To Lu Jun's disappointment, this topic surprised Lu Yao, but it was only a surprise.

Since the first year of Yongping, the kings of the clan have been wiped out, and only the king of the East China Sea, who came from the imperial family, has eliminated all enemies through conspiracy, betrayal, war, and conspiracy again and again. In the past few years, the king of the East China Sea has been able to command him, and he has been subdued from all over the world; Driven the emperor like a plaything, regarded the courtiers as clay sculptures and wooden tires, the courtiers were selected as assistants, and the famous generals were filled with their own mansions, and their authoritarian and hegemonic hearts were clearly revealed. Occasionally, those who dare to act recklessly are almost all revenants under the knife.

It's a pity that in this troubled era, the emphasis is on real military strength, and the authority of the king of the East China Sea is inseparable from the support of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under the shogunate. In the case of the unfavorable war in the Central Plains and the loss of troops and generals in the shogunate of the king of the East China Sea, how much strength can the king of the East China Sea get? How long will the prestige of the East Sea King last?

At this time, unless there is extremely strong foreign aid to join the Central Plains war situation and make the shogunate gain new support in the military aspect, whether it is the title of the king of the East China Sea, or the official position of the prime minister, the military position of the governor of the six states, or the status of the leader of the clan kings, they are all in the air, and they will collapse and shatter at any time. In fact, the county lord of Jingling secretly instigated his future husband to lead the army south, precisely to make up for the huge loophole in the military strength of the Shogunate of the King of the East China Sea.

It's a pity that the speed at which the situation in the Central Plains has deteriorated has exceeded the original imagination of the county lord of Jingling. In just a few decades, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the shogunate of the King of the East China Sea collapsed like melting ice and snow, leaving only the remnants of the defeated army trapped in Juancheng. Based on his understanding of Shi Le, Lu Yao believed that Juancheng was no different from a piece of soft tofu in the eyes of this thief, and it only needed a sharp tooth and a slight knock to it to rot. The information reported by the spies two days ago made Lu Yao more certain that when the soldiers and horses of Juancheng fled westward, Shi Le would launch a thunderous blow and completely destroy the rule of the Great Jin Dynasty in the Central Plains.

Taking the life of the king of the East Sea as a gift, Shile was arrogant enough. But he did have this arrogant qualification: first, the life of the king of the East Sea was indeed in the hands of Shile; Second, Lu Yao also needs the king of the East China Sea to live.

The King of the East China Sea is the only surviving and appealing clan in the Jin Dynasty today, and it is the link that can maintain the forces of all parties in the Great Jin Dynasty. Once the king of the East China Sea dies, the Great Jin Dynasty will inevitably fall into disintegration, and each force will be in a hurry to seize its own interests and opportunities, and it will no longer be able to take care of the menacing Hu people. Lu Yao didn't want to see this happen. On the contrary, if the king of the East China Sea can be preserved in the upcoming rout, it will definitely greatly enhance the status and prestige of the Youzhou group in the imperial court. What's more, the king of the East China Sea is still the father of the county lord of Jingling, which is also a good thing for the county lord.

Thinking of the county lord of Jingling, Lu Yao fell into a faint soft mood a little inexplicably, and got rid of it in an instant.

The question is, why did Shile give himself the life of the King of the East Sea as a gift? What does this cunning enemy want to achieve? Lu Yao has no answer to this for the time being. I have to admit that the history that I once vaguely remembered is completely different from what he actually faced, and the hidden advantages that Lu Yao can rely on are becoming less and less.

