Chapter 016 Falling
The battle of Huiji undoubtedly made Sima Yuanxian hide in Jiankang and enjoy the disaster. This battle almost destroyed Sun En's whole army, and also destroyed Huan Wucai and Sun Wu's whole army. Liu Laozhi and the elegant army suffered heavy losses. As a result, the total of Liu and Gao's armies after the war was only thousands.
However, after thinking about it, this is indeed a dangerous move.
Now the positions of Liu Jaozhi and Sima Yuanxian have been reversed. At the beginning, it was Liu Laozhi who fought against Sun En, and Sima Yuanxian expected to profit from it; now it is Sima Yuanxian who fights against Huan Xuan, and Liu Laozhi wants to profit from it.
It's just that Liu Jaozhi seems to be too indecisive. If he doesn't send troops, I will definitely bring Sima Yuanxian's troops to meet the enemy; since he sent troops, I can only put his general order first. But now Huan Xuan's army is in front of him, but he is still hesitating whether to fight or not.
The next day, Liu Jaozhi received the envoy He Mu. In front of the generals, Liu Laozhi said a lot of irrelevant words. He Mu, like us, heard in the clouds and didn't know what to say. Finally, Liu Laozhi said that since Huan Xuan sent messengers, we also need to send messengers to show courtesy and exchange. So Liu Jingxuan brought a gift to visit Huan Xuan with He Mu.
Hearing this, the generals have different expressions: those who are sad, those who are rest, those who are sad, those who are sad, and those who are secretly happy.
He Mugang withdrew from the Chinese military tent. Liu Jaozhi did not allow the generals to disagree again. He got up and said, "Let's meet!" Then he left his seat and walked out of the tent.
"General!" He Wuji shouted and chased out the account.
The generals looked at each other and finally looked at me. I waved my hand and asked them to go back first.
I sat in the Central Army for about half an hour before returning.
"How's it going?" I didn't wait for him to sit down and ask.
He shook his head and said nothing.
After a long time, he said, "We will know the result when Brother Wanshou comes back."
Wait for A Shou to come back? Has he left yet?
The messenger of Liu Lao's faction turned out to be his son! I have an ominous feeling. If Liu Laozhi is determined to fight, he will naturally not send his son to see Huan Xuan; since his son has been sent, of course, the possibility of surrender is much greater.
He Wuji said, "I wanted to say a few words to Brother Wanshou. Because the messenger was there, it was inconvenient to talk, so he had to let him go. How do you think this matter should be settled? Everyone didn't understand the general's words just now, but later I realized that the general didn't want everyone to understand, as long as Brother Wanshou understood. Depending on the situation, as soon as Longevity is gone, it is bound to surrender. The general's difficulty is not far away. What should I do?
"Anyway, I have tried my best. Let's wait for the news. General Daojian can only obey his orders. It's hard to disobey the military order.
"But this military order..."
"In the outside, the king's order will not be accepted, not to mention that the king's order under the general is only the order of the prince Yuan Xian. The future is unknown. I threw the * in my hand on the case and sighed heavily, "It's a pity that it's a great opportunity to defeat Huan Xuan. It is already difficult to find such an opportunity again.
When He Wuji heard this, he slapped the case hard and turned around to pay the bill. I quickly reached out and grabbed him.
Although He Wuji is clever and good at strategy, he always acts a little extreme, and sometimes he does things emotionally regardless of the consequences. I'm worried that he will do something extreme when he goes out full of anger.
"General Deyu, don't worry, I'm just bored. I just want to go out for a walk. Since the general is going to surrender, what else can we do? It's hard to break the military order."
I heard He Wuji say this, let him go and let him go.
Although everyone is worried, nothing unusual happened on this day. Everyone is waiting. Even if everyone has guessed what the result is, they would rather wait patiently when the result does not appear.
The upcoming result is known, but what will happen is unknown. In the face of the unknown, it is difficult for ordinary people to be as safe as Mount Tai. So am I.
In the Chinese military account, he has no intention to deal with official affairs, but just paces back and forth. From time to time, soldiers entered the account to consult the military affairs. I was a little annoyed and simply went out of the Chinese army to return to my camp. The colleagues who met at the head-on just nodded to each other and did not say a word, but it was this kind of tacit heart, which set off the uneasiness in everyone's hearts.
This state lasts until the evening.
Before going to bed, He Wuji entered the account.
"Fare down?" I asked.
"Hmm." He Wuji sat on my couch silently.
I dialed the oil lamp to make the account brighter.
"What's the situation?"
"Brother Wanshou said that he went back as an envoy, but in fact he had brought the surrender letter written by the general. Huan Xuan is very polite to Brother Wanshou. He verbally promised that once the big event was settled, he would appoint General Daojian, General Deyu, Brother Wanshou, us and others to a high position. It's a mess."
"Oh? Huan Xuan, do you and I have to take care of you? I don't understand how Huan Xuan promised Liu Laozhi and the messenger. How could he take me and He Wuji? I smiled and said, "This Huan Xuan is quite benevolent."
"General Deyu, can you still laugh? At present, Huan Xuan is talking about things, speaking plainly, not to mention any high-ranking officials, and saying a rebellious word," He Wuji said in a low voice, "Now it is not impossible for him to promise a throne."
I smiled and said, "Since it has fallen, let's surrender."
"What...what is this?" He Wuji shouted, "In this way, he hurried from Beijing with a large army and surrendered without even knowing what the enemy looked like? Have you ever heard of such a coward? Where is my uncle's ambition in the battle of Yushui and the ambition to destroy Sun En? Is this Huan Xuan more terrible than Fu Jian and Sun En? He Wuji patted the couch hard.
I don't know how many times I have said such words in the past few days, and I don't know how many times I have heard He Wuji say it. Seeing him so excited, I couldn't think of anything to comfort him.
After waiting for He Wuji to vent, he said lightly, "Now I can only talk about the future. The so-called back road is to surrender Huan Xuan, you have to be the vanguard of Huan Xuan to attack Jiankang; the so-called back road is to wait for Huan Xuan to be rewarded for his achievements. If you can't attack Jiankang, follow Huan Xuan to Jingzhou. In short, as long as Huan Xuan is still the minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, we are the people of the Great Jin Dynasty. That's what I said.
"General Deyu, why are you... different from what we talked about before? Did someone say something to you? Or have you changed your mind? He Wuji was very surprised that he hadn't seen him for a day. Why am I completely different?
"Wuki, think about it. Previously, we moved with emotion and reason, and persuaded General Daojian countless times. In fact, he was not hesitating, but had already moved his mind to surrender. We can't stop it beforehand, and we can only let nature take its course afterwards. Can you do anything under such circumstances? At present, whether it is following Yuan Xian or Huan Xuan, it is unfavorable to the State of Jin. What we can do is to see how things develop and then make a conclusion.
He Wuji chewed my words repeatedly, and finally lay on my couch and closed his eyes, as if he were asleep.
Although it is rude for him to lie on my couch so casually, I also understand that he is confused at this moment and let him go.
