In the guest hall of the Chinese and foreign mansions, Yu Wentai and Yu Jin sat opposite each other, and there were no other people in the hall except for a few male and female waiters next to them.

On the table in front of the two of them was a map of Jingxiang, and several eye-catching signs on the map were the locations of Qicheng, Xiangyang and Jiangling, especially the locations representing Jiangling were highlighted with a red pen.

"In the matter of Jiangling, there is still to be Lao Taibao."

Yu Wentai stared at the map for a long time, and then looked up at Yu Jin and said in a deep voice. Yuan Xin, the former Taifu Guangling Wang, died of illness a month ago, and Li Bi was promoted from the Taibao to the Taifu due to the expulsion of the invading Rouran people by the unified army not long ago, and Yu Jin was awarded the Taibao.

Yu Jin did not respond to this matter immediately after hearing this, but spoke again after a moment of silence: "Taiyuan Gong has a lot of intentions for this, and he has been operating for a long time, but when the matter comes, he is transferred to another member, and it must be difficult to accept it calmly for a while. If you obstruct it, it will be especially disturbing! ”

He knew what this appointment meant, and if he was going to take over, then Li Tai and the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion were a problem he couldn't get around. So before he officially took over, he also had to find out where the scale of this matter was here in Yuwentai.

After hearing this, Yu Wentai also sighed: "Yes, people say that military and political affairs are decided in the Chinese and foreign governments, but now that they are planning to destroy other countries, they still need to think deeply about what Fang Zhen wants, isn't it strange?" ”

He sighed first, and then looked at Yu Jin and said: "Taibao has been friends and worked with me for many years, and I should know that I am by no means a person with a withdrawn and mean temperament, who is completely intolerant of others. If I really have this intention, how can the people of the world know who Li Boshan is? ”

Speaking of this, Yu Wentai still felt a little embarrassed, and after a pause, he said again: "But this disciple's talent is too strange, and it has already made people have to be vigilant. Taibao and I have both achieved fame, and we can be brave and brave to be the first, but there are always children under my door that people have to worry about.

Li Boshan's meritorious reputation is already the most among the young disciples, if it is not suppressed, then from now on, there will only be one person in the world, and I am afraid that there will be no room for a few children to be in power. We and others were determined to reward the royal family together, in order to share the glory of the country, but not to show someone alone. Li Boshan was walking too fast, and he should have stopped and waited for his peers and friends.

The Taibao may think that I am a little narrow-minded in this way, but Li Boshan deserves to be there today. Although this is the case, it still makes people secretly knot after all. I know Da Sima Zongjiao, which can be described as a world friend, but now Da Sima Yan and Li Boshan will be called a good son-in-law, and there is no surplus, and it is indeed sad to see my clumsy son become the last in people's words. ”

was originally to discuss national affairs, but Yuwentai was involved in the parents, and even Dugu Xin's different attitudes towards his sons-in-law had to be told about it, which was indeed a loss of his identity. And the more this is the case, the more it shows that his reason for sanctioning Li Tai is untenable.

But many things often only look at the pros and cons and do not look at the rights and wrongs, no matter how many reasons and excuses, the fact is that Li Tai has grown so strong that the personnel situation that Yuwentai has worked hard for many years cannot tolerate.

When people's concepts change, their views on people and things will also change, and now Yuwentai has begun to face up to the threat posed by Li Tai, and some of his past words and deeds have also been re-examined.

"At the beginning of the year, there was something in the country, and I had no intention of being famous, but Li Boshan took advantage of this to raise things and connect the masses. Now that he thinks about it, he is indeed out of proportion, and his mind is afraid that it is not pure. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Wentai sighed again and said: "This disciple is far-sighted, but in fact, he has already revealed his clues. At the beginning of the old year, he entered the Tongguan Pass, that is, he entered the palace according to a number of benefits, and the things discussed were slightly the same as the current situation. What I saw back then was only the rhetoric of a frivolous teenager, but now when I look at it again, it can't help but make people sigh at his far-reaching resourcefulness. Now in the southeast situation, it is difficult to say whether it was premeditated! ”

Yu Jin had been listening to Yuwentai's words silently, but when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning, could it be that the secret Dao master was worried about Li Boshan's Dao heart and lost his defense, and it was a bit too much to directly pull it to the battle of Pishan?

At that time, Li Boshan also participated in the war under his command, but he was just a somewhat reckless hairy boy, and it would be nonsense to say that he could make suggestions for the situation more than ten years later. What's more, most of the formation of the situation in the southeast now lies in Hou Jing's troubles with Nanliang after Hou Jing's southern crossing.

