When the envoy of King Sima Rui of Jin arrived, it happened to be after a rain.

After this rain, the weather swept away and the autumn of 313 AD was officially entered.

At this time, Liu Yu and his generals and staff were closely planning new plans.

Now that the Huns and Han Kingdom have just occupied Guanzhong, if they can seize the opportunity, they will integrate the huge number of Di, Qiang, Hu people and Han people and Han refugees in Guanzhong, and add the geographical advantages of Guanzhong.

In this case, they will probably have the upper hand.

Therefore, Liu was preparing to use the newly harvested grain and grass and taxes to complete an attack on Sizhou after the autumn harvest this year.

Their original plan was to divide the troops into three groups, one by Bingzhou to Jinyang to attack Pingyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty of the Xiongnu, and the main forces were Bingzhou soldiers and Tuoba Xianbei; the middle route was Henei County to attack Pingyang, mainly Jizhou soldiers; the south route was to advance west from Xingyang and directly attack Luoyang.

In this way, the Huns and Han countries would definitely have no time to integrate the forces in Guanzhong. At least the food and grass in Pingyang's old nest continued, and they had to be consumed in a large amount of defensive battles. Without the extra food and grass to support and buy the forces in Guanzhong, they would definitely be greatly delayed.

Unfortunately, according to the latest situation, the strategy of three-way progress is impossible to achieve.

After Tuoba Xianbei's new Shanyu Tuoba Pugen quelled the civil strife, he had been eyeing the Yanmen area divided by Wei Xiong and other Han tyrants.

There were a large number of refugees living in the territory in the north of Yanmen County. These people were all reclaimed land and farmed, and their output was enough to support several powerful tribal soldiers. Moreover, there were many craftsmen among these Han refugees.

Originally, half of the weapons in the Tuoba Xianbei people had to be supplied by Yanmen County.

Now that the Tuoba Xianbei has recovered, and the skills and ambitions shown by Tuoba Pugen are no less than those of Tuoba Yilu before, they are naturally resentful of the loss of the wealthy Yanmen County.

There were many excuses for Liu Yu's recruitment.

Judging from the current situation, it is probably time for these Tuoba Xianbei to turn their backs when the autumn weather is clear and the grassland is fat.

Therefore, the originally planned northern route to attack Jinyang in the south was not only hopeless, but also divided troops to defend Yanmen and Daijun.

After obtaining the latest situation in Bingzhou, Liu Yu, Xi Jian, Gongsun Sheng and others had to change their strategies immediately.

"North road cannot be used now, so the strategy of advancing along the river and water may be difficult to implement."

"The attack on Pingyang from Hanoi is more about supporting Jinyang's troops to the south. Now Jinyang is too busy to take care of himself, and Hanoi's troops will have no meaning to attack Pingyang again."

After hearing Xi Jian’s suggestion, Liu Yu nodded helplessly.

The terrain of Henoi in Sizhou is flat. If you want to attack Pingyang, you must cross Taihang and Wangwu Mountain. When you enter alone, you can easily be hit by the Hun Han army, who is waiting for trouble.

"If Hanoi does not attack Pingyang, it would be better to cross the river south and attack Luoyang with the troops from Yanzhou!"

Liu Yu said unwillingly.

Although the abnormal movements of the Tuoba Xianbei this time were the usual style of these grassland barbarians, Liu Yu still couldn't tolerate this kind of betrayal.

However, compared with the Tuoba Xianbei, the Huns and Han countries are a greater threat today.

"The ferry crossings such as Heyin are all in the hands of the Hulu, and they must be heavily guarded. If you want to seize these important places, it may be difficult to seize them with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Hebei alone."

Gongsun Sheng was very familiar with the situation around Luoyang and immediately pointed out the difficulties.

"If you cannot seize the city and fortresses in Heyin and other places, you cannot attack Luoyang on both sides, and then you cannot cut off Pingyang's support for Luoyang, and there will be a protracted confrontation."

Liu Yu could not accept such a result.

Today, Qingzhou and Han Kingdom are not ready for a protracted battle.

Especially with the Huns and Han countries, which had more than 100,000 elite tribal soldiers.

"The Hu barbarians defeated Luoyang twice. I heard that there are not many Han people in Luoyang City now. All of them are the slaughtered Hu in Pingyang. If you want to use the transportation inside, you may not be able to do so."

For Liu Yu, the significance of attacking Luoyang was to consume the strength of the Huns and Han countries so that they could not integrate the strength of Guanzhong as soon as possible.

If Luoyang is captured and defended, there will be almost no people in hundreds of miles around Luoyang, and all military supplies will be supplied by Yanzhou and Jizhou.

Once the Huns use their cavalry advantages to scatter the supply line of Liu Yu, the defenders in Luoyang will fall into a food shortage.

However, this consumption strategy of the Huns and Han countries was caught in such a passive situation due to the abnormal movements of the Tuoba Xianbei.

Liu Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, and sighed.

"In this way, only by relying on the troops and horses along Xingyang, the role of the Huns and Huns are very likely to give up Luoyang and harass our army's retreat."

Such an offensive scale was not enough to consume the strength of the Huns and Han countries.

"Your Majesty, now that the Jiangdong envoy is here, why not put some effort into it?" Gongsun Sheng suddenly said.

"Jiangdong?" Liu Yu was surprised.

"In order to protect himself, Sima Rui from Jiangdong is now coming to communicate with the envoys, among the people in Jiangdong, the northerners who have traveled south, will never forget the recovery of the Northern Expedition. It can be said that he is the enemy of life and death in the future. What can you expect?"

