Two hundred and fortieth chapters find another way to gain power 12
One side was in shock, the other side was suddenly attacked. This battle was a shocking one. Liu Yu and Fu Rui, the two most promising young people in the empire, finally had their first duel.
Liu Yu had a favorable geographical location, but lacked preparations and manpower. Faced with Fu Rui's sudden attack, he was once passive. However, at this critical moment, Li Mu showed the astuteness of an old bureaucrat, because he actually rewarded everyone with a heavy reward.
All the young people in the city were mobilized to the top of the city. Of course, when they came, most of them brought stone quilts with them. The stones were used to hit people, and the quilts were doused with oil, set on fire, and thrown down.
Fu Rui's offensive was fierce, but originally they were planning a surprise attack. To be on the safe side, Fu Rui brought a small number of ladders and rush vehicles. But after all, Shouchun is a big city and cannot be compared to a small town. Fu Rui's best chance is to
In fact, it was the first attack, because at that time, there was no preparation at all in the city. Later, when the people in Shouchun City began to mobilize, it became very difficult to simply capture a famous city like Shouchun.
task
However, the coincidence is that Fu Rui's reinforcements and Liu Yu's follow-up troops arrived almost at the same time. Liu Yu's large group first surrounded Fu Rui between the solid walls of Shouchun City and himself, while Chu Yu's follow-up troops
They then led a large group of troops to surround them. Both sides used all their strength to fight to the death outside Shouchun City. For a time, corpses piled up in mountains and blood flowed into rivers.
Later, Liu Yu also led his troops out of the city, and Fu Rui was not afraid and fought in person. The two sides fought fiercely from noon to night. When they saw that neither could defeat the other and both suffered heavy casualties, he decided to give up.
But in this battle, Liu Yu lost nearly 7,000 people. It has to be said that even the last time the Northern Expedition was defeated due to internal strife, it never suffered such a heavy loss in a war. From this point of view,
In short, Fu Rui's ability is truly extraordinary.
But what is comforting is that after putting in so much effort and sacrifice, Shouchun was still able to survive, avoiding the greater losses that might have been caused by being cut off.
But after all, Zhongli has been lost, and the front line of the Huaihe River has been firmly wedged in by Fu Rui, seriously threatening the newly occupied Shandong generation, and Shouchun is too important, Liu Yu himself cannot just walk away, otherwise
If so, if something goes wrong again in Shouchun, the consequences will be too serious.
For the immediate plan, Liu Yu had no choice but to ask for help from Jiankang. His personal ability alone was no longer enough to cope with it.
However, to be on the safe side, he chose to write a secret letter to Xie An first. After all, the Xie family still cultivated its own power. Although he was full-fledged now, he had not yet established his own business.
Moreover, asking for help is a very risky matter, because his trip to the north this time was actually something that went against the imperial system. At that time, he was criticized in the court. In order to calm down the incident, he did not hesitate to use the army to force the northern expedition.
Use war to forcibly settle disputes
Since this matter was already a fait accompli at that time, Sima Daozi and others had nothing to say, because in the south of the Yangtze River, the Northern Expedition had the highest moral standards, and it was difficult for anyone to openly resist. Anyone who opposed the Northern Expedition would be labeled as a traitor.
If you are labeled as a traitor or not enterprising, you will be very passive in politics.
Moreover, in the initial stage, Liu Yu was indeed victorious and recovered a large area of land. The whole country could be said to be rejoicing for a while. This was naturally an unquestionable achievement and no one had any room for comment. Moreover, Sima Daozi and others also
You have to turn the tune higher,
To show that although Liu Yu won the Northern Expedition, it was certainly a meritorious achievement, but what is more important is not that Liu Yu fought well, but that they commanded well and cooperated well. The so-called blaming others for credit is talking about them, so now there is a problem.
, then the nature is different
We didn’t issue an order for the Northern Expedition. You have to go. If you win, that’s it. If something goes wrong and we wipe your ass, then it would be weird not to take the opportunity to deal with you. If those people don’t take the opportunity to pounce on you like hungry wolves, it would be weird.
Weird
After writing the letter, Liu Yu thought about it and gave up the idea of sending a courier due to time constraints. Anyway, the Beifu Army also had carrier pigeons, so he could use carrier pigeons, which would be much faster.
After adding the paint, put in the special bamboo tube, carefully fetched a homing pigeon, packed the letter, and then gently sent the pigeon up to the sky. Watching it fly southward, Liu Yu felt relieved.
These well-trained pigeons can reach Xie's backyard in two days at most. Then Xie An, who has long been accustomed to receiving secret messages, will also receive letters in time.
The matter was settled in time, and Liu Yu, who was extremely tired, was finally able to have a good sleep.
In the past, in order to ensure that the carrier pigeons could be delivered, at least three carrier pigeons had to be sent at a time to avoid accidents. However, this time, Liu Yu obviously only had one carrier pigeon. Because the number of carrier pigeons specially trained by the Beifu Army was limited, Liu Yu left again this time.
I was really in a hurry, so I didn’t bring more.
