Chapter 162
"Yes, what the general said is to support the war.c8』c8』c8』c9』c9』c9』c9』c9』c9』c9』c9』c9』c9』c9』c9』o↑』”
Wu Xin continued, "In this way, sending troops to Hebei can not only conquer the hearts of these two beggars, but also capture population and food from these powerful people."
Although Liu Yu knew that the method Wu Xin said was definitely a feasible method, after all, these powerful men surrendered Shi Le and were willing to offer food and grass to the emperor to the emperor, as long as Liu Yu defeated Shi Le, he could completely replace Shi Le's position with stronger force than Shi Le.
However, Liu Yu still felt something indescribable in his heart.
"These Hebei tyrants should have to surrender due to the cruel and bloodthirsty of the Hu barbarians. If we also plunder them, wouldn't it be the same as the Hu bandits? Will the Hebei tyrants be dissatisfied and resist in groups?"
Liu Yu said with some concern. He knew the virtues of these Han tyrants, but he was afraid that this would really push these Han tyrants to the side of the Hulu.
"Shi Le and other barbarians ate the food offered by the powerful, drove the troops drawn from the powerful and killed our people in the Xia Dynasty. Afterwards, we just let these corrupt and powerful men compensate us for some wealth, food and grass. Why are they not convinced?"
As Wu Xin spoke, he became a little excited.
"When the barbarians forced them, they all swallowed their anger. Why did we dare to refuse to accept it? Is this bullying the knife in our hands not sharp?"
"General, if there is such a powerful man, I would like to lead the soldiers to kill his clan. This kind of arrogant man who is arrogant and bullying is no longer worthy of living and becoming a human being."
Wu Xin's words suddenly made Liu Yu feel enlightened.
Now the curtain of troubled times has begun. The fundamental reason for the competition for hegemony between all parties is to compete for these populations, wealth and land. If you don’t compete for it, others will compete for it.
Just like these powerful men from Zhao and Wei, if Liu Yu couldn't bear to squeeze them, when Shi Le came back again, the wealth and power of these powerful men would become Shi Le's capital for recovery.
After all, Liu Yu did not have enough strength to defend the Jizhou area surrounded by enemies on all sides.
"Brother Bocheng's words can be said to be the kindest person."
Liu Yu said sincerely.
After hearing this, Wu Xin bowed and said.
"What I said is vulgar, but it is all heartfelt words. Now the barbarians are as fierce as beasts. Wu Xin and others still have the wish of their hometown in Yanzhao. They are all placed on the general. The general must not be kind to these people who are greedy for life and death. ∈8∈8∈ Read∈∈,≦o≧”
This conversation with Wu Xin really made Liu Yu feel much more determined. At this time, it was a chaotic world that cannibalizes people, and those kindness and righteousness often become obstacles.
"I don't know what the second concern the general said?" Wu Xin couldn't help asking.
Just as Liu Yu was about to start answering Wu Xin, a guard suddenly reported outside the door that it was Liu Yu's planner Hua Xiu.
Afterwards, Hua Xiu came in. He saw Wu Xin also present. He seemed to have something important and said nothing, and directly submitted a letter to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu took it and finished reading it in just a few lines of words.
"Brother Bo Cheng, the second concern I want to say is here."
As he said that, Liu Yu handed the letter in his hand to Wu Xin and asked him to read it himself.
Wu Xin did not take it immediately, but looked at Hua Xiu. He was afraid that some confidential letter would be. He would be worried when he saw some secrets he shouldn't have known.
However, Hua Xiu's indifferent expression made Wu Xin take the letter handed to him by Liu Yu.
In just a few short lines of words, Wu Xin only glanced at it and read it all.
However, the content of it made Wu Xin a little worried.
This secret letter was sent back from Xuzhou in the name of a caravan.
The letter said that Xuzhou Governor Pei Dun had received an order from the Grand Tutor Sima Yue to ask Xuzhou Governor Pei Dun to send troops to attack Qingzhou.
The time and location of the attack are not yet clear.
However, the offensive route should basically attack Qingzhou from east of Mount Tai.
.....
As for why Sima Yue, the King of Donghai, did this, Liu Yu combined Sima Yue in history and thought about it for a moment and could not understand it again.
Since returning from Yanzhou Juancheng, Sima Yue, the King of Donghai, has been sending people to ask him for the captured Yanzhou Governor Yuan Fu. Although Liu Yu did not kill Yuan Fu, it was just after Hua Xiu persuaded him for the sake of the Yuan family in Chen County.
Liu Yu had already taken him into custody. After all, this was a big villain who almost harmed him. How could he be willing to hand over it?
Moreover, Sima Yue wanted not only Yuan Fu, the governor of Yanzhou, but also tens of thousands of people migrated to Qingzhou by Liu Yu, and Jibei County occupied by the Qingzhou army.
If it weren't for fear of breaking up with Jin Ting, who was controlled by Sima Yue, which would be unfavorable to attract refugees, Liu Yu would have long wanted to come out and strip Sima Yue, the "scam stick", and hung the street lamp pole.
However, Liu Yu also knew that Sima Yue was also concerned.
