Huiji, Shining Mountain Residence.

The backyard of the mountain dwelling, just a cliff place, Xie An is dressed in a green shirt, standing here, the mountain breeze blowing from the west, bringing up a bit of dust, falling on his spotless green shirt, so that this emerald green silk clothes, there is also a little more variegation, Xie An's mouth gently hooked, stretched out the white hand, lightly brushed off a few traces of dust on the placket, and said indifferently: "Maide (Hengchong's small character) dust me." ”

Xie Daoyun smiled slightly: "Are you still worried about Huan Chong's proposal today?" The 3,000 reinforcements, I'm afraid that they have already arrived in Jiankang at this time. ”

Xie An didn't speak, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, he didn't look back, and said softly: "Youdu, did Wang Gong send him away?" ”

Xie Xuan nodded: "I have already gone down the mountain, this time my nephew made an assertion and brought A-Ning over with him, disturbing the peace of Lord Xianggong, please forgive me." ”

Xie An shook his head: "What you did was right, I know that there are two reasons why you brought Wang Gong here, one is that you don't know how to face me in your own heart, and you want to find him to support the scene." Second, you also hope that Wang Gong can go back to the major families in Jiankang to convey our Xie family's attitude towards this battle, especially whether it is war or peace, and it is better for their families to come forward and do the work of each family first, than to announce it directly. ”

Xie Xuan's face was slightly red: "How can my nephew's thoughts be hidden from adults?" I didn't dare to say it in front of Wang Gong, but when I heard the adults say this, did you resolutely fight the main battle? ”

Xie An nodded: "This time, Fu Jian raised the army of the country to destroy my Great Jin, unless we surrender and destroy the country, there is no room for negotiation, so this road is not passable, the only thing I can think about is how to win." There is one thing you may not know, at the same time that you and Wang Gong came, Huan Chong sent 3,000 reinforcements, which had arrived in Liyang, claiming to enter the Beijing division to guard and help defend it. ”

Xie Xuan said hatefully: "They don't have a good heart, they want to learn from Wang Dun and Su Jun, and take the opportunity to control the capital and control the government at this time." ”

Xie An shook his head: "No, now that the enemy is present, the Huan family itself is facing hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, and they can't do this kind of thing to directly control the Jingshi, this time they only sent 3,000 people and horses, it is to make a gesture, to show that Jingzhou is still loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is the same qi, when necessary, it is good to ask me for food and reinforcements, or if you can't resist, you can also retreat to Jiankang." ”

Xie Daoyun smiled slightly: "In addition, I probably want to show other families that Dajin not only has our Xie family, but also their Huan family, if this battle is won, you can also form other families after the war and strive for more benefits for their family." ”

Xie An nodded: "What Dao Yun said is very right. So no matter whether they are seeking fame or truth, these 3,000 soldiers and horses entering Jiankang are all beneficial to the Huan family and harmless, on the other hand, it is not good for our Xie family and the country. Therefore, this support army must not be left behind. ”

Xie Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth: "Can you let them go to Huainan and keep Shouchun?" You have also analyzed it just now, you need to hold back the main force of the Qin army in Shouchun, and strive for at least two months to transfer food and troops for the Beifu army, and complete rest and combat preparation. ”

Xie An waved his hand: "Shouchun is an important place in Huainan, where the waterways connecting Jingzhou and Lianghuai converge, let Jingzhou's soldiers and horses help to defend, but I am afraid that there will be chaos, and I still have to use my own people." In the decisive battle with the Qin army this time, there must be not only our Beifu army, but also the Xifu soldiers and horses in Yuzhou, and Huan Yi is a person who must be relied on. ”

Xie Xuan frowned slightly: "Huan Yi of Yuzhou is a distant family of the Huan family, and he is the same generation as you in terms of seniority, if he wants him to join, I am afraid that my nephew's qualifications are not enough to convince him, I am afraid that Lord Xianggong will personally take command of the expedition to convince him." ”

Xie An smiled slightly: "If I am in charge, then who will sit in the rear, stabilize the situation of the dynasty, and shake the families in Jiankang City, the indigenous scholars of Wudi, and the Jingzhou Huan family who are immortal in thieves?" ”

Xie Xuan sighed: "Then the only way to hand over the command of the Beifu Army is to let Huan Yi take command, and my nephew is the deputy." ”

Xie An didn't speak, and turned his head to look at Xie Daoyun: "Daoyun, what do you think?" ”

Xie Daoyun said calmly: "The Beifu Army is trained by my Xie family, and it is also the foundation of our Xie family's life in the future, and it must not be given to outsiders, although Huan Yi and the Huan family in Jingzhou are only estranged from the family, but after all, they are not from my Xie family, this person can be united, but he can't live under him." The coach of this expedition is best of the same generation as you, according to the niece, the fifth uncle is the most suitable. ”

The fifth uncle in Xie Daoyun's mouth is Xie An's younger brother Xie Shi, who has always been known for his literary talents, and in his early years, he was Shang Shulang, Huangmen Shilang, and also explained the "Book of Filial Piety" to Emperor Xiaowu Sima Yao. During the last Battle of Junchuan, he led the rear army as Xie Xuan's backup, and he didn't even catch up with the whole battle, which can be seen in his poor military command ability.

Xie Xuan's eyes widened: "Fifth uncle? But he doesn't understand military affairs. With him as the main coach, is it really possible? ”

Xie An nodded: "Why not?" In the past, Qi and Wei fought for hegemony, and the nominal general was Tian Ji, but the real commander was the military advisor Sun Bin, the two were sincerely united, and Tian Ji's command was completely transferred to Sun Bin, so that he could defeat Pang Juan and achieve Sun Bin's name as a soldier. Today's enemy is current, and you have your fifth uncle in charge in order to unite Huan Yi and let him lead the soldiers and horses of Xifu to serve willingly, but the real command is still up to you. ”

Xie Xuan understood a little and nodded: "So that's the case." But with this arrangement, will Huan Yi be satisfied? Will the fifth uncle listen to you and let your nephew let go of the command? ”

Xie An said calmly: "Your fifth uncle, I will go and say, it's all the Xie family, don't worry." For Huan Yi, he is an understanding person, as long as he is not under you, he will not have an opinion, of course, you have to discuss major military decisions, and you can't bypass him to make your own decisions. The first thing to do is to let him immediately give up the border of Yuzhou, and the main force of Xifu in Liyang will move closer to you, and at the same time give his favorite general in Shouchun, General Xu Yuanxi, an order, that he must defend Shouchun for three months, and there must be no mistakes! ”

Xie Xuan gritted his teeth: "Xu Yuanxi is his favorite general, only let him guard, but not save him, is it really okay?" ”

Xie An's eyes flashed coldly: "Let Liu Yu take three hundred people to help, even if it means something." Tell Huan Yi that we have sent the bravest soldiers in the Beifu army, and we will definitely not give up Shouchun, so we have to do it! ”

Xie Daoyun's face changed slightly, and he was about to say something, but in the end he held back and bowed his head and said nothing.

Xie An smiled and shook his head: "What's the matter, I feel sorry for my prospective son-in-law?" ”
