Chapter 901: The Front Line Is Defeated, and the Backyard Is on Fire

The Jingzhou battle report soon spread to the base camp, and Fu Jian was impatient, and he looked at Di Chen with suspicion. He gritted his teeth and said, "Is this the promise you made to me?"

There was already a wave of anger accumulated in the words, and Fu Jian felt that he had been tricked. Before the army set off, Dichen swore that he would never expect such a situation, which makes people laugh for no reason.

Di Chen was so ashamed that he was speechless for a while.

In fact, no one is more depressed than Dichen. More than half of the 50,000 troops he brought this time were lost in the Jingzhou battlefield. Although he also gained some battle contribution points, it was far from Dichen's expectations.

For the expedition, Di Chen owed Chun Shenjun and others a big favor. Now these guys don't say anything on the surface, I'm afraid they've already laughed out loud in their hearts.

It's just that facing Fu Jian's accusation, Di Chen really didn't know how to refute it, and felt a little wronged in his heart. The defeat of Jingzhou this time was due to the 100,000 Qin army more than half of the reason.

If it weren't for those soldiers of the Qin army who disobeyed control and burned, killed, raped and looted along the way, they wouldn't have slowed down the marching speed, allowing the Jin army enough time to lay down an ambush formation.

But it was also a fact that Lian Po raised food and grass along the way, thus delaying the battle opportunity, so Di Chen had no confidence in his argument, and Fu Jian was angry at this time, so talking back at this time was just asking for trouble.

Di Chen wanted to take it all away, but someone was unwilling, and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Lian Po was ordered to march south this time, but he went to raise food and grass along the way. He was really neglecting the basics. He should be responsible for this defeat."

It was Yao Chang who spoke, and when the two of them learned that Jingzhou was defeated, their eyes flashed strangely.

Fu Jian nodded, and said, "Lian Po is indeed old and confused."

Di Chen was furious, and cursed in his heart: "How shameless!" When a large amount of grain and grass arrived at the base camp, Fu Jian was still full of praise for Lian Po, why did he change his mind in a blink of an eye.

It's just that facing Fu Jian, Dichen really couldn't find anyone to judge him, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.

It was a good discussion, but in the end it broke up unhappy.

…………

Fu Jian originally thought that the defeat of Jingzhou was already painful enough, but he never thought that a bigger disaster was yet to come. On the next day, a battle report came from the north.

The invasion of Cao Chun's tribe in the north finally stirred up the situation of the former Qin Dynasty.

The three elite cavalry cooperated with each other and launched a surprise attack on the marching Qin army, causing huge damage. Nothing happened for the first few days. As more and more troops were attacked, the whole north suddenly became tense.

For a time, rumors spread everywhere.

As the saying goes, "three people make a tiger", if there are more people spreading rumors, then the rumors will become "truth".

Until yesterday, some troops finally couldn't bear it and dispersed with a whimper, which triggered a chain reaction. There was a wave of deserters in the whole north, and it was getting worse.

At this moment, the news that Murong Chui and Yao Chang were placed under house arrest also spread. Hearing the news, the Qiang and Xianbei tribes in the former Qin Dynasty became agitated immediately, and the soldiers of these two tribes fled the most.

After some sergeants escaped, under the organization of caring people, they quietly lurked in the territory of the former Qin Dynasty.

The whole north is undercurrent surging.

When Fu Jian got the news, he felt restless.

The defeat on the front line and the fire in the backyard shook Fu Jian's confidence in the war once again.

For this reason, Wu Qi and Fu Rong had to hurry back from Shouyang, trying to strengthen Fu Jian's confidence. Wu Qi said: "Your Majesty, Shouyang's 300,000 troops have been preliminarily reorganized and ready to go to the battlefield. Therefore, our army still has 600,000 troops on the front line. We have an absolute advantage and the situation is still under control."

"Then what should we do about the domestic turmoil?" Fu Jian asked.

Wu Qi said: "You only need to arrange for a general to lead a light cavalry back to the north with your majesty's order to clarify the rumors, then the situation in the north will be stabilized, so there is no need to worry."

Of course, things are not as simple as Wu Qi said, but as a general of the [Yanhuang League], Wu Qi must guarantee Fu Jian's determination to fight again, otherwise everything will be over.

The successive blows made Fu Jian a little confused. Hearing Wu Qi's analysis, it was like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, and instinctively believed it without thinking too much about it.

"Alright then!" Fu Jian nodded.

Right now, Fu Jian is riding a tiger, so let's fight, there is not much hope of winning; let's withdraw, Fu Jian is not reconciled, and if he retreats to the country in such a disheveled manner, where will Fu Jian's face be put? !

Therefore, until the situation is not bad enough, Fu Jian has no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

…………

It was night, Murong Chui camped.

In addition to Murong Chui, the master, Yao Chang was impressively included in the tent.

There is a letter in front of the case, which has been opened.

"What do you think?" Murong Chui asked Yao Chang.

Yao Chang said: "No matter what, let's leave the base camp first."

"Are they trustworthy?"

"You have to try it, it's better than being trapped here."

"Okay, let's give it a go!" Murong Chui knew very well that the chaos in the north was the best time for him to rise up, if he missed it, he would never have the hope of restoring the country.

After discussing well, the two disguised themselves and quietly left the barracks to a secluded place on the west bank of Feishui River. There, members of the Great Xia Dynasty Marine Corps were already waiting.