But Liu Yu, who was lucky, believed that Shouchun to Jiankang was really close and it was his own territory, so there shouldn't be any problems, so he didn't think much about it.
However, he should really think more about it!
People always think that where there will be no problems, there will often be problems. If you are lucky, you don't know how many people have been killed, and they are destined to continue to harm others.
jingkou
Liu Guo stood by the river with his hands behind his back, looking at the water of the Yangtze River rolling eastward, sighing in his heart.
This is the most important military town in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan ruled here and built a city fortress, which was called Jingcheng. After Zhang Hong persuaded him, Sun Quan moved the capital to Jianye and renamed it Jingkou. Later, during the Five Husties in China, the Jin Dynasty moved southward, and Jingkou was
It was once the county seat of Qiao Xuzhou and Qiao Donghai.
, Jingkou became the front line to resist the barbarians in the north. Because it was adjacent to the river in the north and the steep mountains in the south, the situation was dangerous and the military strategists focused on it. The area was the north entrance of the Jiangnan Canal. It crossed the Yangtze River and connected with the Jianghuai Canal to conquer the north, Zhenbei, and An.
The generals' mansions such as Bei, Pingbei and Beizhonglang are permanently located here, so it is called Beifu.
At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty's southward migration, most of the residents in Jingkou were the overseas Chinese from You, Ji, Qing, Xu, Bing, and Yanzhou. Their folk customs were brave and brave. On May 5, the overseas Chinese in Jingkou and Jinling often fought in the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. Huan Wen once
It is said that among the soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, Jingkou is the most adept at fighting. In order to improve the quality of his troops, he even made a special trip to recruit troops from Jingkou.
Ten years ago, in view of the fact that Fu Jian had gradually gained the momentum to unify the Northern Expedition, and the Jiangnan court was still in chaos, if we had waited any longer and waited until the outcome of the political struggle was determined, Fu Jian's million-strong army might have already gone south.
In order to buy time, Xie An overcame the public opinion and sent his nephew Xie Xuan to guard Guangling. He recruited Jianghuai warriors. Expatriates from Jingkou and Jinling counties applied for the election one after another and formed the famous Beifu soldiers. It was with this army that they fought in the Battle of Feishui.
In the middle of the dynasty, relying on the right time, the right location, the right people, and a little bit of luck, the Qin army was defeated, thus changing the situation of the world in one fell swoop.
Liu Yu once spent the most important ten years of his life here, and was eventually the most outstanding young man who came out here. However, Liu Yu, who is taking a nap on the top of Shouchun City, never imagined that he was in Qiuci.
The man named Liu Guo whom I met will appear in his lair at this time
"Chirp~~~" A short and suppressed chirp seemed a bit abrupt in the night. However, at this time, when most people were dreaming, no one really noticed such a sound. Maybe it was a passing bird.
Big Bird? Who cares?
Yes, it is indeed a bird, but this is a sea turtle!
Haidongqing is a kind of falcon produced in the Xianbei Mountains. It is the sacred bird in the hearts of the Xianbei people. In the Xianbei language, it is called "Xiongkulu", which means the highest and fastest flying bird in the world.
It means the God of Ten Thousand Eagles. It is said that only one Haidongqing is born out of 100,000 divine eagles. It is the highest totem representative of the Xianbei people. It is brave, wise, perseverant, upright, strong, pioneering, enterprising, always upward, and never gives up.
spirit
The kind of sea green that Liu Guo had was originally obtained by Duan Ye from Tuoba Gui. There were only two of them. Liu Guo brought one back this time, and Duan Ye also got it from Tuoba Gui.
Yes, at that time, Tuoba Gui was in trouble and was living in the Bald Hair Ministry. Bald Hair Tan fell in love with this good thing, so Tuoba Gui naturally had to give it to him. As a relative, Bald Hair Tan was not polite at all.
Now this kind of magical bird happened to be of great use, because soon, this big bird with a wingspan of two feet and claws almost as big as the palms of three people flew down like an arrow from the string, landing accurately.
In front of Liu Guo
Liu Guo took a dead pigeon from Hai Dongqing's mouth. This homing pigeon was of course the one Liu Yu sent out.
With a slight smile, Liu Guo skillfully found the mailbox from the carrier pigeon, but soon, Liu Guo discovered the paint on it.
The pattern of the fire paint was very complicated. Liu Guo knew at a glance that it must be an encryption method. However, how could this defeat Liu Guo?
Soon, a silk and satin shop in Jingkou City was brightly lit, and seven or eight tailors gathered here.
At dawn, a pigeon flew into the sky and headed towards Jiankang.
Three quarters of an hour later, three more pigeons flew out of the yard, but their direction was towards the northwest.
Liu Guo yawned for a long time and said slowly: "This time my lord saw it, I wonder what kind of job they will give me, Old Liu. Alas, my life is really a life of hard work."
Although he said this, Liu Guo looked a little tired, but his expression was very happy, because he knew a big event in advance.
In politics, news is always so important. Sometimes, even knowing a little bit in advance is enough to change the entire situation.
