Liu Yu looked at Liu Muzhi and said in a deep voice: "Now in the entire grassland, almost all the tribes loyal to the Tuoba clan have moved into the Central Plains, but the original Mobei land is occupied by the emerging Rouran.
, it can be said that there was a strong enemy in the rear of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the two Yans in the northeast and southeast were mortal enemies. Although the relationship with the Later Qin Dynasty eased later, they were by no means allies. Various internal conflicts among forces
It’s not small at all. In this case, internal stability and consolidating the results of expansion are the first priority, and it is unlikely that we will conquer again.”
"Moreover, Tuoba Gui himself is not good at this kind of tactics. His skills are more on the battlefield. What I am most worried about is the vague black hand behind this time, the one who forced Liu Laozhi to death and expelled Ah Shou.
That group of people!”
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Are you still doubting that the mafia has not been eliminated and is still against you?"
Liu Yu nodded: "I have never believed that the Mafia is really finished, let alone that the Mafia's town hall is only as good as Sima Yuanxian and Sima Shangzhi. If they really only have this ability, let alone harm them.
My whole life has been so miserable that even Marshal Liu and the others couldn't fight against him. But Marshal Liu was killed in the end, and he spared Ah Shou's life and let him escape to Huaibei so that he could continue to threaten Huan Xuan. Such a trick
, it’s beyond what anyone can do, so I believe this is still the lingering ghost of the mafia. Maybe Sima Yuanxian and others are just scapegoats they threw out to divert Huan Xuan’s attention.”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "This is very possible, but it is not their business now. Murong Beide is very similar to his brother. He is also an ambitious man who is unwilling to be lonely. Now that he cannot expand north or west, then he must
He will put his target on us. In the past, Alan was in the middle to stop him, and he needed Alan to help him pacify the interior, eliminate the rebellion, and obtain intelligence, so he could only make compromises. But now, his rule in Qidi is also stable.
Facing strong pressure from the north, he needs to expand his strength. After all, there are no more Xianbei or Han people who will defect to him because of the war, so what he needs is just a reason to go to war with the Jin Dynasty."
Liu Yu nodded: "Then you mean, this is Murong Beide's own performance?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head and said: "No, his hand can't reach Dajin. Even if he hurt Liu Jingxuan this time, it's impossible to hurt Liu Laozhi last time. I agree with your analysis. What happened this time is very likely.
It was the work of the cabal group last time. But in my opinion, it is not necessarily the mafia you think of, because the mafia wants to protect the family and the world. The bottom line is that it is okay to fight within the country, but we cannot really let foreign enemies destroy the country.
Jin, whether it is the former Qin who went south or the demons and thieves caused trouble, they will still try their best to put it down. Therefore, I suspect that the black hand this time is another dark force. I don’t know what their purpose is, but for this kind of provocation
Civil war, as a method of attracting foreign enemies to invade, is our sworn enemy with no room for negotiation and will never stop fighting!"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Go and investigate this dark force. I believe that this force may have something to do with Kuang Zhi's death. It even started to sow discord between me and Xile, and wanted to split the Beifu Army.
His handiwork. But the most urgent task is to stop Murong Beide's southern invasion. In any case, the people in Jiangbei and even the entire Jin Dynasty cannot be allowed to suffer from wars. The country has been fighting for so many years, and even the people of Wu
Both Jiangbei and Jingzhou are in ruins and can no longer withstand major wars in recent years. By the way, how is the situation in Jiangbei now?"
Liu Muzhi frowned and said, "I have a messenger who has just returned from Jiangbei. Do you want to meet him? He is also an old acquaintance of yours."
Before Liu Yu had time to respond, he saw Liu Muzhi walking out of the tent. Soon, he came in with a brave warrior. When Liu Yu saw this person, he laughed: "Brother Yanzhi, why is it you?" ah."
The person who came was none other than Yanzhi. After a few years apart, he was now a strong man with a full face and beard. He was wearing leather armor and still looked like a lower-level military official. When he saw Liu Yu, he gave a military salute: " I have been in such a humble position and have met the commander-in-chief."
Liu Yu nodded, suddenly put away his smile, and said in a deep voice: "Commander, you really disappoint me. Although you were in Pengcheng and did not participate in the Jingba Jianyi incident, before Jianyi Two days ago, I specially ordered Shen Tianzi to send someone to inform you, asking you to speed up Pengcheng's men to Guangling City to join Liu Daogui, and then cross the river to participate in the capture of Jiankang. But why didn't you see even Wang Zhene from Yuzhou came? Trace?"
To Yanzhi he said seriously: "Return to the Commander-in-Chief, after I received the news, I immediately mobilized all the old troops in Pengcheng, and even recruited hundreds of Celestial Masters who were assigned to work as coolies in various stone mines and copper mines. Prisoners of war came to help, but Liu Gai, the guard of Pengcheng, was Huan Xuan's lackey and had been monitoring me from all sides. In two days, I gathered hundreds of people to go south. It was already very difficult. The military order you originally gave me was not for me. He wanted to kill the garrison and seize the county city, so he sent the brothers to the south in batches under his nose. I have done my best in spite of my humble position."
Liu Yu's expression softened slightly: "I heard that when you came to Guangling later, it was only one day later than General Liu Yi and the others started their troops. But why did Wang Zhen'e and Shen Tianzi, who were with you in Guangling, mobilize? I caught up with the Battle of Luoluo Bridge and made great achievements, where are you?"
Yanzhi sighed: "When we left Guangling, we divided our troops into two groups. Shen Tianzi and Wang Zhene took the waterway directly down the river, while I took the baggage and provisions to Jingkou City. When I arrived at Jingkou City, Meng I joined the army and stayed there, but he asked me to leave food and fodder to guard Jingkou City, and he rushed to the front line with the remaining troops. I stayed there for two days before receiving the news that Jiankang was captured, and I missed this kind of battle."
Liu Yu was a little surprised and looked at Liu Muzhi: "Is this really true? Why didn't I hear such a military report later?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "This is what war is like. Thousands of people have done meritorious service this time. Who cares about a small officer with hundreds of logistics troops? From a big perspective, there are people charging ahead. , there are also people guarding the grain and grass in the rear, but the credit always goes to those soldiers who beheaded and captured the enemy in the front. Who will care about the rear soldiers like the captain? So this time in Jianyi, the final evaluation of the captain is No merit or demerit, no promotion."
Liu Yu sighed: "It's my fault for being careless and wronging you. However, there are military rules in the army. If you are in the rear army and you have not gained anything, you cannot win the title based on merit. This kind of rear guard thing, I I've done this before. Don't worry, Yanzhi, I will arrange for you to go to the front line to perform meritorious service in the future."
Yanzhi suddenly laughed: "Back then, Marshal Liu came to Shouchun alone, was trapped in death, and stayed behind to protect us people. Is it to get rewards for meritorious service?"
