Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 1124 The Only Way Out
But the facts proved that there was nothing wrong with Wang Mi's brain, and he was not going to give up Xuzhou City to Fu Fei.

To be honest, if everything works according to the existing form, it may be less troublesome and labor-saving for him.

What about Fu Fei?
He is a smart man, he will not rashly challenge the Jin army when his own strength is not enough, that will only hand over the city that he has finally controlled in his hands.

Of course, he was honest, that was just a stopgap measure, it didn't mean how loyal he was to Da Jin, it was a must.

You see, even if the imperial court changed its name in the future, it would not make much difference to Fu Fei.

He is still a Di person, and he is very different from the main body of the imperial court that Wang Mi is about to establish. He will also know that in this land, he belongs to a minority, and it is impossible to be completely trusted.

Even if Wang Mi shows enough kindness to him and treats him well, he will not feel at ease. In this way, conflicts are very likely to happen.

"Then what do you mean, take advantage of this Northern Expedition to take Xuzhou?"

This is not impossible, Liu Yu calculated it this way, if it is said that it is the closest to Jingkou, and it is not under the control of the Jin army, this Xuzhou is the only one.

Winning it is much easier than winning Tianshui. If we are strong enough, we might as well go to Xuzhou to practice first.

It will also be beneficial for us to enter the territory of the Murong Ministry in the future.

However, this is just Liu Yu's immature idea. Obviously, Xuzhou is really not so easy to attack.

After all, the defense level here is still very high. Although the current weapons and equipment of the Jin army are invincible, it is still difficult to conquer such an important town.

If you don't believe it, you can refer to the various battles in the early Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming army has obvious advantages in weapons and equipment, it is not invincible. It takes a lot of effort to capture a city.

Therefore, the scene is changed to today, and it is the same. Facing an important town like Xuzhou, it is impossible to plan carelessly.

"Don't worry, it's okay to take care of him after the Northern Expedition is successful. Now, I still want to be steady."

"He didn't want to move at first, but if we scare him into moving because we want to annex him, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

"It's not necessary at all. Our focus now is to get all of Yao Qiang's territory."

"As for Xuzhou and the Murong Department, you can let it go. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, we won't be enemies with him."

"Of course, this place will eventually be taken back. I don't feel at ease if a general like him from Diqin is here, right in front of Jiankang City."

"Then just wait a little longer, this old boy will be cheaper!" Liu Yu said through gritted teeth.

He waved his fist in the air. In Liu Yu's opinion, Fu Fei should be eliminated as soon as possible.Why is such an important place in Xuzhou placed in his hands?

I can't bear it for another day.

If it were him, he would go north before the Northern Expedition, and be the first to clean him up!

Unfortunately, Wang Mi did not allow it.

Then we can only let it go.

Although Liu Yu still felt that it would be a waste not to seize such a good opportunity, Wang Mi's decision was not unreasonable.

Fu Fei is such a dangerous person, he is still afraid of the strength of the Beifu soldiers, and he just wants to keep his own place of survival.

They will not take the initiative to make trouble, and if the Jin army takes the initiative to attack, no matter whether they win or lose, it is certain that the strength of Beifu will be greatly weakened.

It must be a big battle to win Xuzhou. Once it is fought, the consumption will be too much. How can they go to the Northern Expedition?

Didn't this massive Northern Expedition end before it even started?
Thinking about it this way, the Northern Expedition is more important. If you hold Chang'an, the whole pattern in the north will be opened.

The pattern is open!

This is true for the Jin army, and even more so for Di Qin.

Everyone is for their own little calculations, and no one can say anything. On this side, all the big men in Jingkou are discussing, and on the other side, in Qinzhou, General Fu Rong's ears don't have a leisure time.

"Did you know that Zhu Xu went to see Cui Yanyou, the guard of the Jin army!"

"They are all Jin people. Seeing that we are weak now, they want to unite and change banners!" Upon receiving such news, the veteran Quan Yi immediately expressed his concern.

He came to discuss with Fu Rong without delay, but Fu Rong's performance was not as nervous as the old man imagined.

"Ziliang, why are you so anxious?"

"You and I, after all the storms and waves, do you still need to worry about these little things?"

"This little thing?"

