On the surface, there are no flaws in Beifu's economic situation, and the difficulties Xie Xuan mentioned are real.
What he wants to achieve is to make young people quit in spite of difficulties.
As for him, he can continue to practice the old ways.
However, he probably didn't know that these young people from Jingkou in front of him didn't know what it meant to quit when faced with difficulties.
They have only one belief in their minds, and they do it even though they know it is impossible to do!
"But, general, we can continue to capture Di Qin's city and get back what originally belonged to us."
"As long as you occupy a large enough territory, won't you make more money?"
What?
This kid is crazy!
Xie Xuan looked at Wang Mi with an expression of disbelief. Sure enough, he had drunk too much, and his various thoughts began to become wild.
"Young man, do you think we relied solely on strength to capture Xiangyang?"
"That's luck!"
"Without that kind of luck, do you think we can capture Xiangyang City in one day and one night?"
"Is it that easy?"
Xie Xuanfa knocked on the trunk of the tree hard, and the old tree finally sprouted a few new buds and several new leaves, all of which were knocked down by General Xie.
They fell to the ground one after another, which was a miserable sight.
General Xie's words were few, but full of sorrow and indignation.
Having fought against Di Qin for many years, he knew deeply that Di Qin's strength was not what Xiangyang City showed.
They are strong!
They are indeed strong!
This time, they were able to successfully capture Xiangyang City because the Jin army had gathered together all the assets they could afford.
The soldiers from Beifu, Jingzhou, and even the elite from Jiangzhou all gathered in Xiangyang to deliver a fatal blow to Xiangyang City.
But to be fair, Jin has already pulled out all the troops it can, but what about Di Qin?
The few troops in Xiangyang City were just some of Di Qin's elite troops. Their large numbers of troops and countless cavalry were still entrenched in Chang'an and had not moved south at all.
In this context, how easy is it to seize more cities?
"In my opinion, if we can capture Xinye City again, we won't have any big victories this year."
Xinye, another important military town to the north of Xiangyang City, is an important city along Baishui, a tributary of the Huaihe River. It is also crucial for the Jin Dynasty to establish an offensive and defensive system.
According to the past record of the battle between the north and the south, Xie Xuan made a prediction. With the current strength of the Jin Dynasty, although Xiangyang City was recovered by luck, it did not use much strength.
However, if we take the new field again, we will be at the end of our battle and we will not make any further progress.
This is also an important reason why Xie Xuan quickly led the Beifu army to return to the court after the army had just won in Xiangyang with great momentum.
In whose hands is Xiangyang City now?
The answer is Jingzhou soldiers.
That’s right!
It was the group of Jingzhou soldiers led by Mr. Huan.
There are no Beifu soldiers guarding Xiangyang City. From inside to outside, from top to bottom, it is the territory of Jingzhou soldiers.
Xie Xuan's arrangement is completely reasonable and in line with convention.
In the past, Xiangyang, an important military town, had always been controlled by Jingzhou soldiers.
If it had not been for Huan Chong's waste and lost it three years ago, the imperial court would not have wanted to interfere in Xiangyang's affairs, let alone send elites from Beifu to help Huan Chong.
According to the relationship between the armies of the Jin Dynasty, the friendship between Beifu soldiers and Jingzhou soldiers is thinner and more fragile than white paper.
It can be said that there is no communication with each other.
The Jin Dynasty under the control of the Sima family had this advantage, and it was definitely an advanced advantage that no previous dynasty had.
Because we are weak and no one can control it, the Sima family is very open-minded. Since no one listens to my orders, we will just leave it alone.
Local affairs are controlled by each aristocratic family. Not only the finances of a place, but also the defense of a place are basically controlled by the aristocratic family that rules this region.
In the eyes of the Sima family, Xiangyang belongs to the Jingzhou area and has always been the territory of the Huan family. Whether it is occupied or taken away by Di Qin is all the matter of the Huan family of Qiao County.
Therefore, after the loss of Xiangyang City, Huan Chong occasionally challenged the city for three consecutive years, but never succeeded in getting the city back.
Do you think the emperor of the Sima family is anxious?
Also anxious.
Would you say they are distraught?
Of course it’s impossible!
That's the Huan family's business. What does the Sima family have to do with it?
If it hadn't been for the news that Fu Jian was planning to invade Jin on a large scale, Sima Yao wouldn't have sat up from his dying illness and mobilized the troops of Beifu.
No way!
No way!
If you don't cheer up, Sima Yao will no longer be the emperor!
Xie Xuan entrusted Xiangyang City to Huan Chong just because he understood the truth about the imperial situation.
Although Huan Chong, an old man, is usually unreliable, he can always be a little decent in the face of such a big victory.
Besides, Huan Chong also had Huan Yi by his side.
Among the younger generations of the Huan family, the one that Xie Xuan valued most was Huan Yi, who had been hiding in Jiangzhou. It was difficult to transfer him out of Jiangzhou this time, so how could he be easily allowed to go back again.
Huan Yi has always been a young general that Xie Xuan valued, and this battle in Xiangyang also proved that in addition to being amazing at playing the flute, he was also an expert in fighting.
Such a talented person has always been rejected by the imperial court and feared by the Sima family just because he belongs to the Huan family. It is really unjust.
After discussion, Xie Xuan officially handed over the important task of fighting for Xinye City to Huan Yi, and Huan Chong also agreed.
Why doesn't the old man agree?
Of course he agrees!
As long as Mr. Huan is not allowed to compete for Xinye, that will be the best.
As long as Huan Yi can successfully recapture Xinye, it will mean that the power of the Huan family has expanded. Huan Yi's contribution is Huan Chong's contribution and is the glory of the entire Huan family.
Although Huan Yi himself is reluctant to admit his identity, this does not affect how others view him.
Although Huan Yi took away some of the troops originally affiliated with Huan Chong, the total strength was still not enough.
This force coupled with such a young general and the lack of other strong foreign aid proved that Xie Xuan's plan was limited to retaking Xinye City.
Once you advance to this point, you can stop. Historically, siege of a city has never been considered successful unless it is captured.
Any city still needs to be maintained and managed. Only if these cities that have returned to the Jin Dynasty can be retained and stabilized can the task be considered completed.
Xie Xuan always fought steadily and steadily in his military operations.
He knew very well that Di Qin's foundation was still there and its strength was still strong. Once they were allowed to seize the opportunity, they might not be able to maintain the Xiangyang City they obtained, let alone a further city.
"The general is too sad. According to our brothers, Xinye is already in my pocket. What we in the Beifu have to consider is exactly what to do after Jingzhou troops capture Xinye."
Xie Xuan drank a full bowl and once again marveled at Wang Mi's rhetoric.
I don’t know whether it is better to say that he is an expert and bold, or that he is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
