[Rebirth] Emperor Yonggao Ji

After a winter's recuperation, Liu Fu recruited 5 soldiers from the State of Zhao and ordered them to defend Luoyang. He also transferred the Luoyang Army to join forces with the Yong Army. The second attack on Zhao Guo.

Liu Fu's troops were plundering like fire, and difficult to know like shadows. King Zhao did not dare to underestimate him this time, and personally led his troops to meet the enemy.He was not in a hurry to rescue Shangdang, but first stationed his army in Xianghuan, a little farther away, and then divided his troops into two groups, stationed at the eldest son and Huguan on both sides of Shangdang, thinking that the two wings were mutually hostile to Shangdang. If Liu Fu surrounds any one of them, the other two can be rescued quickly.Liu Fu's army is still in Gaoping, so even if Yong's army arrives first, it will be difficult to conquer for a while. Zhao's army will arrive from Xianghuan in just one day, so he can deal with it calmly.

From this move alone, it can be seen that he is far superior to He Wu and Shi Meng.Different from He Wu, Zhao Wang Shiwei's lands and mountains were all brought down by himself, one city at a time. He can become a prince with more than a dozen states, which naturally has his own merits.

Liu Fu still didn't take him to heart - although Zhao Wang's move was brilliant, it was not without a way to crack it.

Liu Fu led an army of [-], rushed to the eldest son, besieged for a day, and lost more than [-] men, but the eldest son remained motionless like a mountain.At dusk, the city was already strewn with corpses of Yong soldiers, Liu Fu had no choice but to return in resentment, and retreated forty miles to set up camp.

Since the three defeats at Wangwu Mountain last year, the people of Zhao had been in awe of Liu Fu. Seeing him come back in a feather, they couldn't help but feel elated - even though he has all kinds of abilities, he is still helpless after being imprisoned by the eldest son!

From common people to soldiers, from clerks to generals, a victory is too much needed to boost morale.Victory in the first battle, keeping Liu Fu firmly on the first line of defense, and defeating the indomitable Yong Jun's spirit in one fell swoop - such an honor is too attractive and too dazzling, making the eldest son's defenders completely forget about Liu Fu What kind of person is he.

As Liu Fu expected, in order to boost the morale of the army, the guard of the eldest son held a celebration banquet at night to honor the soldiers.The Yong army had not yet retreated, so the soldiers were not allowed to get too drunk. Each person could only drink half a catty of wine at most, and they would go to bed after drinking, but it did not affect their high spirits at all.Naturally, the night guard soldiers could not participate in such excitement. They stood on the top of the city, listening to the noise below, and could only swallow their mouths.Fortunately, they all had some friends who secretly climbed up the tower and could share a bowl with each of them.

"Old Wu, hurry up, have you finished drinking? I can go back to sleep after drinking. If the corporal finds me sneaking up, it will be terrible!"

"Good brother, it's really interesting!" The soldier called Lao Wu "Gududu" burped happily after drinking a bowl, "Hey Lao Jiang, is there any more in your pot?"

"It's too much!" Lao Jiang hurriedly took the flagon away, "That's all I have left."

"Let me see..." Old Wu made a gesture to grab it, and the two of them began to fight in a low voice, and other soldiers on the wall watched them fight while drinking.Suddenly Old Wu stopped, "Hush—listen, is there any movement down there?"

Lao Jiang glanced at him suspiciously, fearing that he would fall into his plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, he held the jug in his arms first, and then went to the top of the city to have a look. Seeing that it was pitch black below, and he couldn't see anything, he curled his lips and turned around. He said: "You heard it wrong, there is not even a toad under the city."

As soon as he finished speaking, a rope was thrown from behind suddenly, tying his neck to the city wall. Lao Jiang opened his mouth wide and screamed silently. There was a crisp sound on the ground, but there was no other sound.The bystanders were startled, but before they could react, when they were about to rescue him, they saw ropes being thrown up one by one, and the first batch of Yong soldiers climbed up to the top of the city without a sound.

Under the cover of night, the Yong army had already advanced quietly and ambushed outside the eldest son city. The footsteps of 2 people were just covered by the noise of the celebration banquet in the city.They were not in a hurry to attack the city, but like patient hunters, they waited from the first half of the night to the second half of the night, until the city gradually quieted down, and the Zhao soldiers fell asleep with their heads covered in alcohol before launching a surprise attack.As soon as the soldiers at the top of the city succeeded, they all marched with clamor and clamor, attacking from inside and outside, and took control of the city gate in a short while.

