Han Chuo's expression changed. He didn't expect that his usually calm elder brother would actually start to plan his way out like this, and even expressed his thoughts. His brows furrowed: "Brother, we must prepare like this now.
Fell to the Jin army?"
Han Fan shook his head: "I didn't say that, I said, don't worry about it anymore. Don't you understand what this means?"
Gao Gai's eyes lit up: "What Prime Minister Han means is to consider that if His Majesty does not return..."
Feng He gritted his teeth: "Isn't this too anxious? We don't have a single soldier in our hands now, and the black robe's ears and eyes are very good. Although Murong Lan is now imprisoned, that He Lanmin has now taken over Murong Lan's role.
She has been in the city all day long these days. I think the expulsion of the Han people this time has something to do with her. Moreover, I don’t believe that your Majesty and the Imperial Guard still have the time and opportunity to issue such an order when the army is defeated. This
I’m afraid it’s something that the National Preceptor decided before the expedition and asked He Lanmin to carry it out!”
Han Fan said coldly: "There are some things that I would not normally say, but now that I have reached this point, as the minister of Yan and the Prime Minister of the country, I have to say it. The establishment of Dayan is not easy, and it is not your majesty alone.
However, since he came to the throne, he has not trusted us Han officials, nor their Xianbei veterans. Even Princess Lan, who has served Dayan loyally for decades and is highly respected, was jailed for him.
Such perverse actions have shown the direction of subjugating the country, and all of this is the work of these two evildoers, Heipao and Gongsun Wulou!"
Han Chuo's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said: "Brother, be careful what you say, I'm afraid..."
Han Fan stood up and said loudly: "What's wrong? As the prime minister of a country, can't I even say something? Don't say there are only a few of us here. Even if His Majesty is here, I will still say these words. Do you believe it?
Heipao, Xin Gongsun Wulou, okay, then trouble them to stabilize the country. They proposed provoking border provocations to provoke Liu Yu. They also said that they could win the battle and take advantage of the victory to seize the six counties in Jiangbei. What was the result? Linqu was defeated.
, one hundred thousand soldiers died on the battlefield, and now Liu Yu is taking advantage of the victory to pursue him, and is about to hit Guanggu. His Majesty’s life and death are unknown, shouldn’t someone else be responsible for this?”
Gao Gai burst out laughing: "Xiang Han said it so well. The country is like this because of Heipao, a monster of unknown origin. He messed up in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then escaped to us, and now he wants to
For letting Dayan follow the old path of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is time to settle the accounts with him. If His Majesty is still alive and can come back, we will jointly submit a letter to join this black robe and force him to kill this monster to thank the world and comfort the world.
The spirits of one hundred thousand soldiers in heaven!"
Feng He sneered and said: "Lao Gao, I'm afraid you are too proud. No matter what the black robe is, at least everyone knows how to fight. There were no mistakes in command this time in the Linqu battle, but Liu Yu was too cunning.
Forget it, now that the front line is defeated, asking His Majesty to kill the entire army commander in front of the battle will only make people's hearts even more uneasy. Moreover, Black Robe's ability is not only fighting, he also has an intelligence organization, and is His Majesty's eyes and ears, monitoring the whole situation for His Majesty.
Regarding the affairs of city officials, soldiers and civilians, even if His Majesty has some resentment towards him, it is impossible to kill him at this time, it would be tantamount to committing suicide!"
Han Chuo nodded: "I agree with Feng Shangshu. After all, Hei Pao is the best general now. It is impossible to kill him, at least not now. At most, your Majesty will hold him accountable for rashly sending troops to start the war.
Responsibility, take back some of his powers, such as taking back the order to expel the Han people, and work together to protect Guanggu City."
Han Fan sighed: "Haven't you ever thought that killing or deposing the black robe at this time is our only way to save ourselves?"
The three of them all looked surprised and said in unison: "I would like to hear the details!"
Han Fan's eyes sparkled: "In the defeat of Linqu, our army has lost all its elite troops. Even if there are still 30,000 to 40,000 main troops who escape, it is impossible to save the situation. Liu Yu is determined to destroy Nanyan. No,
Like the previous Northern Expedition of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he would give up halfway. He would definitely pursue Guanggu himself, and the Han people in various places in Nanyan would definitely turn to Liu Yu and provide him with food and grass supplies. Even if we defend the city, we cannot continue to defend it.
, the food and grass in the city can last for a year, but what will happen after one year? Can we rely on the soldiers and horses in the city to go out of the city and repel the Jin army?"
Han Chuo gritted his teeth: "It is unlikely that Liu Yu will go deep into the country alone. His country may not be peaceful. Moreover, now that Nan Yan is a vassal state of Later Qin, Later Qin has the obligation to send troops to rescue!"
Han Fan sneered and said: "Later Qin? They had too much time to take care of themselves and were beaten to death by Liu Bobo. Generals Qi Nan and Yang Fosong both died in battle. Yao Xing was beaten to the point where he almost couldn't return to Chang'an. Why do they still want to come to rescue? Even if they can get together,
Are tens of thousands of horses coming to help, Liu Yu's opponent? I don't expect it anyway, unless there is internal chaos in Liu Yu's Jin country and a large-scale civil war breaks out, otherwise Liu Yu will never leave, and in the future
With the fighting power of the Beifu Army, I don’t think they can capture Guanggu. The most they can do is attack by force without sacrificing lives.”
Gao Gai nodded: "Then we should contact Liu Yu earlier and negotiate the conditions for his surrender in the future, instead of placing our hopes on Murong Chao and Heipao."
Han Fan shook his head: "Negotiation? What kind of negotiation? Now we don't even have the ability to present the city to welcome the Jin army. I'm afraid we still have to rely on Liu Yu to come in and save us. Do we have the qualifications to negotiate with others? In the past, we turned to
Murong De, he relied on the city where he was an official and the large area of land controlled by his clan as conditions, do we still have these conditions this time?"
Gao Gai stood there dumbly, speechless.
Feng He said in a deep voice: "Then what else can we do? Are we going to meet with Empress Dowager Duan and ask him to take charge of the overall situation before His Majesty comes back and send someone to negotiate peace with Liu Yu?"
Han Fan smiled and waved his hand: "Ever since the last time she failed to depose Murong Chao, Empress Dowager Duan has been effectively under house arrest in the palace. She has no power at all. What we are really looking for is not Empress Dowager Duan, but someone else."
A woman."
At this time, all three people's eyes lit up and they blurted out: "Princess Lan?!"
Han Fan nodded seriously: "Yes, in Guanggu now, the only person who can end all chaos and give us a glimmer of hope is Princess Lan who is under house arrest. If His Majesty comes back, we will go after the black robe for starting a war indiscriminately and being defeated.
For the crime of losing a master, I do not ask your majesty to kill him or depose him. I only ask that Princess Lan, who was opposed to sending troops to Jiangbei at that time, can come back and be responsible for negotiating peace with Liu Yu. Only in this way can Nanyan be preserved and help us survive.
