Chapter 847 Is there any reason why Jingzhou soldiers take advantage?
He was about to fall out, but Liu Yu, who had always been quick-tempered, was very calm this time. He put down his wine cup and slowly came to Wang Mi's side.
"Zhiyuan, what on earth did you make us wait for?"
"You can't wait to return to Jiankang!"
"Hey, you finally got it right this time."
"You really have to follow me back to Jiankang!"
"This is not okay!"
"Zhiyuan, we don't plan to go back!"
"We will continue to fight, capture cities and territories, fight north, west, whatever we want, but we can't go back!"
Before Liu Yu could do anything, He Wuji jumped up.
This reaction was too big, and Xiao Zhiyuan was helpless.
"Wuji, I understand your feelings, but you also have to be realistic. Look at our current situation. How many troops do we still have? What is the status of our soldiers?"
"We won't be able to fight anymore in a short period of time!"
"How can we continue to fight if we don't go to rest?"
"We have already made a mistake in Yecheng. Di Qin suddenly collapsed, and the morale of the Qin soldiers was also low. Many towns near Yecheng were divided up by Yao Qiang and other tribes. Yecheng was an isolated city. However, there is one more thing.
Don’t forget it.”
Seeing that the brothers' spirits were all attracted, Wang Mi's interest also rose. He drank tea and talked about it, like a storyteller.
It’s just that the audience is a bit small, considering that they are all brave generals, it’s okay!
"Before we came to Yecheng, Murong's tribe had been trapped outside Yecheng for more than half a month! Although they did not go to war with Di Qin, they also had small battles with each other. We have all seen this.
"
"In addition, with Murong's troops watching in front of the gate, the Qin soldiers in the city can't keep up with their supplies. They feel even more anxious and their morale is even lower."
"This is all because the Xianbei Army helped us. After the war started, although the Xianbei Army did not contribute much, they still followed the war. We should not forget these contributions."
"We have new weapons. This is our confidence. However, we must also realize that after repeated hard battles, the soldiers also need to rest."
"Most of the members of this army are from Jingkou. They can't leave their hometown and are already homesick. If they are not allowed to go back to rest and recuperate, I can guarantee that the combat effectiveness of this army will definitely decline."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hot military tent suddenly became much deserted, and neither Liu Yu nor He Wuji spoke.
These problems indeed need to be solved urgently, but fighting also requires luck.
If this period of time has passed, maybe the situation will be completely different next time when they are fully prepared for the Northern Expedition!
Perhaps, what we have to face is a tougher enemy!
Liu Yu was a person who couldn't hold back his words, so after thinking over and over again, he finally spoke out his thoughts.
Of course Wang Mi wouldn't be angry, he just listened silently.
Then he smiled softly: "Jinnu, although we have to return to Jiankang for a short rest, you don't have to worry. Firstly, the time will definitely not be very long. Secondly, after the rest, our army will definitely be stronger.
increase."
"Furthermore, don't forget that our Jin army only has one army, our Beifu soldiers?"
"In Jingzhou, there is also old General Huan Chonghuan who has hoarded a large amount of weapons and gunpowder. Don't forget him."
who?
Huan Chong?
Is there such a number one person in my army in the Jin Dynasty?
Yes, I have!
Not only that, but General Huan is still the oldest and has the highest official position. These little kids here must not look down on him.
Mr. Huan is so awesome!
Not to mention, looking at the Jin Dynasty, Mr. Huan is now the number one rich man. He not only has money, but also people and big treasures!
What about your Beifu soldiers?
Although Wang Mi was there to protect us and we had a lot of extra weapons and gunpowder, it was only temporary. After a big battle, basically not a single hair was left.
A pauper!
Mr. Huan was different. He was always in a state of plundering. Before leaving Jiankang, he had already defrauded Puchao of many new weapons.
After that, while Wang Mi and the others were fighting fiercely in Nanyang, he frequently contacted Pu Chao and exchanged a batch of weapons and gunpowder for his support.
In addition, Wang Mi did not master the technology of making advanced weapons such as artillery gunpowder. Before Huan Chong left Jiankang, he had arranged for five skilled craftsmen to be handed over to him to take back to Jingzhou.
