Eastern Jin Dynasty: Starting from the son of the refugee commander who returned from the north

Chapter 49 Gao Ping Xi Jian
In the Xiangyang war zone, it relies on the Nanyang Basin. This vast plain area cooperates with the unique geographical position of Xiangyang City to defend the security of the defense line in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

Xiangyang City, an important military town, once became the most powerful military town by virtue of its natural geographical advantages surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The Huaihe Theater relies on the vast Huaihe River system.

The division of borders from the north to the south often takes the Changhuai as the cover of the great river.

Although this intricate water system cannot completely stop those military invasion forces from the north, the Huaihe water system is the biggest obstacle for nomads going south. Those nomads who prided themselves on being fierce riders completely lost their confidence in going south to fight.

The innate advantage that the nomadic cavalry relied on most was mobility in combat. In the vast Huaihe River system, the mobility advantage they relied on was completely lost.

For Jiehu, if Shouchun can't attack, then change to Xiangyang.

not to mention
Now the main forces of Hou Zhao are all in the north, fighting with Liu Yao of the former Zhao, and their energy is not in the south.

The south is now in the stage of strategic defense.

I am afraid that it is precisely because of this reason that Zhao Xun has the confidence and hopes that Su Jun's rebellion will break out as soon as possible.

Sometimes the northern and southern regimes are not comparing themselves better, but worse.

Whichever side's internal affairs are resolved, whichever side has the spare power to clean up the other side.

For Zhao Xun, he wanted to take advantage of Su Jun's chaos to strengthen his own strength and prepare for another Northern Expedition.

"It's just that there are not only the Yu family in the court, but also the Langya Wang family. Su Jun is not Yi Yi's generation, and his father's plan is really a trick out of the fire."

Zhao Yue has his own point of view.

"Since that's the case, my return to Jiankang this time is just to muddy the water in Jiankang. The Yu family and the Langya Wang family have long been incompatible, just like dry firewood. A little spark will be a little It will burn."

"Originally, I didn't want the young commander to participate in this prematurely, but the young commander is much smarter and more mature than his subordinates thought. Maybe you can participate in the following things."

Li Xia sat upright and looked at Zhao Yue with some relief in her eyes.

"What happened next?"

Li Xia nodded slightly.

"Come over here."

Zhao Yue leaned his head over, and the latter just said a few words lightly, and Zhao Yue showed a look of shock on his face.

"This"

"Shh!"

Li Xia made a silent gesture to Zhao Yue.

"Walls have ears. This matter is too treacherous to let outsiders know about it. Even if it is one of our own, one less person who knows about it will be more guaranteed."

Zhao Yue nodded slightly.

This thing is really outrageous.

Learn the story of Wei Wu?
Rely on the Son of Heaven to command the princes?
but
After thinking for a while, Zhao Yue found out.
This might work!
only.
The risk is a bit high.

But it's too early to think about that.

What Li Xia said was just a big plan, and what he was asked to accomplish was a small goal.

Plan the princess:

Suian county lord - Sima Xingnan!
On the other side, on the edge of the surging Yangtze River, there are two big cities lying quietly on the edge of the Yangtze River like giant beasts.

There is a city at the foot of Beigu Mountain, named Iron Weng City.

In front of the mountains in the southern suburbs, there is a city that is more than twice the size of Iron Weng City. The gate of the city is wide open, and there is a constant stream of merchants and villagers coming in and out of it. , People coming and going are so lively.

This bustling city is the city of Jinling County, and it is also the prefecture of Jinling County.

"This Xijian is living a comfortable life. This Jinling County is so prosperous and the population is prosperous. The annual tax is probably enough for him to support 10 people. Tieweng City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to attack from the mouth of the river, it is inevitable. , Difficult difficulty!"

Bian Xian, a native of Langya and a staff member of Nandun Palace, was somewhat moved.

The corners of Sima Zong's mouth cracked at this time, he looked at the Xiongcheng in front of him, how could he think so much?

"It's better to advance to the city to replenish supplies, and then ask Gaoping Hou Xijian to prepare the boat and hurry to the north."

Now that he is in Jiangzuo and not in Jiangbei, Sima Zong still has a strong sense of insecurity in his heart.

"Father, I think it's better not to enter the city. It's true that Gao Pinghou and his father have some friendship, but if Jiankang sends a messenger to Gao Pinghou, how much is the friendship between father and Xi Jian worth?"

Prince Sima Chuo is much more realistic than Sima Zong.

"good."

Although Su Xiao is big, he is not stupid.

"Gao Pinghou and Your Majesty are definitely not in the same group. There were many conflicts with my father before. Once in the city, I will be the fish and he will be the sword."

"Then look for a boat to cross the river north at night."

When Sima Zong was told by them, he was a little scared.

"Your Majesty, please don't disturb me, and let my subordinates go to the city to find out what Gao Pinghou said, and then decide whether to go to the city or not."

Bian Xian stood up at this moment.

"It's quite risky to go, I really don't want to let you."

"Salty food is a matter of loyalty to the king, and that's all. Don't say it's quite risky. It's ten deaths and no life, so what?"

Hearing Bian Xian's words, Sima Zong was almost moved to tears.

"Okay, sir, please go."

Looking at Bian Xian's back, the gratitude on Sima Zong's face gradually disappeared.

Originally, he didn't have to agree to Bian Xian's request.

But after all, there is still some time before the sky goes dark, so it is better to let Bian Xian be the pawn of the horse, and test Xi Jian's tone.

This day, he eats less and drinks less
Five Stones Powder, Fine Wine, Maggie.
He didn't touch any of them, and to be honest, he was a little bit overwhelmed.

In the prefect's mansion of Jinling County.

Xi Jian looked at the letter from Jiankang in the study, flipped through it lightly, and then put the letter back on the copybook.

"Ming Gong, this is Jiankang news"

In Xi Jian's study, there is also a general in military uniform standing.

"It's a letter written by Zhong Shuling. Sima Zong plotted to escape. He asked me to stop Sima Zong at Jingkou and send him to Jiankang."

Zhongshu Ling?
The general in military uniform froze for a moment.

"Ming Gong means"

"Don't bother."

Xi Jian's hair is half white, and there are wrinkles on his face that represent this decline. He is already over 50 years old, and in a few years, he will be the age to know his destiny.

Fortunately, his body is strong enough, even now, he still has a lot of energy.

"Don't worry about it? It's just that the Taiwan Province has pursued it. The memorials of the censors may overwhelm the Shangshutai."

Xi Jian thought about it, nodded slightly, and said, "As long as he doesn't enter the county, I don't care."

Tube?
Why bother?
The trouble Yu Liang caused, do you want me to wipe his ass?
Is he such a person?

Besides
Yu Liang is a strict man who obeys the law, and Xi Jian has long disliked him.

If Yu Liang can't stop this turmoil, his reputation in Jiankang will drop a step further.

There will always be times when wind reviews hit rock bottom.

Just as Xi Jian was thinking, the voice of the steward came from outside the door.

"Reporting to your lord, there are people outside the door who claim to be the aides of the king of Nandun and ask to see him, saying that it is urgent."

King Nanton's staff?
Xi Jian frowned.

Is this forcing him to do it?
