"Yes, what the general said is absolutely true, that is, fighting to support war. c八 c八 cRead c书, ■o↑"
Wu Xin continued, "In this way, by sending troops to Hebei, we can not only conquer the hearts of these two begging troops, but also capture population and food from these powerful men."
Although Liu Yu knew that the method Wu Xin mentioned was definitely a feasible method. After all, these powerful men surrendered to Shi Le and were willing to give food and grass for Shi Le to drive him. So as long as Liu Yu defeated Shi Le and relied on stronger force than Shi Le, he would It can completely replace Shi Le's position.
However, Liu Yu still felt some indescribable feelings in his heart.
"These Hebei tycoons must have been forced to succumb by the brutal and murderous Hu Lu. If we also looted them, wouldn't we be no different from the Hu bandits? Will the Hebei tycoons be dissatisfied and start a group? What about resistance?"
Liu Yu said with some concern. He knew the virtues of these powerful Han people in his heart, and he was afraid that this would really push these powerful Han people to the Hulu side.
"Hulu like Shi Le ate the food offered by the powerful and powerful, and drove the tribes drawn from the powerful to kill our people in the Xia Dynasty. Afterwards, we just asked these weak and powerful powerful to compensate us with some wealth and food. They relied on What are you dissatisfied with!?”
As Wu Xin spoke, he became a little emotional.
"When the Hulu forced them, they swallowed their anger. Why did they dare to disobey us when it came to us? Is this bullying us because the knife in our hands is not sharp?"
"General, if there is such a powerful person, I am willing to lead my soldiers to massacre his clan. Such a charming and bullying person is no longer worthy of living."
These few words from Wu Xin suddenly made Liu Yu's heart clear.
Today's troubled times have begun, and the basis for the struggle for hegemony among all parties is actually to compete for these populations, wealth, and land. If you don't compete for it, others will compete for it.
Just like these powerful people in Zhao and Wei, if Liu Yu couldn't bear to squeeze them, when Shi Le came back again, the wealth and power of these powerful people would become the capital for Shi Le's recovery.
After all, Liu Yu at this time did not have enough strength to defend the Jizhou area, which was surrounded by enemies on three sides.
"Brother Bocheng's words can be said to be the best of the best."
Liu Yu said sincerely.
After hearing this, Wu Xin bowed his hands and said.
"What someone said is vulgar, but he speaks from the bottom of his heart. Nowadays, the Hulu are as fierce and stubborn as animals. Wu Xin and others' wish to return to Yanzhao's hometown is pinned on the general. The general will not care about these people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Never have the kindness of a woman. ∈八∈八∈Read∈书, ≦o≧”
This conversation with Wu Xin really made Liu Yu more determined. At this time, it was a chaotic world of cannibalism, and benevolence and righteousness often became obstacles.
"I wonder what the second concern the general mentioned is?" Wu Xin couldn't help but ask.
When Liu Yu was about to answer Wu Xin, a guard suddenly announced outside the door that Liu Yu's mastermind Hua Xiu had arrived.
Then Hua Xiu came in. He saw that Wu Xin was also present. He seemed to have something important to do, so he didn't say anything and directly presented a letter to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu took it and read a few lines in two or three glances.
"Brother Bo Cheng, the second concern I want to talk about is right here."
With that said, Liu Yu handed the letter in his hand to Wu Xin and let him read it for himself.
Wu Xin did not take it immediately, but glanced at Hua Xiu. He was afraid that this was some kind of confidential letter, and he would be looking for trouble if he saw some secrets that he should not know.
However, Hua Xiu's indifferent expression made Wu Xin take the letter Liu sent him in advance.
Wu Xin only glanced at the few lines and read them all.
However, the content made Wu Xin a little worried.
This secret letter was sent back from Xuzhou by Qingzhou in the name of a caravan.
The letter stated that Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, had received an order from Taifu Sima Yue, asking Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, to send troops to attack Qingzhou.
The time and location of the attack are unclear.
However, the offensive route should basically attack Qingzhou from the east of Mount Tai.
. . . . .
As for why Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea, did this, Liu Yu understood it after thinking about it based on Sima Yue in history.
Since returning from Yanzhou Juancheng, King Sima Yue of the East China Sea has been sending people to ask him for the captured Yanzhou governor Yuan Fu. Although Liu Yu did not kill Yuan Fu, it was only after Hua Xiu persuaded him to see Yuan Fu in Chen County. Just for his sake.
Liu Yu had already taken him into custody. After all, he was the villain who almost harmed him. How could he hand him over?
Moreover, what Sima Yue wanted was not only Yuan Fu, the governor of Yanzhou, but also the tens of thousands of people who were moved to Qingzhou by Liu Yu, and the Jibei County occupied by the Qingzhou Army.
If he hadn't been afraid that breaking up with the Jin court under Sima Yue's control would not be conducive to attracting the refugee population, Liu Yu would have wanted to go out in person and strip Sima Yue, this "shit stirrup," naked and hang it on a street light pole.
However, Liu Yu also knew that Sima Yue also had scruples.
Qingzhou controlled by Liu Yu is close to his hometown Xuzhou, so Sima Yue, who has already built a retreat in Xuzhou and Yangzhou, has to be cautious.
