Chapter 268: Fight to the Death
Zhengyang six years.
Early December.
200,000 defenders of the imperial city entered the Daimyo's mansion, guarded the four gates, allowed to enter but not to leave, and the whole city entered a state of martial law.
On the same day, Chu Yujia, the general of Ye Guo, and Pu Cheng, the general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, led a total of 6,000 people from the two kings out of the imperial city and went south to Qingfeng Mountain at the junction of Qianshu and Western Chu.
In the southern border of Qianshu, Nanma County is not far from Western Chu, but it is cut by Qingfeng Mountain.
Pu Chengshuang, who was walking side by side with Chu Yujia, couldn't help but ask, "Do you really plan to fight to the death for Emperor Zhengyang?"
"Or else?"
Chu Yujia glanced back at Pu Chengshuang and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not just for Emperor Zhengyang, but also for ourselves." ”
"Why?"
Pu Chengshuang looked at Chu Yujia puzzled and said: "Now that it has reached this point, even if Qianshu is destroyed at that time, the final territory will be owned by the Son of Heaven, no matter how you look at it, it is for the sake of the Son of Heaven, what benefits can you and I get, I haven't seen it until now." ”
"What if it belongs to the Son of Heaven?"
"Does the Son of Heaven have someone to govern, or does he have soldiers to manage?"
Chu Yujia raised his eyebrows and looked at Pu Chengshuang, and said with a smile: "So in the end, Shu Land still belongs to you and me." ”
"You are so confident that the Son of Heaven will divide the land of Shu to Ye and Southern Tang?"
"If you don't believe it, just look at it. ”
Chu Yujia narrowed his eyes and said, "If the Son of Heaven doesn't even have this skill of controlling people, then he will be the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid he will have to come to an end." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Isn't that easy?"
Chu Yujia chuckled and said: "This time, Qian Shu Ke and Xi Chu wore a pair of pants, although no one said it explicitly, but everyone knew it in their hearts. ”
"If Qianshu was destroyed by you and me, but the final territory was in the hands of the Son of Heaven, then it was on the opposite side of Xichu from beginning to end, with the current situation, the Son of Heaven did not dare to do this, so he would definitely launch you and me to block the knife, so this territory would only fall into our hands in the end. ”
As soon as he heard this, Pu Chengshuang also reacted immediately, smiled coldly, and said: "After all, the Son of Heaven does not have the strength to offend Xi Chu on the face now, so he can only use this kind of yang scheme that makes Xi Chu have no way to target him." ”
"That's right. ”
"Then where are you going to intercept the Western Chu army?"
This is a very critical question.
But Chu Yujia had already made a plan.
He may not be as good as Meng Feihang in terms of invention and creation, and he is not as good as Rong Mingzhi in government affairs.
But in war, there is no one better than him.
He is Chu Qianwen's son, and even if he is familiar with it, he is better than others.
What's more, he is talented in his own right, and he also loves to learn?
"If you want to enter Qianshu from Xichu without a detour, there is only this one road to go, that is Qingfeng Mountain, Fengchuan Valley. ”
Chu Yujia's face rarely showed a serious look, and said: "This canyon is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, no matter which side you go to, as long as you occupy the mountain winds on both sides first, it will be difficult for the other party to pass through the canyon." ”
Chu Yujia narrowed his eyes and said, "If my guess is correct, the Western Chu Army just wants to pass through this canyon as quickly as possible, or simply occupy this canyon to ensure their own logistical security, but if we cut off this place in Fengchuan Valley, they can't take half a step forward in whatever they say." ”
"After all, there are many mountains and rivers in Shudi, and if you want to make a detour, you have to detour for nearly half a month, and even pass through the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty or the Son of Heaven. ”
"But whether it is the Southern Tang Dynasty or the territory of the Son of Heaven, no one will let Xichu pass unharmed. ”
Chu Yujia took a deep breath and continued: "So this road, we have to occupy everything in advance. ”
"But have you ever thought that there are only six thousand of us? ”
Pu Chengshuang turned his head and glanced at Chu Yujia, and said: "When Western Chu enters Qianshu, at least there must be more than 100,000 people, and our army intercepts more than 100,000 people with 6,000 people, are you afraid that you are crazy?"
