In terms of fineness, this map is certainly not comparable to modern scales. However, the lines are slender and delicate, and the mountains, rivers, and cities are all clear.
It can be seen that Huan Yi put in a lot of effort.
"In other words, this is a partial map of the Xiangyang area." Wang Mi murmured.
"Look here."
Huan Yi held the map closer. Where he pointed, there was a small hill, which looked inconspicuous. The bottom of the hill was marked: Qiao Shan.
"Is there a road here?"
As soon as Wang Mi opened his mouth, Huan Yi's eyes lit up.
"Secretary Wang is really smart, I just want you to come to me!"
"Not many people in Jiankang have heard of Qiaoshan, but if I remember correctly, it is nearby."
"Since there is a name, no one should know it." Wang Mi raised a reasonable doubt. In his opinion, Huan Chong would not say it, Xie Xuan still has some talents in leading troops.
If there were other trails nearby, there was no way he wouldn't know about them.
It also allowed the soldiers to waste time clearing roadblocks, which as we all know is a very time-consuming project.
Facing Wang Mi's questions, Huan Yi was very calm.
"They have never seen this picture of mine. I think General Xie is not very familiar with the terrain near Xiangyang."
"Maybe you don't know much about the situation in the army. The Beifu soldiers led by General Xie have almost never fought in Jiangbei."
"The map in their hands is also relatively rough. I don't think this hill is marked on it."
That makes sense. Wang Mi nodded lightly. According to historical records, before the Battle of Feishui, Xie Xuan's Beifu soldiers were mainly active in the area around Jingkou.
"Wild King, are you sure?"
"Now, General Xie and General Huan are quarreling over this matter. It would be inappropriate for you to come up with ideas at this time."
The overt and covert fights between several major families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty continued throughout the entire dynasty. It should be said that the major families were experts in fighting internally and outsiders.
It seems like there are a few big words engraved on my forehead anytime and anywhere: We are not on good terms.
Huan Yi is from the Huan family, and his ideas will most likely arouse Xie Xuan's dissatisfaction. Are you working so hard to cover up your old Huan's ugliness?
Countless thoughts flew through my mind, and they finally boiled down to one sentence: "Wild King, you came to me, do you want me to help you convince the two generals?"
Huan Yi nodded fiercely and handed the map to him: "Wang Zhiyuan is indeed as smart as ice and snow. That's what I meant."
Haha, he actually nodded. Wang Mi was speechless.
He quickly declined: "Wild King, this is your hard work, how can I hand it over?"
"You have forgotten that General Xie has always looked down upon me, thinking that I am just an armchair strategist. If you hand over the same map, General Xie might take a serious look at it. I'll go and I'm sure I'll be disappointed."
In order to make Huan Yi give up, Wang Mi grabbed his neck and belittled himself.
But Huan Yi did not follow his train of thought.
"But let me tell you, will General Xie think that I spoke to my uncle on purpose?"
Wang Mi paused and looked Huan Yi up and down.
"Wild King, you are not such a timid person. What happened this time?"
"Say what you want to say, you did nothing wrong."
"You have also seen the situation over there. Just like the current moving method, it would take less than ten days and half a month to complete the move."
"If this continues, the army's plan to surprise Xiangyang will be delayed!"
What Wang Mi said was true. On the one hand, he certainly did it for himself. Before the Battle of Feishui, acquiring Xiangyang was a good summary of war experience for him.
On the other hand, by leveraging Xiangyang, it is possible to cause Di Qin to collapse in advance.
According to historical records, after the Battle of Feishui, Murong Chui and Murong Chong ran away one after another. Coupled with the rebellion of major tribal leaders, the once mighty Di Qin Empire collapsed overnight.
It is of course not a bad thing to follow such a collapse to find leaks, but at the same time, we must face the fact that once the Murong family is given the opportunity to defect, they will quickly rise up and establish their own forces.
Once they had stabilized their sphere of influence, it would not be so easy for the Jin Dynasty, which already had poor combat effectiveness, to conquer cities and territories.
Therefore, both in public and private matters, Wang Mi rushed to Xiangyang quickly with great urgency.
Unfortunately, Huan Yi seems to have a lot of worries this time.
Wang Mi worked hard to solve it for a long time, but he was still hesitant.
"I'm not timid, I'm just concerned about the current situation. Think about it, it's a waste of time to move the obstacles now, but it will take at least a day and a night to mobilize all the hundreds of thousands of troops near Qiaoshan."
"It would be terrible if you go through all the troubles to mobilize the army to march, but when you get there you find that there is no way at all, or it is blocked by Di Qin. Responsible things are put aside first, and the important event of advancing to Xiangyang is delayed!"
It turned out that Huan Yi was worried about this matter.
Huan Yi's worry was not groundless. The path was blocked. This was completely unexpected. Xie Xuan was now anxious to explode.
The current situation is that if you want to take a shortcut, you can only lead hundreds of thousands of troops to move at the same time. If you only mobilize a few generals and delay a little time, it may be okay. At least the personnel are small and light. Xie Xuan will definitely consider it.
However, now, behind Xie Xuan is an army of hundreds of thousands, which can be said to affect the whole body with a single move. With such a number of soldiers mobilized on a large scale, if there is really a problem in the middle, or as Huan Yi worries.
When we arrived at Qiaoshan, we found that there was no road. No one could bear this responsibility.
"Wild King, I think you should consider this matter this way." Wang Mi thought for a long time and finally persuaded: "Think about it, victory or defeat on the battlefield has always been based on strength. Luck is also very important.
One ring.”
"What is luck?"
"Luck is gambling, it never happens out of thin air."
"If I make this suggestion now, it is very likely that I will save a lot of time. Look at the current situation. I dare say that even if we move day and night, we will not be able to clear all the obstacles in less than ten days."
"If your suggestion succeeds, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"
What Wang Mi said is true. In war, you have to take some risks.
"If you still hesitate, I can go with you to talk."
Wang Mi patted Huan Yi on the shoulder and gave him reassurance.
As soon as he heard that Wang Mi was going to follow him, Huan Yi immediately became energetic.
"I've been waiting for your words for a long time!"
"Let's go together!"
Why is he so excited?
Wang Mi suddenly felt like he had been deceived. Could it be that this was what Huan Yi had in mind when he came to see him?
Xiao Wang felt his little heart. Fortunately, he had second-hand preparations. Otherwise, Huan Yi would have to drag him into the pit.
