Liu Tingyun laughed: "Good guy, don't you need much more? Five hundred thousand stones of food and grass, tens of thousands of civilians. When Xie An established the Beifu Army, these aristocratic families could only contribute so much, and neither have you these years.
I don’t know, the strength of the Wu Di family has weakened a lot, and Liu Yufayan forced them to shed a lot of blood. Now that Nanyan is not destroyed, they haven’t received the benefits yet, so you are going to give them again.
If they let go of blood once, I'm afraid no one will follow."
At this point, she curled up her lips: "Also, can you really decide on your own about such a major event as the Northern Expedition? Although Liu Yu entrusted the rear to you, he didn't give you the ability to decide on your own.
Daquan, the army is on an expedition, and victory is in sight. Now you have to raise troops for another Northern Expedition. This is probably something the country cannot bear, and other governors and generals may not be willing to cooperate."
Liu Yi sneered and said: "So I need to unite with Lu Zong to defeat Sima Guofan. I only need the local troops in Yuzhou. But if I take the opportunity to invade the Central Plains and capture Luoyang of the Later Qin Dynasty, I must be prepared to follow the Qin Guanzhong reinforcements."
The preparations for the war even had to take into account the intervention of the Northern Wei Dynasty. After all, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Yan Dynasty were mortal enemies. Liu Yu did not have to worry about the Northern Wei Dynasty sending troops to rescue the Yan Dynasty. However, the Later Qin Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty had no grudges. After the Battle of Chaibi, the two countries
They also shook hands and made peace, restored old friendships, and even Yao Xing's daughter married Tuoba Si as his queen. If the Later Qin Dynasty fights with me and the Northern Wei Dynasty sends troops to help, there may be big trouble."
Liu Tingyun shook her head: "If the Northern Wei Dynasty really sends troops, it may not be something Lu Zong can handle. It may even require help from Liu Yu's main army."
Liu Yi shook his head: "If Liu Yu is relieved, then the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains will be ruined. He will never let me occupy this great achievement. He will definitely use the excuse of me to engage in war to seize this commander-in-chief position. It will be useless."
Ji is afraid that he will not be on my side, and after Liu Yu destroys Nanyan, his prestige will reach a new height. Now, in addition to our three giants, the governors of the major states in Jingzhou are his younger brothers Liu Daogui, who conquered Nanyan
In the end, the governor of Qingzhou will probably give it to Ah Shou. In this case, the three giants will become the fifth eldest brother, and four of them are his people, so how can I fight with him? "
Liu Tingyun frowned: "So, you must organize a Northern Expedition yourself before Liu Yu attacks Nan Yan and achieve great success, so that you can continue to compete with him in the future?"
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "I now suspect that convicting Sima Guofan and then letting him escape and defect to the Later Qin was probably a strategy arranged by Liu Yu to deliberately let the Later Qin accept my traitor from the Jin Dynasty.
Only in this way can we have a reason to raise troops. After defeating Southern Yan, we can use our victorious troops to attack Later Qin. Anyway, now Qin has too much time to take care of itself, and Liu Bobo's Hu Xia are in a state of embarrassment. If Liu Yu really wants to destroy the Yan army, he will
Attacking Qin will naturally be smooth sailing. Even if Guanzhong cannot be invaded at once, at least all the Central Plains will be captured, so there will be no big problem."
"At that time, I, the governor of Yuzhou, will be firmly surrounded in the interior and no longer a border gate. This is a great thing for the children of the aristocratic family, but for me, a general who needs military merit, it is equivalent to letting me
Disband your armor and return to your fields in advance, and enjoy your wealth in peace!"
Liu Tingyun laughed: "Your analysis makes sense. Sima Guofan performed poorly in the Linqu Battle before. He had no military merit, but he killed good people and took credit for himself because he was eager to gain credit. In fact, this was not the case in the previous Beifu Army.
Liu Laozhi often did no big deal, but Liu Yu and Wang Miaoyin, this bitch, made a fuss out of a molehill. They directly said that Sima Guofan was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and took him down. Do you think that if he was convicted of this crime?
After they were captured, they must be strictly guarded and interrogated day and night, but they let Sima Guofan escape. Wang Miaoyin and Liu Muzhi are both top-notch spies. If Sima Guofan could escape like this,
Even if you beat him to death, I won’t believe it, unless it’s like you said, letting him go on purpose!”
A fierce light flashed in Liu Yi's eyes: "This Liu Yu, I have been familiar with him since childhood. Underneath his majestic and heroic appearance, he is very deep and very good at taking advantage of people's hearts. I'm afraid he has already kept some secrets."
In addition to Sima's thoughts, this time he deliberately took Sima Guofan with him to make him commit a crime and then flee to the Later Qin Dynasty. This not only gave him an excuse to attack the Later Qin Dynasty, but also put everyone in the Sima clan in danger, which may lead to a crisis.
A large number of defections have occurred, and now Sima Chuzhi, Sima Shufan and others have fled one after another and defected to Sima Guofan. This is probably the result Liu Yu wants!"
Liu Tingyun said sternly: "Yes, Liu Yu wants to take power and do what Huan Chu did to replace Jin, but he knows that he cannot repeat the failure of Huan Xuan. He did not fully grasp the power of the world and did not gain the sincere submission of the great families.
In the future, we must knock down the banner of the Sima clan. Among the kings of the Sima clan, most of them are independent of the world and just want to be rich. A few are Sima Guofan. Sima Chuzhi is still
People who want to make great achievements, but as long as they find opportunities to find evidence of crime and get rid of the best of these clan princes, then the Sima family will have no leader that can be used. After thinking about it, there is only one Qiao Prince, Sima Xiuzhi...
………”
Having said this, Liu Tingyun stopped her mouth and glanced at Liu Yi.
Liu Yi said thoughtfully: "Yes, apart from the two emperor brothers, among the Sima clan, Prince Qiao is the oldest and the most capable. After all, he has really led troops to fight.
He once served as the governor of Dazhou, and also fled to Nanyan with Liu Jingxuan. It turned out that after the Sima Dezong brothers came to power, they intended to support the Sima clan to take charge of various major states, and Sima Xiuzhi was also appointed as the governor of Jingzhou for a time.
It's just that he had no soldiers or generals and was guarding Jiangling alone. How could he withstand Huan Zhen's troops and horses? I didn't want Sima to ride on the heads of us Western Expedition generals, so I deliberately didn't save him and let him lose.
Later, it was thanks to you that you traveled among the gentry and aristocratic families, contacted Yu Xiao’s father and other powerful families in Wu to intercede for him, and he was allowed to retain his official position and be transferred to Kuaiji Internal History. So, you had this ability at that time
What’s on your mind?”
Liu Tingyun smiled slightly: "No matter how unbearable the Sima family is, it is the big families who can always push to the front to fight against the banner of powerful ministers and generals. Sima Xiuzhi is much older than Sima Guofan, and he has always liked
He has become acquainted with aristocratic families, and he is considered to be half a famous person. He is quite similar to Sima Yu, the Jian Wen Emperor who finally ascended the throne. With the support of Wang Xie and other aristocratic families, Sima Yu withstood the pressure of Huan Wen and retained the Sima family's throne.
, to ruin Huan Wen's plan to usurp the throne, I just want Sima Xiuzhi to have a chance to become Sima Yu's second, maybe you will need him when you have to deal with Liu Yu in the future."