"Crazy or not, you can only know if you hit it. ”
Chu Yujia shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid of you, a big-headed ghost!"
Pu Chengshuang rolled his eyes and said, "I just don't understand, our army has 6,000 people, and even if we fight to the death, we can't garrison it for too long, so where does our army go to defend it?"
"Of course, it's in the former Shu Capital City. ”
Chu Yujia raised his head and said, "I have issued an order to the Northwest Army yesterday, and the whole army will turn to Qingzhou, the former capital of Shu, and capture it at all costs. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Yujia paused and said, "Didn't you give the order?"
"I'll go, Chu Yujia, you're really a chicken thief. ”
"You already had plans to take the former Shu Capital, why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I thought you understood my strategy. ”
Chu Yujia was also a little helpless, and said, "Who knows that you haven't figured it out yet?"
"Chu Yujia ......"
Looking at Chu Yujia, Pu Chengshuang gritted his teeth with hatred, and finally had no choice, so he hurriedly went to order and inform Yu Yunjun, turned north, joined forces with the Northwest Army, and attacked Gyeongju with all his might.
After all, whoever takes the capital will be able to bring the greatest benefits to his country.
Everyone knows that Qianshu is rich, and they all know that most of Qianshu's wealth is in the treasury of Gyeongju.
Pu Chengshuang didn't want all this wealth to be taken away by Chu Yujia, so she could only get a little benefit.
She could think of this, how could Chu Yujia not think of it?
After all, the two do not belong to the same camp, although they are now united front, but maybe one day, the two will meet on the battlefield.
Chu Yujia is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, public is public, and private is private, just like he can call Zhao Kuan Xiaokuanzi in private, or he can play with Zhao Kuan.
But on the bright side, Chu Yujia still has to kneel and bow to Zhao Kuan, and he still has to call the king.
This is the case with Zhao Kuan, and even more so with Pu Chengshuang.
Although the two have a sense of familiarity at first sight, they do not belong to the same camp after all, and the two can be friends in private, but when it comes to political positions, he will never give up half of her points.
In fact, Pu Chengshuang is also such a person, but it has always been Chu Yujia who has been in the dominant position from the beginning to the end of this war.
However, after giving the order, Pu Chengshuang turned his head to look at Chu Yujia and asked, "Then you say, where do you and I hold on for how many days?"
"Fifteen days at least. ”
Chu Yujia pursed his lips and said, "No matter what, even if it is a stalking, the Western Chu army will be dragged on Qingfeng Mountain for fifteen days. ”
Chu Yujia narrowed his eyes and said: "Now, our actions must be fast, we must arrive at Qingfeng Mountain before sunrise tomorrow, and we must build a defense line in the Fengchuan Valley of Qingfeng Mountain, the defense line is completed a quarter of an hour earlier, our army can hold on for a moment longer, and the soldiers on the front line of our army will be able to sacrifice a few less." ”
Hearing this, Pu Chengshuang took a deep breath and said, "Then have you ever thought about how many people will come to Xichu?"
"At least 30,000 people. ”
Chu Yujia pursed his lips and said: "The Western Chu army is nothing more than the border army at the border of Shanrong, but that border army, unless he is the king of Chu wants to commit suicide, will not move, at most, he will only send 30,000 people to enter Qianshu in advance to boost the morale of Qianshu." ”
"And the rest are the Western Chu Central Army, these people will definitely move forward with the grain and grass, at least ten days or even half a month later. ”
Hearing this, Pu Chengshuang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
With 6,000, hit 30,000?
This can no longer be called a vicious war.
It's a real fight to the death......