Qingzhou, controlled by Liu Yu, was close to his old nest, Xuzhou, and Sima Yue, who had already built a retreat in Xuzhou and Yangzhou, had to worry about it.
Another one is Wang Jun. The signs of his intention to compete for the highest level of the empire are too obvious.
In terms of strength, Wang Jun’s strong town in Youzhou is not weaker than Sima Yue’s central army.
In terms of fame, well, neither of these two people have a very good reputation, but Wang Jun is still a little stronger than Sima Yue.
So Sima Yue was still afraid of Wang Jun's stimulation, so he was furious and directly broke up his face and forced the palace. After all, the few brothers who supported his brother Sima Yue, now there is only one Sima model left.
However, as the Huns and Han countries' military attacks on Luoyang became more and more frequent, the battle between the Hu and Jin armies became closer and closer to Luoyang.
At this time, Sima Yue had decided to lead all officials in Taiwan to move eastward. Before that, Sima Yue couldn't wait to remove Liu Yu from Qingzhou and take the stable Qingzhou for himself.
Of course, whether to successfully defeat the Qingzhou army in Liu Yu's hands, Sima Yue, the King of Donghai, tried his best to adopt the principle of lenient prediction for the enemy.
In Sima Yue's plan, Xuzhou Governor Pei Dun led his army to attack Jibei County from the southwest, and dispatched Yangzhou Governor Wang Dun and Jianwu General Qian Guan {Hui} to lead the army north from Jiangdong, and then launched an attack from Langya and Chengyang counties. In this way, the three groups could basically attack together and defeat the Qingzhou army at the same time.
Of course, Liu Yu did not know Sima Yue's plan to attack the three-way team, but he was seriously skeptical about whether Xuzhou Governor Pei Dun could launch an attack on Qingzhou according to Sima Yue's order.
Because, based on the information that came almost at the same time, Wang Mi, who was once again promoted by the Han emperor of the Huns, Liu Yuan, had led his subordinates to enter Yuzhou and Xuzhou again.
In addition, refugees from Yingchuan, Liangguo and other places could not bear the local tyrants' forced force, and rose up one after another and surrendered to Wang Mi.
Wang Mi's military strength instantly expanded to more than 100,000 people, and immediately began to stare at Xuzhou.
After learning about this, Liu Yu discussed with Hua Xiu, Dong Ping and others. In a short period of time, Xuzhou Governor Pei Dun must be busy guarding against Wang Mi and had no time to take care of the orders of Sima Yue, the King of Donghai.
In this way, it was a good time for the Qingzhou army to attack Guangping and Guangzong to win over the two beggars, Chen Wu and Hao Ting.
Although Hua Xiu, Yan Jia and others raised objections, they felt that the Qihuo Army was basically from the Sima Yue faction. Even if they had such kindness, they might turn against Sima Yue in the future and these Qihuo Army would still deviate again.
However, Liu Yu knew that although the Qihuo Army in history was born under Sima Teng, he did actively support Sima Yue at the beginning, but soon, as the military pressure of the Huns and Han countries increased, the Qihuo Army completely became "Qihuo", and gradually faded the mark of the Sima Yue faction.
After all, Sima Yue was in trouble, and the Qihuo army repeatedly rushed to rescue. When the Qihuo army was surrounded by the Han Dynasty of the Huns, Sima Yue abandoned it like a piece of grass.
Therefore, Liu Yu believed that these beggars still had the opportunity to completely take them for their own use.
Moreover, Liu Yu also took the initiative to attack Shi Le this time and competed for the war resources that Shi Le had just mastered.
December in the third year of Yongjia.
Liu Yu once again appointed Hua Xiu and Liu Yi as the remaining chiefs, and generals Dong Ping, Li Feng and others stationed in Jibei and Chengyang counties.
Then he vowed to go north to rescue the beggar army in Qingting, Jibei County.
Liu Yu led 10,000 infantry cavalry out of Jibei County, crossed the frozen river surface, and headed towards the direction of the beggars in Guangping and Guangzong.
In front of these 10,000 Qingzhou troops, there were at least 50,000 enemy troops waiting for them.
Although the number of troops varies greatly, Liu Yu is full of confidence.
This time, he wanted to let Shi Le and other barbarians see what the power of money is.
.........
Guangping City.
The biting cold wind is howling, and the dry and snow-free winter is not a good sign.
It is already the end of December. If the usual seasons are the beggars who leave their hometowns will be filled with a cheerful atmosphere in the forts where they live. After all, the New Year will be celebrated in less than ten days.
However, at this time, the city of Guangping where the beggars were stationed in the vigilant army was not at all joy, but was filled with sadness and despair.
Less than 5,000 beggars have been besieged by 30,000 barbarian bandits for more than a month. Guangping City, which was already in short supply of various materials, faced a shortage of various materials after the cruel and high-intensity offensive and defensive battle.
However, the beggars trapped in the city still maintained their high fighting spirit.
In the temporary army commander camp in the city.
The generals led by the refugee commander Chen Wu are discussing military affairs. As for the matter, they are about how to continue to go out of the city to find reinforcements, because according to the current situation, it is probably that in another half a month, everyone will be injured in the beggars in Guangping City, and no one will be intact.
At that time, the beggars, who are already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, will face the end of the city being destroyed.11
