Although Huan Wen looks calm on the surface, in fact, his heart is already a turbulent wave.
No matter how incompetent the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is, it is also zhengshuo recognized by people all over the world. No one will show it without concealing it. Even because of some cultural heritage, even Shijie Zhao, who is an enemy of the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, maintains its due respect.
Look what Liu Yan is doing? He did not hide his disdain for the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and even clearly showed his contempt for those aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River.
Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao are both members of the Changjiang aristocratic family. They didn't break up because they were afraid of death in Liu Yan's army. Liu Yan said it too directly, which opened the scars well covered by the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Sima royal family really doesn't care about many aristocratic family door lords at present. The reason for maintaining the existence of Sima royal family is that it only needs a "co Lord". This "co Lord" is incompetent, which is the most ideal for those aristocratic family door Lords.
Those who have a little brain know that the actual situation of the joint governance of aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River is also clear that this is unfavorable to the country. In particular, this kind of enfeoffment and governance, which is not enfeoffment and governance, has led to large-scale internal friction among living forces, resulting in mutual wrangling and can't do anything.
There's nothing wrong. Who in the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty doesn't know such disadvantages? But the overall environment is already like this. It doesn't mean that a little peace of mind can be solved. It has become a dangerous situation that whoever is weak will be destroyed.
Just because the big environment has become a reality, how can you be angry? Regardless of the interests of the family to achieve what righteousness, can only be to bump yourself into the knife edge of others!
Huan Wen suppressed his anger: "what choice?"
"I can see that you are very angry, but you don't have any language to refute." Liu Yan doesn't look like a superior at all. He lacks that kind of bearing. He smiled and said to Huan Wen, "let you stay and help me recover the Central Plains. I'm afraid you'll think I'm crazy?"
Huan Wen pulled the corners of his mouth and didn't even have interest in jumping out a word.
How many members of the Han Dynasty? In fact, no one is interested. However, everyone is very concerned about the number of combat troops under Liu Yan's command. It is speculated that it should be between 30000 and 50000. There is absolutely no more.
So if Liu Yan has 50000 soldiers to fight, is there a lot of 50000 soldiers? Shi Hu can easily pull out hundreds of thousands of Hu people who can fight. He will destroy the Han Tribe in minutes.
"From your eyes, I saw the word 'joke'." Liu Yan lost his smile and smiled for a while before he said, "so you people who live in the south of the Yangtze River, even if you have enough ambition, you really don't know anything about the current situation in the world. Don't talk about your years of ignoring your fellow countrymen, being bullied and slaughtered by Hu people, and paying no attention to the changes in recent years?"
Huan Wen still didn't speak, but his face was very tight, obviously unconvinced.
The army is always moving. The rolling wheels are facing the southwest. There will be no problem walking hundreds of miles a day according to the speed. On the way, they met the team escorting the prisoners back.
An intelligence officer reported the front-line war to Liu Yan. Liu Yan didn't mean to avoid Huan Wen and others at all.
Mouxiang and Zhongqiu were captured by the Han Army last night. The forward cavalry was intercepted by the Shijie Zhao army cavalry from the direction of Yangdu. The two sides had an encounter on the plain 60 miles east of Linyi. The Han army defeated more than 4000 Shijie Zhao army light cavalry, beheaded more than 400 and captured more than 700. The remaining Shijie Zhao army fled without trace. In addition, the infantry of the Han Army, harassed by the cavalry of the Zhao army in Shijie, has stopped moving and is temporarily stationed in Zhongqiu waiting for follow-up troops.
"There were more than ten thousand enemy troops in the direction of Yangdu?" Liu Yan is asking sang Yu.
"Yes, four thousand were defeated, and about two thousand attacked our infantry?" Sang Yu said with a smile, "originally I wanted to gather around Kaiyang for help. Unexpectedly, Wang Luan made arrangements in advance."
The stone tablet Zhao Jun in Langxie County seems to have a look of more than 40000? If we include some mobs who are temporarily gathered up, the number of Shijie Zhao troops in Langxie county will be more. What sang Yu can't judge now is that the defeated cavalry is the regular army of the Zhao army in Shijie, or a miscellaneous brand temporarily gathered from some nomadic tribes, and more detailed information has to be transmitted.
"The Zhao army in Xuzhou is approaching 200000." Huan Wen listened to Liu Yan's discussion with others and said with some mockery: "although most of them are mobs, 200000 is 200000."
"Our army has defeated more than 200000 Hu people for more than the first time." Sang Yu glanced at Huan Wen and said, "for the useless Jin army, there are a lot of 200000 Hu people. For our army, 200000 Hu people are just 200000 cattle and sheep to be slaughtered."
Most of the people who heard it were sneering. It was time to admit that the Han Army looked not weak, but why did Liu Yan or anyone under his command boast so much?
Different cognition, different confidence and different ideas make it difficult to talk about it together.
In the following, Liu Yan didn't talk to Huan Wen and others, just let them follow and talk about anything.
