Chapter 145: The Battle of Yizhou
Qiu Liusong woke up from a coma, his mind was still full of Xu You's words about the three hundred and sixty numbers of yin and yang, and he was in a state of confusion for two days, eating when he was delivered, and drinking when he had wine.
Creak.
The iron door slowly opened, first the evening sun secretly sent a dim light, Qiu Liusong raised his head, squinted slightly, a tall figure walked in, covered the light again, heard Xu You's voice, and said with a smile: "Qiu Langjun, these two days have been eventful, don't be slight." ”
"There is wine and meat, the general bothered!"
There is a mountain ghost in the wine and meat, and after eating, the whole body is weak, and he can't lift a little strength, but this is because he is afraid that he is powerful, and no one can cure him except Xu You, so it is understandable that he is not humiliated.
Xu You sat down opposite and said, "It's good that you don't slack off!" Qiu Langjun, according to the rules of your Xianbei people, you are my captive, and I have the right to offer you the conditions for ransom......"
Qiu Liusong laughed and said, "I may want to disappoint the general, I have no long things, and I am a subordinate of the Yuan Mansion, so I don't have much money to redeem myself!" ”
"Money is a vulgar thing!" Xu You said: "I have three questions, after Lang Jun answers, promise me one more condition, and you can leave safely!" ”
Qiu Liusong said lightly: "The general might as well kill me directly, what you want to know is nothing more than the strategy of the Great Wei in this battle, although I am a humble person, I will not betray the country because of greed for life and fear of death." Luan Bird is dead, can't I die? ”
"I won't ask about matters involving secrets in the army, most of them will ask you about your personal opinions, whether you say it or not, it won't affect the battle situation!"
Qiu Liusong thought for a while and said, "Okay, general, please ask!" ”
"Wei is short of food, it is difficult to fight for a long time, this time to invade our state capital in the south, with no way to cut down the way, knowing that it will be defeated, the government and the opposition, can there be arguments?"
This is obviously a question of sending points, and the controversy of Wei State over sending troops is known even to the people of Pingcheng, and it is not a secret. Some people think that there is no need to compete with the Chu State for a while, as long as they wait until next year's grain harvest and cultivate for another two years, they can recruit hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
However, Yuan Yu destroyed Rouran, Wenzhi and martial arts reached the peak, and when he was complacent, he was attacked and occupied by the Chu State.
Qiu Liusong said: "Even if there is a little controversy, my Great Wei sergeant is one hundred, and the battle will be won." General, you must know that the victor will not be saddled with infamy! ”
Xu You smiled, not afraid that if he didn't open his mouth, it would be easy to do it when he opened his mouth, so he used words, the first question was very simple, to eliminate his vigilance, and then directly asked the second question, and said: "I heard that General Yuan has gangrene on his face, and it is difficult to treat, is it true or false?" ”
Qiu Liusong hesitated for a moment, this is not a secret, after Yuanguang returned to Beijing, he resigned many times on the grounds of gangrene, and said: "The family teacher has suffered from gangrene for five years, but he is an old man with profound skills, so he should be fine......
"It's no big deal," Xu You threw out the third question he really wanted to ask, and said, "If I arrange to invite General Yuan and Sun Guan to fight, can he have the confidence to fight?" ”
"Huh?" Qiu Liusong stood up in shock, almost in disbelief, and said, "What did you say?" ”
Xu You put his hands on his sleeves, sat upright, his eyes were as deep as an abyss, and he looked at him quietly without speaking.
Qiu Liusong finally calmed down, pressed a few cases with both hands, sat down slowly, stared at Xu You, and said: "The great general's vicious plan, the two great grandmasters fight, no matter who wins and who loses, for you, it will be beneficial and harmless......
"Lang Jun is wrong!" Xu You said with a smile: "Sun Guan's teeth are old and weak, General Yuan is in his prime, if you have no intention of fighting, if you are interested, now is the best time." ”
Qiu Liusong said with disdain, "How can the family teacher take advantage of this? ”
"General Yuan will naturally not take advantage of Sun Guan, he will take advantage of the time, then let Sun Guan occupy an advantageous place, and the place of the fight will be chosen somewhere in Yizhou!"
"Yizhou?"
"The battle of the great grandmaster, if it spreads, it will inevitably cause a shock in the north and south, General Yuan must not be a person who is greedy for fame, Yizhou Mountain is deep and dense, and it will not be disturbed by the outside world, and he will be asked to go secretly, I will arrange someone to answer, of course, in order to avoid loneliness on the way, you can bring three or five disciples with you......"
