Chapter 1151: Sending troops to Youzhou
Liu Yu hugged Cai Yan's hand tightly, and said solemnly: "Silly girl, you must remember: I am your husband." Looking at the latest and most complete, I will never let my wife suffer even a little grievance, even if it is an enemy of the world, I will not hesitate! ”
Cai Yan was moved, Liu Yu was also moved, and even Ren Hongchang and Luan Fengwei, who were eavesdropping, were also moved, and for a while, Liu Yu was completely wrapped in a hot gaze.
After being tired of being with his wives for a while, Liu Yu said again: "Since Luan Fengwei has three teams, it is better to divide them into three parts." One team followed me to Youzhou, one team stayed at home to protect Hong'er, and the last team followed Yu'er and Yan'er into the palace...... Well, I think it's okay to separate the Beiwei army, let He Man lead a thousand infantry to defend the Zhou Mufu, and let Xu Chu lead a thousand cavalry to protect Xu'er and Yan'er to Beijing, and I'll take the rest of the men and horses to Youzhou! In addition, after you enter the palace, you must please the Queen Mother, if the emperor provokes you, you can teach him a lesson, if he does not provoke you, you must also squeeze out some panacea or rare books from him and the Queen Mother! ”
Liu Xuan and Cai Yan looked at each other and smiled, deliberately pretending to be unhesitating and impassioned, and said in unison: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Standing on the improvised point platform, Liu Yu coldly issued an order in the cool autumn wind: "Huang Zhong, order you to be the striker." With Tian Feng as the military advisor, he led the department and Zhao Yun, Huang Xu, and Tai Shici to move forward. Dian Wei, order you to be the left striker. With Cheng Yu as the military advisor, he led the department and two generals, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, to sweep the left flank of the Chinese army. Hua Xiong, order you to be the right forward, with Fu Zhi as the military division, and lead the subordinates and the two generals Pang De and Wu Anguo to sweep the right flank of the Chinese army. The rest of the people formed a Chinese army with me, escorting grain, grass, and baggage. ”
"Your Ministers obey."
"Okay, let's go!"
There are three pioneers to open the way. Local officials from Jizhou responded along the way, and the army soon arrived at Anping State in northern Hebei. Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Hua Xiong all led their subordinates to stay here to wait for Liu Yu's new order, and Jizhou Muhuang Fu Song was also leading 50,000 Jizhou troops to deploy here.
"General Huangfu. It's been a long time, but it's always been good, huh? Liu Yu knew that a straight soldier like Huangfu Song, you could make him happier by calling him "General" than "Lord Zhou Mu".
As expected, a smile appeared on Huangfu Song's originally solemn face after hearing this, and he nodded and saluted back: "General Liu." Hello. Please. Let's go into the city and talk again. ”
Liu Yu asked the generals and strategists to lead the army to camp outside the city, and he only took the twelve Luan Fengwei led by Fan Lihua to follow Huangfu Song into Anping City. came to the conference hall, and after taking a seat, Liu Yu asked directly: "Please also ask General Huangfu to explain the current situation in Youzhou for me." ”
Seeing Liu Yu so straight to the point, Huangfu Song also put away his polite smile, and said: "The current situation is not optimistic. In addition to Fanyang City, which is garrisoned by Lord Liu Yu of Youzhou, and Liaoxi City, which is guarded by the Gongsun family, other county towns have fallen into the hands of thieves. The most odious thing is that Zhang Ju, a traitor, also connived at the cavalry of Wuhuan to loot and slaughter the local people, if it weren't for the fact that more than a dozen big landlords in Younan and Hebei spontaneously organized to contain refugees and resist bandits, the current Younan would have been a river of blood! ”
Liu Yu knows. The "big landlord" in Huangfu Song's mouth is most likely a large farm under his name. It seems that Tang Zhou and Su Shuang did a good job, saving the refugees without arousing the suspicion of the government......
After Huangfu Song praised a few words, he continued: "As for the area of Liaodong in the northern part of the country, because it is too far away and there is a military accident on the way, the old man does not know the exact news. However, it is close to the base camp of the Gongsun family, and according to the old man's guess, those Xianbei cavalry will not have a good time! ”
After discussing the military situation with Huangfu Song for a while, Liu Yu politely rejected his suggestion to let Liu Yu stay in the city for one night on the grounds of "the speed of the soldiers", and returned to the big tent outside the city with the original team. Liu Yu didn't expect this move to win the heartfelt admiration of Huangfu Song, he praised Liu Yu as "the pillar of the country", and insisted on giving Liu Yu 30,000 stone of grain and grass, saying what to say, "talk about your heart, and dress up with strength".
