Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty - #4664 - Vol 4 Chapter 4322: Sima Yuan's belly child

Xi Sengshi sighed: “I said, Shuyuan, do you take it for granted? It is impossible for Liu Yu to let Liu Yi really escape from Jiankang at this time. It is tantamount to giving away half of the city’s defense Let it go, and now that the warship of the demon thief has arrived outside the city, it is impossible for Liu Yu to withdraw to Jiangbei with his more than 20,000 horsemen. Just like when Sima Yue escaped from Luoyang back then, the hearts of the people immediately dispersed, as long as the enemy army sent light soldiers or cavalry to follow, without a big fight, they would collapse themselves, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to reach the land of Wu.”

Xie Hun smiled slightly: “Isn’t Jiankang City supported by Liu Yu? What are you afraid of? Besides, I don’t want Liu Yi to evacuate with all the more than 10,000 people. I only need to bring three to five thousand people. These troops, It’s not like taking out half of the city’s defenses at once. Just like Sima Rui, when he left Luoyang to recruit troops in the south of the Yangtze River, didn’t he affect Sima Yue’s army.”

Xi Sengshi’s eyes widened: “Leave only three to five thousand people? What can such a small number of people do? How can we form a separate regime and stand on our own after arriving in Wu?”

Xie Hun laughed: “In recent years, the land of the Three Wus has recovered well. Although it is not as good as the heyday before the Sun Enzhi rebellion, it is much better than the period before and after the Huanxuan Rebellion. The household registration is also 50. There are more than ten thousand households, and the number of hidden households is even more than this. As long as we can return to Wudi and recruit soldiers in the name of King Qin, it will take less than two months, and at least a team of 50,000 people can be pulled up. .”

Xi Sengshi hooked the corner of his mouth: “I’m afraid it’s not that easy, at least our two families can’t pull so many soldiers and horses now.”

A fierce light flashed in Xie Hun’s eyes: “Who said it’s just our two families? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and when the country is in crisis, everyone joins the army. With Liu Yi’s 5,000 troops, when the time comes, they will be ordered by the emperor. Go to various manors to conscript and join the army. If anyone dares to refuse, he will be punished as conspiring with a demon. Hmph, first of all, go and copy a few Zhuangzi of Liu Tingyun’s family, to show off, and see if anyone dares to refuse!”

Xi Sengshi murmured: “If you do this, aren’t you afraid of falling out with other aristocratic families in the city, and won’t be able to get along with each other in the future?”

Xie Hun sneered and said, “You are afraid of this, how can you do something big? The aristocratic families in the city are willing to go with us. Those who go back to Wu to recruit soldiers, let them go together and let them go back to recruit soldiers to join us. If they stay in the city, Or those who can’t come back, such as the Liu family and the Yu family, we will first take the emperor’s order of conscription, and go to forcibly recruit the Ding Zhuang in their manor, what the Yuan emperor did when he went to the south, let’s do it again.”

Xi Sengshi laughed: “Understood, in the name of King Qin, we actually incorporated and controlled the manors of these families. If Jiankang really falls, we can even establish a new king, and then these people who were incorporated during the war The land belongs to us, right?”

Xie Hun laughed: “Huituo, you finally understand. In normal times, we don’t have the name and excuse to form an army by ourselves, but now, it’s a good opportunity given to us by God. Liu Yi is a warrior, and he doesn’t know how to fight on his own.” Dealing with the noble family, we need him to fight, we need him to be the villain and lead the army to recruit Ding Laff, but the benefits we get in the end, such as the control of these manors, belong to us. After the battle, Liu Yi must want to hold the military power in his hands again and do his great cause of the Northern Expedition. We will give him soldiers and let him fight, but the control of Wudi belongs to us. It’s all about Liu Tingyun once, no matter how many soldiers he has, how many days can he last without food and supplies?”

Xi Sengshi nodded with a smile and said: “Gao, it’s really high, Shu Yuan, I really convinced you today, such a dangerous situation, you can still take advantage of it, and make it a chance to restore our family’s power. It’s just that …”

Speaking of this, he frowned: “First, you are not the head of the Xie family. If Xie Fu agrees to do this, is there any variable when the Queen comes back? This is the second. , we have to be famous to do this, and this requires the cooperation of the prince of the Sima clan, but if this person is also ambitious and wants to lead the army by himself in the end, then what should we do?”

Xie Hun frowned slightly: “Didn’t Sima Rui have no way to recruit troops by himself back then, and all depended on Wang Dao, so after the Sima family went south, they have no power.”

Xi Sengshi asked rhetorically: “But didn’t Sima Rui also want to get his hands on the military power later, and no longer be a puppet emperor? First he wanted to seize the military strength of the king’s leader, and then he wanted to seize the military strength of the exile commander. The Rebellion of Dun and the rebellion of taking over Su Jun, although they were finally suppressed by the black hand Qiankun, they also made a good situation ~ www.readwn.com~ and turned hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers into the civil war …Sima Dezong is a useless person and can be controlled, but Sima Dewen is a normal person, even if you can really bring him to Wudi, how will you control him in the future?”

Xie Hun’s eyes sparkled, and he fell into deep thought.

Xi Sengshi continued: “Moreover, Sima Dewen has the closest relationship with the current emperor, far closer than Sima Rui’s relationship with the emperor back then. Once Jiankang falls, Sima Dezong will be captured or die. , Sima Dewen is the first heir to the throne, even if Liu Yu needs reinforcements from the Three Wus, he will never let you take Sima Dewen away, I am afraid, even if you want to realize this plan, you have to find someone else.”

Xie Hun gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: “I have a second candidate here. That is Sima Yuanxian’s posthumous son, Sima Xiuxi!”

Xi Sengshi took a deep breath: “What? What posthumous son? Didn’t Sima Yuanxian beheaded by Huan Xuan and wiped out his whole family back then? ?”

Xie Hun sneered and said: “Sima Yuanxian’s whole family was captured by Huanxuan because of Liu Laozhi’s surrender, but he had an outer room outside. When he was defeated, he had a posthumous child. This outer room was the daughter of the chief of the Di clan. After Sima Yuanxian’s defeat, the woman fled back to the tribe and gave birth to a son named Sima Xiuxi. This name was given by Sima Yuanxian when she was pregnant, and she gave a token and told Sima Yuanxian’s biological mother. Sima Daozi’s concubine, Wang Guobao’s younger sister, Wang Shi. And this Kuaiji princess, with this Sima Xiuxi, found me!”

Xi Seng Shi murmured: “Is it the Queen of Kuaiji? She was also a famous lady in the capital. Later, Wang Guobao and Sima Daozi were defeated one after another, so they couldn’t live in seclusion. How could you have a relationship with her?” connect?”
