Eight hundred and fiftieth chapters of the Northern Expedition
Since dawn, he has been busy here. The Qin soldiers in the city came out one after another. Now there are not many Qin soldiers in the city.
It can be seen that there are indeed very few Han legions left.
However, there are few people, so we cannot abandon them!
"Captain Li, it doesn't matter if there are only a few left. You go and gather them all together. I will bring them all back to Jiankang."
Li Dalian nodded repeatedly, this is as it should be.
Now, Yecheng belongs to the Jin people, and it is natural for the Han people to stand up.
This matter really needs to be handled by Li Dalian.
However, He Mai still had too many things he could do to help, so he could only send others to do it.
Fortunately, Li Dalian still has a few enthusiastic losers around him.
Like him, they all actively advocated surrender.
Under their fierce eyes, the few remaining Han legion soldiers were quickly gathered together.
There were only about two hundred people left.
It is indeed too little!
Too little!
Just looking at their condition, we can see that the so-called tolerance and equality do not exist. Fu Jian claims to be a benevolent king, but in fact, he can never escape the limitations of the times.
The soldiers of the Han army are obviously not comparable in physical and mental state to those of the Qin soldiers. This is not because there is any physical difference between the Han people and the Di people. In fact, unlike the Jin people in Jiangzuo, the Han people in Jiangbei are generally
The body is taller and the body is stronger. This is the combined effect of latitude and climate.
The two hundred or so people in front of them were still tall and tall. Their problem was that they were sallow and thin, and looked malnourished.
It seems that people like this will not receive good treatment under Di Qin's control, which is why they become like this.
He Mai handed them over to Wei Yongzhi, and it was a happy arrangement. When the soldiers of the Jin army heard that these were brothers of the same race who were trapped in Ye City, they immediately felt sympathy.
Without the need for others to arrange it, they themselves took the initiative to bring out all the good things, including good food, good food, and good military tents.
Next, there is the arrangement of the garrison in the city. As Wang Mi said, it is impossible for all the Qin soldiers of such a large scale to follow Wang Mi and others back to Jiankang.
This is also a major hidden danger for Jiankang City.
They came back from a victorious battle, and they must not bring disaster back to Jiankang.
But who leaves and who stays?
This seems a bit troublesome.
Li Dalian also thought about this question and asked it frankly. It was really not easy. To say this, it can only be said that he was indeed devoted to the Jin army.
Can be trusted.
"Don't worry, this matter is actually very easy to handle."
Very easy?
Li Dalian was shocked. This General He looked young and very lovable, but it seemed that nothing could trouble him.
However, now he actually boasts that he can arrange the Di Qin soldiers in the city with ease, which is really hard to believe.
Who is he?
He has such ability.
After all, Li Dalian was short-sighted, but he didn't know that there were many brave and resourceful young men like He Mai among the Jin army!
Li Dalian moved forward and waited patiently for He Mai to lecture him, but He Mai, of course, was not polite.
He said leisurely: "Just keep the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the strong and healthy ones can follow us back to Jiankang."
What?
Is there such an operation?
Li Dalian was stunned at that time.
He hurriedly said: "General He, I'm afraid this is not good. Yecheng's defense is empty. I think the Jin army's officers are not enough. How can we drive away all the young and strong Qin soldiers?"
"Besides, for the sake of the Jin army, it's not good to take all those strong Qin soldiers back, in case something happens along the way..."
He Mai chuckled: "What Captain Li means is that by taking these old, weak, sick and disabled people on the road, our army will be relieved?"
"That's right. By then, everyone will be exhausted. When we get to Jiankang, there won't be many Qin soldiers left."
this……
It seems that is indeed the case...
Li Dalian stopped talking nonsense. It seemed that General He was not very smart and there was no need for him to be attentive anymore.
On the other side, Wang Mi and Liu Yu stood together, discussing another matter.
"I didn't expect that this kid He Mai is really good at doing things." Wang Mi looked in the direction of He Mai and said happily.
Liu Yu also echoed: "That's true."
"To be honest, when I saw you handing Yecheng to Amai last night, I felt a little unhappy. I always felt that Amai was not the material. Now it seems that I was overly worried, but Amai was.
