Xie Hui's words were sonorous and powerful, matched with his gestures and resolute eyes, and he spoke faster and faster: "Now the civil strife in the Jin Dynasty has calmed down, Jingzhou has finally taken back the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and there is also the Beifu Army led by Liu Zhenjun.
He is invincible, whether he is a traitor or a traitor, he is vulnerable to the Beifu Army."
"Jingzhou has been leveled, and it is time to assemble the victorious divisions and march northward again to regain the lost territory. Liu Zhenjun was thinking of the suffering of the people, so he temporarily suspended the troops for two years. During the two or three years of the truce, he was able to manage Jiangbei
, to prepare the food and fodder needed by the army. In this way, when the next Northern Expedition comes, it will be successful in one fell swoop. Why does Tao Gong still doubt such a simple truth?"
Fu Liang gave a high-five: "Xuan Ming, that's well said."
All the generals present also smiled and nodded. Sun Chu laughed and said, "Xiao Xie joins the army. You are really awesome. You are indeed a descendant of the Xie family. There are all these truths that I, Sun, can't explain.
ah."
Yu Qiujin also nodded appreciatively and looked at Liu Muzhi: "Liu Changshi, the people you recommended are all talents. In the past, my brothers thought you were looking for some children from aristocratic families who could only recite poems and compose poems.
But this time, I, Lao Yu, am really convinced."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "You guys, I told you earlier that not all the children of the aristocratic family are incompetent, there are quite a few capable young people. These days, it is not easier for Xiao Fu and Xiao Xie to join the army than it is for you to fight.
, look at their eyes, they haven’t slept for a few days. From now on, everyone must work together in civil and military affairs and work together for a great cause."
All the generals in the tent agreed in unison. Liu Yu nodded and looked at Tao Yuanming: "Mr. Tao, do you have any objection to what Xuanming just said?"
Tao Yuanming kept squinting his eyes slightly and said nothing. After hearing Liu Yu's words, he gently opened his eyes and said: "Commander, what Xiao Xie joined the army said sounded reasonable and powerful, but still
Avoiding the important and taking the easy, he still hasn’t answered my question just now, which is why, for so many years, the Xie family, the Wang family and other high-ranking families have not been running Jiangbei?"
Xie Hui said in a deep voice: "I just said that because the previous ministers in power had no real ambitions for the Northern Expedition, they would not run Jiangbei, but now..."
Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "Xie Xuanming, do you want to say that your great-uncle, former Xie Xianggong, and Xie Zhenjun, the former governor of the five states, are also people who have no ambitions for the Northern Expedition?"
Xie Hui was speechless for a moment. Fu Liang stood up and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tao, of course the Xie family is dedicated to serving the country and wants to make the Northern Expedition. Otherwise, they wouldn't have formed the Beifu Army. It's just that
At that time, the army of the former Qin went south, and the Jin Dynasty had no time to manage the six counties in Jiangbei, so it could only form an army in the south of the Yangtze River and attack Huainan after training. But even so, the Beifu Army defeated the Yuzhou Army of the former Qin in the first battle. It was difficult to defeat. Peng Chao
A hundred thousand troops swept across the Pengcheng area. We had the strength to defend Jiangbei back then, let alone now!"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "It's a good idea for me to join the army, but Xie Xianggong has been prime minister for twenty years, and he didn't just become prime minister during the Battle of Feishui. In the previous ten years, he didn't manage Jiangbei either."
Ah, everyone among us in the Jin Dynasty knows that the area north of the Yangtze River is a dangerous battlefield, and the barbarians can move south at any time."
"Over the past hundred years, the Jin Dynasty has repeatedly fought with the Hulu here. There are garrisons in important places such as Pengcheng, but they will never run the countryside like Sanwu. They are afraid that the Hulu will go south. If they lose in the field, they will not be able to do anything.
No one dares to take the risk of being unable to protect the vast countryside, having the grain and grass that have been cultivated for many years being plundered by others, and the population being captured by the enemy. The gains from years of hard work have only enriched the enemy's army."
Xie Hui gritted his teeth: "That's because the Jin army was insufficient in the past, especially in the direction of Yangzhou. It didn't have a strong army, and it had to be constantly prepared for Huan Ni's rebellion from Jingzhou, so it could only temporarily abandon Jiangbei and gather troops in Guangling.
On the front line of Jingkou, the garrison in Pengcheng resisted on the front line to buy time for the army to rescue. These are all old things in the past. Now there is chaos in the north, and there are many barbarians. The land of Qilu in the north of the Yangtze River is now owned by the Murong clan of Nanyan, and Yanzhou
, the Central Plains area is the territory of the Northern Wei and the Later Qin respectively, but they do not have many troops stationed here and do not pose a threat to us. Only Nanyan can be regarded as a threat to Jiangbei, but last time the Nanyan army was personally defeated by Liu Zhenjun
They were so shocked that they did not dare to go south. Afterwards, they even signed a non-aggression treaty."
Fu Liang smiled and said: "What Xuan Ming said is absolutely true. The current barbarians of the Three Kingdoms have no ability or excuse to threaten Jiangbei. It would be good if we don't fight them. How can they dare to take the initiative to invade? And the direction of Jingzhou is also now blocked.
Once it has been completely pacified, there will no longer be a need to gather heavy troops for defense in Jiangzhou and Yuzhou. We have enough troops to protect the north of the Yangtze River. Even if Nan Yan goes south, we can easily block it. I'm afraid Tao Gong will still look at today's Jin Dynasty with the old eyes."
Tao Yuanming shook his head with a smile and looked at Liu Yu: "It seems that the two young soldiers don't know the real intention of the commander-in-chief. Then please make it clear how many troops you plan to station in the fields and develop Jiangbei like this.
As for defense, the food, grass and manpower garrisoned in Jiangbei are needed to supply this army, or are they needed to accumulate food and grass for the future?"
Liu Muzhi's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tao, these are military secrets and cannot be discussed here. If you want to know, you can ask the commander privately afterwards, but here..."
Tao Yuanming looked around and said with a smile: "Really? Isn't this the headquarters of the Chinese Army General's Mansion? Are there still spies from the enemy country here? Since it is an upright national policy, shouldn't it be discussed here?"
Liu Muzhi's brows furrowed, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Yu waved his hand gently: "There is no need to say more, long history. Since Tao Gong asked this, there are no outsiders here, and the national policy we have formulated has no
What cannot be said to outsiders can be explained to everyone here, and Tao Gong can also convey it to the people of the world."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "I am all ears."
Liu Yu said calmly: "The current Jiangbei borders the Three Kingdoms. The Later Qin Dynasty has just reconciled with our Jin Dynasty. In addition, the Central Plains where it is located needs to cross the boundaries of Yuzhou and Yanzhou to get away from Jiangbei. Even the defenders of the Central Plains can't."
It’s only over ten thousand, so it’s nothing to worry about.”
"As for the troops and horses in Yanzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, they were mainly to defend against the enemy country of Southern Yan. Their heavy troops were not at the border with our northern Xuzhou. Although the Northern Wei Dynasty had no contact with our country since it entered the Central Plains, it did not raise a large number of troops to go south.
.The threats along the way can also be ignored.”
