Chapter 322: Temptation (1)

Updated: 2013-02-23

"Your Majesty, you have confirmed that Jiang Boyue is sick in bed, and Liu Chan's old man is not in the Central Plains. This is a good opportunity for me to regain the Central Plains!!" After receiving the news, King Sima Yicheng of Hanoi came from Hanoi overnight. Although he was struggling, he still looked excited.

Emperor Jin Sima Youchou turned around and said, "I will not hide it from my uncle. I have also received such news, and I have also heard that the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains meant peace."

King Sima Yiqiang of Hanoi had his own eyes, and Sima You was even more informed as the king of a country. He knew that King Sima Yiqiang of Hanoi came from his garrison overnight not to inform him of the news, but to persuade him to send troops to fight south. Therefore, Sima You was so sad that he was striking and striking indirectly.

After all, he took office because of the secret efforts of King Sima Yiqiang of Hanoi. If Sima Yiqiang had not done a lot of painstaking planning and maintenance, how could the Sima family remain unchanged after Sima Yan was accidentally killed without any fluctuations?

This old man did not show off his dew during the Sima Zhao period, and he was full of sharpness. He seemed to be a general among the Sima brothers, but in fact he had other general plans.

"Oh? Does Your Majesty mean to be at peace?" Sima Yichang came all the way and found out the situation in the court. Seeing that Emperor Jin Sima You had such a look, the King of Hanoi's face darkened and unhappy expression did not hide it!

Looking at the court, the Hanoi King had the capital and ability to keep his expression in front of Emperor Jin. Emperor Jin was unhappy and dared not express it in the slightest. He knew how great the Hanoi King was. Even if his brothers were named as kings and one side, as long as the interests were won over, they would not necessarily stand on his own side.

The medieval families in the dynasty all had interests in the Sima family, and Sima You still controlled the Sima family, which was not as good as the King of Hanoi!

"The ministers in the court all have their own opinions. I have not made any decision yet. Uncle Wang may as well teach me what he sees." Emperor Jin Sima You raised his eyebrows, regained his expression, and looked at the King of Henoi with some expectations.

Seeing that His Majesty looked at him with expectant eyes, the expression of King Sima Yichang of Hanoi also regained its freedom, and the anger in his heart disappeared. When Sima Yichang was in power, he naturally took a great risk. The purpose was to prepare for it when he saw that Sima Yan was not enough to establish the world.

After Sima Yan encountered an accident, it was precisely because of the careful arrangement of the King of Hanoi that the foundation of Jin was continued in a calm manner. After the founding of the country, the major families and the Sima family naturally praised the King of Hanoi Sima Yiqiang and regarded him as a god.

"The Han people have always been strong and have many tricks. If they fail to seek peace in the previous period, they were attacked instead! The recapture of the Central Plains and defending the Great Jin relies on the strong and powerful military power of the Great Jin, not the Han people with ulterior motives. You must see this clearly, Your Majesty!" King Sima Yi, the King of Hanoi, was able to keep a low profile and accumulate strength. He is definitely not an ordinary person. Once he talks, he will talk endlessly.

"The tricky thing about the Han army is that Jiang Boyue's magic tricks are invincible. The world is invincible. The rest are just mediocre people. What's the point? Now the people in the Central Plains are in agitation, rumors are everywhere, and everyone in the court and the country is in panic. Then Liu Chan is not in the Central Plains. Such a good time is simply a talented Jin!"

"The day before yesterday, the Han thieves were defeated and beheaded more than 10,000 people were beheaded on all fronts. This is enough to show the courage of our Jin people. I think that the Central Plains is the old place of my Great Jin. Now, with your Majesty, you have ordered thousands of troops to launch together, respond to the heaven, the lower level, the lower level, the lower level, the inner level, the inner level, the right time, the right place, the harmony of the people but the unsuccessful ones has never been seen in ancient times! What is your Majesty's doubt?"

There are many high-ranking civil and military officials in this court, and Rong Hui is just a small miscellaneous general. He dares to rush to speak. If it weren't for the support of such an elder behind him, how could he be brave and arrogant?

The cold snorkeling sounds came one after another, mostly from the master and the civil and military officials. Rong Hui was originally the governor of Wei Guan at that time, but was punished by Wei Guan for committing crimes. Now that he has climbed the big tree of He, he naturally spared no effort to attack the old master.

The Chinese civil and military officials in the court were ashamed of their character. Seeing that they were so arrogant, they were already annoyed. But when they saw this, they said slowly: "Although the Central Plains are in chaos, they have not shown any sign of decline. The heavy troops in the border areas cannot be conquered in the short term. Our founding of the Jin Dynasty was still weak. We should build agriculture, broad fields, fill the treasury palace, so that the family has surplus grain and the army needs. Only in this way can we send troops."

