In 383 A.D., Fu Jian, the third emperor of the former Qin, after successfully pacifying the Hu regime in the north, with the growing strength of the former Qin Empire, decided to lead a joint army composed of armed forces of various ethnic groups, with a total of 600,000 infantry and 270,000 cavalry, known as one million iron armor to the outside world, and marched southward, intending to crusade against the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south and completely unify the world.

The former Qin army was extremely strong, and it was able to "throw the whip and cut off the stream", and this murderous coming from the north suddenly frightened the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the public.

At the critical moment, a pivotal role in the Eastern Jin Dynasty stood up, and he was Xie An, the representative of the wealthy clan.

Xie An had lived in seclusion in Dongshan for a long time, and his friends Wang Xizhi and Xu Xun were free to live in the rivers and lakes, but in order to save the country, he still chose to "make a comeback" and served as the behind-the-scenes commander of the Jin army, and appointed his nephew Xie Xuan as the vanguard, leading 80,000 Beifu soldiers who had been trained hard for seven years and had great combat effectiveness to face Fu Jian.

At the same time, Huan Chong, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, led 100,000 Jingzhou troops under his command to raid the Central Plains defense line of the former Qin to the north to contain Fu Jian's army and reduce the pressure on the downstream battlefield.

With the support of friendly troops, Xie Xuan, the commander of the Beifu Army, sent his fierce general, Liu Gaozhi, the prime minister of Guangling, to Luojian with 5,000 elite soldiers from his headquarters, and took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the vanguard troops of the former Qin, and achieved a great victory in Luojian, officially opening the prelude to the war.

The soldiers of the Northern Mansion of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who won the first place, were not afraid of the strong and aggressive soldiers and horses of the former Qin, and confronted the enemy on the shore of the river.

At that time, Fu Jian had more than 800,000 troops in his hands, while Xie Xuan, who was across the river from him, had less than 80,000 siblings, and the two sides were in a disparity of ten to one. Almost no one in the Eastern Jin Dynasty court was optimistic about this forty-year-old general, and they all agreed that the battle would be lost.

However, to everyone's surprise, Xie Xuan, the commander of the Beifu army, with the support of his uncle Xie An, even used clever tricks to confront the former Qin army for nearly a month, taking advantage of Fu Jian's decision-making mistake and vainly trying to lure the Jin army to cross the river by retreating, he instigated the general Zhu Xu and others to disrupt the formation of the former Qin army, and bravely attacked, with only 80,000 Beifu soldiers, broke up the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop, and defeated the invincible Fu Jian army.

In this battle, the former Qin army was annihilated and fled with a total of more than 700,000 soldiers and horses, but only the 30,000 troops of Murong Chui of the Xianbei tribe were intact and retreated.

The news of the victory came back to Jiankang, and the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty rejoiced. The vast Jiangnan region not only ushered in a rare peaceful situation since the "Five Hu Chaohua", but the Xie family also reached the pinnacle of glory.

After the great victory, Xie An and Xie Xuan's uncle and nephew became famous, and their prestige in the government and the opposition reached its peak. And another important member of the Xie family, Xie Shi, the younger brother of Xie An, who also participated in the Battle of Weishui, was also promoted to the general of the Chinese army, Shang Shuling, and was named the Duke of Nankang County.

Since then, the Xie family, who lives in Wuyi Lane in Jiankang City, has become the leader of the wealthy family in Jiangzuo, and the scenery is unlimited for a while.

Xie An, who is vast and wise, of course understands the truth of "high merit and shocking the master", and knows more about the urine nature of the Sima royal family's "birds hide their bows" and "unload the mill and kill donkeys", so it didn't take long for him to resign from all his official positions again and go to Guangling to live in seclusion.

Before leaving, Xie An also specially instructed his younger brother Xie Shi and nephew Xie Xuan not to covet their positions of power, try to keep a low profile, and stay away from court disputes.

However, it is a pity that Xie Shi did not take his brother's advice seriously, and blindly wanted to maintain the glory of the family and become the mainstay of the Kuangfu Jin Dynasty, so he not only did not accept Xie An's suggestion to retreat bravely, but also went further, and joined forces with the Wang family, who was also a wealthy family in Jiangzuo, to fight against Sima Daozi, the younger brother of the Eastern Jin Emperor and the powerful Huiji King Sima Daozi.

