February, when spring has just begun to rise, is a season that is very conducive to marching and fighting.

The Huai River, which used to be calm, suddenly became noisy.

Liu Yu led a land and water army of more than 7,000 people, along the Huai River, mighty north.

I saw groups of warships loaded with soldiers in armor and heavy loads of grain and grass, sailing by.

The warm sunlight shone on the wide river, shining with thousands of small and soft golden lights.

The long emerald green willows on both sides bend down the thin waist branches and float among the algae, which indeed adds a lot of beauty to the Huai River.

The army went all the way north to Xiapi first, and Liu Yu went to visit Liu Gaozhi as a junior.

Hearing that Liu Yu was coming, Liu Gaozhi was quite happy and personally welcomed him to the big tent of the Chinese army.

"There are also outstanding rising stars like Jinu in the Beifu soldiers, which makes Ben General deeply proud and proud."

"I heard that the slave has the courage of ten thousand people, I don't know if I can show my hand in public, and let the old man see your martial arts."

Liu Gaozhi is not only a hero with great achievements in the Beifu army, but also a forward general in the Battle of Weishui.

In front of him, Liu Yu didn't dare to hold it up, and said very modestly: "How dare you get an axe in front of the general." ”

"Hahaha, the slave is too modest, but the old man heard that even that Wei Da Du Protector praised you."

Seeing that Liu Yu was so deferential and modest in front of him, Liu Gaozhi couldn't help but like it even more in his heart.

"Recently, the dog Jingxuan's martial arts have grown a lot, and after listening to the name of the slave, I wanted to learn from you, but I don't know if I am willing to teach you?"

"Oh, the general's words are serious!"

"Thanks to the general's wrong love, I am willing to take a few moves with the major general."

Liu Jingxuan has been waiting outside the tent for a long time, he looks quite like his father, extremely majestic, and good at using spears.

When the two met, they first reported to each other's homes, were polite, and then galloped into the martial arts arena, raising swords and guns at the same time.

One is like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the sound is like a thunderbolt; One is like a dragon leaping into the abyss, like thunder.

The two have fought more than 40 times, although they did not distinguish the winner or loser, but the discerning person could see that Liu Jingxuan was far from being Liu Yu's opponent.

However, Liu Yu was exquisite, and he didn't want to fold the face of Liu Gaozhi's father and son, so he deliberately gave in to each other in the competition.

Liu Jingxuan originally admired Liu Yu, but now he acknowledges his concessions, and he can't help but admire and respect the other party more and more.

Liu Gaozhi witnessed the competition between the two people, and praised Liu Yu's martial arts.

"Jinu, your kung fu is really powerful, Jing Xuan is not your opponent."

Liu Jingxuan also ran over, pulled Liu Yu and said with great interest: "It's better to meet than to be famous, I have the honor to fight with Brother Dezhi today, which is an eye-opener for Zaixia." ”

Liu Gaozhi saw that they were talking and laughing, and they talked very speculatively, and couldn't help but be moved: "Both of them are heroes in the world, and they are in love with each other. ”

"The general proposed, and the slaves couldn't ask for it."

Worshipping the son is a common thing in the army, and worshipping Liu Jingxuan is unbelievable for Liu Yu.

In this way, it is equivalent to having a relationship with Liu Gaozhi, which is conducive to elevating his status in the Beifu army.

So, Liu Gaozhi ordered people to put sacrifices, and Liu Yu and Liu Jing immediately announced the burning of incense to the sky and became brothers.

Xiapi's trip, because Liu Yu deliberately low-key and flattering, left a very good impression on Liu Gaozhi.

Liu Gaozhi not only expressed his support for Liu Yu to attack Hu in the north, but also asked his son Liu Jingxuan to bring 3,000 soldiers and horses to help.

With Liu Gaozhi's statement, Liu Yu's confidence increased greatly, and he immediately joined forces with Liu Jingxuan and quickly went north.

……

The army continued to advance northward, and Liu Yu took the opportunity to gather everyone to discuss a strategy against the enemy.

"Today, our army has traveled a long way, the soldiers are tired, and the number of cavalry is far less than that of the enemy, so it is not appropriate to engage the Yan army rashly."

"Otherwise, there may be unforeseen disasters."

"I don't know what the lord does?"

"I intend to set up a formation along the river, and use the sailor warships as the back road, so as to eliminate the worries of the soldiers."

"The art of war is cloudy: put it in the place of death and then live, and fall into the place of death and then survive."

"Today's lord is not confined to the war book and war strategy, but does the opposite, which shows that he has obtained the essence of the art of war."

Liu Yu is worthy of being a master of the art of war, and he learns and applies it lively.

Han Xin lined up with his back to the water, forcing the soldiers to fight to the death in a dangerous way; And he lined up against the water and left a way to live, which was also to inspire the courage of the soldiers.

Liu Yu waved his hand, signaling that this was not enough to boast, and said confidently: "This northward attack is to send troops before the Yan army is heavily damaged. ”

"Hey, that's not easy to do!"

