sweeping the world

Chapter 254
Don't look at Huan Wen's calm appearance, in fact, his heart is already full of turmoil.

No matter how incompetent the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting is, that is Zhengshuo recognized by the world. The enemy's Shijie Zhao State also maintained the respect it deserved.

Look what Liu Yan is doing?He showed his disdain for the Eastern Jin Dynasty without any concealment, and even clearly showed his contempt for the aristocratic families south of the Yangtze River.

Both Huan Wenwen and Yuan Qiao were members of the Yangtze family's clan. They didn't revolt not because they were afraid of death in Liu Yan's army. It was because Liu Yan spoke too directly and opened up the scars that the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had covered up so well.

In fact, not many aristocratic families care about the Sima Imperial Family at present. The reason for maintaining the existence of the Sima Imperial Family is that they need a "co-owner". This "co-owner" is incompetent and is the most ideal for those aristocratic families.

Anyone with a little brain knows that the south of the Yangtze River is the actual situation of joint governance by aristocratic families, and they all know that this is not good for the country. Can't do any business.

That's right, who in the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty didn't know such disadvantages?But the overall environment is already like this, not to say that a little peace of mind can solve it, it has become a dangerous situation where anyone who is weak will be wiped out.

It is precisely because the general environment has become a reality, so what can we do if we are angry?Disregarding the interests of the family to accomplish what great righteousness is, you can only hit yourself on the edge of someone else's knife!
Huan Wen suppressed his anger: "What choice?"

"I can see that you are very angry, but you don't have any words to refute." Liu Yan does not look like a superior person at all and lacks that kind of magnanimity.He said to Huan Wen with a half-smile, "I'm afraid you'll think I'm crazy if I ask you to stay and help me regain the Central Plains?"

Huan Wen twitched the corners of his mouth, not even interested in uttering a word.

How many tribes are there in the Han tribe?Nobody was really interested.On the contrary, everyone is very concerned about the number of capable troops under Liu Yan's command. It is guessed that it is between [-] and [-], and there is absolutely no more.

So based on Liu Yan's [-] battle-ready soldiers, is [-] soldiers a lot?Shihu can easily pull out hundreds of thousands of Hu people who can fight, and he is about to wipe out the Han tribe in minutes.

"From your eyes, I saw the word 'joke'." Liu Yan laughed dumbfounded, and smiled for a while before saying: "So those of you who live in the south of the Yangtze River, even if you have enough ambition , but you really don’t understand the current situation in the world at all. Not to mention that you have ignored the bullying and slaughter of your own people for many years, and you don’t pay attention to the changes in recent years at all?”

Huan Wen still didn't speak, but his face was tense, apparently feeling unconvinced.

The army was always on the move, the rolling wheels were heading southwest, and there would be no problem traveling hundreds of miles a day at the speed.When they arrived halfway, they met the team escorting the prisoners back.

An intelligence officer reported to Liu Yan the situation on the front line, but Liu Yan had no intention of avoiding Huan Wen and others.

Mou Township and Zhongqiu were captured by the Han army last night. The vanguard cavalry was intercepted by the Shijie Zhao army cavalry from the direction of Yangdu. The two sides encountered each other on the plain sixty miles east of Linyi. The Han army defeated 4000 troops. The many Shijie Zhao Jun Qingqi, beheaded more than [-], captured more than [-], and the remaining Shijie Zhao Jun fled without a trace.In addition, the infantry of the Han army stopped advancing due to the harassment of the cavalry of the Zhao army in Shijie, and temporarily stationed in Zhongqiu to wait for the follow-up troops.

"There are more than ten thousand enemy troops in the direction of Yangdu?" Liu Yan was asking Sang Yu.

"Yes, four thousand were defeated, and there were about two thousand who harassed our infantry?" Sang Yu said with a smile: "Originally, we wanted to encircle Kaiyang for reinforcements, but I didn't expect that Wang Luan had made arrangements in advance. "

Zhao Jun in Shijie, Langye County, seems to have more than 4 people?If you count some mobs that came together impromptu, the number of Zhao Jun in Shijie in Langye County will be even more.What is hard for Sang Yu to judge now is that the cavalry that was defeated is the regular army of Shijie Zhao army, or a miscellaneous brand that was temporarily gathered from some nomadic tribes. More detailed information must be passed on.

"The Zhao army in Xuzhou is approaching 20." Huan Wen said mockingly after listening to Liu Yan's discussion with others, "Although most of them are mobs, 20 is 20."

"Our army has defeated more than 20 Hu people for more than the first time." Sang Yu glanced at Huan Wen, curled his lips: "For the useless Jin army, 20 Hu people are quite a lot. For our army, 20 Hu people are just 20 cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered."

Most of the people who heard it sneered a few times, and they should admit that the Han army does not seem to be weak, but whether it is Liu Yan or whoever under his command, why are they so fond of bragging?
With different cognitions, different confidence, and different ideas, it is difficult to talk about going together.

After that, Liu Yan ignored Huan Wen and the others, but let him follow, and he didn't shy away from discussing anything.

