Obviously, on the battlefield, Liu Yu's martial arts can rule the roost, but in terms of brains, Wang Mi is better.
In addition, it is unclear where Wang Mi got the formula for those new weapons with strange shapes.
He actually had such huge fighting power and led the Beifu soldiers, who originally had mediocre fighting power, to win consecutive battles.
It can be said that without these new weapons, even if Liu Yu was good at fighting, he might not have been able to capture so many important military towns in a short period of time.
Not to mention Yecheng, the hinterland of the north!
Therefore, under such psychological command, Liu Yu became more convinced and dependent on Wang Mi.
There is nothing more precious to a general than having such a shrewd mind commanding an army to fight.
Then, Wang Mi handed over the responsibility of the Northern Expedition to Liu Yu.
Boiling hot, spicy.
Liu Yu was in an excited mood. Of course he wanted to take on this job, and he knew that he would definitely succeed.
However, it has to be said that this task is still too difficult for Liu Yu now. This does not mean that Liu Yu is timid.
In other words, Liu Yu's combat effectiveness is poor because he is not confident enough in his strategy.
After all, these current victories were all due to Wang Mi's wise command and the final victory was achieved.
And putting these arduous tasks in the hands of Liu Yu, frankly speaking, if Liu Yu was just starting out and coming out of the small town of Jingkou, he might still be confident.
But today, after Liu Yuzhen repeatedly fought on the battlefield, it was difficult for him to say such big words.
War is really no joke, nor is it a place where victory can be won by bragging.
It's hard to win, but it's even harder to win beautifully.
Obviously, for the current Liu Yu, his strength may only be able to support him to win every game. It depends on the strength of the opponent.
But it is not easy to win beautifully.
However, Wang Mi's plan is very clear and very reasonable.
The Beifu soldiers have developed to this extent, and they really can no longer let themselves go. It's time to have a showdown with the ministers in the court.
How to fight for their own rights and interests is not only a matter of life and death for several young generals who started their careers in Jingkou, but also a major issue concerning the future direction of the entire Beifu Army.
Don't make any mistakes.
Obviously, compared to Liu Yu and others, it is more suitable for someone like Wang Mi, who is a member of a top family and has a deep foundation in the court, to do this.
Therefore, Liu Yu had no choice but to accept the model of division of labor and cooperation with Wang Mi.
Why!
I really hope that Wang Mi can lead everyone to continue the battle, so that everyone can feel more at ease.
But now it seems that it is impossible.
Even if the matters in the court were resolved, there were still more things waiting for Wang Mi. The announcement made in Yecheng that day made it clear that Wang Mi did not intend to participate in the upcoming journey.
This is a huge blow to everyone in Beifu.
Finally able to embark on the journey back home, those ignorant soldiers were still unaware of all this and marched briskly towards their hometown.
On the other hand, Liu Yu, He Mai and others were not in such a happy mood.
There is even a bit of bitterness.
However, everyone's worries are not the same.
For Liu Yu, his pain was obvious. He not only hoped to achieve greater achievements, but also hoped that Wang Mi would not leave Beifu so suddenly.
Without Wang Mi to protect me, I always feel uneasy in my heart.
For He Mai, who has always been serious, his troubles come from other places.
Compared to the Beifu soldiers, he was more worried about the situation in the court.
Waves and clouds are so weird!
Can Wang Mi handle it alone?
Of course He Wuji will also help, that's for sure, but for Wuji, the help he can provide is also limited.
Fundamentally speaking, his ability to ascend to the court relied on Wang Mi's recommendation.
As for He Mai, the most powerful leg behind him is his uncle Liu Laozhi. With Beifu's successive victories, he was originally more senior, what would be in the mind of General Liu Laozhi who was in charge of Beifu?
Not sure!
When the time comes, it will be considered a kindness for General Liu not to hinder everyone. Do you still expect him to support everyone in Beifu?
Furthermore, I think back then, Liu Laozhi was able to gain a firm foothold in Beifuzhong because of Xie Xuan's respect.
Now, Xie Xuan has handed over power to Wang Mi. Although Xie Xuan did not personally handle this matter, it is obvious that Xie Xuan agreed to Wang Mi marrying his daughter, which means that he acquiesced to such a plan.
