On the boat, there is a man standing on the bow. He is tall and slender, wearing loose clothes and a wide belt. Against the backdrop of the river, he looks a bit fairy-like.
Under the watchful eyes of thousands of tigers and wolves, he calmly disembarked from the boat, passed through the forest of spears, and walked straight towards Yahu. However, the two children beside him were already trembling and could not accompany him, so they stayed on the riverside.
"The people in Jiangdong are extraordinary." Li Yue admired sincerely.
Although the Jiangdong nobles are not good at playing with knives, they are versatile and have unparalleled appearance and temperament.
He is in his thirties, with a face as bright as the moon, a handsome demeanor, and a jade-like temperament.
"Xie An pays homage to His Majesty."
"But Xie Anshi, the most popular person in Jiangzuo? I have heard about his name for a long time. If you come, please give me a seat!" Li Yue was shocked, and he was indeed a "big shot".
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie An raised his hand.
The guards brought two straw mats and placed them on the green grass.
Li Yue and Xie An sat opposite each other on the ground, surrounded by soldiers forming two rows.
"What's An Shi doing here?" Li Yue asked knowingly.
Unexpectedly, Xie An was not afraid of the stage, "His Majesty's troops marched five hundred miles across, penetrated the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, and drank from the Yangtze River. His martial arts skills were extremely high, and he was powerful in the world. However, when the moon was full, the flat water would overflow. This battle lasted for more than four months. I am here to invite your Majesty to return to Yecheng."
"Return to Yecheng? Now that all the elite troops in Jiangdong are gone, I only need to cross the river to take Jiankang directly. Why should we retreat? I am already building warships. In one month, we can go south!"
There was nothing, so it was naturally impossible for Li Yue to retreat.
"This is for the sake of the officers and soldiers of the Liang Army. It is June today and the Jianghuai River is sweltering. Your Majesty is a northerner. If you are not used to the water and soil of the Jianghuai River, you will definitely suffer from epidemic diseases. In the past, Wei Wu in Chibi lost three to four out of ten people due to epidemic diseases. Your Majesty should pay more attention to it." Be on guard.”
Xie An spoke without any anger, neither impatiently nor impatiently, but very convincing.
Li Yue's heart moved. Just be happy about this battle and forget about this incident.
Since ancient times, the biggest problem when the north annexed the south was not only the Yangtze River natural chasm, but also another real problem was the epidemic.
Once it becomes popular, not to mention 34 out of 10, it will be available in 67 out of 10 people.
In history, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty attacked the Linyi Kingdom. The Sui army was invincible on the battlefield. They did not die from the enemy's weapons, but most of them died from the disease. Even the general Liu Fang died of the disease...
Liyang's army plus the people totaled five to six hundred thousand people. They lacked food and clothing, and they had just experienced a war. Given time, they would be infected with the plague.
On Black Cloud Mountain, Li Yue had seen the severity of the plague.
However, although he thought so in his heart, he said: "Then I will make a quick decision and cross the river in three days."
Xie An still looked calm, "I'm sorry to say this bluntly, but Daliang has missed the best opportunity to attack Jiangdong. If after the victory in Hefei, he sends his army straight to Liyang, quarries for rocks, and crosses the river when Jiangdong is unprepared, there is indeed a three-point chance of victory." , but now, the opportunity has been missed, Your Majesty has not seen the warships gathering on the Yangtze River and the east of the Yangtze River?"
After the victory in Hefei, all Li Yue could think about was intercepting Huan Wen, but he really didn't think of this level.
But then again, Huan Wen's navy and Jiangdong navy are still there. Even if Li Yue crosses the Yangtze River, he will die. As long as Jiankang puts up a little resistance, Liang's army will never return.
Li Yue did not dare to bet that Sima Dan would surrender without a fight like Liu Chan.
Deng Aina was a desperado, sixty or seventy years old, wrapped in a blanket and jumped off the cliff...
Jiangdong has not reached the point where the oil is exhausted. Objectively speaking, Huan Wen's Gengxu soil breakup is quite effective, with stable people and sufficient money and food.
