Dajin picked up a god of war

Wang Mi is a kind and rational person, obviously, he expects Xie Youdu to last for a while, and it's not all for Xie Minghui's sake.

In fact, Xie Xuan's survival is the key to him personally, and even the entire Xie family.

For a long time, the Beifu soldiers have been controlled by Xie Xuan. He has a high prestige in the army, and also enjoys a high reputation in the court.

Most of the ministers in the imperial court respected Xie Xuan, just because he was good at fighting, but he didn't reach the top level.

He is a child of an aristocratic family, and he understands the theory of their family balance, so he plays very slippery.

Maybe many people will have a question, Xie Xuan is also a good fighter, Wang Mi is also a victorious general, why the ministers can tolerate Xie Xuan, not only tolerate, but also especially respect, the same thing, when it comes to Wang Mi, he Has it become a point of view?

The answer is still very simple, and you can understand it with a little brainstorming.

It is a matter of degree.

Xie Youdu was also able to win from time to time, and he led the Beifu soldiers impressively, but that was only his glamorous side.

On the contrary, behind Xie Youdu's glorious record, there is also some dark side. Although the Beifu soldiers under his leadership can win the battle, they are at a great loss.

After almost every war, the imperial court had to conduct a large-scale conscription to continue to expand Beifu.It is precisely because of the high damage caused by Xie Xuan's battles that the imperial court always had to drive away those hungry and disaster victims, search them out from the deep mountains, and go to Beifu to serve as soldiers.

This, of course, caused many local disturbances.

In addition, the battles commanded by Xie Xuan, although brilliantly written in the history books, were all great victories.

But in fact, it's nothing more than mediocre.

None of the big victories commanded by Xie Xuan was a real siege, they were all small-scale blocking battles.

This can be seen by looking through the history books. Which important military town was captured by Xie Xuan's command?

Have it?

Can you find it?

We searched all over the ancient books, but we couldn't find a trace.

Therefore, it can be seen that Xie Xuan's ability to command operations has an upper limit, and this upper limit is obviously only able to command small-scale wars and block the invading enemy, but it cannot recapture the city already occupied by the opponent .

This upper limit is acceptable to all the ministers in the court.

Looking back at Wang Mi, the gap is obvious.

Ever since Wang Mi took charge of Beifu, the soldiers of Beifu have been in full swing, and now they have taken back five or six important towns in Jiangbei.

Moreover, taking advantage of the civil strife in Diqin and having no time to look east, he seized Yecheng, the ancient northern capital!
This kind of feat, not to mention the current Xie Youdu, even the fledgling Xie Youdu who controls the Beifu cannot do it.

He neither has the ability nor wants to do it.

To put it bluntly, what Wang Mi is doing now is too sharp, which makes the ministers in the court very uneasy.

We are all trash like this, but you Wang Zhiyuan is so capable, you are still so young, when you gain power, what do you plan to do with us trash?

Fortunately, the current Emperor Sima Yao has died unexpectedly. If not, the current Wang Mi might have been mobilized and attacked by the ministers.

Why is this?
Isn't Sima Yao just a decoration?

Can his existence really affect the Jin dynasty?

No, no.

Sima Yao has been established in recent years, and he has been emperor for ten years. He is mature and has a certain brain. He is not a pure hand-off shopkeeper. He still wants to be a good emperor and has certain ambitions.

If Sima Yao was still there, Wang Mi's performance like this would definitely be highly praised by Sima Yao, and he would be drawn to his side and become a gun against the family.

This is tantamount to weakening the power of the aristocratic family itself, but instead strengthening the power of the Sima family. Of course, this cannot be tolerated by the children of the aristocratic family.

Fortunately, Sima Yao passed away at the right time, which made the ministers feel relieved.

Therefore, Wang Mi's brilliance is even more difficult to conceal.

Therefore, he needs Xie Youdu.

With Xie Youdu here, this North Mansion is not controlled by Wang Mi at least in name. Although everyone knows that Xie Youdu has fallen and it is impossible to take charge of the army, as long as Xie Youdu is still there, Wang Mi can only replace him. Father-in-law is in charge of the army in such a escrow capacity.

As long as it is entrusted, for the ministers in the court and the generals in the army, everyone still has room to struggle.

Maybe he can squeeze out Wang Mi and ascend by himself.