If Liu Laozhi could succeed Xie Xuan back then, it would be somewhat possible to expect him to provide support to He Wuji.
But now, it would be good if he doesn't fight among himself.
And those people in the court who are watching eagerly cannot be ignored.
They were already very dissatisfied and full of doubts about the appointment of a member of a noble family like Wang Mi as a general in Beifu, but at the beginning, they had been waiting and watching.
After all, the soldiers of Beifu at that time were not so brave and did not have so many victories. Many ministers looked at Wang Mi's leadership of the army with the purpose of watching it as a joke.
Look at how this white-faced scholar has brought so much shame to the Langya Wang family, that's what they think.
They lowered their heads, pricked their ears, and squinted their eyes, waiting for the news of Wang Mi's defeat, hoping to see him return to the Jiankang court in disgrace.
In this way, the chain of discrimination of children from aristocratic families who are not good at leading troops and look down on warriors can continue and be worshiped by future generations.
However, Wang Mi refused to let these people get their wish.
Not only did he return in triumph, but he also returned to the court with great victories again and again.
Such achievements, let alone the dynasty, had never achieved such achievements, even from the time of Shang Shuo to Huan Xuanwu, Huan Wen, who brought an unprecedented crisis to the Jin Dynasty, had never achieved such achievements.
And what about Wang Mi?
Now he has not shown any signs of rebellion and is still fighting for the Jin Dynasty wholeheartedly. This is even more abnormal!
Either Wang Mi is secretly harboring evil intentions, or his mind is abnormal. It must be one of the two.
None of the ministers in the court wanted to share some of Wang Mi's burdens, but instead waited to give him a heavy blow.
They were just waiting for him to return to Jiankang!
When the time comes, hum…
There is absolutely no chance that he, Wang Zhiyuan, can enjoy the good fruit!
As Wang Mi's best friend, He Wuji was a person who followed the court route, and Wang Mi's judgment of him was extremely accurate.
Compared with Liu Yu, Tan Pingzhi and He Wuji who only think about fighting all day long, their minds are much more complicated.
Of course, I am a doctor who has been a doctor of Guozi. Although I bought my place, I still have some knowledge.
For Wang Mi, the disputes within Beifu were not actually a huge threat. On the contrary, the overt and covert attacks of the court masters were even more terrifying.
However, to be honest, He Wuji didn't have a clear idea on how to deal with these crises.
It seems that the big idea needs to be planned by Wang Mi himself.
He Wuji could just help from the side.
Along the way, the most excited person was Wei Yongzhi.
Unlike others, this was his first time to officially set foot on the battlefield. Regardless of whether the battle was won or not, the excitement of setting foot on the battlefield was unparalleled.
What's more, they also achieved an unprecedented victory!
They captured Yecheng!
Before that, Yecheng had disappeared from the territory of the Jin Dynasty for decades!
Today, it was their young and brave men from Beifu who took back the city, and Wei Yongzhi was one of them.
His pride could not be greater!
Others have achieved enough merits, but Wei Yongzhi is basically still a bare commander, with no military exploits, no gold and silver treasures, let alone a title.
However, after returning to Jiankang, all these will be available.
Although he had also heard that this time the Beifu soldiers returned to Jiankang, the situation might not be clear, and the court's attitude towards them was very subtle.
However, Wei Yongzhi is still very confident about his future.
After all, others are ostracized only after they have made great achievements in battle, but he, Wei Yongzhi, has nothing yet!
No matter how stingy the court was, they wouldn't reward him with nothing.
With this expectation, Wei Yongzhi embarked on his return journey.
If everyone had Wei Yongzhi's mentality, I'm afraid the Beifu soldiers would be much more powerful today.
such a pity!
The most realistic crisis before everyone in Beifu is not from the distant Jiankang City, but from another important town in Jiangbei dozens of miles away.
Xuzhou!
Cao Aguo has something to say, Xuzhou is all mine!
be mine!
Since ancient times, Xuzhou has been the focus of contention between the north and the south. It is said that whoever wins Xuzhou will win the world, or at least compete for the world.
And who controls Xuzhou, such a military town now?
There is no doubt that it is still Di Qin!
After all, Di Qin has controlled the north for more than ten years and has a deep foundation. It will not collapse instantly just because of the collapse of Chang'an City.
