Chapter 145: Battle in Yizhou
Qiu Liusong woke up from his coma, and his mind was filled with Xu You's words about yin and yang of 360. He was confused for two days and served food and drank wine. He took life and death very lightly. Since he fell into the hands of the enemy, he left it to fate.
Crack.
The iron door slowly opened. First, the setting sun in the evening secretly brought the dim light. Qiu Liusong raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a tall figure walked in, covering the light again. Hearing Xu You's voice, he smiled and said, "Mr. Qiu, you have been troubled these two days, don't blame me for being negligent."
"There is wine and meat, the general is worried!"
The mountain ghost was placed in the wine and meat. After eating, he was completely weak and could not lift up any strength. However, he was afraid of his mysterious skills. No one could cure him except Xu You, so he could not be considered humiliating. It is understandable.
Xu You sat down opposite and said, "It's good not to be negligent! Mr. Qiu, according to the rules of your Xianbei people, you are my prisoner, and I have the right to propose conditions for redemption to you..."
Qiu Liusong laughed and said, "Maybe to disappoint the general. I have nothing to do and am a servant of the Yuan Mansion. I don't have much money to redeem myself!"
"Money is a common thing!" Xu You said: "I have three questions. After the husband answers, he will agree to me with another condition and he can leave safely!"
Qiu Liusong said lightly: "A general might as well kill me directly. What you want to know is nothing more than the strategy of the battle of the Great Wei Dynasty. Although I am a humble person, I will not betray the country because of my greed for life and fear of death. How can I die? "
"I won't ask about the secrets involved in the military. Most of them are asking you about your personal impression. Whether you say it or not, it will not affect the situation of the war!"
Qiu Liusong thought for a while and said, "Okay, General, may I ask!"
"Wei State lacks food and cannot fight for a long time. This time, we went south to invade our prefecture, and attacked our way with no way. We knew we would be defeated, and the government and the country would be controversial?"
This is obviously a bonus issue. Even the people of Pingcheng knew the controversy over the sending of troops. It was not a secret. Some people think that there is no need to compete with Chu for a while. As long as they wait until the grain harvest is bumper next year and have another two years of cultivation, they can get hundreds of thousands of soldiers. At that time, they will have a greater chance of winning.
However, Yuan Yu destroyed Rouran and reached its peak in civil and military skills. When he was full of complacent, he was attacked by the Chu State and occupied Luoyang. He was like a thorn in his throat and did not vomit. Therefore, under the instigation of some ministers of the pro-war faction, he forced troops to send troops, regardless of the actual situation, just to save his own face.
Qiu Liusong said: "Even if there is some controversy, my Great Wei soldiers will win if they fight. General, you must know that the winner will not bear the infamy!"
Xu You smiled, not afraid that he would not speak, just say it, so he used the speech. The first question was very simple, to eliminate the vigilance, and then asked the second question directly, saying: "I heard that General Yuan had an cervical cervix on his face, and it was difficult to treat the severe disease. Is it true or false?"
Qiu Liusong hesitated for a moment, which was not a secret. After Yuan Guang returned to Beijing, he wrote to resign from his official position on the grounds of being a clot, saying, "The teacher has suffered from gangrene for five years, but he has a profound skill and should be fine..."
"It's not a big deal," Xu You raised the third question he really wanted to ask, and said: "If I arrange, please ask General Yuan to fight with Sun Guan, will he be confident to fight?"
"Ah?" Qiu Liusong stood up in shock, almost disbelief, and said, "What did you say?"
Xu You held his sleeves with his hands, sat upright, his eyes as deep as abyss, and looked at him quietly without saying a word.
Qiu Liusong finally calmed down, pressed his hands on several cases, sat down slowly, stared at Xu You, and said, "The General is such a vicious plan. The two great masters fight each other. No matter who wins or loses, it will be beneficial to you without any harm..."
"My husband is wrong!" Xu You smiled and said, "Sun Guanchi is old and weak. General Yuan is in his prime. If he doesn't want to fight, he will stop. If he wants to, now is the best time."
Qiu Liusong said with disdain, "How can a family teacher take advantage of this?"
"Original General Yuan will not take advantage of Sun Guan. If he takes advantage of the situation, then let Sun Guan occupy the advantage of the land. The location of the fight will be chosen somewhere in Yizhou!"
"Yizhou?"
