Chapter 942: Half of the Country
After talking about business, Yuxi said again: "My mother has been talking about you, she will definitely be very happy to see you this time!"
Han Jianye shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll see you when I come back from Shudi! Otherwise, she will definitely not feel at ease if she knows that I am going to Shudi." In addition, he came back this time to avoid everyone. If you go back with a big grin, there will be no secrets to speak of.
Yuxi didn't force it, and said, "Okay, let's go see my mother when you come back!"
At this time in Dingzhou, Qiu Dashan led an army of 100,000 troops to be stationed more than 100 miles outside Dingzhou. Qiu Dashan did not lead troops to attack the city, but only sent generals to shout under the city and let Yunqing go out of the city to fight.
Qiu Dashan is not stupid, the city wall is high and thick, if he attacks the city, he will definitely not be able to break it, but only increase the casualties. However, he really wanted to fight with the Northwest Army and see the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army.
Liu Yongnan spit out a dirty word, and then said to Yun Qing: "Lord Wang, let me bring 30,000 soldiers to fight him, but I can't let them underestimate him." "Although I heard that the Liaodong Army was very brave in the battle, they were not vegetarians.
Yunqing said: "Tomorrow you will take 50,000 soldiers and horses to meet the battle. "If the combat effectiveness of the two armies is not at the same level, Yunqing will definitely not agree to send troops to meet the battle. For example, before the Northern Captives attacked Yucheng, he only defended the city and did not send troops. Now the situation is different, they have an army of 100,000, and Qiu Dashan only led 100,000 soldiers. The combat effectiveness of both sides is similar, and if you retreat in the city, you will encourage the arrogance of the enemy, and at the same time weaken your own morale.
Liu Yongnan was overjoyed and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates will not dishonor the prestige of our Northwest Army. ”
The imagination is beautiful, and the reality is skinny. Of the 100,000 soldiers and horses brought by Qiu Dashan, most of them were Liaodong soldiers. This part of the soldiers and horses is also brave and good at fighting. Therefore, the two armies faced each other, and both sides sent the best generals in martial arts, and each side won two games in the first four games. In the last game, Qiu Dashan personally fought and said to Liu Yongnan: "Do you have the courage to fight with me?"
If you don't want to fight in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, you can't mix in the army in the future. Liu Yongnan carried a double-barreled gun and drove forward to fight Qiu Dashan. The two played for half an hour, and no one could help anyone, and finally it was a draw.
Qiu Dashan actually wanted to defeat Liu Yongnan and then lead Yunqing out, but he didn't expect Liu Yongnan's martial arts to be under him. Since there was a draw, there was no need to go to war again, and Qiu Dashan immediately ordered the drums to be beaten and the troops were withdrawn.
Yun Qing looked at Liu Yongnan, who had a dejected face, and his expression was very calm: "If the Liaodong Army is vulnerable, how can it resist the fierce Donghu people?"
Liu Yongnan's expression improved a lot: "Lord Wang, that Qiu Dashan is also boasted about by others, but in fact, it is not a big deal. ”
Yunqing glanced at Liu Yongnan and said, "You have to remember that you have the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on your shoulders. Even if the opponent's strength is not as good as yours, there can be no slackness. A lax slack could cost the lives of thousands of soldiers. ”
Liu Yongnan's heart sank, and he unconsciously stood up straight: "My subordinates know that they are wrong." It was also the successive victories during this period of time that made him a little arrogant.
Yunqing looked at Liu Yongnan and said, "I'm going to go to Henan, and I'll leave it to you here." "Henan has been captured by Du Zheng, and Yunqing went over to join Du Zheng.
Henan and Shanxi have been defeated, and the next target is Hubei. At the beginning of the year, Xu Zhen sent troops, but Xu Zhen only had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and his movements were relatively slow. However, Rao has now captured five state capitals. Yunqing then led his troops to attack from Henan, and the two armies were soon able to occupy Hubei.
When Liu Yongnan heard this, he asked, "Don't worry, I won't let the imperial army's army step into Shanxi." "This is also a military order.
After saying this, Liu Yongnan couldn't help but say again: "Lord Wang, Henan borders Anhui and Jiangsu. If we can defeat these two provinces, we won't have to worry about running out of rice to eat at that time. In fact, Liu Yongnan wanted to wave his troops to Jiangnan.
Yun Qing said expressionlessly: "Do everything according to your ability." "They were able to capture Shanxi and Henan because they had done a lot of preparatory work in the early stage. Now rashly attacking Anhui and Jiangsu, not only the troops cannot keep up, but the materials in the rear cannot keep up. Yunqing never fights uncertain battles.
Liu Yongnan felt a little pity: "I think Jiangnan experienced a flood last year, and now if I attack them, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Yun Qing shook his head and said, "If there is no flood, our attack on Shanxi and Henan will not be so smooth." "It was the flood that dragged Yu Baojia. Otherwise, if Yan Wushuang cooperated with Yu Baojia, their war would not have gone so smoothly.
