Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 280 No way, it's so accurate

[Later, when the new emperor Tuoba Si ascended the throne, Cui Hong was already among the "eight princes".

As the son of Cui Hong, Cui Hao, who "reads the classics and history extensively. Mysterious images of yin and yang, and the words of a hundred schools of thought, all of which are related to synthesis, and the study of righteousness and principles are beyond the reach of others."

Tuoba Si is good at yin and yang, and believes in "celestial phenomena", so Cui Hao does what he likes, combining the political situation with celestial phenomena many times to predict the situation of the world, and they are all quite accurate. 】

[When Emperor Ming and Yuan ascended the throne, natural disasters occurred frequently in Pingcheng, the capital city, resulting in failure to harvest crops and many livestock deaths. Coupled with the intensified oppression by local officials, the people lived in dire straits.

In order to ease the living pressure of the people, Emperor Ming Yuan decided to move the capital to Yecheng, but Cui Hao strongly opposed it.

Cui Hao explained: Although moving the capital to Yecheng can alleviate the current famine, it is not a long-term solution.

Internally, it will cause unrest among the people; externally, it will cause the prying and invasion of Qu Beggar and Rouran, and it will not be conducive to the future control of the Central Plains.

However, people's hunger is also an urgent problem to be solved. Therefore, under Cui Hao's suggestion, Emperor Ming and Yuan selected poor households to go to the rich Ding, Xiang, and Ji prefectures to seek food, and personally cultivated the fields to persuade farmers to teach farming and mulberry to restrain the powerful. .

In the second year, the food was ripe and people's hearts were stable. 】

[In the first year of Taichang (AD 416), after Liu Yu's northern expedition to Qin, the navy went north from Huaisi.

Liu Yu wanted to go west to Guanzhong along the Yellow River, so he borrowed the route from the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty believed that Hangu Pass was dangerous, and one man was in charge of the pass, and ten thousand men could not open it. Liu Yu's westward march would inevitably be useless.If our army attacks Liu Yu from the rear, it will surely succeed.If Liu Yu's name is to defeat Qin, but he actually wants to be Wei, then he is leading wolves into the house, so he can't make excuses.Emperor Ming and Yuan Tuoba Si thought it was reasonable and decided to adopt it.

Cui Hao retorted: "After the civil strife in the later Qin Dynasty, Liu Yu took the opportunity to attack Qin. He was determined and would not attack us rashly."

If we block Liu Yu's way to the west, then he must go north to attack Wei, that is, we will suffer disaster for Hou Qin.

Why don't we agree to make an excuse and let Liu Yuxi attack Qin, and then we send troops to cut off Liu Yu's back, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.If Liu Yu wins, he must be grateful for our excuse. Although he won Guanzhong, he is far away from the south of the Yangtze River and cannot hold it for a long time. In the end, he will fall into the hands of my great Wei; if Hou Qin wins, we also have the name of helping.It is the best policy to stand on the sidelines and let Liu Yu and Hou Qin lose both.

In the end, Tuoba Si still didn't listen to Cui Hao's words. After Wei Jun fought against Liu Yu, he was defeated by Liu Yu's "Queyue Formation" to defeat the Northern Wei Iron Cavalry. Tuoba Si regretted it very much. 】

[In the second year of Taichang (AD 417), Wang Yi, the prefect of Qi County in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Wang Yi advised Tuoba Si: "Liu Yu is in Luoyang, take this opportunity to cut off his retreat, and win without fighting."

Tuoba Si thought it was reasonable, and it happened that Cui Hao was teaching himself scriptures, so he asked him: "Liu Yu defeated Qin and has arrived in Tongguan. What does Aiqing think will happen in the future?"

Cui Hao replied: "There was civil strife in the later Qin Dynasty, and brothers killed each other. Liu Yu's army is strong and fierce, and he will definitely win."

Tuoba Si asked him again: "Who is better, Liu Yu or Murong Chui?"

Cui Hao replied: "Liu Yu."

Tuoba Si asked: "Why?"

Cui Hao said: "Murong Chui came from a noble family. With the prestige of his father and brother, as long as he has a little talent, he can succeed. But Liu Yu came from a humble background and had nothing to rely on. He wiped out Huan Xuan, Murong Chao, and Lu Xun with a single call, and took control The Eastern Jin Dynasty was Cao Cao's current generation, and the purpose of defeating Qin was to increase his prestige, and after Qin was destroyed, he would definitely usurp Jin."]

[In the third year of Taichang (AD 418), when a comet passed by, Emperor Tuoba of the Ming and Yuan Dynasties was shocked, and hurriedly called a group of ministers to discuss.

