Fu Jian softly said "Oh" and looked Murong Lan up and down, but this time, his eyes showed more appreciation for a courtier than coveting for a beautiful woman: "Say
To be more specific, how can we retreat to advance?"
Murong Lan said seriously: "This time the Beifu troops sent troops, they underestimated the strength of our army and overestimated the defensive capabilities of Shouchun City. They originally planned to rely on the fortified city of Shouchun to consume our army's energy and military supplies, and then take advantage of our
When the army is exhausted, the army will rush forward for a decisive battle and wipe out our vanguard in one fell swoop. If the front army is defeated, even though there are hundreds of thousands of troops behind, it will be difficult to fight again. So starting from the Xie family's marriage to Huan Yi, to Liu behind
Yu Liu stayed at Shouchun to implement this plan."
"It's just that Shouchun fell shortly after they set off. Now the initiative on the battlefield has completely changed hands. Our army has surrounded Hu Bin's headquarters and is sitting on Shouchun waiting for the Beifu army to come. Xie Xuanqiang will be defeated. He knows this very well.
, so what he has to do now is to find how to withdraw his troops safely, honorably and quickly."
Fu Jian smiled slightly: "What does it mean to withdraw troops safely, decently and quickly?"
Murong Lan curled up her lips and said: "Safety is the first priority. Withdrawing troops in front of the enemy, and withdrawing nearly 100,000 troops, if there is a slight mistake, the entire army will be in danger of being annihilated. Moreover, the three armies of the Jin Army have different opinions now."
, it may not even be possible to achieve unified command. If we retreat forcefully like this, our army only needs to send elite cavalry to harass the rear in turns. The Jin army is mainly infantry. I am afraid that the army will disperse like birds and beasts before they reach Guangling."
"The second is dignity, or to keep the Xie family's commanding seal. Because the upper-class families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty fought fiercely, the Xie family's control of the army has long displeased many aristocratic families. They tried their best to seize the power of the Xie family. First of all,
This is the military power of the Beifu Army. This time, Longxiang General Hu Bin's troops came to rescue Shouchun. They were not direct troops of the Beifu Army, but the guards of the capital. If they saw that he was surrounded and did not rescue him, they would be afraid of Jiankang City.
Those high-ranking families in the army will take the opportunity to seize Xie Xuan's military power. Therefore, rescuing Hu Bin, or taking action to rescue Hu Bin, is the bottom line for the Beifu Army's retreat this time."
Fu Jian said in surprise: "Is this your own opinion, or did General Murong tell you?"
Murong Lan shook his head: "Since I lurked in the Jin camp, I have not been able to communicate with the general on any major military affairs except for reporting intelligence. As for Shouchun City, after returning to the Qin Dynasty, I will soon send an envoy to the Jin camp. These military matters,
The general will not discuss with a secret agent like me. These analyzes were all made by me."
Fu Rong said coldly: "I don't believe it. You are a little girl and you are not a general. How can you know about such a major military and political matter?"
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Because when I was in the Beifu Army, I often discussed these things with people like Liu Yu, Liu Muzhi, Liu Yi, and He Wuji. After a long time, I naturally understood more things. On the battlefield
This is a concentrated expression of national politics. The reason why the Eastern Jin Dynasty has repeatedly failed in its Northern Expedition over the years is because there are too many internal constraints, and the top officials of various aristocratic families have to compete for power. It is the same this time."
Fu Jian softly said "Oh": "But I still can't understand why an ordinary low-level sergeant like Liu Yu can know these important national events?"
Murong Chui said with a smile: "The king of heaven doesn't know something. This Liu Yu has been spotted by the Xie family. Wang Miaoyin, the daughter of Wang Ningzhi, the prefect of Kuaiji, and Xie Daoyun, the daughter of the Xie family, has been promised to be his unmarried wife. As long as this war is over,
The marriage is about to be consummated, and the news has spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. No one knows about it, and no one knows about it."
Fu Jian was surprised and said: "How could this happen? Aren't all the noble families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty looking higher than Xiang Xiang, saying that there are no poor people in the upper class and no noble people in the lower class? How can a peasant like Liu Yu be so interested in him?
?”
Fu Rong sighed: "King of Heaven, this is absolutely true, and I have heard about it. I think it was probably the time when the Eastern Jin Dynasty was facing a national crisis. The Xie family knew that it would not be able to withstand the attack of our millions of heavenly troops of the Qin Dynasty, so they began to think about changes when they were poor.
Let's select elite warriors from the lower class. Anyway, if the country is destroyed, everything will be over. Now giving away a granddaughter will not cause much loss to the Xie family, but it can make a warrior from a poor family like Liu Yu
We see hope and are happy to work for it."
Fu Jian nodded: "This seems to be something Xie An did. Murong Lan, are you saying that because of this relationship, Liu Yu is very aware of some things at the top and often talks to you about them?"
Murong Lan nodded: "Yes, before Liu Yu joined the Xie family, he was just a strong warrior. But after being in contact with the Xie family for a long time, his views on many things are different. And that Liu Muzhi
, he was originally a scholar. Although his family was in decline, he was full of talents. Now he is serving in the Beifu Army and joining the army. He plans many confidential things. Every time the two of them talk about these things, we understand everything. "
Fu Jian sighed and said to Murong Chui: "General Murong, you have really done great service for the country this time. Murong Lan is so familiar with the internal affairs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but thousands of spies can't find out."
Fu Rong said anxiously: "King of Heaven, these things still need to be verified. You must not believe this one-sided statement."
Fu Jian shook his head and said seriously: "Mr. Yang Ping, you are looking for someone to verify it now. Can you verify these battles among the upper echelons of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"
Fu Rong was speechless for a moment and had no words to reply.
Fu Jian looked at Murong Lan and smiled slightly: "Since Captain Murong has told so many details, your conclusion is that in order to continue to retain military power, Xie Xuan will definitely rescue Hu Bin, right?"
Murong Lan nodded: "He will send a partial force to try to rescue Hu Bin. If he is lucky enough to succeed in the sneak attack, he can evacuate to Guangling together. If he is not lucky, he has done his best, and the remaining partial force can also be used as a break-up.
The covering troops will help him move his army. In this way, the Beifu army can retreat completely, and Xie Xuan can continue to keep his position as commander."
Fu Jian laughed loudly: "Captain Murong, your thoughts are exactly the same as Gu's. Send an order to Liang Cheng to prepare for the battle. You must keep an eye on Hu Bin for me. Don't let any soldiers go!"
Quan Yi curled his lips and said: "King of Heaven, if Liang Cheng's troops have to deal with the reinforcements of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Hu Bin at the same time, do they need to send more troops?"
Fu Jian waved his hand: "No need, my army will be reserved to pursue Xie Xuan, but I can't leave him with a broken rear division to block him. Liang Cheng has 50,000 troops, which is enough to cope with it. Tell him that the Eastern Jin Dynasty will send troops
It must be a partial division. It's nothing to worry about. Charge and fight fiercely to eliminate this unit as quickly as possible. Hu Bin's troops saw that the reinforcements were defeated and surrendered without a fight. After solving the problem, come over early to meet up with Gu. Gu wants to
Destroy Xie Xuan outside Guangling City!"
