Wang Mi gave up his seat to He Wuji and said with a wry smile: "Brother Wuji is right, this is exactly what I am worried about."

"Previously, we were able to pass through Xuzhou without any danger. That was because we had the cover of the Di Qin Army and were able to pass in the name of rescue. But this time, things are not that simple."

Not only is it not that simple, it is even dangerous.

Since setting off from Yecheng, Wang Mi and others have captured several Di and Qin soldiers among the prisoners who were trying to deliver messages to the towns ahead.

These people still thought that they could break through the Jin army's many barriers and send messages to their comrades at the front, so that they could continue to resist!

Their thoughts are not wishful thinking. After all, they know very well that the current combat effectiveness of the Jin army will never be the same as when the Battle of Yecheng began.

It has already dropped significantly. Not to mention the powerful Di Qin army, even cowardly soldiers like Jingzhou soldiers can knock down the current Beifu soldiers.

Fortunately, Wang Mi was prepared and captured these spies one after another, thus controlling the danger before it happened.

However, these are only preventive measures after all, and the roads are still the same, and some nodes cannot be avoided.

Before that, Wang Mi and the others had already passed two cities, and they were very lucky. When they heard that important towns like Yecheng had been lost in these coastal cities, they immediately put up white flags on the cities and surrendered directly.

This saved the Jin army trouble, but Wang Mi didn't dare to hope that such luck would continue every time it happened.

There can be a next time, because if you attribute everything to luck and rely on luck, luck will eventually run out one day.

The defenders of those towns were able to give up because those cities were originally relatively small and lacked strategic depth. Once a fight broke out, it would be difficult to maintain.

Furthermore, those towns were relatively close to Yecheng. Although they had never gone to Yecheng to help in the battle, they still had a relatively good understanding of the situation in the Yecheng war.

They all had a deep understanding of the Jin army's bravery and were very afraid. Therefore, before the Jin army started fighting, they themselves were afraid.

Simply gave up resistance.

But Xuzhou is different. Just from Fu Fei's performance when they passed Xuzhou, it can be seen that Fu Fei is not a person who gives up easily.

And Xuzhou is such an important battleground for military strategists, and no one with brains will give up easily.

Even if you are not fighting for Di Qin, even if you are fighting for yourself, as long as you can hold Xuzhou in your hands and look around, you can become a hero for a while.

Fu Fei, he should have such thoughts.

"Yes, you are right. Next, we will face the real difficulties."

"Zhiyuan, what can you do?"

"When Fu Fei let us go to Yecheng, he was full of reluctance. When the army set off, he secretly sent people to follow it secretly, just because he was afraid that we would cause trouble. Such people are cunning and capable. The current state of our army is...

You can’t necessarily compete with that.”

He Wuji's worries were Wang Mi's own.

Wang Mi was very dissatisfied with Fu Fei's previous performance. He was a general who had his own opinions and was very conceited.

It is absolutely impossible for such a person to surrender easily.

So, this is where everyone is worried. The method they have relied on before will no longer work!

What to do?

Hit hard?

Of course it won't work, because it's impossible to defeat it now.

What else can be done?

Wang Mi sighed, feeling in a dilemma.

If they could bypass Xuzhou and go through other places, it might be possible, but it was obvious that they had not been able to find a better way for half the journey.

Now we have reached the outskirts of Xuzhou City.

There is no way back!

"That's why I sighed, it would be great if we could attack Fu Fei alone. The problem is, we are not familiar with the situation in Xuzhou City at all, how can we succeed?"

"How about asking some Di Qin soldiers to inquire? Maybe we can just ask Fu Zuan directly!"

"He is also a general, so he should be more familiar with it, at least better than us."

"Fu Zuan?"

Wang Mi smiled bitterly and said: "He can't do it. He was originally stationed in Jinyang. If you want to know the situation in Jinyang, it's not much better to go to him. He's not familiar with Xuzhou either."

"Besides, as far as I know, people like Fu Zuan, Fu Pi and others have recently come to guard the corresponding cities in the past year. They have little contact with each other and are not familiar with the cities they guard.

, let alone other people’s territory.”

"Fu Zuan can't help."

He Wuji was in pain again, who else could he turn to?

According to what Wang Mi said, those Di Qin soldiers should not be easily believed. After all, although they surrendered, many people still believed that the defeat in the Battle of Yecheng was not because the Di Qin brothers were not brave in fighting.

The reason why the defeat was so tragic and so sudden was all because of the traitor Li Dalian. If he hadn't surrendered Nancheng to the Jin army, how would there have been today's defeat?

At least they won’t lose so quickly!

Therefore, among these prisoners, there were still many Di people who had illusions about restoring Yecheng, or in other words, about causing trouble for the Jin army.

If we ask them for help and they spread the word about the difficulties of the Jin army, they may cause trouble again.

Wang Mi didn't dare to take risks.

But, Li Dalian?

This name suddenly appeared in front of Wang Mi's eyes.

This person doesn't seem to need to worry. Is there any good solution?

"Wuji, go and call Li Dalian. I have something important to ask him."

He Wuji was also touched when he heard this name. Li Dalian, isn't this the big traitor?

correct!

He was also considered the most prominent figure in Ye City. It was he who initiated the surrender at that time so that the Jin army could have a chance to capture Ye City.

It can be said that if it were not for Li Dalian, it is still unclear who is in the hands of Yecheng now!

right!

This is the person you should find!

Why didn't you think of it earlier?

He Wuji couldn't help but be secretly angry. In this round, Wang Mi won again. Although he seemed to be doing nothing, in fact, his mind did not stop working for a moment.

He said he had no idea and wanted to hear the opinions of his brothers.

In fact, after using my brain a little bit, I quickly came up with a solution.

Within a moment, Li Dalian arrived at the military tent, still looking respectful and smooth.

Seeing that he was still the same, Wang Mi was relieved.

This kind of person may not be reliable when fighting, but when providing information, he is often very useful.

Who would say no to someone like Li Dalian?

He is kind to everyone, polite, popular, and well-rounded. The more friendly he seems, the more informed he is.

Maybe, from his mouth, we can really get some news from Xuzhou.

"Show tea to Captain Li."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for the tea."

Tea is a drink that many people drank in the south in the late Jin Dynasty, but few people drank it in the north.

It is a rare drink, although northerners often don't like the taste of tea, because the tea at this time is still completely boiled, and the tea leaves have not been cooked in any way, so it is very primitive.

The method of preparing tea is also relatively simple. It is just boiling water and there are no other unnecessary steps.

The brewed tea is indeed somewhat similar to medicinal soup. The most primitive tea soup is also said to be derived from medicinal soup.

At that time, many people drank tea just to pursue some refreshing medicinal effects.

However, northerners are also pursuing tea drinking.

This is the advantage of some Jiangzuo scholars in public opinion.

Everyone knows that when the Jin Dynasty was in chaos, many elegant people from Chang'an and Luoyang migrated south to Jiankang City.

And wherever they are, this small group of people represents where the most elegant and high-end ornamental objects are.

Just like this tea.

Due to the limited production techniques at the beginning, its taste is, to be honest, much worse than dairy products such as buttermilk that are popular in the north.

However, because these Jiangzuo scholars all like to drink tea and regard it as a high quality, it is natural that there is a whirlwind on both sides of the river that drinking tea is good, drinking tea is elegant, and drinking tea is a person with taste.

.

Therefore, even though it is very difficult to obtain fresh tea in the north, buttermilk obviously has a richer taste and higher nutritional value.

But people are still crazy about drinking tea.
