Luring wolves into the house will eventually become a problem
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Dada's brilliant pen "immortalized" Zhuge Liang, but there was no belittling of Xun Yu, both of whom were ordinary prime ministers. In Cao Cao's rise trajectory, "Wang Zuozhicai" Xun Wenruo played an important role, but when Cao Mengde finally called himself a lonely widow, he resolutely chose to part ways with him!
From the point of view of later generations, Xun Yu seems to be a little ignorant of current affairs, or unwilling to face the reality, the Han family was already a mud that could not support the wall at that time, as far as the Son of Heaven is concerned, how can Liu Xie, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, be compared with Cao Cao? Besides, his desperate struggle is just a mantis arm as a car. But in Liu Yi's heart, he has great respect for a person like Xun Yu who can adhere to his ideals and beliefs and is not afraid of power and life, or it is precisely because he can't do it that he will admire him even more.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were not a few literati like Xun Wenruo, some people dared to scold Cao naked, and some people dared to eliminate traitors for the country! Not to mention anything else, if his teacher Lu Zhi and these people change places, Liu Yi absolutely believes that they will do it. The place of righteousness is in the Hereafter or is just a noun, but it is very real in this life.
"General Liu, Zhonglang has a request for a discussion." The voice of the messenger pulled Liu Yi out of his contemplation, this voice was far away, and it was definitely five feet away from the camp.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Liu Yi replied loudly, these troubles should be left for later, the so-called boat to the bridgehead is naturally straight, here get up and let the blue arrow rest well and then return to Luoyang, it is to go to Zhonglang's camp, the battle in Jizhou will continue, so many Yellow Turban soldiers are qualified soldiers and strong labor in Xiao Yi's eyes.
The Tian'er Blue Arrow came very quickly, so Zhu Jun still didn't know the news from Luoyang at this time, and he invited Liu Yi to come to gather the generals to discuss the next strategy. After some discussion, the direction of the Han army's attack was basically determined, and the deputy marshal Liu Yi took the initiative to ask Ying to attack Anping, which was guarded by Menghu, the general under Zhang Yan of Montenegro, and the commander Zhu Jun led the army to besiege Julu Qingye.
Liu Yi led the soldiers of Xiyuan and the cavalry of the forbidden army, and Lu Kuang, the general of the Ling army, and Lu Yang, the general of Hengjiang, led the troops to help, totaling more than 50,000 horse infantry troops. Originally, Zhu Jun wanted to personally lead the army to attack Anping, but Lang Sheng said that the strong attack here should be shared by his subordinates as the commander-in-chief, which Zhonglang and the generals appreciated, Anping's city defense is stronger than the plain, and Menghu's command is the elite of the Montenegrin army, Liu Yi's move is to bravely shoulder the burden and gnaw hard bones, and the giant deer is mostly surrounded but not fought!
In the art of war, there is the most important word of attacking the city, and as far as the general of the unified army is concerned, attacking the city is also a last resort, and Liu Yi is no different. This attack on Anping he has ulterior motives, do not want to fight does not mean not to fight, in the years of conquest in the future he will also face a strong attack on the Xiongguan city, siege is also a military problem that must be overcome at this time, since you can't avoid it, you have to accumulate experience in time, through continuous actual combat to find out a most effective way to siege the city!
The next day after the plan was made in the army, Zhu Jun and Liu Yi set off to unify the army, and Li Zhengze, the general under Zhonglang, led 20,000 cavalry to meet the two roads, and Liu Yi led the army to march for three days to reach the city of Anping.
"General Liu, there is a guide officer to explore the terrain, and he will report it truthfully, so why bother to go in person? As the deputy marshal of the army, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Front, the general should not take the risk lightly, it is better to let the last general go to explore it and return to the general in detail. After Lu Kuang and Lu Yang set up camp, they came to Liu Yi to discuss the military situation, but they saw Lang Sheng coming out of the account, and when he asked to check the terrain of Anping in detail, Lu Kuang, the general of the Ling Army, immediately said, Lu Yang was also on the side! Liu Yi has always been very popular in the army, and his outstanding military exploits have won the admiration of the generals in the army, and the generals in the army are relatively more straightforward.
"What General Lu said is that Yi is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Front and is responsible for taking Anping. Even a slight negligence may be the lives of dozens of brothers, and the two generals can rest assured that there is Yi in the palm of the halberd and dismounted, and I expect him to dare not go out of the city. Today, I will investigate the military situation in detail, and tomorrow I will personally lead the soldiers of Xiyuan to attack the city. Liu Yi said with a relaxed smile.
"Why bother Vice Marshal Liu to go out in person, since Lu and Brother Guangping should take the lead." After listening to Liu Yi's words, the second general also nodded secretly, for the general really needs this solid attitude, the golden wolf Liu Yi blood dragon swallows the sky and the dark clouds cover the snow, how easy is it for others to hurt him? However, I heard that Liu Yi was going to take the lead after surveying the terrain, but Lu Yang, the general of Hengjiang, said out.
