Yang Wu didn't pay attention to Liu Yanying's words, but said coldly: "Lone gave your father 20,000 forbidden troops, and gave him enough time to attack a lonely city without any reinforcements, but it was such a result. ”

"At the beginning, Lone asked him to capture Qianzhou, but he withdrew without Lone's permission. What does he want to do, do you want to rebel? ”

Liu Yanying's heart trembled violently, obviously startled by the word "rebellion", and Zhou Zong, who was on the side, also changed his face after hearing it.

For Liu Xin, a general who led the troops abroad, one of the things they were most worried about was being suspicious of the monarch.

Now Yang Wu openly asked if his father wanted to rebel, which naturally made Liu Yanying afraid.

Rebel!

If Yang Wu really thinks that Liu Xin has plans to rebel, then it is either Liu Xin's future is worrying, or the lives of the Liu family may be lost.

Therefore, Liu Yanying immediately knelt on the ground with a "plop", and defended with a pale face: "The king, although the minister's father withdrew his army without completing the king's military order this time, his purpose is just to rest and regroup, and then launch an attack after regrouping, and he has absolutely no intention of rebelling." Please also King Mingjian! ”

Liu Yanying was frightened, and Zhou Zong on the side couldn't help but stand up and say: "King, although General Liu withdrew his troops without permission, this is indeed a violation of the king's military order, but to say that he rebelled, this should be impossible, right?" ”

Liu Yanying immediately looked at Zhou Zong with gratitude on her face, and then looked at Zhu Jin, Guo Chongtao and others on the side, with a hint of asking for help in her eyes.

Zhu Jin and Guo Chongtao are more calm than Liu Yanying and Zhou Zong.

The two of them understood that it was impossible for Yang Wu to think that Liu Xin wanted to rebel, and the reason why he said this was just to express his dissatisfaction to Liu Xin through Liu Yanying's mouth.

These two scheming guys were still calmly watching the play on the sidelines, but Liu Yanying asked them for help, and they had to stand up and intercede for Liu Xin.

"The king, although General Liu is guilty of dereliction of duty, but he said that he rebelled, but the minister did not believe it, please ask the king to investigate!"

Yang Wu snorted coldly and scolded Liu Yanying: "Stand up and talk back!" ”

Liu Yanying hurriedly got up and stood solemnly, still looking very nervous.

Yang Wu said slowly: "Qianzhou is a remote place, and after more than 20 years of operation by Lu Guangchou, the population is prosperous, and it is a good place for rebellion. ”

Liu Yanying's face was even paler, but she didn't dare to interject.

I only heard Yang Wu then say to Liu Yanying: "If your father plans to rebel, you can lead a thousand Yulin troops to help him, and I promise not to stop you; Your Liu family's family members who are still in Jinling and Hongzhou, Gu also sent him over, and promised not to be embarrassed! ”

Liu Yanying's face became more and more pale, as if she was almost fainting with fright.

Fortunately, at this moment, Yang Wu's tone changed and said: "However, if your father doesn't plan to rebel, then let him hurry up and take Qianzhou down; You go and tell him that apart from the thousand feather forest army you command, Lone will not give him a single reinforcement; Within half a month, if Lone didn't hear the good news of his attack on Qianzhou, what the consequences were, you can think about it yourself! ”

When Liu Yanying heard that there was another choice, he was immediately overjoyed, and he didn't care about the half-month time limit, and immediately assured Yang Wu: "Please rest assured, the king will tell his father and let him pass the good news to Jiangling within half a month!" ”

At this point, he had some popularity on his face.

After Yang Wu saw his expression, he snorted coldly, and then sent him away.

After Liu Yanying retreated, Yang Wu still had a gloomy face, but Zhu Jin and Guo Chongtao gradually couldn't help laughing.

Yang Wu suddenly glared at the two of them angrily, but then, looking at the smiles on their faces, he himself couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Zong didn't know why the three of them were laughing at this time, but when he saw that Yang Wu and Guo Chongtao were all laughing, he himself laughed.

Suddenly, the tense atmosphere in the camp just now was swept away, and it was full of smiles.

"The king and Guo joined the army and Zhu Shu's envoy, what are they laughing at? Isn't it funny what just happened? Zhou Zong muttered in his heart.

In fact, Yang Wu never doubted Liu Xin, Liu Xinai was a veteran who followed Yang Xingmi to beat Sun Ru back then, and over the years, he has established countless achievements.

Although Liu Xin sometimes behaved a little muddy, Yang Wu would not doubt his ability or loyalty.

