This question can be said to go straight to the core of the contradiction, and it is also the biggest concern of the Jingzhou faction.

Even people of insight such as Wang Mi, Bian Fanzhi, and Huan Qian are reluctant to conflict with Hexi in their hearts.

Everyone also had to think about what kind of adverse impact it would have on Huan Xuan after the compromise.

Even they didn't dare to pack tickets, would Huan Xuan end up in the wilderness like King Huiji.

However, at this time, Huan Xuan opened his mouth to ask, indicating that he had regained his composure and was no longer arrogant.

At present, the reason why he is unwilling to reconcile with Hexi is entirely out of his own interests.

Otherwise, a big hat that damages the prestige of the court will probably be worn on his head.

This will be a major blow to Huan Xuan, who is bent on surpassing his father and wants to fulfill Huan Wen's unfulfilled wish.

After all, the great cause that Huan Xuan is planning is inseparable from 'fame' - this seemingly ethereal but very important thing.

As soon as Huan Xuan said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

Everyone stared at Cui Hong with burning eyes, wanting to hear what he could do to make Nanjun Gong retreat in the turmoil.

I saw that under the attention of everyone, Cui Hong seemed unhurried and calm.

He pondered for a moment, then bowed to Huan Xuan and said, "Captain, please forgive me for being blunt, it is difficult for you to save your reputation from Nanyang!" ”

Well?! A fierce light flashed in Huan Xuan's eyes, and he was about to turn his face and leave.

Unexpectedly, Cui Hong's voice suddenly changed, and Huan Xuan had to sit down according to his temperament.

"However, you can gain greater prestige from other places besides Nanyang."

Huan Xuan stopped Yin Zhongwen, who wanted to ask him a question, stared at Cui Hong gloomily and said, "Let's hear it." ”

"For example, the Northern Expedition to the Southern Yan!"

"Northern Expedition ......"

"That's right!"

"In public and private, there should be no conflict between King Yong and Taiwei, so as not to cheapen others."

"Since you and I can't fight among ourselves, we might as well turn the contradiction to the outside."

"Compared with the Northern Expedition, the grievances suffered by the Taiwei in Nanyang are not worth mentioning at all."

"The reason why I suggested that Taiwei go north to attack Southern Yan is not only because the Northern Expedition is the main righteousness, but also because Southern Yan is weak and easy to deal with."

"Besides, it's been almost a year since Nanyan invaded Qidi, so the imperial court can't just ignore it all the time, right?"

"The Northern Expedition to Southern Yan can not only prevent Taiwei and King Yong from hurting their peace, but also allow Taiwei to set up an immortal honor, so as to restore the people's popularity, why not?"

I have to say that Cui Hong's proposal made Huan Xuan's heart moved.

Huan Xuan has always taken his father as a model, emulating Huan Wen everywhere, and even regarded the overthrow of the Jin family as his father's unfinished business.

And why is Huan Wen praised? Even if his father had trespassing, the Southern Dynasty did not dare to liquidate the Huan family after Huan Wen's death.

In addition to the fact that the Huan family is indeed powerful, in the final analysis, it is not because Huan Wen made great contributions to the Southern Dynasty during his lifetime? !

In addition to conquering the Cheng Han Dynasty to open up territory for the imperial court, Huan Wen organized several northern expeditions and played a prestige in the Southern Dynasty.

Of course, if Cui Hong asked Huan Xuan to fight the Wei State, then Huan Xuan might retreat.

But the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan had to make Huan Xuan's eyes shine.

As Cui Hong said, Nanyan's strength is weak, and he will definitely not be able to block the Southern Dynasty's blow.

If he can successfully destroy Nanyan and set up a special honor for destroying the country, not to mention that he has caught up with Huan Wen's exploits, at least Huan Xuan feels that he is qualified to compete with his father.

In addition, the Northern Expedition has always had a special significance in the Southern Dynasties.

Since the Yongjia period, after the Wuhu rebellion, the Northern Expedition and the expulsion of Hulu have become the most correct righteousness of the Jin Dynasty.

Even if the Northern Expedition failed again and again, it could not stop the ambition of the heroic Northern Expedition.

It can be said that almost all the big people who are listed in Jiangdong have a lot to do with the Northern Expedition.

From the early Zu Ti and Yu Liang, to Huan Wen, Yin Hao, and then to Xie An and Xie Xuan, which of these people is not a big hero?

As long as the Northern Expedition achieved meritorious service, Nanyang's little loss was indeed completely negligible.

What's more, Huan Xuan is also ambitious, bent on usurping the Jin family.

But you can't just talk about usurping the throne, you have to have merit that you can do it.

Even with the respect of Wei Wu, he didn't dare to act rashly, let alone Huan Xuan, a child of a family who only borrowed the shadow of his father's generation?

Otherwise, acting in a hurry will only end up like Yuan Shu.

Therefore, Huan Xuan has an incomparable desire for the Northern Expedition to make contributions.

Ignoring how Huan Xuan's mind was spinning, Cui Hong continued to agitate for a three-inch tongue.

