"You came out, what about them?"

"Those guards?"

"These people can't pretend to be beggars and sneak out of the city!"

Those people's bodies are so strong, they look murderous, no matter how they dress up, they don't look like beggars who can't eat!
Xie Tao shook his head and immediately denied it.

"Of course not."

"They couldn't dress up as beggars, so they had to find another job. At that time, there was a group of actors performing Baixi in Xuzhou City. They had some things, such as high ladders and iron balls. We spent some money on them. , Borrowed here, asked the guards to dress up a little, dressed up as members of the circus troupe, took these heavy things, waited all the way out of the city, and played with them, just like that, they all got out!"

"Hundreds of circuses?"

"It's really you!"

Not to mention, a Xie Tao, dressed as a beggar, can sneak out of the city casually, and coupled with a miraculous Baixi troupe, it is really not easy to arouse the suspicion of the city guards.

The Baixi Troupe is equivalent to a modern circus. Most of the members in it are possessed of magical powers. They are either Hercules, or they can perform ancient tricks. In short, they are similar to Jianghu Taoists.

The strong men around Xie Tao, from the appearance, are indeed very prominent and eye-catching.

If you put on the clothes of ordinary people, walk on the street, and just look at their steps, it may make people feel very strange.

But it's different to dress up as jugglers. These people have been characterized as marginalized people in society, with uncertainties and a large number of people.

Relatively speaking, it is not that easy for the government to control them. As long as they do not cause trouble, generally speaking, they will not pay much attention.

What's more, now that the north and the south are still at war, it is very possible for a wandering group like Baixi Troupe to live a life of wandering around.

The people in the city also need some entertainment, and the Baixi Troupe can just bring them some happiness. As long as they can mix in it, the strong physique and fierce eyes of the guards will no longer be so suspicious.

"However, the situation is so chaotic now, is there still Baixi Troupe in Xuzhou City?"

"Can they still perform?"

The only thing that Wang Mi couldn't figure out was here. Normally, it is impossible for Xuzhou not to have heard of the fall of Yecheng.

That Fu Fei didn't say to speed up the defense, but he was still in the mood to do entertainment work in the city.

Where did Xie Tao know the key to this, and he nodded solemnly: "Yes!"

"There are indeed hundreds of circus troupes, and the city is well-ordered, not chaotic at all. After we entered the city, we were shocked when we saw the situation in Xuzhou City. We thought that strangers would not be allowed to enter the city long ago, but Unexpectedly, no one cares about this at all.”

"When strangers enter the city, they can move freely in the city. There are no guards who will ask questions. We also asked the members of the Baixi Troupe who borrowed from us. They also said that in the past six months, the city of Xuzhou has been peaceful. There is no sign of war."

...

"When I entered the city, no one inspected the official certificate. It was only when I left the city that someone inspected it. But because I was dressed as a beggar, and the guards were dressed as circus troupes, I didn't belong to Xuzhou City. The soldiers guarding the city let us out."

The defense in the city is so lax?
This was really beyond Wang Mi's expectation.

"In your opinion, what is the state of the soldiers in the city? Is their morale high?"

Since they still stayed in Xuzhou City for a while, it should be right to ask him about these things.

Xie Tao thought about it seriously, and at this time, Zeng Jing also returned to the big tent and brought food.

Xie Tao hurried on his way, it was already late at night, and he probably didn't have time to eat.

"Captain Zeng, thank you so much!"

"I'm so hungry!"

As soon as Xie Tao said this, his belly seemed to know his mind, and it gurgled loudly, which fully showed that he was indeed hungry for a long time.

He wasn't that hungry at first, but when he saw Wang Mi, it was like seeing a relative, and suddenly he couldn't hold on anymore.

Ever since he came out of Yangzhou and entered the boundary of Xuzhou, Xie Tao didn't have a good meal. He was busy and nervous, so how could he care about eating?
The child was so hungry that Wang Mi was too embarrassed to criticize him any more, so he had to wait for him to eat a few bites first to fill his stomach before continuing to ask questions.

And Zeng Jing, who was standing aside, was amused, thinking that he had done something great, but in fact, Wang Mi was feeling uncomfortable!

