Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 545 Bing Fa Chen Liu (4000)

On the surface, it said not to harass the people, but in fact it implied that the aristocratic families in the city should not be robbed.

This group of aristocratic families is very selfish. Of course, it is also possible that they want to trick themselves into the city, but this possibility is not high. I have a system, and I can directly see that several of them are indeed the heads of the aristocratic families in the city.

In order to feign surrender, using one's body as a bait, such a sacrifice of one's life for righteousness is not like the style of aristocratic family, but one has to guard against it.

Liu Dedao: "Get up! As the heads of various families, you hold important positions in the city, do you know Li Yun's military deployment?"

Liu De changed the subject.

The leader kneeling on the ground trembled and said: "Don't dare to lie to Your Highness, before that, there were more than ten thousand soldiers stationed in Xinmi County, but afterward Chen Liu sent a military order to transfer all the soldiers and horses away, and only a few old men were left in the city. Weak, sick and disabled, with no more than a thousand soldiers, how can we resist the king's division, so we decided to surrender in Kaesong."

"Do you know why all the soldiers and horses were transferred away? Except for your county, what about the other counties?"

The man said: "To put it bluntly, it is to defend Chenliu's defense, and the other counties must be doing the same."

Liu De frowned slightly. It was obvious that Li Yun's coquettish operation, with Liu De's IQ, he didn't understand, or did he think too much?

Chen Qi cupped her hands aside and said, "His Royal Highness, maybe, what Li Yun thinks is the same as that of the puppet emperor Yang Tianlong. He wants to fight us to the death in Chenliu City."

Liu De nodded, noncommittal, he always felt that it was not that simple.

Liu De waved his hand and asked people to take this group of aristocratic families down, and sent troops into the city, moved all the money and food to the barracks, so as not to disturb the people, and appointed the leader just now to serve as the prefect temporarily.

It can be said that apart from the lack of money and food in the city, the people may be a little scared, and there is not much difference from before.

No, there are still some. The banner at the top of the city has been replaced by a Chinese character banner from a Wei character flag.

Liu De asked everyone, "Let's see what this Duke Wei wants to do?"

Gao Huaide came out and said: "Your Highness, maybe Li Yun wants to disperse our troops so that we can attack them one by one."

"Your Highness!"

Du Ruhui said: "I think that if you abandon other territories and stick to Chenliu, you will only see the disadvantages, but not the slightest advantage. We only need to cut off the grain roads of Chenliu from the rear. Millions of people, 10,000 +Soldiers and horsemen eat horses, how can Chen Liu hold on? And Li Yun is a generation of heroes who stand side by side with His Highness, it is absolutely impossible for him to be so short-sighted, there must be something strange in it."

"It's not easy to find an ambush in Ma Pingchuan in Danzhou. If an ambush is to be done, isn't it also impossible?"

Liu Renshan said from the side.

Liu De suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Su Can is still being imprisoned in Beiping, who is Li Yun's adviser now? I remember it was called Xun"

Dai Zong replied: "Your Highness, this man's name is Xun Da, and he ranks fifth in the top ten advisors!"

"Yes, it's him. Xun Qing once told Gu that this Xun Da is a member of the Xun clan, and he is Xun Yu's eldest brother. He is quite talented and is called the dragon of the Xun clan by the elders of the clan."

At this time, Xun You could only say: "Your Highness, it is true. At the beginning, the eldest brother traveled all over the world and lost contact with the family. Later, he learned that he was actually an official under Wei Gong Li Yun."

"This guy knew it a long time ago, so how could he blame you, but since Xun Da is a member of your Xun family, you must know his abilities, and gathering soldiers and horses to Chenliu must be Xun Da's plan. It's Li Yun, he must lead the army to confront Gu, in that case, it would be better, and he won't be so confused now."

What Liu De said might be that his mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the teacup and prepared to drink some hot tea.

Peng Yue asked at this time: "Then Li Yun is not defending in the east or west? Impossible, after all, Jinzhou is so big, if we retreat, will Wei Guo really have no danger to defend?"

"East, West"

The teacup held by Liu De's mouth suddenly stopped, and Du Ruhui and Xun You came out almost at the same time.

"Your Highness! Immediately pass the order to Huo Dudu, General Ma, General Li and General Sun, be careful to ambush!"

"Your Highness, you should immediately send scouts to check on Chen Liu's military developments. The 10,000+ army will definitely leave clues."

Liu De kept pointing his finger at the table, apparently thinking about the problem. Sun Zhongjin only had 5000 men, so it was not worthwhile to use a large number of troops to encircle and suppress Sun Zhongjin. Moreover, Sun Zhongjin had a boat, so even if he was defeated, he could still escape by boat. .

The ambush of Sun Zhongjin basically did not have much impact on the overall situation.