Liu Yu understood that Gongsun Sheng must have meant to let the Jin army in Jingzhou go north to support Liu Yu's military attack.

"Your Majesty, if our army attacks Luoyang, the Huns will definitely know our army's intentions and know that we will not be able to defend for a long time. There is indeed this possibility of abandoning the city to harass it."

"But if the Jin army attacked Luoyang, the Huns would definitely not think so."

"If the Jin army captured Luoyang, the reputation of the Jin army would definitely be in the areas of Sizhou, Yuzhou, and Guanzhong. The Huns and Huns still wanted to pacify Guanzhong. How could they sit down and see such a result?"

When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately became interested.

Liu Yu's Han army and Sima Rui's Jin army both attacked Luoyang, but for the Huns, they had different meanings.

In the eyes of the Huns Han Kingdom, Liu Yu's Qingzhou Han Kingdom was just a group of forces dominated by military and military troops, and the powerful tyrants in the territory were far from surrendering. It can be said that the situation was almost similar to the situation of the Huns Han Kingdom.

The most important thing for two Han countries is to speed up the integration of internal forces and interfere with the integration of the other party as much as possible.

However, if the Jin army occupied Luoyang, it would declare that the recovery of the Jin army had begun.

The Jin army forces in Sizhou, Yongzhou, Qinzhou and Liangzhou must have been greatly boosted.

The Huns and Han countries surrounded in the middle will never sit still and watch this happen.

In that case, hundreds of thousands of Han people, Di, and Qiang tyrants and powerful people would definitely turn to the arms of the Jin army again.

The kindness of Jin's favor for preferential treatment and powerful people has a long history.

"Also, Wang Dun, Wang Yi and others have just driven Gou Xi out of Luoyang, and their military power is in full swing. If they can go north to conquer Luoyang, they will definitely have a greater reputation. They will definitely refuse to give up on such fame and fortune."

"After Gou Xi's defeat, the powerful people in Yingchuan and Yangcheng all contacted Wang Dun and others to send troops to the north, and they must have been planning."

Since the Huns and Han countries tried their best to attack Guanzhong, not only Liu Yu, but also the Jin army in Jingzhou has been robbing.

Compared with the Han Kingdom in Qingzhou, the Jin army had a greater advantage in attacking Luoyang. The powerful refugees in Yingchuan and Yangcheng still respected the Jin army and obeyed their orders.

In this way, it is more convenient for the Jin army to collect troops and food.

"Okay, as long as the power of the Huns and Huns can be reduced, even if Wang Dun takes over Luoyang, it will be fine."

Liu Yu nodded and said.

"Haha, I'm afraid the captains would not agree." Xi Jian said with a light smile.

"So what if I don't agree? If I get my support, Wang Dun and others will probably pounce on Luoyang."

Liu Yu heard that since the rumor that Emperor Jin Sima Ye surrendered to Jiangdong, the Northern People led by Wang Dao and the Wu People Group led by Gu Rong elected Sima Rui as King of Jin. It seemed to be harmonious, but the internal struggles had just begun.

After Sima Rui becomes emperor, who will lead the Jiangdong regime will be a life-and-death struggle.

"Group of troops to attack Luoyang?!"

When the Jiangdong envoy Wang Xia saw Liu Yu, he was immediately shocked by the suggestion that Liu Yu threw out.

"Yes, now the barbarians occupy Luoyang, Chang'an and the two capitals, all of them are indignant and unbearable, so I want to invite Wang Jingzhou to attack Luoyang together."

"If I can recover Luoyang, I will only have the livestock and horses in it, and all the land and wealth will be returned to Wang Jingzhou."

Liu Yu said, thinking to himself, but he didn't know if Wang Dun had the ability to conquer Luoyang.

The best result was that Wang Dun attacked the north with the Jin army from Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Sizhou, and the Huns and Han dynasties with all their strength to resist.

After the two attacked each other, Liu Yu could sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight.

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Wang Xia couldn't help but be embarrassed by the words of the "Emperor of Beihai".

After driving away the Gou Xi's refugee army entrenched in Nanyang, Wang Dun, the governor of Jingzhou of Jin, was indeed proud and began to prepare for the Northern Expedition to Luoyang in full swing.

However, this strategy was not supported by everyone in Jiangdong.

After all, although the scholars in Jiangdong are now strong in reputation, their true military strength is not fully controlled by the scholars in Jiangdong.

On the contrary, the troops of Jiangzhou and Jingzhou are the key to truly controlling the situation.

Among them, most of the soldiers and horses of Jiangzhou who defeated Hua Yi, the governor of Jiangzhou, belonged to Tao Kan and others. Although these people have strong military capabilities, they are all from poor families. With a simple word from the Jiangdong High School, Tao Kan and others can turn them into bare poles.

But for Wang Dun, who had just pacified Jingzhou, the governor of Jingzhou, Yujiang and Jingxiang, the governor of the six prefectures, plus the power of the Wang family in Langya, was enough to make him fight against the entire Jiangdong scholars.

Therefore, after Wang Dun pacified Jingzhou, the scholars and powerful people in Jiangdong desperately stopped Wang Dun's plan to take advantage of the victory in Luoyang.

If Wang Dun successfully restores Luoyang, what should we do if these old Chinese guys from the high sects?

What should I do if Sima Rui, the King of Jin in Jianye?

If Wang Dun recovered Luoyang, how would the future emperor treat him?

How will the northern and southern families in Jiangdong treat Wang Dun?

Could it be that these wealthy families of aristocratic families will bow their heads in front of Wang Dun in the future?

Then why? Is Wang Dun the Wang family of Langya?

What, relying on military merits?
