Chapter 429: Sit and Watch

p

In the early days, the Jin army's Northern Expedition went smoothly, which completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

Liu Yu only relied on more than 10,000 steps to ride, and actually swept Yanqing Erzhou, such a result shocked the government and the opposition inside and outside.

The Son of Heaven was overjoyed when he heard this, and personally issued an order to reward his confidant Liu Yu.

His character and position were all promoted to one level, and he was promoted from Peng Cheng Neishi and Yingyang General to Qingzhou Thorn History and Beizhong Lang General.

Liu Yu's success severely stimulated the rest of the generals.

Yin Zhongkan is even more so, he personally led the Jingzhou army of 50,000 to the north, with Yang Yan as the vanguard, and the troops pointed directly at Shangluo and Wuguan.

When the Eastern Jin Dynasty successively made a pot of porridge with Hou Qin and Hou Yan, Wei Shuo was sitting in Guzang watching the excitement.

In November, the twentieth year of Taiyuan, Hexi had successfully survived the natural disaster, and the post-disaster reconstruction work was actively carried out.

On the occasion of Jia Yi, Chao Chong and others, Wei Shuo held a banquet in the mansion, one to catch the wind and wash the dust, and the other to celebrate the victory of the disaster.

The banquet adopts a double-seat system, with more than 30 seats in full swing, filling the hall, which is grand and lively.

There are only four seats at one end of the lobby facing the door, one seat is for Wei Shuo, the host, and the other three seats are for guests such as Jia Yi and Chao Chong.

The other seats are displayed on both sides, with a total of three tiers, four people each, and a large open space in the middle for singing and dancing performances.

At the beginning of the lanterns, everyone took their seats.

Nowadays, Hexi is becoming more and more powerful, and every time a banquet is held, there are more and more participants.

Hundreds of people crowded the main hall, among which servants shuttled back and forth, bringing food and wine to the guests.

Jia Yi and Chao Chong sat between the banquets, tasting the delicacies and staggering at all kinds of luxuries.

The two had heard that Hexi was rich, and it was well known when they saw it today.

In addition to a variety of delicacies, there are also a variety of glassware.

The white crystal is like jade, the red is simple and elegant, and the green is green and lovely, which makes Jia Yi and Chao Chong dizzy.

After three rounds of drinking, but listening to the music, a group of more than 100 dancers came to the venue, singing and dancing.

The dancing girl is highly skilled, pretty, hanging down a swallowtail-shaped bun, wearing a light gauze dress, and making various graceful gestures.

I saw that the colorful clothes were flying in the hall, and the audio-visual feast was extremely enjoyable, and everyone was fascinated.

At this time, Wei Shuo raised his wine glass, turned to Jia Yi and Chao Chong next to him, and said respectfully: "Yanlun, Ziye, please." ”

Jia Yi and Chao Chong hurriedly replied: "Dadu Hu, please!" ”

"I heard that Mr. Yanlun is a native of Wuwei, and he is a former Hanjia Gongyi?"

"Exactly! It is a pity that the incompetence of the descendants has brought shame to the ancestors. ”

"Hahaha, Yanlun is too humble!"

"When Mr. was young, he went to Chang'an alone to save his father, which is not something ordinary people can do."

"Shuo also heard that the King of Wei, Tuoba Jue, had sent envoys to Emperor Yan several times to ask for Mr., but he was repeatedly rejected by Yan State."

"Today, Mr. has gone to Hexi, and I will ask Mr. to give me advice in the future."

"The minister has been cornered, and he has to return to his hometown as a last resort, but fortunately most of them will not give up, how dare he not follow the work of dogs and horses?"

"Hahaha, I just want to ask Mr. about something."

"Please speak up and listen to you."

"In Yanlun's opinion, can Hou Yan block the Jin Wei attack this time?"

"It depends on how Murong Bao responds."

"Although Houyan has been defeated in Hepi, its strength is still there, and if the measures are appropriate, it may not be impossible to preserve the national ancestry."

"If Mr. is here, what advice would he make to Murong Bao?"

Jia Yi pondered for a moment and said: "In the future, there will be a Jin army in the south of Yan and a Wei army in the north, which can be described as being attacked on the back of the belly. ”

"If you continue to covet the wealth of Hebei, you will be swallowed up by the combined efforts of Wei and Jin."

"It's better to decisively abandon You, Yan, Qing, Hebei and other places, and make every effort to stick to Liaodong."

"As soon as Houyan withdraws, in the face of Hebei, which is at your fingertips, Wei and Jin are bound to refuse to give up easily."

"As long as the conflict breaks out between the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Houyan crisis will be resolved."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Shuo was impressed by him, and he said with palpitations: "Fortunately, Mr. has left Houyan, otherwise I am afraid that my Hexi plan will be ruined." ”

This is not Wei Shuo's deliberate alarmism, if Murong Bao really acted according to Jia Yi's strategy.

Hou Yan may take the opportunity to get out, and the Wei and Jin will definitely fight for Hebei.

Once the Jin army is defeated, Hebei will belong to the Wei state, and this is by no means what Hexi wants to see.

