Chapter 151: Turning the Tide (7)
Some things are actually a chain reaction, completely linked to each other, and most people also go with the flow, they do not have the courage to lead the times, but can only be led by the times.
Although Murong Trai is a hero, in the face of the last chance of the whole clan, in the face of such a choice, if you go right, you will recover your homeland, and if you go wrong, you will be completely ruined, Murong Trai will inevitably hesitate.
Obviously, if the Qin army was defeated like a mountain, then naturally Murong Chui would not mind giving them the most fierce sword and completely crushing the Qin Empire. Although Murong Chui may feel a little sorry for Fu Jian by doing this, since he was not the first to provoke the leader, nor did he take the initiative to betray, it was his subordinates who "forced" him, so that the guilt in his heart could be much less.
But the problem is that on the east and west roads, the momentum of the Jin army was unexpectedly frustrated at the same time, which made Murong Trai hesitate, all of which was completely unexpected by him, because of the combat effectiveness of the Beifu army, Murong Trai was numerous, and he was able to retreat from the battle of Weishui to some extent, relying on avoiding the Beifu army.
Now, there are two paths in front of him, one is to rejoin Fu Jian's camp, assist in quelling the rebellion and blocking the Jin army, so that he can stabilize the Qin Empire, after all, so far, he has not openly rebelled, there is no problem in doing so, but the hidden danger is that in this way, if Fu Jian survives this catastrophe, it is likely that he will reunite the north, and from then on, his dream of recovering Dayan will come to naught.
Another choice is naturally to rebel immediately now, and stomp on the Qin Empire, which has already seen the dawn, in this way, it is likely to make Fu Jian completely lose hope, but if the Qin Empire chooses to jump out when the momentum rises and the powerful factions of all parties return to obedience, it is likely to become a bird.
If you want to blame Murong Trai for hesitating for a few days before, if he announced a rebellion when the Jin Army's three-way Northern Expeditionary Army was at its highest, maybe the Qin Empire would have completely collapsed today, but Murong Trai also had his reasons, because at that time, if he rebelled in Hebei, the entire north would have fallen into complete chaos, and a group without a unified leadership core would only be broken by the Jin army that was divided into joint attacks, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty would be cheapened in vain, which was also inconsistent with Murong Trai's interests.
So, it seems that there are good reasons for how to make decisions about military affairs, but unfortunately there is only one correct answer, and you only have one chance.
Now Murong Chui's subordinates are arguing, and the young people represented by Murong Bao advocate immediately raising the banner to rebel, and immediately lead troops to attack Fu Pi, first capture Yecheng, and then slightly Zhongshan, but Murong De and others advocate going south immediately and attacking Liu Gaozhi.
The two sides quarreled for a day and a night, but there was no result, because it was Murong Chui who took the idea.
But Murong Chui also made a decision immediately, and he couldn't argue anymore, because time is precious, and the battle situation is changing rapidly, if the Qin army is allowed to clean up the three Northern Expeditionary Army, it is likely that it will be time for them to clean themselves up, and they must make a decision immediately.
As soon as Murong Trai expressed his position, Murong De and Murong Bao both expressed their willingness to implement it, hoping that he would be autocratic, but Murong Trai thought about it for a long time, but only came up with a compromise solution: first mobilize 30,000 troops to the south, and if the situation continues to be favorable to the Qin Empire, he will take the initiative to attack Liu Gaozhi, otherwise he will attack Fu Pi.
This decision made both sides dumbfounded, but Murong Chui said that this was his final decision, and after speaking, he returned to his room, Murong De was speechless, and he also sighed secretly in his heart, his fifth brother, in the end, only has the wind of a king, but there is no atmosphere of an emperor!
But in any case, Murong Chui's maneuver still brought great pressure to Liu Jian's department, and at this time, Zhai Bin's department, which had previously promised to be willing to cooperate with Liu Gaozhi's department, actually expressed his willingness to continue to expand the territory for Fu Jian, because he received Fu Jian's reward and the support of grain and grass, so he led the army to Runan, and this series of changes decisively changed the situation in the world.
Half a month ago, the Great Qin Empire was in turmoil, and everyone was watching the day he fell, many people were already ready to change banners in time before the fall of Chang'an, find a new master to serve, and many people even secretly wrote a letter of loyalty.
But half a month later, after a series of extremely adventurous, but also extremely meticulous bloody battles, the outside of the three-way Northern Expeditionary Army seemed completely impossible to destroy the Qin Empire, and the internal rebellion was also being quelled one by one. God knows if the Heavenly King will be as benevolent as before after regaining control of the situation this time, and if he comes to kill this time, it will be miserable.
Under the successive victories, the intelligence system, which had been almost silent and paralyzed, began to function again, and the imperial cases, which had been much empty, were recently filled with documents from all over the world. Although the local officials and the stumpers in various places have all kinds of reasonable explanations, Fu Jian only laughed, because he is a person with rich political experience in these matters, and he can't be clearer about these ways, but at this time, it is nothing more than pretending to be confused, waiting until the overall situation is decided, and then making calculations.
After eating and sleeping for a long time, Fu Jian finally showed his strength last night, and had a good fight with his favorite concubine Zhang, and he was proud of the battlefield, and the 45-year-old Fu Jian was in a good mood and performed bravely, so that Zhang begged for mercy again and again, and finally completely softened into a puddle of mud. Although she was dressed very dignified and her expression was very serious, but because of Jiukuang Chenghuan, she was still dizzy with her cheeks, and when she saw Fu Jian who was smiling with a smile on her face, she was ashamed and happy in her heart.
Fu Jian's favorite thing about Zhang's is that although she is over thirty years old, she still often shows the shyness of a girl, and it is very natural and unpretentious, in her, Fu Jian feels that even he is a lot younger.
"Hmm!" Fu Jian, who had been smiling and groaning, was talking to Zhang Shi while reviewing the recital, but suddenly he frowned.
"Your Majesty......" Zhang was a little worried, he hadn't seen Fu Jian so happy for a long time, he rarely smiled, why did he frown again.
"Hehehehehehe!" Fu Jian suddenly laughed, but after laughing, he slammed the table, and his voice was cold and terrible: "It's just Liangzhou, it's all like this, Lu Guang is out of breath!" ”
