Chapter 3371 The Northern Wei Dynasty left no military power
Gongsun Wulou said coldly: "My ideas are all made after careful consideration, not a whim. You are also the one who leads the army. You should know that in any battle, you don't think about winning, but think about defeat first. I must do a good job
Only by having more than one choice can we ensure a way out. Only then can we ensure a way out for you people, do you understand?"
Gongsun Liuxiu gritted his teeth: "But now the Jin army is our number one enemy. From Linqu to Guanggu this time, countless of our relatives and friends died at their hands, and these soldiers with armor and cavalry are even more closely related to the Jin army."
The military feud is as deep as the sea, and reconciliation is impossible. I would rather die in battle than surrender to the enemy. Fifth brother, when you consider your retreat, you must also consider the people's hearts and feelings. You can leave behind thirty-seven beautiful wives and concubines.
Don't take it seriously, but ordinary soldiers cannot be as free and easy as you."
Gongsun Wulou said solemnly: "Because of the factors of people's hearts, we cannot surrender to Liu Yu. If the Northern Wei Dynasty blocks the way and cannot open up the connection with the Later Qin Dynasty, what will you choose then? Will you surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
?”
Gongsun Liuxiu curled up his lips: "Even if you surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is better than surrendering to the Jin State. If you really have to choose among the generals, I would rather surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty."
Gongsun Wulou sneered: "So you are only worthy of being driven and manipulated by others, because you have no brains and do not know the stakes. Who are the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty? Tell me?"
Gongsun Liuxiu said solemnly: "Aren't they just barbarians brought by Tuoba clan from the grassland? They are not man-eating monsters with three heads and six arms. Why can't we cooperate with them?"
Gongsun Wulou said coldly: "Of course not. The Northern Wei Dynasty is different from the Jin Kingdom and the Later Qin Dynasty. They are from the grasslands, and their military system is different from that of the Central Plains. They will not allow this kind of thing where soldiers are generals. Really?
If you surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty, you really have to hand over all your troops and horses and let them be slaughtered. Among other things, the Helan tribe is an old grassland tribe that started the army with Tuoba Si, and Helan Lu is that
Tuoba Si's uncle, but even with such a relationship, he was forced to rebel, why?"
Gongsun Liuxiu's eyes lit up: "Because the Tuoba clan wants to annex the Helan tribe's army?"
Gongsun Wulou nodded: "That's it. Tuoba Si will not allow each tribe to continue to retain its own army and become the kind of force that may rebel at any time and is not controlled by itself. Therefore, during the Niuchuan Conference, when establishing the empire
An order was issued that all ministries must provide troops and be under the direct jurisdiction of the Northern Wei court. Tribal leaders and children of nobles must be gathered in Pingcheng in the name of learning culture, acting like hostages. In addition, Northern Wei officials must be placed in the tribes.
Directly governing and intervening in the internal affairs of these tribes, do you think this kind of governance is any different from setting up prefectures and counties in the Central Plains and setting up military conscription?"
Gongsun Liuxiu murmured: "No wonder the Helan tribe wants to rebel. If they do this, they are no longer allies and partners, but directly ministers. But if we defect to the past, they will also seize our troops from the Northern Wei Dynasty.
? According to your statement, it seems that not all the tribes’ soldiers and horses were deprived of their troops, but only some of the elite soldiers.”
Gongsun Wulou sneered: "Those tribesmen at least raised troops with the Northern Wei Dynasty. They are our own people. Who are we? If we really surrender, we will be nothing more than a desperate dog who surrendered. They can't let us continue to retain the army.
Just like the armed forces of these powerful Han people in Hebei are not allowed to be retained now, I would rather return to Guanggu than join the Northern Wei Dynasty. This choice is a choice that I don’t even have to think about!"
Gongsun Liuxiu said thoughtfully: "So, if the Northern Wei Dynasty cuts off our contact with the Later Qin Dynasty, you are going to defect to Liu Yi?"
Gongsun Wulou nodded: "The Northern Wei Dynasty has not attacked Nanyan in recent years. Firstly, it is because they are also in the period of national mourning and cannot send out large troops. Secondly, because Helanlu has been guarding the northern border, leaving the Wei army no opportunity to take advantage of it, and even
In turn, it disturbed the peace of Hebei in Wei State, so that before Tuoba Si died, he had to massacre the entire Qinghe County to establish his authority. The third reason was also because of the ongoing civil strife in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and almost all the tribes in Mobei rebelled. I heard that
There is also a tribe named Rouran who has become a climate, and has vague ambitions to follow the old path of Tuoba Si and establish the Mobei Khanate... Therefore, the Northern Wei Dynasty is now defending from the south and attacking from the north, seeking stability in the south, and concentrating its troops on the desert
Conquer the rebellion."
"If we go to the Northern Wei Dynasty at this time, we will become a big trouble for them. The Tuoba Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty is not a guy like Yao Xing who loves success. He likes to recruit rebel generals to protect the vassal. They must either obey my orders or destroy them on the spot. We
If we don't surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty, we will be regarded as enemies by them and will definitely take the initiative to eliminate them, so we must find another backer."
Gongsun Liuxiu frowned: "Can't we go to Hou Qin? Why do we have to go to Liu Yi's Jin army?"
Gongsun Wulou said angrily: "If I can win the Later Qin Dynasty, do I still need to make this choice? Isn't this just a move by the Northern Wei Dynasty to cut off our connection with the Later Qin Dynasty? In this case, the follow-up choice must be
Otherwise, the Northern Wei Dynasty would not let us occupy northwest Shandong and ignore it."
Gongsun Liuxiu gritted his teeth: "But can Liu Yi allow us to exist? Not to mention that he is a Jin army and our enemy. Even as a Jin general, he is unlikely to allow us to continue to control the territory.
Let’s have soldiers and horses.”
Gongsun Wulou smiled slightly: "Of course I can't replace Liu Yu, but Liu Yi, his method of leading troops is different from Liu Yu. He does not have the ability to recruit national troops and mobilize all the elite soldiers of the Jin Dynasty like Liu Yu.
However, with the land of a state, the support of many aristocratic families in Jiankang City, and a lot of money and food, he can bribe many stragglers and warriors in troubled times. As long as he is willing to fight for him, no one will come.
Even if there were many military leaders and thieves who came with hundreds or thousands of troops to defect, he would just give them the title of military leader and carve out a territory for them to separate themselves and stand on their own."
Gongsun Liuxiu opened his eyes wide: "Is this okay?"
Gongsun Wulou sneered: "General Zu Ti of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also used this trick when he went on the Northern Expedition. This was an expedient way to make up for the lack of military strength in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Anyway, when you expand outward, these territories and armies are not your own. You need to add them first.
To win over and then slowly annex later, this is what warlords like Liu Yi do in troubled times. If Yao Xing protects us out of hypocrisy and great success, this is Liu Yi's ambition to recruit troops. We are useful to him, especially
These two thousand armored cavalry are what he wants, so he will definitely take us in!"