In short, Yuwentai's nagging, because I still have a little desire to add to the crime, why don't you excuse it, we are all old guys, I don't understand what you think in your heart? Don't talk about any reason to do psychological construction for yourself here, let's discuss what to do.

So he spoke again: "If it's just the favor of the people in Jingzhou, it's not enough to worry. But there are many people in the Guanzhong who have deep exchanges with the Duke of Taiyuan, and this situation has to be investigated! ”

He was reminding Yu Wentai that Li Tai was not only busy serving as a son-in-law for your town soldiers, but also had close contacts with the Haoqiang clan in Guanzhong over the years. With the reform of the government military system, these powerful families have also become the backbone of the government soldiers, which is an absolutely non-negligible problem.

Speaking of this, Yuwentai also has a headache. At that time, I somehow agreed to the export of goods and goods in Guanzhong, and I only felt that it was very enjoyable to sit on the ground and take commissions, but after a little careful review of the relevant accounts, I found that the wealth and resources flowing from Guanzhong to Weibei in the past few years have been very terrifying. The hegemony is just a passing commission to make stable profits, and it is immeasurable how much benefit the large amount of wealth injected into the north has gained!

"In terms of military morale and human feelings, we need to rely on the CPIC to control and adjust in real time. In the middle of the journey, but the marching method, there is no other plan. Taibao is in charge of the army, I don't have to worry about it! What's more, now that there is no owner in the north and Jiangling is dim, everything is done at the same time, which is just right! ”

Speaking of this, Yu Wentai's mood was a little uplifted: "Although Li Boshan has far-reaching strategies, it is inevitable that he will have a strong temperament after all, and he will be contentious in everything, which is shorter than Taoguang's obscurity. This time to send troops to Hefei, it can be said that the next plan, since the land of the four wars, the hometown of military disasters, it is rare to want to defend calmly.

Now that I have attacked Jiangling, the generals of the Liang State who participated in the alliance will inevitably turn against me. And although the East Thief is clamoring for Heluo now, once he knows my Nantu, he is afraid that I will become bigger, and he will definitely send troops to help. At that time, Hefei is about to rush, to stay in a dilemma, it is not difficult to defend the city with Li Boshan but the enemy should be the enemy, but if you want to take into account both inside and outside, it is inevitable to miscalculate. ”

Although on the surface, Yuwentai was persuaded by Yuwenhu and others to decide to attack Li Tai, but in fact, he is not stupid and can't look at things now, how can some thoughts not exist in his heart. Before, it was just that the time had not arrived, it was unnecessary, or there was no suitable entry point, and if there was a suitable opportunity, of course he would not have left his hands.

Yuwenwu also thought that he could use this to force him into Heluo to guard against Northern Qi, but Yuwentai knew that once the Western Wei used troops against Jiangling, then Hefei, where Li Tai is now, would become the focus of the war, and there would be no chance to go to Heluo at all, and the so-called Guandong Dao Daxingtai was just a fictitious one!

Yu Jin also sighed secretly after hearing this, Li Boshan's move to Hefei was indeed a little unwise and too arrogant. At least if he stays in the north of the town, even if the Chinese and foreign governments are jealous of him, they will never dare to act like they do today. But now the army went straight out, leaving an empty north of the country, overestimating its own energy, and underestimating the wariness of the Chinese and foreign governments.

After all, Li Boshan is still inexperienced. When he was at the age when he had established a certain order in both the east and the west, and had not personally experienced the rebellion of the Six Towns, when these town soldiers did everything for the sake of power, which one of them could not be insidious and cunning?

One moment is still happy, and the next moment they draw their swords against each other, which is already a normal operation in troubled times.

In order to get closer to each other before, Yuwentai even made the matter of recognizing Duguxin's daughter as his adopted daughter, which shows that normal interpersonal interaction and official titles are no longer enough to coordinate each other, and Li Boshan should be vigilant. But he still relied on his strength to start wars and cause trouble, and he was inevitably victimized by this after all.

He sighed with emotion here, and Yu Wentai said again: "Although the matter is done by others, the accumulated work of Li Boshan's past events cannot be ignored. His wife is still my adopted daughter, and I have heard that she is pregnant, and when the soldiers triumph, I will honor her wife and children, and praise her merits! ”

These words are implying that Yu Jin wants to control Li Boshan's wife and children as hostages, plus his relatives in Guanzhong, if Li Boshan dares to have different intentions, I am afraid that he will inevitably end up like his benevolent father-in-law and victory!

Next, the two discussed the expedition personnel and finally determined a list of expeditions. Yu Jin is naturally the commander of this army conquest, but in the name of Xingtai, it is impossible for Yuwentai to give it to any pillar country.

