Xie An frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, you absolutely must not!"
Sima Yao's dark face was full of anger: "Xie Shizhong, what do you mean? You also said that Murong Chui's wolfish ambition will never surrender to me, the Jin Dynasty, but wants to take advantage of the opportunity to stand on his own. Since he can't be used by us,
Why should we keep him? Wouldn't it be best to let Fu Jian kill him to avoid future troubles? Are we going to let the Murong clan rebel against Jin and establish themselves on their own and establish the puppet Yan again? "
Xie An lifted his court clothes, knelt down, saluted with both hands, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I think it is better to keep Murong Chui alive at this time than to let Fu Jian kill him. If two tigers fight, one of them will be injured."
, if Murong Chui had not raised his troops, I am afraid that Fu Jian would have quickly put down all the rebels and stabilized the Qin state. By then, the Qin state, which had no internal worries, would march south again. If we want to repeat the Feishui victory, it will not be so easy.
Already."
Sima Yao's expression softened slightly, but his tone was still a bit cold. He raised his hand and said, "Shizhong Xie, please get up first and speak slowly if you have anything to say."
Xie An stood up, still holding his hands together. If he had the wat tablet in his hand at this time, it would be the same as in the court. He looked at Sima Yao and said calmly and seriously: "Your Majesty
, and Murong Chui have always been just using and cooperating with each other. He needs to lead the Qin army to the Jin Dynasty, and let us defeat and destroy the main force of the Qin army. Then he can take advantage of it, and we also need his ventilation.
Reporting the news and secretly adding to the chaos. The population of the Northern Central Plains is several times that of our Jin Dynasty. If it is a unified and powerful country, it will be difficult for our army to stop it with all its strength. Even if it wins, it will be severely weakened and suffer heavy losses."
Sima Yao curled his lips and said: "Thank you for sharing my worries. There is such a mighty Beifu army, and the Huan family in Jingzhou is also loyal to the country. Now it is still chasing the Hu barbarians. Even if there is a rebel in the north.
, can’t we win?”
Xie An smiled slightly and looked at Wang Guobao aside: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. At this time, we should work together to make achievements in the Northern Expedition. However, the Beifu Army alone is not enough for this. We also need all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court.
You can take practical actions to share the worries of the country and the king."
Wang Guobao's face turned red slightly and he didn't dare to answer. Sima Yao said softly: "Xie Shizhong, does this mean that someone is stopping the Northern Expedition? Who on earth is so bold and dares to stop me from the Jin Dynasty?"
The great cause of reconquering the North?”
Xie An smiled and shook his head: "That's not what Wei Chen means. What Wei Chen means is that in the Battle of Feishui, the Qin army was defeated miserably, and although our army won, it also consumed several years of food reserves, and next, we will have to
Rewarding meritorious soldiers is another huge expense, and the national treasury is empty. If we want to make further progress in the Central Plains, we need the noble families in the Sanwu area to do their best for the country."
Sima Yao nodded thoughtfully: "I understand what this means. Alas, during this war, the aristocratic families in Wu donated a large sum of military rations and sent their servant boys to join the army. Now
If you win the battle, not only can you not receive a reward, but you also have to ask for a large sum of money, which may not be appropriate."
Xie An nodded: "Yes, but the Northern Expedition is the foundation of our country. Now the chaos in the north of Qin is beginning to appear, but it is not out of control yet, so we still need people like Murong Chui."
Raise an army and completely disrupt the Qin Kingdom. Only in this way can we have a chance to succeed."
Sima Yao's brows finally relaxed and he nodded with satisfaction: "I see, I misunderstood Xie Shizhong just now. After all, you are experienced in planning for the country and have far-reaching thoughts. Then I will leave this matter entirely to you. If Murong Chui is willing
If he comes to surrender with his army, I will pardon his past sins, record his past achievements, and give him wealth and honor. If he is unwilling to come and submit to our Jin Dynasty, as long as he can raise troops in the north to cause trouble, I, the Jin Dynasty, can take advantage of it.
When I have the opportunity, I can decide what conditions Xie Shizhong needs to give him, and what kind of secret help I need. You can take care of it yourself, and you don’t have to report it to me one by one."
Sima Daozi on the side changed his expression and said: "Brother, this, this seems to be inappropriate. This is related to peace negotiations, and I'm afraid it will still need to be discussed by the high officials in the court."
Sima Yao waved his hand: "I don't think it's necessary. Didn't Shizhong Xie just say it? People talk too much. If the news is leaked, Murong Chui's death will not be regrettable, and it will ruin the great cause of the Northern Expedition of Jin Dynasty. It will be an eternal regret. This
For a while, we should first deal with the aftermath of the Battle of Feishui. On the one hand, we can rest and reorganize the army and reward the meritorious soldiers. On the other hand, we can also save food and grass, recuperate and watch the changes in the north. Once the opportunity comes, we can launch a large force to go north and recover.
My rivers and mountains.”
Xie An directly bowed his arms to his waist and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Holy Ming, long live, long live, long live!"
Although Sima Daozi, Wang Guobao and others on the side were unwilling, they could only follow Xie An and shout long live the mountain.
Sima Yao's face was full of smiles and he was high-spirited. At this moment, Liu Yu and others had entered the square and formed a team. A large number of Qin army prisoners, escorted by infantry and cavalry, began to enter the square.
middle.
Sima Yao curled his lips, looked at the disheveled, shirtless Qin prisoners, and said with a smile: "Are these the elites of the Qin army? They say that the Qin army is invincible and has destroyed countless countries in the past few decades. Let me see,
It's nothing more than that, far less powerful and majestic than the heroes of my Beifu."
Xie An smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, these are not only prisoners on the battlefield, but also the Fu Qin clan who took the opportunity to surrender to me in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. I think it is appropriate to comfort these prisoners to show our benevolence in the Jin Dynasty.
"
Sima Yaoqi asked: "Is there anyone else who surrenders voluntarily?"
Xie An nodded and pointed to the front of the team. There was a man in civilian clothes. He was not as naked as ordinary prisoners. He wore a high crown and had a somewhat scholarly temperament. However, he had a high nose and deep eyes. At first glance, he looked like a foreign race.
The person said: "This man is the Qingzhou governor of the Qin State, Baron Le'an, and he is Fu Lang. After the Qin State's defeat in Feishui, our army took advantage of the opportunity to pursue and attack Pengcheng in the north of Huaihe. As the Qingzhou governor, Fu Lang took the initiative to attack
The general of our Beifu Army, Gao Su, surrendered, so he also appeared at the prisoner presentation meeting today. Because the incident happened suddenly, Fu Lang only arrived in Pengcheng yesterday, and the minister had no time to report to His Majesty, so he had to let him in
Appearing at this prisoner presentation meeting, his life or death will be decided by His Majesty."
Sima Yao smiled and said: "The governor of a state has directly asked for his surrender. Wouldn't Xie Shizhong not report such a major event? That's all, you will handle the major military matters together. According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, Fu Lang will be specially punished.
Forgive me and be promoted to a higher rank."
Wang Guobao suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I would like to ask Xie Shizhong, why Fu Lang, as a member of the Qin clan, surrendered on his own initiative? Aren't you afraid of being suspected of surrendering?"
