"It's really hard to do something.
Yu Ying came from Jingzhou, and he also got the news that the Han army had annihilated the main force of the Xuzhou army, and he knew a few days earlier than Yu Bing before coming to Qu'a by boat.
Qu'a is now the general hub of the Jin army in Yangzhou, and it is here that Yu Bing controls the overall situation.
Yu Ying knew what was going on with those families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so he was very helpless.
As early as when the Wang family was the largest gate valve south of the Yangtze River, the Yu family did not make trouble for the Wang family as the first gate valve, it should be said that there was competition in the cooperation, otherwise how could the Yu family climb to the position of the first gate valve "What did Yuanzi say" Yu Ying is most concerned about the Han Department at present, he asked: "The Han army is really that elite" More detailed information was sent back one after another, confirming that the Han army had annihilated the main force of the Xuzhou army, and Liu Yan took a posture of attacking Xiapi County but did not take action, because Shi Zun of Pengcheng had reacted.
"The Han army has been increasing its troops."
Yu Bing actually lost a lot of weight in just a few days, with big bags under his eyes and dark circles under his eyes, and he hoarsely voiced: "The Han army used boats and boats to quickly transport the captive population back to Qingzhou, and then transport the soldiers.
The number of Han troops on the southern front is estimated to have exceeded 80,000, or even more and more, and no one knows how many will be in the end. ” Plunder is a not very good word, which shows that Yu Bing has a sense of disgust for what Liu Yan did.
Then again, Liu Yan is plundering the population, and it is a large-scale plunder, not only people, but also those who can rob have not let go, and the places they pass are like locusts crossing the border, so how can Yu Bing, who has regarded Xuzhou as a bag, be happy It is true that the Yu family is mobilized hard for the sake of the national hatred, but the hatred of the national enemy also needs to be reciprocated, if all the benefits that can be generated in Xuzhou are plundered by Liu Yan, how can the Yu family make up for the cost of grabbing the land, is it just to get the land "A tribe that has been developing for four years has hundreds of thousands of troops" Yu Ying didn't understand: "It's all elite" Whether it is elite Yu Bing is not clear, he only knows that many dock forts and walled cities in Lanling County and Donghai County have been breached, which in a certain way reflects the Han army's ability to produce and apply equipment.
Yes, those dock forts were simply destroyed by bed crossbows and stone-throwing carts, and each time they were broken, they killed the core of the family, not to mention the family property, and the family became slaves.
"Cruel as this" Yu Ying was so surprised that he said: "Every time there is resistance, the whole clan will be killed, and the rest of the farmers will be used as slaves" "Yes" Yu Bing was full of disgust towards Liu Yan because of this, he squinted his eyes and said: "Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, it's too domineering." ” Yu Ying shook his head: "The Central Plains is eroded, and the dock forts and walled cities are everywhere.
In troubled times, I began to understand why the Hanbu was able to rise rapidly in just four years.
He paused and said slowly: "If you talk about dock forts and walled cities, where is it not like the Central Plains south of the Yangtze River, relying on dock forts and walled cities, there are few tax payers, and such people are equivalent to useless development."
It's just that we can't clear it, and Liu Yan can destroy it with impunity. ” "It is those who follow me who prosper and those who disobey me die, Liu Yan publicly shouted such remarks."
Yu Bing knows that his brother is a little ill and idealistic, and sometimes he doesn't care about the interests of the family at all, or he won't become friends with Huan Wen, who wants to borrow his strength when he looks at it, and he will feel no harm in being used by Huan Wen.
He said: "I have decided to increase troops north of the Yangtze River. ” The Jiangdu on the other side of the Yangtze River has been captured by Xie An, and the Shijie Zhao army of the Jiangshui Temple fled after the Jiangdu was breached, which means that the gate to Xuzhou has been opened by the Jin army.
Except for Shi Zun's private army in Pengcheng, there is no formed national armed force in Xuzhou, which is definitely a great opportunity for the Jin army to cross the river and go on a northern expedition.
Because Liu Yan was robbing in the north of Xuzhou, many people, including Yu Bing, had a sense of urgency, and subconsciously felt that it was difficult to even drink soup if they were not happy.
"The main force of the Han army confronted Shi Zun's private army on the front line of Pengcheng, and there are only some local armed forces in the rest of the area, and I plan to increase 20,000 troops to the north bank to attack Huaiyin first."
Yu Bing stood up as he spoke, he walked to the wall with a map of mountains and rivers, and waited for Yu Ying to come over before continuing: "Take advantage of the convenience of boats and boats, take advantage of the chaos of the defenders, capture Tangyi, Yuxian, Guangling, and Hailing, and then advance to Gaoyou.
Strive to take the territory around Huaishui within a month and advance to the front line of Surabaya. ” "If the Xuzhou army is really completely annihilated by the Han army, it will not be difficult to achieve such a strategy within a month."
Yu Ying thought about it and asked: "But you need to cover from the direction of Jingzhou" The Jin army only has about 50,000 troops on the Huaiyin battlefield, and Yu Bing is ruthless to add another 20,000 troops to the north bank of the Yangtze River, plus the troops that have been invested before, then there will be nearly 40,000 Jin troops to participate in the war, which is equivalent to using one-fifth of the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty army.
