Chapter 438(1/2)
Chenliu County is the key place in the heart of the Central Plains. It not only has a thoroughfare, but also a waterway connecting all directions.
In the era of human transportation of cattle and horses, having the convenience of water transportation is tantamount to having ten times the transportation capacity advantage.
After crossing the ferry in Baima County, Liu Yu led his army south to Junyi, Chenliu County, where he would wait for the arrival of the troops from the three states.
When the army gathered, they then took a boat and went west along the waterway to Xingyang County and joined Zumen.
Liu Yu was already so familiar with this rhythm that he could no longer be familiar with the war.
Although historical books record a battle of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people, the short battle time is just the final key blow compared to a real war.
Only when both sides try their best to do their best in the early preparations can there be the final collision and fight.
Otherwise, if you can't even do the marching dispatch well, you will often lose before the real war.
In the Central Army's tent, Liu Yu was checking the pile of documents on the table, which almost covered all the affairs of the entire army.
The so-called warriors are not very good at making great achievements, and they are often prepared in these things.
Just as Liu Yu was watching and thinking, a personal guard came in to repay him.
"Your Majesty, Secretary Xun is looking for a meeting!"
This Secretary Xun is Xun Sui. After being transferred to the Shangshutai, he became an official who assisted the Shangshuling. He could be regarded as a complete entry into Liu Yu's administration to Taiwan Province.
"Let him come in!"
Liu Yu had previously arranged for Xun Sui to go to the surrounding area to raise some shortage of military supplies and civilians, but most of the progress had already been made, and it was already fast.
After Xun Sui came in, he immediately performed the rituals.
"I pay homage to your Majesty!"
Liu Yu waved his hand immediately.
"There is no need for frequent rituals in the army, let's talk about official business!"
When Xun Sui heard this, he knew that Liu Yu had misunderstood his purpose.
"I have made progress in what Your Majesty has given, but it has not been completed in detail. I am asking you to see Your Majesty for its sake!"
"What's the matter?" Liu Yu asked with his head raised.
"Today, the military commander of the National Army said that a minister's nephew came to ask for a meeting!" Xun Sui said.
"Nephew?" Liu Yu immediately thought of the Xun clan who stayed in Yingchuan.
"Oh, it should not be a nephew of the clan, but a niece, but the daughter of his brother Xun Jingyou," said Xun Sui.
It turned out that after Xun Guan arrived, she did not directly say that she wanted to see the emperor. She was afraid that she would be delayed by being treated as a spy or a troublemaker on the way, so she directly reported the name of her father Xun Sui's brothers.
This made Xun Sui get the news first and then came to pass on Xun Guan.
Xun Sui then talked about the siege of Yingchuan, and then talked about how Xun Guan and others broke through to Xingyang, and how they moved here, just to ask for reinforcements to rescue the siege.
After listening, Liu Yu also admired this girl who was only thirteen years old.
"The siege of Xuchang has been for several months, and it is natural that the city has exhausted its food supply."
However, no matter how much you appreciate, Liu Yu remembers how the people in Yingchuan pleased each other. They not only took advantage of themselves, but also did a lot of things that offend themselves.
For example, many powerful rangers who violated the law on the Han territory of Qingzhou often escaped to Yingchuan to hide, which made Yuzhou area always have many difficult people.
"I didn't accept Wang Hua before, but now I remembered to beg me in my life and death."
Liu Yu smiled coldly.
Although he hated the faces of the Yingchuan gentry, he would not really sit idly by and watch the Jiehu annex the power of Yingchuan. It was a big city with tens of thousands of strong spirits and at least more than 100,000 dings.
However, this did not prevent him from wanting to make the people of Yingchuan suffer more.
"Your Majesty, I feel that Xuchang is extremely critical. Not to mention the time on the way to send reinforcements, I heard that many people in the city already have their ambitions. If there are no reinforcements, civil strife will probably arise."
"At that time, it's probably too late."
Xun Song and others in Xuchang City were also Xun Sui's relatives, so he naturally had to persuade Liu Yu with kind words. Even though the Yingchuan people had lost their face before, he no longer cared about this.
"Is it really so critical?" Liu Yu couldn't help asking. He only knew that Yingchuan County had gathered tens of thousands of Huns and Huns, but he didn't know that the internal situation was already so unstable.
"My words are true and I dare not deceive you at all. Your Majesty can tell me that my nephews are personally inquiring." Xun Sui said very seriously.
When Liu Yu heard this, his heart moved. He really wanted to see this girl who broke through the siege and came to ask for help.
"Okay, let me ask for confidence!"
A few days ago, Liu Yu had already obtained information that the Hun army in Guanzhong had successively come out of seclusion to reinforce Luoyang.
In this way, the Hun army inside and outside Luoyang may increase by several times, and Liu Yu must wait for the arrival of the rear army before acting together before acting together.
