Chapter 324: Ten Draws a National Expedition
Yao Chang smiled slightly: "King Wu's metaphor is too apt and too similar. That's right, Fu Jian is this kind of person, he has been suppressed for too long, and finally after Wang Meng's death, he wants to be in power and will break out. Moreover, he also has little confidence in whether his future Di people will be able to continue to implement his national policy and whether the world will continue to be stable, and he wants to completely dominate the world in his lifetime. ”
Murong Chui nodded: "Yes, so these two reasons made him rule out all admonitions, and he still sent troops." Today, the Ministry of War has begun to mobilize troops and horses from all walks of life, and the edict of one out of ten has also been issued, and within ten months, Fu Jian can really form an army of one million. ”
Yao Chang's face changed: "One out of ten?" ”
Murong said with a smile: "Yes, I have eyeliner in the palace, this edict has been drafted, probably being issued at this time, after we go back, we will have to recruit Ding Zhuang among the men of our clan to go on the expedition." ”
Yao Chang's brows tightened: "Even in our Hu tribe, one out of ten is a very heavy military service, is Fu Jian's brain really broken?" No one persuaded him? ”
Murong Chui laughed: "Isn't it useless for so many people to persuade him not to send troops last time, he has made up his mind, he will do it to the end, and he will either not do it, or he will do it." In fact, Fu Rong's words still have an impact on him, and he is also afraid that he will completely use their Di army to fight, in case of failure, the Di people will die too much, and the country will be shaken, so he simply treats everyone equally, whether it is the Di people, the Han people, the Xianbei people, the Qiang people, as long as it is a man, all of them have to draw one out of ten, and he hopes that if he loses, there will be no domestic chaos. ”
Yao Chang nodded: "In this way, the burden on the country will be very heavy, especially the Han people who are used to living a comfortable life, they must be full of complaints." But in this case, we Qiang and you Xianbei will also have to send a large number of men to join the army, Fu Jian is really defeated, and we will also suffer heavy losses, so it will not be easy to come back. ”
Murong Chui smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, of course we have to be very loyal when we go back, mobilize the clansmen to join the army, such a good opportunity for conscription and arming, how can we miss it?" Fu Jian usually defends us, does not give our people the opportunity to serve as soldiers, and does not distribute weapons and horses, this time we can take the opportunity to arm, after he loses, we can just use the troops in our hands to start an incident. ”
"As for what you are worried about, in fact, there is nothing to worry about, you go to Xichuan, I will go to Jingzhou, these two places will not be the main direction of attack, Fu Jian must want to avenge Junchuan, so in the Lianghuai area, he will arrange the main army of his Di clan to deal with the Beifu army. Or the rebellious heart of the little kid I just said, the more we say that the Beifu army is powerful and difficult to fight, the more he will personally fight hard, otherwise, it is not enough to prove his own ability. ”
Yao Chang said with a smile: "Very good, then losing like this is also a loss to his Di army, the Di people are few, there are only one or two million people in the country, and the men in the army are one out of ten, which is more than 100,000 people. But ............"
Speaking of this, Yao Chang's brows furrowed slightly: "There is one last question left, even if Fu Jian loses this battle in the end, how far will it lose, is it enough to make the world chaotic?" If the north is really in chaos, will the Eastern Jin Dynasty take advantage of the situation and recover the world? If we destroy Fu Qin and come to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, we will not be beneficial. ”
Murong Chui pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Judging from Fu Jian's conscription order, all places take the central city as the gathering place for conscription, Jingzhou has 100,000 elite soldiers left over from the last expedition to Huanchong, and our Xianbei and Ding Ling people are gathered in large numbers in the Luoyang area of the Central Plains, and when the time comes, Fu Jian will let the soldiers here march to Jingzhou, with Liang Cheng as the commander, and I will lead the soldiers of my clan to follow." ”
"And Yecheng, the northern soldiers in the Qilu area will gather in the Lianghuai area, Fu Rong should be in command of this army, Fu Jian himself will levy the main force of the Di people in the Longyou area of Guanzhong, cross the Yellow River and march eastward, as a backup, as for you, you will still go to Shuzhong, with the ships and naval forces built last time, down the river to support the Jingzhou front."
"The response of the Eastern Jin Dynasty must be to use Jingzhou and the soldiers and horses upstream to fight against the invading enemy, and the Beifu army as the vanguard to deal with the Qin army from Lianghuai, the imperial court will continue to recruit troops in the Sanwu area as a backup, and support the two battlefields at any time, in this way, the Eastern Jin Dynasty's levy has also reached the limit, after all, they are small and weak, and they can fight out five or six hundred thousand troops by gritting their teeth, but grain and grass will become a big problem."
Yao Chang smiled: "Yes, I ignored this, even if the Eastern Jin Dynasty can temporarily recruit a large number of soldiers, but most of their farmland grain taxes are in the hands of those high-ranking families, and the imperial court does not have much grain in stock, so if the soldiers are raised, even if they win, the grain and grass will be exhausted, because too many soldiers have been recruited, and the spring ploughing is mistaken, and there will be a food crisis in the coming year, and it is impossible to carry out a large-scale Northern Expedition in this case." ”
Murong Chui said: "Therefore, we want to let the Jin army defeat the Qin army, and it is best to eliminate Fu Jian's main force of the Di tribe, but we can't let them win too easily, let alone let them get too much grain and grass baggage, thinking that they will be the capital for further northern expeditions." Therefore, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, we still have to find a way to make those high-ranking families, as well as the black emperor, make some trouble for Xie An's uncle and nephew. ”
Yao Chang smiled slightly: "Are you sure King Wu has this ability?" Although I know that you have eyeliner in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is a bit difficult to shake the Xie family. ”
Murong sighed, with a sad look in his eyes: "If you want to destroy a country, the best way is to provoke internal strife in its upper echelons and destroy the pillars of its country. ”
The corners of Yao Chang's mouth hooked: "But back then, Murong Ping was in power in Yan Kingdom, and now the power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is in the hands of Xie An." Who can shake him? ”
Murong Chui smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a trace of deep meaning: "General Yao, you only know one thing, you don't know the other, Murong Ping is certainly a traitor who harmed me, but if it weren't for the suspicion of Murong Wei, the stupid emperor, how could he succeed?" If we want to plot against Fu Jian and ask him to kill Wang Meng or Fu Rong, is it possible? ”
Yao Chang smiled without thinking: "So, Sima Yao, Sima Daozi and Wang Guobao are Murong Wei of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Murong Ping?" ”
A cold glint flashed in Murong Chui's eyes: "Yes, I have already laid out the line, after the war, this line should also move, General Yao, let's go back and prepare well, remember our agreement, once the restoration of the country is launched, with Tongguan as the line, it will always be a good alliance!" ”
Yao Chang smiled "hehe", revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "A word is a certainty!" ”
