sweeping the world

Chapter 482 What the hell are you doing?
Yu Yi's true feeling is: I don't want to help you.

The Yu family is not the Wang family. After being slapped on the right cheek, they can still put the left cheek together, in order to leave a way for them to rise again.

That's right, what the Wang clan did was to make a good impression on the aristocratic families south of the Yangtze River. Less than 20 years later, the Wang clan rose again, and even produced a Wang Xizhi who was praised by all the aristocratic families.

The style of the Wang family was the style of the family at that time. If the family could not be destroyed, they would not fight back with all their strength. They would sacrifice some interests to preserve the family's continued existence.After Wang Dao's death, the Wang clan retreated from the army, and the price was that the Wang clan no longer had anyone familiar with military affairs, and only had an absolute high position in some literary and cultural matters.There is no way to do this. It is very easy for the Wang family to withdraw from the military field, but it is extremely difficult to enter again even with the strength of the Wang family.

The rise of the Yu Clan that Yu Yi belonged to was very short. It was only when Yu Chen’s generation stepped into the army that they had the opportunity to rise. Afterwards, Yu Liang, Yu Bing, and Yu Yi all showed strong military capabilities and governed the region. The talents of the Yu family waited for the family members of the Yu family to become relatives before ushering in an all-round rise.

The Yu Clan lacks the background of the Wang Clan. Once they leave the army, they are like tigers who have lost their minions. The lack of outstanding figures in the next generation is even more of a flaw for the Yu Clan. Yu Yi knows that within 20 years the Yu Clan Don't even think about having a chance to rise again.

The situation in the world is turbulent, and it is completely different from the period when the Wang clan was in decline. Yu Yi's judgment is that the Yu clan can't wait for 20 years at all. In the next 20 years, those friendly families don't know whether they can exist or not. Those families who have feuds don't know what will happen.

Character and temper determine Yu Yi's choice, and with the support of the family elders, Yu Yi decided to take a relatively stable path, especially after he has traveled around the world in person, he has more confidence in his judgment.

Xie Shi sent away Yu Yi and the person he sent to deliver the letter. He was full of sinister mood for Yu Yi's refusal to help deliver the letter after being pretentious.

"It is rumored that Xu Zheng is a careless person. The reason why he was able to occupy a high position was to follow Liu Yan when he was in his infancy." From a family of military generals, he was worshiped by General Ying Yang of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.He smiled and said: "Most of the people in high positions in Han are like this."

That's for sure, the core of any group is always someone who follows the leader and rises from the humble beginnings.This is because life and death are more familiar with each other. Some people may be more capable than them, but nothing can compare to the trust of the king in them.

Liu Jian has a son named Liu Laozhi, but Liu Laozhi has not yet been born.

Xie Shi could tell that Liu Jian didn't think highly of the generals of Han, but he didn't intend to say anything more.It is a good thing for a lieutenant general to have self-confidence when facing a war. He himself maintains the highest vigilance and prudence. The more confident the subordinate generals are about the prospects of the war, the better.

"The racial vendetta in the Central Plains is still going on, Shijie on the northern front is still fighting fiercely with the Han army, and the Yan army in Liaodong is always threatening the Han country..." Xie Shi said a series of words, with a firm expression: "As long as Xu Zheng is fooled, Victory in this battle will definitely break the myth of Han's invincibility and lead to collapse."

After hearing this, Liu Jian nodded repeatedly, looking at his expression as if he was convinced of this.

To be honest, the rise of the Han Dynasty is really too short, and it is impossible to say that internal unity and stability are impossible.

Furthermore, there are too many enemies in the Han Dynasty, and the successive victories of the Han army can naturally suppress any contradictions. Once they fail, the contradictions will definitely explode.

"The Han Kingdom is divided into the Southern Faction and the Northern Faction..." Xie Shi said in a slow voice, "The Southern Faction has two factions, which are divided into the Southern Aristocratic Faction headed by Lu Yi and the Affiliated Faction headed by Huan Wen. The Northern Faction also has There are multiple factions, Sangyu's family faction, Ji Chang's poor family faction, Cui's harem faction and so on."

Xie Shi said so much and just wanted to express one meaning. The country under Liu Yan's rule is not monolithic. As long as there are factions, there will be conflicts of interest. As long as they can win the battle of Feishui, it will be the beginning of taking advantage of the factional conflicts in Han.

