Chapter 1,362: Sending food from thousands of miles away to meet each other
Liu Muzhi's eyes were bright and he continued: "But the mafia should not let Huan Xuan interfere in the Central Plains again. During this period, don't think about the Northern Expedition, and don't give Huan Xuan any leverage. Just stay in Zhu Xu
By my side, when Huan Xuan and Wang Chen are gone, it will be time to clean up the forts in the Central Plains and return them to the Jin Dynasty."
Liu Yu frowned: "But what if there is a chance for the Northern Expedition? In addition to the lack of troops, our biggest problem now is the lack of foreign aid and the lack of military rations. If Murong Chui is willing to send troops and has enough military rations,
Then the fighter plane is coming, and I, I still don’t want to give up.”
Liu Muzhi curled his lips and said, "I don't believe that such a good thing can happen. If nothing else, it's this military ration. So much has been consumed this time. Where did you ask Zhu Xu to get the rations for you?"
Liu Yu sighed: "Food is indeed the biggest problem. I originally thought that Murong Yong would have food and grass so that he could defeat the enemy with food, but he didn't expect that Xiyan would not change his stubbornness and basically relied on robbery to survive. This time
We searched the abandoned camp of the Xiyan Army and found only more than a thousand stones of military rations. It seems that they were planning to attack Luoyang quickly and then rob them on the spot. No wonder Murong Yong was able to escape so quickly."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Bingzhou itself is not a grain-producing land. The mountains and rivers inside and outside are only productive in a few plains in southern and central Shanxi. In addition, Xiyan fought with the former Qin in Bingzhou in the past few years and robbed each other.
You have already wiped out all your food reserves. Even if you get Bingzhou, you may not be able to hold on. Now that you have fallen out with Lu Xun, it is impossible for him to give you the food and grass in the Central Plains. And Huan Xuan will intervene in the Central Plains.
It’s even more impossible to provide you with funding, so you’d better think carefully about how to gain a foothold in the Central Plains.”
Xie Daoyun's voice sounded faintly from behind the two of them: "Who said there is no military rations to support you, Xiaoyu? I will send you rations and grass right now."
A joyful look flashed across Liu Yu's face. He and Liu Muzhi turned back at the same time, saluted Xie Daoyun in black robes and said, "Madam, why did you come to Luoyang at this time?"
Xie Daoyun smiled slightly: "You are fighting hard in the Central Plains, so I can't be idle. The troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass have gone first. Fortunately, I can catch up this time."
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips: "Madam, what do you mean, you brought food and grass this time? But now that the Xie family is no longer the power it once was, where did the food and grass come from?"
Xie Daoyun said seriously: "When I was still young and in charge of the Beifu Army, I left 500,000 shi of military rations in Pengcheng. These were not reported to the country, but were stored in our private warehouses, so that one day, the big army
When Jin again has the opportunity to make the Northern Expedition, he can call it directly. When Xiaoyu came to the Central Plains this time, I felt that his intention was not just to defend Luoyang. Therefore, after you set off, I also went to Pengcheng. When I heard that you defeated Murong Yong,
, I knew that you would never stop here, so I traveled through the starry night to transport grain from Pengcheng to this point, hoping it would be helpful for your next move."
Liu Yu nodded excitedly: "Thank you so much, madam. It's really a timely help, fat man. Now we have hope for the Northern Expedition."
Liu Muzhi frowned: "But even if you have food and grass, where will your troops come from? Now you only have 500 Beifu army brothers who are reliable. Even if Zhu Xu's men recruit the Xiyan troops who surrendered in this battle, they will only have more than 10,000 troops.
, let alone follow you. Is this small amount of troops enough to conquer Bingzhou?"
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Now that Murong Yongxin has been defeated, he will shrink his troops after returning to Bingzhou. Most of the troops left in southern Shanxi were surrendered troops from the former Qin Dynasty. He would never dare to leave these troops in southern Shanxi. He would rather
To retreat to Taiyuan, we only need to attack, but he wants to keep the entire Bingzhou, so he must give up something. As long as there is a powerful army elsewhere that can threaten him, he is likely to give up the entire southern Shanxi. Therefore, we are now
What they have to do is to attack without stopping, without giving Murong Yong a chance to regroup or breathe. Even if he cannot take Taiyuan in one fell swoop, he must at least gain a foothold in southern Shanxi. As long as he has a foothold in Hebei, what will happen next will be
It’s much easier to handle.”
When Liu Yu said this, he paused: "And with this large amount of military rations, even after arriving in southern Shanxi, we can benefit the people and help those who are suffering. The people who have benefited will naturally be grateful to the King of the Jin Dynasty."
The good thing is that our hearts are on our side, and with the support of the people, everything becomes easier."
Xie Daoyun said with a smile: "This is exactly the unfinished wish of Mr. Xianggong and Youdu. In the Northern Expedition to Hebei, they also wanted to occupy Yecheng, manage the surrounding areas, and finally regain the entire north. Unfortunately, the battle at Wuqiaoze failed.
There can't be any mistakes this time. Xiaoyu, I brought you what you asked for. I brought it with you, as well as more than a thousand Xie family tenant farmers who transported grain. You can use them as civilian laborers, too.
They can form an army, camp, transport, and form simple formations. At least, they have more than a thousand strong men, which is better than nothing."
Liu Muzhi suddenly said: "Wang Gong, Wang Zhenjun, is there any action?"
Xie Daoyun frowned: "Of course, Liu Laozhi has already assembled troops in Guangling. I heard that the vanguard has gone north. This is the news I heard when I was in Pengcheng ten days ago. I estimate that they will arrive in the Central Plains soon. Liu
You know Lao Zhi’s character best. He is here to grab the merits, so you must hurry up and cross the Yellow River first. As long as you reach Hebei, no one can take away the merits you already have. In the court, we
I will also ask for orders for you. Of course, since you have no official status now, you must persuade Governor Zhu to take action in person, and you will act together as an assistant."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "This is natural. Governor Zhu said that as long as there is no danger in Luoyang, he can send troops. In these days, he has also been reorganizing the army and recruiting surrendered soldiers. If Liu Yingyang's army can arrive here quickly and take over
City defense, then we can dispatch it immediately. But..." At this point, he frowned slightly.
Xie Daoyun said with a smile: "Are you afraid of Huan Xuan? Don't worry, he won't be going anywhere soon. Whether it is Huan Xuan or Liu Laozhi, the only thing they can do is to say that Luoyang is in trouble and come to the rescue.
With Zhu Xu here, they dare not make any mistakes, let alone cross you, and attack Hebei by themselves. Therefore, you must cross the river quickly now, and I will help you arrange other matters."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Jinnu, I think it's better to think twice before acting. I still think that the current crisis is everywhere. If you attack Hebei at this time, it will conflict with the interests of too many people. The lesson of the previous Northern Expedition is
, if the rear is unstable, it will be difficult to make achievements in the front. It seems to be a better choice for Liu Laozhi to lead his army and let him cross the Hebei expedition. We will provide military supplies from behind and protect his flanks if necessary."
