Chapter 228: The Guangling Incident
Wei Jie, Xie Xuan saw Liu Muzhi, and changed color at the same time, although Liu Muzhi was wild, he was definitely not a person without a sense of responsibility, since Xie Xuan put him in Guangling, if something major didn't happen, he would definitely not leave his post without permission!
"Daohe, what's wrong with Guangling? What's wrong with you? ”
It was Wei Rank who opened his mouth to inquire, and Xie Xuan was still able to calm down at this time, and he did not lose his square inch like Wei Rank. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Guangling, Guangling is lost!"
Liu Muyi's opening made the two Wei Rank Xie Xuan, who were already worried in their hearts, panic a little, how could Guangling be lost? Now that Huan Xuan has withdrawn from the army, who else has the ability to capture Guangling so quickly with the joint efforts of Sun Wuzhong and Liu Muzhi?
I only heard Liu Mu's heart continue with palpitations: "Huan Xuan, it's Huan Xuan's Jingzhou Army!" ”
"What about the end? What about General Sun? ”
Xie Xuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down and think about it, the first thing he asked was Sun Wuzhong!
"General Sun asked me to break through with the personal guards and return to Beijing to warn and report to Xuan Shuai, and he himself stayed in Guangling to defend it, but before Mu Zhi left the city, the Jingzhou army had already entered the city!" Liu Muzhi lowered his head and said.
"How could Guangling fall so quickly?"
Wei Jie is indeed very puzzled, even if Huan Xuan's previous retreat is just a disguise, Guangling has Sun Wuzhong and nearly 10,000 Beifu soldiers, if it is not for the internal assistance, even if Huan Xuan is powerful, I am afraid that he will not be able to break through Guangling in half a day!
"At this moment, I'm afraid that there will be more than one luck!"
Suddenly encountering a drastic change, Xie Xuan gradually calmed down, only to see Xie Xuan pacing back and forth in the camp tent while groaning.
"There must be Huan Xuan's traitor in Guangling City, Huan Xuan can see through our plan this time, it must be because of this Hou Liangsheng next to him, and then he came to plan again!"
"Huan Xuan has changed, who is this Hou Liangsheng, who can make Huan Xuan have such a reborn change?"
"Xuan Shuai, Hou Liangsheng, let's leave it alone for the time being, how should we make a decision now?"
Guangling is lost, Jingkou will lose its barrier, Huan Xuan can lead the Jingzhou army to the city at any time, and even he can choose to bypass Jingkou and march directly to Stone City by water, threatening Jiankang!
If he didn't know that Xie Xuan didn't want to fight Huan Xuan at the moment, Wei Jie really wanted to propose that Xie Xuan use the strength of the soldiers of the Quanbei Mansion to have a big showdown with Huan Xuan and cut off this scourge as soon as possible.
"Now if we fight to the death with Huan Xuan, it can only be cheapened by Qianqin, no matter who wins or loses between the Jingzhou army and the Beifu soldiers, when we are both defeated, the Qianqin army will go south and unify the north and south, and it will be effortless!" Xie Xuan frowned and said.
"I believe that Huan Xuan also understands the truth, although he occupies Guangling at the moment, Guangling is sandwiched between Jiangzhou and Jiankang, and Jiangling Jingzhou is not connected, and his situation is extremely embarrassing at the moment!"
"What does Xuan Shuai mean that Huan Xuan took Guangling just to increase the bargaining chips in negotiations with Jiankang?"
Wei Jie's expression was a little more relaxed, the development of the overall situation was only the most beneficial to his Wei Rank if he followed the historical trajectory he knew, although he really wanted to start a war with Huan Xuan and solve this bane as soon as possible, but he also knew in his heart that this idea was not wise!
"Not bad!" Xie Xuan nodded slightly and said.
"Let's wait and see what happens, I believe that Huan Xuan will send an envoy to negotiate in the near future, I really hope that it is that Hou Liangsheng who came this time, I really want to see this person!"
"Didn't General Sun die in vain?" Liu Muzhi saw that Wei Jie and Xie Xuan gradually calmed down, and couldn't help but say in a lost voice.
For Sun Wuzhong, Wei Jie has a very good impression, but at the moment of the overall situation, a person's life is obviously nothing, do you want to hold high the banner to avenge Sun Wuzhong? At the moment, he could only look gloomy and go silently.
"Of course, General Sun's blood will not be shed in vain!" Xie Xuan's tone was cold, and he said in a deep voice.
"Sooner or later, one day, I will settle this general account with Huan Xuan!"
Wei Jie smiled bitterly in his heart, in the near future, the former Qin army will go south, and the marked battle of Weishui is about to break out, Xie Xuan has not much time, I am afraid that there will be no chance to settle this general account with Huan Xuan, and the matter of finding Huan Xuan to settle accounts can only be pinned on Liu Yu's body!
The news that Guangling was occupied by Huan Xuan, Xie Xuan did not dare to conceal it, and presented it to Jiankang in fact, Sima Yao was furious, but also extremely frightened, first issued an edict to hold the generals of the Beifu army, and then issued an edict to appease, and ordered Xie Xuan to block Huan Xuan in the west of Jingkou, and try to strive for the opportunity to negotiate peace with Huan Xuan, as long as Huan Xuan's request is not too excessive, Xie Xuan can accept it on behalf of the imperial court!
Xie An sent a handwritten letter, ordering Xie Xuan to properly resolve the matter and try to regain control of Guangling, Xie An's letter, for Xie Xuan and the generals of the Beifu soldiers to be derelict in this time, deeply disappointed, fortunately, although the Beifu Soldiers' Northern Expedition failed to achieve substantial results, but also recovered the two cities of Nanyang and Ruyin, and the most important thing is that after this battle, Fu Jian put away his contempt for the Southern Jin Dynasty!
Xie Xuan sent an order to Jiangzhou, asking him to pay close attention to the dynamics in the direction of Jingzhou, in case he was attacked by Guangling and Jingzhou left and right, and at the same time, Jingkou also began to actively prepare for war, even if Xie Xuan did not want to start a war, but at this time the posture must be put on, since Huan Xuan already has the bargaining chips in his hands, he must show his determination to be a jade crush rather than a complete tile!
Seven days have passed since Guangling was attacked by Huan Xuan's Jingzhou army, during which the scattered Beifu soldiers continued to return to the military camp in Jingkou, but there was no news of Sun Wuzhong, and Huan Xuan, as Xie Xuan expected, did not make further moves, neither forced Jingkou, nor went to Stone Town along the waterway, but the activities of the Jingzhou army at the junction of Jingzhou and Jiangzhou were quite frequent, and several tentative attacks were launched against a small border county town in Jiangzhou!
On the eighth day, Huan Xuanlai's envoy to negotiate finally arrived in Jingkou, but the leader was not Hou Liangsheng, who Xie Xuan had been fascinated for a long time, but a middle-aged man surnamed Guo.
"The guests under the Nanjun public seat are looking to meet Xuan Shuai!"
After the soldiers brought the envoy into the tent, Guo Shimou reported to his home and saluted Xie Xuan respectfully.
"Mr. Guo has worked hard, come here, serve tea!" Xie Xuan smiled and motioned for Guo Shimou to sit down and speak.
"What advice do you have here?"
"Nanjun Gong knows that Xuanshuai's arrow wound has recurred, so he specially asked Bucai to come to visit on behalf of Nanjun Gong!" Guo Shimou said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Hou Liangsheng has not seen him, but his power, Xie Xuan and Wei Jie, have already understood, Hou Liangsheng is not counted, but the situation in front of him is quite a big demeanor, and there are indeed many capable people under Huan Xuan's command!
