Today's second update, please give me flowers and collect them ----------- "Xiandi." Liu Yu looked a little displeased, "Our Beifu Army are all descendants of northern refugees. We all train hard day and night to improve our morale."
The sky is high, Xie Shuai is strategizing, Liu Shuai is the brave leader of the three armies, with such a powerful army, who can be the leader in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains?"
"In the past, Huan Wen's Northern Expedition and his troops against Beifu, who was stronger and who was weaker? Compared to Fu Jian, Murong or Yao Xiang, who was stronger or weaker? So why did Huan Wen fail?" Duan Ye asked with a smile.
"Huan Wen's Northern Expedition was not to regain the country, but to accumulate merits and establish prestige for his usurpation of the throne. There are people in the court holding back, so naturally he cannot be defeated." Liu Yu felt a little depressed when he mentioned this matter, and even beat him with his hands bitterly.
Touching the sand, "What a shame, if Huan Wen had captured Guanzhong in one fell swoop that time, what would have happened now would have been the same, and Fu Jian's army would have been allowed to go south, forcing our country to suffer such misery."
"So, if Beifu launches the Northern Expedition, will the whole government be united? Will it stop holding back? Can we guarantee that we will not fall short?" Duan Ye asked sharply.
Liu Yu was silent. The answer is obvious. After the Jin Dynasty crossed to the south, when did everyone work together as one? Except this time, when a million troops threw whips to cut off the flow, everyone really had no choice. It has never happened before, and it probably will never happen in the future.
.
"You're right. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it this time." Xue Lingzi and Jiangyu came hand in hand. Jiangyu unceremoniously sat next to Duan Ye and warmed himself by the fire. Xue Lingzi sat opposite Duan Ye and lowered his head.
said the voice.
"Congratulations, Liu Yu, for being able to become sworn friends with Master Duan. I can only be happy for you." Xue Lingzi was thoughtful and generous. Liu Yu was naturally even more grateful.
"Girl, I see it clearly. But according to Duan Ye, since we can defeat Fu Jian, we can still regain some of the lost territory. At least south of the Yellow River, we can probably get it back." Duan Ye looked at Jiang Yu, but saw that she didn't interrupt.
, so he said to Xue Lingzi.
"The land of Henan? Hahaha, even if we gain this place, defend it with thousands of miles of front, and then lose it again soon, what's the point?" Xue Lingzi said with a bitter smile.
Duan Ye was greatly shocked. It was really not easy for a woman to have such insight. You must know that once the southern government advances, it will only advance to the front line of Henan, and then guard the river at the pass, and use the Tongguan Yellow River as the line to arrange defense. In this way
As long as the north makes an attack from one or two places when the autumn is high and the horses are fat, the line along the Yellow River will collapse. At least this was the case with the Liu Song Dynasty. They made plans in the four towns of Henan many times, but each time they were overwhelmed by the cavalry and the defense line was broken.
Sure enough, Liu Yu did not give up and said: "The four towns of Luoyang, Jinyong, Huatai and Hulao all lock rivers and cover their passes. They are famous cities in Dayi. If heavy troops are stationed here, and Tongguan is dangerous, the enemy will attack.
If they can't welcome the enemy, if they attack the enemy's fortified city, I will disturb their retreat with troops and horses, while the main force of the reinforcements will wait until they are exhausted and then attack them. If they bypass the four towns and ride southward with light cavalry, they will use the Huaihe River as a blocker.
If we prevent it from crossing south, the southern troops will attack it from the north, and the four towns will cover it up and kill it, there is no need to worry about not being able to win completely."
It should be said that Liu Yu's idea actually makes sense. In fact, Liu Song also did this in history. However, after repeated battles along the Yellow River, the nomads in the north finally took advantage. It cannot be said that the soldiers did not work hard, and the tigers
Mao Dezu defended the prison for almost a year, but unfortunately he still could not withstand the overwhelming attack from the north.
