Chapter 1,259 Mu Zhis deduction of the Bingzhou War
Liu Muzhi laughed: "If you don't take me with you, I will tell Wang Gong that you want to use Luoyang soldiers and horses to cross the Yellow River north and take Bingzhou directly! Your goal is not Luoyang, but Jinyang!"
"
Liu Yu quickly picked up a pig's trotter and blocked Liu Muzhi's mouth: "Okay, I'll take you away so that you don't ruin my life by staying here! But let's be clear, it's hard in the north and there's no meat to eat!"
Liu Muzhi laughed and made a face: "Just in time to lose weight!"
Liu Yu curled his lips, looked around, and after making sure there was no one around, he whispered: "Fat man, how could you guess my thoughts?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "How many years have we been together? I still don't know what you are thinking. Going to Luoyang is just a pretense. If you want to prevent the civil war, you are now in the Beifu Army and can be stationed at Guangling Camp. No need.
Go to Luoyang. Going to Luoyang means going to the front line. As long as you can attack, your life will never be defended. And Murong Yong is the best target."
Liu Yu then laughed: "I haven't discussed this matter with you yet. Since you mentioned it today, it's time to sum it up. Murong Yong's newly victorious army has also absorbed Fu Pi's tens of thousands of troops. Do you think I
If we attack him at this time, can we succeed?"
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "Murong Yong has won hundreds of battles since he raised his army, and has never suffered a loss, but this is his biggest weakness. Victory in every battle makes the ruler arrogant, and the Xianbei people of Xiyan hardly ever rest.
, fighting non-stop all the way, and now they finally have a Bingzhou where they can rest and recuperate. However, Murong Yong still wants to attack Luoyang in the name of chasing Fu Pi. There will inevitably be complaints from his subordinates. Murong Yong will definitely use the same tricks he did in Chang'an.
The trick is to lie to your men that Luoyang is full of gold and silver treasures and let them fight for it. As long as you let Sergeant Xiyan see how dilapidated and desolate Luoyang is, the morale and morale of the army will naturally be depressed. At this time, you can use surprise troops to defeat it in one fell swoop and defeat it.
Not too difficult.”
Liu Yu nodded: "If you say that, then I will feel relieved. These days, I have been rehearsing this battle in my mind over and over again, for fear of any eventuality. After all, there are only about a thousand brothers who are going with me. Although
They are all veterans of many battles and elite soldiers, but after all, their numbers are too small, and if they are asked to cross the Yellow River again and attack the fortified Jinyang, I have no idea whether they can succeed in one blow."
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips: "You should be able to defeat Murong Yong, and then chase the Xiyan army all the way. You must not let them have a chance to breathe. Just like the Battle of Junchuan, the defeated troops chasing them collapsed.
Soldiers, there are a large number of surrendered troops from the former Qin in the Xiyan army. The morale of the army is unstable. Once you can win, these people will surrender. You can use them as manpower to besiege the fortified city in the future. When the time comes, you will still need
Let's go pay homage to Fu Jian and show off to win over these Qin people."
Liu Yu said seriously: "This is what it should be. No matter how you say it, Fu Jian is also a benevolent king. I can be considered sympathetic to each other when we were in Chang'an. He died so miserably. I should do something for him. Xiyan killed him."
, the chief culprit who killed hundreds of thousands of Chang'an people. This is why I want to take the opportunity to eliminate them this time. These people are not engaged in production. They are like locusts. They rob wherever they go and stay in the world. They are a scourge to all people.
It must be eliminated.”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Are you still undecided? Should Murong Chui or your good friend Agan Tuobagui send troops to help?"
Liu Yu sighed: "I really can't hide anything from you. Sometimes I really wonder if this fat guy like you is the fat maggot in my belly. Why do you know everything I think? Yes, Zhu Xu's soldiers and horses
, I’m afraid that I may not be able to use it then, especially when I go to fight in Hebei. I may be able to follow me. Only these brothers from Jingkou. As for the surrender of the army after the victory, they are not of the same mind as us, and they may not be really reliable. Therefore,
It can be used when fighting with a favorable wind, but once you encounter a strong enemy in a strong city and the delay lasts for a long time, there will be variables."
"I have been to Jinyang City. It is indeed one of the most fortified cities in the world. If we attack it by force, it cannot be conquered without a hundred thousand troops. Therefore, I need to consume Xiyan's strength as much as possible before attacking the city. If Murong Chui sends troops,
I'm afraid that he will take the opportunity to take Bingzhou as his own, which is very risky, but if Tuobagui sends troops..."
Liu Muzhi laughed and looked at Liu Yu who stopped and said nothing: "Once Tuoba Gui, a prairie wolf, enters the Central Plains, he may no longer be able to control it. Besides, you are not sure whether Tuoba Gui is
It's still your A Gan. He let Huan Xuan go, which means he betrayed you. If you betray once, you can betray you a second time. Moreover, your Northern Expedition is to regain the Han family, expel all the Hu people who are not convinced by Wang Hua, and eliminate Murong.
This evil wolf has attracted two other ferocious tigers, which is really not what you want."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Because my rear is not peaceful. If Huan Xuan comes back and kills Fu Pi, he will definitely be able to return to control Jingzhou. And Zhu Xuben is an old general of the Huan family, and he has not received the imperial court's task of the northern expedition to Hebei, let alone
Maybe you can help me. If I can't make a quick victory and capture Jinyang, I will be in a difficult position and even bear the reputation of a rebel. The mafia and the Diao brothers who hate me will say that I
If a rebellious general like Cheng Zhangyuan wants to separate his country and stand on his own, I don't care about these reputations, but it will bring down these brothers who are with me life and death. This is something I would rather die than do, so I must have a foolproof plan.
.”
Liu Muzhi's expression became serious: "There is no real sure-fire way in the world. If you are 70% sure, you can do it. If you have a chance to defeat Murong Yong's army and pursue them into Bingzhou, you can report it to the court at the same time.
While you are doing your own thing due to the urgent military situation, if you really have the possibility of besieging Jinyang and capturing Bingzhou, then I don't think the emperor will turn a blind eye. In fact, what I am most worried about you is not the military strength, but the military supplies.
If you want to besiege Jinyang, you will need at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. When the time comes, where will your food, grass, and ordnance be prepared to come from?"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Fu Pi has been in Bingzhou for more than a year. When the world was in chaos, Bingzhou was one of the few states and counties that was not affected by the war. When I went to Bingzhou, I made a special observation and found that the warehouses in each state were relatively sufficient.
If we can quickly defeat Murong Yong and follow the defeated army to capture Jiangjun and Pingyang in southern Shanxi, the military supplies and grain in the warehouses in these places will be enough for us for a while."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "What if Murong Yong burned these stocks first when he retreated? Send slaves, it is necessary to be brave and enterprising, and you have to consider the most difficult situation. If you can't find a grain of rice in southern Shanxi, then you
