Murong Lan nodded: "Liu Yu, I don't want to hide it from you. That's it. Murong Wei has already killed Dayan once. We can't give them a second chance. Moreover, Murong Chong has been the male favorite in Chang'an for many years. , his familiarity with the Qin Dynasty's palace is unparalleled, and he knows better than anyone else where Fu Jian's jade seal is, so we must sneak into Chang'an and get the jade seal before he succeeds. Otherwise, Murong Wei will get the jade seal. , regaining the status, then it is possible to occupy Guanzhong and dominate the world, I think this is what you, the Jin State, do not want to see."
Liu Yu sneered and said: "Your Murong Chui doesn't want to see it, why do you want to involve us? The fighting between you Murong family members is your business. Is there anything we don't want to see?"
Murong Lan said calmly: "Don't you want to regain Chang'an? If Murong Wei and the others have a reputation, they can use this national jade seal to command Guanzhong. Guanzhong is a place of physical beauty. Once Tongguan is defended and the interior is stable, what do you think? It's difficult to reach the sky if you attack it. Even if you go in, you won't be popular. If you can't attack Chang'an, you will have to retreat sooner or later. Wasn't that how Huan Wen came out with hatred back then? If your Jin country wants to regain the lost territory, you can't let a stable and powerful government appear in Guanzhong. Power, I think you should understand this."
Liu Yu's eyes were shining. From a rational point of view, he knew that Murong Lan was right. But from deep inside, when he knew that Murong Lan was still using him and Jin this time, he still couldn't hide his feelings. I hate it, no matter what, the feeling of being used as a gunman is really not good.
Liu Yu looked at Murong Lan and said in a deep voice, "You have gone to see my husband first and he agrees?"
Murong Lan nodded: "If my husband doesn't agree, how can I talk to you about these things now? Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you one thing. After Murong Nong raised his army, the famous Qin general Shi Yue led thousands of The remaining elite soldiers set out from Yecheng to go to Hebei to attack him, hoping to eliminate him and my eldest brother before they meet up."
Liu Yu frowned and said: "That's a big mistake! The most important thing in counterinsurgency is not the military, but the people's hearts. Generally, when a rebellion first starts, people's hearts are unstable. Only a few people follow the rebels, while the majority are Wait and see, depending on the strength of the two sides before joining which side. Murong Chui expanded rapidly in the Central Plains, but most of his subordinates were rabble-rousers who came to join him. What should be done at this time is to interact with the elite of Yecheng and the Luoyang defenders. , Yecheng's elite troops guarded the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River, while the Luoyang defenders came out to harass them, making it impossible for them to look at each other."
"Although Murong Chui has a large number of troops, as you just said, they are mostly strong men from all walks of life who have come and returned. The troops are not integrated, and they are dragging their families with them. Once they cannot win quickly, they will easily collapse without a fight. Murong Nong does not have him. My father's reputation won't matter to the people for a while, and they only need to be monitored by partial troops. The main force in Yecheng should definitely deal with Murong Chui. Once Murong Chui is allowed to cross the Yellow River, the situation will be uncontrollable!"
Murong Lan stared at Liu Yu motionless for a long time before sighing: "Liu Yu is indeed Liu Yu. When it comes to military affairs, his vision and judgment are really not inferior to my elder brother's. In fact, what my elder brother is most afraid of is Yecheng." If the Qin army follows your strategy, as long as they hold the crossing of the Yellow River, Zhai Bin and the others will disperse without a fight in less than two months. With more than 200,000 people, food is a big problem. The states and counties in the Central Plains cannot afford it. With so many people, only by going to Hebei and calling on the various counties and counties to come for reinforcements can such a large force be maintained for a long time. So when the eldest brother knew that Shi Yue did not dare to come to fight him, but went to Lieren to fight against Nong'er. , but I’m so happy. Only then did I feel relieved to let me come over to find you.”
Liu Yu curled up his lips: "The Murong Nong and Murong Lin you are talking about, I met them when I was in Shouchun. They are indeed not ordinary people. Shi Yue thinks he can find a soft persimmon to pinch him, but he is afraid he will lose badly. Tragic. As a coach, once you have fear, your basic judgment will be gone. And because you are afraid and turn to face enemies that you think are weak, but they are not weak, you will have the heart to underestimate the enemy. These two emotions let go When we are together, we will turn from being conservative to being impatient, and wanting a quick victory is a taboo for military strategists.”
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "You guessed it right again. I just received intelligence. After receiving the news of Shi Yue's attack, Nong'er smiled at his panicked subordinates and said that although Shi Yue was leading elite troops, I dare not fight against the King of Yan, but come here to join others, because I am afraid of the King of Yan and look down on us. I want to defeat us first, and then go back to fight with the King of Yan with the power of victory, so I will be eager to fight."
"Lin'er also agreed with Nong'er, so the two of them devised a strategy. They first arranged the weak soldiers in formation and blocked them along the way. When they encountered Shi Yue's troops, they were defeated. They lost several battles in a row, and Nong'er also pretended to lead his troops to flee north. , leaving the city empty. Shi Yue didn't know what the plan was, and pursued all the way, but was intercepted by the ambush set by Lin'er, and Nong'er also led his army to fight back. As a result, Shi Yue's troops were defeated and almost the entire army was wiped out. Shi Yue himself also He was killed among the rebels."
Liu Yu nodded: "As expected, as I just analyzed, Shi Yue, as the coach, has changed his mentality. He does not dare to beat Murong Chui, but he despises Murong Nong's strength. If he is eager for success, he will He fell into the trap, but he is also a veteran general after all, and his soldiers are also the elites of the Di tribe in Yecheng. Murong Nong's soldiers are mostly newly attached rabble, so it will not be easy to eat him head-on."
"So Murong Nong first sent a weak army forward. These people could not defeat them even if they fought with all their strength. They collapsed at the first touch. This was not a false defeat. Shi Yue may have been on guard at first, but after winning a few battles and seeing the enemy abandon the city and flee, he I will no longer take it for granted, and will lead my elite troops to abandon the large troops and pursue them wildly. Troops on forced march are the easiest to be ambushed."
"During the Warring States Period, Sun Bin of the State of Qi ambushed Marshal Pang Juan of the State of Wei on Maling Road. This was the case. Shi Yue paid the price with his life for his arrogance. These more than 10,000 elites of the State of Qin were the mobile troops Yecheng could dispatch. Once it is lost, it will be like Fu Hui in Luoyang, no longer able to attack and can only be trapped in Yecheng."
Murong Lan smiled and said: "Everything is as you said. After Shi Yue's defeat and death, Hebei was shaken. Most states and counties began to rebel, and either expelled or killed Qin's generals and responded to our great Yan. Now among Jizhou in Hebei, only Jizhou The governor of Fucheng, Fu Ding, guards the capital, the Baron of Gaocheng, Fu Shao, is in his country, the Marquis of Gaoyi, Fu Liang, and the Marquis of Chonghe, Fu Mo, guard Changshan, and the Marquis of Gu'an, Fu Jian, guards Zhongshan. Except for these important towns, almost the entire territory belongs to me, Dayan. My eldest brother supports me. We have more than 200,000 soldiers besieging Yecheng. We believe that conquering Yecheng and unifying Hebei will be just around the corner."
Liu Yu shook his head slowly: "I'm afraid you'll be happy too early this time. Yecheng will never be captured so easily!"
