In the dimly lit hut, Xie An lay on the bed, dying, as if he was going to die at any moment. This talented and merry character has been playing chic and calm, but in fact, he is not calm at all, and he is always worried about the country and the people.

"Congratulations, in the Battle of Weishui, with 80,000 Beifu soldiers, you defeated a million Qin army!" Liu Xiu said with a smile.

"Haha, the million-strong army of the Qin State is just a boast of future generations!" Xie An said with a smile: "In this battle, the Qin State mobilized millions of people, of which 500,000 were responsible for escorting grain and grass, and there were 100,000 troops in Jingzhou, and 100,000 troops were stationed everywhere. In the Battle of Feishui, the Qin State had an army of 300,000 at most! It was assembled from the north again, and the labor division went on an expedition, exhausted to the extreme, and it was a long battle, and the morale fell. It is also the Xianbei army, the Di army, the Qiang army, the Han army, etc., mixed together, the composition is chaotic, and the people's hearts are uneven. In that battle, the Beifu soldiers only slightly defeated the enemy's forward, and the Qin army was defeated! Fu Jian's defeat was not because of me, but because of many soldiers! ”

As he spoke, Xie An coughed a few times.

In ancient times, there were no radios, no walkie-talkies, no telephones, and the army relied on roaring, drumming, and flags, which led to backward command. If there are only a few thousand, or twenty or thirty thousand people, they can still command the handy; But once it reaches more than 100,000, there may be confusion in command; As for 200,000, 300,000, it's almost a mess.

Only Bai Qi, Han Xin and other top generals can command an army of 300,000 without chaos.

It's a pity that Fu Jian is not Bai Qi, not Han Xin, just medium qualifications.

The battle of Weishui was not so much defeated in the hands of the Beifu soldiers as it was defeated in the confusion of command.

Xie An said: "The defeat of the Qin army was originally the best opportunity for the Northern Expedition to protect the Central Plains, but I still missed it!" ”

"What kind of prince will Xiangning? Soldiers are strong and strong for it! Liu Xiu said lightly: "If it is the Northern Expedition, whether it is successful or failed, it will inevitably be divided into feudal towns, and it is a constant temperature, which the imperial court does not allow." In addition, there is no food and grass! ”

"The key to the victory of the Northern Expedition lies in three points, one is logistics supply, one is speed, and the other is to annihilate the enemy's living force.

"Taibai, you are a great talent, and your talent is much better than me...... What is the victory of the Northern Expedition? Xie An asked.

"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! ”

Liu Xiu said: "The key to the north is to occupy Youzhou to the north and take over the defense line of the Great Wall; To the west, take over Guanzhong, and at worst control Tongguan; Second, it will be done in just two years. It's been a long time, the morale is tired, and the soldiers can't support it! ”

"It's too hard to do this in two years!" Xie An frowned.

"Now the Northern Expedition only occupies Luoyang, as well as the cities along the Yellow River, it will not work after all! The defense of rivers is not as good as the defense of mountains, and if you want to rely on the Yellow River to resist the iron cavalry in the north, most of them cannot. Only by occupying the land of clouds and occupying Yanshan is a sign of the victory of the Northern Expedition! ”

Liu Xiu said: "If I am on the Northern Expedition, I will return the way, first establish a naval division, occupy the land of Liaodong, occupy Yanshan, form a situation of closing the door and fighting dogs, and then defend in the south, attack in the north, and destroy the strong enemy......"

This Northern Expedition plan is also the best Northern Expedition plan recognized by later generations of netizens.

In the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded, and Liu Yu was close to success, and their success was all fluke, and they all had too much luck. But in fact, in a real battle, you must always overestimate the enemy, never expect the enemy to be brainless, expect the enemy to make mistakes, let alone underestimate the enemy, and do not rely on the luck of the dark.

"Your path is too difficult, it's almost a dream!" Xie An smiled.

In the tenth year of Taiyuan (385), Xie An died of illness in Jiankang at the age of sixty-six. Posthumously presented to Taifu, nicknamed "Wenjing". Because Xie An did not have a private residence, Emperor Xiaowu ordered a funeral ceremony to be prepared in his official residence. By the time of the burial, the funeral specifications were the same as those of Huan Wen. Because of his exploits in defeating Fu Jian, he was posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Luling County.

Xie An is gone, and he is not calm!

Xie An wanted the Northern Expedition and wanted to recover the north, but after all, he was powerless.

Soon after, on the outskirts of Health City, Taibai Academy was established.

It is said that Taibai Academy was established by Taibai monks, who wanted to emulate Confucius, teach without class, and educate the world.

It is said that Taibai Jushi is proficient in scriptures, calligraphy, painting, poetry, history, arithmetic, the art of war, hundreds of crafts, astronomy, etc., all of which are proficient.

It is said that there are eighteen great Confucians, and they are all defeated and gone, and they are ashamed.

It is said that the Xie family, the Wang family, treated them with the courtesy of their fathers.

There are too many legends, there are too many legends.

Taibai Academy was established, and countless scholars and poor families all went to listen to its lectures, and suddenly the prestige of Taibai monks spread in Jiankang.

…………

"In addition, the mountain and sea map was built by the master after a hundred years!"

In the western suburbs, on a huge high platform, hanging the "Mountains and Seas Map" (that is, the world map), Liu Xiu began to pretend, no, it was a lecture.

"The ancients said that there is Kyushu on the land, and there are five suits outside Kyushu, and there is Tanggu in the east outside the five suits, and there is quicksand in the west, and there are flames in the south and cold mountains in the north. However, the world is just Zhuhua, and outside of Zhuhua, there is another world! ”

Liu Xiu said lightly: "The map of Kyushu explains the world; Mountains and seas, illustrate the world! ”

"Sir, but you want to find immortals!" A scholar asked.

"The so-called Penglai, Yingzhou, there are no immortals, only savages, slash and burn, wild to the extreme, compared to the Huns, Xianbei, not as good!" Liu Xiu said lightly: "This is the Americas, the legend is that the Yin Shang perished, and the Yin people continued to migrate to the Americas!" ”

"To the north is the land of bitter cold, and it is thousands of miles of grassland, where Beirong lives. To the north of the grassland, there is an ice field of ten thousand miles, and at the end of the ice field is an endless iceberg, which is about 100 zhang high, floating on the surface of the sea, and there are seals and white bears on it. ”

Liu Xiu spoke very quickly, telling about the geographical knowledge of later generations, and immediately stunned everyone present.

"This is the Western Regions, two thousand miles to the west, there is a country of Great Xia; Bactria traveled more than 5,000 miles to the west, and there was the country of Persia; Persia traveled five thousand miles west to the sea. The sea is surrounded by a continent and is known as the Mediterranean Sea. To the north of the sea are Greece, Macedonia, and Rome, and to the south of the sea are Egypt and Carthage."

"To the south of the Mediterranean Sea is Africa; North of the Mediterranean, for Europe! ”
