Jinnan, Jiangjun.
With a smile on his face, Zhu Xu stood at the top of the city, looking at the dejected captives of the Yan army who were being strung up with ropes outside the city, as well as the armor ordnance piled as high as a hill in a corner outside the city, with satisfaction.
He stroked his long beard and said: "Jinu, you are really yours. The Xiyan army was indeed defeated at the first touch. It seems that it is true to pursue and fight fiercely. This is the specialty of your Beifu army. I have learned it today."
"
Liu Yu was dressed in military uniform, with blood stains all over his body, and the dirt on his face was washed away by sweat. He had experienced a big fight just now, and he was the first to attack the city of Jiangjun. It can be said that the city was broken.
First, he smiled slightly and wiped the sweat from his face: "Murong Yong was defeated in Luoyang, especially the armored cavalry, which was the core force, suffered heavy losses. He did not dare to stay in southern Shanxi, and would definitely retreat to Shanxi.
Yang, use the Huozhou Gorge as a natural barrier to defend against further attacks by our army. The troops staying here, including the troops along the coast, are just the surrendered troops of the former Qin Dynasty. Death is not a pity. Therefore, we must seize the time. This
After the Battle of Yecheng, our Jin army’s boots can set foot on Hebei for the first time.”
Zhu Xu nodded: "However, it will be a bit difficult to attack further. The horses were scouted in front to report. Murong Yong gathered heavy troops in the Huozhou Canyon area. The situation there was dangerous and the army could not deploy. The mountains on both sides were high.
If it is occupied by the Xiyan army, if we attack it by force, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."
Liu Yu nodded: "The troops we dispatched from Luoyang are only five thousand. Even if we recruit the surrendered troops now, they will only be over ten thousand. With this small number of troops, we cannot directly attack by force. Therefore, we should stay put for the time being, rest and wait, and see Murong Chui."
The trend is good.”
Zhu Xu frowned: "Murong Chui? Are you in contact with him?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "At this point, I can no longer hide anything. Before sending troops to Hebei this time, I sent an envoy to Murong Chui and asked him to send troops together to attack Murong Yong. After the incident is completed, the land of Bingzhou will be returned.
We are in the Jin Dynasty, and the gold and silk of the captives of the Western Yan Dynasty can be returned to Murong Chui. If this is not possible, we can at least protect the land in southern Shanxi for the future."
Zhu Xu said in a deep voice: "Sending slaves, collaborating with the enemy is a serious crime. I know you are planning for the country, but you will inevitably be slandered by villains, and the gains outweigh the losses."
Liu Yu said with emotion: "As long as I can regain the territory for the Jin Dynasty, what does it mean to have a little criticism? I was trapped in the barbaric land of the north for more than two years, and many people said that I was treasonous and surrendered to the enemy, but now, I still prove it with actions.
Have you lost your loyalty?"
Zhu Xu sighed: "You and I have similar experiences. We both couldn't help but got trapped among the barbarians. That's why the court and those aristocratic families all looked at us differently. We must not let them catch us.
The crime of colluding with the barbarians, otherwise, our personal lives and deaths are a trivial matter, and the country's great cause of the Northern Expedition will be in vain."
Liu Yu nodded: "Don't worry, the envoy I sent to Yan State is someone who can absolutely be trusted. I believe she can convince Murong Chui. After all, we can cooperate on the elimination of Xi Yan. As for the future,
, take it one step at a time. If Xiyan is finished, I will stay here to guard the newly expanded territory, and the governor can go back to Luoyang to take charge of the Central Plains. Huan Xuan and Wang Zhenjun both have the intention to get involved in the Central Plains. Compared with them, I hope that Zhu Governor will
You can sit in the back."
Zhu Xu smiled slightly: "Wang Zhenjun is your boss and your benefactor. It is understandable that you hate Huan Xuan. Why do you even have to guard against him?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Because Wang Zhenjun always wants to lead troops to join the monarch and kill dissidents. Although he is personally kind to me, he is a very dangerous person to the country. I have nothing to do with personal friendship and national justice."
It is very clear, so we must not let him gain more power, otherwise, the Jin Dynasty will be in chaos."
Zhu Xu nodded and patted Liu Yu on the shoulder: "My brother is devoted to the country. He is a rare loyal and brave man. Unfortunately, I am old and can't help you more. But this time, I will definitely show up.
The imperial court, list your achievements in detail, and ask the imperial court to let you guard Bingzhou alone. How far you can develop in the end depends on your own ability."
While he was talking, a horse came from Dong Juechen. A man on the horse was leaning on the saddle, with a high ponytail tied up. The horsetail was hanging almost straight on the back of his head, like a flying line, as the wind was flying.
, anyone who saw him, while being amazed by his superb riding skills, would also marvel at his grace. Even a dozen knights who wanted to intercept him froze on the spot and clapped their hands and cheered.
Yang Qi's eyes widened at the foot of the city. He turned to the sergeants behind him and said in a deep voice: "Get ready to fire arrows." And he himself picked up a big bow and pointed it at the incoming man.
Liu Yu said quickly: "General Yang, wait a minute, he is my scout. Don't let go of your arrows."
Yang Qi was slightly startled, and saw that Lai Qi had already run within ten steps of him. The knight on the horse suddenly rose into the sky, and a long rope in his hand spun around in the air and was directly tied to the city head.
A crenel, and a pair of slender feet, just a little bit on his shoulders, a graceful figure rose into the sky, like a big black bird, went straight to the top of the city, and landed steadily beside Liu Yu.
The series of movements were so smooth and so beautiful that even Yang Qi, who was stepped on, cheered.
Murong Lan's peerless face was displayed in front of Liu Yu's eyes. Her beautiful face was covered with beads of sweat, and her outfit was also wet with sweat, mixed with dust, and stuck firmly to Liu Yu's body.
Smiling slightly, he was about to introduce to Zhu Xu: "This is the envoy I sent to the State of Yan..."
Murong Lan was so anxious that he didn't wait for Liu Yu to finish his words before he said: "Jinu, we are in urgent need. My great, Emperor Murong Chui of Yan has already sent troops to cross the Yellow River and point directly at Luoyang. He will not help you attack Murong Yong, but
On the other hand, we want to capture the Central Plains. We cannot stay here for long, so we must return to the army as soon as possible!"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed: "He really sent troops to Luoyang?"
Zhu Xu was so shocked that he almost fell down. He held on to the battlements to keep himself from falling to the ground. His white eyebrows raised: "What did you say? Murong Chui wants to attack Luoyang?"
Murong Lan gritted his teeth: "It should be absolutely true. I finally came to report the news after escaping with great difficulty. He himself should have led the army to go on an expedition."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Great, are you sure that Murong Chui must have gone on the expedition in person? Not in Yecheng?"
Murong Lan was slightly startled: "That's not true. It was Queen Duan who told me that he was not here. She also helped me escape. I don't think she would lie to me. If Murong Chui is still in Yecheng, what will happen to me?"
How is it possible to escape?"