Before this, the tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry in Yingchuan were indeed an annoying "flies". They could always threaten the rear of the Han army and the heart of Yuzhou.
Before the war, it was very necessary to clear these Hun soldiers and horses on the periphery.
After Xun Sui stepped down, he soon walked in with a 'teenager' in military uniform.
As soon as he came in, at Xun Sui's instructions, the "Young Man" immediately bowed and bowed.
"I'm Xun Guan, paying homage to Your Majesty!"
Liu Yu immediately asked her to get up without a gift.
At this time, he realized that Xun Guan, dressed in a man's military uniform, was really just like a man in his old age, but his body was taller and more agile than ordinary girls.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for a man to ride and shoot.
"Xuchang is surrounded, how did you break out?" Liu Yu first asked about the most concerned things.
What he wanted was the details. From this detail, he could judge whether what the girl in front of him said was true, because he had already been a veteran of the Hu people, and his ordinary random fabrication could not deceive himself at all.
Moreover, he can also judge the situation in Xuchang City through these words.
When Xun Guan heard this, he immediately quickly explained the incident of leaving the city to fight and break through that night.
When Liu Yu heard Xun Guan personally led his bow and shot several hunters, he immediately showed disbelief in his eyes.
If such a girl is skilled in riding and relies on her BMW to get rid of the pursuers, Liu Yu naturally believed without hesitation that Yuwen, who grew up on the grassland in his family, could do this.
However, if a girl could still calmly lead the bow and fight back among hundreds of fierce pursuers and successfully repel the pursuers, it would be a bit incredible for a girl.
"Is this true?" Liu Yu couldn't help but blurted out.
After hearing the emperor's doubts, Xun Guan suddenly felt angry. She looked up at Liu Yu with her head raised and her chest full of proud expressions.
At the same time, she stretched out her hands and showed her five fingers to Liu Yu to see.
"Look at your Majesty, the thick calluses on your hands are proof!"
Liu Yuding looked at it and found that Xun Guan's hands were very different from ordinary girls. Although they were not thick, they looked strong and powerful at first glance, and there were calluses between his fingers that were not in line with the identity of a noble woman. At first glance, it was caused by shooting archery and gun practice every day.
By this time, Liu Yu had already completely believed it.
He couldn't help but remember a sentence from later generations.
"Although you are a girl, you have a strong voice and a cowardly aroused it!"
After hearing the emperor's praise, Xun Guan was immediately overjoyed. She knew that there was probably no problem with the reinforcements.
"Since Your Majesty already knows that Xuchang is in danger, when will he send troops to help?" Xun Guan looked at Liu Yu with a naive look on his face.
When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately said in his heart that he was indeed not good-looking. Such a heroic girl originally thought she was a rough and generous person, but she didn't expect that she was so scheming. Before she could promise any reinforcements, she had already used the 'when should I send troops' to secretly force herself. Sure enough, women's minds are not simple, no matter how old they are.
"Xun Jingyou is the hope of the scholars and people in Zhongzhou. Since he has long been thinking about returning to the right path, how can I not save you when I die?"
Liu Yu said with a sigh.
"What's more, you are so old that you can do such a heroic thing. I will personally go to help you!"
As soon as these words were said, not only Xun Guan, but also Xun Sui, the Shangshu next to him, was shocked.
"Come to help? Your Majesty, this, this,,,," Xun Sui couldn't help blurting out.
"Your Majesty said this indeed, he deserves the name of a hero!" Xun Guan said deliberately with admiration on his face.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say before that you want everyone in Yingchuan to look good? Why are you going to help again?" Zhao Kun, the general of the guard who had been accompanying him, suddenly said.
As soon as these words were said, everyone was embarrassed.
Liu Yu glanced at Zhao Kun with great disgust.
At this time, Zhao Kun realized that he had made a mistake and quickly pretended that nothing had happened, and looked up with his eyes rolling.
"Haha, I have known for a long time that the Xun family in Yingchuan is a loyal and righteous man. Now when I see you, it's true!" Liu Yu said loudly.
"Your Majesty really wants to fight in person?" Shangshu Xun Sui continued to ask carefully.
"Yes, wait until I order my troops to start, and I will arrive at the city of Xuchang within three days!" Liu Yu said loudly.
Xun Guan was surprised when he heard this and immediately shouted long live.
In fact, this was not Liu Yu's whim, but that he had already noticed the decline of the Huns and Huns surrounding Xuchang in Xun Guan's words just now.
These barbarians were pieced together by Qiang Hu and Jie Hu. They had no friendship with each other, and they all came together for the purpose of plundering.
Among them, the Qiang and Hu people who surrounded Yingchuan for a long time did not plunder many wealthy people because of the solid walls and clear fields of Yingchuan.
