Chapter 033 Unsteady

He Wuji heard this and had to agree. I told He Wuji not to worry too much about me, but to focus on contacting the fallen righteous people. Although we don't know when is a good opportunity for the uprising, once we find the opportunity, we need a large number of complicits.

He Wuji understood what I meant and went back to Beijing after a while. I also found the soldiers who accompanied me into the city and returned to Shanyin.

As soon as I returned to my military tent, I saw a man standing there waiting for me. I don't know why there are always uninvited guests standing in front of my account these two days. He Wuji was just sent away, and now another one has come.

I'm not unfamiliar with this one. His name is Tan Pingzhi, his name is Qingzi, and now he is a long-term soldier under Huan Xiu. When I transferred from Sun Wuzhi to Liu Laozhi's army, it was this Tan Bingzhi who replaced me as Sun Wuzhi's Sima.

When he saw me return the account, he quickly arched his hand and said, "Deyu, you are finally back."

I also saluted and said, "Brother Qingzi came to Shanyin from Shangyu. There must be something important, right?"

He smiled and said, "No, no. I have met General Huan just now, and I came to visit him by the way. I just learned that you have entered Huiji City, so I will wait in front of your account to see if you can come back. If you miss it this time, you may not see each other for months.

"That's not enough to stand outside. Please come in and sit down."

I gave it to the account.

Tan came in and looked around the tent, and then sighed, "Deyu, the furnishings in your tent are too simple. It's no different from soldiers. It's not like a general's military tent at all. Compared with General Huan's military account, it can't be said on the same day.

"There is everything in this account. Military career, these are enough." I let Tan go and sat down on the couch.

After preparing the tea, I sent my own soldiers out.

We sat on the couch and talked about many stories on the battlefield, and then talked about some parents in Jingkou' hometown.

Although Tan had the intention to talk about his affairs many times, he was avoided by me. It's not that I don't want to talk to him deeply, but I feel that there are some things that are not convenient to talk about in the army. Besides, I don't understand Tan's original intention.

However, from such a rimless conversation, I can vaguely guess that some of Tan's thoughts are the same as me.

After sitting down for a while, I invited him to have a meal, and then asked him to go back to Shangyu early. Tan is the chief general of the Shangyu army. This time to report on your work, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time. Obviously, he felt that the conversation with me was still unfinished, and he didn't have a chance to say many words, so he had to say goodbye to me on the door and take his own soldiers to get on horse.

Tan and I are both fellow villagers and old friends in the army, so we have always been closer. Tan is not only a brave and resourceful general, but also a talented Tan family. Tan's five nephews are all extraordinary talents. After being raised by Tan Ping, these five nephews were sent to the army, so they all sought civil and military positions in the army.

With what I know about Tan, he will not be a condescending person. He now seems to be dedicated to Huan Xuan and Huan Xiu, and may also have different aspirations like me and He Wuji. Although he and I are old friends, it is not appropriate to talk to him more about it at this time.

Despite a lot of uneasiness, the war is still going on as scheduled. My strategy of forcing Lu Xun to the coastal areas was recognized by Huan Xiu. So we set up an encirclement from inland to the coast and gradually tightened the front line.

Just as our front was about to advance to Yongjia County, Huan Xuan unexpectedly sent an order from Jiankang, instructing Huan Xiu to step up the offensive and completely defeat Lu Xun and eliminate this problem forever. After receiving Huan Xuan's order, Huan Xiu changed his previous careless practices and personally supervised training, defense, food and fodder and other things.

At this time, a series of news came that shocked the generals of Beifu: Huan Xuan used the imperial edict to kill Gao Su, General Zhu Qianzhi, Zhu Langzhi and other Beifu generals.

Although Huan Xiu's attitude towards the officers and soldiers of the Southern Expedition seems to be day by day, the news that the courtiers and the old generals of Beifu suffered one after another spread like a plague in the army, and the heart of the army has been greatly affected.

Although Lu Xun is winning, there is also the possibility of uncontrollable defeat. Many people will also think of the end of Sun Wuji: If Lu Xun is defeated by chance, will Huan Xuan use this as an excuse to punish the northern soldiers of the southern expedition?

When Huan Xuan sent the Beifu army to the south to conquer Lu Xun, he immediately sent another Beifu army north to Liu Gui. Sun Wu finally died, and the Beifu army in the north fell into Huan Xuan's hands. Although the Beifu army in the south was controlled by Huan Xiu, Huan Xiu was hindered by Liu Yu and other generals and could not fully control the Beifu. Once there is an opportunity, it should only be a matter of time for the north mansion in the south to be taken back to Huan Xuan's lieutenant's mansion.

Huan Xiu naturally sensed the situation of whispering in the army and expressed deep concern about it, so he talked to me.

"Deyu, the military seems to be unstable and humane recently, somehow?" Huan Xiu pulled me down.

"This..." I was suddenly asked about this. I hesitated for a moment and decided not to hide anything from him, because I knew that even if I found an excuse, I could not avoid suspicion, but I was more passive. So I said:

"The soldiers have known about General Sun Wuji, so many people are in danger. It is said that General Sun was not buried on the battlefield, but was killed in the barracks. General Sun went north to conquer Liu Gui, and we waited to march south to conquer Lu Xun. If our army loses, I don't know what will happen.

"Does Deyu have doubts about conquering Lu Xun?" Huan Xiu asked.

"Lu Xun is not good enough. The current situation is related to the spirit of the army, and the success or failure of Lu Xun has a lot to do with it.

"That's good." Huan Xiu saw that I still had confidence in Lu Xun, so he felt at ease.

He smiled slightly and said, "Deyu is too worried. Our army is different from Sun Wu's final army. The reason why Sun Wu finally was killed was that he was suspected of being an enemy. It is common for a lieutenant to win or lose a soldier, and the lieutenant will never severely punish the general for losing the first battle. Our army fought against Nai Lu Xun. Lu Xun is not only the great enemy of the court, but also the great enemy of the North Mansion, and the great enemy of you and me. There is no suspicion of compassing with the enemy.

Liu Gui is a subordinate of Sun Wuyi, and Liu Jingxuan and Gao Yazhi also have deep friendships with Sun Wuyi. If there is no suspicion of compassing with the enemy, General Sun will not be like this. Moreover, although the actual general of Lu Xun is Deyu, the nominal commander is Huan Xiu. Once I lose, as the commander-in-chief, I'm afraid I will receive no less punishment than that of Deyu and the generals. Haha."

"General Huan is very different from us after all." I simply put on a blue look and entangled with Huan Xiu, "What's more, my friendship with Liu Jingxuan and elegance in those years was not shallow."
