Chapter 2 Zhan Yi (Part 2) The news that the four brothers of the Xue family were trying to rebel was like a big stone, weighing down the chief manager of Youzhou, unable to breathe for several days. However, he still could not send people according to the suggestion of the elder Shi Qinyong.
Go back and chop the opponent with a knife. Killing him indiscriminately without any conclusive evidence will give him a reputation of being narrow-minded. Moreover, the Xue family brothers are the first foreign force to defect to Youzhou. How Luo Yi treats them will become a problem for others.
A reference for latecomers. Once the four brothers die in an unexplained manner, no hero in the world will dare to seek refuge in Youzhou again.
Luo Yi couldn't turn a deaf ear to rumors! It was equivalent to gambling the safety of tens of thousands of troops on the loyalty of the Xue brothers. This was too big a bet. He didn't dare to believe that Xue Shixiong's two defeats were all due to the conspiracy of the Youzhou Army. This point of the Xue brothers
It’s not clear that their defection to Youzhou was forced by the situation. Once the situation may be unfavorable to Youzhou, the Xue brothers will inevitably think of their fathers’ hatred.
Zhuangwu General Liu Yifang saw that Luo Yi was upset and thought of a compromise for him, suggesting that he transfer the infantry of General Zhongwu stationed outside the Great Wall to deter the barbarians back to defend Yuyang. Although General Bu offended many people because of his too upright temper,
His loyalty to the Youzhou Army can be seen every day. He is stationed in Yuyang. On the one hand, it can ensure that the army's future retreat will not be lost. On the other hand, it can also deter the Xue brothers and prevent them from taking rash actions.
"Retreat? Ziyi, do you think it is impossible for us to defeat the Boling Army led by a woman?" Luo Yi agreed with the first half of Liu Yifang's suggestion, but he was not satisfied with what he said in the second half of the suggestion.
Very dissatisfied: "What does it mean to guarantee a retreat? When did our tiger cavalry bow to the enemy? Back then, we used five thousand brothers to fight against the hundreds of thousands of Hu troops outside the Great Wall, and we still killed them to death, but now we want to retreat without a fight? Ziyi, you
Have you lived so richly these years that you have forgotten the taste of human blood?"
"Before you predict victory, you anticipate defeat. This is what the great general taught his son so stupidly, but he will never forget it for the rest of his life!" Liu Yifang bowed slightly and answered truthfully.
"Nonsense, when did I teach you this?" Luo Yi raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with anger. The other person is his confidant and favorite general, but it does not mean that he can be shamed in front of everyone. Now he needs absolute obedience.
Absolute authority, no matter who offends Ni Lin for any reason, it will not be forgiven!
It was eerily quiet in the military tent, and the faint sound of war drums could be heard along the wind, which made one's heart jump directly to the throat. General Luo is no longer the general he used to be. Last time, the infantry general said a few wrong words, and then he
He was punished by him and sent to the Great Wall to think about his past. Today Liu Yifang contradicted him in public. He still doesn’t know what the consequences will be.
Just as everyone was trying to find something to say to lighten the atmosphere in the tent, Liu Yifang stood upright with his fists clasped and replied loudly, "In the autumn of the fifteenth year of the founding of the Emperor, the general led us to attack the Turks in the north. He stored grain, grass and baggage along the way, and sent strong men to build camps to protect the generals.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief said, war is fierce and dangerous, and there is no undefeated general in the world. If he can remain calm in the face of a great victory and leave a way out for himself in case of unexpected events, even if he is occasionally frustrated, he can quickly make a comeback!"
"You slick-talking bird egg, if you supervise the battle and cannot defeat Yixian today, you are not allowed to come back for dinner!" Luo Yi raised his leg and kicked Liu Yifang, and cursed with a smile.
What the other party said was reasonable and affectionate, and he couldn't bear to get angry. Unpredicting victory before predicting defeat was indeed the theory of military use that he instilled in his subordinates when he led the troops out of the fortress. The reputation of the Yum-Victorious General Luo Yi at that time was not entirely based on hacking with a knife.
He has an accurate understanding of the enemy's strength, an accurate grasp of the fighting will of both the enemy and ourselves, as well as concern for the safety of his soldiers, and love for his brothers... All of these are inevitable factors that have led him to where he is today.' But
How come I forgot what I once said today?" Looking at Liu Yifang's back as he turned away, Luo Yi asked himself. He suddenly discovered that he had indeed become too much. He was no longer the responsible, magnanimous, indomitable and suspicious General Luo.
, irritable, self-willed, those shortcomings that I hated in the past, now appear in me one by one, even worse than some of the arrogant and domineering children of the aristocratic family.
"Ziyi!" After chasing for more than ten steps, Huben General Luo Yi called back to Liu Yifang who had already walked out of the military tent, "Attack the city with normal intensity and pay attention to casualties. If the enemy's morale is still as strong as before, although
Take it down and we can think of other solutions tonight!"
"No!" Liu Ziyi turned around and gave a military salute to the coach in a dignified manner.
"You bastard, be careful not to get hurt by the crossbow!" Luo Yi opened his mouth and cursed again in front of countless soldiers. He felt that his mood instantly became relaxed and his thinking became sharper.
"Come here, write a letter for me and summon Wan Che, the younger brother of Beiping County Governor Xue Wanjun. I am getting old and need a brave man to be the commander of my bodyguard!" A flash of light flashed in front of Luo Yi's eyes, and he made an instant decision.
After pondering for a moment about the decision that made all his cronies dumbfounded, he continued to give instructions: "Send someone to Hejian with the arrows ordered by me, and order Cheng'er to lead the army back and stationed at Shucheng, ninety miles northeast of Hejian. Ignore Dou."