Since Yu Jin, there are Hou Mo Chen Shun, Yang Zhong, Wei Xiaokuan, Wei Chi Hui and other generals, and then a series of Kaifu and Yitong generals of the government, with a total of 50,000 troops, plus 10,000 horses such as Yuwen Hu and Li Mu, who set off as the vanguard before, a total of 60,000 troops participated in this battle.

It is very understandable that Hou Mo Chen Shun and Wei Chi Hui were sent on the expedition, and there is nothing to say. As for Yang Zhong and Wei Xiaokuan, Yu Wentai and Yu Jin have been planning for a long time. Both of these people have a close relationship with Dugu Xin, and now that the army is not only going to Gangneung, but also shouldering a mission to relieve Li Tai of military and political power, they have to be more cautious.

Yang Zhong himself was both wise and brave, and he was also responsible for the conquest of Handong in the old years, and he knew more about the personnel of the Southern Liang and was quite prestigious, and when Li Tai and the generals of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion were marginalized and ostracized, he was one of the few options for the overlord.

"Yang Zhong is a person who is dedicated to things but not to people, even Da Sima can't be a slave, and he won't bend to the town."

After weighing it, Yuwentai decided to send Yang Zhong on the expedition. Yang Zhong's personality is good to be upright, and bad is cold, although he has a good personal relationship with his late owner Duguxin, but there are few political alliances and interactions, and he has always maintained a cautious attitude.

As for Wei Xiaokuan, it is even more of an inevitable option. This expedition to Jiangling is a battle to destroy the country, as a representative of the powerful generals in Guanzhong, if Wei Xiaokuan goes out with the army, even if he does not arrange any important tasks and has any outstanding performance, it will have a certain effect on boosting the morale of the soldiers in Guanzhong.

Just as the Chinese and foreign governments were dispatching troops and sending troops to the expedition, Li Tai, who was far away in Hefei, was also estimating the time, packing up and preparing to leave the west.

Although Hefei was occupied for a short time, the progress of the clean-up and management was very good, and the people from all sides poured here, and even the autumn harvest was completed in an orderly manner. It doesn't make much sense for Li Tai to stay here any longer, it's important to go back and get down to business.

Before leaving, of course, Quan Jingxuan had to ask for precautions in person, and Li Tai didn't talk too much about the details, after all, he trusted Quan Jingxuan, so he chose him to guard Hefei, just to make a little mention and foreshadowing for the next drastic changes in the situation.

"Although I am good friends with Liang Guo today, this state will not last long. The country is bound to win Gangneung, and once the army is raised, it will be broken. Fortunately, Liyang is still in the hands of the Qi army, and it is difficult for the Liang army to advance by land and water even if it comes to pick it up. At present, the water is exhausted at the end of autumn, and it is difficult for the Xukou Boat Division to advance directly, as long as the Dongguan is not lost, the Liang army is not worried. ”

After explaining the problems that need to be paid attention to in the Southern Liang, Li Taixuan continued to talk about the Northern Qi: "Fang is under the Three Kingdoms today, and I have cut down the Liang, and the Qi people should come to the rescue, and Hefei will inevitably bear the brunt of the attack at that time." But this is just a common sense theory that is divorced from reality, and the fact is that the Qi people have lost the important towns of Huainan one after another, and they have lost the qualification to advance and retreat calmly.

Moreover, the Southern Liang monarchs and ministers were not in harmony, and Chen Baxian and others frequently attacked the cities of Qi State, and it was difficult to turn into a union for a while. The Qi lord is short-sighted and has not won much, and he will not be in a hurry to attack me at that time, but will be greedy for Guangling, or he will beg for a situation where I can get Xifu and build a healthy situation. Therefore, the disturbance on the part of the Qi people is bound to be small, and it is enough to concentrate on guarding the city and waiting for changes. ”

Different from Yu Wentai and Yu Jin's judgment on the direction of the situation in Huainan, Li Tai has his own opinions, or plans, if he is just trying to Hefei, he does not have to unite with Chen Baxian. Lu, who is only understood by Lu in this world, since Gao Huan's death, Yuwentai understands the hearts of a fart again, and he can't even grasp Li Tai, a henchman who grew up under his hands.

As for Gao Yang, the lord of Qi, there is no need to be bluffed by the name of his hero Son of Heaven, relying on the inheritance of his father and brother, if he is reckless, he will be awesome, and if he can't be reckless, he will be numb, and what he can see and what he can catch is all his strategies, and the implementation of the strategy with too much space span is still a little difficult for him.