It was a good topic, and it was about to get to the point, but it was interrupted by this fellow.

Xie Tao was so hungry that he just lowered his head to eat, and couldn't think of other things, purely forgetting about Xuzhou City.

What a waste of time!

However, Wang Mi is not idle.

Although the information provided by Xie Tao cannot reflect the real defense situation in Xuzhou City positively, it is still useful.

Since the city is in good order and the lives of the people have not changed much, this shows that Fu Fei is not prepared to fight.

Especially when fighting against the Jin army.

If this is the case, not to mention the mobilization of soldiers, at least the city defense buildings in the city must be reinforced.

Ditches, fences, everything that needs to be done should be laid out without further delay.

Don't look at Fu Pi in Ye City as a waste, but even this waste knows that Fu Pi strengthened the defense of Ye City while Murong Chui's tribe was still gathering outside the city, and all kinds of equipment Prepare a lot.

To be honest, if it wasn't for his sudden whim to call the Jin army to disrupt the situation, the Xianbei people alone might not be able to defeat Yecheng.

The Jin army was able to win quickly not because their physical fitness was much better than that of the Qin soldiers, but because they had advanced firearms to help them out.

If it weren't for the chug chu firearms, no one in Yecheng would be able to say for sure.

Now that Ye City has fallen, such breaking news must have reached Xuzhou City. How could the ambitious Fu Fei, who sits in Xuzhou, remain indifferent?
How could you not make any preparations?

Could it be that, as Li Dalian said, he just wanted to rely on Xuzhou City to have both sides?

...

Although there is such a possibility, it should not be taken lightly.After all, Fu Fei is still from Di.

Even if he had to balance left and right, he would still favor his own people in the end.

Once there is any turmoil on Diqin's side, if he can still make a few thumps, I believe Fu Fei will definitely abandon the Jin army.

"Xiang'er, Fu Fei, the defender of Xuzhou City, do you know any news?"

Seeing that Xie Tao was finally full, Wang Mi asked directly.

Rather than waiting for the little doll to get to the point by himself, it would be better for him to point out the key points himself, which would save time.

Xie Tao was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't know Fu Fei at all, and he never heard anyone mention this name when he was in Xuzhou City.

But since Wang Mi called him the general of Xuzhou, he must be a great general.

Such a famous general is still guarding the fortress of Xuzhou. Xie Tao has stayed in the city for two days, but he has never heard of his name. Does this also explain a problem.

"Wang Shilang, I have never heard of this person."

"I stayed in Xuzhou city for two days. During the period, in order to collect more information, I also talked a lot with those beggars. I never heard them mention this person."

The ancient cities are very different from the modern ones, especially the cities before the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The central city area was very small, and outside the city gates, there were almost deserted hills with no human habitation.

A limited number of people often live in a small city, and the speed of news spread between each other is very fast.

Generally more accurate.

If everything is as Xie Tao said, and he also carefully inquired about the situation in Xuzhou City, no one mentioned Fu Fei, maybe it really means that Fu Fei did not make any moves.

"Then, can you see if a large number of troops have assembled in Xuzhou City? Or is there something to strengthen the city defense?"

"no!"

"I didn't see it either." Xie Tao was very sure.

Wang Mi's expression finally became a little more relaxed. If all the information he provided was true, then it might be possible to negotiate peace when he goes to Xuzhou City tomorrow.

"Is Wang Shilang worried that Fu Fei will send troops to stop the Jin army?"

Wang Mi paused here, but Xie Tao suddenly said these words, with this kind of opinion, it can be said to be mature.

Since he can see through this point, there is no need to worry that he is a child and he still doesn't understand many things, so he can discuss it with him.

"That's the concern."

"Since the army wants to return to Jiankang quickly, Xuzhou is a hurdle that cannot be crossed and must be passed. However, we still don't know anything about the situation in Xuzhou City. Since you came out of Xuzhou City, you can I want to get some news through you."

"This is still the second thing. The most important thing is that I want to find out what Xuzhou city guard Fu Fei thinks. If he sees our army, will he fight back?"

"After all, he is still a Di person after all, and it is impossible to remain indifferent to the Jin army's victory."

Xie Tao put down the porcelain bowl, and shook his hand seriously.

