Chapter 49 The grass and trees are soldiers

At the end of November 383, the former Qin general Fu Rong heard the news that Liang Chengluojian had been defeated and killed, and hurriedly withdrew to besiege the Kipshi army and withdrew to Shouyang.

At this time, Fu Jian, the former Qin Emperor who learned that the Eastern Jin Dynasty had few soldiers and little food, saw that Fu Rong led the army back to Shouyang, and was very puzzled, and asked: "How did the virtuous brother lead the troops back?" ”

Fu Rong hurriedly replied: "The emperor doesn't know, I learned that the Jin general Xie Xuan led 80,000 troops to the west, and the soldiers of Kip Stone, there are few soldiers and no food, but for some reason, Liang Cheng lost Luojian, and his fiasco was killed, I don't know Xie Xuan's truth, I don't dare to rush forward, so I collected my troops and rushed back to Shouyang, please make a decision." ”

Fu Jian pondered for a long time and said: "I also know that there are only more than 80,000 Jin soldiers, and Liang Cheng commands 50,000 troops, so it will not be a fiasco!" ”

Suddenly, a soldier came to report: "Your Majesty, Jin General Xie Xuan has led his troops to the east bank of the river, and you can see his military camp when you climb the city wall!" ”

Fu Jian was shocked and said: "Xie Xuan is advancing so quickly, he must be confident, and the imperial brother and I will go to wait and see." ”

Fu Jian then led Fu Rong and a number of guards, climbed to the head of Shouyang City, saw the Jin army stationed on Bagong Mountain from a distance, the camp tent was in order, vaguely saw the camp drills, the army array was neat, the soldiers were elite, at this time the breeze struck, the grass and trees on Bagong Mountain were swaying, the shadows were full of shadows, and the sound was rustling, mixed with the sound of Xie Xuan's barracks sergeants shouting and killing, Fu Jian seemed to see thousands of troops and horses all over the mountains, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and turned back to Fu Rong and said: "Xie Xuan's department is my fierce enemy, there are so many soldiers, how can it be said that there are few soldiers!" ”

Fu Rong was submissive and did not dare to make a sound, Fu Jian said to him again: "The army led by Xie Xuan is brave and brave, but when the army converges, it will try to crusade again, and now quickly order the whole army to camp along the bank of the river to prevent it from crossing the water and attacking the camp." ”

Fu Rong immediately received the order and led the army to camp along the west bank of the river, making it impossible for Xie Xuan to cross the water to fight.

Xie Xuan, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, had also observed that Fu Jian's army was camped along the river, and he could not cross the river with his army, so he could only confront it across the bank, and could not quickly fight a decisive battle with it, so he paced repeatedly in the camp, thinking about how to fight quickly.

Xie Xuan knew that once the former Qin army gathered, his 80,000 soldiers would simply be a mantis arm as a car, and after thinking about it, Xie Xuan didn't have a good plan, so he had to send an envoy to Shouyang, and let the envoy provoke Fu Jian with words to see if he could order to move the formation and fight again.

In the camp of Fu Jian in Shouyang City, Fu Jian heard that Xie Xuan sent an envoy to come, and hurriedly summoned him, and the envoy saw Fu Jian, and said arrogantly to him: "The emperor led a million troops deep into my territory, but camped near the water, this is a long-term plan, but the emperor is afraid of the invincible Wang Shi, and is unwilling to fight with our army quickly." If the order is given to move the army back a little, so that the king's division can cross the water and line up, and then decide the winner, what does the emperor think?"

After listening to what the envoy said, Fu Jian pondered for a moment, and then said angrily: "I have a million male divisions, how can I be afraid that you will wait for the weak brigades of a small country, you can go back and tell Xie Xuan that I will move to fight with him in a few days!" ”

The envoy sneered: "This is very good, I will return to the camp now and report this matter to my general!" ”

The envoy arched his hand, then turned around and left, rushing back to Xie Xuan's camp.

Seeing that the envoy had left, Fu Jian hurriedly summoned all the civil and military forces, and said: "Just now Xie Xuan sent an envoy here, and I ordered to move the formation a little bit to be the place for him to cross the water, what does Zhu Aiqing think?" ”

The generals objected one after another, saying: "There are many soldiers in our army, and it is difficult to control the matter of moving the formation, and the morale of the Jin army is flourishing, I am afraid that it will be deceitful!" ”

At this time, Zhu Xu played: "Weichen has been to Xie Xuan's camp, his camp tent is very many, but less than half of the soldiers in the camp, it is claimed to be 80,000, nothing more than 40,000 or 50,000 people, to conquer Luojian, Liang Cheng is incompetent, now the emperor sits in Shouyang, with nearly 300,000 soldiers, and it has no soldiers to use!" ”

Fu Rong played again: "The emperor can plan and move a little, and when Xie Xuan leads the troops halfway through, he can take the opportunity to send cavalry to attack him, and he will definitely win!" ”

Fu Jian laughed and said: "Brother Xian is the same as what I think, I can move the formation tomorrow, I now order Brother Xian to lead the cavalry, if Xie Xuan crosses the water, he can attack his half-crossing!" ”

At this time, the envoy had returned to Xie Xuan's camp and told him that Fu Jian had agreed to retreat, but Xie Xuan was still frowning, thinking: Fu Jian's army is more than 300,000 after all, I don't know when it will move the formation, and after the formation, whether it will attack my half of the crossing, everything is unknown, and now I can only wait and see what happens. Thinking of this, Xie Xuan immediately ordered people to pay close attention to the movements of Fu Jian's camp on the other side of the river.

The next day, the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian wore a gorgeous dragon robe, riding a gorgeously decorated mica car, escorted by the guards to the shore of the river, Fu Rong dressed in military uniform, led the elite cavalry, and waited for the battle, at this time, the former Qin 300,000 soldiers had withdrawn from the camp tent, lined up the military array, just waiting for the emperor to give an order, Fu Jian saw the soldier knife out of the sheath, the bow on the arrow, the heart of infinite joy, thinking: This battle will be won, just wait for me to order to move the formation, you can win a big victory.

Fu Jian took a mica car to the center of the military formation, high up, looked left and right, saw that his soldiers were endless, and when he turned around, he saw that Fu Rong led the cavalry to prepare for the army after the formation, and he thought that everything was under control, so he gave a loud order - the whole army retreated.

At the moment of the order, the entire army array shook like a mountain. First of all, it moved backwards slowly, but because many soldiers only knew how to retreat, but they didn't know why, and the entire former Qin army temporarily requisitioned the majority of the people, they didn't want to fight to the death, and saw the emperor order to retreat, of course, they were overjoyed, and the retreat speed of the army gradually accelerated, even if some soldiers knew the intention of retreating, the pace was slightly slower, and they were pushed and retreated by the sergeants behind.

The war is about to break out, if you know what will happen next, and look at the next chapter.
