Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

When the black robe said this, he not only sighed, but his voice became a little deeper: "So now we can only endure it for now, use Tianshi Dao to delay it for a while, focus on the future, and then find ways to rebuild our Power. But one thing must be made clear, that is, Liu Yu is our mortal enemy without any room for negotiation, the biggest enemy, either he dies or I die!"

Luo Longsheng nodded vigorously: "Yes, Liu Yu is our mortal enemy, but according to your analysis just now, if Liu Yu can really unify the south internally, integrate all the manpower and material resources of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, including weapons and food, and march northward, In the end, he was able to wipe out the Later Qin and Northern Wei, as well as the Hu Xia and Liangzhou states just like he wiped out the Southern Yan, and completely restore the country within the Great Wall, and even the Western Regions and grasslands to the peak of the Han Dynasty. Then wouldn't he? Will he accomplish greater feats than Liu Bang and Liu Xiu? If he accomplishes such a great feat, then even the fate of the world will be biased towards him, and will no longer be on the side of our Divine Alliance."

A cold light flashed in the black robe's eyes: "So, this is something we must stop. The last time he went to the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, Murong Chui risked his life to stop it. Unfortunately, he fell short, and finally lost to this **** Murong Lan. On his body, the Jiankang offensive and defensive battle that followed was another perfect opportunity to directly kill Liu Yu. He only lamented that Doupeng was hesitant and did not let Lu Xun and Xu Daofu stay consistent. He used all his strength when Liu Yu just came back and had no soldiers. We attacked fiercely when we had no generals, but wasted a great opportunity in Lu Xu’s mutual suspicion, and ended up failing!”

Luo Longsheng frowned: "In addition, in this battle of Jingzhou, even if we personally took action, we failed. Xu Daofu's main force of elite soldiers was lost, and even we were almost exposed. Could it be that God is really standing here? Are you on Liu Yu's side?"

The black robe gritted his teeth: "No, I don't believe it. Liu Yu is just lucky and his opponent made mistakes. As long as we don't take the initiative to make mistakes, Liu Yu will definitely lose, because his tricks will He has offended all rulers, nobles, and elites in the world, whether Han or barbarian. Even the ordinary people he wanted to protect and save would not think of him for his own good. In their eyes, Liu Yu was just a person who wanted to protect himself. Due to their achievements, they were forced to be in the middle of a war, with no peace and no respite for the war madmen. Now I have gradually thought of a way to deal with Liu Yu, and it must not be limited to the battlefield!"

Luo Longsheng laughed: "Just like what we just discussed, let Liu Yu's men occupy and separate each place, and then let these young marshals turn against each other in order to fight for power and gain, and finally attack each other, at least they will not cooperate with each other, so that Will Liu Yu’s subsequent Northern Expedition completely fail?”

Heipao shook his head: "No, we can't wait until Liu Yu launches the Northern Expedition. It will be too late. You know, the Northern Expedition is the biggest political correctness of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Everything must make way for it, because the Sima regime Its legitimacy comes from the Sima regime of the previous Western Jin Dynasty. No matter how much the Sima regime of the Western Jin Dynasty caused chaos in China, it still traces back to the previous dynasty. The current capital of the Western Jin Dynasty is Luoyang and the old capital of the Han Dynasty is Chang'an. , are still in the hands of the Hu people. The Han people in the Central Plains and the north are also ruled and enslaved by the Hu people. In the past hundred years, no matter who it is, as long as they really go to the Northern Expedition, the imperial court can only support it. No matter how reluctant they are in their hearts, they cannot object verbally."

"But if the Northern Expedition is to be carried out, it will be necessary to recruit a large number of troops, store grain, and recruit a large number of people. At the same time, nobles from high-ranking families will be required to provide personnel and strength, and a large amount of blood will be shed. Of course, Liu Yu is now He gave up his title, including some land in the newly occupied areas, in return, but anyone with brains from aristocratic families would know through the Lanxiang official school that Liu Yu would promote those middle- and lower-class scholars in the long run. To replace their high-ranking families, the little land obtained in the north will require the migration of a large number of skilled farmers and village heads from the south. In the short term, the gains outweigh the losses. If they were given a choice, they would definitely be I would rather not go on the Northern Expedition."

Luo Longsheng nodded: "But Liu Yu is a man who insists on his own way. During the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, there was almost no support from the government and the public, but he also sent troops forcefully. With the example of Southern Yan's victory in the Northern Expedition, if he fights again next time I’m afraid there won’t be any more opposition from the Later Qin or the Northern Wei.”

The black robe sneered: "The last time he succeeded, it was because the Northern Expedition initiative was limited to the court. Didn't Liu Yu like to claim that he wanted to plead for the people and save the people from fire and water? So, I want to stop it. Liu Yu, we cannot expect the nobles of the aristocratic families to stand directly on the opposite side of Liu Yu and confront him head-on, but we must start from the bottom up and let the common people oppose Liu Yu's Northern Expedition first."

Luo Longsheng laughed: "I kind of understand what you mean. You are a great celebrity and a great poet. If you can recite poems and compose poems, you can write about the tragic situation of the war that has spread all over the world in recent years, the lives of people are devastated, and the people are in dire straits~www.readwn.com~ Then he attributes all these tragedies to Liu Yu, pointing out that it was he who started the war so casually and expanded it, which made it what it is today. This will make it difficult for wives and children to be separated and families to be destroyed in these years of war, at least it will be difficult for them to live well. The good people in the past hated Liu Yu from the bottom of their hearts. After all, they did not attach too much importance to the Northern Expedition or not, but the departure of their loved ones and the hardship of their own lives were real!"

The black robe nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, the biggest difference between me, a famous person in the world, and those pampered young men in Jiankang City is that I myself also come from a poor background, enjoy a good reputation in the world, and have always wanted to live in seclusion. Mountains and forests, indulging in mountains and rivers, rather than being passionate about power and wanting to be promoted and rich, so if I were to write these poems about the hardships of people's lives, people would not have other ideas, thinking that I wanted to please the noble family by attacking Liu Yu. Make yourself an official."

"This time, I will mention Wang Mang more. Well, before he came to power, he was just trying to gain fame and reputation. He even asked his own son to commit suicide in order to apologize to the maid at home who was killed by him. At one time, he also moved people all over the world, so that he could The usurpation of the throne was successful. However, after Wang Mang became emperor, he was very happy with his success and kept waging wars externally. Internally, under the banner of allocating land to the people, he seized land from powerful landlords and distributed it to the people for farming. As a result, these ordinary people had no farming tools. There was no cooperation, there were no seeds, and the land was empty but unable to produce effectively. In the end, the output was insufficient, and even the taxes were not enough. In addition, the court kept raising taxes and taxes in order to conquer the barbarians. In the end, it led to a civil uprising. Liu Yulai is more suitable than Wang Mang!" (End of Chapter)
