"It's really hard to do something." The object of Yu Bing's conversation is no longer Wang Tanzhi, but Yu Ying. He didn't need to hide anything in front of his brother. He said wearily, "the clamp is too serious, and the strife between aristocratic families has hardly been cut off."
Yu Ying came from Jingzhou. He also got the news that the Han Army had annihilated the main force of Xuzhou army. He knew a few days earlier than Yu Bing before he came to qua by boat.
Qu'a is now the general hub of the Jin army in Yangzhou, where Yu Bing controls the overall situation.
Yu Ying knew what happened to those aristocratic families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so it was a very helpless reality.
As early as when the Wang family was the largest gate valve in the south of the Yangtze River, the Yu family did not add less chaos to the Wang family as the first gate valve. It should be said that there was competition in cooperation. Otherwise, how could the Yu family climb to the position of the first gate valve?
"What does Yuanzi say?" Yu Ying is most concerned about the Han Dynasty. He asked, "is the Han Army really so elite?"
More detailed information was sent back successively. It was confirmed that the Han Army had annihilated the main force of Xuzhou army. Liu Yan assumed the posture of attacking xiapi County, but did not take action. The reason was that Shi Zun of Pengcheng reacted.
"The Han Army has been increasing its troops." Yu Bing lost a circle in just a few days. He had big bags under his eyes and black circles under his eyes. He said hoarsely, "the Han Army used boats and ships to transport the captured population back to Qingzhou, and then brought soldiers. The number of Han troops on the southern line is estimated to have exceeded 80000, or even more and more, and no one knows how many there will be in the end."
Captivity is a bad word. It can be seen that Yu Bing has a sense of disgust for what Liu Yan has done.
Then again, Liu Yan is plundering people and plundering them wantonly. Not only people, but also those who can rob them. His place is like a locust crossing the border. How can Yu Bing, who has regarded Xuzhou as a thing in his bag, be happy?
It's true that the Yu family worked hard to mobilize for national hatred, but national hatred also needs to be rewarded. If all the interests in Xuzhou can be plundered by Liu Yan, how can the Yu family make up for the cost by robbing the territory? Can they just get the land?
"A tribe that has developed for four years has tens of thousands of troops?" Yu Ying did not understand: "are they all elite?"
Yu Bing was not sure whether it was the elite. He only knew that many fortresses and strongholds in Lanling county and Donghai County had been broken down. On the one hand, it reflected the Han Army's ability to produce and apply instruments.
Yes, those fortresses were destroyed by bed crossbows and stone throwing carts. Every time they were broken, the core figures of the family were killed. The family property was taken away, and the family became slaves.
"So cruel?" Yu Ying was so surprised that he said, "every time there is resistance, he will kill the whole family, and the other farmers will act as slaves?"
"Yes..." Yu Bing was full of hatred for Liu Yan because of this. He narrowed his eyes and said, "those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will die. It's too overbearing."
Yu Ying shook his head: "the central plains are rotten, and fortresses and strongholds are everywhere. In troubled times, I began to understand why the Han Dynasty could rise rapidly in just four years.", He paused and said slowly, "if we talk about fortresses and strongholds, where is it not in the south of the Yangtze River? Like the Central Plains, relying on fortresses and strongholds, there are few tax payers. Such people are useless for development. But we can't eliminate them. Liu Yan can destroy them recklessly."
"Those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die. Liu Yan publicly shouted such remarks." Yu Bing knows that his brother is ill and idealistic. Sometimes he doesn't care about the interests of the family at all, or he won't become friends with Huan Wen, who wants to take advantage of it. Being used by Huan Wen will feel no harm. "I have decided to send more troops north of the Yangtze River," he said
The Jiangdu across the Yangtze River has been captured by xie'an. The stone tablet Zhao Jun of Jiangshui Temple fled after the Jiangdu was broken, which means that the door to Xuzhou has been opened by the Jin army.
Except for Shi Zun's private army in Pengcheng, there are no formed national armed forces in other parts of Xuzhou. It is definitely a great opportunity for Jin troops to cross the river and make a northern expedition.
Because Liu Yan robbed in the north of Xuzhou, many people, including Yu Bing, had a sense of urgency and subconsciously felt that it was difficult to drink soup if it was not faster.
"The main force of the Han Army confronts Shi Zun's private army on the front line of Pengcheng. There are only some local armed forces in the other areas. I plan to add 20000 troops to the north bank and attack Huaiyin first." Yu Bing said and stood up. He went to the wall with a map of mountains and rivers, and waited for Yu Ying to come before he continued: "take advantage of the convenience of boats and boats, take advantage of the great rebellion of the garrison, capture Tangyi, Yu County, Guangling and hailing, and then push forward to Gaoyou. Strive to win the territory around the huaishui River and push into the Surabaya line within a month."
"If the Xuzhou army is really annihilated by the Han Army, it will not be difficult to achieve such a strategy within a month." Yu Ying thought for a moment or asked, "do you need cover from Jingzhou?"
