"As long as you're not afraid of death." Luo Yi nodded.
Although Liu Shu was young, he was able to have such a group of subordinates and manage such a small world behind enemy lines. Luo Yi couldn't help but take a high look at him.
Monsters come out of white robes. After all, they are all elites selected at all levels. They are like gold, they will shine wherever they are thrown.
However, he was willing to leave such talents in places such as Youzhou and Annan, which were regarded by the people of the Central Plains and Jiangnan as nothing more than a bird without shit, just so that one day in the future he could quickly realize the occupation of these places, Luo Yi could only
Speaking of White Robe, or His Majesty who finally made the decision, he was indeed playing a big game.
He asked himself, he did not have such vision and courage.
Liu Shu also rushed over at this time: "General Luo, let me go first. Lucou is located at the mouth of the Lu River, and it is also the closest town to here. I suggest that you should avoid it. If there is any news,
I will notify you as soon as possible."
Noticing the boat on the riverside, Luo Yi certainly knew that Liu Shu was actually taking a lot of risks by going to Lucou Town at this time. Once his whereabouts here were exposed, then Liu Shu, as the leader of these villages, would be the first
A subject of suspicion.
Luo Yi held up his hands: "Take care!"
Liu Shu returned the favor: "Take care!"
They don't know when or under what circumstances they will see each other next, so they can only hope that everyone is still alive.

Changping County.
Dugu Yongye, the commander-in-chief of Youzhou's march in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was wandering in the government office.
Changping is located on the northwest side of Yanjun, behind Juyongguan, and is the only place connecting Yanjun and Juyongguan.
Dugu Yongye did not choose to garrison troops in Yanjun, but personally led the main force to garrison in Changping. Because of this position, he could not only go south to reinforce Yanjun, but also go north to support Juyongguan. At the same time, although he was nominally the commander-in-chief of Youzhou's march, he had the responsibility of Youzhou.
However, he did not want to be too high-profile, so as Yan County, the political and economic center of Youzhou, it was better not to be stationed there.
Dugu Yongye had stood still during the Battle of Pingcheng, and ultimately failed to help Yu Wenchun, which even indirectly caused Yu Wenchun to retreat all the way south to Yanmen. His move naturally had no problems from a military perspective, but from a
From a political point of view, there is a suspicion of disregarding the situation.
Especially in the Battle of Pingcheng, we need to find a scapegoat. We can't point at King Chen's nose and say that he is wrong, right? After all, Jinyang is still counting on King Chen to defend it, so this crime naturally falls on Dugu Yongye.
He refused to save him, but Yu Wenxian also knew that this would be too unfair to Dugu Yongye, so he suppressed the matter with all his strength.
Now is the time to employ people. Of course Yu Wenxian will not really do anything to a general like Dugu Yongye who can take charge of his own duties.
However, Dugu Yongye was not stupid. His Majesty did not do anything to him. It was because your Majesty gave him face, and he could not be too arrogant, so he left Cui Yanmu, the governor of Youzhou, and his son Dugu Xuda to stay in Yan County.
Then he personally stationed troops in Changping, which is quite similar to what Deng Ai, the veteran Cao Wei general, stationed in the fields to wait for changes.
Just today, Dugu Yongye received news that Han army scouts appeared outside Juyong Pass.
The Han army in Pingcheng finally couldn't sit still.
In fact, Dugu Yongye himself was not sure how many Han troops there were in Pingcheng. Especially the battle at Bailangdui at that time not only caught Yu Wenchun off guard, but also Dugu Yongye was a little confused. Later, although
The scouts found out that the Battle of Langdui was just a few thousand cavalry of the Han army, but Yu Wenchun and Dugu Yongye also suspected that the number of Han troops in Pingcheng was likely to be larger, at least 30,000 to 40,000.
Whether these soldiers and horses are placed outside Yanmen Pass or Juyong Pass, they are enough to pose a threat to Guancheng. This also makes Dugu Yongye dare not be careless. However, after the Han army advanced to Zhuolu, there was no movement.
, Dugu Yongye couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. This showed that at least the Han army did not have the strength to directly attack the city. Although he did not know the strength of the Han army, it was certain that the Han army would not have many soldiers and horses.
However, Dugu Yongye has never planned to leave Juyongguan. First of all, Youzhou is barren. After leaving Juyongguan, whether he advances to Zhuolu or simply advances directly to Daijun, this journey means a lot of money and food consumption. Sorry, now
There are really not that many Dugu Yongye. Secondly, Dugu Yongye also has to consider whether the main force of the Han army went south to Yanmen Pass. If so, it means that they can come back at any time and run away by themselves.
When we arrive at Daijun or even outside Pingcheng City, we encounter the main force of the Han army head-on. What should we do?
Either you have to be taught how to be a human being, or you cannot even be a human being at all.
Just when Dugu Yongye was entangled, the appearance of Han army scouts broke his entanglement.
The appearance of Han army scouts means that the Han army should launch an attack on Juyongguan in the short term.
The peace that Youzhou, the rear area, had enjoyed for many years was finally going to be broken.
But what Dugu Yongye couldn't understand was, was the Han army really so confident that they could take Juyongguan? It wasn't that Dugu Yongye underestimated the Han army's ability to attack fortresses. On the contrary, he used muskets to suppress the defenders at the top of the city, and then used artillery.
In terms of demolition, the Han army definitely has strong offensive capabilities, but does the Han army really think that it can break through Juyongguan in a short time with this?
Juyongguan is not just a pass. With the twists and turns of the Great Wall around it and the layers of camps in the valley, it is a three-dimensional defense system that even Dugu Yongye himself does not want to face. Even if the Han army had firearms, Dugu Yongye would not be able to face it.
Ye was also confident that he could stop them for more than a month. However, after such a long journey from Pingcheng, the grain and grass had to be transported from even more distant places such as Hetao and Guanzhong. Can the Han army sustain it for such a long time?
I'm afraid not so.
unless······
Dugu Yongye's eyes were fixed on the map.
Unless they are feinting...
But where will the real enemy come from? At least Yecheng and Jinyang are still in the hands of the Northern Zhou army, and Youzhou is the out-and-out rear area.
Could it be that these southern barbarians could still get wings and fly over?
This is a bit abnormal, no, this is very abnormal, but Dugu Yongye doesn't know what is abnormal, but his sixth sense from years of fighting is constantly warning him.
Dugu Yongye clenched his fists, feeling like he was about to fall into a trap.
However, I had no idea where or when the enemy had set the trap, so I was led around by the nose.
There was some noise outside, and Dugu Yongye opened the door upset, trying to tell the guards to keep their voices down, but found that they were moving the lotus tank in the yard.
fire?
wrong.
water?
possible!
To be precise, it is not water, but the sea, the vast sea!
