Chapter 130: Counting the Merry Figures of the Present and Present (2)

A few days after Cao Yan left, due to the situation, Lu Dengyun quickly led his army to leave Huangsha County and go to Youzhou.

The task he shouldered was obviously more difficult to accomplish than Cao Yan, after all, although Hu Yanshi was a famous general of a generation, well-known in the south, and had good skills, he was not a general who was originally stationed in Yanzhou.

He is a patriot, and his understanding of Yanzhou, especially those subtle places, is still insufficient.

For all kinds of situations in Yanzhou, he almost only knows about it from maps and some intelligence, so his biggest advantage as a defender is gone, even if Cao Yan has not actually led troops to Yanzhou, but the needs and use of each other's geographical advantages by the offensive and defensive sides are not a level.

Not to mention that Yanzhou has just fallen, in fact, there is still chaos inside, coupled with the characteristics of the terrain, the advantage of attack is not conducive to defense, Huyanshi does not say disadvantage, but at the very least, the advantage can only be reflected in the strength of troops.

But Youzhou is different, the four generations of the Xu family have worked hard here, and the Youzhou army is not an easy generation, which can be described as an iron bucket for the defense of the border, and where will they be exposed.

For Xu Jintang, who is bent on rebelling and replacing the Gu royal family, even if he no longer looks down on Huangsha County, a useless projectile place, but in the end, there is still some defense, not all unprepared.

Lu Dengyun brought people over this trip, if he wanted to destroy the land with grain and grass that was the top priority and extremely heavily defended, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky, and it would never be easier than Cao Yan.

But in the eyes of this very honest person, as long as it is necessary to do and what he thinks is the right thing, that is, although tens of millions of people have gone to me, Lu Dengyun still set aside the agreed time.

The destination of his trip, that is, Hedong County, Youzhou, was originally the nominal fief of Gu Xuan, the king of Hedong County, according to the will issued by His Majesty the Emperor in the Jinluan Palace, only a year later, the assessment of the Ministry of Officials passed, and he could take over this place justifiably and dig the corner of the Xu family.

It's just that I didn't think that the wishful thinking of the imperial court was destroyed by this sudden war, and now Huangsha County is in turmoil, like the duckweed in the water, which may overturn at any time, which can be said to be against the original will of the imperial court, but behind this there is also Gu Cang's consideration, and today's events are all expected by them yesterday.

Gu Cang's means are so simple, boiling frogs in warm water, the enemy does not perish in silence, he has to explode in silence, Xu Jintang really has no choice.

His anti-heart is not only the legacy caused by the ancestors of the Xu family standing too high, but it can also be said to be forced out by force, or maybe the difficulty of being a courtier is here, and those suspicions from above are inevitable.

It's just that this person can endure it, and he is good at forbearance, and he has lofty ambitions, and what he thinks about is the whole world, so all along, he has been disgusting with his Huangsha County with a wave of his hand, just like a fly, but he has always let it go, even if he has rebelled semi-openly after that, he still hasn't wasted his energy on Huangsha County.

He is a smart man who knows when to hold back his temper.

However, his decision has caused chaos within Youzhou now.

In a peaceful and prosperous world, you want to lead us to rebel and send us to death, so you have to have a reason, even if it's a deception?

The family of the three places can shout the slogan of "the world has been bitter and cold for a long time", but he Xu Jintang will be much more troublesome, after all, most of the people who participated in the rebellion in the three places are inextricably linked with the families of the three places themselves.

But Xu Jintang is different, although Youzhou is secretly said to be the Xu family, but on the surface, it is still from the Liang country, and the Daliang court has never deducted Youzhou, not to mention anything else, the food and salary of the Youzhou army, isn't it all given by the imperial court, so even if General Zuo has died, General Right is completely closed, even if there is no leader, and the whole army has been purged by Xu Jintang, but the Youzhou army is still not so easy to master.

Soldiers, the most rebellious and loyal, have the simplest things in their minds, but it is the most difficult to conquer them.

There are actually many people who are secretly dissatisfied with Xu Jintang, but because they are too far away from each other, and their entry and exit are restricted, it is difficult to communicate with each other, so it is not easy to cause trouble openly, but even this spark is enough to drag most of Xu Jintang's attention.