"If the Taiwei is willing to send troops to the Northern Expedition, Hexi will help you."

"Helping my father? What's the help? You can't just give some ordnance, food and grass, right? ”

Facing Huan Xuan's questioning, Cui Hong shrugged his shoulders and said: "If the Taiwei is in need, whether it is food, grass, ordnance, or other aspects, Hexi is willing to support it fully." ”

Huan Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Even if you let Hexi send troops?" ”

"It's not impossible to let Hexi send troops, but it depends on whether the captain is reluctant to give up."

What do you mean by that? Where to give up? Huan Xuan was puzzled.

"Taiwei should know that Hexi and Nanyan are not adjacent to each other, so they can't send troops directly."

"Unless Taiwei is willing to abandon the Central Plains, even if King Yong is extremely willing to send troops to help, he is powerless."

"I see!" Huan Xuan suddenly realized.

"Bengong can see it, but I didn't expect Zhiyuan to occupy Nanyang and not be satisfied, but he actually set his sights on the rich land of the Central Plains."

If at this moment, Huan Xuan still doesn't understand Hexi's plan, then he is too stupid.

Speaking of which, it's not because that Wei Zhiyuan fell in love with the land of the Central Plains.

Huan Xuan frowned and pondered, and began to carefully weigh the pros and cons.

It seems that abandoning the Central Plains, a land of ointment, has suffered a big loss for the imperial court, but this is not the case for Huan Xuan.

Although the Central Plains is rich, it is not where Huan Xuan's core interests lie, not to mention that the Central Plains feudal domains have always been at odds with him.

In his eyes, there is no difference between Xin Gongjing, Xiahou Zongzhi and Yu Qian and others, they all belong to the scope of 'anti-party'.

If you can use the Central Plains in exchange for Hexi to send troops to help, Huan Xuan is very happy.

"Central Plains Haoqiang, like Han Haoqiang, has never really surrendered to the imperial court."

"They have always been outside the rule of the imperial court, they like to see the wind and the rudder, and they don't know what loyalty is."

"Don't hide it from the Taiwei, after Hexi became the ruler of Nanyang, it was soon found out that Han Hao Qiang had intentionally colluded with Hao Qiang in the Central Plains."

"And when the Jingzhou army defeated Wancheng, the Central Plains Haoqiang was even more ready to move, and even wanted to incite King Yong and Taiwei to oppose each other."

"These people are half-hearted about Taiwei, who can guarantee that they will not follow Yu Qian in the future?"

"Since keeping them is a hidden danger in the end, it is better to hand them over to King Yong for disposal."

Cui Hong's words can also fool Huan Xuan's family.

If it were replaced by Liu Yu, he would definitely loudly reprimand the ambition of the wolf son of Hexi.

But Huan Xuan has the unique romantic feelings of Wei and Jin celebrities in his bones, and it is easy to believe that he sees the right person.

Historically, it is precisely because of this that Liu Yu deceived Huan Xuan's trust several times.

At that time, Huan Xuan's wife Liu saw that Liu Yu had the qualifications of a hero, so she suggested that Huan Xuan get rid of the other party.

Unexpectedly, Huan Xuan had been deceived by Liu Yu's illusion, and thought that Liu Yu really wanted to be loyal to him.

As a result, he not only severely reprimanded his wife, but also entrusted Liu Yu with a heavy responsibility and treated him as a confidant.

Now Huan Xuan is the same, he thought that Wei Shuo was sincerely surrendering, but he didn't expect that Hexi would harbor evil intentions at all.

After a long time, Yin Zhongwen saw Huan Xuan bowing his head slightly at him, and immediately understood.

Yin Zhongwen coughed lightly and stopped Cui Hong, who was gushing about the importance of the unity between Hexi and Jingzhou

"Dare to ask Lord Cui, if Taiwei agrees to let King Yong rectify the Central Plains, how will Hexi help the imperial court to destroy Nanyan?"

"It's easy to hear! If Taiwei goes on the Northern Expedition, King Yong can lead his army from the Central Plains to the east and attack from the flanks to cooperate with Taiwei's main force. ”

"With such a flank between the two armies, Nanyan will be attacked by the enemy at that time, even if Murong Chui is reincarnated, how can he be undefeated?"

Is that true? Is King Yong really willing to send troops to help? ”

"That's nature!" Cui Hong patted his chest and said: "Hexi is willing to sign relevant agreements with the imperial court." ”

"Then I wonder when Hexi will be able to send troops?"

"Hmm~ It will take almost two or three months to rectify the Central Plains, so at least you have to wait until midsummer before you can send troops."

"Is it the height of summer...... Yes! You go back and tell Zhiyuan that at the beginning of July, Bengong will go north to the Central Plains to ally with him, and use the northern expedition to conquer Hulu. ”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"Cui believes that as long as King Yong and Taiwei join forces, there will be no one in the world who can be an opponent."

"At that time, Taiwei will sit in the central government and pacify Jiangdong, and King Yong's army will be outside and the conquest will be uneven, and peace in the world will be just around the corner."
