Chapter 205: Disobeying Military Orders
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xiu said: "Cen Peng will not take the initiative to go out of the city to face the battle, but you must know that the person who is in charge on the battlefield now is not Cen Peng, but Liang Qiuci!" β
Li Yi was stunned, and didn't quite understand what Liu Xiu meant. Liu Xuan's mind moved, and asked, "Ah Xiu, what do you mean?" β
Liu Xiu said: "Spread rumors to the Huaiyang side, saying that Cen Peng was afraid of our army and did not dare to fight with our army, resulting in the loss of many victorious fighters!" β
When Li Yi heard this, he burst out laughing and asked, "General Liu thinks that if we spread such rumors in Huaiyang, we can let Liang Qiu give Cen Peng an order to let him go out of the city to fight?" Liu Xiu Zhengse said: "If it is just to spread rumors, it is naturally far from enough, we have to do another point, that is, to block the county army on the west bank of the water, and prevent the county army from crossing the water, so that the county army will not be able to reach Xinye and Liangqiu."
Ci will inevitably vent his anger on Cen Peng's head, ordering him to go out of the city to fight, contain the main force of our army, and create an opportunity for the county army to cross the water. β
After Liu Xiu finished speaking, everyone present frowned in unison. Li Yi said quietly: "Our army has no ships, let alone water warfare, how can we block the county army on the west bank of the water?" "Isn't that whimsical?
Deng Yu continued: "If you want to block the county army on the west bank of the river, you don't necessarily have to fight a water war with the county army, we just need to make it impossible for the county army on the ship to go ashore and gain a foothold on the east coast." β
Liu Xuan's eyes lit up, and he said: "What Ah Xiu and Zhonghua mean is that our army can set up an ambush on the other side of Shuyang, and when the county army crosses the river by boat, then suddenly kill, and then, when a group of county troops go ashore, we will kill a group of county soldiers on the shore!" β
Liu Xiu and Deng Yu both nodded, and that's what they meant. Li Yi took a deep breath and said: "We are in Huyang, the county army is in Shuyang, if the main force of our army wants to break through to the other side of Shuyang, it will take at least about three days. For such a long time, the army of the county may have already crossed the river and gained a foothold on the east coast
Finish. β
Liu Xiu answered: "I have a way to reach the east bank of Shuyang in one day!" β
Li Yi looked at Liu Xiu in disbelief, three days away, one day to arrive, how could this be done? Liu Xiu also felt that Liu Xiu's words were too inconsequential, and he deliberately said with a calm face: "Ah Xiu is cautious, there is no joke in the army!" β
Liu Xiu said: "General, I'm not joking!" I can lead a thousand cavalry troops to the east bank of Shuyang in one day! β
"The Horsemen?"
Liu Xiu explained: "Zizhang and Ci have named the two thousand cavalry under his command the Xiao Cavalry Army. β
Liu Xuan sighed and asked, "Ah Xiu, since there are 2,000 cavalry, why do you only lead 1,000 cavalry to go?" β
Liu Xiu said: "The road is long, if one person rides, you can't reach the east bank of Shuyang in one day." β
Even if people can stand it, war horses can't stand it. He continued: "It takes one person to ride and one to prepare another to reach the east bank of Shuyang in one day. β
Liu Xuan pondered for a moment, shook his head slowly, and said: "Ah Xiu only led a thousand horsemen, traveled a long distance, and went deep into the east bank of Shuyang to block the eight thousand army troops from crossing the river, which is too risky. β
The Liu clan relatives present also looked at each other, wondering if Liu Xiu was crazy. The army of the county is 8,000 people, and you lead a thousand cavalry to stop it, don't you hit the stone with an egg?
Liu Yong's eyes rolled, he stood up, and arched his hand and said: "General, I thought that the general led a thousand horsemen to sneak attack the county army crossing the river, which would definitely have the effect of taking it by surprise and attacking it unprepared, and the county army was caught off guard, this plan is feasible!" β
Hearing this, people cast strange glances at Liu Yong, including Li Yi.
Liu Xiu's plan is almost the same as going to death, and who supports Liu Xiu's strategy at this time is tantamount to pushing Liu Xiu to death. Although Li Yi didn't want to see Liu Xiu, he couldn't be as vicious as Liu Yong.
Liu Jia cleared his throat and said to Liu Xuan: "General, Ah Xiu's plan is too risky, this matter is ...... I thought it was a long-term review. β
Liu Xuan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "A thousand cavalry, it is not easy to get, how can you watch them die?" Ah Xiu's plan is definitely not feasible! β
He didn't say that he was reluctant to take risks with his younger brother, but only said that he was reluctant to sacrifice a thousand cavalry, and it can be seen from this that Liu Xuan after the incident has also changed a lot compared with before.
Liu Xiu said: "General, the enemy is now, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again, once you miss the fighter, it will be too late to regret it!" β
Liu Xuan waved his hand and said categorically: "There is no need to discuss this matter again. β
He took a deep breath and said, "Tomorrow, our army will take their families and family members and march towards Xinye and attack Xinye!" In this battle, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and the soldiers of our army will either stand at the head of Xinye City, or, bury their bones under Xinye City! β
"General......" Liu Xiu was about to speak, Liu Xiu waved his robe sleeves and said: "Okay, everyone go back and prepare, our army will leave early tomorrow morning!" β
"Yes! General! Everyone present got up one after another, bowed to Liu Xuan, and then turned around and walked out one after another.
