Chapter 5328 Chasing the traitors and the postwar Qin Dynasty
Doupeng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, Sima Guofan is a treasonous criminal wanted by the Jin State, and together with Sima Chuzhi and others, with the support of money and food from the Later Qin Dynasty, he gathered many people within the Jin State.
Gangyang thieves, stragglers, established an army of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, specifically to attack the border counties in the northwest of Jin and Henan. They hid in the mountains and forests, and used the Changshe area as their stronghold to seize power under the guise of Liu Yu.
, under the banner of killing the Sima clan, and asking the loyal ministers of the Sima clan in the Jin Kingdom to defect to them. They said that Liu Yu was the real traitor."
"And those high-ranking families who disliked Liu Yu were also secretly communicating with Sima Guofan, and even asked some of their servants, village leaders, and subordinates to change their names and join Sima Guofan's group. These people
With military capabilities, some stragglers and gangsters can be organized and trained. With the grain, grass and ordnance provided by Hou Qin, their combat effectiveness is much stronger than ordinary bandits."
"And these people have internal spies. The nobles of the Jin family who secretly communicated with Sima Guofan not only provided manpower and material support, but also intelligence support. The deployment of the Jin army in northwest Henan, the defense situation of the city, Sima Guofan
They were all very clear, and some counties were even attacked directly by internal forces. Although the scale of these attacks was not large, they also caused Liu Yu and Liu Yi to lose face. If they could not be resolved after a long period of delay, it would affect the majesty of their rule.
It is influential. In the past, because we were surrounded by enemies, we had no time to pay attention to Sima Guofan and his gang. Now Lu Zongzhi's son, Lu Gui, led his troops to expel Sima Guofan, and then occupied the city in the name of preventing Sima Guofan and others from coming back.
If we refuse to take over the territory of Changshe and five other counties, it is tantamount to grabbing a piece of territory from Yuzhou and becoming independent."
Kumarajiva's white eyebrows raised: "What's going on? Why did Lu Zongzhi of Yongzhou send his son to seize the territory of Yuzhou? Is he really not afraid of Liu Yi's revenge?"
Doupeng laughed: "You don't know something, great monk. Lu Gui, the son born by Lu Zongzhi and his ex-wife, is exactly like Lu Zongzhi himself, brave and good at fighting, but now he is young and strong, and Lu Zongzhi is old, but
He was a little afraid that Lu Gui would take his place. In addition, Lu Zong's new wife gave birth to a younger son for him. The child was smart and liked reading and writing since he was a child. Instead, Lu Zong wanted this younger son to take over.
Yongzhou has already begun to exclude Lu Gui."
"When Tao Yuanming took refuge in or took advantage of Yu Yue, he had already taken Luo Longsheng, a powerful general, from Lu Gui's men, including hundreds of cavalry under his command. These were the elites of the Yongzhou army. Lu Gui was willing to do this
The release must have been some kind of deal with Tao Yuanming, so that he could take the opportunity to become independent from his father. Presumably, the territory of those five counties, including the food, grass and ordnance for thousands of people under Lu Gui's command, were all allocated by Tao Yuanming from Yu Yue.
Those who have gone out, and Lu Gui, may also be classified as Yu Yue's subordinates in the future."
Kumarajiva shook his head in disbelief and said, "Is Lu Gui crazy? No matter how hard he displeases his father, the worst he can do is hand over the army and go home to be a good son. Why would he come out to stand on his own feet like this? A father doesn't even want to
How can someone else reuse the son you want?"
Doupeng sneered and said: "I'm afraid that Lu Gui is at a disadvantage in the battle to seize the throne. If he returns to Yongzhou at this time, he will not only simply lose his military power, but his life will also be in danger. This is their family matter, and I don't want to
Please pay attention, but according to the information you got, do Sima Guofan and others also have contact with Lu Gui?"
Kumarajiva said calmly: "I don't care about such specific military and state affairs, and I have always told Yao Xing that Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi were taken in to save their lives.
Absolutely, but if they are allowed to develop freely, it will not be a blessing to the Qin Dynasty. When Huan Qian came to seek refuge in the past, I said this, saying that Huan Qian just came to seek refuge at the end of his rope, and it would be best to let him go to Longyou as a
Just a small landowner will do. Once he is allowed to return to Jingzhou, if he wins, he will occupy Jingzhou and stand alongside us. If he does not follow our orders, if he loses, he will lose his life. No matter what the outcome is, it will be of no benefit to Da Qin."
"Later, Huan Qian was defeated and died, but just before his defeat, he also drove away Gou Lin early. This was a direct manifestation of his desire to get rid of the control of Da Qin. With this lesson, I also feel sorry for Sima Guofan.
I'm not optimistic about it. People from the Sima family are always ambitious and repay kindness with hatred. If it weren't for the Buddha's good nature and compassionate heart, I wouldn't want to take in such a person, so I don't know anything about Sima Guofan's subsequent affairs."
Doupeng laughed: "Yao Xing's rice is not for free, and his protection is not for free. He must do something for him. Sima Guofan's petty fight is just to disgust Liu Yu.
, it is not ruled out that when making peace with the Jin State in the future, Sima Guofan will be handed over. However, now that Lu Gui has occupied Changshe, there must be some secret connection with Sima Guofan who has retreated into the Qin State, but I
It’s not clear here. Even if there is a connection, I’m afraid it’s the black robe who is manipulating these things. After all, these two people are related to him. I have to ask my companion to find out.”
Kumarajiva breathed a long sigh of relief, and Bai Xu Wufeng said automatically: "But now, whether it is to take back the land in northwest Henan, to control Lu Zongzhi in Yongzhou, or to find an excuse to start a war with Great Qin, this Sima
Guofan will become the reason for Liu Yu and Liu Yi to send troops. According to what you just said, Liu Yi may take his subordinates who have not fought in the battle of Tianshi Dao and drive straight into the territory of Daqin in the name of pursuing Sima Guofan to fight with
Da Qin has started a war, and our war with Hu Xia is not over yet. Even if we want to fight the Jin army, we have to wait until Hu Xia sends troops to Liangzhou as you said, so what do you think we should do now?"
Doupeng said solemnly: "Then can you really convince Yao Xing to target Hu Xia and make Huiyuan a pawn against Liu Yu in Lingnan?"
Kumarajiva nodded: "I think, after today's frank dialogue, we should be able to reach a consensus. Liu Yu is a strong enemy for you and me that must be defeated. If you can't stop him here, sooner or later our Great Qin will be defeated."
It will also be unfortunate. I am willing to cooperate with you. However, you must also promise me that for the sake of the common people and for my private thoughts of accumulating merit and cultivating Buddhahood, you must never use the help of heavenly masters like before.
You slaughter all living beings with the hands of Tao and bring harm to the world, just for your little spiritual power and magic." (End of this chapter)
