Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 76
In the early morning of the next day, on the bank of the river shrouded in morning fog, the Beifu military tent was still erected in place. The chief general Xie Xuan ordered the Beifu soldiers and the Yuzhou troops led by Huan Yi to rest in place for a day, and set off tomorrow for Xiangyang.

For Xie Xuan's decision, many of his soldiers were puzzled. Liang Yun was beheaded, and Liang Cheng panicked and ran north. Shouldn't he lead troops and horses to pursue them quickly?

As one of Xie Xuan's most valiant generals, Liu Laozhi thought about it again and again, and finally decided to make a suggestion.

"General, why don't we pursue the victory?"

"If you pursued it last night, you will definitely be able to achieve even greater achievements!"

Liu Laozhi was gearing up and eager to try. For him, the battle last night obviously did not achieve his intended purpose.

As a general of the Beifu Army, in the battle last night, Huan Yi, Liu Yu and others actually won the first credit, which made him indignant, and he had to save face no matter what.

Xie Xuan had already changed his armor and changed to his normal clothes, which showed his attitude. Don't think about chasing or something, there is no such idea at all.

"Prison, the pursuit is not within our scope of responsibility. What we need to do now is to repair it with peace of mind and wait for the imperial court's order."

The imperial order?
Liu Laozhi's eyes rolled, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

He archer said: "This subordinate is stupid, please ask the general to call."

His eager eyes have been following Xie Xuan, Xie Xuan looked relaxed, took two chess pieces, and placed them on the edge of the chessboard.

"Laozhi, come, sit down, and play chess with me." Xie Xuan sent an invitation, Liu Laozhi sat down with a stern face, but did not pick up a chess piece.

"General!"

"The soldiers are very fast, and when the court's decree comes down, Liang Cheng and the others have already run away!"

As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuch. Compared with the relaxed Xie Xuan and the anxious Liu Laozhi, Liu Laozhi is more like a general.

"Run and run, Jail, as you see, Liang Cheng flees north, where will he go?"

There was already an endgame on the chessboard in front of him. This was the two days when he was besieged, and Xie Xuan pulled Huan Yi down.

Huan Yi is a man of interest, and his chess skills have long been above Xie Xuan, but when the two played against each other, he saw that Xie Xuan was in decline, so he immediately waved his hand to draw chess, giving Xie Xuan enough face.

"Where else could it be, of course, Xiangyang!"

Liu Laozhi didn't even think about it, so he blurted out, Xie Xuan laughed, Liu Laozhi refused to play with him, so he placed the pieces one by one by himself, imagining where he could break through Huan Yi's chess game.

"Prison, it is Huan Chong's mission to capture Xiangyang, but now he will retire without fighting. This is not the responsibility of our Beifu."

"Now, we don't know the situation in Xiangyang. We only have Huan Shiqian's one-sided words in our ears. How can we act rashly and pursue rashly without knowing the real situation of Xiangyang?"

"Sit and watch Huan Chong save his strength? My Beifu has lost troops and broken generals?"

Xie Xuan's remarks made Liu Laozhi open.

"It turns out that the general is to suppress Huan Chong's forces!"

People can change. In charge of soldiers for many years, Xie Xuan has transformed from a high-spirited general to a high-ranking person who pays attention to balance.

No one can tell whether Xie Xuan's transformation is good or bad.However, Xie Xuan, who has embarked on such a road now, can no longer turn back.

"Prince Zhi, remember that victory on the battlefield represents the interests of the court. Huan Chong is so active this time to consolidate the power of the Huan family in the court."

"Now, he is not ashamed of himself. That is his responsibility. The court will not spare him. Why should we clean up the mess for him?"

"My subordinates understand, but do we just sit and watch the predicament of Xiangyang City?"

"It's been three years since Xiangyang was lost, and now is the best time to get it back!"

Although Liu Laozhi was jealous of the virtuous and capable, he also had a heart to make meritorious deeds. For a general, capturing more cities was meritorious.

