Chapter 1272: Hard-mouthed, wait-and-see

Liu Yu nodded very seriously, and said loudly: "Wang Gongzi, your analysis is very reasonable, it is true, the Xiyan army crossed the river and came over, after breaking the village and looting it, they will not attack it today, they will report back to Murong Yong on the one hand, let him send a large army to follow up, and on the other hand, drive the people to attack the city, and divide troops to loot the other villages." ”

The voice of his words was very loud, big enough for Dong Lei on the wall dozens of steps away to hear clearly, speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Dong Lei, and said loudly: "Lord Dong Zhai, please quickly inform the other villages in the area of Yushan, let them move away overnight, the cavalry of the Xiyan army is numerous, if they divide the road and plunder, as long as they guard the road, they can't go if they want to, and when the Xiyan army arrives, they will divide their troops to break through the villages and villages, and then drive the captives to attack Luoyang City, when the time comes, you will not only not survive, It will also become a pioneer of the enemy's siege of the city, and it is pointless to die. ”

Dong Shenhu's eyes widened, and he said loudly: "We, the people of the Central Plains, would rather die standing than live on our knees, and the Xiyan Army wants us to submit, that's a dream!" ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said: "Dong Zhuangshi, it is your own business to be strong yourself, don't decide life and death for others, ants still steal life, let alone people." If the village is broken, only a few people will resist and die in the end, and the majority will still surrender, even if they know that they will die tomorrow, they can live one more moment is a moment, this is basic human nature. Therefore, for the sake of the villagers, for the sake of these old and weak women and children, it is best for you to evacuate now. ”

Dong Lei gritted his teeth: "Liu Zhuangshi, in this way, you came here on the order of Zhu Tingshi, not all to save us, but not to let us be driven by the enemy army and used by the enemy?" ”

Liu Yu Zhengse said: "This is called the strong wall of the wilderness, but also one of the art of war, in the face of a strong enemy, if the front can not win in the field, there is only a city to defend the city, after all, there are only a few cities, the people in the vast countryside outside the city, if they cannot be protected, they may be used by the enemy in turn, so the people around the mountain must be able to withdraw all the retreat to Luoyang City." This is a military order, and this is also the purpose of our here, only in Luoyang City, can you be effectively protected. ”

Dong Lei said in a deep voice: "But this is our hometown, we have accumulated decades of industry, as well as grain and crops are here, if we want to give up, it's not good." Besides, we need time to clean up. ”

Liu Yu nodded: "You have a day to tidy up, don't bring too many things, saving your life is the first thing, tomorrow I will take my brother here to face the Xiyan Army, and then you will be able to see if we have the ability to protect you." ”

Dong Lei laughed: "Tonight, I will let the women and children in the village retreat to Luoyang first, and your dinner at night will also be provided by us, eat and sleep well, and let us see the strength of the Beifu Army tomorrow." ”

When the figures of Dong Lei's father and son disappeared on the wall, Liu Yu glanced left and right, Tan Yizhi, Wei Yongzhi and Liu Daogui understood and followed him to the back of the formation, while Xiang Jing and Kuai En began to command the sergeants in the column to sit down and rest, and some others began to arrange the battlefield under the command of Tan Daoji, Tan Shao and other brothers.

Liu Yu walked to a small hill, in this position, you can see the surrounding terrain clearly, about two miles to the north, is dense woods, and the south is the tall Dongjiawu Fort, now everyone is here, is a basin in the mountains, can be regarded as a plain, a tributary of Luoshui, through the plain, north and south, the place is divided into two halves, and Dongjiawu can be established here, but also thanks to the river here, irrigation and farming, after all, to farm, there must be water.

Tan Pingzhi hooked the corners of his mouth: "It seems that Dong Lei is still reluctant to withdraw like this, he will still be lucky tomorrow, maybe, if we are defeated, he still wants to talk to Xiyan about rebellion and surrender." ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It's not that it's a certain thing." These dock castle lords, there is no loyalty, who is strong will surrender to whom, before the Qin State is powerful, they are nominally loyal to Fu Jian, after the Northern Expedition of the Great Jin Dynasty, they are also known as the people of the Jin State, if Xiyan comes, the Jin army can not resist, they will not fight hard to the end, most of them are to take out some grain and inventory, to reward Xiyan, and promise to pay taxes to them in the future. If you really talk about integrity, it will not exist in this troubled world for a long time. ”

Murong Lan nodded: "Yes, these dock fort masters, usually make friends with neighboring dock forts in the way of marriage or mutual assistance, and if there is something, they will join forces, but just now Dong Lei saw that the two villages were attacked, and he did not immediately send troops, but first investigated, this is not because of your reminder, but he has always been like this, he will not easily trap himself in, if the enemy is too strong, he will turn to succumb." Therefore, if we lose tomorrow, not only will he not fight as he said, but will surrender to the enemy, this battle is a key battle to establish the prestige of the Beifu army in the Central Plains, Brother Wolf, I suggest that you don't hold it up, it's better to transfer people from Kim Yong Cheng again. ”

Liu Yu's expression became serious, and he said: "What I want to say now is very important, just before I arrived here in Dongjiawu, I just received a secret report from the fat man, Liu Yi had already met with Lu Xun and Xu Daofu of the Heavenly Master Dao when I was away, and reached an agreement to cooperate, and let a thousand Heavenly Master Dao disciples enter the city to help guard." So, now we can't get any assistance from Kim Yong Cheng direction, we have to rely on ourselves. ”

Wei Yongzhi gasped: "Is he crazy?" Cooperate with the Heavenly Master Dao at this time? We didn't give these demon pits bad enough before? If I don't discuss this matter with you, I will make an opinion, what does Liu Yi want to do?! ”

Liu Yu Zhengse said: "I'm afraid that Liu Yi has thought about it before he comes back, otherwise he wouldn't have come so simply, Heavenly Master Dao has been powerful in the Central Plains in recent years, and it is understandable to want to borrow their strength, and Liu Yi has always been disobedient to me, and he came to such a hand when I came to help, he wanted to establish his prestige, after all, the brothers who listened to him were no less than those who were willing to go with me, He Wuji, Zhuge Changmin They would not be clear which side they were on at this time, and I didn't want to cause internal division as soon as I came, and when we won this battle, we could take Ding Zhuang of the nearby ten miles and eight levels back." At that time, even if Liu Yi makes friends with Heavenly Master Dao, it will be impossible for him to take the lead in this battle anymore, so we must win this battle, do you have confidence? ”
