Xie Xuan and Wang Gong's faces changed at the same time, they looked at each other and looked at Xie An, Xie Xuan was surprised: "Why did my nephew's strategy lead to the demise of the Great Jin?" Please also ask for your attention. ”

Xie An didn't answer directly, but looked at Xie Daoyun who was on the side, and said, "Daoyun, why do you say it?" ”

The corners of Xie Daoyun's mouth hooked, and he said to Xie Xuan: "Because the land of the two Huai cannot be abandoned without a fight, once the two Huai are lost, let the Qin army easily approach the Yangtze River, then there will be changes in the interior of our Great Jin, and the people's hearts will be scattered, and it is not possible to stop it by relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River." ”

Wang Gongqi said: "Why don't you fight and abandon the two Huai, and the people's hearts will be scattered?" If the Qin army arrives at the riverside, it will only be more sincere and united. ”

Xie Daoyun shook his head: "Secretary Wang, you and Youdu have made one mistake, that is, not all families will perish because of the demise of the Great Jin. When the Yongjia Rebellion and the land of Shenzhou sank, many great families in the north did not move south, but chose to be officials in the Hu court, and they still lived well. If a benevolent monarch like Fu Jian was the emperor, someone would do it. ”

Xie Xuan gasped: "Sister is saying that there will be some thieves inside and outside the family in my Great Jin?" ”

Xie Daoyun nodded calmly: "Yes, any family will consider its own interests, our Xie family has been in power for many years, and the fortune of the family is the fortune of the country, if the Great Jin Dynasty dies, our Xie family will inevitably decline, so there is no way out." But this is not necessarily the case with other families, especially the local overseas Chinese families. ”

Wang Gong nodded thoughtfully: "What are you talking about, Zhang, Wu, Zhu, Lu, and Shen are powerful and powerful?" ”

Xie Daoyun Zhengse said: "Yes, it is these indigenous surnames, when the Great Jin Dynasty was founded and Prime Minister Wang Cheng crossed the river, he relied on various means, with the tribes of our foreign northern clans, plus the power of the imperial court, to suppress these indigenous families, occupy their land, and divide their rights, just like our current Shining Mountain Residence, which used to be the place of the Shen family." In essence, they don't have the same heart as us, and they even hate us foreign families to some extent. ”

Wang Gong sneered: "So what, they have no power and no power, those estates in the past, most of the population belongs to us, and they dare to rebel and make trouble?" ”

Xie Xuan understood a little, and sighed: "No, A-Ning, my sister is right, these families were suppressed by us northern clans back then, although the land and population were greatly reduced, but in response, our Great Jin has never conscripted troops in the land of Sanwu, and there are not many grain taxes, so this time I can only consider using the two Huai refugees to form the Beifu army, and I can't expect to recruit troops here at all." ”

"But although many of the two Huai refugees are in Jingkou, but more people, the family is in the Jiangbei and Huai regions, if we retreat without a fight, then these people's wives and children are only afraid of falling into the hands of the Qin army, and the army's heart is bound to be shaken, at this time, if we want to recruit troops and grain in Wudi, as long as these indigenous families take the lead in making trouble, the consequences will be serious."

Xie Daoyun sighed: "There is another point, that is, the problem of the Heavenly Master Dao, for many years, the Heavenly Master Dao has been preaching in Wudi, and it is highly regarded here, like their Taishang Sect Master Du Zigong, who regards the fathers and elders here as gods, and his influence is far greater than that of the Holy Lord and our big families, judging from the performance of the previous paragraph, those Heavenly Master Daoists in the army have ulterior ambitions, and they are preaching everywhere in the army, winning over the soldiers of Beifu, if they feel that our Great Jin does not have the ability to resist the Qin army, they may leave a way back for themselves, It is not impossible to incite a popular uprising in the land of Sanwu. ”

Wang Gong hooked the corners of his mouth: "However, if we retreat across the river, with the river as an obstacle, it will be impossible for them to exchange news with the Qin army." Without foreign aid, it is not so easy to rely on the natives of Wu or the Heavenly Master Dao to make trouble. ”

Xie Daoyun smiled slightly, and his lips lightly opened: "You must know that the form of Jiangnan may not be able to be blocked by a big river, if these indigenous families are interested in communicating, or if the Heavenly Master Dao intends to surrender to the enemy, they can rely on their familiarity with the local area to secretly send people across the river to communicate, and it is impossible to completely block the river for thousands of miles." Besides, if you really want to raise troops, it is impossible for the Northern Qin Army not to know. ”

Wang Gong sighed: "Then what is the best way to deal with it?" Do you want to keep them under control in advance? ”

Xie An shook his head calmly: "No, the enemy is now, and if you are distracted to deal with your own people, it will only add to the chaos." These indigenous warriors will not surrender to the Qin army at the beginning, they will wait and see the situation, if they think that our Great Jin can win, they will naturally not take risks, which is why the old man said that they can't abandon the two Huai without a fight. ”

Xie Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "My nephew understands, if we don't retreat without a fight, even if it is a feasible way militarily, but these people will think that we are afraid of the Qin army, and we will be defeated for thousands of miles, and when the time comes, people will be panicked, and some people can take the opportunity to spread rumors, saying that we are defeated in Jiangbei, and our foothold is unstable, so we can only retreat to Jiangnan, and because we want to fight against the Qin army, we will inevitably increase taxes and levy grain in Wudi, and even draw husbands to levy Ding, which is more likely to provoke a civil uprising." When the time comes, the strong enemy will be in the north of the Yangtze River, and the civil strife will start in the south of the Yangtze River, which will be an uncontrollable trend! ”

Xie An nodded: "Yes, so if I retreat to Jiangnan and abandon Lianghuai without a fight, my Great Jin will die." As you said earlier, in this way, the families of the Beifu Army will also fall into the hands of the enemy, and even this elite army will be difficult to rely on. So no matter what, you have to find a way to fight a decisive battle in Jiangbei. ”

Xie Xuan's brows were deeply locked: "Even if this is the truth, but the Qin army is powerful, we have just fought in Junchuan, and we have not had time to rest and recuperate, in terms of the art of war, our army is tired, and the mobilization and preparation of grain and grass are not in place. ”

Xie An Zhengse said: "Yes, the difficulty is very great, no one expected that Fu Jian would be ruthless this time, really poured a million troops to press, they have governed Wang Meng very well over the years, the grain storage warehouse cities around the country are full, and there is no shortage of grain, as long as it is like this time, we can immediately form a million army, we underestimated Wang Meng before." Fortunately, this person died early, otherwise, Dajin would be really in danger this time. ”

Wang Gong said with a smile: "But Wang Meng heard that he also admires Lord Xianggong, saying that you are a great man of Jiangbiao, and you can't easily cut down Jin." When he was alive, he also tried his best to prevent Fu Jian from sending troops. Now that he's gone, you must have a good way to break Qin. ”

Xie An looked solemn and nodded: "If you really want to break Qin, there are only eight words, show weakness and lure the enemy, and break it in one battle!" ”
