The black robe suddenly laughed, and that rough and low voice echoed in the whole hall. Murong Lan frowned, looked at the black robe, and said coldly: "The Imperial Master seems to disapprove of my suggestion. , what’s the problem?”
The black robe put away his smile and looked at Murong Lan with a sinister look: "The Kingdom of Wei is powerful. With the ability of the late emperor, even the national power of Dayan when it was the strongest is no match. Even in the battle of Baisi, Princess Lan, you will fight in person Participation, but in the end it was a total defeat. Where do you get the confidence to win a war with Wei at this time? Are you familiar with the powerful Lord of Wubao in Hebei? If we really want to go to war, how many helpers can you draw? "
Murong Lan said calmly: "As long as the direction of the war is determined, we can naturally follow this goal. The Northern Wei Dynasty has been exacting levies and expropriations in Hebei for many years. The people are in dire straits and uprisings continue. What we have to do is not to fight immediately, but to recuperate. As long as we can do this, the Han people in Hebei will definitely take the initiative to surrender, and when they get what people want, they will set out to conquer Hebei, and they will definitely succeed in one fell swoop!"
The black robe shook his head: "If it were as easy as you said, Dayan would not have collapsed back then, and we would not be trapped here now. The terrain of Hebei is thousands of miles of plains, and the cavalry can gallop back and forth, which is extremely suitable for cavalry-based missions. The Northern Wei army is fighting, and you just said that there is internal injustice in the Jin State. Liu Yu has many enemies. This is when he is at his weakest. As long as we can work together to kill his Jiangbei immigration plan, it will cause a stir in the Jin State. A series of internal fights, at the very least, can serve as a warning to the Jin State not to think of becoming an enemy of my country, Dayan!"
Murong Chao's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "National Master, do you have any good ideas? Tell me quickly."
The black robe smiled slightly and raised his white eyebrows lightly: "As your Majesty just said, Liu Yu immigrated to the north of the Yangtze River and stationed his army in order to prepare for the attack on our country, the Yan Dynasty. I am afraid that even Princess Lan cannot deny this, even if Liu Yu himself has another There are many promises, but with the character of the Beifu sergeant who is eager to make achievements, once the troops are sufficient and the food and grass are abundant, he will definitely take the initiative to ask for a battle. It is impossible for Liu Yu to act against the will of the army. If he really does not attack, Liu Yi will , someone like He Wuji will take the opportunity to replace him, Princess Lan, are you putting the fate of the country on the promise of a man, are you too trusting?!"
Murong Lan gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Yu has always made promises, and he will never let himself be ignored. The plan to immigrate to Jiangbei is more to shake the foundation of the Wudi family, to transfer the manpower and material resources from Jiangnan to Jiangbei, and to It’s not to attack Dayan!”
Heipao said coldly: "But this plan is very unfavorable to Dayan. If Jiangbei has enough food and grass and is rich enough, it can support the resources needed for the Northern Expedition. And such a large piece of fat is placed on us Isn't that what I'm looking at now, teasing and tempting the Xianbei men who are prone to robbery? Your Majesty, do you think those tribes and soldiers of Dayan in the south can really obey the orders and not plunder the Huaihe River?"
Murong Chao shook his head: "The Yan Kingdom has always had more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, but because of the limited output of a single state, it is often unable to provide food and wages, and the soldiers need to solve it themselves. Over the past year, the border has There is no big war, but there are constant small frictions, and I can't completely restrain them. Since we can't pay the military, we also have to restrain the military discipline. Auntie, this is really difficult!"
Murong Lan said solemnly: "In this case, Ah Chao, you should withdraw your troops and return to farming, and let the soldiers go back to farming. Now the large areas of grain land in Qilu are deserted and no one is farming, but at the same time, you must maintain this army of more than 200,000. It’s totally unnecessary!”
The black robe said coldly: "There is the Jin State in the south and the Northern Wei Dynasty in the north. Two tigers and wolves are staring at you. Now you want Dayan to disarm? Not to mention the 70,000 defenders in the north, let's talk about the 60,000 defenders in the south. Troops and horses, are you going to withdraw as soon as you say? After withdrawing, what should the Jin army do if they take the opportunity to make the Northern Expedition?"
Murong Lan gritted his teeth: "With the natural dangers of Daxian Mountain, leaving 20,000 troops is enough. If the Jin army really invades in large numbers, we can recruit more troops. It will be too late!"
The black robe sneered: "But we Xianbei soldiers are not in the habit of farming with peace of mind. For hundreds of years, Xianbei men have always believed that force is better than hard work. You want Liu Yu to prove his sincerity and make sure he doesn't come If he invades us, then he should be asked to pay one million dan of grain and grass every year to supply our military supplies in the south, Princess Lan, this is not too much to ask for!"
Murong Lan laughed angrily: "Isn't this too much? His own army was short of food, so he asked Jiangbei to immigrate to farm and reclaim wasteland. Last time, all the grain reserves in Jiangbei, one million shi, were given to us, which was regarded as an apology for Liu Jingxuan. Zhili, this time you ask him to give you one million a year, are you trying to force him to break off diplomatic relations and start a war?"
The black robe smiled slightly: "If he doesn't give it, then we just go and get it. We need to teach the Jin State a lesson and let them know that immigrating to the north of the Yangtze River is a dead end. Any attempt to pose a threat to Dayan will inevitably be punished. Our resolute counterattack!”
Gongsun Wulou gave a high-five excitedly: "Okay, that's what we should do!" Murong Chao also smiled and nodded.
Murong Lan said loudly: "Absolutely not! This will mean that we voluntarily break the contract. This will really give Liu Yu a perfect excuse to attack us!"
Murong Chao sneered: "I'm really afraid that he won't come! I didn't teach him a lesson last time. This time, I will definitely let them see Dayan's true strength!"
The black robe smiled and said: "What I want is your majesty's momentum. However, this time I only need to give Jin a small punishment and don't overly stimulate Liu Yu. As a punishment, he will run Jiangbei and organize the army to gather grain without our consent." In response, we need to let the people of Jin have a longer memory. The royal band was given to Hou Qin. As your majesty, you cannot be disrespectful to the music for a day. Therefore, we can attack Donghai County, break several of his counties, and capture some Han people, come back to train as the new royal band. In this way, we will not have a war with Jin, and we can also warn Liu Yu about the consequences of going against us!"
Murong Lan stamped her feet angrily: "The consequence? The consequence is that Liu Yu will definitely bring an army to take revenge! You don't understand Liu Yu at all. He loves the people as much as he loves his family. The last thing in his life is to see Han people being bullied by others, so blatantly Attacking states and counties and plundering the population will lead to a full-scale war!"
Heipao said coldly: "I just said that this will trigger a series of reactions from Jin State. Liu Yu has previously guaranteed the safety of immigrants from Jiangbei, but as long as we fight quickly and retreat quickly, and come back before he counterattacks, then This proves that his protection of Jiangbei is nothing but a lie. The aristocratic family has suffered losses and will no longer trust him. They will definitely want to withdraw to Jiangnan. When the time comes, what Liu Yu has to do is not revenge on the Northern Expedition, but how to appease the noble family. La!"
