Sima Daozhi roared in a deep voice, shocking many ministers in the court, and the ministers stopped their mouths and realized that they could not call the shots. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Prime Minister, the great enemy is coming, what can I do about it?" Sima Daozhi turned to Xie Andao. The prime minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, who had lived in seclusion in Dongshan, has been wearing a mysterious halo, known as "An Shi does not come out, will be like the common people!", he debuted only a few years, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has become a thriving trend, Sima Daozhi has great confidence in it.
Hearing Sima Daozhi's question, Xie An opened his eyes, a pair of eyes were blazing, flashing with wisdom, he arched his hand to Sima Daozhi, and then looked around and said: "Military affairs, decide Your Majesty, plan the prime minister, plan the big Sima, and plan the national teacher." β
The surrounding ministers suddenly turned red, and Xie An was directly slapping them in the face, saying that they were not qualified to participate in military affairs.
Sima Dao was secretly angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute Xie An, not to mention that this was the autumn of survival, he still had to rely on this Xie family pillar, so he reluctantly smiled and said: "Everyone in the Qing family, retreat first!"
When the emperor spoke, all the ministers had to say in unison: "The ministers are leaving." β
After all the ministers left, Sima Daozhi sent someone to recruit Xie Xuan into the palace.
Although Xie Xuan was a military general, he was gentle and elegant, he entered the hall, bowed to Sima Daozhi and said, "Minister Xie Xuan, meet Your Majesty!"
Sima Daozhi smiled: "Xie Shuai is exempt." β
Xie Xuan said, "Your Majesty Xie!" Then he turned around and stood diagonally opposite Xie An, silent.
Sima Daozhi looked at Xie An and said, "Prime Ministerγγγγγγ He loves and hates Xie An, hates Xie An more calmly than himself, and loves Xie An's calmness, which can extinguish the anxiety in his heart.
Xie An smiled slightly, glanced at Sun En, and said to Xie Xuan: "Report the situation of the Beifu Army to Your Majesty." β
Xie Xuan said: "At the beginning of the prime minister's tenure, he ordered Wechen to secretly recruit children from good families in the Lianghuai River Valley, and obtained 100,000 troops, trained by Wechen, which lasted three years, eliminated 20,000 people, and obtained 80,000 elite soldiers, none of which could not be ten. β
Sima Dao's heart was ecstatic, and then he was shocked and asked, "Why didn't I know about the existence of this elite army?"
Xie An explained: "At the beginning of the minister's departure from the mountain, he found out that King Qin had arranged countless secret agents in our country, and in order to keep it secret, he did not inform His Majesty about this matter. β
Sima Dao was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, and said secretly: "If you can survive the crisis this time, Xie An can't use this person anymore." β
Xie An naturally saw the emperor's imperial tricks, but he didn't care at all, and continued: "When the minister saw that Wang Meng had arranged many secret agents to peep into our dynasty, he knew that his ambition was not small, so he trained this elite army to deal with today's situation. β
Sima Daozhi suppressed the anger in his heart, and said worriedly: "Prime Minister, it is said that Fu Jian led 800,000 people to the south, and we only have 80,000, is the number too small? β
Xie An smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the victory or defeat of a war is not determined by the number of people, otherwise everyone only needs to compare the number of people, what kind of battle will they fight?"
Sima Daozhi was reprimanded by Xie An, and the chick nodded like a peck of rice: "Yes, yes!"
Sun En shook his head secretly, and at the same time deeply admired Xie An's old scheming.
At the beginning of Xie An's tenure, he found him and asked him to train an elite army with him in case of emergency, and asked him to ask the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Master to go down the mountain and set up a dragon and tiger array to cover up the tracks for the army's training. At the beginning, Sun En only admired Xie An's prudence, but at this time, he was on the ground.
"Prime Minister, where is our army?" said Sima Daozhi cautiously.
Sun En stepped out and said, "Poor Dao will solve your majesty's doubts." "He must stand up at this time, one for selfishness, two for the public, if he doesn't stand up, Sima Daozhi will think that the army is the Xie family's private army.
Sima Daozhi's face was happy, and he said, "The national teacher also knows this army?" The Sima family advocates Taoism, and Sun En, who represents Longhu Mountain, supports him.
Sun En nodded, came to the map, pointed to the map and said: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the Yellow River, the Yellow River divides into three rivers to the south, and from west to east are Yingshui, Weishui, and Luoshui." If the Qin State is to march south, it must follow the river, and there is no reason to go south along the Yingshui, southward along the Weishui, and southward along the Luoshui. β
Seeing Sima Daozhi's nod, Sun En continued: "Your Majesty, please look here, this is Kip Stone Mountain, which is the garrison of our army, which is adjacent to Weishui, Yingshui can be reached in two days to the west, and Luoshui can be reached in five days to the east. No matter which direction Fu Jian attacked, our army could attack it halfway. β
Sima Daozhi said worriedly: "It is said that Fu Jian's army has secretly arrived in Luoyang, and most of his troops are cavalry, and they will go south from Luoyang, but they will be able to drink the Yangtze River in five days. β
Sun En looked at Xie Xuan, Xie Xuan smiled slightly, walked to the map, and explained: "Fu Jian secretly marched east along the Yellow River, relying on Luoshui to go south, but the route of the march was not unexpected by the prime minister. Your Majesty, please see, this is Shouyang, the north and west sides of Shouyang are wrapped by Huaishui, the east side is the water, the south is the vast Chaohu Lake, it is a natural place for soldiers to die, as long as we attract Fu Jian to Shouyang, when he crosses the water, half of the crossing, will be able to do everything in one fell swoop. β
Sima Daozhi's eyes lit up, and then he said in distress: "Fu Jian is not a fool, how could he turn to Shouyang?
Xie An smiled: "Then give him a reason to have to attack!"
Sima Dao was stunned, a bad feeling rose in his heart, and asked, "What reason?"
Xie An bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty please send 30,000 healthy defenders and 70,000 elite soldiers from Yangzhou to personally march and garrison Shouyang to attract the main force of Fu Jian's army to the west." "He is clearly using Sima Daozhi as bait to catch Fu Jian's big fish.
Sima Daozhi's face turned pale and said: "Fu Jian has 800,000 elite soldiers, and I only bring 100,000 soldiers to the north, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold Shouyang City." Besides, Fu Jian has already arrived in Luoshui, and we are now too late to draw elite troops from Yangzhou!"
Xie An smiled slightly: "It's too late, there is a national teacher to solve your majesty's doubts about this." β
Sun Endao: "Poor Dao is near the Beifu Army, and I found that there is a force that is spying on the Beifu Army, which is an immortal force. The minister reported this force to the Celestial Master, who believed that this force was our ally, and they would stop Fu Jian's army at a critical moment to buy us time. β
Xie An bowed again and saluted, "Please Your Majesty to drive the expedition in person." β
Sima Dao's hand shook, and he said a little weakly: "Is there no other way?
