Dajin royal family

Chapter 601

Ma Yong looked at Yuwen Zhiji not quite understanding, if what was said in the letter was true, then the matter would be urgent.

Yuwen Zhiji said: "[-] new troops from the Northern Jin Dynasty, this number is not small. If they were really transferred to the Central Plains, why didn't Zhao Yong receive any news?"

"Your Highness means that there is a problem with this information?"

"No." Yu Wenzhi said: "Don't forget, the information was sent by your brother, he can't lie."

For his younger brother, Ma Yong naturally believed, so after hearing what Yuwen Zhiji said, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

If there is no problem with the information, could it be that what His Highness said is true?
"Your Highness suspects Zhao Yong's dereliction of duty." Ma Yong said.

"Isn't it true that he led a large army to sit in the east, but he didn't know anything about the movements of the Northern Jin Dynasty? Isn't he negligent? If it wasn't for our people to receive the news, we still don't know that the [-] new troops of the Northern Jin Dynasty have arrived Central Plains!"

Ma Yong was slightly silent. He knew that Yu Wenzhi was very dissatisfied with Zhao Yong. In the final analysis, it was because of the defeat in the Central Plains that Yu Wenzhi lost his military power.

"Your Highness, but how to say, this matter should be investigated first. If Zhao Yong really neglected his duties, His Majesty will definitely punish him."

Yuwen Zhiji snorted, "Naturally, you follow me to the palace now, and report to Father!"

"Yes."

After Yu Wenshu met Yu Wenzhiji, he could not help but secretly startled when he got the news that [-] new troops from the Northern Jin Dynasty had entered the Central Plains.He immediately sent someone to Suanzao to question Zhao Yong, and asked him to find out the movements of the Northern Jin Dynasty immediately.

A day later, the news from Luoyang that the horse was riding the whip reached Zhao Yong.

After learning what Yu Wenshu meant, Zhao Yong didn't dare to neglect, and quickly sent scouts to Dongjun to investigate, hoping to find out what was going on as soon as possible.

He was in Suanzao, and although he often sent scouts to spy on the news of the Northern Jin army, this was the first time he learned that the Northern Jin had added [-] troops to the Central Plains.

In his heart, he actually doubted whether the news was true, but he didn't dare to be careless, and still regarded it as true.

The army of the Northern Jin Dynasty was stationed in two places, one was Fengqiu in Dongjun County, and the other was Chenliu in Liangjun County, with a total of [-] troops.

When Jin and Xu signed the agreement, the eastern battlefields withdrew their troops, and they could only keep about [-] troops.

However, no one actually paid attention to this piece of empty paper. If the other party really increased their troops, they would probably only be able to fight with each other.

If you can't win on the battlefield, can you still hope to win in private negotiations?

For example, this time, if the Northern Jin Dynasty really added [-] troops to the Central Plains, what could Xu Guo do?
Zhao Yong hoped that this news was false, because Xu Guo's defense was under a lot of pressure at present. Not to mention the tens of thousands of troops on his side, the direction of Tongguan and Hanoi County alone held back more than half of Xu Guo's troops.

If the news is true, this means that additional troops must be added.

He didn't think that the tens of thousands of people in his hands could stop the Northern Jin Dynasty. If he couldn't stop it, the consequences would be disastrous.

A few days later, the news came.

true!

The Northern Jin Dynasty did increase its troops by [-], and they were practicing day and night.In order to get the news, Zhao Yong lost dozens of experienced scouts.

The news was quickly sent to Luoyang.

The palace, the imperial study.

Yu Wenshu put down Zhao Yong's letter and looked up at his two sons and ministers.

"Everyone, the Northern Jin Dynasty indeed added [-] troops to Dongjun."

The news itself does not scare people, because Dongjun only increased its troops by [-], but the problem is that behind this news is tantamount to sending out a signal.

The Northern Jin Dynasty is about to start.

That's pretty intimidating.

Once the Northern Jin Dynasty came, Xu Guo would be attacked on three sides.

Among them, the most dangerous and also the most important is Tongguan!
Once the Northern Jin army dispatches troops from Tongguan, they will be able to drive straight into Henan County, which will greatly involve Xu Guo's troops.At the same time, if Pei Yuanyan of Hanoi County crossed the river to attack, a large part of Xu Jun would be involved.

Xu Yixin cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the move of the Northern Jin Dynasty is intended to make a big difference."

"Go on."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Northern Jin Dynasty's increase of troops to the Central Plains is nothing more than asking me to disperse our troops and go to Xingyang County. At this time, the Northern Jin Dynasty will definitely turn around and increase troops to Tongguan. After all, going to Tongguan can directly attack Henan County. But if we forcefully attack the Central Plains, the Northern Jin Dynasty must break through the Sishui Pass first, and Jiang Chengxiao will not do this kind of loss-making business."

