Chapter 100 The Five Hu are unified into Qin
Liu Muzhi's eyes sparkled, and his tone was also subdued: "The Xianbei of the Murong clan has always been under the banner of the Jin Dynasty before, but it is on its own, after Liu Kun's defeat, they almost became the only Jin force in the north with Qianliang." However, after Ran Min usurped the throne of Zhao State, the Murong clan saw the enemy's internal strife and had an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he moved south, killed Ran Min, unified the Central Plains, and established the Yan State. ”
Liu Yu sighed: "When they set themselves up as emperors, they were tantamount to defecting from the Jin Kingdom, and they were white-eyed wolves." But it's no wonder, who let the Great Jin just retreat to Jiangnan and can't recover the country. ”
Tan Pingzhi nodded: "The Great Jin Dynasty has not made any efforts, the great warlord Huan Wen also led the army to the Northern Expedition when the Yan State sent troops to attack Ran Min, but unfortunately in the battle of Fangtou, he was defeated by the hands of the famous general Murong Chui of the Yan State, and there has been no chance to pass through the north again, which is a pity." ”
Liu Muzhi said: "After the demise of the Xiongnu forces, the Xianbei people occupied the vast grasslands in the north, there is the Daiguo of the Tuoba clan in the north, and the Yan country of the Murong clan in Liaodong, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the cavalry is very large. Moreover, their iron-smelting skills are very high, and even war horses can wear iron armor, known as armor and cavalry, and no one can stop them when they hit. ”
Wei Yongzhi's face showed a hint of fear: "I have seen those terrible armor and cavalry costumes, they are really like the god of death, people are wearing iron masks, horses are wearing iron armor, and swords and arrows cannot enter, if they are encountered on the battlefield, I really don't know how to solve it." ”
Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "If the cavalry of this Yan State is so powerful, why did they die in the Qin State later?" As you said earlier, the military capabilities of the Di people who established the Qin State are not strong, how can they beat these armored cavalry? ”
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "And Shihu, Ran Min's defeat is a truth, after the Yan State won the Central Plains, although there were elite generals, but there was internal chaos, the clan general Murong Chui defeated Huan Wen and made great contributions, but was suspected and framed by Emperor Murong Wei, and had no choice but to flee from his homeland and go to the Qin State. ”
"The Qin State was established by the Di people Fu Hong, their clan moved into the Central Plains during the Cao Wei period, when the Wuhu Rebellion, their tribe wandered around, after the destruction of Shi Zhao, there was a power vacuum in the Guanzhong area, these Di people took the opportunity to gain a foothold in Guanzhong, established the Qin State, and the Han famous minister Wang Meng served as the prime minister of the Qin State."
"The current Qin lord Fu Jian, for the popularity of a wide range of people, although it is a foreign race, but he has learned the essence of benevolence and righteousness of the Han family, lightly punished the meager endowment, and recuperated with the people, so that the Guanzhong, which has experienced years of war and chaos, can be restored, plus he let go of Wang Meng, a great talent, and has almost perfectly solved the contradiction between Han and Hu that has not been solved for a hundred years, so even in the face of the most powerful wave of offensive when the Yan Kingdom emerged, it was tenaciously withdrew."
Later, when Yan was in turmoil, Murong Chui came to vote, Fu Jian and Wang Meng thought that the time had come, so they poured all the country's troops to attack Yan. Although the Yan army had a large number of troops, the commander Murong Ping was incompetent and had no ability to command the army at all, so the 400,000 army collapsed at the touch of a button, and the Yan State also perished, and the monarchs and ministers became prisoners of the Qin State. ”
Liu Yu said with a smile: "This Murong clan betrayed the Great Jin Dynasty, established a puppet dynasty in the north, framed Zhongliang, and destroyed the Great Wall, it is really not a pity to die." ”
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "They were lucky, they met Fu Jian, a benevolent monarch, who opened his net to the monarchs and ministers of the dead country and spared his life, not only that, but also gave him some false officials to do to calm his heart." This is true for the Liang Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom, and the Dai Kingdom of Mobei that he destroyed. ”
Liu Yu's eyes widened: "What, the king of the dead country won't be killed?" Isn't that a legacy for yourself? Although a tyrant like Shi Hu is not desirable, this is too merciful. ”
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Yes, the internal troubles of the Qin State probably lie in this. I heard that Fu Jian recently ordered the Di people living in Guanzhong to be scattered and relocated, which made the Di people, who were already underpopulated, even more scattered. Originally, because he wanted to treat the Han people well, he has been suppressing the Di leaders in his country, causing a lot of dissatisfaction, and in this way, it has planted a fire for the empire, and the seemingly powerful Qin State may be more fragile than we think. ”
Liu Yu shook his head: "No matter how fragile it is, it is a superpower with a million miles, with a million armor, by virtue of it, Yongzhi, you are from the Qin State, do you think what I said is right?" ”
Tan Pingzhi sighed: "Don't say anything else, this Fu Jian is indeed a benevolent and righteous gentleman, under his hands, our life is much better, than when we were in Yan Kingdom, it was a heaven and earth, so when we fled to the south, we originally asked more than a dozen families to go together, but in the end, only our Tan clan made the trip, to put it bluntly, because we were doing well, we were reluctant to leave." ”
Wei Yongzhi also said: "If it weren't for the fact that we are Heavenly Masters and Daoists, we wouldn't have been able to make up our minds. The taxes to be paid in Qin are even less than those in Dajin, and if we weren't Han Chinese, we would really be reluctant to leave our homeland. ”
Liu Yu sneered: "But no matter how good Fu Jian is, he is a foreign barbarian after all, even if he can treat my Han people well in this life, will it be the same for his children and grandchildren?" If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and the place of the Han people is better to let the Han people sit in the world. Besides, I also have famous ministers and virtuous ministers in Dajin, although there will also be corrupt officials like Diao Kui's brothers, but in general, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so why should they be the subjects of a foreign race? ”
Tan Pingzhi laughed: "It's still Brother Liu who is right, listening to what you said, we firmly believe that this time Dajin is not wrong." ”
Liu Yu nodded and looked at Liu Muzhi: "That is to say, the Wuhu Rebellion has basically ended, and now the north, the Central Plains and Guanzhong, Longyou, Hexi, and Liangzhou are in the hands of the Qin State, while Bashu, Jingxiang, Lingnan, Lianghuai, and Wuyue are in the hands of the Great Jin, and they are basically divided equally among the world." It's just that the population of the Qin State is four to five times that of the Great Jin, and the military strength is also quite different, right? ”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, the military strength of the Qin State is at least three times that of the Great Jin, but the northern cavalry cannot give full play to its advantages in the water network in the south, which is the same reason that the infantry in the south will suffer a big loss in the face of the impact of the cavalry in the northern plains." So over the years, the two countries have been in a balance of power, but in the middle, the Han prime minister Wang Mengmeng has made great contributions, if he hadn't strongly opposed the southern invasion of Qin, I was afraid that the war would have been fought long ago. ”
Liu Yu said disdainfully: "No matter what, as a Han person, I don't want to serve the country, but to be the minions of that foreign race, there is nothing to praise." ”
