At the same time, as the last figures of Huo Qubing and Chang Yuchun's troops entered Nanyang, after entering Nanyang, homing pigeons also landed in Hulao Pass, Xuanyuan Pass and other places.
Subsequently, a large number of troops withdrew and returned to their original positions.
In comparison, the Central Plains is quite easy to deal with. After all, the Central Plains has a pretty big flaw.
The three states of the Central Plains are spread out over a vast plain, and the cavalry can gallop freely. As long as he bypasses various cities in the Central Plains and does not engage in battle with the enemy's main force, but instead uses all his strength to burn the enemy's grain fields, the three states of the Central Plains will be destroyed in an instant.
Use all your strength to burn the enemy's grain fields. Once they have no food harvest, how can there be no chaos here without food? By then, there will be millions of refugees in the Central Plains. Even if there is someone who is thoughtful, it wouldn't be difficult for the Yellow Turban Rebellion to happen again?
Therefore, Li Xiang's military front is a completely real threat to the Central Plains.
If Zhao Kuangyin has any bad intentions, he has to consider whether it's worth it? After all, in the final analysis, after losing those tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it was not a big deal for the Jin army.
In fact, this is indeed the case. If Li Xiang was here, Zhao Kuangyin would definitely do everything he could to do it. But without Li Xiang, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses alone would not be worth it to Zhao Kuangyin!
"I've met Governor Bai!" Yue Fei said a simple courtesy as he stepped into the tent.
However, the faint smell of medicine coming from the tent made Yue Fei frown slightly.
Hearing that Bai Qi occasionally felt cold on the way, Yue Fei thought it was just Bai Qi's strategy. However, now, when Yue Fei saw Bai Qi like this and smelled the smell of medicine in the tent, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
The war was about to begin, and Bai Qi would not be able to fall down at this time.
"Cough!... Governor Yue...cough cough..." Bai Qi struggled to get up and return the salute, but Yue Fei took a few steps quickly to help Bai Qi down.
Bai Qi is the Grand Governor of Yongzhou, and Yue Fei is the Grand Governor of Jingzhou. The two are of equal rank, and there is not much gap in seniority. Yue Fei saluted Bai Qi, but Bai Qi had to return the salute.
However, seeing Bai Qi like this, Yue Fei couldn't bear to let him go through any more trouble, so he had no choice but to stop him.
"Brother Bai, please take care of yourself and don't work yourself too hard!" Yue Fei said worriedly.
In ancient times, many young people fell ill and died when they were only in their twenties and thirties. Even if we do not take into account those who died young due to poor living conditions and low immunity, even young people from wealthy families and children of the royal family could not avoid early death. Take Taiyuan Hospital as an example. This institution was relatively powerful among ancient Chinese hospitals. However, even Taiyuan Hospital seems to be very powerless against the diseases of princes and princesses, and the mortality rate is extremely high.
Taking the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods as an example, Kangxi gave birth to about 30 sons, and more than 10 died in infancy. Yongzheng gave birth to about 10 sons, and more than 5 died in childhood. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty had 17 sons and 10 daughters, a total of 27 children, with an average life span of 24.2 years. Among them, the average life expectancy of women is 18.8 years, and the average life expectancy of sons is 27.7 years.
Therefore, in ancient times, getting sick was really not a good thing.
Doctors are never omnipotent, and the same is true for miracle doctors. Don't think that just because a miracle doctor is here, everything will be fine. Who can completely guarantee this kind of thing!
Modern medicine cannot guarantee that everything will be fine for you, let alone ancient medicine!
Of course, these generals who narrowly escaped death on the battlefield are not comparable to those who are pampered and privileged. They have excellent physiques, and coupled with excellent doctors, most accidents will not happen.
However, it seems that these generals who narrowly escaped death on the battlefield will not be able to get better from the hidden wounds they have accumulated in the future when they grow old.
"It doesn't matter. Brother-in-law is here today... ahem... Is he here for the battle?"
It was late spring, and the coldness had subsided. Ordinary people had already put on light clothes, but Bai Qi was wrapped in a thick bearskin cloak, sitting cross-legged on the hot brick bed made of blue bricks, and his body could not help but tremble. Trembling, like a flame about to go out!
His hair had begun to fall out, his face was as yellow as wax paper, and he kept coughing while talking, making a hollow sound.
"Ahem, when we were about to arrive in Xuzhou, Qingzhou Hua Divine Doctor's disciple Li Dangzhi took a look. Sun Divine Doctor also came from Luoyang a few days ago. Brother Yue, don't worry!" Before Yue Fei could answer, Bai Qi had already taken the initiative. spoke.
Yue Fei was about to answer, but just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly realized something!
One second he was talking about the war, and the next second he was talking about his illness. This was not in line with Bai Qi's character.
As both god-level commanders, Yue Fei already had a lot of guesses with just a quick thought. When it came to war-related matters, Yue Fei's brains turned faster than anyone else's.
It is precisely because of this that it is difficult for even a god-level counselor to predict a god-level commander on the battlefield. God-level counselors should not be designing on the battlefield to deal with god-level commanders. These god-level commanders are too sensitive to the battlefield, and no one can match them in this regard.
It is best for counselors to plot against the commander-in-chief outside the battlefield. Isn’t this how Li Mu and Lian Po, who were both the four famous generals of the Warring States Period with Bai Qi, were suppressed by Qiang Qin?
"It's just that although this plan is brilliant, without Brother Bai, the leader of the army..." Yue Fei was in trouble.
The war is about to begin, and without Bai Qi to lead the army, this is not a good thing!
good! The war against Japan had just ended, and even Su Dingfang was still entangled with Murong Ke of Yuanmeng in the Western Regions. But, so what, Li Xiang still has to start at this time.
Although the two-front war is a huge effort, there will be rewards if you put in the effort.
Just a little surprise is actually enough. Starting a war at this time can definitely be a surprise. Liu Che would never have thought that Li Xiang would attack him at this time.
Generally speaking, a war has just ended and a war will not start immediately.
Generally speaking, while there is still war in one place, there will not be another war in another place.
But it is precisely because most people would not expect that taking the initiative to start a war at this time will produce unexpected results. In the end, it is more likely to achieve fruitful results.
Now, Li Xiang wanted to catch Liu Che by surprise and take the initiative to start this battle.
Moreover, Zhang Liang also pointed out to Li Xiang that although there was a temporary truce between Zhu and Liu, most of Liu Che's powerful generals were concentrated in Jiaozhou.
At this point, choosing to send troops at this time is of course beneficial to Li Xiang's side.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xiang met Bai Qi when he arrived in Xuzhou...
