Chapter 5429: After Qin wants to achieve peace, it takes Shu first
He Lanmin's face changed: "Are you going to destroy the Later Qin first, and then attack the entire Northern Wei Dynasty, even the Monan Grassland of the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, as you said, the Later Qin and the Northern Wei will form allies under my pressure. I will not allow the Later Qin, which has openly been an enemy of our Jin Dynasty, to continue to lend roads to the Jin Dynasty."
The Northern Wei Dynasty allowed the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty to enter the Central Plains and attack the country everywhere.
Jin's Yuzhou and Yanzhou threatened Qingzhou. Last time, the Later Qin sent out the Qiang Di and Zahu cavalry from the Longyou tribe. They only had more than 10,000 troops, which made our Jingzhou troops very uncomfortable.
It took many years to eliminate them, and..."
Speaking of this, Liu Yu frowned deeply: "The miscellaneous cavalry led by Gou Lin also received the protection and assistance of the Tiandao Alliance. They hid in the Jingzhou area, which we thought was safe, for more than a year. This
This is a very terrible thing. It shows the collusion between the inside and outside, plus Sima Guofan
These rebels also have our internal forces secretly assisting them. Therefore, once a large number of Northern Wei cavalry comes from the territory of Later Qin to the Central Plains, using their high mobility, and then getting support from various forces within our Jin Dynasty, then
Our Jin Dynasty will never have peace."
"So, before I completely invade the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, I must first destroy the Later Qin Dynasty, at least occupy their Central Plains land, block it with the Yellow River, and then seal Tongguan to prevent any hostile army from directly entering the Central Plains and threatening us.
as for the flanks of
Whether and how to capture the Guanzhong area of the Later Qin Dynasty will be considered later. After all, entering the Guanzhong area means destroying the Later Qin Dynasty. They will definitely resist desperately, and the Ganliang countries may also stand.
Fight us on the side of Hou Qin."
"Only when we are fully prepared will we start the Guanzhong Campaign. Before that, we can consider dispatching some permanent legions during the period of recuperation to capture the Central Plains first, and restore the old capital of Luoyang on the one hand.
Tell the world that the Northern Expedition of the Jin Dynasty will not stop. On the other hand, we can also take advantage of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains to include the entire area south of the Yellow River and east of Tongguan, except for the small piece of Yanzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
At the same time, legions from various places were transferred to the Central Plains area in the name of attacking the Later Qin Dynasty, where they stored military supplies, gathered troops, and threatened to invade Guanzhong. But in fact, they could cross the river at any time and attack Bingzhou all the way, and Qingzhou all the way.
Taking Hebei, at this time, as long as the Hou Qin army in the direction of Tongguan cannot attack, it will be very safe to cross the river and go north. Even if the battle is unfavorable, it can be withdrawn smoothly."
At this point, Liu Yu laughed: "There is also Qiaoshu in the west. After wiping out the Tianshi Dao, I should deal with them first. These rats in Shu took advantage of the civil war in the Jin Dynasty.
I have long wanted to avenge the Mao family by attacking a loyal general of the Mao family and secretly living in Yizhou, Shu territory. However, due to constant internal and external troubles, I have been delaying it until now.
After defeating the demon thieves, our army in the Jingzhou direction, plus the army returning from the expedition to Lingnan, can withdraw half of it and take Bashu first. This time, I believe there will be no force to stop us. Mrs. Helan, your Fengming will
I have been collecting intelligence on Yizhou for a while. If I send troops at this time, what do you think the chances of victory are, and will there be any movements in the Later Qin Dynasty?"
He Lanmin said calmly: "According to my intelligence, the last time Qiao Shu sent troops to Jingzhou to attack Baidi City was actually the order of Later Qin. Since the last time Liu Jing declared an attack on Shu and Hou Qin sent troops to rescue him, Qiao Shu became
The vassal states of the Later Qin followed the advice in the true sense. Even Huan Qian, who had defected to the Later Qin before, said he was going to recruit old troops from other places, but was placed in Shu by Yao Xing. As a result, this guy did not recruit the old troops from Jingzhou, but directly made friends with them.
The famous people in Shu bought people's hearts and angered Qiao Shu and imprisoned him in Longge. If it weren't for Hou Qin's face, I would have killed this guy who wanted to turn his back on guests."
Liu Yu sneered and said: "Huan Qian wants to imitate Liu Bei. He will first turn against the enemy in Yizhou and then counterattack Jingzhou. After all, Qiao Shu seems to be much easier to deal with than our Jingzhou army. Besides, with Yao Xing as his backing,
Even if Qiao Zong falls out, he doesn't dare to kill him, he is still very shrewd in his calculations."
He Lanmin nodded: "The Hou Qin Dynasty did not simply want to be a good person. They aided Qiao Shu, but also wanted to take the opportunity to control Hanzhong to deter the Di people in Qiu Chi to the west of Hanzhong. Although Qiu Chi is not famous, the mountains are high and dangerous.
The people were strong and warlike. Yang Ding, a famous general in Qiu Chi during the former Qin Dynasty, was Fu Jian's son-in-law. He fought with the Later Qin for many years. Although he was defeated and died in the battle, Qiu Chi was still the enemy of the Later Qin for many years and fought head-on.
But just returning to his hometown in the mountainous area and holding on to the danger gave Yao Xing a huge headache."
"So, while Yao Xing saved Qiao Shu and sold his favor, he could also take the opportunity to garrison Hanzhong and combine the power of the Shu army to suppress Qiu Chi and prevent him from invading Guanzhong. This is Yao Xing's real plan. After all,
, if the Mao family had always controlled Yizhou and Hanzhong, they could cut off the connection between Ganliang and Guanzhong in the west by connecting Qiuchi, and they could go directly out of Qishan in the east and take Guanzhong, which would pose a huge threat to the Later Qin Dynasty. Therefore, the Qin Dynasty
It is inevitable for Shu to join forces. If you send troops to attack Qiaoshu again, I am afraid you still have to be prepared for the Qin army to come for reinforcements."
Liu Yu frowned: "What about the people of Shu? Do they all support the Qiao clan? If I send troops to attack, will they turn to our Jin army like the powerful Han people in Nanyan?"
He Lanmin curled up his lips and said: "The situation in Shu is very special. The local families are often large indigenous families that have been settled for hundreds or even thousands of years. Since the pre-Qin period, they have transformed from tribal nobles into big families, and then passed down the generations.
Although several groups of immigrants came to Shu in later generations and merged with the locals to form new families, in general, Shu was a very closed and exclusive place. The local wealthy families intermarryed with each other and joined forces with each other.
, if outsiders come in and suppress them with strong soldiers and horses, they may lie dormant for a while, but as soon as the foreign rulers’ military strength is weak, they will take the opportunity to join forces to fight back. The tragedy of the Mao family is the best proof.”
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, the Mao family has been in Shu for decades as garrison generals. They have also promoted Qiao Zong, Hou Liang and other local rich families as military and political officials, and they usually seem to get along well.
Yes, all the benefits that should be given to them were given to them. Unexpectedly, once the order was issued to suppress the rebellion in Shu, these thieves were allowed to incite the morale of the army, saying that they wanted the Shu people to leave their homes and die, and the mutiny was successful."
