Li sent a blow to the snow, and the news of the surprise attack on Huaisikou spread.

The world shook.

Those who know a little bit about the art of war know that the fall of Huaisikou means that the hundreds of thousands of Wu Chu troops in the territory of Liang are facing a desperate situation in an instant.

When Liu Bi, the king of Wu, received the news, he only felt that the sky was spinning, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he almost fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and bit the tip of his tongue hard to maintain his clarity.

So far, Liu Bi is very clear - big things are going on!

As soon as Huaisikou is lost, this mighty army is about to collapse immediately......

"No......" Liu Bi stood up violently, more than ten years of planning, thinking about major events day and night, how could he fail like this!

"The outnumbered are not defeated!" Liu Bi's eyes were red, and he thought in his heart: "The former Xiang Yu broke the cauldron and sank the boat, the giant deer destroyed Qin, the Marquis of Huaiyin fought against the water, and he would eat Zhao Di, the situation of the widow is similar to these two things, and there is still a fight!" ”

So Liu Bi shouted: "Beat the drum!" Upgrade! Gather the generals! ”

The top priority is to boost morale when there is still food to eat, with the kindness and prestige that he Liu Bi has planted over the past decades, Liu Bi thinks that his subordinate generals will still be willing to make this last fight with him!

As long as Suiyang can be captured before the food is exhausted, then the whole situation will be reversed immediately.

Suiyang is the capital of Fengyi and the capital of Liang State, and there is an unimaginable amount of grain in the treasury!

………………………………

At the same time, in the palace of Suiyang City, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, learned that Zhou Yafu sent the generals Li Ji and Han Rongdang to successfully capture Huaisikou. After blocking the Wu Chu grain road.

Even Liu Wu was very unhappy with Zhou Yafu.

I also had to pat my palm and praise: "The widow heard that the ancients in the past did not sing, but they have become a blockbuster, and today the Taiwei will not sing in March." A blockbuster is a winner, and the widow admires! ”

Between the words, there is still a deep hatred for Zhou Yafu.

Liu Wu is not stupid.

After these days, Liu Wu can understand it.

This Taiwei Zhou Yafu was using his Liang State and using the sacrifice of the Liang State army in exchange for a victory over Wu Chu.

As for the emperor's eldest brother, I'm afraid he will also sit back and watch it.

That's why. Liu Wucai was deeply annoyed with Zhou Yafu.

Brother Emperor, he didn't dare to hate, and he didn't even dare to hate this in his heart.

But Zhou Yafu. is just a courtier, and he dares to ignore the request for help from his dignified vassal king, the first emperor and the Miao descendant, and even more deliberately use him. This made Liu Wu hate to the bones.

"The King. The minister thought that for the sake of today's plan, he should prevent Wu Rebellion from jumping over the wall in a hurry, and imitate the story of King Xiang and Huaiyin, so the minister asked the king to immediately give an order to strengthen the city defense and wait for Wu Rebellion to defeat himself! A general came out of the ranks.

When Liu Wu, the king of Liang, heard this, he had a not very pleasant feeling in his heart. Suddenly thrown out of the clouds.

Liu Wu is a young man, and he has a loose temperament. Follow one's heart.

To put it simply, it's about thinking where is where.

Moody and weirdly changing.

Compared with Zhou Yafu, who was far away in Changyi and couldn't scold even if he wanted to, the general in front of him really made Liu Wu feel overjoyed and extremely happy when he saw it.

This general is eight feet tall, burly and strong, dignified in appearance, and the most rare thing is that he is knowledgeable and reasonable, and has the demeanor of a Confucian general.

Liu Wu admires Meng Weijun and loves to attract diners from all over the world, a general.

Since this general named Li Guang was ordered to come to Suiyang to assist in the defense, Liu Wu immediately fell in love with this general who acted steadily and had an elegant demeanor.

At this moment, Liu Wu heard Li Guang's construction, not to mention that what Li Guang said was reasonable, even if it was unreasonable, he would not lose face.

So, Liu Wu immediately said: "Good, what the general said is very true, and the widow will entrust the important task of defending the city to the general!" ”

As he spoke, he handed over a seal letter and tiger talisman representing Liu Wu, the king of Liang, to Li Guang, with a sincere and profound appearance.

Li Guang didn't even react, he was confused by the seal letter and the tiger talisman, and became the general of the Liang State.

After the meeting ended, stepping out of the palace, a gust of north wind blew, Li Guang suddenly felt a little cold in his neck, and his heart was even more uneasy.

As a general of the imperial court, he was appointed by the princes and kings to seal the tiger talisman and appoint, which is a big taboo!