Xie Xuan listened to his uncle Xie An. He didn't want to enter politics and just wanted to lead the army, so he resigned to the imperial court

The position of the general, as the commander of the Beifu army, is still dedicated to training the elite of the Beifu, waiting for the opportunity to go on the Northern Expedition and recover the lost territory in the Central Plains.

However, unfortunately, not long after the end of the Battle of Weishui, Xie Xuan, who was still in the prime of life, suddenly became seriously ill and was bedridden all of a sudden.

In this way, the military power of the Beifu soldiers was gradually controlled by his generals Liu Gaozhi, He Qian, Zhu Xu and others.

Through the war against the former Qin, it is not difficult to see that the elite of Beifu is rare in the world, and whoever can control this force will have the confidence to speak in the court.

For this reason, whether it was Sima Daozi, who controlled the government in Jiankang, or Heng Chong, a general who lived far away in Jingzhou, or Wang Gong, a Zhongshu Ling who was preparing to compete with King Huiji, they all hoped to take advantage of Xie Xuan's inability to take charge of the army and win over the leaders and generals under his command to join Dao's own camp.

Because Wang Gong is the elder brother of Queen Wang Fahui and the head of the Wang family in Wuyi Lane, he has formed a natural alliance with Xie Shi. Xie Shi once patted his chest and assured Wang Gong that the Beifu soldiers would always be surnamed Xie. Even if the elder brother Xie An resigned and lived in seclusion, and the nephew Xie Xuan was bedridden for a long time, as the current head of the Xie family, it was impossible for Liu Gaozhi and others not to buy his face.

However, Xie Shi still overestimated himself and underestimated those generals after all.

Whether it is Liu Gaozhi, He Qian, or Zhu Xu, the only people they really admire and obey are Xie An and Xie Xuan. In addition, then you can only have milk to be a mother.

Insert a sentence, the book reading app I have been using recently, there are many book sources, all books, and fast updates!

Seeing that the coach Xie Xuan's body was getting weaker and weaker, and he was no longer able to take charge of the Beifu army, several leaders made their own small calculations.

Liu Gaozhi was the first to jump out, and without hesitation, he took refuge in Sima Daozi, the king of Huiji.

The reason why he did this is also very simple. After Xie Xuan, who can become the successor commander of the Beifu soldiers depends on a sentence from the imperial court. And at the moment, the most qualified person to speak on behalf of the imperial court is, of course, the core figure of the imperial family - Sima Daozi. Showing loyalty to the king of Huiji, the Shuai Yin of Beifu has fallen into his own pocket.

Seeing that his former colleagues were playing flowers, He Qian, who was an old qualified general in Beifu, was not willing to be lonely. He couldn't follow behind Liu Gao, and he didn't want to deal with those Wuyi Lane scholars who were above the top, so he turned to the Jingzhou military department, and secretly frowned with the general of the Che Cavalry and Shi Huan, the assassin of Jingzhou.

Zhu Xu, who made great contributions in the Battle of Weishui, joined the Beifu soldiers after the war, and he also had 10,000 or 20,000 old troops under him, and his strength should not be underestimated. He didn't have as many ways as Liu Jiaozhi and Hu Bin, plus he had surrendered to the former Qin, so he could only continue to rely on the support of the Xie family, so he was closest to Xie Shi Wang Gong.

And there are still many generals like the three of them in the Northern Mansion.

As a result, the elite of Beifu, who were originally brave and fearless, outnumbered, and regarded honor as more important than life, quickly fell apart not long after their soul characters left one after another.

The Beifu soldiers who captured Comrade Zhao Liang back to the camp were under the command of Liu Gaozhi, and they were also the most powerful Jingkou Corps among the troops in Beifu at present.

Zhao Liang was taken all the way back to the barracks, gradually sobered up and calmed down from the state of confusion, and decided to temporarily put down the matter of the pilot plane and Yang Fan and Zhang Lei, and concentrate on dealing with the troubles in front of him.

