Chapter 567: Laughing at the world's wolf smoke
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Yes, the fact must be like this, the Xie family's Northern Expedition is to consolidate their power, and the Huan family's Northern Expedition is to establish meritorious deeds, so as to usurp the throne and seize power, this is the fundamental difference between the two families, Murong Chui must have seen this clearly, so he will make such a deal with the Huan family, his original intention is to let the Qin army and the Beifu army fight here in Weishui, both defeated, the main force of the Qin army is lost, and the Beifu army has also suffered heavy losses and is unable to make a northern expedition." ”
Liu Yu nodded: "Then Fu Jian returned to the north, shrunk the Di forces in various places, and died in Guanzhong, there was a huge vacuum in the Central Plains and Hebei, and the Xie family, who could not afford to go north, the Beifu army would retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, at most, it would keep the land of the two Huai, and the Huan army, which had not suffered any losses, would wave its army to the north, not only to recover the Nanyang Basin, but also to recover the Central Plains from Wan and Luo. ”
Liu Muzhi said: "So Murong Chui did not hesitate to instruct Murong Lan to betray you in Shouchun City, let the Qin army get Shouchun, and force the Beifu army to fight with it in advance, just to maximize the consumption of the strength of the Beifu army, even if the Beifu army is defeated, the Qin army is also suffering heavy losses, and it is unable to conquer Jiangnan. ”
Liu Yu stomped his foot hatefully: "It's a pity that I didn't kill Fu Jian today, which broke their wishful thinking!" ”
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and Fu Jian does not die, which may not be a good thing." ”
Liu Yu's heart moved, and he looked at Liu Muzhi: "What's the good thing?" After analyzing it for so long just now, it will only cheapen the Murong family. For our Great Jin and our Beifu Army, there is no harm but no benefit. ”
Liu Muzhi laughed: "There are always advantages and disadvantages to this matter, how can it be only one-sided?" Jinu, even if the Huan family can enter the Central Plains, even if the Murong family can rise in Hebei, but this will also bring opportunities to the Beifu army. Think about it, for the emperor, is the Xie family a big threat, or the Huan family? ”
Liu Yu nodded: "Of course, the threat of the Huan family is great, the Xie family only controls the government at most, but it is not enough to threaten his throne, but Huan Wen really wanted to replace him back then, speaking of which, it was the Xie family and the Wang family who worked together to keep the throne of the Sima family." The current emperor, although he is dissatisfied with the Xianggong's control of the government, is not enough to let the Huan family control the power in order to take the metabolizer. ”
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "That's it, if the Huan family and the Murong family have a private agreement to seize Luoyang, then the situation will be similar to the situation when Huan Wen went on a northern expedition, destroyed Bashu, entered the customs, took Luoyang, and finally marched into Hebei, wanting to dominate the world. Didn't Huan Xuan make this very clear when he met you? ”
Liu Yu Zhengse said: "So you mean, if the Jingzhou soldiers and horses of the Huan family capture Luoyang, then the emperor and the family of Jiankang City will no longer create obstacles for the Xie family and the Northern Expedition of the Beifu Army?" ”
Liu Muzhi nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, after all, the Xie family has a bottom line, at least when Lord Xianggong is in power, he will not seek to seize the throne, but the Huan family is completely out of control, once they get the entire Central Plains, or even Guanzhong, it is bound to do Huan Wen's thing." Therefore, the Xie family will be released, and the Huan family will compete for time to occupy the Central Plains and Qilu. ”
Liu Yuqi said: "Won't the Huan family army turn to capture Guanzhong and establish a foundation?" Also, if they occupy Luoyang, I'm afraid that the Xie family will want to go on a northern expedition again, and it will be too late. ”
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Luoyang is a place of four stops, surrounded by various passes, such as Tiger Pass, etc., and the Yellow River in the north. But on the other hand, it is not easy to go out from Luoyang and capture the vast territory of Guandong, but it is very convenient to start from Lianghuai and move west along Bianshui, or to the north into the land of Qilu, and in terms of the speed of marching, the Beifu army will not be slower than the Jingzhou army. ”
"As for Guanzhong, there are Qiang and Di living together, it has been hundreds of years, very different from the Central Plains and Han land, and according to Murong Chui's plan, if Fu Jian shrinks his forces and tries to protect Guanzhong, the Jingzhou army will not be able to eat, when Huan Wen poured Jingzhou's military strength into Guanzhong, but he never could take Chang'an, and finally he could only retreat with all his food, suffered heavy losses, and could not slow down for several years, with this lesson, I think Huan Chong will not easily enter Guanzhong."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said: "But if Murong Chui raises troops in Hebei, he should be able to seize the land of Hebei very quickly, his Murong family Xianbei people are ambitious, and they will never be satisfied with only occupying the land of Hebei, and when the time comes, we will confront us across the river, I am afraid that we will not be able to recover the lost land for many years." ”
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "As long as the Qin army in Yecheng does not withdraw, Murong Chui will not be able to pacify Hebei so easily, I think Xuan Shuai and the Xie family will find a way to solve this problem." Actually, the last time you asked you to find Ding Lingren, it was also a dark move. ”
Liu Yuqi said: "Ding Lingren? Do you mean those robbers of the Zhai tribe? Could it be that in troubled times, they can also make a difference? In this battle of Luojian, we almost wiped out Ding Ling's main force, it is difficult for them to protect themselves, how can they stand on their own? ”
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "This strength and weakness can be continuously transformed, there are not many Xianbei people in Hebei, but Ding Ling people are scattered in the north and south of the river, Zhai's family has robbed homes and houses for many years, and the murder is remarkable. So Jinu, don't underestimate these people, although in front of you, they are vulnerable, but if it is in the Central Plains and Hebei in the troubled times, it can really make them happen. ”
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "No wonder Xuan Shuai strictly ordered me not to kill Zhai Bin and let him live." But even if the Zhai family is self-reliant, what does it have to do with Fu Pi in Yecheng? ”
Liu Muzhi said: "If Ding Lingren takes the lead in pulling the flag and rebelling, Hebei is in chaos, then Fu Pi will have an excuse not to return to Guanzhong, he is the eldest son, and after returning to Chang'an, he can only hand over the military power and live under the prince Fu Hong, which is obviously unwilling for him, the ambitious prince, before the Qin State attacked Jingzhou, the open and secret battle between the two princes was very powerful, so Fu Jian only let the other prince Fu Hui stay behind after capturing Xiangyang, and transferred both of them. With Fu Pi and tens of thousands of Qin troops in Hebei, whether it is Ding Lingren or Murong Chui, it is not so easy to quickly raise troops and stand on their own, let alone ............"
Speaking of this, Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "I think with Murong Chui's shrewdness, he won't raise troops so easily, if he guesses correctly, he will have to wait and see for a while!" ”
