Royal road

Chapter 345

Before the Xiongnu began to prepare soldiers, horses, food and grass, the news spread to Jinyang.

"One hundred thousand soldiers and horses, this is an invasion by the whole country." After Xinling handed over the latest military report, Liang Feng immediately recruited civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

Liu Yao spent a lot of money this time. Not only did the Xiongnu send out all the elite, but they also recruited the commanders of the Qiang and Di tribes to raise troops together.In this way, not only the newly recovered Hedong is under the front of the army, but also the hinterland of Sizhou and Bingzhou are also threatened.

They had guarded against the Huns sending troops, but who would have expected such a huge scale.Is it necessary to withdraw from Hedong and stick to the old land?

"This battle is all caused by locust disasters. The Xiongnu are short of food. It is better to fortify the walls and clear the fields, guard the city strictly, and consume their food and grass. The enemy should be destroyed without attack." Duan Qin first said.

"Inappropriate." Zhang Bin shook his head, "The puppet Han will definitely bring a large number of cavalry in this battle. If they avoid the battle, the cavalry will drive straight in like locusts passing through the border. Bingzhou can be defended, but Sizhou is not necessarily. The Duanbu Xianbei in the state will also be ready to move, and when Jizhou is attacked, it will be a dilemma of attacking both front and back."

The Tuoba tribe is starting to run out of food, let alone Duanbu Xianbei who has been involved in the Pingzhou War for more than a year?Once there is a war with the Xiongnu, this group of Xianbei people will inevitably take advantage of the fire to attack and grab a lot of money.

For Bingzhou, it is not difficult to gather troops of the same size.But with this little force, it is not easy to defend against a larger number of enemies who attack from both sides.

"What about sending troops to surprise Chang'an?" Xi Jian asked aside.

"With the natural danger of Tongguan, it is not easy to enter Yongzhou. What's more, Chang'an is not inferior to Luoyang. As long as there are soldiers standing firm, it is extremely difficult to conquer." Zhang Bin shook his head immediately.When Yiyan attacked Youzhou back then, it was a successful battle.But the trick lies in surprise. Liu Yao is also a battle-hardened veteran and also likes to rush, so he will definitely take this into consideration.Chang'an is definitely not something that can be easily conquered.

"It's better to let the last general lead the army and stop the enemy at the east of the river." Yi Yan said.

This is also a way, but in this way, it will be a direct confrontation.At that time, if the troops are restrained by the Xiongnu and Duan Bu suddenly sends troops, how will he respond?

The counselors and the generals expressed their opinions, sitting on the seat, Liang Feng lightly tapped his fingers on his knees, and suddenly said: "I will personally lead the troops to the east of the river."

"No!" Several voices sounded in unison.

Yiyan had already half sat up, and said anxiously: "The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, how can the Lord be in danger?!"

Liang Feng raised his hand, stopped him, turned to Zhang Bin and said, "How many Qiang Di believe in Buddhism in Yongzhou and Qinzhou?"

Among these few people, only Zhang Bin's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I'm afraid the number of people has exceeded half."

"Since there are so many believers, why not use the Buddha's name?" Liang Feng raised the corners of his lips.

The Qiang people originally believed in Buddhism. Before that, Zhu Fahu lived in Chang'an for a long time, which led to the prosperity of Buddhism in Yongzhou.How could Xinling let go of such a place?As the Xiongnu moved their capital, the theory of Buddhist sons gradually penetrated into the territory of Yongzhou.The two consecutive years of natural disasters and insect disasters have given Bingzhou a mythical cloak.

This kind of mental attack may not be obvious on weekdays, but what about on the battlefield?Buddha led his troops to fight, just this action can shake the morale of many people.

Seeing that Zhang Bin's expression remained unchanged, Liang Feng knew that he probably had thought of this idea a long time ago.It's just that there are some things that the ministers can't easily say.

That being the case, let him open the mouth.

Besides, there are more than one advantages for him to lead troops into battle.

"If there is news, I will lead the troops to resist the Xiongnu and leave Jinyang. How can the Duanbu Xianbei ignore it? I am afraid that they will send troops immediately. Isn't the Tuoba tribe short of food and want to sell livestock? Don't be so troublesome. Let them use livestock For dry food, cooperate with Jizhou soldiers and horses to attack Duanbu. As long as they can win, I will give them food and grass!" Liang Feng said decisively.

The Tuoba tribe was short of food, and everyone knew what the nomads would do when they were short of food.And the food was second to none. The Youzhou occupied by the Duanbu was not a piece of fat for the Tuoba tribe?With the help of elite soldiers from the Tuoba tribe, it is not too difficult to repel the Duan tribe.

In this way, what he faced was no longer a single battlefield.But who said that Bingzhou does not have the strength to fight two battles at the same time?

It's just that such a decision is still too risky.

Yiyan's expression has completely changed: "The battlefield is no more than talking on paper, what if an accident happens? My lord must never go to war!"

In that voice, there was no calmness, and it hardly resembled the attitude that a courtier should have.