The other one is Wang Jun. The signs that he intends to compete for the highest position in the empire are too obvious.
In terms of strength, Wang Jun's Youzhou strong town is not weaker than Sima Yue's Chinese army.
In terms of reputation, well, neither of them has a very good reputation, but Wang Jun is still slightly better than Sima Yue.
Therefore, Sima Yue was still afraid that Wang Jun would be provoked, and he would break out in anger and force him into the palace. After all, among the powerful vassal brothers who supported his younger brother Mo Sima Yue, only Sima Mo was left.
However, as the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty's military attacks on Luoyang became more and more frequent, the location where the Hu and Jin armies fought was getting closer and closer to Luoyang.
At this time, Sima Yue had decided to lead hundreds of officials from Xingtai to move eastward. Before that, Sima Yue could not wait to remove Liu Yu from Qingzhou and take the still stable Qingzhou as his own.
Of course, whether he could successfully defeat the Qingzhou Army in Liu Yu's hands, King Sima Yue of the East China Sea still tried his best to adopt the principle of being lenient to the enemy.
In Sima Yue's plan, Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, led his army to attack Jibei County from the southwest. He also dispatched Wang Dun, the governor of Yangzhou, and Qian Puhui, the general of Jianwu, to lead his army north from Jiangdong, and then launched an attack from Langya and Chengyang counties. , In this way, we can basically attack in three directions and defeat the Qingzhou Army at the same time.
Of course, Liu Yu did not know about Sima Yue's three-pronged attack plan, but he had serious doubts about whether Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, could launch an attack on Qingzhou according to Sima Yue's order.
Because, according to the intelligence that came almost at the same time, Wang Mi, who had once again been promoted to a noble rank by the Xiongnu Han Emperor Liu Yuan, had led his men to attack Yuzhou and Xuzhou again.
Moreover, the refugees in Yingchuan, Liang and other places could not bear the persecution of the local powerful, so they revolted one after another and surrendered to Wang Mi.
Wang Mi's military strength instantly expanded to more than 100,000 people, and he immediately began to stare at Xuzhou with eager eyes.
After learning about this, Liu Yu discussed with Hua Xiu, Dong Ping and others. Pei Dun, the governor of Xuzhou, must be busy guarding against Wang Mi in a short period of time and had no time to take into account the orders of Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea.
In this way, it was a good time for the Qingzhou Army to attack the barbarians in Guangping and Guangzong and win over the two begging troops, Chen Wu and Hao Ting.
Although Hua Xiu, Yan Zhu and others raised objections, they felt that the beggar army was basically from the Sima Yue faction. Even if they were kind this time, they might fall out with Sima Yue in the future, and these beggar army would have to defect again.
However, Liu Yu knew that although the beggar army in history did actively support Sima Yue at the beginning because they were born under Sima Teng, soon, as the military pressure from the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty increased, the beggar army completely It became "begging for work", and the imprint of the Sima Yue faction gradually faded away.
After all, the more Sima was in trouble, the beggar army repeatedly rushed to rescue him. When the beggar army was surrounded by the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty, Sima Yue always abandoned it like worn out shoes.
Therefore, Liu Yu believed that these beggar soldiers still had a chance to be completely used for their own purposes.
Moreover, Liu Yu also wanted to take the initiative to attack Shi Le this time and compete for the war resources that Shi Le had just grasped.
In December of the third year of Yongjia.
Liu Yu once again left Hua Xiu and Liu Yi as the remaining long-term officials, and his generals Dong Ping and Li Feng were stationed in Jibei and Chengyang counties.
Then he swore an oath at Qingting in Jibei County to go north to rescue the beggar army.
Liu Yu led 10,000 infantry and cavalry out of Jibei County, crossed the frozen river, and headed in the direction of the beggar armies in Guangping and Guangzong.
In front of the Wan Qingzhou Army, there were at least 50,000 enemy troops waiting for them.
Although there was a huge difference in the number of troops, Liu Yu was full of confidence.
This time, he wanted Shi Le and other barbarians to see the power of money.
. . . . . . .
Quang Binh City.
The biting cold wind is howling, and the dry, snowless winter is not a good sign.
It was already the end of December. If the season was as usual, even the beggars who had left their hometowns would be filled with a cheerful atmosphere in the Wubao where they gathered. After all, the New Year would be celebrated in less than ten days.
But at this time, there was no joy in Guangping City where the beggar army was stationed. Instead, it was full of sadness and despair.
Less than 5,000 beggars have been besieged by 30,000 barbarians and bandits for more than a month. Guangping City, which was already short of all kinds of supplies, faced a shortage of all kinds of supplies after the brutal and high-intensity offensive and defensive battles. Lack of scarcity.
However, the beggar army trapped in the city still maintained a high fighting spirit.
Inside the temporary military commander's camp in the city.
The generals, led by the refugee commander Chen Wu, are discussing military affairs. As for the matter of discussion, they are how to continue to go out of the city to find reinforcements, because according to the current situation, I am afraid that in another half month, the beggar army in Guangping City will not be able to survive. Everyone will be injured and no one will be left intact.
At that time, the beggar army, which is already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, will face the end of the city destroyed and people killed. 11
