Chapter 0614: Luck Has Fallen
Ran Min, who was commanding the army to fight in Shuishui, suddenly received a secret report from the secret guard, so he called Qin Mu to discuss.
"Qin Mu, take a look. I received a secret report that the Eastern Jin Dynasty Imperial Court is ready to move the capital again! β
"Moved the capital to Chengdu?" Qin Mu raised his eyebrows, expressing great surprise.
Ran Min squinted his eyes and said, "Wise move." The purpose of the Jin people is obvious, they just want to rely on their vast strategic depth and the mountains and rivers of Jingzhou to drag down our Wei army! But how can I let them succeed? β
"What is Your Majesty going to do? Did you send an iron cavalry to intercept the Eastern Jin Dynasty court in the process of moving the capital? β
"Nope. It is impractical to send iron cavalry to intercept or something, and the movement is too big, and it is impossible for the Jin army not to detect it. I was feeling tricky, how to break the deadlock in the current war, but I didn't expect someone to bring a pillow if I wanted to doze off! β
Ran Min said with a smile: "The Jin people have chosen a good place, Yizhou is dangerous, fertile for thousands of miles, and the land of Tianfu. In the past, the Qin State sat on the two granaries of Guanzhong and Bashu, and these two powerful logistics support bases annihilated the six countries and dominated the world; Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, also started with the land of Bashu, with Han Xin as the general, out of Chencang, Dingsan Qin, capture Wei, break the dynasty, destroy Zhao, descend Yan, and cut Qi, until the whole Chu army was annihilated, so that the four seas returned to one family; Liu Bei, the ancestor of the Shu Han Dynasty, relied on a Yizhou to gain a firm foothold, and divided the world with Cao Wei and Dongwu, and Shu enjoyed the national glory for decades. β
"This Bashu is really a good place!"
Hearing this, Qin Mu bowed his head slightly and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. The history of Bashu can be traced back to the era of ancient silkworms and fish. Bashu is mountainous, Shu Mountain is majestic and secluded, and it is called 'the country of four stops', but there are many scenic spots in Shu, rich in products, fertile fields for thousands of miles, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and it also has the reputation of 'the country of abundance'. Its thousands of green bamboo seas, long canyons, mountains and mountains, heavy organs. The world mostly says Bashu: between the bamboo forests, under the torrents, among the cliffs, and beyond the disputes, there are rivers and lakes. β
Ran Min nodded and said, "Hmm." The Bashu-shaped place lies in a 'risk'! If the Eastern Jin Dynasty had moved the capital to Chengdu and entered Bashu earlier, we might have to spend more effort and consume more national strength to destroy the Jin Dynasty. But now, hum, it's just a cocoon. β
"Your Majesty wants to take Bashu?"
"Not bad. Fortunately, I didn't destroy the army this time, and there are still a lot of soldiers in the country who can fight! Lu Qianzhen guarded the pass, and I wanted to order him to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to make a long-distance attack, take Yinping Road, secretly sneak into Bashu, and go straight to Chengdu! Capture Chu Lianzi and Sima Dan, and this battle will not be able to be fought. β
Hearing this, Qin Mu couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, this is too risky, isn't it?" β
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger? I can afford to take the risk. β
"There are only five thousand people, and it will be dangerous if they are discovered by the Jin people along the way."
"Take the trail, the Jin army can't find out. Moreover, the Jin army of Bashu has long been emptied, and the defense is useless. I believe in LΓΌ Gan, LΓΌ Gan is bold and careful, and he is handsome, he will definitely be able to lead the army to infiltrate Chengdu and defeat the Jin court in Shu in one fell swoop. β
"But...... It's just too risky! Your Majesty, we don't know how many troops are there to protect the Eastern Jin Dynasty, if Sima Dan escapes, or if he can't capture all of them, the consequences will be unimaginable. β
"Then I'll take a gamble. Bet that Lu Gan can seize the fighter plane and win the battle. β
Ran Min thought he could afford this risk.
Failure, it is nothing more than the death of one Lu Gan and five thousand elite soldiers. Wei now has a thousand generals and a million armor, and it is a drop in the bucket to die such a few people.