When he was on the road just now, he pretended to have a casual chat with the soldiers next to him, and used his mind reading skills to find out the general situation: last night, a very important prisoner escaped from the Jingkou camp, and the main general Liu Jiaozhi was extremely concerned about this, and sent people and horses to search around overnight, which made him, an unlucky guy who had just arrived in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, inexplicably arrested by the other party.

Since these warriors have limited knowledge, Zhao Liang can't find much valuable information from them, but as long as he knows that this matter has nothing to do with him,

And he was relieved. At the moment, there is only one thing to worry about, and that is the question of the origin of his identity.

Just now, Zhao Liang was in a hurry, and reported the fictitious identity on the crossing mission briefing to the officers of the Beifu soldiers. That false origin, if it were placed in normal times, it might be easy to get by, but now that the other party is arresting the fugitives, the suspicious people who are arrested must be carefully screened, once it is found that he deliberately lied, the situation may not be good.

As the saying goes, good does not lead to bad spirits. What Zhao Liang was worried about happened.

When he was escorted back to the Jingkou camp, the chief secretary of the army did not simply look for the fugitive, but carefully interrogated everyone who was arrested.

Zhao Liang didn't die before, and he didn't know how to pick a place when he reported his home, not to say that he was a person from Zhaojia Village in Jingkou, and he was suddenly caught by the master who had been stationed in the Jingkou area for a long time.

Seeing that it was about to be cool, Zhao Liang's peeping Dafa was powerful again, and he found an opportunity to lie in the other party's heart in time.

It turned out that there were more than a dozen people who were arrested at the same time as him, most of whom were ordinary people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and their identity and background were very clear. But the other three or four guys were a little different from those guys, because they were refugees from Huaishui and Surabaya.

Due to the chaos and flames, there are large areas of extinct people and ruins in the vast Huaisi area.

Those places were the battlefields of repeated battles between the northern regime and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so the people were displaced, the people were struggling to make a living, and some people who were unwilling to leave their homeland, although they hid in the mountains and forests, luckily saved their lives, but their identities became very embarrassing.

They were neither subjects of the Hu regime in the north, nor were they under the administrative jurisdiction of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so they were called exiles by the governments on both sides at the same time.

Zhao Liang learned this information, and quickly changed his words, explaining to the master bookkeeper, saying that he was actually a Huaisi exile, and he originally wanted to make up an identity so that he could eat in a prosperous metropolis like Jiankang or Huiji, but he didn't expect that before he crossed the river, he was arrested by officers and soldiers.

Hearing him say this, the master bookkeeper immediately believed a little. Because situations like this happen from time to time every month, the Eastern Jin Dynasty government has long been surprised. In addition, Zhao Liang's clothes look plausible, and his hairstyle is quite peculiar, so it is absolutely reliable to say that he is a homeless.

So, after careful consideration, the chief bookkeeper decided not to embarrass this poor fellow any longer, and together with the other four homeless people, he released the camp of Jingkou and left them to fend for themselves.

Zhao Liang walked out of the camp gate, politely declined the kindness of his fellow homeless people to invite him to Jiankang together, and walked towards the south alone. At this moment, his heart began to think about the safety of Yang Fan and Zhang Lei.

Fuck, what kind of life am I? Zhao Liang sighed secretly: All kinds of strange things have caught me up! The crossing plane was destroyed, the whereabouts of the team members were unknown, and he lost communication with the headquarters, God, can it be more miserable? If you want to kill me directly with a five-thunder bang!

The more Zhao Liang thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, he sat on the side of the road, looking around blankly, and almost shed tears. But suddenly, something hard slammed his waist, instantly reminding him.

That's right, I still have a small black box, I can contact the dim faction to help!

Zhao Liang suddenly saw hope again: if he could find the disciples of the Dark Sect of this era and let them help, he might be able to find the traces of Yang Fan and Zhang Lei soon. At the very least, it won't be as isolated as it is now.

Thinking of this, Zhao Liang hurriedly looked around, and when he saw that there was no one on the road, he put his hand into his arms, intending to take out the small black box and contact the head of the dim faction.

However, what Zhao Liang didn't know was that in the dense forest not far from him, at this time, several pairs of eyes were firmly watching his every move, as if they were shadows in the dark night, and it was hidden and imperceptible.
