Fu Jian asked curiously: "Why are you preparing to retreat? Now that the two armies are facing each other, retreating in front of the enemy is a taboo for military strategists."
Zhu Xu smiled and said: "So you have to bluff and pretend to be out for a decisive battle. This will deceive us and make us focus on fighting instead of pursuing."
Fu Jian nodded thoughtfully: "There is another method, but I still find it a bit strange."
Fu Rong smiled and said: "Yes, it sounds unreasonable. Shouchun was basically lost when the Beifu Army was dispatched. If we want to retreat, why bother? Wouldn't it be better to retreat directly from Guangling to Jiangnan?"
Zhu Xu shook his head: "From a military perspective, this should be the case, but considering the complex political struggle in Jin, it is not that simple."
Fu Jian suddenly became interested: "Oh, what political struggle? Please tell me in detail!"
Zhu Xu smiled slightly: "We all know that there are many internal contradictions in the Jin State. The emperor of the Sima family has always been just a puppet and has no real power. The power of Jiankang City is in the hands of the aristocratic family, while the power of Jingzhou is exclusively owned by the Huan family.
Yes, the contradiction between Jing and Yang has been running through the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years. Up to now, the court in Jiankang City also regards the threat of the Huan family as greater than that of our Da Qin. A while ago, Xie An refused the three thousand reinforcements sent by the Huan family to Jiankang.
It can be proven."
Fu Jian nodded with satisfaction: "But now our army is pressing down on the border, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty is approaching a disaster. At this time, don't you forget about internal fighting? It seems that although the two major theaters are fighting separately, they will not undermine each other."
Zhu Xu shook his head: "Those are just superficial phenomena. Although they are fighting each other, at least the Jingyang conflict has been put aside for the time being. But when I say there are many conflicts, I don't mean the conflicts between the two war zones, but Jiankang City."
The internal conflicts within the aristocratic family."
Fu Jian suddenly became interested: "Oh, is there any discord among the aristocratic families headed by the Wang family and the Xie family?"
Murong Chui suddenly said: "King of Heaven, Zhu Shangshu is right. According to Murong Lan's secret report, the Xie family will hold the Wu Yi Meeting in Guangling City this year. At this meeting..."
Fu Jian suddenly interrupted Murong Chui: "Wait a minute, what is the meeting in black clothes?"
Fu Rong said on the side: "King of Heaven, this gathering of black clothes is a family gathering held once a year by the Xie family. The sons and nephews of the clan are allowed to sing poems and compose poems, or talk about mysteries in order to show off their talents. Of course,
At this gathering of black robes, some high-ranking families who have good relations with the Xie family will also be invited. In recent years, as Xie An has been the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty for many years, this gathering of black robes has also become an annual gathering of high-ranking families.
It’s a gathering at the door.”
Fu Jian nodded, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes: "By the way, General Murong, is the Murong Lan you are talking about the female spy who helped our army capture Shouchun and has been undercover in Jin for many years?"
An imperceptible look flashed across Murong Chui's face, which disappeared in an instant, and turned to smile: "It is this person who is going to Jin camp this time, and she is also Zhu Shangshu's deputy envoy. She took the opportunity to visit Jin camp.
There are a lot of rumors spread about the strength of our army, and the panic Zhu Shangshu saw in the Jin camp is also due to her!"
Fu Jian laughed loudly: "Such heroines are really worthy of being commended in front of their faces. Come, Xuan Murong Lan comes in to see you!"
Murong Chui shouted out almost instinctively: "No way, King of Heaven!"
Fu Jian's expression changed slightly and he looked at Murong Chui: "Why not?"
Murong Chui stood up and saluted solemnly: "King of Heaven, the army has always needed the masculinity of men. The yin nature of women is not suitable for existence in the military camp from the perspective of military art. If Murong Lan didn't have a special mission,
, she shouldn’t have appeared in the camp. Now that her mission has ended and the decisive battle is imminent, it’s time to leave the camp. The King of Heaven is the commander-in-chief of an army. At this time, it would be unlucky to see a woman!"
Fu Jian frowned: "What's so unlucky about this? General Murong, you and I are both barbarians. We don't have a bunch of incomprehensible rules like the Han people. Women from our Di tribe and you Xianbei people can mount a horse, hold a bow, and control the string.
You can also go into battle. What is Yin Qi and Yang Qi? If you want to talk about Yin Qi, this time I am going to fight alone and take Mrs. Zhang with me. Do you also want to say it is unlucky?"
Murong Chui gritted his teeth: "No, Heavenly King, since ancient times, women joining the army will make the three armies lose their strength. The army is mostly young men with strong blood. When they see a woman, they will have lustful thoughts and cannot concentrate. This is true on the battlefield.
It was life-threatening. When Li Ling of the Han Dynasty went out to fight against the Huns, his morale was low for a few days. Li Ling immediately noticed the presence of women in the army, and ordered a thorough investigation. Sure enough, he found that there were more than a hundred women disguised as sergeants.
When he joined the army, he provided sexual pleasure to male soldiers at night, so Li Ling ordered all these women to be killed, and the morale of the army was restored, and Li Ling became famous in one battle!"
"There is also a record of the Central Plains Art of War. When defending a city, it needs to be divided into three armies. One army is strong men, one army is women, and one army is the old, weak, sick and disabled. In principle, the three armies perform their own duties and cannot meet each other to avoid frustration.
, King of Heaven, these are ancient teachings and must be observed!"
Fu Jian waved his hand impatiently: "These are just mysteries made by the Central Plains people, Gu Ke never believed it. Besides, Murong Lan is a soldier of our Great Qin, not just a secret agent of your Murong family, Gu Ke now
How can you be upset when you meet her in a handsome tent, but not in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers? General Murong, you have decided to be alone, there is no need to say any more!"
Murong Chui had nothing to say, so he bowed and turned around to leave the tent. After a moment, Murong Lan, who was dressed in armor and had a heroic appearance, entered the tent.
Today, Murong Lan wears no makeup and wears a helmet. According to Murong Chui's instructions just now, her clothes and armor were deliberately covered with dust and dirty, and her face was also smeared with mud, but she is naturally beautiful.
Her stunning appearance was still hard to conceal. There was an unspeakable heroic temperament in her beauty, especially her pair of bright star eyes, which were sparkling. Even Fu Jian, who had read all over the world's beauties, couldn't help but notice it for a moment.
He was stunned, holding the bowl of wine in his hand, and his whole body was almost frozen there.
Fu Rong saw that Fu Jian was looking a little out of sorts, and coughed slightly before Fu Jian reacted, put down the wine bowl in his hand, and still looked up and down Murong Lan's body: "Are you Murong Lan?"
Murong Lan raised her hand in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Murong Lan, who holds the humble position of Protector, has met the King of Heaven."
Fu Jian laughed loudly and stood up: "Murong Protector, last time you defeated Shouchun, I made you the Protector. This time you went to Jin Camp as an envoy and made new achievements. What should I reward you?"
