Royal Road

Chapter 345 Setsaku

The news reached Jinyang before the Xiongnu began to prepare soldiers, horses, food and grass.

“Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, this is a nationwide crime.” After Xinling handed over the latest military report, Liang Feng immediately recruited civil and military personnel to discuss the matter.

This time, Liu Yao invested a lot of money. Not only did the Huns exhaust their talents, but also recruited the leaders of the Qiang and Di tribes to jointly raise troops. As a result, not only the newly regained Hedong is under the soldiers’ front, and even the hinterland of Sizhou and Bingzhou will also be threatened.

They had guarded against the Xiongnu sending troops, but the scale was so huge. Is it necessary to withdraw from Hedong and stick to the old place?

“This battle is all due to the locust plague. The Huns are short of food. It is better to stand firm and clear the country, guard the city strictly, and consume their food and grass. The enemy should destroy itself if it does not attack.” Duan Qin first said.

“Improper.” Zhang Bin shook his head, “This war will bring a large number of cavalry. If you avoid the battle, the cavalry will be like a locust in the border, driving straight in. The state can be guarded, but the Sizhou is not necessarily. Moreover, if the Huns are invading, You Duanbu Xianbei in the state will also be ready to move. When Jizhou is attacked, it will be a predicament of flanking back and forth.”

Tuoba began to lack food, let alone Duan Xianbei, who had been involved in the Pingzhou War for more than a year? Once war with the Xiongnu, these Xianbei people will inevitably take advantage of the fire and fight for a fortune.

For the merged states, it is not difficult to assemble a force of the same size. But with this little force, it is really not easy to defend against a larger number of enemies that are flanking on both sides.

“Send troops to surprise Chang’an?” Xi Jian said on the side.

“With the natural dangers of Tongguan, it is not easy to enter Yongzhou. Moreover, Chang’an is not inferior to Luoyang. As long as there are soldiers to stand by, it is extremely difficult to conquer.” Zhang Bin immediately shook his head. When Yiyan rushed to Youzhou, it was a success. But the conspiracy lies in surprise, Liu Yao is also a long-time battle, and also likes to attack, he must take this into consideration. Chang’an can never be easily overcome.

“It’s better to let the general lead the army and stop the enemy in the east of the river.” Yi Yan said.

This is also a way, but in this way, it is necessary to fight head-on. At that time, if the forces are constrained by the Huns and Duan Bu suddenly sends out troops, how will it respond?

The counsellors and generals expressed their opinions, sitting on the seat, Liang Feng tapped his knees with his fingers, and suddenly said, “I will lead the soldiers myself and go to Hedong.”

“No!” Several voices sounded in unison.

Yi Yan had already sat up halfway, and said anxiously: “The soldiers are fierce and the war is in danger, how can the lord be involved in danger?!”

Liang Feng raised his hand, stopped him, turned his head and said to Zhang Bin, “How many Qiangdi believe in Buddhism in Yongzhou and Qinzhou today?”

Among these people, only Zhang Bin’s expression remained unchanged, and he calmly said, “I’m afraid that the number is over half.”

“Since there are so many believers, why not use the Buddha’s name?” Liang Feng raised the corner of his lips.

The Qiang people originally believed in Buddhism, and Zhu Dharma protector lived in Chang’an for a long time, which has led to the prosperity of Yongzhou Dharma. How can Xinling let go of such a place? As the Xiongnu moved their capital, the theory of Buddhism gradually penetrated into the boundary of Yongzhou. Two consecutive years of natural disasters and insects have put Bingzhou in a fabulous coat.

This kind of mind attack may not be obvious on weekdays, but what about the battlefield? Fozi led his troops to fight, but this move can shake the hearts of many people.

Seeing Zhang Bin’s expression unchanged, Liang Feng knew that he had already thought of this idea. It’s just that there are some things that can’t be easily spoken by a minister.

In that case, let him speak.

Moreover, the benefits of leading soldiers in battle are not the same.

“If there is news, I will lead troops to resist the Xiongnu and leave Jinyang. How can Duan Bu Xianbei ignore it? I’m afraid it will send troops immediately. Isn’t the Tuoba department short of food and want to sell livestock? Don’t be so troublesome. Let them use livestock. For the dry food, we will cooperate with the Jizhou soldiers to attack the section. As long as they can win, I will give them food and grass!” Liang Feng said flatly.

The Tuoba tribe is short of food, and everyone knows what nomads will do when they are short of food. Moreover, the food is second, the Youzhou occupied by Duanbu is not a piece of fat for the Tuoba tribe? With the help of Tuoba’s elite soldiers, it was not too difficult to repel Duan.

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

Just so decisive, it’s still too dangerous.

Yi Yan’s expression has completely changed: “The battlefield is no better than talking about soldiers on paper. What if there is an accident? The lord must never go to war!”

