"So the general has already led his troops south..."

When he learned that Luoyang was recovered, Hulao was defeated and Xingyang was burned, Yan Lishi finally understood why Yuan Mulan risked the entire army being wiped out and confronted Xu You Zai Junyi, and refused to withdraw his troops no matter how he advised him.

They tried their best to hold Xu You's main force in order to achieve Yuan Guang's peak-stunning blow!!

"Yes, the general led 5,000 Baibaoxianbei and was not very prominent in Changsun Sheng's complicated troops. He avoided the eyes and ears of the secret palace. Then he crossed the Zhuguan night and stationed troops at Jiziling on the southern foot of Wangwu Mountain. To the west of Jiziling, Xue Xuanmo and Yin Zhao's troops of the Chu army were fighting fiercely with our army for Hedong. To the east of Jiziling, there were Changsun Sheng's 100,000 troops of Changsun Sheng. The Chu people ignored this inconspicuous middle area and had no spare energy to send scouts to investigate..."

Yuan Mulan said calmly: "The general carefully studied the combat style of Xu You and Ye Min. He expected that Ye Min would attack instead of defending, looking for an opportunity to eat Changsun Sheng's army in Ye Wangcheng, so he waited patiently for Ye Min to lead the Chifeng army across the Yellow River. He then hid from Jieziling on the day and went out at night. At the agreed time, he quickly occupied Mengjindu, and cooperated with the Zheng family inside and outside, and finally successfully captured Luoyang."

Yan Lishi couldn't help but say, "Isn't General Changsun's 100,000 troops a bait? Why didn't the general attack from behind when Ye Min attacked General Changsun? In this way, he could not only defeat Ye Min, but also protect General Changsun's troops..."

"In addition to Chifeng Army, there is also Zhenhaidu, who followed Ye Min to fight. Zhenhaidu is extremely powerful. According to the incomplete evaluation of the Ministry of War, even if it is not as good as Baibaoxianbei, it is probably not far apart. The general only has 5,000 people, and there is no absolute certainty to wipe out the Chu army in a short time. If the battle situation is in a stalemate, or a small part is released, it will arouse the alertness of Luoyang, even if Zheng is an internal supporter, we will completely lose the opportunity to capture Luoyang..."

"For the sake of the overall situation," she said a little low, "So, General Changsun's sacrifice is worth it!"

Isn’t it really because the Changsun clan is too powerful?

Changsun Sheng’s defeat may implicate the Taiwei Changsun Di!

However, these power disputes in the court had nothing to do with him.

The morning sun shone through the window mat, shining Yan Lishi's face, let out a long sigh, left the seat and knelt down, bowed down, and said, "Your Highness, please give an order! If there is a next life, I will still be willing to live under the protection of the ancestors, follow Your Highness to fight in all directions, and die for the Great Xianbei Mountain!"

Yuan Mulan got up and walked out, stopped at the door, and her graceful figure was bathed in the golden halo, like a fairy in the Nine Heavens, drifting to the world.

"Go on the road with peace of mind! Your family will not be implicated. I will keep them safe for one day!"

When Yan Lishi looked up again, he could no longer see Yuan Mulan's figure. He walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window, and his expression became calm and calm.

"What a beautiful autumn scenery!"

Yan Lishi's death completely shocked the entire army. He was in a high position in the third rank, and came from a prominent family and was highly favored by the emperor. He was killed without asking for an order. He Bayun, who had once heard of Yan Lishi's advice, could not sit still. In front of everyone, he took off his robe and clothes, tied his trousers, tied his back with a bow on his horn, held a pair of deer antlers in his hand, and crept into the tent.

This is the etiquette of Xianbei people expressing surrender. Yuan Mulan collected the horns, took the horns and whipped Hebayun on the back three times to show punishment. Then she helped him get up and said warmly: "Old General, I won't be the example!"

Hebayun sweated all over and said, "Thank you for your kindness!"

Since then, no one dared to question Yuan Mulan's decision, especially after the war situation in Luoyang was overturned, her prestige soared to the highest peak in history.

Unlike Junyi City, which was inspiring with the enthusiasm of the crowd and fighting spirit, the atmosphere in Zhongmu City is even colder than the cold wind in late autumn and early winter. The lobby of the city lord's mansion was silent, and the generals looked solemn, as if they had not recovered from the news of the fall of Luoyang.

