In the early stage of the Liaodong Campaign, Wuda and Loushan led their troops to assemble in the border area with Liaodong, making an attempt to attack Gongsundu's tribe in Liaodong. However, in the eyes of all parties, Wuda's real purpose was to attack Gongsunxuxu's tribe in Changli, which was extremely empty at the time.

, even though they were trying to confuse Gongsun Yue by pretending to be in the east and attacking in the west, who would have thought that after Wuda relaxed his vigilance after Gongsundu and transferred the main force to the east, he and Loushan would actually attack Liaodong in the end.

This is a typical attempt to seize the opportunity and attack the east!

After Wuda and Loushan led the Wuhuan troops to cross the Liaodong border, the Liaodong Campaign officially began. It has been a month and a half. At the beginning, Gongsun Kang and Liu Yi led 40,000 infantrymen to resist tenaciously in the border area. After being frustrated,

Immediately retreat to the east, then lure the enemy deep into the city, and only then gather large-scale troops to defend the key points of Tucheng in the central area.

During this offensive and defensive process, the commanders of both sides showed extraordinary military wisdom. Although the battle was in a stalemate, the scale was getting bigger and bigger. Both sides were trying to gather more troops, fight a bigger battle, and each

They are all seeking foreign aid, and their ultimate goal is to completely annihilate the opponent's forces.

The four Wuhuan tribes jointly sent troops, of course, to covet a large area of ​​land in Liaodong. Gongsundu also attempted to solve the Wuhuan problem in one battle and seize the territories of Supuyan, Loushan and Wuda. In short, neither side is fuel-efficient.

Deng, using all their methods, battled wits and courage with each other, which was very lively.

After personally experiencing the development of the entire Liaodong War, Zheng Yu put aside his initial contempt for the ancients and understood why a five-thousand-word "Tao Te Ching" would become a classic for later generations, while a "Sun Tzu Art of War"

Regarded as military textbooks by later generations, these are the crystallization of wisdom condensed from the experiences and lessons accumulated by the ancients in long-term battles.

Now, he is most worried about the battle developing out of control, so in addition to continuing to maintain a high level of vigilance, he also puts his main force in the best standby position, and continuously sends spies and wolves to attack Xianbei Yuwen Mohuai and Suli troops.

, and closely monitor Gongsundu's main force east of Mazi River.

He believed that as long as these three troops were closely guarded, the battle in Liaodong would not be able to make a big splash. At least, the troops he led would not suffer major damage.

The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the sun is shining brightly. It is a good weather today.

During this period, Zheng Yu often took Li Ji and Wu Min, escorted by Lei Bao and other soldiers, to the top of a hill a few miles away from Tucheng to watch the battle, and set up camp at the foot of the mountain. There was a huge rock on the mountain.

The three of them sat on the boulder, and Wu Min placed a piece of cloth on the boulder with various food and wine on it.

"It's a pity that we can't make tea here. My husband loves tea the most." Li Ji said regretfully.

Wu Min was busy with this and that, turned around and glanced around, and said regretfully: "This stone is a little bit rusty, my husband is not comfortable sitting on it, why don't you let Lei Bao go to the bottom of the mountain to get a chair? Then my husband will be stable."

Wouldn't it be more beautiful to sit on a big rock, look around at the hostile parties in Liaodong, and laugh and talk about world affairs?"

After saying that, she burst out laughing.

Ever since she called Zheng Yu "Ms.", she has completely regarded him as his wife. When she was with Zheng Yu, she seemed extremely considerate and docile. She would steal glances at him from time to time, her face always red. At this time, she noticed some unevenness on the stone.

She quickly sat behind him, pulled Zheng Yu's body into her arms, and let him use it as a backrest.

The tenderness and thoughtfulness shown in these details moved Zheng Yu's heart. He lay half-lying and rested his head on her chest. It was so soft that he was naturally reluctant to leave.

