Chapter 1259: Mu Zhi's deduction and state war
Liu Muzhi laughed: "If you don't take me, I'll go and tell Wang Gong that you want to cross the Yellow River north with Luoyang soldiers and horses this time and take the state directly!" Your goal is not Luoyang, but Jinyang! ”
Liu Yu quickly picked up a pig's trotter and blocked Liu Muzhi's mouth: "Okay, I'll take you away, so as not to stay here and hurt me!" But to be clear, the north is hard, and there is no meat to eat! ”
Liu Muzhi laughed and grimaced: "Just lose weight!" ”
Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he said in a low voice: "Fatty, how can you guess my thoughts?" ”
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "How many years have we been together, I don't know your thoughts, going to Luoyang is just a pretense, if you want to stop the civil war, you are now in the Beifu Army, you can garrison the Guangling camp, you don't need to go to Luoyang, going to Luoyang is to the front line, your life, as long as you can attack, you will never defend." And Murong Yong is the best target. ”
Liu Yu laughed and laughed: "I haven't discussed this matter with you yet, since you mentioned it today, just add it up, Murong Yong's army that has just won the victory, and has merged and incorporated tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Fu Pi, do you think I can succeed if I raid him at such a time?" ”
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "Murong Yong has won every battle since he started the army, and he has never suffered a loss, but this is his biggest weakness. A hundred battles and victories are arrogant, and the Xianbei people of Xiyan have hardly stopped, all the way to fight non-stop, now there is finally a merger state, which can allow them to recuperate, but Murong Yong still wants to attack Luoyang in the name of pursuing Fu Pi, and his subordinates will inevitably complain, Murong Yong will definitely resort to his old tricks in Chang'an, and deceive his subordinates that Luoyang is full of gold and silver treasures, let them fight for it, as long as you let the Xiyan sergeant see how dilapidated and desolate Luoyang is, and the morale of the natural army is depressed. It's not too hard. ”
Liu Yu nodded: "If you say so, then I can rest assured, these days, I have been repeatedly deducing this battle in my heart, for fear that there will be any eventuality, after all, there are only about a thousand brothers who go with me, although they are all veterans of a hundred battles and elite soldiers, but after all, the number is too small, and if they want to cross the Yellow River again and attack the strong Jinyang, whether they can succeed in one blow, I don't have a bottom." ”
Liu Muzhi hooked the corners of his mouth: "Defeat Murong Yong, you should be able to do it, and then you will pursue the Xiyan army all the way, you must not let them have a chance to breathe, just like the battle of Junchuan, chasing their defeated troops, the Western Yan army now has a large number of former Qin troops, it is the army's unstable heart, once you can win, these people will look at the wind and surrender, you can use them as the manpower to besiege the fortified city in the future, when the time comes, you also need to go to pay tribute to Fu Jian, make a show, in order to win over these Qin people." ”
Liu Yu Zhengse said: "This is as it should be, Fu Jian no matter what he says, he is also a generation of benevolent monarchs, and I can be regarded as sympathetic to Chang'an back then, he died so miserably, I should do something for him, Xiyan is the culprit who killed him and killed hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an, which is why I want to take the opportunity to eliminate them this time, these people do not produce, like locusts, wherever they go, they stay in the world, they are the scourge of all the people, and they must be eliminated." ”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Are you still undecided, do you want Murong Chui or your good Agan Tuoba Jue to send troops to help?" ”
Liu Yu sighed: "I really can't hide anything from you, sometimes I really wonder if your dead fat man is the fat maggot in my stomach, you know everything I think." Yes, Zhu Xu's soldiers and horses, I'm afraid that I may not be able to use them at that time, especially to fight in Hebei, I may be able to go with me, only these brothers in the past in Jingkou, as for the surrender army after the victory, they are not of the same mind as us, and they may not be really reliable. Therefore, it can be used in downwind war, but once you encounter a strong enemy in a strong city and delay for a long time, there will be variables. ”
"I have been to Jinyang City, it is worthy of being one of the few strong cities in the world, if it is attacked, there is no 100,000 army, it cannot be overcome, so I need to consume the strength of Xiyan as much as possible before attacking the city, if Murong Chui sends troops, I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to take the annex of the state as already owned, the risk is very great, but if Tuoba Jue sends troops............"
Liu Muzhi laughed, and looked at Liu Yu, who stopped and was silent: "Tuoba Jue, the steppe wolf, once he enters the Central Plains, may no longer be able to control it, what's more, you are not sure whether Tuoba Jue is still your Agan, he released Huan Xuan, that is, he betrayed you, betrayed once, you can betray the second time, and besides, your Northern Expedition is to recover the Han family, expel all the Hu people who do not obey the king, and eliminate the evil wolf Murong Yong, but recruit the other two tigers, it is really not what you want." ”
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Because my rear is not very peaceful, if Huan Xuan comes back and kills Fu Pi, he will definitely be able to go back to control Jingzhou, and Zhu Xu is an old general of the Huan family, and he has not received the task of the imperial court's northern expedition to Hebei, let alone help me, if I can't make a quick decision and capture Jinyang, then I will face a loss of ground, and even bear the reputation of a rebel, those mafias, as well as the Diao brothers who hate me to the bone, will call me a rebel like Zhang Yuan, who wants to be self-reliant, I don't care about these reputations, But it will affect these brothers who live and die with me, and I would rather die than die, so I must have a foolproof plan. ”
Liu Muzhi's expression became serious: "There is no truly perfect way in the world, you can do it with seventy percent certainty, if you have the opportunity to defeat Murong Yong's army and pursue it into Bingzhou, then you can report to the court on the one hand, and at the same time take matters into your own hands on the grounds of military urgency, if you really have the possibility of besieging Jinyang and capturing the state, then I think the emperor will not turn a blind eye, in fact, I am most worried about you, not the troops, but the military needs, if you want to besiege Jinyang, at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, when the time comes, your grain and grass, Ordnance, where did the preparation come from? ”
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Fu Pi has been in Bingzhou for more than a year, before the world was in turmoil, Bingzhou was also one of the few states and counties that were not affected by the war, when I went to Merge Zhou, I specially observed that the warehouses in each state are relatively sufficient, if we can quickly defeat Murong Yong, follow the defeated army to take the Jiangjun in Jinnan, Pingyang and these places The warehouses in these places, the military grain and grass in them are enough for us to use for a while." ”
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "What if Murong Yong burned these stocks first when he retreated?" If you can't find a grain of rice in Jinnan, then what are you going to do to attack Jinyang? ”
