Liu Yu's eyes were bright and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "If Fu Pi is a wise commander, he should stand firm and defend Huoyi. In less than two years, Xi Yan will be dispersed. But based on my understanding of Fu Pi, he does not have that determination." force."
"Moreover, the Huozhou Canyon is hundreds of miles long. It is impossible to defend every aspect. The Xiyan Army's army may not be able to pass through, but it can be quickly crossed by small groups of cavalry in batches. Murong Yong is a clever commander, and he will definitely send small groups of cavalry to attack In various places in Jinzhong, there is no need to seize cities and land. As long as they kill and plunder people everywhere and burn granaries, creating a sign that Fu Pi cannot protect his people, Fu Pi will be forced to send out troops to fight decisively, because his emperor is self-reliant. Yes, this is why he has to prove himself, as soon as the Qin army comes out, they will definitely be defeated!"
Xiang Jing laughed: "Brother Jinu has seen clearly, but if the Qin army takes the initiative to attack, will they definitely lose? Even if the battle is unfavorable, they can retreat to the canyon to defend."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "It's not that easy. Infantry is good for defense, and cavalry is good for attack. This is common sense among military strategists. If the Qin army only leaves the canyon with a small force, it will be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. Only by concentrating all the troops and completing their efforts in one battle can the Qin army be successful." There is a possibility of victory. Murong Yong went to the grassland before. At that time, I thought he was joining forces with the Dugu tribe and Tuoba Kuduo to return to Guandong via the northern grassland. But now it seems that he also made two-pronged preparations. He may have taken away the cavalry himself. , is a sign of weakness to lure Fu Pi to attack. After all, if you are far away from the grassland, there is no security in occupying Bingzhou. Besides, if hundreds of thousands of tribesmen want to pass through the Hetao, I am afraid Liu Weichen will not agree."
"Fu Pi had been holding back before. He probably listened to Wang Yong's words. This Wang Yong was the son of Wang Meng and the governor of Youzhou. He traveled thousands of miles to join Fu Pi. Although he didn't have the talents of his father, he had these basic skills. I can still see the principles of the art of war very clearly, and he has a son. Although he is young, I have seen it with my own eyes. He is very powerful. Even my identity when I went to the grassland was revealed to this boy. I am afraid that this man is Wang Meng. If you have the opportunity, you must find a way to get your talent."
Tan Pingzhi opened his mouth in surprise: "Can a child see your identity? How is it possible?"
Liu Yu sighed: "If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't believe it, but it's so miraculous. Therefore, Fu Pi was able to endure it for two years without taking the initiative to attack the Xiyan Army. It must have come from Wang Yong, or perhaps Zhang Hao is a bitter remonstrance from veteran generals like Zhang Hao. But I heard that Zhang Hao is now seriously ill and will die soon. After all, Wang Yong is a civil servant and has insufficient influence in the army. Those former Qin troops in Guandong have never seen Xiyan. The army was powerful. If Murong Yong had used some small tricks to make some of his tribesmen disperse, Fu Pi might not have been able to suppress the main fighting faction in the army. Moreover, Fu Deng had repeatedly defeated Yao Chang in the Longyou area, and his momentum was hidden. There is a tendency to override the emperor Fu Pi. If Fu Pi does not move, he will be regarded as a coward, and this emperor may not be able to continue."
Wei Yongzhi nodded: "Listening to Jinu's analysis, Fu Pi must fight this battle, and it will undoubtedly be defeated. If he can keep some defenders in Jinyang, can he at least defend himself after the defeat? What about Bingzhou? This Fu Pi may not be good at other things, but he still has a few tools to defend the city."
Liu Yu laughed: "I bet you that Fu Pi will personally lead the expedition, and if he loses, he will not escape back to Jinyang. He will either die on the battlefield, or he will only learn from his younger brother Fu." Hong, fled to Dajin."
Meng Longfu looked at Liu Yu with a puzzled face: "Why is this?"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Because he is afraid of Fu Zuan more than he is afraid of Murong Yong. Fu Jian was benevolent and righteous to the people of the world, but he just failed to deal with the problem of intraclan fighting. This is probably the fate of the country of the Hu people. There must be no long-term reasons. I think Wang Yong and Zhang Hao must be making a last-ditch effort to stop Fu Pi's impulse, but the outcome cannot be changed. Once Murong Yong eliminates Fu Pi and annexes Bingzhou, Luoyang will It will become a place where he can directly attack, and it is also the easiest place to attack. Our trip to Luoyang must be accelerated. Brothers, is there anyone willing to set off with me, Liu Yu? "
Liu Daogui, who had been silent all this time, was the first to stand up: "Brother, take your younger brother with you this time."
Tan Pingzhi laughed: "Ji Nu, don't abandon us this time. Let's go together."
Almost everyone stood up and raised their fists as if they were raising a sword on the battlefield: "Brother Jinu, let's go together!"
Liu Yu looked around, his eyes sparkling, and his lightning-like gaze swept over the excited and expectant faces. At this moment, he felt just like when he and his brothers first entered the battle formation during the Battle of Junchuan many years ago. He looked both expectant and a little uneasy, full of hope for the future. He said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you must think about it. This time, the court will not give you any rewards, and we will have no status. Even after the victory, there will be nothing." As a reward, we are destined to be buried in the dust and corners. Except for the soldiers and civilians of Luoyang, not many in the Jin Dynasty know about our hard work.:
"However, I believe that as a pure soldier, life and death can be ignored, let alone these external things. Luoyang is the old capital of our Jin Dynasty, and it is an important town in the Central Plains that we recaptured with blood and sweat during the last Northern Expedition. That's it. I'm sorry for everyone's loss, so this time, we don't seek fame or profit, we just want to have a clear conscience. Those aristocratic families said that our Beifu army only lost the battle of Yecheng because we were greedy for money. This time, we will Let their dog eyes clearly see what we, the men of the Beifu Army, are up to! Those are the four words: protect the home and the country!"
A deep voice rang out: "Liu Yu, I am not a man from the Beifu Army, nor am I a soldier, but I recognize you as a person. I don't know anything about the generals or families in the Jin Dynasty. I only know that in Jingkou, in Here, there is a man named Liu Yu who is worthy of following me throughout my life and sharing life and death with him."
Everyone turned their attention to the source of the sound, and saw a man over eight feet long, as strong as an ox, wearing short clothes that could not hide his iron-like muscles, sitting at the back of the crowd, looking at Liu Yu. His eyes were full of admiration.
Liu Yu laughed: "Brother Da Zhuang, when did you come?"
As he spoke, he pointed at this person and said to everyone: "This person's surname is Kuai Ming'en, nicknamed Da Zhuang. He is from the Central Plains and later lived on the grasslands. He is a new friend I have made over the past year. Da Zhuang, you are going to Luoyang. Do you agree, peach girl?"
Quin grinned, and the air came straight into his big mouth with one front tooth missing: "My mother-in-law said that if you follow Brother Jinu, you will walk through mountains of swords and fire. If you don't live a decent life, you won't be allowed to go home!"
Liu Yu walked up to Kuai En and patted him on the shoulder: "Da Zhuang, let's go together."
