Tan Daoji's eyes sparkled with tears. This was the first time that he could be supported and affirmed in front of everyone by his idol, the first warrior of the Beifu Army. He nodded excitedly and said: "Since Brother Jinu is like this
Having said that, I have no scruples. What I said today was my own doing and has nothing to do with the Tan family. If I am really convicted for my words in the future, I will never bring trouble to my brothers and uncles."
Liu Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, listen up. When we entered Beifu, we made an oath that we are all brothers in life and death. What do we mean by brothers? It means people who use their lives to protect their comrades and comrades on the battlefield.
, it is also worthy of being a person who can safely support his back and sides. Do you still remember how we practice formations? The shield in your hand is not to protect yourself, but to protect half of your companion's side. Now,
Brother Ji wants to discuss the art of war, state affairs, and analyze the future future for us brothers. This is our battlefield. Brother Daoji’s profile is his words, so where is our shield?"
Everyone stood up together, put their hands on their chests, and performed a standard military salute, just like in the army: "Taoist military discussions must not be leaked to anyone! Brothers working together can be as powerful as gold!"
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and everyone sat down cross-legged. At this moment, everyone was no longer just drinking buddies reminiscing about old times, but as serious as when they started military discussions and assigned combat tasks in the army.
Tan Daoji said loudly: "The current Jin Dynasty is different from any time in the past hundred years since the southern crossing. The big families in Jiankang City have suffered a lot from the Northern Expedition in recent years, and Xie Xianggong, the first official of the Jin Dynasty,
The death of a powerful official means that the power of the family that suppressed the imperial power has temporarily disappeared. With the Xie family retreating, the current leader of the family has become the minister's servant, Wang Guobao. He has been attached to the King of Kuaiji for many years, and he often uses evil villains. Take a look.
Our Jingkou governors Diao Cishi and Diao Changshi know what kind of person they are following, and in just two or three years, officials from all over the Jin Dynasty were in trouble, and even our Jingkou city was in a state of chaos."
Tan Pingzhi said coldly: "It is true that Wang Guobao is a bastard, and the Diao brothers are indeed dog officials, but what does this have to do with the civil war? The emperor has regained power, and Wang Guobao and others who followed them can also use their own
Those henchmen and lackeys are placed everywhere, who can their enemies be?"
Tan Daoji looked at Liu Yu and smiled slightly: "Brother Jinu should know this best. Although the Xie family has temporarily declined due to the failure of the Northern Expedition and the deaths of Xuan Gong and Xuan Shuai, a group of aristocratic families headed by the Xie family will not
Even if they were willing to quit, the conflict between the emperor and them was that the Xie family used to have exclusive power and the imperial power was weak. Now that the Xie family fell, the emperor found that the power was still not his own, but had been transferred to his younger brother, the King of Kuaiji, and the King of Kuaiji knew it.
Wang Guobao and his like are greedy and stupid, but they still use them just because they are willing to bow down and obey orders. Such lack of regard for national affairs and the use of evil villains shows that what he is after is not wealth, but power. As a matter of power,
Of all the princes in the world, what power can he have that is greater than what he has now?"
Tan Pingzhi took a breath of air: "Daoji, I don't dare to say this. Do you want to say that King Kuaiji has the intention to rebel? Does he need this?"
Tan Daoji shook his head: "He does not need to rebel, but he can control power for a long time like Mr.
You must make a difference and be unwilling to be manipulated. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have used King Kuaiji to contain the Xie family. Now that the Xie family has fallen, your younger brother has become the new Xie family. How can you swallow this tone?
?So, he began to use those aristocratic families who were enemies of Wang Guobao, such as Wang Gong and Wang Zhenjun, who were Xuan Shuai's best friend, the brother of his former queen, and his brother-in-law. With such a close relationship, he went out to control Yangzhou
, To control the Beifu Army is to control the most powerful army in the Jin Dynasty. When necessary, we can wipe out various places, and even lead troops to Beijing to directly control the government."
Wei Yongzhi rolled his lips: "What you said is easy. The Beifu Army is indeed invincible in the Jin Dynasty, but this army has never been used in civil war. We are only interested in fighting the Hulu. Besides, the opponents of the Beifu Army are in
Where? Jingzhou?"
Tan Daoji said seriously: "Jingzhou is now in the hands of Wang Chen. He is Wang Guobao's younger brother. Now Wang Guobao controls the government internally and leaves Wang Chen outside. If we can successfully control Jingzhou's military power from the Huan family, once the government is in control
If there is a change, we can learn from the history of the Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years, and raise troops from Jingzhou and go down the river. Jingzhou's taxes, food and grass are almost useless, and it has the reputation of guarding against strong barbarians in the north. It can maintain a large army all year round. Once this force
The army obeyed Wang Chen's order, so how could the imperial court in the capital deal with it? Wang Ningzhi, the son-in-law of the Xie family and the head of the Langwang family, is now out of Jiangzhou, which can be regarded as the first line of defense. However, Jiangzhou has few soldiers and weak people.
There is no way to stop it, Yuzhou is in the hands of Yu Zhun of Wang's party again, the only one who can stop Jingzhou's troops is the Beifu Army."
Tan Pingzhi said bitterly: "These are just your conjectures. Wang Chen doesn't have such thoughts now. Even if he does, he doesn't even have the ability to control Jingzhou, how can he do anything?"
Tan Daoji said seriously: "If Huan Xuan returns to Jingzhou at this time and cooperates with Wang Chen, then he will have the ability to control Jingzhou. The Huan family has always been ambitious. Huan Wen has had the ambition to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but he was thanked that year.
The Xianggong stopped him. Later, Huan Chong put the overall situation first, focused on the autonomy of Jingzhou, and temporarily put away his ambitions. However, this Prince Huanxuanhuan was not his uncle. He had always been keen on exploiting the camp, and even Huan Chong was shocked.
He was wary of his ambitions and feared that he would rebel once he got Jingzhou, so he sent him to Jiankang from afar. Over the years, he had been secretly contacting various aristocratic families in Jiankang. If his intention was only to return to Jingzhou, why would he do this?
"
Wei Yongzhi said thoughtfully: "Listening to what you said, it is really the case. But I heard that Huanxuan wanted to make friends with the King of Kuaiji before, but he was humiliated in front of him, which was like breaking up. I can't see him joining forces with Wang Chen.
possible."
Tan Daoji sighed: "It is indeed impossible for King Kuaiji to go out to control Jingzhou on his own, but in my opinion, Wang Chen and King Kuaiji may not necessarily be on the same road. The Wang family's plans may be what King Kuaiji wants.
For the same things, there is the possibility of cooperation."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Daoji, what evidence do you have for saying this? Who told you what happened in Jingzhou?"
Tan Daoji grinned: "Because Wang Chen is now looking for Huan Xuan's whereabouts. If he just wants to be the governor of Jingzhou and collect some property, why bother? As for this matter, it is your two disciples, brothers Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi.
I was told that we trained together when we were in the army, and we were good comrades who shared the same pot. Brother Jinu, they asked me to say hello to you."
