"The life and death of Jiangdong depends on Xiangyang. It must not be lost. At this time, we must give up the hatred of the same enemy!" Xi Chao's mouth became angry in anger.
At this time, Huan Wen is still standing still in Wuchang, which is tantamount to handing over Xiangyang. "Xiangyang city is strong and guarded by Langzi. How can it be broken in a moment? I have ordered the Beifu army to support. Biaozhi and Xie An both I refused on the grounds of protecting Jiankang.”
It was not that Huan Wen could not see the crisis of the situation, but this matter happened to be in the middle of a game with the Jiankang court. The court wanted to use the battle of Xiangyang to consume Huan Wen, and Huan Wen also wanted to use this battle to consume the Beifu army.
In the end, no one was willing to rush to Xiangyang's aid.
And Huan Wen also has a deeply hidden thought in his heart, that is, if Xiangyang is lost, with the troops he has, he will still be an unshakable force in Jiangdong. If he pounces on him and fights with Liang Jun in a bloody battle, both sides will lose in the end, but he will no longer be able to control it. The situation in Jiangdong cannot be tolerated.
There are lessons learned from Zu Ti, Su Jun, Zhou Qi, Tao Kan, Zu Yue and others who risked their lives for Jiangdong. They would either be angry to death, be exterminated, or retire. With Huan Wen's current situation, once Without the 20,000 men at hand, the people from Jiangdong would immediately pounce on him and devour him alive.
If we take a step back, even if we lose the position, as long as we have soldiers in hand, the outcome will not be too bad.
There is no way, this is the deep-rooted power rule since the two Jin Dynasties. Huan Wen relied on this set of rules to sit in Jingzhou and finally took control of Jiangdong. Now he is also subject to this set of rules.
"My lord, please don't be confused. Without Xiangyang and Jiangdong, there will be no rest!" After all, Xi Chao was just a counselor. He was not in his position and could not deeply feel Huan Wen's plight.
One month! As long as Lang Zi can hold on for a month, I will go all out to fight Liang Thief to the death! Huan Wen gritted his teeth and said.
Now pounce on it like a moth to a flame.
After many years of fighting between the two sides, Huan Wen knew Li Yue's temper very well. How could he know that he was not besieging the city to seek reinforcements?
Now that 50,000 to 60,000 Heiyun troops have moved south and have taken advantage of the upper reaches, Huan Wen's 20,000 troops will immediately become the target of the Heiyun army.
Unless the Beifu army in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River can provide unified support and jointly resist Liang Guo regardless of past grudges.
In the past, there might have been a slight possibility, but now, Huan Wen and Jiankang are caught in the disagreement over supporting the new emperor. This is the time when the conflict is at its deepest. "This time, the Liang Lord's personal expedition is so huge that I'm afraid... Xiangyang will have difficulty..." Hold on for a month." Xi Chao looked sad.
The Xi family is tied to Huan Wen. If Huan Wen fails, the Xi family will inevitably decline. Huan Wen looked at him silently. If Xiangyang cannot support it for a month, then he will have no need to support him. The two were silent for a long time, and Huan Wen suddenly said: " A true man cannot be famous for a hundred years, but he will be infamy for thousands of years. If you can't do anything, I should sail eastward!"
From beginning to end, what Huan Wen was thinking about was the imperial couch in the Jiankang court.
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Du Chao already understood what was more important to Huan Wen. "It has only been a century since the Jin Dynasty, but already...he is seriously ill."
There was infinite loneliness in the voice.
Not only was the Jin Dynasty seriously ill, but the people around him were also seriously ill. It was irreversible. Even if Liang Jun was defeated this time and Xiangyang was saved, how could he build a healthy society? Sima Yu, Wang Biaozhi, Xie An, Wang Tanzhi happened to be discussing the matter in Xiangyang. Wang Biaoyi smiled and said, "Hahaha, he Huan Wen will also have this day!"