Liu Xiu walked up to Liu Xiu and said urgently: "Big brother, attacking Xinye is really the next step......
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xuan interrupted impatiently: "Only leading a thousand horsemen to sneak attack the county army is the next strategy in my opinion!" Okay, Ah Xiu, you don't have to say it again, go down, big brother is tired too! β
Seeing that Liu Xiu's complexion was not good and his face was full of tiredness, Liu Xiu didn't want to say anything more, bowed to the eldest brother, turned around and walked out of the hall. Outside, he sighed helplessly.
Deng Yu and the others stepped forward one after another, and Choshi said with a frown: "Lord, if you attack Xinye, our side is in danger of being annihilated!" β
Ma Wu was also reluctant to fight siege warfare, after all, in siege warfare, the role of cavalry was minimal, and it was close to zero.
He said: "I think the lord's plan is good, rushing to the east bank of Huaiyang, although there is a risk, but there is still a great hope of winning!" β
Listening to everyone's discussion, Liu Xiu was in an upset mood, and he walked out. The crowd followed and asked, "Where is the lord?" β
"Go to the barracks, tonight, I'll stay in the barracks." The eldest brother came to Huyang, and he should have given his residence in the county government to the eldest brother to live, and besides, he was also sulking with the eldest brother and didn't want to live with the eldest brother.
Liu Xiu and the others walked to the gate of the county office, and Liu Boji chased after him and asked, "Third brother, where are you going?" β
He stopped and motioned to the crowd around him to go out and wait for him. He turned around and said to Liu Boji, who ran over, "I'll go to the barracks to have a look." β
Liu Boji came to Liu Xiu and asked mysteriously, "When you were discussing, I was eavesdropping outside." Third brother, are you angry with your eldest brother? Big brother is also for your good! β
Liu Xiule and said, "Of course I know that the eldest brother is for my good!" Because of this, even if he has a belly full of anger, he can't vent it, and he has nowhere to vent it.
"You're not mad at Big Brother, are you?" Liu Boji stared at him with wide eyes.
"Nope." Liu Xiu shook his head and smiled.
"That's good." Liu Boji said with a smile: "Third brother, tomorrow we are going to leave for Xinye, today I want to have a good walk in Huyang City." β
Liu Xiu said: "Huyang has just been captured by our army, and there are still many hidden dangers in the city, you are not allowed to go anywhere if you stay in the county office!" β
"Third brother......" Liu Boji looked disappointed, seeing this, Li Tong walked over quickly, arched his hand and said, "Lord, I'll accompany Miss Boji to take a walk around the city!" β
When Liu Boji heard this, his eyes suddenly showed brilliance, and he looked at Li Tong excitedly.
Under Liu Boji's 'affectionate' gaze, Li Tong felt even more fluttering, and added: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely protect Miss Boji!" β
Liu Xiu thought about it, and finally nodded, and before leaving, he didn't forget to remind the two of them that they were only allowed to walk around the county government and not leave too far. Farewell to the two of them, Liu Xiu, Deng Yu and others went to the barracks of the Xiao Cavalry Army.
The military camp of the Xiao Cavalry is located in the north of the city, that is, the large camp where the county soldiers were previously detained.
Walking into the big tent of the barracks, Liu Xiu sat down, Deng Yu walked up to him, frowned, and said: "Lord, the general and his family are attacking Xinye, obviously he has made up his mind to take Xinye City!" β
It is precisely this that makes it even more worrying. If the war is unfavorable and reaches a stalemate, the situation of your own side will be precarious.
Liu Xiu held his forehead and was silent.
At this moment, Jiu'er hurriedly walked in from outside, and when he came to Liu Xiu, he said, "Lord, report from Shuyang!" As she spoke, she handed a small slender strip of cloth to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu hurriedly took it, unfolded the strip of cloth, and looked at it, only a few words were written in it: The county army has now begun to cross the river!
After reading the content of the strip of cloth, Liu Xiu took a breath and said secretly: The speed of the county army is so fast! He handed the small strip of cloth to Deng Yu, looked at Jiu'er, and asked, "Jiu'er, when did you receive this?" β
"Just now!"
"Who sent it?"
"The Book of the Flying Pigeon."
"In other words, the county army is now crossing the river......" Liu Xiu muttered.
Deng Yu answered: "My lord, the eight thousand county troops, it is estimated that it will take at least two or three days to cross the water. β
Choshi nodded in response, "That's right! The county army will first cross a group of people to the other side of the river, and then transport grain, grass, supplies, war horses and other baggage! β
In other words, the county army will not transport all the main forces to the other side at once, and if they carry out the plan of long-distance attack now, it will still be too late.
Ma Wu pouted and said, "The key problem is that the general does not allow us to go on a long-distance attack. β
As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and said urgently: "Lord, otherwise, I will go to the general and ask for orders and lead a thousand cavalry to the east bank of Shuyang!" β
Liu Xiu protected Liu Xiu, everyone could see that if Liu Xiu didn't go, and Ma Wu and Choshi led the army to go, maybe Liu Xiu would agree.
Liu Xiu's mind turned around and said, "It's too late!" Zizhang and Ci Zheng, the two of you immediately ordered a thousand elite soldiers to go with me! β
"Huh?" Everyone present was also shocked and looked at Liu Xiu dumbfounded.
Now the person in charge in Huyang is not Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu, not to mention that Liu Xiu has made it clear at the meeting that he rejected Liu Xiu's proposal, and now he has to do it, that is, he is openly disobeying the military order, which is a capital crime of killing his head. "My lordβ"