More suitable than me."
Being able to realize this shows that Liu Yu is still a rational person.
Able to recognize his own limitations and have the courage to admit them. No matter whether he can maintain this original intention in the years to come, at least for now, he has done it.
"Jinu, I won't let you participate in this matter simply because there are more important things to entrust to you, which are ten times more important than guarding Yecheng!"
Liu Yu lowered his head: "Yes, I know that."
"It's good if you understand."
"How about it?"
"Are you ready?" Wang Mi looked at him calmly, his eyes were quite probing, but Liu Yu was not afraid of his probing.
He said loudly: "Of course!"
"Zhiyuan, just say whatever you want me to do!" Liu Yu's eyes flashed with gold. Not only was he ready now, he had been preparing last night.
He was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all.
All other people's tasks have been assigned, and the so-called dust has settled.
But Liu Yu is different. Among the brothers, he is the only one who has not yet found his whereabouts. However, he, Liu Yu, is obviously the most important general among the Beifu soldiers.
It is impossible for Wang Mi to have no arrangements for him.
So Liu Yu had to imagine that this so-called arrangement would be quite special and completely beyond his expectation.
Moreover, it will also be very arduous.
"I'm not afraid of difficulties, I can definitely do it!"
He claimed that he would be able to handle the task before he even started doing it, even before he knew the content of the task. This was Liu Yu's unique confidence.
Wang Mi looked at him steadily and said calmly: "I want you to preside over the Northern Expedition!"
"Northern Expedition?"
"Leave it all to me alone?"
Just as Wang Mi imagined, Liu Yu did not show too much shock about this arrangement. After many arrangements, and after Wang Mi expressed his intention to go to the Northern Expedition, Liu Yu would probably have guessed this.
the meaning of.
However, what puzzled him was that Wang Mi seemed to be planning to entrust such an important task to him alone!
It's not that he has any doubts about his ability. In fact, Liu Yu also believes that only he can shoulder such an important task.
However, just because he thinks like this does not mean that Wang Mi can think like this. Since he wants to preside over the Northern Expedition, it means that not only the Beifu soldiers, but also the Jingzhou Corps must be given full control to him, Liu Yu.
Who is Liu Yu?
He was not from a noble family like Huan Xuanwu, but he grew up to become a famous general because he liked to lead troops.
He was not like Liu Laozhi, who was born as a son of a traditional general and was born to lead troops in war.
Liu Yu was originally just an ordinary farmer in Jingkou. Even if he had a nickname, it had nothing to do with his status.
Although Liu Yu recognized his abilities and believed that compared to Liu Laozhi, he, Liu Yu, was of course more suitable to lead an army.
However, if he is really used, Wang Mi will definitely face more difficulties than he imagined.
Not only in the Beifu soldiers, but also in the court, those ministers who were eyeing him with eager eyes would never agree.
How could Wang Mi not know about Liu Yu's worries?
However, the most important thing now is to capture those important northern towns that are still in the hands of the major tribes.
This is the only thing that matters!
In the face of this matter, everything else had to give way, even the vague worry in Wang Mi's heart.
Without a general like Liu Yu to command, how could it be possible?
Counting on Wang Mi?
Of course, we can count on it, but doesn’t Wang Shilang have a more important mission?
Really overwhelmed.
And their two specialties are absolutely not interchangeable. Let Liu Yu go to the court to fight with those old foxes?
No way!
impossible!
He was knocked down with three punches and two kicks!
Not to mention, Liu Yu has always been good at fighting, and that kind of evil-minded errand is not his strong point at all.
It is better to let everyone settle down on the things that each other is good at. This is the serious way of employing people.
As for what happens next, will Liu Yu betray Wang Mi?
Will things continue to develop according to the original path in history?
This is not something Wang Mi wants to consider at this moment. He believes that the situation between the north and the south has changed a lot.
The environment that could prompt Liu Yu to pick up the slack has completely dissipated, and along with it, as long as Wang Mi can stabilize the court, as long as the Beifu soldiers are still in the hands of the Xie family and are nominally the court's troops, Liu Yu will overthrow the army.
Don’t go out to heaven!
"yes!"
