Chapter 129 Luoyang Chess Game

Qingming, who was outside the street, was completely different from Xu You. There was no wind and sand or heavy rain, which were all illusions in the field. They only saw Xu You standing still, Zhu Xin suddenly left and right, and then up and down. Every move seemed to give up halfway, and rarely touched Xu You's body, let alone any wonderful battle process. Until the last attack, it finally had a mysterious meaning. Xu You seemed to be out of the air, but he was close to Zhu Xin. The two of them were separated at first. If they were not the little masters, they would not even be able to see clearly.

When Xu You painted the Yin-Yang Fish Picture, Hou Mo Yaming was still confused. He looked at the clouds and mountains, but Qingming entered the mysterious realm at the same time. When he opened his eyes and woke up, Hou Mo Yaming, who was guarding him, was dozing off. He was overjoyed when he heard the movement, turned over and flew to Qingming, and said, "Is it finally ready?"

Qingming's whole body was comfortable, the true qi was running like flowing clouds and water, and the perception and reaction of the six consciousnesses had improved several times. For eight years, he was trapped in the fifth grade and could not break free. Perhaps because Qing Guilu's practice was too cruel, which hurt Tianhe and was jealous of the Tao, or maybe he thought about it himself and realized it was not true, but in any case, the eight years of dust light did not waste in vain. This time he broke through the mountain gate and entered the fourth grade, and the true qi was polished so pure that he was not afraid of the top third grade. Although he could not win against the top second grade, he would not be as dangerous as before as killing Bai Changjue.

"How many days will I go into seclusion?"

"Five days!"

"Where is the general?"

"He has led a large army to Luoyang!"

"Can you leave a decree?"

"After you come out of seclusion, if you don't have any serious illness, you can rush over and meet."

"Okay, let's set off right away!"

Hou Moyaming habitually flattered and said, "No wonder [Bayi Chinese website www.x81zw.me] has the general trust in the husband, and I can't compare to this loyalty alone."

During this Qingming retreat, Hou Moyaming owed a favor to protect the Dharma, so he was not good to mock him anymore, saying, "Loyalty is not about these things. After being with the general for a long time, he will naturally understand!"

"Yes! I don't know anything, I have to give you more advice."

Hou Moyaming saw the situation clearly from the first day he entered the General's Mansion. First, he hugged the General's thighs and did not relax. Second, he followed Qingming's pace and did not fall behind. These two points were enough for him to gain a foothold and enjoy wealth.

The two of them took the three hundred remaining soldiers and chased the army on a boat. As they saw, boats and horses were endless, transporting food, grass and soldiers and equipment back and forth, and there was a busy scene everywhere.

The war is approaching, and the sight of death is everywhere.

After arriving in Luoyang, he went straight into the mansion to see Xu You. He was discussing countermeasures with the military officers around the huge Luo, Yu, and sand table map. He looked up and showed a gentle smile and said, "Is it a broken product?"

Qingming nodded and said, "Lucky!"

The relationship between the two no longer needs too much words. In a hurry, Qingming went to the corner and was waiting for arrangements at any time. Hou Moyaming followed suit and stood beside Qingming.

Xu You advised: "The battles and boats are exhausted, so you can go and rest for a while."

Hou Moyaming shook his head quickly. The closeness and alienation were too clear. The fool went to rest and said, "I am not tired during the holidays, but I can still lead the horse and kick the general..."

Xu You can only smile and let him smile.

There were dozens of generals in the hall, including Tan Zhuo, Lu Bozhi, He Ru, Tan Xiaozu, Zuo Qi, Ye Min, Qi Xiao, Ming Jing, Dan Tai Douxing, Geng Bu, Jiao Meng, Zhou Shiting, Cao Qing, Pei Shuye, Mi Pochu, Li Bi, Tang Mo, Quan Changyi and other dozens of people, discussing the main trends of the Wei army.

In Guanzhong, the Wei army that invaded Hedong County confronted Xue Xuanmo, Yin Zhao and others in the narrow zone between Puban City and Anyi City. The two sides fought more than ten times, and each other had a victory or defeat, which basically curbed the possibility of the Wei army advancing westward. Moreover, Xue and Yin had a force of up to 28,000, while the Wei army had only 5,000 main force and tens of thousands of soldiers recruited from the two counties of Hedong and Henoi. The combat power was worrying, and the long-term confrontation was obviously beneficial to the Chu army.

In Guanzhong, Xu You only needs to consider Luoyang. According to the secret government information, an army of about 100,000 people was setting off from Pingcheng, advancing along the water route, and heading all the way to Tunliu County in Shangdang County, and along the Qinshui River to Anze County. In another fifteen to twenty days, you can reach Yewang City on the north bank of the Yellow River.

At the same time, Xiangzhou, Jeju, Sizhou, Bingzhou, Jinzhou, Taizhou, Yongzhou and other seven prefectures and eighty-three counties were recruiting and servitude, vehicles, ships, horses, food and grass. It is roughly estimated that at least nearly 300,000 people from the Northern Wei Dynasty were contributing all for the upcoming war.

After listening to the statement from the Winter Solstice, Tan Xiaozu said: "In other words, we have 20 days to consolidate the city defense and study countermeasures?"

"As of the time being, the secret office cannot confirm whether these two troops are the main force of the Wei army." Dongzhi said: "However, based on the information sent back by the spies along the way, all the soldiers and horses are strong..."