Jiande Army, don’t cross the river to attack Zhao Ziming’s troops!”
"Yes!" The confidants who stayed in the military tent agreed and implemented the implementation details of the two orders separately.
Dou Jiande was definitely not here to reassure the people as he said. His main purpose of going north was to compete for Hejian County. Since Wang Cong, the governor of Hejian County, refused to surrender to Youzhou, there was no need for Luo Cheng to help him guard the county seat and become the county.
When the soldiers were beaten to pieces by Dou Jiande, Wang Cong naturally asked Luo Cheng for help. By then, no matter what conditions Youzhou County proposed, the Wang family in Hejian would have no room for bargaining.
In addition, the cooperation between Dou Jiande and the six counties of Boling was probably due to the pressure from Youzhou. Once Luo's troops retreated, the cooperation between the bandits and Boling lost its foundation. Compared with Hejian County, which has suffered from war all year round,
, Xindu County, which has implemented the New Farming Policy for two years, will definitely be more attractive to the rogue bandits.
At present, the troops in the six counties are busy dealing with Youzhou. To Dou Jiande and Gao Kaidao, Xindu County is like a shelled egg filling with wheat, an unsuspecting big city, and a bustling city.
City, if Dou Jiande could resist robbing, he would not be a bandit leader, but the best gentleman of all time.
"You are so handsome!" Someone quickly understood the subtlety of retreat and praised with a smile.
"Gao Ming, if you are really clever, you won't be stuck here!" Luo Yi smiled and waved his hand, "Don't flatter me, it's more important to get down to business, Lao Qin. How are things arranged for that day? Has the envoy been sent?"
"We set out that night, but the road ahead was blocked by General Lu. He could only take a detour from the Juma River and avoid the other party's inspections along the way. It is estimated that he would not reach his destination until the day after tomorrow at the earliest!" Elder Shi Qin
Yong thought for a while and replied in a low voice.
"Fuck grandma, it will take half a month to talk about this matter again and again. I guess Rou Baozi is beating the dog!" Luo Yi smiled and cursed, shaking his head repeatedly, "Old Qin, is there any way you can make the arrangements?"
I directly met with the man surnamed Lu. I have taken a look these days and found that this man is very well-organized in his military tactics and is a rare general. He only opposed us to protect the country and the people! If we promise not to harass the people of the six counties,
Also be kind to Li Zhongjian’s widow, I think maybe he will consider ending this war!”
"There is little hope for this matter, but I will try my best to arrange it!" Qin Yong's tone of reply was full of hesitation. It is indeed much more effective to persuade the enemy general before the battle than to bribe a county guard, but the soldiers' perspective of thinking about the problem is different from that of the civil servants.
They are often very different. Civil servants like to compare the strengths of both sides and are accustomed to seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster. However, many warriors often do things based on their courage, loyalty, loyalty, and reputation. These visible and intangible things definitely have a greater impact on them than on civil servants.
Come big
"How will you know if it works if you don't try? Li Zhongjian is dead. There must be an explanation for who General Lu is fighting for!" Luo Yi waved his arm vigorously and explained his arrangement from the perspective of a military general.
"A warrior has his own responsibilities!" The late General Wang Yang Shuang taught Luo Yi this way from the first day he joined the army. Over the past decades, he has conquered east and west, and achieved his life goals step by step.
At the same time, I kept comprehending Yang Shuang’s teachings.
"The duty of a military commander is to protect!" For decades, Luo Yi led the Hu and Ben cavalry to guard the Sui Dynasty border like the Great Wall. He never forgot that he was a warrior. According to the same reasoning, the enemy general Lu Qin must have also
What is he guarding? A promise? A trust? Or a friendship with Li Xu? No matter what he is guarding, as long as Luo Yi is clear about it, he can openly negotiate with the other party to use force to respect the general and the general.
Negotiate with the understanding of military generals to end this endless war and restore peace to all places
Comparing oneself with others, Luo Yi believed that there was great hope for the success of the negotiation. Li Zhongjian was born in a humble background, and his life trajectory was very similar to his own. As for Lu Qin and Zhao Ziming, who are currently the pillars of the six counties, Luo Yi could deduce from their names that they were not born into any famous family.
With such a prestigious family, what do they urgently need? Luo Yi can completely guess that the most critical point is that Li Xu is dead, and everyone must find another hero to assist. Compared with those wealthy families who think they are superior, the same
Luo Yi, who came from a poor family, is definitely more suitable for the old general of the Boling Army. Luo Yi can even guarantee that he will avenge them within a few years, kill Liu Changgong and Duan Da, and use their heads to pay tribute to Li Xu's spirit in heaven.
Even if everyone does not intend to avenge Li Xu, it is the best choice to form one with Youzhou. Li Zhongjian is dead! This is the most favorable condition for Youzhou. With only the strength of Mrs. Li, a widow, she will never be able to save the six counties.
If there is no strong person to stand up for her, the imperial court will soon send someone to take over General Li's territory. Even if the imperial court cannot send people over for the time being, the position of the general manager will be vacant for a long time, which will attract countless people's prying eyes. Instead of handing over the six counties to others,
It is better to hand it over to the Youzhou Army. At least Luo Yi can promise Mrs. Li's transcendent status, and can also guarantee the policies that General Li insisted on during his lifetime. It is General Li's wish to continue good governance such as opening up subjects to recruit scholars and conferring land and people.
For Youzhou, which is extremely short of supplies and talents, it is also the only choice for development and growth.