It's just that after thinking about it, Li Guang doesn't think it's a problem.

Today, he has a broad mind, Taiwei is virtuous and virtuous, and King Liang is benevolent and pro-fan.

Even if he is sealed, surely with the holy wisdom of the Son of Heaven, he will not condemn him!

………………………………………………

And when the news of Liji's success in taking Huaisikou reached Changyi, Zhou Yafu was inspecting the camp with Yizong and other princes.

When Zhou Yafu heard the news of Li's success, he just smiled slightly and said, "I know, wait a minute!" ”

looks light and light, and is not shocked by honor and disgrace.

After the envoys retreated, Zhou Yafu still took Yizong and others to inspect the camp, as usual, personally checking the depth of the trench and inspecting the preparation of the camp's walls and bows.

There was not the slightest hint of joy and joy after the success of the surprise attack.

Yi Zong was inevitably strange when he saw it, so he took advantage of an opportunity when no one was there and asked: "Tai Lieutenant, Qu Zhouhou and Gong Gao Hou successfully attacked Huaisi, why didn't Tai Lieutenant express and commend him?" ”

At this time, Yizong can be said to have become Zhou Yafu's brainless fan.

As the contact with Zhou Yafu deepened, Yizong became more and more respectful of Zhou Yafu.

By Zhou Yafu's side, Yi Zong learned knowledge that he couldn't learn in the past, and he could understand how to dispatch the army and deal with it on the spot, and what moved Yi Zong even more was that whenever he asked, Zhou Yafu would definitely answer.

This kind of kindness is no longer covered by the ordinary relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Yizong lost his relatives at a young age and lacked fatherly love, at this moment, in Yizong's eyes, Zhou Yafu is like his father.

Tall, majestic, wise.

When Zhou Yafu heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Since ancient times, arrogant soldiers have been defeated. The so-called famous generals in ancient times were all honored and disgraced, and Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face. As a captain, I am entrusted by the Son of Heaven, and Encore is carried away, and at this time, I should be calm! ”

At the end, Zhou Yafu added, meaningful: "Besides, at this time." The victory or defeat is not scored, how many generals are defeated after the big victory. For example, Zhang Han, how arrogant the giant deer was, and what kind of scenery the dragon was in Zhao State, and in the end? So. As a commander of the army. Before seeing the enemy's beheading, you should remain calm, be cautious, and think more about the enemy's movements in the event of victory......"

Zhou Yafu turned around, looked at Yizong, and asked, "Yiduwei, let me ask you: Ruojun is Wu Rebellion." At this moment, what will happen? ”

Righteousness is heard. After thinking about it in his heart, he said: "Returning to the Tai Lieutenant, in the opinion of the last general, it is natural to raise troops to storm Suiyang......"

"What if Suiyang can't go down?" Zhou Yafu continued to ask.

Yizong said confidently: "If Suiyang is anxious to go down, it will naturally storm Changyi and Xiayi, and seek survival in death!" ”

These days, following Zhou Yafu, if nothing else, at least the knowledge of this military array has been learned.

And this question is so simple, these days, by Zhou Yafu's side, listening to the discussions and discussions of the generals, Yi Zong naturally knows that these two choices are the conclusions unanimously recognized by almost all Han generals.

As for whether Liu Bi will withdraw his troops?

Are you kidding!

Since ancient times, how many tragedies have occurred when the army was withdrawn, storming Suiyang or Changyi, Liu Bi could still survive in death, but as long as the army retreated, it would immediately collapse.

Especially at this time, the Wu Chu thief army, the army ran out of food, and the people were panicked, once the troops were withdrawn, countless people would immediately start fleeing.

At that time, it may only take a few thousand people to capture hundreds of thousands of rebels like sheep.

It's just that everyone knows these questions, and Yi Zong doesn't understand why Zhou Yafu asked himself so.

Zhou Yafu immediately asked again: "Then according to Du Wei's opinion, Wu Reverse will not attack Suiyang, and will fight Changyi and Xiayi, will Wu Reverse attack Changyi or Xiayi?" ”

"Xiayi!" Yi Zong faced this question and thought about answering.

"Why?" Zhou Yafu asked with a smile, Zhou Yafu was deeply relieved that Yi Zong could answer the answer of Xiayi, and only felt that the teaching over the past few days had not been in vain.

Although, after thinking about it, ordinary generals can also come to the decision that the Wu army will capture the city.

However, Yi Zong has been in the army for less than three months, and he is only a weak crown.

That's a lot of money.

