After working hard for two days, we finally replenished our equipment. With the efforts of all parties, the trip to Xiangyang was just around the corner.
This time, the Jin army had sufficient strength, but the soldiers stationed at Yuanjiang garrison included the main forces of the Jingzhou soldiers, the Huanchong Corps and the Huan Shiqian Corps.
The Beifu soldiers started very quickly. In Jingkou, they had already replenished a considerable number of troops. In Jingling City, Xie Xuan fought two beautiful surprise battles.
Not only did it severely weaken the Qin army's vitality, it also effectively preserved the strength of the Beifu soldiers. During the past few days when Yuanjiang garrison was resting, Beifu was not idle either. It carefully selected from among Yuanjiang garrison's own defenders.
He recruited many high-quality soldiers and added them to his military camp.
In this way, it can be said that before the Battle of Xiangyang officially started, the Jin army had almost gathered all the strongest troops in the country to garrison at Yuanjiang.
In comparison, the situation in Xiangyang can also be prejudged. According to Wang Mi's judgment, the defenders who went south to Jingling when the Liang Cheng brothers went south should probably have been stationed in Xiangyang.
This army has now been defeated by the Jin army. The general was killed. After fleeing for his life in a panic, the morale is also very low.
Then the only thing we can count on is the army brought by Fu Rui and Murong Chui from Xinye. Their strength is quite strong and should not be underestimated.
The last big problem turned out to be the Yuzhou Corps led by Huan Yi.
Seeing that the departure was about to start tomorrow, Xie Xuan was not in a hurry at all, and seemed to have completely forgotten that Huan Yi's troops had not yet been given a clear position.
Although it was irresponsible, Xie Xuan was not anxious at all, nor did he feel a trace of guilt.
King Huanye's good temper was known to everyone inside and outside the court. Xie Xuan was even prepared to let the army set off first, and then think about the use of Huanyi's army on the way.
Lai Huanchong still has to talk about this matter. Whoever asked him to stay in Yuanjiang garrison didn't know how to send a message to Jingling!
Did he think he could hide here secretly without anyone noticing and pretend he wasn't a deserter?
If he had known earlier that Huan Chong's large army was still hidden in Yuanjiang garrison, Xie Xuan would have let Huan Yi stay in Jingling City.
However, now that Huan Yi has followed the army to the north, it is even more unrealistic for him to go back.
How to arrange Huan Yi's troops is really a big problem.
Compared with the troops commanded by Huan Chong and Xie Xuan, the Yuzhou soldiers under Huan Yi were too small in size, and no position in the left, center and right armies was suitable for him.
While Xie Xuan was hesitating, Huan Yi took the initiative to come to the door.
It's getting late and the night is getting late, so naturally I should speak openly if I have anything to say.
Before finishing the cup of tea, Huan Yi said bluntly: "General Xie, I have some ideas about the formation of troops this time."
Xie Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he took a breath, here he comes!
finally come!
Has the good-tempered Huan Yi finally achieved success?
"Ye Wang, you don't have to worry. There are many troops stationed in Yuanjiang garrison now, and it will take some time to arrange the troops. When we get to Xiangyang, we will definitely arrange a good position for you."
Wang Mi drooped his eyelids and listened with interest, but just pretended not to care.
Lao Xie can do it!
You don't even blush when you tell lies. Look at King Huanye smiling so awkwardly. Couldn't he tell that Xie Xuan was perfunctory with him?
Xie Xuan acted like an old man and comforted Huan Yi, but he was also afraid that something might happen to him.
For a moment, the two looked at each other like this.
Xie Xuan was beating a small drum in his heart, what exactly did Huan Yi want to say?
You won't be offended by his words!
Huan Yi laughed and laughed. The more he laughed, the more Xie Xuan felt sorry for him. Although the Xie family and the Huan family were fighting fiercely in the court, Xie Xuan knew that Huan Yi was actually a fair and upright person.
Good people.
As a result, just because he was a kind-hearted person, he left him aside and ignored him for a long time. Now he was forced to come to visit him, and Lao Xie couldn't lose his face.
"There is no need to thank the general for arranging a good position for me. The number of Yuzhou soldiers under my command is already small, so there is no need to occupy a leading position in vain."
What kind of trick is this?
Huan Yi's words fell lightly to Xie Xuan's ears, with his unique soothing and casual tone.
Xie Xuanran, this seems to be completely different from what he imagined!
"What does the wild king want to do?"
Although he was sorry in his heart, Xie Xuan still planned to respect Huan Yi's idea and he was willing to withdraw voluntarily. This was something Xie Xuan wanted, and how could he refuse.
Huan Yi suppressed a smile. How could he not see Xie Xuan's intentions? When he was young, he was known for his thorough thinking.
Xie Xuan was obviously delaying. Huan Yi thought that he probably didn't know what to do with his Yuzhou soldiers.
No, Huan Yi sent him a solution.
Huan Yi waved his hand: "General Xie, the most important thing is to retake Xiangyang City as soon as possible. My Yuzhou soldiers do not need special arrangements. I have already thought about it. I will follow behind with my troops until the war begins.
, just patch a few troops."
No way!
The jade-faced general Huan Yi is actually willing to serve as a foil?
Xie Xuan was shocked!
"As for the position of the right army, I think it should be left to Shi Qian."
Give it to Huan Shiqian?
What kind of reincarnated Bodhisattva is this?
Xie Xuan was shocked again.
"This can also solve the problem of uncle and Shi Qian's quarrel, so that both of them can lead the army."
Xie Xuan shook his head slightly and looked at Huan Yi gratefully.
"Wild King, are you telling the truth?"
In the Jin Dynasty, there were some people who fought for power and profit, some people who lived in a muddleheaded way, and countless people who were arrogant and unreasonable.
But for someone as considerate as King Huanye, if there were another bunch of people, the situation in the court would not be like that.
"Of course I mean it!"
"We are both members of the Huan family, and I don't want to see my uncle and Shi Qian quarreling. I think that as long as I hand over my position in the right army, everything will be settled."
"Originally, my Yuzhou soldiers are small in number, so this arrangement is just right."
Xie Xuan is very happy that there is such a young man who understands current affairs in our country!
He walked up to Huan Yi and said excitedly: "Ye Wang, thank you very much, you have been a big help!"
"In this way, it will be easier to arrange for the three armies to advance together!"
"General Xie, you don't have to be polite. This is what I should do. If you don't have any instructions, I will go back. I will leave tomorrow and there are still some things to deal with."
What Huan Yi said was serious, without any pretense, which comforted Xie Xuan, I have a successor to the Jin Dynasty!
Watching Huan Yi's figure, Xie Xuan's eyes unconsciously turned to Wang Mi. Since just now, this person has not said a word.
With drooped eyelids and neither happy nor angry, Wang Mi has always wanted to stay by Xie Xuan's side since I don't know when.
Almost as soon as Xie Xuan rested or chatted with the generals, Wang Mi would appear not far away.
Generally speaking, Wang Mi would not overshadow General Xie Xuan's glory, but his presence still made Xie Xuan feel awkward.
