"Liu Yueshi of Bingzhou is located on the side of the Hulu's hearth lair. There is almost no full moon on Anping days of the year. Now that the Hulu have captured Luoyang and their troops are sweeping across the entire territory of Sizhou, after the Hulu have succeeded, after all, Sizhou If the people's wealth captures Jinyang, Liu Yueshi's power will decline even more!"
When Xun Sui said this, he paused and said.
"What's more, although Liu Kun is a minister of the Jin Dynasty, there are more and more business trips between Jinyang Zhongshan and Jizhou. It can be seen that Liu Kun is not a pedantic person, and there may be something to be done to attack the barbarians together!"
After hearing what Xun Sui, the regular servant of Sanqi, said, Liu Yu nodded in agreement.
Although Liu Kun has always maintained his loyalty to the Jin Dynasty, ever since Liu Yu captured most of Jizhou, he has maintained a peaceful situation between the two sides.
Moreover, since the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom intensified their offensive against Liu Kun in Jinyang, Liu Yu, the governor of Bingzhou, was completely cut off from his involvement in the salt ponds in Hedong.
As a result, Liu Kun, who was trapped in a corner of several cities in Jinyang, not only cut off the way to profit from the salt ponds to raise troops, but without the Hedong salt, his efforts to win over the Tuoba tribe were also greatly affected.
The Xiongnu Han Kingdom, together with its Tiefu people and Baibe Xianbei people, blocked all trade with Liu Kun and Tuoba Xianbei.
In order to make up for the lack of supplies, Tuoba Xianbei had to intensify his offensive against Zahu and Baibe Xianbei in the west. As a result, there were even fewer troops available to support Liu Kun in Jinyang.
After Liu Yu learned about this situation, he instructed the Han army in Jizhou to start a salt trade with Liu Yan in Zhongshan to show his goodwill and help Liu Kun find another way to win over Tuoba and other tribes.
"Well, what Xun Qing said makes sense, and Liu Kun and the Huns are life-and-death enemies. Even if he doesn't help Sizhou, but just to attack the Huns, Liu Kun will probably send troops south to attack the Huns!"
Liu Yuan thought about it, and if he really hoped that Liu Kun of Jinyang would send troops to attack the Huns, he would not be too sincere. After all, Liu Kun himself and the Huns were enemies of Kou.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. In this way, if Liu Kun from Jinyang sends troops south, he can go straight to Pingyang, the enemy's nest of the Huns, and the Hulu will not dare to be too arrogant and plundering in Sizhou for a long time." Xun Sui said.
"However, although Liu Kun is famous, he is good at recruiting and commanding troops is not his specialty. In addition, the Jin army in Bingzhou has been defeated many times. I am afraid that he may not be able to shake the remaining troops of the Xiongnu and Hulu?"
Xi Jian next to him felt worried after hearing this.
Since Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou, stationed in Jinyang, he quickly stabilized the decline of the remnants of the Jin army in Bingzhou. However, in the past few years, the Jin army led by Liu Kun was uncertain about victory or defeat in the conquest of the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty, and did not fight for Bingzhou. No matter how much the Jin army expanded its power, it lost the last best place in the Hedong area.
Under such circumstances, scholars all over the world have understood that Liu Kun was definitely a generous righteous man who used the remnant army of Jinyang to fight against the Huns. However, his level of military strategy and planning was not enough to support this arduous task. Many people like him were like Xi Jian and other scholars were not optimistic about Liu Kun's outcome.
"Of course I understand what Duke Xi said. Therefore, we should not only encourage Liu Kun to send troops south to attack Jinyang, the capital of the Hulu, but also invite the Jin army from Yingchuan, Xingyang and other counties to send troops to attack the Hulu in Henan!" Xunsui said! arrive.
Most of the power of Yingchuan County is now in the hands of Xun Song, the prefect of Yingchuan in the Jin Dynasty. Of course, more local powerful Yingchuan are in a conservative and neutral state, whether they are Hulu or the Jin army. To protect himself, Xun Song could only muster more than 10,000 troops.
"Although my clan brother Xun Song is loyal to the Jin Dynasty, he has always lamented that the barbarians were raging and the people were in ruins. Now that we are fighting against the barbarians together, we will definitely get their help!" After Xun Sui said this, he looked carefully He glanced at Liu Yu.
Hearing this, Liu Yu smiled slightly and nodded.
"Xun Song is a loyal man who serves the people, I naturally know that!"
Since Liu Yu got rid of the name of the Jin Dynasty and proclaimed himself the emperor in Yanzhou and established the country, Xun Fan and other Yingchuan scholars who came with the Jin Dynasty expressed their surrender to Liu Yu, but several clans living in Yingchuan's hometown , but still insisted on being loyal to the Jin Dynasty.
Liu Yu knew that this situation was very normal for aristocratic families, and it was impossible for them to put clans hundreds of miles away in danger.
