Liu Yu's eyes were bright and he continued: "Since then, there has been a conflict between Yang Ding and the former Qin Dynasty. In the last battle of the Great Boundary Fort, he did not call Yang Ding as he did in the past. If Yang Ding was here, he probably would not lose. That way, if I make a mistake, I will have to continue to work alone. If my prediction is correct, within five days, Fu Deng's defeat will be reported. "
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Plan the strategy and win the battle thousands of miles away. Jinu, a fierce general like you is no worse than Zhang Liang in ancient times in this regard. Zhuge, I just received the news that Fu Deng's troops entered the abandoned bridge to fight with Yao." Qin's decisive battle was delayed by Yao Xing and Yin Wei splitting their troops into two directions. The army was unable to sustain supplies and was in a desperate situation of lack of water. It was finally defeated. Fu Deng fled alone and his troops were scattered. Yao Xing took advantage of the victory to pursue him and caught up with Fu at Ma Mao Mountain. Deng, the former Qin emperor was finally killed in battle, and his subordinates surrendered if they died, and his prince Fu Chong has defected to the Western Qin King to beg for help. The former Qin is finally dead!"
Liu Yu softly said "Oh": "It's exactly as expected. Let me guess again. The surrender of Western Qin to the former Qin was originally an act of dependence when it was weak, and it was only a nominal surrender. , it is not true that the former Qin was annexed. Now that the former Qin is finished, the Western Qin no longer has a reason to accept Fu Chong. Talking about old feelings will expel Fu Chong, and not thinking about kindness may directly kill the latter Qin to ask for rewards. You There should be the latest information here."
Liu Muzhi laughed and patted Liu Yu on the shoulder: "You are really good at predicting events. Yes, Qifu Qiangui drove Fu Chong away as soon as he received the news of Fu Deng's death. He was not allowed to stay for half a day. Now the poor former Qin prince took thousands of his remaining troops to defect to Yang Ding. He heard that Yang Ding personally led an army of 20,000 to the border to greet him. He did not go to find him. Yao Qin, who killed Fu Deng, wanted to take revenge, but he was planning to attack the Western Qin to punish him. It seems that he had planned it for a long time and was waiting for the former Qin to be finished so that he could send troops."
Liu Yu nodded: "The reason why Western Qin dared to expel Fu Chong is not that simple. It should be that he secretly colluded with Yao Qin to drive away Fu Chong and make him join the army with his nominal subordinate Yang Ding. If the minister is strong, the two armies will inevitably be at odds and conflicts will arise. The combat effectiveness is not as good as that of Yang Ding's army. In addition, the former Qin Dynasty is newly dead, and the subordinates are panicked. Their families are all in the hands of the later Qin Dynasty. They are already mourning the army. This kind of army has no fighting spirit. The mourning army will cause great damage to morale. Although Yang Ding is brave, he does not have the talent to lead a large army. Otherwise, he would not have been able to take advantage of Western Qin for so many years. This time he sent troops, he thought it was It’s a good opportunity to destroy Western Qin, but in my opinion, maybe he will follow the same footsteps as Fu Deng!”
Liu Muzhi murmured: "In terms of your judgment and grasp of the general trend of the world and the battle on the battlefield, except for Murong Chui, I am afraid that no one in this world can match you. Yes, the military report came almost at the same time, After Fu Chong and Yang Ding joined forces, they followed the escape route and led Yang Ding's army to counterattack Western Qin. However, Western Qin had already made preparations. An ambush was set up on the escape route, allowing the former army to fake defeat and attracting Yang Ding to pursue it. They lost touch with each other, and finally in the Pingchuan area, they sent the most powerful general in the country, Qifu Yizhou, his younger brother who had returned from Qifu, with 30,000 elite soldiers to fight against Yang Ding. In one battle, he killed Yang Ding and Fu Chong, and at the same time killed his enemy. There are as many as 17,000 soldiers and horses in the pool. The former Qin Dynasty is truly over."
Liu Yu's expression changed: "What, Yang Ding died like that? My God, his entire army was really wiped out."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Because he advanced with light troops all the way, the soldiers were tired, and the opponent was waiting for work, and they were all the elites of the Western Qin Dynasty. Yang Ding failed to attack the enemy's central army several times, but was defeated by thousands of arrows from the opponent." He was hit by an arrow and died. Qiu Chi's army, which had lost its leader, collapsed and was chased all the way by the enemy's cavalry. This was the result."
Liu Yu sighed: "I didn't expect that the chaotic war in Guanzhong that had been going on for ten years would actually be decided in this way. Yao Xing's Later Qin won Guanzhong and Longdong, the land outside the mountains, while Qi Fu's Western Qin Occupying Longxi and Hehuang, bordering Murong Tuyuhun to the south, and Houliang to the west, it can be regarded as a powerful force. Next, the Western Qin should become a vassal to the Later Qin and fight against the eastward advance of the Houliang with all its strength, and then the Later Qin will destroy the Former Qin in one fell swoop. We need to rest and recuperate for a few years, wait and see the situation in the northern grasslands and the outcome of the Wei-Yan conflict, and then decide on the direction of development, whether to go north, west, or leave the Guan and move eastward."
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Yao Xing is a kind man, quite like Fu Jian. After he defeated the former Qin Dynasty, he did not retaliate against the other party's soldiers. He stopped his subordinates from demanding to kill all the soldiers of the former Qin Dynasty who had eaten human flesh. It is almost the complete opposite to Yao Chang's character. The battles in Guanzhong have been brutal for many years, and he has lost all humanity and is almost like a beast. Now there is finally a monarch who is still a human to rule, which can be regarded as a blessing for the people of Guanzhong. However, such a situation Come on, it will be much more difficult for me, the Jin Dynasty, to make the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong."
Liu Yu's eyes turned gloomy and he murmured: "I once saw with my own eyes what kind of hellish life the people in Guanzhong lived since Murong Chong's rebellion. No matter who it is, even if they are not governed by the Jin Dynasty, as long as they It is a blessing to have a breath of life, to live, and not to survive like a wild beast by eating people. As for the future, let’s talk about it later. Yao Xing can help our Jin Dynasty appease the people of Guanzhong for a few years. It is not a bad thing. In the future, I I will take it back to Guanzhong with my own hands."
As he spoke, a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and dozens or hundreds of roosters also began to crow from nearby villages within a hundred miles. The soldiers who were about to set off had already packed their bags and arrived at the school grounds. They gathered there, and Liu Laozhi and a group of generals had been waiting there for a long time. Liu Yi didn't know when he arrived on the high platform of the school grounds, stood behind a group of generals, and watched Liu Laozhi start to speak impassionedly. , inspiring speech.
In the cheers of the soldiers, Liu Laozhi's voice became higher and higher. In conjunction with his powerful gestures, the emotions of the sergeants on the school field also reached the highest point. They stamped their feet and clapped their hands. Wearing the armor on his body, he shouted loudly: "Beifu, Beifu, mighty, mighty." In addition to the more than 200 people who were about to set off, thousands of people gathered on the school field were all shouting like this. This scene seemed like setting off for an expedition. The oath before.
Liu Yu slowly walked onto the high platform. Among the heavily armed generals, his figure in black clothes looked particularly special. Liu Laozhi looked at him and nodded: "Send slave, Is there anything else you want to say?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly, turned to the more than 200 people in the audience who were looking at him, and said calmly: "Now, let's go!"