Compared with the death of Hefei and then the rescue of Jiangling, there is no doubt that Guangling, which is close at hand, is more tempting to it. Where am I worse than a black otter? He won Gangneung, but I can't win Jiankang?

Compared with the generation of town soldiers who are grandsons first and then masters, and are full of tenacity, the second generation is mainly irritable, the table can be lifted, and they play chess with you step by step!

After explaining the affairs of Hefei, Li Tai led his troops to leave here. This time, he did not withdraw along the road he came from, but went south from Hefei and westward along the river.

——————

The Chinese and foreign governments also moved extremely quickly in this expedition, from the gathering of men and horses to the departure to the arrival in northern China, the time for unification was less than ten days, which also fully reflected the achievements of the government and military reform in the past years. Of course, with such a rapid speed of requisition and marching, that is, the grain and grass carried by the army must be insufficient, and it needs to rely on supplies along the way.

And when this army, which was several times larger than the previous Yuwen Protectorate, entered the northern part of the country, even the sluggish people noticed that something was wrong. And at this time, Yuwen Hu finally stopped hiding his intentions, and directly ordered those so-called Xingtai subordinates to prepare for the arrival of the army.

Compared with the other panicked people in the governor's office, Li Licheng, who took the lead in Yuwenhu, was much calmer, and showed more enthusiasm than before, taking the initiative to raise a part of the material supplies for the army, in order to welcome the arrival of the army.

Of course, Yuwen Wu will not refuse this, he came here first as a striker, and Li Licheng's good performance is equivalent to his good performance. Now it is Li Licheng who takes the initiative to ask for help, and he spends the money, food and materials of the local people in Jingzhou, but what he makes is the gratitude of the army for his own achievements and gains, why is he not happy?

So under the busyness of Li Licheng's Zhang Luo, a large number of wine and food materials were soon transported from the city. Of course, these materials are far from enough to meet the overall consumption of the army, but they are more than enough to reward the middle and high-ranking overseers.

Li Licheng also thoughtfully prepared the carriage and horses, and asked to send them to the army in person.

Yuwen Hu was also quite satisfied with his person's interesting performance, and even expressed his agreement. After all, he still has to stay here, and he is not worried about any conspiracy, such as poisoning. There are 50,000 elite soldiers, and if Li Licheng dares to make a difference in his diet, he can be beaten into minced meat by one person.

Li Licheng hurried to meet the army more than 30 miles away from the city, and sent the transported materials into the army, and then he was summoned by the lord to ask about the current situation in Jingzhou and the recent situation of Li Tai's army.

Li Licheng did not hide these things, and honestly explained everything that he should know, and then said with a smile: "Since the Duke of Zhongshan entered the town, he has been diligent in his work, and his humble rank has also been deeply moved. The masses were full of wine and food on this day, and after arriving in the city in the coming day, they also hoped to be grateful to the soldiers and people for their attentive food and not to let the soldiers disturb the people. ”

The passage of a large army has never been a good thing for the localities, and now that a full 50,000 troops have arrived directly in the north of the city without prior notice, there is no doubt that it will cause greater disturbance to the local people, so it is reasonable for the people of Jingzhou to have such worries.

Yu Jin did not doubt this, but then thought of the close relationship between Li Lichengzhi and Li Boshan, and now that he has been united in the united front, announcing this matter to the masses can also create an impression that Li Boshan's people have betrayed their relatives and left the general trend.

So he smiled and said: "Li Sima Laojun is also hard, today's Chinese army dinner, you will also stay here to meet the masses, so that they know who enjoys this benefit." ”

When Li Licheng heard this, he was also surprised, and bowed down again and again to thank him: "I don't dare to ask for my ears!" Thanks to Chang Shangong's appreciation, he must be more attentive to persuading the people to lose materials to help the army, and dare not slack off! ”

Yu Jin was already accustomed to this, but Yu Yi, who was accompanying his father on the expedition, saw Li Licheng's sycophantic appearance, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "I don't know if Li Sima made this statement before the Duke of Taiyuan left the town?" At that time, there were few people in Chang'an, but they were all very envious of Li Sima to have such a brave relative as Taiyuan Gong! ”

After Li Licheng heard this, the expression on his face suddenly stiffened, and after a while, he lowered his head and said: "Duke Changshan and Duke Taiyuan are both important ministers of the country, no matter who they belong to, it is an honor to be humble!" ”

In the evening, except for the generals who stayed in the camps, most of the other generals came to Yu Jin's Chinese army tent. Unlike in previous years, where there were military generals, most of them were full of people, but now there are many Guan Long heroes gathered here.