"Yuanzi, we are in serious trouble." Yuan Qiao continued to smile wryly: "I never thought that Liu Shijun would be so... so...", should it be said that he did not play cards according to the rules, or that he ignored the world's vision? Do this detention thing.

"Uncle Yan, I..." Huan Wen had a strange expression on his face, hesitating again and again before saying, "Maybe Liu Shijun has a trump card that we don't know about, after all, he made his fortune in four years."

Yuan Qiao frowned when she heard Huan Wen use the word "Jiye".He knew that Huan Wen was a man of great ambition, and after meeting Yu Ying, the two agreed to do a great cause together.For Yu Ying, the great cause is the success of the Northern Expedition, capturing the lost land and recovering the Central Plains.For Huan Wen, the Northern Expedition was also a lifelong wish, but there may be some more complicated things in it, anyway, it is not as pure as Yu Ying.

"The person named Yu Shang looks like he has the bearing and temperament of a noble family. No one with the surname Yu has ever been heard of in the Central Plains, so it can be seen that it is a false name." Yuan Qiao pondered: "Listen to a few more words, Liu Shijun and Li Min seem to have reached an alliance?"

"It should be." Huan Wen said with great concern: "There seems to be errors and delays in our intelligence. Maybe Liu Shijun wants to mislead us?"

Zhang Jun reached an agreement with Ran Min, and Murong Hao was perfunctory to the Eastern Jin court. Two things were really important to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

This time the Northern Expedition of the Eastern Jin Xiaochao Ting, whether it is Zhang's Liangguo or Murong Yanguo, occupies a very important position in the Northern Expedition plan of the Eastern Jin Xiaochao~ting, compared to Liu Yan's Han Dynasty In terms of roles, if you want to talk about how the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting is divided, it should be that Murong Hao is three times more important than Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun is three times more important than Liu Yan.

Only when you come to Liu Yan's side with your own eyes, will you know how taken for granted and how stupid it is to follow the previous division.Let's not talk about whether Murong Hao and Zhang Jun are really cheating, and whether they can help the Northern Expedition of the Eastern Jin Xiao~chao~ting, just look at the [-] army led by Liu Yan, look at the military equipment of the Han army, and then look at it. The elite level of the soldiers of the Han army, Liu Yan is not so weak.

The first time he talked about playing for himself, Huan Wen didn't respond, and Liu Yan never mentioned a second choice with Huan Wen.

From the bottom of his heart, Liu Yan still hopes to subdue Huan Wen, which requires a process. Maybe Huan Wen will change his mind after reading too much, right?

On the other side of Zhongqiu, the infantry that had marched out earlier joined up, and the army continued to march towards Kaiyang in a bright light.

The Han army went south and planned to attack Langye County as soon as it came. Such news had already reached Wang Luan.

In fact, tens of thousands of troops can't hide at all. After all, it's not a small team of a dozen people. If tens of thousands of troops can still march secretly, it must be that the enemy's general is so stupid that he didn't send scouts, or the enemy's How blind are the scouts?

"It's really become a trend!" Wang Luan was born as a general, but unlike Cui Xuan, he has no actual ability to lead the army except for talking. Great achievement, it can still be regarded as Shi Hu's trust.He stood in front of the map of mountains and rivers, looked at the information for a long time, turned his head and said to his subordinates standing behind him, "I thought Liu Yan would wait for the Jin army to prepare before attacking, but I didn't expect Liu Yan to ignore the Jin army at all?"

A general named Wang Lang said: "Whether it's a conspiracy or not, we can't just see Kaiyang being attacked by the Han army."

In fact, both Wang Luan and Wang Lang belong to Shi Zun. Although they have the same surname, they are absolutely not related by blood.

Since Deng Hengzai was in the hands of the Han army, the generals of the Zhao army in Shijie have never underestimated the Han army. What Wang Luan is hesitating is that once the Xuzhou army turns its attention to the Han army attacking Langye County, Jin How will the army react?
"This time, the Yu family, the number one clan in the Jin Kingdom, is leading the Northern Expedition, so we have to be cautious." Wang Luan knew better than Liu Yan what the current Yu family represented south of the Yangtze River.He said very seriously: "With Yu Bing as the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army's Northern Expedition, the number of Jin troops in Yangzhou increased from [-] to [-] in just one month, and the number of troops is increasing every day. If it's just manpower, it's nothing more than material resources." It's the most worrying!"

"Then..." Wang Lang frowned: "What does the military lord mean?"

"Concentrate and shrink the troops along the line first, so as not to be defeated by the Han army one by one." Wang Luan was full of thought: "Then quickly ride to report to Xiangguo, please order Sun Fudu to go south to attack Qingzhou immediately."

"Wonderful!" Wang Lang laughed a few times, and said: "Liu Yan's rebel army invaded Xuzhou with [-] troops, and his back and hinterland would be empty. If he attacked the back first, Liu Yan would be disturbed. The morale of the army should also be low."

"That's for later." Wang Luan said firmly: "The Jin country will definitely make old mistakes."

What old problem?Isn't it just a habitual hindrance?And it seems that Wang Luan also has a certain reason, because the Yu family has been feared by the Sima royal family and most of the aristocratic families, so it would be strange not to do something.