Liu Yu had already regarded this phenomenon of taking up official positions separately as normal.
As long as the Han army reaches Yingchuan County in the future, Xun Song and other Jin army forces will naturally switch to their own command.
"As for Li Ju and others in Xingyang County, as long as Xun Song and others come forward to agree, they will definitely be able to send troops to respond. In this way, Jinyang, Yingchuan, and Xingyang will send troops together, and the Hulu offensive against Hanoi will definitely be able to Relax a little!" Xun Sui, the regular attendant of Sanqi, said.
After hearing this, Liu Yu thought it was okay.
But at this time, Gongsun Sheng on the side shook his head and said something.
"When Zhao Gu led his army to defend Luoyang, he was eagerly awaiting reinforcements every day, but the soldiers and horses of Yingchuan and Xingyang counties could not advance westward. Now that Luoyang has been lost to the Hulu again, the whole Zhongzhou is shaken. Is it possible that at this time Can the soldiers and horses of Yingchuan and Xingyang counties be able to mobilize and drive back the barbarians?"
"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu and the barbarians are now trapped in Luoyang, and their troops are so powerful that everyone in the world knows it!"
"If we can defeat Hulu's sharp edge, then the people of the world will be able to win in one battle!"
As soon as Gongsun Sheng said these words, everyone present was shocked.
"Does what the minister said mean to persuade your majesty to send troops westward to fight the Hulu to the death?" Xun Sui, the regular servant of Sanqi, asked in surprise.
"This is inappropriate. Now that the treasury is scarce, the battle with the Hulu will probably be protracted. If the food and grass are not available, even a hundred thousand tigers will be in danger!" Hua Xiu, who was in charge of civil affairs, shook his head slightly and said.
"Yes, now that your Majesty has just returned from Jizhou's military expedition, he has already won the sacred land of Jizhou, and Wang Mi's rebel army has also been defeated. Yanzhou and Yuzhou can also have a year to save up, and wait until they have sufficient reserves in the future before sending out troops. Conquering the Hulu is the right way!" Secretary Jian Zuyue, who had been silent, also said something.
Seeing that everyone was speaking out against his opinions, Gongsun Sheng did not speak, but still waited for Liu Yu's response.
Liu foresees the look in Gongsun Sheng's eyes and knows that Gongsun Sheng's words are not a bluff. In such a scene, Gongsun Sheng has no need to bluff.
"I feel that it is still too early to use all our troops to attack the Hulu in the west. Although there is no war between our neighbors now, there are people in Youzhou and Jiangdong who are ready to make an attack. If the army is slightly defeated in Sizhou, it may also lead to the defeat of the Jin Dynasty. The army is taking advantage of the situation!" Liu thought for a moment and then continued.
"Moreover, although the Hulu troops are now victorious, most of the powerful dock owners in Hanoi County are brave and good at fighting. If reinforcements from Zu Ti arrive, it shouldn't be a problem to defend until autumn and winter!"
Liu Yu knew that if Gongsun Sheng's risky method really succeeded, it would definitely shock the world.
After all, the Xiongnu barbarians who had just fallen into Luoyang were completely defeated after encountering Liu Yu's Han army. From now on, as long as the Han army's Emperor Xuanlong flag appears on the battlefield, it is guaranteed to defeat the powerful Wu of Sizhou. The Lord looked at the wind and descended.
Perhaps, by conquering Luoyang in one go and returning the Han Dynasty to its old capital, it would soon be possible.
However, this series of plans are all based on the premise of taking risks. Once Liu Yu deploys all his troops to attack the Hulu and fails, or there is no need to fail, but the Huns just avoid fighting and Liu Yu will be left helpless. Returning with success will also greatly damage the strength of the Han army in Qingzhou.
The nearly 100,000 troops returned without success, which was enough to plan all Liu Yu's plans.
"That's right, Your Majesty, this is a major military and national matter, and the way to prosper or destroy it is not to take risks easily!" Xi Jian next to him immediately said.
"Furthermore, His Majesty has ordered Zu Ti to lead the army to assist Hanoi County, and also ordered Liu Tun to set up a mansion in Xingyang for Sili Xiaowei. In this way, facing each other across the river from the south to the north, we can interact with each other, and I am afraid that the Hulu are not the same. It’s so easy to capture Hanoi!”
After listening to the words of Liu Yu and Xi Jian, Gongsun Sheng on the side did not say any more. After all, the Han State today is no longer a separatist force that can determine the future with one army and one battle. The current time advantage is to stand on On the side of the Han army.
Hearing this, Liu Yu seemed to suddenly think of something.
He turned around and asked his secretary, Jian Zuyue.
"Master Zu, was there a memorial from Dunqiu and other counties yesterday, saying that Zu Ti was impeached for levying the treasury and Dingkou without authorization?"
Zu Yue heard this and quickly apologized.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. My brother is temporarily..."