After an emergency march all the way, the generals were also a little unbearable, and at this time, seeing such a rich wine and food, they couldn't help but smile. And Li Licheng, as the person who provided all these ingredients, also enthusiastically walked between the banquets at this time, toasting and cutting meat, and doing everything. This sycophancy was seen by the generals who already knew a little about the inside story, and they couldn't help but look down on him.

Li Licheng didn't care about this, taking advantage of the good atmosphere in the tent, he walked directly into the open space in the middle of the seats, and after singing and dancing to attract everyone's attention, he waved at everyone again, and asked loudly: "May I ask the generals, is the wine and food rich and delicious today?" ”

After hearing this, everyone also applauded one after another, and some people even shouted half-truthfully: "Li Sima is also a landlord here, if the army is short of supplies on the day of the north and is not as good as today, we will not let you go!" ”

Li Licheng was not annoyed when he heard this, but continued to laugh and said: "This is a matter of humble duty, and the north has always been known for its wealth, if you can't even supply military supplies, I and the people of Qicheng will undoubtedly be guilty!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all applauded, but Li Licheng continued to smile and said: "It's just that when General Li of Taiyuan Gong left the town to go on the expedition, he had already swept away all the military resources in the northern treasury, do you know where the food today came from?" ”

After hearing this, everyone present looked stunned, and Yu Jin, who was sitting in the first place, frowned suddenly after hearing this, and even handed a look to the guards beside him, and let people take this somewhat dissolute Li Licheng down.

However, before the guards had time to step forward, Wei Xiaokuan, who was in the other seat, had already raised his hand and pointed at Li Licheng and said: "Li Lang is drunk, how can you make jokes about military aircraft!" ”

"Wei Gong is ungrateful, what face to reprimand me!"

Li Licheng heard Wei Xiaokuan's voice, but the smile on his face was sharply put away, and he smashed the wine glass in his hand at Wei Xiaokuan, and at the same time kicked over the food table in front of Wei Xiaokuan.

"Presumptuous, An dares to be rude to Wei Gong!"

Seeing this scene, the main generals in the tent, who already despised Li Licheng, immediately opened their mouths and reprimanded angrily.

And Wei Xiaokuan's face was also pale, and he stood up from the seat with his saber in his hand, and at the same time shouted at the guards who wanted to enter to control Li Licheng: "Don't move, let him speak!" Wei thinks that he is worthy of admiration, what bad deeds have made this disciple accuse me of being ungrateful! ”

It was about Wei Xiaokuan's reputation, since he said so, everyone naturally didn't want to say anything, even Yu Jin waved his hand to signal the guards who stepped forward to retreat.

"What's the bad deed? What face do you wait for the people from the south to dare to say this? Do you really think that what you do can deceive the world? In the case of Jiangling, the people of Jingzhou have worked hard and operated for several years, and the masses of the military government from Taiyuan Gong to the military government have all been waiting for the day, eager to create this achievement, but when the matter came to an end, they actually took trouble for the villain! ”

Li Licheng knew that he didn't have much time left for him, so he looked around at everyone angrily and scolded: "You think that the army is strong, but you don't know that the military resources of the northern treasury are not available. The food in today's banquet is all taken from the wealthy families inside and outside the city! Not just today's eclipse, tomorrow's eclipse ......"

"Shut up, don't let him say any more!"

When Yu Jin heard this, his face had changed greatly, and he was busy taking the case and ordered.

Wei Xiaokuan, who was closest to Li Licheng, immediately rushed forward, clamped Li Licheng's backarm under his armpit and said loudly: "The erector has to shake the heart of the army!" ”

"Hmph, since the Duke of Zhongshan entered the town, he has been arrogant and presumptuous, and he has repeatedly broken the law of Jingzhou! In order to protect the assets of the northern families, I have to break the flattery! Ladies and gentlemen, who are you waiting for who has no business in Chubei? If it weren't for Taiyuan Gongxing to govern this township, would you have to sit back and enjoy this benefit? It's not my flattering thing, and the private capital in the north has been invaded! In addition to Taiyuan Gong, who in the world is willing to protect your business? ”

Although Li Licheng was controlled, he still shouted loudly in a loud voice: "There are no military resources in the north of the country, but the treasury is abundant, and all the deposits are Guanzhong Township and civilian assets. Even if you don't go, the Taiyuan public office will not be able to lose a few years, and now Hefei has been acquired and Huainan is under control, and it can still be ruled elsewhere! And you and other Guanzhong villagers, but you have to lose this piece of beauty that is enough to prosper the family, greedy for a moment's work, a hundred years of business, rats and rats, short-sighted......"

"Shut up!"

Wei Xiaokuan heard Li Licheng's shouting becoming more and more presumptuous, hurriedly discarded the long knife in his hand and covered Li Licheng's mouth with his hands, and dragged him out of the tent.