Zhou Yafu has led the army for so many years and has seen countless smart people, but it is the first time he has seen a young man who can grow up so fast like Yizong.

"Such a young man should pass on my mantle!" Zhou Yafu thought to himself.

Zhou Yafu knew very well that after pacifying Wu Chu, he would probably have to leave the army and change to a civilian position.

Otherwise, even if the Son of Heaven is generous, I am afraid that he will not be able to sleep at night!

But none of his sons could have taken up his banner.

Therefore, he urgently needed someone to help him complete his unfinished business, which was to complete the cavalry reform of the Han army and turn the cavalry into the main combat arm, instead of the embarrassing position of not being able to go up and down like now.

And righteousness can be said to be the right time, the right place and the right people.

He is the prince's favorite, the future officialdom hopeful, and more importantly, he may also become a relative.

Han relatives outside, but when you go out, you will worship the general, and if you enter, you will be a phase!

Thinking like this, Yizong became even more important in Zhou Yafu's eyes.

Twenty or thirty years later, Yi Zong is in the prime of life, and may be able to represent the veterans of his generation, expedition to the desert, chase the death and chase the north, complete the defeat of the Xiongnu, and realize the ideal of the king under the whole world and the king of the land.

Yizong didn't know this, he just honestly said his thoughts, and said: "Taiwei, the last general thinks that if Wu Yi can't storm Suiyang, his courage has been vented, and he will not dare to come to Changyi to commit Taiwei Hubeard, and his generation can only storm Xiayi in order to survive, hoping to find a way to live!" ”

When Zhou Yafu heard this, he smiled with satisfaction.

To be honest, thinking of this step, Yizong's expression has far exceeded Zhou Yafu's expectations.

But Zhou Yafu still wanted to try how deep this young man's potential and vision were.

So, he asked again: "In the land of the four battles in Xiayi, between Liang and Luo, Du Wei thinks that Wu Yi will attack from which direction?" ”

This question immediately stumped Yizong.

Yi Zong thought about it carefully. He went through the news he knew so far in his mind, but unfortunately, there was still no inspiration.

At this time. A flash of light suddenly flashed in Yizong's mind.

He remembered that the prince had taught him - "If you encounter a problem and cannot make a decision, it is better to eliminate those impossible options first, this is called elimination!" ”

Haeup, this place can be said to be quite famous.

For this place, Yizong is all too familiar.

back then. Emperor Gao Liu Bang was defeated at Pengcheng and almost all his army was wiped out, and fled to Xiayi with Zhang Liang. It was in the process of escaping that the two of them made a plan to settle down, changed the strategic situation of Chu and Han, and determined the victory of Haixia in the future.

After recalling in his mind the geography of Xiayi and all the possible offensive directions that Liu Bi might choose. Righteousness raised its head. Tentatively asked, "Northwest?" ”

When Zhou Yafu heard this, he was shocked, stared at Yizong, and looked at him like a monster.

After a long time, Zhou Yafu asked, "How did the lieutenant know?" ”

This question is basically equivalent to admitting that Zhou Yafu also thinks that if the Wu army comes to attack. Then it will definitely attack from the northwest.

Yizong touched his head honestly, and said respectfully: "The last general is also uncertain." It's just that the last general has been taught by the family that 'if you are undecided, you will eliminate the unavailable choice, and then choose the best among them'! ”

"The thief army is coming from Suiyang, so naturally it can't attack from the north and south, and Changyi is in the east of Xiayi, it's even more impossible!" Yi Zong explained his train of thought: "In this way, the thief army can only march from the west, and the northwest direction of Xiayi is Luoyang, if it is broken from this march, it can go straight to Luoyang, at that time the rebels must be hungry and thirsty, people in a desperate situation, will definitely subconsciously choose a nearest road, is to the end of the general's opinion, the thief army will attack from the northwest of Xiayi!" ”

After a pause, Yi Zong was extremely sure, and said confidently: "It must be from the northwest!" ”

After listening to Yizong's answer, Zhou Yafu was stunned for a while, and after a long time, he said: "At home, it is really a divine gift!" ”

However, after two or three days of investigation and repeated research, he came to the conclusion that Wu Chu would definitely attack Xiayi from the northwest.

But I don't want to, Yizong is just based on a teaching of the prince, starting from human nature, and using a simple method of elimination to reach the same conclusion.

In this regard, Zhou Yafu has no other explanation than using heavenly endowment!

…………………………

Subsequently, the Wu-Chu coalition army really went crazy and stormed Suiyang.

But after a day of attack, the troops had to be withdrawn gloomily.

