- "Go straight to Luoyang!?" Jiang Qin and Zhu Huan exclaimed in unison, with surprise on their faces.
¡°That¡¯s right, we¡¯re going straight to Luoyang.¡± A sly smile appeared at the corner of Yan Liang¡¯s mouth.
The ship entered the Yellow River and captured Luoyang by water. This was Yan Liang's plan.
Didn't Yingtian's advisers analyze that the route to attack Taigu Pass from Luyang and advance to Luoyang was single and extremely difficult.
And when attacking Luoyang from Yanzhou, you have to pass through no man's land, and you have to capture the important town of Xingyang, which Liu Bei defended against the river. The difficulty is also not ordinary.
"Well, I, Yan Liang, will find another way, enter the Yellow River from Qingzhou, cross Liu Bei's defense area from the waterway, land in Henan County from the north, and capture Luoyang City.
"Compared with his original expedition to the Bohai Sea to capture Liaodong, Yan Liang's plan to attack Luoyang via the Yellow River was actually quite "conservative".
With the convenience of waterways, his more than 100,000 Chu troops did not need to worry about logistical difficulties.
Furthermore, Liu Bei did not have a naval force, so Yan Liang's fleet could occupy the Yellow River at will without worrying about the threat from the Yan army.
After the initial shock, Jiang Qin and Zhu Huan soon understood the essence of Yan Liang's plan, and expressions of surprise and admiration appeared on their faces.
"The king had a plan to attack Liaodong by sea, and now he has a plan to attack Luoyang via the Yellow River. These fantastic ideas are truly beyond the reach of other people, and I am ashamed of myself."
Jiang Qin and others were in agitated mood and expressed their admiration for Yan Liang without sparing words.
Yan Liang laughed, his laughter full of arrogance, and said sarcastically: "Our army will be ready tomorrow, and I want to give Prime Minister Cao a huge surprise."
The next day, at dawn, the war drums of Weishan Port shook the sky, and murderous intent was like a tide.
Nearly a thousand large and small warships, with cloud tents hung high and battle flags flying, filed out of the port and headed west along the coastline of Donglai County.
A few days later, Yan Liang's huge fleet entered the waters of Le'an County, and entered the Yellow River estuary near Liaocheng County, headed westward, and sailed into the Yellow River.
Not long after the Chu fleet entered the river, the Yan army, which was closely monitoring the coast, flew north and headed to Yecheng to report to Liu Bei.
¡¡
Yecheng, Prince Yan¡¯s Mansion.
In the palace, there was singing and dancing, the smell of wine was flowing, and there was an atmosphere of enjoyment.
Liu Bei was sitting high on the throne, enjoying the singing and dancing in front of the hall with great interest, while his wife Liu was at his side, smiling charmingly and offering wine, showing her utmost tenderness.
Since Xuzhou fell and Yecheng was defeated, Liu Bei's ambitions seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. Most of the time, Liu Bei could only drink to drown his sorrows.
After Zhuge Liang's strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country was implemented, Liu Bei believed that the vast no-man's land in the Central Plains and his many fortresses along the Yellow River were enough to block Yan Liang's troops and save half of Hebei.
Liu Bei, who turned from defense to offense, thought that Yan Liang's threat was greatly reduced, so he relaxed his vigilance and finally immersed himself in wine and sex to seek solace.
Thinking that Liu Bei spent half of his life in the army, he spent half of his life in wandering, and rarely enjoyed the glory and wealth. Now that he saw the hope of taking over the world, Yan Liang was frustrated again and again, and Liu Bei gradually relaxed his ambition and began to enjoy life.
And the Liu family is very charming. Although she is Yuan Shao's second wife, she is very popular with Liu Bei and has won thousands of favors.
"Fine wine and beautiful women, this is life." Liu Bei sighed with a smile after drinking a glass of wine.
"Your Majesty's words make sense. I would like to offer you another glass of wine." Mrs. Liu smiled brightly and offered another glass of wine.
Liu Bei was drinking heavily. Outside the hall, Zhao Yun, the leader of the army, entered the hall.
Seeing the peaceful singing, dancing, and extravagant drinking and entertainment, Zhao Yun couldn't help but frown secretly.
Liu Bei saw Zhao Yun coming in, but he smiled and said: "Zilong is here just in time. Come and have a few drinks with me. Come on, why don't you give General Zilong some wine?"
Looking at Liu Bei's drunken appearance, a hint of disappointment quietly passed over Zhao Yun's face.
He hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth secretly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have a few words, I don't know whether I should say them or not."
"If Zilong has anything to say, just say it." Liu Bei couldn't see Zhao Yun's expression and said casually.
Zhao Yun took a deep breath, raised his hands and said solemnly: "Today the world is not at peace, with Yan Liang in the south eying him, and Cao Cao in the west causing trouble for the court. I think that the king should cheer up, plan day and night to wipe out the enemies, and help the Han Dynasty. Don¡¯t be too obsessed with wine and sex.¡±
As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei's face, which was originally red, turned dark.down.
Zhao Yun's advice deeply hurt Liu Bei and caused anger to rise in his heart.
And in the sentence "obsessed with wine and sex", one of the words "sex" naturally refers to the Liu family around Liu Bei.
How could Mrs. Liu not be able to tell how smart she was? A trace of anger instantly flashed across her watery eyes.
"General Zhao's words are too much. Your Majesty has been working hard on state affairs all day long. In your free time, you can enjoy dancing and music to relieve your fatigue. This is a matter of course. How come General Zhao said it as if your Majesty does not care about political affairs? Just trying to have fun.¡±
Mrs. Liu was sharp-tongued and dismissed Zhao Yun in a few words.
