Chapter 522: The question of saving or not saving

On the Baima Ferry, after Zheng Zhiyuan led the navy and marines to break through the Baima Ferry Fortress, he considered the danger and importance of controlling the Tuojiang River channel, so he rebuilt the fortress here and set up a garrison. The garrison was the main general of Liu Yuan, a local tyrant who joined the Dingzhou Navy during the war. Together with the fortress on Baima Mountain, he had a total of 4,000 troops. After Li Qing led his army to attack Chenzhou, he sent 1,000 Dingzhou troops here to strengthen the defense here. The 1,000 Dingzhou troops were led by a Zhenwu Captain and under the command of Liu Yuan.

The five thousand troops have basically reached the scale of a battalion of Dingzhou Army. Liu Yuan was awarded the rank of generals and the army he commanded was also named Baima Camp. Dingzhou is powerful. Since the Dingzhou army entered Shenzhou, it has been unstoppable and has won consecutive battles. Liu Yuan was quite proud of his quick decision on the battlefield at that time. He held Dingzhou's thigh and became a success in the future. Moreover, Baima Du is now the master of his own. Compared to the past, he looked at the face of the generals of the Lu family everywhere, he didn't know where he was stronger. Although Jin Chao, the new Dingzhou Army Zhenwu Captain, was a local general in Dingzhou, he was still in his own right. However, under his command, he never took pride in being a direct descendant of Dingzhou and respected him very much, which made Liu Yuan very happy. Although the two armies had not been together for a long time, they got along very well. Given the reputation of the Dingzhou army, Liu Yuan even asked Jin Chao to preside over the training and adaptation of his original army to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Liu Yuan knew that in Dingzhou, the generals in the army basically started their own business by virtue of military merits and upgraded to the Jin Dynasty. Seeing that Dingzhou had a bright future, if he wanted to have great development, the combat effectiveness of his subordinates was very critical. As long as he could fight a few good battles, would he still be afraid that he would not be promoted?

Liu Yuan, who was passionate in his heart, was happy for a few months, and a large basin of cold water poured down. The Bai army rebelled, and the army of Dingzhou commander Li Qing was trapped in a heavy siege. Although most of the troops broke out, Li Qing was still surrounded and had no idea of ​​life and death. Chenzhou is now the Zeng Lu coalition.

Liu Yuan was frightened and couldn't help but lament that why his life was so miserable? The Lü family came and surrendered to the Lü family, but the Lü family was defeated by Dingzhou and surrendered to Dingzhou. He thought he would embark on the road to prosperity from then on, but Li Qing, a side-successful army, was hit by a backhand by a friendly army on the eve of victory, and lost again. If the Dingzhou army withdrew from Shenzhou, wouldn't he have to lose again?

What should I do?

Liu Yuan was worried about gains and losses, and people were also panicked in the White Horse Ferry. Since Jin Chao, the captain of Zhenwu, was anxious since he learned the news, and repeatedly asked to lead the army to attack and rescue the commander, but Liu Yuan was persuaded to stop Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan had a very good reason. There was no problem in defending the White Horse Ferry, but he had to go out to rescue the commander. If there were fewer people, it would be useless and even be beaten back. If there were too many people, what should Bai Ma Ferry do here? This is a strategic location to control the Tuojiang River, and there must be no loss.

When the news of annihilation of Jinghai and Zhenliao Battalions came, Liu Yuan was also very happy. He immediately prepared to lead the army to attack and rescue the general, but immediately there was another news that the Dingzhou army, which defeated the elite Zeng family of the two battalions, was attacked by the Lu Zeng coalition forces. He suffered heavy losses. Liu Yuan immediately put away his thoughts of sending troops, and was worried about gains and losses in the White Horse Ferry all day long.

But today, he had to make a decision. Tang Hu, the commander of the Dingzhou Army's personal guard camp, sent someone to send a letter of help, asking Baimadu to send troops to respond to the breakout army.

Liu Yuan asked in detail about the current situation of the Dingzhou army that broke out, and his heart suddenly became cold. The once tens of thousands of elite Dingzhou soldiers are now less than 2,000, and there are still tens of thousands of pursuers behind him, surrounding them day and night. If they arrive at Baima Ferry and go to Baima Mountain, there is no doubt that the pursuit army will immediately launch a wild attack on Baima Ferry. How can the Baima Ferry, which has only a few thousand people, stop tens of thousands of enemies? At that time, not only will his body and head separate, the entire family will also lose their lives, but will they not save them? Not to mention that Jin Chao would not agree, just because Li Qing in the Dingzhou army is still in the army. After he arrives, he disobeys his orders, which is basically the same as rebellion, and he will lose his head.

Whether to go or not is a question. After comforting the envoy with kind words and asking Jin Chao to prepare for military affairs, Liu Yuan immediately secretly summoned his own tribe and confidants.

"Things are now, let's talk about it, what should we do? Our decision now will affect the life and death of the family. Everyone must be cautious." Liu Yuan's face was heavy and he looked at everyone and said.