The high walls of Suiyang City are deep, and even if King Wu and Liu Bi personally beat the drums to help, they still can't be moved.

At this time, Liu Bi also had to change the direction of the operation.

Because food is running out.

Three days!

Within three days, Wu Chu's army had to open a road to the north.

Otherwise, this army will have no food and drink, and it will surely collapse!

Then, Liu Bi could only choose between withdrawing troops and advancing eastward.

Withdrawal of troops, for sure, is excluded.

Everyone is not stupid, and Liu Bi knows even more that the withdrawal of troops has been a harbinger of defeat since ancient times.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, retreating, once the enemy pursues, the rear of the palace and the sniper unit of their own side do not deal with it properly, and the end of the entire army will be wiped out immediately.

What's more, now that the Wu-Chu coalition army is panicked, and the back road is dead, at this time, Liu Bi is very clear that if he announces the withdrawal of the army on the front foot, the entire army on the back foot will collapse immediately, and everyone will start to flee.

Instead of that, it is better to go to the east and try your luck in front of Zhou Yafu's iron wall to make a last stand.

So, Liu Bi didn't think about it, so he made a decision - to change the route to Xiayi.

In Liu Bi's view, there are many benefits to choosing Xiayi.

First of all, he can use the story of Emperor Gao Liu Bang to boost morale, when Emperor Gao Pengcheng was defeated and almost faced extinction, it was in Xiayi that he re-emerged and laid the foundation for defeating Xiang Yu.

For Liu Bi, this is also a psychological comfort.

Secondly, the ditches and camps in the direction of Changyi are densely packed, and it is too many to count, for Liu Bi, going to Changyi is almost like going to death!

Moreover, Xiayi is the closest to Luoyang, as long as you can get through Guò Xiayi, you can go to Luoyang, Luoyang has an arsenal, there is Aocang, as long as you can occupy Luoyang, then it is not a loss!

The most important thing is that Liu Bi still has a life-saving straw in his heart.

Before raising the army, he had people contact Liu Sui, the king of Zhao, and let him get in touch with the Huns.

As long as the Hun soldiers break through, Yan and Zhao will rise together. Chang'an is attacked on the back of the abdomen, and this success or failure is between the two!

Therefore, the next morning, Liu Bi's army pulled out the camp. Only tens of thousands of people were left to monitor Suiyang, and the other two or three hundred thousand troops turned around and marched towards Xiayi.

………………………………………………

At this time, Chang'an had just received the news of Li Ji's surprise attack on Huaisikou.

As soon as this news arrived in Chang'an, the whole city immediately rejoiced.

In the eyes of many, Huai Si. The die is cast!

Liu Che also sees it this way.

Not everyone surnamed Liu is a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, like Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, Liu Bei, who keeps failing, constantly rising, constantly failing, and finally succeeds. That's a hero who only comes out once in hundreds of years.

Although Liu Bi is considered a character.

As soon as Huaisi is broken, his defeat is inevitable!

Even if Liu Che is not a traverser, he knows that Liu Bi has no hope of turning the tables.

The reason is very simple, Huaisi. Liu Bi's connection with his base state of Wu was cut off.

Hundreds of thousands of troops hung alone. There is no food or clothing, unless Liu Bi moves out of the system flow, becomes an apocalypse tank, or incarnates as a necromancer, otherwise, it is impossible to turn the tables!

The most important thing is that Liu Bi's troops came from a vast area south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan people have had a strict homesickness complex since ancient times.

His Majesty's position is embattled. Xiang Yu's army collapsed.

Although Liu Wei is very powerful, he is still inferior to Xiang Yu. Even Xiang Yu couldn't restrain the homesickness that the Chu people would inevitably appear after the defeat, and he was even more impossible.

Liu Che estimated that at this time, I am afraid that the backbone of the Wu army, up and down, will begin to miss their hometown.

Now that Liu Bi's defeat is doomed, Liu Che no longer pays attention to these things.

He's been very busy lately.

Not only did he have to manage farming and climbing technology, but he was also dragged by the emperor's father to be a strong man, and he studied the vassal policy after the Wu Chu Rebellion with the scholars of Shaofu Lantai.

What is it called crossing a river and demolishing a bridge?

What does it mean to turn your face and not recognize people?

Lao Liu's family fully interpreted these two sentences!

Before Liu Bi was conferred the title, when Liu Che was studying the policy of the vassal state with the scholars of Lantai, he had already begun to discuss how to weaken the authority of the princes and kings and prevent any more rebellions.

The policy is clear.

Just wait for King Wu's head to be sent to Chang'an, and defeat Yu Wei in a narrow way.

