It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 273 Do you want me to die?

Da He Lu was confused and lost his mind. He repeatedly tried to clear his thoughts, but he was helpless and could only lie down again in melancholy.

Lying on the couch, Da Helu still couldn't figure out what was going on with this inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Currently, what I am most worried about is Xiangyang City.

Secondly, there is the third son, Dahe Chucai, who has gone somewhere.

This Dahe Chucai is the Qilin'er of the Dahe tribe. He is a genius. Rather than worrying about it, it is more about caring about what earth-shattering things he will do, so there is no need to mention it.

And this Xiangyang City is impregnable and has been held firmly for a year, longer than he expected.

Judging from the current city defense and the dispatch of troops from Puqian, it will not be a problem to delay for a few more years.

Da He Lu calculated that he was one year older than last year and was already seventy-seven.

This is already a rare longevity in the world today.

He even felt that he should be the first to die between himself and Xiangyang City.

Looking back on his life, Da Helu felt that it was quite magnificent.

In his early years, he followed King Khan to fight everywhere, and became one of the few Donghu people who was extremely popular among the Han people.

Even when the Han army arrived in Jingzhou, there was not much turmoil among the Han people in Xiangyang City.

Although he has been serving as the governor of Xiangyang County, he has not been able to rise further.

But behind him, the Oga tribe has grown from a small tribe to a quite prestigious tribe.

Among the Shi Zhouhe tribe, it has unlimited potential.

The three sons are all talented. The eldest is in Chengdu and is highly regarded by the king.

The second child follows him, he has some talent in craftsmanship, and he does things smoothly.

The third oldest brother, Dahe Chucai, is also Qilin'er of Dahe tribe, a genius of heaven.

Not only did he stop the Khan from massacring the city and save the lives of Xiangyang soldiers and civilians, but now the city of Xiangyang can be defended because of his contribution.

Had it not been for Dahe Chucai's plan to seize the counties in the north of Jing and bring the Pu Qianbu into the situation, and also use the strategy of recruiting peace to help the Pu Qianbu pacify the rebel army and contain the Han emperor.

Xiangyang City is afraid that it will soon be attacked by the Han Emperor.

Da He Lu thought to himself that he didn't have much confidence in facing that kind of person.

But now?

The city of Xiangyang was impregnable, and the Khan of the Shizhou Huo tribe generously rewarded him. Everyone in the tribe was also very impressed, and it became the only support of the entire Shi Zhou Huo tribe in Jingzhou.

Coupled with the heroic achievements in the early years.

Even if your life ends at this time, you can still go down in the history books, right?

However, just when he thought of this, Da Helu suddenly discovered a problem.

After He Chucai, the third eldest brother, asked Pu Qianbu to join the game and proposed the alliance of the three tribes, he later made local arrangements for Xiangyang City.

One is to find the right opportunity to send a blood letter to the Han army, allowing Xiangyang City to advance and retreat more freely, while continuously delaying the Han army's offensive.

Second, Zhou Fangyuan was used as a general to deal with the Han army and harass the rear.

The third is to persuade Xiu Tu Bi to return to Shi Zhou's tribe.

In fact, he failed to do these three things.

Although the blood letter was written at a huge cost and the energy and blood were weak for a long time, I never found a chance to send it out.

Although Zhou Fangyuan was indeed harassing the Han army from behind, the chess match he played with Li Jingji was like meeting an opponent and meeting a good talent.

Apart from the coming and going, it really had no impact on the Han army's supply line.

It looks like two people are brushing up on each other's records, and they have a tacit understanding.

This Li Jingji is really promising. He not only captured Jiangling, but also made generals like Zhou Fangyuan helpless.

As for persuading Xiu to kill Bi.
This is what Da He Lu has been doing, but Xiu Tu Bi's attitude was very ambiguous and he never gave an accurate answer.

Although he seemed to be a bit ostracized among the Han army, he was doing well and there was no news for a long time.

However, by now, Xiangyang's various fortifications have been repaired, and catapults are still available to help.

Thinking about these things is too much.

After all, plans can't keep up with changes.

When Dahe Chucai made these three arrangements, he would never have expected that the Han Emperor would go to Runan in person and ignore Xiangyang City.

Da Helu could only sigh that the Han Emperor had such courage and courage to enter Runan alone, and actually let him accomplish things.

It can only be said that fortunately the Han Emperor went to Runan County and attacked Runan City!
"Father!"

A shout suddenly sounded outside the house, which made Da He Lu startled.

He was relieved when he saw the second oldest brother, Dahe Mumu, who had been following him, walking towards him holding a Kun candle.

Da Helu glanced under the pillow. Under the pillow was the saber that had accompanied him in battles for many years.

I was still slacking off. Last year when the battle was about to begin, I would have drawn the knife immediately, but today I didn’t react:

"Why are you here?"

Dahe Mumu's face was expressionless, and his gloomy face illuminated by the candle seemed a bit visceral:

"Father, I heard something moving in the room over here, so I came to investigate."

Da He Lu nodded, as long as it wasn't anything important.

