After a day and a half of journey, Jicheng arrived.
Nothing has changed here. The city walls are still so dilapidated and moss marks can be seen everywhere. Rumor has it that Wang Yu particularly dislikes building city walls and palaces. After occupying a place and ensuring safety, he will demolish the city walls on the grounds that they are unsightly.
tear down.
People in Liaodong did not know the authenticity of the rumors before, but based on what they saw on the road, they felt that the rumors were somewhat reliable. After Wang Yu occupied Youzhou, he repaired and expanded the port, built many brand-new residences, built canals, and built dams.
Canals were even dug in the Quanzhou area, but not a single tile or a handful of earth was added to the cities along the way.
These irrelevant things are certainly not the focus of the people of Liaodong, but Gongsun Du and his confidants know very well that this time they are here to seek peace and subjugation. Understanding Wang Yu's preferences will be very important for the future of Liaodong.
Helpful, even seemingly irrelevant information may be useful at some point.
The person in charge of welcoming him was no stranger to Gongsun Du. Even in Liaodong, he had heard the name of Tian Yu and Tian Guorang, and he even tried to win over him.
Gongsun Du didn't express anything. He just exchanged greetings and exchanged greetings with the other party in accordance with etiquette and regulations, but Liu Yi felt a sense of desolation in his heart. Tian Yu was not a direct descendant of Qingzhou. The time when he first came into contact with the Qingzhou army dates back to You.
The state war is in the middle and late stages, and the time to officially join will only be later.
Liu Yi did not expect Wang Yu to personally come to welcome him, but he sent this person to do the reception work, not Xu Huang or Zhuge Liang, so this specification can be imagined.
There is no doubt that the Hussars General did not regard Liaodong as a dish at all.
Especially when he saw Tian Yu and Gongsun Du exchanging pleasantries and then turning to General Taishi Ci, smiling and joking, his heart suddenly became even colder.
"General Ziyi, you are going to be in trouble this time." Tian Yu's smile was full of teasing, without any of the solemnity he had just when he was greeting Gongsun Du.
"No way, my lord is really angry?" But Taishi Ci acted very nervous, pulling Tian Yu nervously and asking. Although Wei Yan seemed calm, his eyes kept piercing.
Her ears are erect and her ears are erect.
"Why not?" Tian Yu raised his face and scolded: "Before departure, Lord Qian warned Wan that you and Chang Wen should focus on guarding the grain road and not cause too many troubles. It's just Wuhuan. Do you think Wenyuan can solve it?
How difficult will it be to get up? But look what you did? After listening to the battle report, I felt a little angry, my lord... Oh, don't mention it!"
"This is terrible!" Before Tian Yu could finish his words, Wei Yan stumbled and said, "I told you not to be too meddlesome. Although there is no chance of meritorious deeds in guarding the grain road, it is better than making one's own decisions. Isn't it troublesome now? Brother Ziyi
, if my lord turns around and asks about what happened that day, don’t blame me for being unloyal.”
"You are an unscrupulous scoundrel!" Taishi Ci was annoyed and pointed at Wei Yan and scolded: "If you really like to pledge grain, do you dare to say it in front of the lord and then pledge grain and grass for the rest of your life?"
"You, you are making excuses!"
The two living treasures were refuting and criticizing each other, which was actually a bit funny. Even the soldiers guarding the city gate were snickering, but the faces of the Liaodong generals were all bad.
Wang Yu appointed these two generals to escort the grain and fodder, and the target of the defense was naturally the Liaodong Navy. But from the beginning to the end, the Qingzhou generals did not regard the Liaodong Navy as a serious problem, and they also did not pay attention to the Liaoxi Wuhuan.
.Taishici set fire to the camp and defeated Xu You just out of boredom.
From the standpoint of the Qingzhou Army, the laughter of these two men revealed a world-leading self-confidence. But from the standpoint of the Liaodong Army, they were not taken seriously before the war, and even more so after the war began.
Being easily defeated in one meeting, the double blow of fact and psychology is really not that easy to bear.
But there is no other way. The situation is stronger than others, so what can we do if we don't bow our heads? Just as the lord said, we can only endure, and patience will turn into gold.
On the other hand, there was no abnormality on Gongsun Du's face. He looked at Tai Shici and Tai Shi Ci with a smile, as if he could taste and appreciate the confidence and arrogance from their laughter.
While Liu Yi was lamenting, he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart that his lord may be less courageous, but his ability to bend and stretch is far superior to Wang Yu's.
There was a commotion for a while, and Taishi Ci and Tian Yu whispered a few words and hurriedly left. Tian Yu explained that the two wanted to find a way to clear the door and find someone to talk to, so as not to be accused by Wang Yu.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yi couldn't hold himself back and asked loudly: "I dare to ask General Tian, even if the hussar general is strict in running the army, he must pay attention to rewards and punishments, and the merits and demerits should be balanced, right? Let alone General Taishi Ci who set fire to the camp.
, defeated the Wuhuan main force led by Xu You in one fell swoop, greatly accelerating the process of the Battle of Western Liaoning. Even if he was guarding the grain road, he didn't make any mistakes, right? Why are you so anxious in front of us?"
Liu Yi's last words were what he wanted to say, why bother to act in front of him, but before he could say anything, Gongsun Du's sharp eyes swept over him, and he could only swallow the original words abruptly and changed his words. But Tian Yu
How could such a smart person not even hear this hidden meaning?