However, now that Xie Youdu has passed away, Wang Mi has to face the difficulties of the court ministers single-handedly.

hey hey!
Even God, who is kind to Wang Mi, will never stand by him forever, and he should have been on guard a long time ago.

As for Xie Xuan, to be honest, as a person who has already laid down, he has already created many opportunities for Wang Mi.

It was time for him to rest.

However, it was really not the right time for him to go.

The army led by Wang Mi is still wandering back in Xuzhou City, and the situation in Xuzhou City is still unclear, and a careless operation is likely to continue the war.

The imperial court had urged him to set off and return to Jiankang as soon as possible. Thinking about it, when he returned to Jiankang, he would probably face the fate of letting go of his military power and immediately disbanding on the spot.

Although he didn't disclose these facts to Wuji and Liu Yu, it was obvious that he had already made such preparations.

If he himself is in Jiankang at this time and understands the situation there, he may be able to act quickly and take the lead.

such a pity!
He is hesitating here now, and he can't rush back to Jiankang in a short time. In this way, when he returns, won't the situation be even more unfavorable to him?

Wang Gong and the others will have a tighter control over the government, and Xie An, at this moment, can be regarded as a useful person by his side.

However, compared to Xie Youdu, this person's ability is slightly inferior. Basically, he is a person who obeys Xie An's command and plans how Xie An will do it.

Can't hold up the overall situation.

But now, Wang Mi has completely lost the possibility of fighting back. If he goes back at this time, won't he be beaten on the head by others?
No wonder Xie Tao became anxious like this.

It seemed that Xie An was also very flustered.

"Why did Mr. Xie let you out?"

"Is there something wrong in the capital?"

Xie Tao wiped away his tears, but was stunned: "Wang Shilang thought too much, with Mr. Xie here, those little children dare not make trouble, but when General Xie left, Mrs. Wang was distraught, crying day and night, Mr. Xie Don't worry, that's why I ordered me to venture out of the city and send you the news earlier."

At the same time, Xie Tao delivered a letter written by Xie An to Wang Mi, and Wang Mi weighed the few thin pages as if it weighed a thousand catties.

"Xie Gong said, the specific things, as long as you read this letter, you will understand."

That's it!

That's it!

It turned out that it was not for business, but for personal affairs!

No wonder.

Xie Minghui was Xie An's most beloved grandson, and Xie Xuan was his most valued nephew. Xie Xuan's death had already exhausted Xie An's mind and body.

Originally thought that Xie Xuan was in the prime of life, and when he failed, he could hand over the head of the Xie family to Xie Xuan, and he could rest in peace.

Unexpectedly, God was unfair, and Xie Xuan was summoned first, leaving Xie An alone!

Although Xie Minghui seemed naughty and innocent, she had a deep relationship with her father. Ever since Xie Xuan became seriously ill, she had been in a bad mood.

In the past, Xie Xuan held his breath, but Xie Minghui still had hope, and Wang Mi also took advantage of this time to go to the Northern Expedition.

Now, although the battle was won, the father-in-law passed away.

This is indeed a big blow to Wang Mi.

I always feel that after winning such an important town as Yecheng, but losing a powerful old man, there is a feeling of exchanging one thing for another.

But Xie An's letter was heavy, Wang Mi picked it up, and for a moment didn't know how to open it.

Somewhat apprehensive.

Different from Xie Tao's imagination, he is very clear that the content of this letter is definitely not just about family affairs, the real movements of the court may all be written in this letter.

And what can Wang Mi do?

No!

At least, Wang Mi, who is currently parked outside Xuzhou City, has no countermeasures.

No matter how urgent the situation in Jiankang was, he, Wang Mi, was beyond his reach here. If he wanted to speed up the march of the army, he would have to wait until he entered Yangzhou.

And Xuzhou is the biggest obstacle before Yangzhou!
"Wang Aning wants to release your military power, you need to make an early plan, turn to Jingkou, and don't enter Jiankang!"

hiss!
In Xie An's letter, he did mention some of the current situation at home, but he did not urge Wang Mi to return to the city as soon as possible.

When I just read this, Wang Mi was quite curious.

According to what Xie Tao said, Xie Minghui's current situation is very bad. Of course, he needs him as a husband to go back earlier to comfort her, at least he can be her backbone.

But Xie An didn't urge him, why?

