Doupeng said coldly: "This is not something that needs to be predicted in the future. Liu Yu is a person who wants to make great achievements. He is not the kind of person who just wants to be in power and then start enjoying and benefiting future generations. We were
They misjudged this and mistook him for someone like Huan Wen. They thought that the position of a noble family or even the throne could satisfy him, so they helped him fight against or balance the world of the Black Hand. This is our lesson."
"For you, great monk, this is also a lesson. You think that you can make Liu Yu stop with threats and dare not destroy Nanyan. You think that letting Yao Xing, the leader of the Later Qin Dynasty, give Liu Yu some face and give him some territory
It would allow the two countries to have a good relationship and cease fighting. But what is the result? Liu Yu has destroyed Nanyan, and now he has basically pacified the Tianshi Dao. It is impossible for a small country like Qiaoshu to satisfy his ambition for success.
Once these places are completely captured, the next target will inevitably be Hou Qin, who has been openly opposing him for these years. When the time comes, what will you do to stop Liu Yu?"
Kumarajiva gritted his teeth: "Can these three points you mentioned be able to stop Liu Yu? I think it is better for Da Qin to send troops now and join forces with Northern Wei to capture all the land north of the Yangtze River in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The strength convinced Liu Yu and made him dare not have the intention of the Northern Expedition again, just like Yao Xing. If it hadn't been for the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Chaibi, how could Yao Xing have put away his ambition to conquer the world and unify Liuhe?
"
Doupeng laughed: "Do you think the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Later Qin Dynasty are of the same mind and are willing to join forces to fight against the enemy? Don't think that Tuoba Si married Yao Xing's sister, so the two countries will be able to wear the same pants. If they really want to join forces, they will not
Hu Xia and He Lianbobo must be eliminated first, not Liu Yu. Why do you think the Northern Wei Dynasty let this son of an enemy with a bloody feud go and never took the initiative to eliminate him?"
Kumarajiva suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball, and sighed: "The Northern Wei Dynasty is indeed very deep, and they are not aligned with the Great Qin. They are also happy to see that Hu Xia can consume and bring down the powerful Great Qin. Sishan
Just watch the tiger fight. Places such as Hebei and Bingzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty were not peaceful and needed time to calm down and digest. Rouran in Mobei also became their enemy. In addition, Tuoba Si died unexpectedly, and the foundation of Tuoba heir was unstable.
, in recent years, they have focused more on internal rectification and quelling rebellions everywhere, and have temporarily stopped the momentum of expansion that they had ten years ago. They are willing to marry and repair with us in order to reduce one enemy."
Doupeng sneered and said: "You can see this very clearly. They will not send troops until the fundamental interests of the Northern Wei Dynasty are threatened, that is, when the fundamental areas of Hebei or Monan are attacked. Last time the Southern Wei Dynasty
When Yan was destroyed, the Northern Wei Dynasty sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight. Even if Liu Yu really attacked Guanzhong, the Northern Wei Dynasty was unlikely to directly send troops to join forces with you. The most they could do was cross the Yellow River south to cut off Liu Yu's logistics and provide strategic support.
At the same time, it is just enough to gain enough practical benefits for yourself. Besides, the military strength and combat effectiveness of the Northern Wei Dynasty are much stronger than that of your Qin country. Even Hu Xia dare not provoke them easily. Do you think you, the Later Qin Dynasty, have the qualifications to join forces on an equal footing with others?"
Kumarajiva sternly said: "You look down on us, Great Qin, too much. After all, we are a huge country thousands of miles away and have hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if Liu Yu unified the south, his strength would at most be comparable to ours."
, Even if our Da Qin deals with Liu Yu alone, we have nothing to fear. It would be best if the Northern Wei Dynasty can help, and it doesn’t matter if we don’t help.”
Doupeng smiled and waved his hand: "What's the use of being tough here? If Da Qin is really so strong, why can't even Hu Xia be eliminated? Yao Xing has personally conquered several times, but he has never been able to win.
, I even almost died on the battlefield. If I can't beat him, I can't beat him, so why bother? Just like I have to admit now, in the south, our Tiandao Alliance can't confront Liu Yu head-on, so we can only go underground.
The three methods mentioned above are used to engage in political struggle. This is also of reference significance for your Qin State."
Kumarajiva said coldly: "Well, tell me, how can I use the methods you used to deal with Liu Yu to deal with Helian Bobo? I can bribe his generals and provoke his allies to rebel.
, or can he make the barbarians on the Hetao grassland no longer believe in him?"
Doupeng said calmly: "In fact, I have been helping you think of a way. Helian is so ambitious that he causes killings everywhere and destroys world peace. The most important thing is that he has now become the great enemy of Qin and the enemy of your great monk.
That is the enemy of our Tiandao Alliance. If he destroys Hou Qin, he will definitely not be as kind to you, the great monk, as Yao Xing. At least it will prove that your great monk's magic power is not enough to protect the country, and he may be used in the future.
Tribal shamans come to replace Buddhism, which is definitely something I don’t want to see.”
Kumarajiva's old face turned slightly red: "Okay, I don't want to hear this. Please tell me quickly if you can help me. I've never tried asking my disciples to go to the grasslands to spread the Dharma and encourage people to do good.
But basically there is no return. Those barbaric Tiefu Xiongnu in Hetao killed my disciples and arrogantly said that if the Buddha appeared, how could the Qin army be vulnerable? Alas, not only did they fail to educate these
Barbarian, on the contrary, many believers in the Guanzhong area have been shaken. Is there any way you can help me? Even if I can win one or two battles with Hu Xia, it would be good."
Doupeng nodded and said: "The problem of the Qin army is mainly its lack of mobility. Although the Later Qin Dynasty originally started from the Qiang tribe, over the past few decades, it has already assimilated with the Han people and got used to settling down and farming.
The method of warfare is mainly based on the conscripted Han infantry, supplemented by Qiang spears and large shields forming a vehicle formation, and combined with a small number of rangers. This type of tactics is now difficult to use in field battles as the Qiang's military force has deteriorated.
We encountered the Huxia Huns cavalry that were highly mobile and came and went without a trace. In addition, there were many cities in Lingbei and the battle line was too long. We had to defend everywhere, so people would be divided and surrounded everywhere. If we sent troops to rescue them, they would be attacked on the road.
The Hu Xia cavalry suddenly concentrated their forces to fight for reinforcements. In the past few years, they have lost troops, generals, divisions and cities. Isn't this the case?"
Kumarajiva sighed: "You are very accurate, but we have also seen these things, but there is nothing we can do. If we concentrate the army to fight, the Hu Xia army will go far away without fighting, or they will stop fighting when we go deep into the Hetao grassland.
Our logistics supplies were suddenly attacked when our army was short of food, clothing, and even drinking water. As a result, our entire army was wiped out several times. Good generals like Yang Fosong and Qi Nan were also defeated. Do we have to give up?
Have all the cities in Lingbiao retreated into Guanzhong?" (End of this chapter)