For example, an important town like Xuzhou is still in the hands of Di Qin. This is unmistakable.
At that time, when they marched all the way from Jingkou to Yecheng, they had already understood the situation nearby.
There is no doubt that Di Qin is in control of Xuzhou.
Even the name of the guard general was obtained. This person was none other than Fu Fei, the general of Di Qin.
This person was not particularly well-known among Di Qin's generals in the past, and his status in the family was not as high as that of Fu Pi and others.
He is just a nephew of Fu Jian, but it is this identity that further highlights Fu Fei's uniqueness.
Although he is not from an outstanding background, he has landed in an important town like Xuzhou. What does this mean?
This just shows that Fu Fei is not a simple person!
Definitely quite capable!
And such a person is now guarding Xuzhou. It can be said that for the Jin army, this is a more dangerous opponent than Fu Pi.
There is no need to make too many guesses. Before encountering Fu Fei, Fu Pi was of course the Jin army's number one enemy, but haven't they already beheaded him now?
In fact, his head is now being stored in the ranks of the Jin army!
Waiting to bring it back to Jiankang and show it to the ministers.
Because Fu Pi is dead, Fu Fei has certainly become a more dangerous existence.
How to deal with him, Wang Mi, whom everyone is counting on, doesn't have a clear plan yet.
Although Liu Yu and the others thought that someone had already figured it out, in fact, he was also worried.
The brothers of the Jin army had long been waiting for the order to rest where they were. Now that they heard the general's words, they immediately jumped for joy and immediately dispersed and set up tents and other items.
Wang Mi sat in the military tent, calmly watching everything in front of him. The busier the soldiers were, the less calm he felt.
We must bring these brothers back to Jiankang!
This is his mission!
It is also his responsibility!
But...all this is not easy.
If you want to return to Jingkou, you must pass through Xuzhou!
Because Xuzhou is the choke point into Yangzhou, and only after passing through Yangzhou can you reach Jingkou, and these lines are all connected.
Without passing Xuzhou, the army would not be able to reach the areas controlled by the Jin Dynasty.
You can't even reach the gate of Yangzhou, let alone Jingkou further south.
Therefore, Xuzhou had to enter.
However, once entering Xuzhou territory, a fierce battle may be unavoidable. If this is the case, then the Jin army will be passive.
It's not that their combat effectiveness is not strong, nor that the morale of the soldiers is not strong. It's just that the conditions don't allow it.
One is that the army has just experienced a desperate battle in Yecheng, and the soldiers who can survive now are extremely lucky.
It was also extremely tiring.
These soldiers had been away from Jingkou for more than a month and were crazy about their homes. Now that the army had won, all their minds were focused on returning home.
Letting them fight, to be honest, is a bit difficult.
I have long since lost the faith to continue fighting. How can I still pick up a gun?
What's more, the current situation of the Jin army is not very good. On the one hand, it is the urging of the imperial court, although Wang Mi has sent a letter to suspend the march.
However, it still takes a lot of time to go back and forth to Jingkou, and the court's decision cannot be obtained.
On the other hand, the consumption of ammunition also hampered the Jin army.
Not only gunpowder, but also new weapons such as artillery, and even traditional weapons, bows and arrows, long knives, etc., were all severely damaged after a war and were unable to cope with another war.
This is one of the reasons why Wang Mi also advocated returning to Jiankang from Yecheng as soon as possible.
There is no reserve, there is nothing left!
Beifu soldiers are in urgent need of replenishment!
However, many brothers in the army are still unaware of this current situation, and may still think that they can still easily deal with enemies of all sizes along the way.
As a general, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Wang Mi would certainly not tell them these things. Maintaining strong morale was the most important thing.
However, if there are really variables in Xuzhou, then the Jin army will be in danger!
"what can we do about it?"
"Should we find a group of people to kidnap Fu Fei first?"
"It's okay to kill him."
Wang Mi was sitting in the military tent, muttering to himself, and at this time, He Wuji opened the tent and came in.
"General Wang, what are you talking about?"
"Still worried about Xuzhou's defender?"
After all, He Wuji understood Wang Mi best, and he guessed what he was thinking right away. Wang Mi was not the kind of person to nudge Nini.
Now that I have been guessed, there is no need to hide it anymore.
