"The general is right!" Wang Mi shouted, and continued: "The Lord of Qin, Fu Jian, is indeed brave and good at fighting. However, first of all, he has been stealing the throne for a long time. He has not fought for a long time and has not led troops.
His ability may not necessarily be greater than that of Murong Chui. Furthermore, doesn’t the general think that Fu Jian has a deeper intention behind assigning Murong Chui to Xiangyang?”
"You keep talking."
Although Lao Xie was disdainful and felt like he was being dragged into a pit again by Wang Mi, he had to admit that Wang Mi's words had some kind of magic power for him, and he couldn't help but want to continue listening.
Even when Wang Mi paused deliberately, he urged him to continue speaking quickly.
Xie Xuan was interested, which comforted Wang Mi.
After all, Lao Xie still has the final say on this team now. Xiao Wang cannot overstep his authority. Only with Xie Xuan's support can all his plans be implemented.
"I mean, is there such a possibility?"
"Qin Lord Fu Jian, do you want to go to the battlefield in person this time?"
Xie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with some irony: "How is this possible, Secretary Wang, if you make such a guess, I have to say that you are too bold."
"Not to mention that the situation in Xiangyang City will not shake the foundation of Di Qin at all. Even if Di Qin wants to have a showdown with Jin this time, Fu Jian has absolutely no reason to conquer it himself."
"It has been more than 20 years since Di Qin founded the country, and Fu Jian is also very old. How could he abandon the entire court and lead an army on an expedition?"
"This is a very irresponsible behavior for himself and the entire Qin court. And I heard that not long ago, Fu Jian moved several Di nobles to remote places to guard them.
There are not many Di Qin clans in Chang'an City."
"In this case, does Fu Jian dare to conquer it himself?"
Of course Lao Xie is right, this is also the way normal people think.
However, what Wang Mi could not tell Xie Xuan was that the current Fu Jian was not a normal person. He wanted to create immortal achievements and was dreaming.
"It seems to me that this is very possible."
"It was precisely because Fu Jian wanted to go on an expedition that he deliberately released his close friend Murong Chui from Chang'an early and asked him to come to Xiangyang to lead the army."
"In this way, without this source of trouble, even if Chang'an City is not guarded by Fu Jian, nothing major will happen. By the time Murong Chui finds out that Fu Jian is also at the front line, it will be too late to return troops."
"Even if Murong Chui wants to cause trouble, he can't."
"Your analysis makes sense." Xie Xuan expressed partial approval.
"However, what does Di Qin's internal affairs have to do with our army?"
"Even if, as you said, the Qin territory is empty and Murong Chui wants to flee from Xiangyang City, our army will only be able to take back Xiangyang City at best. Next, if Fu Jian really mobilizes with all his troops, the pressure on us will be
Being bigger is definitely not a good thing.”
"Our army needs to mobilize more troops to deal with Fu Jian's massive invasion." Thinking of this possibility, Xie Xuan couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
If the capture of Xiangyang City led to a large-scale invasion by Qin soldiers, it would be a blessing or a worry for the Jin Dynasty.
Spread your fingers and think about it carefully. If you can't beat it, you really can't beat it.
Xie Xuan's face gradually turned from relaxed to sad and helpless. Wang Mi could probably guess a little bit of Lao Xie's thoughts.
For the current Jin army, the top priority is how to return to the capital Jiankang as soon as possible on the basis of recapturing Xiangyang City.
The development of black gunpowder should be put on the agenda. Otherwise, the Central Plains cannot be pacified.
As for Xie Xuan, after taking back Xiangyang City, he also wanted to withdraw his troops and return to Jiankang for a short rest, and then take a look at the situation in the court to decide on the next strategy.
"General, of course it does matter!"
"It's a big deal!"
"If Murong Chui wants to take advantage of the chaos, he must rely on the support of our army. The intelligence reports from the front have said that there are only 5,000 Xianbei soldiers in the city. With only these 5,000 people, Murong Chui will not be able to survive even if the god comes to the world.
There is absolutely no way we can compete with the hundreds of thousands of Di Qin soldiers in the city."
"Murong Chui is also worried. Now that the Beifu soldiers are approaching the border, if there is civil strife in the city at this time, the Beifu soldiers will get ready-made benefits."
"As a defeated general, Murong Chui, who has been dormant for many years, definitely doesn't want to see such a result. He also has to make more plans for the Xianbei people and doesn't know how to take advantage. So, I said, it's not so much us
We need Murong Chui, it is better to say that Murong Chui urgently needs the power of Beifu soldiers."
"He must be waiting for such an opportunity. When the stalemate between Beifu soldiers and Di Qin reaches a certain point, the forces of both sides have been greatly depleted. Beifu has a slight advantage and urgently needs the Xianbei soldiers in the city to support him.
Take action."
"At this time, if any Xianbei soldiers in the city defect and cause chaos in the city, Murong Chui will flee with his clan members, and Xiangyang City will regard it as a thank you gift for our persistence."
"Murong Chui ordered people to secretly open the city gate and hand over Xiangyang City. For him, this must be a good deal."
"And we, General Xie, we must not let Murong Chuibai take advantage of him!"
Xie Xuan suddenly realized: "Yes!"
"We must occupy Xiangyang City!"
Look, this old Xie is too conservative in his thinking and has no enterprising spirit at all.
"Not only Xiangyang City, if we can really go through the chaos in Xiangyang City, it is very possible to lure Fu Jian out of Chang'an, shake the foundation of Di Qin, and whip the Central Plains!"
"General, think about it. Once the news of Murong Chui's escape from Xiangyang City and his return to his ancestral home reaches Chang'an City, will the leaders of the various foreign tribes entrenched in Chang'an City still be able to sit still?"
"As far as I know, Murong Chui is not the only tribal leader who wants to cause trouble secretly under Fu Jian."
"When the time comes, Di Qin will be in chaos, and our army will take advantage of the victory to pursue and recapture more cities. This is definitely not a dream."
"OK!"
"Very good!"
"Zhiyuan, you are right!"
"If we can make good use of this opportunity, it is not impossible to take back all the land occupied by Di Qin within one year!"
Under the guidance of Wang Huyou, a beautiful picture was slowly unfolding before Xie Xuan's eyes. The Beifu soldiers were invincible. Wherever they went, all the cities descended, and the king's flag changed on the city walls!
"Zhiyuan, I leave this matter to you!"
Xie Xuan shouted excitedly, Leave it to me?
What do you want me to do?
Wang Mi felt that Xie Xuan's thinking seemed to have jumped a bit. At first, he seemed to be unable to keep up with Wang Mi's thoughts, but in a blink of an eye, he jumped ahead of Wang Mi again.
"What important tasks does General Xie intend to entrust to his subordinates?"
"No need to ask, of course I leave this first battle against Di Qin to you!"
The moment Lao Xie was deceived by Wang Mi, his blood boiled and he wished he could immediately go into battle and kill everyone.
As soon as the enthusiasm came, he ordered Wang Mi to act quickly, not wanting to delay for a moment.
Wang Mi suddenly became energetic. Unexpectedly, there would be unexpected gains.
"General Xie is really willing to hand over the command of the first battle to me?" Wang Mi stood up, knelt on one knee, and saluted Xie Xuan seriously.
I specifically highlighted the words "command power" to prevent Lao Xie from getting excited and failing to understand the direction of the authorization.
If you regret it later, Xiao Wang will not let it go.