When Wei Xiaokuan came back, he saw that there was already silence in the big tent, and everyone who had eaten a lot of food had no appetite at this time looking at the rich food on the table.

At present, the government soldiers are composed of Guan Longhao's right tribe, and who of these government soldiers and generals has no assets in the north? I thought that when I came to the rich land of the northern part of the country, I could happily play the autumn breeze, but I didn't want this people's fat and ointment to be blown off from them!

"May I ask Gong Wei, Li Xiaoxiang him...... Although his people have gaffes, but what they said is also, alas, the laws promulgated by the Duke of Taiyuan in the palace are always good, and we are all here for the king's affairs, so don't lose the harmony! ”

Seeing that Wei Xiaokuan was gone and returned, some governors were worried that he would be unfavorable to Li Licheng and completely offend the Duke of Taiyuan, so he hurriedly spoke. Although the others didn't say it, the meaning in their eyes was also very obvious.

When Wei Xiaokuan heard this, he said coldly: "This disciple is so arrogant that he is so arrogant that he can't give up anything in the world?" Could it be that before Taiyuan Gong entered the rule, the north was a wasteland, and the livelihood of the people in my Guanzhong had no livelihood......

Speaking of this, he spoke abruptly, and after coughing twice, he planned to go back to his seat and sit down, but when he saw the leftovers at the table, his face suddenly became even more ugly.

"The march is hard, so let's retreat. Li Xiao's subordinates in the state government and not in charge of the military aircraft are not in charge, how can it be discussed! Zhongshan Gong, uh, tomorrow will go to the city first, and the rest will be discussed later. ”

Yu Jin was also a little stunned at this time, he was really caught off guard by this blow, how could he have thought that he would be greeted by Yuwen Hu before he arrived in Yucheng, everything he said in the previous letter was under control, was it a dog barking?

He didn't want to investigate Li Licheng's crime in depth at the moment, so he should hurry to the city and learn about the actual situation in person, so that he would be at ease. If an army of 50,000 had problems with even the basic supply of food and grass, the result would be absolutely catastrophic!

"Still going to the city?"

"You don't have to go south to go through the city......"

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but mutter, although their tones were not determined and tough, but they also revealed their own intentions. If what Li Licheng said is true, then he may have to loot the inside and outside of the city to raise military supplies, even if they can each ensure that the military order is forbidden, will others do something to his family's business? That's a fart in the south, just coax and rob directly in the city, as long as you grab a lot quickly, you can recover your losses and even make money!

After Yu Jin heard this, his heart also sank sharply, compared with the fact that there was no guarantee of grain and grass, what was even more serious was that the army was in turmoil! Originally, Yuwentai was ordered to take charge of the army here because of his prestige and strategy, but as a result, the family business of these government soldiers and generals had already been kidnapped in the north of the province, and they were worried that the family business would be damaged, no matter how big his face was and how high his prestige was, it was difficult to compensate everyone as money!

He knew that the distracting thoughts in the hearts of the masses were flooding like a flood, and it was better to block it at the moment, and if it was not guided, I was afraid that more accidents would occur, so he said in a deep voice: "Now that the army is out of the customs, the great merit is in sight." Although I am awarded the title of the chief general of the army by His Majesty and King Yuwen, I dare not underestimate the wisdom of the people, and now that the army has arrived in the north of the city, Jiangling is already in sight, what do you have plans, you can speak freely. ”

In fact, the best strategy at the moment is to take advantage of the fact that the situation is still controllable, quickly lead the army back to Guanzhong, and then make adequate and thorough preparations. But this most rational approach is obviously unacceptable to Yuwentai, tens of thousands of troops went south, only to be frightened by a madman's wild words, neither to crusade against the enemy country, nor to solve Fang Zhen, undoubtedly became a big joke!

So at the moment, he can only let everyone give full play to their distracting ideas, and then try to choose a plan that can meet everyone's wishes for superficial implementation.

Yu Jin listened to the opinions of the generals, and at the same time thought in his heart, did Li Boshan have predicted today's situation, so he attracted Guanzhong Township to come south?

At the same time, he went to the direction of Yucheng to quickly recruit Yuwen Hu here and let him see this mess!

The generals in the tent have different opinions, but they also provide a lot of feasible plans, after all, they are the generals of the army, and they are also poor in the Western Wei Dynasty, and the poor fighting style is not a catastrophe. As long as Gangneung is successfully taken, all problems will not be a problem.

But no matter what kind of thinking they had, they all tacitly avoided the city, regardless of whether Li Licheng's words were true or false, but they also stirred up the worries in people's hearts.

