Yao Chang smiled slightly: "The metaphor of King Wu is too apt and similar. Yes, Fu Jian is this kind of person. He has been suppressed for too long. Finally, after Wang Meng's death, he wanted to take charge of the government and exploded. Moreover, he also
He has little confidence in whether the Di people in the future can continue to implement his national policies and whether the world can continue to be stable. He wants to completely unify the world in his lifetime."
Murong Chui nodded: "Yes, so these two reasons made him rule out all remonstrances and send troops anyway. Today, the Ministry of War has begun to mobilize soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and the edict to draw one out of ten has also been issued.
Within this period, Fu Jian can really form an army of one million men."
Yao Chang's expression changed: "Ten dice draw one?"
Murong Chui smiled and said: "Yes, I have spies in the palace. The edict has been drafted and will probably be issued at this moment. After we return, we will have to recruit young men from among our own clan to go out in the war."
Yao Chang's brows furrowed: "Even in our barbarian tribe, being drafted once out of ten is a very heavy military service. Is Fu Jian's brain really broken? No one advised him?"
Murong Chui laughed: "Last time, so many people advised him not to send troops. It was useless. Once he made up his mind, he would carry it out to the end, and he would either not do it or do something absolutely. In fact, Fu Rong's words still had some influence on him.
He was also afraid that if they failed, too many Di people would die and the country would be shaken, so he decided to treat everyone equally, whether they were Di people, Han people, Xianbei people, or Qiang people.
He is a male, and he has to draw one out of ten, so he hopes that if he loses, there will be no chaos in the country."
Yao Chang nodded: "The burden on the country will be very heavy, especially the Han people who are used to living a comfortable life. They will definitely complain. But if this happens, we Qiang and you Xianbei will also have to recruit a large number of men to join the army.
, even if Fu Jian is really defeated, we will suffer heavy losses, and it will be difficult to cause trouble when he comes back."
Murong Chui smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, of course we have to look very loyal when we go back and mobilize our tribesmen to join the army. How can we miss such a good opportunity for recruiting and arming? Fu Jian usually guards us and doesn't give us anything.
The tribesmen do not distribute weapons and war horses when they have the opportunity to serve as soldiers. This time we can take advantage of the opportunity to arm ourselves. After he loses, we can use the troops at hand to start an attack."
"As for what you are worried about, it is actually nothing to worry about. You go to Xichuan and I go to Jingzhou. Neither of these two places will be the main direction of attack. Fu Jian must want to avenge Junchuan, so he will arrange for him to attack Di in the Lianghuai area.
The main force of the tribe is sent to deal with the Beifu Army. It is still the rebellious heart of the child I just mentioned. The more we say that the Beifu Army is powerful and difficult to fight, the more he will fight head-on. Otherwise, it is not enough to prove himself.
ability."
Yao Chang said with a smile: "Very good, then losing like this will also be a loss for his Di tribe's army. The Di tribe has a small population, with only one or two million people in the country. The number of men in the army is only one out of ten, which is hundreds of thousands. If he loses in a battle,
If all of them are gone, then Fu Jian's world will be really unstable. But..."
At this point, Yao Chang frowned slightly: "There is one last question left. Even if Fu Jian loses this battle, to what extent will it be enough to cause chaos in the world? If the north is really in chaos, then the Eastern Jin Dynasty
Will they take advantage of the situation and take back the world? If Fu Qin is destroyed and the Eastern Jin Dynasty comes, we will have no benefit."
Murong Chui pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Judging from Fu Jian's conscription order, all places use central cities as gathering points for conscription. There are 100,000 elite soldiers left in Jingzhou from the last conquest of Huanchong, and we
The Xianbei and Dingling people have gathered in large numbers in the Luoyang area of the Central Plains. When the time comes, Fu Jian will probably let the soldiers here march to Jingzhou, with Liang Chenglai taking command, and I will lead my own soldiers to follow."
"And the northern soldiers from Yecheng and Qilu will gather towards the Huaihe and Huaihe areas. Fu Rong should be in command of this force. Fu Jian himself will recruit the main force of the Di people from the Longyou area in Guanzhong and cross the Yellow River to march eastward as backup.
, as for you, you will still go to Shuzhong, take the ships and naval forces built last time, and go down the river to support the Jingzhou front."
"The response of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will definitely be to use the soldiers and horses from Jingzhou and the upper reaches to fight against the invading enemies, while the Beifu Army will serve as the vanguard to deal with the Qin Army coming from the Huaihe River. The imperial court will continue to recruit troops in the Sanwu area as backup to support the two armies at any time.
On the battlefield, in this way, the Eastern Jin Dynasty's conquests have reached their limit. After all, they are a small and weak country. They can force an army of five to six million with gritted teeth, but food and grass will be a big problem."
Yao Chang smiled and said: "Yes, I have ignored this. Even if the Eastern Jin Dynasty can temporarily recruit a large number of troops, most of their farmland and grain taxes are in the hands of those high-ranking families, and the court's grain reserves are not much, so they raised a large number of soldiers.
, even if we win, the food and grass will be exhausted, because too many troops have been recruited and spring plowing has been missed, there will be a food crisis in the coming year. In this case, a large-scale Northern Expedition is impossible."
Murong Chui said seriously: "So, if we want the Jin army to defeat the Qin army, it is best to eliminate the main force of Fu Jian's Di tribe, but we should not let them win too easily, let alone let them get too much food and baggage, thinking that
Capital for further Northern Expedition. Therefore, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, we still have to find a way to let those high-ranking families and the black emperor create some trouble for Xie An's uncle and nephew."
Yao Chang smiled slightly: "Is King Wu sure he has this ability? Although I know you have spies in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is a bit difficult to shake the Xie family."
Murong Chui sighed, with a sad look in his eyes: "If you want to destroy a country, the best way is to provoke infighting among its upper echelons and destroy the pillars of the country. When the old thief king violently destroyed our country, he let Murong Ping
This traitor harmed me and forced me to retaliate for national calamity, and now he can use this same trick on the Eastern Jin Dynasty."
The corner of Yao Chang's lips curled up: "But Murong Ping was in power in the Yan State back then, and now the power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is in the hands of Xie An. Who can shake him?"
Murong Chui smiled slightly, with a hint of deep meaning at the corner of his mouth: "General Yao, you only know one, but not the other. Although Murong Ping is the traitor who harmed me, if it weren't for the suspicion of Murong Wei, the idiot emperor,
How could he succeed? If we want to make a countermeasure against Fu Jian and ask him to kill Wang Meng or Fu Rong, is it possible?"
Yao Chang smiled without thinking: "So, Sima Yao, Sima Daozi and Wang Guobao are the Murong Wei and Murong Ping of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"
Murong Chui's eyes flashed coldly: "Yes, I have laid a line. After the war, this line should be moved. General Yao, let's go back and prepare well. Remember our agreement, once we launch the restoration of the country,
With Tongguan as the line, we will always be allies!"
Yao Chang smiled "hehe", showing his yellow teeth: "It's a deal!"
