Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Tao Yuanming stared, gritted his teeth and said, "What else can you say? Isn't it just pleading through Murong Lan, saying that if Da Jin and Nan Yan go to war, they will only lose both sides. It will make Bei think of Wei, and Gui Chu will get an advantage." Class. Oh, yes, wake up, that Huanxuan also threatened that he would use you as a general to attack the Central Plains in the north and recover the lost land. This also includes Nanyan as the goal. Hmph, it’s all for these Hulu Just leave an excuse to send troops!

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This time, you're right about a small part. Yes, one of Murong De's excuses for sending troops is indeed because Huan Xuan once presented to the court, saying that he wanted the Northern Expedition, but that was just a show. At the same time, he ordered Sima Dezong to issue an edict, saying that the Great Jin had been fighting for years and needed to recuperate, and the Northern Expedition was not allowed.

One of Murong De's excuses for his grand martial arts lectures was indeed to prevent and counter Huan Xuan's Northern Expedition, but after gathering his troops, he simply said that he would take the initiative to invade the South as a preemptive strike.

Speaking of this, Liu Yu changed the subject: "However, these are just excuses. How can we need them to conquer the world? When Nanyan invaded Qingzhou and eliminated the separatist regime of the Pi Chuang clan, why was it ever offended by the Pi Lu clan? , invaded?

"Murong De dared to send troops to the south for two real reasons. Internally, he wanted to appease and satisfy the Xianbei nobles' desire for conquest. Externally, he also wanted to restore the Great Jin Dynasty through my just raising troops to overthrow Huan Xuan. When it's stable, see if you can take advantage of it.

"After all, Jiangbei has long been a semi-abandoned area of ​​the Jin Dynasty. Although it can't provide many resources, it is a land of thousands of miles. If it can be won, it is also a big strategic rear. If we take the opportunity, we can seize Yuzhou and fill the state. , then Nanyan can be regarded as having the land of Jianghuai, and its strategic situation is far stronger than when only the land of Qilu is left.

"It's just that he speaks bold words, but he is still cautious. The strength of the Beifu Army is not something he can ignore. Even if there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, if it is in my hands, it is still possible to defeat him, or fight with him. Because of his stalemate ability, he sent troops with great momentum, but the actual marching speed was very slow. He didn't even send a large army to seize the Dafan Pass and the Muling Pass area. of.

Tao Yuanming sneered and said, "It's not that simple. I remember that Liu Jingxuan was the one who caused the trouble. He actually wanted to assassinate Murong De and seize the land of Nanyan. This caused Nanyan's army to go south. The whole world knows about it. Isn't it true? Do you still want to avoid talking about it?

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I'm still saying the same thing. Piluhun neither assassinated Murongde nor threatened to recover the land of Houyan in Hebei, but he was also attacked by Murongde who fled after the country was destroyed. The excuse was It’s something that literati only do, but for these warlords and marshals, it’s up to you whether you want to do it or not. In the end I went to Murong De to tell him that Ah Shou is my brother, and his business is my business. No matter how serious the mistake is, I will apologize on his behalf and bear all this for him.

Tao Yuanming laughed: "What a big tone. Liu Yu, who do you think you are, who do you think Liu Jingxuan is? He is just a bereaved dog who was forced by Huan Xuan and had nowhere to go. He fled to Nanyan and was taken in by Murong De And asylum, but in the end, he avenged his kindness and wanted to assassinate Murong De and seize the throne himself. Do you want to protect such a ignorant and moral person?

Liu Yu nodded firmly and said: "I will protect you, no matter how big a mistake Ah Shou made, he is still my brother, and, later on, I also found out that this is the black robe playing tricks in the middle, pretending to be elegant To instigate him to assassinate Murong De, and use Nanyan soldiers to seek revenge. Anyway, Ah Shou really has no reason to justify this matter, but he is my brother, and I will bear it for him.

"Carry it? Can you carry it? No Mu Tao Yuanming sneered: Rong Lan interceded for you, Murong De will retreat? Stop dreaming, you just have a good wife.

Liu Yu shook his head: "It has nothing to do with Alan. What really makes Murong De dare not march is the strength of our Great Jin. I can raise an army of two thousand people to overthrow the throne of Huanxuan who has more than one hundred thousand soldiers, and fight him all over the world for many years. The invincible Jingzhou Corps was wiped out in one fell swoop, and he had to flee back to Jingzhou after a few days of beating. Do you know what this means in the eyes of Murong De, who has fought all his life?

Tao Yuanming's expression changed, and he shook his head and said, "You just relied on the Beifu army's defection to win by chance. It seems that the Huanchu army is ten

Yu Wan, but more than half of them are from the former Beifu Army, if they hadn't helped you, how could you have won?"

Liu Yu laughed: "But I have the ability to defeat Huan Xuan's most elite tens of thousands of the main force of the Chu army with the two thousand Jingkou old troops, forcing Huan Xuan to take the risk of defection and separate the Beifu army headquarters with the Chu army. The rest of the army were mixed together and sent to the battlefield, and finally, as you said, the whole army was wiped out. Nanyan soldiers and horses seem to have more than 400,000 soldiers, but about 300,000 are only strong men from the Han Dynasty in Qingzhou. In Murong De's view, these are the same as Huan Xuan's Beifu Army, whose position may change at any time due to changes in the war.

"The battle of Feishui was like this back then. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The Qin army seemed to have millions of troops, but the soldiers and horses of other clans were just bluffing to preserve their own strength. Only the clan army led by Fu Rong contributed. Fight to the death, as long as we defeat the Qin army of more than 200,000 clans, we can completely defeat Fu Jian. Murong De is also facing such troubles. If he attacks us head-on and the battle is not good, the entire army may collapse and change.

Tao Yuanming said in a deep voice: "At that time, you had no more than 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses, and you had to divide your troops to defend everywhere, and you had to send troops west to challenge Xiangxuan. You couldn't even concentrate your forces to fight a decisive battle with the Yan army, so why are you so arrogant? Can you defeat even hundreds of thousands of Xianbei iron cavalry? If I were Murongde, I would just treat your bluff as fart, and just wave my army to kill you!

Liu Yu laughed: "You're right. Murongde did tell me that when we were negotiating at Muling Pass, but I also made it clear to him that if he thinks he can win the battle, he can The land of the Jianghuai River, where the waterways are criss-crossed, also wiped out me like Piluhun, so you can let the horse come over, just like Fu Jian, bet on the survival of the entire Nanyan, and try to see if it can succeed.

Tao Yuanming's eyes sparkled, and he was speechless, "Let me tell you, Tao Liuyu stood up, and said loudly: Yuanming, Husband Zhan, also has courage. Murong De has already proved one thing when he came to negotiate with me." The thing is that his subordinates, including the Xianbei soldiers, don't want to fight!
