Chapter 2776: Keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight
Tao Yuanming frowned: "Master, I advise you not to have such thoughts. If it were just Liu Yu, he might consider Murong Lan's life and let you go. However, Wang Miaoyin followed, and in this world
I'm afraid no one wants Murong Lan to disappear forever more than she does."
The face of the black robe changed: "What do you mean, Wang Miaoyin wants to force Murong Lan to death?"
Tao Yuanming nodded: "A woman will always value love above all else. This time Wang Miaoyin insisted on following Liu Yu on the expedition without hesitation. Destroying Yan is not her biggest concern, so Murong Lan will never be able to see Liu again."
Yu, this is what she wants. Being able to borrow the help of you or Murong Chao to kill Murong Lan is probably what she has been thinking about day and night. In fact, during the question and answer, couldn't you tell?
, does Wang Miaoyin actually want to let you escape?"
Heipao said to himself thoughtfully: "From what you said, it may be true. Wang Miaoyin took the initiative to mention her mother at that time, probably because she wanted to interfere with Liu Yu's judgment and help me escape."
Tao Yuanming sighed: "The Wang family and the Xie family have studied various methods of restraining witchcraft poison for generations. It is because I know this that I want to cooperate with her and find a way to remove the poison from my brain. It is impossible for Murong Lan not to know this.
But based on their relationship, if they were really willing to help, Wang Miaoyin should have come to the rescue long ago. In fact, Liu Yu may not know until now that Wang Miaoyin is the one who can really save Murong Lan. If you really
If you want to attack Liu Yu, maybe it would be a clever move to sow discord between him and Wang Miaoyin."
Heipao laughed and patted Tao Yuanming on the shoulder: "You are still awesome. I have thought of all these for you. I will use them when necessary. However, I can't care about these things now. No matter how I provoke Liu Yu to follow
The relationship between the people around him cannot prevent his army from besieging Guanggu. And I have already thought that this city defense battle will be a good opportunity for me to turn defeat into victory."
Tao Yuanming was a little surprised: "How can we turn defeat into victory by defending ourselves in an isolated city and cutting off foreign aid?"
The black robe said confidently: "Liu Yuzhi is brave and fierce, just like Ran Min back then. Today's battle proves that our army is no longer a match for him in the field. Now that the army has been defeated, morale is low, and the army has no fighting spirit. If we start
A battle in the city will definitely lead to a disastrous defeat. Once we lose this last army, we will not be able to defend it even if we have a strong city."
"But when Ran Min attacked Ye City, he suffered a disastrous defeat. Even though Yu Dun's troops fortified the city, he was unable to break the city. As time went by, his vigor declined and diseases abounded. This is exactly what is called in the art of war, siege the city first.
After the city was not broken for ten months, the two armies of Yao Xiang and Yan State came to attack. They coordinated with the soldiers and horses in the city to attack from three sides. Ran Min was defeated and lost. The army of 100,000 was almost wiped out overnight, and a large number of famous ministers and generals died in the battle.
, he himself fled back alone, and from then on the myth of his invincibility was completely shattered."
Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "Do you want to repeat the Battle of Yecheng that year, holding on to Guanggu while waiting for foreign aid, and then cooperating internally and externally to defeat Liu Yu?"
The black robe nodded: "This is the only way. This time, Dayan has nowhere to retreat. Guanggu is the last fortress. The Han people in Qilu cannot be trusted. There are only tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers and horses who can make the last stand."
, relying on Guanggu's solid city defense, it is not a big problem to defend it for a year, but within a year, if no reinforcements arrive, it will eventually fall. Back then, Cao Yi and Duan Gong successively occupied Guanggu to cause rebellion, relying on this
I persisted in resisting Shi Hu and Murong Ke's army for a year, but even if I could hold on for a year, I still failed because of the cutoff of foreign aid and was forced to surrender. I don't want to end up like this, do you understand?"
Tao Yuanming nodded: "So, you want me to go to Hou Qin to ask for help?"
A cold light flashed in the black robe's eyes: "Yes, Yao Xing of the Later Qin Dynasty, last time he completely turned against Liu Yu and became enemies because of the incident in Xishu. The so-called gift from the twelve counties of Nanyang is also
It has been eliminated. He should be very clear that once Nan Yan is destroyed, the next one will be his Later Qin, at least in the Central Plains. Now the Later Qin has been beaten to death by Hu Xia, Yang Fosong, Qi Nan and other famous generals have died in battle, Yao
Xing himself was defeated by Liu Bobo several times in his own expeditions and almost lost his life. If Liu Yu takes advantage of the opportunity to attack again, the country's destruction will be just around the corner."
Tao Yuanming gritted his teeth: "But if the Later Qin itself cannot protect itself, how can it send troops to support the Southern Yan?"
The black robe said coldly: "Liu Bobo relied on the high mobility of his cavalry to guerrilla everywhere and make the troops of the Later Qin Dynasty, which were dominated by chariots and infantry, exhausted. Only then could he find fighter opportunities, use ambushes, and win in field battles. But if he were to attack the rear
Qin's fortresses in the north of the Ling Dynasty, I'm afraid he didn't have the ability to do so, such as Xinping, Yinmi, Anding and other important places. Liu Bobo also attacked several times but failed to succeed. If even the big cities in the north of the Ling Dynasty cannot be captured,
It is even more impossible to enter Guanzhong and seize Chang'an."
Tao Yuanming said sternly: "Master is saying that as long as Yao Xing does not take the initiative to attack and shrink his troops to defend the fortress in the Lingbei area, Liu Bobo will be unable to attack it?"
The black robe nodded: "Yes, each city in Lingbei has enough food to feed an army of more than 10,000 people for more than a year. Liu Bobo's army is all tribal cavalry. They come and go like the wind. They are good at mobile warfare. What's more,
Every battle needs to be looted to gain benefits, otherwise the troops will have no fighting spirit. As long as Yao Xing can strengthen the walls, clear the country, and shrink the defense, Liu Bobo will gain nothing from the attack and will naturally retreat in a few months. The land in Lingbei is already barren and the output is not much.
, have been relying on grain and grass support from Guanzhong and Longyou for many years. Even if they abandon the outside of the city and specialize in defense, it will not place an excessive burden on the country. You can tell Yao Xing that as long as he defends Lingbei without fighting, he will send
The main force of 30,000 Guanzhong, together with the 20,000 Central Plains troops, may either attack Yuzhou or send troops into Nanyan to join forces with our Guanggu garrison to attack Liu Yu. After that battle, I would like to thank you with 30,000 sets of armored and cavalry equipment.
He also sent two thousand armored cavalry officers to Later Qin to instruct the Qin army in learning the tactics of armored cavalry."
Tao Yuanming asked with some confusion: "Later Qin is also a big country. The last time I went to Qin, Yao Xing also told me face to face that he had more than 50,000 cavalry, why do he still need you to provide these?"
There was a hint of disdain in the black robe's laughter: "If they don't have both men and horses, they are called armored cavalry. The Qin army is just some tribal Qiang people who are not accustomed to fighting. How to maintain the formation after wearing heavy armor?
How to gallop back and forth, even one person and two horses, change of equipment before the battle, etc., are all unknown. At best, they can only be regarded as a group of armored infantry on horseback. They cannot exert the power of armored cavalry at all. They must be able to ride hundreds of times.
A team, connected by iron ropes, charging into the formation as a group is a no-brainer. In today's world, the only ones who can combine hundreds of cavalry into one and armored cavalry to attack are my Dayan cavalry and Wei Guo's cavalry!"
