Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 468 Taking Coolness
The news that Li Yue proclaimed himself emperor reached Chang'an, and Fu Jian breathed a long sigh of relief, "Sir, the plan has been completed, but I am afraid that there will be enemies from the Liang Kingdom in East Africa."

Fu Jian advised Li Yue to proclaim himself emperor, not for the good of Liang Guo, but from his own standpoint.

As long as he proclaims himself emperor, he will attract Jiangdong's hatred.

On the other hand, if Huan Wen wanted to take a further step, he would definitely go on an expedition to the north.

Quan Yi stroked his long beard and said, "Huan Wen is not comparable to the likes of Chu Pe and Yin Hao. He has been carrying out soil destruction for several years, his troops are well-prepared, and there are many people in Jiangdong. Even if he cannot defeat Li Yue, he can still restrain his hands and feet and have no time to go west." Gu, the King of Heaven will take Liangzhou immediately!"

At the beginning of this year, two armies, Fu Ya and Fu Rong, attacked and gathered more than half of Di Qin's troops, but they still failed to defeat Guzang.

The Hun brothers of the Song Dynasty strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, and held on to the city for half a year.

As a result, Guanzhong's grain and grass supply was somewhat unable to keep up. Fortunately, some powerful nobles in Liangzhou compromised in advance and provided a lot of support.

This also caused Fu Jian to have no energy to deal with Murong Chui who invaded Henan.

There have been many objections in the court.

However, Fu Jian gritted his teeth and persisted. He took out all the palace treasury and Fu's family's private possessions, and rewarded the Qin army for fighting in Liangzhou. "Sir, don't worry, Liangzhou is already within my grasp!"

Fu Jian looked confident.

It was not just the powerful Liangzhou power that compromised, but also another force.

"So that's it!" Quan Yi immediately figured out the key and did not dwell on this issue. "Now in the world, Yan State has retreated to Liaodong, and there is nothing that can be done. Tuoba Shi Yijian is forced by Rouran, who can contain Liang State? , only Jiangdong. Your Majesty should ease relations with Jiangdong, and also plan for Hanzhong in the future!"

"Alliance with Huan Wen?" Fu Jian frowned.

His father Fu Xiong died indirectly at the hands of Huan Wen, and the hatred for his father's murder was irreconcilable.

Quan Yi said cautiously: "The former king was seriously injured in defeating the king. It was not Huan Wen...'s fault. Now Liang is strong and Qin and Jin are weak and cannot join forces to defeat them. Once three or five years later, Liang regains its strength and raises a million troops." Advancing westward, it will be difficult to resist in Guanzhong. May the King of Heaven put aside his personal hatred for the time being and focus on the overall situation!"

The Murong clan returned to Liaodong, and Tuoba Shi Yijian and Murong Chui were just outsiders and unreliable. With the foundation of the Central Plains and the complete Hebei Plain, it would take not three to five years, but two years to recover.

Fu Jian's face turned green and white. He was actually in the army during Huan Wen's Northern Expedition and saw his loyal troops die under the rain of arrows from the Jin army.

However, revenge also requires strength, and survival is far greater than hatred.

Qin is dead, and there is nothing left, let alone revenge.

Fu Jian's greatest strength was his ability to follow his advice, "Just as Mr. Wang said, he was sent as an envoy to Jiangdong."

Quan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of admiration on his face, "There is no need to send an envoy to Jiangdong, so as not to arouse the alert of Liang Guo. If what I expected is true, Huan Wen will definitely send an envoy to Guanzhong!"

When Li Yue proclaimed himself emperor, it was Huan Wen who was anxious first, not Fu Jian.

Jiangdong's biggest reliance is its orthodoxy. Liang Guo has the imperial seal in his hands. Over time, Jiangdong's orthodoxy will be greatly reduced...

As Quan Yi expected, the crowd in Jiangdong was furious at this moment.

They could tolerate Shi Hu proclaiming himself emperor and Fu Jian proclaiming himself emperor, because they were both barbarians and could not replace Chinese orthodoxy. On the contrary, they would make the Jin Dynasty more popular among the people.

Therefore, Liang Du's mutiny, Fu Hong's westward march, and Yao Yizhong's father and son's march south were all under the banner of the Jin Dynasty.

But Liang Guo was different.

