Murong Nan nodded: "Yes, you Han people are different from our grassland, we don't have the concept of great unification like yours, each tribe is independent, even if there is a big single Yu, a great khan, it is impossible to meddle in the internal affairs of the tribe, at most it is the golden arrow to transfer troops." But you Han people like to engage in the Son of Heaven, so even if you are a puppet, you must have a nominal co-master, otherwise, everyone will have ideas about the throne, and there will be endless battles, and the world will be in chaos. ”

Liu Yu thought of what Huan Xuan said just now, and sighed: "So like Xie Xianggong, he appointed the Son of Heaven and chose the queen for him, which is equivalent to the real power of the hypocritical monarch, and he can do the things of the Son of Heaven behind the scenes, which is why the Huan family is not convinced." ”

Murong Nan smiled slightly: "But from another point of view, the Huan family occupies Jingzhou exclusively, which is like self-reliance, and they don't respect the orders of the imperial court, and Xianggong Xie can't control them." The Huan family's disbelief is unreasonable, it is nothing more than their own ambitions, and they just want to find an excuse for this. Although I am a Xianbei person, I have been in the Central Plains for a few years, and I know a lot of things, in my opinion, Xie Xianggong puts the country above the family, while the Huan family is the opposite. ”

Liu Yu nodded and said with a smile: "I don't read much, and my knowledge is not as good as your Brother Murong, so I make you laugh." However, Huan Wen did not kill Xie Xianggong and Wang Shangshu back then, but still returned the power to the imperial court and the Gaomen family, what is the reason for this? ”

Murong Nan shook his head: "No, it's not because of his kindness, but after judging his strength, he felt that it was not enough to forcibly claim the emperor, so he returned to Jingzhou and handed over power." ”

Liu Yu waved his hand: "No, Huan Wen back then, but the troops controlled the capital Jiankang, and even Jingkou was in the hands of his younger brother Huan Chong, and Wang Tanzhi and Xie An had no soldiers in their hands at that time, I don't see any ability to resist." ”

Murong Nan put away his smile and said, "Liu Yu, after all, you have never governed the country, and you don't know this kind of thing that is peaceful in the world. But it's no wonder that you are a soldier, not a civil servant. It's easy to win a battle on the battlefield, but what about after winning? Which places, how do you control them? ”

Liu Yu's heart moved, he basically didn't think about this problem, that is, the last battle of Junchuan, after the battle, he collected his troops and returned to the camp, how to manage those occupied areas, he really didn't know, he looked at Murong Nan and said: "Then with the experience of your Murong clan when he entered the Central Plains, how to control it?" ”

Murong Nan looked at Liu Yu and said calmly: "Liu Yu, do you know why Ran Min raised troops to seize the throne and established an empire, when he was strong, he had more than 300,000 troops, even when the Shizhao Empire was in its heyday, it was nothing more than that, but why did he destroy our Murong family with one blow?" ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "Do you want to say that your Murong family's armor and horses are invincible in the world, and even Ran Min, who is known as Xiang Yu in the second life, can't resist it?" ”

Murong Nan shook his head: "No, Ran Min's ironclad infantry, in my opinion, is not under your Beifu soldiers, and he has been fighting for many years, he is well versed in the art of war, and his subordinates have many elite soldiers, even if our armor and cavalry are fully equipped, the frontal impact does not take any advantage!" ”

Liu Yu let out a soft "oh", it was really not easy for this stubborn and proud Xianbei man to admit that he had not fought the enemy, but it also proved that Ran Min's infantry was so strong, he looked at Murong Nan and continued: "That's because you attacked Ran Min and beat him with 100,000 iron cavalry, which is an absolute advantage, right?" ”

Murong Nan sighed: "Before the battle of Liantai, we were also fighting one with him like this, but ten battles and ten defeats, the number is not a decisive advantage, you yourself fought the battle of Junchuan this time, it was an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, isn't it also a victory with less?" ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Then you cut off Ran Min's grain and let him lack food and lose?" ”

Murong Nan shook his head and said, "No, when Ran Min actually came out of Yecheng, he had been out of food for many days, and the palace maids in the city had already begun to kill Shi Zhaoshi, that scene was miserable, Liu Yu, do you know what Ran Min was doing with 10,000 elite soldiers out of the city?" ”

Liu Yu sighed, and when he thought of that tragic and dark history, his heart tingled: "I heard General Tian Luo say that he led his troops out to rob those dock forts to save grain because of the lack of food in the city, so as to relieve the food shortage. ”

Murong Nan nodded, and said: "Yes, that's it, after the Yongjia Rebellion, the regimes of the Jin Dynasty collapsed, and many people in the north docked to protect themselves, and built the wall outside the village in the mountains, which is equivalent to a cottage, but they can do it in the cottage, this kind of dock fort is more than tens of thousands of households, less than a few hundred, dotted all over the place, it can be said that they are the ones who really control the north." ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Our Great Jin is also like this in the south, but it is not the Wubao lords who control the countryside, but the children of the big families, who build various estates in the countryside, relying on their tenants and hidden households to farm. ”

Murong Nan said with a smile: "So, whoever controls Wubao will control the north, and whoever controls the manor will control the south." During the period of Shi Zhao, most of the northern dock fort lords who were reluctant to go south were nominally loyal to the Shi Zhao Empire, providing them with some tribute and Ding Zhuang, but they would not let Shi Zhao's Qianhu people directly come to the fort to manage. The Shi Zhao Empire's army was insufficient to control the dock forts in various places, so they maintained this nominal relationship, they could only control the prefecture and county capitals, but could not manage the rural dock forts, so to speak, this was a compromise between Shi Zhao's Qianhu and the middle and lower Han small landlords. ”

Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, you mean that Ran Min ascended to build the country, but because he had no talent to govern the country, he couldn't control these dock castle masters, so he failed?" ”

Murong Nan nodded: "Yes, what you saw was that in the end, Ran Min Liantai was defeated and died, but what you don't know is that these dock fort masters actively provided a lot of help to our army, whether it was military rations, civilian men or intelligence." They are all locals and are extremely familiar with the local situation, although Ran Min is a Han Chinese, he is almost fighting in enemy territory, and although our Dayan is a foreign race, he has the support of the locals, so he can finally choose the most suitable terrain and fight with him when Ran Min is most tired, and the world will be determined by a battle! ”

Liu Yu sighed, he wanted to say that these Wubao owners were shameless traitors and traitors, but reason told him that Ran Min treated his own compatriots even worse than the cruel Qianhu people, which pushed the people who should have belonged to him to the side of the enemy, and the final defeat was not self-inflicted?
