Murong Nan looked at Liu Yu and sighed softly: "Although since ancient times, the law of the jungle has prevailed, and ordinary people will only succumb to powerful force, but if this powerful force cannot guarantee the basic survival of the people, it will not be sustainable.
Ran Min himself was just an ambitious butcher with no talent for governing the country. He would use anyone who supported him in becoming emperor, and he would kill anyone who hindered him from becoming emperor. In this regard, there was no difference between Han and Hu people.
.”
Liu Yu sighed and said seriously: "Yes, after he issued the order to kill Hu people and be promoted to official positions, he relied on the help of the Han people to massacre hundreds of thousands of Jiehu people and successfully ascended the throne as emperor. But after he ascended the throne,
He also made his son a great chanyu and asked him to lead the surrendered Hu soldiers, just because these Hu people had fighting ability and could help him. When he first had a strong army in the Jin Dynasty, he was dismissive of it.
Later, when he was about to perish, he begged for help. When I was little educated, I thought he was the hero of our Han people and the savior of the nation. But later, after reading more history books, I realized that this man was more evil than Jie and Zhao, and his destruction was inevitable.
.”
Murong Nan smiled and said: "That's the truth. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Why is Ran Min, as a Han Chinese, abandoned by his compatriots? It's because he can't let people live, can't organize people's production, and food is the most important thing for the people.
, will starve to death without eating or drinking, and whoever can give him food at this time will be supported by them."
"Our Murong family was aware of this, so when we went south, we not only brought a large army, but also brought grain, cattle and sheep that had been stored in Liaodong for many years. It can be said that we almost moved the whole family south. When we came, we did not consider going back.
You said, we have seized such a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, and the people in the north regarded us as their saviors at that time. After we eliminate Ran Min, is it possible for us to continue to submit to the Eastern Jin Dynasty as a minister of the Jin Dynasty?"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Ran Min is unruly, but that doesn't mean that our Jin Dynasty will be like this. Our Jin Dynasty didn't do nothing at that time. Instead, we carried out two northern expeditions by Yin Hao and Huan Wen, just to save the people in the north from the fire. How can you say that we didn't do anything?
What are you doing?"
Murong Nan laughed: "Come on, Liu Yu, I'm not one of my subordinates who can't even speak Chinese well. I know your history very well. The one who can stop you from the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Expedition is not us in the north.
Hu Qi, but one of your own!"
Liu Yu sighed and closed his eyes in pain, but Murong Nan's cold voice came to his ears: "Yin Hao's Northern Expedition was because he wanted to do it before Huan Wen, so that his young friend would not rely on the Northern Expedition to make contributions and further strengthen his own power.
Because of the haste of the incident, the imperial court in the Jiankang area did not have strong offensive forces for many years, so Yin Hao had no soldiers to use and could only use the Qiang Yao Xiang's foreign soldiers and horses as the vanguard.
But because of the arrogance of him and his men, they forced Yao Xiang to rebel, causing the best opportunity to be missed."
"When Yin Hao stepped down, Huan Wen took over the power alone and launched another northern expedition. However, by this time we, Dayan, had stabilized the north. Both the Han and Hu people in the north were grateful for our help in survival and sincerely obeyed. Therefore, Huan Wen defeated
After the Yellow River, we can no longer move forward."
"In addition, you are fighting for power within the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the high-ranking families in Jiankang City are secretly restricting Huan Wen. Although I don't know what they did specifically, I heard from the King of Wu that Huan Wen, who was against him back then, did not have a direct confrontation.
He suffered a loss and was forced to retreat because he ran out of food, giving him the opportunity to pursue a thousand-mile pursuit. Afterwards, Huan Wen put the responsibility on Yuan Zhen, the former Shouchun guard general and Yuzhou governor, and wiped him out in anger, but Yuan Zhenjue
If you don't have the courage and motivation to do such a thing, the only people who can cause problems for Huan Wen's military and food supply are your high-ranking families."
Liu Yu's eyes widened and he said sternly: "That's enough, this is just your guess without any solid evidence. Even if our Jin Dynasty is like this, how good is your Murong family of Yan State? Murong is the pillar of the country and is like the Great Wall.
If you are forced to invade the enemy's country and finally destroy it, I think you are more powerful than us in this kind of internal strife."
Murong Nan bit his lips tightly. The proud look on his face when he just mocked Liu Yu was gone. He sighed and said, "We don't have to laugh at fifty steps. What I want to say is just
Let me tell you, what the people in the north want, when Ran Min cannot let the northerners survive, they will naturally turn against him. More than ten years later, when the civil strife in our Yan country makes it difficult for the people to survive, they will turn to Qin. So. So.
He said that in order to bring peace to the world, it is not enough to win the war alone. What is important is whether the people's livelihood can be stably guaranteed after the war. This is what you Han people call peace of the world!"
Liu Yu nodded: "You are right. It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to level it. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu at that time, was almost undefeated in his life. He only lost the final battle in Gaixia because he was cruel, unkind and professional.
The people hated the Han king Liu Bang, so Liu Bang was defeated repeatedly but could quickly recover his strength and finally won. I understand what you mean now. You are saying that although Huan Wen seemed to have a strong military back then, even
Wang Tanzhi and the Xie family can be killed easily, but after all, his power is limited to Jingzhou, and has no roots in the Sanwu area and Lianghuai area, as well as Lingnan and Shu areas. If he wants to usurp the throne, these places will inevitably
Will rebel."
Murong Nan smiled slightly: "You are a smart man, I don't need to explain this truth, it is clear in one point. If he wants to control such a large territory and such a large population, he must have at least hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if he has such a
If he has a large army, then his military food consumption is also huge. Over the past hundred years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, although the most powerful family has always been in charge, and then took turns in power, after all, there is the emperor as the co-owner. Once you throw away the emperor
With this co-owner, all the aristocratic families will unite against Huan Wen. They seem to have no army in their hands, but Wu and Lianghuai are full of manors and fields for the aristocratic families like them, and they can organize tenant farmers and customers to fight at any time."
"Even if Xie An and Wang Tanzhi are to be executed, there are dozens or hundreds of branch families of Wang Xie's family spread all over the country. They can even lure the Hu troops from the north to go south. Huan Wen is not sure of victory. Once the Hu
If people intervene, it is very likely that everyone will end up working together, and everyone will be a loser."
Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief: "It turns out that the truth about Huan Wen not forcing his way to the throne is here. I have learned from it. Murong Nan, I want to ask you, if you were me, would you support the Huan family or join a high-ranking family like the Xie family?