Of course, Xu Jintang is not stupid, he never said that he wanted to rebel, but just told the people in Youzhou, saying that the prince is now in charge of the country, mediocre and incompetent, and it is a mess for the ancestors to call.

He was arrogant, extravagant and wasteful, since he was a child, he never understood the suffering of the people, only cared about deducting the people, looting the people's fat and ointment, but in vain he cared about the country, he just wanted to eat fresh sea fish, he even forcibly conscripted millions of people to build a canal for himself, for his own selfish desires, built a luxurious palace, and even captured tens of thousands of young girls to serve in his palace, even many beautiful women did not let go, how many poor people were separated from their wives because of this, and their families were ruined, but he did not know how to restrain them, but they became more and more inflated, and even wanted to embezzle Yanzhou's military salary to build Beppu in the suburbs。

Because of this, this eventually led to turmoil in the three places, the loss of Yanzhou, and the loss of the country, how sad!

He didn't listen to the opinions of the ministers, but killed a lot of people who opposed him, insisted on going his own way, and was extremely brutal, but the emperor still let it go, thinking that with the emperor's wisdom, it would never be like this, and it must be coerced by the palace, which led to the collapse of the national fortunes, and the country fell into the danger of annihilation, and the four generations of loyal ministers of their Xu family should immediately wave the capital at this moment, lead the army to the king, capture the prince who has gone crazy, rescue the imprisoned emperor, rectify the court, and then go to Liangzhou to expel the foreign Yi, and return the people of Daliang to a peaceful and stable peaceful and prosperous world。

The words are beautiful, after all, Xu Jintang's staff members are good at pen and knife There are also a lot of staff, they brainstormed, Zen essence, and wrote this article that was impassioned, very inflammatory, the content was reversed black and white, and the disaster of the country was trumpeted that the royal family had a monster, and now it was time for them to contribute to the Youzhou army and purge the Qing Dynasty, those ordinary, unaware soldiers, but they were really captured, otherwise he would not have mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops Chen Bing Liangzhou.

Anyway, Xu Jintang thought very simply, wait first, wait for the final foundation of Liangguo to fight with the Weijin coalition army, and after both defeats, he will directly take the capital, as long as he holds the military power, after entering the city, it is not what he wants.

At that time, whether it is a very popular minister, stay until later and then find an opportunity to practice the way of "Zen concession", justifiably replace it, or directly stab a knife through it, and risk the world's disapproval to kill the Gu royal family, you can, anyway, no matter what he does, at least he can get the support of the wealthy family, so why is he not happy?

In short, because the civil strife in Youzhou has not yet been completely stabilized, Lu Dengyun went to Hedong County, but it was smooth at the beginning, and he entered the territory step by step, sending a group of spies step by step, while cruising and exploring the way, while moving towards the predetermined direction.

Lu Dengyun left, and the other three roads were arranged, and as the people who answered him, they all set off in turn, and for a while, Huangsha County seemed a lot empty.

In the main room, Gu Xuan, Lu Yi, and Lan Yunxuan stood on the edge of the well-built sand table, still discussing.

You must know that although Huangsha County has arranged a lot of tasks, until now, there are actually 20,000 people left who have not moved.

It was Lu Yi who spoke first: "Attacking the supply line and burning down the granary are just expedient measures, and it can even be said that they only take away some of the firewood, but they add another fire, and in a short period of time, it will exacerbate the deterioration of the situation." ”

This is the truth, the supply line in Yanzhou was made impossible by Cao Yan, and the Weijin coalition army saw this situation, and would only start in advance, although the confidence was less, and this battle could not be avoided, but the difference between one day later and one day earlier is that the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, in short, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

And once the grain and grass warehouse in Hedong County is burned down, Xu Jintang does not say whether he will be angry with Huangsha County because of this, and first leads people to move this place to level, and more importantly, he can't afford to drag it out, Liangzhou has already cut off his grain and grass supply, and now it has been burned partially, then he must enter Liangzhou as soon as possible and collect grain subsidies from all provinces and counties, so Huangsha County's move is actually adding fuel to the fire.