He Ru sneered: "This is probably Yuan Mulan's suspicious plan! Most of the scattered scattered men in the Northern Dynasties were bribed rural farmers. When they saw the official army, they were all trembling. How can they tell whether they were the soldiers of the six towns or ordinary garrison soldiers? It was difficult to get in touch with the core decisions of the military when they finally entered the death room of Pingcheng. More importantly, it is not worth the loss to expose the identity of the death room in this battle. My opinion should be sent to several major ferries in the lower reaches of the Yellow River to conduct investigations day and night, just in case!"

Zuo Qi agreed and said, "Yes, Yuan Mulan will use troops again and will eventually have to cross the Yellow River before she can perform. Keeping the defense line along the river is the top priority at present."

Lu Bozhi held a different opinion and said: "Wei State suffered heavy losses in the past two years, and there was no grain harvest in autumn and winter. The team that could piece together a team of 100,000 people has already tried its best to achieve the final national strength. I don't think there will be a hidden main force gathering in the lower reaches of the Yellow River..."

Xu You turned to look at Tan Xiaozu and said, "What do General Tan think?"

Tan Xiaozu pondered for a while and said, "The main force of our army is distributed on the front line of Luoyang. The governor of Qingzhou Bu Tian guards the lower reaches of the Yellow River. There are only a few cities on the banks of the river that are nearly a thousand miles in the middle to guard Jinkou in Jinkou. If we are strictly prevented, we need to divide our troops in various places. Will we hit Yuan Mulan's plan?"

One of the advantages of the Chu army is that there are many soldiers and a wide range of generals. If the troops are divided, the situation will reverse. He indirectly expressed his opposition.

Qi Xiao said in a deep voice: "Our navy has the absolute advantage. We use boats to patrol the river channel. Wherever we find the enemy situation, we will transport troops to support immediately. We do not need to divide the troops everywhere. As long as we guard the cleanroom, Huatai, Shimen, Xingyang and other places, the rest are not worth worrying."

Xu You turned his head to look at Ye Min. Ye Min had obviously thought about this matter carefully and said, "The flood season is about to pass, and the Yellow River has thousands of miles of defense line, but there are countless places to cross the river, so it is impossible to defend. I suggest giving up all Jinkou along the river, shrinking its troops, and defending Xingyang, Hulao and Luoyang. Then divide 50,000 troops to defend Cangyuan, Xuchang, and Yangcheng, and sealing the road for the Wei army to go south. Please ask the governor Bu to defend Licheng to prevent the Wei army from deliberately splitting troops to invade Qing, Xu, and using the strategy of surrounding Wei to save Zhao, disrupting our morale."

As soon as this statement was made, it immediately aroused opposition from most people. Dan Tai Douxing refuted: "General Ye is too ambitious and destroys his own might! The central army of Wei State was almost defeated by Rouran. Although the soldiers of the six towns were brave, they were far inferior to our Great Chu. Moreover, from the Kuhan Frontier to the Central Plains, people and animals were not suitable for the water and soil here, and there was still doubt on the remaining combat power. Faced with such an enemy, they had not yet fought and retreated for hundreds of miles and handed over the city they had built up with hardships. How can they explain to the court and the people?"

Zhou Shiting also said: "General, General Ye's proposal is absolutely impossible. If you fear war and the enemy, your morale will be in chaos. Once the morale of the army is not with me, Luoyang will be managed by the sect for decades, and the people's hearts may not be with me. How can you fight this battle then?"

Others also talked about it. Except for Pei Shuye and Gengbu, there were very few people who agreed. Xu You hesitated and asked, "Li Bi, what do you think?"

Li Bi is a surrendered general of Xiliang. He has rarely expressed his opinions during the military discussion. Only when Xu You asked him, he said, "I think all the concerns of all the generals make sense. If the general is preparing to fight the Wei State in a decisive battle, Yuzhou and Luozhou will not be able to lose. He needs to send heavy troops to guard the Yellow River, and we will seize the land. If the general does not fight for a while, he just wants to beat the Wei people and seek border stability within ten years, he can let the Wei army come in and fight again. It doesn't matter if the Luoyang battle is abandoned..."

Xu You finally made up his mind and said, "According to Ye Min's proposal, the Military Office will come up with a complete plan within three days, preparing to give up the Yellow River, mainly Luoyang on the west line, Xuchang on the south line, and Canghuan on the east line, let the Wei army enter our pocket formation, and then close the door and beat the dog!"

"promise!"

Although the generals were not convinced by Ye Min, Xu You made up his mind and as soon as Jun Ling came out, they all obeyed unconditionally and tried their best to implement it.

The sword of the Supervision Department is not used to scare people!

Unexpectedly, just as night was about to come, Xu You had not yet rested, and received a report from the front that a certain unit of the Wei army crossed the Yellow River at some point and suddenly surrounded the sash platform. Sima Lianzhi, the sash platform guard, sent someone to break through to Luoyang for help.

"What's the situation with the enemy?"

"Because it is impossible to tell the difference late at night, but according to the people who broke through the siege, there are countless torches on three sides of the sliding platform, and it is estimated that there are no less than 20,000 people."

"Twenty thousand people..." Xu You frowned slightly and said, "Xuanzhong will discuss matters in the future!"
