Liu Yu was speechless, just staring blankly at the city wall in front of him. Hundreds of ladders and towers were erected on the city wall. Countless sergeants were attacking the city wall along the ladders or wooden ladders of the siege towers.
, like raging waves hitting the shore, wave after wave, often a fierce surge, hitting the top of the city wall, almost within reach, but was ruthlessly attacked by countless swords, guns, swords and halberds stretched out from the battlements.
After being struck down, the bodies of the sergeants fell one after another, like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind, flying in the air, accompanied by bloody flowers, forming a different kind of cruel bloody romance.
Liu Yu sighed softly and murmured: "Maybe you are right, you must use your troops ruthlessly to win, but I still can't accept this kind of intentional sacrifice and harming my own soldiers to win the battle of victory.
Even if it succeeds, my conscience will not be at ease!"
Liu Muzhi opened his eyes and his voice became serious: "Jinu, you are the commander and the general. Every decision you make will cause hundreds of people to die. Sacrificing some brothers is for the sake of peace.
More brothers don’t have to die. These decisions are cruel, but they must be made. Moreover, you should understand one thing now. Some subordinates must be retained, but some must be weakened by the enemy!
"
Liu Yu suddenly turned around, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked directly at Liu Muzhi: "What did you say? Do you mean to use the hands of the Yan army to deliberately weaken the newly surrendered Southern Yan and Han armies?"
Liu Muzhi said without hesitation: "That's right, Jinu, you not only have to consider this battle now, but also what to do with the land of Nanyan after the battle. The more than 200,000 Han troops in Nanyan surrendered.
Now more than half of them have joined us. In addition to the state troops and horses left behind in various places, there are 70,000 to 80,000 people working with us to attack Guanggu. Do you think these people are really reliable?"
Liu Yu's eyes sparkled and he fell into deep thought.
Wang Miaoyin sighed quietly: "Brother Yu, I know this decision is difficult for you, but I must admit that the Han people in Qilu are mostly dependent on the powerful families, at least now and in the future for a long time.
Time may not be of the same mind as you. Regardless of whether Guanggu can be captured this time, our army will not stay in Nanyan for a long time. If the military strength here is too strong, the result will be the same as when we conquered Qingzhou in the Northern Expedition, and let this place be restored again.
It has become the territory of major local wealthy families. If you listen to the instructions but not the propaganda, you will have to send troops to pacify this place again in the future. At that time, what you have to face will not be the Hulu, but the Han people in your heart!"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "So, you want to use this method to destroy these powerful local troops by the enemy?"
Liu Muzhi said coldly: "This is also the reason why I use Wang Xuanmo. In order to avoid the rule of the Sima royal family, the Wang family of Taiyuan has remained anonymous for many years.
, ran out to join the army this time, no matter how nice what he said, there is still only one purpose, that is, we are sure to destroy Yan this time. Even if we cannot destroy Yan, we can still severely damage Nanyan. And you, among the Han people,
The first general and the actual ruler of the Jin Dynasty, if I follow you, I will have wealth and a bright future!"
Liu Yu sneered and said: "Since you know that this person is here to speculate on wealth and wealth, and his motives are different from ours, why do you still reuse him? He is not a local tycoon, and he is not even worthy of the Wang family. Even if he is a little talented,
I don’t deserve such care from you!”
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Jinu, jinu, you really need to practice more on this art of governance. The reason why Qingzhou has never been truly conquered by all forces is that even Murong's Nanyan
, it was only a nominal rule, and local governance still relied on the Han clan. This was because since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, descendants of nobles such as the Gao family, the Feng family, the Guo family, and the Pi family had evolved from the clans and scholar-bureaucrats of the Qi State.
The Lu family and others have controlled the countryside, land, and population of Qilu for thousands of years. Foreign forces can rule the capital by force, but the governance of various places still depends on these powerful families."
"So these big clans have long been as smart as ghosts. They will resist external forces when they are weak, and obey when they are strong, but they will still retain control of their own territory, so that these powerful dragons have to compromise with the local snakes, just like you always want
Just like the weakened Wudi family manor, whatever the court wants to do depends on the faces of these wealthy families. You finally relied on the Sun En Rebellion to get these wealthy families to listen to your orders. Then what about Sun En of Nanyan?
Where to find it?!"
Wang Miaoyin then said: "Mu Zhi is so right, brother Yu, these Qilu powerful men have soldiers and food on hand. You have also seen it this time. They range from more than ten thousand to two or three thousand men. They are all powerful."
They only obey the orders of these powerful patriarchs. Today they can ask these people to join the army, and tomorrow they can make them separatist and rebel. To make them obedient, they can only use people like Wang Xuanmo as officials to suppress the local powerful, because Wang Xuanmo has no roots and no power.
At the end of the day, although he is a local, he has no power of his own and is even tolerated by his family. If he wants to gain a foothold here, he can only listen to our orders and serve us."
"He himself has some talents and a thorough knowledge of the local situation. This is the best way to suppress those powerful people. But before that, we need to weaken the powerful people's strength, especially to prevent them from having the capital to separate themselves. That is the military
horse!"
Liu Yu sighed softly: "So, you are just going to use Nan Yan's hand to attack the city to weaken the strength of Qi's powerful people, right?"
Liu Muzhi's eyes were bright: "Yes, in Xicheng, I will let the soldiers and horses of the Gao family, Guoshi and other clans in Beihai attack first, and then let Pilu Daoxiu's five thousand township party follow. If they are lucky,
If you can attack the city wall, you will definitely have to fight to the death with the elite of the Yan army. The Shen family soldiers will follow behind, but they will only provide support, not go forward to fight to the death, and let the Yan army consume them as much as possible."
Liu Yu said coldly: "If they can't attack the city wall, you will do what Wang Xuanmo said, and let Zhang Gang hit him with a catapult without distinguishing between friend and foe during the fierce siege and fierce fighting at the top of the city, and kill him."
To quell the enemy’s foreign invasion, kill our army to eliminate the internal strife, right?!”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, I know you will never agree to such a plan, so I will be the one to do this evil person. If God really punishes me, it will be retribution on me, Liu Muzhi.
Jinu, I am willing to bear all the consequences of this matter!"
