Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 200 Xiahou
As time went by, the children of the Liubei branch of the major families were dissatisfied with the remote command of the Jiangnan direct clan, and dissatisfied that they were just asset managers instead of being professional managers of these huge family properties.As a result, the children of the Liubei branch began to push the whole country of Yan to march south, and Murong Jun unexpectedly died of illness. After Murong Jun died, serious internal strife began to appear in the political arena of Yan, and the national power declined rapidly. Fu Jian first helped Fu Jian to unify the north, and then helped Fu Jian to march south with 110 million troops.

On the surface, this is Murong Jun and Fu Jian's ambitious plan to unify the world and end world disputes.In fact, they were all promoted by the children of the Liubei branch. They just wanted to gain absolute control of the family through war.Regained ownership of northern wealth, fields, and mansions.

Of course, the direct descendants of the gentry families also looked down on these bastards, so during the Battle of Feishui, all the families of the Eastern Jin Dynasty united and made a concerted effort to speak out.Xie Xuan and Xie An's uncle and nephew led on the battlefield, while outside the battlefield, it was the sons of the gentry who scouted for intelligence, bought, and instigated rebellion against Diqin generals and officials.History is written by victors. In fact, Zhu Xu's words "the frontline army was defeated" led to the complete defeat of millions of troops. Do you think this is really possible?
Of course, the Eastern Jin court was quite dissatisfied with the gradual resistance of the Liubei Branch in recent years, otherwise it would not have pushed a series of Northern Expeditions at any cost.

Five years from Yonghe.In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Chu Pou (chǔpóu, the father of Chu Suanzi) was the governor of the conquest, and the military governor of Xu, Yan, Qing, Yang, and Henan.Chu Po led 3 horses and marched to Pengcheng (now Xuzhou).

In the sixth year of Yonghe, Yin Hao, the governor of Yangzhou, was appointed as the general of the Chinese army, and the five prefectures of Xu, Yan, Qing, Yang, and Henan were all in charge of the Northern Expedition.After the failure of the Northern Expedition,

In the seventh year of Yonghe, on December [-], he led [-] soldiers and horses in the Northern Expedition.The Northern Expedition failed again.

In the eighth year of Yonghe, Yin Hao made a northern expedition and attacked Xuchang.

In the ninth year of Yonghe, Yin Hao led a large-scale northern expedition with 8 horses. When Zhang Yu rebelled, Xie Shang was defeated again, so he had to retreat to Shouyang.Lost again.

In the tenth year of Yonghe, Huanwen made a northern expedition. In the early stage, Huanwen went smoothly and directly attacked outside Chang'an City in Guanzhong.However, it happened that Jiangxi (not the current Jiangxi Province, but refers to the land west of the east-west section of the Yangtze River, which is about the Anhui area) refugees Guo Chang and thousands of people hijacked Liu Shi, the history of Chen Liu, and attached himself to Yao Xiang.Threatened Jiankang, so the Eastern Jin court mobilized troops to guard against Guo Chang and Yao Xiang, so it reduced the supplies originally provided to Huanwen. Due to the lack of supplies for Huanwen, it happened that Wang Mengjin said that Fu Jian adopted the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness. Huanwen's Northern Expedition failed.

In the 12th year of Yonghe, Huanwen made the second Northern Expedition and won a complete victory to recover Luoyang.

In the third year of Shengping, Xie Wan made the Northern Expedition.In fact, the Eastern Jin court carried out eight Northern Expeditions in just ten years from the fifth year of Yonghe to the third year of Shengping.Of course, the purpose of the Northern Expedition of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was not pure. After all, the children of the northern branch were also children of their family. When the children were disobedient, the adults would beat them a few times, but they would never kill them. They held them high every time. Put it down gently.

To put it bluntly, the Northern Expedition of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was due to the power and interest competition between the gentry and the common people between the north and the south.

Wang Shu continued: "We have a national enmity with the Yan State, a great hatred. Of course, before the state affairs, no matter the enmity or enmity. If Murong Jun annexed Gao Jingzong, he would go south in the next step! So not only can we not send troops to attack Gao Jingzong now! Jingzong, but also needs to fully support Gao Jingzong as a lip defense!"

