Chapter 126 Liaodong Intelligence
The next day, Lu Ziqi returned to Liucheng. This time he went deep into Xuantu and Liaodong to investigate. Then he entered the palace without stopping and reported to Zheng Yu the information he had collected about Gongsundu of Liaodong. Zheng Yu quickly brought him into the reception room for a secret discussion. Song
Ji was also present. After Lu Ziqi knelt down and bowed, he was helped up by Zheng Yu and sat down. The maid brought tea and snacks and stepped back.
He led his troops to conduct an in-depth investigation into Liaodong this time, allowing Zheng Yu to have a preliminary understanding of Gongsun Du's movements.
Gongsun Du was the first prince among the various princes in the Three Kingdoms to openly break away from the rule of the Han Dynasty. He had tens of thousands of troops, divided Liaodong, conquered east and north, and captured a large amount of territory. By the end of the Three Kingdoms period, the Gongsun family dominated Liaodong and lived a good life.
Happy. In fact, after returning to the Three Kingdoms, Zheng Yu has been looking for a suitable location for development. Obviously, Liaodong is the best place. Tian Chou, Cai Yong and Su Wan are all very optimistic about Liaodong's geographical location and future development.
There are frequent wars in the Central Plains, and Liaodong is located on the border with no strong enemies around it. It is really a good place to recuperate. Ever since Su Wan was determined to be optimistic about Liaodong, Zheng Yu took advantage of it, but the opportunity was not available, so he postponed the use of troops.
But other work did not stop, including cultivating power in Liaodong, which had already started before he came to Wuhuan.
Moreover, the Yuyang Guo family has always had close business contacts with some businessmen in Liaodong, and they have many friends, who can make good use of them in the future. Seeing that Zheng Yu was in a daze, seeming to be thinking about a problem, Lu Ziqi stopped talking and waited. After a long time, Song Jicai
He pushed Zheng Yu to wake him up. Zheng Yu said sheepishly: "I was distracted. I was thinking about something in Liaodong. Zi Qi, please continue."
Lu Ziqi chuckled and said seriously: "My lord, Gongsun Du's actual strength is 50,000 infantry and cavalry, including 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 siege infantry. The other 30,000 are quasi-infantry and cavalry. Although they are not included in the establishment, they are
They can be assembled to fight at any time. In addition, Gongsun Du has hoarded a large amount of food and supplies, and indeed has the intention to launch military operations abroad."
Zheng Yu was shocked when he heard that Gongsun Du had so many troops. This era was different from later generations. The population was still very small. With such a large army, it means that the population of the common people controlled by Gongsun Du exceeded two to three million. "Yes."
Have you heard that they want to march eastward to seize Lelang, Daifang and other counties?" Zheng Yu asked seriously. Lelang and Daifang counties are located east of the Yalu River and north of the Han River in North Korea. They belong to the territory of the Han Dynasty at this time.
Lu Ziqi said repeatedly: "Have you heard about it? I also heard that they are trying to use troops against Ma Bian to the south of the Han River and Goguryeo to the north of Liaodong. But according to the judgment of my subordinates, Gongsun Du will not make any major military actions this year. He is currently
The main thing is stability, after all, I just took it off
It would be extremely unwise to abandon the rule of the Han Dynasty and establish a separate regime in Liaodong." Zheng Yu also considered this and thought, wouldn't Wuda and Loushan know about the military situation in Liaodong? Therefore, they knew Zheng Yu
Talking about attacking Liaodong is purely a cover-up.
Zheng Yu thought for a while and then said: "It seems that Wuda and Loushan have only one direction of attack, which is Changli." Then, he told Lu Ziqi that he must fully monitor the whereabouts of Wuda and Loushan and go deep into them.
Conduct detailed investigation within the tribe's territory, "I want the most detailed and accurate information. At the same time, you are the Wolf Fang, you can play your role."
Later, Zheng Yu sent an order to Yan Rou and Zheng Da to move 3,000 infantry from the 5,000 guards outside the city to the city, and to move the 5,000 imperial cavalry inside the city to the outside. In this way, there were 7,000 cavalry stationed outside the city.