The sudden awakening just now really made him feel a little uneasy, as he was afraid of something unexpected happening:
"It's okay, my son, don't worry."

"Yes."

Dahe Timber held up the candle and heard that nothing happened, so he responded in a low voice and started to leave quietly.

"What time is it?"

Da Helu looked at his son's back, a little lost in thought. Perhaps he felt more at ease with someone around him, so he couldn't help but call out.

"It's halfway through the ugly time."

Dahe Timber seemed to have guessed what his old father was thinking, and whispered again:

"Father, there is nothing wrong in the city. There is no need to worry. My son has improved the catapults. Even if the Han army attacks the city, with the power of these catapults, they can at least hold on until the end of the year."

Da He Lu was slightly startled. Is his concern so obvious?
"I can't relax. These days, my father always feels like something is on his mind."

"You first get a basin of water from my father."

Da He Mu quickly went out and brought a basin of hot water and handed over a handkerchief.

Da Helu directly dipped his head into the basin and soaked it for a few breaths before raising his head and causing a splash of water.

While wiping, I sighed, but the uneasy feeling in my heart seemed to be getting better.

Dahe Timber looked at his father, whose behavior was really not quite right, and couldn't help but ask:

"Father, why is this?"

"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty crossed the Feishui River."

Da Helu put the scarf on his face and breathed in the remaining heat inside. He didn't move his hand for a long time, and his voice was a little blurry:

"Jingzhou is in danger!"

After hearing this, Dahe Timber looked hesitant and seemed hesitant to speak.

"It is said that a father knows his son better than his father. A father knows what you are thinking."

Da He Lu still didn’t put down his kerchief. Although he couldn’t see Da He Mu’s expression, he knew it well:

"Do you think that by defending the city for your father, your third brother's strategies, and your stone-throwing cannon, even if Xinye and Wancheng fell, Xiangyang City would be safe and sound. Even if the Han Emperor came in person, it would still be safe. At a loss what to do?"

Dahe Timber was stunned, nodded and said:

"Is not it?"

"My third brother also said earlier that Liu Pheasant is not a tiger or a wolf, so what should he be afraid of?"

"Although it is said that it started from a city and was invincible, it only lasted four years. Most of the victories relied on personal bravery, ingenious strategies, and the right time and place."

Da Helu shook his head and chuckled, put down the kerchief, and threw it into the basin:

"Is that not enough?"

"If a man is brave, he can be called a fierce general. If he has ingenious plans, he can be called a wise general. He has both. He has the right time and place, and he is popular. Isn't that enough?" Dahe Timber was speechless for a moment. .

It seems so.

Even if Xiangyang City can be defended for months or even years.

But what about a few years later?

But what about waiting until the old father dies?

This Xiangyang City will eventually be defeated one day.

When the time comes, where should he go?
wrong
Dahe Timber suddenly thought of something and said quickly:
"Pu Qian Yonggu, the Khan of Pu Qianbu, led a large army to conquer Jingzhou. There were hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line. Could it be that he was still no match for the tens of thousands of Han troops?"

Da Helu shook his head.

It's not that he doesn't have confidence in Pu Qianbu's army, but that he really has no choice.

If the Han Emperor is still in Runan County, with an army of hundreds of thousands, coupled with the Khan's personal expedition, and the Shi Zhouhe tribe in Jingzhou garrisoning troops and horses, besieging the main force of the Han army from two sides, there is a high possibility that it can be destroyed in one battle.

When the time comes, it will be difficult for Liu Pheasant to make a living without rice.

But now that it has entered Jingzhou, these hundreds of thousands of troops are actually nothing.

If you stick to it, you may be able to set up defenses along the Feishui River and defend for a while.

To talk about offense
not enough.

According to Da Helu's thinking, he must have at least 30 to [-] troops to pose a certain threat to the Han army with Liu Fei'er in charge.

Moreover, this threat is not a frontal threat. We have to rely on more soldiers and generals to divide the battlefield and win on the side battlefield.

Da He Lu asked Da He Mu to sit beside him, then called his confidants and asked:

"How about the city defense?"

The confidant knelt down and replied:

"General, the city's defenses are stable and everything is safe. It's just that our army's scouting horses outside the city saw the Han army's spies. Our army's horses were fast and we only had time to capture two people."

"A spy from the Han army?"

Da Helu couldn't help but frown.

For nearly a year, the Han army has been indifferent to Xiangyang City.

You play with yours and I play with mine.

No matter how Dahelu stabilized the city defense, the Han army was concentrating on conquering other counties in northern Jingbei.

Moreover, Dahelu never sent troops out of the city and was determined to defend it, so the Han army could not detect anything.

Therefore, there are only a few spies.

Why did we find a team today?
Could it be that he wants to take action against Xiangyang?
Da Helu was puzzled:
"It shouldn't be. Logically speaking, places like Xinye and Wancheng are easier to attack and more strategic."

"Xiangyang is already an isolated city and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Since there is Pu Qian's army on the east bank of the Feishui River, it should not be the main goal of the Han army."

Dahe Lu glanced at Dahe Timber and saw only Dahe Timber, but he didn't know why.

