Chapter 615 Two Emperors(2/2)
The King of Jin promised to hand over Lueyang County of Qinzhou to them for farming and herding. The nobles were not very happy, but in order to curry favor with this person who was not a prince but was better than a prince, they finally agreed.
To put it simply, King Jin now knows very well that Guanzhong is his foundation and the backing for his fight for the throne.
The emperor is still hesitant, worried about Feng Yi's attitude towards Di Qiang, and has not abolished Liu Yi's position as the crown prince. It is understandable that the king of Jin must make plans early.
But just because they understand, it doesn't mean they support doing so.
This is to divide the great Han people and create a new core.
"The war in Hebei is over." After listening to Chen Yuanda's words, Liu Cong was silent for a moment and said: "After two years of fighting, we still can't win it. This is God's will. From now on, the four counties of Xinxing, Leping, Taiyuan, and Shangdang
It's just a matter of standing firm and using the favorable terrain to fend off thieves. My son has fought a great situation in Guanzhong. It is the time when we are advancing bravely and vigorously. How can we retreat?"
"Your Majesty, no!" Chen Yuanda advised again: "Hebei is a fertile land with a well-off household registration. How can we let Shao Xun hold it in his hands? Even if he is temporarily defeated, don't be discouraged. After some rectification, you can fight again."
Liu Cong shook his head and said: "I have made up my mind, no more words."
After finishing speaking, although he was disgusted with Chen Yuanda in his heart, he still explained: "Now there is no place to stay in Hebei, and there is no way to raise food, grass, livestock, carriages and horses. If it is transported hundreds of miles from Pingyang, not to mention the cost, it is still
Yi was cut off by Tuoba Xianbei and came here on his back. There was a big war this year and the treasury was emptied. If we send a large army to Hebei, where is the money and food?"
Chen Yuanda originally held his head high, but after hearing this, he gradually lowered his head.
War is all about consumption.
Although Bingzhou has mountains and rivers both inside and outside, which is extremely conducive to defense, the mountains and rivers are crisscrossing it, making it difficult to transport food and grass. What can we do if Jinyang is in hand, but not in hand? Liu Kun often invited Tuoba Xianbei to go south from Yanmen.
.
In fact, this was also something mentioned when discussing national policy.
The Eastward Movement faction has never been able to explain how they could rule Hebei for a long time and stably when Jinyang fell into the hands of their enemies. Without paying attention, Tuoba Xianbei cut the Han Dynasty into two halves, east and west.
When the late emperor was in power, he only conquered Bingzhou, Guanzhong and even counties in Hexi. Why did Hebei be entrusted to Shi Le to conquer? It was not without reason.
In the end, because this shortcoming could not be solved, the "cross-Yong merger" became a national policy.
What Liu Cong is saying now means that if you, Chen Yuanda, are capable, you can take down Jinyang despite the threat of Tuoba Xianbei, and then go north to Yanmen to drive the Tuoba family completely to the grassland.
By that time, let alone attacking Hebei, moving the capital to Jinyang would not be a problem.
Can you do it? If you can't do it, don't push it.
What is national policy? You may not understand the true meaning of national policy.
"After the forage turns green in the next spring, we will immediately mobilize all the ministries to go west." Liu Cong made the final decision.
Liu Can showed a proud smile.
The west of Tongguan is his territory. After a few years of running it, he will not be able to escape the throne.