Liu Jiang stood up, "Brother, the form is very obvious now. Shenzhou will definitely return to Zeng's hands. Zeng and Dingzhou are in a rebellion, and it is a bloody hatred. We are stuck in the middle, and it is difficult for us to achieve both sides. If we send troops and bring General Li Qing up the mountain, it will undoubtedly make Baimadu a target. Zeng and Lu joined forces, and there are nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses. General Li is here, they will be willing to kill them and will never give up halfway. Dare to be the eldest brother. Can we defend it? If we can't defend it, when Baimadu falls, it will be time for our Liu clan to be destroyed."

Liu Yuan said heavily: "I also know this, what do you mean?"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Liu Jiang's eyes, "What I mean is that we can re-submit our sect anyway. Taking advantage of this opportunity when General Li asked us to send troops to rescue him, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly took action to take Li Qing down, carried Li Qing's head and joined the sect to Zeng. That would be a great achievement! Can't we get rich for a lifetime?"

"But there are still one thousand Dingzhou troops in the White Horse Ferry now?" Liu Yuan said.

Liu Jiang showed a grim smile on his face, "Brother, as long as we are sure to pay attention, it is easy to pack up those thousand Dingzhou troops without any defense."

Liu Yuan couldn't help but feel moved and looked at everyone, "What do you think?"

"No!" A man suddenly jumped out, "Brother, Liu Jiang is going to kill my Liu clan. If he obeys his attention, our Liu clan will never be repaid. He can think of such a bad idea."

Liu Jiang was furious, "Liu Shan, my idea is not good. Now that Li Qing is defeated, we will follow him to death. That will cause a huge disaster to our Liu clan, and the destruction of the clan is right in front of us."

Liu Shan ignored Liu Jiang and turned to Liu Yuan, "Brother, please listen to me and make a decision before making a decision?"

Liu Yuan himself was also undecided, so he summoned his tribe members to discuss, so he naturally had to listen carefully to various opinions, "Tell me!"

"Brother, our Liu clan lives in Baimadu for generations. When the Lu clan came, we betrayed Zeng and surrendered to Lu and helped the Lu clan fight against Zeng clan. This was a great offense to the Zeng clan. Brother, don't remember. Before the Baima clan, on the Tuojiang River, how many Zeng naval masters were buried here, how many Zeng ships sank into the bottom of the river, and Zeng clan hated us to the core. That's not to mention. Now we surrender to Zeng clan. Even if Zeng clan is forced to accept us temporarily, will we have a good life in the future?"

Liu Jiang retorted: "At that time, it was forced by form. I was helpless. The Lu army that sunk the Zeng Navy was the Lu army. We are just an accomplice. As long as we catch Li Qing, we will be punished and punished, what's wrong?"

"Brother, when Zeng is in trouble, we will surrender Zeng Lu. When Lu is defeated, we will surrender Lu. When General Li is in a critical situation, if we rebel again and are so repetitive, how do people talk about us? How can we win the trust of others? Even if Zeng accepts us, we will drown us in the future!"

Liu Jiang said angrily: "Even if that's the case, then so what? It's better than destroying the family and destroying the clan."

"Don't fart!" Liu Shan roared: "Brother, although Li Dashui is in a critical state now, don't forget that the Dingzhou army attacked Shenzhou with a force of unstoppable force. The so-called elite Lu family members are vulnerable. On the banks of the Tuojiang River, the Jinghai, where Zeng's family was at the bottom of the box, and the two battalions of Zhenliao were so good that they were still wiped out by the Dingzhou army, which was trapped in a heavy siege. The Jingguan, made of tens of thousands of heads, is still on the side of the Tuojiang River. Shouldn't such a striking lesson be learned?"

"So what? At that time, there were more than 10,000 troops in the Dingzhou army. Now there are less than 2,000 people! We will take advantage of the situation and win this battle without any problem!" Liu Jiang also blushed.

"You stupid pig!" Liu Shan cursed mercilessly: "Military Li is invincible in Dingzhou. If it weren't for the Bai people's rebellion, how could it be the most difficult today? I ask you, how many people did Marshal Li lead to destroy Weizhou and attack Shenzhou, and it was unstoppable?"

Liu Yuan's heart was shocked, "The main force led by Mariser Li is the Changsheng Division, plus the Bai tribe's Red Division has a total of 20,000 cavalry."

Liu Shan nodded and said, "Brother is right. The main force led by Marshal Li is only one division. But brother, don't forget that there are four main combat divisions in Dingzhou, and the Changsheng Division is just one of them. If Marshal Li really dies in Shenzhou, what will Dingzhou do? They will launch a large army and go to Shenzhou to take revenge. I dare to ask everyone, a Changsheng Division will defeat Zeng and Lu's army. If hundreds of thousands of troops in Dingzhou attack together, how will Zeng Lu deal with it?"

Liu Yuan was sweating profusely, "You're right."

"If we suddenly attacked and killed Li Dashui, then we would die without a burial place. I am just afraid that when Dingzhou comes, it will be difficult for us to die. Brother, you must be sure to pay attention!"

"What should we do now?" Liu Jiang said: "If we don't kill Li Qing, when Zeng Lu came, we would have a dead end!"

Liu Shan looked at him contemptuously, "If a real man dies, he will die. What's the fear? Even if we die this time, someone will avenge us and will leave a name for us in the future. What's more, will we die? The terrain of Baima Dun is almost in danger. Zeng Lu's coalition is not the Dingzhou army. He wants to capture Baima Dun, hehe, how is that easy?"
