Chapter 625

There were frequent reports of battles ahead, and Du Zheng had already captured Changzhou. However, Yunqing's 200,000 troops were ambushed by the Tujia people. Fortunately, the casualties were not heavy. Yunqing didn't entangle too much with the Tujia people, but directly detoured to join Guan Tai's 100,000 troops.

Xu Wu waited for Yuxi to read the battle report, and said to Yuxi: "This Tujia tribe has more than 600,000 people, and it is one of the largest tribes among the Yi tribe." Yunqing made up his mind, and it is not impossible to wipe them out took them. But if it is a strong attack, these people are familiar with the terrain, and they will have to pay a huge price. Yunqing loves the soldiers below very much, so he doesn't want to have a direct conflict with these people.

I heard before that because the government exploited the Yi people very severely, the life of the Yi people was very difficult, but Yuxi, who is familiar with farming, knew very well that even without the government's exploitation of the Yi people, it would be difficult to live a life of adequate food and clothing. Because most of the Yi people live in the mountains, the mountains are barren and the food production is very little. Living against the mountains and forests, how could life be better. But the government's exploitation made them worse.

Yuxi said: "The prince should leave the Tujia issue to Du Zheng to solve." As long as enough time is given, the Tujia issue can be resolved without fighting. After all, for the Tujia people, it doesn't matter who rules, what matters is that as long as they don't exploit them, they won't be their enemies.

Xu Wu agreed with this statement very much.

Yunqing and Guan Tai meet in Dazhou.

That night, Yunqing took out the half of the map that the Black Widow gave him, spread it on the table, and said, "This is the combat map that our people got from Luo Kaijiang. How do you compare the situation in Shu?" I understand, can you see if this map is real or not?" In the previous few battles, Yunqing did not rely on this map. And according to the observation along the way, he found that the map seems to be real. If it is confirmed to be true, he will not give up. After all, so many people exchanged their blood for something.

Guan Tai's heart trembled, and he took out the map in his hand to compare with this map. After analyzing for a long time, Guan Tai said: "My lord, there is something wrong with these two places on this map." After speaking, he marked the two places that he thought were problematic.

The reason why Yunqing asked Guan Tai was because Guan Tai had not only guarded Hanzhong for the past few years, he had also sent many people to Shu to learn about the situation. Therefore, Guan Tai is relatively clear about the terrain and military strength of Shu.

From the very beginning, Yunqing had doubts about this map. So he was not disappointed when Guan Tai said that there was something wrong with this picture. After Guan Tai finished speaking, Yunqing took out the city defense map of Jinzhou and said, "Look, is there any problem with this map?"

Guan Tai looked at it for a long time, shook his head and said, "I can't see any problem for now. However, this map is not reliable." Once there is a mistake in the battle, all previous efforts will be wasted. There is a problem with the previous map, and there must be a problem with this one. It's just that the problem is relatively hidden, and it hasn't been discovered yet.

Yun Qing put away the map and said, "Then let's put it away first!" The map of Shancheng was obtained by sacrificing six intelligence personnel. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a trick set up by others.

Knowing the source of this map, Guan Tai wiped off his sweat and said, "It's fortunate that the prince is careful, otherwise we will suffer a big loss." If we rely on this map during a war, the whole army may be wiped out if we rely on this map.

Yun Qing said: "We need to use external forces in war, but we can't rely too much on external forces." After speaking, Yun Qing explained his plan: "I plan to divide my troops into two groups, one to attack Jinzhou and the other to attack the mountain city." Qing planned to lead his own troops to attack Jinzhou and let Guan Tai attack the mountain city.

The landform of the mountain city is dominated by hills and mountains, with a large area of ​​slopes, which is also the origin of the name of the mountain city.

Guan Tai pointed to the two locations on the map and said, "My lord, if we capture these two locations,

The mountain city was also taken down. "

Jinzhou is also a city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. But relatively speaking, mountain cities are more difficult to fight. The landform of the mountain city is dominated by hills and mountains, with a large area of ​​slopes, which is also the origin of the name of the mountain city.

Guan Tai has focused on the Shu land in the past few years, so he has a better understanding of the situation of the mountain city. Looking at the map he drew, he said: "The northwest and central parts of the mountain city are dominated by hills and low mountains, and the northeast and southeast are two. Great mountain range." After finishing speaking, he pointed to two places and said: "If these two places are captured, a gap will be opened, and then the mountain city can be taken down." If these two places cannot be captured, capture There is no way to talk about the mountain city.

The two discussed their affairs until midnight. At dawn, Yun Qing led an army of 150,000 to attack Jinzhou, and Du Zheng led an army of 150,000 to attack the mountain city.

Yan Wushuang also got the news in the fastest time. Hearing that Yunqing and Guan Tai met in Dazhou, Yan Wushuang said, "A bunch of idiots." As long as one of these provinces is useful, it will not make Yunqing so smooth.

Meng Nian said: "Luo Kaijiang and Lu Gang are both strong generals, while Jinzhou and Shancheng are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is impossible for them to occupy Shu without effort."

