Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 1178 Women's Intuition

It was precisely because of the many artifacts that Wang Mi brought that the enemy suffered repeated defeats. Under the premise that their true combat effectiveness and fighting will collapsed, the Northern Expedition was greatly shortened. This gave Wang Mi a choice. The possibility of a more taxing offensive line.

Who makes it unnecessary for people to extend the front line so long?

Who allows people to conquer a city every time they conquer it?

It is only said that these captured cities quickly raised the white flag under Wang Mi's bloodless offensive.

Because the progress was so fast, the cities newly occupied by the Jin army did not suffer too much damage.

As a result, many of the Jin army's baggage and equipment could be quickly replenished, of course with the help of the people in the occupied cities.

…………

"So, how are you? Do you feel better?"

Tan Pingzhi never expected that Wang Mi would come to see him in person so late at night. He struggled to get up, but Wang Mi quickly pressed his hands to stop him.

"Have a rest and don't move."

He's still injured, so why bother?
Although it was true that no vital parts were injured, it was indeed a skin injury. Wang Mi had already checked this before when Lao Tan was just carried off the battlefield.

However, it was also a big wound that bled a lot of blood. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break a muscle. Lao Tan's injury, even in modern times, would not have allowed him to get out of bed for ten days and a half, let alone here. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, medicine was ineffective.

"Zhiyuan, I heard that you asked Wuji and Zeng Jing to return to Jiankang for reinforcements?"

Hey.

There are ventilation walls everywhere, and news in the military camp spreads so quickly.

"Yes, the Queen Mother has received news that Sima Shangzhi's brother is ready to take action. Our army is in a very dangerous situation, and Jiankang City is also in a period of uncertainty and chaos. So, although I am reluctant to part with it, I have no choice but to let Wu Ji goes back first."

Tan Pingzhi hammered his thigh desperately in annoyance: "If I hadn't failed to live up to expectations and been plotted by that Zhai Zhao, how could you be in such trouble?"

"It's enough for me to go, that's enough!"

"Hey, based on this, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Injuries on the battlefield are unavoidable. No vital parts were injured. I'm already very happy for you. As for the situation in Jiankang City, I conclude that Sima Shangzhi will be injured in a short period of time. Don’t dare to send troops rashly yet.”

"Even if they send troops one step ahead, don't you still believe in Wuji? With Wuji here, it's enough to deal with them."

This time, He Wuji and the others rushed back to Jiankang with little effort. Whether it was traditional weapons or advanced firearms, they only brought enough for their personal use.

Why not bring more?
Do you look down on Brother Sima?

Congratulations, you really got it right.

Now that the Sima family has reached this age, the remaining disciples already have mediocre martial arts, otherwise they wouldn't be taken down by other powerful forces in turn.

Furthermore, so far, the people of the Sima family have never seen the true power of firearms. Such an army cannot compete with the Beifu soldiers who are armed to the teeth.

What's more, both He Wuji and Zeng Jing are not ordinary people, and they have some skills in tactics and strategies.

It has gone through layers of training in actual combat. To be honest, it is probably enough to take the initiative when competing against the children of the Sima family.

What's more, there is an advantageous condition that Wang Mi has preset, which is Puchao and Jiangshoufang!

Although Wang Miren has left, the work in the workshop has not stopped day and night. It can even be said to be in full swing and even more lively.

This is inevitable.

When Wang Mi and others set out for the Northern Expedition from Jiankang, they counted the workshops. At that time, there were still thousands of stones of saltpeter and sulfur left in the workshop.

Since there are so many raw materials left and there is still a war to be fought, why not continue production?
Of course we have to continue manufacturing.

Therefore, in the general workshop, there are still many firearms that have been made but have not been shipped to the north.

As long as Wuji and the others can enter the city, they can quickly master this batch of weapons, which will be enough for them to compete with Sima Shangzhi.

Isn’t this the best of both worlds?

Of course, these are all rights and interests methods chosen in a hurry. If they are not in a hurry, and if they have spare energy, it would be best if He Wuji and the others can bring some firearms back.

However, it is a pity that if they carry many firearms and march in a hurry, no matter how anxious they are, it will take at least a month based on the distance from them to Jiankang!

