"Now, in the middle of the campaign, if Huan Yi is sent back to Jiankang, he will not have any objections. He is just worried that there will be some voices in the Jingzhou Ministry, accusing me of crossing the river and destroying the bridge, and wants to leave all the great achievements of the Northern Expedition to his own people.
."
"So, after much thought, I decided that the most suitable one is yours."
"In terms of martial arts, you are just like a slave. In terms of strategy, you can be ranked first. I can rest assured that you will return to Jiankang."
To hand over such an unpopular job to He Wuji, as a boss, he should naturally know the importance of a word of praise.
Compliment is not only applicable to subordinates to superiors, but also vice versa.
Of course He Wuji was not happy either. This was for sure. As a veteran of the Beifu, he had already performed very well in this Northern Expedition and could easily be ranked among the top in the merit list.
What a great contributor!
However, now, we have to withdraw midway. Although protecting Jiankang is indeed the top priority, we can't let the enemy take over our nest.
However, facing the easy success and the temptation to recapture Chang'an, no one would hesitate.
"All right!"
"Everything is taken care of by me. I will never let anything go wrong in Jiankang City. However, it is not enough for me to go back alone. I want to bring one more person with me."
Bring one more person?
This is, it’s really a disadvantage to go back alone, so you want to bring someone to support you?
who is it?
Would it be such an honor?
"I want to take Huan Xuan back with me."
"Huan...Huan Xuan?"
"Wuji, are you serious?"
Wang Mi's jaw almost dropped. He was so shocked and horrified!
Why is this?
Why choose Huan Lingbao?
"Wuji, Lingbao is still too young, and his personality is not under control. Why should you take him back to Jiankang?"
"I'm afraid he can't help you. He can only hold you back."
Isn't it self-destruction to ask Huan Lingbao as a helper? Is He Wuji crazy?
This is impossible.
When he talked about this topic, his expression was extremely calm and collected, and it seemed that he spoke after careful consideration.
Definitely not on a whim.
"You don't need to tell me, I know it."
"Just to let him hold me back, so that he won't hold you back."
How great!
Enough buddy!
Knowing He Wuji's true thoughts, Wang Mi was filled with emotions. At the critical moment, he wanted to see his brother!
Wang Mi didn't even ask, so He Wuji took the initiative to help him out, thinking that Huan Lingbao was indeed a hot potato.
No matter where you put it, it won't make people feel at ease.
Especially in the future battles, it will become more and more difficult and difficult. Carrying such a mentally uncontrolled character is like a time bomb.
A crisis seems likely to happen at any time.
To be honest, even Wang Mi himself felt very guilty when he brought Huan Xuan with him, fearing that he would cause trouble if his forehead got hot at any point.
However, He Wuji now said that he would help him solve the evil and transfer him from the Northern Expedition. Wang Mi was also worried about this good brother.
I can’t do it, can you?
Besides, what is the current situation in Jiankang City and what is the strength of Sima Shangzhi and his ilk? Beifu still has no idea of the details.
He Wuji rashly wanted to take Huan Xuan back, which was really dangerous.
If Huan Xuan disobeys orders in Jiankang City or even surrenders to the enemy, then He Wuji's situation will be in danger!
"Wuji, no!"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
"Brother Sima Shang is not an ordinary person. Besides, we don't know much about Huan Xuan's sincerity. If it were Huan Chong, I might be able to vouch for it. But if Huan Xuan arrives in Jiankang City, he will see
What should I do if Sima Shangzhi's Bingfeng and Huan Xuan get mixed up with them instead?"
"What can you do?"
"Too dangerous!"
Doing so is equivalent to putting He Wuji into a dangerous situation. Although this is his own wish, as the coach, especially Wang Mi, who is always known for caring for his brothers, he will never let him
This is done.
"It might be okay if I follow you."
"I can't allow you to take him with you yourself."
He Wuji laughed dumbly. Was Zhiyuan looking down on him?
Or are you worried about him?
However, if he doesn't bring Huan Xuan, who can he bring with him?
He Wuji still wanted to leave those truly elite soldiers and generals to Wang Mi's disposal. It was really inappropriate for them to return to Jiankang at this moment.
