Chapter 722: Persuasion
Although he had the assistance of Huan Shiqian, he only repelled the Haoqiang army.
The attack on Jiankang was frustrated, and the powerful coalition army retreated to Huiji and confronted Jiankang.
Huan Wen's appeasement, sealing officials, and making wishes were all useless, and the heroes did not compromise as before, and they were determined not to live with the "Beiling", with Huiji County as the core, and united Wu County, Wu Xing, Biling and other counties to divide one side and fight against Jiankang together.
Huan Wen was under pressure from the Northern Liang State, and there was no way to eliminate them for a moment, and the two sides were in such a stalemate.
"His Royal Highness retreats to the west, the thieves in the east are reinvented, and he has the merit of rebuilding in the world, so he should become a great unification, lead the people of the south of the Yangtze River, and then control the northern Kou!" Yuan Hong, a casual horseman, arched his hand.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall looked at Huan Wen with blazing eyes.
It is rare for the world to have a balanced situation, the first wave of the offensive of the Liang State was blocked, and the rebellion in Jiangdong was basically quelled.
The Haoqiang suffered heavy losses in Xuancheng, switched from offensive to defensive, and for a long time, they will not be able to attack.
Affected by this rebellion, the scholars basically had only one way left, and they hugged Huan Wen to keep warm and overcome the difficulties together.
This is a good time to claim the title of emperor.
Huan Wen's gaze turned to Xie An, who bowed his head and said nothing.
Xi Chao got up and said: "Jiangnan is temporarily safe, you should restrain the soldiers, appease the people, strengthen the troops and horses, accumulate grain and grass, and prepare the army for war. ”
Huan Wen, the king of Chu, is no different from the emperor, and even the titular emperor Sima Yu has to look at him and act.
But the king of Chu was not an emperor after all.
Moreover, the Jingzhou army forces that followed Huan Wen were not satisfied with plundering, they followed Huan Wen all the way into Jiankang, not to make others emperors.
The present tranquility is only a prelude, and the real storm is yet to come.
There is a Jin room on his head, and he will always be under the fence, and only when he ascends the throne as the emperor, the Jingzhou soldiers under his command will settle down.
In fact, the Jingzhou army was not as obedient as before, and after losing Jingxiang, the soldiers were resentful of Huan Wen.
In order to appease the army, Huan Wen allowed them to burn, kill, and plunder.
Once military discipline is relaxed, it is extremely difficult to pick it up again.
The key Huan Wen did not dare to use fierce medicine at this time, the Jingzhou army was his last reliance, offending them, Huan Wen couldn't even sit down the king of Chu.
"How is An Shiyi?" Huan Wen's gaze moved away from Xi Chao and fell on Xie An.
Xie An slowly raised his head and arched his hand, "The minister thinks that Jiangdong is suffering from internal and external troubles, and His Highness is not able to turn the tide, and His Highness will ascend the throne as soon as possible, and the people's hearts will be determined early." ”
"Please obey the will of heaven and ascend the throne as soon as possible!"
The others followed.
Even Sima Yu on the royal couch also persuaded: "Jiangdong is in danger so far, if it is not the king of Chu, he cannot stabilize the inside and outside, the Jin family has been inherited to this day, and it is also by relying on the king of Chu that it can continue to this day. ”
The words were sincere and sincere, which moved everyone present.
Sima Yu, the emperor, is really aggrieved.
In the past, when he was the king of Langya, he could also participate in national politics, and his words also had some weight, but after being driven by Huan Wen and put on the shelves, he was completely reduced to a puppet, and was raised by the scholars and kicked out of the core of power.
Sima Yu was depressed all day long, and even when he went out for a walk, he had to ask Huan Wen and the scholars for instructions......
"Your Highness......" Xi Chao had a bitter face, since Huan Wen met Xie An, he seemed to be enchanted, and he was getting farther and farther away from him.
"You are all working hard, how can you live up to it?" Huan Wen waved his hand and stopped Xi Chao's admonition.