And once it succeeds, not to mention that the Eastern Jin Dynasty will be destroyed immediately, at least the overall situation has been decided.
After Ran Min knew what the purpose of the Jin army was, he immediately ordered the whole army to stop attacking. As soon as the Wei army stopped like this, it suddenly made Huan Wen a lot easier, but the battle was still deadlocked.
In Jiangling, the princes and ministers have begun to pack up the gold and silver, and are ready to move to Chengdu to settle down.
Now the streets and alleys of Gangneung are talking about this matter.
"The luck of the Jin room has declined, and it won't last long." A merchant in brown clothes was full of emotion in the wine shop.
"Who's to say it isn't? Three years ago, the Wei army moved south, and the Jin family was forced to move the capital to Jiangling. Now the Wei army is hundreds of thousands of troops south, with the momentum of destroying the Jin, the imperial court is afraid of the Wei army like a tiger, frightened, and now it is ready to flee to Chengdu to settle down, in my opinion, this world will be Wei sooner or later. A gentleman in Tsing Yi next to him shook his head and said.
"Brother Li, did your Li family follow the imperial court to Chengdu?"
"Don't follow, don't follow. Now many scholars from Jiangdong to Jingzhou have lost hope in the imperial court, let's follow all the way to Chengdu, what can we end up with? I kind of get it. When the Wei army came, let's eat pot pulp to welcome the king. β
Obviously, the scholars in Jiangnan are all aware of current affairs.
The meaning of the pot pulp is to welcome the king's division: to the army that comes to conquer, the local people welcome them with wine and food, because the conquered country imposes tyranny on its own people, and when the army of another country comes to conquer, it means that it has been saved.
Only by conquest of the armies of other countries like this can we be called a righteous army.
The Wei army attacked Jin under the banner of "hanging the people and cutting down crimes", so it can be called a royal division.
The current general trend of the world, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Jin Kingdom is about to fall, and the Great Wei will dominate the country. In that case, why did they help the Eastern Jin Dynasty court to fight to the death and resist the Wei army?
A day later, Chu Garlic and the little emperor Sima Dan's car was on the official road to Chengdu, near the ministers' carriages or mounts, and there were stubborn Jin army armor soldiers all around, hunting with banners, and the momentum was huge.
Thirteen-year-old Sima Dan already knows some people and is not pro-government, but he still has a certain understanding of major events in the world.
"Queen Mother, are we on our way to Chengdu?" Sima Dan asked Chu Garlic with some surprise.
Sima Dan is a weak person, not only is he weak on the outside, he looks weak, but even on the inside, he is very weak, not as strong as a man.
Chu Garlic touched Sima Dan's cheek with some distress and said, "Yes." Peng Zi (Sima Dan's nickname), let's settle down in Chengdu in the future. Don't you dislike the royal palace in Gangneung? The palace of Jiangling is too simple, the scale is small, there is not the slightest royal style, but the palace of Chengdu is very intact, once as the capital of the Shu Han and Cheng Han dynasties, the palace is splendid, not inferior to the Taicheng palace of Jiankang. Moreover, there are eunuchs and maidservants in Chengdu, who can serve our mother and son well. β
Hearing this, Sima Dan was silent for a while, and then said, "Queen Mother, you don't have to comfort me. The tiger and wolf army of Wei has gone south, and we can't keep Jiankang and Jiangling, can we still keep Chengdu? β
"This ......" In fact, Chu Garlic is still very hesitant.
The reason why she accepted Huan Wen's request and made up her mind to move the capital to Chengdu for refuge was because she wanted to gamble. If it wins, the Jin Kingdom will still be able to exist, fight against Ran Wei, and wait for the opportunity to reorganize the old rivers and mountains.
And once it fails, it is estimated that it is useless for the Eastern Jin Dynasty to move to Chengdu, after all, there are many roads into Shu, and the people of Bashu are uncertain, and even some scholars have begun to defect, so once Huan Wen is defeated, it is estimated that the entire Jin Kingdom will be destroyed.
