Chapter 48: The Heroes of the World Enter My Grain 4
Shi Yue had always been stationed in Shandong and Huaibei. Since his connection with Guanzhong was basically cut off, the area he controlled had almost become an enclave.
Huaibei, Shandong, was originally a rich place, with both dangerous mountains and rivers and abundant resources. In fact, it was fully qualified to be independent, but Shi Yue was still loyal to Fu Jian. At present, the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south was in a habitual internal strife.
There is no power to attack the north again. After occupying many prefectures and counties in Henan, Zhai Bin of Henan is now addicted to the King of Mountains and has no time to care about it. Therefore, in this short moment, Shi Yue's army of 100,000 will be
Become a complete mobility force
Of course, people like Murong Chui are not unprepared. Originally, he sent his most trusted sixth brother Murong De to lead his army to guard the Zhanghe River in order to block the Shiyue tribe that might come. However, both Murong Chui and Murong De were
He insisted that even if Shi Yue dared to come, he would not dare to come in person. Even if he came in person, he would not dare to bring too many people.
The reason is very simple. The core of Shandong is Guanggu City, which is far from Yecheng and close to Shouyang in the south. If Shi Yue comes out empty nest, it means that a large area of land in Huaibei, Shandong will be empty. Even if the Eastern Jin Dynasty is in internal strife, it will be facing such a huge situation.
I'm afraid the interests will be temporarily abandoned, and I'll swallow this piece of fat before talking about it
The fundamental reason for internal strife is that the distribution of spoils is uneven. If the cake can be made bigger, then all parties in the internal strife will probably accept it. At worst, they can swallow it and start internal strife.
Therefore, Murong De brought five thousand people to defend, because he knew that the main force had to stay in Murong Chui's hands, and the coach must have a reserve team in his hands, as an emergency need
From common sense, this is correct and is completely in line with the basic tactical ideas. However, they forgot that now it is a war of the survival of the Qin Empire, and what needs to be considered is the destiny of the country, rather than the gains and losses of a city and a place.
Only at this time did Li Rifei show his horror
He convinced Murong Chong that he was willing to see Shi Yue in person, and persuaded Shi Yue to join Yecheng at the risk of throwing Guanggu away. When he said this, Murong Chong was stunned, all of Murong Chong's commands
The generals all thought he was crazy!
What a joke, Murong Chong was the rebellion of Fu Jian, and Shi Yue was Fu Jian's loyal minister. What do you want to do if you say such words? Do you want to sell everyone to gain wealth?
While everyone was talking, Li Rifei still insisted on his own opinion. Finally, Murong Chong made a statement at that time, "You need to give me a reason."
Li Rifei said frankly: "If the king wants to rule for a while, he will have many generals to serve him, and he will be helping him with low positions. At least he will be able to cross states and counties. However, if he wants to try the possibility of competing for the Central Plains, he must do this."
"Why?" Murong Chong asked sharply
"Because the Murong family can only have one spokesperson. If the adults don't want to, it's still time to apply for Murong Chui." Li Rifei said mercilessly
Murong Chong was silent. Li Rifei said it was right. The Murong family's power was very powerful. However, one day could not accommodate two days, one mountain could not accommodate two tigers. The so-called snake could not do without a head. Now there are only two people who took the lead and launched a military campaign.
If you were not in charge of Murong Chui, it would be very simple.
If he wants to be the leader, and wants to integrate Murong Chui's power and let Murong Chui serve him, it is impossible. He has more troops than him, his prestige is higher than him, and he is an uncle, so where is the reason why an uncle defected to his nephew?
Then Murong Chong had no choice but to kill him!
At this time, someone asked again: "Why can't you look for anyone? You must look for Shi Yue?"
Li Rifei's answer was also very direct, "We alone can't beat Murong Chui."
"Is that not possible by relying on others?"
"It's too late, the Tuoba Xianbei forces did not have time to integrate. The Southern Dynasties were too far away, and Shi Yue was the best choice." Li Rifei said calmly.
"What if Shi Yue hit Murong Chui and then hit us?" The questioner still refused to let go
"Can't we hit them?" Li Rifei smiled, smiling strangely
After saying that, Li Rifei looked at Murong Chong and said, "I'll go to Guanggu now. Whether it's successful or not, I will return on the twelfth day. If I can't come back on the twelfth day..." Li Rifei was silent and said:
"That means something has changed. Please quickly lead the troops north to go to the clouds for a while, and take advantage of the old subordinates of Daiguo to protect themselves."
After saying this, Li Rifei looked at Murong Chong silently, waiting for his decision.
Whether a person has the temperament to let his trusted advisers entrust all the hopes of his group to the enemy is a test of his greatness.
Murong Chong thought for a while, he thought for a moment, and then smiled and said, "I promise you, go, everything goes well, just say whatever you need."
