Although the Northern Expedition was considered by the Southern Dynasties to be a political righteousness, few people really took it to heart. See the latest chapter Baidu search soso
After the great victory in Weishui, the external pressure suddenly decreased, and the Southern Dynasties completely lost their ambitions.
Even though the original has been recovered for several years, the imperial court has never really incorporated it into its rule, but only fetters it.
In the eyes of many people in the Southern Dynasties, the original and even Hebei and Guan are no longer the homeland of China.
Their greatest wish is to keep three acres of land in Jiangdong, and as for driving out the Hulu and recovering the lost land, it is just talk.
Throughout the previous Northern Expeditions of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, I am afraid that only Zu Ti and Liu Yu are really going to recover the lost territory.
Others, such as Huan Wen, Xie An, Xie Xuan, Yu Liang, etc., are all mixed with too much personal self-interest.
Sima Yuanxian was no exception, and also saw the Northern Expedition as a shortcut to the pinnacle of power.
In order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to persuade his father to reuse Liu Yu and unite Hexi.
In order to let Hexi assist the imperial court in the Northern Expedition, Sima Yuanxian, under the name of his father, sent someone to invite Liu Muzhi to the Prime Minister's Mansion for discussion.
Originally, Liu Muzhi was planning to leave Jiankang and go south to Sanwu, but he suddenly received an invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although he doesn't look down on Sima Daozi very much, he is the emperor after all.
At present, Hexi is asking for Jiangzuo, so naturally he can't offend the Huiji Palace.
So, Liu Muzhi asked Sima Xiuzhi to prepare a generous gift and visit him in person.
However, unexpectedly, the person who met him was not King Huiji himself, but Sima Yuanxian, the son of the world.
……
"I have admired Mr. Gu for a long time, and I will finally see you today, please accept Yuan Xian's worship."
Since Wei Shuo entered the dynasty the year before last and made waves in Jingkou, Liu Muzhi's name has spread all over Jiangzuo, and he is known as Jingkou Wolong.
Although Sima Yuanxian was young at the time, he also heard a lot of rumors, and he heard Liu Muzhi's name like thunder.
And since the beginning of this year, he has gradually come into contact with the government and politics, and has become more and more truly aware of the importance of talents. Baidu search search search search does not get lost
In the entire palace, there are all kinds of flattering and sloppy people, and only a few people such as Sima Shang's brother and Zhang Fashun can be used.
Looking at the personable Liu Muzhi in front of him, Sima Yuan hated to go back to the house to be his own strategist.
Sima Yuanxian stepped forward and picked up Liu Muzhi, who was not honored by the other party.
He looked up and down, looked at Liu Muzhi deeply, and sighed.
"Who would have thought that the scholars who were down on the streets of Jingkou back then would have the talent of the world."
"Every time I think of the past, Yuan Xian deeply hates that he didn't meet Mr. earlier."
"The son of the world is too famous, and Mu Zhi is ashamed of it."
From the moment he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Muzhi was 'frightened' one after another.
At the moment, he could only press other thoughts, and while he was with Sima Yuan, he secretly pondered: What is King Huiji doing when he sends a child out?
Not to mention Liu Muzhi's cranky thoughts there, just say that Sima Yuanxian pulled Liu Muzhi to ask about Hexi with great interest.
"Dare to ask Mr. He, I don't know what the situation in Hexi is?"
Because he didn't know the other party's true intentions, Liu Muzhi had no choice but to talk as much as possible about 'miserable' as much as possible according to his previous plan.
"The prince didn't know that more than 100,000 displaced people had poured into the state at the beginning of the year, which brought a great burden to Hexi."
With a sad face, he continued: "In addition, there are various signs that a large-scale drought and locust plague will break out in Hexi this summer. ”
"However, Hexi's products are not abundant, and it is simply not enough to provide enough food to resettle displaced people and fight drought and provide disaster relief."
"Only in this way, Dadu Hu had to send Mu Zhi south to buy grain."
Hearing this, Sima Yuanxian was silent for a long time before frowning and said: "Displaced people, natural disasters, Hexi is really full of disasters. Baidu search search search do not get lost"
"Who's to say it isn't?! Alas, in order to raise food, most of the guards are about to get sick. ”
"In this way, isn't Hexi unable to use troops with foreign countries this year?"
Resort to arms?! Liu Mu's heart was shocked, and he nodded quietly on his face and said, "Yes." ”
"Alas, it's a pity." Sima Yuanxian sighed.
"Yuan Xian heard that Hebei was about to be in turmoil, and Liu Neishi of Pengcheng wrote to the court many times, asking for a division to pass through Hebei."
"My father originally wanted to unite with Dadu to send troops to the Northern Expedition to recover Hebei, but he didn't expect that Hexi would encounter a natural disaster that is rare in a century."
"What?! King Xiang intends to go on a northern expedition? ”
Hearing that Sima Daozi was going on a northern expedition, Liu Muzhi was so frightened that he almost screamed.
Don't look at him when he first came to Jiankang, but he already has a clear view of the situation in North Korea.
Whether it is the Son of Heaven or Sima Daozi, they are busy consolidating their power, how can they have the kung fu to promote the Northern Expedition?
Why did Sima Yuanxian tell him unashamedly that Sima Daozi intended to go on a northern expedition?