Liu Jian added with a smile: "There is also a Hulu faction, headed by Liu Yan, a Huren concubine."

"Oh, yes." Xie Shi also smiled, and said happily: "What we lack now is a victory. After winning, we will definitely be able to bury the hypocrite."

A burst of hearty laughter resounded from the top of the mountain, and the soldiers of the Jin army below basically turned their gazes up, and perhaps their morale was inspired by the confident appearance of the commander.

At the Han army camp located on the north bank of the Huai River, Xu met Yu Yi in a kind of inexplicable confusion. It was even more inexplicable to wait to learn that the person Xie Shi sent to deliver the letter was with Yu Yi.

Yu Yi's reputation in the Han Dynasty is not small, and he is even more famous than the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi. The main reason is that Liu Yan showed appreciation for Yu Yi, which led to the high-level officials of the Han Dynasty to study what kind of person Yu Yi was. .

To put it bluntly, the barracks would not entertain anyone casually during wartime. Xu Zheng would entertain Yu Yi with a trace of anticipation. After all, no matter how the Yu family is a powerful family in the south, it is impossible to say what surprises it will bring.

"Invitation to meet and hunt?" Xu Zhenggang read the letter written by Xie Shi, and there was only one core meaning in a long list of beautiful rhetoric.He looked at the messenger strangely, and said, "The Jin army is going north, please make room for us?"

The person who delivered the letter was not a minor character. He looked very young, but he was the son of Wang Shu, a famous official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. His name was Wang Chuzhi.He raised his neck slightly and said with a proud look on his face: "Is the general afraid of fighting the king's army openly?"

The generals of the Han army in the military tent were basically looking at each other in blank dismay. As for the combat effectiveness of the Jin army, the Han army and the Jin army had already had a basic judgment after a series of battles.

The Han army is not entirely elite, it is reasonable to be strong and weak.The Jin army also has strengths and weaknesses, but generally speaking, the Jin army must be weaker than the Han army.Now the relatively weak Jin army took the initiative to invite the Han army to hunt, or the Jin army gave up the favorable terrain and asked the two armies to fight an upright field battle. If this is the case, it can only be said that the Han army is willing to accompany them.

In this area, there are not many places that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops to fight in battle.Because there are mountains such as Bagong Mountain and Tu Mountain on the south bank of the Huai River (offshoots of the Dabie Mountains), it is naturally impossible to accommodate so many troops.Although there are quite a few mountains on the north bank of the Huai River, compared to the south bank, hundreds of thousands of troops can really be deployed on the north bank.

The young Wang Chuzhi was looking around at the generals of the Han army in the tent, and put on a very deliberate look of disdain, as if mocking the Han army for their lack of courage.

Xie An, who was sitting in the second seat, had no expression on his face, he even pretended to be resting with his eyes closed.

The terrain currently occupied by the Han army and the Jin army can distinguish obvious advantages and disadvantages. As the defensive side, the Jin army is located in a position with so many mountains, which is of course convenient for defense. The Han army, as the offensive side, actually has a headache for dense mountainous areas.

"Little guy, you can go out and wait for a while." Xu Zheng just treated Wang Chuzhi like a brat, and was not at all annoyed by Wang Chuzhi's deliberate performance.Waiting for Wang Chuzhi to go out, he turned his head to look at Xie An with closed eyes and rested his mind, and asked, "What does the deputy general think?"

Only then did Xie An open his eyes, and said clearly and briefly: "There is fraud."

Xie An and Xie Shi are two brothers, they are currently playing for different factions. According to the rules of the family, they only talk about the faction and don't consider the family relationship. As for whether they can really uphold the integrity, it is hard to say.

In fact, Xie An received a letter from Xie Shi a month ago, and he didn't reply because of any concerns, and it wasn't because he wanted to uphold the integrity of each branch of the family, but because of his questions about Xie Shi. I didn't have a clear answer myself.

The Han army is going south. Whether it is going to destroy the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in World War I really does not mean that the Han Kingdom can do it if it wants to, and it depends on whether the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is so weak.Judging from the performance of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty this time, at least most of the clans and aristocratic families have strong determination to resist, and they should be able to explode with considerable strength, but the Han army that invaded the south was only 20.

You must know that in the repeated contests between Han and Shijie Zhao, as long as it was a battle level, the number of troops participating in the battle was no less than 20. When the number was the largest, the Han army approached 70.Of course, when it comes to 70, there must not be that many troops actually participating in the war.