"Just rely on my mouth alone"
After saying that, Li Rifei glanced at him and said, "Please prepare quickly for the war and rest the soldiers. Let's see you back!"
In order not to waste time, Li Rifei slapped his horse and left, leaving Murong Chong silently looking at his back
Of course, some people would distrust him and even said something in front of Murong Chong. However, although Murong Chong was young, he could still hold on and ordered no one to discuss this matter. Violators would deal with military law.
He also ordered the entire army to make the final pre-war preparations. For his grand ambitions, Murong Chong also wanted to take a gamble!
The work of persuading Shi Yue was naturally not going smoothly. No matter what Li Rifei said, Shi Yue disagreed. The reason is very simple. In Shi Yue's opinion, Murong Chong is also a traitor. The Murong family is an ungrateful wolf who cannot be fed. Now you are in conflict.
That's really great. Don't feel too good about watching tiger fights. How could I go over and help you?
Shi Yue's aides were even more sarcastic about him, but Li Rifei didn't care about this, because these were already within his expectations, and he believed that as long as he said a word, Shi Yue would be moved in the end.
His words were, "Who is the disaster for Murong Chui and Murong Chong? The general went out to the army, but at the worst he would lose Huainan, but he would get Hebei. And if Murong Chui was destroyed, Huainan could take it again, if Hebei was lost,
Even if Shandong and Henan are there, how long can we stick to it?"
This passage made everyone present fall into deep thought, but after just thinking about it, they had to admit that what Li Rifei said made sense.
Now Murong Chui is sieging Yecheng with all his might. Yecheng is already very dangerous. Once it falls, it means that Hebei is lost. In that case, the fall of Hebei will be like Murong Chui to restore most of the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom, and his reputation will surely be greatly boosted.
In that case, it would be difficult for Shi Yue to defend Shandong alone.
But on the contrary, if Shi Yue cooperated with Murong Chong this time to eliminate Murong Chong, Murong Chong's strength would be limited, and he would definitely not be able to swallow the entire Hebei.
As for the problem of the retreat that Shi Yue was worried about, Li Rifei was also frank. Even if the Eastern Jin Dynasty launched a northern expedition at this time, what if they took Huaibei back at most, but the Huaibei generation was beneficial to the Northern Army and the Southern Army.
If Murong Chui is eliminated, it is equivalent to basically stabilizing the north. It will be enough to retake it. For the Northern Army, it is not difficult to retake Huaibei.
After figuring this joint, Shi Yue smiled and said, "As Mr. said, what should Murong Chui be defeated, General Murong Chong and our army?"
This question is also very critical. Now it is clearly used by each other, but what concerns are between the two sides, but they have to understand clearly.
It is obvious that since Murong Chong rebelled, he was obviously going to restore the Great Yan Kingdom and seek revenge on His Majesty the Heavenly King, so it is basically impossible to surrender him.
But Shi Yue must give it a try. What if it succeeds? In terms of military and political aspects, one must be remembered firmly, never say never, never say
Li Rifei smiled mysteriously and said eight words, "Brothers climb the mountain, work hard on their own."
Shi Yue was stunned at first, then burst into laughter
The words Li Rifei are really meaningless, everything is indifferent.
Now it is cooperation. When Murong Chui is eliminated, then we will rely on our own abilities. You must have the ability to destroy us. You are ruthless. But at that time, if Shi Yue is eaten by us, don’t complain.
After Shi Yue finished laughing, he suddenly said with a solemn expression: "Let the troops!"
After Li Rifei left, Murong Chong began to remain silent. He agreed on the twelfth day. In fact, by the tenth day, many people were impatient. They were in front of Murong Chong, either saying that Li Rifei had rebelled or
It was said that this was Li Rifei's conspiracy at the beginning, or he suggested that Murong Chong make other plans at speed, but there was nothing good at all
But for all this, Murong Chong said in one sentence, "I believe in him."
However, when it was noon on the twelfth day, even Murong Chong was a little suspicious, why he hadn't come back yet
According to Li Rifei's previous advice, if no news has been heard at this time, the entire army should quickly move to Yunzhong, a place where the Qin Empire is weak, to avoid the limelight for the time being. This idea has been praised by many people from all over the country.
To be on the safe side, Murong Chong ordered the entire army to detach the camp and make the necessary preparations. If Li Rifei comes back, he will attack Murong Chui as planned, otherwise he will move quickly
The sun in the west is about to go down, and the whole army is already impatient. At this time, even Murong Chong felt a little chilled. It seems that Li Rifei really won't come back. It seems that he still let him down after all.
Finally, after looking at the sunset, Murong Chong sighed and was about to order a transfer, but he found that the sound of horse hooves came from afar. The sound of horse hooves was so familiar that the entire army did not need to mobilize, and cheered across the sky!
He is back! Finally, he is back at the last moment!
This is also the end of this battle of Murong Chui siege in Yecheng!
Those who have the intention to make a mistake will win
