North of Jiangling City, Baling Mountain, Huan Zhen Camp.
Among the Chinese army commanders, there were only two people, Huan Zhen and Bian Fanzhi. Huan Zhen's face was full of pride, while Bian Fanzhi had a sad look on his face. Huan Zhen looked at Bian Fanzhi's appearance, and the corner of his mouth
He hooked up unhappily: "Old Bian, what's wrong with you? Our army just won a great victory and almost captured He Wuji alive. The Jingba thieves, who have always been indomitable, suffered a big loss this time, but you are like this,
But it seems like we have been defeated. If the soldiers outside see this, it will shake the morale of the army."
Bian Fanzhi shook his head: "It was just a victory for a while. Although the Beifu Army's forward lost nearly half, the main strength was not lost. Now He Wuji's troops and Liu Yi's troops are joining forces in Baling, and they refused again
In response to our request to return Sima Dewen, stop the troops and make peace, Liu Yi and He Wuji even took the initiative to write to the imperial court in Jiankang to bear the responsibility for this defeat and demote themselves. Now Wei Yongzhi led Yuzhou soldiers and horses again
They came to help, but their strength was strengthened. Moreover, Lu Zongzhi also rejected our proposal and continued to advance troops, defeating Wen Kai in the north, and now his troops are also approaching Jiangling."
Huan Zhen sneered and said: "Since we are unwilling to make peace, we can only fight to the end. Although Lu Zongzhi's troops can be called strong soldiers, can they be stronger than the Beifu army? If I can defeat He Wuji, I can
Kill Lu Zongzhi. Lao Bian, just wait and see here, I will go north to kill Lu Zongzhi. If Liu Yi loses foreign aid, then I am afraid he will have to reconsider making peace with us."
Bian Fanzhi frowned deeply: "Apart from these two routes, the situation in Bashu is not good. Mao Chu also recruited 30,000 troops and joined the Liangzhou troops to prepare to go down the river to attack Jiangling. Originally, we thought that we would temporarily
Stabilizing the upper reaches seems impossible now. Even if you defeat Lu Zongzhi, you will probably have another powerful enemy in the west. However, our current plan may require us to make further concessions."
Huan Zhen said in a deep voice: "Everyone else can make peace, except those named Mao. They were the direct murderers of the late Emperor, my uncle, and they used the most despicable and shameless trapping methods. They talked about reconciliation, but they failed.
I took advantage of the late emperor's trouble to kill him. As long as Liu Yi is defeated, the first thing I have to deal with is this bunch of people named Mao. I will kill them all without leaving any one behind!"
Bian Fanzhi said in a deep voice: "Ah Zhen, calm down. A little impatience will mess up a big plan. Although the Mao family's military strength is not strong, the land of Yizhou borders Liangzhou to the north and borders Qiuchi and Hou Qin. As long as we
If we can control Yizhou, we can find a way to lure Qin troops southward. If we have the powerful Later Qin as foreign aid, we can currently resist Liu Yi's crusade. Now the enemies in other directions are secondary, and the number one
The big enemy is still the Eight Bandits of Beijing, and now they are only dealing with Liu Yi and He Wuji. If Liu Yu comes in person, it will only be more troublesome."
Huan Zhen sneered and said: "It's a joke. Our Huan family has been sitting in Jingzhou since our late father. For decades, we have been fighting against the barbarians in the north. Even if we are defeated and destroyed, we will not rely on the power of the barbarians."
From Bao, Lao Bian, in the Jin Dynasty, anyone can cooperate with the Hulu, and even Liu Jingxuan can flee north to the Yan Kingdom, but we surnamed Huan cannot. In my Huan clan, there are only generals who have been beheaded, and no one has surrendered.
Traitor!"
Bian Fanzhi's expression changed, and just as he was about to say something more, Huan Zhen waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Lao Bian, there's no need to say anything more. I'll defeat Lu Zongzhi first, and then come back to deal with Liu Yi. You stay here for me."
Dear Jiangling City, I will definitely return victoriously in half a month at most."
Bian Fanzhi sighed and watched Huan Zhen lift the tent and go out. Soon, he was the only one left in the handsome tent.
Behind the screen, Tao Yuanming, dressed as a sergeant and wearing leather armor, walked slowly out. He looked at the silent Bian Fanzhi and smiled slightly: "Huan Zhen has a fatherly demeanor, and he is at odds with the barbarians. Respecting our ancestors, you are like this."
I'm afraid I made a wrong calculation."
Bian Fanzhi closed his eyes and shook his head: "Actually, from the moment Huan Xuan died, I had lost everything. The fate of Chu's country would also end at that time. In the land of Jingchu, there is so much loyalty.
The Northern Expedition to fight against the Hu can unite people's hearts. The reason why Huan Zhen refused this was because he knew that once he lost the banner of fighting against the Hu, his men would soon disperse."
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Huan Zhen cannot unite with Later Qin, but you, Lord Bian, can. Since you also know that this defeat is irreversible, why not take advantage of the moment to grab Huan Qian and Huan Wei, and take the Sima Dezong brothers to escape?"
In the future, the Qin Dynasty took advantage of Lu Zongzhi's main force to confront Huan Zhen and used Jiangling's soldiers and horses to forcibly attack the Nanyang Basin and enter Guanzhong from Wuguan. Or he threatened to attack Xiangyang but took the road north to Luoyang, which was also the case.
You can enter the territory of the Later Qin Dynasty. As long as Sima Dezong, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, is under the hands of the Later Qin Dynasty, you can use the name of the Jin Emperor to let the Later Qin Dynasty send troops south. Only in this way can you truly save the crisis of Dachu."
Bian Fanzhi said solemnly: "No, this will harm Huan Zhen and make the Huan family truly become the puppets of the Hulu. With Sima Dezong in their hands, what else do they need the Huan family to do? To lure Qin.
The most that soldiers can do to help is to give some money, grain, taxes and taxes as a reward, and even some land can be reluctantly accepted. But if the emperor's status falls into the hands of the Hulu, then the whole Han family in the south will no longer have peace."
Tao Yuanming sneered: "How long have you cared about this? Last time, in order to hold off Liu Yu, I tried my best to get Nan Yan to send troops. Although I didn't succeed, at least I tried my best, and Liu Yu didn't come here either.
, Lao Bian, if you continue to be so pedantic, I'm afraid a disaster will come and I won't be able to save you this time."
Bian Fanzhi shook his head: "I should have gone with the late emperor when he passed away. The reason why I have lived for these few more months is because I still want to support Huan Zhen and avenge him, but now I see
Come, we have tried our best, but the situation is difficult to reverse. I will try my best to defend Jiangling, but you and I both know that once Huan Zhen's army moves north, Liu Yi will definitely attack Jiangling with all his strength. Jiangling City lacks major generals, so it is impossible to resist.
If Jiangling falls, I hope you can persuade Huan Zhen to stop fighting and go back for revenge, and protect the Sima Dezong brothers to escape to the Later Qin Dynasty, so that they can have a chance to fight back in the future."
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "You can't defend Jiangling anymore, how can I take away the Sima Dezong brothers? Before Liu Yi's army arrived, it was impossible for you to get past Huan Qian and the others and hand them over to me. This
I really can't help you with this time, so you'd better ask Huan Qian and He Danzhi."
