Lu Ren once calculated that the focus of Lao Cao's current strategy is in Hanzhong rather than in the north, this is a conclusion based on the process of historical materials, will there be any changes Lu Ren's heart is not very confident. www.biquge.info But Xun Yu is different, Xun Yu has worked under Lao Cao for more than 20 years, and he is very clear about Lao Cao's strategic planning. So when Lu Ren asked Xun Yu about this, Xun Yu gave the answer that Lao Cao would fight Hanzhong, because Lao Cao would only have the initiative to attack Shu if he snatched Hanzhong down. In this way, since Liu Bei took Chengdu, he will still be in a rather passive position strategically.

What is the original history, I won't talk about him here, but at this time, Liu Bei is still fighting in Shuzhong, and he couldn't take Shuzhong down, and judging from all aspects of intelligence, Liu Bei can't take it down in a short time. The main reason is that Zhou Yu did not die, and a considerable number of troops from the Eastern Wu side were stationed in Chaisang and Baqiu to look at Jiangling, which then contained a lot of troops of Liu Bei's group, so that Liu Bei did not dare to transfer the troops from Jingzhou into Shuzhong as in the original history.

Then this situation collapsed to Lao Cao, and Lao Cao also wanted to send troops to grab Hanzhong as soon as possible, so as not to fall into the hands of Liu Bei when Hanzhong, the gateway to Shuzhong, would be even more difficult to eliminate Liu Bei.

But just as Lu Ren was worried, Lu Ren's three reinforcements to Juyong Pass, although each time he sent not many troops, and to put it mildly, every time he put on a philistine face to reap the benefits, but the inexplicable victory in the third reinforcement and Kebineng's head made the suspicious Lao Cao have some doubts about Lu Ren's actions in western Liaoning.

Although Lu Ren's military ability is poor, he is not such an easy person to deal with, Lao Cao knows it in his heart. As for Lu Ren's recent activities in western Liaoning, Lao Cao has more or less received some news, but due to the long distance, complicated situation, etc., Lao Cao does not know much.

In addition, Lu Ren is also very patient, except for a chrysanthemum port that is slowly growing, there is no other action, so it does seem to be like what was said at the beginning, "to ensure the safety of the trade points in western Liaoning", but the three reinforcement operations obviously showed Lu Ren's good combat effectiveness, Lao Cao will not worry? Therefore, Lao Cao also raised his vigilance against Lu Ren's side. And this matter can be seen from some of Lao Cao's current troop movements.

I won't say much about this, anyway, Lao Cao is a mentality that wants to send troops to snatch Hanzhong, but is afraid that Lu Ren will stab him in the back. At this time, Lu Ren had a quarrel with Liaodong, which was undoubtedly good news for Lao Cao. Lu Ren's territory is thousands of miles away from Liaodong, and Liaodong is not a bully, so if these two ends fight, they can't finish the battle for a year or two. And for a year or two, Lao Cao believed that he could take down Hanzhong with his own strength, and then turn back to see the development of the situation.

Therefore, in the face of the expression sent by Lu Ren now, Lao Cao's greatest wish is to do something in it a little bit, so as to stimulate Lu Ren and Liaodong to meet each other. And playing this kind of word games and conspiracy, Lao Cao himself is an expert, and he has a large number of relevant talents, so it didn't take long to reply to Lu Ren and Gongsun Gong with a gorgeous letter, the biggest feature of these two letters is that they look like persuasion, but in fact, they are adding fuel to the fire of Lu Ren and Gongsun Gong.

Don't say what Gongsun Gong's reaction was, Lu Ren secretly laughed after receiving this letter, and said in his heart Several people here have been under your Lao Cao for many years, what kind of style your Lao Cao is, we can't see it? However, the current result is exactly what Lu Ren needs, so he openly released the news that Yizhou will send troops to Gongsun Gong to settle accounts in the near future.

By the way, this diplomatic war of words lasted for two months, after all, the transportation was not convenient at that time. This is under Lu Ren's careful preparation, and all parties use their own clippers for information transmission, otherwise they will not be able to finish in two months. So by the time the mouth battle was over and the troops were ready to be dispatched, the time had already reached October of the nineteenth year of Jian'an......

Liaoxi, Chrysanthemum Port.

Lu Ren has already said that he will send troops to Liaodong, so he will naturally inform Liaoxi to make corresponding preparations as well. For example, in the recent period, Lu Lingqi and Zhao Yu, according to Lu Ren's instructions, began to persuade the people in the border areas of western and eastern Liaodong to move to other places, so as not to be affected by the upcoming war.

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. In the agricultural era, the ancients were very rural, and it was not easy for them to leave their hometowns. For this reason, Lu Lingqi and Zhao Yu, as well as Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu, had to dispatch the troops stationed in Chrysanthemum Harbor, and many times even used semi-coercive means to forcibly take away the people who did not want to leave...... Well, to put it mildly, Lu Ren is also using this method to grab some people from the territory of Liaodong.