Could it be that Sima Yuanxian is lying? Can't, such a big thing, without Sima Daozi's permission, he dares to talk nonsense?
Seeing Liu Muzhi's face cloudy, Sima Yuanxian didn't know what the other party was thinking? Hurriedly explained.
"Originally, my father really didn't want to go on a northern expedition, but under the persuasion of the Prime Minister's staff, my father changed his mind and decided to take advantage of Wei Yan's war to send troops to recover Hebei."
After listening to Sima Yuanxian's explanation, Liu Muzhi's brain quickly turned.
If the imperial court really wants to go on a northern expedition, what will be the pros and cons for Hexi?
and Sima Yuanxian summoned himself with great fanfare, definitely not just to tell him.
Could it be that there are other requirements? How should he respond?
In a moment, Liu Mu's head was like a fight, and he couldn't figure out the slightest clue.
I thought it was just a matter of buying food and building a processing workshop, but I didn't expect to encounter tricky things as soon as I entered the capital.
"Mr. I invited me here today to learn about the situation in Hexi; Second, he also wanted to ask Dadu to send troops to assist the imperial court in recovering Hebei. ”
Liu Muzhi simply sorted out his thoughts, pondered for a moment and said: "Your Royal Highness, this time Mu Zhi entered Beijing on the order of the protector of the capital, specifically to buy food. ”
"At present, there are more than ten years of displaced people in Hexi waiting to be fed, and Hexi may not be able to help the imperial court in the Northern Expedition."
Seeing Liu Muzhi's refusal to send troops to help, Sima Yuanxian was very dissatisfied.
Hexi was the key to promoting the imperial court's Northern Expedition, how could he be willing to let the other party stay out of the matter?
He suppressed his dissatisfaction, and said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Daohe, this is the only chance for the imperial court to recover Hebei. ”
"Now that Murong is dying of old age, he is no longer as brave as he used to be."
"In addition, Wei Yan is about to move, and it won't be long before Yan's army will go north to attack Wei."
"At that time, Hebei will be empty, and the imperial court will unite with Hexi and join hands to raid Hebei, and will definitely be able to recover the lost territory and expel Hulu from the original hinterland."
"On the contrary, if you miss the opportunity in front of you, you may never have a chance to recover Hebei."
"Oh, the son of the world is wrong with this!"
"As long as the imperial court makes up its mind to go on the Northern Expedition, it can recover Hebei at any time, and there is no need to rush the time."
"Hmph, why don't you know this? However, the imperial court did not always push for the Northern Expedition. ”
"And I also heard that the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Jue is eloquent and strategic, and his people are known for their great ambitions."
"Wanhebei falls into his hands, and if he is given time, Hebei will definitely be managed by him."
"If the imperial court wants to recover the lost territory in the future, it will be a hundred or a thousand times more difficult than now."
Sima Yuanxian's words made Liu Muzhi fall into deep thought, and he felt that it was not unreasonable.
Hexi wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but he didn't know that the outcome might not be a lose-lose situation, but a tiger for trouble.
If you take advantage of the trend to promote the Northern Expedition of the imperial court and find another opponent for the Northern Wei Dynasty, wouldn't it be safer?
After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Muzhi cleared his thoughts and had new ideas about the situation in Hebei.
At the same time, it also made him feel a little admiration for the young man in front of him.
If the Son of Heaven had such insight, I am afraid that the Sima family would not have come to this point.
No matter what the plan behind the Huiji Palace, at least Sima Yuanxian was right - the possession of Hebei by the Northern Wei Dynasty will pose a huge threat to Hexi.
Is it just that Sima Yuanxian's Northern Expedition is credible? The Northern Expedition of the Imperial Court has been counted, but even the famous Huan Wen and Zu Ti have failed.
It was precisely because he saw through that most of the people in the court were busy people, and Liu Muzhi did not dare to venture into the Northern Expedition of the imperial court.
"Dare to ask the prince, who does the Prime Minister plan to send to lead the Northern Expedition?"
"My father intends to let King Qian be the main general, and then use Liu Yu, the general of Yingyang, as the striker, what does Mr. think?"
Liu Muzhi's face was full of surprise, and he was surprised that Sima Daozi did not abolish the public for personal purposes and reused Liu Yu.
Where did he know that everything in front of him was plotted by Sima Yuanxian and his henchmen.
Sima Yuanxian knew that if he wanted the Northern Expedition to succeed, he had to send elite soldiers and strong generals.
In addition, Liu Yu is not only an invincible general, but also a staunch faction of the Northern Expedition, and a confidant of the Son of Heaven.
The reuse of Liu Yu not only helped the Northern Expedition, but also divided, co-opted, and attacked the Son of Heaven faction.
At the moment, Liu Muzhi was secretly pondering, the current external situation is very good, and with Liu Yu and Sima Shangzhi, the Northern Expedition of the imperial court is really likely to succeed.
In this way, the imperial court's intervention in Hebei will effectively contain the Northern Wei Dynasty, and will undoubtedly greatly reduce the pressure on Hexi.
"Shizi, Hexi can send troops, but it can only be used as a diversion force."
"In addition, grain and grass must also be provided by the imperial court."
"Okay, no problem!"
After returning from the Huiji Palace, Liu Muzhi quickly wrote a letter to the capital protector and told him in detail about the imperial court's intention to go on the Northern Expedition.
