The autumn rain hangs densely under the eaves like a curtain.
After trying it a few times, God finally gave him a big one, which made the people of Luoyang very happy.
Sima Yue lay on the porch, watching the raindrops fall quietly.
He likes to do this now, as if he can think quietly in the rain.
The staff were in another side hall, having dinner and talking loudly.
The hottest topic is undoubtedly the ongoing war.
Liu Han was greedy. After they discovered Da Jin's weakness, they tried their best to bite him, trying to tear off a large piece of meat or even swallow it whole.
No matter how stupid the staff are, they can still see it.
No matter how heartless people are, they are beginning to face up to this problem.
Yu Zhi sat on the edge, listening to the sound of rain hitting the window, his expression as melancholy as the bleak autumn rain.
Money is no longer so good because my life may be at risk.
"The Huns' invasion of Hongnong was actually a test." Guo Xiang, the bookkeeper who was once obsessed with metaphysics, frowned and said.
Liu Yu and others looked at him in surprise.
This is not Mr. Guo’s style.
In the past, he only took power and excluded others, but he was not very enthusiastic about general affairs and military affairs. Why did the sun rise from the west today and take the initiative to stir up military topics?
Yu Zhi glanced at him.
He understands Guo Xiang's worries very well, because he was like this before.
After the nest is overturned, will the eggs be intact? If the court is gone, none of them will end well.
Several teams gathered in the hall, including the staff of the Donghai Palace, the staff of the Situ Palace, and the former staff of the Yanzhou Mu Shogunate - Situ had resigned from Yanzhou Mu, but the staff did not disperse.
After Guo Xiang spoke, the next person to speak was Yu Zhi's good friend, Xie Kun and Xie Youyu, who was later known as one of the "Eight Great Masters of Jiangzuo".
Just listen to him say: "Zixuan is right. Liu Cong attacked Hongnong because he wanted to try the possibility of going south. Shao Xun defeated Yuan Yan in one battle, and the thieves must have been in panic. Liu Yuan has been short of food.
, after this defeat, it is unlikely to come back again."
Huh? Guo Xiang glanced at him in surprise.
Although Xie Kun is famous for his Confucianism, he is still quite knowledgeable in military affairs. Why does he think that the Huns will not come? Am I wrong?
Yu Zhi felt a little at ease after hearing what Xie Kun said.
It does seem to make some sense.
But he was still a little uneasy, so he looked at Liu Yu again.
Liu Yu sat in the middle, smiling and saying nothing.
After seeing more and more people turning their attention to him, he coughed and said, "Liu Cong was defeated. I don't expect him to come back this year."
"How can you see it?" Yu Zhi felt excited after hearing this, but he still asked.
"In the battle of Hongnong, Master Shao-Wang was brave and good at fighting. How could the Xiongnu dare to come after seeing the power of heaven?" After briefly saying this, Liu Yu felt uncomfortable, so he emphasized several other points: "The other point is
Before he captured the two counties of Pingyang and Hedong, Liu Yuan was short of food. He searched for food everywhere in Xinxing, Taiyuan, Xihe and other places. Now he has captured Pingyang and the two counties of Hedong, but the time is still short and the reserves are not enough. There is insufficient food, why?
Raising troops?"
Liu Yu is still very good.
Liu Yuan originally occupied the three counties of Yanmen, Xinxing, Xihe and most of Taiyuan. A few years ago, due to insufficient food, he moved to Liting, where he stored food in his dining hall and sent the chief minister, Bu Yu, to transfer food from other places.
Zuoguocheng, Lishi, Liting, Puzi, and Pingyang were Liu Yuan's "capitals" in these years.
In addition to war factors due to constant migration, food issues cannot be ignored.
"Furthermore, he lured Daibei and Hexi to fight with barbarians. The harvest was not abundant, and the chief may not be willing to listen to him." Liu Yu continued.
In addition to the forces directly under Liu Yuan, there are also affiliated forces - mostly miscellaneous.
Affiliated forces can be used by it, and even neutral forces can be used, as long as they are "induced with benefits."
Shi Le has been galloping across Hebei recently. He has 20,000 cavalry under his command. Except for Wuhuan, most of them are Zahu from Daibei recruited.
As long as they have money and food, they can invest in anyone.
Liu Kun knew this well.
But the loyalty of these bastards is just that. Once they can't grab something, they may not come if they call again next time.
"Thirdly, in another two months, the river will be frozen, and the ice will be thin and brittle, making it impossible to pass, and it will be inconvenient to build a pontoon bridge. If the Huns come and the war drags on for a long time, they will not be able to leave."