"It's easy for you to say!" Quan Yi became anxious when he heard that, he slapped the table and shouted: "I told you a long time ago, these Jin people have always been very cunning, you can't reuse them, let alone let them guard border."

"You just don't believe it, just look at it, if we fight together, Zhu Xu will definitely take Tianshui and join the Jin army!"

Zhu Xu: Your old man still knows me well, that's what I think.

Of course the old man knows him well. You know, although Quan Yi has been with several major tribes since he became an official, he was an important counselor under Yao Qiang's camp at the earliest, and later defected to Fu Jian. Among the tribes, they can get along like ducks in water by seeking refuge everywhere, and they are in high positions.

However, one thing should not be forgotten, although Quan Yi is working everywhere, he doesn't seem to have any position, or in other words, he is only thinking about Di Qin now.

But in fact, here he is passionately insulting Zhu Xu, however, he is also a Han Chinese.

That's why he only talked about the Jin people, not the Han people, because he himself was also a Han Chinese, and even if he worked for Di Qin, he couldn't insult his ancestors.

In this case, it's not good for his own reputation, and reputation is very important to hang out here.

Fu Rong must be made to think that Quan Yi is following Fu Rong wholeheartedly now, and he has absolutely no second intentions.

Otherwise, would he still be able to survive until today?
Fu Rong was too lazy to guess what Quan Yi was thinking, he had already seen it.

You look at the current situation, his Daqin has changed from sitting on half of the country to the virtue it is today. Not only is the territory greatly reduced, but the number of people is definitely not comparable to before.

Objectively speaking, I am really poor and really have no strength.

Could it be that Fu Rong doesn't want to raise his troops eastward and fight Yao Chang to win?

Take back Chang'an City after a shameful blow?
I think about it, how I don't want to, I'm thinking about it in my dreams. However, does the current Qin still have that strength?

It can be said that it is already quite difficult to barely defend the current territory, and it is too self-defeating to want to make progress.

If it weren't for this kind of expectation, how could Fu Rong pinch his nose and take the risk to cooperate with the Jin army?

How could he not know that doing so is extremely risky, and if he is not careful, several cities will be eaten by the Jin army.

However, for the current Di Qin, apart from fighting, Fu Rong could not even think of activities that could smoothly mobilize the cohesion of Di Qin's combat power.

Fighting wars, taking revenge, and seizing more land, as a small and peaceful force, seems to have become the only meaning of existence for Di Qin led by Fu Rong.

Such things as developing people's livelihood, paying attention to finance and taxation, and even coordinating the forces of several parties are no longer the focus of Fu Rong's attention.

The site is almost gone, why are you still thinking about those things?
Is it relaxing?

This principle is like, thinking back then, when Zhuge Kongming was in the middle of Sichuan, he could obviously live in a corner and not participate in the melee in the Central Plains, and maybe he could live comfortably for decades.However, he chose not to do so.

He launched the Northern Expedition several times and went out of Longzhong, trying his best to make the team move. That kind of situation is actually not much different from the current Diqin.

With Zhuge Kongming's wisdom, it is impossible for him not to see that among the so-called three kingdoms, the power of Shu is the weakest.

If their power is strong enough, they don't have to carry the banner of Han orthodoxy every day. This is to find legitimacy for their own team.

Zhuge Kongming knew very well that the road to the Northern Expedition was very difficult, and they could hardly compete with the powerful Cao Wei.

Therefore, you can see that Zhuge Kongming's several victories were basically using ingenious tricks, taking advantage of the enemy's suspicion, or making a fuss about his unfamiliarity with the situation.

But in fact, although Cao Wei at that time could not annex Shuzhong, it just couldn't be eaten in one bite.

As for Cao Wei in the middle of Shu, you simply can't gnaw at his hard bones, so, obviously, the strength of strength can be seen at a glance.

Obviously he couldn't win the battle, and obviously it would cost a lot of manpower and material resources, but Zhuge Kongming still insisted on the Northern Expedition. His purpose was to keep the forces in Central Shu alive and cohesive.

Otherwise, every battle will be defeated, seeing a powerful enemy, whether it is soldiers or ordinary people on your side, the morale will become more and more low.

