Xi Sengshi sighed: "Shu Yuan, are you taking it too much for granted? It is impossible for Liu Yu to let Liu Yi really escape Jiankang at this time. It would be tantamount to giving up half of the city's defense.
If Liu Yi wants to withdraw, and the demon thief's warship has already arrived outside the city, it is impossible for Liu Yu to withdraw to the north of the Yangtze River with his more than 20,000 troops. Even if Liu Yi wants to withdraw, if he takes hundreds of officials and Sima Dewen and leaves like this,
Just like when Sima Yue fled Luoyang, the people's hearts immediately dispersed. The enemy only needs to send light soldiers or cavalry to follow them without fighting, and they will collapse. I'm afraid we won't even be able to reach Wu."
Xie Hun smiled slightly: "Isn't Jiankang City supported by Liu Yu? What are you afraid of? Besides, I don't want Liu Yi to evacuate with all the more than 10,000 people. I only need to bring 3 to 5,000 people. With these troops,
It's not as if half of the city's defenses were taken away at once. Just like Sima Rui, when he left Luoyang to recruit troops in the south of the Yangtze River, it didn't affect Sima Yue's army."
Xi Sengshi's eyes widened: "Leaving with only three to five thousand people? What can these few people do? How can we form a separatist and self-reliant situation after arriving in Wu?"
Xie Hun laughed: "The land of Sanwu has recovered well in the past few years. Although it is not as good as the heyday before Sun En's Rebellion, it is much better than the period before and after Huanxuan's Rebellion. The household registration is also fifty
There are tens of thousands of households, and the number of hidden households is even more than this. As long as we can return to Wudi and recruit troops in the name of King Qin, we can raise a team of at least 50,000 people in less than two months.
.”
Xi Sengshi curled his lips and said, "I'm afraid it won't be that easy. At least our two families can't mobilize so many troops now."
A fierce light flashed in Xie Hun's eyes: "Who said it's just our two families? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. When the country is in crisis, everyone joins the army. With Liu Yi's five thousand troops, they will be ordered by the emperor to arrive separately.
We go to various manors to recruit soldiers to join the army. If anyone dares to disobey, he will be punished as conspiring with the demon thieves. Well, first of all, I went to raid several villages of Liu Tingyun's family to establish a prestige and see if there are still people who dare to disobey!"
Xi Sengshi murmured: "Aren't you afraid of falling out with other aristocratic families in the city and not being able to get along with each other in the future?"
Xie Hun sneered and said: "How can we do big things if we are worried about this? If the aristocratic families in the city are willing to go with us and go back to Wudi to recruit troops, let's go together and let them go back to recruit troops and join us. If they stay in the city,
Or for those who cannot come back, such as the Liu family and the Yu family, we first took the imperial order to recruit soldiers and forcibly recruited the young people in their estates. We will do what the Yuan Emperor did when he went south."
Xi Sengshi laughed: "I understand, in the name of King Qin, we are actually collecting and controlling the estates of these families. If Jiankang really falls, we can even establish a new king, and then these people who were collected during the war
The land belongs to us, right?"
Xie Hun laughed: "Huituo, you finally understand. In normal times, we wouldn't have the name and excuse to form an army by ourselves, but now, it's a good opportunity given to us by God. Liu Yi is a martial artist, but he doesn't know how to form his own army."
To deal with the noble family, we need him to fight the war. We need him to be the villain and lead the troops to conquer Ding Laf. But in the end, the benefits we got, such as the control of these manors, were given to us. After the war, Liu
Yi definitely wants to hold the military power again and carry out his great cause of the Northern Expedition. We will give him soldiers and let him fight. However, the control of Wu Land belongs to us. If we want to make Liu Yi obedient, it will be a big deal for us.
It's just Liu Tingyun. No matter how many soldiers he has, how many days can he hold on without food, grass and supplies?"
Xi Sengshi nodded with a smile and said: "Gao, it's really Gao, Shuyuan, I really admire you today. You can actually take advantage of such a critical situation and create an opportunity to restore the power of our family. It's just that
………”
At this point, he frowned: "The first thing is that you are not the head of the Xie family. Does Xie Fu agree to doing this? Will there be any variables when Queen Wang comes back? The second thing is
, we have to be famous to do this, and this requires the cooperation of the prince of the Sima clan, but if this person is also ambitious and wants to lead the army by himself, what should we do?"
Xie Hun frowned slightly: "Sima Rui couldn't recruit his own troops back then, so he had to rely on Director Wang. Therefore, the Sima family has been without power since they moved south."
Xi Sengshi asked back: "But didn't Sima Rui later want to get involved in the military power and no longer be a puppet emperor? First he wanted to seize the troops of the Wang Dao, and then he wanted to seize the troops of the refugee commander. He took them back and forth, and took away the king.
Dun's Rebellion and Su Jun's Rebellion, although they were suppressed by the Black Hand Qiankun in the end, they still turned a good situation and turned hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers into civil war. Sima Dezong is a useless man
, it can be controlled, but Sima Dewen is a normal person, even if you can really bring him to Wu Di, how will you control him in the future?"
Xie Hun's eyes sparkled and he fell into deep thought.
Xi Sengshi continued: "Moreover, Sima Dewen is the closest to the current emperor, much closer than Sima Rui was to the emperor back then. Once Jiankang falls, Sima Dezong will be captured or die.
, then Sima Dewen is the first heir to the throne. Even if Liu Yu needs reinforcements from Sanwu, he will never let you take Sima Dewen away. I am afraid that even if you want to realize this plan, you will have to find someone else."
Xie Hun gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "I have a second candidate here. That is Sima Yuanxian's posthumous son, Sima Xiuxi!"
Xi Sengshi took a breath of air: "What? What kind of posthumous son? Didn't Sima Yuanxian kill Huan Xuan's entire family? All the sons were killed. Now a new one appeared out of nowhere.
?”
Xie Hun sneered and said: "Back then, Sima Yuanxian's family was captured by Huan Xuan because of Liu Laozhi's surrender, but he had an outhouse outside, and he had a posthumous son when he was defeated. This outhouse was the daughter of the chief of the Di tribe.
After Sima Yuanxian's defeat, the woman fled back to the tribe and gave birth to a son named Sima Xiuxi. Sima Yuanxian gave her this name when she was pregnant, gave her a token, and informed Sima Yuanxian's biological mother.
Sima Daozi’s princess, Wang Guobao’s sister Wang. And this Princess of Kuaiji brought this Sima Xiuxi to find me!”
Xi Sengshi murmured: "Is she the Queen of Kuaiji? She was also a famous noblewoman in the capital at that time. Later, Wang Guobao and Sima Daozi and his son were defeated one after another, and they could not live in seclusion. You are actually still with her?
