"Brother Yewang, General Xie has ordered that there is no movement in the city. Once the military tents are dismantled, you can enter the city."
He said he was here to report a message, but in fact he was just here to make excuses.
Huan Yi smiled, and Wang Mi even felt that there was something bleak in his smile.
How is this going?
Huan Yi has always been a pure and calm person. In the past, when Sima Yao hated his origin and despised him as a member of the Huan family, he still maintained an attitude of neither being humble nor overbearing. He overcame Sima Yao's doubts and showed it with his actual actions.
, his Huan Yi is different from other Huan family members.
Huan Yi had already endured such great pressure, so why did he act so lonely by the quiet water?
In line with his special care for the handsome guy, Wang Mi immediately stepped forward, opened his posture, and prepared to answer.
Huan Yi was also surprised by Wang Mi's appearance.
Speaking of strangeness, Wang Mi should be said to be the strangest person in the army now.
Xie Xuan had already reported to the court the matter of Wang Mi accompanying the army. He originally thought that if a close minister of the emperor suddenly twitched his head and ran into the army, it would definitely cause an uproar in the court.
Unexpectedly, Sima Yao didn't act according to common sense.
Not only did he fail to fulfill Xie Xuan's wish and call Wang Mi back to Jiankang, but he also greatly appreciated Wang Mi's behavior and encouraged him to continue to stay in Beifu.
Huan Yi couldn't understand the twists and turns in the court, and he didn't want to understand. However, he had an intuition that Wang Mi in front of him was obviously more proficient in intrigues than he was.
"It's better to enter the city early so that the soldiers can take a rest. It seems that Murong Chui and the others are entrenched in Xiangyang City. For a while, they should not come out to harass other cities again." Huan Yi sighed.
Speaking of Murong Chui, Wang Mi also had something to say.
He was very interested in knowing what image this Xianbei general, who was famous and feared in the history of the Sixteen Kingdoms, looked like in the eyes of people at that time.
From Huan Chong's eagerness to run away when he saw him, it can be imagined that Murong Chui must be the kind of big man who bravely champions the three armies.
Wang Mi couldn't help but sigh: "Murong Chui is indeed a brave man. With him here, it will not be easy to take back Xiangyang City."
Huan Yi's eyes darkened. He was so good, why did he mention Murong Chui?
A dark cloud passed overhead, and Huan Yi's mood immediately darkened.
"Murong Chui has always been brave and good at fighting, and he also has a lot of brains. I think he was a very important figure in the Yan State back then. It was all because the leader of Yan was dim and the Qin Dynasty had a prime minister and auxiliary king who took charge fiercely, which led to the collapse of the Yan State."
"Actually, I think that now that Wang Meng is dead, there are no more generals in the north and south who can compete with Murong Chui."
Murong is so powerful!
The situation is so serious!
Huan Yi's high opinion of Murong Chui made Wang Mi even more nervous. It seemed that it would be impossible to deal with this man without fighting to the death.
Why fight to the death?
Wouldn’t it be nice to just let everything develop according to the course of history?
The victory of the Jin army in the Battle of Feishui in history was very likely to happen by chance. The nature of leakage was serious. As the saying goes, time is also destiny. The former Qin Empire, which was originally powerful and unified, once failed at Feishui, fell apart quickly.
It was so fast that even the Jin Dynasty, which was too lazy to respond, didn't react.
It was not until the Ding Ling, Zhai and Murong clans rebelled against the Qin Dynasty one after another, and the north was in chaos, that the Jin Dynasty remembered its land loss.
Isn’t this a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation?
Taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, the Eastern Jin Dynasty successively recaptured many important military towns such as Xiangyang, Xincheng, Xinye, and Wei Xing.
These cities originally belonged to the sphere of influence of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Some of them broke away from the rule of the Jin Dynasty for a short period of time, such as Xiangyang.
And some of them were taken away by Di Qin for more than ten years.
It can also be seen from the sequence of these events that, strictly speaking, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was able to regain many cities because it was following several tribes who rebelled against the former Qin Dynasty. The Di Qin defenders who were able to defeat several cities in the first place were not from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
True strength.
The real situation is that after Fu Jian returned to Chang'an, Di Qin was already in a state of disintegration. The tribal leaders whose lives were spared by Fu Jian raised their troops one after another. But what about the power of the Fu family that Di Qin relied on?
?
Sorry, I'm not in Chang'an. Just a year ago, Fu Jian sent many Fu family nobles, including his eldest son Fu Pi, on the pretext of training the children of the Fu family, enfeoffing important counties, and guarding important military towns for Di Qin.
Arrived in distant counties.
Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Fu Jian's approach. It is much safer to hand over a major military town to his own family than to hand it over to a general with a different surname.
This also has historical reasons. During the Sixteen Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties, wars continued between the north and the south, and there were so many generals who surrendered to the enemy.
Many county guards immediately lowered their flags as soon as the enemy came over. If they could stay in the original city and fight for a while, they were considered warriors.
What's more, as soon as the enemy troops arrive, there are many people who run away with their tail between their legs.
Fu Jian made some calculations and realized that it would not be worthwhile if the country that I had worked so hard to conquer was handed over to these rats and then handed over by them.
Although the Fu family nobles may not necessarily agree with Fu Jian, at least they will not ruin the foundation of their ancestors.
Although such an idea is beautiful, the situation of Di Qin's court simply did not allow Fu Jian to do such an absurd behavior.
Fu Rong, Fu Jian's younger brother, saw this much more clearly than he did. Moreover, Fu Rong still remembered Wang Meng's warning before his death.
Di Qin's current situation is: the thieves are inside and the generals are outside.
At Fu Jian's side were Murong Chong, who was his close friend in Longyang, Murong Chui, a famous general who had been dormant for a long time, and Yao Zhongyi, the leader of the Qiang tribe who was indeed loyal to him but could not discipline his son.
Fu Jian was surrounded by leaders of various ethnic groups who had been conquered and destroyed by him. As he was praising him day after day, he actually mistakenly thought that all these people had been submissive under his rule and would no longer be able to obey him.
Feeling rebellious.
Facing a group of foreign leaders who were gnashing their teeth and sharpening their swords, Fu Jian sent all his close nobles to other places, which was simply an act of letting them celebrate.
Even if there was no Battle of Feishui and the Qin army suffered a disastrous defeat, it is conceivable that these foreign leaders would eventually seize the opportunity to rebel.
Among the many leaders who were eager to carve up Fu Jian's territory, Murong Chui was obviously the most powerful one.
Unlike the insidious Yao Chang, Murong Chui always relied on bravery and wise judgment in battle, which earned him more respect at that time and place.
Thinking of all the past events, Huan Yi's face became even darker.
"For example, uncle Huan Chong was one of Murong Chui's defeated generals. For many years, whenever he heard news about Murong Chui, he turned his flag in reverse and did not dare to fight."
Wang Mi smiled awkwardly, you brought this up on your own initiative and it has nothing to do with me.
"General Huan, there is no need to be so depressed. Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. As long as we can win the battle of Xiangyang successfully, we don't have to worry about the past."
