"Therefore, it is impossible for Wang Gong to give me more time to fully mature my wings, completely control Beifu, and have great military achievements. If he can wait until that time, there will be nothing left for him, and he can withdraw automatically."
"He must eradicate me before my power becomes too great to control. He must suppress me completely so that I can no longer flutter."
"Now is the best opportunity. If we lose this opportunity, maybe Wang Gong will no longer be able to control me."
"Of course he won't give up. He would rather harm the interests of the imperial court than lose those important northern towns that were finally captured. He also wants to pull me down." Wang Mi's voice was shallow, but he revealed infinite sorrow.

"I didn't expect that Wang Aning's thoughts would be so vicious!" He Wuji clenched his fists and said bitterly.
After these several confrontations, He Wuji certainly knew that Wang Gong was not a good person, but he did not expect that Wang Gong could be so vicious.
For his own selfish gain, he was able to put aside the interests of the imperial court and the military exploits of the Beifu soldiers.
Such a minister, no matter how capable he is, will definitely not be able to last for a long time.
"But Wuji, you don't have to worry, I won't let him succeed!"
"What mistakes have we Beifu soldiers made so far?"
"Is there a problem with you or with me?"
"I think that since I led the Beifu soldiers to conquer the north, I have never made any mistakes or disobeyed the imperial court's orders."
"What reason does Wang Gong have to punish me?"
Although what Wang Mi said was reasonable, He Wuji still expressed doubts.
He sneered and said: "Zhiyuan, it's too easy to punish you. Just find any excuse. There are so many people in the court who can't stand you. One by one, they can't be found when doing practical things.
The human figures are always capable when they frame Zhongliang."
"Don't underestimate them."
Speaking of this, He Wuji was quite disdainful.
Apart from causing chaos, this group of people did not provide any support to the Beifu soldiers.
If you don't want to take care of it, you can just ignore it and let the Beifu soldiers go and expand the territory on their own. Unfortunately, while others are charging ahead, they are dragging their feet behind.
These people are so disgusting!
"Wuji, what you said makes sense, but I think that as long as we draw the army to Jiankang, Wang Gong and the others will defeat themselves without attacking."
"Think about it, does Wang Gong have any cruel tricks he can use?"
"Who will help him?"
"Currently, the most powerful army in the Jin Dynasty is our Beifu soldiers. He cannot intervene in this army."
"Furthermore, there are the Jingzhou soldiers. The commander-in-chief of Jingzhou, Huan Chong, currently has a good relationship with us. Moreover, even when the relationship between the two parties was tense at the beginning, Huan Chong would not necessarily send troops if the court needed it, let alone today."
"Except for these two main armies, the remaining soldiers entrenched in various places have a combined combat effectiveness that is not as good as that of Beifu."
"I think I know this, and Wang Gong has a rough idea."
Why do you say roughly?
With Wang Gong's current performance, I wonder if he really knows what he is doing. These children from aristocratic families have never set foot on a battlefield. Although they know that the war is tragic, they don't have an intuitive feeling.
Maybe you thought that just a random army could compete with the battle-hardened Beifu soldiers!
"The troops in Jiankang City are simply not enough to fight against the Beifu soldiers. If Wang Gong had any brains and saw that I was not trying to cause trouble, he should have known that enough is enough and maintaining peace is the most important thing."
"If he had that kind of vision, how could he still cause such trouble?"
This time, what He Wuji said was on point.
This is what Wang Mi is most worried about when he returns to Jiankang this time. Wang Gong's mind is really not the kind to be clear. Wang Mi has already locked in the Northern Expedition. At this critical moment, he does not want to waste the good opportunity to quarrel with Wang Gong.
But if Wang Gong himself is afraid of hitting the south wall, who can stop him?
"In short, Wuji, when we return to Jiankang this time, we only need to be sure of one sentence: we will not cause trouble, and we are not afraid of trouble, that's it!"
"Since you are confident, I didn't say anything. Naturally, I will do my best to help you, and none of our brothers said anything!" He Wuji promised, patting his chest.
In fact, this is what they want.
As long as Wang Mi can point out the specific direction for the future to everyone, they will have a goal to strive for.
