Chapter 212: On the way back
Although Xie Yan was unhappy, he could only obey Xie Xuan's orders. After Xie Yan came out of the commander's tent, Wei Jie knew that he was resentful when he saw his expression, but he did not get close to him. Even if he didn't believe Xie Yan, he would believe the weight of what Xie Xuan said in Xie Yan's mind, so he was not worried that Xie Yan would disobey him and make trouble for him.
Wei Jie did not leave Xie Xuan's commander's tent as he said, but waited outside the tent. After Xie Yan came out, he said hello to the tent and walked into the commander's tent. He still needs to ask Xie Xuan for advice.
"Small stairs?"
Xie Xuan looked at the Weijie in surprise. In his opinion, the Weijie was a person who dared to act. The situation in the Beifu soldiers is not good now, so he should take on this responsibility without hesitation. Now that he is going back, is there any difficulty?
"Don't worry, I have already greeted Commander Yan, he will cooperate with you!" Xie Xuan smiled slightly and said straight to the point.
Wei Jie shook his head slightly and said, "Wei Jie is not worried about Commander Yan. Even if Commander Yan is unhappy, it is normal for him to behave. However, Wei Jie believes that he will put the overall situation first and will not make things difficult for me. Wei Jie is worried about something else!"
Xie Xuan frowned slightly. Before the decisive battle between Luoxialing and the forces of both sides were equal, the Northern Palace soldiers suffered only 2,000 casualties, and the anti-official Qiang army was defeated. After the loss, the Northern Palace soldiers were less than 2,000. The Northern Palace soldiers were greatly victorious, and the purpose of deterrence had been achieved. The only disadvantage is that Xie Xuan was injured in an arrow, but fortunately he was not in danger of his life.
The most urgent task of the Weijie was to take the soldiers of the Northern Palace back to the Jingkou base camp, and to protect Jiankang while there was no news of Huan Xuan's rebellion.
"Xiao Jie, are you worried about my injury?"
Wei Jie nodded slightly. He had already had doubts a long time ago. Xie Xuan was in his prime and had always been in good health. Why did he die two years after Xie An's death? Now it seems that it has nothing to do with Zonghou's arrow!
"Wei Jie feels that it is not appropriate for us to lead troops back to Jingkou this time!" Wei Jie said with a frown.
"Once your injury is discovered by the spies of the Former Qin Dynasty, Wei Jie is worried that the Former Qin army may go south at any time!"
Xie Xuan smiled and said, "So that's it. I have considered your concerns. I have also thought about leading the army back to Jingkou with great fanfare. However, this method can only deal with vulgar people, and there is a suspicion of no silver here!"
"If you are allowed to lead the army, Fu Jian will not understand our background. Now the combat power of the Northern Mansion soldiers is beyond doubt and has been fully demonstrated. We only need to leave a trace of doubt for Fu Jian, so he dare not easily drive the army south. If I lead the army personally, Fu Jian will see through our reality!"
Wei Jie nodded slightly and said, "Master Xuan is right. According to what Master Xuan said, Wei Jie temporarily takes the post of the Grand Commander!"
"There is not without risks on the way back to Jingkou. Small steps, you must not be careless!" Xie Xuan reminded him again.
"Nanyang and Xuchang are not only full of the eyes of the Former Qin Dynasty, but probably also have a lot of eyes of the Jingzhou army. My concern for Huan Xuan is even more than Fu Jian!"
Wei Jie couldn't help but look shaking. He had always been worried that Huan Xuan would take advantage of the Northern Expedition to seize Jiankang, but he didn't expect that Huan Xuan might go to Jiankang to seize power after solving the Northern Expedition!
"Xuanshun is thorough in thinking, Wei Jie admires it!"
After saying that, Wei Jie sighed deeply in his heart. He was as wise as Xie Xuan, but he couldn't realize that Xie An was really meant. When one day Xie Xuan learned the truth, he didn't know what he would think and how to make a decision.
After Xie Xuanshu came out of the account, the Wei Jie issued a series of instructions, and Ruyin and Nanyang were all handed over to the Yuzhou Army to take over the garrison. All the soldiers of the Northern Mansion were resting in Nanyang City for three days. After Liu Yu and Sun Wuzhong and Wang Hong's cavalry returned, the entire army returned to Jingkou.
Xie Yan led the cavalry of the Yuzhou Army and the Northern Palace soldiers to return to Yuzhou City.
Three days later, Liu Yu and others rushed back to Nanyang. After losing Nanyang and saving Xuchang, Fu Jian seemed to have no intention of using troops to Nanyang immediately. The reinforcements led by Fu Rong left quietly after confronting the Northern Palace cavalry for a few days. It seems that Fu Jian felt that the time for a large-scale move south was not ripe!
After the Beifu army arrived in Yiyang County, the Weijie asked Wang Hong and Mao Xiuzhi to lead their respective personal soldiers to Jiangzhou. One, the two were appointed by the court, and they happened to take office. Two, the west of Jiangzhou was Jingzhou. Regardless of whether Huan Xuan had any movement at this moment, they had to have their own people stationed in Jiangzhou.
After another half a month, the army reached Lujiang County. Tan Daoji was kept by the guard steps, and left behind two thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry, a total of five thousand soldiers and horses to serve as a barrier for Yuzhou. Liyang, Yingchuan and other counties east of Lujiang also had Xie Yan's Yuzhou army stationed.
When the Northern Palace soldiers reached Yuzhou, the navy led by Liu Laozhi and Liu Muzhi had already arrived in Chaohu. Liu Laozhi led several confidant generals to visit Xie Xuan as soon as possible.
After Liu Laozhi learned that the military power of the Northern Mansion soldiers had been handed over to Wei Jie, his reaction was almost the same as Xie Yan. Wei Jie knew that in Liu Laozhi's view, the opportunity belonged to him was coming, but now Wei Jie was stabbed by him. Wei Jie knew that from this moment on, the tacit understanding between him and Liu Laozhi, which was originally a false and sarcastic relationship, ended!
In addition to Liu Muzhi, there is another person named Liu Yi, who is Liu Yu's brother. In today's terms, he is his cousin. However, Liu Yi's family background is much better than Liu Yu. He received education since childhood and his education level is not comparable to Liu Yu. Now Liu Yi is Liu Laozhi's number one think tank and has the ability to lead the army with points.
Liu Yi was a man named Wei Jie. He was close to Liu Laozhi at first, but after Liu Yu took power, he turned to Liu Yu. After Liu Yu took charge of Jiankang, he imitated Xie Xuan to carry out the Northern Expedition. During Liu Yu's Northern Expedition, Liu Yi was appointed by Liu Yu to stay in Jiankang, but he colluded with the high sects in Jiankang City during Liu Yu's Northern Expedition, intending to replace him with Liu Yu.
But later the conspiracy was discovered by Liu Muzhi, and Liu Yi's fate can be imagined!
The man Liu Yi was displeased at first sight. It was not because of how ugly Liu Yi looked. On the contrary, Liu Yisheng was quite handsome and looked much better than Liu Yu. However, Liu Yi's eyes were always unpredictable and always gave people a flashing feeling. His clothes were not military uniforms, but because of the famous scholars in Jiangzuo, who spoke humbly and politely.
