Chapter 579 The victorious army returns to Jiankang
Huan Xuan nodded: "Brother's concern is very correct, but it depends on man-made things. Qin's defeat not only lost hundreds of thousands of troops, but also Fu Jian's invincible reputation. If Fu Jian was smart enough and took the initiative to shrink
The Di troops in various parts of Guandong may be able to protect Guanzhong from being lost."
"But based on my understanding of Fu Jian, he will not give in. Now that he has left heavy guards in Luoyang, Yecheng, and Bingzhou, Guanzhong will inevitably be empty. Those Xianbei and Qiang people who moved to Guanzhong after he defeated them before
People, the Huns, are afraid that they will cause chaos one after another."
"If there is a long-term war in Guanzhong, a large number of Guanzhong people who cannot survive will inevitably move south with their families. Just like when the Shizhao Empire collapsed, a large number of people in Hebei moved their families south. Isn't that how the Beifu soldiers came?"
Huan Chong laughed: "What Lingbao said is true. Going south from Wuguan and Shangluo Road, the road is not easy to walk, and it is impossible for too many people to come. Only when you leave Tongguan and enter places like Hongnong and Shaanxi County can you
It is the most important channel for people from Guanzhong to leave the country. So we have to hurry up and make the Northern Expedition to recapture Xiangyang first, and then send our troops north to seize Luoyang in case chaos breaks out in Guanzhong and the refugees go south?"
Huan Xuan's eyes flashed coldly: "It must be like this. Our opponent now is not the Qin army, but the Xie family. Their victory in this battle is so great and shocking, but they must be defeated by the high-ranking families in Jiankang City."
Because of his jealousy, he will probably be restrained in many ways to prevent him from making an immediate northern expedition, and the Xie family also needs to appease and reward the soldiers of the Beifu Army. This will take time, so we have a chance."
"Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Qin army's retreat and Fu Jian's return to Guanzhong, we immediately set out with our army to attack Xiangyang. We will use our opportunity to recapture Luoyang. In this way, even if the Xie family wants to continue their northern expedition, they will not be able to enter Guanzhong from the west.
They can only go all the way north, across the Yellow River, to compete for the Hebei area centered on Yecheng. Hey, by then, maybe their opponent will no longer be the Qin army, but the resurgent Murong Xianbei."
Huan Chong stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled: "Very good, Lingbao, you immediately take five thousand troops to Jiankang, and present the Qin army's battle flags we captured and those Guanzhong musicians who know rituals and music to the Holy One, and take part in it by the way."
We have to let everyone in the world know about the prisoner ceremony that Xie An is going to organize. This battle to retreat from the Qin Dynasty is not just about the Xie family’s battle at Feishui, our Huan family also has a great victory in Jingzhou!”
Huan Xuan curled his lips: "My nephew still wants to follow my uncle to hunt down the Qin army, recapture Xiangyang, and take Wanluo directly. Can we send someone else to do this?"
A cold light flashed in Huan Chong's eyes: "There is a more important thing, which is to find the aristocratic families in Jiankang City, especially people like Wang Guobao and Yu Kai, and let them hold back the Xie family in front of the Holy Lord.
They are slandering, saying that the Xie family's uncles and nephews support the army and respect themselves, and have hidden agendas to make them jealous and restrain each other. Only then do we have a chance here. This matter must be done by you!"
Huan Xuan nodded, bowed his hands respectfully to his waist: "My nephew, I obey!"
Five days later, outside Jiankang City, there was the Beifu Military Camp.
Since the Feishui Battle a month ago, the name of Beifu Soldiers has become famous all over the world. In the previous Battle of Junchuan, the Qin army collapsed without a fight, which made many people doubt the combat effectiveness of Beifu Soldiers.
, this time in Luojian and Feishui, they won two consecutive victories, especially the battle of Feishui, which can be said to be the battle that determines the ownership of the world. The main force of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops was defeated without any suspense.
The current Beifu Army, in the eyes of the people of the Jin Dynasty, is the embodiment of invincibility in the world, and Xie An lost no time in telling the soldiers of the Beifu Army to take the prisoners of the Qin Army through Jiankang, and finally presented the prisoners to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, which was also won.
In response to the popular sentiment, many scholars and common people from all over Wu, even from the Minyue region thousands of miles away, rushed to come, just to have a look at the invincible iron army.
Liu Yu arrived outside Jiankang City fifteen days ago. He wanted to go home for a visit, but this time the Beifu Army had strict orders not to go home without permission before the military parade and military demonstrations, so Liu Yu had no choice but to forcefully press the button.
The longing for relatives and loved ones to be reunited followed the army to the outside of Jiankang City. According to regulations, before the military parade, all sergeants must be stationed in the camp and are not allowed to enter the city. And these days, what everyone does every day, except
Outside of training, it’s just like now, gathering together, chatting, and looking forward to a better life in the future.
Since the last battle, the smile on Xiang Jing's face has almost never stopped. Last time, he was sharp-minded and snatched Fu Jian's mica cart. He just pushed it by himself every day, wandering around the camp, meeting every
People then said, This is the car that Fu Jian and his wife used to ride in. Today, I am the Iron Bull. Is it powerful or prestigious? Is it advantageous or disadvantageous?
"Rabbit, did you see that this is the car that Fu Jian and his woman rode in that I, Tieniu, robbed? Is it majestic or powerful?" Xiang Jing grinned widely while driving the car and pushing it forward.
The two-wheeled carriage smiled triumphantly at Wei Yongzhi, who was sitting on the ground basking in the sun with his hare lips turned.
Wei Yongzhi threw a lump over in annoyance: "That's almost enough, Tieniu, my ears are getting calloused when I hear your words. If you were so majestic and powerful, you should get four horses by now."
To pull a cart, you should sit on it, but if you look like this and you have to pull the cart yourself, don’t you feel like you’re just a donkey?”
Xiang Jing was so angry that he kicked the lump of earth into the air, and it fell apart in the air. The dust was scattered all over Wei Yongzhi: "You have such a bad mouth, if it weren't for the order from above, all the war horses would have to be handed over.
Can Tieniu pull a cart by himself? Hum, not only did I rob this cart, I also robbed three horses. Brother Jinu, do you think so?"
Liu Yu sat under a big shady tree and looked at his brothers with a smile. He looked at Xiang Jing and said with a smile: "Yes, Tieniu is majestic and powerful. In the future, Tieniu will go home and marry
Your wife has given birth to a son, but you must let your wife ride in King Fu Tian’s car!"
Xiang Jing laughed loudly: "Brother Jinu still understands me. Come on, brother Jinu, get in my car, and I will push you to walk a hundred steps."
Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand, and Tan Pingzhi on the side said angrily: "Okay, Tieniu, all of us have ridden in your car. You said you can still be promising. We have all made great contributions. In the future, we will
Even though you have been promoted and rewarded, you still go around pulling people around all day long. From now on, you have to take a car and have people pull you around."
Xiang Jingshai said: "Bah, you damn bottle, I didn't drag you along. Taking the car will be a matter of the future. I just want you guys to ride in the car that the King of Qin used to ride in."
A gong-like voice burst from one side: "Bold maniacs, how dare you secretly hide Qin's illegal chariots. Are you, the soldiers of the Beifu, trying to gather a crowd to rebel?!"
