Half an hour later, Liangyi Hall, a huge palace, was empty. There were not even two guards. The brothers Fu Jian and Fu Rong were sitting on the floor in a gray-coated, even looking shabby old building.
On the Persian blanket, Fu Rong lowered his head and said nothing, while Fu Jian kept looking at his younger brother with bright eyes. After a long time, he sighed: "Ah Rong, do you know why I saw you alone after I retired from the court?"
Woolen cloth?"
Fu Rong raised his head: "Because Brother Wang wants to persuade my brother to support your plan of a large-scale southern expedition!"
Fu Jian shook his head: "You keep saying that Murong Chui and Yao Chang are ambitious. Well, now my brother won't listen to them. Anyway, they have finished what they have to say. There are only two brothers here, you and me. This world is also a place where we join forces to fight against each other."
Yes, everyone has a share, now I only listen to your opinion, whether we should send an army that will overwhelm the country and march south!"
Fu Rong said without hesitation: "Absolutely not!"
Fu Jian's expression was calm: "But how do you refute what Murong Chui and Yao Chang said? Tell the truth, are the current monarchs and ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty united or discordant? Their combat effectiveness, especially the Lianghuai troops, is that of the Beifu soldiers.
Is it strong or weak?"
Fu Rong sighed: "Murong Chui's words have a certain truth. Sima Yao is indeed suspicious of Xie An. Xie An asked Xie Xuan to leave Zhenbei Mansion, and he did have plans to take refuge outside the domain. But the more this happens, the more firmly they will
If you control the military power, you will do your best to win the war. In this way, protecting the country is protecting the family. When the interests of the two are consistent, the energy that bursts out is huge and amazing!"
Fu Jian sighed: "In other words, you still think we can't defeat the Eastern Jin Dynasty now?"
Fu Rong said sternly: "If the Jin army goes north and wants to invade the Qin Dynasty, it will naturally seek death. Your Majesty only needs to send a general with 100,000 troops to meet them face to face. Wu soldiers cannot fight with our cavalry in the northern plains.
If we fight, we will definitely be defeated. But if we go deep into Jingyang and the northern soldiers are not acclimated to the climate, while the Eastern Jin army wants to defend their country and has a strong will to fight, and the terrain and climate are favorable to them, it will be very difficult for us to win."
"Brother Wang, our Great Qin seems to be extremely powerful now, but all the foreign races that we have conquered and defeated are lurking in wait and accumulating strength. We are now at peace in the world, and they do not dare to attack, but once the external war fails,
Or if it drags on for a long time, then they will inevitably cause trouble in the country. The Eight Kings Rebellion in the Jin Dynasty led to the Wuhu chaos in China, and we, the Di people, had the opportunity to take over the Central Plains. We learned from the past, how could we do it so quickly?
Did you just forget about it?”
Fu Jian curled up his lips in dissatisfaction: "If you are afraid that these foreign barbarians will cause chaos, you can serve as a vanguard and let them fight with the Jin army first. In this way, even if the war is unfavorable, the ones who will die will be these foreign people who are fighting against us."
What does it matter? I just wanted to test Murong Chui today. He is willing to take the initiative to lead troops into battle, so let the Xianbei people from his Murong family be the vanguard."
Fu Rong shook his head: "No, if Murong Chui is allowed to be the vanguard, things will be more troublesome. He will fight a few small victories in the Huaihe and Huaihe areas, and then launch an army to plunder, which will not only benefit his own people, but also stimulate me."
The other troops in the army are eager to fight. When the time comes, all the generals will want to ask for orders to go to war without the orders of Brother Wang. At that time, he will shrink back. In the face of a real tough battle, this cunning guy will not stand out.
Just like when he was in Jingzhou, facing Huan Chong who was desperately defending his homeland, he just stopped moving forward."
Fu Jian sighed: "You always treat Murong Chui and Yao Chang as outsiders, traitors, bad guys, and as aliens who are deliberately plotting to seize our world. I have told you so many times that we will invade the Central Plains.
What we need is the kind of magnanimity and mind that has the world in mind. I can tolerate Wang Meng and I can tolerate Murong Chui. So far, they have been very loyal to us and worked hard for the Qin Dynasty. The Kingdom of Yan has been destroyed.
It’s impossible to go back to the past, so what’s wrong with being our subject?”
Fu Rong gritted his teeth: "Wang Meng is a Han, well-educated Confucian, and knows etiquette and justice well. Murong Chui is a barbarian, with a human face and a beast's heart, and is ungrateful. How can he belong to the same family?"
Fu Jian's face darkened: "We Di people are also the five barbarians in the mouth of those Han people. We are also the same foreign barbarians as Murong Chui. Are we also ambitious?"
Fu Rong gritted his teeth: "Brother Wang, we were indeed the subjects of the Jin Dynasty back then, but we also took advantage of the melee among the eight kings of the Jin Dynasty to raise troops and seize the Jin Dynasty. They are right to think so of us. Although you have benevolence and righteousness,
We love our people as our own children, but we Di people are really aliens in their eyes. This difference will probably take hundreds or thousands of years to be eliminated!"
Fu Jian stood up excitedly and said loudly: "Yes, we are foreigners, but I, Fu Jian, do not regard the Han people as slaves to be conquered. On the contrary, I would rather wrong my own people than allow them to oppress the Han people. Since ancient times, I
Who can do this so far?!"
Fu Rong sighed and stood up: "Brother Wang's benevolence is indeed touching, but not everyone repays his kindness. Murong Chui and you not only have national hatred, but also family hatred. The more he becomes
Be respectful, the more something is wrong, Brother Wang still has to notice clearly!"
Fu Jian gritted his teeth: "Okay, don't say any more about this. The Zhou Dynasty was also a foreign race back then, a tribe from the west. Didn't they also become the destined emperor of the Central Plains? But if they only stayed in a corner of Guanzhong,
Instead of conquering Chaoge, that will never be regarded as orthodox. Ah Rong, you only think that we are conquered by foreign races, why don't you think about it. Now this conquest has not been completed, the world has not been unified, even the Han people in our country
, we still regard the Eastern Jin Dynasty as an orthodoxy, and if we don’t unify when we have the strength, when internal chaos really breaks out, the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed!”
Fu Rong didn't expect Fu Jian to say these words, and was speechless for a moment, stunned on the spot.
Fu Jian sighed, patted his brother's shoulder gently, and motioned him to sit down. He also sat down cross-legged in front of Fu Rong, and said sincerely: "Ah Rong, you know that I am doing this for such a great achievement."
Do you want to conquer the Eastern Jin Dynasty? Wrong! I am doing this just for the eternal future of our Di people. We are foreigners who entered the Central Plains. Compared with the Han people and other barbarians, our numbers are small. Now we are strong because of our military force.
, ruling with benevolence and righteousness, there is no problem, but once a tyrant like Fu Sheng appears, it will be the disaster of national destruction and annihilation. It will be difficult to even preserve our ethnic group. Look at the Shi clan of the Jie clan. Now
