Chapter 1109: General Zhu Xu(2/2)
If the development continues according to the historical trajectory, then it is very likely that Zhu Xu will escape back to the Jin Dynasty.
After all, at that time, the battle took place in the border area, and the troops on both sides were mixed. As long as they could seize the opportunity and take advantage of the chaos to escape, they were very likely to succeed.
However, Xiangyang was taken back early, and Fu Jian failed to implement his ambitious plan of a southern expedition. The chaos occurred so suddenly that the Qin court was unable to react, and it collapsed from within.
At this time, Zhu Xu was stationed in Chang'an City. He was specially summoned from other places by Fu Jian.
It was originally intended to rest around Chang'an for a period of time before joining the Southern Expedition. However, before the Southern Expedition could wait, Chang'an City was occupied by Yao Qiang!
Zhu Xu was lucky. Although he failed to follow the Southern Expedition army and escape back to Jin Dynasty as originally planned, at least he was not affected by the chaos. He successfully got together with Fulong and the others, and finally formed a team.
.
But now, Fulong, who received the letter of cooperation from the Jin Dynasty, immediately thought of him. If he wanted to gain the trust of the Jin army, who could be more suitable than Zhu Xu?
"But why did he send Zhu Xu here? He shouldn't have known that Zhu Xu intended to come back!"
"My subordinates don't know this."
"It's okay even if you know!"
"When Zhu Xu was captured, he didn't want to surrender, but wanted to die. It was Fu Jian who let him go and let him continue to lead the army, and he is where he is today."
"A person like Zhu Xu will not hide his inner thoughts. I am afraid that in recent years, he has long had the idea of leading troops to the south, but due to the location of the station, he was unable to succeed."
"This time, since I sent him out to take on this job, I guess I know his thoughts very well, and there is nothing I can do about it even if I am suspicious."
"Now, Di Qin has been squeezed by Yao Qiang and basically has no territory, and almost no one is available. It is already very rare to have someone like Zhu Xu who has both military exploits and friendship with the Jin army."
"In order to resist Yao Qiang, they have no choice."
Wang Mi nodded repeatedly, as long as Di Qin and the others can approve this candidate and don't regret it midway.
Open the letter and read it carefully, and you will quickly grasp the key points.
From the content of this letter, we can see that Di Qin's sincerity in cooperation is quite sufficient and it is not just a show.
According to Fulong's arrangement, Zhu Xu was now stationed in Tianshui County on behalf of Di Qin, and this Tianshui was a place that Di Qin and Yao Qiang were competing for repeatedly.
Zhu Xu has been here for two months, and Zhu Xu's performance is quite heroic. During these two months, Tianshui City has been firmly in Di Qin's hands.
Zhu Xu did this not just to get rid of Qin. Fu Jian was able to take him in and did not embarrass him. Naturally, it held a lot of weight in the heart of a man who valued his faith.
Zhu Xu was grateful to Fu Jian for taking him in over the years, so it was normal for him to defend Tianshui County for them when Di Qin was in danger.
Of course, there are also careful thoughts. Tianshui is a very sensitive place. This place is the focus of repeated battles with Yao Qiang. Since the collapse of Di Qin, relying on Chang'an, Yao Qiang's power has continued to expand, while Fulong and the others only
As Neng gradually moved westward, the territory became smaller and smaller, and the location became worse and worse. In this famous border town named by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a protracted offensive and defensive battle had lasted for two months.
And this is also a good place to contact the Jin army.
The same military town in the upper reaches of Mian River, Hanzhong, is now in the hands of the Jin army. Although it is very close to Hanzhong, the strategic location is more important, and the more symbolic Chang'an City is still in the hands of Yao Qiang, but now
It's very close.
Tianshui is not far from Hanzhong.
According to Fulong's arrangement, the Qin army led by Zhu Xu was waiting in Tianshui. As long as the Jin army was well prepared, the two armies could join forces from Hanzhong to the north. First, they could completely drive away the Qiang people around Tianshui, and then the two armies could unite.
In this way, capturing Chang'an is just around the corner!
Of course, after capturing Chang'an, the ownership of Chang'an is still a big issue, but that will be considered later. For the Jin army, annexing Yao Qiang's territory will also have hundreds of benefits and no harm.
How could the Jin army disagree?
"Since Zhu Xu is in Tianshui, then Tianshui can be regarded as ours!" Obviously, Xu Xianzhi is very good at arithmetic.
We understand the principle of equivalent substitution quite well.
Because Zhu Xu is ours, the city Zhu Xu guards also belongs to us. What he thought was quite beautiful.
"Tianshui is not the focus, the focus is Chang'an." Liu Muzhi immediately retorted.
That's the truth.
At first glance, it seems that Yao Qiang has the upper hand, with a large territory and the old capital of Chang'an in his hands. But in fact, except for Chang'an, other places are relatively empty.
The city is not very strong, and its strength is not strong enough. As long as Chang'an City is captured, other places can almost be said to be hopeless.
"good!"