Therefore, Sun Zhongjin's army can be ruled out.

Ma Teng and Li Dingguo have 1 soldiers and horses on this route, but they are basically cavalry. It will definitely take a lot of energy to encircle them, and they may not be able to catch them.

There are 2 people on Huo Qubing's road, both on foot and on horseback, and the road in northern Jinzhou that Huo Qubing attacked is rough and difficult, with many passes. In terms of time, it is much easier to mobilize an army to ambush Huo Qubing than Ma Teng.

Huo Qubing's status was very high. Apart from Liu De, Huo Qubing's status in the army was second only to Zhang Tianlang, Bai Qi, and Guan Yu, ranking fourth, even higher than Liu Gui and Yannan.

Defeating Huo Qubing can greatly reduce the morale of the Han army, so that Luanzhou will no longer have any troops to stop it, so it can go straight to attack Beiping! ! !
"boom!"

Liu De complained, "Li Yun's target is Huo Qubing!"

Suddenly he turned his head and said to Dai Zong: "Dai Zong, you go there yourself and send a message to Huo Qubing, asking him to be careful in ambush!"

"The minister takes orders!"

Liu De spread out the map and said to Dai Zong, "Looking at the time, Qu Bing should have arrived here!"

Liu De pointed to a place in Jinzhou, "You try to deliver the letter, if you fail, you can only see your own."

"I understand!"

Dai Zong nodded and went down to prepare to set off.

Liu De then waved his hand and ordered: "Li Yun shrinks his troops and strengthens the defense line. He wants to hold back our army and give Jinzhou soldiers a chance. Let's see if it's him, Li Yunkuai, or Gukuai." ! The army is assembled, and the soldiers are sent out!"

"Yes!"

All the generals shouted in unison.

During the march of the army, Liu De received two more news. One was that Sun Zhongjin led troops to attack Danzhou. Danzhou was almost unprepared, and there were basically not many soldiers in the city. The state stood its ground.

Liu De wrote back and ordered Sun Zhongjin to control the coastal ports of Danzhou, gather ships, and confiscate household registration, land, and documents in various counties.

Another piece of news is about Xu Hai, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. This disciple of the Mohist school served under Liu De when he was in Dongyu. He was present in almost every battle.

Because of the inspection of the construction of the Zijin Pavilion, it was freezing cold, and he could not afford to get sick after suffering from the wind and cold. Although Hua Tuo and An Daoquan worked hard to diagnose and treat him, Xu Hai's lifespan was exhausted, and the two famous doctors were helpless. After struggling for a few days, Xu Hai passed away.

The death of Xu Hai made Liu De feel quite heavy, so Liu De issued an imperial edict: "Xu Hai has been alone for several years, devoted himself to his duties, restrained himself and served his duties, and now he is suffering from a sudden illness, and his heart is hard to calm down. Doctors, Tinghou of Weicheng, and hundreds of officials appraised Mr. Xu's achievements, bestowed posthumous titles on him, entered Zijin Pavilion, and paid homage to future generations!"

"His eldest son, Xu Gongsi, is the Marquis of Guannei."

"The second son, Xu Gongqi, is the captain of Yihui (Zheng Qipin)."

"His third son, Xu Gongche, is (from the seventh rank) Xuan Yilang."

(ps: Before this, Xu Hai’s three sons, the eldest son Xu Gongsi served as a sixth-rank officer in the Ministry of Industry. Fuya served as the secretary of the eighth rank, while Yihui Xiaowei and Xuan Yilang were both civil and military officials, which was equivalent to raising their official salaries by one level.)
All civil and military officials from the third rank to the top will enter the Zijin Pavilion and posthumous titles, while those who have not reached the third rank must be awarded by the monarch if they have contributed to the community.

As for the title, according to the principle, it is lowered by one level and inherited by the eldest son, but before Xu Hai's title was Guanneihou, which was the lowest title, and there would be no title if he was lowered one level, but Liu De felt Xu Hai's merit, so let Xu Hai He has inherited his title.

Of course, if Xu Gongsi passed away without making any contribution, the title of Marquis of Guannei would also be withdrawn, unless Liu De still remembered Xu Hai's achievements and continued to let his heirs inherit the title.

Later, the civil and military officials in Beiping appraised Xu Hai's achievements and bestowed him with the posthumous title of "An". According to historical records: Xu Hai, Marquis of An in Weicheng.

Jinzhou, Shangshuo.

"Captain, the convenience ahead is Shangshuo Pass!"

Yu Jin pointed to the dangerous pass ahead and said to Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing said: "Shangshuo firmly guards the main road, surrounded by the tributaries of the big river, and relying on its dangerous terrain, to guard this place. I was blocked by the enemy generals and could not advance here. Do you have a way to remove this pass?"

