Chapter 181: Guncheng
The southeast of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the city of Gon.
This is a super city, originally this city and the nearby camp garrisoned 500,000 troops, which was an important stronghold to resist the Western Jin Dynasty. However, because the Great Zhou and the Western Jin Dynasty secretly reached an agreement, most of the troops here were withdrawn, and only 100,000 troops remained.
There was a general here before, but now the general has also been transferred, and only one general Liu Yu remains, and the 100,000 army is here for show. If the Western Jin Dynasty really wanted to attack, the 100,000 troops would not be able to hold out for long if they held the city.
The Great Zhou and North Vietnam were fighting hotly, but Liu Yu had nothing to do here every day. The army here is all veterans, and there is no need to train soldiers, and there is no need for him to investigate in terms of intelligence, so he has nothing to do except eat, drink and have fun all day long. Of course, in the recent war between the Great Zhou and North Vietnam, he didn't dare to be too ostentatious, and he was very low-key every day.
Tonight, Liu Yu drove lightly, dressed up in disguise, and went to the largest theater garden in the city to listen to the play. His real intention was not to listen to the play, but to be fascinated by a Hua Dan who has been very popular here recently.
However, he is quite reasonable, and he did not directly use his power to force people to rob, and Da Zhou is also relatively strict in this regard. So he came over to listen to the play in a low-key manner every day, and then smashed it with a lot of money, so that this Hua Dan would drink with him every day, and wanted to take it slowly.
The play is a good play, the very popular Zhou opera in Da Zhou, this is also a good book, it tells the story of a folk hero and a rich lady in Da Zhou, and the singing is also excellent, especially this Hua Dan's interpretation of the rich lady, the style in her eyebrows and eyes makes Liu Yu's heart ripple.
Liu Yu was half drunk, the play was finished, and Liu Yu was about to ask someone to invite Hua Dan. At this time, a captain came outside, his face was a little anxious, he walked to Liu Yu's side and said in a low voice: "General, urgent military situation, there is a mysterious army in the southeast, the number is at least two or three hundred thousand, and the specific situation of this army has not yet been discovered." ”
"What?"
Liu Yu's wine was relieved at once, although he was lustful, he did not dare to be sloppy in military affairs, the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty were strict, and things were done well, so it was easy to say anything. If something big happens because of dereliction of duty, then his whole family's heads will not be enough to cut off.
There are only 100,000 troops in the city, but now there are 200,000 or 300,000 troops entering the city, this is not a joke, if the city is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable. He hurried back to the City Lord's Mansion and mobilized a large number of scouts to investigate the situation of that army, and at the same time reported the situation as soon as possible.
It is impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to come out of thin air, and the situation of this army was found out in the afternoon of the next day, it was the army of Southern Chu that attacked Eastern Qi. After getting the news, Liu Yu not only did not panic, but was happy.
The commander of this army is really a madman, even if he makes trouble in the hinterland of Eastern Qi, he still dares to run to the hinterland of the Great Zhou? Does this army want to go to heaven but can't succeed? Do you really think that they are an invincible iron army, which can fight from west to east and from south to north?
In the past hundred years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been at its peak, the soldiers are strong, and only the Great Zhou Dynasty has fought the rest of the dynasties, and there has never been an active invasion of the armies of the other dynasties. So Liu Yu felt very funny, these hundreds of thousands of troops are definitely not here to send them to death?
Although there is no army in the southeast of the Great Zhou, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the central part of the Great Zhou, and there are also hundreds of thousands of troops in the south, which can be mobilized at any time to encircle and suppress. The most important thing is that Nan Chu and Dong Qi lost both sides this time, and Nan Chu dared to go to war with Da Zhou?
Although there were only 100,000 troops in Guncheng, Liu Yu did not panic at all. These 300,000 troops are all cavalry, there are no siege equipment, Gon City is not an ordinary city, here ordinary soldiers can never climb up without siege equipment, unless the great master. But there are also a lot of grandmasters here in Guncheng, and he has already reported it, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the nearby grandmasters will gather here.
Li Yunyi's army was very fast, and it only took more than two days to approach the city. And they came straight to the city of Gon, as if they were going to take the city?
On this day, an envoy from the Eastern Qi side arrived at the city of Gon with several guards and a flying beast. When the Emperor of Eastern Qi learned that Li Yunyi's army had entered the Great Zhou, he was furious and wanted Zhang Fengming to continue the pursuit with the army, and at the same time asked the Great Zhou Dynasty to send troops to kill the 300,000 troops.
This letter of state is stamped with a gold seal, and the envoy is also a first-class military marquis, he did not go to the capital of the Great Zhou, but came to Gongcheng, hoping that Liu Yu's side could allow Zhang Fengming's army to pursue. After all, there was no army in the southeast of the Great Zhou, and the Eastern Qi was afraid that the 300,000 troops would return to Southern Chu in a circle.
In the big battle between Eastern Qi and Southern Chu, Southern Chu's losses seemed to be greater, but in fact, both sides were defeated, and Eastern Qi lost a lot of face. After planning for so long and dispatching so many troops, it was not easy to break through the defense line of Southern Chu. didn't expect to fall short in the end, and was killed in the abdomen by an army, almost hitting Qi Jing.
