Zhuque said disapprovingly: "After all, there are three elite troops stationed in Jiangbei now. Zhu Lingshi, Tan Daoji and Wang Zhongde are all good generals, and their subordinates are also newly trained Beifu elites with very strong combat effectiveness. Plus Yang Muzhi is in Pengcheng. With such a force, It’s enough to fend off the invading barbarians.”
Xuanwu shook his head: "What is more terrifying than Hulu now is Tao Yuanming's mouth. I don't know what his intentions were. He resigned after his mission, and then he and his disciples ran around Jiangbei, instigating He tried every means to arouse the fear and anger of the new immigrants. Liu Muzhi originally left Zhenjiangbei, but he was restrained. Now that the fat man is not here, he has no scruples anymore, and even went directly to Guangling City to serve as the governor of Nanyanzhou. Go and ask for your life.”
Qinglong frowned: "Isn't Jiangbei immigration implemented very well? In a few months, hundreds of thousands of people have settled there and the land has been divided. What can happen to him?"
Xuanwu sighed: "No matter how good the plan is, there will always be loopholes in its execution. Land and conditions cannot be exactly the same in all parts of Jiangbei. Even if the land is divided into the same size, some will be fertile and some will not. Plus It was impossible for Liu Muzhi to cover the differences in water sources, irrigation, types of grain, and the process of dividing land. After all, people and the initial grain and farm tools still had to be produced by each family, and in the end there would be superiority and inferiority. The difference is that a family that is powerful in Wudi in the south of the Yangtze River can also occupy the best places in the north of the Yangtze River, and vice versa. Even if the Jade Emperor descends to earth, it is impossible to solve this contradiction."
Bai Hu nodded: "Yes, and there will also be contradictions and conflicts between these new immigrants and the former military settlements. In the past few months, there have been two to three hundred such conflicts reported to the government. Who knows?" I don’t want to suddenly have so many strange neighbors around me, especially since these neighbors will not pay taxes for ten years. Originally, many military households in Jiangbei thought that they had been guarding the country’s borders and had made great contributions, but in the end they were not as good as these newcomers. people. However, the new immigrants feel that the best places are occupied by the original military households, and they can only pick up what others left, and they will feel cheated. Before the crops are harvested next year, these small conflicts will and conflicts will continue. What Tao Yuanming wants to take advantage of is the contradiction caused by the initial implementation of this policy and insufficient adjustment."
Suzaku gritted his teeth: "I understand, he just wants to provoke and incite this kind of hatred. After all, Jiangbei is special. Both the original military households and the current new immigrants are afraid deep down that the Hulu will really attack. I hope With others in front, you must at least have a chance to escape. The land to the south of Guangling is probably wanted by everyone, and the further north you go, Pengcheng and further north to North Xuzhou, even if it is thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, No one wants to go there.”
Xuanwu sighed: "Those places were originally the many Lianghuai villages left by Liu Laozhi. There were not many farmers on the plains, and most of them occupied the mountains as docks for first-line warning and resistance. But last time Liu Jingxuan caused trouble. After that, Liu Yu compensated all the grain stored here to Nanyan in exchange for their retreat, and the sergeants in the village also followed Liu Jingxuan southward, and then went on the westward expedition, which was equivalent to taking away the defense here, causing a series of reactions. , the former governor of Northern Xuzhou, many of the rebel general Liu Gai’s old troops chose to flee, and the northern border can be said to be in name only.”
Qinglong frowned: "What is Liu Yu doing? Just leaving the northern border undefended and engaging in immigration? Does he really think that relying on some so-called non-aggression agreement with the former emperor of Nanyan , can we protect the peace of Jiangbei?"
Zhuque sneered and said, "I have told you before that Liu Yu deliberately wanted to lure Nan Yan to invade, so that he would not break the agreement. However, he is not stupid enough to actually let large-scale immigrants go to the north of Pengcheng to farm. , Jiangbei's previous defense system was not established by him. He could not command Liu Gai's troops and Yang Muzhi's troops, so he asked the three generals to take the newly trained more than 10,000 troops and horses to the front line of Guangling, and defend San'a by the way. , these front points in Yuzhou can minimize the losses when Nanyan attacks. If we really want to fight, it will be Yang Muzhi's Pengcheng soldiers and horses in the front, buying time for him to mobilize his troops behind."
Xuanwu nodded: "Master Zhuque has made a good analysis. Liu Yu's immigration has actually only gone to the south of Pengcheng and the north of Pengcheng. He wants to give up at any time, and he is basically in an undefended state. It's just that , now that the Hulu have not yet arrived, Tao Yuanming is preaching these things everywhere, and even intimidating the new immigrants, saying that Liu Yu is planning to send them further to the north, to the Shanyang area north of Pengcheng. Many people are now frightened. , and even the whole village and whole countryside petitioned for help, wanting to return to the south."
Bai Hu curled his lips in disdain: "There are actually people who believe these rumors. As long as we catch some of the guys spreading the rumors, even Tao Yuanming, and detain them first, they will naturally be defeated."
Xuanwu sighed: "Things are not that simple. When he was going back to the Twelve Counties of Nanyang, Liu Yu himself publicized Tao Yuanming's achievements everywhere. At that time, he might also have intended to let Tao Yuanming participate in the Jiangbei immigration. Now He shot himself in the foot. The hero he built with his own hands is now everywhere in Jiangbei investigating the so-called suffering of people's livelihood and publicizing the risks of Hulu cavalry going south. What he said are not entirely rumors, but these things are enough to shake people's hearts. Now that Liu Yu has withdrawn the capital of Liu Mu in order to deal with Liu Yi, he has more reason to say everywhere that Liu Yu is ready to abandon Jiangbei and no longer care about the lives of these immigrants and military households."
Suzaku laughed: "It seems that Liu Yu has really met his opponent this time. Liu Yi is making trouble in the capital, and Tao Yuanming is causing trouble in Jiangbei. Now without the help of Xie Daoyun and Wang Miaoyin, I will see how long he can last."
Qinglong said calmly: "I believe this little trouble is nothing to Liu Yu. Based on my understanding of Liu Yu, maybe it was intentional to indulge Tao Yuanming in causing trouble in Jiangbei."
At this time, the other three people's eyes lit up, and they said in unison: "What do you mean, please make it clear."
Qinglong smiled and said: "Actually, the contradictions that will arise when immigrating to Jiangbei are not surprising at all. Before formulating this policy, I believe Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi would have discussed various possible situations many times. Based on Liu Yu's Be careful, if you want to immigrate to Jiangbei, but leave the northern border undefended, there is really only one possibility, and that is to stimulate Nanyan and make them really think that they can gain huge benefits by going south to fight. Only in this way will Liu Yu I believe that Liu Yu will not wait until three years later to collect enough food and have a large population before taking action. Perhaps, after resolving the power struggle with Liu Yi, he can drive Liu Yi out of Jianjian. After Kang, he is about to take action!"