Make new weapons on the spot.
In this way, General Huan has both purchased goods and self-made goods, so his inventory is very sufficient.
What is the more important point?
The other thing is that the Beifu soldiers fought desperately for several battles, and they were as tired as that, and they had not yet achieved any benefits.
Now that all the inventory has been used up, I don’t know where to get the gunpowder for the next war!
However, Mr. Huan has not fought a single battle in the past two months. Therefore, the weapon reserves of Jingzhou soldiers are growing positively without any consumption.
What kind of noodles is this?
It seems like he is laughing and joking, but actually, looking at it now, Mr. Huan is really shrewd!
"yes!"
"And this old man, why have you forgotten him!" He Wuji, who had been pretending to be polite just now, finally couldn't help it at this time.
The true form was revealed.
Eh!
That's right.
My brothers in Beifu should be united in dealing with the outside world. Why should we compete with our own people?
"Zhiyuan, what do you think?" Liu Yu also asked.
Among the several people, although the He brothers have better luck, it has to be said that the one who can really handle the situation is Liu Yu.
His opinion cannot be disrespected, so he said that on the battlefield in Yecheng, it looked like He Mai was running around and had a high sense of presence.
In fact, all he does are auxiliary activities.
He gathered the remnant soldiers, opened the city gate, rushed in, and accepted surrender. These were just small tasks and could not be considered a tough battle.
In terms of being able to win battles, be able to carry out tasks, and be reliable at critical moments, it depends on Liu Yu.
Therefore, the attitude of this fierce man is very important.
This is why Wang Mi has not made arrangements for him. How to arrange him depends on his own wishes.
Wang Mi couldn't hold his head and force him to agree.
But now, looking at Liu Yu's situation, it seems that he still agrees that he cannot stay in Yecheng.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www.yeguoyuedu.com to install the latest version.]
This is good, and the next few things will be easy to discuss.
Wang Mi rolled up his sleeves and sat down with several brothers.
After thinking again and again, he spoke again: "I think after the Battle of Yecheng, our army will start a large-scale Northern Expedition!"
"We have discussed this matter before, but at that time, we did not have an important northern town in our hands. Do you still remember?"
"Remember!"
“I will never forget it!”
"That was before the Xiangyang War started." Liu Yu's eyes lit up immediately and his voice was trembling.
At this moment, the brothers were as excited as ever, as if their long-held dream had finally come true.
That kind of joyful and joyful mood is insignificant to outsiders.
Only those who have experienced these things like the Jingkou brothers can understand. If the Jingzhou soldiers are not good enough, the imperial court cannot do it.
At that time, they all had a common dream, which was to take back the north and return to their homeland.
It seems like a long time ago now, but in fact it was only a few months ago, a very insignificant period of time in the long years.
At that time, no one could guarantee that this goal would be achieved.
And now, when several brothers gather in the military tent again, Yecheng, this ancient capital that has been passed down for hundreds of years, returns to the control of the Jin army.
Everything seems to be no longer so far away.
"Zhiyuan, what are your plans?" Compared to Liu Yu, who is a practical person, He Wuji was even more unable to restrain the surging emotions in his chest.
Wang Mi felt that if he said he could raise troops now, he could even pick up the gun immediately and continue running to the next town.
One more fight!
"Wuji, sit down."
"Don't worry."
"This matter is of great importance and needs long-term consideration."
Wang Mi pressed his hands, but He Wuji could not sit still. He was wandering back and forth in the military tent as if he had lost his mind.
It seemed like a perpetual motion machine. The power was so strong that it fell into infinite internal friction. Without anyone to control it remotely, He Wuji couldn't stop.
Hey hey hey!
No wonder, the brothers are all young men in their twenties. They are in their prime years. Who doesn’t want to make achievements?
Who doesn’t want to ride on the battlefield?
Especially now that these young generals in Beifu are fighting so well and their morale is high, they naturally hope to continue to use their talents to bring peace to the Central Plains!
All understand.