The reason why he said those words to Liu Yanying was just to scare him, and seeing that he was really frightened by his words, the anger in his heart came out.

And Guo Chongtao and Zhu Jin also understood Yang Wu's purpose, so after Liu Yanying left, they couldn't help laughing.

As for saying that Liu Xin did not complete the task this time, but wanted to ask the imperial court for reinforcements, Yang Wu was naturally very annoyed at the beginning, feeling that Liu Xin could not even complete such a simple task, which really disappointed him.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the failure of this attack on Qianzhou could not be attributed to Liu Xin.

You must know that war is inherently impermanent, and sometimes you are clearly facing a strong enemy, and the result is easily victorious; Sometimes it's the other way around, when your enemies are not only weak, but also inconspicuous, only to be defeated.

There are so many of these things that no one can guarantee that they can always win.

As for Qianzhou, the main reason why Yang Wu and others planned for four years to attack Qianzhou was that they didn't want to do it while Lu Guangchou and Tan Quanbo were still there, so as to reduce the difficulty of seizing Qianzhou as much as possible.

Who knows is that after Lu Guangchou died, Tan Quanbo retired, and Li Qiu killed Lu Yanchang again, he thought that the time to seize Qianzhou had finally come, but after things turned around, Qianzhou became Tan Quanbo's commander again.

No one expected this change.

And Tan Quanbo, an old guy known as "Little Zhuge ", is indeed outstanding, and with the absolute weakness of Qianzhou, he can repel Liu Xin's attack.

Therefore, Liu Xin's defeat cannot be attributed entirely to himself.

Of course, Liu Xin's biggest mistake was that he did not use negotiation to solve the Qianzhou issue at the beginning, but rashly used force.

If negotiations with Tan Quanbo had started at that time, it was very likely that Qianzhou would have surrendered long ago; However, Liu Xin's rash attack forced the defenders in the city to a dead end, and the defenders who had no way to retreat could naturally only fight desperately with the Wu army.

By now, even if he wanted to persuade Tan Quanbo to surrender, he couldn't do it, because Qianzhou's resistance had already made a bad start, and if he couldn't be subdued by force, then the local forces in those remote areas would only look down on Wu Jun.

After losing a strong deterrent to those areas, in the future, those remote areas will only be afraid of turmoil from time to time.

So the only way now is to continue the assault, take Qianzhou by force, and severely punish those generals who resist.

After laughing for a while, Yang Wu's mood was much better, and the anger he had generated before because of Liu Xin's battle report was also vented, so he said to Guo Chongtao and the others: "Liu Xin, this guy has a bit of a muddy temperament, if he doesn't beat him from time to time, I'm afraid he will make a fuss." ”

He wasn't worried that the words he said just now would make Liu Xin think wildly, Yang Xingmi's heavier words were said to Liu Xin back then, and he said it in front of Liu Xin, but Liu Xin only regarded it as the wind in his ears, his left ear went in, and his right ear went out, and it didn't affect it at all.

Now Yang Wu just said a few heavy words to his son, but I am afraid that Liu Xin will not take it to heart.

Yang Wu remembered that Liu Xin was also a pillar general in the late Southern Wu period in history, and he lived long enough.

When the other veterans were old, he was still active in the army, although he was also very old; The body is extremely strong.

In the future, if Yang Wu wants to go on a Northern Expedition, other veterans are afraid that they may not be able to survive until that time, but Liu Xin should still be able to serve as a general all the way.

Therefore, in the past few years, Yang Wu has tried his best to train Liu Xin, and many battles have been made for him to command, the purpose is to let him fight often and accumulate more experience.

……

That night, Liu Yanying led a thousand forest troops under his command to go out overnight, preparing to rush to Qianzhou; The rest of the soldiers seized the time to rest and prepare for the next day's battle.

Early the next morning, before it was light, Wu Jun began to bury the pot and make rice; By the time it was dawn, Wu Jun had already finished breakfast and was ready to leave the camp.

There will be a big battle today, Yang Wu, Hou Zhan, Qin Pei, and Wang Maozhang, these four will each supervise the battle outside an acropolis, urging the Wu army to launch a fierce attack; What is certain is that today's fighting is bound to be fierce.

Those soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield will survive in the end, and who will fall forever, everyone has no bottom in their hearts.

However, none of the many soldiers felt timid in their hearts, after all, as soldiers, they were in this troubled world, and everyone was prepared to die in battle.

As long as these soldiers are not deliberately sent to death, under the strict requirements of military discipline, they will naturally fight to the death.
