Chapter 570: The Battle of Lanping (I)

In the fierce battle of Yisu, the imperial army and the allied forces of Zhongmiao temporarily repelled the armies of Nanmiao and Annan. Nan Miao's army was completely stragglers, and after being suppressed by Hua Ji'an's troops with earthen cannons and muskets, they fled like lost dogs.

The situation of Annan's army was much better, and Annan's army was also an elite division, although they did not have the advanced weapons of the imperial army, but after the attack was frustrated, they temporarily withdrew to the east of Guanyue Mountain, so that they could advance and retreat and defend.

As the commander-in-chief of this war, Liu Yu has always stayed in Zhongmiao's Dazhai and did not go to the front line in person. That night, Liu Liniang, as the leader of Zhongmiao, led the clansmen to fight on the front line, and the direct enemy of Zhongmiao was the remnants of Nanmiao who had just been dispersed by the imperial army, so Zhongmiao did not have any big losses that night, but the victory boosted morale.

When Liu Liniang came back in the morning, Liu Yu sat on the bench in front of the spread out military map, his head resting on his knees, looking absent-minded and drowsy.

"General......" Liu Liniang came in with two entourages and called.

Liu Yu raised his head slightly, no joy or sorrow, and just asked, "Are you back?" ”

Liu Liniang could feel the coldness of Liu Yu's attitude, and saluted in the manner of a soldier: "General, don't you worry about the war outside?" ”

"I'm just a commander, I've worked out the tactics properly, and the rest is for the generals outside to do things according to the actual situation...... Hey, who let you sit next to this king? ”

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he turned his head sideways and found that Liu Liniang had already sat down side by side on his bench.

Liu Liniang smiled and said, "The general is still angry with Liniang? ”

Liu Liniang said this, but it seems that Liu Yue is stingy. Liu Yu looked in the direction of the door of the earthen building and said: "Li Niang has done her best for the clan, and she is worthy of praise." The war is at stake. I'm afraid that no one will have time to be angry with anyone. ”

Liu Liniang is in love with a cold ass. stood up and said, "Then there is time, the general will be angry with Li Niang again." Now that the war is tight, I still hope that the general can defend these clansmen who need your protection, don't be angry. ”

Liu Yu smiled helplessly in his heart, Liu Liniang was reminding him not to declare personal vendettas. Thinking of this, Liu Yu also pondered in his heart, when did he have a "grudge" with Liu Liniang?

Liu Yu was about to tell Liu Liniang about the next step in the war, and Liu Liniang had already left with her entourage.

Liu Yu suddenly felt very depressed. Liu Liniang will always give him all kinds of psychological discomfort, and even put on a face in front of Liu Liniang, but people don't give him a chance.

After the victory in the night battle, the imperial army also entered a temporary recuperation and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue. The main reason is that the imperial army did not understand the terrain of Guanyue Mountain in the south of Lanping, and Liu Yue did not want to fight an uncertain battle.

The imperial army was divided into two armies, Zhang Wuzhu's army pressed in front, and the spearhead was directed at the Annan army in Guan Yueshan, while Huo Yi and Hua Ji'an were transferred back by Liu Yu, mainly because Liu Yue was afraid of Huo Yao's frizziness. Before he could clear the situation, he plunged into it. In an unfamiliar place, the combined forces of Annam and Nam Miao could easily use the terrain to ambush them. When the time comes, even if there are new weapons, it will be useless.

Liu Yu came out of the earthen building, and Huo Yi was returning with a group of people to transport grain, which was also Liu Yu's arrangement. The imperial army fought for Zhongmiao, and the supply of grain and grass naturally had to be provided by Zhongmiao, and Liu Liniang also mobilized the people of Zhongmiao to collect food, and a group of them had been gathered in the morning.

Liu Yu came out and saw that the people of Zhongmiao still stayed away from the imperial army, because the grievances were too deep, and this national contradiction could not be resolved for a while.

"The general also came out to take a look?"

Seeing Liu Yu come out, Liu Liniang greeted her with a smile, and this time it was Liu Yu's turn to put on a face.

"You give me a detailed map of the area around Lanping, and you have to arrange tactics." Liu Yu said a word, and before leaving, Liu Yu reminded again, "Take care of your people, I don't want to be stabbed in the back." ”

Liu Liniang's attitude towards Liu Yu is also very helpless, and the two of them seem to have changed from last night's hot love period to a cold war period. Now fighting side by side, it seems that there is no common language.

When Liu Yu got the military map, he summoned Huo Yi and Hua Ji'an and several generals in the army to hold a pre-war mobilization meeting in a temporary marching tent. Liu Liniang took the initiative to ask to participate, but Liu Yu did not refuse, and asked her to stand aside with a few Zhongmiao people.

Liu Yu's strategy this time was somewhat unreasonable, and after specifying some marching routes, Liu Yu specifically explained that he should first check whether the terrain was consistent with the map before making further military actions.

"General Liu, what do you mean by this? Don't you believe the map that our Miao people gave you? Liu Liniang asked righteously.

