Chapter 413: : If something goes wrong, there must be a demon

The small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty made a lot of noise.

   Yangzhou changed its defensive gesture, and the army began to change its offensive posture. A large number of naval vessels also concentrated on Jingkou, and the fine work of the Jin army began to appear in Xuzhou.

In part of Jingzhou, a large number of carriages continued to transport supplies to Xincai County. The governor Chu Pai wrote many more lyrical poems about the Northern Expedition. Every one of them seemed to be a little lofty and ambitious, and he described Han as ignorance. A barbarian of great heights.

"So, Huan Wen has no effect in Jiankang?" Liu Yan knew that the strategy of'He Jin' was correct, and he was working hard in this direction, or he would not send one of the Jiuqing Huan Wen as an envoy to Jiankang. Kang. He showed the irritation on his face, but it was not aimed at Huan Wen. It was: "Jingkou is the gathering place for the navy of the Jin army, isn't it?"

   Wang hurriedly nodded. The main anchorage of the Han fleet was in Jiangdu. In response, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty transferred the assembly area to Jingkou.

   Jiangdu is not far away from Jingkou. If the weather is fine and you can see each other’s water village with naked eyes, it can be said that every move between each other is basically a panoramic view.

   "The Jin Army's navy has assembled about 1,400 large and small ships, and they are constantly training day and night." Wang Meng is Liu Yan's secretary, and he has a lot of documents that he can consult, and his understanding of various parties is even better than those of high-level officials. He said a little confused: "To make such a big movement, watching the demonstration is more than an actual attack."

   Liu Yan sneered in an instant.

   The size of the Han's fleet in Jiangdu has not been less than 2,000 large and small ships, and the largest number even reached 3,000. Some time ago, the Han fleet sailed to the hinterland of the Yangtze River. At that time, the Jin Army navy didn't dare to appear in the channel of the Han fleet, and civilian fishing boats did not dare to appear in the sight of the Han fleet.

  Han has no outstanding commanders in water warfare, but no country can match the number. Liu Yan doesn't seem to need a very good commander, anyway, once a water war occurs, it will be directly consumed.

  Jiang Du Ling Fu Wei has sent a request to the center of the Han State, saying that it is necessary to teach the Jin Army navy, who is increasingly arrogant, at least to block the Jin Army navy in the water village and dare not go out.

Ji Chang suppressed Fu Wei’s request and advised Liu Yan that he would either not fight. Once the fight broke out, he would completely destroy the Jinjun navy. He should even make a landing operation instead of occupying much land. All of a sudden, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was stunned, and I will talk about the possibility of peaceful coexistence later.

   Liu Yan instructed: "Find out whether it is the appeal of the small court or a part of the family is making trouble."

   Wang Meng is naturally obliged.

   Chu Pai, the governor of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Xie Shang of the Xie clan became a political ally. Since the death of Yu Bing, what they have been doing is to erode the political power of the Yu clan and win over the aristocratic families that originally took refuge in the Yu clan.

   In this case, it stands to reason that the Chu family and the Xie family should not act rashly before suppressing and integrating the power of the Yu family.

  Huan Wenyou reported to Liu Yan in a meeting, guessing that this was the bluffing of the Chu family and the Xie family, and at the same time, taking advantage of the war of Han in the Central Plains, he wanted to rely on intimidation to take advantage of it. He proposed that the greatest possibility is to let the Han fleet disappear from the Yangtze River and transfer the territory of the north and south of the Yangtze River, including Jiangdu, to the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

   There is one thing that Liu Yan doesn't know. If history has not been changed by him, the land of Xuzhou on the north bank of the Yangtze River will indeed be taken by Yu Yi, so that Jiankang, the capital of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, will not be directly threatened.

   As the capital of the small court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jiankang was directly exposed to threats. It can be imagined how restless the small court was. He wanted to remove the threat in his dreams.

  The Han Kingdom expanded to the north bank of the Yangtze River, and Yujiang capital set up a fleet docking point. The number of ships that appeared was scary. The direct result was that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty established a defense zone at least thirty miles in depth.

