"What do you think of the current situation?"

Liu De asked everyone.

Yan Keqiu, as the strategist who is most familiar with the situation in Weizhou, spoke first: "Your Highness, now that the thieves are fleeing in all directions, we should march as soon as possible, and we can't give Weizhou Haoqiang a chance to organize fortifications." ”

"The minister suggested that His Royal Highness could divide his troops into three routes, and His Royal Highness personally led one way to attack directly, and the other two roads went all the way to the north and all the way to the south to directly sweep the entire Weizhou."

Xun You put forward another suggestion, "Your Highness, we are not familiar with the terrain of Weizhou, and the attitude of the people of Weizhou towards us is not clear, and the rash division of troops will inevitably give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, it is better to fight steadily and steadily, gather the strength of the whole army to fight Wuwei first, and take Wuwei as the center to clean up the bandits in Weizhou, and add General Ma's prestige in Weizhou, only 20,000 horses need to be left, and the rest of the troops can be deployed to the battlefield in the south and Wei." ”

The generals did not speak, but waited for Liu De's order, and Liu De said that they would do what they did.

Liu De bowed slightly, what Yan Keqiu and Xun You said made sense, it depends on how he chooses, Liu De said: "The situation in Weizhou is complicated, and it is mountainous and jungle, Li Zhang is originally a Qiang person, if he wants to run, I am afraid we will not be able to catch him at all, but Han Yue is easier to be caught in this regard." ”

Ma Teng arched his hand and said: "Han Yue must have returned, that is his base camp, as long as Gu Chang is here, Han Yue has hope of turning the tables!" And Li Zhang was originally the leader of Xilingqiang, in addition to occupying the county seat, the Qiang people also gathered a large number of tribes in the mountains and forests, if Li Zhang hid in the mountains and forests, it was indeed difficult to find, even if the 100,000 army encircled and suppressed, I don't know how much time and money it would take. ”

"In that case, then let's take Han Yue first, and Lone personally leads the army to Guchang City, unless Han Yue doesn't want his base camp!"

Liu De finally made up his mind, and then said: "Liu Bi is the main general, Yao Jun, Gao Huaide, Tian Yu, Liu Zhen, and Yang Tianhao are the deputy generals, Yan Keqiu is the staff officer, and leads 10,000 troops to Wuwei." ”

"With my understanding of Li Yun, Li Yun is probably unwilling to be lonely now, and he must want to take Hepu County before the winter comes, and the troops there will be tight in Guandudu, so, Zhang Fei, you will lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to return to Jizhou early tomorrow morning!"

Zhang Fei stepped out of the column and said in a loud voice: "The last general will take orders!" ”

"In Kuaima, he sent an order to go to the sick, ordering him to cross the river to attack Jinju and harass Wei if he had the opportunity."

"Yes!"

"Peng Yue!"

Liu De said again.

"The last general!"

Liu De used the sword as a pen, sketched a few times on the ground, and sketched the topography of Weizhou and Jinzhou, although the lines are simple, but it is clear at a glance, and it is very clear, "With you as the main general, cross the river to the south, sneak attack the hinterland of Jinzhou, and disturb him to live in peace!" ”

"The last general understands!"

Luanzhou is north of Jinju, and Weizhou is west of Jinzhou, under the attack from both sides, see how Li Yun responds.

At this time, Liu De still has about 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and there is no nonsense, and when it is dawn, he will set off from the village and attack Guchang City, and the counties along the way, if they are in the way, they will be pulled out directly, if they are not in the way, they will go around, and after eliminating Han Yue, they will be slowly pacified.

......

The gate of Chenliu City is closed, the streets in the city are full of patrolling soldiers, and the people of Chenliucheng also close the door, and even use cupboards and planks to hold the door to death, although the people are stupid, but they also understand that something terrible should have happened now, and even innocent people will be harmed, and they don't know how to die!

A group of soldiers broke into the homes of famous ministers, and under the desperate wails of the ministers and the bitter weeping of their families, they were pulled into a street by a car.

"Get down!"

A burly man kicked the official in the position of Jiuqing out of the carriage with one kick, fell his head and broke the blood, but the official didn't feel the pain at all, hoarse voice, and roared at the general: "The old man wants to see Your Majesty, and the old man wants to see Duke Wei!! ”

The general held a ghost-headed knife in his hand, smiled fiercely, pulled up the official's hair bun, and in the official's wail, he cut off his head with a knife, and the bowl-sized wound sprayed a cloud of blood mist.

In the prison car, the family members of the officials hugged each other and cried even louder, knowing that they would be the next to die.

The general held a small branch in his mouth, came to the prisoner car with a cruel smile, turned his head to check the minister's family members one by one, picked up the tender chin of a minister's concubine, looked at the crying pear blossom with the rain concubine, the general sighed twice, and said: "It's a pity to look so beautiful!" Someone! Take her to a certain house! ”

"Yes!"

