Just as Liu Mo was leading the army to attack Yongxing City with all his strength, the news from the scouts made him very uneasy.
To be precise, it was not news that came, but no news at all.
Since the last time I received news that the Sixth Prince had conquered Hetu City, there has been no news for such a long time.
It was understandable that there was no news about the eldest prince on the way. After all, he was not a "friend" to me.
Another one, the one to be attacked along the way is the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
With a powerful general like Yang Yizhi guarding the area, it would be difficult to make any progress for a while, and it was normal to have no news.
But the journey of the Sixth Prince was strange.
After conquering Hetu, did the Sixth Prince just stay put?
According to the previously formulated battle plan, he should leave a defensive force behind and then go south!
Even if you have to train your troops on the spot, you still have to keep in touch with Liu Mo!
How important is the information in the Cold Weapon Age? Didn't the Sixth Prince understand this?
Suddenly, Liu Mo had a bold guess, "Isn't this Yang Yizhi imitating me? The army of the Zhou Dynasty is gathering near Yongxing? Waiting for me to attack the city with all my strength, and then stab me in the back?"
"It's possible! But... it's too outrageous!"
"He doesn't want the capital anymore? Does he insist on fighting with me?"
After thinking hard, Liu Mo immediately shouted, "Go and call Zhu Min and Lu Sheng. I have something to discuss with them!"
His men immediately took the order and went there.
And when Liu Mo told everyone his thoughts, everyone was shocked.
"Impossible, sir, Yang Yizhi is not that crazy!" Zhu Min was the first to express his incomprehension.
"What if?" Liu Mo said, "On the battlefield, you can't ignore any small details, otherwise you will definitely suffer a big loss!"
"What do you mean, sir?" Lu Sheng asked.
This question stumped Liu Mo.
To be fair, he now understood Yang Yizhi's difficulties at that time.
In the last battle of Rongcheng, they knew that Bai Chengzong's army was nearby, but Rongcheng was within easy reach.
To give up like this, without mentioning the loss of face, would have a huge impact on the entire strategy.
The same goes for Liu Mo. Even if he decides to give up attacking Yongxing City, what's the next step? Where to go?
You can’t just go back to Daxia, right?
After returning, what will happen to the Sixth Prince in the north? Giving up Yongxing is equivalent to letting the Zhou Dynasty strangle the sixth prince by the throat, preventing him from advancing or retreating!
Attack Yongxing by force? So, hundreds of thousands of Zhou Dynasty ambushes were rushed out, unless they cheated, otherwise they would die!
Yang Yizhi, Yang Yizhi. You are such a formidable opponent.
This is where the real formidable enemy is, he will not lose his fighting spirit due to one or two defeats.
But the more you fight, the braver you become, and you can learn from the opponent's strengths and use his methods to repay him.
"Let's discuss it later!" the omnipotent Liu Mo finally announced.
Watching him leave, the other generals had mixed feelings in their hearts, "Have you not even noticed, sir?"
~~~
At night, Liu Mo's worries were confirmed.
This time, Yang Yizhi simply stopped pretending and didn't hide it.
Although he is not in Yongxing, he knows the current battle situation well.
Just when Liu Mo was upset and couldn't sleep, Yongxing's defenders raised a white flag and sent an envoy to talk to Liu Mo.
Liu Mo quickly stood up and saw the envoy.
The other party saluted and without further ado, he handed Yang Yizhi's autographed letter directly to Liu Mo.
When he opened it, Liu Mo's scalp felt numb.
The letter read: "Brother Liu, go back to China! I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have ambushed 300,000 troops in the Ningxi Corridor. If I go back to China now, I can still save your life!"
I guessed it right, there was an ambush!
Wait, could this be Yang Yizhi's trick? Just to trick me into returning to the country, and then gather an army to kill the sixth prince in the north?
The reason for this analysis is that it is impossible for you, Yang Yizhi, to target me and the Sixth Prince without even wanting the capital!
"Sir, what was written in the letter?" Sun Kan asked uneasily.
Liu Mo frowned and then handed the letter to the other party.
Sun Kan took the letter, read it and passed it on to others.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
"Sir, I think this is true!" Sun Kan broke the silence, "Have you forgotten? Yang Yizhi came to Rongcheng before and told you about forming an alliance!"
Liu Mo suddenly woke up. At that time, Liu Mo wanted to form an alliance with the Zhou Dynasty and destroy the eldest prince.
In the current war, could it be that the eldest prince had negotiated with the Zhou Dynasty, led the troops of the sixth prince and Liu Mo to come, and then ambushed the Ningxi Corridor and annihilated them in one fell swoop!
First Prince, you are so cruel!
Thinking of this, Liu Mo immediately ordered, "Send a scout unit to explore around the Ningxi Corridor and don't let go of any clues! Yongxin City, give up!"
As soon as the order was issued, Liu Mo led the army to evacuate Yongxing City quickly.
Soon after, the scout who ran out brought back news.
Near the Ningxi Corridor, there are a large number of Zhou Dynasty ambushes, who may cut off the retreat at any time.
Yang Yizhi didn't lie to me! Liu Mo reacted immediately.
This war was really negotiated between the eldest prince and the Zhou Dynasty, just to destroy the sixth prince!
What to do now? How could his tens of thousands of troops fight against Yang Yizhi's hundreds of thousands of troops without supplies?
That night, Liu Mo stayed up all night holding the "Oath!" gifted by the sixth prince.
By the next day, he finally made a decision: "Evacuate and return to China!"
No matter what, your life is at stake.
I, Liu Mo, originally wanted to lie down and not get involved in politics, but I was forced to join in all this.
Now, here's your chance to stay out of it. Let the three of you fight against each other, I, Liu Mo, won’t play anymore.
Where to go after this? Liu Mo had already thought about it, and that was Xing Luo.
I am already the king of Xingluo, and I still have my beautiful wife and son, Liu Mo, on the Xingluo Plateau. Wouldn’t it be nice to live a peaceful life?
Therefore, Liu Mo immediately asked his men to lead the troops to set off for Xingluo, and then he led a small group of troops back to Rongcheng, picked up Lin Shiqi, Su Xiaowan and other wives and children, and went to Xingluo for a meeting.
Just as Liu Mo guessed, as soon as he left, the Ningxi Corridor was blocked.
Fortunately, he walked quickly, Liu Mo thought to himself.
More than half a month later, the whole family came to Xingluo, and the better news was that the people of Rongcheng were also willing to follow Liu Mo.
So Liu Mo settled in Xingluo.
To the east of Xingluo, there is a vast land, which is more than Xingluo.
For this reason, Liu Moxian established himself as king, and once he occupied that place, he became invincible.
After that, Liu Mo wrote the following article, "The king's envoys should be courteous, and the ministers should be loyal to the king. The ministers are loyal, but the king is not polite, and the king is not a wise king. What is a wise king, and what is a good minister? A wise king makes decisions before things happen. A good minister plans thousands of miles away.
Today we are mediocre and immoral, shameless and unfeeling, the courtiers deceive the world and steal reputations, and have unbridled ambitions. The rulers and ministers are ungrateful to the country and have no regard for the people. They impose heavy taxes and levy excessively and engage in military activities that do nothing to calm the people. They always have the intention of causing chaos for the country.
If God does evil, you can still violate it. If you do evil on your own, you can't ignore it. Now I, Liu Mo, want to save the building from falling and restore the bright sky. "
