Tao Yuanming frowned slightly: "Release Huan Qian? How is this possible? Qiao Zong had imprisoned him for several years, and Yao Xing sent envoys several times to ask for his release. He would rather damage the relationship with Hou Qin than to
Huan Qian was released from Longge Prison, how can he be released at this time?"
The black robe smiled slightly: "This moment is the same as that moment. When Huan Qian fled from Jingzhou to the Later Qin Dynasty, Yao Xing treated him with great courtesy, but did not give him a real official, let alone soldiers and horses to counterattack Jingzhou, so he gave up
Huan Qian wanted to leave, and later Qiao Shu founded the country. He took the initiative to request to go to Western Shu, because the Later Qin Dynasty still maintained a superficial peace with the Eastern Jin Dynasty and did not openly become enemies. Yao Xing even gave away the twelve counties of Nanyang.
To show his kindness to Liu Yu. In this case, it is impossible for Huan Qian to rely on the power of the Later Qin to take revenge, so going to Xi Shu, who also openly rebelled and became self-reliant, was the only option."
Tao Yuanming nodded: "It's just that he was too impatient. After he went to Xishu, he went around treating virtuous corporals, winning people's hearts, and even recruiting troops. This made Qiao Zong, who was not well-founded, suspicious and imprisoned him. But now and then he was imprisoned.
The situation is not much different, so what can Qiaozong do if he releases Huan Qian at this time?"
Heipao said confidently: "You haven't considered why Qiao Zong didn't kill Huan Qian directly back then, but kept him in prison until now? He knew that a guy who was ambitious and restless in his own country would rather offend Hou Qin.
They don’t release people, but they don’t kill them either. Why is that?”
Tao Yuanming's eyes lit up: "Is it so that one day, when the time comes, you can let him go back to Jingzhou to cause trouble?"
Heipao laughed and said, "Yuan Ming is indeed very clear. Yes, Western Shu is too weak compared to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It can easily destroy them just by relying on Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, but Hou Qin's reinforcements cannot be counted on again and again."
Yes, if we want to survive stably in the long term, the best way is to cause chaos in Jingzhou so that the Jin army has no time to go west."
"Jingzhou is the territory that the Huan family has been operating for many years. Although Huan Xuan was incompetent and was destroyed by Liu Yi, after all, the Beifu Army still has a shallow foundation here. The Huan family has many former officials. They are grateful for the kindness of the Huan family, or they are grateful for the demise of Huan Chu.
Later, there were many people who were dissatisfied that their family's interests had been harmed. The Beifu Army was powerful and they did not dare to cause trouble when Jingzhou was peaceful. But once there was an opportunity and Jingzhou was unstable, Huan Qian at this time was a super weapon that could
It comes in handy.”
Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "Then it would have to be that the Later Qin sent troops, or the Tianshi Dao in Lingnan rebelled and attacked Jingzhou to have such an effect. You are saying that the Later Qin might attack Yongzhou and trigger civil strife in Jingzhou.
Can you give Huan Qian an opportunity?"
The black robe curled up his lips: "Later Qin has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Luoyang in the Central Plains. If the Guanzhong troops come tens of thousands more, the pressure on Lu Zong in Yongzhou will be great. He is not a direct descendant of the Beifu Army. He was formerly a member of Huanxuan.
, but he surrendered when he saw that Huan Chu was about to be finished. Liu Yu did not trust him, and he also guarded against being annexed by the Beifu army. In the past few years, they had de facto separatist rule in Yongzhou and did not allow foreign troops to enter. But Yongzhou is now nothing more than Nanyang.
The basin has only 30,000 registered residents and only 20,000 soldiers and horses. If the army of the Later Qin comes to attack, it will be difficult to defend. Once Yongzhou is lost, Jingzhou will inevitably be unstable, and the old Huanchu troops everywhere will take the opportunity to cause chaos.
.The Sima family and the Huan family, who were fighting each other to death in the past, have now merged. Many people have been training secretly for a long time under the protection of Yao Xing. There is only one leader missing, and Huan Qian is the most authentic successor of the Huan family now, and can even be said to be the leader.
The last direct descendant of the Huan family has been welcomed by the public. Only when he goes to Jingzhou can the old tycoons from all over the country work together to cause great turmoil."
Tao Yuanming said seriously: "Isn't Qiao Zong afraid that Huan Qian will take revenge on him after he takes over Jingzhou?"
The black robe smiled slightly: "Qiao Zong is not the kind of person who doesn't want to make progress. It's just that the Shu army's combat effectiveness is low and they are unwilling to leave their hometown to fight, so they can only protect themselves. But once there is a chance to capture Bajun or even Jiangling,
He would not let go of a great opportunity. The last time Liu Jingxuan failed in his expedition to Shu, he left behind generals Bao Bo, Shi Yanzu, and Wen Yanmao to assist him in retreating to Baidi City in Bao County. They only had an outpost force of two to three thousand people.
That's it, many of them are the surrendered soldiers of Yang Chengzu before, but because he was afraid of Liu Daogui in Jingzhou behind, Qiao Zong did not dare to send troops to attack."
"But if Jingzhou itself is in chaos and Liu Daogui has no time to protect himself, then Qiao Zong will definitely send troops out of Sichuan to attack Bajun, and even go further into Jiangling. He will release Huan Qian to test, and he can follow up to capture Jingzhou if he advances, and he can take advantage of it if he retreats.
There is no loss in seizing Bajun at random. The people of Shu do not want to go to war because they do not want to fight a defeat without reward. If they can win and capture something, they will not be so resistant. You can tell Qiao Zong about this.
Understand, let Hou Hui and Yang Mei go to lobby the Shu army general Qiao Daofu, and together they can make suggestions to Qiao Zong, and we will definitely succeed."
Tao Yuanming was a little surprised: "Qiao Daofu? What do you want to do with him? Generals Hou and Yang are the heroes who founded the country and hold a high position. It's enough to have them speak to you."
The black robe shook his head: "It is precisely because General Hou and Yang forced him to rebel by admonishing him, so although he gave these two people promotions, he was guarded in his heart. After all, betrayal will happen soon.
After the founding of Western Shu, generals Er, Hou and Yang were promoted to the court, but they were no longer allowed to control the army. Now the number one general in Western Shu is Qiao Daofu, a clan member of the Qiao clan. The last time Liu Jingxuan conquered Shu
At that time, this man led the troops to occupy Huanghu, and had made great achievements in battle. Now he has a large number of troops and is trusted by Qiao Zong. Qiao Zong will definitely seek Qiao Daofu's opinion on this battle plan."
Tao Yuanming frowned: "Then Qiao Daofu would agree to send troops to Jingzhou and let Huan Qian go? I heard that Huan Qian was the one who reported him, and he was the one who led the troops to capture Huan Qian."
Heipao smiled and said: "Doesn't this just mean that Qiao Daofu is ambitious and wants to make contributions and conquer his own world? Huan Qian's activities in Shu threaten the Qiao family's rule. Of course he cannot tolerate it, but if Huan Qian is allowed to
Qian was his leader and opened the way for him, which was something he could not ask for. Moreover, this person was loyal to Qiao Zong on the surface, but when he took over, General Yang's army tried his best to use them for his own purposes.
If you take orders from him alone, I think he will strongly agree to leave Jingzhou to build his own business. Once the time is right, he will return to Shu to abolish Qiao Zong and ascend the throne himself. Don't meet him in person. Give way first. Yang
The two of them went to convince him to show him the attitude of the great clans in Shu. Once the Later Qin and Western Shu are ready, then our opportunity will come!"
