"The Qinghe River is now empty. If we fight Shi Le here, we will definitely be attacked by the Hulu cavalry to carry our supplies."
Liu Yu frowned slightly.
"In this case, it plays into Shi Le's hands. When our army's support is exhausted, it will have to withdraw, and the barbarians can follow behind and harass them. Not only will these newly attached civilians be killed or injured, but nine out of ten of them will be killed or injured. If our army is a little careless, we may suffer a huge defeat."
Xi Jian said immediately.
"Although Jizhou is large, it can only accommodate one lord. As the saying goes, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. Your Majesty personally led the elite troops to this place. Why not personally mobilize the bravery of the three armies to completely capture Jizhou?"
After hearing this, Liu Yu felt a surge of pride in his heart.
However, it is one thing to feel heroic in one's heart, but the actual situation is another.
"However, our army's subsequent food and baggage must now be transported from the rear. If the Hulu keep avoiding fighting and just blindly harass the baggage route, wouldn't it be too passive?"
Today, in Qinghe County, apart from a bunch of common people and scholars who are suffering from hunger and cold, all that is left is a large area of fertile land.
However, no matter how fertile the land in Qinghe County is, it is impossible to grow food immediately, and it is impossible to complete local supplies.
The transportation routes along the way are all in the vast Jizhou Plain, which is most conducive to the mobile harassment of Hulu cavalry.
Soon, the problem Liu Yu faced was not the battle, but the harassment and defense of the logistics supply line.
"Haha, Your Majesty, why do our troops have to stick to Qinghe?" Xi Jian said.
"Huh? What do you mean by this?"
"Qinghe is almost a white land now. Apart from the tens of thousands of remaining households in Qingyang, Dongwu and other places, what else can be used?"
"What does Uncle Xi mean?"
Liu Yu asked doubtfully.
The current situation in Qinghe County is indeed like this. If you don't stick to Qinghe County, you have to retreat back to Pingyuan County. It is only separated from Liu Yu's rear area by rivers and Jishui. Even if you use the food and grass from the rear, it will be even more difficult. The safety is guaranteed.
"Your Majesty, I have just said that when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win! Now our army is bound here, and when Shi Le hears the news, he will definitely lead the army to contain our army."
Liu Yu nodded when he heard this. He had already guessed this situation.
"I believe that at this time, we can neither lead the people of Jizhou to retreat to the plains, nor can we be trapped here."
After Xi Jian said these words, Liu Yu had roughly guessed what Xi Jian was going to say.
"Mr. Xi, do you mean to take the initiative and move forward from Qinghe?"
Xi Jian nodded and said.
"Yes, your Majesty said exactly what I imagined."
"Yes, Qinghe County is already like this. If we continue to go deeper, the difficulty of escorting the rear army's food and grass baggage will be even greater. How can it be a better way?"
"No, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why Shi Le's army, also in Jizhou, didn't think about the problem of baggage along the way?" Xi Jian said.
Liu Yu touched his chin and said.
"It must be because Shi Le's army was joined by many strong men from Jizhou. After these people took refuge with Shi Le, Shi Le's march in the central Hebei area was actually marching on his own territory. In addition, our army did not have extra cavalry to harass, so this Naturally, we will have peace of mind when we fall back.”
Speaking of this, Liu Yu thought of something else.
"In this way, the transportation line of Shile's army is actually very short, and there is less risk of being intercepted by attacks."
After hearing this, Xi Jian nodded and said.
"Yes, it's because Shi Lejiu combined the power of Jiehu and Liu bandits to force Jizhou's powerful people to surrender. Not only did they have less worries, but they also had sufficient food, grass and manpower."
After hearing this, Liu Yu suddenly realized.
"I understand. What Duke Xi means is that I can also use the army in my hands to make these Jizhou powerful men betray Shi Le and switch to our army, right?"
Xi Jian smiled slightly and said.
"Yes, your Majesty is indeed a man of extraordinary resourcefulness."
"These powerful men in Jizhou are insulting the honor of their ancestors and betraying the moral principles of the world. Why do they stoop to do what they want?"
"It's just out of fear of Shi Le's ferocity that I turned myself into his eagle dog."
When Liu Yu heard this, he already knew that Xi Jian must have a way to deal with it.
"In that case, what's Mr. Xi's clever plan?"
"Now Shile occupies six counties: Jijun, Yangpingjun, Zhaojun, Weijun, Julu and Anping. Among them, Julu and Anping are both located in the north of Dalu Ze. The lands of Zhao and Wei echo each other, restraining one from the south and the other from the north. Qinghe.”
"Therefore, I advise your Majesty to lead the soldiers of the three armies and the Qinghe scholars to the north to counterattack Anping and seize the capital of Anping County!"
"Xindu?" Liu Yu repeated softly.
"Yes, it is Xindu. Xindu is an important town in Jizhou. Although it has no longer been as prosperous as the Han Dynasty and is now not as good as Yecheng and Xiangguo, it is located at the center of Jizhou. As long as Xindu is captured, Julu and Anping will be defeated." The magistrate of the county will definitely be able to stand up to the wind, but with His Majesty's power, who is willing to do anything wrong again?"
Liu Yu didn't really believe this statement. After all, the thoughts of these powerful people could not be influenced by a simple distinction between Hu and Han.
However, as long as Xindu is captured, it means that Liu Yu's military deterrence is higher than Shi Le, at least, for the powerful in Julu and Anping.
"Capture Xindu, and then the powerful people of Anping and Julu counties will be able to provide food, grass, baggage and other supplies for His Majesty's army. In this way, even if Shi Le follows behind, he will be unable to do anything."
The more Liu Yu heard about Xi Jian's plan, the more he felt that if it succeeded, although Shi Le could not be driven out of Jizhou immediately, as long as he relied on the production of Julu and Anping counties to gain a foothold, it would only be time to drive Shi Le out of Jizhou. Problem.
After all, the reason why these Jizhou powerful men defected to Shi Le was just because they were "frightened to hear the Hu". If Liu Yu defeated the Hulu on the ground in Jizhou, then the whole situation would become "fearful to hear the Han".
"Good! Mr. Xi's plan is really wonderful." Liu Yu praised it.
"However, Anping and Julu counties are close to Liu Yan and Wang Jun to the north. These two people have already regarded me as enemies. If we and Shi Le are on the north and south of each other, wouldn't they be caught in a north-south attack?"
Xi Jian's plan was good for everything, but it was this problem that put Liu Yu in trouble.
"Your Majesty is so worried, so Liu Yan, who occupies Changshan County, doesn't think of Wang Jun this way?" Xi Jian stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Although these two people are both ministers of the Jin Dynasty, they are already enemies. It is too late to guard against each other, so how can they have the energy to attack?"
Liu Yu nodded in agreement.
"The only variable is Wang Jun. This man's actions cannot be deduced by common sense. Fortunately, Duan Bu has already turned against him. For a while, it will be difficult for him to have any spare power to plot against me."