For example, Wei Yongzhi still hoped to achieve great achievements in the Northern Expedition. After all, he had no chance to participate in the previous battles.
I am very positive now.
Compared with him, He Wuji's personal achievements have accumulated to a certain extent. Even if he were to participate in the Chang'an War, to be honest, he might not be able to obtain greater achievements.
Therefore, it seems that the most economical and reasonable way is to take Huan Xuan back to Jiankang City to guard against Sima Shangzhi.
"Huan Xuan's temperament is unstable. If he encounters Sima Shangzhi and cannot defeat him, but instead surrenders to him, your situation will be critical. I can't do this."
Many things would be better explained clearly. In fact, it was obvious that Wang Mi didn't want to do this at the beginning.
However, He Wuji couldn't stand it, and he was firm in his belief.
Huan Xuan has always been uncontrollable. With his uncle Huan Chong here watching him, it can still be somewhat effective.
Once he breaks away from the main force and is released back to Jiankang, there is no guarantee that he will do some weird things.
Very dangerous!
This is not only for He Wuji himself, but also for the foundation of the entire Beifu Army.
If Jiankang City really falls into the hands of the Sima family, it will definitely be a major blow to Wang Mi.
It is also harmful to the morale of the army.
The current composition of the Beifu soldiers is also different from that in history. The vast majority of the Beifu soldiers in history were refugees who crossed the river from the north.
The roots of these people are in the north, and they are obsessed with crossing the Yellow River. Therefore, the Northern Expedition takes a long time, and they don't care. Maybe the climate and environment in the north are more suitable for them!
However, the Beifu soldiers now led by Wang Mi are indeed recruiting refugees, and there are a lot of them. However, there are also many young people recruited from Jingkou and surrounding counties in the army.
Because the Beifu soldiers were extremely brave and won many battles, among the people, young people were very enthusiastic about joining the army.
Tens of thousands of people were gathered in a short period of time, which was already a very impressive number.
These people are all authentic southerners. If they go on an expedition for too long, they will definitely feel homesick. This will also affect their combat effectiveness.
Therefore, effectively shortening the process of the battle and protecting Jiankang City at the same time was the core of the Northern Expedition.
The current Beifu soldiers will not allow Jiankang to be compromised. If the situation really changes, what will the brothers do?
Doesn’t it mean that I have to have a home and not be able to return?
Stay in this far north and become a wandering ghost?
However, what He Wuji said makes sense. If Jiankang City is so important and the situation is so critical, should he be allowed to go back alone?
Can you rest assured?
You know, the generals in Jiankang City do not have the combat experience of the generals in Beifu. They are all armchair enthusiasts.
Sima Shangzhi and others are full of hatred. As long as they can get close to Jiankang, they will really fight with all their might!
Risk everything and fight with all your might!
If you succeed, you can become the emperor. If you fail, you will just lose your life. Losing your life is certainly not a good thing, but the temptation of being the emperor is still very huge.
To be honest, few people can resist.
Especially the people of the old Sima family have such a dream.
No problem, really no problem!
A kid like Sima Dezong can become an emperor, why can't we?
We are so old and capable, at least our brains are normal, so why can't we be emperors?
Sima Shangzhi, who came to attack Jiankang City with such ideals, definitely had the belief that he would win, and his explosive power should not be underestimated.
It is indeed a bit overwhelming for Wuji to face such a complicated situation alone.
If there is one person who can make Wang Mi feel completely at ease, it is Liu Yu. As long as he is here, there is no need to worry about the Sima family causing trouble.
It's a pity that Liu Yu is still really weak at the moment.
I really can't spare any time.
Who else can I turn to?
"alright!"
"Don't hesitate, just let me go back to Jiankang by myself!"
"We haven't figured out yet whether the Sima family will cause trouble or how they want to cause trouble. Maybe I will just wait in vain."
"Besides, my Luzhu is still waiting for me at Jingkou. Now let me lead the troops back, and I can still meet her."
Ah, speaking of Miss Lvzhu, she is indeed sentimental and beautiful. It is indeed like not seeing her in one day is like three autumns apart.