Tian Yu smiled slightly and replied: "The clear distinction between rewards and punishments and the balance between merit and demerit are inherently contradictory. Merits need to be rewarded, and faults need to be punished. How can they be said to be contradictory if they are clearly distinguished? As for accelerating the progress of the war, this matter really doesn't matter.
It’s easy to say... maybe some of you don’t know this yet? After Tadun was shocked to hear the news of his defeat, he panicked and immediately abandoned Yiwulu Mountain and fled into the grassland with thousands of his clan members."
"Ah!" Liu Yi exclaimed in surprise.
The Wuhuan Army in western Liaoning and the Liaodong Army are also old rivals. In previous conflicts, although Liaodong has the upper hand, it is just an upper hand. It is still far from being able to truly overwhelm the opponent. Now Tadun has left behind the old and weak troops.
Running away showed how scared he was in his heart, and Tian Yu spoke of it in such a calm tone, as if he was trying to do his best, so how could Liu Yi not be depressed.
"According to the master's established strategy, this battle is to completely annihilate the Wuhuan in western Liaoning. Without General Ziyi's fire attack strategy, the course of the war should have been that General Wenyuan led the main force to advance step by step, and General Bogui annihilated
After destroying Xian Yufu, they launched a long-distance attack, cut off Tadun's northward escape route, and annihilated Wuhuan under Yiwulu Mountain. Now, although Wuhuan has been destroyed, Tadun has become a fish that has slipped through the net, and may cause some problems in the future.
Little trouble..."
Tian Yu spread his hands and said: "General Liu, you are also knowledgeable about soldiers. General Ziyi did not clearly inform the Chinese army before he used his plan. It was General Wenyuan who guessed his plan from clues and changed the deployment and coordination.
You have to make meritorious deeds, tell me, what merit can General Ziyi deserve?"
"..." Liu Yi shut his mouth tightly. He finally understood that in this negotiation, the people of Qingzhou had made up their minds to suppress the morale of their side to the end. It was useless to say anything. Who would let others do it?
Is it that strong?
In this way, in a dull atmosphere, a group of people arrived at the city guard's mansion where Wang Yu served as their headquarters, and sat down in the flower hall, but Wang Yu did not appear for a long time. Tian Yu seemed a little surprised, and while accompanying him, he looked around twice.
He hurriedly left three times and grabbed some people dressed as staff, seemingly asking about Wang Yu's itinerary, but each time he came back disappointed.
Liu Yi did not believe Tian Yu's superficial efforts this time. He was very sure that this was Wang Yu's way to wear down their patience, maybe just to avenge Zhang Fang's mission.
Gongsun Du seemed to think so too.
When Liu Yi secretly looked at his lord's expression, he found that the old god Gongsun Du was lowering his head and doing it. It seemed that he had fallen asleep and was not disturbed by anything outside at all.
Liu Yi secretly smiled in his heart, Tian Yu's flirtatious look was thrown to a blind man, no matter how you sneer, I will remain calm, what can you do to me? As long as the lord can keep his composure, the negotiation may be smoother than imagined.
.
You don’t have to give up the territory or anything, and you agree to everything first, unless you don’t leave. After you leave, what’s the problem for me to come back?
"Oh, it's true that General Ziyi and the others went to plead guilty so quickly, and ended up entangling the lord. It's really... General Gongsun, everyone, it's really not my lord's intention to be negligent today, it's really..."
Tian Yu explained and apologized, but got no response. What he said was boring, so he simply waved his hand and left.
But after all, he was here to welcome guests. Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "Come here and serve tea to all the generals."
Seeing Tian Yu flinging his sleeves and leaving, Liu Yi felt a sense of relief, letting out all the suffocation he had been holding in since he arrived in Jixian County. Calling you a show? Calling you hypocritical? If you have the ability, continue to sing a one-man show? Let's see who asked for it.
Not interesting!
Gongsun Du also raised his eyes, with a hint of contempt in his eyes. If you are not arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat, you will be a victorious lion. Although the Qingzhou army is powerful, it adopted this posture after the victory. It can be seen that the number of people in the army is
How can the arrogance and luxury last long? On the contrary, I have seen a lot during this trip, and I have gained a lot of insights. Maybe this is the opportunity to take risks.
Thinking of this, the depression caused by the tragic defeat gradually disappeared, and Gongsun Du began to think seriously and make new plans for the future.
The foundation of Liaodong is 80% unsafe, but since Tadun has the courage to flee north, why should he be trapped in Liaodong? Goguryeo and himself have a deep hatred, and they will definitely not be able to survive, but King Fuyu is his son-in-law, and the two sides have been working together to deal with it.
Goguryeo, it must not be difficult to borrow a piece of land there.
Then, it is natural to use the new understanding and knowledge to readjust the mentality and create a new world.
Now that Xianbei has been defeated and has fallen into internal strife again, it is time for the grassland to use force. First, seize the land from the Goguryeo people, and then use Qingzhou's farming methods to cultivate the fields. When the troops are well-prepared, they can then drive the Xiongnu to the west and attack Dingling from the north. It is no better than being trapped.
Is Liaodong stronger?
However, the climate in Fuyu and Dingling is much colder than that in Liaodong. Without proper ways to keep out the cold, it may still be difficult to survive.
Thinking of this, his eyes unconsciously fell somewhere in the hall, and his heart suddenly moved, and he exclaimed: "Huh? This thing... is very weird!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature for more novels.