The city gate is the lifeblood of a city. Once this lifeblood is choked, no matter how strong the city is, no matter how brave the defenders are, they will not be able to withstand the attack.

Zhao Jun in the city had just fallen asleep and was at his heaviest when he heard a loud noise outside the city, turned over suddenly, shook first, and then rushed out of the barracks.The Yong army had already rushed in, and the Changzi City under the night fell into a desperate chaos. Horseshoes were rattling and people were scattered.

With such a big commotion in the eldest son city, Shangdang and Huguan naturally couldn't just sit idly by. The eldest son's defenders knew that they would be able to wait for reinforcements if they persisted for a while, but they couldn't wait for that time no matter what.Under the darkness of night, Yong Jun's head was wrapped with a white cloth, and anyone who saw a black forehead would be chopped off with a knife. They are the masters of tigers and wolves. After a while, he took control of the eldest son city.

But Liu Fu didn't stay in the city any longer, he hurried back to his division out of the city, headed east, and lay in ambush beside the Zhang River, waiting for Zhao's reinforcements to arrive.The riverside was lush with water and grass, as tall as half a person, and Yong Jun hid in it silently, and he couldn't see it under the night light.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhao Jun rushed to Zhangshui, and Liu Fu smiled slightly - he knew that Zhao Guo would come to rescue, so he made the time difference.When they were halfway across the river, the Yong army ambushing at the side rushed out. The Zhao people thought that the Yong army was still fighting hard in the eldest son city, so how could they have expected them to appear here at this time, and because they were in a hurry to rescue them, He didn't observe the surroundings carefully, so he didn't notice any unusual things nearby.Suddenly seeing Yong Jun at this time, he was also caught off guard.Liu Fu beheaded 8000 people in this battle and captured [-] people. The eldest son's city was broken and Huguan was empty, and it was already in danger. Before Liu Fu attacked his eldest son, he had divided up [-] troops. close.There were only the old and the weak in the city, and when they heard that the Yong army was still attacking the eldest son, now they appeared outside Huguan City, they were terrified, and felt that the Yong army was really unpredictable, so they opened the city and surrendered after resisting for a while.

Before Liu Fu's army moved under Changping Pass, King Zhao's two wings had been pulled out, and the Chinese army was exposed.Who would have thought that a mere 3 people could achieve such an effect?Zhao Wang finally understood at this time that he must not underestimate Yong's small army. Wherever Liu Fu is, his central army will be there.Zhao Wang thought about it again and again, so he adjusted his deployment quickly and pushed the army forward to Shangdang without further delay.

Liu Fu also ordered the army to go north from Changping Pass and confront Zhao's army at Gaowangbao.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jun set up camp and seemed not in a hurry for a decisive battle.Although Liu Fu led a large army from afar, the south of Changping Pass is in Yongtu, and the grain roads are unblocked; Wang Sheng also temporarily moved the government office to Luoyang, and it is quite convenient to transport grain from here, so Liu Fu is not in a hurry to fight quickly. However, if King Zhao thought that his army was coming from far away to benefit from a quick battle, and wanted to use food and grass as his weakness, this wishful thinking might be wrong.Liu Fu believed that King Zhao was not a fool. He must have plans after he hadn't fought for a long time.

Sure enough, half a month later, news came from the south that Liang Yu of the Liang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River led an army to the north and was heading towards Xiangyang!

Liang Yu was the younger brother of the monarch Liang Yan. He made the Northern Expedition at the time when Yong and Zhao were fighting each other, obviously he saw the opportunity and wanted to profit from it.Xiangyang is a battleground for military strategists. If you occupy this place, go north to Nanyang, you can drive Wan and Luo; pass Wuguan in the northwest, you can enter Guanzhong;If the northerners win, the south of the Yangtze River will be in danger, and if the southerners win, the Central Plains will be terrified.

Back then when Liu Fu attacked Wei, he used deceit to take Xiangyang lightly and skillfully, but after all Xiangyang was the place of the Fourth World War, and he knew from the time he took this place that sooner or later there would be a bloody battle here.

"Your Majesty, withdraw your troops and return to your country!"

"If Xiangyang is lost, the south and north can attack Chang'an and Luoyang, and the west can enter Sichuan. We are in danger!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Never let the southerners take Xiangyang!"

All the generals were furious and urged to withdraw their troops, but Liu Fu remained uncharacteristically silent, and after a long while, he only said: "Let me think again, think again..."

