Chapter 164 hit it off
"Of course, I always cross the border and kill the people of Pingzhou. As the general of Zhendong, I am really responsible for defending the territory." Sima Ji Guanchuang Spring said, "Life can be as humble as dust or as free as a god. But as a king and prince, I am responsible for guarding the territory, and I am responsible for defending the territory."
"Father will definitely be very happy. Please give me instructions." Murong Han suppressed his joy and said. This was also a good thing for him. He was in a similar mood to Sima Ji, both of which were sleepy and someone gave him a pillow.
Sima Ji was not trying to teach Goguryeo a lesson, but wanted to destroy this person who blocked the way and blocked the King of Yan's way home. That was his family. He was reborn once and didn't even win his hometown. How many failures would he live in this generation?
"Okay, let's talk in detail!" Sima Ji played his role as a friend of the Xianbei people. He took every step of this matter. As long as he could take down Goguryeo, as long as he had it now, Murong would do anything.
It seems that from now on, we will continue to complain about Goguryeo's cross-border murder in the memorials, give Luoyang a warning, give it a vaccination, and then go to Luoyang to go through the process, and then we can join forces with the Xianbei to start a war.
Sima Ji held his nephew's hand and came excitedly to the front of the map, talking about war on paper. He talked about how to cut Goguryeo and asked, "I don't know how many troops the Murong can send if he attacks with all his strength."
"If you have all your strength, you can send 40,000 to 50,000 troops." Murong Han hesitated and said.
Sima Ji pointed at the lowering movement and stopped slightly, slowly came back to his senses and asked, "How many heavy riders are there in Murong's family?"
This is a big deal. Sima Ji never cared about the light cavalry, because the so-called archery and kite flying in the Mongolian Western Expedition, the swaying plate armor knights were simply fake. The mature plate armor late stage was not easily penetrated by archers. As for Chinese bows and arrows, only Qing bows could shoot through early plate armor.
"There are less than 5,000 cavalry in Murong's family. If you are talking about the kind of horse-dressed armor, the number is 3,000!" Murong Han's answer made Sima Ji breathe a sigh of relief.
With less than 5,000 people, this number is acceptable. If there are tens of thousands of cavalry, it would be a big threat. Sima Ji did not ask more questions, and continued to point to the map to talk to Murong Han about the strategy of advancing. The Murong family is west of Goguryeo and Pingzhou is south of Goguryeo. The Murong family and Pingzhou are south of Goguryeo. If the Murong family performs normally, it is certain that they can win, and Murong himself can win.
But destroying and winning are not the same concept. He is pursuing destroying the other party. So the problem is that the Northeast is much larger than that of Jiaozhou. The other party really wants to run away, so Sima Ji can only stare at him.
"I think that the main attack should be done by the Jin army. Before the war officially begins, the Grand Governor Murong will go north to enter the grassland in the name of the mutual market, and go around to give Goguryeo a fatal blow." Sima Ji touched his chin and said, "I will lead the Pingzhou army to the north and attract Goguryeo's main force to go south. You and I should work together inside and outside to destroy this disaster."
The main attack must be the Jin army, which is inevitable. If a Central Plains dynasty let the Xianbei people do the main attack, it will inevitably make the Murong family think too much. At the same time, it indirectly proves that there is a problem with the combat effectiveness of the Jin Dynasty. It is definitely not a good thing to rely too much on the Murong family.
Hu Qi can add icing on the cake when he is in his hands. When he is really fighting head-on, the Central Plains dynasty must not play dodge. This is also an obligation that a dynasty should have. Goguryeo is like a key. As long as he gets this key, the entire Northeast will be opened. At that time, let alone the Eight Kings Rebellion, even if Luoyang wants to reduce the vassal states, the King of Yan will not care.
Then there is such an understanding prince? Murong Han felt that the existence of King Yan was a favor given by God, and he also spoke with a little grateful meaning, "The king is so nice to us, and Murong remembers it in his heart."
"It's all a family! I have a relationship with the generals of the Grand Commander. Your family's affairs are my affairs!" Sima Ji said with a reserved voice. If he really attacked according to this plan, the main difficulty of the Jin army was to resist head-on. The difficulty of the Murong family was to go north and then suddenly stop marching south. The difficulty was mainly on the road.
It’s not certain who can take advantage of whom. Murong can make a profit, but the King of Yan will definitely not lose. If Murong likes it, all the treasures of Goguryeo, the King of Yan can be given up, he only needs to.
Before Murong Han was happy too early, Sima Ji also talked about his own difficulties. Simply put, it was not such a simple matter for the Jin Dynasty to send troops. Of course, the Central Plains Dynasty must be famous for sending troops. The tone of the King of Yan that you pee at the north and I also want to send troops to the north is definitely not good. It cannot impress Luoyang, and it will take a certain amount of time to operate.