Next, the three of them carefully watched the confrontation between the two armies outside Tucheng, and the scene where the Wuhuan soldiers sent out large-scale troops to dig and fill the river. It was really spectacular. But the two women were thinking about how the war would develop in the end, especially Zheng Zheng

Yu said that no one can say that victory is certain until the last moment. Due to the superposition of various factors and the input of external forces, the battle situation becomes more complicated and confusing.

The key is that Gongsun Du still has several cards that he hasn't played yet.

Seeing thousands of troops digging and filling the river in front of Tucheng, Zheng Yu thought of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who organized large-scale battles in later generations, and thought to himself that these large-scale battles might be based on the ancients. Therefore, he was sensitive to Li Ji and Wu Min

Tan said: "The armies of both sides combined to invest hundreds of thousands of troops, with the goal of annihilating each other's enemies. This can be regarded as a decisive battle."

Li Ji took the words and said with a serious look: "There are only tens of thousands of regular troops. Behind them, there are a large number of civilians and second-line troops involved in transporting grain and grass supplies, carrying the wounded, repairing trenches, delivering ordnance, etc., which adds up to tens of thousands."

Damn it, I have never seen so many people gathering for war. It is really thrilling and scary. On the battlefield, the most worthless thing is human life."

Zheng Yu said softly: "They are all fighting for survival."

Wu Min took out a jug wrapped in cotton cloth, poured out a glass of wine and handed it to Zheng Yu. He said with a smile: "Let's not care about others and mind our own affairs first. My husband, please drink a glass of wine to warm yourself up today."

It’s getting colder and colder. How about we go back to the camp? There’s digging everywhere, the sky is filled with light dust, there’s really nothing to see.”

The three of them stayed for a while, and Li Ji said with a smile: "Let's go back. There is a hot quilt in the tent at the foot of the mountain, and it is a thousand times better to have your two ladies waiting on you than to be here." After saying that, she pulled Zheng Yu up.

, Wu Min quickly packed his things.

The three of them went down the mountain and returned to the camp. Li Ji quickly went to make tea. After a while, a cup of hot tea was served. Zheng Yu drank it happily. "It's better to stay in the camp. As Wu Min said, let's take care of ourselves."

One-third of an acre of land, making sure nothing goes wrong is more important than anything else. I judge that Xianbei's Yuwen Mohuai and Sulibu must take action. At this time, Gongsun Du has not played the final card yet."

The battle has been extremely interesting up to this point. In other words, since Zheng Yu joined in, the entire Liaodong campaign has become more confusing and interesting.

Now, in addition to the excavation and filling of the river in front of Tucheng in the sea of ​​​​people, the upper reaches are also competing for streams and rivers. One side wants to fill the moat with water, and the other side is also seizing control of the water source, with the purpose of digging another river channel.

They attempted to flood the depression behind Tucheng and block Gongsun Kang's retreat route.

After Li Ji finished making tea, she sat back next to Zheng Yu, held his arm, and said teasingly: "There is one more thing. Tadun, Zhao Yong, and Wang Meng are all running around on the border with their troops. I think, on the other side,

The two warring parties must be wide-eyed

Just watching my husband playing tricks, I don’t know what this little guy would think. He is a person who doesn’t like anyone except my husband and Song Ji. Should I send someone to supervise him and prevent him from being bad?

Follow the rules my husband said."

Thinking of Tadun and Zhao Yong, Wang Meng ran around the border area, and Zheng Yu and Wu Min both laughed.

The three of them hid in the tent and discussed the situation of the Liaodong war, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time in the tent.

But Tadun, Zhao Yong and Wang Meng were also hiding in the camp at this time, discussing Zheng Yu's motive for this move. Each of the three of them led 5,000 cavalry to come and go in the border area, making it very lively.

Both the enemy and ourselves were confused by this. In fact, the three of us are still confused now, thinking in their hearts, this is considered a confusing battle.

But if the master doesn't tell them, it's not easy for them to ask. They just have to strictly implement it.

The three led their troops to cross the border strictly from west to east during the day, and then sent troops back to Wuhuan territory at night. After several trips back and forth, even the birds on the trees were alarmed, let alone Gongsun Du's.

Spy?

However, they couldn't figure out what Zheng Yu meant by doing this.

