Jiankang, Xuanwu Gate, city wall.
Liu Yu and Liu Yi stood side by side. They were five miles away from the Yangtze River. In the distance, the warships on the Tianshi Dao River and the camp in the north of the Yangtze River were invisible. The two important commanders of the Jin Dynasty looked calm.
It was no longer as dignified as when he first came to Jiankang a month ago. After all, this month's war was completely planned, and the most dangerous time had passed. It seemed that the entire Jiankang defense line was impregnable, but the two men discovered
The red eyes and thick dark circles can still show how much they have suffered and how much they have suffered in the past month.
Liu Yi stretched, looked in the south direction, and said: "This guy Tieniu is actually back. I thought he was going to Guangling to meet Tan Shao by land, but I didn't expect that he came by sea.
.”
Liu Yudan said calmly: "He came back in a fleet sent by the Goguryeo mission. The demon thieves had been guarding the sea for half a month without seeing our navy, so they took the fleet back and blocked the river.
Unexpectedly, we also had a fleet of Goguryeo aid ships that brought back 15,000 troops. But Tieniu didn't even arrive at Kuaiji, but took 2,000 people and disembarked at Haiyan, and then directly
I ran to Jiankang."
Liu Yi nodded: "Tieniu's troops are capable of fighting and are the elite of our army. They ran back without equipment. They seemed to be sure that they would not be ambushed by demon thieves on the road. In the past month, we have
The traffic with Sanwu Land is smooth, how did you do it?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Nan Yan's cavalry were the first batch to surrender to us. There were as many as five thousand cavalry that could be used directly on the battlefield. However, less than three thousand cavalry were infected with the plague, and they were not accustomed to the local conditions.
, there are less than 2,000 horsemen who came to Kuaiji by sea ship, and among them, there are about 1,500 horsemen who can immediately go into battle."
Liu Yi frowned: "So, you want a thousand riders to come back and five hundred to patrol the road?"
Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "No, I only came back with 500 riders. A thousand riders are patrolling on the road. You know, there are more than 2,000 miles from Kuaiji to Jiankang, and 500 riders can't do it."
Even if we can't guard every important pass, we can't even destroy the small group of demon thieves who came to ambush us."
Liu Yi's eyes widened: "But every day, there are as many as a thousand cavalry that Suo Miao brings to inspect the river bank. What is going on? Can you conjure up soldiers and horses?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "I used a trick here. The tiger-spotted cavalry is one man and two horses. Five hundred cavalry came to Beijing, but there were a thousand horses. So I made a lot of straw men, put on the armor and stomach, and sat on it.
On the auxiliary horse, as for the riding horses, they were tied to the side of the auxiliary horse. From a distance, it looked like thousands of cavalry galloping. The demon thief had never stood firm on the river bank.
They were on the river, so they couldn't see clearly. Besides, they didn't even have time to escape from the troops that attacked them a few times, so they didn't even bother to look back and see whether real people or dummies were chasing them."
Liu Yi breathed a long sigh of relief: "This art of war is for you to understand clearly, the false and the false, the true and the false. In the past month, the monster thieves have been defeated in consecutive battles and lost their troops. My scouts in Jiangbei also reported that their deserters are here.
The number gradually increased, and they searched everywhere for food and grass, but nothing was gained. More than ten thousand troops besieged Guangling City, but they could not gain any advantage. It is said that the counties in the north of the Yangtze River, and even the Han local tyrants in Qi, also mobilized the people to go south.
Now, more than 20,000 troops have been gathered on the line from Guangling to Xuyi, and the camp is hundreds of miles away. If the demon thieves don't send out a large army to attack, I'm afraid there will be nothing they can do."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Even if they send out a large army, there is nothing they can do. Guangling City is small but strong, and it has been used as a camp for the Beifu Army. It has been operated for many years. Women and children have long been moved away. Only soldiers and young men are left in the city, holding on to the city.
Cooperating with the Beifu Army camp outside the city, one camp per city is enough to withstand a hundred thousand demon thieves. If the demon thieves really break out in large numbers and besiege Guangling with all their strength, we can wait for an opportunity to cross the river within these hundreds of miles.
, directly out of his back. Although Xu Daofu is taking risks in fighting, he will not be so careless about his head and body."
Liu Yi nodded: "If we hold on for another month, we will probably be able to counterattack. There are now more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and Xie Hun and the others are doing a good job in the Kuaiji area. Thousands of reinforcements arrive every day.
, By the way, I heard that Liu Tingyun’s family and Yu Yue’s family were raided, what’s going on?”
Liu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'm afraid that Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi are using their power for personal gain under the guise of King Qin. I say, Xi Le, you should advise these friends of yours not to go too far, Liu Tingyun
It’s just a home, but Yu Yue is still persisting in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, so why are they confiscating his home on charges of collaborating with the enemy and escaping? If he does this, the Yu family will have to settle accounts with him when they come back."
Liu Yi smiled and waved his hand: "Hun Xie has always disliked Yu Yue. Now that the head of the Yu family is gone, all branches in Wu are in disarray. Hun Xie doesn't want to use the Xie family's bankers to come to King Qin, so he will look for these first.
The daughter of a bully family, anyway, Yu Yueli came back very early. Even if he comes back, Xie Hun will probably find a way to move the Yu family to Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, leaving the land of Sanwu. In this way, the Yu family's property will be lost.
It's in his hands."
Liu Yu looked at Liu Yi: "Has he discussed this with you?"
Liu Yi shook his head: "No, but Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi have mentioned it before, saying that there has never been a big family guarding Jingzhou, so the guys who separatized Jingzhou always fought against the imperial court. The Yu family used to control Jingzhou for a long time, and it was so powerful.
On the one hand, Huan Wen usurped power later and drove out Jingzhou. Now that Yu Yue has regained power, it is best to move the Yu family from Wu to Jingzhou, and the land of Sanwu can also be used for you to house some of the post-Northern Expedition
The surrendered northern families include the Hu tribe."
Liu Yu sighed: "The demon thief has not been eliminated, and the enemy is in front of us. Just like this, the land and property of the country are privately given to each other. Xi Le, you shouldn't do this."
Liu Yi said calmly: "Slave, this bitch, Liu Tingyun, used to help me take care of these things. I misjudged the person for a while and trusted her, letting her handle the matter with full authority. But in the end I found out that I had been deceived by her.
, and this woman should have some connection with Yu Yue. My military ration storage may belong to this boy Yu Yue, so if Yu Yue is sent to Jingzhou or Jiangzhou, it will also make me feel bad."
Liu Yu frowned slightly: "So, now you want to win over Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi to deal with the Yu family? I am afraid that the Yu family's future property in Wu will belong to them in half and to you in the future.