As soon as he entered the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Yu immediately held a general meeting regardless of the fact that it was late.
"Huang Zhong, you lead the forward army, set off tomorrow on the fifth watch, pass through Boling, Hejian, Renqiu and go directly to Fanyang, and clear the thieves along the way. Dian Wei, you lead the left forward army, set off tomorrow on the fifth watch, make a detour through Anxiang, Zhongshan and then reach Fanyang, and clear the thieves along the way. Huaxiong, you lead the right forward army, set off tomorrow on the fifth watch, make a detour through Leling, Bohai and then reach Fanyang, and clear the thieves along the way. The Chinese army will reorganize until tomorrow at noon before setting off. The coordination of the various units and the logistical supply of the troops were to be discussed by the four military officers and the two chief secretaries on their own. ”
"Your Ministers obey."
After returning to the dormitory and having eaten a dinner full of Fan Lihua's own cooking, Liu Yu began to contact Tang Zhou.
"How is the master?" Tang Zhou was pleasantly surprised that Liu Yu took the initiative to contact him.
"I'm fine, how are you?"
"Thank you for your master's concern, and the minions are also very good." Tang Zhou's voice trembled a little, as if he was about to cry with emotion.
"How's it going to settle the refugees and resist the bandits?"
"Back to the master, there are currently as many as 550,000 refugees in various places in the slave and Su Shuang. At the request of the refugees, we have expanded the size of the convoy. Now there are at least 5,000 people, and the most are in the tens of thousands. According to statistics, more than 9,000 bandits of all kinds have been exterminated in various localities, and dozens of attacks by Zhang Ju and Qiu Li's residence have been repulsed. ”
"Well, you're doing a great job, I'm satisfied."
"It is the blessing of the slave to be able to serve the master, and the little effect achieved by the slave is not all thanks to the blessing of the master!"
Accustomed to Tang Zhou's flattery, Liu Yu continued to ask without moving: "How is the situation in Liaodong?" What kind of actions did the Gongsun family have? ”
"Back to the master, although the Gongsun family is powerful in Liaodong, it is also helpless against the Xianbei light cavalry that comes and goes like the wind, and at present, it is only capable of protecting the three cities of Xiangping, Daifang, and Xuansu."
"What about Liaodong County and Lelang County among the five counties in Youbei?"
"Because Lelang County is far away, it has not been plundered by Xianbei light cavalry. And Liaodong County has long been occupied by Xianbei. It has become a temporary base camp for Xianbei. ”
"I remember that the Gongsun family had two very powerful cavalry, what was it called 'Black and White Righteous Servant', where are they now?"
"Back to the master. The 'Black Horse Yicong' led by Gongsun Du has been clearing the Xianbei light cavalry near Xiangping, the base camp of the Gongsun family, while the 'White Horse Yicong' led by Gongsun Zhan is defending against the Wuhuan cavalry in Liaoxi County. ”
"Why did Gongsun Chan go to Liaoxi?"
"Liaoxi Taishou is Gongsun Zhan's father-in-law."
"I see. Well, tell me more about the situation in the southern part of the country that you know. ”
"Yes, master. At present, Zhang Ju has occupied Beiping County except for Yuyang County, and is now attacking Zhongshan County, and he has about 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command. However, most of them were forcibly recruited by him, so morale was extremely low. It is estimated that there are less than 40,000 of them worthy of the First World War. In addition, Qiu Liju, the king of Wuhuan, was entrenched in Dai County, but most of the Wuhuan cavalry was assigned by him to loot in various places, and it is estimated that there are less than 10,000 soldiers left. ”
########################################################
Walked all the way to Fan Yang. From time to time, he received good news and spoils from the vanguard army of the three routes, and in order to cooperate with the progress of the vanguard army, Liu Yu could only order to slow down and advance to the destination at a speed of no more than 100 miles a day. After more than ten days of leisurely marching and watching the scenery. Liu Yu finally came to Fanyang City.
There is no smoke of gunpowder in the wars of this era. Except for the faint smell of blood, Liu Yu didn't smell anything else, but just looking at the somewhat broken city wall, he could imagine the fierceness between attack and defense.