After reading it later, you will understand everything.

Xie An, he didn't want Wang Mi to go back to Jiankang!

Chaos!

It's going to be a mess anyway!

Then it's better to let him completely mess up!
This was Xie An's solution. Wang Mi gripped the letter paper tightly, feeling agitated. This was indeed the Xie Anshi he had seen!

He has such a temper!

Either the clouds are calm and the wind is light, and everyone hangs out together, or the big one is opened, and the table is overturned, so no one can escape!

With the army in hand, I have the world!
When Xie Youdu passed away, the first thing Xie An thought of was Wang Mi who was far away in Jiangbei.

He arranged for someone to take care of Xie Minghui, and several times of earnest encouragement and comfort finally made Xie Minghui's mood slightly better.

Of course, as a bride, at such a critical moment, it is also reasonable to want her husband to come back to accompany her.

However, Wang Mi cannot come back at this time.

But this was a good opportunity to convey news to the outside world. In the name of Xie Minghui, Xie An personally wrote this letter.

The purpose is to prevent Wang Mi from returning to Jiankang!
Once Xie Youdu died, it was obvious that the situation in Jiankang City would change drastically, and Wang Gong, who had always been dissatisfied with Wang Mi's control of Beifu, would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.

He must jump up and do something!
Xie An also grasped the initial movement of Wang Gong's side. He originally planned to wait until Wang Mi stepped into the gate of Jiankang City and then relieve him of his position as the commander of the Beifu.

These things are already in front of us, very urgent tasks.

Faced with Wang Gong's provocation, of course Xie An would not just let him go.Soon he thought of Wang Mi who was far away in the north.

When Xie Xuan was still breathing, Xie An also thought about maintaining harmony as much as possible, and finally took back the important northern town. The morale of the army was at its peak, so how could they be at odds at this time?

Superficial work is always a must.

Unfortunately, it was obvious that Wang Gong did not intend to do so.

Why do you want to save face?

Since the Xie family is weak, isn't this a good opportunity for the Taiyuan Wang family to cheer up?
When Xie Xuan was still breathing, Wang Gong was already ready to move, and his edict was drafted under this background.

When he sent out the imperial edict from Jiankang City, Xie An already had a premonition that a catastrophe was coming.

But at that time, he was still able to hold on.

After all, the soldiers of the Beifu had made great achievements and had no fault at all. As the commander of this army, Wang Mi commanded well and fought bravely. It cannot be said that he was at fault.

Therefore, the calm Xie An still wanted to wait and see the current situation, take a look at Wang Mi's countermeasures, and Wang Gong's next arrangement.

He stabilized his position and held his breath, just to prevent Wang Gong and others from seeing his moves.

As for Wang Gong, although there were many actions in secret, since the edict was issued, it has also stopped a lot.

It seemed that they were waiting for Xie An to make a move before proceeding to the next step.

The two sides fell into a stalemate, Xie An did not move, Wang Gong, apart from handling official duties proudly every day, rarely met Xie An.

Anyway, during the period of Wang Mi's expedition, the Jiankang court was generally stable. As the prime minister, Wang Gong, everything went well. The entire Jin court, the most proud person was him.

What about Xie An?
Although he was uneasy in his heart, he still looked calm and calm on the surface, no different from his previous demeanor.

Both parties were struggling, but at this moment, Xie Xuan, who had been working hard to persevere, finally reached the end of his life.

Unable to hold on any longer, he died.

For Xie An, this was a heavy blow. He had to change his calm style and sent Xie Tao to deliver the news to Wang Mi in advance.

In fact, there are many people who can be sent out, the Xie family has many servants, there are as many people who can deliver letters, and there are as many people with high martial arts skills, the number is innumerable.

However, at this critical moment, Xie An only believed in Xie Tao.

In fact, this decision is too dangerous, if there is a slight mistake, it is possible to fall into a situation of eternal doom!
In the end, all games were lost!
Only Xie Tao is the one he can completely trust. However, this child is too young and has no martial arts at all. How can such a person pass through the siege of several northern cities and finally deliver the news to Wang Mi safely? hand?
Xie An couldn't let go, so he had to find a few more trustworthy guards to follow him all the way north.

Although the arrangement was very thoughtful, in the end, after Xie Tao left the city, Xie An regretted it again.

Is this arrangement appropriate?
