Chapter 490: Capsizing in the Gutter
Until the 26th of February in leap month, the breath of spring in Chang'an City is already very heavy, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the city is full of pink and green.
Liu Yu was busy for a few days, and then he was idle again, for him, the matter at hand has been dealt with almost completely, and only how to maintain the current stable situation is left.
But on February 26, a war report from the south touched Liu Yu's heart.
Huo was trapped in the southern city of Zhongnan and became a trapped beast once.
"That kid, let him supervise the local group training, he made such a big fuss."
The military meeting was held in a hurry, and Liu Yu's descendants in the army also came to Chang'an City from their respective barracks. Huo Disease, which has always been in the eyes of no one who is higher than the sky, is once again deflated, which shows that the enemy's origin is not small, although it is not known who attacked Huo Disease.
"General Huo had more than 700 horsemen on this trip, and he was attacked by unknown people in Zhongnan Province. Fortunately, General Huo transferred his troops well, fought and retreated, and was trapped in Yuzhou City, which was a matter of the 19th. ”
After Liu Yu looked at the map, he was even more worried, if it was the stragglers who escorted Su Yan, the combat effectiveness was not good, and now even Huo Yao's musket team was deflated, and the person who came could be said to be quite strong, after all, Huo Yao's department had followed Huo Yao's southern expedition to the north for nearly two years, and he had rich combat experience.
"What other than that, what else is the exact news?" Liu Yu asked again.
Qu Zhu, who was in charge of intelligence, was also a little embarrassed, and the news from the south was only a few words, and there was no way to find out more information. It's just that he was trapped and asked for help.
Liu Yu looked at the map. Some were annoyed and said, "It's been seven days since the incident." The news reached Chang'an City. And the battle report is so general, is it so useless for the scouts of my Dashun Dynasty army? ”
Liu Yu looked around at everyone in the military station, and everyone had a little shame on their faces. Liu Yu had a lot of hatred in his heart, he belonged to that kind of beater, these people seemed to be very capable, but they were limited to charging into battle, and they didn't seem to care too much about anything else.
"Where is Akira now?" Liu Yudao.
Qu Zhu looked at the battle report and said again: "I don't know." ”
Liu Yu smiled helplessly. asked Hua Ji'an and Huo Yi to go to the south to investigate Su Yan's disappearance, but in less than a month, they hurried to the location of the incident, one was trapped by unknown weapons, and the other disappeared directly without news. Liu Yu felt very powerless, could it be that the armed forces in the south would be so strong?
"And what other definite news, all at once."
"Yes." Qu Zhu replied and continued, "Judging from the battle reports on the front line, General Huo is temporarily trapped in Yuzhou City. However, the local garrison in the Jiangjiang area could not come to the rescue, and the rebels had the intention of besieging the city to help. On whether General Huo ever tried to break through. There is no definite news yet, but judging from the feedback from local battle reports, General Huo may no longer be in the city. ”
"Where can you be if you're not in the city?" Liu Yu looked at Qu Zhu and asked in surprise.
Qu Zhu said with a little shame on his face: "I don't know." ”
It's really a question and three don't know, Liu Yu was angry in his heart, it was already a very serious matter for Huo Yi to be trapped, but now there is "gossip" that Huo Yi is not in the trapped city, so where did he go?
"What does the war report say about that place?"
"The local war report only said that General Huo's headquarters seemed to have unknown actions in Yuzhou City, and General Huo had the intention of leaving the city...... That's probably it. ”
Liu Yu has seen the location of Zhongnan Road and Yuzhou City in detail on the map, both of which are not far from the attack on Su Yan's convoy, and Zhongnan Road is also the only way from the Jiangyou area to Meiguan in Lingnan, Liu Yu has some doubts in his heart, Huo Ill's road seems to have been walked, it stands to reason that Huo Ill should not be in such a hurry to go to the direction of Meiguan, after all, he is going to investigate, not to send troops. Besides, even if the defenders in Meiguan participated in the attack on Su Yan's convoy, Na Huo was not like a person who could investigate clearly as soon as he arrived at the place.
Liu Yuxin said that Huo Ill, a stunned man, was most likely deceived by the enemy's plan, and was lured to Zhongnan Province to eat an ambush, and then retreated in defeat and retreated to Yuzhou City.
Huo Ill's war was too smooth sailing, from a mediocre lieutenant to a powerful general in more than a year, and his military career came to an end from the starting point at one time. Feng Hou worships the general, I'm afraid there is no merit to take it again. And when this kid is smooth sailing, it will inevitably have the idea of underestimating the enemy, he thinks that with his small body, the world is invincible.
In fact, Huo is very good at fighting plain warfare or long-distance raid warfare, but his brain is not very good at turning around, and he does not know the potential dangers of the road. Hua Ji'an once overshadowed him in the Jiangjiang region, and Huo Yi was trapped in Mao County alone for several days, and now he was attacked by unknown people, and his current identity is not what it used to be, I am afraid that he has no place to find a crack to get into, and it is possible to even hit his head and die.
"General Qi, I don't know what you think of this."
Liu Yu turned his gaze to the Yunjin general Qi Fang on the side, Qi Fang is now the nominal commander of the three armies and has a very high right to speak. Liu Yu asked his opinion at this time, and he fully respected him.
"It should be related to the rebellion of the Lingnan barbarians." Qi Fang thought for a moment and replied.
Liu Yu nodded, in fact, he had been worried that this was a terrorist attack carried out by Liu Liniang's clan, that is, people from ethnic minorities in the south. The terrorist attack of the Lingnan alien race in Chang'an City was reported by Liu Liniang, and after it was exposed by Liu Yu, they turned to deal with Su Yan, who had no helper by his side, and Huo Yi stabbed over again and was ambushed, and now it may indicate that there will be a fierce battle waiting for Liu Yu.
Qi Fang asked again: "Do you want to send troops to support immediately?" ”
Liu Yu shook his head, the mountains and rivers are far away, and it took seven days for the news to reach Chang'an City from Jiangnan, and it would take at least ten days to send reinforcements from Chang'an City, and it would take at least ten days to march at the speed of Huo Disease's march, and it would take more than ten days, so the other troops would march even slower. When the reinforcements arrive in Yuzhou City, I am afraid that Yuzhou City has already been broken by mysterious forces.
Liu Yu said: "Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, so it is better to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Huainan to go." ”
After the imperial court pacified the Huai King, there has been a place for the army to be held hostage in the Huainan region, which is also a lot of strength in the new army, although these people lack a strong and powerful commander, but with the strength of the musket team, it should not be a problem to help Yuzhou City and scare those rebels.
"General Zhang, if you have to go, you must rush to Jiangyou before the city of Yuzhou is broken." Liu Yu looked at Zhang Wuzhu, and now only he may be able to leave Chang'an City and help the imperial court resolve a temporary predicament in Jiangnan. (To be continued......)