He had other ideas about this matter.

"Why should Wang Shilang be worried?"

"Let me see, Fu Fei won't do anything to the Jin army."

"Where did you say that?"

...

How confident are you?
Could it be that Xie Tao is hiding something in his mind that he hasn't told him about Xuzhou?

Wang Mi stared at Xie Tao with concern, and Xie Tao seemed like a little adult, with his arms crossed and his awe-inspiring presence.

"My Jin army came to Xuzhou not to occupy Xuzhou. As long as Fu Fei knows this and makes a promise, I believe he will not act rashly."

"Our army came to Xuzhou this time just to make excuses. As long as Fu Fei can amplify the army and return to Jiankang, so what if he continues to control Xuzhou?"

"For our army, Yecheng has already been taken, and several cities along the route have also expressed their submission. Strictly speaking, Xuzhou is here, and its position is also very awkward, and it is no different from Gucheng."

"Now, my army is passing through the border, but I don't intend to start a war with Fu Fei. Fu Fei is in the throat of Xuzhou, which is already very dangerous. The north is shaking, and the southern border is now firmly in my Dajin's hands. , if Fu Fei is smart, he should stand still."

"If he doesn't know the person, wouldn't it be easy for the army to start from Jingkou, cross Yangzhou, and attack Xuzhou?"

This……

This this……

Xie Tao in front of him is no longer a child, but a shrewd and wise general!

"I didn't expect you to have such vision at such a young age!"

"It's incredible!"

"It's really amazing!"

Although Wang Mi didn't comment too much on Xie Tao's words, but a few words have already shown his attitude.

Frankly speaking, if it wasn't for Xie Tao, it's just that Wang Mi didn't think of this level.

Xuzhou, Yangzhou, the distance between the two places is very close. Today, in the north of Xuzhou, there are not many important towns around it to rely on, and only Xuzhou is left.

As for the south of Xuzhou, it is obvious that most of the territory belongs to Dajin.

Even if Fu Fei holds Xuzhou City firmly in his hands, it seems that it is difficult to shake the overall situation. Besides, the Jin army's transit is not necessarily a bad thing for Fu Fei.

"When our army arrived at the city of Xuzhou, we didn't want to fight Fu Fei. We only wanted to cross the border. Fu Fei was originally hanging outside Diqin. The most important thing at the moment is to preserve his strength. If we don't fight him, his strength will be reduced." It is naturally a good thing for Fu Fei to be preserved to the greatest extent."

"That's right." Xie Tao also agreed.

From the beginning, he thought so.

In fact, it is normal to think so.

In the troubled times at the end of the Jin Dynasty, the guards who guarded the important border towns often had different ideas from the guards who guarded Chang'an and Luoyang, those cities in the hinterland that were difficult to be invaded.

Those important towns in the hinterland of Diqin often shoulder more important missions, and they also attach more importance to keeping the core of Diqin.

Once the enemy troops hit these cities, it means that Diqin is in a critical situation, and the defenders of these cities will definitely fight back, desperate.

And in a place like Xuzhou, when there is no wind or waves on weekdays, it is inevitable that there will be frequent fights and small conflicts.

And it is located on the border, and it is very easy to be recruited by the enemy. Once the situation between the two armies is tense, it is very common to run away with the city.

Therefore, for Fu Fei, the most economical way now is to let the Jin army cross the border and pretend to be blind.

Otherwise, start playing?
Can you beat it?

Not to mention how much assistance Di Qin can give him, but the strength of this Jin army should not be underestimated, and some areas adjacent to Xuzhou are already under the control of the Jin Dynasty.

Once he angered them and charged across the river, Fu Fei would only have bad fruit, and absolutely no good fruit to eat!
Thinking about it this way, maybe the situation really isn't that complicated.Until tomorrow, everything will be answered.

Xie Tao was young, and soon after eating and drinking, he couldn't hold on anymore. Wang Mi arranged him on his own bed, and he fell asleep without a few minutes.

Wang Mi just lit a few more candles, and when he turned around, he was already asleep!
It really is young and ignorant, no matter how anxious and critical the situation is, for children, even if their own lives are endangered, their panic can only last for such a short period of time.

Optimism is, after all, their nature.
