Chapter 168: Chang'an is in danger
Liu Yin, the word is Sun. It is Liu Yao's second son, born to Liu Yao's original wife. Since he was a child, he was deeply loved by his uncle and Emperor Liu Cong of the Han Dynasty. As he gets older, Liu Yin is beautiful and good-looking, and he is already seven feet five inches long when he is more than ten years old, with picturesque eyebrows and sideburns. Emperor Liu Cong told Liu Yao that Liu Yin should be his son. But Liu Yao was just a vassal king at that time, and it was enough to say that he could have an heir to guard the sacrifice, and there was no need to abolish the elder and the younger. But Liu Cong said that Liu Yao was a pillar of the country, and unlike other vassal kings, he should choose the smart and promising Liu Yin as his heir. In the end, Liu Cong simply issued a decree and directly named Liu Yin as the prince of the king.
Because Liu Yin gradually showed extraordinary wit and scheming in his daily affairs, coupled with his increasingly handsome and extraordinary image, Liu Yao slowly moved his heart to Liu Yin's body, began to focus on cultivating him, and had great expectations for him.
"Hmm. Yin'er can have such a judgment, and she is very pleased to be a father. Liu Yao's solemn face rarely squeezed out some smiles, and a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes. No matter how fierce the tiger is, it also looks at its cubs everywhere; No matter how ruthless the jackal is, he does not forget to catch prey to nurse his offspring. Except for a very small number of truly cold-blooded things, this blood and family relationship is the truth of all things in the world, and it cannot be broken.
Liu Yin's words, if someone else said this, Liu Yao would be displeased, and denounced it as disturbing the morale of the army and dissipating the fighting spirit, even if it was severely punished on the spot. It's just that when he said it from his beloved son's mouth, Liu Yao felt that his knowledge was extraordinary, in one sentence.
Liu Yao looked back at the left and right, and then whispered to Liu Yin: "I originally defeated Liu Kun's army in Xiangyuan, and planned to take advantage of the situation to attack Yangqu, completely uproot the remnants of Liu Kun's forces, and wipe out the last stronghold of the Jin Dynasty in Bingzhou. What an opportunity! However, His Majesty thinks that he should first capture Chang'an and capture the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Dynasty again, so that our Han Dynasty can unify the Central Plains and increase its power to the four seas. The edicts came again and again, so I had no choice but to withdraw my troops back to Pu Han and bring Zhao Ran to fight Chang'an. Actually, I selfishly thought that this attack ......"
"The father is the strategy of first removing the wings and then going straight to the center; However, His Majesty simply ignored the branches and directly dug up the rhizomes, but concentrated his vital forces to deal a devastating blow to the enemy's center, so as to perish in the shortest possible time. It's just that the position is different, and the perspective of things is also different. ”
"Well said." Liu Yao was very happy, as if he had forgotten to pay attention to the brutal battle not far away. "But in your opinion, which strategy do you agree with?"
"In the child's opinion, it is more appropriate for the father's point of view."
"Huh? This is a bit disrespectful to Your Majesty. Tell me about it. ”
Liu Yin looked at Liu Yao cautiously, and saw that his father was indeed asking himself sincerely, and he didn't have any intention of disobeying him, so he boldly said: "Giving up the end of the book is the eternal truth." Then it should be implemented in line with the actual situation. In previous years, his father captured Luoyang and captured its monarch, which had dealt a devastating blow to the Jin Dynasty, and its power to control the Central Plains no longer existed. Now the remnants of the Jin monarchs and ministers in Chang'an City are just relying on a city to resist stubbornly, and they can no longer set off any big storms. ”
"If you can ignore it for the time being at this time and extinguish the resistance forces in various places one by one, then Chang'an City has nothing to rely on, and a lonely city will be obtained by me sooner or later. However, if you concentrate your forces to capture Chang'an, that is, it can be regarded as a triumph, then the feudal towns in various parts of it will either be divided and self-reliant, or they will support a new monarch again, repeating the story of the Jin monarch ascending the throne of the dynasty. ”
"Good, good!" Liu Yao's serious face had already bloomed with a heartfelt smile, "My son has extraordinary knowledge, and he can see the truth through the clouds and mist, and I am very happy for you in my father's heart." You're doing it! The future of the future will be above the father. ”
"Father Wang Hongwen is strong and martial, domineering, and the world is in awe. If a child can reach one-tenth of his father's king, he can be regarded as having outstanding qualifications, where can he dare to compare with his father? ”
Liu Yin hurriedly bowed down on the horse, Liu Yao waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Although the reason is good, but at the moment, my father still has to attack Chang'an again." ”
Facing Liu Yin's incomprehensible gaze, Liu Yao said proudly: "Attacking Chang'an, although it is His Majesty's will, I have to obey it, but I joined the army as a young man, followed the first emperor and the present, charged into battle, and braved the arrows and stones, I don't know how many battles I have experienced, how many hard battles have been fought, and the famous generals of the Jin Dynasty who were defeated under my command have won countless victories, so that I have achieved today's prestige." At present, there are 50,000 tigers and wolves, and it is the time to work hard to move forward, how can they collect their troops and turn around for no reason, making people think that they are fighting for their father's name, and they will make the enemy laugh in vain. ”
Liu Yin also knows his father's tough side. However, Liu Yao's current title and fame are indeed all done by him with a knife and a gun, and it has become Liu Yao's daily routine to face difficulties.
