Liu Yu was so choked that he couldn't speak for a while, in fact, this question had been stored in his heart for a long time, but today he said it to Liu Muzhi's face like this, he was speechless, his brows furrowed, and said: "Then they are like this in the army, and they can't even plead for mercy, why?" ”

Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, today's hairball's chief followers Feng Qian also mentioned this, saying that he was asked to intercede with his father and uncle and let them ask him to help, but Maoqiu was very angry and told him to shut up." He said that he had no face to go back to Mao's house, and if he couldn't make a contribution, he would have to go incognito to the poor countryside! ”

Liu Muzhi laughed: "Slave, slave, you are still too straightforward, you can't hear the meaning of his words." In fact, this is just talking, the most important thing is to ask Xuan Shuai to hear it, if he doesn't let the Mao brothers participate in the competition after hearing it, it will be equivalent to Xuan Shuai letting the Mao family die. ”

Liu Yu's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's really the case, the Mao family is the founding general, loyal and good for generations, this time it is only a temporary traitor of the enemy army to fail, why should the nephew be punished like this?" ”

Liu Muzhi sighed: "Do you really believe that a veteran general like Mao Anzhi will not even be able to cope with this kind of surprise attack of the Qin army, and the whole army will collapse without even the strength of a battle?" Besides, such a collapse, but no one died, most of them ran back, and they can be recontained, and General Tian Luo can also calmly pack up his troops and retreat to San'a, if he really loses miserably, will this be the case? ”

Liu Yu gasped: "You mean, this time General Mao deliberately defeated?" ”

Liu Muzhi nodded: "These things are also some clues that I found after I recently went to the Chinese army and participated in the processing of a lot of documents, the previous military operations of the Great Jin Dynasty, whether it was the Northern Expedition or the conquest in Jingxiang and Huai, were all controlled by their own people to defeat the pressure of foreign enemies, and now the two major feudal towns of Jingyang are not subordinate to each other." Last time we made a suggestion during the military discussion, asking Xuan Shuai to abandon Huaibei and lead the enemy army to the Huainan area to be destroyed, I think that if even we can think of a way, Xuan Shuai and they should have considered it a long time ago. ”

Liu Yu understood a little: "So General Mao is a fraud?" Attract the enemy into Huainan? But he is not from the Xie family, and his troops are not the Beifu Army, what good can such a fiasco do him? ”

Liu Muzhi sighed: "There is something you may not know, General Mao's 40,000 guards and horses were originally going to be transferred to the Jingzhou battlefield, Xiangyang was besieged, and Huan Chong had an army of 100,000, but he didn't dare to rescue, but instead asked the imperial court for help, asking Mao Anzhi's guards to be rescued." I only recently saw these Tang newspapers. If it weren't for Peng Chao's difficulty in raiding Huaibei, I was afraid that General Mao would have to lead the army to Xiangyang. ”

Liu Yu nodded: "I heard that the Mao family has always been in the Jingxiang area, when the powerful minister Yu Yi, that is, the Jingzhou Thorn History before Huan Wen, wanted to go on the Northern Expedition, with Mao Bao as the general, garrisoned Nanyang, ready to enter the Central Plains, but was preemptively sent by Shi Zhao to send Ran Min and other five generals, with more than 100,000 troops to besiege, Mao Bao could not support, the army was defeated and died, since then the children of the Mao family left Jingzhou and transferred to the central government as a guard. ”

Liu Muzhi said: "Yes, Jingzhou there, to the north is the Nanyang Basin, and then to the north is Luoyang, which is the center of the Hu people in the north, so the army here is also the most powerful, even if Mao Bao's good fight, it is inevitable that the army will be defeated and killed, this time Fu Jian is Murong Chui as the general, 200,000 troops went straight to Xiangyang, and conquered the outer city in one day, but it is not broken in a few months, is it really impossible to break it, or do you want to use this as bait to eat the reinforcements and take Jingzhou directly?" What do you think? ”

Liu Yu sighed: "Although General Zhu Xu, the defender of Xiangyang, is a famous general, but there are less than 10,000 soldiers, the outer city is broken, there is no grain and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside. In this way, Qin Guo wanted to besiege the city and send reinforcements, so it was no wonder that Huan Chong did not dare to save it. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu nodded: "So Mao Anzhi would rather go to the rescue of Huaibei than go to Jingzhou, just to preserve his strength." If he can really repel Peng Chao, he will definitely be transferred to the front line in Jingzhou, so he will be defeated, anyway, there are Beifu soldiers behind, so that the Qin army, a partial division, will really drink the Yangtze River. ”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "You finally figured it out." Of course, this deception also has to be played to the fullest. The Huan family is not at ease here, so they will let Huan Xuan come over in the name of inspection and labor army, just to supervise the situation here, after Mao Anzhi's defeat, the troops were scattered, but most of them were let Xuan Shuai take them in, which is equivalent to greatly increasing the strength of the Beifu soldiers, I think, this is the agreement he reached with Xuan Shuai, and even Xie Xianggong privately, so as not to spoil the state affairs, and avoid the errand of going to Jingzhou to die, after all, against Murong Chui, who is known as invincible in the world, it is not possible to cheat if you want to lose. ”

Liu Yu shook his head, a look of disdain flashed on his face: "But I still can't accept this approach, soldiers should be fearless of everything, how can they be defeated like this because the enemy is too strong?" If you lose this bloody backbone, are you still called a soldier? It is better to die standing than to live while sitting! ”

Liu Muzhi sighed: "General Mao Bao just died standing back then, what was the result?" As a result, the military power in his hands was gone, and the nephew slowly got up again from the junior officer after many years, and Jingzhou, which was previously guarded, also became the territory of the Huan family. When an ordinary soldier and a small officer are brave, hot-blooded, and cut all the way, but in order to be a commander, they have to think about retreating and thinking about how to protect themselves. I can only say that the angle and position are different. ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Maybe what you said makes sense, but the Mao family did this, in order to give an explanation to the court and the Huan family, so they can only let their sons and nephews serve as servants in the army as punishment, which can be regarded as an explanation, but once they have the opportunity, they will still be allowed to enter the combat unit and make meritorious contributions." ”

Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "Isn't this an obvious thing, Xuan Shuai must have reached an agreement long ago before letting General Mao defeat him, and the next counterattack war, and even the decisive battle against the Qin State, will definitely give the Mao family a chance, as for whether they can catch it or not, it depends on their ability." At that point, they will be really fighting, and I'm sure, they'll play well. ”

"Slave, this time you are tantamount to a great favor to the Mao family, the Mao family brothers will be grateful to you in the future, if the Mao family can make meritorious contributions in this battle, they will definitely be able to become the guard of one party in the future, this will be your lifelong friend and borrowable strength, what I just said, that's what it means, take advantage of it."