There is no way, this is because they have too few troops in their hands, and they can't affect the trend of the entire battle situation from the front, so they can only take risks, if Gu Xuan has 100,000 soldiers in his hands, it will be simple, and directly copying the Wei Jin coalition army from the back is enough for them to drink a pot.

Lan Yunxuan nodded lightly and said, "What Mr. Lu said is true, but sooner or later it will be fought, and it is better to fight sooner than later." ”

In his opinion, there is no difference between the outbreak of illness and the outbreak of sequential outbreaks, those who can resist it, those who can resist it, those who can't resist it, and finally one death, is no different, because he originally joined the army in the Tiger Army, and he only looked at the problem from the perspective of the war itself.

Rather than letting the other party have a little more time and be more prepared, it is better to take advantage of his own preparation and force the other party to act hastily as soon as possible, the odds of winning are greater, but Lu Yi looks at the overall situation and feels that it may be better to solve the problem step by step, and it is inevitable that there will be a lack of strength.

Gu Xuan stretched out his hand and pressed it, and said: "The words of the two of you are reasonable, but in short, do your best and obey the destiny of heaven, as the prince of Da Liang, there are some things that cannot be avoided, since the two countries of Wei and Jin are coming, killing my Da Liang Erlang and occupying my Da Liang land, I can't do anything else, but I can also make them feel bad." ”

What is the desert?

This is an enclave of great strategic value, especially for the Liang Kingdom, because once it is conquered, it is equivalent to having a way to go directly to the rear of the Wei Kingdom and go straight to the Yellow Dragon, and now, it is time to activate it.

Lan Yunxuan's interest was also aroused.

"What the prince said is exactly like this, the two countries of Wei and Jin have already colluded with Xu Jintang, a traitor, and are sure that the rear supply line is safe, so they dare to come out of the nest, but they didn't think that the prince and Mr. Lu made a move, and they took down the Rakshasa clan so quickly without a single soldier, and now that their rear is empty, it is time for us to make meritorious contributions. ”

This credit is good or difficult.

Well, of course, you don't have to face the greatest pressure from the enemy on the front line, and once you succeed, it will be a work of destroying the country!

Why is the Xu family so powerful, isn't it because their ancestors have the merit of destroying the country, thinking that Chang Dingfang annihilated millions of enemies in one battle, and had to be favored by the first emperor, it is just a generation of marquis, and the Xu family is glorious for all generations, and it also holds the real power of Youzhou, the gap between them is really the difference between cloud and mud, and it can be seen how big the work of destroying the country is.

It's hard and difficult, not to mention that now that the news has been transmitted back to the country, no matter how few people are left in the country, they should be on guard, let's just say that they go deep into the hinterland of the enemy, if they don't have that background, don't think about the supply support in the rear, plus because they are not familiar with the terrain, once there is any mistake in decision-making, it is easy to wipe out the whole army, and then it will be killed.

Lu Yi turned his head and said, "Then according to the prince's opinion, what should I do?"

Gu Xuan said concisely: "I want to personally lead 10,000 soldiers and horses across the desert to defend the country!"

Lan Yunxuan immediately stretched out his hand to stop him: "No, never! The prince is a daughter, how can he risk his life? The so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, not to mention that the people in this city can at least allocate another 10,000 calls, why do you need to take risks?"

Gu Xuan said helplessly: "What Mr. said is reasonable, but look at it again, is there a more suitable person in this city than me?"

This is also the truth, almost all of the people in the city who can lead troops to fight have been sent out, and those who stay in the city are nothing more than a Jinglong, although Morobeti is good, but he has no experience, if he is allowed to take people to defend the country and make trouble, the probability of success is not large, once the loss is too great, it will also make Huangsha County appear very passive.

As for Lu Yi and Lan Yunxuan's tacit understanding not to mention Jinglong, it was also considered.

Jinglong is only a general, not a handsome talent, if he has this ability, he can lead people into the imperial capital, and he will not be forced by His Majesty the Emperor to stay by his side to be a guard with a sword in front of the emperor, how can he not let him lead the army.

After thinking about it, it seems that only this little prince can be alone.

Lu Yi said: "This credit should belong to the prince, but just go like this, the minister is not at ease, in the opinion of the minister, it is the most suitable to bring 20,000 horses and horses, and Mr. Lan will accompany the army!"
