Zhen Wang Gong's face changed: "Is it really so urgent?" ”

Before his words fell, suddenly there was an urgent sound of footsteps outside the teahouse, and Wang Gong's brows furrowed: "Don't you see that I am discussing with your guests?" Still not quitting? ”

A servant knelt down at the door and said in a low voice: "I just received the Tang report, Xiangyang is lost, and Your Majesty has summoned the young lord to the palace to discuss urgently!" ”

The tea bowl that Huan Xuan had just picked up in his hand fell to the ground with a "horn", and the tea soup splashed everywhere, dyeing his good satin clothes in a mess, but he didn't realize it, and muttered: "It seems that I should go back to Jingzhou." ”

Chang'an, Liangyi Palace.

Fu Jian is in a good mood, since Wang Meng's death, it is rare to see him laugh like this, the whole palace, echoing his laughter, just this laughter, now except for a few guards and palace slaves, only Fu Rong, who is sitting opposite him, can hear it. Since Wang Meng's death, Fu Rong has inherited his position as a teacher and has become Fu Jian's first choice for discussing state affairs.

Fu Jian held a Tang newspaper in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, it's really good, Murong Chui is really powerful, this inner city of Xiangyang is still broken for him." From beginning to end, Huan Chong's 100,000 troops did not dare to come to the rescue, Ah Rong (Fu Rong is Fu Jian's younger brother, he doesn't call him an official in private, he calls him like this) Ah, do you still oppose me sending Murong Chui to attack Xiangyang? ”

Fu Rong sighed and shook his head: "Brother Wang, this is what the younger brother is afraid of. Xiangyang is just a border city, and the Jin State has not made every effort, and this time we took the Xianbei soldiers as the vanguard to capture it, and the victory is not happy, the minister still has to remind you, don't forget the last words of the prime minister, you must not start a full-scale war with the Jin State! ”

A trace of unhappiness flashed on Fu Jian's face: "Things will change, at that time, Jing Luo said that he could not start a full-scale war with the Jin State, which meant that the monarchs and ministers of the Jin State were united and united, and we had no chance to take advantage of it, but judging from the war this time, the Jin State was not as strong as he said." Internally, there is already a problem with them. ”

Fu Rong's heart sank suddenly, and he said: "Brother Wang, it's dangerous if you think so, Huan Chong didn't move this time, he was just afraid of the strength of our army, he didn't have any loss except for losing Xiangyang, and it was even possible that he wanted to lure our army deep into the Jiangling area where the water network was dense to fight a defensive counterattack, and it can't be said that there was an internal problem." ”

Fu Jian sighed: "Ah Rong, don't be stubborn, Jingzhou is facing a big war, and the imperial court in Jiangdong didn't send a single soldier to rescue, is this normal?" If our Luoyang is attacked, then we here in Chang'an, Yecheng in Hebei, will not send troops to rescue us? ”

Fu Rong shook his head: "That's because Jingzhou is a feudal town of the Huan family, and they won't ask the imperial court to send troops over, after all, it's easy to invite the gods and it's hard to send them." Besides, we are also attacking in Huaibei this time, and the Jin State does not have a national mobilization, and with their standing military strength, they cannot rescue Jingzhou. ”

Fu Jian nodded with satisfaction: "This is the second thing that makes Gu happy, not only this time to take Xiangyang, but also to take the entire Huaibei, Mao Anzhi's 40,000 army collapsed without a fight, Pengcheng also fell into our hands, it turns out that Gu is most worried about two things, one is the two theaters of Jingyang, the Jin State can support each other, and the other is that the Yangzhou soldiers also have strong combat effectiveness, but now it seems that the Jin army in Yangzhou is far inferior to the Huan family soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and it is almost a touch of a collapse." Even Xie Xuan's newly trained army didn't dare to fight, so what was there to worry about? ”

Fu Rong hooked the corners of his mouth: "I heard that this Beifu soldier was formed by the subordinates led by the homeless marshal in the Lianghuai area, these people have very strong combat effectiveness, and they are by no means ordinary." Xie Xuan has been standing still, this is what makes people vigilant, Brother Wang must not be careless. ”

Fu Jian waved his hand disdainfully: "If the Beifu soldiers are so strong, why don't they move?" Besides, isn't that Tian Luo, who guards San'a, also a soldier of Beifu, not also surrounded us and almost died? In the end, it was Xie Xuan's bluff to save him from the siege. These homeless marshals are just the lord of the dock fort in the Lianghuai area, bandits and bandits, no different from those Ding Ling people we put in the south, don't think about how powerful they are. If it's really powerful, why don't you dare to go out for so long? ”

Fu Rong shook his head: "Brother Chen doesn't know, but since the founding of the Jin Kingdom, these homeless handsomes are very capable of fighting, from Zu Ti to Su Jun, to Wang Dun and others, don't they all rely on these homeless people to make things happen?" ”

Fu Jian laughed and waved his hand: "How many years ago was that?" In the Eight Kings Rebellion at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains experienced many years of war, and the ordinary people who survived were very capable of fighting. ”

"But now? Since the fall of Ran Wei, the north has basically been calm, there has been no major war for many years, and the people have begun to live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, those so-called two Huai Liumin marshals are just some remnants of the defeated army twenty or thirty years ago, and the people under them are not those sergeants back then, but their sons and nephews, and even grandchildren. ”

Fu Rong was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "Brother Wang, don't underestimate the enemy." There is no general mobilization in the Jin Kingdom now, if our army is pressurized, it will definitely be drawn in the country, and we will go deep into the water network area in the south to fight, and the water and soil will not adapt, and the epidemic will be epidemic, and we will suffer a big loss! ”

Fu Jian's brows frowned: "What you said makes some sense, but this time I asked Peng Chao and Ju Nan to lead the Yanzhou soldiers and horses south, that is, I want them to fight in the two Huai areas, and now Huaibei has entered my hands, and the two generals have not encountered any big epidemic, and then I will let them continue to the south, if they can adapt to the Huainan area, then there will be no problem, when the time comes, you can take their Yanzhou soldiers and horses as the vanguard, and we will raise the army again, and when we drink the Yangtze River, the Jin State wants to mobilize the whole country, It's too late. ”

Speaking of this, Fu Jian laughed: "Besides, the Jin Kingdom is now in internal disputes, Sima Yao wants to take back the imperial power and let his younger brother Sima Daozi be the prime minister, so as to share Xie An's power, and Xie An is in seclusion to protect himself." After this Sima Daozi took charge, he didn't go to the rescue of Jingzhou, and I heard that there were a bunch of traitors and sycophants around him, headed by that Wang Guobao, every day he was drinking and singing, drunk and dreaming of death, what is the difference between this and what the Sun monarchs and ministers did before the fall of the Wu Kingdom? God has given us such a good opportunity, if we don't grasp it, we will regret it for eternity! ”

Speaking of this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his expression became resolute: "Resolute has been decided, worship the captured Xiangyang guard Zhu Xu as the Duzhi Shangshu, and the troops attacking Xiangyang will rest on the spot, waiting for further orders, Peng Chao's troops will continue to march into Huainan, the target, Shouchun!" ”