Li Yue stared at Xie An. If he didn't come up with something real today, he would never achieve his goal.
Looking at Jiangdong, Xie An is actually a higher-level being than Huan Wen.
Historically, Huan Wen had already broken the foundation of the Sima family, and he was only one step away from it, but he was consumed by Xie An.
"Come here, give me some wine!" Li Yue waved his hand.
The bodyguard brought a jar of fine wine that had been prepared, prepared wine utensils, and poured a bottle for Xie An.
It was originally intended for celebration, but I didn't expect to use it in advance.
Li Yue raised the bottle with one hand and said in respect, "Like Anshi, how many people are there in Jiangdong?"
Xie An responded with both hands, "An is a wandering crane in the clouds. He has no intention of pursuing an official career. He is not as good as the princes in the court. If anything happens to him, he is like An, and he is in the mountains, hills and swamps."
"Haha, Anshi is being too modest. In my opinion, there is no one as good as you in Jiangsu!" Li Yue drank it in one gulp.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary..." Xie An's hand shook slightly, and a few drops of fine wine came out of the bottle.
After drinking a glass of wine, Li Yue showed a murderous look on his face, "What your Excellency just said is true. The epidemic and the Yangtze River are both natural chasms. However, I can station elite troops in the north of the Yangtze River, recruit Jianghuai brave men, and build warships. Jiankang is close at hand. Why refuse?"
I can't attack the Yangtze River now, but I can hang above Jiankang's head every day.
Jiangdong can defend for a day, a month, or even a year, but if he is so worried every day, how can Jiangdong survive?
How can the nobles still be so romantic and happy?
This is by no means alarmist. The North has been building warships for many years. If we wait two or three years, the warships will not be too far away.
Jiankang is Jiangdong's biggest weakness.
Xie An breathed out a breath of alcohol, but he was still so calm and composed, "Your Majesty, please don't forget that Liaodong, Bingzhou, and Guanzhong are all in the hands of the Hu people. The national power of Liang is pouring into the Jianghuai River. I'm afraid the north will not be so peaceful. After this After a major defeat, Jiangdong will be unable to make a northern expedition within ten years, but the barbarians in the north have intentions of getting involved in Guandong, so your Majesty must not slack off."
The Liang Kingdom also had the same problem as the Liang Kingdom. The Central Plains were surrounded by enemies on all sides, and they relied on force to overwhelm the foreign barbarians.
Murong Ke, Murong Chui, and Fu Jian were not ordinary people. Even Tuoba Shi Yijian often had the intention of going south.
Xie An really lived up to his reputation. He directly hit the key point of Liang Guo in a few words, but he still had a tone that was thinking about Liang Guo, making it difficult for people to find fault, and unknowingly making people feel good about him, so he didn't want to refute.
"With this battle, within five years, no matter Fu Jian, Murong Ke, Tuoba or even Yijian, they will dare to move. Five years is enough for me to travel north and south!" Li Yue was not beguiled by Xie An's words.
"Your Majesty is ambitious and admirable, but in five years, Liaodong and Guanzhong will become more and more powerful, and who can make a final say in the affairs of the world? Back then, Shi Zhao unified the northern kingdom and had millions of people. Two were defeated by Yan, and three were defeated. Defeated by Liang, Shi Hu died, all the disciples killed each other, Ran Min gained power, the northern land was reduced to a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, didn't it take four or five years for His Majesty to rise to power?"
Xie Mo moved his sleeves and his eyes suddenly became deep.
From the perspective of Jiangdong, although the Liang Kingdom was strong, it was not as strong as Shile Shihu. The northern forces rose and fell alternately, and the changes were great in five years.
Jiangdong is not without the ability to fight back.
Xie An said the cruelest words in the calmest tone.
Sure enough, Li Yue was no match for his talk. As long as the Jiangdong Navy was here, Xie An would have the confidence to talk at length.
Li Yue simply took retreat as an opportunity to advance: "In that case, your Excellency, please come back!"
Since Jiang Dong is so stubborn, why are you here to talk about it?