Wang Mi thought so too. It was a pity that he would not be able to accompany them in the next period of time.
These matters of fighting can only be left to the brothers.
He wanted to focus his attention on the court, but he ended up fighting with those old foxes who had been in officialdom for a long time.
Therefore, the next arrangement becomes particularly important.
"It is certain to continue the campaign, but I think that before continuing the Northern Expedition, our main force must return to Jiankang to rest for a period of time."
"It is precisely because of this that I advocate letting the Di people go first and let them contribute some efforts to defend Yecheng."
"Because most of our army will definitely bring back Jiankang."
Liu Yu nodded and took a rest. He could understand that in this battle of Yecheng, although the brothers in Beifu did not spend too much energy on the battle, the long journey still made them very tired.
In addition, most of the Beifu soldiers are from counties near Jingkou. It has been nearly a month since the expedition. The soldiers are homesick and are not mentally prepared for the long-term Northern Expedition. If they are not allowed to go back and rest for a while
, may not be able to maintain strong morale.
"However, I think that there should be as many Beifu soldiers staying in Yecheng as possible. Di Qin is cunning. Although they don't have many soldiers left now, it is inevitable that they will come again after our army leaves.
To cause chaos."
You see, this is the difference in thinking between people at that time and Wang Mi, an outsider.
In this era, Wang Mi always looked at things from an objective perspective and his attitude was relatively fair. However, serious Jin people like Liu Yu and He Wuji had a deep-seated hatred for Di Qin and the Xianbei people.
Whenever one thinks of them, the first thing that comes to mind is their erratic nature and their daily lack of trustworthiness.
This way of thinking has formed an inertia.
Even though Di Qin's power has long been different from what it used to be, and was even crippled by the Jin army, the brothers still don't believe it.
He always felt that if three or five Di people got together, they could cause trouble. If he could, he would like to turn these Di people into beans and spread them all over the south of the Yangtze River, one bean at a time, and no one would interfere with anyone else.
It would be best if these Di people and Xianbei people cannot help each other and no one can find them!
Of course, getting rid of it is the best!
Although reason told Liu Yu that the possibility of doing so was indeed low, he vaguely had such expectations.
This is the seed of hatred. This seed has been hidden in the hearts of Jin people for decades, and now it has long taken root, sprouted, and thrived.
It has already grown into a big tree in the sky. Don't try to change their minds, because you simply can't.
It would be a great blessing to have them temporarily accept your idea.
"Don't worry, I won't let Di people take over the majority."
"I wonder if you heard it outside the tent just now. Fu Zuan and I made it very clear that some of the Di people in the city are going to follow us back to Jiankang."
"Not to mention that Fu Zuan, as an enemy general, is also our trophy. We finally caught such a living person. Of course, we have to bring him back to Jiankang, which can be regarded as an explanation to the court. Those soldiers, if they follow the instructions
Some previous practices may have allowed them to guard Yecheng in place."
"However, I consider that Yecheng is still surrounded by Yi and Di troops. They are large in number and have widespread influence. If so many Di people are placed in the city, I really won't worry. Once we leave, it will be like
The slaves are worried that they will definitely collude together."
"So, we have to trap these Di people in Yecheng without being able to move, and we can't let them get too strong. Divide and conquer is the best way."
"Amai, the arrangement of military personnel is also the focus of follow-up work. You must plan this carefully."
Wang Mi thought that he was about to give instructions, so he immediately walked to He Mai's side and gave him some advice while he was lying in bed. He Mai was busy writing and even drew two or three relationship diagrams.
Hearing Wang Mi's words, he didn't even have time to raise his head. He just nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've thought about it all."
"You guys wait a minute. Tomorrow, I will let you take a good look at how I deal with these people. I will ensure that I arrange them properly!"
There was not a single enemy in this military tent, but He Mai's words seemed to be spoken through gritted teeth, and his whole body was filled with anger.
Although it is not tomorrow yet, Wang Mi seems to be able to see the tragic situation of the soldiers of Di Qin tomorrow.
"That's it, that's good."
"Zhiyuan, go on, we will all obey your arrangements." Liu Yu said in a deep voice.