Now that Li Tai is not in the town, if the army is stationed in the city, it will inevitably have an impact on the people's livelihood in the city, and it is estimated that the loss of anyone's property will be a fuse at that time. So the safest thing to do is not to go. If you are close to the city, as long as one of them behaves out of line, the rest will definitely not be able to hold back.

The crowd was talking in the tent, and it wasn't until midnight that Yuwen Hu hurried in.

He also knew what was going on the way, and after entering the account, he drew a knife in his hand to find Li Licheng, the guy who put him together, but was stopped by Yu Jin's cold expression, and even asked him if what Li Licheng said was true.

No matter how stupid Yuwen Hu was, he knew that he would never admit it at this time, so he shook his head again and again to deny it, and directly showed the grain supply plan, but in his verbal explanation, he explained the tradition of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion as taking precautions and ordering grain and grass to be sent everywhere in advance, so as to increase the mobility of the army.

After learning about this, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief. Although there are poor and poor ways of playing, if you can eat a full stomach, everyone doesn't hate it.

Although Yu Jin still had reservations about this, he would not question Yuwen Hu in public, and soon summarized the follow-up battle plan. And Yuwen Hu, who had just arrived, was elected as the forward of the army by everyone with a tacit understanding.

The reason why he is still willing to be a striker is of course not because of how well he has done in the city, but because everyone is worried that he will continue to stay here, and the farther away from the city, the better.

Although everyone didn't know the details of his actions after coming to the city, just looking at Li Licheng being forced to look like that, it can be seen that this guy definitely has no good tricks! Fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-Sabao are right, there is no reason to put mice in the rice bowl.

In short, the general idea that was finally decided was to fight a quick battle, and try to take Gangneung as soon as possible while staying away from the city. Other than that, you don't have to worry too much about it for the time being.

After all the generals dispersed, Yu Jin left Yuwen alone, picked a few key points and asked again. Yuwen Hu didn't dare to be sloppy at this time, and honestly told Yu Jin about the situation in detail.

Yu Jin was also silent for a long time after listening, and finally said to Yuwen Hu: "Where all desires gather, there must be a strong demonic atmosphere. Chubei is the place where Taiyuan Gong has been carefully operated for several years, and Zhongshan Gong suddenly entered here, and occasional negligence is inevitable. As long as the colleague can cooperate sincerely, even if there are mistakes and omissions, they can make up for them in time. The fact is that it is better to cover than to be raised, one person is short, and everyone is long. Don't rush to Jiangling to fight, first base Wuning to deter the crowd, wait until the army gathers, and attack it together! ”

After hearing this, Yuwen Hu nodded again and again, his attitude of admitting his mistake was also sincere, and he took the initiative to say that he was still walking with Li Mu, a general, even if he was negligent in his ranks, he could make up for it in time.

Yu Jin is quite satisfied with this attitude, because the situation that Li Tai has laid down before is too good, the current Jiangling monarchs and ministers are equivalent to being trapped in place, as long as Yuwen Hu is cautious and does not take the enemy lightly, there is basically no possibility of being beaten by Nanliang under the city, not to mention that Li Mu is with the army.

In addition to Yuwen Hu and Li Mu setting off as the vanguard, Hou Mo Chen Shun wanted to part ways to Xiangyang and go south with Xiao Jing, the king of Liang, and the people of Xiangyang. Yang Zhong took the road and went straight to Lushan to block the waterway of the Great River. These three people and horses have to set off in advance, but fortunately, Yuwen Hu is not completely unreliable, and the food that Xinye got is just distributed to these three people.

Yu Jin commanded 15,000 Chinese troops and horses down the Han River, and Wei Xiaokuan led 10,000 horses as his successor. As for Wei Chi Yuan, he needed to stay in the north in order to provide personnel support in the rear when the war was unfavorable, and at the same time, he also had the intention of defending the north.

However, in order to avoid the masses being distracted in the process of the war, Yu Jin did not send people to directly occupy the city, but asked Wei Chi to go to Xinye, geographically, Xinye and the war in the south can also better echo.

When the army was about to set off, Yu Jin remembered another advice from Yuwentai, so he said that he should invite the county lord of Xiangyang to meet, to show that the march was not maliciously aimed at the Duke of Taiyuan, but even though he was told by the people in the palace that because the north is located in the north and the south of the hot and cold place, as early as the middle of the year, the general had sent the county lord to Xingzhou for summer vacation, and he has not returned.

After learning about this, Yu Jin's heart added a layer of haze, and the bad feeling in his heart became more and more intense. But there was no turning back from the bow, and now he has been put in the middle of the matter and has no way to retreat, so he can only continue to move forward.