Zhao Yingzhong was also having fun with Liu Fu at this time.

"Now that Liang Yu is going north, the soldiers are pointing directly at Xiangyang, not to mention whether it can be captured, King Yong must not sit idly by. In my opinion, King Yong will definitely withdraw his army. If our army pursues the situation, we can win a big victory. "

Zhao Wang Fuxu was silent, and another person said: "The last general thinks that our king should take advantage of this to form an alliance with Liang Guo, and attack the Yong army from the north and the south, so that they can't look at each other. If King Yong leads the army to go south at this time, then go up The siege of the party is a good opportunity for our army to recover the lost land in Hanoi; if King Yong still wants to fight with me, Xiangyang will be lost. In the future, when his army goes south, I can draw a gourd in the same way, regain the lost land, and go south to make progress Luoyang."

Zhao Wang nodded, "This is a god-sent opportunity, we must plan it carefully."

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Zhao Wang looked at him, "Chen Aiqing, please tell me."

This time Chen Qian also went out with the army. He stepped forward and said to King Zhao and the crowd: "To check the opinions of everyone, everyone thought that Liang Yu's Northern Expedition would definitely be able to fight, but it was a mistake."

Zhao Wang was puzzled: "Why?"

"Although Xiangyang is an important place, Liang Yu's northern expedition had his ambition here, but it was not here."

"If it's not in Xiangyang, where can it be? Nanyang?" Someone wondered, "What is it?"

"I heard that King Liang was seriously ill, and Liang Yu insisted on leading the army to the north at this time. Did he come here for Xiangyang alone?" Chen Qian paused, "He wants the army and military exploits."

Chen Qian bowed to King Zhao, "My king forgives my ministers and speaks bluntly. King Liang is seriously ill and his life is dying. His son is too weak to take on major events. Liang Yu followed King Liang to fight everywhere and pacified the south of the Yangtze River. Then the ministers are suspicious and find it hard to tolerate, not to mention that Liang Yu is now a great general, so those who live under the King of Liang have the righteousness of brothers, and since the King of Liang is dead, it is inevitable that he will not have the heart to go further."

"So Liang Yu's Northern Expedition, whether he can contribute depends on the condition of Liang Wang. If Liang Wang does not die, if Liang Yu takes Xiangyang, he will make a great contribution to the Northern Expedition, and he can coerce Liang Liang to make him a reserve. We will try our best to attack the city; once the king of Liang dies, Liang Yu will lead his troops outside and will return to the country to seek other plans, so Xiangyang will have no worries."

Zhao Wang was silent for a long time before he said: "So... it's a bet on how long Liang Yan can live."

"No." Chen Qian said, "King Liang is determined not to survive this winter, so the bet is whether King Yong will also think of this place. Wang Shangke made a high-profile alliance with the Kingdom of Liang, and specially taught King Yong to know, and threatened to kill him." Make an appointment with Liang State to jointly send troops to attack Yong State from north to south. After the matter is completed, Yong State will be divided into two, and the two countries will be divided into two countries. If this is the case, we must hit the vital point of King Yong. If he is afraid of this, great things will be accomplished!"

Zhao Wang patted the table and said: "Okay, just follow the words of Zuo Xiang!"

When the news of Liang and Zhao's alliance came, it was as if the Yong army's camp had added another fire to the boiling oil pan.The generals insisted on returning to assist Xiangyang, but Liu Fu couldn't make a decision for several days.

Xiangyang is an important place, and it cannot be lost no matter what. Once Xiangyang changes hands, it will take a lot of blood and time to get it back.After all, Liu Fu took advantage of having lived once, knowing that Liang Yan was about to die soon, so he was not in Zhao Guo's plan.But the question is... Liang Yan or Xiangyang City, who can last longer?

Take a gamble!

Liu Fu summoned the generals to discuss the matter, and everyone was urging him to return to the army. As the coach, he wanted to fight against all opinions and insist on not retreating, which required great courage and prestige.Fortunately, these two kinds of Liu Fu were not lacking. He looked around the crowd and said: "The siege of Xiangyang will be resolved within a month. With the [-] defenders in the city, it is expected that it will be able to hold it. The alliance between Zhao Guo and Liang Guo is because It is difficult to control our army, and the timidity has already shown. Now Zhao Guo is retreating steadily, and it is time to chase death and chase the north. With the momentum of victory, we should attack the Shangdang and wipe out the three Jins—”

"I agree, never withdraw troops!"
