In the evening, outside the city of Shaanxi County, there is a battlefield.
More than twenty large pits several feet in diameter have been dug by the dejected and disheveled prisoners of the Xiyan Army. More than two thousand corpses are being carried into these large pits one by one by the prisoners. The soldiers of the Jin Army
Many of the weapons in their hands are still dripping with blood, but their faces are filled with smiles of victory and confidence. Listen carefully to their words, and you will find that most of what they say is actually Bashu.
The dialects in this area are by no means the strong local accent of Jingkou.
Liu Yu crossed his arms and stood on a small hill in the center of the battlefield. A strong figure, whose whole body had been stained red with blood, stood side by side with him: "Jinnu, this time my fur ball can stand
With such a great achievement, thanks to your help, five thousand Xiyan elite soldiers were eliminated in one battle. This is a great victory that our Jin Dynasty has not achieved in many years after the Battle of Yecheng."
Liu Yu smiled slightly, turned to look at his old friend, and said with a smile: "How long has it been since we last parted?"
Maoqiu curled up his lips: "It's been almost ten years, but even ten years can't erase the friendship we had in the blacksmith camp. If it weren't for you, our Mao family wouldn't be able to turn around. This time, you helped me again."
one time."
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "It's you who helped me. Without your Liangzhou and Yizhou soldiers and horses, I wouldn't have been able to wipe out these five thousand Yanqi here. Can you because of my words?
At the risk of being punished by the imperial court, Liu Yu led 20,000 troops south from Hanzhong to support me. This friendship will never be forgotten by Liu Yu."
Mao Qiu smiled and waved his hand: "Yizhou and Liangzhou were conquered independently by our Mao family army, and the court could not control them. In the past few years, they have become an independent world for my Mao brothers. Not to mention 20,000 soldiers and horses.
Fifty thousand men and horses are also available. This time you lured the Xiyan army and set up an empty city as an ambush. We wiped out the enemy troops with almost no effort, but it was a pity that their commander Wang Ciduo ran away.
"
He said, pointing to a bloody human head hanging under the horse's neck: "Only this Wu Zhi, because he was trapped in the city, still didn't run away. It's strange to say that when we surrounded and suppressed these swallows and dogs in the city who were desperate, the casualties were actually more than
What is the reason for destroying the main force outside the city, the big slaves who are about to come?"
Liu Yuren smiled slightly: "The Yan army in the city knew that they were ambushed and the four gates were closed. They had only one chance to die, so they resisted desperately and fought to the death. But for the Yan army outside the city, we left them a way to escape.
, so everyone thinks that he will be the lucky one, rushing to escape instead of fighting. As a result, more people will be trampled to death or killed fighting for the road than your subordinates. The so-called trapped beast still fights, as long as this
Let go of the word "trap", and they have hope of survival, so naturally they lose all will to fight."
Maoqiu suddenly understood and nodded: "So that's the case. In that case, Wang Ciduo can be considered a slave that you let go on purpose."
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, these Xiyan thieves may not be very good at fighting, but they are best at escaping. How often has Wang Ci been in battle? If he sees that the situation is not good, he will escape on his own. Don't give him that fierce attack."
His appearance is deceiving, he is actually the one who is most afraid of death and the best at saving his life. However, I just want to keep him to pass on the news of the failure and the appearance after the tragic defeat to all the Xiyan soldiers. This is better than a few
Sending the heads of ten generals over can destroy the enemy's morale even more. If the enemy is really wiped out, it may make them share the same hatred."
Maoqiu laughed and said: "Forget it, you don't want these heads, I want them. We can just take them back to Liangzhou and let the disaffected locals see what we are capable of."
At this point, Maoqiu curled up his lips: "However, before going back, I have to go to Luoyang with you to help you defend it. Although Xiyan lost an army, the main force is still there. You only have a thousand men. This time
I just brought two hundred brothers out of the city to fight this battle. I expected you to have a hard time defending the city. As a brother, how could I not save you?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "The Liangzhou and Hanzhong you are guarding are the throat of Bashu from Guanzhong. Xilian Qiuchi is where the power of the Yang family of the Di tribe lies. Since the former Qin Fu Pi was attacked and killed by Huan Xuan this time,
After that, Yang Ding, the king of Qiuchi, who used to be at peace with you, and Fu Deng and others of the former Qin Dynasty may regard me as an enemy of the Jin Dynasty and attack him, especially Yang Ding.
Zhi, once Fu Pi dies and has no restraints, he will definitely expand his power in all directions. Your Hanzhong will bear the brunt. Therefore, now not only can you not go to Luoyang with me, but you have to return to Hanzhong as soon as possible. If you are late, I'm afraid you will go to Hanzhong.
The land of Sichuan and Sichuan that we have worked so hard to conquer will be lost again."
Mao Qiu frowned: "It's all because of Huan Xuan, a guy who failed to achieve anything but failed. Originally, our relationship with the former Qin Dynasty was pretty good, but he insisted on coming here to attack and kill Fu Pi. Now he has to deal with the entire former Qin Dynasty.
I really don’t know what he thinks.”
Liu Yu sneered and said: "He just wanted to use this power to seize Jingzhou for himself. Not to mention you, his father's long-time subordinate General Zhu Xu was also betrayed by him. The Shaanxi County where we are now, Hong Kong
The agricultural land is the barrier that protects Luoyang. Isn't it still something that he can abandon at any time? But having said that, if he hadn't abandoned this place, I wouldn't have dared to let you just cross the two counties and come to meet me.
.”
Maoqiu gritted his teeth: "Then if I go back to Hanzhong, what will happen here?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "You have moved the people here to Hanzhong, and the territory belongs to Yuzhou and Sizhou after all. Let it be returned to General Zhu Xu. He will handle it properly. I want to return to Luoyang immediately.
I won’t see you off.”
Next to Mao Qiu, a man in his thirties, who was Mao Qiu's fifth brother Mao Can, frowned: "We can send troops from Yizhou to help defend Hanzhong, and our army will move to Luoyang.
"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Absolutely not, brother Mao, Yizhou is naturally isolated, and the Shu people are comfortable by nature and are not accustomed to military affairs. Forcibly recruiting them to go out is just for fear of trouble. These Hanzhong soldiers and horses are direct descendants of your original Mao family army, so they can naturally be used."
, but whenever Shu soldiers want them to go out to fight, they need to think twice before doing so."
Maoqiu said sternly: "I understand, thank you for reminding me. Then how can we help you after we return to Hanzhong this time?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I have my plan. After defeating Murong Yong, I will make another Northern Expedition depending on the situation. The goal has not yet been determined. If I decide to take Guanzhong, I will need your army to leave Qishan or Ziwu Valley.
Go to Chang'an and build a great cause with me."
Maoqiu excitedly clapped his hands: "Great, I've been waiting for this day."
