Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Tao Yuanming frowned: "Master, I advise you not to have such thoughts. If you are just Liu Yu alone, you might be able to take Muronglan's life into consideration and let you go, but Wang Miaoyin followed. In this world I am afraid that no one wants Murong Lan to disappear forever than she does."

Heipao's face changed: "What do you mean by this, Wang Miaoyin wants to force Murong Lan to death?"

Tao Yuanming nodded: "Women will always value love above everything else. This time, Wang Miaoyin will not hesitate to follow Liu Yu on the expedition. Indestructible Yan is not what she cares about most, so Murong Lan will never be able to see Liu again. Yu, this is what she wants. It's probably something she's been thinking about by borrowing you or Murong Chao's hand to kill Murong Lan. In fact, during the question and answer, you couldn't hear it. , Did Wang Miaoyin actually want to let you escape?"

Hei Pao thoughtfully said to himself: "Listening to you, it may be true. At that time, Wang Miaoyin took the initiative to mention her mother's affairs, probably because he wanted to interfere with Liu Yu's judgment and help me get out."

Tao Yuanming sighed: "Wang family and Xie family ancestors studied various methods of restraining witches, I just want to cooperate with her when I know this, and find a way to take out the Gu from my mind. It is impossible for Murong Lan to be ignorant of this. But based on their relationship, if they were really willing to help, Wang Miaoyin should have been rescued long ago. Even, maybe Liu Yu didn't know until now that Wang Miaoyin was the one who could really save Muronglan. If you really were Wanting to start with Liu Yu, perhaps, to provoke the relationship between him and Wang Miaoyin is a clever trick."

Heipao laughed and patted Tao Yuanming on the shoulder: "You are still great. I have thought of all these things. I will use them when necessary. However, now I can't care about these things. No matter how I provoke Liu Yu and The relationship with the people around him can't prevent his army from besieging Guanggu. And I have already thought that this defensive battle will be a good opportunity for me to turn defeat into victory."

Tao Yuanming was a little surprised: "How can we turn defeat into victory if we guard ourselves in a lonely city and cut off foreign aid?"

Heipao confidently said: "Liu Yuzhi is brave and fierce, just like Ran Min back then. Today's battle proves that our army is already hard to be an opponent in the field. Now the army is newly defeated, morale is low, and the army has no fighting spirit. The battle in the city is bound to fail miserably. Once you lose this last army, you will be unable to defend even if you have a strong city."

"But in the past, Ran Min attacked Yecheng, but suffered a disastrous defeat. He was just under the strong city, but he couldn't break the city. The relocation was delayed, his vigor was reduced, and the epidemic was infested. This is the so-called siege of the city in the art of war. When the city did not break through the month of ten months, Yao Xiang and Yan's two armies attacked, cooperated with the soldiers and horses in the city, and attacked on three sides. Ran Min was defeated and lost. The 100,000 army was given away almost overnight, and a large number of famous officials and generals died in battle. , He himself escaped back alone, and since then the myth of invincibility in the world has been completely broken."

Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "Do you want to repeat the battle of Yecheng that year, while holding on to Guanggu while waiting for foreign aid, and then unite inside and outside to defeat Liu Yu?"

Heipao nodded: "There is only this way. This time Dayan has nowhere to go. Guanggu is the last fortress. The Han people in Qilu are not to be trusted. There are only tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers and horses for the last fight. Relying on the strong city defense of Guanggu, it is not a big problem to defend the last year, but within a year, if there is no reinforcements, it will eventually fall. In the past, Cao Yi and Duan Kan made chaos in Guanggu, relying on this The army that persisted in resisting Shihu and Murongke lasted for a year, but even if it could last a year, it still failed because of the cut-off of foreign aid and was forced to surrender. I don't want to end up like this, do you understand?"

Tao Yuanming nodded: "So, you want me to go to Houqin for help?"

A cold light flashed in Heipao's eyes: "Yes, Yao Xing of the Later Qin Dynasty, last time because of the affairs of Xishu and Liu Yu completely turned his face and became an enemy, the so-called gift of Nanyang Twelve County, also It has been offset. He should be very clear that once Nan Yan is wiped out, the next one will be his Hou Qin, at least the land of the Central Plains. Now Hou Qin has beaten Hu Xia to the death, Yang Fosong, Qi Nan, these famous generals have died in battle, Yao Xing himself has also been defeated by Liu Bobo several times, and almost died. If Liu Yu is attacked again, the day when the country is destroyed will be just around the corner."

Tao Yuanming gritted his teeth: "But if Hou Qin can't protect himself, how can he pull out his troops to support Nan Yan?"

Heipao said coldly: "Liu Bobo relied on the high mobility of the cavalry to guerrilla everywhere, making the post-Qin army dominated by carriages exhausted, so that he could find fighters and use ambushes to win in the field. But if he wants to attack him Qin’s Lingbei strong city fortresses, I’m afraid he doesn’t have this ability, such as Xinping, secret, stable and other important places, Liu Bobo has also made several strong attacks, but failed. If even the great city of Lingbei cannot be captured, It is even more impossible to enter the customs and seize Chang'an."

Tao Yuanming said sternly: "Master meant that as long as Yao Xing does not take the initiative to attack and shrink his forces to defend the fortresses in the Lingbei area, then Liu Bobo is powerless to attack?"

Hei Pao nodded: "Yes, every city in Lingbei has enough food for the army of more than 10,000 people to eat for more than a year. Liu Bobo's army is tribal cavalry. They come and go like the wind and are good at maneuvering. Every battle requires looting to gain benefits, otherwise there will be no fighting spirit. As long as Yao Xing can stand firm and clear the field and shrink the defense, Liu Bobo will have nothing to attack. He will naturally retreat after a few months. Lingbei is already a barren land and not much output. For many years, we have been relying on the food and grass support from Guanzhong and Longyou. Even if we give up outside the city and specialize in defense, it will not impose an excessive burden on the country. You can tell Yao Xing that as long as he stays in the north and does not fight, he will send The main force in the 30,000 pass, cooperated with the 20,000 Central Plains troops, or attacked Yuzhou, or sent troops into Nanyan, and joined my wide defending army to attack Liu Yu. After the war, I would like to thank you with 30,000 sets of armored equipment. He also sent two thousand armored cavalry soldiers into the Hou Qin to guide the Qin army to learn the tactics of armored cavalry."

Tao Yuanming asked with some doubts: "Later Qin is also a big country. When I went to Qin country last time, Yao Xing also told me in person that he has more than 50,000 cavalry, why do you need to provide these?"

There was a sense of disdain from the laughter of the black robe: "It is not a man with a horse and a horse, but a horse, and the Qin army is just a tribe of Qiang people and is not a warrior. Regarding how to maintain a formation after wearing heavy armor, How to gallop back and forth, or even one person with two horses, and changing outfits before the war, are all ignorant. At best, they can only be regarded as a group of armored infantry on horseback. They can't exert the power of armored cavalry at all. They must be able to ride a hundred times. A team, connected by chains, and a group rushing into the battle, is nothing to think about. Today, we can achieve a hundred rides in one, and the armored riders assault, but my Dayan iron rider and Wei Guojia ride the ears!"
