Chapter 412 I'm Panic Too
Hearing this...
Liu Bang couldn't help laughing, "So, the reason why Huan Wen left was because he was afraid of the power of your Wang and Xie families."
"In addition, if you force the emperor to give you the Zen position in a hurry, it will easily arouse the resentment of the people in the world, so after comprehensive consideration, I left."
Xie An nodded, affirming Liu Bang's guess.
Because that's exactly what it is.
"At that time, His Majesty was young, and there were powerful ministers watching over him. I could only assist the royal family wholeheartedly and protect the royal family with all my strength."
"Shortly after, Huan Wen became seriously ill, suggesting that the imperial court add nine tins to him and draft a memorial."
"I knew that this matter would not allow him to fulfill his wish and give him any chance to usurp the throne, so I deliberately delayed the time for the performance until Huan Wen's death."
Xie An took a breath, "After Huan Wen's death, his subordinates will not be such a big threat anymore."
"Because of this incident, the imperial court promoted me to be Minister of Public Affairs, and I will be in charge of the affairs of the staff department. I will be added as a general, and together with Shang Shuling Wang Biaozhi, I will be in charge of the government!"
"Without Huan Wen, a strong minister, the situation is still not optimistic. There is still Fu Jian who is a strong enemy of Qin outside. I know that the road to help the country has just begun."
"I started to adjust the layout of the place and replaced Huan Chong with Wang Yun as governor of Xuzhou."
"Use Huanchong to supervise the military forces of Xu, Yu, Yan, Qing, and Yang, and also serve as the governor of Xuzhou to guard Jingkou and reduce Huanwen's influence."
"I tried my best to reconcile the conflicts between the ministers, and coordinate the conflicts between the central and local governments, which eased the situation a lot."
Sima Yao also nodded in praise, "It is indeed thanks to Xie An's assistance that I can revitalize the imperial power. He is indeed the hero of our Great Jin Dynasty!"
of course!
some things he didn't say...
He really thanked Xie An for assisting him wholeheartedly, helping him stabilize the situation, allowing him to successfully regain the imperial power and restore the majesty of the royal family.
But again!
There is no need for a powerful minister like Xie An to continue to exist after his king has become powerful and centralized.
If he blocks his steps to centralize power, then I'm sorry, he can only be killed.
Emperors can share suffering, but they cannot share wealth!
Xie An acted as if he didn't know what Sima Yao was thinking, and continued: "Fu Jian, the ruler of the Qin State in the north at that time, was determined to forge ahead, and his national power continued to grow. In the wars between the Jin Dynasty and them, we lost again and again."
"I am determined to choose capable ministers to guard the line of defense north of the Yangtze River and resist the Qin army."
"Therefore, I ignored others' accusations that I was nepotism, and recommended my nephew Xie Xuan as Yanzhou Inspector, guarding Guangling, and responsible for the defense line north of the Yangtze River, while I personally supervised the military of Yang, Yu, Xu, Yan, and Qingzhou. "
"Xie Xuan also lived up to my high expectations. He selected elite soldiers and strong generals in Guangling, built a powerful Beifu army, and promoted Liu Laozhi, He Qian and other capable generals!"
"Shortly afterwards, Fu Pi, the general of the Qin State Conquering the South, led 7 infantry and cavalry to attack Xiangyang. Fu Jian also ordered an army of [-] to besiege Xiangyang in three ways. A year later, Xiangyang was broken, and the Qin army continued to attack Pengcheng. "
"After I got the news, I immediately set up defenses in Jiankang, the capital, and ordered Xie Xuan to lead [-] Beifu soldiers to fight the enemy from Guangling!"
"At that time, people in the capital were panicked, and they were afraid that the Qin army would invade Jiankang and cause the country to perish. I was sure that Xie Xuan would defeat the lonely and exhausted Qin army."
"Sure enough, in just a few months, Xie Xuan and the Qin army won four battles and defeated the Qin army."
Although Xie An was calm when he spoke.
But the emperors can imagine how such a victory is worth celebrating for the Jin Dynasty.
Perhaps this is the same feeling as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he learned that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing defeated the Huns.
The imperial power has fallen, and the battles have been lost year after year. A big victory is too much needed to boost morale.
"I remember that when this news came back to Jiankang, the whole Jiankang was a sea of carnival, deeply cheering for Xie Xuan's victory!"
"That was really a rare victory. He showed the army of the Jin Dynasty that they could also defeat the Qin State in the north, and also made the people no longer fear the army of the Qin State so much."
"The significance of this victory is really too great."
Sima Yao's face was filled with emotion, and he had to admit that Xie An had indeed given him many benefits.
but there is no way...
Emperors are sometimes so mean and ungrateful.
It is your duty to serve the court.
If you are useless, you must leave, and you cannot block the emperor's way forward.
otherwise…
It will be the most ruthless blow of the emperor.
In the light curtain...
Xie quietly waited for Sima Yao to finish speaking, and then continued: "After this victory, I got a promotion."
"But I also know that this victory will not close the gap in military strength between us and the Qin State. The talented and generous Emperor Fu Jian of the Great Qin Dynasty will definitely make a comeback again. Therefore, during this period, I must improve the combat effectiveness of the Jin army as soon as possible."
"Fortunately, Your Majesty is a pioneering and promising monarch. With the cooperation of our monarch and ministers, the combat effectiveness of the Jin army has been improved."
"Three years after the Battle of Huainan, the Great Qin Emperor Fu Jian personally led an army of millions to the south, intending to annex our Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop."
"When the news spread to the imperial court, everyone was frightened and panicked. No one thought they could stop Fu Jian's army."
Hearing Xie An's words so calmly, Liu Bang became a little curious.
What kind of countermeasures will Xie An make?
That's an army of millions. Even if it is called an army of millions, it is actually only a few hundred thousand, which is very terrifying.
Compared with the previous confrontation of armies of 10,000+.
The battle scene this time was undoubtedly escalated several times at once.
"But I know..."
Xie An took a breath again, "If you don't resist, it's really over. But if you resist, there may still be a glimmer of life. Based on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, there may not be no chance to stop it."
"At that time, people in the court were panic-stricken, and the princes and nobles had already begun to prepare for the affairs behind them. They had no fighting strength at all, so I had to choose generals whom I could trust, such as Xie Shi, Xie Xuan, Xie Yan, and Huan Yi, to lead the way. [-] Beifu soldiers went to resist."
"But they are also quite uncertain about this war. I told them that everything has been arranged, so go fight with peace of mind!"
Speaking of this, Xie An suddenly gave a wry smile: "But in fact, I didn't know what to do at the time."
"But I can only choose to trust the Beifu soldiers and pretend to be calm, otherwise, the Jin army is really doomed. I must show enough confidence to let the people and officials see that they still have a glimmer of hope. "
"I rejected Huan Chong's request to defend the capital at this time, and anxiously waited for news from the front line."
Hearing his words, Liu Bang couldn't help laughing: "Hearing you speak so calmly, I thought you were really not afraid of anything?"
