Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Dong Pinggong seems to be a little excited, but it seems that it is not good for you to leak the military secrets of Qin in front of foreign ministers like this."
Yao Shao was stunned on the spot. Suddenly, he turned around and knelt down on one knee towards Yao Xing, saying in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if I make a mistake in front of a foreign envoy, I will be punished by death!"
Yao Xing smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, Duke Dongping, as Mr. Tao said, the relationship now is not between countries, it's just me and him discussing the world. Everyone knows about our army mobilization, then
These intentions are not secret. Just get up and protect my safety. There is no need to say more, but there is one thing. These conversations must not be spread to outsiders. "
Having said this, a cold light flashed in Yao Xing's eyes, and an unspeakable power suddenly burst out from his whole body, causing Yao Shao to shut his mouth, stand up, salute, and retreat.
Yao Xing turned to look at Tao Yuanming and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tao, I have always wanted to ask you something. Even if the traitor Helian Bobo is causing trouble in Lingbei now, he is nothing more than a scabies problem to me, Da Qin.
Even if the barbarians in Liangzhou attack each other, they will not threaten the heart of the Qin Dynasty. The Central Plains and Jingbei have a large population and fertile land. Even if there is a choice, I still want these places. You want me to give up and finally occupy them.
The Nanyang Basin is said to be good for me, but I don’t understand what the benefit is.”
At this point, he paused: "Even if I temporarily need to mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress Helian Bobo, I don't need to abandon the twelve counties of Nanyang. I only need to accept Huan Zhen, and then connect with Qiao Zong and let him go east to fight for Baling.
I'm afraid your Duke Liu won't be able to raise a large army and go north. After I finish taking care of Helian Bobo and the army goes south again, what you have to worry about is whether you can keep Jingzhou instead of plotting against me in Nanyang."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "If Helian Bobo is so easy to deal with, then the existing troops and horses in Guanzhong are enough to destroy him, so why bother to mobilize more than 10,000 troops from the south? With more than 10,000 troops, the most we can do is attack all the way.
However, it is far from being able to eliminate Helian Bobo, because his Hu Xia cavalry traveled thousands of miles across the river. They did not set up city walls or forts. They came and went without a trace. They did not stay for a long time after attacking the city. Instead, they plundered the people and then evacuated.
By the time you gather Guanzhong's cavalry and arrive, he will have already left. It's this style of fighting that gives you a huge headache. Your Majesty, am I right?"
Yao Xing gritted his teeth: "If necessary, I can connect with the Northern Wei Dynasty and destroy him together!"
Tao Yuanming laughed: "If it could be done, I'm afraid the king would have done it long ago. Why wait until now? Not to mention that the Northern Wei Dynasty has always had little interest in Hetao. Now they have to sort out their own internal affairs and digest the occupied Hebei and Bingzhou lands.
Even on the grassland, the great enemy is Rouran from the north, not the so-called enemy, but the Hu and Xia who are almost invulnerable to each other. Even if the Northern Wei Dynasty really sent troops to destroy the Hu Xia, there would be one more wolf in the Hetao.
Evil Tiger, when the time comes, the situation in Da Qin will be even more dangerous. My King, what do you think?"
Yao Xing frowned: "If necessary, I will go on another personal expedition to personally eliminate Helian Bobo. After all, our Daqin is thousands of miles away and has hundreds of thousands of armor. Now we are going all out to deal with Hu Xia. It is not without a chance of winning!"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "If this is really the case, Great Qin will have to withdraw all its troops from the Central Plains and concentrate your hundreds of thousands of troops. You will also need to accumulate a large amount of food and grass. Even if you can win such a force, Helian Bobo is not stupid, and he may not be stupid.
He will stay in Hetao and fight with you. When the time comes, he will flee to Mobei and join Rouran. Will your army be able to stay in Hetao for a long time? If you really do this, let alone Nanyang, you will only be afraid of Luoyang.
, Da Jin will also accept it. Even if Da Jin does not take action, will Northern Wei and Southern Yan not bite this piece of fat? "
Yao Xing's eyes were shining, his face was uncertain, and he was lost in thought.
Tao Yuanming paused and said: "It is not impossible to take in the Huan family. Just like when Huan Xuan killed the old generals of the Beifu, you also collected some old generals of the Beifu. Between countries, you can take in the exiled old generals of the enemy and traitors.
, has existed since ancient times. Since the chaos at the end of the Jin Dynasty, it is not unusual for people from the north and the south to defect to each other. However, if the land of Nanyang is used to accommodate Huan Zhen and continue to occupy it and become an enemy of the Jin Dynasty, that is another
What's going on, this is tantamount to a declaration of war against the Jin Dynasty, which means that we completely fall out with Liu Gong. At this stage, I am afraid that Liu Gong will personally lead the army to attack, and the target is by no means only Nanyang."
Yao Shao glared at Tao Yuanming, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth. If he hadn't been banned by Yao Xing, he would have been able to yell and refute him.
Tao Yuanming looked at Yao Shao and smiled slightly: "Guangping Gong seems to be very angry. He wishes he could take your 10,000 elite soldiers back to Luoyang right now to fight to the death with Liu Gong. However, our Central Plains art of war is good, and the king cannot do it because of it.
If you raise an army out of anger, you should not attack out of anger. Fighting out of anger will affect the affairs of the state. Your Majesty should understand this truth."
Yao Xing said coldly: "I believe that with Guang Ping Gong's ability, it is not impossible to defend Luoyang and even Nanyang. Liu Gong is indeed good at fighting, but our Qin Dynasty also has many soldiers and generals. We can unite with Nan Yan to defend the Central Plains."
, it’s not impossible. Besides, there are not a few enemies of Mr. Liu in your family. I have at most one Helian Bobo. He has Qiao Shu in the west and Tianshi Dao in the south. These are just open enemies, secretly.
Whether it is the high-ranking Jiankang family or his colleagues in the Beifu, they may be troubles in the future. If he really had this strength, he would have sent troops to seize them long ago, why bother to be polite first and then attack?"
Tao Yuanming smiled and shook his head: "But my king, you may have overlooked one thing. The rebels in Xishu and Lingnan are far away from each other, so it will not take a while to eradicate them. As for the high-ranking Jiankang families you mentioned
My colleagues in Beifu will not openly fall out at this time. At most, they will only compete secretly. And this secret competition means making contributions to the country and the people. The Liu Yi and Liu Guanjun you mentioned before are the coaches of the Western Expedition.
After destroying Huan Xuan, we are now mopping up the remaining enemies, and are about to have a decisive battle with Huan Zhen. You must also know the outcome of the war. Liu Guanjun has made great contributions, so my Liu Gong will not be idle. Then if it were you, Liu Gong, what would you do?
How to choose?"
Yao Xing said bitterly: "What do you mean, my Da Qin, which is inferior to Western Shu and Lingnan, wants to be Liu Yu's first target? Tao Yuanming, who gave it to you and your master?
Such courage, so you don’t put me and Da Qin in your eyes?”
Tao Yuanming smiled calmly: "It's not that we look down on the King and the Qin Dynasty, it's just that there is no better choice."