The reason actually lies in the location. The four towns are close to Pingcheng and far from Jiankang. The Huanghuai River is good for cavalry but not for infantry. What's more, if grain is transported thousands of miles, half of it will be eaten on the road. Unless the water transportation line is opened, the baggage problem cannot be solved.
Liu Yu's Northern Expedition was successful because he could use ships to transport troops. Later, when the Tuoba tribe unified the north, they lost this condition, so Yuan Jia made haste and went to the north in a hurry.
The hero saw the same thing, and Xue Lingzi also clearly raised his objections, and the reasons were almost exactly the same as what Duan Ye thought. Duan Ye really appreciated her more and more.
Liu Yu was also a smart man and understood everything he said, but now he felt a little discouraged and said, "It would be a pity to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"That's not necessarily the case," Duan Ye said, "The war is about politics. If the country is unstable, power is inconsistent, and the people are not supportive, we cannot fight at will. If the Northern Expedition is just to gain prestige and has ulterior motives, it will not succeed. Even if
Even if you win for a while, you will definitely lose. Huan Wen has already fought to the top, and the people are eating pots of wine to wait for the king's master. What will be the result?"
Adjusting his buttocks and sitting closer to Jiang Yu, Duan Ye talked eloquently: "If we want to carry out the Northern Expedition, firstly, everyone in the country must be united and no one is holding back, secondly, the world must change, and thirdly, strategy and tactics.
"
"I would like to hear the details." Xue Lingzi also listened seriously this time.
"I think that the northerners are good at cavalry, while the southerners are good at infantry. To use short attacks to attack long ones, we must find another way. The terrain in the north is not conducive to us, so we should advance from right to left and gradually advance. Take Qingzhou first, cut off the right wing, and open up the waterway.
, this way you can avoid the pain of transporting grain thousands of miles, then take Henan, occupy four towns, as the elder brother said, and finally refuse to defend Tongguan to prevent the enemies in Guanzhong from leaving. Then turn north to take Hebei and Youzhou. In this way, the world
Can be determined."
"Okay!" Liu Yu clapped his hands, "My dear brother is really talented. This strategy is majestic and powerful enough to open up the situation. It can also use strengths and avoid weaknesses. It would be great if Commander Xie could hear this strategy."
Xue Lingzi's expression was a little complicated. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Duan Ye and said: "Mr. Duan is a great talent, but Xue Lingzi is not as good as him. However, good birds choose trees to rest, so why don't Mr. Duan go to the south of the Yangtze River to assist the Ming Dynasty?
Recovering China can be considered a great achievement, so why commit yourself to the hands of thieves and do such a dangerous thing?"
Sure enough, they started to recruit, and Duan Ye was almost moved, but then he remembered the tragedies that had happened in history, and he still refused harshly, saying: "The girl is kind, and Duan Ye understands it. However, although Jiangnan is rich, it is not a country of martial arts, so it is suitable for
Big brother, you are not suitable for me. Big brother is the quality and good talent that I can really rely on. Why should a girl choose the distance from the near?"
Xue Lingzi glanced at Liu Yu and said: "Yes, I know Liu Yu's talent, but why worry about so many talented people? It's a pity that Mr. Duan's great talent is buried here."
"Yes, dear brother." Liu Yu also began to persuade, "Miss, you are so sincere. If you go back to the south of the Yangtze River and join my northern mansion, you will be able to stand out in a year or two based on your talent and learning, and later become Commander Xie and Commander Liu."
It’s very possible to be left or right handed.”
Duan Ye doesn't like him, he wants more! So Duan Ye waved his hand and said: "No, this is not what you two thought. It's not a pity for Duan Ye to stay here. After a year,
In the interior, everything north of the Yellow River will inevitably be turned upside down, and here in Longyou, west of the river, heroes from all walks of life gather. Duan Ye believes that this is the place where Duan Ye is best suited to perform. Besides, I have another reason to stay here."
"What's the reason?" Xue Lingzi asked with concern.
"It's her." Duan Ye pointed at Jiangyu, who had been silent and warming herself up to the fire, with infinite tenderness in his eyes.
