Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 257 The difference between ruler and minister
When everyone arrived at the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion, Gao Jingzong hadn't had time to speak.Xu Jingxuan handed Gao Jingzong a stack of manuscripts with a worried face. Gao Jingzong opened it in a hurry, and his expression changed drastically.

The civil and military officials of the Beifu Army, who didn't know why, saw Gao Jingzong and shouted in unison: "The minister waits to kowtow to the king!"

Gao Jingzong "No courtesy, please take your seat!"

Although Gao Jingzong made a set of tables and chairs for later generations, it is a pity that people of this era do not recognize this, at least it has not formed a fashion in the Beifu army, and they all kneel on the ground.

At this time Gao Jingzong was already in chaos, sitting on the main seat, but his mind was wandering outside.Before leaving, Xi Chao told Gao Jingzong that Murong Jun's "serious illness" might just be a smoke.Gao Jingzong actually didn't know that in the original history, Murong Juan angered Dayan Emperor's Uncle Murong Ping because of his domineering, and this Murong Ping had an ambiguous relationship with Queen Kezuhun's family. The black hand dealt with Murong Juan, but Murong Jun didn't notice it for a while, and was plotted by Ke Zuhun and Murong Ping jointly.

But in this time and space, with the defeat of Murong Chui and Murong De, Yan State lost more than [-] soldiers and horses, and Tuoba Xianbei plotted against Murong Ke in the north, the situation in Yan State was almost in danger of getting out of control.So the Kezu Hun family and Murong Ping did not poison Murong Juan at all.Gao Jingzong's full hopes naturally fell through.

Secondly, Wang Meng lost Jingzhou carelessly. Xu Jingxuan is not a qualified intelligence leader at all. If Wang Meng hadn’t leaked clues to Xu Jingxuan on purpose, he would never have been able to track down the Jinyu Pavilion. "The real culprit behind the poisoning of Gao Jingzong, thus cutting off the possibility of the Beifu army and the Eastern Jin court recruiting peace.However, Xu Jingxuan beat the rabbit with grass and accidentally caught a big fish, riding a long history and core backbone Bohai Gaorou.

In this oolong anti-espionage incident, Gao Rou revealed a shocking conspiracy.Murong Jun not only pretended to be sick, but also borrowed a knife to kill someone.Use Gao Jingzong's knife to kill dissidents in the court and strengthen the imperial power.

Gao Jingzong couldn't judge the authenticity of the information for a while, Ning Yuan believed in it, but didn't believe it in nothing.The political situation of Yan State is far more complicated than Gao Jingzong imagined.In Gao Jingzong's impression, Murong Hao, the son of Murong Xin, claimed to be the king of Yan and established Qian Yan.Murong Jun, the son of Murong Hao, destroyed Ran Wei and occupied the Central Plains. Among the sixteen kingdoms, the former Yan, Hou Yan, Xi Yan, and Nan Yan were all established by Murong's Ministry.And what is even more unbelievable is that among the sons of Murong Hao, there are actually four founding emperors.

This is a very abnormal phenomenon in any royal family. Ever since the time of Murongxin, he had a falling out with his elder brother Murong Tuyuhun, and a powerful tribe of Tuyuhun was split from Murong.In Murong Hao's generation, there were also endless internal struggles. Murong Hao killed his elder brother, Jianwei General Murong Han, and his mother and brother, Zhenglu General Murong Ren and Guangwu General Murong Zhao.In the era of the third generation Murong Jun, no matter whether it is Murong Ke, Murong Chui or Murong De, as long as they have some talent, they are all suspected by Murong Jun.

However, this kind of large-scale internal strife not only did not lead the Yan Kingdom to perish step by step, but made the Murong tribe jump from a small tribe in the eastern Xianbei to the leader of the Xianbei tribe.

In this era, Gao Jingzong thought slowly, and finally discovered the "secret" of the prosperity and strength of the Murong tribe. Killing is the characteristic of Murong, and they rely on killing to enhance the vitality of the entire tribe and the country.The old honored nobles had reached the point where they had no intention of making progress because of their extreme wealth. Therefore, in order to give the newly promoted nobles a chance to be promoted, killing had to be carried out.

