"Northern Expedition?"

Director Wang shook his head, and although he was respectful, he expressed his opposition firmly.

"Although there are 100,000 soldiers in Jiangdong, most of them are refugees who fled north. They are short of food and clothing, and lack of armor and guards. The real ones who can be called tigers are only 30,000 to 40,000."

"After this calculation, there are no 100,000 soldiers at all. But I heard from merchants from all over the north and south that there are only 50,000 soldiers from Qingzhou among the ten counties of Qingzhou. In addition, those who refugees from Xuzhou and Yanzhou who surrender to Liu Yu, are afraid that there are no less than 100,000 soldiers available."

When the King of Langya Sima Rui heard this, the momentum that had been slightly aroused was immediately exhaled.

"Ah, in this way, wouldn't it be that you should sit idly by Liu Yu's title of honor and be unable to do anything!"

Seeing Sima Rui's face full of depression, Director Wang immediately spoke out to comfort him.

"King, Liu Yu has no sufficient reputation except for some military achievements. Now he is taking the blame for the world and is truly a disaster to be the emperor. The only thing he relies on is the military power he has accumulated over several years. It will be a short time since the warriors become the country."

"The most important thing for us now is to raise our troops to advance west first, and first fight against the Jiangzhou governor Hua Yi, who disrespects the orders of the king. When he takes control of Jiangzhou, the river line can be placed under the orders of the king."

"When the bandits of Gou Xi and Liu Zan who were entrenched in Nanyang and Du Tao in Xiangzhou were wiped out, and they could gather their strength, whether they were going westward to Bashu, or the northern expedition to Heluo or Qingxu, they could do it calmly."

When Director Wang said this, he said meaningfully.

"Just like Emperor Guangwu of Han restored the country."

When King Sima Rui of Langya heard this, his depressed heart became alive again.

"As a matter of fact, Zhong's father was still very thoughtful. However, Liu Yu betrayed Jin's enthrone this time, so he could not sit idly by this, otherwise he would be ridiculed by the people of the world to supervise the situation but do nothing."

Director Wang smiled and said.

"If you want to defeat Liu Yu, the best way is to defeat him."

Sima Rui became interested when he heard this.

"I would like to ask Zhong Father to say more."

"Liu Yu's adversary to the emperor this time will definitely be unpopular. The loyal and virtuous people among the scholars and commoners of the states and counties under him will definitely raise troops one after another. In addition, tens of thousands of officials from Taiwan gathered in Qingzhou, so the so-called transformation will definitely not last long."

After hearing this, Sima Rui nodded constantly. He thought that those officials who had been wandering to Qingzhou must have been forced by Liu Yu. As long as someone takes the lead, all kinds of changes that oppose Liu Yu in the future will definitely continue.

"The Sima family is very nice to you, such as Xun Sikong and Fu Situ. The so-called killing oneself and achieving benevolence, and the so-called sacrifice oneself for righteousness is at this moment!" Sima Rui kept praying in his heart.

"How can we understand the various prefectures and counties?" Sima Rui suddenly remembered this matter again.

After all, it was the same thing as he and Director Wang discussed secretly behind closed doors about the traitor Liu Yu's embezzlement and proclaiming emperor, but his open attitude was another thing.

Just at this moment, the waiter outside the door came in to report that it was Gu Rong, Chief Shi Jizhan, He Xun, Min Hong and Xue Jian who came to ask for a meeting, and had already entered the gate.

"The five men of Jiangdong came together?" Director Wang smiled softly and looked at King Sima Rui of Langya.

"I will accompany the king and go and greet him in person."

When the King of Langya Sima Rui heard this, he immediately stood up and accompanied by Wang Dao to greet the five people.

Gu Rong and the other five were known as "Five Jun". They were all rich families in Jiangdong. If it weren't for Wang Dao's contact, Sima Rui's reputation alone would not have invited these five people.

When Sima Rui personally invited the five people into the house, as soon as he sat down, Gu Rong, the leader of the five people, asked straight to the point.

"King, have you already known that Liu Yu had falsely called Emperor Han?"

