Chapter 124: The Battle of the Waters 3
Zhu Xu led the generals to guard day and night, very tired, and the Qin soldiers retreated farther, Zhu Xu estimated that the Qin soldiers would not come again soon, so the soldiers were tired and slack, and the garrison became imprudent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At this time, Xiangyang Taishou Yamen had a traitor, and the superintendent Li Bohu secretly revealed this main information to the Qin soldiers, Fu Pi's troops took advantage of the weakness to enter, Li Bohu acted as an internal response, and the Qin army quickly broke through Xiangyang City.
Fu Pi captured Shi Dao'an, Xi Chiaoya, and Zhu Xu, and returned victorious. Fu Jian sent an army of 100,000 to attack Xiangyang, and the spoils of war were three captives of Shi Dao'an, Xi Chiaoya, and Zhu Xu, and one captured Xiangyang City for him, and obtained the three captives of Xiangyang Governor Li Bohu.
Regarding Li Bohu, Fu Jian did not thank him, but thought that Li Bohu was a person who was disloyal to the country and the Lord, and killed him as soon as he arrived in Chang'an. And Zhu Xu guarded the city, stubbornly resisted, and killed a lot of officers and soldiers of the former Qin, Fu Jian thought that this was a responsibility that should be fulfilled by the history of the past, and treated him with courtesy.
But Zhu Xu didn't think that he could get preferential treatment, so he was willing to serve Qin, and he took advantage of the unprepared guards to escape all the way to Yiyang and hid in Xia Yu's house. Fu Jian judged according to the clues of spiders and worms, and arrested Xia Hui, Zhu Xu refused to drag him down, and he also knew that he could no longer escape, so he surrendered to Fu Hui. Fu Jian learned that he did not pursue it, but appointed Zhu Xu as Shangshu.
When Fu Pi and Shi Dao'an and Xi Chisel saw Fu Jian, Fu Jian immediately walked down to the palace and personally helped Dao'an to apologize. And settled Dao'an in the five-fold temple in Chang'an, and let him receive disciples.
Dao'an's idea at this moment is different from Zhu Xu's, he will spread hundreds of disciples in the Yangtze River valley and convey Buddhism in the south, he has no worries, he can just display his talents in the Yellow River Valley. It didn't take long for thousands of monks to take refuge in him. Fu Jian is extremely flattering to Dao'an, and he is even more impressed by Dao'an's practice and learning.
He also issued an edict, ordering all civil and military officials to consult Master Dao'an if they did not understand anything. He went out on his own tour, and he also wanted Dao'an to sit in his car with him, and he said to the servant official Quan Yi: "I used an army of 100,000 to capture Xiangyang, and all I got was one and a half people, Dao'an Gong was a perfect person, and Xi Chisel was a half person." ”
Fu Jian is an emperor who cherishes talents, after Shi Dao'an arrived in Chang'an, he suggested that Master Kumarosh of the Western Regions of Qiuci Kingdom should be invited to study the teachings of Buddhism together, because King Qiuci did not agree, Fu Jian sent two generals, Lu Guang and Jiang Fei, to conquer.
He wanted to arrange a government of talents, so he thought of Emperor Xiaowu of Jin as his servant and archer, and Xie An, the prime minister of Jin, as his servant. And despite the persuasion of Guan An and the minister, he personally led 850,000 troops and horses to conquer the Eastern Jin Dynasty, resulting in the famous Battle of Weishui in history.
Fu Jian sent Peng Chao to besiege Pengcheng, and the Battle of Huainan broke out in Qin, Jin, and Huainan. Xie An deployed defense in Jiankang, and ordered Xie Xuan to lead 50,000 Beifu soldiers to raise troops from Guangling, Xie Xuan won four battles and four victories, and completely annihilated the enemy. Xie An was feudal Chang County Duke because of his merits, and Xie Xuan was named the Marquis of Dongxing County.
At that time, the only people who were not under the jurisdiction of the former Qin were the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was located in the southeast of An. Fu Jian, relying on his strong army, was determined to destroy the Eastern Jin Dynasty and unify the country, and he launched the famous Battle of Weishui in history.
At this time, it was Xie An who was in power in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie An was quite knowledgeable, and the relationship between the ruling class was harmonious. Huan Chong, who cooperated with him, Huan Chong was the general of the Chinese army, supervising the military affairs of Yang, Henan, and Jiang prefectures, and the two prefectures of Yang and Henan were assassinated, and the town guarded the aunt. Huan Chong can take care of the overall situation, although there is a conflict with Xie An, but he can be loyal to the royal family, loyal and strategic, every time he tries his best, Huan Chong thinks that his virtue is not as good as Xie An, so he is entrusted to the prime minister, and the Quartet Town defends it as his own responsibility.
Xie An and Huan Chong were one in the imperial court and one in the upper reaches, at that time, Huan and Xie both had military power in their hands, and the two families cooperated and coexisted.
On the eve of the Battle of Weishui, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was dominated by the Beifu soldiers. The Beifu soldiers were a capable and powerful army, and the Beifu referred to Jingkou, and the displaced people from Yanzhou and Xuzhou in the north lived in the area of Jingkou and Changzhou. The Eastern Jin Dynasty set up Southern Yanzhou and Southern Xuzhou to settle these expatriates.
