Chapter 200: The Northern Expedition is imminent
Xie An and Xie Xuan should have had a further discussion after leaving the guard steps last night, early in the morning, after the soldiers of Beifu met Xie Xuan at the city gate, according to Xie Xuan's instructions, Liu Gaozhi, Liu Yu, Wang Hong, as well as Liu Muzhi and Mao Xiuzhi's Tan Daoji will return to Beijing with him!
Looking at Liu Gaozhi's face, he should have wanted to go to Qingzhou to take office, but Xie Xuan's order could not be disobeyed, so his face was slightly unhappy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as he set foot in the camp, Xie Xuan issued the first military order, asking all the generals above the rank of general in the Beifu soldiers to have a meeting in the tent!
However, in a quarter of an hour, Xie Xuan's handsome tent was full of people, among these people, in addition to Liu Gaozhi, He Qian and others, Wei Jie's acquaintances also included Sun Wuzhong, Zhuge Kan, Gao Heng, Liu Liang, Tian Luo and others, in addition to more than a dozen new generals that Wei Jian did not know.
Liu Yu, Wang Hong, Liu Muzhi and others are naturally also in the account!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have summoned you here today because I have something important to announce!" Xie Xuan looked around and said with a solemn face.
"According to the instructions of the imperial court and Duke An, within a month, our Beifu soldiers will send troops to Yuzhou to join Xie Yan, the commander of the Yuzhou army, and go on a northern expedition together!"
The generals in the account looked at each other, obviously not understanding why the imperial court would suddenly carry out the Northern Expedition, especially Liu Gaozhi, he first glanced at Wei Jie, and then frowned!
"Xuan Shuai, at the moment, we should be vigorous in our troops, strive for all time to recuperate, train our troops and store food, in order to deal with the former Qin army that may move south at any time, it is really unwise to go north at this time!"
As soon as Liu Gaozhi's words fell, he won the echo of many generals, and even He Qian showed a thoughtful expression after listening to it, obviously agreeing with Liu Gaozhi's statement.
It was the first time Xie Xuan had been refuted in front of so many generals, but Xie Xuan didn't have the slightest expression of displeasure, but patiently explained: "This is a strategy jointly formulated by Duke An, me, and the deputy commander Wei Rank last night, the purpose is to put him to death and come back to life!" ”
"In recent days, the Beifu soldiers have been fighting again and again, and the people are sleepy and lacking, and the former Qin army obviously learned of this news, so they have made a move!"
"At present, the Qiang branch of the Qin army is in the north of Yuzhou, and it is possible to launch an attack on Yuzhou City at any time, if our Beifu soldiers do not take any measures and let the Yuzhou army face a strong enemy alone, it will inevitably expose the reality that it is difficult for our army to fight again!"
Speaking of this, Xie Xuan stopped, looked at Liu Gaozhi and He Qian, and then said: "The two are the two major generals of my Beifu Army, in the current situation, you can pay better attention, if you have a better proposal, you may as well put it forward here!"
"Great Commander, please forgive the last general for his previous offense, now that the situation is so critical, the last general also agrees to take the initiative to attack, so that the former Qin army can see the military prestige of my Beifu soldiers, and let them know that at any time, our Beifu soldiers are not mud soldiers and water generals who can be kneaded by others!"
Liu Gaozhi is worthy of being the first person under Xie Xuan in the Beifu army, and he quickly understood Xie An's true intention of Xie Xuan's move, which is to show the position and attitude of the Beifu soldiers to the former Qin army!
My Beifu soldiers, I would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, and I will never back down in front of foreign races!
Wei Jie's slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "What the prison general said is right, besides, Wei Jie's can assure you that as long as we show the momentum of being indomitable and not afraid of sacrifice, the former Qin army will definitely retreat without a fight!" ”
After a slight pause, Wei Jie continued: "Fu Jian doesn't lack anything, he can't take the risk of fighting to the death with my Beifu soldiers, and what our Beifu soldiers lack most is time!" ”
"This battle is to buy time for the Great Jin, for the Beifu soldiers, and for everyone here!"
Wei Jie's words immediately aroused a lot of discussions, and Xie Xuan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"He Qian listens to the order, you leave the 3,000 soldiers and horses in the headquarters to stay in Jingkou, and the rest of the men and horses are all handed over to the deputy commander of Wei to dispatch and command, and at the same time be responsible for the logistics supply of the Northern Expedition army part-time!"
"The other generals will listen to the order, immediately go back to meet with the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and prepare, and set off on time tomorrow!"
The generals agreed!
