There are one hill and eight buildings in the Northern Prefecture of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Chapter 2632: Determined to go his own way and want a decisive battle
Chapter 2632: Determined to go his own way and want a decisive battle
Murong Chao's face was gloomy, his fingers tightly grasped the armrest of the dragon chair, and he said in a deep voice: "Taiwei, what do you mean by this? Do you think our Dayan cavalry will still lose to Liu Yu?"
Murong Zhen said quickly: "No, your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. It's just that the war is dangerous. Even Emperor Wucheng has failed. As a general, he must consider defeat before winning, and must consider all kinds of extreme situations."
Situation. A small accident on the battlefield may lead to a reversal of victory or defeat, but His Majesty is aware of it!"
Murong Chao's expression softened slightly and he nodded: "Lieutenant, you are a veteran of the country. You have fought with Emperor Wucheng and the late emperor for many years. You are rich in experience. Since the restoration of Yan in Qingzhou, you have also led troops to defeat the Wei captives.
You have achieved great military exploits. This time, I still want you to lead the troops to fight against the thieves. However, we cannot meet the enemy in the south of Shannan as you said. That will only destroy the prestige of our army and increase the ambition of others. In addition, the cavalry will not be easy to deploy across the mountain. Liu
If Yu camped in front of the pass, I am afraid that our more than 100,000 cavalry would not be able to line up. After thinking about it, it is better to let Liu Yu in and decide the outcome in a battle outside Linqu City!"
Murong Zhen's face changed and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you must not bet on the outcome of a battle with the fate of the country. If something goes wrong, we Xianbei men will be annihilated by the Yi people."
, and the Han people will also have to cut off their hair and have tattoos on these island barbarians."
He was excited for a moment and spoke in vulgar language. Just like in this era, the north and the south were isolated and despised each other. The Jin people regarded the Hu captives as having braided hair on their heads, like rope captives, while the Hu people looked at these Wu and Yue people in the south of the Yangtze River.
The barbarians with broken hair and tattoos had just entered the Central Plains for a long time and had already regarded themselves as orthodox. To the people of Wu and Yue, they looked like foreigners.
Murong Chao was so angry that he slapped the dragon chair, jumped up from the chair, and said angrily: "King of Guilin, you look down on Dayan so much, do you have so little confidence? You are a veteran, if even you are shaken at this moment
Military morale, what nonsense do the soldiers think about subjugating the country in one battle and cutting off hair and tattoos? Who will still fight bloody battles? Come on!"
Several warriors from outside the palace entered in response. Murong Zhen knelt down, clasped his fists in salute, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you, and we can learn from it as the sun rises. Don't risk your temper and put the country in danger.
"
Several sergeants stepped forward to pull him up and started dragging him back. Murong Zhen's eyes were filled with tears. He looked at the black robe and shouted: "National Preceptor, please advise your majesty. It is not a pity for a minister to die, but it is not a pity for a great minister to die."
The country of Yan and the inheritance of the Murong family must not be destroyed in our hands!"
His voice gradually faded away, and Murong Chao said bitterly: "I thought that this man is a veteran general and should be loyal to Dayan and me, but I didn't expect that he would shake the morale of the army here. He really deserves death. Send an order, general
………”
The black robe suddenly said: "Your Majesty, wait a minute. Although the King of Guilin is arrogant and rude, as is the case below, but now the enemy is in front of him. If he kills the hero and general because of disagreement, I am afraid it will shake the morale of the army. It is better to imprison him first and follow the instructions.
If your Majesty's strategy is successful, once you win, it will prove your wisdom and correctness, and it will also make him feel ashamed, which is better than killing him directly."
Murong Chao nodded with satisfaction and sat back on the dragon chair: "As the Imperial Master said, I will leave this old guy alive for now and send an order to put Murong Zhen in prison and wait for his fate. All the men in the army will be sent to him."
Ding Chongjun serves."
Murong Lan sighed softly: "Ah Chao, are you determined to have a decisive battle with Liu Yu in Linqu?"
Murong Chao nodded: "I have made up my mind, and there is no need for my aunt to say anything more. Liu Yu is your husband, and I will give orders to capture him alive as much as possible, but the war is fierce and dangerous. If it really hurts his life,
Don’t blame me either.”
Murong Lan said in a deep voice: "I am a member of the Murong family and I am loyal to Dayan. No matter how reluctant I am, I will still do my best for my family and country. The Jumi River outside Linqu City is the only water source south of Linqu City.
There will be no other water sources within a hundred miles of this land. Since Your Majesty is unwilling to harvest the wheat fields and clear the fields, please seize this water source as soon as possible. The Jin army will naturally retreat due to lack of water."
Murong Chao laughed: "This is the aunt I know well. She is loyal and courageous, and kills relatives for justice. Okay, I have adopted this plan, General Gongsun. I will leave this matter to you. By the way, now we have to mobilize.
, I sent an order to all the armies in Shannan and Yanzhou to retreat into Linqu City, and no defenses were allowed along the way. I also ordered the defenders of Muling Pass in Daxian Mountain to withdraw, get out of the way, and wait for Liu Yu to come and die!"
He looked at Murong Lan by the way: "Auntie, you are still pregnant, so go down and rest first. We have military discussions here, so I won't bother you. Gongsun and Mrs. Helan have information about things here.
You are also doing your best, just rest and recuperate."
Murong Lan said coldly: "Then I wish your majesty a great victory and the protection of Yan State."
After she finished speaking, she bowed slightly and saluted, then turned around and walked out of the palace. Murong Chao's expression changed slightly, and just as he was about to get angry, the black robe whispered: "Your Majesty, Princess Lan has always been arrogant, and she has made great contributions to the country many times.
, even Emperor Wucheng and the late Emperor wanted to give her three points. Her prestige among the people is not comparable to that of the King of Guilin. You have already established your authority. There is no need to cause trouble again at this time. Let's discuss the war."
Murong Chao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, generals, let's discuss how to fight the battle of Linqu!"
Three hours later, Princess Mansion.
The outside of this mansion built specifically for Murong Lan was heavily guarded. It was more of a high-level prison than a princess mansion. Murong Lan was sitting on a small couch in the main hall with a calm expression. There were only Hei Pao and He Lanmin in the room.
Sitting opposite her, the three of them had different expressions and were silent.
Murong Lan was the first to speak, looking at the black robe, and said coldly: "Congratulations, you have been planning for so long, and finally as you wished, Jin Yan has a decisive battle. This time, how are you going to help our wise Shenwu newcomers?"
Emperor, how about defeating the Jin army and creating a legend again?"
The black robe sighed: "Alan, is it interesting to mock me at this time? Do you think I am too confused to see how dangerous this decisive battle is?"
He Lanmin frowned slightly: "From what you said, it seems that this battle will be lost. This time my brother has also been secretly transferred to the south to participate in this battle. The 50,000 cavalrymen in Linqu are already under the leadership of Gongsun Wulou.
I will set off first, and the northern army and the 40,000 armored cavalry guarding the palace will set off in the near future under the personal leadership of Murong Chao. Together with the army of Linqu City itself, I think no matter how powerful Liu Yu is,
It’s hard to stop these more than 100,000 cavalry.”
