Chapter 720: Jiang Gan's Advice
Jiang Gan looked up at Hua An, and said: "General Hua, the last general heard that the 60,000 main army of your army has withdrawn from Linshui City and set up a large camp outside the west gate of Yecheng, I don't know if it is true." ”
Hua An nodded and replied: "It is true, there was some chaos in our army, and the soldiers left the position without authorization, which made General Jiang laugh." ”
"Oh, it turns out that the rumors are all true, what does General Hua plan to do with it." Jiang Gan said softly tentatively.
Hua An naturally understood that Jiang Gan must have some intentions here, but there was no way to know what the specific intentions were, so he said softly: "The current situation of our army is extremely tricky, and how to deal with it will still be considered." ”
Seeing that Hua An was still hesitating, Jiang Gan hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "General Hua, at present, the Great Jin Imperial Court first demoted the military affairs of the generals to supervise Yizhou and Liangzhou, and then sent officials to take back the fields that the generals rewarded their subordinates ...... the fields that the generals had rewarded, which directly led to the discouragement of the army under the command of the generals, and the last general boldly speculated that this was just the beginning, if the general did not have thunder's countermeasures, in the future, the imperial court would continue to embarrass the generals, and when the time comes, I am only afraid of the general's fate" Halfway through, Jiang Gan deliberately stopped.
When Hua An heard this, he seemed to understand Jiang Gan's intentions here, so he asked softly: "In General Jiang's opinion, how should the general counter the imperial court in order to protect himself." ”
Seeing that Hua An seemed to be a little moved, Jiang Gan hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "In the opinion of the last general, the general should use thunderous means to break away from the Great Jin Dynasty and establish himself as the king, so it is the best policy." After speaking, he looked at Hua'an intently.
When Hua An heard this, he feigned anger and said, "Jiang Gan." The Great Jin Dynasty treats you well, and canonizes you as the General of Pingbei, why can you have such a rebellious idea, aren't you afraid that the general will play the Great Jin Dynasty and punish you? ”
Jiang Gan immersed himself in the sea of lewdness, and he was also a deep master of the art of observing words and feelings, and from Hua An's tone and subtle expressions, it can be seen that Hua An is not really angry, but has the element of feigned anger.
"What the general said is that the Great Jin Imperial Court is indeed not thin on the end of the general. But for so many years. The general is also trusted, but now, because of a small rumor, he began to gradually weaken the general's strength. Let the generals and soldiers fall into a situation of discouragement. The treatment he received today. I am afraid that it will be the treatment that Jiang Gan will receive in the future, and the Son of Heaven will be hollowed out, and the Dajin court will control the government with the Shi clan. After all, it is not a place for poor children such as me to stay for a long time, so the last general will have to plan for his future! Jiang Gan said softly.
When Hua An heard this, he completely understood Jiang Gan's intention to come here, it turned out that Jiang Gan came to visit to persuade him to rebel, but according to Congshi's secret report, this Jiang Gan was Ran Min's die-hard faction, and he was loyal to Ran Min, so why did he suddenly care about himself? What is his motivation behind it?
Hua An smiled and said softly: "General Jiang, you and I have only met a few times, and we can't talk about a deep friendship, you have taken great pains to get Ben out of the predicament!" Ben General doesn't understand, what are you doing this for? ”
Seeing Hua'an asking himself, Jiang Gan hurriedly replied: "General, the last general did this, in addition to helping the general, but also for my Huaxia clan, not to be bullied by the barbarians, just imagine, in the Great Jin Dynasty, the heart of the general's Northern Expedition is the most resolute, if the general is robbed of military power, the most proud must be the two countries of the Yan Dynasty, when the general is not in Hebei, the Yan Dynasty coalition army will attack south, the last general and Su Hai, Wang Wu several generals, must be unable to hold the land of Hebei, when the time comes, Hebei will once again be under the iron cavalry of the alien race, If this happens, so will my generation's sin. After speaking, a trace of tears actually flowed from the corner of his eye.
Although Jiang Gan said a lot of words, and even shed a trace of tears, which made Hua An quite moved, Hua An always felt that Jiang Gan's words seemed to reveal a little expiration, perhaps, he was sincere in order to fight against foreign forces, but in addition, it seems that there is another purpose, and what this purpose is, Hua An does not know for the time being, however, the smart people lurking in Jiang Gan's mansion will find out.
"General Jiang cares about my Huaxia clan, and the general is very moved, but after all, the general is the general of the Great Jin Dynasty, if he acts rebelliously, I am afraid that everyone in the world will be punished!" Hua An praised Jiang Gan and voiced his concerns.
Jiang Gan was overjoyed when he heard this, from this moment on, he could feel that Hua'an already had a plan to rebel against the Great Jin Dynasty, and he only needed to add another fire to facilitate this matter.
"General Hua doesn't need to worry about this, as long as the general thinks of the world and makes up his mind to break away from the Great Jin Dynasty, the last general is willing to take all the armies of Wei to fully support the general, and with the help of the last general, the general does not have to fear anyone's opposition." Jiang Gan clenched his fists and said.
At this moment, there are 50,000 people under Jiang Gan's actual command, and the soldiers and horses under Su Hai and Wang Wu are theoretically loyal to Ran Zhi, at least they will not oppose themselves, if Jiang Gan and others are on their side, they can indeed greatly improve their confidence and strength of self-reliance, which makes Hua'an feel a lot more at ease.