The Jin army has only about 50000 troops on the Huaiyin battlefield. Yu Bing is determined to send another 20000 troops to the North Bank of the Yangtze River. With the troops already invested, there will be nearly 40000 Jin troops participating in the war, which is equivalent to using one-fifth of the whole Eastern Jin army.
Family private army? They are not used to fight for the country, but as the last force of the family. Yu Bing would not send his family private soldiers to the battlefield if he had no choice but to follow the national force to keep the grain road safe. It is enough to keep the war going smoothly. It is time for the private army to eat meat. It is good to leave some soup for the national force.
Not only the Yu family did it, but all the aristocratic families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty did it. There was no accident at all. This is also the reason why the Jin army always seems to be procrastinating in every battle, and it is easy to break up in a fierce battle.
The two brothers talked a lot. The next day Yu Ying returned to Jingzhou by boat. He would send boats from Jingzhou to help Yu Bing enter Huaiyin.
Seriously speaking, Yu Bing plans to push northward for three hundred miles in a month, which is the fastest and farthest time in decades. What's more, after the Central Plains aristocratic family fled to the south of the Yangtze River in a panic and panic, they made few big marches.
The Yu family still needs to do some work before marching, such as pulling more aristocratic families into the water, of which the Wang family and the Xie family are essential. In modern times, this is called risk sharing.
Liu Yan soon learned that the Jin army was going to rise. He was leading the main force of the Han Army to engage in a low-intensity battle with Shi Zun's private army in Boyang and Wuyuan. In fact, it was a confrontation scene.
At the last moment, Liu Yan was still happy that the Jin army was finally going north. At the next moment, Liu Yan received the news that the Jin army would not go north. This northern expedition ended with the capture of Jiangdu and Jiangshui temple.
Liu Yan was a little confused. How could the military action be so childish? After much inquiry, he knew that it was Sima royal family who called a halt to the northern expedition.
"Before and after the use of huge human and material resources, Xuzhou army was annihilated by us, simana family shouted to stop?" Liu Yan felt as if he had eaten a dead fly: "how can they do this!"
There is no more news in the Han Dynasty. Sima royal family is actually a shield pushed out. It is a large number of aristocratic families that secretly obstruct. Even the internal voice of Yu family is not so unified, not to mention the Wang family, Xie family and Huan family.
The opposing opinions are relatively clear. The Liang state of Zhang and the Yan state of Murong did not attack the Zhao state of Shijie as agreed before, so as to determine that the northern expedition was premature.
Yu Bing was extremely angry and went back to Jiankang to explain the fact that the Xuzhou army of Shijie Zhao state had been destroyed. In addition, he also talked about the impact of Ran min's separation of Guanzhong on Shijie Zhao state. But it's no use. Yu Bing's words are regarded as jokes. Most of the aristocratic families don't believe that the Han Dynasty, which rose in only four years, can annihilate more than 100000 Xuzhou troops. They suspect that it is a double play between Liu Yan and Shijie Zhao. They set a trap to let the Jin army go north.
The family background of the small ~ Dynasty ~ court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is so small. The troops that can be arranged in the Yangtze River defense line are basically border troops. In fact, the border troops should be the most capable troops of a country. Any loss will greatly damage the vitality of a country. Some aristocratic families do not oppose the Northern Expedition out of bad psychology. They think the time is not right and the situation is unclear.
The Yu family is now the first gate in the south of the Yangtze River, but they can't break their face with more than half of the aristocratic families. What makes Yu Bing most angry is that the Huan family not only backs the alliance, but also stands on the side of the Xie family. In fact, the Xie family and the Wang family wear the same pair of pants, which makes the Yu family isolated.
By the way, because Huan Wen was detained by Liu Yan, the owner of the Huan family has become Huan Yun. Huan Yun is Huan Wen's brother.
The first time Huan Yun became the head of the Huan family was to arrange to send the daughter of emperor Jin and Ming, Princess Nankang, and the sister-in-law named Sima Xing man, including several children of Huan Wen, to Jiangdu. Please send Xie an and Wang Tanzhi to contact Huan Wen, who is on the side of the Han Army, to reunite the family.
On the other hand, Yuan Qiao's yuan family also had similar arrangements, but because Yuan Qiao had only one son named yuan Fangping, he only left his son. Instead, he was sent to serve the sons of some brothers, and his wife also stayed and sent concubines.
As a result, Liu Yan was foolish when he learned the news. The Jin army didn't cross the river for the northern expedition. Even the captured Jiangdu and Jiangshui temple were directly burned and abandoned. Should he pat his ass and continue to nest south of the Yangtze River to be a shrinking turtle?
"The good news is that Wang Tan has come." Ji Chang's eyes lit up when he said this: "Sir, Wang Tan has such talent at the age of 13. It's a pity not to stay."
Liu Yan is still in a daze. It's a military event. Why can the small ~ Dynasty ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty play so much? There is no Shijie Zhao army to stop the Jin army. As a result, they don't go on the northern expedition? Don't even eat Southern Xuzhou without defense forces?
"Unreasonable!" Sang Yu kept sneering: "it's worthy of losing the offspring of a group of rats in the Central Plains. Sir, in the future, our army will go south, and such people can be killed!"