"Leave it all to you!" After thinking about it all, Wang Mi sincerely confirmed again.
"But, not now."
However, he immediately counterattacked and Liu Yu, who had just become excited, suddenly felt at ease again.
"When was that?"
Look, you're anxious, aren't you?
Wang Mi is really a considerate person. If he had told Liu Yu about this last night, he would not be able to stand side by side with him now.
Needless to say, you will definitely be tossing and turning in excitement, and you may even faint on the spot.
Of course, Liu Yu's situation is not that good now.
The feeling that you can achieve a great career right before your eyes, that your hope is right in front of you, but it doesn't take long before someone throws cold water on you.
It’s so frustrating!
Even a wise man like Liu Yu was inevitably hit.
"At least, we have to wait until we return to Jiankang before making plans."
"Why bother?"
"Zhiyuan, if you really want to pacify the Central Plains, you might as well start from now, starting here in Yecheng. Although our troops and horses are still insufficient and our weapons are severely consumed, it is not a problem as long as you can return to the city on time.
Kang, when the time comes, all weapons and soldiers will be delivered to me from the south!"
"Why is this so difficult?"
"The most important thing is, the location here in Yecheng is so good. As long as we use this as the starting point, we can naturally capture the important towns in the north, one after another, and take them all!"
"Where is Jiankang?"
"It's south of the river. It's too far away from the north. We finally arrived at the foot of Ye City and captured this city. How can we waste it?"
"Furthermore, we are in Yecheng now, but you want me to follow you back to Jiankang, and then trek a long way to the north to continue the war. How much time is wasted going back and forth!"
"Zhiyuan, you are a sensible person, but you can't do this!"
Liu Yu had a belief in his heart that he just wanted to stay in Yecheng and continue fighting. As he grew up, he was good at this.
Why make him wait?
Anyone who leads troops to fight knows that in fighting, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity. Now, the opportunity is right in front of him, but Wang Mi persuades him to give up temporarily.
How could Liu Yu endure this?
Besides, Liu Yu is still a very self-aware person. He knows nothing about the matters in the court.
What's the use of him returning to Jiankang?
It’s better to stay in Yecheng!
Liu Yu talked a lot. The central idea was that he must not return to Jiankang and must stay in Yecheng to continue fighting.
This was Liu Yu's sincerity, but Wang Mi couldn't satisfy his wish.
"Jinnu, everything you said is right, I have thought of it too."
"But now we really need to go back to Jiankang City. Even if you come back within a few days after we go back, you can."
"Why is this?" Liu Yu's eyes were full of grievance, and his voice changed.
"Of course it's to see what the court wants!"
"Don't forget, we are still under the control of the imperial court, and the Beifu soldiers are still nominally an army of the imperial court."
"We have been out for a long time. Up to now, Yecheng has been captured and we have done everything we need to do. If we don't go back, won't we make the ministers in the court suspicious?"
"It is impossible for others to let us act so recklessly. If nothing else, even if we want to go to the Northern Expedition, we must get the support of the imperial court. Otherwise, where will the people come from and where will the money come from?"
"Right!"
"Ji Nu, you don't think that I, Wang Mi, really have hands and eyes that can reach the sky, do you?"
"omnipotent?"
"Aren't you?" Liu Yu's confused expression made Wang Mi laugh.
"I really didn't expect that I would have such great ability in the eyes of General Liu. Accept it, accept it." Wang Mi leaned forward and saluted Liu Yu.
At this time, Liu Yu's attitude also changed.
Unexpectedly, there were so many obstacles to fighting a war. When Wang Mi mentioned these many issues, he realized that it was really impossible without the support of the imperial court.
Then there's no way.
I can only go back to Jiankang first to have a look.
However, for Liu Yu, there is nothing wrong with going back, and of course it is a good thing. Don't forget, he is a serious Jingkou native.
When you arrive outside Jiankang City, near Jingkou, you can stop briefly to see Tan Pingzhi, who is staying in Beifu to guard, and his family records.
Isn’t it beautiful?
Seeing that Liu Yu did not continue to refute, Wang Mi was relieved.
Along the way, he really couldn't lack Liu Yu's help.