These expatriates from the north were so strong that they were recruited as soldiers to form a strong army. Xie Xuan served as the assassin of Yanzhou, led the Guangling minister, supervised the military of Jiangbei, Xie Xuan took Liu Jiaozhi as the army, led the elite as the vanguard, won a hundred battles, and was known as the Beifu soldiers, so that the enemy was afraid of it.
The exiles from the North to the South were initially not burdened with rent and forced labor. Later, in order to rectify the household registration and make the overseas Chinese also bear the burden of servitude, they carried out land severance many times. Before the Weishui War, Huan Wen was in charge of a soil break, known as the Gengxu system in history, which was relatively thorough and had the effect of wealth and wealth. From a financial point of view, the period before the Battle of Weishui was also a period when the Eastern Jin Dynasty had relatively sufficient financial resources.
Before the Battle of Weishui, Fu Jian had discussed the issue of cutting down the Jin with his princes and ministers, and he first confided his thoughts and said: "I have inherited the great cause, and it has been twenty years, and all the nationalities have been unified by me, but the Jin Kingdom in the southeast corner has not yet been included in my feet." I think every day that if the world is not unified, it will make me unable to eat and sleep, and today I want to use the world's soldiers to conquer the Jin Kingdom, and the soldiers who can be dispatched can have 970,000 soldiers. I will lead a large army to set off to conquer the Jin Kingdom in the south, what do you want?"
The princes and ministers who participated in the court meeting were almost all against the Jin Dynasty. At this time, Wang Meng was dead, and Fu Jian's half-brother Fu Rong, the general of Zhengnan, the crown prince Fu Hong, the central public Fu Xu, and even the great monk Dao'an, whom Fu Jian respected, all opposed the Jin.
After the dissolution of the court, Fu Jian left Fu Rong alone to discuss. Fu Jian said: "Since ancient times, there have only been one or two decision-makers for major events. Confusion in the crowd will only confuse people's will, and this matter will be decided by me and you. ”
Fu Rong said: "The flow of the year to the Bullfighting Palace is the blessing of Wu and Vietnam, and it cannot be crusaded, which is one of the reasons." The Jin Kingdom has been recuperating in recent years, and the courtiers and soldiers have used their lives and cannot be crusaded, which is the second reason. Our army has gone through several battles, and the soldiers are tired and tired, and they have the intention of fearing the enemy, so they cannot crusade, and this is the third reason. All the ministers are admonishing that it is not feasible, it is really the best policy, and I hope that Your Majesty will accept the good words. ”
Fu Jian's face changed when he heard this, and he said: "I can't imagine that you are the same, who else can I tell about the affairs of the world? Today I have millions of male soldiers, and the materials are piled up, with the divine power of our army, which is tired of fighting and victorious, to attack the dying in the south, how can there be any reason not to conquer it? If I don't go to war, the thief country will leave behind the descendants of the disaster, and it will be the worry of my sect temple and society." ”
Fu Rong cried and said: "The Jin Kingdom really can't be crusaded, it will waste the army to attack, and it will definitely return in vain." What worries the minister is that this is all there is to it. His Majesty favors the Xianbei people, and the Qiang people and the Qiang people are all over the country. Today, the army of the whole country will attack, if there are people of different races and renegades, they will take this opportunity to make trouble, the prison country will stay in Beijing with weak troops, and the Xianbei people, Qiang people, and Qianren people will gather like a forest, they are the thieves of the country, and they are our enemies. ”
"The minister's panic is not only in vain, but may not be perfect. The minister's intellect is shallow, and it is really not enough to believe it, but Wang Meng is a generation of wizards, and His Majesty often compares him to Kong Ming, and His Majesty cannot forget his last words. ”
Fu Rong said that Wang Meng's last words on his deathbed were: "Although the Jin Dynasty is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it is orthodox in China, and it is peaceful from top to bottom. After the death of the minister, His Majesty must not try to destroy the Jin Dynasty. Xianbei and Xiqiang subdued the nobles and thieves, and they are the enemies of our country, and sooner or later they will become a scourge, and they should be gradually eradicated for the benefit of the country. ”
Wang Meng and Fu Rong said that the Jin State cannot be crusaded, and there are two core issues. The first is that the soldiers are tired and unwilling to fight again, and the second is that Xianbei and Qiang are the troubles of their henchmen. Judging by the outcome of the war, both problems exist.
After Fu Jian destroyed Yan, he did not kill Murong Wu, the lord of Yan, and the princes and ministers of Yan, but still made them officials and maintained a certain political status. He replied to Fu Rong and said: "Today, the four seas are peaceful, the people of Li should be appeased, the Yi and Di people should get along peacefully, I finally mixed the six tribes into one family, all people are like my sons, you should treat them equally, don't take it to heart." ”
These words expressed Fu Jian's open-mindedness as a ruler of the country, but these ideas were unrealistic at the time. At that time, the conquered nobles of various nationalities would not be satisfied with their current status, and Fu Jian did not consider this, and later suffered this loss in the war.