He has followed Xie Xuan for many years, and he knows in his heart that Xie Xuan also has a relentless pursuit of achievement. He does not understand why Xie Xuan gave up such a good opportunity?

This is fat delivered to the door. Liang Cheng fled in panic, and his subordinates lacked morale. However, the Jin army carried a great victory and swept the Liang department without a problem.

"You, your mind is still too simple."

Xie Xuan got up and paced slowly in the tent. It seemed like a simple question, but in fact, there were intricate entanglements of interests between the aristocratic families.

For a long time, Xiangyang has been the jurisdiction of the Jingzhou army, that is, the territory of the Huan clan in Qiaojun, which belongs to the iron sheet.It was Huan Chong's responsibility to win or lose Xiangyang.

"The Beifu is going to help Huanchong. If Xiangyang City is captured, will the court hand over Xiangyang to the Beifu?"

Xie Xuan sent out a soul torture, and Liu Laozhi was completely speechless.

To get to the bottom of it, this is the real reason why Xie Xuan has the strength, but he does not move and refuses to pursue.

Everyone knows that the North House represents the interests of the Xie family. Once the North House sends troops, it means that the Xie family will compete for interests.

Xiangyang, on the other hand, is a sphere of influence that the Xie clan cannot compete for. Even if Xie Xuan helps Huan Chong to clear the siege and report to the court, Huan Chong will not be punished, and the emperor Sima Yao, who sits in the center, is absolutely not for the sake of balance of power. The military town of Xiangyang will be handed over to the Xie family.

Xie Xuan reviewed the situation, and several previous experiences have shown that even if Huan Chong retreated from Xiangyang many times, delaying the fighter and losing the important town of Xiangyang, the court did not deal with him severely.

It's not that the emperor of the Sima family didn't know what Huan Chong did. If he violated the law, he should be severely punished, but...

The Sima family straightened up and strangled Huan Chong to death?

Is the Huan clan of Qiaojun, who is self-respecting, easy to provoke?

The Sima family survived in Jiang Zuo, relying on the Dafa of balancing.

In the court, although General Wei Xie An has a detached status, the cunning Sima family will never let the Xie family dominate. For this place in Xiangyang, for the Xie family, the more they pay, the more they will fall into a thankless situation. the trap.

Liu Laozhi sighed, and finally understood Xie Xuan's "good and hard" intentions, and complained: "It is better to rest in Jingling, and Xiangyang will not go to rescue."

In Liu Laozhi's little head, the little abacus was crackling. Last night, he was in charge of cleaning the battlefield. Those captured enemy baggage and loot were still stored in the Beifu tent.

Nominally, these baggage belonged to several troops defending Jingling, but Liu Laozhi was an iron rooster who could only go out and not enter.

The baggage got into his belly, so he could never vomit it out. Taking advantage of the opportunity of repairing at Jingling, Liu Laozhi planned to distribute all the seized baggage and put it into the hands of the soldiers. Jingling defenders and Huan Yi just wanted to. Can't make trouble.

"Who said I didn't plan to rescue Xiangyang?" Xie Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Laozhi regretfully: This subordinate is remarkable for his loyalty and bravery. It's his political literacy... It's really...

Prison Laughs dumbfounded. You can tell the truth, what else can I say?

"What the general meant was..."

Guessing the meaning is one of the necessary skills of a subordinate, but Liu Laozhi can't figure out the correct position when he tries to figure it out.

"I didn't say it earlier. Listen to the court's intentions. Only if the court wants us to go can we go. Otherwise, how would the court know of our favor?"

The old Sima family was really messed up. The dignified family still wanted to be grateful to the family of the powerful ministers. There is no doubt that such a thing will be slapped with a knife in which dynasty it is placed.

But in the Great Jin, the Sima family would not have such concerns. They were really grateful to generations of powerful ministers who were willing to suppress their desire to usurp the throne and let their Sima family continue to sit on the throne and eat vegetarian meals.