"Yuanzi, we are in great trouble." Yuan Qiao smiled bitterly: "I didn't think Liu Sujun would be so... So..." should I say that he didn't play cards according to the card theory, or did he do such detention regardless of secular vision.
"Uncle Yan, i..." Huan Wen looked a little strange and hesitated again and again before he said, "maybe Liu Sujun has a card we don't know. After all, he broke out of today's foundation in four years."
Yuan Qiao frowned when he heard Huan Wen use the word "foundation industry". He knew that Huan Wen was a man of great ambition. After they made friends with Yu Ying, they agreed to do great things together. For Yu Ying, the great cause was to succeed in the northern expedition, seize the lost land and recover the Central Plains. For Huan Wen, the northern expedition is also a lifelong wish, but there may be some more complex things in it. Anyway, it is not as pure as Yu Ying.
"The man named Yu Shang has a lot of dignity and temperament. He hasn't heard of an aristocratic family named Yu in the Central Plains. It can be seen that he is a false name." Yuan Qiao thought on his face: "listen to a few more words. It seems that Liu Sujun and Li Min have reached an alliance?"
"It should be." Huan Wen said with great concern, "our intelligence seems to be wrong and delayed. It may also be that Liu Sujun wants to mislead us?"
Zhang Jun and ran min reached an agreement. Murong seal perfunctorized the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Two things are really important to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The northern expedition of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, whether it is the Liang state of Zhang or the Murong Yan state, occupies a very important position in the Northern Expedition plan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Compared with the role of the Han Ministry of Liu Yan, how to divide the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it should be that Murong seal is three times more important than Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun is three times more important than Liu Yan.
Only by coming to Liu Yan's side with your own eyes will you know how taken for granted and how stupid it is according to the previous division. Let's not talk about whether Murong Zhuang and Zhang Jun really cheated. Can they help this northern expedition of the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty? Only look at the 50000 army led by Liu Yan, the military equipment of the Han Army, and the elite of the Han soldiers. Liu Yan is not so weak.
The first time he talked about working for himself, Huan Wen didn't respond. Liu Yan never made a second choice with Huan Wen.
From the heart, Liu Yan still hopes to convince Huan Wen, that is, it needs a process. Maybe Huan Wen will change his mind if he sees too much, right?
On the other side of Zhongqiu, they met the infantry army that had been launched before, and the army continued to march towards Kaiyang.
The Han army went south and planned to attack Langxie County as soon as it came. The news had already reached Wang Luan.
In fact, tens of thousands of troops can't hide at all. After all, it's not a small team of more than a dozen people. Tens of thousands of troops can march secretly. How stupid should the enemy's leader be to not send scouts, or how blind should the enemy's scouts be?
"It's really a climate!" Wang Luan was born as a demobilized general, but unlike Cui Xuan, he did not have the actual ability to lead the army except for talking. After he transferred from the Liang state of Zhang to the Zhao state of Shijie, he made great achievements in several battles and was trusted by Shi Hu. He stood in front of the mountain map, looked at the information for a long time, turned his head and said to the subordinates standing behind him: "I thought Liu Yan would wait until the Jin army was ready. Unexpectedly, Liu Yan didn't care about the Jin army?"
A general named Wang Lang said, "whether it's a conspiracy or not, we can't see Kaiyang attacked by the Han army."
In fact, both Wang Luan and Wang Lang belong to Shi Zun. Although they have the same surname, they are definitely not related by blood.
Since Deng hengzai was in the hands of the Han Army, the generals of Shijie Zhao army have never underestimated the Han army. Wang Luan hesitated. Once the Xuzhou army turned its attention to the Han Army attacking Langxie County, what would the Jin army do?
"This is the Northern Expedition led by the Yu family, the first gate of Jin. We have to be careful." Wang Luan knows better than Liu Yan what the Yu family stands for in the south of the Yangtze River. He said very seriously: "Yu Bing served as the commander of the northern expedition of the Jin army. In only one month, the Jin army in Yangzhou soared from 40000 to 70000, and the source of troops is increasing every day. If it's just manpower, material resources are the most worrying!"
"Well..." Wang Lang frowned, "what does the military Lord mean?"
"First shrink and concentrate the troops along the line in case they are broken by the Han army." Wang Luan's face was full of thought: "if you ride quickly to inform Xiang, please order sun Fudu to attack Qingzhou immediately."
"Wonderful!" Wang Lang laughed a few times and said, "Liu Yan's back and hinterland must be empty when he invaded Xuzhou with 50000 troops against the thieves. Attack his back first. Liu Yan must be upset at the time. As long as Liu Yan's heart is in disorder, the morale of the Han army should also be low."
"That's what happened later." Wang Luan said firmly, "the state of Jin will certainly make old mistakes."
What's the old problem? Isn't it a habitual drag? It seems that Wang Luan also has a firm reason, because the Yu family has been feared by Sima royal family and most aristocratic families. It's strange not to do anything.