"Weapons are weapons! Today, the Central Plains released a good intention to seek reconciliation. This is a good opportunity for our Jin Dynasty to develop steadily. We use rash weapons to avoid profits, but instead make the Ku Mansion empty and the lives are tragic. What are you asking for?"

This old man was Wei Shu, the senior farmer of the current dynasty, who was highly respected in his old age. When this old man came out, he was as slutty as Rong Hui, who was full of quibbling and did not dare to speak easily. He could only silence and retreat into the crowd.

He Zeng narrowed his eyes and complained that he was a pity when he saw this. Rong Hui's humble status was a quibbling character. With this man in the court, he could defeat the momentum of the master and his sect. Unfortunately, everyone was an official in the court, so who didn't know Rong Hui's insignificant words? Therefore, the other party directly sent a heavyweight Wei Shu to take action, but just a few words made Rong Hui retreat.

"Old Wei's words are wrong. I think that Liu Chanjiu's stay in the Central Plains for only a few months. People are thinking about Jin and the government and the country is in turmoil. Under such circumstances, only a large army needs to be pressed down, and chaos will inevitably arise inside. Then it will be a great opportunity to regain the Central Plains to restore their hometown. This is a rare opportunity and cannot be regarded as a pedantic view." He Zeng opened his mouth slightly and talked slowly. Since the other party was Wei Shu, the farmer of the Grand Secretary, I think he had to take action himself.

Wei Shuzhanyan said, "I dare to ask Mr. He how he can determine the Central Plains with one blow? It may only take a year for the Ku Mansion to provide all the money and grain to support the front line. If you don't make ends meet in a year, how can the Han people counterattack at that time?"

When asked, the ministers were all listening to He Zeng's next reply. Including Emperor Jin Sima You, they all knew that money, food and supplies were the key to the rise and fall of the country. If they could not conquer the Central Plains within one year, the Jin State would probably be hungry and dead at this time of the next year, and the corpses were accumulated as mountains.

This is a very practical issue. Even the main war side is concerned about it. Although the positions are different, everyone knows the seriousness of the problem.

He Zeng glanced at the ministers, looked at Wei Shu again and couldn't help but smile, "Why do this conquest take a year? I think my elite soldiers and generals of the Jin army have just repelled the Han army and are in high spirits. On the other hand, the people on the other side are uneasy, they lose sight of one and the other, and the army is under the pressure of the army and will not occupy themselves and will not be able to escape! Besides, those who are in a state of surviving Jiang Boyou, Liu Chan was trapped in Sichuan for a while and it is difficult for him to withdraw. Who else in the Central Plains is my opponent of the Jin Dynasty?"

This answer is quite inspiring, but it also explains the confidence of He Zeng and others in the war. The situation in the Central Plains is vulnerable, and internal changes will lead to the defeat of the Han army in the border war. The other party raises difficult questions from money and food, but He Zeng answers that can achieve military goals in a short time, and the answer that seems to be non-conflict actually has mystery.

Wei Guan, who had not spoken for a long time, said at this time: "It is important and the rise and fall of the country. It cannot be easily discussed. Those who fight, do not want to win and think about defeat first! If there is a situation, it will be unfavorable to go to the army, and it will anger the Han people and lose the opportunity to live in peace. Wouldn't it be a mistake? What will I do with my great Jin then?"

Most of the famous generals of Jin State were defeated by the Han army, and it is even recognized that no one could reach the level of Du Yu, Yang Hu, and Sima Zhao. Jiang Wei and Liu Chan, one of the Han army, were resourceful. Even if they were sick, even if they were not in the Central Plains, it was not difficult to leave a combat strategy.

He Zeng proposed the best result, but he did not mention the worst result. If things deviated from the expected track, how would Jin face the new situation at that time? Wei Guan saw that the other party wanted to inspire the ministers and his Majesty, so he pointed out the disadvantages incisively, so that everyone could realize the responsibilities and consequences that would be borne if the matter failed.

Emperor Jin Sima You nodded slightly to show his agreement when he heard this, but King Sima Yichang of Hanoi shook his head slightly and his face was not good.

He Zeng laughed and said, "Why is Lord Wei so confused? Who doesn't know that when the Han people are in trouble, they need to talk to our Jin State to calm down internal troubles. This is a delaying strategy! After the Han people are internally stable, how long can this peaceful covenant protect our Jin Dynasty? Then, when the Han Army Guard, who has no internal troubles, then, what will you rely on to resist??"

Everyone knows that the Han people had no intention of harmony, otherwise they would not have sent troops to fight after Pei Xiu went to the Central Plains and attacked many places in Hebei.

Therefore, He Zeng said that he agreed with the current situation. The reason why the Han people had the intention of peace talks was actually because they encountered internal troubles and were afraid that the Jin people would send troops at this time, so they spread such remarks to obtain time to eliminate internal troubles as soon as possible.

If the Jin people agreed, they would have a chance to breathe. However, a battle in the future would be inevitable. At that time, the combat environment of the Jin people would be much more difficult than now.