Liu Yongnan thinks so.
The next day, Yunqing left Dingzhou City with a group of guards and headed for Henan.
Yan Wushuang received the excerpt written by Qiu Dashan, and after reading it, his face immediately sank: "I didn't expect that an unknown person could actually have a tie with Ah Shan?" As far as he knew, although this Liu Yongnan was also Yun Qing's henchman, he was not the most powerful under Yun Qing. The most powerful general under Yunqing is the Feng army.
Yan Wushuang also wanted to rein in Feng Dajun before, but he also knew that the relationship between Feng Dajun and Yunqing was extraordinary, and it was impossible to directly separate from him. Knowing that Feng Dajun likes beauties, he deliberately borrowed someone else's hand and sent two charming beauties over. 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 provoked Feng Dajun to be 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 the Feng army.
Speaking of which, Yan Wushuang was also quite depressed, and he tried two beauty tricks against Yun Qing and his subordinates without success.
Meng Nian was not surprised, and said: "Although Liu Yongnan is not Yunqing's number one henchman, he is also a general who has experienced a hundred battles, and a double gun is invincible in the army. ”
Yan Wushuang frowned and said, "Ah Shan said in the letter that he got the news that Yun Qing had taken 30,000 soldiers and horses out of the city. Liu Yongnan led 70,000 soldiers and horses to defend Dingzhou City. ”
What Liu Yongnan has to do now is to guard the door, not to be brave. So no matter how Qiu Dashan's people provoked, he only stuck to Dingzhou City and did not send troops to meet the battle. For Liu Yongnan, anyway, the first game has already been a draw and has earned face.
Meng Nian's expression was not very good-looking, and he said, "Yunqing is afraid that he is going to capture Hubei." Lord Wang, once Hubei and Shu fall into the hands of Yunqing, then they will occupy half of the country. "Half of the country has passed, but Hubei and Shu have really been captured, and Yuxi and Yunqing are equal to one-third of the world.
Yan Wushuang said: "As far as He Zhizhang's waste, where can he stop the Northwest Army." Shudi, it's hard to say. "If you want to storm Shudi, nine times out of ten, you have to return with a feather.
Speaking of this, Yan Wushuang frowned and said, "Han Yuxi, that woman is not stupid, she must also know that it is not easy to attack Shudi. I think she's going to do something else. ”
Meng Nian thought for a while and said: "The best way is to let Zhou Jinpeng surrender to Cheng, this is obviously impossible, this person has royal blood, how can he surrender to the rebellious ministers and thieves." "Zhou Jinpeng's identity is a bit complicated, on the surface he is an ordinary clan, but in private, many people say that he is the illegitimate son of Emperor Dezong, that is, he has the same father as Emperor Guangzong. Only a few people know the truth.
Yan Wushuang said: "It is impossible to let Zhou Jinpeng surrender, but there are many people in Shu who have military power." All it takes is one or two to turn against each other, and the tide of battle will change. ”
Meng Nian said with a stern face: "Then what should we do?" Zhou Jinpeng not only did not listen to their prince's dispatch, but angrily scolded their prince for being a chaotic minister and thief who wanted to usurp the throne. It is not so easy for them to meddle in the affairs of Shudi.
Yan Wushuang said: "Zhou Jinpeng can stick to Shu for more than 20 years, it is enough to see this person's city government and ability, send someone to remind him, he will deal with this matter." ”
Meng Nian felt that they couldn't wait to be killed, and said, "What if we don't handle this matter well?"
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "If you haven't handled it well, Shu Di just fell into Yunqing's hands earlier." "With Yunqing's ability, no matter how complicated Shu Di is, he can take it, it's just a matter of time.
Meng Nian said worriedly: "Lord Wang, once Yunqing occupies Shu, do you think he will wave his troops south?" If Yunqing occupies Jiangnan again, they will be like a tiger with wings at that time, and they will also be in danger.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "No." Yunqing is cautious, and he will not take risks if he does not have enough food and grass supply. "Being cautious is both a strength and a weakness.
Meng Nian said worriedly: "Even if you don't wave your troops south now, when Shanxi and Henan and other places stabilize down, Yunqing will definitely lead troops to attack Jiangnan." ”
Yan Wushuang is not a person who is lightly defeated: "It will take at least two years for Shanxi and Henan to stabilize and settle down." In two years, there will be many variables. ”
Meng Nian looked bitter and said, "Sometimes, I feel that God is helping them. "Yunqing raised an army to rebel and occupy the northwest, which is called smooth sailing. Now leading troops to attack Shanxi and Henan and other places is also surprisingly smooth.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "What God is helping them, it's just that the Han clan has the ability to predict, knowing that there will be a big natural disaster last year, and they have made preparations in advance." "For Qu Liangyi, He Ye and others, this natural disaster is painful, but for the Han clan with the ability to predict, it is an opportunity.
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'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 accept it.