Liang Feng raised his head, looked directly into those gray-blue eyes, and shook his head: "There is no sure way in the world. If you avoid the war, it will be a disaster for the three states. It was like this to Wang Jun back then, and it is still like this to the hypocrites now!"

"My lord..."

Yi Yan wanted to say something else, Liang Feng stretched out his sleeves and stood up: "Zhang Canjun, you start to arrange for the dispatch of troops. Master Duan is in charge of the rear of the grain and grass. The internal affairs of the prefecture will be transferred to Xi Zhizhong. Pass the order down, Sanzhou Enter wartime martial law!"

After all, he didn't stop, and strode out.Seeing the decisive back of the man, Yiyan gritted his teeth and chased after him.

One after the other, the two figures disappeared.Zhang Bin withdrew his gaze, smiled slightly, and said to his colleagues: "I'm afraid this battle will be more difficult than the battle against Youzhou back then. The Lord leads the army, and the morale will be greatly boosted. I also hope that all the lords will work together to defend against the powerful enemy." ..."

Hearing the hurried footsteps behind him, Liang Feng sighed in his heart, this kid really won't give up easily.

A hand grabbed his robe sleeve suddenly, Liang Feng stopped and turned his head to look back.With just a few steps, Yiyan's forehead was already dripping with sweat, and he grabbed his hand tightly: "Master, this is a confrontation between hundreds of thousands of people, which is different from usual. How can you put yourself in danger? "

"Because it's a big battle, as the coach, it's safer." Liang Feng's voice remained motionless.

This is the truth, but when the army is fighting, it is rare for the coach to be killed.Because there must be a Chinese army around the big tent, and there are soldiers in the middle army, how can they break through the encirclement and enter the commander's tent?Once the situation is not good, the Chinese army will retreat, and there will be an unknown number of soldiers and horses covering it.

Taking the head of a general in a rebellious army is something that only happens in jokes and legends.This is why, in history, there have been many failures of the imperial conquests, but there was only one case of the Tumubao change.

However, these words are of no use to Yiyan: "That was also a big battle! Swords and guns have no eyes, not to mention that there are many Huns cavalry, if there is one..."

"Yiyan!" Liang Feng shouted abruptly, "How many times have you led troops, galloped thousands of miles, and fought alone. Have I ever said a word?"

"That's different..." Yiyan wanted to say something else.

"That's your duty. I believe that you can do what you should do and defeat the enemy." Liang Feng paused, "Now, it's time for me to fulfill my duty. With just one more person, I may avoid success." Thousands of innocent people died in vain, and the loss of life in counties could be avoided. How could I avoid the war? You have your responsibility, and I have mine. Do you not trust me, or do you not trust yourself?"

His voice was unprecedentedly harsh.Yiyan's words were choked in his throat.He hadn't seen such a lord for a long, long time.However, the fact is that when the two met, they were on a small battlefield.One person commands, one person defeats the enemy, and fights side by side.

Seeing the change in Yiyan's expression, Liang Feng sighed softly, and grabbed his arm with his backhand: "This is why the battle is so important, and you can't miss the military plane because of personal affairs. In this battle, I am the commander in chief, but you are the commander in chief. Winning, how to defeat the enemy, and how to save the lives of the people in the three states are the only things you should consider."

Rather than the safety of a single person.

"My lord is the lifeblood of Bingzhou. Once you go out to battle, you will definitely attract enemies..." Yiyan closed his eyes and suppressed his voice

This was what he was most afraid of.If the Buddha can be killed, the entire Bingzhou will collapse, and the Xiongnu will regain the "Mandate of Heaven".This is such a tempting bait, the Xiongnu's offensive must be different from the past.

Liang Feng smiled: "Then use me as bait, ambush, lure the enemy, and catch them unprepared. Just like the handsome chess in military chess, just one move can produce thousands of changes. The less calm the enemy is, the more hopeful we will win Big. And this will also contain the enemy army, making it impossible for them to divide their forces and endanger other counties."

This is a very profitable method, attacking the mind, luring the enemy, and concentrating the military forces of both sides as much as possible to fight a large-scale battle.Only in this way can the puppet Han soldiers gather in one place and save other counties and counties in the territory from the flames of war.And this battle is also related to the overall situation.Just like Guandu, like Chibi, one battle can determine the survival or destruction of a faction.

And this battle, he has the determination to win, and also has the hope of winning!

Those black eyes were shining brightly, like the brightest stars in a summer night.Indeed, his lord has never been afraid, no matter how powerful an enemy he faces.

My heart, which had been clenched all the time, gradually stopped trembling.Holding that slightly cold hand, Yi Yan slowly knelt down, kneeling in front of Liang Feng: "The last general is willing to be the lord's forerunner."

He hadn't knelt in front of him like this for a long, long time.The same memory echoed in the back of his mind.Liang Feng took a step forward, supported the opponent's shoulder, and pulled him into his arms: "I will also beat the drums to cheer for you, and see if you break the enemy's formation again."

It was different from the first battle of the Liang Mansion back then, and it was also different from defending Jinyang alone.This time, he will go to the battlefield and fight by his side.