At this moment, in front of the council office in Chrysanthemum Harbor, Lu Lingqi, who had just completed the task, turned over and dismounted and went straight into the hall. As soon as she entered the hall, Lu Lingqi threw the helmet to the attendant in the hall, and then took the hot tea handed over by the attendant and greeted several people in the hall: "Xiaoyu, Ziying, I'm back." ”

Zhao Yu and Murong Ziying were discussing the sand table map, and when they saw Lu Lingqi coming back, Zhao Yu asked, "Lingqi, you are back, how is your team doing this time?" ”

Lu Lingqi sighed: "Alas, don't mention it! This time, the total number of tribes is only about 3,000, but it took me a lot of effort to convince them that they will come to Chrysanthemum Harbor in a while, and I don't know if they will actually come...... Let's not talk about this first, is there any news from Uncle Lu? ”

Murong Ziying nodded, handed a telegram to Lu Lingqi and sighed lightly: "The lord's side can actually send troops at any time, but considering some factors, there will be a little longer delay in time." In addition, the lord did not fight this battle to attack the city and plunder the land, but just wanted to seek justice from Liaodong, so he said in the text that he did not want to hurt the innocent people, so he also gave the innocent people a time to escape. ”

Zhao Yu continued: "Let's not mention these things first, it's winter now, and I don't know when the winter snow will fall." This kind of climate is not good for our soldiers here in Chrysanthemum Harbor, but the soldiers in Yizhou are a little unsuitable for the cold climate in the north because they have been staying in the hot places of the south for many years. Sir, he chose to delay a little longer, also to let the soldiers who were used to staying in the south adapt to the cold climate first. If it is feasible, it should be delayed until after the beginning of spring next year. ”

The four people in Chrysanthemum Harbor did not attend that meeting, and in order to keep it secret, Lu Ren did not tell Lu Lingqi their true intentions. So what is Lu Ren's true intention? To put it bluntly, it is to delay a little longer as much as possible, so that Lao Cao feels that the battle between Lu Ren and Liaodong will not be completed so quickly, so that Lao Cao can go to Hanzhong with peace of mind.

On the other hand, Lu Ren's economic strength is far stronger than that of Liaodong, and fighting this kind of protracted war that delays time can drag Liaodong's economy into an abyssal quagmire, severely weaken Liaodong's vitality, and make it difficult for Liaodong's economic strength to recover, which can also create a favorable situation for Liaodong's strategy in the future.

Of course, these are not the things that the Chrysanthemum Harbor Quartet should be concerned about, they are facing other problems on this side.

"Not long ago, I reported that the troops in Liaodong were about to be raised, and the Xianbei Budugen in our north was also ready to move, and it was very likely that a big battle was coming at any time on our side of Liaoxi, so all departments had to be careful to prepare. Sister Lu, the strength of Liaodong is not easy to say, and the plan is mainly to stay in Liaodong to deal with the soldiers and horses that the lord may drive over at any time, and what we will face is likely to be the nomadic army of Budugen, and its number is not a few.

"Especially now that it's early winter, and we have plenty of supplies in Chrysanthemum Port, which is enough to make Budugen and other tribes covet. According to the situation in previous years, even if there was no invitation from the Gongsun clan, Bu Dugen would have wanted to come here to plunder us. Our troops are not more than 10,000, but Budugen's troops will be at least 30,000 or more, and this battle will be a tough and bloody battle as soon as it is fought, and we must not be careless. ”

"I know! Xiaoyu, you are better at this than me, I just need to rush and kill in front of the formation, and you have to come to design and plan, arrange troops and arrange formations. Besides, you're the highest-ranking of us. ”

Due to the influence of Lu Ren, Zhao Yu also raised his hand to take a brain break from Lu Lingqi, and scolded with a smile: "You know that you are tired of me!" ”

After discussing these messy things, Lu Lingqi walked out of the mansion. After greeting Congqi, Lu Lingqi did not go back to the house to rest, but bought a lot of snacks in the street market in the city to bring them, but came to the orphanage opened in the city in a hurry.

In recent years, many places in the north have been looted by Hu Rong, and many adults in rural villages have been taken captive by Hu Rong as slaves, and the old and young children Hu Rong do not look down on them, and sometimes they are too lazy to kill, so there are many orphans and old people who are unable to survive on their own in the surrounding areas of western Liaoning. After Murong Ziying and Tuoba Yu took over Chrysanthemum Port, they established orphanages and nursing homes according to Yizhou standards, bringing together these elderly people and children to take care of them. If conditions permit, these old people and children will be transferred to Yizhou as much as possible.

These things were originally the old business of the Yizhou female soldiers led by Lu Lingqi, but after Lu Lingqi officially led the troops to battle, this kind of thing was no longer directly handled. But whenever she has free time, Lu Lingqi will still come to see these children, and many of them are picked up by her.