Countless thoughts turned in his heart in the blink of an eye, but Lu Yao had always been able to bury all hesitations and wavering deep in his heart, and the expression on his face did not change because of this. He replied casually: "...... It's a great gift. ”

"It's not a big gift, but everyone takes what they need." Lu Jun replied. He leaned forward slightly and said, "The war between Shile and the King of the East Sea has dragged on for a long time, and both sides are exhausted; As the main combat force of the thieves, the commanders of various alien races are more anxious to appease the clansmen and recuperate for the time being. Due to the repeated military disasters in the Central Plains, it has long been empty and dilapidated, and it is not the best strategy to fight with my brother's elite in Youzhou for the barren land of the Central Plains. Therefore, the vast majority of the thieves hoped to go east, taking advantage of Gou Xi's new tattoo Qingzhou and unstable foothold, to break it, and then divide the prefectures and counties in the Qingxu area, so that they could not only eat but also raise soldiers. ”

Lu Yao laughed: "Haha, haha, Shi Le has a good calculation." But as the general of Pingbei of the Great Jin Dynasty and the governor of Youzhou, I am in the position of fighting rebellion and quelling chaos, protecting the territory and the people, why should I consider the plan of this thief? Now there are 100,000 troops in the Youji Alliance, and all of them are pointed out by the banner...... Wouldn't I have the ability to protect Juancheng and keep the Shogunate of the King of the East China Sea safe? If Shile was going to threaten me with the safety of the King of the East China Sea, that would be foolish! ”

Lu Jun replied slowly: "Brother, in today's situation in the Great Jin Dynasty, there is no one who suffers more than the Huns. The Xiongnu and Han countries embraced the desert and went south to threaten Luoyang, and the momentum was like fire. The imperial court's passes and fortresses in Hedong and Hanoi have all fallen, and the national capital has no grain and no reinforcements, and it is really a time of danger. The soldiers of Youji are already one of the few strong soldiers in the Great Jin Dynasty, and they are the hope that the center of Luoyang is looking forward to. But if the elder brother is entangled in a vicious fight with the Shile thief in the Central Plains, even if he has the ability to protect Juancheng, when will he be able to pull out his hand to rescue Luoyang? Brother crisscrossed the north, the tiger looked at the eagle, and the prestige shook the sea, a heroic person like you, of course, will not be afraid of the threat of Shile. But for the sake of a group of flies and ants, Pingbai sat back and watched the national capital be in danger, and gave the Huns a chance. Is this the work of a wise man? ”

Lu Yao glanced at Lu Jun, he didn't follow Lu Jun's words, but slowly picked up the files that had just been scattered on the ground and stacked them neatly; Then pick up the black and white chess pieces and put them back in the wooden jar at your feet. For a moment, the tent was silent, except for the chess pieces that were gently thrown into the wooden pot, making a slight crashing sound.

Seeing that Lu Yao seemed to be moved, Lu Jun continued: "Shilenai is a Hu, and many of his subordinates are from herdsmen, so they are neither of the Xiongnu clan, nor are they loyal to the Xiongnu at all. The reason why he accepted the official title of the Xiongnu Han State was because when he was in a mess, he needed to rely on the prestige of the Xiongnu to unify his troops; Once his own power grows stronger, he is unwilling to be driven by others. After countless fierce battles, Shi Le finally overwhelmed the army of the king of the East China Sea, and the hinterland of the Central Plains was devastated, leaving Luoyang empty...... But if Luoyang easily fell into the hands of the Huns, why did they come after years of hard work? How could they be willing to sit back and watch the Huns capture Luoyang and form a trend that swept the world? Speaking of this, Lu Jun lowered his voice, almost like a whisper: "Regarding the attitude of the Huns, Shi Le and his brother are actually the same. In this case, why don't the two families suspend their troops for the time being. Shile can clean up the situation in the Central Plains as soon as possible and raise troops to the east; The elder brother can also reduce his worries a little and embrace the East China Sea King to march into Luoyang......"

"Michihiko, I don't understand what you mean." Lu Yao suddenly got up and interrupted Lu Jun's whispering. Perhaps feeling a little depressed, he suddenly opened the tabernacle, and Lu Jun saw the dark and dreary camp outside the tent, the undulating arrow tower and sentry tower, and the elite armor soldiers patrolling with high torches and sonorous steps. Even in the middle of the night, there still seemed to be a solemn murderous aura rising in the entire barracks, which made people involuntarily hold their breath.