It is not easy to build a large defense in depth zone. I don’t know how much manpower and material resources should be spent. Move.

   Liu Yan still very much doubted that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty could gather so many people. He thought:

   Now that history has been changed, considering that Liu Yan challenged the Sima imperial family to the Sima imperial family, it seems that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty became crazy.

   Liu Yan walked quickly to the case table. He needs to re-examine the situation of Yu's encounter in the political struggle.

  Yu clan died since Yu Bing, only Yu Yi alone was supporting the huge Yu clan.

Yu Yi was removed from many local officials, and he resigned from the vacant position of the central hub with a large reputation but no real power. If according to the previous unspoken rules of officialdom, he did this in order to retreat, and it happened to include the Xie family, Some leaders including the Chu clan stopped playing unspoken rules, which led to the concession of the Yu clan turning into a political collapse.

   "The king's thinking is correct." Xie Ai and Sang Yu were summoned by Liu Yan together. He listened to Liu Yan's thoughts and said: "There must be some reasons why it must be done, otherwise, how could the aristocratic family break the established rules?"

   Liu Yan immediately said: "What widows want to know is what ‘must do’ is what makes those clan and family members even lose face."

   Sangyu has recently paid close attention to the actions of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and discovered that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Shijie Zhao had a distant response to each other. The cooperation between the two countries can even be said to be very coordinated, and they felt a strong threat in an instant.

  The Kingdom of Han has expanded to Yuzhou, and Yuzhou is not only adjacent to Yanzhou, but even Yuzhou has a direct border with Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou. It is not an exaggeration to say that Yuzhou is a place of four wars.

   Yuzhou was recovered by the Han army for only more than a year, and the Han state has not been able to form effective control for the time being. There are local tycoons and big clans everywhere in the region.

   Ran Min brought a large number of people from Guanzhong to Yuzhou, and the number of reorganized troops was 80,000. Counting the original garrison in Yuzhou and the troops dispatched later, there is nothing wrong with saying that Yuzhou is the most important garrison in Han.

"We will let the troops in the direction of Yuzhou go northward, all the way from the southern part of Yanzhou to the Puyang battlefield. Because there is no concealment, not only Shi Jie knows his intentions, but also the small court is also clear." Sang Yu was finishing his thoughts: " The small imperial court definitely does not have hundreds of thousands of troops to go north, up to seventy to eighty thousand. Shijie’s troops in Chenliu County and Liang County should be about one hundred thousand, but it is a remnant of a defeated and low morale. military."

   Liu Yan kept his gaze on the thinking Sang Yu, and wanted to hear what new ideas he had.

"Shihu will know that Sun Fudu's subordinate is not resistant to war at all." Xie Ai is talking about the fact: "It is only 30,000 troops who set off from Xuchang in the early stage that they are pressing Sun Fudu's subordinate to fight, and they have been squeezing them. Coming to Yangcheng, will Shihu promise something to the small imperial court in order to threaten the rear of Yuzhou?"

   "It should be." Sang Yu agreed with Xie Ai's point of view, but said with a mocking smile: "The possibility of land is not high, maybe Shihu promised to become a minister or something."

   is completely possible, and it is the greatest possible. The situation on the side of the Eastern Jin Dynasty cannot be judged by common sense. Look at the interaction between Murong Jah and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and think about the relationship between Zhang’s Liangguo and the Eastern Jin Dynasty. To do something inexplicable.

   Hu Lu values ​​the name, but he doesn't value the name when necessary. Shi Hu proclaimed himself emperor first, but later changed his title to the emperor and changed his name to the emperor. Murong Jai relied on the act of becoming a minister to get a lot of support from the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, including some profitable bureaucrats, and even a large number of craftsmen. After Murong Jai said that he did not recognize his vassal relationship, he immediately did it.

   Liu Yan immediately smiled bitterly when Sang Yu and Xie Ai agreed.

   In the history of China, there are not too many things that give up actual interests for the sake of face, and it is a common practice to be fooled and played again and again.

