Wang Gong's expression changed: "Is it really so urgent?"
Before he finished speaking, there was suddenly a burst of urgent footsteps outside the tea room. Wang Gong frowned: "Didn't you see that I am discussing something with the distinguished guest? Why don't you step back?"
A servant knelt down at the door and whispered: "I just received the news that Xiangyang has been lost. Your Majesty summoned the young master to the palace for urgent discussion!"
The tea bowl that Huan Xuan had just picked up fell to the ground with a clatter, and the tea soup splashed everywhere, staining his fine satin clothes into a mess, but he didn't notice it at all and murmured: "It seems that I
It’s time to go back to Jingzhou.”
Chang'an, Liangyi Palace.
Fu Jian was in a good mood. It was rare to see him laughing like this since Wang Meng's death. The whole palace was echoing with his laughter. It's just that this laughter now only left a few guards and palace slaves.
Fu Rong, who was sitting opposite him, could hear him. Since Wang Meng's death, Fu Rong had inherited the position of his teacher and became Fu Jian's first person to discuss state affairs.
Fu Jian held a Tang newspaper in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, it's really good. Murong Chui is really powerful. The inner city of Xiangyang was still breached by him. From the beginning to the end, Huan Chong's 100,000 troops didn't dare to
Come to rescue, Ah Rong (Fu Rong is Fu Jian's younger brother, he is not called by his official name in private, but is called by his family), do you still object to me sending Murong Chui to attack Xiangyang?"
Fu Rong sighed and shook his head: "Brother Wang, this is what I am afraid of. Xiangyang is just a border city, and the Jin Kingdom did not use its full strength. This time we attacked with the Xianbei soldiers as the vanguard. The victory is not satisfactory.
, My brother, I still want to remind you, never forget the Prime Minister’s last words, and you must never go to war with the Jin Kingdom!"
A trace of unhappiness flashed across Fu Jian's face: "Things will change. At that time, Jinglue said that he could not go to full-scale war with the Jin State. He meant that the kings and ministers of the Jin State were united and united as one, and we had no chance to take advantage of it. But judging from this war,
, Jin is not as powerful as he said. There are already problems within them."
Fu Rong's heart suddenly sank, and he said seriously: "Brother Wang, it is dangerous for you to think like this. Huan Chong is holding back this time because he is afraid of the strength of our army. Apart from losing Xiangyang, he has not suffered any losses.
, it is even possible that he wanted to lure our troops deep into the Gangneung area with dense water nets, and launch a defensive counterattack. It cannot be said that there is an internal problem."
Fu Jian sighed: "Ah Rong, don't be stubborn. Jingzhou is facing a war, and the court in Jiangdong did not send a single soldier to rescue. Is this normal? If our Luoyang is attacked, then our Chang'an here, and Ye in Hebei
Will the city send troops to rescue us?"
Fu Rong shook his head: "That's because Jingzhou is a vassal town of the Huan family, and they won't ask the court to send troops there. After all, it's easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. Besides, we are also attacking in Huaibei this time, and Jin has no
Even the nationwide mobilization and their standing military strength cannot rescue Jingzhou."
Fu Jian nodded with satisfaction: "This is the second thing that makes Gu happy. Not only did he capture Xiangyang this time, he also captured the entire Huaibei. Mao Anzhi's 40,000-strong army collapsed without a fight, and Pengcheng also fell.
In our hands, Gu was originally worried about two things. One was that the two war zones in Jingzhou and Jin could support each other, and the other was that Yangzhou soldiers also had strong combat effectiveness. But now it seems that the Jin army in Yangzhou is far inferior to
The Huan family troops in Jingzhou were almost defeated at the first touch. Even Xie Xuan's newly trained army did not dare to go into battle, so what should we worry about?"
Fu Rong curled his lips: "I heard that the Beifu soldiers were formed by the subordinates of the refugee commanders from the Huaihe and Lianghuai areas. These people have very strong fighting ability and are by no means ordinary people. Xie Xuan has been standing still. This is what makes him so proud.
People are vigilant, Brother Wang must not be careless."
Fu Jian waved his hand disdainfully: "If the Beifu soldiers are so strong, why aren't they dispatched? Besides, isn't Tian Luo who was guarding San'a also a Beifu soldier? Didn't he surround us and almost lose his life? In the end, it depends on Xie Xuan
He was rescued by bluffing. These refugee commanders are just the fort masters and bandits in the Lianghuai area. They are no different from the Dingling people we put in the south. Don't think about how powerful they are. Really.
If it's so powerful, why haven't you dared to take action for so long?"
Fu Rong shook his head: "I don't know, my brother, but since the founding of the Jin Kingdom, these refugee commanders have been very good at fighting. From Zu Ti to Su Jun, to Wang Dun and others, haven't they all relied on these refugees to achieve success?
"
Fu Jian laughed and waved his hand: "How many years ago was that? During the Eight Kings Rebellion at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains experienced many years of war. The ordinary people who survived were very capable of fighting. These refugees were organized
, heading south collectively, they are indeed elite soldiers and strong generals."
"But what about now? Since the fall of Ran Wei, the north has been basically peaceful. There has been no major war for many years, and the people have begun to live and work in peace and contentment. Why do they need to rely on fighting every day to survive? So those so-called Lianghuai people commanders, but
They are just remnants of defeated soldiers from twenty or thirty years ago, and the people under them are not the sergeants back then, but their nephews and even grandchildren. These people usually work as farmers, but in times of famine, they go into the mountains to become bandits and fight against the enemy.
The name of the refugee commander is just a lie, how can he be worthy of a frontal attack from my Great Qin cavalry?!"
Fu Rong was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "Brother Wang, you must not underestimate the enemy. The Jin State does not have general mobilization now. If our army really presses the border, we will definitely be beaten in the country. We will go deep into the water in the south."
If we fight in an area where we are not acclimatized to the climate and the epidemic is prevalent, we will suffer big losses!"
Fu Jian frowned: "What you said makes sense, but this time I asked Peng Chao and Ju Nan to lead Yanzhou soldiers and horses southward, just to fight in the Lianghuai area. Now Huaibei is in my hands, and
The Second General's headquarters has not encountered any serious epidemic. Next, I will let them continue southward. If they can adapt to the Huainan area, then there will be no problem. Then they can use their Yanzhou troops as the vanguard.
, we will raise more troops to follow up, and by the time we drink the Yangtze River, it will be too late for Jin to mobilize the whole country. "
At this point, Fu Jian laughed: "Besides, there are internal disputes in Jin State. Sima Yao wants to take back the imperial power and make his younger brother Sima Daozi the prime minister to share the power of Xie An, while Xie An lives in seclusion.
Bao. After Sima Daozi came to power, he did not go to rescue Jingzhou. I heard that he was surrounded by a bunch of treacherous ministers and sycophants. Headed by Wang Guobao, he drank and sang every day, drunk and dreaming. This is the same as what the Sun family did before the fall of Wu.
What's the difference? God has given us such a good opportunity. If we don't seize it, we will regret it forever!"
At this point, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his expression became resolute: "I have made my decision. I will worship the captured Xiangyang guard Zhu Xu as the Minister of Duzhi. The attacking Xiangyang troops will rest on the spot and wait for further orders.
Peng Chao's troops continue to march towards Huainan, the target is Shouchun!"
