Liu Yu nodded seriously and said loudly: "Master Wang, your analysis is very reasonable. It is true. The Xiyan army crossed the river and broke the stronghold and looted it. They will not attack today. They will repay Murong Yong at the same time.
Let him send a large army to follow up, drive the people on the other side to attack the city, and divide his troops to loot other villages."
He spoke loudly, loud enough for Dong Lei, who was dozens of steps above the outer wall of the village, to hear clearly. When he said this, he turned to look at Dong Lei and said loudly: "Master Dong,
Please notify other villages in the Mengshan area quickly and ask them to move away overnight. The Xiyan Army has many cavalry. If they plunder in separate ways, as long as the roads are guarded, they will not be able to leave even if they want to. Once the Xiyan Army arrives, it will be even more difficult.
We will divide our troops to attack each village and stronghold, and then drive the prisoners to attack Luoyang City. By then, not only will you not survive, but you will also become the vanguard of the enemy's attack on the city, and your death will be meaningless."
Dong Shenhu's eyes widened and he said loudly: "We, the people of the Central Plains, would rather die standing than live on our knees. If the Xiyan Army wants us to surrender, that is just a dream!"
Liu Yu shook his head and said: "Master Dong, it's your own business to be heroic. Don't decide life and death for others. Ants can live in vain, let alone people. If the stronghold is broken, only a few people will die in the end, not the majority.
People will still surrender. Even if they know that they will die tomorrow, they can still live a moment longer. This is basic human nature. Therefore, for the sake of the villagers, the old, weak, women and children, you'd better evacuate now."
Dong Lei gritted his teeth: "Liu Zhuangshi, so you came here on the order of Governor Zhu not just to save us, but because you don't want us to be driven by the enemy and used by the enemy?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "This is called clearing the field with strong walls, and it is also one of the tactics of war. When facing a strong enemy, if you cannot win in a field battle, you will have to defend the city. After all, there are only a few cities. If the people in the vast countryside outside the city, if
If it cannot be protected, it may be used by the enemy. Therefore, all the people in the Mengshan area must be able to retreat back to Luoyang City. This is the military order and the purpose of our coming here. Only in Luoyang City can you get effective
protection of."
Dong Lei said in a deep voice: "But this is our hometown. We have accumulated industries for decades, as well as food and crops. It is not good for us to give up just because we want to. Besides, we always need time to clean up.
Sort it out."
Liu Yu nodded: "You have one day to sort it out. Don't bring too many things. Life protection is the first priority. I will lead my brothers here to fight against the Xiyan Army tomorrow. You will be able to see it then.
Do we have the ability to protect you?"
Dong Lei laughed: "Tonight, I will ask the women, children, old and weak in the village to evacuate to Luoyang first, and your dinner at night will also be provided by us. Eat well and have a good sleep. Let us see Beifu tomorrow.
The army is powerful."
When Dong Lei and his son disappeared from the wall, Liu Yu glanced left and right. Tan Pingzhi, Wei Yongzhi and Liu Daogui understood and followed him to the back of the formation, while Xiang Jing and Kuai En began to direct the formation.
The sergeants sat down to rest, while others, under the command of brothers Tan Daoji, Tan Shao and other brothers, began to arrange the battlefield.
Liu Yu walked to a small hill. From this position, he could clearly see the surrounding terrain. About two miles to the north were dense woods, and to the south was the tall Dongjiawu Fort. Where everyone is now,
It is a basin in the mountains, which can be regarded as a plain. A tributary of the Luoshui River passes through the plain and flows north and south, dividing the place into two halves. Dongjiawu was able to be built here thanks to the river here.
Carry out irrigation and farming. After all, for farming, water must be available.
Tan Pingzhi curled up his lips: "It seems that Dong Lei is still reluctant to withdraw like this. He will still be lucky tomorrow. Maybe, if we lose, he will still want to talk about rebellion and surrender with Xiyan."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It's not a possibility, it's a certain thing. These Wubao masters have no loyalty. They will submit to whoever is stronger. Before, the Qin country was powerful, and they were nominally loyal to Fu Jian. After the Northern Expedition of the Jin Dynasty,
They also claim to be the people of Jin. If Xi Yan comes and the Jin army cannot resist it, they will not fight to the end. Most of them will use some of their stored grain and inventory to reward Xi Yan and promise to pay taxes to them in the future. If this is true,
So speaking of integrity has long ceased to exist in this troubled world."
Murong Lan nodded: "Yes, these Wubao masters usually make friends with neighboring Wubao through marriage or mutual assistance. If something happens, they will join forces to act. But just now Dong Lei saw that the two villages were under attack, and
He did not send troops immediately, but went to explore first. This is not because of your reminder, but because he has always been like this. He will not trap himself easily. If the enemy comes too strong, he will surrender. So, if we lose tomorrow
Now, not only will he not raise his stronghold to fight as he said, but he will surrender to the enemy. This battle is a key battle to establish the prestige of the Beifu Army in the Central Plains. Brother Lang, I suggest you not to trust Da Da
, it’s best to transfer more manpower from Jinyong City.”
Liu Yu's expression became serious and he said: "What I want to say now is very important. Just before I arrived at Dongjiawu, I just received a secret report from the fat man. Liu Yi had already followed the sky while I was away.
Lu Xun and Xu Daofu from Shidao met and reached an agreement on cooperation, allowing a thousand Tianshi Dao disciples to enter the city to help defend it. Therefore, now we cannot get any assistance from the direction of Jinyong City, we can only rely on ourselves."
Wei Yongzhi took a breath of air: "Is he crazy? Cooperating with Tianshi Tao at this time? We haven't suffered enough for these evil Taoists before? He makes his own decisions without consulting you. What does Liu Yi want to do?!
"
Liu Yu said seriously: "I'm afraid Liu Yi had already thought about it before he came back, otherwise he wouldn't have come so easily. Tianshi Dao has become very powerful in the Central Plains in recent years, so it's understandable to want to borrow their power, but Liu Yi has always refused to accept it.
I, when I came to help, I wanted to establish my prestige by doing this. After all, there were no fewer brothers who listened to him than those who were willing to follow me. He Wuji, Zhuge Changmin and the others would not know which side they were on at this time.
, I don’t want to cause internal divisions as soon as I come here. When we win this battle, we can bring back the young people from ten miles and eight levels nearby. By then, even if Liu Yi makes friends with Tianshi Dao, he will no longer be able to master this.
We have taken the lead in the battle, so we must win this battle, do you have confidence?"
