Chapter 1,394 A handful of hot soil hidden in the chest
Liu Muzhi looked at Liu Yu and continued: "In this battle at Yecheng, Zhai Liao was burned to death in the city, Zhai Zhao luckily escaped with his life, Ding Ling was seriously injured, and Zhang Yuan has been entrenched in Qingzhou these years.
, Murong Chui attacked with heavy troops this time, I am afraid that Zhang Yuan's defeat will be a matter of time. After Huan Xuan's troops arrived in Luoyang, they saw that you turned to Hebei and withdrew to Jingzhou. In the end, Zhu Xu gave up the whole army.
Jinnan was all withdrawn to Luoyang, and the land of Jinnan was once again occupied by Murong Yong, sending slaves, this is the situation in the Central Plains now, do you have anything to say?"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "What a pity. Even if we can't capture Yecheng, at least Shannan is won through hard work. Why give up when you say you give up? I have told Zhu Xu many times that I will deal with Murong Chui.
As long as we defend southern Shanxi, why should we withdraw our troops?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Zhu Xu is the defender of Luoyang after all. Jinnan is not his responsibility, Luoyang is. To put it bluntly, he does not dare to take this risk. If Luoyang is lost, then even if he captures Jinnan
, he should also be executed based on his crime. Although a veteran like him also has ambitions for the Northern Expedition, he is not like you, who can do whatever it takes and only care about merit."
Liu Yu sighed: "If you think about it this time, apart from defeating Murong Yong in Luoyang and shocking Xi Yan, I have achieved almost nothing. It is far from what I imagined before coming here."
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips and said: "Things in the world are unpredictable, and there is nothing to say about this kind of outcome. Ji Nu, you should think about how to prepare for what happens after you return."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "As soon as Jinnan retreats, Murong Nong's 50,000 soldiers and horses will have no pressure and can sweep across Qingzhou. Ah Shou's army and Liu Yingyang's army behind can attack the Yan army. We cannot let them do this."
Zhang Yuan was easily destroyed. Otherwise, if Qingzhou is lost, the Yan State will have a large foothold south of the Yellow River, where it can advance and retreat, and it will be difficult to stop it."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Do you want to meet Liu Yingyang directly and discuss your interests face to face? But I advise you not to have too much hope. He was a little afraid of the Yan Army's cavalry during the last battle in Yecheng. Ask him to take the initiative
I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts to provoke the Murong family's army, especially the elite main force that includes tens of thousands of armor and cavalry."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "I don't believe that Liu Yingyang would be so timid. When he was at Feishui, he was not afraid when facing millions of Qin troops. Can a failure make a tiger general lose his courage?
"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "It's different. Liu Laozhi during the Feishui period was a fierce general who dared to fight and fight. He didn't care about politics or worry about his death. Anyway, the army was established by the Xie family, and he was just a general. Although
Just do what a soldier does."
"But the current Beifu Army, although Wang Gong is the commander, he established it by himself. If the previous Beifu Army's surname was Xie, now it is Liu. This is his own army. It was also after he was dismissed from the army after the defeat and re-established it.
Now he realizes that military and military tactics are the foundation of his life, and this army is the key to his ability to maintain his military position. Therefore, he will never waste it casually like before.
Don't expect him to really fight against the Yan army, he will never do it if he is not sure."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "I still want to give it a try, but if it doesn't work, I will first stabilize Liu Yingyang and not withdraw his troops, and then I will convince Wang Gong. I will tell you what the benefits are. If the power of the Beifu Army is used in the north, it will be against foreigners."
If we fight, the civil war will not start for the time being, so I can bargain with Suzaku and the others to eliminate Qinglong."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Then I wish you all the best. After returning this time, we will go our separate ways. I will go find my father-in-law and Mrs. Wang, so that they can come forward to support you and explain the north to the emperor in advance.
The real situation, lest Qinglong and the other villains complain first."
Liu Yu smiled slightly and took Liu Muzhi's hand: "The connection between these upper levels depends entirely on you."
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "My power can only be used to a limited extent. Jinu, you must remember that the one who can really speak in front of the emperor is your sister Miaoyin."
Liu Yu's expression changed: "I promised not to mention this matter, but why did I say it again? I really don't want to owe her any more unless I have to."
Liu Muzhi sighed, shook his head, turned and walked towards the ferry behind him. As he walked, he chanted: "Ask what love is in this world..."
Liu Yu silently looked to the north in the direction of Yecheng. He squatted down, grabbed a handful of black soil from the ground, wrapped it in a scarf, put it to his nose and smelled it, then stuffed it into his arms without hesitation. He had something in his heart.
A voice shouted: "Hebei, one day, I will set foot on this land again. Goodbye, my hometown. Goodbye, the burial place of my brothers!"
At the top of the city of Xingyang, a commander's flag with the character "Liu" fluttering in the wind, an endless mixed army of vehicles and footmen could be seen, coming ashore from the Huai River in the southwest, then crossing the official road in a mighty manner, and finally ending up on the west side of the city.
Setting up camp, a huge military camp that can accommodate tens of thousands of troops is being built in full swing, and the military songs of the Beifu Army are being sung everywhere within a ten-mile radius, shaking the heaven and earth.
Liu Laozhi had a solemn expression on his purple face. He stood at the top of the city, looking at the northwest direction, thoughtfully.
Sun Wuzhong, dressed in military uniform, stood beside him and sighed: "This time the slaves raided Yecheng and failed again. It seems that Murong Chui is really the nemesis of our Beifu army."
Having said this, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "But fortunately, the forward led by Jingxuan did not suffer any damage and returned safely. It is much better than last time."
Liu Laozhi said slowly: "As a soldier, if you attack against orders and fail to achieve the desired results, you are a failure. Even if you return without success, you are still a failure. I hate this bastard, Ah Shou, for not listening to me, my father."
It is unforgivable to give military orders to Liu Yu and lead him around in circles!"
Sun Wuzhong's expression changed slightly: "Laozhi, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Laozhi's eyes flashed coldly: "Liu Yu is becoming more and more courageous. Who does he think he is? A white man can actually command our Beifu Army. Next, do I have to take orders from him?"
Did he? Humph, this time it happened to hit my hand, let’s see who can protect him again.”
Sun Wuzhong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Lao Zhi, don't be like this. We watched the slaves grow up step by step. At this time, we, the Beifu Army, must not..."
Liu Laozhi waved his shirt and walked directly down the tower: "Wu Ending, I leave this to you. I will go and teach Liu Yu a lesson for you now. Seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings!"