Wei Guan said confidently: "The Han people have far more troops than our Great Jin Dynasty. I wonder what good strategies can Mr. He have to defeat the Han people? Everything is inconsistent. If the war is not going well, what methods can prevent our Great Jin Dynasty from being affected by the war?"

The two countries are fighting each other and it is a good thing to suppress the Han people from entering the Central Plains, but they cannot defeat them and are bullied by the Han people to Hebei. Things may go to the other extreme.

How could a Confucian scholar know how to understand strategy? When Wei Guan asked about this, he could only avoid the topic, but everyone could hear that He had just seen the situation and had no specific combat plan. If it were a war, there would be an effective combat plan with a high success rate so that people could support the war with confidence; if it was a peace, it would be necessary to respond quickly before the Han people could quell the internal troubles, so that they could form an alliance to develop national strength with peace of mind.

In fact, there are only two choices in the matter. No one wants to delay time, but it is stuck at this critical point. It is also when Emperor Jin chose the queen. The relationship between the parties is very delicate and difficult to solve.

...

In Liaodong, tens of thousands of foreign races cheered constantly. After receiving the letter of the Great Jin State, Wang Rong established the country and ascended the throne. He did not proclaim himself emperor, but became king! The kingdom is naturally one level lower than the empire, but it was beyond expectations that he could reach a brotherly country with the Jin State.

In the past, such alien forces had to commit themselves to Jin and worship them as their main purpose. How could there be a reason to be king and become a country?

As time went by, Jin State quickly divided a city and handed it over to Wang Rong, which was a complete implementation of the agreement between the two countries. The materials, money and food transported from Jin territory can also ensure the stable survival and development of Wang Rong's people, which is even more gratifying.

It is impolite to come but not come back. Wang Rong is also a person who knows the situation. He immediately sent a foreign army of 5,000 people to the Jin State to control, which is to express his loyalty and make up for the losses suffered by the Jin army. After all, the Jin people in Liaodong worked hard and Wang Rong gained benefits. If this matter is not resolved, then King Sima Ji of Yan would take advantage of the situation sooner or later.

After getting the benefits, Wang Rong naturally knew how to resolve the benefits and harms. Although the King of Yan didn't get much benefit, the resentment in his heart disappeared.

The "Rong" country established by Wang Rong took the meaning of military force and did not reduce the fighting nature. If you have this, you will know the intention of killing in Wang Rong's heart.

The crossbow General Meng Guan was so kind that he couldn't help but secretly suspicious in his heart. He protected the rule of the Jin Dynasty and the Han people had already withdrawn. The title of this kingdom was so fierce. Is there still some military use in Liaodong next?!

With Wang Rong's character, he would never be aimless, but this is not an opportunity to ask. Therefore, Meng Guan knew it and accompanied King Yan Sima Ji to return to the Liaodong station. With less worries and more powerful arms, the King Yan was in a good mood.

He brought the five thousand foreign soldiers donated by Wang Rong to the school field for several training and was even more happy. These five thousand people, infantry and cavalry were all strong, and they were brave and fierce, not inferior to the elite soldiers recruited in Liaodong. With such a handy combat power, King Yan Sima Ji couldn't put it down. He now rewarded and treated people well in an attempt to please people's hearts.

At this moment, the envoy from the court arrived again, but from Liaodong Jiandao soldiers to Yedu. King Yan Sima Ji was stunned when he heard the news, "Is it the emperor's brother going to start a war against the Central Plains?"

Finally, Liaodong was wiped out. It was the time to accumulate energy. The court had to make big moves to recruit soldiers and horses everywhere. The King of Yan felt a little emotional, but he did not dare to say too much. He had heard of some of the matters in the court, especially with the intervention of the King of Hanoi Sima Yi, how could he dare to talk too much as a junior?

This is not only the decision of the court, but also the decision of the Hebei family and the decision of the Sima family. There is no room for the King of Yan to interrupt in any place!

The King of Yan cleverly handed over the five thousand aliens he had to the crossbow general Meng Guan, and took him to Yedu, which could also show his support for the Southern Expedition. Meng Guan was the one who named the name of the court and wanted to go there, so the Liaodong incident fell on the King of Yan alone.

Not only Liaodong, but also the troops and horses in various parts of Jin were mobilized in a unified manner. With He Zeng joining forces with the King of Hanoi, Emperor Jin was finally convinced. He Zeng took the lead in sponsoring the army, and the ministers of all major families responded to this move and paid out of their own pockets.

In this way, the burden on the treasury will be reduced and the impact on domestic development will be minimized. Without such compromise, Wei Guan will naturally not acquiesce.

Gathering troops on a large scale is a preparation for war and a test. What kind of reactions the Han people will react when they receive the news and what kind of reactions the Central Plains government and the people will respond when they hear the news, all determine the future direction of the two countries!
