Chapter 620

After talking about the business, Yuxi said again: "Mother has been thinking about you, she will be very happy to see you this time!"

Han Jianye shook his head and said, "Forget it, see you when you come back from Sichuan! Otherwise, she will definitely feel uneasy knowing that I am going to Sichuan." In addition, he came back this time to avoid everyone. If you go back carelessly, there will be no secrets at all.

Yu Xi didn't force her, and said, "Okay, then go see your mother when you come back!"

At this time in Dingzhou, Qiu Dashan led an army of 100,000 troops to station at a place more than 100 miles outside the city of Dingzhou. Qiu Dashan didn't lead troops to attack the city, but sent generals to yell below the city to let Yunqing go out to fight.

Qiu Dashan was not stupid either, the city walls were high and thick, if he attacked the city, he would definitely not be able to break it, it would only increase the casualties in vain. However, he really wanted to fight the Northwest Army to see the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army.

Liu Yongnan uttered a dirty word, and then said to Yunqing: "Your Majesty, let me bring 30,000 soldiers to fight against him. Don't let them underestimate you." Although they heard that the Liaodong Army fought bravely, they were not vegetarians either. .

Yun Qing said: "Tomorrow you will send troops to fight with 50,000 troops." If the combat effectiveness of the two armies is not at the same level, Yun Qing will definitely not agree to send troops to fight. For example, when the northern captives attacked Yucheng, he only defended the city and did not send troops. The situation is different now, they have 100,000 troops, and Qiu Dashan only led 100,000 soldiers. The combat effectiveness of the two sides is also similar. If they hide in the city, it will encourage the enemy's arrogance and weaken their own morale.

Liu Yongnan was overjoyed and said: "My lord, my subordinates will not disgrace the prestige of our Northwest Army."

The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny. Of the 100,000 soldiers and horses that Qiu Dashan brought with him, more than half were Liaodong soldiers. These soldiers and horses are also brave and good at fighting. So the two armies faced each other, and both sides sent out the best generals in martial arts. In the first four games, both sides won two rounds each. In the last round, Qiu Dashan fought in person, and said to Liu Yongnan, "Do you have the guts to fight me?"

If you refuse to fight in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, you will not be able to mix in the army in the future. Liu Yongnan held a double-barreled gun and rode forward to fight Qiu Dashan. The two fought for half an hour, neither of them could do anything to the other, and finally it was a draw.

Qiu Dashan actually wanted to defeat Liu Yongnan and lead Yun Qing out, but he didn't expect that Liu Yongnan's martial arts were not inferior to him. Now that there was a tie, there was no need to fight again, Qiu Dashan immediately ordered the drums to be beaten to withdraw the troops.

Yun Qing looked at the defeated Liu Yongnan with a peaceful expression: "If the Liaodong Army is vulnerable, how can it withstand the fierce Donghu people?" The Liaodong Army is the only army that can be as famous as the Northwest Army. Hit, that shows fraud.

Liu Yongnan's complexion improved a lot: "My lord, that Qiu Dashan has also been boasted so much, but in fact it's nothing special."

Yun Qing glanced at Liu Yongnan, and said: "You have to remember that you bear the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on your shoulders. Even if the opponent is not as strong as you, you can't relax a bit. A slack may cost thousands of dollars. The lives of soldiers."

Liu Yongnan's heart trembled, and he unconsciously stood up straight: "This subordinate knows his mistake." It was also the successive victories during this period that made him a little arrogant.

Yun Qing looked at Liu Yongnan and said, "I'm going to Henan, and I'll leave this place to you." Henan has been captured by Du Zheng, so Yun Qing went to join Du Zheng.

Henan and Shanxi have already been defeated, and the next target is Hubei. Xu Zhen sent troops at the beginning of the year, but Xu Zhen only had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and his movements were relatively slow. However, this is the case, and now five state capitals have been captured. Yunqing then led the army to attack from Henan, and the two armies would soon occupy Hubei in a flanking attack.

Hearing this, Liu Yongnan asked: "Don't worry, my lord, I will not let the imperial army step into Shanxi territory." This can be regarded as a military order.

After saying this, Liu Yongnan couldn't help but say another sentence: "My lord, Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu border each other. If these two provinces can be brought down, then we won't have to worry about running out of rice." In fact, Liu Yongnan is more Want to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River.

Yun Qing said expressionlessly: "Whatever you do, you must do what you can." They were able to successfully capture Shanxi and Henan because they had done a lot of preparatory work in the early stage. Now attacking Anhui and Jiangsu rashly, not only cannot keep up with the troops, but also cannot keep up with the supplies in the rear. Yunqing never fights an uncertain battle.

Liu Yongnan felt a little pity: "I think Jiangnan experienced floods last year, and attacking them now will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Yun Qing shook his head and said: "If there were no floods, our attack on Shanxi and Henan would not have been so smooth." It was the flood that held back Yu Baojia. Otherwise, if Yan Wushuang cooperates with Yu Baojia, their war will not be so smooth.

Liu Yongnan thinks about it and thinks so.

At dawn the next day, Yunqing left Dingzhou City with a group of guards and headed for Henan.

