Liu Yu thought for a while and shook his head: "If that's the case, why did the elite of the 50,000 Di army led by Liang Cheng attack Shouchun at the expense of casualties?" Isn't he fighting for the blood of the Qin State? ”

Murong Lan sighed: "That's Liang Cheng wanted to gamble, the first battle of Junchuan, the whole Qin State looked at the Jin State and the Beifu Army differently, from the previous extreme contempt, to the fear in his heart, after all, the Yanzhou soldiers and horses of Ju Nan and Peng Chao are also an elite on the southern border of the Qin State, and they have plundered the two Huai and suppressed Ding Ling for many years, which is not easy to match, but it was completely annihilated in the first war, and the news has shaken the whole Qin State, and it is also the fundamental reason why most of the civil ministers and military generals opposed it during the Fu Jian Dynasty. ”

"Therefore, when the Qin army went south, it was originally imagined that it was the same as before, driving all kinds of foreign armies as the vanguard, and using the Di army to monitor the back, but with the experience of Ju Jie and Peng Chao's previous experience, the leaders of these slippery heads of various tribes are all working in the back and not making efforts, and they will seize and loot empty cities, but when they encounter a solidly defended city, they are stationed in the camp, and they would rather be useless, but seek to preserve their strength. Shouchun is the first city with strong defense when the Qin State went south this time, and as soon as you made a move, you broke Yang Qiu's plan to surrender, which shocked the generals of the Qin army a lot, so except for Liang Cheng's department, the armies of other ethnic groups stopped in the Huaibei area, and it was this Liang Cheng who also ordered Fu Rong to march to Shouchun urgently. ”

Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully: "I see." Thinking of this, he suddenly sneered, "Since this is the case, our army has already shocked the morale of the Qin army, so we should stick to Shouchun, and even let the Beifu army go out in advance to fight a decisive battle with the enemy." When the time comes, your Murong family and the Yao family will take the opportunity to make trouble in the north, so that you can bring down the Qin State. ”

Murong Lan shook her head: "Liu Yu, things are much more complicated than you think. The Qin State didn't want to lose the elite soldiers of the Di clan, could it be that Xie Xuan was willing to take the lead in the Beifu soldiers, an elite army that he had built up with great difficulty? Huaibei has always been a tug-of-war between the Qin and Jin dynasties, not a core area, where the army will temporarily give up when the border is pressed, and then take it back when the enemy retreats. Moreover, from the perspective of the Jin Kingdom, the long-term war and tug of war between Huaibei and Qilu will lead to the north's displaced people constantly going south. ”

Liu Yu said sharply: "It's nonsense, Xuan Shuai is dedicated to the country, and he will not only seek personal interests like your Murong family, Murong Lan, don't think that everyone in the world is the same as you, wolf ambition, and ungrateful gratitude!" ”

Murong Lan sighed: "In the face of power, there is no loyalty at all. You know better than me the situation of the Xie family in the Jin State now, it has aroused the suspicion of the emperor, and there are also families in the family who want to seize their position, Xie An resigned from the phase and retreated to Dongshan, and let Xie Xuan go out of the north of the town and take over the military power of the five states, which is to retreat as a move to advance, Jiangbei is the Xie family's own land, they will be like the Huan family monopolizing Jingzhou, firmly grasp the military power here, so that it can be a strong domain, and it can be in charge of the court, but the basis of all this is on the Beifu Army, if the Beifu Army is exhausted, So what is left of the Xie family? ”

Liu Yu was dumbfounded, and wanted to refute Murong Lan's words, but he didn't know where to start, and even faintly, he felt that what this woman said also made some sense.

Murong Lan stared at Liu Yu's eyes tightly, and the speed of his speech began to speed up: "Jingzhou is the nest of the Huan family that has been operating for decades, and Xiangyang is the most important base in the north of Jingzhou. ”

"Xie Xuan asked you to go to Shouchun, just to do the marriage, with the marriage, Huan Yi can lead the troops to garrison Shouchun, then Xu Yuanxi is not good to object, in this way, the soldiers of Xifu in Yuzhou can be stationed in Shouchun on behalf of the Beifu soldiers, consuming the vanguard elite of the Qin army, this practice, what is the difference between this approach and the Qin army driving the Huns, Qian, Qiang, Xianbei, and Han people and other foreign armies as the vanguard to attack the city, and the Di army is monitoring in the rear, what is the difference?"

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "But the plan has changed, the marriage failed, and in the end I came to garrison Shouchun, and Xuan Shuai also said that he would send troops to respond, you see, now that all the Beifu troops are dispatched, how can you not save yourself when you see death?" ”

Murong Lan laughed: "Liu Yu, you think too highly of yourself. Who do you think you are? Xie Xuan's son? Will you gamble on the entire Beifu Army for your own sake? Don't say that you are just a prospective son-in-law, even if you are really the nephew of the Xie family, they will not take the risk of taking the family and the Beifu Army for you alone. ”

"Liu Yu, wake up, the reason why the book told you to stick to it is because there is no other way, Xu Yuanxi had no will to fight at that time, and wanted to abandon Shouchun, it was you who insisted on defending, and you also have the ability to defend the city, weigh the pros and cons, only let you guard Shouchun for a while, you can withstand the best, and if you can't resist you, you also have the ability to break through, it is impossible to tell you to run away without fighting, even if you give this kind of order, you can't accept it, right."

Liu Yu sighed, he knew that Murong Lan was telling the truth, and if he really wanted to withdraw by himself, even if it was Xie Xuan's order, he would never accept it. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "But Shouchun has been lost, why do you need to send a large army to rescue?" Hu Bin's subordinates had already been dispatched before the siege, and they became horns with Shouchun. ”

Murong Lan smiled slightly, and the water in her eyes flowed: "Liu Yu, you know the art of war better than me, do you have to deceive yourself?" How can there be horns dozens of miles away in this world? You look at Shouchun City every day, can you see Hu Bin? He is just camping in Kipshi, dozens of miles away, to give you hope, and more to reassure the defenders in Shouchun City, letting them know that Xie Xuan has not abandoned them and will come to the rescue at any time. ”

"May I ask how many times the Qin army has attacked Shouchun, what actions did Hu Bin take? In the end, they came out that night, but they didn't come to save Shouchun, but wanted to retreat to Guangling, but they stopped on the way, and when they returned to the camp, they found that they had occupied the camp, and they had to continue north to the backup camp, do you really think they are here to save you? If you want to come to help, it's early to come. ”

Liu Yu said hatefully: "Hu Bin originally had insufficient troops, so he could do this, but after the loss of Shouchun, the Beifu Army still dispatched the whole army, how do you explain it?" ”

Murong Lan said with a smile: "This is because Xie Xuan had to dispatch, Shouchun was lost, the morale of the Qin army soared, the two major theaters of Jingzhou and Huainan were connected, and the developed waterways could allow the grain and reinforcements from the north of the Qin army to go south, it can be said that the Qin State has mastered the initiative on the battlefield, and if it continues to defend Guangling, it will definitely be defeated!" ”
