Fu Rui was also in a dilemma. He didn't want to see a beautiful lady with a delicate body standing in front of him, but he had no choice. As a member of the Fu clan, he also had the responsibility to contribute.
The wine in the gold cup swayed slightly, and under the candlelight, it showed a charming light and shadow. Right in front of Fu Rui's eyes, a strong man more than seven feet tall, wearing a right lapel, stood neatly.
There doesn't seem to be anything sneaky about it.
"Hu Si, have you found out everything?"
The surname Hu Si is a Hu surname, but the strong man in front of him is not much different from ordinary Han people from his appearance to his clothing.
It was precisely because of this advantage that Fu Rui chose him.
The strong man named Husi took a few steps closer and said bluntly: "There are currently a lot of soldiers left in Xiangyang City, but most of them are Jingzhou soldiers, and we haven't seen any from other places."
"Are they all Jingzhou soldiers?" Fu Rui raised his eyebrows, not quite believing it.
Hu Si nodded. He arrived at Yuanjiang garrison two days earlier than Changshan. He knew more about the situation in the garrison and was very sure of what he saw and heard.
"They are indeed Jingzhou soldiers."
"At that time, Huan Chong led his troops to flee to Yuanjiang garrison with great momentum. The soldiers under Huan Chong belonged to the Jingzhou tribe. After that, another wave of soldiers came. They did not reveal much information, but I paid attention.
After that, they were also flying the banner of the Huan family."
"My subordinates judge that they should be Huan Shiqian's troops."
"Huan Shiqian?"
"Wasn't he sent to Jingling by Huan Chong?"
Liang Cheng, who returned from the defeat, made it very clear that when he was in Jingling, he saw brothers Huan Shiqian and Huan Shimin.
What is certain is that Huan Shiqian's troops were stationed in Jingling City at least briefly.
"Could it be said that after the Jin army defended Jingling, Huan Shiqian went north again and returned to Xiangyang?"
It's not impossible!
There were already Jin troops guarding Jingling City, and there were quite a lot of them. These were reported by Liang Cheng, so there should be no mistake.
Moreover, Liang Cheng, who fled back to Xiangyang, also provided extremely valuable information. Beifu soldiers had already stationed in Jingling City. Among the troops that defeated Liang Cheng and Liang Yun's brothers, there were Beifu soldiers!
There was a reason why Fu Rui stayed in Xiangyang City and did not dare to move. Liang Cheng rushed north all the way to Xiangyang and immediately informed Fu Rui of the situation in Jingling City.
The Beifu soldiers have actually arrived at Jingling!
Fu Rui was most concerned about this news. Going deep into Jingling had always been Di Qin's strategic intention. In the past few years, after conquering Xiangyang, the Qin army also tried to seize Jingling several times and go deeper into the hinterland of the Jin Dynasty.
Unfortunately, the river network near Jingling became more dense and the terrain was complex, so the Qin army was always stubbornly blocked by the Jin army in Jingling.
To this day, the Qin army, which is pressing down on the border, is still helpless against Jingling City.
Now, the number of defenders in Xiangyang City is extremely large, and they are fully capable of fighting the Jin army. However, if the Beifu soldiers have already stationed in Yuanjiang garrison, the variables will greatly increase.
As a member of the Fu family, Fu Rui also possesses the traditional skills of the Fu family, which is being suspicious and having an eye for everything.
Although it was Murong Chui's idea to send spies to investigate the specific situation of Yuanjiang garrison, Fu Rui also agreed.
But Fu Rui always had doubts about Murong Chui's choice.
Although Chang Shan was born a farmer, which made it easier for him to hide his identity in the Yuanjiang garrison, he was a Han Chinese. Fu Rui always believed that if there was a chance to escape back to the Jin Dynasty territory, Chang Shan would definitely do so.
Frankly speaking, the Han people's belief in being loyal to the Han Dynasty is much stronger than that of the Di people being loyal to the Qin Dynasty. In recent years, from Ji Yi, the prefect of Weixing County who died in the battle, to Zhu Xu, the governor of Xiangyang County who did not die even though he went on a hunger strike, they
Fu Jian was shocked by his loyalty and courage.
It was precisely because he saw their integrity that Fu Jian released Zhu Xu and entrusted him with important tasks.
This shows that the Han people's loyalty to the Jin Dynasty was extremely firm.
Fu Rui had to think a little more and sent the Hu Ren Husi to go another way to Yuanjiang garrison to find out the news.
Unlike Chang Shan, Hu Si has always been a warrior. Although he looks like a Han Chinese, he doesn't know how to farm at all.
Pretending to be a farmer was no longer enough, so when he came to Yuanjiang garrison, he quickly found a job and was responsible for raising horses in the stables.
He is also familiar with this job, and it is not easy to attract attention, making it easier to hide his identity.
Now, the news between Chang Shan and Hu Si can be said to be corroborated. From this point of view, what Chang Shan said is not a lie. He was put in jail just now, and it seems that he was wrongly accused.
If Chang Shan was interested in the Jin Dynasty, he could stay in Yuanjiang garrison and never return to Xiangyang. Di Qin would not attack Yuanjiang garrison just because of his little spy.
However, Chang Shan did not do this. He came back and brought reliable news.
While Fu Rui was deep in thought, Hu Si could no longer hold himself back.
Hu Si has always had some doubts. In his opinion, neither he nor Chang Shan had any need to go to Yuanjiang garrison to investigate.
"General, since General Liang Cheng has returned, no one knows the situation in Jingling City and the Beifu soldiers who came to rescue him better than him. Why didn't the general go to General Liang to verify the situation, but he went through all the trouble to send his subordinates to work as spies?"
This is a true statement. Although Liang Yun was killed by the Jin army, Liang Cheng was still there and had successfully entered Xiangyang City, although he fled all the way.
However, they had actually fought against the Beifu soldiers. Regarding the movements of the Beifu soldiers, asking Liang Cheng was the best choice.
Although Liang Cheng was imprisoned by Fu Rui as soon as he returned to Xiangyang, according to Di Qin's handling principles, this was just a punishment measure for Liang Cheng's defeat.
When there is a larger-scale battle, Liang Cheng will still be released to continue leading the battle.
"It's just him. When he escaped back, Beifu soldiers were still in Jingling City!"
"He has no idea what the Beifu soldiers will do after that."
It seems right. The current dilemma of the Qin army is that it cannot judge whether the Beifu soldiers who have arrived at Jingling City and participated in the battle will continue to move north.
If it were another dynasty, there would naturally be no need to think too much.
It is the mission of every army to pursue victory and regain lost ground. Now that there is an opportunity, of course they must move forward bravely, but now, Di Qin is facing the Jin army.
Some things need to be reconsidered.
In the Jin Dynasty, Xiangyang belonged to the sphere of influence of the Huan family in Jingzhou. Di Qin had fought for Xiangyang several times before, but Jingzhou soldiers came forward to resist.
Until the final fall of Xiangyang City, the imperial court did not send strong troops to support Huan Chong in retaking Xiangyang. So based on this background, whether the Beifu soldiers will go north to fight for Xiangyang is a question of variables.
"We'd better stay put." After a period of careful thinking, Fu Rui decided to stay in Xiangyang and wait for the Jin army's challenge.
Although Fu Rui didn't take Chang Shan's instigation to heart, he still released him from prison. Don't think that Fu Rui is so kind and intends to let Chang Shan go.
He just reorganized Chang Shan into the team to serve as infantry.
As long as the Jin army invades Xiangyang, Chang Shan will be the first batch of cannon fodder. Does this mean that Chang Shan has no possibility of turning over?
