"Liang Guo should be just bluffing." After Xie An read the pile of bamboo slips on the case, he made a judgment.

"Di Liang has always been insatiable, the service is complicated, the more urgent the invasion, our army strengthens the defense, with the advantage of the water army, it should be able to block the attack of the northern army. It is better to take this opportunity to lure out Yuan Zhen's army, gather and annihilate it in the water, and go to the country to harm. Hand over Fan Wen, where will the face of the court remain? This move hurt the people from afar, and since then, the hearts of the people have been lost, and the Northland is not owned by the country! Wang Tanzhi arched his hand.

"Does the imperial court still have the heart to control the north now? Huan Wen is pressing forward step by step, but he is afraid that the next step will be to abolish the establishment. Sima Yu's face was full of sadness.

Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor in order to establish his authority, and Han Sima Shi abolished Cao Fang in order to usurp power.

The number of ministers is in the same vein.

In the Jiankang court, the power structure of the king and the horse also underwent some changes, Xie An was vigorously promoted by Sima Yu to participate in state affairs, but the corresponding Wang Tanzhi was also reused and promoted to a free cavalry attendant.

Shengde is a peerless guest, Jiangdong is the only one Wang Wendu.

The former is talking about Xi Chao, and the latter is Wang Tanzhi.

The Sima family vigorously encircled the Wang Xie family, also for the sake of the Sima family, if these two families stand on the side of Huan Wen, Jiangdong will change the sky.

So the problem above Sima Yu's head is not Fan Wen, but Huan Wen.

"This matter was originally the decision of the Great Sima, this time the Liang State sent troops, and Jingxiang must be taken, so let the Great Sima fight with the Liang army!" Sima Yu shook his tail unhurriedly.

Relying on Jiangdong is helpless to Huan Wen, but if the Liang army and the Jing Xiang army lose both, the opportunity for the Sima family will come.

Fan Wen has fled to Jiankang for more than three months, and Sima Yu has been avoiding this matter intentionally or unintentionally, in order to put Huan Wen under pressure.

Xie An said: "Lord Liang is working hard, the Central Plains is no longer desirable, and the future pattern of the world will be three-legged within ten years, and the north and south will be divided within twenty years." ”

This sentence undoubtedly decided the life and death of Fan Wen.

All those who should go south in the north went south, and the rest of the people turned into Liang people.

The three-legged stand is the best pattern, the division between the north and the south is also acceptable, and Jiangdong can still be partial to peace for twenty or thirty years, as for the future, what will happen in the world, who can say?

Xie An, like many Jiangdong scholars, has long given up the north in his heart.

"Twenty years is enough." Sima Yu said helplessly.

Jiangdong's broken ship can still last for twenty years, what is he not satisfied with?

Fortunately, Huanwen's Northern Expedition failed, if it succeeded, who else in Jiangdong could stop him? Sima's family has long been ripped off......

At this moment, on the city wall of Xiangyang, Huan Wen was looking at Jiangbei and worried.

On the north bank of the Han River, more and more Liang troops are gathering in the upper stream, tens of thousands of people are building bamboo rafts for crossing the river, and sawdust flows along the Han River to the shore of Xiangyang City.

Hanshui is not the Yangtze River, and it cannot reach the point of the moat.

From Xincheng County, holding a sheepskin raft, it will take half a day to rush to the city of Xiangyang.

Wang Meng, Xu Cheng, Qin Biao, Mi Jin and other generals, with the rise of the Liang State, their reputation became more and more famous.

"Hand over Fan Wen, and in the future Northern Expedition, I'm afraid that no one will respond, and if I don't hand it over, the Liang army is going to attack Jingxiang." Huan Wen stood on the city wall and hesitated.

Although Jing Xiang's foundation is still there, his vitality has been injured.

Only nine months have passed since the war, and the Liang army came again, and Huan Wen didn't catch his breath.

"Maybe Liang Ren is just bluffing?" Xi Chao looked calm.

"The virtual is real, the real is virtual, Wang Meng, Xu Cheng's 50,000 army Chen Bing Jiangbei, if it is a sudden blow, how can I resist?"

