Chapter 60: The War Begins
"My lord, the ghost is in the north, at least in the eyes and ears that are too cool, they have all been eradicated."
was sent by Xiao Yu to clean up Li Ru and Yan Liang, and finally came back at this juncture, and also brought back good news to Xiao Yu.
"Well, it's hard work for Wenyou and Zhaowu. But right now, it's an eventful time! ”
Getting the news that the Charm Demon was eradicated, Xiao Yu should naturally be extremely happy, but in the current situation, Xiao Yu couldn't be happy.
"Lord, what's wrong? Is it Yongren again? The last general will go and bring up some soldiers and horses and destroy them! ”
When Yan Liang saw Xiao Yu like this, he estimated that most of them were in a war, and thought that the Yong people were making a comeback. Immediately patted his chest and said reassuringly.
"No, no. This time it can't be as simple as Yongren. ”
Xiao Yu shook his head, for Xiao Yu at the moment, the Yongren are no longer anything, and they are an opponent worthy of a headache, unless it is another Yong'e alliance.
"But there's movement in Nanyan? Lord. ”
Li Ru touched his beard, with the brilliance of wisdom in his eyes, and turned around a few times, and then asked.
"Sure enough, it's my brainstorm, and it's indeed a new trend in Nanyan. Fang Wei, the right minister, reprimanded Qin Xiu when the dynasty was in power, and was already under house arrest by Qin Xiu. Qin Xiu ordered Yin Li in Pingliang Prefecture, and Yunmen Prefecture Haifu sent troops to attack me, and at the same time ordered the northern general Qi Kun to command 100,000 troops, and the three parties converged to attack me too cool. ”
Xiao Yu nodded first, approving Li Ru's guess before continuing.
"Pingliang Prefecture and my Tailiang Prefecture stand next to each other, but ......"
"But what?"
When Xiao Yu heard this, it seemed that Li Ru already had a countermeasure, so he hurriedly asked.
"I don't know, can the lord dare to gamble?"
Li Ru twisted a handful of his beard and asked Xiao Yu.
"Bet? It depends on how you gamble. What are the pros and cons? ”
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, bet? After careful calculation, since I started Xiaoye Mountain, there have been more and more times when I am desperate. Whether it is the breakthrough of Xiaoye Mountain, the fraudulent surrender and killing of Sima You, or the current army of Zhuwen, is that time not gambling with his life?
"Send an additional 20,000 soldiers to support General Liu Lao and others, and then transfer the remaining soldiers out to attack Pingliang Prefecture with all their might. With the momentum of galloping, he gave Pingliang Prefecture a thunderous blow and quickly swallowed the entire Pingliang Prefecture. ”
"If there are two states, it should be available for our army's long-term war needs, and the foundation of all the other two states should be able to recruit more soldiers."
"Well, what Wen You said is not unreasonable."
Xiao Yu nodded in agreement, and then said: "Taiping Erzhou is close to the grassland, the people are fierce, and nine of the ten households have knives and are indeed full of potential. If you promise heavy profits, there will be brave men, and these people will be able to go into battle and kill the enemy with a little training. ”
"That's right, although there are two advantages to this, there are also two disadvantages."
"Two disadvantages? What are the two drawbacks? ”
Xiao Yu immediately became interested, in his opinion, there should be two advantages and one disadvantage, I don't know where this other disadvantage comes from?
"This disadvantage is that Tailiang Prefecture is bound to be in a state of emptiness, whether it is the attack of the Yong'e coalition or the changes in the internal family, it will be difficult to deal with, and it is very likely that Tailiang will be lost, and we will be homeless."
"Well, this disadvantage is exactly what Ben Jiang thinks, but Ben Jiang doesn't know about this other disadvantage."
"These two disadvantages are rash attacks on Pingliangzhou, which will lead to the possibility that the lord will be in the target of public criticism."
"Why?"
Suddenly, Xiao Yu frowned, and everyone was targeted. How did you become the target of public criticism? He raised righteous soldiers, rebelled against ministers, and heroes and heroes in the world, all looking forward to being able to defeat Qin Xiu and rescue the son of heaven, especially now that Qin Xiu is under house arrest, it has aroused the dissatisfaction of the corporal and literati of Xu State.
In this case, how can he take the initiative to attack and punish those who are willing to be thieves and tigers, and become the target of public criticism?
"If you take Pingliang Prefecture, the lord can sit on the land of two states, and who else in the world can sit on the land of two states besides you?"
"Even if Qin Xiu is a dignified left-hand minister, he is just taking advantage of the righteousness of the Son of Heaven to command the world. Even if some states and counties were installed by Qin Xiu with their own people, they did not openly support Qin Xiu and regarded him as the master. ”
"But the lord is different here, once the Taiping Erzhou is taken, it is up to you alone, do you think those assassins, generals, and ambitious people will not be blushing?"
"What you say is true, but ......"
Xiao Yu really had a headache this time, and it was obvious that Qin Xiu was the biggest enemy right now. But he may become the target of everyone, which is a headache for him!
"So, I asked the lord if he dared to make a bet?"
"Bet? What is there to dare to bet on! Since there are these two benefits, why not be afraid of his two disadvantages, only the interests in hand are the real interests! How can we achieve great things! ”
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes widened, and he said fiercely.
"Good!"
Li Rudu didn't have time to say anything yet. Yan Liang on the side suddenly let out a loud shout, with a look of excitement on his face.
"Yan Liang, what are you doing? Surprise me! ”
Li Ru was taken aback by Yan Liang, and his whole body was trembling. Immediately, with a black face, he asked Yan Liang dissatisfiedly.
"My fault, my fault."
Yan Liang hurriedly put on a smiling face, and he also knew that this suddenness was indeed that Li Ru was frightened.
"It's not because of the lord's words, I feel that the lord said it well, and I didn't hold back for a while, so I ...... Hehe...... Please also forgive me, the lord. ”
"I won't worry about you this time, if there is a next time, I will scare Wen You again. See if I don't give you a good look! ”
Xiao Yu glared and scolded Yan Liang. But the tone is not heavy, it is more of a joke than a reprimand.
"Yes, yes...... I will pay attention to it next time. ”
Yan Liang could only accompany the smiling face, nodded again and again.
"And next time?"
Li Ru immediately asked in a dissatisfied tone.
"Uh...... No, no, no, there will be no next time. ”
Yan Liang waved his hand again and again and said eagerly. But as soon as the words ended, the three of them looked at each other, and then laughed.
"Hahahaha...... I can't imagine that the two of you can still have this side! ”
Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then said, "Yan Liang!"
"The last general!"
Seeing that it was time to get down to business, Yan Liang and Li Ru both restrained their smiles.
"In this battle, I want you to be the vanguard, Zixiao as the commander, Feiyu as the rear army, and Wen You as the counselor, do you have any objections?"
"But at the disposal of the Lord!"
Li Ru and Yan Liang had no objections. Tailiangzhou is the base camp, even if there are no soldiers, Xiao Yu still has to deal with the family here to appease the people. Anyway, isn't the family also without soldiers? Who can be afraid of who can't?