After the joint, the two sides quietly dived into the Feishui River, and then went upstream and entered the Huaihe River.

…………

Early the next morning, the news that Murong Chui and Yao Chang had disappeared spread throughout the Qin army's base camp. Some people said that the two escaped, while others said that the two were secretly executed by His Majesty.

All the officers and men talked a lot, casting a shadow over the barracks.

Inside the central tent, Fu Jian's expression was gloomy. The disappearance of Murong Chui and Yao Chang made Fu Jian feel more uneasy. He was too aware of the influence of these two people in the country.

"Damn bastards, I would have killed them if I knew about it." Fu Jian scolded angrily.

Dichen, Wu Qi, and Fu Rong in the camp looked at each other, silent and frustrated. Bad news came one after another, forming a series, like a chain reaction.

If this continues, Qin Jun is afraid that he will collapse without fighting as in history.

Wu Qi knew that he had to say something, stepped out, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty!"

"Say it!" Fu Jian's voice was cold.

Wu Qi didn't mind either, and said: "Your Majesty can declare to the outside world that Murong Chui and Yao Chang were secretly sent back to China by His Majesty to deal with the chaos in the north, so as to calm the restless hearts of the frontline soldiers."

For the soldiers of other ethnic groups, the former Murong Chui and Yao Chang were promoted. Being sent back to China by His Majesty this time is also a normal choice, so there should be no suspicion.

After hearing this, Fu Jian reluctantly nodded.

To Wu Qi, Fu Jian couldn't complain about anything, the governor did everything he could do.

"It's only the army's failure to live up to expectations." Fu Jian sighed inwardly.

Wu Qi continued: "Murong Chui and Yao Chang most likely absconded and returned to the country. When they show up in the north, there will be a wave of melee. The current plan is to take the lead before the situation deteriorates. Launching an attack on the Eastern Jin Dynasty is the so-called death and rebirth. As long as the Jin army is defeated, no matter how much Murong Chui and Yao Chang hop around in the country, nothing will happen."

It has to be said that Wu Qi's eyes were extremely vicious.

After Fu Jian heard this, he didn't make a decision immediately, because once there was a frontal battle, there would be no retreat.

When Wu Qi and the others saw this, although they were anxious, they did not dare to urge them.

After a long time, Fu Jian raised his head, looked at Wu Qi with burning eyes, and asked, "How sure are you?"

Wu Qi said: "More than eighty percent."

"Really?" Fu Jian seemed to want to see through Wu Qi's heart.

Wu Qi said calmly, "Seriously!"

In fact, Wu Qi wasn't even 60% sure. The Battle of Jingzhou proved that the millions of Qin troops were just fools who couldn't afford it. If Wu Qi is given enough time, he has the confidence to turn decay into magic.

But in just over ten days, even if Wu Qi is a god, he can't do much.

If it is used well, the 300,000 Qin army in Shouyang is a great help; if it is not used well, it is a time bomb.

It's just that Wu Qi has no choice.

Fu Jian didn't know if he really believed Wu Qi, and said, "Then let's fight!"

Make a decision, and Qin will have no way out.

"promise!"

Wu Qi, Fu Rong and Di Chen nodded in unison.

The battle of Feishui unexpectedly ushered in a decisive battle. Feishui was still chosen as the battlefield, but it was not known whether history would repeat itself after the war or counterattack.

After the discussion was over, Fu Rong was ordered to return to Shouyang, led an army of 300,000 to the south, and rushed to the base camp to gather for a decisive battle with the Jin army.

At the same time, the warship brought by Xiongba intends to enter Feishui to control the river.

However, their every move is monitored by the Yashan Fleet, so how can the Zhoushan Fleet be allowed to be presumptuous. The two fleets started the first round of game at the junction of Feishui River and Huaihe River.

Because the river is narrow, no one has taken advantage of it.

…………

The east bank of Feishui, the base camp of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The taste of victory is always wonderful, especially for the few lords who arranged for their troops to go south to Jingzhou. The massive battle contribution points made them feel that the trip was worthwhile.

The changes of the Zhoushan fleet were quickly reported to the base camp.

Ouyang Shuo brought Huo Qubing and Jia Xu to the central camp again.

Although Jingzhou was victorious, Xie Shi and Xie Xuan's uncle and nephew were not very happy. This is not surprising, Xie and Huan are deadly rivals, Huan Chong is proud, how can they be happy.

Huan Chong's invitation to merit memorial has been reported to the court, and Long Yan is very happy.

In this way, the pressure on Uncle Xie Shi and his nephew will be even greater.

After quietly sending Murong Chui and Yao Chang away, Ouyang Shuo knew that Qin Jun would definitely make a move. The change of the Zhoushan fleet undoubtedly confirmed Ouyang Shuo's conjecture.

After discussing with Jia Xu, Ouyang Shuo had a clear judgment.

"You mean, the Qin Army is going to fight us?" Xie Shi was surprised after hearing Ouyang Shuo's words.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "This is their only chance to turn things around."

"Since they want to fight, let's fight!" Xie Xuan was full of fighting spirit.

Huan Chong's victory undoubtedly stimulated Xie Xuan. Although in private, Xie Xuan teased Huan Chong, saying that Huan Chong's victory this time was entirely due to the help of the alien army, and it was just a leak.

But military exploits are military exploits, and His Majesty will not delve into this matter, so Xie Xuan desires war more than anyone else.