Nanyang was in the north and Xincheng County was in the west, controlling the upper reaches of the Han River, and Jing Xiang had to devote a lot of energy to defense.

Even if he knew that Liang Guo was bluffing, Huan Wen didn't dare to take it lightly.

"If King Langya doesn't hand over Fan Wen, he must want to weaken our army by the hand of the Liang army, and Duke Huan must be guarded against." Xi Chao changed the topic.

"Foolishness, the skin will not be attached, once Jingxiang is lost, Jiangdong is safe?" Huan Wen airway.

Xi Chao said quietly: "Handing over Fan Wen is a setback to the prestige of the imperial court, and it is to protect this person, but to lead the Liang army to attack me." ”

With such an analysis, the matter could not be more obvious.

The actions of this period of time were also to hit the prestige of the Jiankang court and weaken the Jiangdong clan.

"Then ...... The great cause of the Northern Expedition ......" Huan Wen looked regretful.

"The general trend of the world has been decided, the foundation of the Liang State is solid, and Jiangdong is weak, not only does there be no opportunity for the Northern Expedition, but it is also necessary to guard against the Liang army going south, and the Northern Expedition can only be discussed in the long run."

What Xi Chao is most afraid of now is the Huanwen Northern Expedition.

Without the last Northern Expedition, the Jin Dynasty could still hold up a bit of orthodox scenes, a Northern Expedition, which exposed Jiangdong's original form, and also sent grain, grass, and population to the Liang State......

In today's situation, it would be good to be able to hold one acre and three points of land in Jiangdong.

"A letter from the table, let the court hand it over." Huan Wen can only accept reality.

"The important thing at the moment is not only Liang State, but also Shuzhong, Di Qin is tired of attacking Chengdu and does not defeat, and he will come again."

In fact, after the defeat of the Northern Expedition last year, Huan Wen had already given up Shuzhong, and no support army was sent.

But unexpectedly, the veteran Zhou Fu withstood the pressure and guarded Chengdu.

"Did the guest mean to increase the number of troops to defend?" Huan Wen frowned, he didn't look down on Chengdu from beginning to end, and the cost of governance was too great.

"No, my subordinates think that when the people of Chengdu are moved, it is not appropriate to invest too much here, and because of the shrinking of troops, Jiangdong should be decided first."

"Give up Shuzhong?" Huan Wen glanced at Xi Chao.

"The gateway of Shuzhong, Badong, Ba County, and Danqu are all in my hands, and they can be attacked and retreated, Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Chengdu, and the mountains are blocked, Qin can get it, but it can't be kept, if it is a business, waste national strength, make a wedding dress for us, as long as Huan Gong settles Jiangdong, Shuzhong can be retrieved at any time, and in the future, it can also be used with Liang to fight Qin, and then recover Shuzhong, it is better to give it up to his subordinates!"

Huan Wen is actually not very concerned about all the territories except Jiangdong and Jingxiang.

Not to mention investing troops in Shuzhong, especially in this stormy time, there are only some barbarians and bandits left in Shuzhong, and the value of defense is not great.

Di Qin took advantage of the defeat of the Northern Expedition to capture the Sword Pavilion Mianzhu, and the gate of Shuzhong was already wide open, and he couldn't hold it if he wanted to.

What's more, Huan Wen has to face the pressure of Wang Meng and Xu Cheng in the north, and he has to deal with Jiangdong, so he doesn't have the mental strength.

"If Fu Jian'er wants it, he will give it to him, and order Zhou Fu to retreat to Ba County." Huan Wen shook his hand, not paying much attention to it.

Nothing is more important than his great cause of entering Jiankang to seize power and usurp the throne.

"With the national strength of Di Qin, taking Shuzhong is already the limit, such as today's comparison is who first recovers the national strength, and now the Northern Expedition is not successful, he can use Shu to establish his prestige again." Xi Chao has a long-term vision.

The Liang State was strong, and the Northern Expedition brought humiliation upon itself, and no one in Jiangdong today dared to mention the slogan of "recovering Shenzhou".

If you want military merits, you can only find a way from Di Qin.

A broken Shu Zhong invited Qin into the urn, which can be regarded as a clever plan.

"Wonderful!" Huan Wen breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense brows also relaxed.