"Lord, what are you thinking? Lord Liu Yu is waiting for you at the city gate! Fan Lihua reminded softly behind Liu Yu.
Liu Yu came back to his senses and looked in the direction of the city gate. Sure enough, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Hua Xiong will be waiting for him with Liu Yu, who has had a relationship. Liu Yu dismounted and hurried to Liu Yu to take a look, and found that the "cousin's" previous thick black hair had turned white, and the look that had been flying on his face had disappeared, replaced by haggard and bitter. Liu Yu couldn't help but step forward and hold his hand. looked directly at him and said, "Lord Liu, this time has really hurt you!" ”
Liu Yu's eyes were wet. shook Liu Yu back vigorously, and then said in a somewhat deep voice: "Thank you for your concern, please let Hou Ye enter the city." ”
When he came to the conference hall, Liu Yu invited Liu Yu to sit down, but Liu Yu was not polite to him, and after sitting down on the main seat, he asked: "How much grain and grass and soldiers do you have in Fan Yang now?" ”
"There are still more than 37,000 soldiers who can fight," and then Liu Yu said with some shame: "Because the rebels rebels rebelled during the autumn harvest, this year's harvest was basically robbed." Although Fan Yang had some food in stock, I took in nearly 200,000 refugees during the war. If Hou Ye doesn't come, I think in five days at most, our whole city will have to eat grass roots and bark! ”
Liu Yu thought for a while and asked, "How many soldiers and civilians are there in Fan Yang now?" ”
"More than 633,000 people."
Liu Yu turned his head to look at Xun Yu, and he immediately said, "Lord, the military rations carried by our army on this expedition are enough for 300,000 people to eat for a year. ”
As soon as Xun Yu's words fell, Liu Yu heard Liu Yu's relieved exhalation. Smiling at him, Liu Yu looked at Huang Zhong and asked, "What did you gain from clearing out thieves along the way?" ”
"Our forward army has annihilated 4,867 bandits and thieves, and 2,135 Wuhuan cavalry."
"Our right forward army annihilated 5,890 bandit troops and 1,863 Wuhuan cavalry."
Dian Wei stood up, proudly glanced at Huang Zhong and Hua Xiong, who had replied before, and said loudly: "Our left forward army annihilated 9,531 bandit rebels and 6,672 Wuhuan cavalry. ”
"Why are there so many?" Liu Yu felt a little puzzled.
"Not long ago, our army encountered nearly 20,000 allied troops of Zhang Ju and Wuhuan near Zhongshan Kingdom, and with the help of Cheng Yu's military division, we besieged this group of rebels in a valley. First, a fire burned, and then a rush to kill. Good guys, in this battle alone, our army killed more than 10,000 rebels, including more than 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry! ”
Liu Yu nodded with relief, "So that's the case." In other words, if no more troops are recruited from the clan, there are now less than 10,000 available soldiers in Qiu Liju, the king of Wuhuan? ”
"The lord doesn't want to ......," Guo Jia looked at Liu Yu and smiled.
"Liu Yu won't think about anything...... Liu Yu has a rogue smile on his face, and he said with nothing to do with me: "It's you who should be thinking about you." I will hand over to you the right to transfer troops, and I only ask that this rebellion be quelled within two months. As for what to do, that's your business, I don't care! ”
Liu Yu looked at Liu Yu in surprise. And Huang Zhong, Guo Jia and others, who had long been accustomed to Liu Yu's style of acting, had to look at each other and smile bitterly. Ignoring them no more, Liu Yu led Fan Lihua and a group of Yingying Yanyan under her to follow Liu Yu's maid to the residence he had arranged for Liu Yu.
"Lord, why don't you participate in the formulation of the battle plan?" After settling down, Fan Lihua asked.
Liu Yu smiled slightly, and explained "seriously": "One of the abilities that a superior must have is to know people well. Guo Jia, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, and Cheng Yu, the four military advisors, and Xun Yu and Xun Yu, the two main bookkeepers, are rare wise men in the world, and the strategies and tactics they come up with must be many times more clever than what I came up with. Rather than stay there to help, give them a free rein. ”
"It sounds like it makes a lot of sense. But I still think it's the lord making excuses for his laziness! Fan Lihua mercilessly used her cold and pleasant voice to expose Liu Yu's deepest thoughts buried in her heart.