Calculate how much time has passed now!

You know, even if Wang Zhenying's letter is delivered by fast horse at the inn, it will take at least 20 days to catch up with the speed of the army and arrive outside Yongzhou City.

This is due to inconvenient transportation and the lack of modern transportation. This is already the limit in terms of speed. What can you do?
In other words, for Wang Mi, it was indeed new news received, but in fact, for Jiankang City, this news was not new at all.

It’s been happening for almost a month!
In this month, Wang Mi's eyes darkened, and he didn't know what happened in Jiankang City.

What if you don’t seek speed?
At this point, Wang Mi still felt that it was too slow. If this were the case in modern times, everything would be clear with just one phone call.

Do you still need to feel uneasy and uneasy here?
Yup!

Why do I feel heavy-hearted?

Everything has obviously been arranged, and it is the best solution he can think of under the current situation.

However, Wang Mi could not find any sense of relaxation at all.

Why is that?
Faintly, he actually felt a sense of worry...

Where does this worry come from?

Looking further ahead, we see Jingkou and the northern gate of Jiankang, the capital of Jin Dynasty.

In the Beifu military camp, Liu Laozhi was alone, pouring and drinking by himself. There was an extremely bright moonlight outside the tent. Liu Laozhi enjoyed the wine and food alone, which was quite unique.

But now, Liu Laozhi was not in such a relaxed mood. The rich wine rolled in his throat, and there was even a hint of heat.

I choked so much!
Liu Laozhi coughed violently a few times. However, he had always had a good drinker, but it was just a few sips of wine. Why was it like this?

Of course, I was still disturbed by my mood.

What should he do?

Liu Laozhi, who had been unemployed in Jingkou for a long time, suddenly faced a very difficult choice.

Difficult!

You said it’s not good to send letters at any time, but if you insist on sending them at this time, doesn’t this lead people to make mistakes?

However, this is a normal thing.

If none of the new generals in Beifu were here, how could that person send a personal letter to Liu Laozhi?
Cooperation?

Of course that's not possible.What future can there be in cooperating with those people?
Now Liu Laozhi can still be regarded as an old-timer in Beifu. When Wang Mi's Northern Expedition succeeds in the future, although he will not be able to make new achievements on the battlefield, he will at least be considered meritorious in holding the base camp of Jingkou.

Although Beifu no longer belongs to Liu Laozhi and he now only has a false name, Liu Laozhi is also betting on the future.

What if...

Although the chief of Beifu must belong to Liu Yu, not only Liu Yu himself, but also Liu Laozhi firmly believed in this. Who else could take this position instead of Liu Yu?

Now Liu Laozhi's ambition has weakened and he no longer intends to compete with Liu Yu.

However, Liu Laozhi can still have a place in other positions, and since Wang Mi became King of Langya, this trend has become more and more obvious.

Isn’t this what it means to replace it?

Be your own emperor!
If Wang Mi himself becomes the emperor, the situation in the court will suddenly be different, and he can be assigned more positions.

For example, for generals like Liu Laozhi, who are very senior and are old colleagues, it is easy to get a decent position.

After all, the positions at Wang Mi's disposal now are not limited to Beifu.

Although there were some discords in the past, times have long since changed, and Wang Mi still respects Liu Laozhi.

Whether he did it out of his true intention or just as a show, it made no difference to Liu Laozhi.

The moment he gave up the fight for the chief position of Beifu, he naturally became amiable in Wang Mi's heart.

As long as Liu Laozhi can maintain his composure, stop causing trouble, and wait calmly for Wang Mi to accomplish great things, he can reap the benefits.

Isn't it beautiful?

Think about it, in the Jin Dynasty, Liu Laozhi is already quite well-established. It can be said that as long as he does not act like a monster and is honest, he can securely occupy the second position as the commander of the Jin army.

Why do you say that?

Could it be that He Wujitan and the others were dead based on this?

Of course not.

Although Liu Laozhi was not very peaceful, he was not a fool either. He calculated this account very clearly.

In terms of military exploits, he really can't compare with Lao Tan and the others. Others' achievements have long been above his.

However, the army is not in a paradise. It also has to pay attention to seniority.

In terms of seniority, Liu Laozhi was far above them.

