Liu Yu said with a smile: "Eight thousand armored cavalry are powerful enough, but with Murong Yong's character, he will not bring out all of them. After all, he has to guard against Murong Chui's army from Taihang, so he will bring out at most half of the armored cavalry."
Cavalry, even if there are four thousand armored cavalry, it is not easy for me to defeat him head-on, not to mention that he must have at least tens of thousands of infantry following him. On the surface, we have no chance of winning."
Murong Lan nodded: "I also think so. If you defend the city, you may have a chance, but if you fight in the field, you will die. In the battle of Junchuan, you nominally have two thousand troops, but don't forget that you have
A large number of ambush troops are available, but Zhu Xu may not be able to help you this time, let alone other reinforcements."
Liu Yu nodded: "That's true, but if not, how could I defeat Murong Yong?"
Murong Lan shook his head: "If you want to catch him by surprise, you must have basic strength. Zhu Xu's soldiers and horses will definitely not follow you into battle. How can you defeat his tens of thousands of cavalry? Brother Lang, you
No matter how powerful the war is, you can't let your brothers become soldiers and generals."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Well, if I can defeat Murong Yong and chase him into Bingzhou, how about you go help me and your brother and make the proposal to him as I just said?"
Murong Lan blinked: "In that case, I really have to go to Luoyang with you. I also want to see how you can do these things."
Liu Yu packed up Murong Lan's luggage with a smile: "Okay, let's hit the road together."
Suddenly, he thought of something, put down the package again, and looked at Murong Lan with a wicked smile: "There is still some time before dawn, we still have to wait for Fatty, what he said makes sense, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, look at us
Do you want…………"
Murong Lan grabbed the package from Liu Yu's hand angrily, turned around and walked out the door: "You can guard your daughter here, I have to find a stand-in to pretend to be Zang Aiqin and pay my respects here.
Where's my mother-in-law? Let's meet tomorrow."
Liu Yu looked at Murong Lan's retreating figure, stretched out, and lay down on the bed. His hands gently caressed the bright red wedding dress and shawl, closed his eyes, and murmured: "
Liu Kun, help me succeed!"
Seven days later, Luoyang, South Gate.
The city gates were tightly closed, and the Jin troops at the head of the city looked nervous. They were fully armed, with swords unsheathed and arrows cocked, as if they were facing a powerful enemy. In the open space outside the city, there were nearly a thousand sturdy men standing, almost everyone.
Wearing bamboo hats, some people are dressed in merchant attire, some are dressed like bartenders in restaurants, and some are dressed as hunters, but looking at their motionless appearance when standing, they are like benchmarks, and the cloth clothes cover up
From the constant development of muscles, you can know that these people are one in a hundred, no, it should be said that they are one in a thousand elite soldiers.
Zhu Xu was wearing a general's robe and armor, standing at the top of the city. His beard was already white as snow. Compared with when he was in Feishui a few years ago, his face had many more wrinkles like knife marks, but his eyes were like falcons.
But he was as sharp as ever, looking coldly at the silent "army" outside the city, his light shining, thoughtfully.
Beside him was a nine-foot-long man who was as strong as a bear. His two layers of fine steel armor almost burst due to the strength of his body. This man was famous for his bravery in the Central Plains.
The famous and feared warrior Yang Quanqi.
Yang Quanqi was originally a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family, and his ancestor was Yang Zhen, a great scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty who was famous for his Confucian classics. However, when Yang Quanqi's grandfather Yang Lin and father Yang Liang were two generations old, they stayed in the northern Hu people's regime and served as officials.
After the Zhao Dynasty and the former Qin Dynasty, they followed the southern crossing and defected to the Jin State when the north was in turmoil. Although they were appointed governors of one side in the Jin State, they came too late and served as officials in the puppet dynasty Ni Hu, so they were not seen.
He became a second-class citizen, and even the children of the aristocratic families in Jiankang City regarded the Yang family as a poor family.
Yang Quanqi and his elder brother Yang Guang are different from the learned scholars in their ancestral families. They are both standard fierce generals. In this troubled world where they speak with knives and fists, they do not take the ordinary path and become a generation of strong men, which is also true.
Because of his reputation, Zhu Xu specially transferred him from Feng Gaisuo's tribe in Hongnong area as a deputy general. The five hundred Bubu who followed him were all veterans who had fought with his father and ancestors for many years, which made people feel proud.
Awe-inspiring.
Yang Quanqi looked at the men in black below the city and gritted his teeth: "Commander, these people are obviously well-trained troops. They seem to want to sneak into our Luoyang City. They are cooperating inside and outside. They are coming to report that Fu Pi has gone to Shaanxi.
It seems that the people in the county want to join Bashu by mediocrity, and Murong Yong's army has also arrived at the edge of the Yellow River and can cross at any time. These people are probably the vanguard of the second band of thieves exploring the road, so we must be on guard."
Zhu Xu shook his head: "If they were spies, they should have entered the city in small groups. How could thousands of people gather at the city gate like this? Moreover, they did not bring siege equipment or even wear armor. They obviously did not want to fight, let alone
, they are gathering here in Nancheng. If they are spies sent by the second-line thieves Hu, they should come from the north. Judging from their appearance, they seem to be waiting for someone, not against us. "
Yang Quanqi turned to smile and said: "The commander-in-chief is right, it is true. I was a little bit critical just now and didn't take a closer look. Then should we send someone out of the city to contact these people and ask them what their purpose is.
Woolen cloth?"
Zhu Xu said in a deep voice: "No, just stay here like this. They won't wait forever. I think someone will come to us soon."
Just as he was speaking, a vigorous figure, followed by two people on the left and right, strolled into the group of strange men outside the city. Many people smiled and turned their heads, and there were more than twenty
The person who looked like a leader stepped forward to hug or hold hands with the big man. It was a standard meeting ceremony between soldiers. Zhu Xu looked at their actions, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes:
"These people are the Beifu Army!"
Yang Quanqi became excited when he heard this: "What? It's the Beifu Army. I heard that the Beifu Army's combat power is unparalleled in the world. Looking at the posture of these people, they are indeed rare elite soldiers. But, why do they appear here? Why not
Raising a flag?”
Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, we will understand why soon. I have already seen the leader, and he will help us explain everything."
Yang Quanqi was about to speak when he heard the big man at the bottom of the city take off his bamboo hat, revealing a majestic and unflappable face, and his voice was full of energy, lasting and powerful, making the people at the top of the city stunned.
Everyone heard clearly: "President Zhu, I am Liu Yu, the former leader of the Tiger Force of the Beifu Army. I heard that Prefect Zhu was guarding the isolated city here alone, so I specially ordered the governor of Yangzhou and the general of the town army Wang Gong to lead the army.
Brothers are here to help me, so please be accommodating and let me wait in the city."
