Sima Zhen smiled and nodded, motioned to the eunuch beside him to help him up, and said, "I'm already old, and I'll leave the war to you." Oops, I haven't fought for a long time, in fact, I still feel a little sorry for the Empress Dowager Cao, she is a woman, fighting at home and outside, how many times she has been on the verge of extinction, but she just doesn't fall. Maybe that's the fate. ”

"Brother Huang thinks we should cross the river and occupy Huainan, or attack Jingzhou?" The Eighth Prince, Sima Wuci, asked.

The old emperor Sima Zhen stroked his beard and said, "If Huainan is also occupied, will the grain of the Liang State still be enough?" If they have nothing to eat, how can they fight against those strong enemies in the north? ”

Sima Wuci smiled helplessly and bowed to leave.

Sima Zhen, the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty, was a long-lived emperor, ascended the throne at the age of twenty-two, and became an emperor of Jiazi, now eighty-two years old, in the past sixty years, there has been no large-scale war in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the economic and cultural undertakings in the south of the Yangtze River have been unprecedentedly improved.

Southern Jin Dynasty, the country of great wealth.

The annual income of the Liang Dynasty was not as good as one-fifth of the annual income of the Jin Dynasty, but the Liang Dynasty had to fight against more than a dozen countries such as the Northeast Nanjia, Youlu, Fuyu, Zhengbei Donghu, Northwest Sangla, Xinwai Khanate, Golden Horde, Turkic Tribes, Shu Han in the southwest, and Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were enemies in all aspects.

Liang Chao was swaying, but he just didn't fall.

How did she do it?

As Sima Zhen, who has enjoyed happiness all his life, it is unimaginable, so he sincerely admires Beiliang, he really doesn't want to send troops to attack, let Beiliang cross the Jiangbei, block the various forces in the north for him to go south, and he continues to be his free emperor, isn't this good?

Do you have to wipe out Beiliang, and then touch these unfortunate things yourself?

Because of his thoughts, it directly led to the peace of the Southern Jin Dynasty for 60 years, and the war in the north for many years, many people crossed the river to Jiangnan, which made the population of Jiangnan increase explosively.

In this way, when it comes to population, economy, and military strength, the Southern Jin Dynasty surpassed the Liang Dynasty in all aspects.

But one thing is worth noting, the current Southern Jin Dynasty, due to the maximization of material, extravagance prevailed, men are not proud of the mighty and majestic, but like women, painted and smeared with powder, compared to whose face is whiter, better dressed than whom, more generous than whom.

The men are feminine. On the other hand, women are strong and domineering, and the divorce rate has increased year after year, and at the same time, women who are to be married in the boudoir are also willing to be lonely in their homes rather than married.

In the face of this phenomenon, many Southern Jin Dynasty advisers have raised their concerns to the emperor, hoping that the Southern Jin Dynasty will be prepared for danger in times of peace and cannot always let this form develop.

However, Emperor Sima Zhen said: "Under my rule, the Great Jin Dynasty did not fight for 60 years, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the lonely and widowed old people I sent people to raise them, and the orphans living on the streets I built nursing homes for them. Which of my people doesn't enjoy Long's life? You advisers, talk all day long, and you know the trouble of finding me, but if you are allowed to be the emperor, can you have a good fortune? ”

Yan Songling, the first assistant minister of the Southern Jin Dynasty cabinet, said: "The reason why the Southern Jin Dynasty can have sixty years of peace is not because the dynasty is rich and strong, but because the Northern Liang has been in the war Zheng Ruruif the Northern Liang eliminates the battle between the gate valves, and then gets a few years of respite, I think, they will definitely come to attack the Southern Jin Dynasty." The Northern Dynasty has been fighting for many years, although poor, but famous generals gathered, with a large number of generals and soldiers who can fight well, on the other hand, our Southern Jin Dynasty, the army has also begun to prevail in the style of extravagance and laziness, the generals do not seriously train the army, and the soldiers are lazy like beggars. Can such an army win the war? ”

Xin Wuxian, the deputy auxiliary minister of the cabinet, said: "Just now Lord Yan mentioned the word rich and strong, which is the key point, and now I am in the Jin Dynasty, although I am rich, but not strong." Although there are a million soldiers, how many people can fight in the war? Pull out and fight with Beiliang, one million may not be able to beat 300,000 people......"

"Enough!" The old emperor said angrily: "You old immortals, you are beside me, you are a great civil official!" Gaozu ordered not to kill Wenchen, so he made you accustomed to all kinds of problems, and dared to blame me! I understand what you think, thinking that when I cut off your heads, you can go down in history and become a person admired by future generations, but I am a faint king, and I kill the loyal and good in vain. You are holding hostage, this is slander! ”

The Emperor of the Northern Liang Dynasty became worried about various wars, occasionally stopped fighting, and had to worry about the economy and people's livelihood.

The emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty was nothing serious, but he was also worried, because every day in the court, he had to quarrel with the ministers, under the leadership of the two cabinet ministers, the temper of the Southern Jin Dynasty Imperial Historian was quite big, and the emperor wanted to find an extra daughter-in-law without schooling

A group of civil officials who don't want to die, verbal and written, too many women in the harem, or too beautiful, will hurt the emperor's body, and the ministers do not allow the emperor not to take care of his body.

When civil officials speak, they will first stand on the moral high ground, I scold you for your own good, can you still turn against me?

I scold you, you still have to laugh and listen, after listening, you still have to praise me, if you don't praise me, you are a faint king.

As a result, as soon as the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty came to court, he basically had nothing else to do, just to find someone to be scolded.

After being scolded, I have to smile and smile at all "Aiqing", I know all your good intentions, and I will pay attention to these next time.

This time, there was finally a chance, the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty decided to fight a turnaround battle, and after hearing the fall of the Meng family that occupied Jingzhou, he wanted to let Sima Wuci lead the troops to seize Jingzhou. At the same time, they also received an invitation from Liu Xun, the emperor of Shu Han, to go on a joint northern expedition.

However, the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Sima Zheng, had another plan in his heart, that is, to only rob Jingzhou, not Huainan.

He wants to leave a bite of food for the Emperor of Northern Liang, in case the Northern Liang falls, can those fierce horseback people in the north be handled only by these civil officials of the Southern Jin Dynasty?

Is it possible to let these civilian officials go to the battlefield and scold the enemy commander?

Xiao Zhen and Xiao Police of the Liao State, Zahehan, the King of Eastern Hu, the Western Turkic Wandering Forces, the New Foreign Khanate, and the Golden Horde, which of these civil officials can deal with?

In addition to the north, there are three kingdoms of Tubo, Shu Han, and Dali, which are headaches when you think about it.

"Old eight, when you go to Jingzhou this time, remember not to be too ruthless. Just take the three big cities of Jiangxia, Xiangyang, and Jingzhou, and use Nanyang County as the interface to talk about cattle with Beiliang."

"Only take half of Jingzhou?"

"Well, yes, only half of Jingzhou was taken."

"Why do you do that?"

"Leave some strength for Beiliang to fight Shu Han. I think that the current situation is more like the Three Kingdoms period, and the three-legged stand is actually the best, and I don't want to break this balance. Moreover, the current situation in the Northern Liang is much worse than that of the Three Kingdoms Cao Wei back then, and the Liang Dynasty was really defeated, and the northern barbarians went south, which was not good for us. ”
