Xie An's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, by all means!" ”

On Sima Yao's black face, his face was full of anger: "Xie Shizhong, what do you mean by this?" You also said that Murong Chui's wolf ambition will never be thrown into my Great Jin, but he wants to take the opportunity to stand on his own, since he can't be used by us, why do you want to keep him? Wouldn't it be best to let Fu Jian kill him and avoid future troubles? Do you want to let the Murong clan rebel and become self-reliant and establish a pseudo-Yan again? ”

Xie An lifted his court clothes, knelt down, saluted with both hands, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, Weichen thinks that it is better to keep Murong Chui at this time than to let Fu Jian kill him." If there is no Murong to raise troops, I am afraid that Fu Jian will quickly pacify all the rebels and stabilize the world of Qin. When the time comes, the Qin State, which has no internal worries, will march south again, and we want to reproduce the great victory in Weishui, but it will not be so easy. ”

Sima Yao's expression softened slightly, but his tone was still a little cold, and he raised his hand: "Xie Shizhong, you get up first, and say something slowly." ”

Xie An stood up, still with his hands together, if he had a wat board in his hand at this time, it would be the same as being above the court, he looked at Sima Yao, and said calmly and seriously: "Your Majesty, since Murong Chui has always been, it is just a mutual use and cooperation, he needs to lead the Qin army to my Great Jin, and we will defeat and destroy the main force of the Qin army, and then he will have a chance, and we also need his ventilation and secretly cause chaos." The population of the Central Plains in the north is several times that of our Great Jin, if it is a unified and powerful country, and the strength of the country is to march south, it will be difficult for our army to stop, and even if it wins, it will be greatly damaged and suffer heavy losses. ”

Sima Yao hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "There is Xie Shizhong who is worried about me, there is such a mighty and majestic Beifu army, and the Huan clan in Jingzhou, who are also loyal to the country, and are still pursuing Hu Lu, even if there is an anti-Hu unification in the north, can't we win?" ”

Xie An smiled slightly, and looked at Wang Guobao on the side: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, at this time, we should take advantage of this time to make contributions to the Northern Expedition, but this is not enough to have the Beifu Army, and we also need all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court to take practical actions to share worries for the country and the monarch." ”

Wang Guobao's face was slightly red, and he didn't dare to answer, Sima Yao said softly: "Xie Shizhong's meaning, it seems that someone is stopping the Northern Expedition?" What kind of person is so bold as to dare to stop my Great Jin from recovering the great cause of the north? ”

Xie An smiled and shook his head: "Weichen doesn't mean this, Weichen means that in the first battle of Weishui, the Qin army was defeated, and although our army won, it also consumed several years of grain reserves, and next, to reward meritorious soldiers, it is a large amount of expenditure, the treasury is empty, if you want to enter the Central Plains again, you also need the family lords in the Sanwu region, and you need to do your best for the country." ”

Sima Yao nodded thoughtfully: "I understand what this means, hey, at the time of this big war, but the family lords of Wu Di donated a lot of military rations, and sent servants to join the army, and now that the battle has been won, not only can they not be rewarded, but they also have to let the family pay a large amount of money, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

Xie An nodded: "Yes, but the Northern Expedition is the national capital of my Great Jin, and now the chaos in the north of the Qin State is beginning to appear, but it is not yet out of control, so we still need people like Murong Chui to raise troops and completely mess up the world of the Qin State, so that we can have a chance of success." ”

Sima Yao's brows finally stretched, and he nodded with satisfaction: "I see, I misunderstood Xie Shizhong just now, after all, you are old and planning for the country, and you are far-reaching." Then the matter is left to you. If Murong Chui is willing to lead the army to surrender, then I will forgive him for his previous sins, record his previous exploits, and give him wealth and nobility, if he refuses to come to my Great Jin, as long as he can raise troops in the north to make trouble, so that my Great Jin can take advantage of it, what conditions do you need to give him, what secrets help him, you can take care of yourself as appropriate, and you don't have to play to me one by one. ”

Sima Daozi's face on the side changed, and he said: "Brother Huang, this, this seems to be inappropriate, this is a matter of peace, I am afraid that it still needs to be discussed by the important ministers of the court." ”

Sima Yao waved his hand: "I don't think it's necessary, didn't Xie Shizhong say it just now, there are many people, in case the news is leaked, it is not a pity for Murong Chui to die, and it will ruin the great cause of the Northern Expedition of my Great Jin, but it is a pity for the ages, this time I will first do a good job in the aftermath of the Battle of Weishui, on the one hand, rest the army, reward the meritorious soldiers, on the other hand, you can also accumulate food and grass, recuperate, and wait and watch the changes in the north. ”

Xie An directly rubbed his waist and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty Shengming, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Although Sima Daozi, Wang Guobao and others on the side were unwilling, they could only follow Xie An to shout long live.

Sima Yao's face was full of smiles and high spirits, at this moment, Liu Yu and the others had already entered the square and lined up in a line, and a large number of Qin army prisoners also began to enter the square under the escort of the infantry cavalry.

Sima Yao hooked the corners of his mouth, looked at the unkempt and topless captives of the Qin State, and said with a smile: "Are these the elite of the Qin army?" It is said that the Qin army is invincible, and it has destroyed countless countries in the past few decades, and I think it is nothing more than that, far less powerful than the strong men of my Beifu. ”

Xie An smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, these are not only prisoners on the battlefield, but also the Fu Qin clan who took the opportunity to surrender to my Eastern Jin Dynasty. ”

Sima Yaoqi said: "There are still people who take the initiative to surrender? ”

Xie An nodded, pointed to the front of the team, a person wearing cloth clothes, not like an ordinary captive, wearing a high crown, quite a bit of a scribe's temperament, but with a high nose and deep eyes, at first glance it was a person of a foreign race and said: "This person is the Qingzhou Thorn History of the Qin State, Baron Le'an, Fu Lang is also." After the defeat of Qin's Shuishui, our army took advantage of the situation to pursue and attack Pengcheng in Huaibei, and Fu Lang, who was the assassin of Qingzhou, took the initiative to surrender to Gao Su, the general of our Beifu Army, so he also appeared at this prisoner sacrifice meeting today. Because of the suddenness of the incident, this Fu Lang only arrived in Pengcheng yesterday, and Weichen didn't have time to explain it to His Majesty, so he had to let him appear at this prisoner sacrifice meeting, and his life and death were decided by His Majesty. ”

Sima Yao smiled and said: "The dignified history of the state assassin, please surrender directly, such a major event, Xie Shizhong will not report it?" That's it, the major affairs of the military aircraft will be dealt with by you together, and according to the law of the Great Jin, Fu Lang will be pardoned and promoted to the rank of knight. ”

Wang Guobao suddenly spoke: "Wait, dare to ask Xie Shizhong, why did Fu Lang, as a member of the Qin State clan, take the initiative to surrender?" Aren't you afraid of being suspicious of surrender? ”
