Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Luo Longwen was a little surprised and widened his eyes: "Qiao Shu? This land of Shu shouldn't have much to do with fighting for the world, right? It's in a corner and isolated from the world. Taking it is not enough to conquer the world. Using Shu soldiers to go out from Qishan to conquer Guanzhong, That is basically an idiot’s dream. Besides, the Eastern Jin Dynasty now has the land of Liangzhou and Hanzhong, and we can leave Jingzhou and go to Nanyang to enter Guanzhong, so why do we need to take the land of Shu?"

Speaking of this, Luo Longwen paused: "Speaking of it, Shu is rich in resources and people, with a lot of food. It is known as the land of abundance. However, the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky. There are only three waterways to enter Shu, the outer water and the inner water, and There are many hidden reefs in the Three Gorges area, so it is not easy to go back to Shu. To leave Shu by land to the north, you have to walk thousands of miles of Shu roads in the mountains. There are no roads at all. They are all winding plank roads. In the past, Zhuge Liang's expedition to northern Shu At that time, we were limited by food and logistics, and returned without success every time. Could it be that Liu Yu was more powerful than Zhuge Liang?"

"Besides, although Liu Bang claimed to have conquered the world as the King of Hanzhong, he did not even stay in Shu for a few days. Another problem of Shu is that it has been isolated from the outside world for a long time, closed in its own world, and has rich products. , no one who came here wanted to leave. Liu Bang was afraid that his subordinates would lose their fighting spirit here, so he left Shu and entered Guanzhong whenever he had the opportunity. Only then did he gain hegemony, and the separatist regime that stayed here began with Gongsun Shu. When I arrived in Chenghan, everything was wiped out by the outside world. If I were Liu Yu, I would never take conquering Shu as my primary goal. There are no strong soldiers here, and food cannot be transported. Instead, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources to govern. What is it for?"

The black robe smiled slightly: "Long Wen, you only saw the surface. These analyzes are very reasonable, but Liu Yu's plan to seize Shu is just like Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair. It is a road to ascend the throne. The necessary procedure to prove that he is the son of destiny, let's put it this way, if he wants to revive the Han Dynasty and rebuild the Liu family, so as to command the world and make people sincerely surrender, he must take this path."

Luo Longwen's expression changed: "Why is it necessary to rebuild the Han Dynasty like this? Liu Xiu didn't establish the Eastern Han Dynasty by taking the land of Shu first. There are also barbarians like Liu Yuan. In the north, they still consider themselves the descendants of the princesses of the Han Dynasty after Liu Chan. Han and Zhao were also established. Liu Yu himself was not born in Shu, nor was he a descendant of Shu Han, so why did he have to take Shu in order to have the legitimacy of his political power? What does this have to do with Longzhong?"

The black robe put away his smile and said seriously: "Because Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, killed the White Snake in uprising, escaped the plot at the Hongmen Banquet, and finally conquered the world as the King of Hanzhong, no matter how long he stayed in Shu, he always started from Shu. He sent troops to overthrow Xiang Yu. Although he had overthrown Qin in Pengcheng and was the first to capture Xianyang, in the eyes of the world, it was Xiang Yu who took the credit for the destruction of Qin, not Liu Bang. Liu Bang destroyed Western Chu. , not Qin."

Luo Longwen nodded: "Yes, everyone knows that Chu and Han were fighting, and Liu Bang destroyed Xiang Yu. In this way, Liu Bang raised troops from Shu, destroyed Western Chu, seized the world, and opened up the Han family. If Liu Yu If you want to re-establish the Han Dynasty as a descendant of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, you must take this road? But Liu Xiu and Liu Yuan did not leave either. Liu Bei wanted to leave but failed. Why did Liu Yu have to leave? "

The black robe sighed: "Because Liu Yu is the same as Liu Bei, but he claims to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty. After Gaozu, Liu Yu is not even a direct descendant of Liu Bang, but a descendant of Liu Jiao, King of Chu of the Han Dynasty. This relationship, He was very distant. He had been out of the fifth server for a long time. He was not a direct descendant of the great ancestor. Liu Bei’s successor, King Jing of Zhongshan, only said it himself. There was no family genealogy to prove it. At that time, everyone thought that Liu Bei had forged this identity. This was Zhuge Liang. The reason why Longzhong should be designed to allow Liu Bei to seize Shu and go back to Liu Bang's old path."

"Liu Xiu is a clan member of the Han Dynasty recognized by the world. After the authentic Han Jing Emperor, he does not need to follow Liu Bang's old path to prove his lineage. As for Liu Yuan, he is a Huns. No matter how he makes excuses for himself and No one would regard him as a descendant of the great ancestor. He desperately relied on the Han people. He even took the name of the country as Han, and even recognized Liu Chan as the late emperor. It was because he wanted to seize the Central Plains and conquer the Han people in the Central Plains. recognition and support, but after all, Hu and Han could not get along at the time, especially Hu people like Liu Yuan and Shi Le who had lived in the interior for a long time. Their people had been oppressed by the Han people. Once they rebelled, they would do it for revenge like Sun Enlu Xun. And when you raise an army, even if your country is named Han, their troops will kill the Han people without fail, treating them like cattle and sheep."

Luo Longwen gritted his teeth: "Yes, in those decades, the Han and Hu were completely vendettas between groups. Liu Yuan may have thought that the Han and Hu would reconcile and he could secure his position as the lord of the Central Plains, but starting from his son , don’t accept this trick anymore, if you treat the Han people well, the Huns and Jie people under your command will not be satisfied, so when it came to Shi Le, the country’s name was changed from Han back to Zhao.”

The black robe nodded: "So Liu Yuan is just a tiger, not a dog~www.readwn.com~His self-proclaimed descendant of the Liu family is just a joke, and no one in the world will regard him as Liu Bang's. Descendants, his country is not a big man, so there is no need to mention this. Liu Xiu’s identity does not need to be proved by following Liu Bang’s old path, but Liu Bei and Liu Yu are needed. Therefore, they are far apart in terms of blood or origin. If you don't know, you have to be as close as possible in terms of achievements. I said before that the Sima family's victory in the Jin Kingdom was unfair and was obtained by usurping the throne and conspiracy. It itself was not a great contribution to ending the troubled times, so deep in the hearts of the people of the world , or towards the Han Dynasty, not the Jin State."

"Liu Yu wants to ascend the throne as emperor and use the power of an emperor to command the world. The best way is to take up the title of Han Dynasty and return to his status as a descendant of the Han Dynasty. Now, to be honest, his achievements can convince the common people. But the big family members were unconvinced by him and felt that his background was too low. But if he was a descendant of the Han Dynasty and a descendant of Emperor Gaozu, then this problem would not exist, because high-ranking families were most concerned about blood origin, and the ancestors of the Wang family in Taiyuan It can be traced back to the prince of the Zhou Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period. If Liu Yu could associate himself with Liu Bang, then no one would dare to laugh at him as Liu Da of Jingkou. This step is for him to suppress the high-ranking family, from the identity and blood relationship The most critical step is to get ahead of them."

Luo Longshang breathed a sigh of relief: "So, is Liu Yu's only choice to attack Qiaoshu, then send troops from Shu into Guanzhong, seize Chang'an, and go back to Liu Bang's old path?" ()
