Huan Yi laughed: "He's dreaming!" Our army is a hundred miles away, as stable as Mount Tai, he is a million army is coming, and we are not afraid! ”

Zhu Xu shook his head: "General Huan, don't cheer yourself up like this, I have been in Dajin for many years, and I know that the national strength of the two countries is very different, if it is really a million Qin troops gathered here, even if they take turns to attack the big camp, it will be difficult to resist, after all, there is too much difference in the number of troops, and we are not the opponent of the Qin army!" ”

Xie Shi said coldly: "Zhu Xu, these words of yours are hard to argue, and we still can't trust you now." If Murong Chui really has the heart to help me in Dajin, why do you want to help Fu Jian win Shouchun? This alone cannot be explained at all! ”

Xie Xuan said slowly: "Zhu Xu, thank you for passing on such an important military situation for us, you can go back, just say that we have accepted the battle book of the Qin army, and three days later, we should open a decisive battle with the Qin army!" ”

Zhu Xu gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Youdu, let me say it again, now the front line of the Qin army is only 300,000 horses, and the previous period of siege and land grabbing is already a tired army, Fu Jian is on the front line in person, the troops have become arrogant soldiers, this is the only chance to defeat them, if the follow-up of the Qin State is full of people from all walks of life, there will be no fighters!" ”

Xie Xuan nodded and bowed deeply: "Thank you Brother Cilun (Zhu Xu's words) for your help." We will definitely have the opportunity to meet again. ”

When Zhu Xu's figure disappeared outside the tent with Liu Gaozhi's footsteps, the tent fell into silence, and the three pairs of eyes were staring at Xie Xuan tightly, and finally, Xie Yan couldn't help but speak: "Dashuai, listening to what you said just now, it seems that you believe in that Zhu Xu, can Murong Chui really be regarded as a friend?" ”

Xie Xuan shook his head: "Yes, there is one thing that should let everyone know, I have always had a personal contact with Murong Chui, and that Murong Lan is the messenger in charge of the contact between us." It is called training cavalry for us, but in fact, it is more of a conspiracy with Murong Chui to disrupt the Qin State. ”

Xie Shi nodded: "This matter, my Dajin family knows about it, and the saint also knows about it, but I haven't said it explicitly, Dashuai, is it really good for you to make this matter public at this time?" ”

Huan Yi sighed: "Xuan Shuai, Shouchun City was betrayed by this Murong Lan and fell, Murong Trai has betrayed us, betrayed you, he sees that the Qin army is powerful, I am afraid that he wants to let the Qin State annex my Great Jin first, and then try to divide one side, now we must not have hope for this Murong Trai anymore." ”

Xie Xuanzheng said: "No, if Murong Chui really switched to Fu Jian, he would not have sent Murong Lan as a deputy envoy, Zhu Xu has been talking to us secretly for so long, but Murong Lan has been alone with Liu Yu over there, this is obviously not a matter of supervision, if my expectations are good, Murong Lan should have said the same thing to Liu Yu, the two coincide, which shows that Murong Trai and Zhu Xu have the same purpose." ”

Xie Yan shook his head: "Won't they conspire to earn us?" Let's not talk about Murong Chui, it is this Zhu Xu, he is no longer a courtier of my Jin Kingdom, but a general who defected to Qin. He kept saying that he would think about my Dajin, but with this opportunity to come to our camp, why not just come back? ”

Xie Xuan said with a smile: "Zhu Xu's family is in the north, if he returns at this time, won't it hurt those family members?" Besides, Zhu Xu came to inform us of the top-secret news of Fu Jian's presence this time, as long as this news is true, then he is on our side. ”

Xie Shi hooked the corners of his mouth: "If Fu Jian is here in person, the morale of the Qin army will be high, and the reinforcements behind will also accelerate the assembly, we must not listen to Zhu Xu's words, take the initiative to attack, and find a way to withdraw to Guangling." It is too close to Shouchun here, and the supply of the Qin army can be taken by water, which is very convenient, and it is too disadvantageous for us. ”

Huan Yi nodded: "Yes, Shouchun has been lost, if there is any accident in Liyang, it will not only be the Qin army that can open up the connection between the two war zones, but also the connection between Jingzhou and Yangzhou in our Great Jin Dynasty will be interrupted." It's too much of a loss to fight in this place, so it's better for me to lead the troops back to Liyang, and then ask Huan Chong to send 50,000 Jingzhou soldiers and horses to help defend it, and your Beifu army can guard Guangling, or you can simply cross the river directly. Avoiding the sharpness of the Qin army in this way is a good plan. ”

Xie Xuan remained silent, looked at Xie Yan, who had been bowing his head and was silent, and said, "What is Xie Zuoshuai's opinion?" ”

Xie Yan raised his head, and his expression became resolute: "If Zhu Xu's statement is true, then we must not retreat, he is right, Lord Qin came to the front line in person, the morale of the soldiers is high, if our army shows weakness again, then their momentum will be higher, plus their strength is far higher than our army, once our army retreats to Liyang, Guangling and other places, they will definitely besiege with superior forces, at this time, our army is fighting separately, passively beaten, there is really no chance of victory." ”

Xie Shi shook his head: "No, our southern army is good at defending the city, which is not conducive to field warfare, this is a well-known truth in the world, the northern army has always attacked the south, and it has often been frustrated under the fortified city. I don't think it's going to be any different this time. ”

Xie Yan sighed: "This time is different, there are hundreds of thousands of Han troops in Fu Qin's million-strong army, they are not unadaptable, they can't play a big role in field battles, but if they besiege the city, it will be powerful." Originally, these people, as Han Chinese, would be a little reluctant to contribute to the Qin State, but if Fu Jian came in person and our army retreated, then they, the Han people, would think that Fu Jian was the true son of heaven, and would do their best to serve Fu Jian from now on. ”

"At that time, our army could not defend the city, could not fight in the field, and the troops were scattered, and it was difficult to concentrate, but it was really in a desperate situation. Besides, the pressure in Jingzhou is also very great, the Qin army can transfer Murong Chui's 30,000 troops and still have a strength advantage, but Huan Chong is very reluctant to even draw out 3,000 people, if he really wants to surrender Liyang, I am afraid that Jingzhou will not be able to transfer a single soldier. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Yan took a deep breath: "Therefore, there is only one chance to win, that is, while Fu Jian is on the front line, there will be temporary chaos in their command, Fu Jian himself is not very familiar with military affairs, but since he is here, Fu Rong, who is good at fighting, can only temporarily hand over the command, this is our good opportunity." As long as you seize the opportunity and fight a decisive battle with it, you can break Qin in one fell swoop if you win, and even if you fail, you can clean up the remnants of the army and retire Jiankang. It's a hundred times better than retreating without fighting like this. ”

Xie Xuan nodded, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind, and I will quickly send a good hand man to the Qin camp to find out if Fu Jian has come to the front line, if this is the case, all armies will prepare for a decisive battle out of the camp, and this battle will determine the world!" ”