Indeed, Liu Yu is really lazy! Having experienced the world of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Liu Yu has long had no expectations for conquering the world. Now in this world, his golden finger is not very restricted, so he simply let go of his hand, determined to be a quiet beautiful man, and sit and watch the free play of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms! By the way, take a look. Look at the reason why the Heavenly Dao of this world is so "conniving" with him?!
After being exposed by Fan Lihua. Liu Yu was a little annoyed and angry, thinking of Liu Yu's previous hints, he no longer kept his manners, reached out and pinched Fan Lihua's plump buttocks, and said in her exclamation full of shame: "How can I be that kind of person?" Although I didn't participate in the planning meeting, I kept guessing in my mind what they might have come up with! ”
Fan Lihua may have been advised by Liu Yu and them a long time ago, and she didn't make a fuss in the face of Liu Yu's "hands-on actions". After ignoring the humility and whitening Liu Yu, he asked again and again.
Not to. Liu Yu could only say yes: "Considering the strength and morale of both the enemy and us, I guess that most of the military divisions will divide the army into three routes." All the way to attack Zhang Ju's old nest Yuyang County, all the way to attack Beiping County occupied by Zhang Chun, and all the way to raid Daijun to annihilate the Wuhuan cavalry entrenched there......"
###########################################################
As Liu Yu expected, Guo Jia and the others really divided the army into three routes.
All the way, Huang Zhong was the main general, Tian Feng was used as the military division, accompanied by Zang Ba, Zhao Yun, Huang Xu, and Tai Shici, and led 30,000 infantry to attack Yuyang County; All the way, with Dian Wei as the main general, Cheng Yu as the military division, accompanied by Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang Yan, Xu Rong four generals, led 30,000 cavalry to attack Daijun; All the way, Hua Xiong was the main general, and he was used as a military advisor, accompanied by four generals Wu Anguo, Pang De, Gao Shun, and Lejin, and led 30,000 infantry to attack Beiping County; Guan Hai commanded 5,000 men to take care of the grain, grass, baggage, and wounded and sick people left in the city, while Yu Ban was borrowed by Liu Yushang to train the nearly 40,000 defenders in Fanyang City.
More than 20 days passed in a blink of an eye, and Liu Yu became more and more nervous, because the three-way army had not reported back for nearly ten days. However, Liu Yu is not worried, after all, his commanders and auxiliary military divisions are all super-first-class figures, and it is difficult for Zhang Ju and Qiu Liju to be difficult for them. Just when Liu Yu's old god was persuading Liu Yu to calm down and wait for the good news, Zhang Ju gave Liu Yu a slap in the face.
"What, what do you say? Zhang Ju's army lined up in the city? After listening to the report of the captain of the city gate, Liu Yu looked at Liu Yu with blank eyes.
Liu Yu also felt a little incredible after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at Guo Jia, who was wearing a thick cotton jacket and holding a small stove. Who knew that this kid not only didn't analyze it for Liu Yu, but also suggested like an impulsive and reckless man: "When Zhang Ju's army first arrives, the lord should go out of the city to give him a dismount!" ”
Raising his eyebrows, Liu Yu did not refuse, regardless of Liu Yu's prevention, he ordered Guo Jia to take Guan Hai and Yu Ban to defend the city, and he only brought 3,000 Beiwei troops and twelve Luan Fengwei, so he swaggered out of the city to fight against Zhang Jujun.