Yue Jin cupped his hands and said: "Captain, please give the general a soldier, and the general is willing to win this pass for the commander!"

"General Yue's ability to ascend first is praised by His Highness, so I will allow you three thousand troops to try the defense strength of this level first?" Huo Qubing said.

"The last general takes orders!"

Le Jin was overjoyed, and left the tent with his sword.

It's not that Huo Qubing didn't want to give Le Jin more soldiers and horses. Shangshuo relied on mountains and rivers, and the terrain was narrow, so it could only sustain an attack of [-] soldiers and horses.

Chen Tang pouted at the side, obviously not optimistic about Le Jin's attack, and continued to stare at the map.

Huo Qubing gave instructions, "Bode, urge the craftsmen to build the catapult quickly, otherwise the loss will be too heavy if we only rely on manpower."

"The last general takes orders!"

Lu Bode also nodded and went out.

Wei Yan said at this time: "Commander, Your Highness ordered us to attack the northern part of Jinzhou. General Ma and General Li attacked the western part of Jinzhou. We have a dangerous pass to stop us. They don't have such a pass to stop them. Ten thousand cavalry come and go like the wind!"

"What are you trying to say?"

Huo Qubing picked up the Cuju that was on the ground with a flick of his toe, and bounced the Cuju back and forth in the big tent.

The generals have long since realized the strangeness, Wei Yan stepped forward and said: "Captain, we must not let Ma Teng and Li Dingguo, the two later generals, steal the limelight!"

"Of course we can't let them take our credit!"

Huo Qubing kicked Cuju into the air, then volleyed towards the tent door, Cuju flew out of the tent in a whirl, and flew to nowhere, Huo Qubing's personal guards quickly chased in the direction Cuju was flying to. If he can't find it back, the governor will scold him again.

Huo Qubing clapped his hands, and said nonchalantly: "Your Highness regards us as partial teachers, and the main goal is to harass Jinzhou, but I want to take down the entire Jinzhou, and then ask Your Highness for credit!"

"The last general also means the same thing!"

Wei Yan said quickly.

Huo Qubing folded his hands on his chest, at this moment the sound of fighting could be heard in his ears, Huo Qubing stood outside the tent door, looked at the faint figure in the distance, pointed and said: "Then we must take down this gate first! "

Wei Yan stepped forward at this time, revealing a suggestion that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "The general thought that we can take a shortcut from the small path and go directly to the back of Shangshuo. As long as the grain road of Shangshuo is broken, Shangshuo will be destroyed by itself , instead of trying to attack this fortified city here, even if you rely on catapults, it will take at least several months to take this city, and the day lily will be cold by then."

"What do you think?"

Huo Qubing suddenly turned his head and asked the other generals.

Yu Jin objected: "The final general does not approve of General Wei's strategy. This strategy is too risky, and we are only biased. There are only 2 troops. General Wei will take as many soldiers and horses as he wants to take to the sidewalk. Let the Shangshuo army find out. When the time comes, our army will be defeated! Please think twice!"

"Po Nu, Chen Tang, what's your opinion?"

Zhao Puonu cupped his hands and said: "The final general will be at the command of the governor! Whatever the commander orders, the last general will do!"

Huo Qubing suddenly laughed.

But Chen Tang said: "General Wei agrees with the plan, otherwise it would be too worthless for us to waste here!"

Chen Tang continued to add: "Although what General Yu said makes sense, the last general does not agree with it. It is a military emergency. If we stay in this stalemate and miss His Highness's important matter, it will be a big deal, and there is no need for two Tens of thousands of soldiers, not five thousand. Three thousand, by bypassing the trail, you can cut off the Shangshuo grain road, or even surround the point to fight for reinforcements, and destroy the reinforcements that come to help! All the soldiers and horses in Jinzhou will be dragged down by our right army governor's mansion , so that His Highness can see our achievements!"

"Okay! General Chen is right! That's what I mean!"

Wei Yan gave Chen Tang a drink.

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Huo Qubing, the young governor.

News has come from Beiping that Huo Qubing is going to marry Hangong Liu De's younger sister Liu Jia, and Huo Qubing's aunt Wei Zifu is also married to the Hangong's mansion, this status alone is enough for Huo Qubing to walk across the entire Han Dynasty .

What's more, Huo Qubing won many battles and even traveled thousands of miles into the desert.

No matter how everyone puts forward their opinions, the final decision rests in Huo Qubing's hands.

"Yu Jin, Lu Bode, and Le Jin were bluffing here, building more flags, erecting more tents, and making noise outside the pass to confuse the enemy. However, the governor of the capital personally led [-] cavalry to lead Wei Yan, Zhao Puonu, and Chen Huan. Tang San will take a small path and cut off the Shuoliang Road."

Huo Qubing gave the order firmly.
