Section 56 Asking price
"I'm afraid it's a little too late, Fuli is just a little bit away from Xuzhou, as long as Shang Yunxi plays hard, a day and two nights of rapid marching, you can rush to Xuzhou, we don't have cavalry, we can't catch up." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mei Guo shook his head: "But if you can't catch up, you have to go, the king also has arrangements in Xuzhou, and there is more hope for more strength." ”
Qin Han's eyes lit up, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and marched into Xuzhou, which will be the most important battle of Huaiyou at the moment, as long as he enters Xuzhou City, no one can take Xuzhou from Huaiyou, and as long as he takes Xuzhou, Sihai and Erzhou will not be able to run away.
"Then ...... of us?" Qin Han said in a deep voice.
"Well, Fu Li here let Chunlai hold on, and we will take the right first army and the right second army to march to Xuzhou!"
Fu Li must be guarded, this is the key to the south of Xuzhou, and it is also the passage for the Huaiyou army to go north in the future.
It's just a pity that so many well-arranged defense facilities have not come in handy, which is a pity, but if there is anyone who doesn't open their eyes at this time and wants to give it a try, then they don't hesitate to dedicate it.
The Caizhou army has entered the territory of Xuzhou, and it is currently showing that it is advancing in the direction of Qixian, but if the Caizhou army knows about the situation here, I don't know what Yuan's leadership will think?
Will they continue to march towards Qixian, or will they turn around, or will they march directly into Xuzhou? Or will they just wait and see or even retreat?
Mei Guo guessed correctly, they really couldn't catch up.
In fact, the armies from the north, south, and west all understood that at this time, whoever advanced the city would have an absolute advantage, and the complicated situation in the city also made it impossible for them to enter the city.
Once in the city, it means fighting, which is brutal and extremely destructive.
At night, Lu Qiming kept urging the front army that was jogging in small steps, which was the Fifth Army of the Right Army of the Reform Army led by his brother Lu Qixiu, and it was also the most elite army he mastered.
The soldiers are a little tired, but they can already see the lights of Xuzhou City from afar, everyone's spirit has been lifted a lot, so many years, they have been stationed in Feng County, Pei County and Teng County, rarely have the opportunity to return to Xuzhou, and now they can finally enter Xuzhou openly.
Thinking of entering Xuzhou City, there are hot soup, Hu cakes, braised mutton, and roast chicken, whether it is a soldier or an officer, the mood is different.
"Big brother, you can already see Xuzhou City in front, and I have already sent someone to contact the guard of the north gate. Lu Qixiu was dressed in strong armor, with a broad-leaf heavy sword with a sword blade in his right hand that was three times that of an ordinary sword, and his killing intent was pressing, and he was holding a helmet in his left hand and riding a horse.
"Well, Qi Xiu, pay attention to precautions, there is still Shang Yunxi's army in Xuzhou City, it should be Guo Mingyu who is on his left arm and right arm leading the team, you have to be careful!"
Lu Qiming became more and more calm, although Shi Yu secretly ordered each other, if Shang Yunxi had bad intentions, he was afraid that he would think of preventing him from entering the city at this time, but Shi Yu still had two armies, it depended on whether Guo Mingyu dared to openly disobey.
The north gate of Pengcheng is controlled by the Shi Xuya Army, but with such a big movement, it is impossible for Guo Mingyu not to know, and now it depends on whether the defenders of the north gate can withstand Guo Mingyu's pressure.
Guo Mingyu almost jumped up from the chair when he got the news, and his grim gaze fell on the other party: "Where did you get this news from?"
"My lord, there is a certain neighbor in the palace of the Jiedu envoy, it is the Jiedu envoy to protect the adult, he inadvertently said that the situation in the city is not quiet, the Jiedu has the intention of transferring troops back to the city, saying that there has been an order to recall the garrison of the foreign city, but the specific recruit which soldiers to come back, but I don't know. ”
Guo Mingyu's face changed, he already knew about the ambush of the southbound army outside Fuli City, and the marshal had already sent someone to send the news back that night, and the marshal wanted to let himself control the situation in the city, he would soon lead the army back to Pengcheng, so he could not let the situation in the city change in two days.
He also felt that in just two days, how big of a moth could he produce? Jiedu made the Lord only have two armies, although they controlled the four gates of east, west, north and south, but their combat effectiveness was known to everyone.
As long as the marshal comes back, then Xuzhou City should be the marshal's final say.
"Immediately send someone to the east gate and north gate to check the situation, if there is any movement!" Realizing that the situation was wrong, Guo Mingyu decisively ordered, and he began to wear armor to prepare in case of accidents.
Soon the scouts sent back the news that there were abnormalities at both the north and east gates, and the tooth army was preparing for defense.
Guo Mingyu was taken aback, if Shi Yu recruited Lu Qiming and Yu Mingzhen back, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control the situation after the handsome return to the city, neither Yu Mingzhen nor Lu Qiming is easy to match, even if the strength is not as good as the handsome, but if the two of them stand on the side of the Jiedu envoy, the handsome will not dare to act rashly.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I ordered the whole army to stand by, and I personally led a battalion of troops to quickly go to the east gate to see what the situation was.