"I just learned about it." Sima Rui smiled bitterly.

"What will the king plan to deal with it?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I have just discussed with the King of Kings." Director Wang took the conversation and then explained the strategy that the two of them had just discussed.

After hearing this, Gu Rong, Ji Zhan and others nodded in agreement.

"No, not bad, the war is dangerous, so it's safe to see what it will happen." Ji Zhan said, "When Hua Yi in Jiangzhou is destroyed, it will not be too late to accumulate strength to fight the Northern Expedition."

"In order to support the scholars and refugees from the north, the people of Jiangdong are still exhausted. It is indeed not advisable to easily attack Qingxu in the north." He Xun also said in agreement.

"However, although we did not raise troops to fight the north, we still had to send an edict to fight the bandits, so that everyone in the world knew that although the king was in Jiangzuo, it was the hope of the royal family."

"The King of Liang in Jiangzhou has just passed away. Now, except for Guanzhong, there is only one king left in the entire world. The king should add another position, so that he can order the ministers of Jin to destroy the Hulu and Qingzhou thieves."

Bingzhou, Pingyang City.

Inside the imperial palace of the capital of the Huns and Han Kingdom.

"...How can the barbarians be controlled? I am afraid that the summer is dirty and stinky, and the people are disturbed, so I led all the heroes to encourage each other, strengthen the true soul of the Han Dynasty, and attack the barbarians who are usurped, eliminate the evil spirits of the riots, so that the people can get their place, and the people will be in harmony with their bodies..."

A thin young man in his twenties was holding a silk book in his hands and trying to calmly recite the manifesto.

"Hahaha, let's regain the true soul of the strong Han?"

Suddenly, a hearty laughter interrupted the young man's recitation.

The young man who was reciting was shocked and quickly "thumped" and fell to the ground.

"Mr. Kuaiji County, what do you mean? I just smiled."

Liu Cong, the emperor of the Huns Han Dynasty, who was sitting south, was stunned when he saw this and then said with a joke.

"Your Duke of Qi, Liu Yu, is going to strengthen the true soul of the Han Dynasty at this time, and to lead the strong Han troops to save you, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. Do you think you are saved and are going to escape from my palm?"

After Liu Cong, who was already drunk, said, the officials burst into laughter in unison among the Hu Han generals who were attending the banquet.

The young man who just read the manifesto was Sima Chi, the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty who was captured by the Huns and Han State. After being captured to Pingyang, the Emperor of the Huns Liu Cong appointed him as the Duke of Kuaiji County, the Han State of the Huns.

However, at any banquet, Liu Cong always asked Sima Chi to wear a green hat and stand with the eunuch, acting as a waiter for wine, and doing his best to humiliate him.

At this time, the Hun Emperor Liu Cong and his ministers were already drunk. Now, seeing Sima Chi being so scared that he was kneeling on the ground, he was so excited that he laughed again.

"Duke of Kuaiji County, Your Majesty asks you, you will answer!"

A Hun general next to him asked proudly.

"Yes, I asked you something, why don't you answer? Are you not afraid of me getting angry?" Liu Cong said with a full smell of alcohol.

When Sima Chi heard this, he dared not remain silent anymore. He quickly spoke.

"Liu Yu is just a thief in Qingzhou. I didn't know what I knew at the time. I thought he was a loyal minister and a good general. I was encouraged by villains and gave him the title of Duke to show his throne, in an attempt to resist His Majesty's power."

"Now I think about it, Your Majesty's power is the will of heaven, and it is not something that human power can stop. It is really stupid."

"Now Your Majesty's great Han Dynasty Jin Dynasty has long been the destiny of heaven. Even if Liu Yu now calls Han the emperor, that is just a pseudo-Han. How can you compare with Your Majesty's great Han?

When Liu Cong heard this, he was stunned at first, then pointed at Sima Chi with his fingers and burst into laughter with satisfaction.

"Mr. Kuaiji County Duke, I know the general idea!"