"That's good. You go back alone. I'm really worried. If something goes wrong, you don't even have anyone to discuss it with."
"Zeng Jing."
"The end will be here."
Since he decided to follow Wang Mi, Zeng Jing has always been by his side. Basically, he and Wang Mi are inseparable. Many times, he has no sense of presence.
But when you need him, he will always appear at the right time and at the right place.
This is Zeng Jing's ability.
"The situation in Jiankang City is critical now. You have heard about it. How about you follow General He back to Jiankang?"
"This is absolutely impossible."
Zeng Jing had not yet replied, so He Wuji disagreed.
"Zeng Jing has always been protecting you, especially now that the situation on the battlefield is so dangerous. How could he leave you?"
The witty Zeng Jing was very good at getting things done at this time. He chose to keep his mouth shut and not speak.
Why doesn't he speak?
That's because it's simply not something he can decide.
This matter is very complicated to talk about, especially Zeng Jing's mentality, which is even more unpredictable.
At this moment, even he himself couldn't figure it out clearly.
As a soldier, returning to health now means making achievements, so who is not willing to strive for it?
However, if Zeng Jing returns to Jiankang at this time, it will be inconsistent with his long-standing philosophy and positioning.
Ever since he followed Wang Mi, King Langya had treated him well, so he himself also targeted the chief guard who followed Wang Mi.
Moreover, now he has achieved this goal.
It's a good job, why give it up?
Besides, there is another hidden disadvantage of returning to Jiankang at this time, and that is the issue of loyalty.
You must know that in Zeng Jing's position, you absolutely need to be loyal to Wang Mi. You must be absolutely loyal to him and not have any selfish thoughts.
However, if Zeng Jing chooses to leave at this moment, although Wang Mi took the initiative, it does not mean that he must have thought so in his heart.
Maybe he also wanted to test whether Zeng Jing was of the same mind as him, or maybe Zeng Jing couldn't resist the huge temptation of establishing meritorious deeds?
Putting aside these personal elements, Zeng Jing was indeed worried about Wang Mi, fearing that he would make a mistake.
Due to multiple reasons, Zeng Jing could only choose not to speak and let He Wuji and Wang Mi decide whether to stay or go.
However, He Wuji could not convince Wang Mi. Ever since they met, Wang Mi had been in charge. Whether it was his ideas or tactics, Wang Mi had the final say.
So, when he said this, it actually showed that he had made up his mind, and He Wuji's power could not make him change.
What to do?
Then you can only obey your fate!
Jiankang City, I, Zeng Jing, am here!
After deciding on this matter, Wang Mi asked them to rush to Jiankang without stopping, without letting them delay at all.
After they left, King Langya felt relieved and went around to the military tent at the rear.
Although Yongzhou City has been captured now, many generals including Wang Mi still have not entered Yongzhou City.
One is that the order in the city is still very chaotic. For their own safety, senior generals should not take risks easily.
Furthermore, there is no need to enter the city.
He Mai and others are already in charge of various tasks in the city, and the current Yongzhou City is also different from the several cities that were conquered before.
Now that it belongs to neither Yao Qiang nor Ding Ling's leaders, it is impossible for them to command Yongzhou City.
So, as for the Jin army, this time, they must put an important general to guard it.
I haven't decided on Wang Mi yet, but it's not difficult.
Ahead, the only hard bones visible to the naked eye were Chang'an and Luoyang. This time, Wang Mi did not march and fight according to the previous Northern Expedition strategy.
Instead, they bypassed the important town of Luoyang further south and attacked Chang'an from Tianshui to Qinzhou. For the Beifu soldiers in history, of course they could not use such tactics. The combat cycle was too long and the logistics supplies could not keep up.
I'm not very familiar with the route.
Besides, a more realistic problem is that the Jin army in history had poor weapons and equipment, and was completely unable to create a generation gap with the enemy.
Since there is no generation difference, how can we win quickly?
If you can't win quickly, let alone capture more territory.
Historically, dynasties that were able to achieve unification on the basis of perennial divisions often had their own specific historical conditions.
And obviously, without Wang Mi, today's late Jin Dynasty would not have that condition at all. It should be said that it is still far away.
