Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 2970: Contribute to the outside world

Tao Yuanming said this, raised the water cup in front of him, took a sip, and continued: "Although Sima Guofan has nothing to do, he raised troops in the name of the Sima clan and said that Liu Yu had a conspiracy to slaughter the clan. The aristocratic family that secretly dissatisfied Liu Yu will send these forces in northern Henan to secretly join Sima Guofan, and these people will truly pose a threat to the generals Liu Yu staying in the country!"

   Yao Xing said with a smile: "So, it seems that Sima Guofan is just a cover. What can really pose a threat to Liu Yu and cause turmoil in the country depends on the family behind them."

Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, in fact, few of the aristocratic families really support Liu Yu, because the scholars do not stand at the same time. Liu Yu benefits the common people by taking the benefits of the elite family. How can they be reconciled? But If no one is leading the resistance and who dares to take the lead, it will be the end of the Taiyuan Wang clan, so they can only fight against Liu Yu by supporting Liu Yi, but under the current circumstances, it is impossible for Liu Yi to raise troops and Liu Yu publicly. As an enemy, only the royal clan of the Sima clan is the most suitable for this banner. Others, such as the Huan clan, Tianshi Dao, etc., were originally usurped and rebels, and would not be followed as a family."

Yao Xing hooked the corner of his mouth: "Didn’t Lingnan still have Celestial Master Dao, did you have any contact with them? If you talk about Liu Yu’s mortal enemy, Heavenly Master Dao is the number one, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. If I support The three forces you said are raising troops, can you let the Heavenly Master Dao join in, sir?"

Tao Yuanming shook his head: "I have always been in Jingzhou and have no friendship with the celestial master. However, I think they have caused such a big turmoil in Wudi. If there is a large-scale internal and external troubles in Jin, they will be smoked everywhere. I won’t just sit back and watch, but it also takes time to prepare. Moreover, the hatred between Tianshidao and the noble family is extremely deep. If there is a war and chaos at the beginning, I am afraid that it will let the aristocratic families who could secretly support Sima Guofan, Reconsider, after all, it was Liu Yu who helped them fight away from the Heavenly Master Dao and regained their home career."

Yao Xing nodded: "Then do not consider the power of this celestial teacher for the time being, Mr. Tao, these powers you mentioned can indeed be used, but I really need to help you and help these Lius. If Yu's enemies are enemies with Liu Yu, should I start fighting with Liu Yu? I used to make peace with Liu Yu, but I returned it to the 12th county of Nanyang. Now, in order to take in Sima Guofan and them, I have to take this hard to come by. All the gestures of goodwill are ruined, do you really think it is worth it?"

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}   Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Last time your Majesty did not take the initiative to return the twelfth county of Nanyang, but Liu Yu sent me to ask for it. He was rude. First, His Majesty agreed to return the counties at that time. He did not want to use swords and soldiers for the twelve counties that could not be defended. It was an act of benevolence and no loss. Isn’t it because they were unable to defend and they withdrew and gave the captured land to Sanliang?"

"But now it's different. Liu Yu has officially begun the Northern Expedition. Nan Yan is already in danger. You have taken in Huan Qian and others, and you have given Liu Yu a reason to rise up. Even if you confiscate these people, you have also assisted Qiao Shu. , Even retreat ten thousand steps, you now occupy the space in this juncture, it is enough to be Liu Yu's reason to beat you, after all, what is the opposite of Han and Hu, the northern expedition to the Central Plains, regaining the two capitals these words, but he talked all day long. of."

Yao Xing gritted his teeth: "But for so many years, Liu Yu has only controlled the power within the Jin country. After all, the attack on Nanyan was because the Yan army blatantly attacked the Eastern Jin Dynasty, looting the people and killing the officials. As a country, it is inevitable to send troops to avenge. But I don’t have so much resentment with the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Helping Shu and taking in rebel ministers are just what everyone is doing in the troubled times. Liu Yunei has enemies and wants to realize his ideal. I’m afraid there will be more. The energy should be spent on internal governance, and it will not be such an enemy of Da Qin so easily!"

Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "It is precisely because of internal instability that Liu Yu needs to fight some must-win battles to consolidate his authority. If he can destroy the country and seize the land, he will have more distributable benefits, which can also alleviate these. Contradiction. This is why Liu Yu beat Nan Yan. I don’t know if your Majesty has noticed why when Murong De was in power, even when Liu Yu mobilized the army to fight outside the country, he did not dare to take the initiative to counter Nan Yan. , Can only be wronged and begged for peace, but as soon as Murong Chao came to the throne, he immediately found an excuse to send troops? Do you really think that Murong Chao took over two thousand people and killed hundreds of people in a predatory small-scale attack? Officials and soldiers, are they worthy of such a war of overwhelming troops to destroy the country?"

   Yao Xing frowned: "Are you trying to say that Liu Yu is sure that he will win this time when he sends troops?"

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}   Tao Yuanming’s eyes flashed coldly: "Before he dispatched troops~www.wuxiaspot.com~Although almost everyone felt hopeless, Liu Yu He also insisted on sending troops. For Liu Yu, I think that in terms of military cognition and judgment, there is almost no one in the world. He seems to be adventurous, but in fact he acted by chance, step by step to make himself invincible. "

"Just like this time, he started to slogans of revenge and hatred, destroying the country and destroying the army, and conscripted 60,000 troops. This is a powerful army that the Eastern Jin Dynasty has not produced for many years, but in fact, he began to fundamentally He did not fully attack the Yan, but only sent the pioneer troops to seize the Mulling Pass of Daxian Mountain. This shows that his goal was not to destroy the Yan in the beginning, but only to capture the Yan Nation's Shannan Prefecture. At this point, even if it is a heavy blow to Yan. The country can be regarded as an explanation for the Northern Expedition."

Yao Xing thoughtfully said: "You are right. Liu Yu did just capture the land of Shannan at the beginning, but he soon sent an army through Daxian Mountain to Linqu and fought a decisive battle with the Yan army. This is not enough risk. ?"

Tao Yuanming shook his head: "That's because Yan Guo caught him by surprise. It was too late to resist in Shannan. Instead, he withdrew from the defenders in the south and retreated to the Linqu area for defense. Even Murongchao's Armored Cavalry was later Came here."

"Liu Yu originally wanted to occupy the southern part of the mountain, but found that the defense of the Kingdom of Yan was empty, and even the vanguard troops who had crossed Daxian Mountain were welcomed and embraced by the local Han people. From this he learned that the old emperor Nanyan had passed away and the new master took the foundation. The instability, the Han people and the Xianbei people, this is a good opportunity to destroy the country in one fell swoop, so this led the troops to cross the Daxian Mountain in one fell swoop, and went to Linqu to fight the enemy."