In addition to the issue of seniority, of course there is also the issue of closeness and distance and the need for a bowl of water to be balanced.

Although Liu Laozhi's military exploits are not as good as those of several young generals, he is quite popular among the soldiers because of his seniority and extensive experience in Beifu.

Secondly, it was precisely because Liu Laozhi was an old general of Beifu and had a different path from Tan Pingzhi and others. He was even the one favored by Xie Xuan, the original general of Beifu.

Even if Wang Mi is not very optimistic about Liu Laozhi and does not intend to reuse him, then for the sake of balance and to show a magnanimous appearance to the outside world, Wang Mi will not treat Liu Laozhi badly.

A variety of reasons are added together, and it is certain that as long as Wang Mi becomes emperor, Liu Laozhi's good days will have no end.

On the contrary, what benefit can he gain by following those people?
Even if there are benefits, it cannot be compared with Liu Laozhi's accumulation in Beifu.

Sima Shangzhi...

Is there something wrong with this person's brain? Does he really think that I will follow them?
Although Liu Laozhi had made up his mind, his inner emotions were still very complicated.

As a veteran general, he was once a powerful figure among the Beifu soldiers. If Wang Mi hadn't suddenly come to disrupt the situation with a group of brothers, then Xie Xuan's successor would have been himself.

It can be said that from this perspective, Liu Laozhi has always been lost.

But this sense of loss gradually weakened as the years passed. After all, one problem still had to be clarified, that is, although Wang Mi was ambitious, it was Xie Xuan who ultimately chose him to succeed him.

It was not that he took advantage of Xie Xuan's illness to seize power and usurp the throne.

It can even be said that Wang Mi's smooth promotion in Beifu was not due to Xie Xuan.

It was Xie An's plan who had been strategizing and controlling the situation behind the scenes.

You know, it was Xie An who helped Wang Mi become the son-in-law of the Xie family. Even Xie Xuan didn't agree with it at first.

So, it was Xie's family who chose Wang Mi, and Wang Mi himself was just following the trend.

In this case, if Liu Laozhi is dissatisfied, he should go to his old boss Xie Xuan to discuss it. Of course, Xie Xuan has passed away, and Liu Laozhi may not be able to find him even if he wants to find him.

But people are so weird.

Although he had calmly accepted the end of retirement, he was still excited for a moment when he received Sima Shangzhi's letter.

This is like a veteran who once fought on the battlefield, has been forgotten in the countryside for many years, and is suddenly called up by the imperial court.

That feeling is simply unparalleled.

No one wants to be forgotten, especially those who have made great achievements. However, the current situation is like this. The era of young people has come, not to mention veterans like Liu Laozhi, even Huan Yi stood up like that The generals who were in the [-]th century gradually became less important.

Where is the stage for Liu Laozhi to perform?
Therefore, I have to say that Brother Lao is still feeling disappointed in his heart.

Wang Mi, who was busy with the Northern Expedition, had no time to take into account his emotions. Sima Shangzhi's persuasion at this time was very tempting to Liu Laozhi.

But this was only temporary. Compared with the turmoil he would face after joining Sima Shangzhi, Liu Laozhi weighed it and felt that it was safer to stand on Wang Mi's side.

The reality is there and there is no room for him to think wrongly. Who of you can beat Wang Mi?

As long as you can, it's okay for me, Liu Laozhi, to follow you. The problem is, you don't want to push me out to be a gunman.

As long as Wang Mi is still the strongest, no matter how the Sima family persuades him, Liu Laozhi will not nod easily.

After working in the military camp for 30 years, he still has this experience.

However, although Liu Laozhi has made up his mind, will the changes in the current situation develop in the direction he expected?
Don't talk about him, not far away in Jiankang City, in the palace, the young Queen Mother Wang Zhenying was tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Humans are very magical animals. In the late Jin Dynasty, people did not know that we and the cats and dogs living around us were actually the same thing in terms of broad classification.

We are all animals, and we all have innate abilities to predict things.

However, many times, before a crisis strikes, our ability to predict is in a sealed state.

Only when danger is close to us, or even extremely close, will this ability to foresee naturally turn on and provide us with clues.

What clue?
Of course it’s life-saving!