As soon as they entered the orphanage, a large group of orphans surrounded Lu Lingqi, and the chaotic laughter came and went. Lu Lingqi smiled and distributed the snacks and small toys she brought to the orphans, and then found a quiet corner and sat there quietly to watch the children play. Looking at it, the corners of Lu Lingqi's mouth also brought out a smile that was both relieved but a little down.

I don't know when, Tuoba Yu appeared on Lu Lingqi's side, but Lu Lingqi was so engrossed that she didn't notice that Tuoba Yu was by her side. Tuoba Yu looked at Lu Lingqi's expression carefully for a while, and suddenly sighed softly: "Sister Lingqi, you like children so much, should you also become a family?" Don't forget, you're in your thirties. ”

"Ah, Xiaoyu is you."

Tuoba Yu also answered, and the two of them sat down again, looking at the children who were playing together. After a long time, Tuoba Yu said softly: "Sister Lingqi, do you really want to come and not marry for life?" ”

Lu Lingqi pursed her lips: "I think I'm very good now, I can help Uncle Lu lead the army and share some worries for Uncle Lu." If you get married, you will always have to take care of your family, how can things be done well? Besides, I'm so powerful, what man would dare to marry me? ”

Tuoba Yu heard Lu Lingqi mention Lu Ren, and his eyes also flowed for a while......

————————————————————

In order to delay time, Lu Ren can use any trick. For example, he actually claimed to be sick to the outside world, and he was sick by the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, so the time to send troops was moved back again.

It's just that Lu Ren is going to send troops later, but others may not be delayed. It is like the root of the step, last year's winter grassland was excessively cold, this year is hard to support, at this time to calculate the account, the result is that this year's winter will be very bitter.

Xianbei Budugen commands many tribes, and there are about fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses that can be raised, so the total population is not a small number. If it was in the past, many Xianbei tribes would drive a large number of cattle, horses and sheep to trade with the people on the Han and Turkish borders, and exchange cattle and horses for grain, rice, and millet. But now?

If you can't beat it, you can change it honestly, and if you can beat it, you can grab it unscrupulously! This was the practice of the Wuhu tribe at that time. Now Budugen has an army of 50,000 or 60,000, but for them, they are so rich that Chrysanthemum Port only has more than 10,000 troops, which means that Budugen's troops are more than five times that of Chrysanthemum Port. With such a strong force, what else would Budugen be afraid of? At this time, in the eyes of Bu Dugen, Chrysanthemum Harbor is his granary, just grab it and use it, why use the tribal cattle and horses, or share it with others?

There is another one, Budugen was also a big figure in the Xianbei tribe at that time, but Tuoba Yu, who emerged in Chrysanthemum Harbor, has a high status in the Xianbei genealogy, and his political status is much more advantageous than his Budugen, and Tuoba Yu has also been striving for the support of many Xianbei tribes, and many scattered tribes under Budugen's command have been poached by Tuoba Yu. Tuoba Yu is a person with a big background, if it continues to develop like this, the tribe under Bu Dugen may be dug up more and more by Tuoba Yu, so Bu Dugen also feels that he has to get rid of this little girl as soon as possible...... Well, you don't have to get rid of it. This little girl is very tasteful, maybe it's not bad to throw it into her own tent and ravage it at will?

So seeing that the time was almost up, Budugen ignored Kebi's defeat in Juyongguan in the spring and summer...... To be honest, it was also defeated in the hands of Lao Cao, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with the Chrysanthemum Harbor side, and even with Budugen, he didn't pay attention to the willingness of the Liaodong side to send troops together, but personally led an army of 50,000 into the Chrysanthemum Harbor. Budugen's intention is obvious, that is, to take down the Chrysanthemum Port by himself and enjoy the benefits for himself.

It's not interesting to gossip too much. 50,000 Xianbei cavalry rushed to the right Beiping, and there is no need to mention how they burned, killed and looted along the way. After Zhao Yu heard the news, he immediately ordered the Chrysanthemum Port garrison, which had been scattered to persuade the people to relocate, to return to the city and assemble quickly. As for those "nail households" who are greedy for the countryside, they really can't take care of it. Anyway, when the catastrophe is coming, I believe that they themselves will run for their lives desperately.

Naturally, there will be a tough battle next. In the face of the Xianbei army, which was several times his size, Zhao Yu adopted the tactics of sticking to the city and not fighting hard with the Xianbei army. Anyway, Chrysanthemum Harbor has been operating painstakingly for two or three years before, and most of Murong Ziying's subordinates are also Xianbei cavalry, and they know the tactics of the grassland cavalry, so the construction of the city is not only strong and abnormal, but also many of the settings can effectively contain the tactics that Budugen is good at, and further strengthen these city defense settings. So in the face of such a fortified city, Budugen's army of 50,000 was almost helpless.