"If the battle of the Grand Master is spread, it will inevitably cause a turmoil between the north and the south. The Yuan general must not be a greedy person. Yizhou is deeply mountains and densely forested, so it is not disturbed by the outside world. At that time, he will be asked to go there secretly. I will arrange someone to pick him up. Of course, to avoid loneliness on the way, you can take three or five disciples with you..."
"wishful thinking!"
Qiu Liusong was furious and said, "Xu You, I respect you for your second-level cultivation, so I can speak kindly, but if you insult my master, then come and fight again."
Xu You raised his eyebrows and said, "I only respect General Yuan, so how can I say humiliation?"
"What kind of master is, how can you be deceived by you and take risks alone? What if you use such a clumsy plan, isn't humiliation?"
Xu You shook his head and said, "Mr. Qiu Langjun, it's not me who humiliated General Yuan, but you! With the cultivation of the Grand Master, where can't be left in the world? Unless you use thousands of brave soldiers to arrange a formation of a dead end that can only enter but not exit in advance, and then lure the Grand Master into the fight, otherwise, if any trap, the Grand Master will leave, who can keep it? And the reason why I chose Yizhou was because the steep terrain and the repeated mountains and rivers of Yizhou was the most beneficial to the Grand Master. It is impossible to create such a dead end. You can rest assured!"
Qiu Liusong fell into a long silence. The duel between the two great masters involved the north and south countries, which had a greater impact than the battle between Sun Guan and Zhu Daorong. Think about Zhu Daorong's death and Chu State replaced the emperor. What would happen if Yuan Guang and Sun Guan died again?
No one could predict it!
Qiu Liusong was almost certain that Yuan Guang would definitely agree to Xu You's arrangement. The situation in the court was getting worse and worse, Yuan Guang was suspicious and had already developed a desire to leave. The fame and fortune in the world could not touch him at all. Only by fighting Sun Guan could he let go of everything and go south to Yizhou.
What's even more terrifying is that for various reasons, Wei Zhu Yuanyu might also be happy to see Yuan Guang and Sun Guan fight to the decisive battle...
He suddenly discovered that Xu You was a dignified plot and could not be stopped or cracked.
"Is Sun Guan willing?"
Xu You looked very gentle and said, "Shi Shi Sun will be willing!"
Qiu Liusong thought about it. Since Xu You dared to make such a proposal, I don’t know how long it took to make a secret arrangement, but he should report to his master as soon as possible. He said, “I answered the general’s three questions. Now, please ask the general to make the conditions?”
"It's very simple. I want you to not leave Pingcheng within ten years!"
"Huh?" Qiu Liusong was very confused and said, "If I don't leave the city for ten years, I can only concentrate on practicing the Dayan sword technique. Isn't the general afraid that I will enter the second grade, and come to find trouble for you again?"
Xu You smiled, his handsome face exuded endless charm. He stood up and bowed with fists, saying, "You and Yuan Mulan are the most likely to become masters of the Northern Dynasties. However, Yuan Mulan was born in the royal family and often he couldn't help himself and might not have too much time to practice martial arts. I just hope you can focus on martial arts. If you are lucky enough to step into the first-class mountain gate in the future, then the north and south rivers will not be too lonely!"
Qiu Liusong was finally impressed by Xu You's spirit. Yuanguang guided Fang Sinian. That was the style of a great man. He was happy to see talent, but he was not bound by the distinction between enemies and us. Xu You was not inferior to him. He hoped that the enemy would become a great master. In just a few words, how confident and arrogant he was to swallow the mountains and rivers?
"That day, I will ask the general for advice again!"
Xu You stood up, bowed and said, "I will give you the antidote to the mountain ghost later, as well as the ashes of the phoenix and the young master. Let's part here. I hope to meet you again within the first-class mountain gate!"
After a few more days of stabilizing the situation in Luoyang, everything was settled. When he learned that Yuan Mulan had really bitten Cangyuan, he immediately followed the strategy of the previous military proposal. Xu You signed several Jun orders, ordering Ye Min to lead the reorganized 20,000 Chifeng Army and Zhou Shiting's 20,000 Central Army to stay in Luoyang to guard against the enemy on the north bank; ordering Dan Tai Douxing to lead 20,000 Central Army to capture Huatai, cut off Yuan Mulan's retreat, and then lead his own 150,000 troops, take the Youdu Army's boat, and drive straight to Cangyuan along the waterway.