Yes, seeing that I was sure to win and my achievements were about to be accomplished, I suddenly became elbows and my backyard caught fire. No one could accept it for the time being.

"Why, you have been wilted before the Frostfall has arrived?" Xu You looked around and smiled, "Who is Yuanguang? When he started riding a horse to kill the enemy, many of you here probably hadn't touched the sword and gun. As for me, they were not born at that time..."

Xu You deliberately said it lightly, and the generals tried hard to support the show, but they couldn't laugh. As the Contest Office, Hou Moyaming was also qualified to be in the hall. Seeing the scene was deserted, he consciously became the supporting actor and said, "The General was born to know that even if we were a few years older, it would be hard for the General to fall into the situation."

This flattery was straightforward and fierce, which was quite ashamed. Most of the generals lowered their heads and no one answered. The embarrassing toes could pick out a five-in-one house.

What else can Xu You do? He smiled and gave him a complimentary look. Hou Moyaming suddenly felt excited and opened his mouth to continue saying that he was interrupted by Xu You quickly, bringing the topic back to the right path, saying: "The Northern Wei Dynasty has fought in the past few years, destroyed countless countries and opened up a territory of tens of thousands of miles. What is it because of Yuanguang's great military achievements and invincible reputation! We cannot hope to easily defeat such a powerful enemy in less than a month with just 200,000 divisions... If the enemy is so vulnerable, then what is the blood and tears that we Han people shed over the past hundred years?"

"When leaving Chang'an, the six strategic goals agreed upon by the army, first, to hurt the enemy, so that they dare not covet the offensive within ten years; second, to train troops and courage, so that our army no longer fears the Wei army like a tiger; third, to eliminate the enemy's vitality and not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place... Think about it, did we do this? Yuan Mulan's 50,000 elite cavalry went south, now including the two thousand cavalry left outside Cangyuan City and the two thousand cavalry stationed in Xiangyi, at most 30,000, which was lost by nearly 50%. The soldiers were no longer the cowardly look of the Wei cavalry that was scared to death before. They dared to fight and rush, not only cultivated their courage, but also cultivated their spirit... Compared to Luoyang, these are the most important gains of our battle!"

The generals felt a little better, and Xu You's words were enlightened, freeing them from the craze of successive victories. In fact, when they fought with Yuan Mulan, they had already felt the power of the Wei cavalry, but they were relatively powerful, with the right time, place and people, and they firmly controlled the strategic initiative, so they could force Yuan Mulan to death step by step.

But there was not only Yuan Mulan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but Yuan Guang was the pillar of the sky that supported the Northern Wei Dynasty. He chose the most appropriate time and appeared in the most unexpected way, and slashed the Chu army's seven inches hard.

If you think about it carefully, it is unexpected, but it is reasonable.

Tan Zhuo sighed: "Now it seems that Yuan Yu's suspicion about Yuan Guang, Yuan Guang's resignation and various undercurrents in Pingcheng are all deceitful tricks... Yuan Yu can hand over the Baibaoxianbei to Yuan Guang's command. Does it mean that his trust in Yuan Guang is the same as before?"

He Ru said coldly: "That may not be true! Yuan Yu is not a saint, and Yuan Guang's great power is shocking, how can you not have suspicion? However, Yuan Yu is a powerful master who has never been born in the world. At a critical moment, you can let go of suspicion. Not only will you reuse Yuan Guang again, but you can even hand over the Baibaoxianbei to show grace... But after the war, if Yuan Guang does not rebel, there will be only a dead end."

"Why?" Mipo said strangely.

"If the master does it, he will be prosperous and prosperous, and the court and the country will rise and fall. If the ministers do it, the internal and external affairs will be uneasy, and the world will be slandered. Over time, the holy lord will not be tolerated, let alone the powerful lord?"

Mi Po subconsciously turned his head to look at Xu You. When he saw him smiling, he couldn't see his joy or anger. He suddenly realized his mind. He hurriedly sat upright, looking at his nose and his nose, and he didn't dare to answer He Ru's words.