"However, when I was hostage in Luoyang and you were King Yuzhang, I and Wang Ji came to you. Wang Ji introduced me to you. You said you heard my name for a long time and showed me the Yuefu song you wrote, saying, "I heard that you are very good at writing verses, so try to help me see." At that time, Wang Ji and I wrote "Ode to the Great Deeds", and you appreciated it very much. I led me to shoot arrows in the imperial hall. I got twelve points, and you and Wang Ji both got nine points. You gave me Zhe Gong and Yinyan. Do you remember?"

When Sima Chi heard Liu Cong talk about the past in Luoyang, he couldn't help but feel sad, but he didn't dare to cry sadly, so he could only endure the pain in his heart and answered.

"How dare I forget these things? When I think about it now, I just hate that I can't recognize Your Majesty's emperor's appearance early!"

Liu Cong said proudly again after hearing this, "Hahaha, if it weren't for your Sima family's flesh and blood, I would probably not have the appearance of the emperor now."

Sima Chi quickly replied carefully.

"Your Majesty, this is God's will! God has made our Sima family unharmonious, just to make Your Majesty obey the will of heaven and to replace Jin with the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Cong was very satisfied with Sima Chi's answer. He hugged a beautiful palace servant who was warmed by the wine next to him and said to Sima Chi.

"Duke of Kuaiji County, this beauty is my nobleman and the granddaughter of Liu Yin, a famous scholar in Bingzhou. Now I will give him to you as your wife, so you must treat her well."

Hearing Liu Cong say this, Sima Chi quickly thanked him.

"However, I once heard Shi Le and Wang Mi say that Liu Yu of Qingzhou has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and now he occupies 20 counties in his three prefectures and 20 counties. I'm afraid he will become our strong enemy in the future." Liu Cong finally recovered a little bit of soberness.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. When we conquer Chang'an and completely eliminate the Sima family's lackeys, we can start a 100,000 army and advance east along the river. At that time, the pseudo-Han Liu Yu will definitely die and destroy the country." Liu Yao, the sect king who was also drunk next to him, replied loudly.

"Hahaha, pseudo-man!"

Bingzhou, Jinyang City.

"......... Although Hu Yi and Wuhuan are not all Xia races, they are born in the same world. Anyone who can know the etiquette, righteousness and wish to follow the Han Dynasty can be the subjects, and they are no different from those in Zhongxia. Therefore, I will tell you to know about it."

After hearing a proclamation for the Husband from Hebei, Liu Kun, a somewhat old governor of Bingzhou who had been tortured by years of war, was not angry.

Liu Yan, who had just finished reading this manifesto, was a little nervous when he saw his uncle Liu Kun just sat upright and said nothing. He finally asked.

"Uncle, uncle?"

When Liu Kun heard Liu Yan's call, he finally sighed and said.

"Poor Zu Shizhi, with a passionate ambition, has just been able to show it, and he is about to give up halfway."

His nephew Liu Yan could only comfort him when he heard this.

"General Zu, who had just defeated the barbarians several times in Jizhou, has been supported by the scholars and people in Jizhou. Even if Liu Yu usurped and became emperor, General Zu broke with him, with General Zu's talent, he might be able to settle in Jizhou."

Although Liu Yan said so, he had no confidence in his heart.

"It's difficult. Zu Ti's hands are all Qingzhou soldiers. Even if he has collected tens of thousands of refugees in Jizhou, if there is no Qingzhou providing food and grass, these tens of thousands of people will not be able to maintain it." Liu Kun said.

Since Zuti sent troops to Jizhou to repel the Hulu and occupied the counties east of Qinghe, he immediately sent a letter to Liu Yu, recounting his offensive against Jizhou and inviting Liu Kun to attack the Hulu in Jizhou together east and west next year.

After receiving Zu Ti's letter, Liu Kun was very happy and even felt that he had seen hope of eliminating the Hulu in Bingzhou.

However, now that Liu Yu has ruled Qing and Xu's three prefectures to proclaim himself emperor, it has made all this a bubble again.

"I'm afraid it won't take long to wait for Liu Yu to quell the civil strife. Hebei Jizhou has no time to take care of the matter." Liu Kun said, looking at his nephew and continued.