Only Cui Haodao broke the secret with a word: "Huibo, the evil spirit is born, it is the response of the Jin Dynasty to be destroyed, and Liu Yu usurped it."

In the fifth year of Taichang (AD 420), Liu Yu really abolished Sima Dewen, Emperor Gong of Jin Dynasty, and made himself emperor. . 】

"Is this person really able to watch the sky at night?"

"Perhaps Tianxiang is just an excuse, but in fact he has already seen through Liu Yu's character."

"Cao Cao in this world? Hehe!"

[Being plagued by minor illnesses all the year round, Tuoba Si was worried that no one would inherit his business after his death, so he asked Cui Hao with a secret.

Cui Hao suggested that Tuoba Tao, the eldest son of the emperor, be made the crown prince. Tuoba Si not only accepted it readily, but also selected six ministers for his son to assist in the administration. Among them, Cui Hao was You Bi, sitting in the east of the West Chamber. 】

[In the seventh year of Taichang in the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 422), Liu Yu died of illness.

Seeing this, Cui Hao hurriedly dissuaded him and said: "Yu Xin died, the party and the party have not yet left, and when the soldiers approach the border, they must lead each other to resist the war. The merits are not guaranteed. It is better to slow it down and treat him badly. It will be more difficult for his strong ministers to fight for power. You must rise up, and then order the generals to show off their power, but you can take over the land of Huaibei without laboring."

It's not that Cui Hao disagrees with the southern expedition, but he does not suggest that Tuoba Si should go south at this time.Because Liu Yu has just passed away, even though he is the leader of the country, he will definitely unite with the outside world if the soldiers are overwhelmed. We should wait for a while and wait until the auxiliary ministers left behind by Liu Yu are "fighting for power" before sending troops. At that time, the land of Huaibei can be collected without any effort.

However, how could Tuoba Si let go of such a good opportunity?He felt that since Liu Yu could take advantage of Yao Xing's death to take advantage of the Northern Expedition to Qin, why couldn't he take advantage of Liu Yu's death and go south?
Thinking about it, Tuoba Si's inner drama at that time was: "You can't predict everything, can you?"

So he ignored Cui Hao's advice again, took Xi Jin as commander, and crossed the Yellow River to attack Song Dynasty. 】

[Cui Hao saw that the boat was done and the dispatch of troops was a foregone conclusion, so he changed his mind and tried his best to help Tuoba Si with suggestions.

He believes that although the Song army did not have many defenders in various parts of Henan, the Song army was good at defending the city. The Wei army was mainly cavalry and was not good at attacking the city. It can come slowly, and it is quite dangerous to attack with sharpness.

Therefore, the army should ignore these cities, quickly take advantage of the land, and directly reach the Huaihe River line with cavalry, and at the same time harvest the grain and grass in the vast occupied area.In this way, although the scattered cities behind the army are owned by the Song army, but they are isolated from the south of the Yangtze River, they must abandon the city and enter Qingzhou.

This strategy is based on the fact that the Wei army that arrived at the Huaihe River can resist the reinforcements of the Song army. If it fails, it will be easily attacked by reinforcements and the Song army staying behind in Henan.

Because of Liu Yu's failure to manage Guanzhong and his death due to illness, Cui Hao's judgment on the military strength of Wei and Song has undergone great changes. He has great confidence in Wei's ability to block reinforcements and isolate the north and the south. 】

[However, Xi Jin, the commander-in-chief of the Wei Army, believes that the Wei Army can completely use its superior force to defeat the Song Army's city in Henan before the Song Army's reinforcements arrive, so that the strategic goal can be quickly achieved, and at the same time it is more secure and less dangerous.

Xi Jin is naturally a native of Xianbei, and since the time of Wei Taizu Tuobagui (Tuobasi's father), he has commanded the forbidden army, since Tuobagui defeated Murongbao in Canhebei, and once conquered the tribes in Mobei, and obtained more than [-] miscellaneous animals , and even served as a pioneer after Tuoba Si succeeded to the throne, and then conquered Mobei, capturing more than [-] families and countless cattle and sheep.

In comparison, Xi Jin is a veteran general with illustrious military exploits. Although Cui Hao had the experience of Liu Yu's Northern Expedition and Dai Jin before, his voice in military expeditions was obviously much weaker than that of Xi Jin.

How to choose between a veteran and a fledgling rookie?

As expected, Tuoba Si finally adopted Xi Jin's suggestion and sent troops to attack the city. 】
