I think back then, among the many relatives of the Di Qin clan, Fu Pi was very brave and good at fighting, especially his martial arts skills were unparalleled.
When it comes to the ability of a single soldier to fight, Fu Fei is no match for Fu Pi.
But even if this was the case, Fu Pi was wiped out as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. What kind of splash could Fu Fei make?
What's more, his original purpose in controlling Xuzhou was not simple.
At this point, Di Qin was about to be unable to maintain his position, and as a clan member who had been excluded, there seemed to be no need to sacrifice his life.
It seems that it is time to come up with a second plan.
"surrender?"
"Xin Shu, you may have taken me too lightly. Why should I surrender?"
"The location of Xuzhou City is so important. Even though the Jin army was freed from the Battle of Yecheng, it will be exhausted. What should I fear?"
Xin Shu's eyes suddenly lit up: "So, what does the general mean, do we still want to fight?"
It’s okay to fight!
It belongs to men. Who doesn’t want to fight happily on the battlefield and decide the winner from wrong?
"Who said we wanted to fight?"
However, Fu Fei's four short words extinguished the small fire that had just been ignited in Xin Shu's heart.
"But……"
"But since we neither surrender nor fight, General, what can we do?"
There must always be a countermeasure!
The Jin army is now at Qingfeng Gang outside Xuzhou City. When dawn tomorrow, tens of thousands of troops will march to Xuzhou City!
By then, it will be too late to think of anything else!
Seeing how anxious he was, for such an old man, he really didn't feel calm at all. Fu Fei felt helpless when he saw Xin Shu was worried but didn't dare to offend him.
"It's neither war nor surrender. You don't have to worry. When the time comes, I will have my own countermeasures to ensure that Xuzhou City is safe and sound."
Safe and sound?
is it possible?
The Jin army's troops are pressing down on the territory, as if they are sweeping the country. How can such a powerful army withstand the current state of Xuzhou City?
However, Fu Fei looked so calm and composed. He was confident, as if he had already thought of a plan and was waiting to implement it.
is this real?
If Fu Fei really had a plan, why didn't he tell it at the beginning?
If you tell them, the soldiers in the city and the people in Xuzhou City will be safe.
Isn't this bad?
However, Fu Fei obviously didn't think so. Although Xin Shu requested repeatedly, Fu Fei refused to tell him the detailed countermeasures.
[An old book friend who I have known for ten years recommended to me a book-chasing app, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www.yeguoyuedu.com]
It seems that this so-called strategy is not so upright.
All right!
Since the general was unwilling to say anything, Xin Shu stopped asking questions. As a subordinate, he just followed orders.
After a brief commotion, Xuzhou City returned to calm again.
However, General Fu Fei's heart could not calm down no matter what.
Can his plan really be implemented smoothly?
This doesn't seem to be something he can have the final say on. What exactly do the Jin army's generals think?
I heard that the generals leading the Jin army this time are very young and aggressive. If they insist on taking Xuzhou City and refuse to give face to him, an old general, what will Fu Fei do?
Otherwise, he should go and explore the road himself?
Fu Fei had such thoughts in his mind...
Early the next morning, the Jin army entrenched on Qingfeng Post finally woke up from the long night, and several young generals got on horseback.
The weather is nice and the autumn air is crisp.
The blue sky can be seen to the horizon at a glance. There are very few white clouds and a few floating ones are just embellishments in the clear sky.
"Very good!"
"The weather is so good, everything will go well for the army today!" Wang Mi, who was riding a horse, looked up at the sky and sighed.
He Wuji caught up and pretended to look at the sky.
"When did Mr. Wang start to care about the celestial phenomena?"
"It's not like your usual style!"
"What is my usual style?" Wang Mi smiled, especially sincerely, showing his full inquiring mind.
He wanted to hear what these colleagues thought of him on a daily basis.
As a person, he has a basic position for his friends. Since time traveling, Wang Mi has been busy making new weapons and conquering cities and territories. Although he has a few friends, he only focuses on judging their temperaments, but does not pay attention to who these friends are.
What do you think of him?
You should find it strange!
After all, according to his memory and the discussions of Wang Gong and others, he is very different from his former self Wang Mi, or to put it more exaggeratedly, he is simply a completely different person.