"Furthermore, once the direction of Tongguan is torn apart by the Northern Jin Dynasty, the Northern Jin army in Hanoi County will definitely cross the river again to attack. If the three sides are sandwiched, if the minister's expectations are correct, Jiang Chengxiao's strategic goal this time must still be Tongguan."

Yu Wenshu nodded, "You are right. Jiang Chengxiao may indeed do this. The incident in Guanzhong is vivid in his mind, so we must guard against it."

After speaking, he looked at Ge Qiu.

"Master Ge, how are the granaries in Henan County now?"

Ge Qiu bowed and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the number of recruits this year is too large, and it is difficult to fill the granary with only one year's rest. According to my estimate, the army can only hold on for two months."

"Two months?" Yu Wenhuaji said dissatisfiedly: "If the Northern Jin Dynasty really went south, it is absolutely impossible to fight for only two months."

Yu Wenshu also frowned, sticking to it for two months, in such a short time, the Northern Jin Dynasty would never give up.

Ge Qiu said expressionlessly: "Your Highness, in the past year, I have recruited nearly 30 soldiers, and with the original 40 troops, nearly [-] troops. Your Highness knows that the Central Plains has been in constant war and the fields have been barren. There are not many people plowing the land to grow food, how can we make food out of thin air?"

He was very angry. Originally, when the two countries stopped fighting, he thought that he must take the opportunity to resume farming.Yingchuan County has been a major grain-producing county since ancient times. Although Xu Guo only has half of Yingchuan County's land in his hands, as long as the production is good, there should be a good harvest this year.

However, in response to the threat of the Northern Jin Dynasty, Yu Wenshu enlisted troops wantonly, even forcibly.As he said before, wars are fought every year in the Central Plains, and the people are displaced. In a village, more than half of the people died, and many young and strong were killed by the bandits.In this way, how many people can work in agriculture with peace of mind?
Under such circumstances, Yu Wenshu and his son asked him for food, where did he get the food?
After hearing Ge Qiu's words, Yu Wenshu was also embarrassed to say anything.Because Ge Qiu said the truth.Originally, the Jin and Xu countries stopped their troops for a year, and he was indeed ready to take a good rest, but after the Northern Jin Dynasty took down Bashu Hanzhong, he immediately stopped this thought.

It is impossible for Xu Guo to recuperate!
The Northern Jin Dynasty put too much pressure on him, which forced him to relieve his inner pressure through conscription.

Yu Wenhuaji said angrily: "Master Ge, governing the people is your duty, but now you can't provide food, how can you be worthy of your father's trust in you!"

A surge of anger condensed in his chest, Ge Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "I tried my best."

His tone was extremely aggrieved, he asked himself that he had definitely tried his best, but who understood him?
Yu Wenshu wants to recruit soldiers, and he wants to restore people's livelihood. This is a self-contradictory thing.Xu Guo is no better than the Northern Jin Dynasty, the difference between the two is too great.

The land area of ​​the Northern Jin Dynasty is several times that of the Xu State, and among them, Bingzhou and Liaodong have not suffered any wars, and they have recovered relatively quickly. They have long been able to continuously supply blood to the Northern Jin Dynasty.Later, Hebei gradually got on the right track, and on this basis, it got the support of major families.

What can you compare with Beijin?
The Northern Jin Dynasty could rule the people while conquering the outside world.

But the country of Xu can't, the country of Xu has been fighting since the chaos started, and it hasn't stopped until now.

Not three to five years, how to recover?

"Okay, let's think about how to get food at this time." Yu Wenshu glanced at Yu Wenhuaji, who retreated rather unwillingly.

Xu Yixin said: "For the current plan, the only way is to ask Liang Guo for help."

"Liang Guo, hmph, in order to deal with Chen Guo, they have established a relationship with the Northern Jin Dynasty a long time ago, so why are they willing to reinforce us?" Yu Wenzhi said: "Besides, Liang Guo and Chen Guo are on the verge of breaking out, and there is a great tendency to mobilize troops. Will they help us?"

Yu Wenzhi felt that he had heard something very funny.

Xu Yixin said: "Your Highness, didn't Liang Guo's envoys make it very clear that the reason why they reconciled with the Northern Jin Dynasty was only to deal with Chen Guo. Besides, in private, our two countries are still allies."

After a pause, he went on to say, "It's probably impossible for Liang Guo to send troops to help, because the Northern Jin garrison is in Zigui, Badong County, and Liang Guo will definitely not want to disperse its troops. But we can borrow food from them. Xiao Tong is not Chen. Qiu Jin, he knows very well that if our court cannot resist the Northern Jin Dynasty, Liang Guo will be next, so he will definitely promise to give us food."

Hearing this, Yu Wenshu nodded.

"Yes, Xiao Tong understands the pros and cons."

Compared to that idiot Chen Qiujin, Yu Wenshu felt that Xiao Tong would definitely not sit back and watch the Northern Jin attack him.
