Yao Xing laughed: "Your plan is very good, but if Liu Yu captures Guanggu in advance or withdraws his troops in advance, wouldn't it be useless if I send troops or pretend to send troops? Another one, even if I am
If you want to bluff, you have to mobilize tens of thousands of troops to show off, where do you want me to mobilize these troops?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "With Sima Guofan here, your majesty will stir up trouble within the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Liu Tingyun and other nobles who are dissatisfied with Liu Yu will be your majesty's allies within the Jin state, while Huan Qian and Qiao Zong are the ones your majesty can ask for."
The object of repayment is that as long as there is chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sima family raises the flag of rebellion, these aristocratic families will secretly provide arms and manpower support. If there is chaos in Liu Yu's country, it will be impossible to get continuous reinforcements and supplies. He can only rely on Qingzhou locals.
The Han people probably won’t be able to capture Guanggu City.”
"Liu Yi is guarding the country, but he will definitely not go all out like Jianyi and the crusade against the Huan family. At most, he will just deal with the problem, and even cooperate with these aristocratic families to act in the name of annihilating the rebels.
With my own strength, in this way, more and more thieves will be suppressed, and Liu Yi's strength will become stronger and stronger."
Yao Xing nodded: "That's true. This is why people with different intentions cannot be allowed to take charge of the army, no matter how powerful they are. Liu Yi, if even his wife is your internal agent, then it will be sooner or later for him to join forces with his husband
Regarding the matter, will Sir, after returning, simply join Liu Yi's shogunate?"
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "It's not appropriate now. Liu Yu has already set his sights on me, and Liu Muzhi, a fat guy, has sent people to track me thousands of miles away. This time I can see His Majesty, but I have made enough arrangements.
After all my efforts, I have even shaved off my beard. I cannot return to the Jin Kingdom within one or two years, otherwise I will be throwing myself into a trap."
At this point, Tao Yuanming paused: "What's more, Liu Yi doesn't know the relationship between me and Liu Tingyun so far. He is also a very smart person. If he knew that I had been manipulating his wife to manipulate Liu Yu,
Yes, my previous arrangements for many years have the risk of being in vain. After all, it is natural and understandable for the aristocratic families to oppose Liu Yu. However, if an ordinary nobleman like me opposes Liu Yu so firmly, he will not believe it.
Yes, if he gets to know about my idea of protecting the family, it’s hard to say whether he, a warrior, will help me or stand on Liu Yu’s side."
Yao Xing laughed: "But isn't this Liu Yi also good at both civil and military affairs, and he is regarded as one of the family members by the wealthy family? Your idea of protecting the family should be more to his liking."
Tao Yuanming sighed: "That's just an article Liu Yi made on the surface, or just his own thoughts. In the final analysis, he is still a military leader, and his foundation is still the soldiers and horses under his command and the willingness to follow him.
Brothers, why did no nobles think highly of him when he was the eldest brother of Jianghu in Jingkou? Now when he has a heavy army, he is regarded as a scholar? It's not that he suddenly became literate, but that he became powerful.
Now. His strength comes from those warriors. Liu Yu helped him do things he didn't dare to do. From the bottom of his heart, he would not resist it. After all, he himself benefited from this set of rules.
With today’s status, how dare you destroy the hope of your subordinates to rise to the top by relying on it.”
Yao Xing sighed: "A person's background cannot be changed. This is very true. So, Liu Yi and the aristocratic family are just superficially inseparable and will not cooperate sincerely?"
Tao Yuanming laughed: "Even Liu Tingyun looked down on Liu Yi, a country bumpkin deep down in her heart. She could only devote herself to him to save her life. Now Liu Yi wants to take advantage of the opportunity to seize Liu Yu's power through meritorious service, which requires meritorious service.
opportunity. Liu Yu was able to be promoted to the leading brother in the Beifu Army. To put it bluntly, it was because of his military exploits when he quelled the Sun En Rebellion. What we have to do is to give Liu Yi such an opportunity to achieve military exploits. Liu Yu will not give him
The Northern Expedition or the Western Expedition were opportunities to make meritorious deeds, and they also wanted to prevent Liu Yi from following his own old path. So Liu Yu was really worried, or the one who could really pose a threat to Liu Yu in Jin was Liu Yi."
Yao Xing laughed: "I understand what you mean. You want Sima Guofan to seduce the first wave of rebel forces in Jin. Then you go to unite Liu Tingyun, and she secretly recruits the big families behind.
Support these rebels, and then I will instruct Qiao Zong and Huan Qian to send troops from Jingzhou and Yizhou. In this way, Liu Yi and others will lead troops outside to quell the rebellion, but he will not really destroy the rebels.
It is about cultivating the invaders to respect themselves and continuously strengthening their own strength in the process of countering the rebellion. If Liu Yu fails to seize the fortified city in the front, the supply in the rear will be cut off, and even the strength of the old opponent will continue to grow. At this time, as long as I release the fortress again
Once news comes out that the army is rescuing Yan, Liu Yu is likely to be forced to retreat. Is this your whole plan?"
A light flashed in Tao Yuanming's eyes: "Yes, that's it. I can arrange the next two steps for the family and Liu Yi in Jin, but the most critical first step, which is to provoke a rebellion, must be done by Your Majesty. Huan Qian, Qiao
Together with Sima Guofan, the three rebel leaders, they are worth 200,000 troops in the Jin Kingdom. And your Majesty either supports or rescues them, or takes them in when they are in trouble. Only you can do it to make them go back and cause rebellion.
Got."
Yao Xing shook his head: "I'm afraid, sir, you still take it for granted. These three people are not as important as you think, and they are even less likely to take the initiative to raise troops. Sima Guofan is fleeing alone and violating military discipline. He is not like Sima Guofan.
Xiuzhi was forced to run away because Huan Xuan usurped and massacred the clan. I was afraid that no one would sympathize with him. Moreover, he fled to me, and he was a traitor who defected to a foreign country. I was afraid that even if he went back, no one would follow him.
Even if he doesn't do it right, his former subordinates will tie him up to take credit."
"As for Qiao Zong and Huan Qian, I'm afraid there is even less hope. The Shu people have always only wanted to be comfortable and unwilling to go out to Sichuan. Qiao Zong was able to rise to power and found the country because Mao wanted to send troops from Shu to attack Huan Xuan. There were a lot of troubles on the way.
The soldiers who did not want to leave Sichuan mutinied. In the past few years, I have repeatedly asked Qiao Zong to send troops to Jingzhou to cooperate with our Central Plains army of Great Qin to attack Jingzhou, but he obstructed it in every possible way and used various excuses to delay it. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to stay in peace.
, I don’t want to go out to fight in Sichuan. I can’t possibly send troops to destroy Qiao Zong first, and then force the Sichuan people to march eastward.”