"Wishful thinking!"
Qiu Liusong was furious and said: "Xu You, I respect your second-grade cultivation, so you can speak well, but if you insult my master, then you will fight again." ”
Xu You raised his eyebrows and said, "I only have respect for General Yuan, how can I say humiliation?" ”
"What kind of person is the master, how can he be deceived by you and take danger alone? What is it that you use such a clumsy plan not to humiliate? ”
Xu You shook his head and said, "Qiu Langjun, it's not me who humiliates General Yuan, it's you!" With the cultivation of the great master, where in the world can you not go? Unless you use thousands of brave soldiers to line up in advance in a Jedi that can only enter but not exit, set up a dead end that you can't get out of, and then lure the great grandmaster into the fight, otherwise, any trap, the great grandmaster has to leave, who can keep it? And the reason why Yizhou was chosen is precisely because of the steep terrain of Yizhou and the repetition of mountains and rivers, which is the most beneficial to the great master, and it is impossible to set up such a dead end, you can rest assured! ”
Qiu Liusong fell into a long silence, the duel between the two great grandmasters, because it involved the north and the south, was far more influential than the battle between Sun Guan and Zhu Daorong, thinking about Zhu Daorong's death, Chu changed the emperor, if Yuanguang and Sun Guan died one of them again, what would be the consequences?
No one could have predicted!
Qiu Liusong was almost certain that Yuanguang would definitely agree to Xu You's arrangement. The situation between Korea and China is becoming more and more unfavorable, Yuanguang is suspicious, and he has already begun to go, fame and fortune in the world, it is difficult to impress him in the slightest, only by fighting with Sun Guan can he let go of everything and go south to Yizhou.
What's even more terrifying is that for various reasons, Yuan Yu, the lord of Wei, may also be happy to see Yuan Guang and Sun Guan fight a decisive battle......
He suddenly discovered that Xu You was an upright conspiracy, and he couldn't stop it at all, and he couldn't crack it.
"Is Sun Guan willing?"
Xu You's expression was very gentle, and he said, "Master Sun will be willing!" ”
Qiu Liusong thought about it, since Xu You dared to propose like this, I don't know how long it had been secretly arranged, or should he have told Shizun earlier, and said: "I answered the general's three questions, now, please ask the general to make conditions, right?" ”
"It's very simple, I want you not to leave Pingcheng for half a step within ten years!"
"Huh?" Qiu Liusong was greatly puzzled and said: "If I don't leave the city for ten years, I can only concentrate on practicing the Dayan Sword Technique, and the general is not afraid that I will enter the second grade and come to you to trouble again?" ”
Xu You smiled, his handsome face was full of indescribable charm, and after getting up, he clasped his fists and said, "You and Yuan Mulan are the people who are most likely to become great masters in the Northern Dynasty, but Yuan Mulan is from a royal family, and many times she can't help herself, so she may not have much time to practice martial arts." I only hope that you can focus on martial arts, if you are lucky enough to step into the Yipin Mountain Gate in the future, then, this north and south rivers and lakes, will not be too lonely! ”
Qiu Liusong was finally impressed by Xu You's spirit, and Yuanguang pointed out Fang Sinian, which was everyone's demeanor, and he was happy to see talents, and he was not confined to the distinction between friend and foe. Compared with Xu You, he is not inferior, and he wishes the enemy to become a great master, with a few words, how confident and angry he is?
"When that day comes, I'll ask the general for advice!"
Xu You got up, bowed his hand, and said, "Later, I will give you the antidote to the mountain ghost, as well as the ashes of Luan Niao and that little grandmaster." Let's say goodbye here, and I hope that within the Yipin Mountain Gate, we will reunite with Lang Jun! ”
It took a few more days to stabilize the situation in Luoyang, everything was decided, and when he learned that Yuan Mulan really went to bite the bait of Cangyuan, he immediately followed the strategy of the previous military discussion, Xu You signed several Jun orders, ordering Ye Min to lead the 20,000 Chifeng Army and Zhou Shiting's 20,000 Chinese troops to stay in Luoyang to prevent the enemy on the north bank; Ordered Tai Douxing to lead 20,000 Chinese troops to capture the slipway, cut off Yuan Mulan's retreat, and then bring his own 150,000 troops, take the boat of the Youdu Army, along the waterway, and drive directly to Cangyuan.