"Kill the rest!"

The general waved his hand.

This kind of thing happened everywhere in Chen Liucheng, and it inevitably affected the innocent, but who cares?

Li Yun rarely wore a gorgeous armor and listened to the report of his subordinates: "Report to Your Highness, the Praetorian Guards around Your Majesty have all been cleaned up and replaced with our people, and the ministers loyal to Your Majesty have basically been cleaned up, and the bell of Hepu County is almost gone." ”

"Good!"

Li Yun slowly pulled out the sword in his hand, and the blade slashed with a trace of cold light, making people feel their hairs stand on end.

Li Xiaochun said to Li Yun: "Your Highness, according to intelligence, Liu De is now confronting the anti-Han coalition army formed by various powerful forces in Weizhou on the bank of Luanshui!" ”

Li Yun looked at the sword in his hand with a focused expression, and said to everyone in the hall: "Liu De has fought a lot of battles and has never been defeated, but even if Liu De is powerful, it is impossible to travel thousands of miles to support Zhongsheng, relying on Guan Yu's 20,000 horses and 10,000 Zhongsheng Qingzhuang, who can't even hold a spear, how can he resist the 50,000 elites of Lone?" ”

"Wow!"

The sword swung down suddenly, cutting off the case in front of Li Yun!

"Today, Lone personally crusaded against the rebellion, and he was ashamed of his defeat!"

Sword raised!

Looking up to the sky and shouting: "Kill!" ”

All the generals in the hall shouted in unison: "I am willing to die for Your Highness!" ”

"Boom!"

Xun Da suggested to Li Yun: "Jinzhou's defense is relatively empty, so it is reasonable to send a general to guard Jinzhou!" ”

Li Yun followed Xun Da's suggestion, "Order Li Qin to be the main general, and Li Jingyan as the deputy general to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to defend the town." ”

The army soon started from Chenliu in an orderly manner, Li Yun personally took charge, left Li Feng to guard Chenliu, Li Lei, Li Yi, Li Zhilin, Qi Shu, Meng Fang as deputy generals, Xun Da as the military division, and led an army of 50,000 to attack Hepu County.

......

The time soon came to September, the war between Weizhou and Danzhou was fierce, but it was a rare stability in Beiping City, Liu De since the pacification of Beiping, after a long period of governance, Beiping is much more prosperous than before.

The imperial examination and martial arts examination have long been over, and hundreds of candidates who have passed the examination are also full of expectations to enter the Hanlin Academy and the lecture hall for one to three years of study.

Beiping Taishou Fang Xuanling came to the side hall belonging to the cabinet office.

"Fang Taishou!"

"Xun Cifu!"

After the two of them sat down, Fang Xuanling also explained the reason for his coming: "Qi Xun Cifu, I have inspected various districts in Beiping in recent days, and found that the layout of various urban areas in Beiping is very uneven, and some urban areas, especially Xicheng District, are very narrow, mostly poor people, and even the three religions and nine streams are mostly hidden here.

Health and public security are not optimistic, and with the pacification of the war, there are many business travelers, people, and scholars in Beiping, and Beiping City can no longer accommodate more people, so the minister suggested cleaning up the urban areas, planning streets from the new, and even expanding Beiping City. ”

Xun Yu said: "I also understand the situation you said, and even General Chen, who was guarding in Beiping, also reported to me that the homes of the soldiers are all over the city, can you plan a place in Beiping City to house the families of the soldiers."

The current Beiping City has been continuing the structure of the puppet emperor Yang Tianlong at the time, which is very chaotic, and the official yamen are also distributed in all directions of Beiping, and the communication is very poor.

Now that the Han Dynasty has inherited the Quartet and set the capital of Beiping, it should be rearranged to highlight the prestige of the Han Dynasty.

However, the expansion of Beiping is a major event, the army is out of the country, consuming countless money and food, the expansion can only be said later, not to mention the location of Beiping is northern, and when His Royal Highness Han Gong dominates the world in the future, it is not certain whether the capital will be moved... So, let's plan the streets first! ”

Xun Yu continued: "The Ministry of Industry controls the world's projects, and the planning of Beiping will be mainly based on the Beiping Mansion, supplemented by the Ministry of Industry, and it will be implemented as soon as possible. ”

"If the problem in Xicheng District is solved, other places will be easier to deal with!"

Fang Xuanling nodded: "The minister knows, so I will negotiate with the Ministry of Industry and come up with a plan!" ”

......

In Hepu County, the bell stood at the head of the city, and the blood sprayed next to it and the fresh knife marks all indicated that a bloody battle had just ended, and the soldiers guarding the city were injured countless times.

Zhong Sheng is not good at commanding the army, and those ministers under his command are more talkative, so it is okay for them to brag, and it is not a door for them to go to the battlefield with swords.