Seeing that Hua An was silent, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, Jiang Gan hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "General Hua, your army has been excited, and now the arrow is already on the string, the general must make a decision immediately, and must not hesitate to let himself fall into a situation from which he will never recover." ”
Hua An naturally didn't want the court to drag him back, and after Wang Meng's persuasion, he made up his final decision, and at this moment, Jiang Gan also took the initiative to support, which made Hua An even more determined, and decided to act immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
"Ben will be loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty for a long time, and he will not want to lose his status as a courtier, and call the king in the land of the governor, listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and follow the example of today's King Yan and King Liang, I don't know if it is possible?" Hua An said bluntly, and wanted to hear Jiang Gan's opinion.
When Jiang Gan heard this, he was slightly shocked, but he knew very well that if he could be like Murong Jun and Zhang Chonghua, there was not much difference between being called king in the south and being called emperor, but it was just a little low-key, so he hugged his fists and said: "The general's loyalty has greatly moved the general, since the general does not want to lose the status of a courtier, it is not impossible for the south to be the king, but the general must make a decision immediately, and must not delay for a long time, so as not to have many dreams at night." ”
Hua An nodded and said softly: "Thank you General Jiang for reminding me, I will know what to do." ”
Seeing that Hua'an had made up his mind to stand on his own, Jiang Gan hugged his fists and said: "Since the general has figured it out, the general will retire." After speaking, he turned around and left Hua'an's Chinese army tent.
After Jiang Gan left, Hua An was in the big tent of the Chinese army, thinking carefully, at this moment, the army under his command is hundreds of thousands, although not all of them are loyal to their henchmen, but in so many years, almost all the generals have been rewarded by themselves, and the officials sent by the imperial court have taken back the fields they have rewarded to the soldiers, therefore, Hua An thinks that the main army under his command should support him, there will be no big problem, now, Jiang Gan also expressed full support for himself, so as to do so, Hua'an also had the support of more than 100,000 main forces of Wei.
In the north and south of the Yellow River, Pu Hong, Yao Xiang, Zhang Yu, Wei Tong and other generals who surrendered to the Great Jin Dynasty had no loyalty to the Great Jin Dynasty at all, so they would definitely not attack themselves in order to maintain the Great Jin Dynasty, but if they were in a disadvantageous situation, it was very likely that they would take advantage of the fire to rob.
In Jingzhou and Yangzhou, the core of the Great Jin Dynasty, there are two other main forces of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Jingzhou Legion and the Yangzhou Legion, the main general of the Jingzhou Legion Huan Wen, is good at combat, and the strength of the army under his command is also very strong, and it is indeed a force to be reckoned with, but Hua'an knows that Huan Wen is not a loyal general, according to the report of the smart warriors lurking around Huan Wen, Huan Wen trains soldiers day and night, and often harbors antipathy, therefore, the Jingzhou Army will not become the most loyal reliance of the Great Jin court.
And the Yangzhou Legion, although the strength is also very strong, but its main general Yin Hao is an empty reputation, and there is no exaggerated son of the talent to lead the army, although the Yangzhou Legion has a lot of troops, but it can only guard Yangzhou, protect the territory and the people, there is no strength to compete with the main army under his command, besides, his former brother, has already controlled the strength of the Yangzhou Legion, as long as he is surrounded by childhood friendship, he can draw salary from the bottom of the Yangzhou Legion, therefore, the Yangzhou Legion is not afraid at all.
As for the Jiaozhou Legion, Guangzhou Legion, Jiangzhou Legion, and Ningzhou Legion in the south, because there was no major war and the population was not large, there were few soldiers and horses, so it was not worth mentioning at all.
The Liang Kingdom in the northwest has always coveted the Guanzhong Plain, therefore, when Hua'an left Guanzhong, he left Wang Meng behind, and relied on the famous general Xie Ai of Liangguo not to return, so that Liangguo lost the strength of the Guanzhong, Hua'an believes that as long as tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses are left in Guanzhong, it is enough to deter Liangguo, ensure the safety of Guanzhong, and ensure their own foundation.
Nowadays, the biggest threat to Hua'an is the Yan State and the Dai State in the north, the Yan Dynasty coalition army has the most soldiers and horses, if a comprehensive war mobilization, the formation of more than 500,000 troops, there is no pressure, therefore, Hua'an should focus on guarding against the two countries of the Yan Dynasty in the north, and in other directions, it is enough to carry out strict monitoring.
And the focus of Hua'an's surveillance, naturally is the Huanwen Legion guarding Jingzhou, this legion is in the back direction of Hua'an, the threat to Hua'an's army is the greatest, in case the Huanwen Legion and the Yan Dynasty coalition army attack at the same time, Hua'an and the main army under his command, it will be difficult to resist, in case the army is defeated, will have to abandon the city near Luoyang City, retreat into the Guanzhong Plain, to Tongguan natural danger, Xu Tu good strategy.
After much thought, Hua'an decided to write a letter to Huan Wen, using Huan Wen's hard work and achievements as an excuse to fully support Huan Wen's claim to be king, so as to use Huan Wen's inner ambition to put him in the same situation as himself, so as to eliminate the threat of the Jingzhou army.