Probably never seen so many beauties on the battlefield, Liu Yu caused a great sensation as soon as they appeared. Both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. As long as it is normal, a man will maintain a little demeanor when he first sees a beautiful woman. So after waiting for Liu Yu and them to set up a full array, Zhang Jujun galloped out and said loudly to Liu Yu: "Who is coming?" ”
Liu Yu's cold voice resounded throughout the battlefield: "Liu Yu." ”
Liu Yu himself didn't expect his reputation to be so loud. As soon as the words fell into the enemy's line, there was a commotion. The enemy rider who asked just now was very cooperative and asked in a trembling voice: "You are the big man and the horse, Yang Zhai Hou, Yuzhou Mu, Liu Yu who led the general of Zhenbei?" ”
Liu Yu maintained a cold expression and replied coolly: "Yes." ”
At this time, the noise on the other side became louder, and Liu Yu even saw that some people's weapons had fallen to the ground. Just when the enemy was about to bomb the camp, a voice rang out: "What are you afraid of? No matter how powerful he Liu Yu is, he is alone. We have an army of 70,000, and one person can drown him with a mouthful of spit! ”
With this very unhygienic remark, the enemy horse from earlier returned to the battle. In exchange for a middle-aged man riding a white horse, wearing an imperial robe and wearing a purple and gold crown. He was at least two arrows away from Liu Yu and shouted, "I am the Great Yan Emperor Zhang Ju. ”
What kind of fuss is this guy going to make when he stupidly runs out to introduce himself? Liu Yu looked at Zhang Ju with the eyes of a fool, he was probably a little unnatural, shook his shoulders and continued: "Marquis Liu is a good pastor in Yuzhou, what are you doing when you come to Youzhou in the cold?" ”
It seems that this old boy is really sick. Didn't the man who ran back just now say everything? I'm now the "General of Zhenbei", you rebelled in my territory, won't I do it?! Liu Yu didn't want to listen to him talk nonsense anymore, and said coldly: "Don't talk much, if you want to fight, you will fight!" ”
Although it was far away, Liu Yu could still see that Zhang Ju's face, which was originally white, suddenly turned foie gras. He took a few quick breaths, and shouted a nonsense at Liu Yu: "Since Liu Hou insists on looking for death, then I can't complain!" Then he shouted at the camp, "Who will take down this arrogant boy with me?" ”
There was a slight commotion in the enemy formation. But no one made the list. Although Liu Yu couldn't see Zhang Ju's face now, he could guess from his constantly trembling figure that his expression at the moment must be very exciting.
"My lord. Your prestige is too great......" Fan Lihua rode to Liu Yu's side, and said with a look of eagerness: "Let me go and pick a few, right?" ”
Liu Yu looked at Zhang Ju, who couldn't get off the stage, and then looked at the fighting intent on Fan Lihua's face, and said softly: "Okay, you go down and play for a while, remember, safety first!" ”
Fan Lihua smiled at Liu Yu and said, "Don't worry, lord!" After speaking, she galloped out and called out in her crisp voice: "Well, my aunt is Liu Hou's personal guard captain Fan Lihua, does anyone dare to fight with me?" ”
Maybe I have never encountered an example of being called by a female general, and the scene was cold all of a sudden. After a while, the boss broke the silence by Zhang Ju: "What are you doing?" Don't you dare to bite when you are bullied by a woman? ”
The enemy formation was in a riot like waking up from a dream, and then several different roars came out, "arrogance", "slut looking for death", "not knowing whether to live or die", and then the five horsemen galloped out. Probably only saw each other after coming out of the formation, they all stopped in front of the formation, and after humbling each other for a while, a black-faced man with a stick galloped towards Fan Lihua alone.
The black-faced man came to Fan Lihua and first made an introduction from Liu Yu: "A certain family is Meng Yi, the general of Dayan Zhenbei!" ”
Fan Lihua shook Liu Yu and ordered Zheng Hun to make a special three-edged gun for her, and said coldly at Meng Yi: "Please." ”
Meng Yi didn't make a move immediately, but looked Fan Lihua up and down, and said with a smile: "Tsk, a beautiful woman like you should stay on the kang, why did she run to the battlefield?" However, since you want to play, my brother will accompany you. Look, my brother has a big bang! ”
Liu Yu's face darkened suddenly, although Fan Lihua is not his woman yet, but listening to Liu Yu's meaning, and looking at Fan Lihua's own attitude, she is obviously ready to join the Crystal Palace, how can the woman she booked by herself allow others to flirt? ! A cold light flashed in his slightly squinted eyes, Liu Yu was already thinking about how to let this Meng Yi die!
Fan Lihua was also angry, she didn't say anything more, and rushed towards Meng Yi with her gun in her arms. That Meng Yi also had some skills, he actually saw through Fan Lihua's drop point, and slammed it down with a stick. It's a pity that he met Fan Lihua, who had already cultivated "Ming Yugong" to Dacheng under Liu Yu's cheating methods, Fan Lihua only raised the gun and unloaded the iron rod containing the power of a thousand catties aside, and took the opportunity to pierce the three-edged gun into Meng Yi's chest.
The battlefield was quiet again, and this time Liu Yu came to break the silence. Driven by Liu Yu's applause, the back Wei Jun and Luan Fengwei of this formation all clapped wildly. On the other hand, the morale of the enemy was greatly weakened and silent. About two minutes later, the four generals in front of the enemy formation rushed towards Fan Lihua without saying a word. Fan Lihua was not afraid, but greeted her excitedly.