Tadun, Zhao Yong, and Wang Meng each led their troops to make a big move here. Of course, they couldn't hide it from Gongsun Du's spies. Therefore, these spies immediately informed Gongsun Kanghe of Zheng Yu's troops and their movements.

Liu Yi and others, meanwhile, continued to closely monitor the border areas.

He also said that Tadun and the others were doing this seriously at first, pretending during the day and marching secretly at night. But later they found that they couldn't hide it from others, so they simply sent out troops to pretend, while the main force stayed in the border area and camped.

Tadun and the other three generals no longer participated directly, but sent their generals to attend to the occasion. The three of them gathered together all day long, thinking about what Zheng Yu meant.

Tadun asked: "Zhao Yong, Wang Meng, have you figured it out?"

"My lord must want to confuse the enemy?" Although Zhao Yong couldn't think of the reason in his heart, he admired Zheng Yu extremely and thought that his lord's move must have a deep meaning. Therefore, he started thinking about it as soon as he was free, and his head hurt.

I haven't figured it out yet.

"I think that in addition to confusing the enemy, the lord must also want to confuse Wu Da, Lou Shan, Su Buyan and others." Wang Meng said with certainty. He thought that even our own people were confused by the lord. Who else in the world could guess it?

Out of the lord's intention?

"I don't want to think about it anymore. I've been thinking about it for several days and my head hurts so much. I'll just ask my adoptive father directly some other time. But I think the adoptive father most likely wants to confuse the three of us." Tadun shook his head and said, and then said loudly.

Laugh.

However, Zhao Yong suddenly remembered something and quickly asked Tadun and Wang Meng, "Have any of your subordinates done anything to disturb the people? This is a big deal, so let someone go check it out immediately. Although my lord is friendly, he also loves us very much."

, but the premise is that you must not violate military discipline, otherwise no one will be able to do it, and the peeling of the skin will be minor. Tadun, my lord is most worried about you, do you want someone to check it, and make sure you don't make any mistakes."

Tadun raised his chest and said: "Don't worry, I know what is important and what is light. I will never violate the three chapters of my adoptive father's agreement. But you should check it out yourself first. We are going back and forth here, and the troops have moved a lot."

God, it is inevitable that horses will trample people's fields, crops or orchards, or take away people's weeds and other small things. Hehe, I will keep a close eye on it and will not do it, and you two won't know."

Speaking of this, Tadun smiled proudly. Zhao Yong and Wang Meng quickly sent people to investigate carefully. They would not dare to violate the slightest. They said in their hearts that the lord's Zheng family army is the most innocent army in this era.

However, Zheng Yu, Li Ji, and Wu Min did not go to the top of the mountain the next day, but Su Buyan, Wu Yan, and Nan Lou came to see Zheng Yu with wine and expensive gifts. The four of them sat down.

After that, they began to discuss the situation of the Liaodong war. Su Puyan

He said happily: "Wuda sent Loushan to lead 20,000 cavalry to seize the upper stream, and then prepared to dig a ditch to divert the stream water to the depression behind the Tucheng. By then, the place would be a wasteland. Look at Gongsun Kang.

How long can I hold on?"

When Nanlou and Wu Yan saw that Zheng Yu had just made a small suggestion, but it opened a gap in the stalemate battle situation, they couldn't help but admire him. Of course, they didn't dare to ask him to send troops again.

Su Puyan said in a deep voice: "The Governor is just talking, it seems that Gongsun Kang and Liu Yi will be wiped out, but I judge that they will withdraw before the ditch is formed, as long as we can move the moat in time

Fill it in, and they will never be allowed to evacuate safely, and the two sides will fight to the death here."

However, Zheng Yu thought that things in the world would not always go as he wished, and the other party would see it and would have appropriate countermeasures. He thought that at this time Liu Yi and Gongsun Kang had only one way to withdraw their troops. So he said solemnly: "You guys

Now that they are all here, I still want to explain that the rest of the war is your responsibility. My work is almost completed. Next, I have to deal with the possibility of Suli's troops going south and attacking Wuhuan in Chishan."