The small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had a large population, and its productivity and economic strength were not bad. Especially, most of the territory within the territory was mountainous and forested, and the water network was far denser than expected. The number can wipe out the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Xie An was able to answer Xie Shi's question about how Liu Yan viewed the aristocratic family. In fact, Liu Yan did not have an absolute attitude towards the aristocratic family. It can be developed, but it can be weakened or simply eliminated for those who do not consider themselves to be their own.

Will those aristocratic families in the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty be regarded by Liu Yan as one of his own?The answer couldn't be more obvious. Maybe some aristocratic families will be accepted, but it is absolutely impossible to completely preserve their strength.The question now is, if the Han army really wants to destroy the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, how far will Liu Yan go in purging the south.

"The Jin army has the right time, location, and people, and there is no shortage of food and fodder." Xie An did not show any emotion, just telling the facts: "The Han Dynasty is constantly fighting against Shijie in the north, and the Cheng Kingdom has just been destroyed in the west and needs to be digested. There is a threat from Murong Xianbei in the northeast, and Guanzhong is also unstable. For the Han Dynasty, time is of the essence, and the longer the war drags on, the more beneficial it is for the Jin State on the defensive side."

Xu Zheng kept nodding. He wanted to say something and suddenly remembered that Yu Yi was still in the tent, so he swallowed back what he was going to say.

Yu Yi knew what was going on when Xu Zheng's gaze swept over him. He chose to say goodbye after saluting, and smiled deliberately at Xie An before leaving.

Waiting for there to be no outsiders in the tent, Xu Zhengcai said: "The Jin army really does not need a quick battle, and this general will be surprised why they invited each other to meet."

"It is not ruled out that the Jin army has confidence in itself and believes that it has the strength to defeat us in an upright manner." Xie Shi still has no mood swings, just talking about the possibility: "There are indeed many elite Jin troops under the command of the general governor of the Jin army. , plus the Empress Dowager Chu is currently in charge of state affairs, and her father was released by us not long ago."

Xu Zheng understood that Xie Shi's actions might be due to pressure from Jiankang, or it might be that Empress Dowager Chu was eager to avenge her father and interfered with Xie Shi's choice.

Xie An continued to close his eyes and meditate after finishing what he had to say. His eyelashes were constantly fluttering, which showed that he was constantly thinking in his mind.

"Yu Gong came here specifically to find An Shi?" Xu Zheng didn't know what he was thinking, and said something that had nothing to do with the negotiation, and then said: "If An Shi goes out to meet Yu Gong, there may be some accidents. reward?"

Xie An opened his eyes again, saluted very calmly, and then walked out of the military tent steadily.When he got out of the big tent, he saw Yu Yi who seemed to be at ease. He invited Yu Yi to his big tent, and he could talk while walking if he had anything to say.

It's not that Xu Zheng didn't trust Xie An. If he really didn't trust him, he wouldn't be so obvious.

At present, the state of Han still hopes that the clan of the Yu family can jump back. If the clan of the Yu clan can really stand in the camp of the Han state, the difficulty of the Han army's attacking the south of the Yangtze River will be reduced by at least three points, and it will even be beneficial for the Han army to attack the south of the Yangtze River. After losing the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he governed the region.

Xu Zheng is one of the core high-level executives of the Han Dynasty. In addition to communicating with Liu Yan at the official meeting, there are actually letters in private. He is very clear about Liu Yan's considerations as a king.

Tiaoyou is the commander of the Nanzheng shogunate. He had to say at this time: "Generally speaking, this is not the classical era. There is no reason for the army to retreat to make room for the enemy to lay down their positions."

The so-called classical era is the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, all countries would inform each other of the time and place of war. Even when the two armies were at war, they waited for the other side to set up their formations. condition.The battle in this period is not aimed at killing the enemy, but about subduing the enemy. The war is only fought for the protection fee, so the battle is basically a field battle, with the goal of killing people and siege of land. It happened in the Warring States Period.

Xu Zheng kept nodding his head. As for whether he understood what Tiaoyou said about the classical era, who made knowledge so rare in this era.

"What should be clarified now is why Xie Shi invited Hui Lie. Is it his own choice, or was he forced by Jiankang?" Tiao You frowned as he spoke, and said with doubts: It's a powerful clan and aristocratic family, even the queen mother... can't command Xie Shi, right?"
