Liu Yu glanced at Liu Jingxuan: "Ah Shou, please take Brother Pilu down first. He should have brought many tribesmen and old tribes to defect to him. When the time comes, you can make good arrangements. I hope he can become a team of yours that can make contributions in the future.
Powerful team.”
Liu Jingxuan's heart felt hot. He understood from Liu Yu's words that he was currently short of manpower. Liu Yu's arrangement was equivalent to giving priority to all the newly recruited soldiers and horses in the process of conquering Yan.
subordinates, just like when Liu Yi went to the west, he had tens of thousands of subordinates in just one or two years. However, once a big country like Nan Yan was wiped out, it would sit in Qingzhou, especially if the Pilu family had such a strong presence in Qi.
With the help of the hugely influential local tycoons, it is not too difficult to have a hundred thousand elite soldiers here in three to five years.
Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth and clasped his fists: "Thank you so much, commander. I will definitely fulfill my mission. Brother Pilu, please follow me."
When Liu Jingxuan left with Pilu Daoxiu, Pilu An and others, Liu Yu looked at the messenger who had been standing respectfully in front for a long time and said in a deep voice: "How is the situation at the front?"
The messenger's eyes were filled with tears. He performed a military salute and his voice became choked: "General Liu of the former army reported that our army successfully captured the Jumi water source and prevented the Yan army's conspiracy to cast a curse in the water source. Meng Long
General Fu, General Meng Longfu..."
Liu Yu's expression changed, and Xiang Mi on the other side shouted: "What happened to the Raptor?!"
The messenger finally couldn't help crying: "General Meng, he died in battle!"
Half an hour later, five miles north of Daxian Mountain, on a small hill, a temporary tent was located here. It was not so much a tent as a tent with a radius of three feet, with more than ten logs inserted around it.
A simple curtain made of a pole and then surrounded by a circle of curtain about ten feet long was used to convene a military meeting in the most urgent situation during marching operations.
But now, there are only three people sitting in this enclosure. Liu Yu, with tears in his eyes, is sitting on the bed in the south, while Liu Muzhi and Wang Shen'ai are sitting on both sides, with different expressions on their faces.
However, the atmosphere in the tent was also unspeakably depressing and heavy.
It was Liu Muzhi who broke the unspeakable awkward atmosphere with a long sigh: "He died before he left the army, which made the hero burst into tears. But now, we have no time to grieve. Thinking about how to deal with it next is the most important thing.
Shi Nu, you are the commander-in-chief of the entire army, don’t let the soldiers see your sadness."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "I can seem indifferent outside, but here, there are only three of us. I really can't help my sadness. It was me who killed the Raptor. I shouldn't let him force himself so hard!"
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "Brother Yu, don't be like this. This is not your fault. The sacrifice of the fierce dragon was for the whole army to grab water. If he didn't go, the Yan army's conspiracy to poison the water would be over."
If it succeeds, not just one person will die, but thousands of soldiers may die. Even the entire Northern Expedition may fail because of this. For the Raptors, it is unfortunate, but for the army, it is the best of misfortunes!
"
Liu Yu shook his head in pain: "I shouldn't have let Raptor act alone. I knew he was eager to achieve great results and still let him be the general. It's my fault. If I let Xiao Zhong..."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Jinnu, don't say that. Xiao Zhong is more calm than aggressive. If it were him, he might have reconnoitred before taking action even when attacking water sources. He might have missed the enemy's poisoning.
Long wants to hunt down Gongsun Wulou, the enemy’s general, and further damage the enemy’s morale. I dare say that if it were you, you would make the same choice!”
Liu Yu murmured: "Yes, the Raptors have been with me for many years. He has learned my fighting style and has my courage. The black robe set up an ambush just to deal with me. Raptors, he is the representative of the Raptors."
I will die!"
Liu Muzhi said solemnly: "So, we can see how terrifying our opponent is from this time. Ji Nu, you must be extremely vigilant. No matter how high you think of your opponent, it is never too high.
. Even the poisoning of the water source may be just a bait. What he really wants to do is to lure the general of our army. He may very well think that you are the one who takes the initiative to commit danger!"
Liu Yu nodded, wiped his eyes, and when he raised his head again, he had returned to his usual calmness and composure: "Fat man, you are right. From the beginning, withdraw all the Shannan garrison and let go of Daxian.
Until now, the clearing of the country without solid walls and luring us to snatch the water source are just black robe's poisonous tricks. His real target is me. If the trap fails this time, the only thing left is to have a duel between the main forces under Linqu City and a decisive battle.
Win or lose."
Wang Miaoyin sighed: "Murong Lan will never use such means to harm you. The beautiful witch who poisoned the water should be He Lanmin without a doubt. In this way, He Lanbu is also determined to fight with Murong this time.
The Southern Yan Dynasty coexisted and died. I heard that the soldiers and horses of the Helan tribe were the elite of the Yan army, and their combat power was second only to the armored cavalry. Helan Lu was known as a famous general in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Judging from this ambush
, the thousands of Yanqi who formed a formation to kill the raptor in the end, advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and even had iron-armored chain horses, they can be said to be powerful enemies."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "If he wasn't a strong enemy, how could he break my dragon?"
Liu Muzhi said seriously: "Now the army has just arrived at the enemy's territory. Originally, the Han people came to surrender, which was a good thing to boost morale and inspire the morale of the army. However, as the forward general, Raptor, his sacrifice will only destroy the morale and morale of our army."
The fighting spirit has been damaged, is it best to block this news temporarily?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "It can't be concealed. Even if we conceal it intentionally, the Yan army will definitely spread the news. Instead of letting his soldiers be deceived and eventually losing trust in our general, it is better to announce it as soon as possible. I know what the brothers are thinking
What, what do you want? Don’t worry, Fatty, I will definitely make the sacrifice of the Raptors the best propaganda to inspire our army’s fighting spirit!”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "I believe you have this ability. Just pretend that I didn't say anything about what you just said."
Liu Yu looked at Wang Miaoyin: "Miaoyin, you have also seen this time. When our army came out of the mountains, the Han people came to surrender one after another, like a crowd. Even some tribes of the Hu people were sending people to negotiate for submission. This is
At present, the morale of the military and the people in Nanyan is high. Murong Chao is acting rebelliously and is unpopular. As long as they can be defeated militarily, the overall situation can be determined. You are the queen, and this time you go on an expedition on behalf of the emperor of Jin Dynasty to recapture the ancestral home of your Langya family.
I hope you can help me appease the people and stabilize their hearts."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "That's what I came here to do, but I think you, brother Yu, can do better. It's like letting the Pilu clan fall under Liu Jingxuan's hand. It's a clever move."