Of course, hitting Qi Jing is a joke, Li Yunyi and they are still some distance away from Qi Jing.
But the 300,000 troops led by Li Yunyi changed the situation on the battlefield, that's for sure. Without these 300,000 troops attacking the city all the way, the morale of the army on the front line of the Eastern Qi Dynasty would not be unstable, and there would be no problems with military rations. Ye Xiangfo didn't have a chance to set up such a big game, and the huge Eastern Qi let an army of 300,000 enter the hinterland, and he was helpless.
These 300,000 troops slaughtered in it for a while, destroyed many cities, killed many troops, killed many civilians, and now they are patting their butts and going home. How can Dongqi endure this breath? Do you want Dongqi to save face?
Now it is too difficult to counterattack back, and the morale of the army on the side of Eastern Qi has suffered a huge blow, and Eastern Qi can only defend. Ye Xiangfo is also like a big mountain, which makes the generals on the side of Dongqi feel invincible, so if Dongqi wants to regain some face, he can only find a way to take down Li Yunyi's 300,000 troops.
Originally, it was all planned, Qi Jing sent some great masters, and Bailiyuan secretly mobilized some grandmasters, ready to use strong force to raid and kill the commanders and generals here in battle, but he didn't expect Li Yunyi to break through to the west and south, but chose to go north and enter the territory of the Great Zhou......
After Liu Yu carefully read the national letter, he groaned.
He is just a general, not a general, and his position of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty is not too high. He is not qualified to call the shots in such a big matter, but Nanchu has 300,000 troops, as well as a group of masters such as Feng Wuchen, what if the city of Gong is lost? It is a good thing for him to send troops from the Eastern Qi side, at least to ensure that the 300,000 troops of Southern Chu will not dare to attack the city.
It's just that he didn't have the authority to agree to the request of the Eastern Qi army to enter the country, so he muttered for a while and asked this ambassador to go to the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom. He vaguely expressed another meaning, the Eastern Qi army can come in by itself, but the Great Zhou court does not agree to withdraw again. He only has 100,000 troops on his side, and when the Eastern Qi army comes in, he can't help it, and he can't manage it if he wants to, isn't it?
The envoy of Eastern Qi understands the meaning!
He sent someone to summon Zhang Fengming on the border, and he himself rode a flying beast to the national capital of the Great Zhou.
Half a day after the envoy left, Li Yunyi's army approached the city, but did not attack the city. Instead, a messenger was sent with a letter.
The letter was sprinkled with hundreds of words, and it can be summed up in one meaning - they did not intend to offend Da Zhou Tianwei, but one of the favorite concubines of King Jiao Guoju disappeared, and they suspected that this concubine had been kidnapped by a killer organization of Da Zhou, and they tracked it all the way and found a clear clue.
Now they ask the Great Zhou Dynasty for help and cooperation, help to kill this killer organization, find the concubines of King Ju, as long as they find them, they will immediately withdraw their troops, and never touch a single grass or tree of the Great Zhou.
After Liu Yu got the letter, three invisible black lines appeared on his forehead. I feel that my IQ has been insulted, and I also feel that I have been greatly provoked!
Obviously they were chased and killed by the Eastern Qi army and had no way to enter the Great Zhou, but what did they say about the disappearance of King Ju's concubine? This is serious nonsense.
Jiao Guo is a country with a big palm, what is it in front of Da Zhou? King Ju is not even a fart. His concubine is missing, so he dares to gather 300,000 troops to fight into the Great Zhou?
If it weren't for the small number of soldiers in the city, Liu Yu would have led the troops out directly, when would the armies of several vassal states dare to bully the Great Zhou Dynasty like this?
Liu Yu ignored it, and after waiting for an hour, Li Yunyi sent a letter again. It means that if the Great Zhou Dynasty does not cooperate, they can only search on their own, and if some unnecessary losses are caused because of the search, then they are not to blame.
After delivering the letter, Li Yunyi marched to the west with an army of 300,000 troops, and when he passed by a small nearby city, the army swept away all the grain, grass, meat, and food in the city like locusts, and thousands of troops in the city were also slaughtered.
After Liu Yu got the news, he was furious, but he didn't send troops to chase him. But he sent someone to the royal capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty for the first time, and the entry of the Southern Chu army was a major event, but now he dared to attack the city of the Great Zhou Dynasty and slaughter 5,000 troops and 3,000 civilians, which is the most important of the great things.
Of course, Liu Yu also sent these two letters, after all, they were sent by Li Yunyi, and he didn't dare to hide them and not report them.
Li Yunyi and they swept away to the west, and the news reached Shangjing, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in just one day, and Shangjing was in an uproar, and then the news spread rapidly, and it spread throughout Southern Chu and Western Jin in just a day or two, and Eastern Qi naturally received the news.
Half of his body was paralyzed, his bones were very weak, and he was in a coma for half a day. After he received the news, he didn't take a breath and passed out.
He woke up half an hour after the imperial doctor's treatment, and the first thing he said after waking up was to scold, and sent an order for Chu Yuge to let this army return to China immediately.
Finally, the war with the Eastern Qi was about to be pacified, and the cavalry composed of the army of this vassal state actually went to the Great Zhou. Do they think he has lived too long and want to be angry with him?