Da Helu sighed. The second child really couldn't compare with the third child, but this was normal. After all, he didn't have a clue now. He was not a good father, and he couldn't ask his son to do anything.

He continued to ask:

"Were those two Han army spies captured alive?"

The confidant said:

"Of course, everything is settled well."

Da He Lu nodded:
"Stay well, don't hurt your life, and be sure to ask something out of their mouths."

Da He Lu had no use for such things as killing people and establishing authority, and at the same time he was vaguely looking for a way out for himself.

Since Xiangyang City is surrounded by water on three sides and is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is destined that once the army is defeated and the city is broken, they will not even have a place to escape.

Xiangyang's closed-door approach to the law is solid, but in terms of information and intelligence, it's really solid.

If some of the movements of the Han army could be found out from these two Han army spies, Da Helu also felt that he could feel more at ease.
-
Let’s not talk about Dahe’s shoes for now.

At this time, Liu Ke had brought two thousand soldiers and horses to the vicinity of Xiangyang City.

There are two more generals in the army than before.

One is the human shield Yuan Fu who came here after receiving the news and wearing out two pairs of straw sandals day and night.

The other one is Xiutu Bi, a general from Donghu who was marginalized by the army because of his bad speaking.

Xiutu Bi had just arrived and couldn't run as fast as Yuan Fu's iron feet.

When he saw Liu Ke, he immediately knelt down, kowtowed to the ground and said:

"The general pays homage to your majesty. If your majesty is interested in Xiangyang City, let the general lead his army to attack the city!"

In the past year, he was almost exhausted.

Even though the emperor gave him the position of vanguard before leaving, he had very few military exploits and could not convince the public or prove his ability.

Then, because the war in Jingzhou became anxious, the main battlefield was moved to Yue Shaoqian's and Yao Chang's headquarters in the Tuishui area. Neither the Han army nor the Donghu people dared to mobilize troops easily, and there was no chance of meritorious service at all.

Coupled with the fact that he talks nonsense, he is even more unlikable.

Hou Junyan was probably the only one in the army, and he had some sympathy with him. He didn't even have many friends. The Donghu people who had defected to the Han together in Jiangling, few of them were willing to get close to him if it weren't for joining the group to keep warm.

What's more, Da He Lu frequently sent him secret glances, hoping to get him to return to Shi Zhouhe's tribe.

Under such a big environment, Xiu Tu Bi was a little worried about himself. If he couldn't control himself, he would throw himself back.

That is the way to die!

Liu Ke smiled secretly in his heart when he saw Xiu Tu Bi asking for a fight.

He admired Xiu Tu Bi very much. A solitary minister who did not form cliques would definitely be liked, let alone a capable solitary minister.

92's command is already impressive. He can use both force and intelligence. Moreover, he is a rare general who understands water warfare. He can be said to be very versatile.

As a result, Liu Ke first spoke to comfort him:
"Don't panic, General Xiutu. Since I specially called you here, you must be put to good use."

Xiu Tu Bi quickly cupped his fists and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Ke continued:
"I heard that Da Helu has been persuading you to return to the Shi Zhouhe tribe. Is this happening?"

"Have!"

Xiutu Bi was an outspoken person, and he usually spoke awkwardly because he didn't know how to turn around. When Liu Ke asked, he didn't hide anything and said one by one:

"Since your Majesty went to Runan County, Da He Lu has repeatedly sent people to deliver secret messages."

"When I received the secret letter, I handed it over to Mr. Xue immediately. Mr. Xue asked me not to express my position until His Majesty returns, and then deal with it."

"So the general has been secretly exchanging letters with Da He Lu, and from time to time he has obtained some information about Xiangyang City, without alerting the enemy."

"The general has never betrayed the imperial court!"

Liu Ke nodded, personally stepped forward to help Xiutu Bi up, and began to lie directly:
"General Xiutu has a sincere heart, I can certainly trust him."

Xiutu Bi hurriedly said:

"All correspondence will be brought to you at the end, and your Majesty can check it at any time!"

Liu Ke shook his head again:
"No, you don't need to be suspicious of people you use. I just want to ask you one question."

"I want to attack Xiangyang, and I will take you as my general. Do you dare or not?"

Xiutu Bi was stunned. Although he did ask for a fight, wasn't it too sudden?
Not to mention what the situation is in Xiangyang City, he has no idea at all.

Even if he has no idea how many soldiers and horses he has, how many days of food and grass can be supplied, or whether he has enough siege equipment!
Are we going to attack Xiangyang, a fortified city that is rare in the world? ?
Xiutu Bi felt timid for a moment. He just spoke directly and was not a fool. He couldn't help but ask one more question:
"May I ask how many troops and horses your Majesty is willing to give to the last general?"

If there are 3 people, he can try to attack Xiangyang and find out the situation in Xiangyang first.

If there are 5 people, he can really prepare to attack Xiangyang. Not to say that he can win it firmly, at least he can have some back and forth.

If there are 10 people, then he can guarantee to capture Xiangyang, but he still has no idea how many years it will take.

"one thousand."
