It was precisely because of the many artifacts that Wang Mi brought that the enemy army suffered repeated defeats. Under the premise that the real combat effectiveness and fighting will collapsed, the Northern Expedition was greatly shortened, which gave Wang Mi

The possibility of choosing a more strenuous offensive route.

Who makes it unnecessary for people to extend the front line so long?

Who allows people to conquer a city every time they conquer it?

It is only said that these captured cities quickly raised the white flag under Wang Mi's bloodless offensive.

Because the progress was so rapid, the cities newly occupied by the Jin army did not suffer too much damage.

As a result, many of the Jin army's baggage and equipment could be quickly replenished, of course with the help of the people in the occupied cities.

…………

"So, how are you? Do you feel better?"

Tan Pingzhi never expected that Wang Mi would come to see him in person so late at night. He struggled to get up, but Wang Mi quickly pressed his hand to stop him.

"Have a rest and don't move around."

He's still injured, so why bother?

Although it was true that no vital parts were injured, and it was indeed a skin injury, Wang Mi had already checked this before when Lao Tan was just carried off the battlefield.

However, it was also a big wound that bled a lot of blood. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break a muscle. Lao Tan's injury, even in modern times, would not allow him to get out of bed for ten days and a half, let alone here.

At the end of the Jin Dynasty, medicine was ineffective.

"Zhiyuan, I heard that you asked Wuji and Zeng Jing to return to Jiankang for reinforcements?"

Hey hey.

There are ventilation walls everywhere, and news in the military camp spreads so quickly.

"Yes, the Queen Mother has received news that Sima Shangzhi's brother is ready to make a move. Our army is in a very dangerous situation, and Jiankang City is also in a period of uncertainty and chaos. So, although I am also reluctant to part with it, I have no choice but to let Wu

Don’t go back first.”

Tan Pingzhi hammered his thigh desperately in annoyance: "If I hadn't failed to live up to expectations and been plotted by that Zhai Zhao, how could you be in such a difficult situation?"

"It's enough for me to go, that's enough!"

"Hey, based on this, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Injuries on the battlefield are inevitable, and I'm already very happy for you because it didn't hurt any vital parts. As for the situation in Jiankang City, I conclude that Sima Shangzhi will be injured in a short period of time.

Don’t dare to send troops rashly yet.”

"Even if they send troops one step ahead, don't you still believe in Wuji? With Wuji here, it's enough to deal with them."

This time, He Wuji and the others rushed back to Jiankang with little effort. Whether they were traditional weapons or advanced firearms, they only brought enough for their personal use.

Why not bring more?

Do you look down on Brother Sima?

Congratulations, you really got the answer right.

Now that the Sima family has reached this age, the remaining members of the Sima family already have mediocre martial arts, otherwise they would not be frequently defeated by other powerful forces in turn.

Furthermore, so far, the people of the Sima family have never seen the true power of firearms. Such an army cannot compete with the Beifu soldiers who are armed to the teeth.

What's more, both He Wuji and Zeng Jing are not ordinary people. They are both skilled in tactics and strategies.

It has gone through layers of training in actual combat. To be honest, it is probably enough to take the initiative when competing against the children of the Sima family.

What's more, there is another advantageous condition that Wang Mi has set up here, which is Puchao and Jiangshoufang!

Although Wang Miren left, the work in Jiang's workshop never stopped day and night. It could even be said to be in full swing and even more lively.

This is inevitable.

When Wang Mi and others set out for the Northern Expedition from Jiankang, they counted the workshops. At that time, there were still thousands of stones of saltpeter and sulfur left in the workshop.

Since there are so many raw materials left and there is still a war to be fought, why not continue production?

Of course we have to continue manufacturing.

Therefore, in the general workshop, there are still many firearms that have been made but have not been shipped to the north.

As long as Wuji and the others can enter the city, they can quickly master this batch of weapons, which will be enough for them to compete with Sima Shangzhi.

Isn’t this the best of both worlds?

Of course, these are all methods of entitlement that were chosen in a hurry. If they were not in a hurry, and if they had the energy to spare, it would be best if He Wuji and the others could bring some firearms back.

However, it is a pity that if they carry many firearms and march in a hurry, no matter how anxious they are, it will still take at least a month based on the distance from them to Jiankang!

Calculate how much time has passed now!

You must know that even if Wang Zhenying's letter is delivered by fast horse at the inn, it will take at least about twenty days to catch up with the speed of the army and arrive outside Yongzhou City.

This is due to inconvenient transportation and the lack of modern transportation. This is already the limit in terms of speed. What can you do?

In other words, for Wang Mi, it was indeed new news received, but in fact, for Jiankang City, this news was not new at all.

It’s been happening for almost a month!

In this month, Wang Mi's eyes darkened, and he didn't know what happened in Jiankang City.

What can I do if I don’t seek speed?

At this point, Wang Mi still felt that it was too slow. If this were the case in modern times, everything would be clear with just one phone call.

Do you still need to feel uneasy and uneasy here?

yes!

Why do I feel heavy-hearted?

Everything has obviously been arranged, and it is the best solution he can think of under the current situation.

However, Wang Mi could not find any sense of relaxation at all.

why is that?

Faintly, he actually felt a sense of worry...

Where does this worry come from?

Looking further ahead, we see Jingkou and the northern gate of Jiankang, the capital of Jin Dynasty.

In the Beifu military camp, Liu Laozhi was alone, pouring and drinking by himself. There was an extremely bright moonlight outside the tent. Liu Laozhi enjoyed the wine and food alone, which was quite unique.

But now, Liu Laozhi was not in such a relaxed mood. The rich wine rolled in his throat, and there was even a hint of heat.

I choked so much!

Liu Laozhi coughed violently a few times. However, he had always had a good drinking capacity, but it was just a few sips of wine. Why was it like this?

Of course, I was still disturbed by my mood.

What should he do?

Liu Laozhi, who had been unemployed in Jingkou for a long time, suddenly faced a very difficult choice.

It’s difficult!

You said there is a bad time to send a letter, but if you insist on sending it at this time, isn't this leading people to make mistakes?

However, this is a normal thing.

If none of the new generals in Beifu were here, how could that person send a personal letter to Liu Laozhi?

cooperate?

Of course that's not possible.

What future can there be in cooperating with those people?

Now Liu Laozhi can still be regarded as an old-timer in Beifu. When Wang Mi's Northern Expedition succeeds in the future, although he will not be able to make new achievements on the battlefield, he will at least be considered meritorious in holding the base camp of Jingkou.

Although Beifu no longer belongs to Liu Laozhi and he now only has a false name, Liu Laozhi is also betting on the future.

What if...

Although the chief of Beifu must belong to Liu Yu, not only Liu Yu himself, but also Liu Laozhi firmly believed in this. Who else could take this position than Liu Yu?

Now Liu Laozhi's ambition has weakened and he no longer intends to compete with Liu Yu.

However, Liu Laozhi can still have a place in other positions, and since Wang Mi became King of Langya, this trend has become more and more obvious.

Isn’t this what it means to replace it?

Be your own emperor!

If Wang Mi himself becomes the emperor, the situation in the court will suddenly be different, and he can be assigned more positions.

For example, for a general like Liu Laozhi, who has very senior qualifications and is an old colleague, it is very easy for him to get a decent position.

After all, the positions at Wang Mi's disposal now are not limited to Beifu.

Although there were some discords in the past, times have long since changed and Wang Mi still respects Liu Laozhi.

Whether he did it out of his true intention or just for show, it made no difference to Liu Laozhi.
To be continued...