The family private army is not used to fight for the country, it is the last force of the family, Yu Bing will not send his family private soldiers to the battlefield if he is not a last resort, and it is enough to keep the grain road safe behind the national armed forces, and if the war goes well, it should be the turn of the private army to come forward to eat meat, and it is good to leave some soup and water for the national armed forces.
It's not just the Yu family who does this, but all the families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty do this, and there is no accident at all.
This is also the reason why the Jin army always seems to drag its feet every time it fights, and it is easy to collapse when it encounters a vicious battle.
The two brothers talked a lot, and the next day Yu Ying returned to Jingzhou by boat, and he would send a boat from Jingzhou to assist Yu Bing's side in marching into Huaiyin.
Seriously speaking, Yu Bing's plan to advance three hundred miles north in a month is already the fastest and farthest in decades, and it is also one of the few major marches after the Central Plains family fled to the south of the Yangtze River in embarrassment and panic.
The Yu family still needs to do some work before entering the army, such as pulling more families into the water, among which the Wang family and the Xie family are indispensable, if this is called risk sharing in modern times.
Liu Yan's side soon learned that the Jin army was going to rise up, and he was leading the main force of the Han army to engage in a low-intensity battle with Shi Zun's private army in the area of Boyang and Wuyuan, which was actually a scene of confrontation.
At the last moment, Liu Yan was still happy that the Jin army was finally going north, but the next moment Liu Yan received news that the Jin army would not go north, and this time the Northern Expedition ended with the capture of Jiangdu and Jiangshui Temple.
Liu Yan was a little confused, how could the military operation be so child's play, and after many inquiries, he found out that it was the Sima royal family who called for the Northern Expedition to stop.
"Huge manpower and material resources were used before and after, and the Xuzhou army was annihilated by us again, and Sima's family shouted to stop" Liu Yan felt as disgusting as if he had eaten a dead fly: "How can they do this" The Han Ministry can't get more information, the Sima royal family is actually a shield that has been pushed out, and it is a huge number of families who are secretly obstructing, even the voices within the Yu family are not so unified, and the Wang family, the Xie family, and the Huan family are not so approves.
The opposing opinion is clear, Zhang Liangguo and Murong Yanguo did not attack Shijie Zhao as previously agreed, so as to determine that the time for the Northern Expedition was not ripe.
Yu Bing was furious and personally returned to Jiankang to explain the fact that the Xuzhou army of Shijie Zhao had been destroyed, and also talked about the impact of Ran Min's secession of Guanzhong on Shijie Zhao.
But it didn't work, what Yu Bing said was taken as a joke, and most of the families didn't believe that the Han Dynasty, which rose in only four years, could annihilate more than 100,000 Xuzhou troops, suspecting that it was Liu Yan and Shijie Zhao Guo's double reed, and the trap was set to let the Jin army go north.
The family background of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is so little, and the troops that can be arranged in the Yangtze River defense line are basically border troops.
And the border army should actually be the most capable force of a country, and the loss of any little bit will greatly damage the vitality of a country, and some families are not all against the Northern Expedition out of a bad mentality, but they think that the time is not right and the situation is unclear.
The Yu family is the first gate valve south of the Yangtze River, but they can't tear their faces with more than half of the family, and what makes Yu Bing most angry is that the Huan family not only betrays the alliance but also stands on the side of the Xie family, and the Xie family and the Wang family are actually wearing the same pants, making the Yu family isolated.
By the way, because Huan Wen was detained by Liu Yan, the head of the Huan family has become Huan Yun.
Huan Yun is Huan Wen's younger brother.
The first time Huan Yun became the head of the Huan family was to arrange for the daughter-in-law of Emperor Ming of Jin, the princess of Nankang, and the sister-in-law named Sima Xingnan, including several children of Huan Wen, to arrange for the family's private soldiers to be sent to Jiangdu, and asked Xie An and Wang Tanzhi to send someone to contact Huan Wen, who was on the side of the Han army, to reunite the family.
On the other hand, Yuan Qiao's Yuan family also had a similar arrangement, but because Yuan Qiao only had one son named Yuan Fangping, he only left his son behind, and the children of some brothers were sent to serve, and his wife was also left behind, and he was sent to a concubine.
As a result, Liu Yan can be said to be dumbfounded when he learned the news, the Jin army did not cross the river to the north, and even the captured Jiangdu and Jiangshui Temple were directly burned and abandoned, and he should pat his ass and continue to nest back to the south of the Yangtze River to be a turtle with a shrunken head "The good news is that Wang Tanzhi is here."
Ji Chang's eyes lit up when he said this: "Your Majesty, Wang Tanzhi has such a talent at the age of thirteen, and it's a pity not to stay." ” Liu Yan was still stunned, it was a military event, why could the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty be so child's play, there was no Shijie Zhao army to stop the Jin army, and as a result, they didn't even eat the southern part of Xuzhou, which had no defense troops, if they didn't go north "Unreasonable" Sang Yu kept sneering: "It is worthy of losing the descendants of a group of rats in the Central Plains."
Your Majesty, when our army goes south in the future, such people can be killed":
