But the facts proved that there was nothing wrong with Wang Mi's mind, and he was not prepared to give up Xuzhou City to Fu Fei.
To be honest, if everything operates according to the existing form, it may be relatively trouble-free and labor-saving for him.
Where is Fu Fei?
He is a smart man. He will not challenge the Jin army rashly when his own strength is insufficient. In that case, he will only give up the city that he finally controlled.
Of course, he is honest, but that is just a temporary measure, and it does not mean how loyal he is to Da Jin. This is a must.
You see, even if the court changes its name in the future, there won't be much difference to Fu Fei.
He is still a Di, and is very different from the main body of the court that Wang Mi is about to establish. He will also know that in this land, he belongs to the minority and cannot be completely trusted.
Even if Wang Mi shows enough kindness to him and treats him well, he himself will not feel at ease. In this way, conflicts are very likely to occur.
"Then you mean to take advantage of this Northern Expedition to capture Xuzhou?"
This is not impossible, this is Liu Yu's calculation. If the city closest to Jingkou is not yet under the control of the Jin army, it is Xuzhou.
Taking it is much easier than taking Tianshui. If we are strong enough, we might as well go to Xuzhou first to practice our skills.
It will also be of great benefit to us in the future when we expand into Murong's territory.
However, this is just an immature idea of Liu Yu's. Obviously, Xuzhou is really not that easy to conquer.
After all, the defense level here is still very high. Although the Jin army's current weapons and equipment are invincible, it is still difficult to conquer such an important town.
If you don't believe it, you can refer to the battles in the early Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming army had obvious advantages in weapons and equipment, it was not invincible. It would take a lot of effort to capture a city.
Therefore, if the scene changes to today, it is the same. Facing an important town like Xuzhou, careless planning will not work.
"Don't be anxious. Once the Northern Expedition is successful, you can take care of him again. It's no problem. For now, you still need to be stable."
"He originally didn't want to move, but if we scare him into moving because we want to annex him, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
"There is no need at all. Our focus now is to capture all Yao Qiang's territories."
"As for Xuzhou and Murong's department, we can let him go. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, we won't be enemies with him."
"Of course, this place will eventually be taken back. I don't feel comfortable leaving a general like him here, right in front of Jiankang City."
"Then just wait a little longer. This old boy will be better off!" Liu Yu said through gritted teeth.
He waved his fist in the air. In Liu Yu's opinion, Fu Fei should be eliminated quickly. Why should Xuzhou, such an important place, be placed in his hands?
I can't bear it for one more day.
If it were him, he would have marched northward before the Northern Expedition and be the first to deal with him!
Unfortunately, Wang Mi did not allow it.
Then we can only give up.
Although Liu Yu still felt that it would be a waste not to seize such a good opportunity, Wang Mi's decision was not unreasonable.
Fu Fei is such a dangerous person. He is still wary of the strength of the Beifu soldiers and just wants to protect his own territory.
They will not take the initiative to cause trouble, and if the Jin army takes the initiative to attack, no matter whether they win or lose, it is certain that the strength of Beifu will be greatly weakened.
Taking Xuzhou will definitely be a big war. Once the war breaks out and the losses are too great, how can they continue the Northern Expedition?
Didn’t this massive Northern Expedition end before we even started?
Thinking about it this way, the Northern Expedition is more important. Holding Chang'an will open up the entire pattern in the north.
The pattern is open!
This is true for the Jin army, and it is even more true for the Di Qin army.
Everyone is doing it for their own small calculations, and no one is talking about anyone else. Here, the big men in Jingkou are discussing, and over there, in Qinzhou, General Fulong's ears have no time to relax.
"Did you know that Zhu Xu went to see the Jin army guard Cui Yanyou!"
"They are all Jin people. Now that we are weak, they want to unite and change our banner!" After receiving such news, the veteran minister Quan Yi immediately became worried.
He came to meet Fulong for discussion without even a moment's delay. However, Fulong's performance was not as nervous as the old man imagined.
"Ziliang, why are you so worried?"
"You and I, we have been through such big winds and waves, why do we still need to worry about these small things?"
"This little thing?"
"You make it easy!" Quan Yi became anxious upon hearing this. He slapped the table and shouted: "I've told you a long time ago that these Jin people have always been very cunning. You can't reuse them, let alone let them guard.
Border."
"If you don't believe it, just watch it. If the battle begins, Zhu Xu will definitely take Tianshui to join the Jin army!"
Zhu Xu: It’s better that your old man understands me. That’s what I think.
Of course the old man knows him well. You must know that although Quan Yi has been hanging out with several major tribes since he became an official. At first, he was an important counselor under Yao Qiang's account, and later he defected to Fu Jian. It can be said that he is one of the few people in several major tribes.
The tribes can join forces everywhere and get along like a fish in water, and they can hold high positions.
However, one thing should not be forgotten. Although Quan Yi is working everywhere, he seems to have no position. In other words, he is only thinking about Di Qin now.
But in fact, he is passionately insulting Zhu Xu. However, he himself is also a Han.
This is why he only talks about Jin people, not Han people, because he himself is also Han people, and even if he works for Di Qin, he cannot insult his ancestors.
In this case, it would not be good for his own reputation. Reputation is very important in this place.
We must make Fulong think that Quan Yi is wholeheartedly following Fulong and there is absolutely no second intention.
Otherwise, would he still be able to live peacefully until today?
Fu Rong didn't bother to guess Quan Yi's thoughts, he had already looked away.
If you look at the current situation, Da Qin has gone from holding half of the country to being as virtuous as it is today. Not only has its territory been greatly reduced, but its headcount is definitely not comparable to what it used to be.
To put it very objectively, I am really poor and have no strength.
Doesn't Fulong want to raise troops to march eastward and have a showdown with Yao Chang?
To avenge the shame and take back the city of Chang'an?