So Zhong Sheng had no choice but to risk the arrows and urge him to defend the city, and Zhong Sheng thought that it was no problem for him to hold on to Hepu County for half a month.

But the reality disappointed the bell, it was only two days, Hepu County was already in danger, and there were even many times, the enemy had already attacked the city, but for some reason it was called gold and the troops were withdrawn.

Zhong Sheng knew that if Guan Yu knew that the army was not coming, I was afraid that in less than two days, his head would be cut off by someone and sent outside the city.

Morale has long since collapsed.

"Ugh..."

Zhong Sheng sighed, "Sure enough, it's useless to be a scholar!" ”

I thought I could turn the tide and restore the Zhou Chamber, but I am afraid that in the eyes of those princes who really have heavy troops and have experienced a hundred battles, he is just a clown.

......

"No!"

Liu De shook his head, looked at Cao Shen, Huang Shan, Chen Qingzhi and others who asked him, and said, "Zhong Sheng is not a clown, he is a martyr!" ”

"Martyrs?"

The crowd was a little puzzled.

"That's right, martyr, a man who was martyred for his ideals."

Liu De raised his head, looked at the yellow sand in the sky, and said to everyone: "You understand the question, obviously our biggest enemy is Li Yun, but why give up the bell that can become a bridgehead and attack Weizhou, which is impossible to threaten in Wonder!" ”

"It's actually quite simple! Because Danzhou is not in Lone's plan! ”

"What!"

Everyone was stunned by Liu De's news, and everyone, even Li Yun, thought that Liu De's next goal was to launch an attack on Danzhou, but now Liu De actually said that Danzhou was not Liu De's goal, which was too unexpected for everyone.

Chen Qingzhi frowned slightly, his palm supported his chin, his eyes kept patrolling the map, and suddenly said: "Is His Highness's goal to be in Danzhou first?" ”

"That's right, everyone thinks that Hepu is a bridgehead for attacking Danzhou, but in fact, it doesn't matter whether there is a bridgehead of Hepu in Danzhou, because the river is frozen in winter, and the whole Danzhou will tremble under the lonely horse's hooves!

Taking Jinzhou, it will cut off the connection between Danzhou and Zhongzhou, and it can send troops to attack Danzhou from the east. Moreover, attacking Jinzhou can also weaken Li Yun's forces in Danzhou, so that he cannot take care of each other.

Li Yun always thought that Lone was going to fight him in Danzhou, but unfortunately, he was wrong! ”

"What about the bells?"

Someone asked.

"The bell will not want to live, and in the end, the only one who dies for the Great Zhou is the bell!"

Liu De said.

The yellow sand is rolling, and the sky is still dim.

......

"Haven't you found the whereabouts of Guan Yu's department yet?"

Li Yun asked.

All the generals shook their heads, and Li Yi said, "Could it be that Guan Yu doesn't want to save Zhong Sheng at all!" ”

"The odds are too low!"

Li Lei retorted: "I feel that Guan Yu may have discovered our intentions and is looking for an opportunity!" ”

Li Yun wanted to speak, but saw that Xun Da was carefully examining in front of Yutu, Li Yun hurriedly asked, "What did Mr. find?" ”

Xun Da stroked his beard and said: "I originally wanted to set up a siege point to send reinforcements to induce Guan Yu to attack, but now it seems that Guan Yu was not fooled, General Li Si, dare to ask if you attack the city with all your might, how many days can you capture Hepu County?" ”

Li Lei said: "Zhong Sheng's subordinates do not have generals who are good at commanding the army, and most of the soldiers under his command are new soldiers, and they have no fighting spirit, according to the current situation, they can be taken without even three days!" ”

Xun Da nodded and said, "In other words, Guan Yu will definitely act within three days!" ”

"Please also ask His Highness to send a boat master to step up the inspection of the big river, and the minister feels that Guan Yu is probably going to come to surround Wei to save Zhao!"

Li Lei raised his eyebrows, "What does the military advisor mean that Guan Yu will attack elsewhere and force us to give up the siege of Hepu?" ”

"That's right, and the place where Guan Yu is likely to attack is here!"

Xunda pointed his finger to a location on the map.

Everyone fixed their eyes: Kuan County.

Xun Da explained: "Kuanxian is at the junction of the big river and Danshui, the terrain is dangerous, and it is only two days away from Hepu, and even taking Kuanxian can threaten Chen Liu!" ”

Li Yundao: "Kuan County has Li Zhi leading 5,000 troops to defend it, Guan Yu is afraid that it will not be easy to take Kuan County!" ”

"It's not easy, but it's a matter of time before Kuanxian is captured, I'm afraid that when Guan Yu besieges Wei and rescues Zhao, like us, come to a siege point to help, whether we save it or not!"

Xun Da said.