Although this is about Yuanguang, Xu You and Yuanguang are so similar. The one who has great power is even more powerful than Yuanguang... Yuanguang has no way to survive, so what will happen if you wait for Xu You?

Mi Po was worried in secret. He Jijiu was so brave that he dared to mock the general in person like this. What exactly did he want to do?

Tan Zhuo changed the topic and said, "No matter whether Yuanguang will die or not, that's a story. Now that Luoyang is taken away by him, should we counterattack Luoyang next time, or will we conquer Junyi nearby first, and then attack Luoyang? Let's discuss it!"

Tan Xiaozu said in a deep voice: "Yuan Guang only has 5,000 people in his hands, and his troops are seriously insufficient. It is not a big problem for our army to counterattack Luoyang. However, Yuan Mulan still has more than 20,000 cavalry. If she refuses to fight to the decisive battle, we will not be able to catch up when she runs. If she turns around, she can attack our flanks at any time..."

This is the difficulty of cavalry. If Xu You counterattacks Luoyang, it will take about a day and a night to travel by land from Zhongmu to Hulao. Yuan Mulan can launch an attack from any angle, anywhere and at any time. Even the well-trained troops cannot bear it. But if he goes by water, he will give up the land to Yuan Mulan and go upstream. The speed of the boat is not as fast as the cavalry. She rushed to Luoyang in advance. Yuan Guang's troops will reach 30,000. If he wants to conquer at that time, the price he pays will roll in a geometric multiple, which is really not worth the loss.

Zuo Qi frowned and said, "Fortunately, there is not much grain stored in Luoyang. About 80% of the grain and grass transported from Chang'an have been transported to Zhongmu in advance, and time is still with us. Yuan Mulan refused to fight to the decisive battle, so she trapped her to death in Junyi. She couldn't hold on for too long with the grain and grass stored by Junyi."

Cao Qing agreed with Zuo Qi and said, "Yes, Yuanguang seized Luoyang, but he seemed to have taken advantage of it, but he and Baibaoxianbei were nailed to Luoyang, and he could not move at all. We can let Mr. Zhu recruit new soldiers in Chang'an, the people in Qin are strong, and many veterans from the former Xiliang. They can recruit tens of thousands of soldiers day and night to enrich the Qinzhou army, and then choose a good general out of Tongguan to enter Hongnong, and then use the Youdu army to advance east along the Yellow River, land and water to maintain a pressure on Luoyang, and then concentrate their troops and eat Yuanmulan first!"

In layman's terms, the current situation is very similar to the Battle of Ping'angele. It was Li Yunlong who beat the northwest of Shanxi into a pot of porridge, and this was the entire Luozhou into a pot of porridge.

Draw a line on the map. To the west of Luoyang, Hongnong County and Tongguan are all in the hands of the Chu army, but Yuanguang occupied Luoyang, east of Luoyang, Xu You occupied Zhongmu, but to the east of Zhongmu, Yuan Mulan occupied Junyi.

In other words, you have me in you and I have you in you, and you are intertwined, which really affects the whole body and the situation is extremely complicated.

"What about the opinions of the Military Division?"

Xu You is used to listening to other people's opinions first, and then asking He Ru. Generally speaking, He Ru will combine everyone's opinions and then propose a plan that best suits Xu You's wishes.

He Ru shook her head and said, "I'm still thinking, please discuss it first!"

Tan Zhuo was not pretentious and said directly: "Yuan Guang's military strength is insufficient, and he can occupy the Huzhu. Moreover, General Mingyue is famous and difficult to deal with. You can refer to General Cao's proposal and use Youdu Army and Chang'an Army to nail him to Luoyang."

He pointed to the sand table and said, "With Mipo's troops as the rear army, camped at the foot of Mushan Mountain, and supported each other with Zhongmu, to prevent Yuanguang from sending surprise troops to attack our rear from Luoyang. After that, I suggested that we should not delay any longer, concentrate all our troops and launch a strong attack on Junyi immediately. If Yuan Mulan wants to fight to the death, it would be great, and it would be annihilated at any cost. If she retreated in a hurry, we can counterattack Luoyang safely. As long as we can defeat Yuanguang and Baibaoxianbei, military victory is second, and most importantly, it will boost the morale of our army to an unparalleled level..."