The scholars of Lantai put forward a number of restrictive policies, including but not limited to the fact that the princes and kings could no longer appoint officials above a thousand stones, and they could not appoint and control the county soldiers, except for the palace guards, and the military power of the other qiē was transferred to the central government.

These restrictions are relatively light compared to previous lives, the chains are not so tight, and they retain a lot of privileges that should have been revoked.

Since Liu Che was involved, naturally, he also took the opportunity to stuff some private goods into it.

For example, the full implementation of the Grace Decree and so on.

These constructions, the Lantai scholars naturally did not dare to object, so they were also written into the recital to the Son of Heaven.

At this moment, Liu Che was walking in the corridor of Changle Palace.

After the news of Liji's capture of Huaisikou reached Chang'an, the tense atmosphere in the entire Guanzhong was suddenly swept away.

Singing and dancing banquets were also resumed in the court.

This time when he came to Changle Palace, Liu Che came at the behest of Empress Dowager Dou.

According to the old queen mother, the prince has been established for almost half a year, and it is time to recruit beautiful girls, enrich the harem, open branches for the Liu family as soon as possible, and give birth to a dragon grandson.

This is also Liu Che's natural power as a prince!

In fact, Liu Che is also looking forward to giving birth to a son and a half daughter as soon as possible.

A prince without an heir is not a complete prince!

In the previous life, the little pig was unable to give birth to a son, and I don't know how many people were in a hurry, and how many princes and kings were ready to move.

It's just a pity that whether it's Yiwu or Xinna's royal sister, her stomach hasn't moved all the time.

This made Liu Che feel a little drumming in his heart.

Since it is not possible to concentrate firepower, it can only rely on fraternity.

Under the guidance of the eunuchs, Liu Che came to the Changxin Palace, at this time, the crowd in the hall was moving, and countless ministers and nobles, well-dressed, were all in the ranks.

As soon as these people saw Liu Che, they immediately looked like hungry wolves, their eyes lit up, and they almost wanted to run over immediately and hug their thighs with courtesy.

Everyone thinks that their daughter can be selected by the crown prince, and from then on she will be ranked in the harem and become a relative of the emperor.

But Liu Che knew that none of these nobles, especially the women of the Chehou family, could be elected.

The Han family, although there is no rule like the Ming Dynasty, that the concubine cannot be a noble relative, but it also has similar unspoken rules.

Look at the history books, among the favorite concubines of the emperors of the Han family in the past dynasties, in addition to their relatives, there are the daughters of the Marquis of Che?

The answer is five fingers!

Liu Che naturally knows this unspoken rule, in fact, the emperor's father has also told him, except for the minister, he can take a fancy to anyone!

is different from what most people think, although the prince of the Han family has no say in the concubine, but outside the concubine, he has great autonomy.

For example, the Book of Han recorded the story of Liu Wu personally referring to the concubine.

Moreover, the choice of concubines for the prince of the Han family is actually a concubine selection full of entertainment.

It's basically a bit like a beauty pageant in later generations.

Rows of girls dressed up and standing in a row, each showing their strengths, doing their best to please the prince, and then the prince saw who was pleasing to the eye, so he pointed at it, and the girl was promoted!

Even, the range of show girls in the Han family's prince draft is quite extensive.

Basically, the old Liu family is not taboo.

Lori is good, sister is a royal sister, and a wife has to do it!

There is everything among the show girls!

Liu Che walked into the Changxin Palace, and the ministers in the room hurriedly got up to greet him.

Liu Che also returned the salute one by one, and then was taken by a eunuch to sit under the seat of the Empress Dowager Luan.

After waiting for a while, Empress Dowager Dou walked from the apse into the Changxin Hall surrounded by Queen Bo.

Liu Che and the ministers hurriedly got up to greet them.

"Grandson greets the imperial grandmother!" Liu Che recently entrusted Chen Ajiao's blessing, and his status in front of the Empress Dowager Dou has risen, and he has become the new heart and liver baby of the Empress Dowager Dou after Guan Tao and Chen Ajiao.

Therefore, as soon as she heard Liu Che's voice, the Empress Dowager Dou laughed and said, "The prince sits beside the mourning family!" ”

Liu Che was naturally interested, and hurriedly got up, helped the Empress Dowager Dou, and sat on the seat.

After Empress Dowager Dou sat down, she smiled and said: "Today, the prince wants to choose a few more beauties, leave the emperor's great-grandson for the mourning family as soon as possible, and spread the branches for my Han family!" ”

Liu Che naturally hurriedly said: "No! (To be continued......)