It was a genuine Chinese dynasty. From the moment it rose, it bore a deep Chinese imprint. It took the people of the Central Plains as its subjects, the northern beggar army and the refugee army as its sword, and eventually swept across the Kanto region.

The existence of the Liang Kingdom proved the incompetence of the Jiangdong gentry.Incompetence means incompetence. The Jiangdong nobles settled in Jiangzuo and have long been accustomed to living in drunken dreams. However, the rise of the Liang Kingdom came from the bottom. They were either beggars or refugees and untouchables. This made the nobles who were bellowing the food unbearable. .

As long as the Liang Kingdom exists, their foundation will never be solid.

"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters among the people. Our court and Di Liang are at odds with each other!" Huan Wen said with a serious face.

The Gengxu Earth Break lasted for almost two years, and Jiangdong's vitality recovered a lot.

Huan Wen's strength has greatly increased.

The growing power of the Liang Kingdom made the Jiangdong gentry panic and unite tightly around him.

Today's Huan Wen is just like Sima Zhao back then, only missing one status.

"Diliang is strong and must seek Jiangdong. Now that the morale of Jiangdong has been restored, and the soldiers have enough money and food, we should work hard for the royal family to conquer China!" Xie Shang said with cupped hands.

At that time, Wang Dao and other nobles were traveling south in their attire. They invited each other to a new pavilion to have a banquet with flowers. Zhou Yi sat in the middle and sighed: "The scenery is not special. When you look up, you can see the difference between the rivers."

Everyone who heard this looked at each other and shed tears, but Wang Dao changed his face in shock: "We should work together with the royal family to conquer China, why should we be prisoners of Chu and weep at each other!"

Then the allusion of Xinting crying was left.

"Strengthen the royal family and conquer China" became the spiritual pillar of Jiangdong.

Since the southern crossing, Zu Ti, Yu Liang, Chu Pei, Yin Hao, and Huan Wen have successively made northern expeditions. Although most of them rushed north due to internal constraints, Jiangdong has always had the courage to go north.

Of course, it is true that Huan Wen carried out the Northern Expedition, and it is also true that he did what Sima Yi did in the name of the Northern Expedition.

For various reasons, the conditions for Jiangxi's Northeast Expedition were basically mature.

But at this moment, someone made a different voice, "There is improvement in Jiangdongfang, and the Liang people are strong and vigorous. We should not compete with them. It is better to cultivate the people's power to watch the provocations in the world!"

Huan Wen glanced over and saw that it was Wang Biaozhi, and he was secretly angry. This man was a member of Sima Yu, the king of Kuaiji. He, Sima Yu, Yin Hao, and Xun Rui had caused Huan Wen a lot of trouble back then.

"According to the words of the king's leader, when will the Northern Expedition be launched?" Huan Wen looked at Wang Biaozhi.

The king and the horse share the world. Wang Biaozhi was born in the Wang family of Langya. He was very far-sighted and once predicted that Yin Hao's Northern Expedition would be defeated.

He agreed with the Northern Expedition, but Huan-Wen's Northern Expedition was a different matter.

"The date of the Northern Expedition should be based on the situation in the world. We must not be reckless. Could it be that Duke Huan has forgotten the defeat in Guanzhong in the Northern Expedition? If something unexpected happens during the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that Liang Jun will cross the river!" Wang Biaozhi directly opened up the old score.

"If we don't attack today or attack tomorrow, how will China be conquered?" Huan Wen's eyes were filled with anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Wang Biaozhi is not alone, there is a group of people behind him. Huan Wen naturally has to think carefully about touching him.

What's more, Wang Biaozhi was not completely opposed to the Northern Expedition. "How can we force the Northern Expedition before the time comes? Biao Zhi is doing it for Duke Huan and the country!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was deadlocked, Xi Chao winked at Huan Wen and said, "The king leads the army and is loyal to the country, which is the blessing of Jiangdong!"

Huan Wen's face changed, and he put away his sullen expression, "The leader of the army is right, the Northern Expedition will be decided according to the weather. The leader of the army is very capable, so why not join the army and participate in the military plan decision together."

Wang Biaozhi's stay in the court would only lead to bad things, but by bringing him with him, there would be one less hidden danger in the court.

Huan Wen’s determination to do the Northern Expedition has long been irrevocable, let alone stopping his progress...
