After Xie An, who is Wang Mi?

In terms of qualifications, he is no match for Wang Gong. In terms of age, Wang Gong can be Wang Mi's father!

In terms of ability, Wang Gong considers himself to be no worse than Wang Mi.

This kind of confidence, of course, comes from the fact that he has never seen Wang Mi's performance on the battlefield. From the perspective of powerful officials who have emerged from orthodox families like Wang Gong, they can't imagine how tragic it is on the battlefield.

.

When a soldier stands on the battlefield, what does he have to face?

He thought it would be easy to win the battle!

These victories that Wang Mi achieved were absolutely inseparable from the imperial court's support for him. Therefore, the imperial court still accounted for the majority of the victory. It was a great honor to be given credit to Wang Mi.

He, Wang Mi, is just a picker!

If he wasn't of the right age and had some status, how could he have won Xie An's favor and become his grandson-in-law?

Wang Mi was able to achieve what he did today entirely because of Xie An's support behind him. Without Xie An, neither Wang Gong nor the court would have handed the Beifu soldiers into his hands.

However, Wang Gong seemed to have forgotten a question.

A big question.

When he accused Wang Mi of being able to command the army because of his in-law relationship, he forgot that Wang Gong's current status in the court seemed to be inseparable from his sister.

If the queen chosen by Sima Yao was a noble daughter from another family, then the position of Prime Minister would naturally fall into the hands of other families!

This is the objective fact, but Wang Gong did not think so, so he issued this edict to the Beifu soldiers under the guise of the imperial court.

"Zhiyuan, do we really want to go back?"

"Could it be that if the army wins and it is so difficult, why can't they rest here in Yecheng for a few days?" Liu Yu thought very hard. He felt that the imperial court was joking with Beifu.

In his opinion, even if the court had any dissatisfaction, it should not treat the army that had won the victory so harshly.

Isn’t it necessary to take a break?

Although Wang Mi had just explained to him the thoughts of the senior ministers in the court, Liu Yu still couldn't accept it.

Liu Yu's thoughts were also in the minds of many soldiers present.

This made Wang Mi very helpless, so he had to ask for the edict back and show everyone the date in it.

"Brothers, please take a look. It will take at least ten days for this edict to be sent to Yecheng."

"However, ten days ago, our army, like the Xianbei Army, was waiting under Ye City and did not really start fighting. At that time, the imperial court was already ready to recall us to Jiankang. What does this mean?

"

"What does it mean?"

"Zhiyuan, speak up!" He Mai, who was always smart, was having trouble with his thinking this time.

Wang Mi closed the edict and said calmly: "This means that in the eyes of the court, we cannot win this battle!"

"What?"

"The imperial court actually thinks we can't win?"

"That's unreasonable!"

"They actually look down on us!"

As soon as this statement came out, it really stirred up a thousand waves and exploded among the brothers in Beifu. They talked about it and cursed each other one after another.

Of course!

Of course it should be scolded like this!

The imperial court of the Jin Dynasty is something that deserves to be scolded. It should have been scolded long ago. Wang Mi still feels that it is too late to scold them now!

Too light!

Unexpectedly, these rough guys in Beifu are actually civilized people. Until now, they have not said anything bad to the court.

Now that I think about it, the brothers are really capable and much more useful than the incompetent and petty Jin Dynasty.

"Brothers, please be quiet."

"Please be quiet for a moment." Seeing that the brothers had almost finished scolding and should have relieved themselves, Wang Mi pressed his hands and asked everyone to stop for a while.

He is still quite prestigious among the Beifu soldiers. As soon as he spoke out, the curses from his brothers decreased a lot. Although there were still some scattered voices, it was already much better.

Among the angry people, Wang Mi accurately targeted Liu Yu and Liu Jinu, who had the biggest objections!

Liu Yu was originally a bad-tempered man, but this time he was despised by the court, and he couldn't bear it anymore!

Wang Mi looked at him and said firmly: "Ji Nu, why are you doing this? You see, I'm not in a hurry, so you don't have to think too much."

"In this way, you can understand."

"The reason why the imperial court asked us to return to Jiankang quickly is because they didn't know the fighting situation in Yecheng and thought that we were either defeated or standing still!"

"If that's the case, why do we need to rest?"

"You can leave if you want to, right?"

turn out to be……

Is that so?

Liu Yu was shocked, but after thinking about it, he realized that Wang Mi's idea was indeed reasonable.

The road between Yecheng and Jiankang is far away. If the victory of the army is known, it will be too late to issue this edict.

From this point of view, I must go back to this capital city.

But……

It is indeed quite painful.

Although the army was victorious and the morale of the soldiers was high, strictly speaking, their physical strength had been greatly depleted and they were simply unable to continue the long journey.

The imperial court made such a request because it did not regard the Beifu soldiers as human beings at all!

Among everyone present, Liu Yu was not the only one who had such thoughts?

So, they stared at Wang Mi with burning eyes, waiting for his arrangement.

The court is no longer reliable!

If you want to have a future, you still have to follow Shilang Wang!

Faced with the expectations of his brothers, Wang Mi did his part.

"There is not any room for relaxation in this matter. The imperial court has issued an order. As ministers, of course we have no reason to disobey it. However, our situation is like this. The army is tired and cannot travel far."

"We have two options."

Wang Mi stretched out two fingers. Before he could finish speaking, He Wuji was shocked.

"Two ways?"

"We actually have two choices?"

"Really?"

This is the fact, and the court's request is so urgent, as if the Beifu soldiers will be disbanded as soon as they return to Jiankang.

Obviously, they are already very afraid of Beifu's illustrious military exploits.

Under such unfavorable conditions, Wang Mi still boasted that he had two ways to solve the problem.

Isn’t that bragging?

Of course, Shilang Wang is not bragging. How can he be bragging after all this time?

I'm bragging at this time. If I mess up, won't I be blasted by my brothers?

He still wants to live well!

I don’t want to get blasted!

So, I just heard him say confidently: "There is indeed a way. Don't worry, everyone. It's not that I'm very capable. I'm just following the usual routine."

"Since the imperial court has an order, we must set off immediately. However, the circumstances can be distinguished. We can make the decision on this matter."

"We divided our brothers into three groups, and one group of elite soldiers and generals stayed in Yecheng to guard it together with Amai."

"One group must stay here, including those who are wounded, older, and in poor physical condition."

"In the end there is a group of soldiers left, whose abilities are in between. Their physical strength can support us in walking back to Jiankang, and they will not interfere with our overall situation in Yecheng. These people can go back with us and take care of the old, weak and sick.

Being near Yecheng is good for them and good for us, so it won't drag down the army."

Wang Mi is right about this. These old, weak, sick and disabled people already have half their lives left. If they follow them on a long journey, they may be left halfway.

As for staying in Yecheng, on the one hand, it will help them recover their physical strength, and on the other hand, they can also recover from their injuries. Some soldiers may be able to return to the battlefield if they recover from their injuries, which is always beneficial.

"What about another way?" He Mai asked.