Liu Yao reported to his own soldiers, rushed to the front army, and issued a military order to strengthen the attack. The Hun soldiers did not dare to slack off because Liu Yao personally supervised the formation, and they all gritted their teeth and buried their heads in the city. There was a Hun soldier who simply took off his armor and landed a relaxed and cheerful one, with a body like a black bull, holding only a big sword, and roaring from the bottom of the ladder.
The guards on the city, although they were almost paralyzed from exhaustion, but seeing that the enemy army was about to attack the city, the hideous strange face was like a blue-faced fang, and it was terrifying to look at. The instinctive reaction at the moment of life and death still forced the guards to grit their teeth and shake their spirits, pick up their spears and stab out of the battlements. The impaled Hun soldier screamed, and blood gushed out from his mouth, but he did not fall down the ladder, but rose up with brute force, and then he resisted the spear, and killed him in the city wall, like a madman.
The Hun soldier seemed to have no idea what the pain was, he was stabbed through the body with a spear, and blood was constantly spurting from his mouth, and he could still fight back. He grabbed the head of the city with his left hand, and his right hand had already danced the steel knife, and when the two Jin soldiers in front of him were in a hurry, he simply slashed one by one, and was hacked to death behind the battlement. The Hun soldiers opened their mouths and laughed wildly, the white Sensen's teeth were stained red with blood, and he looked like a man-eating demon who rushed out of hell, and several city recruits were shocked by him as if they were nailed to the spot.
"you! Laugh when you die! ”
Seeing that the Hun soldier was about to jump over the wall, there was a veteran of the Jin army, after all, he was bold and could calm down, ran over in two steps, scolded angrily and pierced into the chest of the Hun soldier with a spear. The Hun soldier roared wildly, and the brilliance of life quickly faded in his eyes. But at the last moment, he seemed to burst out with all the strength of his body, and suddenly swooped forward, grabbing the Jin army veteran who gave him a fatal blow, and the next moment, the two of them both fell from the city with a scream, and then fell to their deaths together in the pile of corpses under the city.
Zhao Ran sat on his horse, turned a blind eye, drew his knife and shouted forward, speaking fiercely. Liu Yao personally supervised the army in the Chinese army, and he was about to perform well in front of the top boss, and exchanged his exploits in capturing Chang'an City and destroying the Jin Dynasty with his own hands for a bigger and more prominent hat. Under his command, the Xiongnu army was offensive, and Chang'an gradually became a little overwhelmed.
On the left side of the city, the black-faced Koji Yun saw it in his eyes, and his heart was crawling like an ant. He glanced at it quickly, and saw that Suo Qi on the right side of the city had already moved forward with his sword, shouting loudly to command and refuse to fight, and in the middle, Sima Ye was guarded by the guards, and was leaning on the pillars of the corridor nervously looking left and right, helpless.
But when he saw Suo Qi greet him from a few steps away, he ran to Sima Ye. Ko Yun was in a hurry, so he left the front line for the time being and ran over. When he arrived, he heard Suo Qi hurriedly whispering, "I'm afraid I can't hold it...... Your Majesty, the matter is urgent! You can try to break through with your ministers and others, and go to Jingzhou for the time being! ”
Sima Ye was frightened and hesitated. He had already expressed his stance before, saying that he was unwilling to leave Chang'an, let alone go to the strange and unpeaceful Jingzhou. But now that he was leaning against the pillars, he could already see the hideous faces of the Huns, rising and falling outside the battlements, and the situation was indeed very dangerous. Just as he was groaning and undecided, Suo Qi was already anxious and stomped his feet again and again, "Your Majesty! If you delay any longer, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through! At that time, Hu Lu will flock to the top, and it is inevitable that the jade will be burned, Your Majesty! Let's go! ”
Sima Ye had no master, and looked at Lu Yun as if asking for help. Lu Yun didn't approve of going to Jingzhou either, but at the moment he was also very frightened and uneasy, and his heart was in turmoil. Although Jingzhou is not a good place to go, but it is slow for a while, seeing that the Hun army is so crazy at the moment, I am afraid that in an hour, Chang'an City will have to fall, and it will be too late to regret it.
Lu Yun was sweating profusely, and his heart was beating wildly: "Minister, the minister is in chaos, and he can't come up with any ideas, so let's just listen to Captain Suo's words." ”
