Chapter 696 Yang Guangming appears on the battlefield
Liu Yu's eyes were bright, and he began to think about the war in the entire north, and murmured: "Fat man, what's going on in Luoyang now? How is the progress of Huan's Jingzhou troops?"
Liu Muzhi put away his smile and lowered his voice: "Just now when you were talking to Mr. Xianggong here, I also received a very important news. I heard that Huan Chong, the governor of Jingzhou, was seriously ill and could no longer continue to preside over the affairs.
Northern Expedition, back to Jiangling!"
Liu Yu was so shocked that he jumped up from the boulder: "How is this possible? Didn't Huan Chong want to regain the Central Plains with confidence and establish unparalleled achievements? Didn't he just capture Xiangyang the day before yesterday?
March into the Central Plains and regain Luoyang. The situation is great."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "That means his life is in danger. I heard that Huan Chong was sick from shame this time. Before the Feishui Battle, he had sent Huan Xuan to lead his army to aid Jiankang, but he was turned back by Xian Gong.
, and then he said that Xie Xianggong has the power of a prime minister, but he is not good at military affairs. The younger people on the front line are more than capable of talking about mysteries, but not enough to win decisively when the opportunity arises. I am afraid that this time, everyone will be like the barbarians."
Liu Yu frowned: "As the head coach of one side, it is extremely inappropriate for him to lose his prestige like this before the war."
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "Yes, he talked too much before the war, but Xuan Shuai used a beautiful victory to make him feel ashamed. Huan Chong has been competing with Xie Xianggong all his life, and in the final battle, he was completely defeated
He was so arrogant and arrogant, so naturally he felt resentful and resentful. In addition, he had been working hard in the military recently and he began to fall ill."
Liu Yu sighed: "Time is also fate. Just because of one person's illness, the hard battle of tens of thousands of soldiers was wasted. It is really a pity. Originally, the Jingzhou Army conquered Xiangyang, and continued to the north. The attack on Luoyang was just around the corner.
Well, now the coach has retired due to illness, alas."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Huan Chong retreated, but his two sons, Huan Shimin and Huan Shiqian, did not retreat. They still led their troops to the north, preparing to capture Luoyang."
Liu Yu's expression changed: "What, their father has already retired, but these two sons still won't?"
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "At this time, there is no way to retreat. If we completely withdraw to Jingzhou, I am afraid that the power of Huan Chong and his family will not be preserved. Huan Xuan is staring at the position behind Huan Chong.
.”
Liu Yu shook his head in disbelief: "How could Huan Chong die this time? I don't believe it. The most he can do is be ill for a while."
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips and said: "Everything in the world is unpredictable. Although I don't know the specific situation, but based on my intuition, at such a critical time, if you can still hold on, even if you have to force yourself to sit in a wheelchair,
He won't go back to Jiangling. After all, how can he give up on the great achievement of regaining Luoyang? So Huan Chong is probably on his last legs. He left two sons behind. It is unlikely that he will really attack Luoyang, but wait for Fu Hui to retreat on his own.
Guanzhong, in this way, they can take Luoyang without any effort. With such achievements, their brothers' status is guaranteed."
Liu Yu frowned: "If Huan Chong is really critically ill, then Huan Xuan will probably return to Jingzhou to seize power soon. This time he bought that Lu Zongzhi, obviously he wanted to use this person to recruit Guanzhong
Heroes, in order to build their own strength, although Huan Shiqian and Huan Shimin are older and more senior than him, after all, he is the heir apparent of the Huan family. Even Huan Chong has said many times that he will be the governor of Jingzhou in the future.
The throne is returned to Huan Xuan. If Huan Chong is really dead now, I'm afraid Jingzhou will fall into the hands of this sinister young master."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "You and I both know Huan Xuan's thoughts. The emperor and the Jiankang family know even more. If Xie Xianggong were here, he would not let this ambitious man control Jingzhou so easily. Brother Huan Shiqian
The reason why we are determined not to retreat at the risk of not being able to see our father for the last time is that we must have someone who can take over as the governor of Jingzhou. I think there is nothing more suitable than taking Luoyang."
Liu Yu nodded: "I see. In this way, the Huan family is determined to win Luoyang. After capturing Luoyang, they will definitely withdraw their troops back to Jiangling. The Northern Expedition on the west route will end here, and it is impossible to enter the map.
Guanzhong, right?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Even if Huan Chong is fine, I don't think he will attack Guanzhong easily. Huan Wen was defeated in Guanzhong, and Huan Chong was also in the army at the time. He should have a strong fighting force against the fierce Guanzhong old Qin people.
I have a deep understanding that without absolute strength, it is not a good opportunity to capture Guanzhong. Oh, by the way, there is another unknown result of the Huan family's Northern Expedition, which is that they sent another partial army to capture Liang.
State direction.”
Liu Yuqi said: "In the direction of Liangzhou? Is that where Hanzhong is? This is the southern gateway to Guanzhong. The Shu Han Dynasty was able to make many northern expeditions to Guanzhong only if it controlled Hanzhong. Moreover, there are many Qiang and Di tribes here. Once they can gain a foothold, they can conquer the south.
Capturing Bashu and attacking Guanzhong from the north is a battleground for military strategists. Back then, Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, personally fought with Cao Cao here to capture the land of Liangzhou. How could the Huan family succeed with a partial army?
"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Because the Qifu tribe in Longyou area rebelled, within a few months, there were more than 100,000 Qiang and Qiang people, and the Di people responded, and a large number of Qin's troops stationed in Liangzhou were transferred
We went to attack the Qifu clan in the Western Qin Dynasty, but the guards were empty, and Huan Chong chose the right general to attack Liangzhou, so the battle was successful!"
Liu Yu smiled and said: "Who is the general who defeated Liang? If you can decide based on the partial division, he must not be an ordinary person."
The fat on Liu Muzhi's face shook, and his eyes gradually squeezed into two slits: "Actually, we are old acquaintances. We are the former governor of Liangzhou in Jin Dynasty, Yang Liang, and the one who spearheaded him is
His two sons, Yang Guang and Yang Quanqi, were famous for their fierceness and good fighting skills."
Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully: "Hongnong Yang family, I have heard of it. When I was with Mao Qiu and Feng Qian in the blacksmith building, we often talked about the people in Bashu. They said that Yang Liang and his son
, although it is a famous Confucian family, after the Hongnong Yang family, their ancestors include the Eastern Han Dynasty Taiwei Yang Zhen and the great scholar Yang Xiong, but in recent times, there have been many fierce generals. The brothers Yang Guang and Yang Quanqi, even in the west, are known for their fierceness and rape.
He is famous for his wars, and that Yang Quanqi is even more proficient in the art of war and a talented general. How could such a person come to Jingzhou in Huanchong and be used by him?"
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "When the Qin Dynasty was strong in the past, it went south to capture the Bashu region of the Jin Dynasty. Before attacking Bashu, Liangzhou was the first to bear the brunt. Yang Liang and his son, who were the governor of Liangzhou at the time, had few soldiers and lack of food, so they could not
To resist, they can only retreat to the Jingzhou area and take shelter with the Huan family. But this time the Qin army was defeated in Feishui, they finally had the opportunity to avenge their past humiliation. It was both time and fate!"
