Chapter 52: Half of the World
No wonder, no wonder Yu Yukui didn't appear some time ago, it turned out to be back to Yingchuan, so it's not surprising that he suddenly visited Runan now.
Runan and Xinye are not far away, and even the two places are separated by the pass as a military defense hub, and Xinye is the base camp of Yu Youkui, according to her previous statement, the most elite soldiers and horses are raised in Xinye.
Jingzhou and Yangzhou are very different, Jingzhou Thorn Shi has self-respect, many soldiers and horses, local officials since the purchase of officials, take the initiative to hand over the military power, which is equivalent to Jingzhou Thorn Shi family dominance, then Yu Youkui training under his nose, as long as the local officials are bought.
After thinking of this, Cheng Liu took a deep breath.
The person who is waiting for this young fish is afraid that it is himself......
But at this time, it is too late to divert, tomorrow it will pass through Runan, and then detour to Jizhou North, and then it will strengthen its momentum step by step.
Tian Feng saw that Cheng Liu had been thinking deeply after listening, and hurriedly asked, "What did the lord remember?" ”
Cheng Liu waved his hand: "Put the fish juvenile aside in advance, let's study the terrain of Luoyang." ”
The situation in Luoyang City has now reached the most dangerous edge, but how to enter the army, Cheng Liu has to find a way to stop the Yellow Turban Army from entering Jianye, and the most critical way is to master the terrain of Luoyang, defend them with danger, and trap them outside Jianye City, without causing the disgust of the Yellow Turban Army.
Sweet potato put away the information and re-laid the city defense map of Luoyang City.
First of all, all the passes outside the imperial capital are currently not heavily guarded, but in the future, because of the Northern Expedition of the Yellow Turban Army, the commander will be set up to garrison, Cheng Liu is now puzzled, if according to the development of historical facts, it should be Emperor Han Ling who made this move, so does Empress He still have this kind of courage now?
Tian Feng's words brought Cheng Liu back to reality, only to hear him speak: "There are not many Kyoto passes, Hangu Pass, Otani, Guangcheng, Yique, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin, etc. are the main places where soldiers and horses are stationed, and it is convenient for cavalry scouts to wander around, but in the current situation, the palace has not ordered to garrison heavy troops, Tian thinks that the 50,000 soldiers and horses outside the city can be stationed in Hangu Pass, Dagu and Guangcheng respectively. ”
"If the Yellow Turban Army wants to enter the city, these fortresses must pass through, we are stationed in the pass, we can block their soldiers and horses from the outside, even if they must ask to enter, we can also push the boat down the river to do personal favors, in short, we can attack and retreat."
Cheng Liu nodded slightly, and then said: "Hangu Pass is different from other fortresses, this pass has a geographical advantage, so it can't be put until it is absolutely necessary. ”
Ma Yuanyi had not yet arrived in Jianye at this time, but he only went south to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers and horses, but the secret agents in his army had already sent out information, and the next step was Jianye.
Then before him, the soldiers and horses had to be stationed in, and the reason for taking over was very simple, Kyoto City was empty of air defense, which was to make up for the soldiers and horses.
"What if the original soldiers and horses are unwilling to withdraw? After all, Luoyang Ling does not eat soft and hard, if it makes trouble in the palace......"
"Then it's even simpler, our soldiers and horses can be merged, and then mixed in after the momentum is raised, and attack Luoyang together."
Xu Shu nodded slightly: "This plan is very good, it will not arouse the suspicion of the palace, let alone lead to the contradiction of the Yellow Turban Army, as long as we do not lose the support of the people, after we take the momentum, we will be able to take charge of half of Luoyang City with Jianye as the base." ”
Tian Feng frowned, and then asked with some concern: "But at this time, if all the soldiers and horses are stationed near the Jingshi Pass, in case of civil strife in the state and county, how should we deal with it?" ”
Cheng Liu took a deep breath and said a little helplessly: "The state and county have no way to control the situation at this time, follow this situation, let alone the state and county in the next half a month, even Luoyang is in danger, in just one or two months, you can see the rise and fall of the Han family with your own eyes." ”
After all, Xu Shu is a scholar and a bachelor of literature, and when he saw the rise and fall of the country at this time, no matter for some reason, he still couldn't hide his sadness.
The problem that Tian Feng just mentioned, the reason why the state and county will eventually lose is directly related to the current situation.
About half a month ago, Cheng Liu received a request for a joint letter, and he had to sign and sign it in accordance with the 'rules' to show his determination to go north.
Yangzhou is still like this, not to mention the rest of the states and counties, after the Zhangjiao uprising, they have already accumulated momentum and soldiers and horses openly and secretly, waiting for the opportunity to revolt when the world is in turmoil.
As one of the largest religious forms of civil rebellion in ancient history, the Yellow Turban Uprising, a peasant war, swept along with the wheel of history, leaving a heavy wheel mark in the near future for future generations to judge.
Tian Feng drank a lot on a whim, his face was flushed at this time, and he shouted with the wine jar: "My generation is a person who has the intention to be high-spirited, but he was born at the wrong time, and he wants to survive in today's troubled times!" The 100,000 soldiers of the Beijing Division are like paper paste, not as good as Zhang Jiao, the giant deer who sells medicine! The decline of the Han family, how can our generation be prosperous, where is the prosperity! ”
The last sound can be described as hoarse, and the sweet potato ran over from afar, thinking that something was wrong.
Xu Shu may also have been infected, and casually echoed: "Heroes emerge in troubled times, at this moment, I, Xu, am also going to wade into troubled waters!" ”
Looking at the two heroic figures, Cheng Liu also coughed dryly twice, and shouted at the valley in the distance: "That...... Then I'm not far behind, I have to ask for at least half of the world! ”
Sweet potato stood on the side, embarrassedly drilling into the ground with his toes, Cheng Liu's effort to say a few more words, he might be able to drill out a Luoyang city defense map......
The two shouted, after all, they were literati strategists, and the road was bumpy, and they completely lost their spirits, and Cheng Liu hurriedly asked the two to go to rest first.
After they returned to the room, Cheng Liu called the sweet potato aside and asked softly: "The situation in Yangzhou, the assassin is silent?" ”
Sweet potato nodded with a wry smile: "I really didn't say a word, I thought that at least part of the garrison would be left, but after the rest of the soldiers and horses of the county guard went north, it seemed that they were worried that the Jingshi would find out, so they didn't dare to change the government order, so they could only turn a blind eye." ”
Cheng Liu clenched his fists slightly: "This old man is also afraid of being burned, forget it, I finally raised a pure land in Danyang County, and I can't let the war be completely destroyed." You let the dark pile directly take over the soldiers and horses of the local officials, and if you don't have enough people, you can borrow it from Yingchuan, and send someone to send a letter to Yu Youkui, so that she can come forward to deal with it. ”
The sweet potato was a little surprised, but a little relieved.
"I know, but Childe, if we get involved, if someone in the rear really takes advantage of the situation, I'm afraid we won't be able to spare our hands and feet!"