"In the end, Situ was stationed in Luoyang, and everyone was united and his morale was high. I don't think the Xiongnu dared to cause trouble."
After Liu Yu said these four points, he smiled reservedly and stopped talking.
Everyone was talking a lot.
Yu Zhi was very happy when he heard this.
Liu Qingsun is indeed talented, and everything he said is true.
It seems that the Huns will not come this year.
If it doesn't come this year, it's even less likely to come next spring. After all, it's more difficult to raise military rations during a lean period.
That’s it!
Thinking of this, Yu Zhi bowed his hands and expressed his admiration.
In addition, he also sincerely thanked Shao Xun.
Let's not talk about other things about this niece-in-law. He is really good at fighting. Even Liu Cong was beaten back by him.
If the current situation is like this, the importance of my niece and son-in-law is increasing day by day, and I should be able to get closer to him from now on.
"Qing Sun, I admire you so much." After listening to Liu Yu's words, Guo Xiang also relaxed his brows.
It's a year if it lasts for a year.
Shao Xun is still useful, at least he knocked back the ambitions of the Huns in Hongnong.
Others also praised it.
There are some words that they like to hear and are willing to believe.
They love to hear Liu Yu's analysis, which is of course right.
At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside.
A servant walked up to Liu Yu and whispered a few words.
After Liu Yu heard this, he immediately stood up, straightened his robes, went out and approached Sima Yue.
"You have been planning for a long time, but has there been any result?" Sima Yue asked softly.
"Yes." Liu Yu was confident.
"Talk about it."
"The Xiongnu will not come this year." Liu Yu said.
After finishing his conclusion, Liu Yu explained the reasons again.
After Sima Yue listened, he was speechless for a long time.
Just when Liu Yu was uneasy, Sima Yue spoke: "Qingsun Xiang has a wise strategy, but I don't believe it. In this case, Hongnong's side——"
"Yuan Yan wants to move to Yiyang, but I think it's impossible." Liu Yu said: "The Huns have not yet arrived, and the governor of a county left in a hurry. How does this look like a victory?"
Sima Yue nodded first, and then said: "Gu is more than concerned about this."
Liu Yu understood the idea and immediately said: "Situ may transfer Shao Xun to Yuzhou. Shile is stationing troops on the bank of the river. It seems that he has an attempt to go south to Yuzhou. He has selected elite troops and strong generals to intercept them."
Sima Yue sighed.
Those who are loyal cannot be beaten, and those who can be beaten are not loyal. What is going on in this world?
"Just do what you want." He said.
"No." Liu Yu agreed.
Sima Yue stared blankly at the rain curtain. After a long time, he said: "Qingsun, do you think Shao Xun is very famous now? Many people are planting wheat these days..."
Liu Yu didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "With Situ here, Xiaoxiao can't make trouble."
Sima Yue didn't say anything.
Of course there is no problem if he is here, but what if he is gone? Who else can control him?
He doesn't have much time left.
"Qingsun, you just said that the Huns will not come this year -" Sima Yue suddenly said.
Liu Yu's heart skipped a beat.
This is his analysis, but what if the Huns come?
"No, Situ." There was sweat seeping out of his vest. Facing Sima Yue's stern gaze, he could only say bravely: "On this occasion, it is not appropriate to move lightly."
"Didn't the Liangzhou soldiers arrive at Tongguan? What are you afraid of?" Sima Yue glared at him.
I just received news at noon today that five thousand Liangzhou volunteers had arrived at Tongguan the day before and were preparing to come to Luoyang via Hongnong.
The team was led by Bei Gongjun and others.
The combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou soldiers is obvious to all. With them here, there will be an elite force that dares to fight and fight, and Luoyang will be much safer.
"The Liangzhou soldiers have to leave." Liu Yu said, "Whether the Huns come or not, they will return to Liangzhou at the latest in March next year."
Sima Yue snorted coldly and stopped talking.
The rain continues to fall.
Liu Yu, who left Situ's Mansion, took an ox cart and walked slowly on the street.
He just saw that Yu Zhi and others went to the brothel to have fun again.
Guo Xiang also invited all his colleagues to hold a grand banquet in his house to continue to consolidate his power.
It seemed that in an instant, everyone was singing and dancing and became peaceful, no longer worried about the Huns' invasion.
They - so naive!
It is true that Liu Yu himself did not think that the Huns would come this year, so it was unlikely.
But there is always a possibility of eventuality. What are these people thinking?
Liu Yu suddenly felt a little exhausted.
In this miserable wind and cold rain, Shao Xun led his troops to leave Hongnong County, preparing to retreat south through the Erling area of ​​Xiaoban and return to Yiyang...
Chapter completed!
