Chapter 875 The monarch and his ministers finally became suspicious of each other at the banquet
Guangling, city head.
Xie Xuan is wearing a Confucian shirt, a green turban, a small fan in his hand, a wide robe with big sleeves, and a fluttering beard. Looking from a distance, he looks like an immortal. But next to this immortal, there is a man dressed in black and eight inches tall.
A warrior with more than a foot and a posture of a bear and a tiger, standing motionless as if he were standing still on a mountaintop, couldn't he be Liu Yu?
A gust of north wind blew up, bringing up a few snowflakes. Xie Xuan frowned slightly, flicked his feather fan, and said leisurely: "Murong Chen is dirtying me!"
Liu Yu smiled slightly, shook his head, and shook away the few dust particles that had just settled on his face: "Xiao Yu is willing to clear this Murong Chen for Xuan Shuai forever."
Xie Xuan did not look at Liu Yu. He looked into the distance with his profound eyes, as if looking at Yecheng thousands of miles away: "Winter is coming. According to common sense, it is not the time for our Han army to send troops. During autumn and winter, Hu
The steeds are fat and the horses are strong, but the rivers freeze in winter and we cannot transport food and troops through the waterways. Xiaoyu, you are now a top military master, tell me, should we send troops at this time?"
Liu Yu said decisively: "This opportunity must not be missed, the time will never come again. From a tactical point of view, it is not good for our southern army to send troops at this time, as you just said. But from a strategic point of view, now is the best time."
"
Xie Xuan nodded, still not looking at Liu Yu: "Tell me your reasons."
Liu Yu said seriously: "The battle in Guanzhong will definitely be decided within two or three months. If no miracle occurs, Fu Jian will be defeated. By then, the Xiyan army will most likely return to the east of Guandong, so Murong Chui will definitely
Before this powerful enemy of the same clan comes over, capture Yecheng, stabilize Guandong, and wait for the powerful enemy."
Xie Xuan shook his head: "He has been fighting Yecheng for more than two years. He has not defeated it for two years. Can he win it in two months now? I don't believe it."
Liu Yu sighed: "It's not that he can't defeat him, but he doesn't want to waste too much strength, so he hasn't attacked by force. He withdrew from the siege several times before, leaving a westward retreat for Fu Pi, but Fu Pi just accepted death.
Even if he was beaten to death, he would not leave. In addition, the Ding Ling and Zhai brothers raided his rear many times, and Wang Yong, the governor of the Qin State in Youzhou, also joined forces with the Xianbei tribe of Liu Kuren outside the Great Wall to go south several times, all of which distracted his energy.
He hasn't captured Yecheng in the past two years, but I always feel like there's something wrong."
Xie Xuan said "Oh" softly. This time he turned around and glanced at Liu Yu: "What's wrong?"
Liu Yu took a deep breath and said: "Based on my understanding of Murong Chui, if he really wanted to capture Yecheng, he would have succeeded a year ago at the latest. The Zhai brothers are just suffering from mustard ringworm, so they will not
After delaying him for so long, as for Wang Yong and Liu Kuren, Youzhou's military strength was insufficient, and Liu Kuren's civil strife also killed this hero outside the Great Wall half a year ago. Fu Pi cut off foreign aid, and even wanted to escape to the isolated city.
Wang Yong and Zhang Hao from Bingzhou came to help, but they both refused because of insufficient troops. I stayed in Chang'an City for more than a year. Murong Chong was really fighting. I don't think Fu Jian could hold on for three months. There was no reason. Yecheng's defense
His strength exceeds that of Chang'an, and there is no reason why Murong Chui's generals are inferior to Murong Chong."
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "Let me tell you the reason why this is wrong, that is Murong Chui's selfishness."
Liu Yuqi said: "Selfish?"
Xie Xuan nodded: "Yes, it's just selfishness. Although Murong Chui's troops are numerous, most of them are troops from various ethnic groups who have surrendered. In troubled times, it's just a matter of finding a monarch who you think you can trust. Ding Ling of the Xiang Zhai family is a typical example. They followed
Murong Chui was not loyal, but he felt that Murong Chui, a famous general in the world, would have a brighter future than Fu Pi."
"In the past two years, during the Hebei War, the war between Qin and Yan was back and forth. The forces in various places were like grass on the wall. Sometimes they rebelled and sometimes surrendered. Some surrendered and rebelled again, and some rebelled and surrendered again. Murong Chui couldn't cure it, so he was always busy.
, let his sons divide their troops to pacify various places."
"His time and troops were consumed and wasted little by little. If he really had the ability to attack Yecheng by force, he would have done so long ago. The reason why he surrounded three men and left one short of one and moved out of the way was not that he wanted to ambush, but that
I want to capture the city as quickly as possible with the minimum cost."
"But Murong Chong is different. What he wants is not the country, at least not now. What he wants is revenge and obsession. In order to achieve this goal, he doesn't care how many people die or how much blood is shed, even if this goal is only an hour ahead of schedule.
, he did not hesitate to kill millions of people, so he attacked the city desperately, regardless of the life and death of his men, and even his own life and death, Xiaoyu, these are what you have seen with your own eyes."
Liu Yu sighed: "You are absolutely right. I saw with my own eyes that Murong Chong and his men took Wu Shi Powder and rushed into the city with blood-red eyes. They just wanted to turn themselves into devils and let them go in Chang'an.
A massacre, really meant to cleanse the whole city with blood. That night was so crazy. Both Murong Chong and the soldiers and civilians of Chang'an turned into devils. I experienced so many battles and saw so many things.
Horrible, human-tortured atrocities, but none of them can compare to that night."
Having said this, Liu Yu's fists gradually clenched, his expression became extremely serious, and there was even a hint of fear in his eyes.
Xie Xuan smiled and patted Liu Yu on the shoulder: "Fortunately, I was not in Chang'an that night. Even your expression changed, which must be unacceptable to anyone. Let you change overnight and stay to protect the people of the city.
I don’t want to think about such a thing. Guanzhong will become a hell on earth. Before the beasts there turn into humans, we’d better forget about it and concentrate on regaining Hebei.”
Liu Yu nodded: "But Murong Chui used to care about the strength of his men, does he not care about it now? Fu Pi has been defending for two years, and the people in the city are united and united as one. If we attack by force, we will suffer heavy losses. How can we face us again like this?"
?”
Xie Xuan shook his head: "So he wants to use his evil thoughts to find a way to prevent us from sending troops to the Northern Expedition. For more than half a year, Sima Daozi and Wang Guobao have not stopped making slanderous remarks and driving a wedge between our Xie family and the royal family. Do you know?
Just three days ago, at the banquet in Jiankang City, the monarch and his ministers almost turned against each other?"
Liu Yu's expression changed: "Is there such a thing?"
Xie Xuan nodded: "It was originally a banquet for the expedition, but the monarch and his ministers had not spoken to each other for more than three months. During the banquet, the Holy Master suddenly asked the ministers around him, who knew about Cao Cao?
, Sima Yi has been the prime minister for how many years, and the meaning behind his words is obvious."