Even if Li Boshan has any conspiracy, he will never be frenzied to fight against the water and disturb his own people on the front line of the war between the two countries, right? Even if his people rushed back from Hefei to outflank the rear of the army, and waited until Jiangling was conquered in front, the initiative was still not in their hands.

Facts have proved that Yu Jin's imagination is still a little lacking, and young people don't talk about martial arts, and they are not much better than them, and even surpassing.

Next, Yu Jin continued to lead the army south, although the Chinese army was more than 15,000 people, but in fact, there were not so many people who followed the way.

Although the supply routes along the route under the rule of the Jingzhou military government were available, they were prepared for a small group of elite cavalry, and two or three thousand people at most were already the limit, but it was difficult to meet the consumption of tens of thousands of troops at the same time.

Therefore, if the army wants to have no shortage of food, it can only spread out and march, otherwise it will face the dilemma of running out of food and food. Moreover, because Li Tai had previously gone to Huainan, the grain and grass were mainly concentrated and stored in the land line closer to Huainan, and the number along the Hanshui was even less.

Fortunately, there were no thrills and dangers along the way, and finally arrived at the stone city at the junction with Nanliang. After arriving at Seokseong, you only need to cross the Han River to the west to reach the boundary of Gangneung.

Because it is the border between the two countries, there are also many garrisons on the front line of Shicheng. Li Yunxin, the guard general stationed in Shicheng, waited outside the city early, but Yu Jin, who had experienced Li Licheng's lesson, knew that the Li family was not credible, so he naturally would not settle in Shicheng, but only sent a division into the city to settle down, while he himself chose another place to settle in the city.

Because of the contradiction with Li Tai, although he has not yet entered the Liang Kingdom, Yu Jin already has a feeling of being in the enemy territory. After settling in, even the scouts were sent to tell the parties, ordering them to rush to the stone city within two days to assemble wherever they went.

At nightfall, Yu Jin was looking at the map of the fortifications around Gangneung at night, and was imagining the next siege strategy in his heart. The scouts who suddenly returned reported that Wei Xiaokuan, who was supposed to stay in the Houlu city after nightfall, had not yet arrived.

This inevitably made Yu Shen vigilant, and he didn't dare to relax at the slightest abnormality at the moment, even if he ordered the guards in the city to take turns to be on guard at night. And he himself came out in armor and prepared to inspect the city defenses.

At this time, the night was already dark, and suddenly the sergeant looking at the city reported that there were many sails on the Han River, and Yu Jinyan's heart tightened when he heard it, could it be the initiative of the Liang army in his dying struggle, or ......

The abnormality in the Han River has not yet been determined, and the sound of eager and noisy galloping horses sounded in the suburbs outside the city, and after hearing the sound, Yu Jin's brows suddenly wrinkled: "Li Boshan is really so ignorant and bold and reckless......

Even if he ordered all his men to put on armor and prepare for battle, he himself climbed to the head of the city to meet the invading enemy. No matter who the attacker is, he is confident that he will be able to defend it until dawn with more than 3,000 elite soldiers in the city, and when it is dawn, there will be no place to hide whether it is a man or a ghost!

At this time, the armor soldiers outside the city gathered more and more, and by the light of the fire, Yu Jin could also see that the clothing and staff of the soldiers outside the city were indeed the Jingzhou army. It seems that the worst situation has happened, Li Boshan really made chaos before the war!

He opened his eyes wide and didn't see Li Tai's banner appear in his field of vision, so he shouted loudly: "If General Li of Taiyuan Gong still serves the law of the Great Wei and recognizes himself as a Wei minister, please come forward to answer!" ”

The soldiers outside the city ignored it and began to fiddle with siege equipment under the city. Yu Jin was panicked when he saw this scene, he naturally heard that Li Tai had a siege weapon Heyang cannon, could it be that he wanted to experience it this night?

Fortunately, the siege equipment that the soldiers finally put out was not trebuchet, but a chariot, but the chariot seemed to be more powerful, and when it crashed into the city wall, the city wall immediately shook, and after several successive collisions, a section of the city wall suddenly collapsed.

When the smoke and dust of the collapsed city wall had calmed down, Yu Jin and the defenders saw that that section of the city wall only had a layer of rammed earth on the outside, but the inside was filled with wooden planks and weeds. But once it is hit by such a violent impact, it is difficult to resist it.

After seeing this scene, Yu Jin's face suddenly turned pale, and the whole person froze on the spot, allowing the sergeants to drag them into the city in a hurry. At this time, the soldiers outside the city cheered, and slowly advanced towards the city in a formation of weapons.
