Chapter 646: Wei will descend to Jin

When Zhang Yu heard this, he arched his hand and said: "General, this matter must not be allowed, once the imperial court moves the capital to Luoyang, the actions of our army will be greatly restricted, and the plan to cross the northern expedition is very likely to be completely disrupted!" ”

"Oh, there is such a strict zhòng, I would like to hear your high opinion." Hua An pretended to be surprised and hurriedly asked.

Zhang Yujin said: "General, at this moment, our army takes Luoyang as its base camp, gathers and trains the army, and can cross the river north at any time to recover the lost land in Hebei, and once the imperial court moves to Luoyang City, our army must leave tens of thousands of troops responsible for guarding Luoyang, and all kinds of grain and grass materials must also be given priority to the imperial court, which is equivalent to adding a huge burden to our army, so that our army can not act as it pleases, and moreover, in the imperial court, all the ministers of the world covet land, after they enter Luoyang, Maybe what will the surroundings of Luoyang City become? Therefore, I thought that before recovering Hebei and Liaodong, it was safe to let the imperial court stay in Jiankang City. ”

Hearing this, Hua An nodded, and said softly: "What you said, Ben Jiang has thought of it a long time ago, at this time, it is indeed a lot of inconvenience to let the imperial court go to Luoyang City, but have you thought about it, Luoyang is the capital of the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty after all, at this moment, Ben will recover Luoyang and repair the palace, if you don't write a letter to ask the court to move the capital, what will the court think, will they doubt the general, think that the general has different intentions?" ”

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said softly: "The general can write to the imperial court, explaining that the surrounding shape of Luoyang City has not yet stabilized, and let the imperial court postpone the relocation of the capital, and after Luoyang City is stabilized, it will not be too late to move." ”

Hua An smiled. He said loudly: "The situation around Luoyang City would have been truthfully reported to the imperial court, but whether to move the capital to Luoyang immediately or not should be decided by the imperial court itself!" As a courtier, Ben had no right to interfere with the decisions of the imperial court. ”

When Zhang Yu heard this, he nodded helplessly, and said softly: "I hope that the imperial court will not move the capital immediately, otherwise, it will be for our army." It's going to be a huge burden! ”

"Haha! You don't have to worry anymore. The palace in Luoyang is just a simple cleaning, if the imperial court decides to move the capital, we will spend more than half a year to completely repair the palace in Luoyang City. Not a year and a half. The imperial court will not move the capital to Luoyang. And within this year, our army will inevitably be able to recover the lost territory in Hebei, when the time comes. Our army moved the base camp to the north bank of the Yellow River, and then continued to attack north, so that the imperial court could move the capital to Luoyang City with confidence. Huaan said loudly.

Zhang Yu nodded and said lightly: "It turns out that the general has already made up his mind, and his subordinates are worried about it, haha!" ”

"General, scouts report, the Wei generals south of the Yellow River have all surrendered to my Great Jin court, and now, south of the Yellow River, I have all been counted in the Great Jin." At this moment, a small colonel reported loudly.

Hua An was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Are all those Wei generals really all defecting to my Great Jin?" ”

The junior colonel hugged his fists and said: "General Huiyu, those who have taken refuge in my Great Jin include Zhou Cheng of Xuzhou of Wei State, Wei Tong of Yanzhou, Lehong of Jingzhou, Zhang Yu of Yuzhou, Gao Chong of Pingnan, Lu Hu, General of Luozhou, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. ”

"General, if this is true, then even if all the generals of Wei south of the Yellow River have defected to my Great Jin, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou occupied by Wei will be all recovered, and they will be bloodless." Zhang Yu said excitedly.

Hua An heard this, in addition to excitement, more calm, he from the Wei generals surrendered to the Great Jin, it can be seen that at this time the Wei State is already at the end of the strong crossbow, that is to say, the Yan State army has completely gained the upper hand, and has the strength to destroy Wei, the Wei generals know that it is impossible to fight against the Yan State only with their own strength, and the Great Jin Dynasty court because of Ran Min's claim to be the emperor, it is completely impossible to reinforce the Wei State, for this reason, the Wei generals in order to save themselves, in order to fight against the Yan State, they have to choose to take refuge in the Great Jin Court, after all, The Great Jin Dynasty is also the orthodoxy of China, and after taking refuge in the Great Jin Dynasty, he fought against the Yan army with the main force of the Jin army, and had a chance of winning.

"General, such a good thing, why are you still so unhappy!" Zhang Yu asked in a low voice.

Hua An calmed down and said softly: "The people of Wei will surrender to my Great Jin, which shows that Ran Min is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and Wei may not be able to support it for long, and once Ran Min is defeated, the army of Yan will be on the north bank of the Yellow River, and now Yan is still a subject country of Great Jin, and we are friendly troops, but if it is not my race, its heart will be different, and Yan may betray Great Jin at any time, and when the time comes, my Great Jin will face the threat of Yan alone." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu nodded, and said softly: "What the general said is also that Yan and Wei are fighting each other, and I can only reap the benefits of the fisherman in the Great Jin, but Wei cannot be self-sufficient in grain and grass, and it is reasonable to be at a disadvantage so quickly!." ”

"Wei can't be self-sufficient in grain and grass, didn't I sell grain and grass in Guanzhong to Wei in large quantities? Will Wei still be short of food at this time? Hua An asked in surprise.