Liu Bei deeply believed this, so he said with a sullen face, "What Ai Ji said is absolutely true. Zilong, what you just said has greatly disappointed me."
Liu Bei was displeased, and Zhao Yun's heart was slightly shaken. He was about to speak again, but hesitated for a moment, but swallowed the words that came to his lips.
"That's not what I meant. I just want Yan Liang's army to gather in Qingzhou and invade my country, Yan. I feel that the king should put more thought on how to deal with the enemy." Zhao Yun changed his words.
Liu Bei's expression improved a little, but he said disapprovingly: "The Yan bandits moved their troops to the Weishan area just to repeat their old tricks and attack our Youji coast from the sea. I have already deployed a defensive strategy. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything I can do about that Yan thief, so there¡¯s nothing to worry about.¡±
Liu Bei choked Zhao Yun back with a few words, leaving Zhao Yun at a loss as to how to respond.
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, the two advisers, broke into the hall almost at the same time.
"My greetings" Sima Yi cupped his hands and bowed, waiting to salute.
Zhuge Liang rushed to say: "I'm telling you, your Majesty, Qingzhou is reporting to you urgently. The situation in the south may change."
Liu Bei's expression changed, and half of the alcohol on his face disappeared.
Sima Yi was overtaken by Zhuge Liang, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. While Zhuge Liang was swallowing his saliva, Sima Yi said: "Yan Liang's fleet did not go out to sea to attack our eastern coast as we expected, but instead attacked our eastern coast." It entered the Yellow River in the west, and is now moving westward along the Yellow River. "
"What?" Liu Bei's hands trembled, and the wine in the cup almost spilled out.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "I have said before that Yan Thief's intention is not simple. Now if I don't predict it, Yan Thief's fleet enters the Yellow River, and it must be to cut off the connection between the north and south of our river, and to break through the towns on the south bank of the Yellow River."
Previously, Sima Yi had speculated that Yan Liang would send troops by sea to cooperate with the L¨¹ Meng Army in Liaodong to attack the Youji front line. Now it seems that Sima Yi's speculation has obviously come to nothing.
Zhuge Liang¡¯s words obviously contained a secret satire on Sima Yi.
Liu Bei, who understood the truth, glanced at Zhao Yun subconsciously. A bit of embarrassment flashed between his brows, as if he felt uncomfortable because of his disapproval of Zhao Yun's words just now.
"Now, how should I respond?" Liu Bei asked urgently.
Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, but Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. All the important towns on our south coast are stationed with heavy troops. The grain and grass collected in each city can last for a year. Even if the grain road to Hebei is cut off, it is enough to support a whole army." Year and a half.¡±
After a pause, Sima Yi continued: "Although Yan Thief's fleet can sail across the Yellow River, its army's food and grass must be transported from Xuzhou, thousands of miles away, so it cannot last for long. As long as our army uses heavy troops to guard both sides of the Yellow River, At each ferry, the Yan thieves dare not send troops ashore, and it will not take long. I believe that the Yan thieves will retreat without a fight. "
Sima Yi¡¯s words spoke to Zhuge Liang¡¯s heart, and they were exactly what he wanted to say to comfort Liu Bei.
Having seized the opportunity for Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but frown again.
Liu Bei then breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "That's good, that's good. Send it to the troops along the coast quickly and order them to be on strict guard. No one of the thieves or soldiers will be allowed to land ashore."
After giving instructions on the countermeasures, Liu Bei's mood calmed down, and disdain once again appeared on his face that was still full of alcohol.
"Yan Thief, do you think that every one of your whimsical tricks will be successful? Well, I will make you come back without success this time." Liu Bei raised the corners of his mouth and sneered secretly in his heart.
¡¡
Chang'an City, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cao Cao stared at the piece of information on the case, with a sinister smile appearing and disappearing on his scorched face.
That was intelligence from the Central Plains. Xizuo claimed in it that Yan Liang's fleet gathered in Weishan did not attack the Youji coast from the sea, but entered the Yellow River westward.River, all the way up the water.
"The truth has been said a long time ago that Yan Thief is very cunning. He gathered troops to the seaside with such great fanfare. He definitely did not really intend to attack Hebei by floating on the sea. It seems that Yan Thief's goal is ultimately the Qingyan land on the south bank. ah."
Cao Cao looked like he had foreseen this, and seemed to be laughing at Liu Bei.
At this time, Guo Jia held up his hands and said with a smile: "The front line of Puyang is Liu Bei's gateway to defend Hebei. Liu Bei will capture it at all costs. It is expected that in this battle in the Central Plains, Yan Liang and Liu Bei will do their best to fight to the death. , when both of them are defeated, it is the time for the prime minister to send his troops eastward to collect profits. "
Guo Jia¡¯s words were echoed by many advisers present.
These wise men in the Prime Minister's Office have already begun to discuss whether they should go south from Luoyang and capture Xu Wan, or take the opportunity to invade Hanzhong and capture Yizhou in one fell swoop.
With the victory over Luoyang last year, Cao Cao and his advisers regained their confidence and seemed to have forgotten the pain Yan Liang had caused them.
Cao Cao listened to the heated discussion of the counselors, gently stroked his short beard, and murmured with a sneer: "Yan Thief, Big Er, I am just here to watch from the sidelines, just sitting and watching you two tigers fighting each other, haha¡ª¡ª" ( To be continued.