If things go on like this, Shuzhong will lose the legitimacy of its existence, and it will fall first without the need for others to fight.

Therefore, the current Fu Rong is really not like Quan Yi, who is filled with righteous indignation when he sees everything.

"Zhu Xu's going shows that he is a smart person, because I let him go in the first place."

"You let him go?"

"how can that be?"

"I do not believe!"

Quan Yi yelled anxiously, but Fu Rong remained motionless and asked him to sit down!
Quan Yi couldn't sit still, he just kept pulling Fu Rong blindly, and if he didn't make it clear today, no one would even think about leaving!

Fu Rong had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Ziliang, it was my decision for Zhu Xu to guard Tianshui!"

Quan Yi blew his beard: "Of course it's you, I stopped you at that time, but you didn't listen, just look at today!"

Fu Rong said with a smile: "Since I asked Zhu Xu to go to Tianshui, Zhu Xu understood that this was an arrangement to cooperate with the Jin army."

"Zhu Xu was the surrendered general of the Jin army. He surrendered at that time because he was captured and could not wish to die. He surrendered as a last resort."

"Through these years, although he has been quite peaceful in Diqin, he has never let go of Jin in his heart. Zhu Xu also knows, and we are very clear about his intentions, but there are some things that are not convenient to point out."

"I received a letter from the Jin army a few days ago. I didn't hide it from him. Now let him, a general who surrendered from the Jin Dynasty, go to Tianshui to guard against Jin's Hanzhong. As long as Zhu Xu returns If he has a brain, he should see that we are ready to cooperate with the Jin army, and it is more convenient to send him because he used to be a Jin general."

"However, this person has always been devoted to the Jin army. If he returns to the Jin Dynasty with Tianshui County, what shall we do?"

"Not only can't deal with Yao Qiang, but also lost a county in vain, isn't this very dangerous?"

After all, this is what Quan Yi is most worried about. After all, Di Qin's strength is already quite weak, and he can't afford to lose the city and land.

And Zhu Xu was such a dangerous person that he had to guard against him.

He doesn't understand Fu Rong's laissez-faire attitude. Isn't he in a hurry?You know it's dangerous, but you still insist on doing it?

You know, this is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. For a person like Zhu Xu, if you give him a chance now, you are inducing him to commit a crime.

At that time, if Zhu Xu really does this, then the responsibility will really not be on Zhu Xu. After all, his intentions are clearly revealed and have always been on the surface. If you still make such an arrangement, it is not because of Let him do it?

Fu Rong sighed, and said helplessly: "This is not something we need to consider now. What we need to grasp now is the cooperation with the Jin army. As for how Zhu Xu will choose in the end, that is a matter for the future."

"I can't think that far ahead now."

These words are equivalent to concluding the statement. It can be regarded as revealing Fu Rong's true attitude. What else can Quan Yi say?

He was speechless.

Perhaps in Fu Rong's eyes, this Tianshui County is already on the road of giving up. Perhaps, he still has a longer-term goal. Under the guidance of this goal, Tianshui can be given up.

Nothing to say.

Then let him go!

The Jingkou army is advancing slowly, because the cities they want to attack are basically land.

Even if there is water, the amount of water is not as abundant as in the south.

Therefore, according to Wang Mi's arrangement, the Jin army, who originally liked to take many large ships on the road, replaced many fast and convenient grasshopper boats this time, which were convenient for charging.

Of course, there are still large treasure ships, but the number has been relatively reduced. Why this arrangement is mainly because the current Jin army is very different from the previous Jin army.The current Jin army has captured many cities, and the line of defense has already crossed the Huaihe River and advanced to the Central Plains.

It's just that the location is not that good yet, and those places that the military strategists must fight for have not yet been obtained.

Therefore, in the north, the Jin army already has a lot of strongholds. Over there, the Jin army is not idle and has been recruiting soldiers. Therefore, the Jin army in the north is also well-stocked now, and it is completely ready to be transferred.

There are more strongholds in the north, and the Beifu does not need to mobilize so many soldiers and horses as before. The most important thing is that the reserve of war horses has also doubled now.

At this time, the Jin army is no longer as dependent on water warfare as it used to be, and there are already many good horses. When they reach their destination, there is no problem at all to abandon the ship and replace the horse.