In fact, what was left to Ye Min was Tang Zhijian's 5,000 Zhenhaidu, with a total of 25,000 troops, not for the purpose of guarding Luoyang, but for Ye Min to choose the opportunity to go out of the Mengjin Ferry to defeat the 100,000 Wei troops entrenched in Yewang City on the north bank of the Yellow River, eliminate the elbow trouble, and occupy the absolute initiative.
These 100,000 Wei troops were originally used by Yuan Mulan as suspicious soldiers, attracting the attention of the Chu State and covering the main force hiding in Yecheng. The secret government has ascertained the origin, half of them are the requisitioned soldiers of various states and counties, and half of the private troops recruited from various families, Xianbei nobles, and Zhuhu tribes, barely enough to make up 100,000 people, weapons, armor, horses, grain and grass are all provided by themselves, and the prefectures and counties along the way only provide a small amount of money and silk as military salaries, but the military department has an order, all the captures in the battle can be used for their own use, and they are allowed to supply themselves in the enemy territory - the implication is that burning, killing and looting can be done, and it is your ability to rob it, and military law does not matter.
The morale of 100,000 people was aroused like this, but they were not stupid, they all knew that Luoyang was the most difficult bone to gnaw, and they wanted to see how far Yuan Mulan could fight in Yuzhou, so they stopped and rested, and they just arrived in Yewang City the day before yesterday.
The general of the unified army is Sun Sheng, the general of the Fu army, he is the younger brother of Sun Di, the chief lieutenant, and the father of Sun Xiang, the commander of Hanoi County. This time, he led this ragtag army to fight for Yuan Mulan as an assist, and it was done, the credit was not great, he was defeated, and he was reluctant, but the holy order was difficult to disobey, so he had to catch the ducks on the shelves, and drank and had fun in the big tent of the Chinese army every day, and all military affairs were handed over to General Zuo Xi Fuling to be fully responsible.
However, Xi Fuling was born in the Xi family, riding and shooting, and went to the Six Towns to join the army at the age of fifteen, starting from the lowest level of the army commander, and becoming the general of the fourth grade at the age of twenty-five, but also took care of military affairs in an orderly manner.
"Marshal, there is a battle report from the front, General Yuan is leading his troops south to attack Cangyuan, do we want to put on a posture of crossing the river and coerce the defenders of Luoyang not to dare to act rashly, so as to respond?"
The eldest grandson Sheng was hugging the singer for fun, and waved his hand impatiently: "Go find General Zuo, don't bother me if it's not a big deal!" ”
"Yes!"
Xi Fuling read the military report, pondered for a while, and said: "Send scouts to closely monitor the movements in Luoyang, and once there are more than fifty people transferred, report immediately!" ”
"General, could it be that Daoyi still dares to cross the river to attack?"
Speaking is the Qian people Shi Day, deep eye sockets, sharp nose bridge, skin as if smeared with white paint, just born short feet, ugly eyebrows and eyes, shrunk in one of the six towns of Huaishuo Town, mixed with the sun, this time in response to the call of the imperial court, brought three hundred people to join the army, he is lively, and can speak well, by Xi Fuling's attention, promoted to be a general from the seventh grade, with the side of the counselor military aircraft.
"I have to guard against it!" Xi Fuling said: "Xu You is square with his troops, and he is used to crushing his opponent with absolute superiority, and his every move is still expected. But Ye Min's soldiers are in harmony, and the changes are unprovoked, our 100,000 army is based on the north of the Yellow River, which is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Chu people, Xu You wants to send troops to Cangyuan, aren't you afraid of being attacked by the enemy on your back? I expected that he would let Ye Min take charge of the defense of Luoyang, and Ye Min had won the previous victory over General Hulu Deva, and he had a lot of courage, and he would definitely despise our army, and maybe he really dared to cross the river to the north to attack ......"
Shi Tianxi said: "That feeling is good! Daoyi shrank in Luoyang Jiancheng and didn't come out, but he had a headache, but he dared to cross the river, and I let him come and go! ”
"Don't underestimate the enemy, the Chu people are not so easy to bully as before, Xu You incorporated a large number of surrendered Xiliang soldiers into the ranks, these people are good at shooting and riding, equipped with the sophisticated armor of the Chu people, and their strength is not below us."
"Yes!"
Shi Tian agreed to be well-behaved, but in fact, he didn't take the Chu people in his eyes at all, and only planned to take advantage of this opportunity to cut off the heads of the Chu people to make military achievements.
Daoyi, not only the pigs and sheep who only know how to cry on the board, but also the merits and wealth written in the policy book, he has a hunch that the road to soaring will start today!