The reason why various conflicts occurred before was because everyone was not very clear about the specific goal of struggle.
There was no common direction of struggle. This time, Wang Mi had already reached this point and there was no longer any hesitation.
"good!"
"As long as we brothers are of the same mind, there will be no obstacle that we cannot overcome!" At this time, as an ambitious and far-sighted general, he would come out and say a few words.
So, whether the brothers can work together as a team depends on the performance in Xuzhou City today.
oh!
correct!
Almost forgot.
Before returning to the south and reaching a safe zone, there was another Xuzhou City standing in front of the Beifu soldiers.
This city is where their real trouble lies.
It's coming today and there's no way to avoid it.
what to do?
What else can be done?
Can I pass through Xuzhou City safely?
Various thoughts came and went in Wang Mi's heart, but whether he could pass it or not was not something he could decide alone.
There is another person who can also influence the overall situation of Xuzhou.
That is Fu Fei!
And what is this person doing now?
The army marched for about half an hour, and the city of Xuzhou was in sight, and the current situation really made Wang Mi feel uneasy.
"This is so peaceful!"
"Xie Xiang, was this the way it was around here when you came here?"
The road along which the army marched was not deserted. There were merchants coming and going, and there were also some simple villagers dressed in simple clothes, firewood collectors, and shop pickers. There were everyone there.
Seeing the army advancing, people took the initiative to move to both sides, which was very orderly.
Aren't they panicking?
Why is it so natural?
Wang Mi was full of doubts. He could only ask Xie Xiang, who had experienced it, to explain this matter.
And Xie Xiang also appeared beside Wang Mi at the right time.
"Indeed, that's what it is."
"That's why I said that the city of Xuzhou is peaceful and there is nothing unusual at all, let alone preparations for war."
Although Xie Xiang indeed said this, it still cannot be believed without verifying it with one's own eyes.
But now, when Wang Mi saw these things with his own eyes, his confusion not only did not lessen, but became even stronger.
This is too strange!
Could it be that Fu Fei in Xuzhou City is really not prepared to flutter a few more times?
"Ying it!"
"come here!"
When Wei Yongzhi heard the shout, he immediately rode forward without missing a moment.
"Order your soldiers to be prepared and not to slack off. We don't understand the situation in Xuzhou City yet, so we must not be attacked by them!"
"yes!"
"Subordinates take orders!"
"Will there really be a sneak attack?" After Wei Yongzhi left, Xie Xiang approached Wang Mi again. Wang Mi looked at the meandering army in front of him and muttered: "At present, it is impossible to say, but in advance,
It’s always good to be prepared.”
It turned out to be to prepare in advance, Xie Tao understood.
In fact, according to his idea, there was no need to do this at all. Wang Mi was making a fuss out of a molehill.
He passed all the way from Jiankang City to Xuzhou and delivered the news to them. Moreover, he not only wandered outside Xuzhou City, but actually stayed in Xuzhou City for a period of time.
He knows the situation in Xuzhou City best.
The scene in front of him was almost the same as the scene when he passed by Xuzhou City, and there was not much change.
People in the city live an orderly life, and basically there is no impact at all.
There are even several merchants from the Baekje Kingdom. In such a peaceful and prosperous city, if you say that it is always ready to fight, or even fight to the death with the Jin army, you don’t know whether these Jin army brothers believe it now.
Even the little kid Xie Tao definitely didn’t believe it.
impossible!
Only one day had passed since Xie Xiang came out of Xuzhou City and delivered the news to Wang Mi.
It is certain that the situation in the city should not have changed much.
Since the city of Xuzhou is unprepared, there is no need for the Jin army to be too nervous. The army has been marching. After last night's rest, it now has high morale and extremely strong combat effectiveness.
The Di Qin soldiers in Xuzhou City must have received news of the fall of Yecheng long ago, and the fighting power of those people is not something to be afraid of.
There is no match for the powerful Beifu soldiers.
However, Xie Xiang also understood Wang Mi's concerns and expressed support for his arrangement.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, of course you cannot just watch an uncertain situation unfold before you without making any preparations.
There is nothing wrong with preparing first.