"Hey, only before came to be trusted by Zhonglang, and the two generals were Yi's predecessors, but there is no particular order to contribute to the country, how can Yi not come to the war to suppress the battle for his brothers? The two generals watched the battle with me, and they could find out the deficiencies of Anping's city defense, and they would definitely live up to Zhonglang's trust if they discussed in detail. Liu Yi knew that Lu Yang had good intentions, it was difficult to attack the city, and it was even more difficult to take the lead, and he couldn't run away with heavy casualties, but he came to accumulate experience, and he didn't want to make the second general feel guilty because of this.
"Since the rebellious general said so, the two of us have nothing to say, whether it is to investigate the battlefield in detail on the spot, or let the two of us accompany the deputy marshal to go together." Lu Kuang said first, I have heard for a long time that Liu Langsheng not only has outstanding military achievements, but also never shirks when assisting his comrades in battle, and is even better at carrying heavy burdens to fight strong enemies! Now that this statement is true, coupled with his appropriate words, it can make people feel a kind of respect.
"Hahaha, Brother Guangping's words are reasonable, but General Fangcai's words are also reasonable, you and I can't come out together, this is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, I will ask General Lu to sit in the camp, and General Yi and General Lu will go to investigate." Liu Yi said with a hearty smile when he heard this.
"General Liu is favoring one over the other, it seems that Lu Mou lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot." When Lu Kuang heard this, he shook his head and smiled.
"Guangping doesn't need to say much, the deputy marshal has just said, they are all contributing to the country, how can they divide each other? You're going to sit here in the camp. Lu Yang said, the atmosphere is more harmonious now.
Liu Yi led the three armies to attack Anping, and his use of battle formation tactics, as well as his attitude of checking his own shortcomings and being good at adopting the proposals of his subordinates, won the unanimous admiration of all the generals in the army, even including Feng Fang and Zhao Rong, and the attack on Anping should be said to be progressing quite smoothly!
At the same time, the dispute between ministers and relatives in Luoyang has become more and more intense, and there is a tense atmosphere in Beijing. Xiliang Taishou Dong Zhuo led 80,000 Xiliang iron horsemen to the eastern capital, He Jinzhi has more confidence to have strong reinforcements coming, but a group of people of insight are more worried, Dong Zhuo is coming to the house to force reinforcements or lure wolves into the house to form a big trouble? I'm afraid that only Liu Yi under Anping City can give an accurate answer, and luring wolves into the house will eventually become a problem!
Menghu, as the name suggests, has the meaning of a tiger, maybe he is slightly inferior to the top four generals of the Yellow Turbans such as Guan Hai, Zhoucang, Zhang Niujiao, etc., but in his eyes, it is just the courage of the horseman, and the great courage lies in commanding thousands of troops and horses to win the battlefield for the general. Zhang Yan has always been very important to him, and he is indeed very competitive, and several attacks by the official army in the past have been easily resolved by him.
In the previous defeat of the Montenegrin army, he did not participate in the Qinghe defeat of Zhang Yan's order, but he regretted it very much afterwards, because in his opinion, if he participated, maybe Liu Yi's name of winning a hundred battles would be rewritten, and the defeat of this battle was not Liu Langsheng's use of troops like a god and was not united within the Yellow Turban, and the strategy was not implemented thoroughly! Just like the battle of Jizhou in front of him, he couldn't figure out that the handsome and so many yellow turban names would be afraid of Liu Yi like a tiger? Even let him be bloodless!
Hearing that Liu Yi personally led the army to fight Anping, Meng Hu was more excited in his heart, he didn't have the fear of Liu Langsheng of the Golden Wolf Army in his heart, he just wanted to defeat this powerful opponent's confidence! Yes, even he had to admit that Liu Yi was a strong enemy, which was actually proved by countless battlefields, but the battle of Anping was a fortification, and the cavalry that Liu Lang was proud of was not needed at all! Sometimes he even felt that this battle was not fair to Liu Yi, because defending the city took too much advantage!
Many things are like this, it is not difficult to see people carrying the burden, and they are carrying the burden and breaking the waist by themselves. The first battle under Anping City made him perceive the difference of the Golden Wolf Army, different attack formations, different arms of troops, different tactical convergence, when the Han army only took one morning to fill in the Anping moat, Meng Hu finally knew why the generals were so jealous or afraid of Liu Yi! He is not a brave man but a real talent for commanding the army, every detail of the Han army has been done extremely well in such a large battle scene, and the morale is extremely high.
The Golden Wolf Army is worthy of its name, Liu Yi deserves his name, and Meng Hu has this understanding in his heart in half a day, he is a very proud person, but he also respects the facts! Eighteen kills on the head of the city, bringing nearly a thousand casualties to the defenders, purely from the point of view of numbers, this casualty may not be large, but Meng Hu knows that the damage of the Han army is only about a thousand! Anping's city defense is stronger than the plain, and he has made a lot of careful preparations before, even such a nearly one-to-one casualty ratio still shocked him, not to mention that this is only the first day of the Han army's attack!
If Meng Hu knew that the enemy army under the city was not the Golden Wolf Army that terrified the Yellow Turbans, his shock would have at least doubled! The same shock Lu Kuang and Lu Yang also had, at this time they were convinced of what Liu Yi said, if the old fourth battalion under the command of Gan Ning was replaced, the city would be broken within three days! I can't say that the champion Hou Zhiyan still has reservations, looking at today's battle situation, will the Xiyuan Army be able to take the city in three days? The two are confident in this.