Yan Wushuang received the brochure written by Qiu Dashan, and his face darkened immediately after reading it: "I didn't expect that an unknown person would be able to draw with Ah Shan?" As far as he knew, although this Liu Yongnan was also Yun He is Qing's confidant general, but he is not the most powerful under Yun Qing's command. The most powerful general under Yun Qing's command is undoubtedly Feng Dajun.

Yan Wushuang also wanted to win over Feng Dajun before, but he also knew that the relationship between Feng Dajun and Yun Qing was extraordinary, and it was impossible to directly separate them. Knowing that Feng Dajun likes beauties, he specially borrowed someone else's hand to send two charming beauties there. I want the beauty to blow the pillow wind first, and then slowly draw it. As a result, the two beauties only said a few specious words, which made Feng Dajun furious, and immediately sent the two beauties to the military camp as military prostitutes. Since then, Yan Wushuang has given up his plan to gather Feng Dajun.

Speaking of it, Yan Wushuang was also quite depressed, and tried two beauty tricks on Yun Qing and his subordinates but failed.

Meng Nian was not surprised, and said: "Although Liu Yongnan is not Yunqing's number one confidant, he is also a seasoned general, and he is invincible in the army with two guns."

Yan Wushuang frowned and said, "Ah Shan said in his letter that he got the news that Yunqing had brought 30,000 troops out of the city. Liu Yongnan had brought 70,000 troops to defend Dingzhou City."

What Liu Yongnan has to do now is to guard the door, not to be brave. So no matter how provocative Qiu Dashan's people were, he only stuck to Dingzhou City and did not send troops to fight. For Liu Yongnan, anyway, the first match was a tie and he had earned face.

Meng Nian's expression was not very good-looking, and he said, "Yunqing is afraid that he is going to capture Hubei. My lord, once Hubei and Shu fall into Yunqing's hands, they will take half of the country." Half of the country is a bit over , but Hubei and Shu were really captured, so Yuxi and Yunqing accounted for one-third of the world.

Yan Wushuang said: "As far as He Zhizhang's trash is concerned, how can he stop the Northwest Army. Shu, it's hard to say." If you want to attack Shu by force, nine times out of ten, you will return home without a feather.

Speaking of this, Yan Wushuang frowned and said: "That woman Han Yuxi is not stupid, and she must know that it is not easy to attack Shu. I think she will definitely use some other methods."

Meng Nian thought for a while and said, "The best way is to get Zhou Jinpeng to surrender. This is obviously impossible. This person has the blood of the royal family, so how could he surrender to traitors and ministers?" Zhou Jinpeng's identity is a bit complicated, but he is ordinary A son of the clan, but in private, many people say that he is the illegitimate son of Emperor Dezong, that is, the half-brother of Emperor Guangzong. What is the truth, only a few people know.

Yan Wushuang said: "It is impossible for Zhou Jinpeng to surrender, but there are many people who hold military power in Shu. As long as one or two turn against each other, the situation of the battle will change."

Meng Nian said with a serious face: "Then what should we do?" Not only did Zhou Jinpeng not listen to their lord's order, but he angrily scolded their lord as a traitor who wanted to usurp the throne. It is not so easy for them to intervene in the affairs of Shu.

Yan Wushuang said: "Zhou Jinpeng has been able to guard the Shu land for more than 20 years, which is enough to see this man's city and ability. Send someone to remind him, and he will handle this matter well."

Meng Nian felt that they couldn't sit still and said, "What if we don't handle this well?"

Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "It's not handled well, Shu land just fell into Yunqing's hands earlier." With Yunqing's ability, he can take Shu land no matter how complicated it is, it's just a matter of time That's all.

Meng Nian said worriedly: "My lord, once Yunqing occupies the land of Shu, do you think he will send his troops south?" If Yunqing occupies Jiangnan again, it will be like a tiger with wings added, and they will be in jeopardy.

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said: "No. Yunqing has a cautious personality, and he will not take risks if there is not enough food and grass supply." Cautious temperament is both an advantage and a weakness.

Meng Nian said worriedly: "Even if we don't send troops south now, when Shanxi and Henan are stabilized, Yunqing will definitely lead troops to attack Jiangnan."

Yan Wushuang is not someone who gives up easily: "It will take at least two years for Shanxi and Henan to stabilize. In two years, there will be many variables."

Meng Nian showed bitterness, and said, "Sometimes, I feel that God is helping them." Yun Qing raised an army to rebel and occupy the northwest, and that was smooth sailing. Now it is surprisingly smooth to lead troops to attack Shanxi, Henan and other places.

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "Why is God helping them? It's just that the Han family has the ability to predict, knowing that there will be a big natural disaster last year, and prepared in advance." For Qu Liangyi, He Ye and others, this natural disaster hurts their nerves It is an opportunity for the Han family who has the ability to predict.

Meng Nian would rather believe that the drought in the Northwest was predicted by the old farmer than that Yuxi had the ability to predict it. It's just that Meng Nian also knew that no matter how much he argued about this topic, there would be no result, so he simply didn't answer the question.
