In fact, according to the real marching distance, they should have arrived long ago. The slight delay was because they followed the persuasion of General Liu Laozhi.

Over here, Liu Laozhi heard that Wang Mi had written to the court stating that the Beifu army would return to Jiankang immediately. Over there, Liu Laozhi was not happy.

What are you doing so fast?

Rushing up and down like crazy?

What benefits did the imperial court give us?

So far, nothing! Neither the Beifu army nor the generals have received any rewards.

Obviously, the imperial court was trying to show off Beifu's face. They were not so happy about Beifu's consecutive victories.

If this is the case, why did Beifu still sell it to the court to save face?

It is already difficult for everyone to maintain basic decency. Are you still thinking about other things? Everyone on each side should have a basic judgment on the current situation without any deviation.

It's okay to go back, but it's not okay to go back too soon.

You must control the speed, go slowly, as slowly as possible, and let those in the court wait!

Although Wang Mi felt that doing so was too childish and looked unattractive, he had to say that Liu Laozhi's suggestion was reasonable.

You are unkind and I am unjust. It is your court who acted first, so what if I delay?

Delaying it for one day also prevented the court from underestimating him. This was indeed a solution.

According to the previously discussed lineup, Wang Mi, the He brothers, Liu Yu and others rushed from Jingkou to the gate of Jiankang City.

"The formation is quite big!"

"Zhiyuan, how are you?"

"What do you think?" Liu Yu stepped forward and asked loudly.

Wang Mi, who had always had a relaxed expression, became unusually serious at this moment.

"I don't know, it's hard to say."

"how?"

"Aren't you scared?" Liu Yu joked, because he rarely saw Wang Mi like this, and he couldn't help but become playful.

Wang Mi shook his head lightly: "That's not possible. What do those people in the court have to be afraid of?"

"We walked through hail of bullets, rolled on the tip of knives, and climbed mountains of corpses and seas of blood. What do we have to fear?"

"Now, it should not be us who are afraid, but rather the high officials in the court."

"Look at how powerful and fierce they are when they bring out so many people. In fact, they are just trying to embolden themselves."

"I think they are afraid that my army will enter the city and kill them all!"

Liu Yu laughed and said: "That's right!"

"rational!"

"Then what do we do?"

In front of their eyes, in front of the gate of Jiankang City, they could already vaguely see a team of ministers and soldiers.

It also looks very large.

Of course, in front of the Beifu soldiers with real swords and guns, these people, no matter how many there are, are just decorations.

Nothing threatening.

"Why should we want to do anything?"

"We'll just wait and see how things get better."

"They will strike first!"

In Liu Yu's memory, Wang Mi was a person who took the initiative in everything and thought of countermeasures in advance. But this time, he had to wait for the losers in the court to take action first, which made people feel a little strange.

However, even if Liu Yu was slightly dissatisfied, he still didn't have time to analyze it carefully, because before Wang Mi finished speaking, three riders had already emerged from the team on the other side of the city gate.

Three people, three horses, really just three people.

They didn't run very fast, obviously not for provocation.

Wang Mi looked at the newcomers proudly and said to several brothers: "Look, I know that they will attack first before we can take action."

"Wuji, reorganize the team, we are ready to enter the city!"

"Yes!" He Wuji turned around and left without stopping at all. Getting such a job was exactly what he was pursuing.

No matter what, the army must enter the city today. As for the subsequent countermeasures, that will only happen after entering the city.

"Zhiyuan!"

"Welcome back!"

Huh?

Why is it him?

When the visitor got closer and closer, Wang Mi finally saw his identity clearly. Only then did Wang Mi finally confirm that Wang Gong was not a fool.

He's pretty good at choosing people.

And the envoy who came to greet the Beifu army was none other than Wang Mi's family.

Wang Xun is an old acquaintance.

"Dharma Protector, why are you here?"

"Where's Aning?"

Wang Xun and Wang Mi have no feeling of disgust towards Wang Xun. It should be said that Wang Gong also knows that Wang Mi is still a decent person and it is impossible for him not to give face to his own family.

However, Wang Mi's goal is also very clear.

Come to greet me, but you, Wang Xun, may not be qualified. What I want to see is Wang Gong. How can I do it if he doesn't show up?

Isn't this not giving me face to the officers and soldiers of Beifu?

Wang Xun looked kind-hearted and took this job, which was definitely not his intention. This was Wang Gong's trick.

If it weren't for his persistent persuasion, Wang Xun, who had always lived a quiet life, would not have done such a thing.

Therefore, Wang Xun could accept all Wang Mi's dissatisfaction.

"Of course Aning is here, but he asked me to come and meet you first and bring the army into the city. He lined up at the city gate just to welcome you."

oh!

I see.

He pulled Wang Xun out to carry the thunder, while he hid in the city and refused to come out.

This is really Wang Gong's consistent style of doing things. He looks tough, but in fact he is a tough guy.

Very timid!

He didn't even dare to go out of the city to confront Wang Mi.

Even if he comes out, what can Wang Mi do to him?

He was a royal uncle, and even if Wang Mi hated him to the core, he would never kill him in front of so many people!

"If that's the case, then I would like to trouble the Dharma Protector to send a message to me, so that the welcoming ceremony can be omitted. When the army enters the city, I want to hold a ceremony to present prisoners, but it will take at least two more days before it can be carried out. All the

Can the ceremony wait until then?"

"There is no need to waste any more time now. All the ministers have also worked very hard. The weather is getting colder and the wind is getting strong. It's better to go back quickly!"

Wang Xun disagreed and immediately retorted: "Zhiyuan, everything is ready, why do you want to cancel? Do you have any objections to our arrangements?"

"Or do you want Aning to come out of the city to greet you?"

Wang Mi quickly denied: "No, no!"

"I have absolutely no intention of doing so. I just want to meet with Aning first and have a good talk about some issues. As for whether we need to hold a welcome ceremony, it's not that important."

This is indeed not a problem for Wang Mi and the Beifu army. What the generals need is actual benefits.

And what about the soldiers?

Of course they need glory and something glorious and grand to make themselves look decent, but the welcome ceremony is just one of many ways.

Wasn't the prisoner dedication ceremony already arranged afterwards?

That ceremony is enough to prove how brave and invincible the Beifu soldiers are!

Today's Beifu can be said to be monolithic.

From top to bottom, the soldiers all obeyed Wang Mi's leadership. This obedience was absolute and there was almost no doubt.

Even if they have doubts, they will still think that Shilang Wang must have other ideas and that Shilang Wang must have ulterior motives.

They just need to obey and follow.

Under the leadership of Wang Shilang, there will never be a time when the Beifu soldiers suffer!