Although Chu Suanzi is an outstanding female politician, she is more of a woman, and what she thinks about most is her son.She probably heard and knew the name of Gao Jingzong more than any court minister.Gao Jingzong was not only the governor of Henan righteous people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but also a genius doctor who was exiled from immortals.If Gao Jingzong could be cured of his stubborn illness, let alone supporting Gao Jingzong, she would not be stingy even if Gao Jingzong was granted the title of duke and marquis.

Chu Suanzi said: "I don't know how the imperial court will support Governor Gao at the moment?"

Gao Jingzong and Gao Dudu are just a region in name, but to people in the officialdom, they are two completely different signals.When the ministers heard that Chu Suanzi called Gao Jingzong Gao Dudu, this meant that Chu Suanzi had approved the title of Huan Wen's canonized Governor of the Righteous People of Henan.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the old minister thinks!" Wang Shu said knowingly, "If the name is not right, the words will not go well, and if the words don't go well, the work will fail. Now the high governor is just a white body, and he is barely a refugee in the north. The helping hands of the wealthy families may not be satisfactory..."

Chu Suanzi thought for a while and said: "Xiayi has now been captured by Governor Gao, so Ai's family has become a favored person, changing Xiayi to Xiayi Marquis State, canonizing Gao Jingzong as Xiayi County Marquis, with [-] households in Shiyi. , what do you love ladies think?"

King Kuaiji and Da Situ Sima Yu said: "The Queen Mother is wise!"

"Minister and others seconded"

All the court officials praised Chu Suanzi for his wisdom.

Chu Suanzi said: "Since all the lovers have no objection, let's draw up an order, and add Gao Jingzong as the governor of the thief hunting, the governor of the five prefectures of Yan, Qing, Bing, Ji, and You. Matters needing attention, unseal the warehouse, and allocate part of the materials prepared for the Northern Expedition to support Xiahou."

Wang Shudao: "Old minister please order to go north!"

Sima Xi said: "Wang Shang Shuling is old, it's not appropriate to rush around too much, I'll go this time."

Wang Shudao: "Lian Po is still able to fight for food at seventy. Although Shu dare not stand up to the sages, he thinks he is not yet old and dim..."

The Lu family of the four great gentry clans in Jiangzuo, Lu Na, the minister of the official department, said: "Na Dai is in his thirties, vigorous and vigorous, and traveling in the Northern Expedition. Why not serve Na Dai!"

Huan Yi, the prefect of Liyang (named Ye Wang, good at rhythm, it is said that the famous song Plum Blossom Three Lanes was improved on the basis of Huan Yi's composition) also said: "A mere county marquis, please trouble the third-rank officials of the court to promulgate Canonizing the imperial decree is too important, let him develop arrogance, why not go there!"

Well, all parties in the court began to fight.The imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has always attached great importance to martial arts, and many generals have been promoted to rich families because of the war. At the beginning, Xi Jian and Tao Kan were all named princes because of their military achievements.

Chu Suanzi didn't favor any side. At this moment, Chu Suanzi discovered that the four big clans with the surnames of Chaotangqiao and the four big clans of Jiangzuo were the only ones who could not see the Xie family of Chenjun.Since Xie Shang and Xie Yi died of illness one after another, and Xie Wan couldn't afford to get sick, the entire Xie Clan has no leader.

Thinking of this, Chu Suanzi felt a little uneasy.As a girl, Chu Suanzi is very sensitive to safety. She can stabilize the court and gain power in the world, mainly relying on two, one is her uncle Xie Shang, and the other is Huan Wen.Now that the Xie family is showing signs of decline, she feels uneasy.

Chu Suanzi said: "My dear friends, don't fight anymore. Now An Shi is still playing around and not doing his job properly. It is not an option to go on like this. In the name of Ai's family, he will be sent to An Shi to be a servant. Beidi declares that there will be another appointment after reinstatement!"
