While Wang Jing was observing the enemy's situation in the distance, among the former Qin army on the opposite side, there were also people standing on a high slope in the south of the ravine looking towards the Sihong Army camp.
On a high slope, several burly generals were protecting a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged figure is slightly thin. In addition to his appearance with a strong Hu style, his temperament is more scribe-oriented, which is somewhat different from the killing momentum of a military lieutenant general.
"General, the camp has been set up, and the army craftsmen are making trebuchets and sentry guns..."
A general reported in a deep voice.
This middle-aged man was the eastern route commander of the Qin Army before the Battle of Feishui in history, and he was named Fulong of Yangping Gong.
He was Fu Jian's most trusted clan general. In the history of the original world, he led the former Qin Dynasty's 200,000 elite troops to go south first, but was defeated and died in the end, causing Fu Jian's morale to collapse.
It can be said that if Fulong could have performed better in the Battle of Feishui, the great cause of the former Qin Dynasty would not have dissipated so quickly.
After arriving in China mainland.
For example, famous celebrities and generals in history will definitely first inquire about their own affairs in history books to understand their future situation.
Fulong learned about the situation in the former Qin Dynasty after the Battle of Feishui, including his and Fu Jian's future, from the mouths of some scholars from later dynasties.
When he knew that the former Qin army would be defeated in the Battle of Feishui, he still couldn't believe it.
The former Qin Dynasty dispatched as many as one million troops. The 200,000 forward troops he led were just one group to attack Shouchun on the east route. Murong Chui and other generals also attacked Jingxiang on the west route.
The forwards have reached Jianghuai, and hundreds of thousands of troops are marching in the Central Plains and Guanzhong.
Such a massive force is unprecedented, and can only be compared with the millions of troops that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty mobilized to attack Goguryeo in the entire history.
Fulong didn't know about Yang Guang. In his mind, it was not an exaggeration to describe the millions of soldiers of the former Qin Dynasty as "throwing a whip to cut off the flow."
As long as all the armies gather together, heading south like a torrent, the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will be unable to resist it.
but.
It was the Qin army that was defeated! This made Fulong unable to believe it for a while.
But later, Fulong slowly adjusted his mood, and found more than a dozen scholars for constant verification, and finally understood the causes and consequences of the defeat in the Battle of Feishui.
There are clear records of the Battle of Feishui in history books.
At the beginning, the former Qin army did take advantage of its large number of soldiers and generals, and even captured the Eastern Jin general Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu pretended to surrender, but secretly communicated to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Fu Jian was good at both civil and military affairs, and was talented in governing the country and recognizing people. He was especially open-minded and attached great importance to talents.
This was his advantage. With his and Wang Meng's efforts, the former Qin Dynasty destroyed many countries in Guanzhong and unified the north to achieve hegemony.
There are not many such achievements in history.
However, his advantage is that he attaches great importance to talents, and his disadvantage is that he pays too much attention to talents, especially those who surrender to him, and he places them in high positions.
Among them was Murong Chui, the God of War of the Yan State, who defected to Fu Jian because of the civil strife in Yan. Fu Jian went out to greet him personally and told Murong Chui that he "fell in love at first sight" with him.
There was also General Yao Chang, whom he also trusted and valued very much, and appointed Yao Chang as General Longxiang.
Murong Chui and Yao Chang were indeed capable, but when they defected to Fu Jian, they were not alone, but brought their own generals and clan members with them.
They all have their own teams.
If Murong Chui only came with his family members, Wang Meng would never be afraid of him. It was precisely because they had their own team and a large number of people that they could stand on their own if given the chance.
So Wang Meng kept persuading Fu Jian to kill Murong Chui, and even used the golden sword trick to get rid of Murong Chui and his son...
Everything Wang Meng did was to eliminate the hidden dangers of the former Qin Dynasty.
Because Fu Jian was very good at surrendering and joining his own forces, and did not even take the initiative to disperse them. Therefore, the former Qin Dynasty seemed to be strong, but in fact, each tribe had its own small thoughts.
Leaving aside Yao Chang for the moment, he indeed had no ambitions before the Feishui War, but Murong Chui always wanted to restore the country and was hiding evil intentions.
This is true for Murong Chui and Yao Chang.
The same was true for Zhu Xu and Fu Jian. He believed that he had made the opponent surrender with his charisma, and he had an army of millions in his hands. As long as Zhu Xu was not a fool, he would understand that the Eastern Jin Dynasty would be defeated.
Therefore, Fu Jian was very considerate of Zhu Xu and constantly listened to the spy's ideas during the campaign.
The consequences can be imagined.
After the defeat in the Battle of Feishui, Murong Chui protected Fu Jian in his retreat, which was regarded as repaying the other's appreciation and promotion. Then he found an opportunity to return to Hebei and became independent, and finally became the founding monarch of Hou Yan.
Yao Chang, who was very new to Fu Jian, finally occupied Chang'an and coerced Fu Jian to give in, but to no avail, he sent people to strangle Fu Jian to death and became the founding monarch of the Later Qin...
From this point of view.
Fu Jian had a really good eye for judging people. The two generals he trusted later became the founding emperors of the country.
It's a pity that he can recognize people, but he can't use them.
Once you trust the other party, you give all your trust. This is not at all like the character of a hegemon who swept across the north and almost unified the world.
After knowing the future of Qian Qin and Fu Jian.
Fulong hated the rebellious officials and traitors such as Murong Chui and Yao Chang so much that he wanted to kill the generals of the Murong clan and the Qiang clan in the army.
However, he could know the future of the former Qin Dynasty from the mouths of later generations of scholars.
The generals of the Murong clan and the Yao clan of the Qiang people in the army can also find out. After coming to this time and knowing that all the creatures in history have come to China, they will naturally be curious about their ending in history.
After inquiring like this, the clan generals of the Murong clan and the Yao clan were immediately shocked.
After the two knew the reason why Fu Jian was killed and Murong Chui established Hou Yan, they knew that they would be attacked by Fulong.
They immediately joined forces and left the Wuhe Qianqin camp. They were obviously on guard against Fulong suddenly attacking them.
At this time, go north to deal with Sihong's army.
There is only Fulong's family.
"General... this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even with catapults, sentry guns and other equipment, I'm afraid it will be difficult to cross the big ditch in front. Under a strong attack, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties!"
While Fulong was carefully observing the enemy camp, the general who just spoke hesitated and couldn't help but say.
Fulong looked back and said: "I know everything you said! But our army is short of food and grass right now, and Sihong's army is taking advantage of the situation to attack. If we don't go north to meet the enemy, what else can we do?"
"If you have any good ideas, you can tell me directly. If it makes sense, I will naturally obey you!"
"this……"
The general's expression changed, and he thought hard, only to realize that he had no way to deal with it.
after all.
It is an objective fact that the Wuhe Camp is short of food and grass, and he cannot conjure food and grass out of thin air. If the army is short of food, the entire army will collapse.