For more than ten years, Huan Wen has been so oppressive that the Wang family can hardly breathe.
If anyone in Jiangdong hates Huan Wen the most, it must be the Wang family.
Without He Chong's recommendation and Wang Dao's tacit approval, how could a third-rate noble family in Qiao County be where it is today?
However, Sima Yu should still be blamed for this. He Chong recommended Huan Wen, and his servant Liu Xun tried his best to dissuade him. He believed that Huan Wen was more ambitious than Yu Yi and suggested that Sima Yu should oversee Jingzhou. Sima Yu was busy with the Qing Dynasty and Xuan Dynasty. He refused to take office, and finally gave it to Huan Wen.
"With the strength of Xiangyang City, both Huan Wen and Liang's thieves will be injured." Sima Yu stroked his long beard, with a happy look on the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
The last time Liang Guo launched a massive siege of Xiangyang, didn't he return in vain?
Only Xie An looked calm, "What if Xiangyang can't stop Liang Jun?
Wang Biaozhi snorted coldly.
, "Xiangyang is Huan Wen's home base. If Xiangyang is lost, the Huan family will be at the end of the road. We can follow the example of Soochow and rebuild the Xiling and Yidao defense lines to block the Liang Kingdom to the north of the Yangtze River."
With the help of Yangtze River fortresses such as Xiling, Yidao, and Gong'an, Soochow stubbornly resisted the Western Jin Dynasty for thirty years after the fall of Shu. If Soochow had not produced a tyrant, Sun Hao, it could have continued to resist.
In a word, Jiankang's monarchs and ministers' hatred for Huan Wen is still higher than that of Liang. This time, the war in Liang will not burn their heads, so there is no need for them to worry.
On the contrary, Huan Wen is pressing harder and harder. Maybe at some point, he will follow the Sima family's example of usurping Wei.
"It's better to be just in case. The Liang army's invasion this time is not a trivial matter. We can't sit back and wait for death. The Beifu army should take action." Xie An said very slowly, as if he was considering every word. "Is An Shi confused? If Huan Wen repels Liang Army, the next step is to do something treacherous and unethical. How can you and I resist it?" Wang Tanzhi raised a more difficult question. Huan Wen gained power. This power structure in Jiankang could no longer be maintained. Now Huan Wen is ready for everything. , He only owed Dongfeng, if he had not taken his reputation into consideration, he would have done what Sima Zhao did, and attacked the Cao Wei gentry, and killed the king on the street. The stubborn disease of the Jin Dynasty had already penetrated into the bone marrow when it was founded, and there was no cure for it. Read the book
Sima Yu suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. Huan Wen made him the emperor, which was clearly like roasting him on the fire. The feeling of a subjugated king was not so pleasant. "Of course it is not to rescue Xiangyang, but to wipe out the Wuling barbarians in Changsha. To defend the Yangtze River, Wuling Changsha must not be in chaos. Now that the Beifu army has moved out, how can Da Sima stand still?" Xie An's tone was calm and he wanted to establish a Yangtze River defense line, at least to defend the south of the Yangtze River first.
Xie An made arrangements in advance to avoid the deterioration of the situation and to protect the south of the Yangtze River, and to connect Bashu and Bashu. Even if Xiangyang was lost, Jiangdong could still be stabilized. "Anshi was really the brightest man at that time!" Sima Yu praised.
"What if Huan Wen marches straight in and ends up in Jiankang? What can be done?" Wang Biaozhi glanced at several people.
When Huan Wen took over Jiankang, the most unlucky person was definitely not Sima Yu. Huan Wen was the son-in-law of the Sima family, nor Xie An. In front of Huan Wen, Xie An often regarded himself as a minister.
Only the Wang family did not wear a single piece of clothing. They stood at the forefront of opposing Huan Wen every time, ruining many of Huan Wen's good deeds. Will do such an unfaithful and unfilial thing?
