Liu Muzhi's eyes were sparkling, and his tone was cadenced: "Murong's Xianbei had always been under the banner of the Jin Dynasty, but they went their own way. After Liu Kun's failure, they almost became the only Jin Dynasty with Qianliang.
However, after Ran Min usurped the throne of the Zhao Kingdom, the Murong family saw that the enemy was in civil strife and had an opportunity to take advantage of it, so the whole family went south, killed Ran Min, unified the Central Plains, and established the Yan Kingdom."
Liu Yu sighed: "When they established themselves as emperors, they were tantamount to rebelling from the Jin State. They were another white-eyed wolf. But it's no wonder that the Jin Dynasty just retreated to the south of the Yangtze River and was unable to regain the country."
Tan Pingzhi nodded: "The Jin Dynasty has not failed to make efforts. The great warlord Huan Wen also led the Northern Expedition when the Yan State sent troops to attack Ran Min. Unfortunately, in the battle of Fangtou, he was defeated by the famous general Murong of the Yan State.
I hang my hand, and I will never have the opportunity to visit the north again. It’s a pity.”
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "The Xianbei people occupied the vast grassland in the north after the Xiongnu's power disappeared. In the north is the Tuoba clan's Dai Kingdom, and in the east of Liaoning is the Murong clan's Yan Kingdom. They have strong soldiers and horses and a lot of cavalry. I, Wu Yue,
When the local infantry arrived in the north, they could not defeat Yan's iron cavalry on the plains. Moreover, their iron smelting skills were very high, and even their war horses could wear iron armor. They were said to be equipped with both armor and cavalry, and they were unstoppable when they attacked.
"
There was a trace of fear on Wei Yongzhi's face: "I have seen those terrible armored and cavalry uniforms. They are really like the God of Death. The man wears an iron mask, the horse wears iron armor, and is invulnerable to swords and arrows. If you encounter them on the battlefield,
, I really don’t know how to solve it.”
Liu Yu frowned: "If the Yan State's cavalry is so powerful, why did they fall to the Qin State later? You said before that the Di tribe who founded the Qin State did not have strong military capabilities. How could they defeat these people?
All armor and cavalry?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "The defeats of Shi Hu and Ran Min are the same. After the Yan State captured the Central Plains, although it had elite soldiers and generals, internal chaos broke out. After the clan general Murong Chui defeated Huan Wen and made great achievements, he was
Emperor Murong Wei was jealous and framed, so he had no choice but to flee his homeland and go to Qin."
"The State of Qin was founded by Fu Hong, a member of the Di tribe. They moved into the Central Plains during the Cao Wei period. When the Five Hus invaded China, their tribe wandered around. After the demise of Shi Zhao, there was a power vacuum in the Guanzhong area. These Di people
He took the opportunity to establish a foothold in Guanzhong and established the Qin State, and Wang Meng, a famous Han official, became the prime minister of the Qin State."
"The current ruler of Qin, Fu Jian, is popular and broad-minded. Although he is a foreigner, he has learned the essence of benevolence and righteousness from the Han family. He does light corvee and low taxes, and rests with the people, so that Guanzhong, which has been in ruins after years of war, can be restored.
In addition, he gave free rein to Wang Meng, a great talent, and almost perfectly solved the conflict between Han and Hu that had been unresolved for hundreds of years. Therefore, even in the face of the most powerful offensive when the Yan Kingdom emerged, he still stubbornly
Push it down."
"Later, Yan was in civil strife, and Murong Chui came to surrender. Fu Jian and Wang Meng thought that the time had come, so they attacked the Yan State with all their troops. Although the Yan army had a large number of troops, its commander Murong Ping was incompetent and had no ability to command an army. As a result, 400,000 soldiers were killed.
The army collapsed at the first touch, and the Yan State also perished, and all the monarchs and ministers became prisoners of the Qin State."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "This Murong family betrayed the Jin Dynasty, established a puppet dynasty in the north, framed Zhongliang, and destroyed the Great Wall. It is really not a pity to die."
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "They were lucky. They met Fu Jian, a benevolent king. He spared the lives of the monarchs and ministers who were subjugated. Not only that, he also gave him some false official positions to calm him down.
His heart is the same for the Liang Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom, and the Dai Kingdom in Mobei that he destroyed."
Liu Yu opened his eyes wide: "What, you won't kill the king who has subjugated the country? Doesn't that leave trouble for yourself? Although a tyrant like Shi Hu is undesirable, he is too kind."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Yes, this is probably the internal trouble of Qin State. I heard that Fu Jian recently ordered that the Di people living in Guanzhong be dispersed and moved to various places. This has made the Di people who were already underpopulated even more.
All was lost. Originally, because he wanted to treat the Han people well, he had been suppressing the Di tribe leaders in his country, causing a lot of dissatisfaction. In this way, it even planted the seeds of the empire. The seemingly powerful Qin State may be stronger than we imagined.
are more vulnerable."
Liu Yu shook his head: "No matter how fragile it is, it is a superpower that is thousands of miles away and has millions of armors. Based on this, Yongzhi, you came from Qin. Do you think I am right?"
Tan Pingzhi sighed: "If nothing else, this Fu Jian is indeed a benevolent and righteous king. Under his hands, our life is much better than before. It was a world of heaven and earth when we were in the Yan Kingdom, so we fled to the south.
At that time, we originally made appointments with more than a dozen families to go together, but in the end only our Tan family made the trip. To put it bluntly, we were reluctant to leave because we were living a good life."
Wei Yongzhi also followed up and said: "If we hadn't been members of the Celestial Masters, we wouldn't have been able to make this decision. The taxes we have to pay in Qin are even less than in Jin. If we weren't Han people, we really wouldn't be willing to leave our homeland."
Liu Yu sneered: "No matter how good Fu Jian is, he is still a foreign barbarian. Even if he can treat our Han people well in this life, will his descendants do the same? People who are not of my race must have different hearts. Han people
It is better to let Han people dominate the world. Besides, our Jin Dynasty also has famous ministers and virtuous ministers. Although there will be corrupt officials like Brother Diao Kui, in general, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so why should they be aliens?
Where are the people?"
Tan Pingzhi laughed: "Brother Liu is right. Listening to your words, we are even more convinced that Dajin has come to the right place this time."
Liu Yu nodded and looked at Liu Muzhi: "That is to say, the Five Husbands' rebellion in China has basically ended. Now the north, the Central Plains and Guanzhong, Longyou, Hexi, and Liangzhou are in the hands of Qin, while Bashu, Jing
Hunan, Lingnan, Lianghuai, Wu and Yue were in the hands of the Jin Dynasty, and they basically divided the world equally. But the population of Qin was four to five times that of the Jin Dynasty, and its military strength was also quite different, right?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, the Qin State's military strength is at least three times that of the Jin Dynasty, but the northern cavalry cannot exert its advantage in the water network in the south. This is the same as the southern infantry facing the northern plains.
The cavalry attack will suffer heavy losses for the same reason. Therefore, the two countries have been in a balance of power over the years, but in the process, the Han Prime Minister Wang Meng played an indispensable role. If he had not strongly opposed Qin's southern invasion, I am afraid that the war would have started long ago.
Already."
Liu Yu said disdainfully: "After all, as a Han Chinese, if you don't want to serve your country, but instead become a pawn of that foreign race, there is nothing praiseworthy."
