Chapter 440: The Emperor's First Battle Conquers the World
Walking out of Zhu Xu's camp, Murong Chui didn't say a word, and walked directly towards the edge of the river, while Murong Lan followed behind him step by step, the brightly lit camp gradually fell backwards, and the human voice gradually became low, only the sound of flowing water that was getting louder and louder gradually became clearer.
Murong Chui stopped, stood by the river, and said indifferently: "You guys retreat first, be vigilant around, no one will be within a hundred steps." ”
In the surrounding snow, more than a dozen killers dressed in white and masked with black cloth suddenly came out, all of them saluted Murong Chui's chest, and then quickly disappeared into the thick night, leaving only the two brothers and sisters, still standing by the river.
Murong Lan sighed softly: "This year's snow came exceptionally early, but now, it has stopped, and the river that should have been sealed has thawed at this time, big brother, don't you think this portends something?" ”
Murong Chui said coldly: "The river is thawing, and the Jin army can just use the river to transport troops and transfer food, which is beneficial to them, and in a few days, this will become the venue for the decisive battle between Qin and Jin." And after the snow melts, it becomes water, and Hu Bin can last a few more days, Alan, do you know why I want you to go to the Jin army camp this time? ”
Murong Lan gritted her teeth: "The eldest brother will never let me go to the camp because he wants to create an opportunity for the younger sister to meet Liu Yu." ”
Murong Chui smiled slightly, turned around, and looked at Murong Lan's beautiful face: "Why not?" ”
Murong Lan's face changed, and she lowered her head: "I don't have the face to see him now, even if I see him, maybe he will kill me directly." ”
Murong Chui shook his head: "You think Liu Yu is too simple, and you think Xie Xuan is too simple. The more this happens, the more they need our help. ”
Murong Lan's brows furrowed: "We betrayed others, why do they still need our help?" ”
Murong Chui said calmly: "That betrayal is within the acceptable range of both parties, Xie Xuan only let Liu Yu go to Shouchun, which proves that he didn't plan to hold this place from the beginning, and the reinforcements sent later are Hu Bin, not Liu Gaozhi's troops, which shows that this rescue is just a show for the emperor of the Jin State and those families in Jiankang City." ”
"After we helped the Qin army take Shouchun, Xie Xuan did not send people to the Qin State to disclose the relationship with us, let alone execute our subordinates there, which shows that Xie Xuan still left the possibility of continuing contact with us, after all, we have common interests."
Murong Lan gritted her teeth: "But no matter what, we destroyed the alliance first, and almost killed Liu Yu, how could they believe us again at this time?" ”
Murong Chui's knife-like face was wrinkled: "They can only believe us, because within the Qin State, only me and Yao Chang can help them, and this time I strongly persuaded Zhu Xu to send an envoy to Jin Ying, which is to give him the clearest signal, that is, we are still allies on a chariot." ”
Murong Lanqi said: "Zhu Xu? Is it still possible for him to have his heart set on the Kingdom of Jin? ”
Murong Chui sneered: "Don't look at Zhu Xu, he seems to be grateful to the Heavenly King, but he even drank the tea from the original Jin Kingdom, how can this kind of homeland be forgotten because of this kindness?" If he really didn't want to serve the Qin State and observe the festival at home, it would prove that he was grateful to Fu Jian, and the two would not help each other, but now that he was willing to take the initiative to envoy to the Jin camp, there was only one possibility, he would reveal everything he knew to the Jin State. ”
Murong Lan breathed a long sigh of relief: "So the eldest brother deliberately revealed the military situation of the Qin army to him?" However, if the Jin army really knew that Fu Jian was coming, he was afraid that he would be so frightened that he would flee without a fight. ”
Murong Chui smiled slightly: "If Fu Jian really brought hundreds of thousands of follow-up troops over, maybe Xie Xuan would really retreat, but now in order to grab merit, he threw down the follow-up troops, and only brought a few thousand light horsemen to confront the Jin army, and it was only the current 300,000 Qin army vanguards, this is also the only chance for the Jin army, if it is delayed any longer, there is really no possibility of victory." ”
Murong Lan sighed: "Even if there are only 300,000, the Beifu Army plus Hu Bin's troops are only about 80,000, with one against four, does it really have a chance to win?" This time, the eldest brother's troops are still on the way, and they can't help the Jin army. ”
Murong smiled and waved his hand: "Alan, you don't understand the art of war, there is no essential difference between 300,000 and 80,000 in a big war of this level." The battlefield is only dozens of miles wide, and the two armies can be lined up for about twenty miles in front, the difference is just the thickness, although the Qin army is numerous, but the multi-ethnic army, the orders are different, the language is difficult to understand, and the more people there are, the more difficult it is to command. ”
"On the contrary, it is the Jin army, among the 80,000 people, the Beifu army accounts for more than 30,000, how powerful this army is, you know better than me, if they attack desperately as the vanguard, then the Qin army will not be able to stop it, absolutely unstoppable."
A hint of excitement flashed in Murong Lan's eyes: "Can the Jin army really defeat the Qin army head-on through an offensive battle?" But Shouchun City is still in the hands of the Qin army, so it's not so easy to win. ”
Murong Chui said with a straight face: "This time it's not a battle to defend the city, nor is it a battle of thousands of defenders against tens of thousands of besieging troops, it will drag on for a long time." This decisive battle is that hundreds of thousands of people are fighting in the wilderness, and it will be able to decide the outcome in one day, and determine the general trend of the whole world, if the Qin army is defeated, there will be no chance to retreat into the city. Zhu Xu has been a general for many years and knows the art of war, he understands these truths, so once he sees Xie Xuan, he will definitely ask him to take the initiative, throw away any concerns, and directly defeat the Qin army, and more importantly, defeat Fu Jian! ”
Murong Lan nodded: "I have known this since the eldest brother designed Fu Jian to come to the front line in person. But now I still don't quite understand, it's enough to defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin army, why do you have to defeat Fu Jian? ”
Murong Chui smiled slightly: "This is a matter of people's hearts and military hearts." If Fu Jian did not personally fight and command, even if his troops were defeated, the Qin State would have felt that there would be a chance, and as long as another good general was selected next time, he would definitely be able to turn defeat into victory. Just like Ku Nan and Peng Chao, their tens of thousands of troops were all defeated and wiped out, but like no one else, no one in the Qin State really doubted that the Qin army was not the opponent of the Jin army. ”
"But Fu Jian is different, he is the king of Qin, the de facto monarch, if the most elite Qin army troops he led are defeated in the front, then no one in the world will think that he has the ability to dominate the country and is the son of destiny, whether he can survive this battle or not, there will definitely be rebellions everywhere, only in this way, our Murong Dayan's opportunity will really come."