The Sima royal family of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty now has nothing but status. The clans and families who actually ruled south of the Yangtze River will not allow their status to be shaken. It is estimated that even if they know it, they can get the status and destroy the Han country. After being teased, he was willing to cooperate with Shi Jie Zhao Guo, and even Murong Yan Guo, who had just "rebelled", would become a good friend again. The original intention may only be because Liu Yan challenged the Zhengshuo status of the small court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

   Xie Ai actually wanted to suggest Liu Yan to change some of his thoughts, such as changing the country's title, pretending to give up challenging Zhengshuo, and even accepting the ministerial act wanted by the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In this way, he can be sure that the external environment on Liu Yan's side will be completely improved.

   Xie Ai looked at Liu Yan who was talking with Sang Yu, and thought:

   Liu Yan does not agree to those things, even if it is false, he will not agree. Some things may change some harsh environments once they are done, but once the things they persist will change, they will make themselves discouraged. He is struggling with a philosophy, and he is not allowed to waver at all. Now that he took a step back, he felt that he would become a person who was accustomed to retreating. Not only would his spirit be lost, but Han was no longer the country that regained the territory of the Han family, and even wanted to open up a better future.

"There is only one way now." Sang Yu had already analyzed the situation just now. He made the final conclusion: "The Yangtze River has set up a bureau to annihilate the Jin Army navy. The army from Yuzhou... The place where they were stationed, captured the land of the three counties that they had taken advantage of from our side before, and even re-occupied Nanyang County, and they had to push Jiangxia County!"

   This time it was replaced by Liu Yan hesitating. He asked, "What can be done before the start of the battle at Puyang Battlefield?"

"My lord, the places we want to attack are all areas suitable for cavalry operations." Sang Yu looked murderous and almost gritted his teeth: "The Jin army lacks cavalry. We not only have a large number of cavalry, but also elite attackers. The city troops. It’s not enough... to consume the servants, and to gnaw over with your teeth one after another city."

Sang Yu didn’t finish his words, and the Han country absolutely cannot allow the little court in the south to do things endlessly. It can only beat the little court once for fear of pain, so that the little court is afraid to look. Look north. Otherwise, Han Guo will fight hard with Shijie Zhao Jun, or even a **** battle with Murong Yan. The little court may not be able to go north, but the little court will be exhausted to deal with things.

   Liu Yan understands what Sang Yu means, and wants to do that those who need to relax some restrictions on the servant army~www.wuxiamtl.com~ such as a large number of cavalry who form a servant army. What he needs to think about is whether he will be backlashed, and whether those who really did what Sang Yu suggested will evolve into an all-out war with the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

   "Necessary risks still need to be taken." Sang Yu said in a single word: "Transfer Tingwei back to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition, transfer Wang Pu to the deputy general, and Yuan Qiao as the head of the march."

   Liu Yan nodded without thinking for long: "Let's do it like this."

The war in Puyang County that determined the national movement was about to start. The Han army in Jizhou needed to take a defensive position. There was also a big battle in Liaodong waiting for the Han army. Opening up another southern battlefield seemed to be a big deal, but the situation did not allow the Han to retreat. .

Xie Ai was a little dazed. He wanted to know how to maintain so many fronts, but after thinking about it carefully, it was the same. The big deal is that the Han army will make the necessary retreat and shrink. The risk of destroying the country is not big, the difference is comprehensive. Adopting a defensive position, but as long as Sang Yu's suggestion is reached, the possibility of forcing the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is infinite, so that the Han army can concentrate all its forces to compete with Shijie Zhao.

"Mind?" Liu Yan had already called twice, and when Xie Ai finally recovered, he smiled and said, "It is not a warrior. The grassland needs a commander. The widow wants you to go to the grassland for full command. , Are you willing?"

   Xie Ai immediately thought: "What I think doesn't affect his reaction, so he should "promise" before asking: "Is it to respond to the situation on the battlefield in Jizhou?"

   "Directing with full authority." Liu Yan is willing to delegate power, but also dare to delegate power: "What should be done, what you want to do, what is needed, and Mingda can let it go."

   Xie Ai took a deep breath, and cautiously responded: "No!"
