Guangling, the head of the city.

Xie Xuan was dressed in a Confucian shirt, a cyan scarf, holding a small fan, a wide robe with big sleeves, long hair fluttering, looking from a distance, like an immortal, but next to this immortal, there was a warrior standing in a black suit, more than eight feet long, with the posture of a bear and a tiger.

A gust of north wind blew, bringing up a few snowflakes, Xie Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, the feather fan flicked lightly, and said leisurely: "Murong Chen defiled me!" ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, shook his head, and shook off the few grains of dust and snow that were condensed on his face just now: "Xiao Yu is willing to clear this Murong Chen forever for Xuan Shuai." ”

Xie Xuan didn't look at Liu Yu, his deep eyes looked into the distance, as if looking at Yecheng thousands of miles away: "Winter is coming, according to common sense, it is not the time for our Han army to send troops, in autumn and winter, Hu is fat and strong, and the river is frozen in winter, we can't transport grain and troops through the waterway, Xiaoyu, you are now a top master of the art of war, tell me, should we send troops at this time?" ”

Liu Yu said categorically: "The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, according to tactics, it is not good for my southern army to send troops at this time, as you just said." But strategically, now is the best time. ”

Xie Xuan nodded, still not looking at Liu Yu: "Tell me your reason." ”

Liu Yu Zhengse said: "The battle of Guanzhong, presumably within two or three months, the victory and defeat will be divided, if there is no miracle, Fu Jian will be defeated, and then the Western Yan army is likely to return to the east of the Guandong, so Murong Chui will definitely take Yecheng and stabilize the Kanto before this strong rival of the same clan comes over, so as to wait for the strong enemy." ”

Xie Xuan shook his head: "He has been fighting Yecheng for more than two years, and he hasn't beaten it for two years, can he win it in two months now?" I don't believe it. ”

Liu Yu sighed: "It's not that he can't fight, but he doesn't want to consume too much strength, and he hasn't attacked strongly, he withdrew the siege several times before, leaving a passage for Fu Pi to retreat westward, but Fu Pi just admitted to death, and he didn't leave if he was killed, plus the Ding Ling Zhai brothers attacked and harassed his rear many times, and Wang Yong, the assassin of the Qin State in Youzhou, also united with the Xianbei tribe of Liu Kuren outside the Saiwai to go south several times, which distracted his energy, so he didn't take Yecheng in the past two years, but I always felt that there was something wrong with it." ”

Xie Xuan let out a soft "oh", this time he turned around and glanced at Liu Yu: "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Yu took a deep breath and said: "With my understanding of Murong Chui, if he really wants to capture Yecheng, he can do it a year ago at the latest, the Zhai brothers are just a plague of mustard, so they won't delay him for so long, as for Wang Yong and Liu Kuren, Youzhou's military strength is insufficient, and Liu Kuren's civil strife also made this Saiwai hero die more than half a year ago, Fu Pi's foreign aid was cut off, and he was in a lonely city, and even wanted Wang Yong and Zhang Hao, who fled to Bingzhou, to help, they all refused on the grounds of insufficient troops, and I stayed in Chang'an City for more than a year, Murong Chong is a real fight, I don't think it is possible for Fu Jian to persist for three months, there is no reason, Yecheng's defensive strength can surpass Chang'an, and there is no reason why Murong Chong's generals are not as good as Murong Chong. ”

Xie Xuan smiled: "I'll tell you the reason why something is wrong, that is, Murong Chui's selfishness. ”

Liu Yuqi said: "Selfish? ”

Xie Xuan nodded: "Yes, it's selfishness, although Murong Trai is numerous, most of them are affiliated troops of various races, in troubled times, just find a monarch who feels reliable, like Zhai Ding Lingren is a typical example, they follow Murong Trai not because of how loyal they are, but because they feel that the future of Murong Trai, a famous general in the world, is brighter than Fu Pi." ”

"In the past two years, the Great War in Hebei, Qin Yan has been tugging back and forth, and the forces in various places are also like grass on the wall, sometimes rebelling and sometimes surrendering, some are surrendering and revolting, some are rebelling and surrendering, Murong Chui can't be cured, so he has been exhausted, and let his sons divide their troops to pacify various places."

"His time and troops are being consumed and wasted little by little. If he really had the ability to storm and take Yecheng, he would have done so a long time ago, and the reason why he surrounded three and left the avenue was not because he wanted to ambush, but because he wanted to capture the city as quickly as possible at the lowest cost. ”

"But Murong Chong is different, what he wants is not Jiangshan, at least not now. What he wants is revenge, it is obsession, in order to achieve this goal, he doesn't care how many people die and how much blood is shed, even if this goal is only one hour in advance, he does not hesitate to die millions of people, so he is desperate to attack the city frantically, regardless of the life and death of his subordinates, and even regardless of his own life and death, Xiaoyu, these are what you have seen with your own eyes. ”

Liu Yu sighed: "You are right, I saw Murong Chong and his men that day, taking five stone scatter, rushing into the city with blood-red eyes, they just want to turn themselves into devils, and kill in Chang'an, they really want to use blood to wash the whole city, that night, it was crazy, whether it was Murong Chong or the soldiers and civilians of Chang'an, they all became devils, I have experienced so many battles, I have seen so many terrible, human nature distorted atrocities, but none of them can surpass that night." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu's fists gradually clenched, his expression became extremely serious, and even from his eyes, there was a half point of fear.

Xie Xuan smiled and patted Liu Yu on the shoulder: "Fortunately, I was not in Chang'an that night, and even you said something that changed color, presumably no one can accept it." I don't want to think about it for you to change your goal of staying and protecting the people of the city overnight. Guanzhong will be a hell for adults, and before the beasts there become humans, we had better forget about it first and concentrate on recovering Hebei. ”

Liu Yu nodded: "But Murong Chui used to take care of the strength of his subordinates, but now he doesn't care about it?" Fu Pi has been defending for two years, the people in the city are united, all of them are united, and if they attack, they will suffer heavy losses, so how can they meet us again? ”

Xie Xuan shook his head: "So he wants to think crookedly and find a way to prevent us from sending troops to the Northern Expedition, in the past half a year, Sima Daozi and Wang Guobao have not been on the Holy Ground for a moment to slander and divide the relationship between our Xie family and the royal family, do you know that just three days ago, at the banquet in Jiankang City, the monarchs and ministers almost turned their faces?" ”

Liu Yu's face changed: "There is still such a thing?" ”

Xie Xuan nodded: "It was originally a banquet for the Prime Minister, but between their monarchs and ministers, they haven't spoken for more than three months. ”