The army moves and stops. The closer it is to Xuzhou, the slower the army moves. It is necessary to observe the situation and not move too fast, otherwise Di Qin will seize the opportunity.
But what about the people of Di Qin?
There really isn’t one!
Since Wei Yongzhi received the order, Wang Mi has not been idle at all.
He has been paying attention to the situation on the road ahead. In his eyes, it is not only the situation on the road that needs attention, but also the pedestrians on the road, those who evade when they see the Beifu army, or lower their heads and remain motionless.
Need most attention.
There must be Di Qin's spies here!
Eyeliner is also a must.
They will definitely collect the actions of the Beifu army one by one and send them to Fu Fei's hands at a speed that even exceeds Wang Mi's imagination.
Wang Mi had no doubt that such a thing would happen. Among the tens of thousands of troops now, Beifu soldiers were not the only ones. Their composition was extremely complex.
A large number of soldiers surrendered by Di and Qin were mixed with the army of Beifu. Many of these people were unconvinced by the Jin army.
Most of the defenders in Xuzhou City were Di people, so they naturally had good connections with these surrendered troops.
There is no doubt that these prisoners will reveal information to the Qin soldiers in the city.
But, why not?
Since joining the army, Wang Mi has been very confident in his vision.
Among tens of thousands of people, he can also distinguish the good and evil of this person at a glance. He has had a lot of such experience.
However, when the army passed by these innocent-looking pedestrians, Wang Mi noticed their expressions.
From the eyes, to the corners of the mouth, and even the hair, nothing was spared.
However, nothing was discovered.
These people are doing business, and their goods look very normal.
It seemed that he was not making a living, and his walking pace was very steady and not very fast. He seemed to be going out of town and walking normally.
There is absolutely no cunning intention.
So, where is Fu Fei's eyeliner?
Could it be that, as Xie Xiang and others said, Xuzhou has become an undefended city?
No way!
This is impossible!
Although Wang Mi also expected this in his heart, he knew very well that ideals are ideals and reality is reality.
If reality can develop like the ideal ideal state, then Wang Mi will no longer be a little time traveler, but a god.
The development of any matter must be based on my subjective thoughts without any violation.
This is right!
However, it is a pity that although the ideal is beautiful, Wang Mi is still just a small time traveler and cannot control the future.
Even Fu Fei in Xuzhou City might not be under his control.
What else could he do?
All we can do is follow suit and be cautious.
The longer he didn't find anything, the more nervous he became.
He always felt that right in front of him, there were countless fish that slipped through the net, and they were constantly sending news about the Jin army to Fu Fei's ears.
But, so what if you know?
At worst, let’s start fighting!
At the critical moment, many of Wang Mi's ideas were no longer so simple.
In the past, he often thought about things with good intentions, although he also plotted against others and used conspiracies.
However, generally speaking, it is all to protect one's own interests, not to specifically frame others.
Only in this aspect, he is essentially different from the petty and incompetent Wang Gong.
But now he doesn't plan to continue like this.
The situation in Jiankang City is unclear, and Wang Mi cannot tell what kind of outcome will happen if he returns with tens of thousands of troops.
Wang Gong kept saying that he would line up outside the city gate to greet him. Who knew whether what he said was true or false?
Maybe, there might be a team of soldiers equipped with weapons and weapons waiting for them by then.
If you need to stay in Jingkou, Wang Mi has already written a letter to Xie An and sent it to him.
Considering that Xie Xiang was really young, he hired a reliable person to deliver the letter to Jiankang City, and also reported that he was safe. Of course, this included Xie Xiang.
Wang Mi would never forget him, and Xie An would also be concerned about Xie Xiang's safety. Telling him earlier would be a way of comforting the old man.
As a result, Wang Mi now has more choices and can think more freely.
Who cares!
You can stop at Jingkou, or you can go to Jiankang. Anyway, after this great victory, Beifu will not get any benefits.
It would be better to just fight head-on in the not-too-distant north.
If the Jiankang court was not a good person, then he would not go back!
The Jiankang court didn't want to see him anyway, and with Wang Gong holding him back, he wouldn't get any good results.
The final result is nothing more than different paths leading to the same destination.
As long as it makes Wang Gong unhappy, he doesn't care whether he wins or loses.