Furthermore, Sima Ji also needs a certain amount of preparation time to raise food, supplies, and inspect troops and weapons. If you just march from the western Liaoning Corridor, the consequences will be very terrible. Logistics can drag Youzhou to death, but Youzhou has just improved to a certain extent. If Goguryeo is destroyed, it will probably all be restored back to its original form. This cost is a bit high.
Just like the strategy to occupy the state, you must choose a cost-saving logistics method. You also need to order the Dongyi Captain of Pingzhou now that you must do a good job in grain storage and try to complete the autumn harvest next year. If it is still insufficient, you must find a way from Youzhou.
Murong Yun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. The King of Yan was willing to take the initiative to help, so he could not be picky. What's more, the great Jin Dynasty was so powerful that it destroyed more than ten countries in the southern expedition, which was even more eye-catching.
As long as you have the Great Jin behind you, what is it that you can wait for a while? It is easier than the Murong fight alone. Many people in the Murong family have learned about the true strength of the Great Jin. The territory that will take several months to march, and the soldiers with millions of soldiers, have spread as the warriors of the Southern Expedition return to the tribe.
"King Yan, I am really willing to fight Goguryeo with us!" Murong Wei, the leader of the Murong clan, suddenly stood up and stared at his eldest son with a burning look. Murong Han, who had just returned from Jicheng, spoke in disbelief. Because it was too unreal, he was a little lost when he was usually accustomed to the sound.
"Yes, my father, the territory of Pingzhou, governor of the King of Yan, was very annoyed by Goguryeo. I heard that we were incompatible with Goguryeo, so I already had this idea. I called me to discuss this matter this time." Murong Han explained the whole story clearly, including every detail, and a specific plan.
Murong Jie was thinking about it while listening, but the reason was flawless. The King of Yan was indeed the general of Zhendong in the Great Jin Dynasty and the commander of Pingzhou's military. There was indeed a reason to do so because something happened to Pingzhou. The plan was also perfect, at least for the Murong family. The Jin army mainly attacked Goguryeo in Beishan, and the Murong family was just rushing to attack. What else can I say?
"Call your uncle Murong Yun here!" Murong Ying pondered for a moment and said to his eldest son. He wanted to listen to what his younger brother who followed Nan Zheng said.
Not long after, Murong Yun came to hear the news, listening to his brother saying it while simulating various possibilities in his mind. After a long time, he spoke, "The King of Yan wants to destroy Goguryeo at once, otherwise I will not unite with us. If the King of Yan said, he has a great goal this time. Brother, I want to ask a question."
"Please speak frankly!" Murong Yi knew that his younger brother usually couldn't speak, and he would only speak when it was very important.
"If your brother is willing to serve the Great Jin forever, we are safe. If you have a strange intention, the fate of Goguryeo is the future of our Murong family!" Murong Yun spoke slowly, "The King of Yan is a cruel and ruthless person, but he treats us equally. He never discriminates against us Hu people, and treats us whatever he treats Jin people. But he must not be his enemy. If he thinks that one is his own enemy, it is time to eradicate the roots."
"The King of Yan has been repairing Linyi for a hundred days, and the 100,000 troops remained silent. As a result, he destroyed more than ten countries in a month with one move. This patience reminded me of a person."
"Who!" Murong Ling quickly asked, "You mean?"
"The commander of the Wei army who destroyed the Gongsun clan decades ago, and later Emperor Xuan!" Murong Yun signaled to brother, you can guess correctly, it was him.
Murong Wei nodded clearly. What do the Xianbei people want? For ordinary people, what the Xianbei people want is no different from what the Jin people want. Live! But for leaders like them, there is more. The Xianbei nobles need the same dignity as the Jin gentry, so that the gentry can treat each other equally, but these Jin gentry will never allow it. They even look down on their poor colleagues of the same clan, and can still be with the Hu nobles?
Murong Jie studied the Central Plains dynasty, but he definitely did not want to be like the Hun nobles. He said he was a noble, but in fact he was no different from the tenants.
"Then, what about the King of Yan?" Murong Yan looked at his younger brother, hoping to get the answer from here.
"The King of Yan is very fair!" Murong Yun left a saying like a panacea.
Sima Ji had just returned from the city and bid farewell to the delegation of Tuoba to Luoyang to pay tribute. In fact, Tuoba should have gone to Bingzhou when he went to Luoyang. I don’t know why he came to Jicheng first and then went to Luoyang.
However, according to his estimate, this matter was related to the capture of Hetao. When he left Luoyang, he said that he had a very good relationship with the Tuoba clan. Maybe Luoyang felt that he should come forward in person and recruit Tuoba clan.
"I hope I won't lose my chain at critical moments anymore! I shouldn't be able to do it. Now I have something to ask for, so I shouldn't be disrespectful!" Sima Ji murmured to himself. He knew the virtues of those gentry very well.