Unexpectedly, Jia Yi shook his head and said: "Even if you still stay in Zhongshan, you can't turn the tide." ”

"In the past, out of curry favor with Murong Trai, Murong Bao accepted advice, but now that Murong Trai is gone, the true face of this son is undoubtedly exposed."

"Even if someone offers him this plan, Murong Bao will not listen."

"Phew~ That's the best."

"It seems that Daduhu doesn't want Tuoba Jue to occupy Hebei, but please rest assured, it is not easy for Wei to get Hebei."

"Oh? Why does Yanlun make this assertion? ”

"Murong Xianbei has been in the Central Plains for decades, and he has long been accustomed to the Central Plains Flower World."

"Don't talk about Murong Bao, I'm afraid Murong De and the others are not willing to give up Hebei and retreat to Liaodong."

"As long as the Yan State sticks to Hebei, the Wei State will not be able to take it for a while."

"What's more, the Northern Wei Dynasty massacre of Yan prisoners in Yishui has already aroused the hatred of the Hebei people."

"Even so, sir, don't forget that there is still the Great Jin in the south!" Wei Shuo reminded.

"Non-ministers underestimate the Jin army, but the Southern Dynasty is not to worry about!"

"It is not easy to take Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and if you continue to go deep into the north, I am afraid that you will be taken advantage of by the Yan army."

"Sir is not optimistic about the Northern Expedition of the Jin Army?"

"It's not that the minister is not optimistic about the Southern Dynasty, but the Southern Dynasty has never been reassuring."

"I think back then, after the Battle of Weishui, there was chaos in the north, and it was the opportunity for the Southern Dynasty to recover the lost territory and dominate the world."

"The result? Regardless of the good situation, the Son of Heaven wantonly excluded dissidents, forcing Xie An and Xie Xuan to retreat. ”

"Humph! Don't look at the momentum of the Jin army in front of you, once a filthy outbreak in the rear, it will definitely affect the offensive on the front. ”

Wei Shuo bowed slightly, agreeing with Jia Yi's judgment very much.

In fact, when it was rumored that the imperial court would set up two Northern Expeditionary armies on the left and right, he expected that the Northern Expedition would not have a good result.

The Northern Expedition of Xuzhou on the East Road is better, there is the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty in history, and it is estimated that the results are not small.

As for the Northern Expedition to Jingzhou on the West Road, Wei Shuo was not optimistic about Yin Zhongkan at all.

He couldn't even figure out why Yin Zhongkan had a good history of assassination in Jingzhou, so why did he wade into the troubled waters of the Northern Expedition.

Later Qin is a soft persimmon, which is also relative to Hexi.

It was not easy for Yin Zhongkan to shake Hou Qin with his own strength.

Just as Wei Shuo was deep in thought, suddenly Jia Yi gritted his teeth and said: "Lord, if it wasn't the ministers who deliberately provoked it, there were really some words that were not spit out and unpleasant." ”

"If you have anything to say, please speak up, and I will listen to you." Wei Shuo was surprised.

"Now the soldiers of the Jin army on the West Road are pointing to Guanzhong, and they seem to have a great appetite, and there are signs of swallowing Hou Qin."

"If Guanzhong falls into the hands of the Southern Dynasty, won't it ruin the lord's affairs?"

"Why don't you relax the first-line vigilance of Longguan, so that the elite of Hou Qin Longdong can return to Wuguan."

"In this way, not only can you protect the customs without losing, but you can also use the hands of the Jin army to weaken Hou Qin, killing two birds with one stone, why not?"

"Hahaha, it's really the same thing that heroes see!"

Wei Shuo stretched out his hand and pointed at Cui Hao and said, "Bo Yuan has already told Shuo earlier, and it is the same as what Mr. thinks. ”

"I see, it seems to be a bit of a mistake." Jia Yi laughed at himself.

"Eh, sir's words are inappropriate, how can it be an extra move?! When punished with a glass of wine. Wei Shuo joked.

"Frightened, or not, if you speak inappropriately, admit punishment, accept punishment."

Jia Yi drank it all happily, put down the wine bottle, and sighed: "Over the years, thanks to the protection of the capital and the destruction of a group of Hulu, the northwest has today's peaceful life. ”

"Yanlun has won the prize!"

Wei Shuo said modestly: "Recovering the lost land and pacifying the people is not the work of the next person, there is no body, Boyuan, Daohe, Zhongxuan, etc., and other pillars of the temple are considered to plan and stabilize the rear, and there is no evil suppression, Du Shi, Changxu, Xuansheng, etc. will charge into battle, how can there be today's prosperous era in Hexi?" ”

That night, Wei Shuo and everyone returned happy.

The three new talents, namely Jia Yi, Jia Yan Brothers and Chao Chong, were all impressed by Dadu's protective attitude and demeanor, and they all expressed their desire to contribute to the strength of Hexi.

Wei Shuo affirmed the enthusiasm of the three people, and arranged different positions according to their strengths.

Jia Yi and Jia Yan are good at civil affairs, and they were arranged to intern in the Metropolitan Protectorate, and when the opportunity is ripe, they will be released to the local area.

As for Chao Chong's intensive study of the I Ching technique, he was arranged to be a doctor in the school.

It is recommended to read the new book of the mysterious god writer Dark Xiulan