Zhang Yu hugged his fists and said: "General, Wei has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of people, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is extremely huge, but they almost do not produce food, such a huge demand for grain and grass, it is difficult to maintain it only by purchasing, besides, since the main force of our army has left Tongguan, the grain and grass transported from the Guanzhong direction have been given priority to supply our army, and recently, the general has recruited 50,000 troops in the Luoyang area, and there are tens of thousands of craftsmen and other talents transferred from the Guanzhong direction, and nearly 200,000 horses need to eat. Our army's demand for grain and grass is also huge, so it can no longer be sold to Wei.

"I see, no wonder the generals of Wei took the initiative to take refuge in the Great Jin, it turned out that the Hebei area was already strictly short of grain, and there was no grain and grass as a backing, no matter how heroic Ran Min and the beggar army were, they were not the 200,000 elite opponents of the Yan State!" Hua An Zhengse said with emotion.

"General, the Wei State is about to collapse, should the main force of our army cross the river to the north, if it is a step slower, a large area of land in Hebei will be occupied by the Yan State." Zhang Yu asked softly.

Hua An shook his head and asked, "How much grain and grass does our army have, how long is it enough for 200,000 horses?" After speaking, he looked at Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu hurriedly replied: "General, the grain and grass in Guanzhong are being transported in a steady stream, and at present, a total of 100,000 denier military rations have been hoarded in the Luoyang area, which is enough for the army to consume for two months. ”

Hua An nodded and said softly: "These grains and grass are enough, Zhang Yu, you immediately go to the various armies to give orders, so that all soldiers and horses can actively prepare for war and be ready to cross the river to the north at any time." ”

"Yes, General." Zhang Yu clenched his fists and took the order, turned around and left the big tent of the Chinese army.

After Zhang Yu left, Hua'an hurriedly wrote a letter to the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, in which Hua'an made a detailed report to the court on the matter of recovering Luoyang City and preparing to renovate the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and asked the court to move the capital to Luoyang.

After the letter was written, Hua'an sent his henchmen and soldiers to Jiankang City in the south of the Yangtze River.

#####

In the palace of Jiankang City in the south of the Yangtze River, the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty were immersed in joy, and all the generals of the Wei State south of the Yellow River took refuge in the Great Jin Dynasty, which was definitely a godsend for the Great Jin Dynasty.

At this time, the Great Jin Emperor Sima Dan was already eight or nine years old, but he was still in his infancy, so he could not be in charge of the government, and the political affairs of the imperial court were still decided by the Empress Dowager Chu Garlic and the ministers of the dynasty.

At this moment, since the generals of Wei have sworn allegiance, then the Great Jin court naturally wants to send a large army to Yan, Henan, Qing, and Xu to take over the cities of these states and counties, and arrange official positions for these generals.

"Report, Queen Mother, send an urgent report from the direction of Luoyang." Just when everyone was discussing which team to send to collect Yan and Qingshuzhou, Hua'an's letter was delivered to the palace hall.

"Bring it in." Seeing that it was an urgent report from Luoyang, Chu Garlic hurriedly ordered.

After the letter was presented, Chu Lianzi opened the letter and glanced at it, with a satisfied look in the corner of his eyes, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is really a double happiness!" General Hua not only recovered Luoyang City, but also began to renovate the palace of the old capital, and asked when the imperial court would move the capital. ”

When all the ministers in the hall heard this, they all showed surprised expressions, and a minister hugged his fists and said: "Queen Mother, Luoyang has just been recovered by our army, and the shape must not be very stable, and the security issue is particularly worrying, so the ministers think that the matter of moving the capital is not urgent, and it needs to be discussed in the long run." ”

"Yes! The queen mother, Luoyang has been occupied by Hu Lu for decades, the royal spirit has dissipated, and I have crossed the river since the Great Jin Dynasty, the capital of Jiankang City, has gone through five emperors, the royal spirit has been gradually formed, so we must not rashly move the capital to Luoyang, so as not to affect the national fortune. Another minister objected loudly.

In fact, the reason why these ministers opposed the relocation of the capital to Luoyang was not for the safety of the imperial court and the national fortune of the Great Jin Dynasty, but for their own selfish interests, after all, the Luoyang area has been hit by several wars, and the productive forces have been dealt a fatal blow, if the Great Jin Dynasty moves the capital to Luoyang, it is bound to spend huge manpower, financial and material resources to restore the productive forces of the ravaged Central Plains, so that the tax revenue of Jiangnan is bound to increase greatly, and this will inevitably drag down the economy of Jiangnan and damage the interests of the Jiangnan clan and ordinary people.

In the eyes of the ministers of the world, their own interests are greater than one qiē, and they have long forgotten that a large area of land in the north is the territory of the Great Jin, so naturally they will not agree to move the capital to increase their own burden. (To be continued......)
