavalry went south again, and we didn’t even have time for warning."

   Liu Yi said coldly: "Then, according to Liu Zhenjun's meaning, I want Wugang man who is now idle at home to recruit the old department again, and then reoccupy the cottage on the front line of Huaibei and reorganize the previous defense system?"

Liu Yu shook his head: "I don't think it's so useful. Huaibei area has a Pingchuan water network, unlike Jiangnan, which can restrict the mobility of cavalry. Even if it takes up all the villages in Huaibei, it will cost more than 40,000 troops, defending from Yanzhou to The East China Sea has a line of defense for more than a thousand miles. Without the Great Wall, it can only rely on more than 30 isolated cottages and docks. Defensively, they are only isolated strongholds and cannot form the entire defense line. If the Nanyan cavalry comes again, they can bypass these strongholds. We drive straight forward. Our forces are scattered in various villages. It is impossible to gather together. It is even possible to encircle the enemy and destroy them individually."

   Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth: "In this case, it is better to build a few large military camps like Jingkou and Guangling on the front line of North Qingzhou, with tens of thousands of troops. If the enemy comes in large numbers, they will attack and fight with the enemy."

Liu Yi shook his head: "There are three large camps with tens of thousands of troops, plus the defense forces of Pengcheng, Guangling and other places, as well as the defense forces of each county. Adding up, just the six counties of Jiangbei will have more than 80,000 soldiers. Horses are stationed here. They are not the kind of people who are usually scattered and returned to agriculture and assembled in wartime. They have to be permanent and permanent. With such a large force, the court’s money and food cannot be supplied unless the taxation is fully restored in Jiangbei. In this way, the general of the town army promised at that time the three-year tax exemption commitment, and it was dismissed. Moreover, the long-term army guarded the outside, but only defended. That is a tired country and I think it is not feasible."

   Sima Dewen stomped anxiously: "According to Liu Yuzhou's statement, this will not work, and that will not work, is there no other solution?"

   Liu Yi didn't change his face and said, "Of course there is a solution, but I'm afraid Liu Zhenjun doesn't like listening."

Liu Yu calmly said: "This is a court discussion. Any method can be put forward in a fair manner. The speaker is not guilty, because it is for the sake of state affairs. Liu Yuzhou is also a state minister and general. The jurisdiction is adjacent to Jiangbei. It can be said that lips and teeth are mutually dependent. The matter of the six counties in Jiangbei also needs your contribution, so your opinion this time is very important, and your majesty and queen will definitely consider it carefully."

Liu Yi nodded: "Since this is the case, I have nothing to put down. The town army, the immigration plan of the six counties of Jiangbei, I disapproved from the beginning. At that time, you were still arguing with me and felt that I It was against you deliberately. We are brothers who have lived and died for decades. Why do I need to be an enemy of you in this kind of official business? It was because I had expected the result today, so I would speak bluntly. ."

   Liu Yu said calmly: "There is no need to mention the past, just say how to solve it in the future."

Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "In the situation of the Great Jin Dynasty, after many years of civil war, the land of Wu was broken, and Jingzhou was completely wiped out. The most important thing is not to think about the Northern Expedition and make achievements at this time. We are soldiers and need Military merit, but we are even more ministers of the country. We must consider the people of the Jin Dynasty and the Jiangshan community, and we must not put personal honor, disgrace, and the history of history above national interests."

"Immigrating to Jiangbei and Tuntian six counties is nothing more than preparing for the Northern Expedition. If it was the Dajin 20 years ago, with a solid household registration and good soldiers, then it would be fine. But now, even Wudi is barren land. , There is no farming, and the number of households in Jingzhou is less than 100,000. In this case, you should not emigrate to Jiangbei. Even, you should not keep the previous army. A large number of civilians should be enriched in Jiangnan’s manor, resume production, recuperate and live. Similarly, only in the traditional camps of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Jingkou, and Guangling, you can maintain a certain amount of force."

"You immigrated to Jiangbei, UU reading www.uukanshu.com stationed troops in six counties. This irritated Nan Yan. I changed to Murong Chao, and I would also be vigilant about it. This time I took the opportunity to looting, just to warn Dajin. , To warn you Liu Zhenjun not to provoke Nanyan. So, if you want to show your favor to him, then try to withdraw the immigrants from the six counties of Jiangbei, and just leave a small amount of troops as before. The northern fields will not be developed for the time being. Keep thousands of retired veterans, and the state can supply food and grass for surveillance purposes. With your relationship with Murong Lan, you can let her come forward and return the captives as a solution."

   Xie Hun immediately said: "Liu Yuzhou's solution is very good, and the minister seconded."

   Xi Sengshi also said, "The minister also seconded!"

Xu Xianzhi's brows frowned: "This time Nanyan will occupy my prefecture, kill my soldiers, and kidnap my people for these crimes, just forget it? Give someone a slap and make a smile, Liu Yuzhou, Liu Yuzhou, you It’s not like that before."

Liu Yi said without changing his face: "A man must be able to bend and stretch, seek a country with absolute geographicity, and not be arrogant. Back then, when Huan Xuan rebelled, when we raised troops to build up our righteousness, Murong De launched a large army to invade south, and Liu Zhenjun also went to the meeting alone. Is it to give food and to withdraw troops to show good for the Husbands? Isn't this not humiliating, and it won't be a loss? Can Liu Zhenjun be tolerant in the past, but today is not enough? The situation we are facing today is no better than it was in the past. Right. Liu Zhenjun, do you agree with what I said?"
