Murong Lan opened her eyes wide: "What are you talking about, they want to attack Jiankang? They can't even deal with the Beifu Army in Wudi, so they dare to come like this? Don't forget, Tianshi Dao is not a northern cavalry.
They advanced at a rapid rate of two to three hundred miles a day. They relied on their large numbers to threaten the civilians, but these civilians..."
Speaking of this, Murong Lan pointed outside the city. The women, children and prisoners who had been circled in the open space and sat in groups were often hundreds or thousands of people. They only needed ten or eight sergeants to guard them.
He didn't even dare to move, and said: "But these common people walk very slowly, and it is difficult to reach thirty miles a day. No matter how slow your Beifu army runs, you won't be able to catch up with them."
Liu Yu said solemnly: "What you see is only one side of Tianshi Dao. During the expansion period, the people of Wu need to be fully occupied. It's not that they really need so many people, but another kind of strong wall and clear country, just like you Hou Yan
The strategy used to deal with the Northern Wei Dynasty was the same, leaving no grain or rice for the Wei army. As long as the people followed him, they would no longer farm for the court. Then what would the army that came to conquer them eat and drink? Now there is no harvest in the land of Wu.
The six counties in Jiangbei are in a tight situation, and Huan Xuan has imposed a grain embargo on Jiankang. Even if the mafia bites the bullet and uses the stored grain, how long can it last?"
Murong Lan said thoughtfully: "Yes, fighting with a large army is actually about logistics. Once there is no military rations, no matter how strong the soldiers are, they will only starve to death. Although we, Dayan, have lost Hebei, our strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the field will
It also damaged the vitality of the Wei State. When they arrived, there were more than 400,000 cavalry, but when they returned to the grassland, there were less than 200,000. Hebei is now basically controlled by those Han families. It can be said that this battle will hurt both sides. If not
Abao is hot-headed and loses the decisive battle, so maybe Dayan can still survive now."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "So, if you want to starve the Beifu army to death, you have to coerce the people, instead of attacking everywhere like this. Sun En does not need to land this time, as long as he stays on the island for another year and a half, Jiankang will probably
There will be chaos without war. After all, they have military rations from Wudi that Yanshuai ordered last time, which is enough to feed millions of people for two years."
Murong Lan said seriously: "Then why are they so impatient and insist on taking the initiative to attack? Is it possible that you can also build a fleet of naval architects to go to the island to catch them?"
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Because the situation has changed now. On the one hand, they defeated Xie Yan last time and eliminated their subordinates' fear of the Beifu Army and the main officers and soldiers of the Jin Dynasty. Now even the ignorant people who followed them
Women all think that the Taoists are really invincible, and if they avoid fighting, they will alienate their own people."
"On the other hand, the situation in the Jin Dynasty has also changed. It seems that Huan Xuan will attack Yin and Yang soon. No matter who wins, he will control Jingzhou alone, and then take Jiankang directly, while Qing in the north
A powerful Nanyan regime also emerged in the Xu area. Now that the Beifu army has arrived in Wudi, the north of the Yangtze River is empty. Hu Qi can drink horses from the Yangtze River at any time, and even take Jiankang directly. If he continues to delay, even if he does not cause chaos, he may
If other forces attack Jiankang, it is tantamount to their own rebellion and making a wedding dress for others."
Murong Lan nodded: "What you said makes sense, but no matter how bad the Beifu army is, and no matter how much Liu Laozhi wants to defeat Qiu Feng, he can't just sit back and watch them capture the capital. After gathering the troops, the whole army will go north to pursue them.
Besides, Sima Shangzhi from Yuzhou, including the soldiers and horses from Jiangbei, as well as the troops left behind at Jingkou and the capital, are not weak, and they will not be allowed to succeed so easily."
Liu Yu sighed: "So the soldiers are very fast and they are in a hurry. They want to use Yao Sheng and other handsome soldiers and horses to attack and defend, trapping Marshal Liu and me in Shanyin and this sentence. But their main force is
Abandon the women, children, old and weak, and only take elite warriors, about 100,000 of them, to attack Jiankang. The road from Wuxing to Jiankang may be heavily fortified, but they can bypass the frontal defense line and attack directly at the mouth of the river.
At Hudu, we will rendezvous with the naval fleet here, take the waterway, and land near Jingkou!"
Murong Lan took a breath of air: "What a trick. By capturing Jingkou, you can control the families and properties of the Beifu Army soldiers. Even if the Beifu army is chasing them at this time, they will throw their weapons at them, and even surrender to the rebels and become their hawks."
Minions."
Liu Yu's expression was solemn: "This is what I am most worried about. According to the current intelligence, Sun En, Lu Xun, and Xu Daofu, who defeated Gao Yazhi and other three generals, have no intention of moving in the direction of this sentence. They directly
So they headed for Haiyan, their goal was Hudu, because if they wanted to get directly to Jiankang by land, they should take Wuxing."
Murong Lan bit her red lips and said in a deep voice: "Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you go to Haiyan quickly?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have arrangements there. Xianzhi is there at the moment. I also left Rabbit and Kuai En there, and Xile and Wuji's troops are also at Wuxing's place. If it doesn't work, I can
Go to support. As for Hudu, Yuan Song, the governor of Wuxing, took the initiative to ask for orders to guard there. Although Yuan Gong is not good at military affairs, he is willing to do good and his subordinates are willing to die for the service. If it is not possible, he can stick to it without fighting and hold on for ten days and a half.
OK."
Murong Lan shook his head: "I advise you not to be too careless. Governor Yuan is a good person, but the more he behaves like this, the easier it is for the demons and thieves to scheme against him. Look at them, even this Yao Sheng is so inhumane.
If they can't solve it militarily, they may attack civilians. Only if you stand in front of them personally can I feel at ease."
Liu Yu nodded: "You are right. According to the Dao regulations, the troops are withdrawn at the request of gold. The test of the results of the battle is suspended this time, so the soldiers will receive the reward according to the third level of beheading. Now, I want to select men and horses to rush to Haiyan's aid."
Liu Daogui nodded and ran out. Murong Lan curled up his lips and said, "Okay, now that we've finished business, it's time to talk about our affairs. Brother Lang, to tell you the truth, I'm back this time to help you.
To put down the demon thieves and truly gain military power, secondly, I hope to take Brother Xing back to Nanyan and place him with my little brother."
Liu Yu's expression changed and suddenly darkened: "Aiqin, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly take away Xingdi? Is there anything unsafe for him to stay in Dajin?"
Murong Lan shook his head: "We are actually leaving him in the hands of the mafia now. Although he is in the hands of Xu Xianzhi and his wife, they can't deal with the mafia. If the mafia wants to attack us, Xingdi will be theirs."
It's too unsafe to be someone who can be attacked at any time. Only my little brother has temporary stability and is free from these dark forces, so she can grow up safely."
Liu Yu said coldly: "Do you care so much about your Murong family that you even hesitate to use our daughter as a hostage?"