Fortunately, the current He Wuji, He Mai, and even Liu Yu and others have not had much contact with the former Wang Mi.
I don’t know much about the original character.
Perhaps, it was precisely because of this reason that Wang Mi could behave in front of them unscrupulously without arousing their suspicion.
In this way, maybe there is something wrong.
Not that no one doubts it.
At least, Liu Laozhi in Jingkou had some doubts. However, Liu Laozhi was concerned about the military power of Beifu. When Wang Mi did not compete with him for power, no matter how strange Wang Mi was, he would not give one more
Eyes.
He's just an idle kid from an aristocratic family.
An embroidered pillow!
This was Liu Laozhi's judgment of Wang Mi at the beginning.
Later, when Wang Mi gradually revealed his ambition for Beifu, Liu Laozhi turned his back on Wang Mi's previous actions and claimed that there was something wrong with his mind.
However, Liu Laozhi was a general after all, and his thoughts were not so delicate. However, his nephew, He Wuji, was different in front of him.
He Wuji is shrewd and wise, this is for sure.
He is also very careful, and in this regard he is much better than the brave Liu Yu. Therefore, given such an opportunity today, Wang Mi certainly does not want to give up.
If He Wuji didn't see any problem, then he would be safe with the other brothers.
At this moment, He Wuji never expected that so many thoughts would be going through Wang Mi's head in such a short period of time.
However, Wang Mi's question is indeed very interesting. The most important thing is that the army is marching very smoothly now, and it will take about an hour to reach Xuzhou City at the fastest.
Now is a good time to chat and relieve boredom.
So, General He really thought about it very seriously.
Mr. Wang, what kind of person is he?
"You are resourceful, brave and fearless, but sometimes a little too timid. You can always make judgments before the enemy makes a move. This is something that not only me but also the slaves admire you for."
"However, sometimes, especially when facing disputes in the court, he appears a little cowardly, or hesitant."
"To tell you the truth, Amai and I have also discussed this matter in private. For example, in the Jiankang court, Wang Gong repeatedly provoked you. If it were us, we would have broken up with him long ago.
But, you still tolerate it step by step and don't care about it with him."
"Honestly, Zhiyuan, don't you hate Wang Gong?"
"Don't want to fight for power with him?"
"In our opinion, you are much more capable than Wang Gong. Moreover, in the past six months, you have led the Beifu soldiers to capture many important towns in the north."
"These achievements have long surpassed those of Huan Xuanwu in the past, but not only did you not raise an issue with the court, but even people like Wang Gong stepped on your head, and you didn't react much."
"Zhiyuan, why is this?"
"You don't really want to be loyal to the Jin Dynasty, just be a loyal minister and a good general!"
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Although He Wuji asked this question, he didn't think so in his heart at all.
If Wang Zhiyuan turned out to be such a pedantic person, He Wuji would not continue to follow him.
Wuji believed in his own vision, he would not see the wrong person.
"Loyal minister and good general?"
"When did I say that?"
Wang Mi looked at He Wuji with a smile on his face.
"Then why are you so tolerant?"
"I might as well tell you that when I return to Jiankang City today, even if you don't make trouble, we brothers will not follow Wang Gong. You have to think clearly!"
Seeing his indignant look, Wang Mi was even amused by him.
"dare you laugh!"
"What's so funny about this?" Seeing that he still refused to give an answer, He Wuji felt even more aggrieved.
"Wuji, I remember that not long ago, when I was in Yecheng, on the night when I was preparing to set off, I told you all my future plans."
"Those are my true words, why do you still ask?"
"Could it be that what I said that day wasn't clear enough?"
clear?
What is clear?
He Wuji's head was filled with questions.
"That day you just said that you would take us to continue the Northern Expedition, but you did not say how to deal with the disputes in the court."
These are all true!
He Wuji is a pragmatic person. He remembers every word of what Wang Mi said last time in his mind, and he dare not forget it.
However, those words, he thought over and over again, were all aimed at the future construction of Beifu soldiers, but they did not mention the battle in the court.
