Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 338 Sending troops to represent the country
Quan Yi was restless along the way, fearing that Huan Xi would make a mistake. This was not just to show loyalty. The bond between the two was probably second only to the friendship between Huan Xi and Wang Meng.

Now seeing Huan Xi meet Huan Xi and retreating with all his beard and tail, Quan Yi couldn't help but cry out with emotion:

"Gong Liang."

He opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Huan Xi singing:
"Ziliang, if you are concerned, it's not too late to wait until you return to camp."

Quan Yi had no choice but to swallow the words that had slipped to his lips again.

Huan Xi turned to look at Zhu Xu, smiled at him and nodded:
"Thanks for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xu felt that all the hard work along the way was worth it.

"I will only regret that I came too late."

Huan Xi patted him on the shoulder, glanced at the thirty thousand Hexi Xianbei behind Zhu Xu, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

Everyone was surprised, but Quan Yi asked their doubts on their behalf:
"Why is Mr. Liang laughing?"

Therefore, he must analyze it clearly with everyone and tell everyone that the balance of victory has shifted to his side.

Although Huan Xi was slightly passive in this battle, Murong Ke did not get any advantage. He failed to rob the camp and failed to severely damage Liang Jun. At this time, Huan Xi successfully joined forces with Zhu Xu. There is no doubt that Murong Ke was in A total loss in the overall situation.

This is not Huan Xi using the method of spiritual victory. This is the truth.

After that, he led the soldiers on the road again.

It's just that what is consumed is not the effective strength of both sides, but the strategic reserves of Liang and Yu.

Everyone burst out laughing after hearing his explanation. This was indeed something worth making people happy about.

Murong Ke worked so hard, for what reason? It was not that he wanted to establish victory in one fell swoop before Huan Xi and Zhu Xu's reinforcements joined forces.

The reason why Huan Xi said this was actually to boost morale.

When the reinforcements sent by Wang Meng arrived one after another, Huan Xi continued to hold on to the camp.

Huan Xi returned to the camp and was safe.

With Zhu Xu's reinforcements, Huan Xi could temporarily gain a foothold in Hedong and would not be at an extreme disadvantage in terms of military strength.

The smile on Huan Xi’s face continued:
"This trip out of the camp was in vain, and I was even in danger for a while. I was a little depressed at first, but now I saw the Hexi soldiers brought by Tsering (Zhu Xu), and I woke up.

"The two armies have been at a stalemate for a long time. Today, Cilun came for reinforcements, forcing Murong Ke to take action. Although I returned without success, Murong Ke could only sit back and watch me get reinforcements. From this point of view, for me, this battle is It’s already a victory.”

Murong Ke was experiencing the second battle for Luoyang. The competition between the two sides would no longer be the command of the generals and the bravery and tenacity of the soldiers, but the level of national power. Hand-to-hand combat would also turn into a war of attrition.

In the final analysis this time, it was actually in vain. The image of being invincible and invincible in the past was broken. Huan Xi didn't know what impact this would have on the morale of the soldiers.

Since the battlefield was in Hedong County, the Yu State could not organize manpower to mine the salt ponds, and its finances would inevitably be unable to make ends meet. How could the Fu family afford it.

So far, the effect seems to be pretty good. After Hexi Xianbei came to help, the Liang Army officers and soldiers were full of confidence in Huan Xi's ability to win the final victory of the war.

Huan Xi clapped his hands and said:
"Everyone, it's not too late to go back to camp and celebrate."

Shi Yue received the sentry report in advance and had already prepared meals for the soldiers in the camp.

We left the camp at the beginning of the Chou hour (one o'clock in the morning) and did not return until noon. The soldiers were already so hungry that their chests were touching their backs.

Huan Xi only felt tired. His tense nerves had relaxed after entering the camp, and now he just wanted to have a good sleep. While Huan Xi was soundly sleeping, Fu Jian, who had been sent out of the country by Xie Ai and Deng Xia, finally walked out of the Loop.

The general who was ordered to guard Yanmen Pass led the defenders out of the pass to meet Fu Jian.

Xie Ai and Deng Xia saw it from a distance and stopped there.

"After sending Fu Jian hundreds of miles away, it's time to go back."

Xie Ai said.

Deng Xia shook his head and sighed:
"I'm really unwilling to let him go like this."

Xie Ai smiled and said:
"Too much is too little, how can everything go as planned for the king? Now that you and I have repelled the Yu army and protected the peace of Hetao, it can be said that we have lived up to Duke Liang's trust."

Deng Xia nodded:
"That's all. Even if I get an advantage from Fu Jian this time, if he dares to violate the situation again, I will make it impossible for him to come back."

Xie Ai did not doubt Deng Xia's determination. He asked:

"Ying Yuan (characterized by Deng Xia), the battle between Daliang and the Fu family for the Hetao has come to an end. I expect that Fu Jian will not dare to make a comeback in the short term. What do you think now?"

Deng Xia looked at Xie Ai doubtfully and said:
"We should deploy more soldiers and station them outside Yanmen Pass to threaten Bingzhou in the south, so that Fu Jian does not dare to go south to interfere in the war in Hedong County."

Xie Ai shook his head and said:

"Yanmen Mountain is steep, and the city is now heavily fortified and difficult to conquer. Even if the army should be stationed far outside the pass, Fu Jian only needs to leave some soldiers behind and guard it with generals, and he can sit back and relax."

Deng Xia was not angry when he saw Xie Ai vetoing his idea. He knew that Xie Ai must have had an idea before he specifically asked this question. Deng Xia laughed loudly and said:
"I think Zixiu (characterized by Xie Ai) must have some concerns, so please feel free to give me some advice."

Xie Ai nodded and said:
“There are indeed some ideas that can be considered by Yuan Yuan.

"Fifty thousand officers and soldiers from various departments of the Dai Kingdom followed Fu Jian and retreated into Yanmen Pass. In other words, the Dai Kingdom is now empty.

"Why don't Yingyuan send Baibao and Xianbei to sweep through the country of Dai and plunder its livestock, women and children?

"After hearing the news, all the ministries of the Dai Kingdom will be eager to return aid. Not to mention whether they can take the opportunity to ambush the Dai army. As long as they are forced back into the country, Liang Gong's pressure in Hedong County can be reduced a lot."

Deng Xia's eyes lit up when he heard this. Didn't he just send troops to plunder when the main force of the Dai Kingdom was not at home? For him, this move was not difficult.

Instead of staying outside Yanmen Pass and staring, it would be better to go to Dai Kingdom. Deng Xia didn't believe it. With ten thousand yuan to protect himself, he couldn't run rampant in the Monan Grassland.

As for the most difficult point of sending troops, that is, the problem of guides, it is also not a problem for Liang Jun.

Because Li Guangneng got lost many times after leaving the fortress, he was called a lost man by later generations. The main reason was that the guide he hired was really unreliable.

Previously, the Helan tribe, one of the six major tribes of the Dai Kingdom, moved south, joined the Liang Kingdom, and married Huan Xi. Deng Xia was not worried about the lack of a guide.

The location of the other tribes of Dai Kingdom is probably not a secret to the Helan tribe. With them leading the way, Deng Xia can sweep away Dai Kingdom.

"Okay! Just do what Zixiu said and go deep into Dai country this time. The safety of the Loop will be entrusted to Zixiu."

Deng Xia laughed loudly.

After experiencing this battle, Deng Xia had completely regarded Xie Ai as one of his own.