"The enemy Murong Long has nearly 30,000 troops, and our army together is only more than 10,000 people."

"Hahaha, don't worry about the main book, Yu has his own success."

Liu Yu patted Suo Chengming on the shoulder, looking confident, obviously not taking Murong Long in his eyes.

Liu Jingxuan was the first time to break away from Liu Gao's wing to fight, and he was very active.

And he had fought with Yan Jun before, and he was very impressed by the power of the Xianbei Iron Cavalry, so he told Liu Yu the biggest worry in his heart.

"The terrain from Pengcheng to Xiapi is flat, and it is the most advantageous for Hu cavalry to play, and our army does not occupy the advantage of troops, so it may be difficult to resist it in the front."

After listening to what Liu Jingxuan said, Liu Yu pondered in his mind for a while, and said slowly: "In recent years, the Xianbei people have been invincible with the strength of Murong Chui, and Houyan has long been arrogant and proud. ”

"If it is Murong who comes in person this time, with his great prestige, he may be able to encourage the generals."

"However, Murong Chui thought that the general situation was settled, so he stayed in Yecheng and divided the army with his two sons and younger brother to lead."

"Then although Murong Long is known as a famous general of Houyan, do you see how he behaved after leaving Murong Chui? It's not at all like what a famous general does. ”

"It can be seen that without the backbone of Murong Chui, the Houyan people have nothing to worry about."

"This time, I want to teach Murong Long a good lesson, so that he can taste the power of my Great Jin."

"The general should not be careless." Liu Jingxuan felt that Liu Yu was overconfident, and reminded him uneasily.

"Don't worry, Yu has his own calculations, and orders the fleet to speed up."

Liu Yu deeply understood the truth that "anger can be drummed up but not vented", and tried his best to describe Murong Long as a short-sighted and inferior general, so as to psychologically dispel the concerns of everyone under his command.

Sure enough, the soldiers listened to Liu Yu's words of encouragement, and couldn't help but increase their confidence.

Seeing this, Liu Yu continued: "Although Murong Chui's prestige is shocking to the world, he is already old now, and he didn't return from a big defeat last year? ”

"It can be seen that Murong Trai is no longer than before, and there is no need to worry at all."

"Moreover, at present, Houyan is in a domestic crisis, and there is a strong rival Tuoba Jue behind him, and he is expected to not stay in the south for too long."

"Otherwise, once the Northern Wei Dynasty sneaks up from behind, I'm afraid that Houyan will lose its foundation."

"Therefore, as long as this battle can defeat the Yan army slightly, it will definitely make the enemy retreat."

Liu Yu is really powerful, and he sees the internal and external situations very thoroughly.

After listening to Liu Yu's analysis, not only Liu Huaisu, Xiang Jing, Liu Daolin and others admired it, but even Suo Chengming and Liu Jingxuan were secretly admired.

Especially Liu Jingxuan, who originally admired him after losing to Liu Yu in the competition, but now after listening to this analysis, he is even more determined to mix with Liu Yu.

Maybe Liu Yu didn't expect it himself, he just wanted to dispel everyone's fear of Murong Chui, but he unexpectedly gained a little brother.

……

When Liu Yu and Cheng went north, Murong Long also left a small number of men and horses to surround Pengcheng, and he personally led the main force to the south.

Before leaving, Murong Long proudly said to the generals: "My father created a foundation, spanning five states, with trillions of people, 100,000 armor, and the country is rich and strong. ”

"I didn't expect that the Jin court would not be able to measure itself and send it to death, so we just took advantage of this opportunity to gather and annihilate it, and then annex the land of Lianghuai."

Someone saw that Murong Long was proud and underestimated the enemy, so he persuaded him: "The general must not underestimate the enemy, the soldiers of Beifu are brave and good at fighting, and they are an army with strong combat effectiveness. ”

"Hahaha, the Beifu soldiers are not as good as they were ten years ago, and most of our army are cavalry, as long as the Jin army dares to come, it only takes a charge to crush it."

Murong Long was too young, too confident, and too arrogant.

But think about it, like him, since he joined the army, he has almost always followed Murong Chui and has never lost a battle, how can he not be crazy?

It's a pity that he didn't understand that he won the battle in the past because Murong Trai was powerful, and it had nothing to do with him.

Historically, Murong Chui's sons behaved almost perfectly during his lifetime.

Like Murong Nong, Murong Long, and Murong Lin, they made countless meritorious contributions during Murong Chui's lifetime, and they can be described as "tiger fathers without dogs".

However, when Murong Chui died of illness, his performance was very different from before, Murong Nong was better, and the other sons were completely unreliable at the critical moment.

All of them were powerless to stop the invasion of Tuoba Jue, and they buried Houyan Jiangshan alive.

Think about it, if they are really that powerful, will they still need the seventy-year-old Murong Trai to go into battle in history?
