A trace of surprise flashed in Zhuque's eyes: "Why not? Once there is internal fighting in Jingzhou, wouldn't it be helpful for the Jin Dynasty to regain the control that Jingzhou has lost for many years?"
Xuanwu shook his head and said calmly: "Any group or force will unite as one when encountering external forces. Once the external forces withdraw, they will fight for power and gain. Not to mention the Huan family of Jingzhou, it is our Jin Dynasty. When the Qin army attacked some time ago,
, whether it is Jiankang Gaomen, Huan clan Jingzhou, even Tianshi Dao, Jingkou refugees, these forces with deep hatred and hatred can unite to fight against the enemy."
"But what now? The Qin army has just retreated, and everyone is fighting for it again. So the same is true for the Huan family. When Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao destroyed the Yuan family in Hebei, Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang fled to Liaodong Gongsun family. Cao Cao originally wanted to
Guo Jia, the counselor, said, "These two people are in trouble and have come to surrender. If I attack urgently, Gongsun will join forces with them to resist me. If I slow down my plan, Gongsun will suspect that they are taking over his country and will take the initiative to eliminate them."
As a result, Cao Cao accepted this proposal and withdrew his troops and entered the pass. As expected, Gongsun offered the heads of the two Yuans to seek peace. Everyone, you all understand what I said."
Qinglong said coldly: "Everyone knows this truth, but if we don't take the initiative to force the Huan family, for example, instead of sending a Jingzhou governor, we let Huan Xuan go back, or even give him the position of Jingzhou governor and let him follow
Wouldn't it be better if his two cousins fight among themselves?"
Xuanwu sighed and said solemnly: "Absolutely not. Huan Xuan is also a hero in the world. Even his uncle Huan Chong was afraid of his talent, alienated him for a long time and pushed him out of Jingzhou. What this man lacks is,
It is a piece of his foundation. If he is given the title of Jingzhou governor and returns to Jingzhou as the heir apparent of the Huan family, then Jingzhou will become his territory in less than two years. Of his two cousins, although one is good at fighting,
A man with both civil and military talents, but what he lacks is the title of heir apparent, and he cannot compete with him."
At this point, Xuanwu's eyes flashed coldly: "In addition, there is chaos in the north, and the Huan family is already sending troops to the Northern Expedition. Although it is impossible to take Guanzhong this time because Huan Chong is seriously ill, regaining Luoyang or even entering the Central Plains is not
Difficult matter. Huan Xuan bought Lu Zongzhi, a powerful figure in Guanzhong, for a large sum of money at the auction today. It seems that he has plans for Guanzhong. What we have to do now is to keep him as far away from Guanzhong as possible, and we must not let the tiger go back to the mountains!"
Baima said coldly: "Since Qinglong has seen that Huan Xuan has some real dragon energy in him before, why not just get rid of it to avoid future troubles forever?"
Qinglong shook his head: "I have said before that the true dragon's aura is destined by God, and we and other mortals cannot change it. If we kill him by force, we will only be angry with heaven, and when the time comes, another person with the true dragon's aura will be sent down.
, with the barbarians in the north, even if we want to protect the southern half of the Yangtze River, it will not be easy."
Zhuque smiled and said: "Isn't there still Liu Yu who is supporting me? What are you afraid of?"
Qinglong sneered and said: "If we want to kill Huan Xuan, we must also get rid of Liu Yu. Who can we rely on to protect the Jin Dynasty?"
Xuanwu waved his hand: "It's useless to talk more. Huanxuan cannot be killed, and he is cunning, so it is not easy to get rid of him. Liu Yu is a simple-minded son, and can be lured with righteousness, but Huanxuan will guard against everything, even himself."
A person who can kill his own uncle will not easily let someone kill him. This proposal is dismissed. However, Huan Xuan cannot be released to Jingzhou. It is best to give him a casual position to keep him away from important places. What do you think?
?”
Baima nodded: "Then let him be a false official in the capital, such as a regular attendant?"
Xuanwu shook his head: "Don't let him stay in Beijing. This son has now begun to lobby and make friends with many aristocratic families. He used to have private contacts with Yin Zhongkan, and now he has directly climbed into the top families like Wang Xun. If he continues to
If you let him stay in Beijing for a year and a half, I'm afraid he will become the third powerful force besides the Xie family and the Wang family. Even if he doesn't return to Jingzhou, it will be beyond our control."
Qinglong's eyes flashed coldly: "Then let him go to the land of Sanwu and give him a casual position like a county governor, or let him continue to be the governor of Yixing."
Xuanwu nodded with satisfaction: "That's very good. In order to prevent him from returning to Jingzhou, his two cousins will definitely give him a lot of money to meet his needs outside. If he uses this money to make friends with aristocratic families, it will be troublesome.
Yes, Yixing is too close to Jiankang. I think it is the safest way to let him go to places like Guangzhou and Jiangzhou, far away from Jiankang and not close to Jingzhou."
Suzaku nodded: "I second the proposal."
There was a trace of unwillingness in Baima's eyes, but he nodded: "Then I also second the proposal. Everyone, the last thing is the Northern Expedition. What do you think?"
Suzaku said without hesitation: "What is there to fight for? How can we miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Now the north is in chaos. According to our last agreement, we should advance together to regain the rivers and mountains. The Huan family was ordered to do so by Huan Chong.
Soon, if we can reach Luoyang, it will be considered a success. Let the Beifu Army do the rest."
Xuanwu looked at Suzaku motionless and said slowly: "Do you really think that the Northern Expedition can be accomplished overnight?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Zhuque's eyes: "Now that Qin is in civil strife, even Guanzhong is almost in danger. Who else can stop our army?"
Xuanwu sighed: "It is not difficult to seize the Central Plains and Henan, or to recover Bashu, but it is not easy to enter Guanzhong or cross the river to capture Yecheng."
Qinglong said coldly: "Is it just because of Murong Chui? I think it would be a good idea to make an all-out northern expedition to Hebei while he is not yet firmly established. If we wait for the Yan State to gain a firm foothold there, we can reach the Xianbei people outside the Great Wall to the north.
We can't even hold on to the land on the south bank of the Yellow River."
Xuanwu shook his head: "The land of Hebei has been lost since the Yongjia Rebellion. A large number of Hu people have moved in outside the Great Wall. The Huns have moved south to the Bingzhou area since the Cao Wei era and were divided into five tribes. The number of Hu people in these places is no more than that of the Han people.
Young Master, the hearts of the people are not against me. We are crossing the river to attack now. We are afraid that the hearts of the people will not be attached and it will not last long. Moreover, the most important point is that we will have to fight with Murong Chui now, in a place like Hebei that is conducive to the galloping of cavalry.
, what are the chances of winning? The Beifu Army is infantry after all. It has an advantage in the Jianghuai area. Can it be invincible even if it goes to Hebei?"
Zhuque raised his brows and looked at Xuanwu: "What's wrong with you today? In the past, you had always had full confidence in the Beifu Army. You even said that Liu Yu was the man sent by God to deal with the Northern Cavalry. Why did you destroy your ambition today and inflate others?"
The majesty?”
Xuanwu sighed: "It is destiny, not human power. If you want to plan for Hebei, I'm afraid you have to wait until after Murong Chui's death. After all, he is also a person with dragon spirit, Qinglong, right."