In fact, this is not only the "secret" of the Murong Ministry, but also the root cause of the internal struggle of the Chinese nation.However, China is relatively civilized, and this kind of "power" reshuffle is usually implemented through reforms or dynasty changes.In fact, thousands of people came, and every time the court changed, without exception, new old clans were set off and new nobles were established.When the new nobles become old nobles and don't want to attack, the country will either perish or continue through reforms...

Between one gain and one loss, there is always more gain than loss, so no one will take this kind of power game and mass killing as one thing.In fact, the "tyrant" of history is also playing this game, but he missed it.The imperial examination was recommended, and in order to take advantage of the poor family, the Guanlong nobles, Shandong nobles (seven clans and five surnames in the Sui and Tang Dynasties) and the Jiangnan nobles were shuffled.Under the counterattack of the old nobles, the Great Sui Dynasty perished.

In fact, the murder of Murong Juan in history was not necessarily due to the personal relationship between Murong Ping and the Kezu Hun family, or was mixed with factors of the old nobles' retaliation.Regardless of the real reason, Gao Jingzong must adjust his strategic deployment from now on. The strategic goal of destroying Yan State in one fell swoop and occupying the Central Plains is no longer possible.

If it weren't for Murong Jun's secret release of water, Gao Jingzong's Beifu army would not have the combat effectiveness to defeat the Yan army.In later generations, the Koguryo stick was blown into the "victory" of the Six Expeditions of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but it was Yang Guang and Li Shimin who also played a borrowed knife killer. Their real purpose was to weaken the army that was not under the control of the court and strengthen the imperial power.

Gao Jingzong's victory in Feng County and the victory in Meng County also have this kind of victory factor.If Gao Jingzong still had the strength to fight the Yan army with the Beifu army, then he would die a miserable death.

Gao Jingzong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Xu Jingxuan repeatedly reminded Gao Jingzong that Gao Jingzong really woke up.Gao Jingzong coughed, pointed to the map behind him, and said, "According to reliable information, after the beginning of spring, the Yan Kingdom will definitely counterattack aggressively. , Changyi, Feng County, Fuli, and Xiangshan may all become battlefields again. After the ice and snow melt, we must move the people east to Qingzhou, and of course we can also go south. The ghosts in the south of Siwu Mountain, if If there is enough manpower, maybe 500 million mu more farmland can be developed. Then we can feed several 10 more people.”

Ji Kan said with a smile: "In just a few months, the Yan Kingdom has lost more than [-] troops. This head is not a leek. If you cut off a fork, it can grow back in dozens of days. The loss has exceeded one-third. The country of Yan with an army probably also needs to recuperate!"

"Isn't it just a war?" Da Sima Chen Ying smiled and said, "It's not like our Beifu army has never fought a war, so it's worth transferring hundreds of thousands of people..."

Seeing him so tired and lazy, Gao Jingzong was even more angry.As a veteran in the army, Gao Jingzong had to give Ji Kan some face, even if what Ji Kan said was unreasonable, he could only listen to his persuasion patiently.But Gao Jingzong was not so polite to Chen Ying. Gao Jingzong gritted his teeth and said, "It's easy for you to say. From Dingtao to Feng County, from Chenliu to Changyi, it's all flat. If there is a loophole in the defense line, Thousands of cavalrymen from the Yan Kingdom leaked out. They were neither for killing nor for robbery. They only wanted to destroy, and within a month, they could completely destroy the hard work of our hundreds of thousands of troops and horses for a year. You know that our Northern Expedition used How many families did you go to?"

Chen Ying looked at Gao Jingzong, who was almost eating people, and was so frightened that he confessed again and again.

Cui Cheng wondered: "Your Majesty, can you not relocate the people, or do less relocation?"

"No!" Gao Jingzong said decisively: "There is no room for negotiation on this matter."

Cui Yao said: "This..."

Ji Kan just wanted to open his mouth, but before he could open his mouth, Gao Jingzong suddenly made a loud "snap..." and Gao Jingzong slapped it on the table again. Looking at Gao Jingzong's gaze, it became different.

At this moment, everyone has realized that they are now different from monarchs and ministers.