Liu Yu said in an unkind tone: "When marching and fighting, you must be cautious, if there is any deviation in the map, resulting in the defeat of the battle, dare to ask, will you Miao people be responsible?" ”

Several men behind Liu Liniang immediately retorted: "What about being responsible? ”

Liu Liniang hurriedly stopped the further protests of the clansmen, and now she felt that it might be her actions that annoyed Liu Yue, and now Zhongmiao's future fate has been completely pinned on the imperial army, it is easy to ask the gods to send the gods, it is not Liu Liniang who said that if Liu Yu leaves with the army, the imperial army will leave.

If the imperial army wants to occupy Lanping by force, the Zhong Miao people can be said to have no way.

When the meeting ended, Liu Liniang stayed alone, saying that she wanted to ask Liu Yu about some deployment, but in fact, she also wanted to resolve the contradiction with Liu Yu.

"Twelve Shao, how can you be such a stingy person? Where Liniang offended you, can't she make amends to you? ”

"Reparations?" Liu Yue sneered, "Then we have to talk about how to make amends." ”

Liu Yu was like a hungry wolf, gradually approaching Liu Liniang, who was like a sheep, and suddenly pressed her down on the table of the military meeting. Liu Yue is ready to be a little more domineering, and directly ask for the most common "method of reparation".

Originally, Liu Yu thought that whether Liu Liniang was interested in him, or just a false wrong, he would obey this time. Who knew that Liu Liniang still pushed him away, and then warned him with a very stern gaze.

Liu Yu's heart was on fire, and was doused by Liu Liniang with a basin of cold water, and said helplessly: "This is how you make amends, how can you be sincere?" ”

"Twelve Shao, everything else can promise you, but this matter is ...... Not. Liu Liniang's face showed a rare twisted look.

"Why?"

"Yesterday, I confessed in front of my clan that you are my man, and I will not regret it. But according to the rules of our Miao people...... Some things must be reasonable and legitimate, and after this war, I must give a reasonable account to my people...... Otherwise, I really want to be burned to death by fire, as Nondo said, do the twelve young people want to see this result? ”

Liu Yu pondered these words for a while, but didn't understand them for a while.

When Liu Liniang left, Liu Yu thought again, what kind of explanation did Liu Liniang want to give to the clansmen? Is it because Nondo said that she was looking for a wild man?

Liu Yu doesn't care much about Liu Liniang's emotional past, just like lovers who have to entangle each other's past will cause a lot of unpleasantness. Although Liu Yu has a big man's idea, he is quite open-minded in this matter, especially for Liu Liniang, a woman who has been adrift in the rivers and lakes and Vanity Fair for many years.

A coquettish and charming Liu Liniang, Liu Yue can accept it, but now Liu Liniang looks like she can't be approached by others, but Liu Yu can't accept it.

Liu Yu is very similar to catching up and asking what it means, but he thinks that it must be boring to ask questions.

Liu Liniang didn't hook up, so Liu Yu went to find Duo Lin, the obedient sister, and sure enough, Duo Lin didn't have such an unattainable attitude towards him as Liu Liniang. Since Doreen knew that Liu Yu's identity was not simple, she had a little more respect for Liu Yue, and Liu Yu also took the opportunity to let her know that she was just an ordinary person with flesh and blood.

After grinding with Doreen's ears and temples for a while, Lian was born to deliver news from the front. It was the information sent by Zhang Wuzhu.

Zhang Wuzhu's troops had already pressed the Annan army in Dongyue Mountain, because Dongyue Mountain was only seventy or eighty miles away from Zhongmiao's Dazhai, and the terrain on this road was quite flat, and it only took a few hours for the horses to go back and forth. Zhang Wuzhu had already summed up the terrain of the front line and the situation in Annan's army, and submitted it to Liu Yu for decision.

Roughly speaking, after the defeat of the Annam army, it withdrew to a valley on the eastern side of Dongyue Mountain, and the valley was also a shock river valley, and it was stationed while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. But this group of Annan's army obviously looked at the imperial army in the same way as dealing with the southern army, but they didn't know that the speed of the march of the imperial army was faster than they imagined.

Although the imperial army did not show up, a large number of sentries had been sent from the flank to investigate the situation of the Annan army, and the imperial army could really enter at any time and catch the Annan army by surprise.

"General, what General Zhang means, can you strike first and annihilate this group of southern barbarians in one fell swoop!" Lian Husheng said.

Liu Yu smiled, if Huo Yi was in command of the army before, there would be absolutely no problem, Huo Yi would definitely rush forward with the soldiers without hesitation. Although Zhang Wuzhu is a martial artist, he is very cautious, sometimes he is in a hurry to do things, and sometimes he is afraid to shrink, such a good opportunity, since he didn't attack immediately, he came to ask him for what he meant.

"In the past, General Zhang took care of these things, and he thought it would be okay, just do it. If you come to me for advice on everything, does that mean that without my orders, this battle will not be fought? ”

Lian Husheng was stunned at first, he didn't expect Liu Yu to be so open-minded and let the generals under his command make their own decisions. You must know that the front line is less than 100 miles from the Chinese army's big tent, and in this case, it stands to reason that the Chinese army's big tent will directly give orders.

"Then the subordinate will go and give the order."

"Hmm. You go there in person, and if there is anything, report it as soon as possible. Liu Yu said.

Lian Husheng immediately took the guards to the front to spread the word in person.

When Lian Husheng left, Liu Yue thought about it, at this time, it would be a waste to let Huo Yi stay in the rear, so it was better to let him go to the front line together. (To be continued......)