When Guo Mingyu clashed with an imposing tooth army on the east gate, Lu Qixiu's front had already arrived at the north gate.
With the lowering of the suspension bridge, Lu Qixiu found out that the Lord of Jiedu actually paid attention to it in person on the city gate tower.
While busy reporting to his brother, he saluted Shi Yu and reported back to his teacher at the same time.
I can feel that the mood is not very good, but it is still pleasant.
Lu Qiming also arrived quickly, and in this case, he did not dare to delay, while ordering all the troops to enter the city immediately, while accompanying Shi Yu to introduce the situation of his army.
"My lord, the situation in the north is very bad, Yanyun Erzhou has been in drought for a long time, even the ordinary gentry have begun to flee, and the ordinary people are scattering and fleeing, our Feng County and Pei County are under the greatest pressure, I heard that the number of Juye Ze water bandits has expanded several times in just a few months, Yuncheng, Shouchang, and Xuchang Zhucheng have been out of control, and Juye has become a paradise for water bandits, and even Zhu Mao's Taining army does not dare to go to Yunzhou, in fact, Yunzhou is already in a state of complete chaos, and the officials and officials of the county have run out. Daliang is also a little unbearable, I heard that Heze and along the Baigou line, water bandits are also quite rampant, it is estimated that it should be Juyeze water bandits infiltrated Caozhou. ”
Shi Yu sighed softly, lacking interest.
Of course, he knew the situation of the Taining Army, Zhu Mao's guy was purely a war maniac, he only thought about training troops to fight wars all day long, and he didn't bother to ask about the civil affairs of the states under his rule, except for collecting taxes and donating money, he wouldn't ask more, as long as he could provide enough money and food.
This situation has lasted for so many years, and the Taining army has survived, but this time he doesn't seem to be able to survive, and the drought for several years has completely destroyed the agricultural economy of the three prefectures of Yanyun and Yi, except for the situation around Juyeze in Yunzhou, which is slightly better, but due to the disrepair of the water conservancy irrigation canal for many years, except for the place near the lake and ditch, the rest of Yunzhou is also in dire straits.
However, Shi Yu feels that he seems to be not much better than Zhu Mao, the chaotic situation in Xuzhou is not only because of the famine brought about by the drought, but also because of the coveting of the strong neighbors around him, Caizhou, Daliang, Huaiyou, and Pinglu, one by one, one by one, and now the influx of displaced people has brought huge worries to Xuzhou, but it has become the best opportunity for these strong neighbors.
"Qiming, we can't manage Zhu Mao's side, just manage ourselves, now do you think the situation in Xuzhou is much better than that in Yanzhou?" Shi Yu was depressed, "Yunxi led the team south to fight Fuli, without a battle, my tooth army of 10,000 people is not much left, I don't understand how this battle was fought, Yunxi has no return, I don't know who to believe now." ”
Lu Qiming didn't know how to respond to Shi Xu's words for a while, he felt that these words should also be a temptation for Shi Xu.
Shi Yu can condescend to the city gate to greet him in person, which is a gesture in itself, and saying these words also proves that he has lost confidence in the current situation, maybe what he is asking for is a better result for him personally or his family?
"My lord, you are a little pessimistic, but my lord, what do you think yourself?" Lu Qiming said softly: "I mean, do you think that we are afraid of ...... in Xuzhou?"
Lu Qiming didn't say anything, but Shi Yu answered very calmly: "Is it difficult to keep it anymore?" Or maybe I'm afraid I won't be able to serve as a festival envoy for a few days?"
Lu Qiming shook his head, his face changed, and he sighed.
"It's not a topic that can't be mentioned, even my guards are wondering where they should go in the future, do you think I'm still up to it?"
Shi Yu's face slowly became gloomy, he also knew that he might not be able to do it for a long time, and he didn't want his own festival envoy to be succeeded by his original soldiers, which would be a humiliation to himself, and these people may not be willing to let him take away his family's assets, so he must choose carefully.
He still doesn't know who these military leaders are going to, but he believes that since Lu Qiming agreed to his arrangement to go south, and almost poured out of the nest to go south, it means that Lu Qiming has also made a decision, which may be a good thing for himself.
Shang Yunxi is returning to the division, and he will enter the city tomorrow at the latest, and the Great Liang Army has already passed Xiao County, and only when he achieves a balance is it most beneficial for himself, and his own interests can be guaranteed, which is very clear to Shi Yu.
"What do you think?" Lu Qiming's heart thumped violently, but once he came, he was safe, and he always had to face it.
If you want to have a greater say in the Huaiyou system in the future, you have to take risks, Yu Mingzhen suddenly went north to Yizhou, many people don't know what to do, but Lu Qiming saw the other party's cleverness, this is already the layout of the future Huaiyou into Xuzhou, maybe this is Huaiyou's arrangement?