Ascending the throne and becoming emperor is not an effective means to unite people's hearts, and he wants to give an explanation to the Jingzhou army......
Qingzhou, Wendeng County.
The waves slowly crashed against the shore rocks, and the warships on the water swayed gently, crowding the harbor and covering the water, and there were nearly a thousand of them.
There are all kinds of building ships, fighting ships, shipboards, bridge boats, Ge boats, red horses, and scouts.
A beam and a word flag stand solemnly on the bow of the ship, in the sea breeze wantonly waving, majestic and magnificent.
The soldiers were tanned and shiny one by one, but they were extremely capable and scurrying around on the mast, as agile as monkeys.
"It's just one fleet, the other two are in Liaodong, Tamna Island, and one is out to sea." The Navy Guardian Ma Gu explained behind him.
"If Your Majesty gives an order, you will wait for a month to recover the three counties of Lelang, Zhenfan, and Lintun!" Shen Jin arched his hand.
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Wei clan, he set up four counties of Lelang, Xuansu, Zhenfan, and Lintun, which were the four counties of the Han Dynasty.
Hundreds of years have passed, and only Xuansu is still in the hometown of the Han family, and the other three counties are all Goguryeo territories.
Li Yue smiled: "Hahaha, General Shen is brave!" However, the time has not yet come, and now the imperial court intends to the southeast. ”
"Your Majesty wants to use troops in Jiangdong?" Shen Jin's eyes lit up.
"But also, does the general have a good plan?" Li Yue looked at this powerful son from the Wuxing Shen family.
The Shen family and the Zhou family are both Wu Huiwang clans, the same is based on martial arts, when Wang Dun rebelled, Shen Jin's father Shen Chong stood on the wrong team, supported Wang Dun's rebellion, and couldn't turn over for decades.
Although it was not famous in the Jin Dynasty, when it came to Liu Song, there were many talents.
Hearing Li Yue's inquiry, Shen Jin arched his hand and said: "The last general is bold, since Your Majesty is touring east, he will definitely use the navy!" ”
"You're right, so how can the Navy march into the army?" Li Yue personally thinks that the children of Jiangdong are good, at least they are stronger than the Yiguan clan who went south.
Since the founding of the Sima family, the level of the Guandong Shi clan has plummeted, and they have been pressed to the ground by the rising star Guan Long Shi clan.
"When the sea enters the river, go straight to Jiankang!" Shen Jin is more radical than Li Yue's.
Ma Gu said: "The Jin army has heavy troops on the river, he lives upstream, I live downstream, and the sea ships are large, which is not conducive to river warfare." ”
In inland water warfare, the upstream and downstream have a decisive advantage.
Wang Junlou went down to Jiangdong by boat, relying on the benefits of the upstream.
Moreover, the Jiangdong naval army still has the strength to fight, and it is well defended around Jiankang, and it is too disadvantageous to go upriver from the Yangtze River, and it will be defeated if it is not careful, which will affect the land offensive.
"How about going farther and landing by Huiji?" Li Yue said with a smile.
Huiji is the stronghold of Jiangdong Haoqiang, and if you go ashore here, you can immediately connect with Zhou, Yu, Shen, He, Gu and other Haoqiang.
"Your Majesty is wise!" The elder Ma Gu arched his hand.
This route of march is not so difficult to guess, Ma Gu is an old man, and he has never been inconspicuous.
Shen Jin just didn't think of it for a while, or rather, he thought of it and didn't want to say it.
"From here to the south, land Huiji, can you do it?" Li Yue asked the most realistic question.
Ma Gu said: "It depends on when Your Majesty will march, hurricanes are frequent in summer and autumn, it is not suitable to travel far, winter and spring are the best, do not hide from Your Majesty, the East China Sea celestial and hydrological terrain, our army has already figured it out, going south is not a problem, only hurricanes are worried." ”
With his words, Li Yue has the bottom in his heart.
The navy has been mixed up for so many years, if it is not even familiar with the East China Sea, it is better to disband.