In fact, there were also Tang Zhijian's five thousand Zhenhaidu, which was left to Ye Min, with a total of 25,000 troops. It was not for the purpose of guarding Luoyang, but for Ye Min to take the opportunity to leave the Mengjin Ferry, defeat the 100,000 Wei troops entrenched on the north bank of the Yellow River, eliminate the danger of elbows and gain absolute initiative.
The 100,000 Wei troops were originally used by Yuan Mulan as a suspect soldier to attract the attention of the Chu State and to cover the main force hidden in Yecheng. The secret government has found out the origin, half of which were recruiting the garrison soldiers of various prefectures and counties, and half of them collected from the families of various surnames, Xianbei nobles, and Zhuhu tribes. They barely collected 100,000 yuan. They brought all their weapons, armor, horses, and food. The prefectures and counties along the way only provided a small amount of money and silk as military pay, but the Ministry of War has an order that all the seized battles can be used for their own use, and they are allowed to supply themselves in the enemy's territory. The implication is that burning, killing, looting, and robbing, and robbing is your ability, and the military law is not in charge.
The morale of 100,000 people was aroused like this, but they were not stupid. They all knew that Luoyang was the hardest to crack. They wanted to see how far Yuan Mulan could fight in Yuzhou and stop and rest. They just arrived at Yewang City the day before yesterday.
The general of the army was Sun Sheng, the chief general of the Fujun Army. He was the younger brother of the Grand Marshal Changsun Di and the father of Changsun Xiang, the chief garrison of the Hanoi County. He was from the second rank and Yitong Sansi, and had a noble status. This time, he led this miscellaneous army to fight and beat the east and west as an assist for Yuan Mulan. He succeeded, but he was defeated and suffered. He was reluctant, but he could not violate the order, so he had to drive the ducks on the shelves and drank in the central army's tent every day to drink and have fun. All military affairs were left to General Xi Fuling, the left commander.
However, Xi Fuling came from the Xi family and was both good at riding and shooting. At the age of fifteen, he went to the six towns to join the army, starting from the lowest sergeant commander, and at the age of twenty-five, he became the fourth-rank general of the left, and managed the military affairs in an orderly manner.
"Military Commander, war reports are coming from the front. General Yuan is leading his troops south to attack Cangyuan. Will our army take the initiative to cross the river and force the Luoyang defenders to dare not act rashly, so as to support him?"
Changsun Sheng was holding the singer to seek happiness, and waved his hand impatiently, "Go and find General Zuo, don't bother me if you have any big deal!"
"yes!"
Xi Fuling read the military newspaper, pondered for a while, and said, "Send a scout to closely monitor the movements in Luoyang. Once more than fifty people are mobilized, come and report it immediately!"
"General, may the island barbarians dare to cross the river to attack?"
The person who spoke was Shi Zhou, a Jie tribe, with deep eyes and sharp nose bridge, and his skin was as if he was painted with white paint. He was born with short feet and ugly eyebrows and eyes. He was shrunk in Huaishuo Town, one of the six towns. This time, he responded to the call of the court and brought three hundred tribesmen to join the army. He was lively and eloquent, and was valued by Xi Fuling. He was promoted to a seventh-rank general who was defeated by the military. He was brought by his side to counsel the military.
"We have to guard against it!" Xi Fuling said: "Xu You used square troops and used to crush his opponents with absolute superior forces. His every move was still expected. But Ye Min's use of troops was in a strange and unreasonable manner. Our 100,000 troops occupied the Yellow River, which was a sharp sword hanging over the heads of Chu people. Xu You wanted to send troops to Cangyuan, wouldn't he be afraid of being attacked from both sides? I expected that he would let Ye Min be responsible for Luoyang's defense, and Ye Min defeated General Hulu Deva the last time, which strengthened a lot of courage. He would definitely despise our army. Maybe he really dared to cross the river and attack..."
Shi Zhouxi said, "That relationship is good! The island barbarians are huddled in Luoyang City and cannot come out, which is a bit of a headache. But I dare to cross the river, so I will let him never come back!"
"Don't underestimate the enemy. The Chu people are not as easy to bully as before. Xu You organized a large number of surrendered Xiliang soldiers into the army. These people are good at shooting and cavalry, equipped with the Chu people's excellent armor and equipment, and their strength is not inferior to us."
"yes!"
Shi Zhou agreed to be well-behaved, but in fact he didn't take Chu people seriously at all. He just planned to take advantage of this opportunity to make more military achievements.
As for the island barbarians, not only pigs and sheep who only know howls on the chopping board, but also the merits and wealth written on the book. He had a premonition that the road to prosperity will start today!