Including Yan Rou's 1,000 cavalry, a total of 8,000 elite cavalry can be secretly dispatched to attack Wuda and Loushan.
Wu Da and Lou Shan secretly left Liucheng and returned to the territory of their subordinates. Zheng Yu knew that they were about to prepare for action, so he asked his subordinates to start taking action secretly. He also told Tadun that they were only secretly preparing for the war and when to take action.
You must strictly obey Zheng Yu's orders.
Two days later, Sun Qi came over from Jicheng and brought a lot of letters from home, which made Zheng Yu overjoyed.
"My lord, my mistress and the others arrived at Jicheng from Luoshen Valley. They all brought letters, so my subordinates will not say anything. In addition, Taishi Ci and Lord Zhao Yun personally selected and trained 500 elite soldiers. As my lord's personal guard, they are of extremely high quality.
, my subordinates have also been brought this time. Also, Langya has expanded to more than 500 people. This time, I have brought 100 Langya team members to obey the Lord’s order..."
After hearing what Sun Qi said, Zheng Yu was overjoyed and hurried back to the west wing with a pile of letters in his arms to read them. Each of them wrote long letters home, with deep thoughts revealed between the lines, which moved Zheng Yu deeply.
In this era, it is very serious that men are superior to women. For women, love is more extravagant, and what they need more is safety and protection. Zheng Yu is a strong man in the world, so unknowingly, there are many peerless beauties around him.
In addition, Zheng Yu revealed the characteristics of respect for women in later generations, which moved them even more. Therefore, their love for Zheng Yu became deeper and deeper, and it became increasingly difficult to extricate themselves. Even a talented woman like Cai Yan could not help but fall in love.
She fell in love with him and fell in love very deeply, which can be clearly felt from the lines in her words.
"I miss them so much!" Zheng Yu sighed in his heart.
Song Ji walked in, lay beside him, and looked at him affectionately, "My husband, Yu'er, like the other sisters, loves her husband to death. Thinking that it will not be easy to see her husband in the future, Yu'er's heart is bleeding, and she wants to
Your Majesty, please take Yu'er away before the time comes. I don't want to stay in Liucheng anymore." In fact, Song Ji is a very independent and capable woman. She fell in love this time and found it difficult to extricate herself.
Zheng Yu saw the deep affection in her eyes and said emotionally: "Liucheng can't survive without you. When everything is stable, we will return to Jicheng. We will never be separated from now on."
"Yes!" Song Ji lay in his arms, obedient and gentle. Then, Wu Wu and Wu Yue also walked in, held his arms, and looked at him affectionately.
Wuda and Loushan were in action, and Zheng Yu was not idle either. He went out of the city from time to time to inspect the troops. At the same time, various combat materials began to be stored in camps outside the city, ready to go at any time. Lu Ziqi led his troops directly to Wuda.
There were secret investigations in the territories of Heloushan and Sun Qi, and Sun Qi also began to intervene. Therefore, various intelligences were continuously passed to Zheng Yu, making him well aware of the movements of Wuda and Loushan.
He called Sun Qi and asked him to lead one hundred Langya team members and five hundred elite soldiers to enter Changli first, monitor Gongsun Yue's troops, and try to understand Gongsun Zan's northward advance in time. Everything was ready, and Zheng Yu was at a loss.
After coming down, he was waiting for news from Lu Ziqi. As soon as it was known that Wu Da and the Loushan cavalry were dispatched, he planned to lead his troops to secretly march south.
But Song Ji firmly opposed this. "My husband, you can't go. Firstly, Yu'er won't allow you to go deep into the dangerous area. Besides, the sisters also gave the same instructions. Secondly, my husband must stay in Liucheng and completely ignore this matter."
Qing, although we are not afraid of others saying it, it is better not to say it if we can. As long as my husband shows up in Liucheng from time to time, the death of Wu Da and Lou Shan will never be blamed on my husband."
Song Ji's expression was extremely determined, and what she said made sense. Zheng Yu had no choice but to give up the idea of personally leading his troops to the south, and said helplessly: "Okay, I will keep Liucheng to accompany Yu'er, Wu Wu and Wu Yue.
, it can be regarded as sitting in the center.”