Yan Wushuang said: "I'm afraid that Luo Kaijiang and Lu Gang will be instigated to rebel." As long as one of these two surrenders, the land of Shu will be lost.

Meng Nian hesitated for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be so, the Lu family, old and young, are all in the capital!" If Lu Gang dared to seek refuge in the northwest, none of the Lu family would survive.

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said: "No one can say for sure about this." Skipping the subject, Yan Wushuang asked: "Is there any reply from Yu Baojia?" up. So Yan Wushuang wrote to say that he wanted to form an alliance with Yu Baojia.

Meng Nian shook his head and said, "There is still no response from Jiangnan." Yu Baojia is not stupid, and an alliance with Yan Wushuang is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. Although Yunqing was gaining momentum, he hadn't hit Jiangnan yet. Therefore, it is definitely impossible for Yu Baojia to give an answer now.

Yan Wushuang sneered and said, "They're all a group of people who won't shed tears when they don't see the coffin." Before, Qu Liangyi, He Ye and others refused to accept the olive branches he threw, and came to seek his help when the site was occupied. In this world, where is such a cheap thing. However, Jiangnan's situation is special. If Yu Baojia asks him for help at that time, he will definitely help. Not for Baojia, but because Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice.

Meng Nian thought so.

At this time, Gao Dongfeng said outside: "My lord, there is news from Shu." This time, the message was sent by flying pigeons, so the speed was still very fast.

After Yan Wushuang finished reading it, he said to Meng Nian, "Han Jianye is missing in Shu." Because Lu Lin only saw Han Jianye twice, and very few people knew about it, the news did not spread. However, this time Han Jianye disappeared, and many people were looking for him, so they leaked the news.

Meng Nian looked a little ugly, and said: "Han Jianye went to Sichuan, and nine times out of ten he went to be a lobbyist. I just don't know if Lu Gang has wavered?" Thinking of this, Meng Nian said again: "My lord, we are going to talk about this matter. You have to tell Zhou Jinpeng to be on guard before you wake up." If Lu Gang surrendered, then Jinzhou would be surrendered. Once Jinzhou falls, the mountain city will be in danger.

Yan Wushuang said: "Do you think that Zhou Jinpeng is a poor man, and he doesn't know the news we can get? It's a big taboo for military strategists to change generals before the battle. I think Zhou Jinpeng deliberately disclosed this news to us." . " Changing generals just before the battle, not to mention that the soldiers below are not familiar with the new generals, and there is no tacit understanding in their cooperation. Furthermore, the Lu family has been operating in Shu for more than 20 years, and their influence in the army is deeply rooted. If Lu Gang was withdrawn without sufficient evidence, it might cause a mutiny. It was also because of these concerns that Zhou Jinpeng did not dare to do anything to Lu Gang.

Meng Nian understood and said, "Lu Gang's grandfather and parents are all in the capital. Zhou Jinpeng wants the prince to use members of the Lu family to coerce Lu Gang into obedience." There was a big contradiction, but Zhou Jinpeng did not oppose the imperial court, he just didn't follow orders.

Yan Wushuang said: "This is just my guess. However, if my guess is true, this time it will be as he wished." After speaking, he told Meng Nian, "Go and invite Master Lu to come here." Master Lu Er, talk about Lu Gang.

If Yan Wushuang knew that Master Lu Er got up early and wanted his son to seek refuge in the Northwest, he would not treat each other with courtesy at this time, but would directly send Lu's family to the prison.

When Yan Wushuang met Master Lu Er, he told about Han Jiangang's arrival in Sichuan: "Master Lu, Han Jianye is Han Yuxi's elder brother. I believe Master Lu should know what he is doing in Shu." Yan Wushuang did not say anything about Han Jianye's disappearance. .

Master Lu Er's complexion changed drastically, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, the Lu family is very loyal to the imperial court, please pay attention to me." What he thinks in his heart is one thing, but what he does on the surface is another thing.

Yan Wushuang helped Master Lu Er up himself, and said with a smile, "Of course I believe in Master Lu and General Lu." As for whether he really believed it, only Yan Wushuang knew.

Master Lu Er expressed his loyalty again, and then offered to write letters to Lu Gang and Lu Lin, telling them to guard Jinzhou and not have any other thoughts.

Yan Wushuang was very satisfied with Master Lu Er's attitude: "Jinzhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I believe that with General Lu's ability, Jinzhou will be defended."

Master Lu Er showed embarrassment on his face, and said: "My son will definitely do his best to defend Jinzhou." There are many cities that are more difficult to attack than Jinzhou, but they were all captured by Yunqing anyway.

Yan Wushuang didn't think there was anything wrong with Master Lu Er's words. He naturally hoped that Lu Gang could defend Jinzhou, but with the fierceness of the Northwest Army, even if Lu Gang was loyal, he might not be able to defend it. It's just that it would be good to delay the consumption of Northwest troops and financial resources for a little longer.