However, it was obvious that things were not peaceful in the Jiankang court. Those incompetent ministers, including Wang Gong, all looked covetously at Beifu and Wang Mi.
If you want to get rid of it, hurry up!
At this time, He Wuji even began to feel sympathy for Huan Wen.
Although this person had a feeling that he failed more than succeeded, but judging from the current situation at that time, he still captured many cities.
In the sparsely populated Jin Dynasty, Huan Wen was already quite accomplished at that time, at least he was a person who was doing things.
Such people who work hard will naturally disdain the provocations of those mediocre people.
And what is the difference between Huan Wen's situation and Wang Mi today?
Others risked their lives in the front to attack the city and hunt for territory, but this group of people was entrenched in the extremely safe Jiankang City, enjoying a carefree life, looking at the distant north, and pointing.
In the past six months, have these ministers in the imperial court done anything to the Beifu soldiers who were fighting everywhere?
Have they expressed support?
They didn't even give an extra military salary to these hard-working soldiers. These days, the Beifu army has been supported by the money Wang Mi swindled from various families, as well as the money raised by the Queen Mother from the harem.
Silver jewelry to maintain.
Imperial court?
Wang Gong?
Don’t even think about it!
Not only did he have no money, He Wuji even suspected that Wang Gong was still thinking about Beifu Bing's money.
What?
Do the Beifu soldiers still have money?
The little money they have is not enough to pay more for the army. The soldiers in Beifu are so poor that there is no spare money.
no no!
Beifu Bing is really rich!
Moreover, the current Beifu is definitely not shabby at all, it is extremely luxurious.
Of course, the Jiankang court cannot know this. If they knew it, they would not open their mouths like a lion!
Where does Beifu's money come from?
Of course they came from those cities captured by the Jin army.
Xiangyang, Nanyang, Yecheng, which one is not a first-class important town in the north, and which one is not a large city with a population of more than 100,000?
Although such a large city has experienced several fierce battles, overall, the Jin army was very economical in fighting.
The buildings in the city did not suffer large-scale damage, and civilians did not suffer too many casualties.
Since the buildings and people are fine, what about their money?
There is no need to doubt, of course it is safe and sound.
Although this kind of safe and sound situation certainly has limitations, for the Beifu soldiers, this is enough.
The Jin army is an army of benevolence and righteousness. It is impossible for them to plunder the people's property in the city. If they do this, they will not be able to gain a foothold in various places.
Wang Mi weighed this point clearly.
However, not wanting the people's money does not mean not wanting the Qin soldiers' assets.
Over the years, Di Qin has controlled these northern towns, and the amount of money they have plundered is not small. Moreover, they have controlled these cities for more than ten years.
The foundation is deep, the search is continuous, there are gains every year, and there are gains every year.
Therefore, in every city, when the Jin army invaded the main city, they would find that there were many warehouses where countless amounts of money looted by Di Qin were piled up.
Gold, silver, treasures, copper coins, and even all kinds of expensive things, including pepper and other items, are all available, and the warehouse is full of grain.
When Wang Mi entered the city and saw such a scene, he would certainly not be polite.
Those who pick and choose, those that can be used as materials for the production of weapons, will of course be taken away. The remaining gold and silver treasures, if they belong to the wealthy army, will of course be sold in front of the people for a benefit and released in a warehouse.
Return all the gold and silver treasures taken by Di Qin to the residents of this city.
However, the Beifu soldiers did not do this.
The main thing is that they really don't have the capital to be so generous.
Beifu soldiers are so poor!
Since the war started, instead of getting richer and richer, they have become poorer and poorer. Who can endure this situation?
What's more, since the imperial court was occupied by Wang Gong, Beifu has received even less support.
In the past, when Sima Yao was still there, he would still give some support to Beifu because it was his own army. Although it was often in arrears and reduced, it was still there after all.
But Wang Gong would not even look at the Beifu soldiers.
In terms of military supplies and fodder, even less help can be provided.
Therefore, when the Beifu soldiers broke into these cities, they could only make a fortune on the spot and take away all the money looted by Di Qin for their own use.
However, Wang Mi also made it clear in the city that Beifu Bingqiu had not violated the people's property, and all they wanted to take were the treasures controlled by Di Qin.