Zu Yue, who just wanted to defend himself, was interrupted by Liu Yu before he could finish speaking.
"No, I don't want to accuse you!"
Liu Yu continued.
"Nowadays, most of Zu Ti's troops are refugees from Jizhou, and all supplies are collected locally. It would be inconvenient if we don't have the right to dispose of them."
Since Liu Yu personally led his army to capture most of Jizhou, the Jizhou army formed by Zu Ti moved south to the Dunqiu area to prepare for and respond to Sizhou.
"Immediately send people to recruit the Western General Zu Ti as envoy Chijie and commander-in-chief of all military forces in Hebei. All the prefectures and counties in Hebei will be mobilized according to his orders!"
Liu expected that Hanoi County must not be occupied by the Huns. Once the Huns completely occupied Hanoi County, attacking Jizhou from Bingzhou would not have to cross the Taihang Mountains. They would only need to go around to the plains of Hanoi, and the Huns cavalry would attack Jizhou. You can directly attack the heart of Jizhou.
As a result, the remnant Jiehu tribe in Xiangguo will definitely receive new support and may once again become a big threat.
Therefore, Liu Yu naturally did not hesitate to grant more power and support to Zu Ti who supported Hanoi County. Anyway, the Zu Ti clan is now under the protection of the Han army, and there is no need to worry about recurrence.
Sizhou, Hanoi County, Yewang City.
The slight south wind blew the burning smell in the Wild King City to all directions. The smell of burning wood was mixed with the smell of roasting meat.
"Your Majesty, everything in the Wild King's City has been cleaned up, and not a single person is left alive!" A Hun general with blood stains and soot on his face said respectfully to Liu Cong.
Smelling the aroma of death coming from Yewang City, Liu Cong's mind seemed to become clearer.
"Okay, from now on, I want all Jin people in the world to know that in the great cause of the restoration of the Imperial Han Dynasty, there is absolutely no place for these repetitive villains to survive!"
Yewang City in Hanoi County is the seat of Hanoi County. When the Xiongnu Hulu attacked Hanoi County a few years ago, Yewang City persisted in resisting under the leadership of Pei Zheng, the prefect of Hanoi. However, as the Hulu offensive increased, As the country grew stronger, the powerful forces in Yewang City united and betrayed Pei Zheng, the prefect of Hanoi, and surrendered the city to the Huns.
From then on, as the Hulu came and went, the families in Yewang City became powerful and capricious.
This time, carrying the military power of Zaikeluoyang, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong personally led his army across the river to attack Hanoi County. The first to bear the brunt was Ye Wangcheng, who had rebelled repeatedly not long ago.
After staring at the Yewang City that was completely engulfed in smoke and dust for a long time, the Huns Emperor Liu Cong finally withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the dense group of Jin prisoners not far away who were tied up like cattle and sheep.
"Drive all these young and strong people back to Pingyang and hand them over to the Great Dan Yu Liu Can to distribute them as slaves!"
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Congzhi ordered proudly.
After once again conquering Luoyang and winning, Liu Cong once again experienced the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction on the battlefield, which filled middle-aged Liu Cong with strength.
This kind of feeling cannot be obtained among the beauties in Pingyang Harem.
However, when he thought of the beauties in the backyard of Pingyang Palace, Liu Cong's heart became restless again, but it was a pity that he had no time to release them during the current battle.
Just when the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong was planning to go to the pile of Jin prisoners to see if he could find a few slave girls that he liked, a messenger cavalry hurried over under the leadership of his personal guards.
"Your Majesty, an urgent report from Bingzhou!" The messenger got off his horse and handed an urgent report with both hands.
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong frowned slightly when he heard this.
Bingzhou urgently reported, Liu Cong knew almost without guessing that Liu Kun, the governor of Jinyang and Bingzhou, must have sent troops to attack Hedong again.
Sure enough, after the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong opened the letter and read it, it was just as he had guessed. Moreover, this time the outcome of Liu Kun, the governor of Jin Bingzhou, was as usual.
"Haha, although Liu Yueshi is famous, he can't do anything to me!"
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Cong held up the letter and said loudly to the attendants, pro-army and ministers beside him.
"Your Majesty, did the Jin invaders fail again?" an attendant general asked.
"Liu Yueshi sent tens of thousands of troops to invade Hedong County, but within half a month, he was defeated and returned. My son Liu Can captured countless weapons, which was the biggest achievement in the past two years."
After hearing that the Great Dan Yu Liu Can, who was staying at his home base in Pingyang, easily defeated the Jin army, a group of Xiongnu generals and officials nearby congratulated Liu Cong one after another. They either praised the emperor's military virtues or praised the Great Dan Yu Liu Can for his bravery. As expected of His Majesty's blood.
However, all this made Liu Yi, the brother of the Han Dynasty emperor who had just arrived from Pingyang City, feel ashamed and angry.