In that voice, the calmness was lost, almost not like the attitude that a courtier should have.

Liang Feng raised his head, looked directly at the gray-blue eyes, and shook his head: “There is no foolproof way in the world. If you avoid the war, you will be the three states of disaster. It was the same for Wang Jun back then, and it is still the same for the pseudo-Chinese!”

“Lord…”

What else did Yi Yan want to say, Liang Feng unfolded his sleeves and stood up: “Zhang joins the army, you start arranging the dispatch of troops. Duan’s book is responsible for the rear of the grain and grass. It is in charge of the internal affairs of the state and transferred to the generation of Xi Zhizhong. The order continues, the three states Entering wartime martial law!”

After all, he didn’t stop and walked out. Looking at the figure of that person Jue Jue’s back, Yi Yan bit his teeth and ran after him.

One after another, the two figures disappeared. Zhang Bin retracted his gaze, smiled slightly, and said to his colleagues: “This battle is probably more difficult than the battle against Youzhou in the past. The lord leads the soldiers, and the morale will be boosted. I also hope that the monarchs will work together to defend against powerful enemies. …”

Hearing the rapid footsteps behind him, Liang Feng sighed in his heart, this kid really wouldn’t give up easily.

A hand suddenly grabbed his robe sleeve, Liang Feng paused at his feet and turned his head to look back. Just a few steps, Yi Yan’s forehead was already oozing sweat, clutching his hand, clenched tightly: “Master, this is a confrontation of tens of thousands of people, no more than usual. How can you risk your life? ”

“Because it is a general meeting, it is safer to be the coach.” 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 personal soldiers within the Chinese army, how can you break through the siege and enter the handsome account? Once the situation is not good, the Chinese army will retreat, and there are still many soldiers and horses to cover.

Taking the first rank among the army of chaos is something that only happens in joking and legendary stories. That’s why, in history, there have been many failures in the Imperial Excursion, but there is only one case of the Tumu Fortress.

However, these words are of no use to Yi Yan: “That’s also a big battle! There are no swords and spears, not to mention the many Xiongnu cavalry, in case there is one…”

“Yi Yan!” Liang Feng yelled, “How many times have you led soldiers, drove thousands of miles, and fought alone. Did I ever say something?”

“That’s different…” What else did Yi Yan want to say.

“That is your duty. I believe you can do what you should do and defeat the enemy.” Liang Feng said, “Now, it is time for me to do my duty. If I am alone, it is possible to avoid success. Thousands of innocent people die in vain, and can prevent the lives of counties from being overwhelmed. How can I not escape the battle? You have your responsibility, and I have mine. Do you not trust me or yourself?”

His voice was harsher than ever. Yi Yan’s words choked in his throat. He hasn’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 to command, one to break the enemy and fight side by side.

Seeing Yiyan’s expression change, Liang Feng sighed and shook his arm backhand: “This is why the battle is important, and you can’t miss the military plane because of personal affair. In this battle, I am the coach, but you are the general. How about Winning, how to break the enemy, how to save the lives of the people in the three states, are the only things you should consider.”

It’s not just the safety of one person.

“The lord is the lifeblood of Binzhou. Once out of battle, the enemy will be coveted…” Yi Yan closed his eyes and suppressed his voice.

This is what he fears most. If you can kill the Buddha, the entire Binzhou will collapse for it, and the Xiongnu will regain the “mandate of heaven.” What a tempting bait, the offensive of the Huns must be different from the past.

Liang Feng smiled: “Then use me as a bait to ambush, lure the enemy, and attack them. Just like the handsome chess in military chess, just one piece can produce thousands of changes. The less the enemy is calm, the more we hope for victory. Great. And this will also contain the enemy forces, preventing them from dividing their forces and endangering other counties.”

This is a very profitable way to attack the heart, lure the enemy, and concentrate the military forces of both sides as much as possible to fight a large-scale battle. Only in this way can the pseudo-Han soldiers gather in one place and save other counties in the territory from war. And this battle is also related to the overall situation. Just like Guandu, like Chibi, the first battle determines the survival or destruction of a force.

In this battle, he has the determination and hope to win!

Those black eyes were shining with light, like the brightest stars in the summer night. Indeed, his lord had never been afraid, no matter how powerful enemies he faced.

The strained heart gradually stopped the tremor. Holding the slightly cold hand, Yi Yan slowly knelt down, kneeling in front of Liang Feng: “The final general is willing to lead the Lord.”

He hadn’t kneeled in front of him like this for a long, long time. The same memory echoed in the back of his head. Liang Feng stepped forward, held the opponent’s shoulders, and took the person into his arms: “I will also cheer for you, and see you break the enemy line again.”

It is different from the first battle of Liang Mansion and Jinyang alone. This time, he will go to the battlefield and fight alongside him.
