Murong Lan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "The Xie family's Northern Expedition? Stop dreaming! Mrs. Zhang, you are in the Qin State, I don't know the inside story of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, those gate valve families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there are too many people who don't like the Xie family, and they want to replace them more, not to mention the Huan family in Jingzhou, that is, the Huiji King in Jiankang City, as well as the Taiyuan Wang family and the Langyu Wang family, all want Xie An's phase. If the pressure of the Qin State is there, they may be able to join forces temporarily, and once the Qin army retreats, they will definitely fight for power and profit again! ”

Mrs. Zhang sighed: "How could I not know these things? But Murong Lan, after all, you are a woman, you don't know about military affairs, or you only know one thing, you don't know the other, you only see that these high-ranking families want to squeeze out the Xie family in order to seize the power of the Xie family, but you can't see that the Xie family must keep the army in order to protect their own power, if the Great Qin is defeated, this Beifu army will continue to be retained, in addition to the Northern Expedition, is there any other reason? ”

Murong Lan was stunned for a moment, she really hadn't thought about this question, looking at the smile on Mrs. Zhang's face, she didn't know how to answer.

When Mrs. Zhang saw that she talked about Murong Lan's thoughts, she was even more confident, and she lightly opened her lips: "The formation of this Beifu army is itself a clever move taken by Xie An in order to avoid trouble and hand over power, but also to retain his influence on the court. On the one hand, he handed over the power of the prime minister, and on the other hand, he asked his nephew Xie Xuan to go to Jiangbei to recruit the displaced people of Lianghuai and Jingkou. ”

"You know, Wu Di is mostly the territory of the gate valve family, south of the Yangtze River, except for Jingkou, a place where the northern expatriates are placed, basically it is impossible to recruit the army, and moving those Zhuang guests in the manor is the lifeblood of the family gate valve, even if Xie Jiaken takes the lead in letting Zhuang Ke join the army, other families will not have such good intentions, so Xie Xuan thought of using the method of Jingkou overseas Chinese and Lianghuai refugees, these people are fierce and difficult to place, but because they have just gone south from the north, they still want to return to their hometown, so they can only play the banner of the Northern Expedition, They're willing to die! ”

"And those gate lords in the south, as long as they don't move their interests, and can squeeze the Xie family out of the court, they are happy to see it happen, so even if the Eastern Jin Dynasty survives this Great Qin Southern Expedition, they will definitely continue the Northern Expedition in order to retain this Northern Fu Army, and the reason why they are willing to cooperate with your Murong clan is not because they don't know your ambitions, but because they want to use your ambitions to make the north chaotic, only a chaotic and ununified north can make their Northern Expedition successful. It's a pity that your Murong family, you have exhausted all the organs, but you can't even think of this! ”

Murong Lan gritted her teeth: "The people of the north have long been disappointed in the Jin family, in the Yongjia Rebellion, the Sima regime abandoned these northern people and fled across the river in the south, although they have repeatedly made northern expeditions over the years, they have not been able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, these people have long lost confidence in them and will not support them, and for more than a hundred years, the north has long been inhabited by Han and Hu, how can these millions of Hu people of all ethnic groups have their hearts towards the Jin family?" Even if the Xie family has the intention of the Northern Expedition, it is impossible to succeed, no matter how heroic Huan Wen was back then, he could only fail to succeed, could Xie Xuan still be stronger than him? ”

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Huan Wen's Northern Expedition failed, because his motives were not pure, the Northern Expedition was not to occupy an area, but to make meritorious service, and to turn around and make himself the emperor, but the Xie family is different, their Northern Expedition is to retain the Beifu Army and retain power, and those family of gate lords in the Eastern Jin Dynasty cannot continue to support the military needs of the Beifu Army after the war, so only by laying down the territory in the north by themselves, like the Huan family in Jingzhou, can they afford to support this army." Don't you even understand this simple truth? ”

Murong Lan was speechless, and on her forehead, she began to sweat, and she muttered, "Could it be that we really deceived Xie Xuan?" ”

Mrs. Zhang looked at Murong Lan and sighed softly: "Miss Murong, the matter has come to this, it is impossible for me to help the King of Heaven win this battle, in fact, this southern expedition, I have always been against it, the north and the south are separated by a hundred years, people's hearts and customs are very different, even if the King of Heaven wins on the battlefield, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River afterwards, only his Qin State for more than a hundred years, completely assimilating the Hu people, and the people of the world are at peace, there is the possibility of unification." As for your Yan Kingdom, it originally started in Liaodong, nomadic herding, because of the fall of Later Zhao and the chaos in the world and entered the Central Plains, don't always think about the establishment of the country and the restoration of the country, you should consider staying in the Central Plains and becoming a Han talent. ”

Murong Lan gritted her teeth: "Ridiculous!" Our Dayan has also established the country for more than ten years, and lives in the eastern part of the country, if it weren't for the infighting among the clan, how could people take the country? Since our ancestors can build a country, our descendants can also build a country, just as we can calculate Fu Jian, we can also compete with Xie Xuan for the world in the future! ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled slightly: "That's right, but if you want to fight for the world, it's best to let the Heavenly King and his Great Qin not collapse so quickly, if the Heavenly King loses this time, I'm afraid that Kanto will not be able to stabilize, but if he retreats into Guanzhong, he will still be the great enemy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so that Xie Xuan's Northern Expedition will continue to compete with the Great Qin of the Heavenly King in the Central Plains, and your Murong family will have the opportunity to raise troops in Hebei and the land of Youyan!" ”

Murong Lan sneered: "Joke! Let Fu Jian escape this time, he will definitely destroy our Murong clan, how can we have a chance to restore the country? ”

Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "The situation of the Qin State, your eldest brother should be clear, you Di people, originally originated in the land of Longyou Hehuang, the land of Kanto, especially the land of Youyan in Hebei, it has nothing to do with you, if the Qin State loses this battle, in order to ensure the foundation of Guanzhong, the Di army in Yecheng, Jizhou, and Qilu will be withdrawn, and these places will leave a large blank area, and you want to restore the country, so there is a chance." If you are not greedy enough, and you still want to seize the land of Qilu in the Central Plains, it will inevitably clash head-on with the Jin army, Miss Murong, do you think that at this time, in the face of the Beifu army that has just won and is imposing, even with your brother who is the number one general in the world, what are the chances of winning? ”

Murong Lan said coldly: "These are the things that my brother has to think about, what can I do as a woman?" Mrs. Zhang, even if I let you out now, you won't be able to save Fu Jian, the Beifu army has already fought through the river, and the victory or defeat of this battle can be said to be decided. ”

Mrs. Zhang hooked the corners of her mouth: "Of course I know this, I only hope that you can consider what I said, it is more beneficial for you for the Heavenly King to live, even if the Qin army is defeated, as long as you and your eldest brother can save his life, your Yan Kingdom can successfully restore the country, as for today's dialogue, it is only between you and me two women, even if I am in front of the Heavenly King, I will not say more than half a word, and I will say it all here, no more arguments!" ”

Murong Lan pondered for a long time, and finally stomped her feet, turned around and left: "You don't move here, I'll save Fu Jian and come back!" ”
