Chapter 289 Chang’an is in danger(1/3)

Jinyong City.

The soldiers were transporting earth outside the city and building a mountain of earth.

A cart transported soil and stones, and mountains were erected outside Jinyong City, almost as high as the city.

The camps of one hundred thousand troops were set up in various places, and they were continuous, huge and extraordinary.

Among the army, Yu Wenhu, riding a tall horse, was patrolling his soldiers.

Yu Wenhu was followed by many generals. Every time they arrived at a camp, they began to reward and encourage the sergeants there.

When Yu Wenhu returned to the main camp, many generals were already waiting for him.

Yu Wenhu sat in the upper position, and the other generals sat on both sides.

Yu Chijiong frowned, walked up to him seriously, and saluted him.

"Otsuka Zai!"

"The Duke of Shu has been attacking for more than ten days, but why hasn't he taken this city yet?"

Yuchi Jiong said solemnly: "Otsuka Zai, the chief general in the city, Dugu Yongye, is a famous general in the Puppet Qi Dynasty. He has hundreds of carefully selected warriors around him. Whenever we climb the city, he will use these people as the vanguard.

The soldiers who attacked us were hard to stop."

"Although Heluo's soldiers are not many, they wear a lot of armor and they are all elite."

"There is also a fierce general in command. I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat him easily in a short time."

"In my opinion, it is better to leave an army and continue to surround many cities in Heluo. The Duke of Guo will continue to command the army to advance, expand the results of the battle, occupy favorable terrain such as Mang Mountain, and attack the enemy's reinforcements. Once the enemy's reinforcements cannot arrive, Heluo will

The morale of the soldiers will definitely drop. When the time comes, we can easily break through this city, capture the enemy's reinforcements in one fell swoop, and point our sword at Ye City!"

Yuchijiong gave his own suggestion. He felt that since he could not capture these fortified cities, it was better to surround them first and collect the enemy's reinforcements.

Yu Wenhu frowned.

"No."

"It must be taken down!"

Yuchi Jiong was stunned for a moment and looked at the generals on the side.

Da Xiwu and Wang Xiong both lowered their heads at this moment, pretending they didn't hear anything.

At this moment, a young general came out.

This general is very young. There is no one younger than him among the people here. Although he is young, his face is cold and extremely serious, which makes people dare not look down upon him.

He saluted Yu Wenhu and said: "If Otsuka is unwilling to divide his troops and go, then let the generals occupy the key roads of Mang Mountain. Our army is strong and the enemy may not dare to approach easily."

This person's name is Yu Wenxian.

Yu Wenxian is the fifth son of Yu Wentai and the younger brother of the current emperor Yu Wenyong.

Although he was young, he had outstanding talents. When he was sixteen years old, he went to Shu to take charge of Shu. He made great achievements in governing Shu. The people built stone monuments to commemorate his achievements.

In addition to politics, he also has considerable military accomplishments. Although he has not really fought in a tough battle, many generals appreciate him very much.

Yu Wenhu looked at him and finally had a smile on his face, "Just do what you said."

"We must capture Dugu Yongye and others and capture the cities of Heluo!!"

"Da Xiwu! You lead the troops to cut off the Heyang Road and contain the reinforcements!"

"The rest of the generals occupy the main roads."

Yu Wenhu issued many orders.

When the generals came out of the military camp, their faces were not very good.

Yu Wenhu didn't know much about military affairs, and he wasn't very generous. This made everyone afraid to give advice easily, for fear of being misunderstood.

Just like Li Mu, he once reported to Yu Wenhu, hoping to lead 10,000 troops to attack Yangcheng County and join forces with Quan Jingxuan.

But his proposal was rejected by Yu Wenhu, and he was directly thrown to the rear, with the reputation of being in charge of important logistics matters.

Everyone was afraid of ending up in the same fate. Even if they knew that some of Yuwen Hu's orders were unreasonable, they did not dare to dissuade him.

General Wang Xiong hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but walked to Yu Wenxian's side and blocked him.

"I don't understand, Duke of Qi, why you don't support General Yuchi's strategy?"

Yu Wenxian said seriously: "The Duke of Jin has no idea of ​​dividing his troops, so we can only propose a strategy that he will agree with."

Wang Xiong shook his head and said nothing.

Everyone dispersed, and Yu Wenxian returned to his camp. As soon as he walked in, he saw a young man who looked like a scribe walking over quickly.

This young man is very tall and looks about the same age as Yu Wenxian. He has a short beard, bright eyes, and a sense of arrogance between his eyebrows.

"Lord, how's the matter?"

Yu Wenxian motioned to go in before talking, and the two of them walked into the camp and sat down each.

Yu Wenxian then said: "As Zhaoxuan said, Otsuka Zai is unwilling to divide his troops and insists on taking down Dugu Yongye and others."

The young man sitting next to Yu Wenxian was called Gao Jiong.

His father, Gao Bin, came from the east to the west and initially served as Dugu Xin's staff. Yes, he was still close to Dugu Xin.

Gao Jiong was smart and talented since he was a child. At the age of seventeen, he served as a reporter and a doctor under Yu Wenxian.

Yu Wenxian said: "The current situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us. Although General Quan has captured Yuzhou, General Yang's place really worries me."

"He was eager to make great achievements, and he looked down upon the Qi people too much. He led his elite troops to attack the enemy's hinterland. I'm afraid that once he is defeated, he will not be able to escape intact."

Gao Yan said calmly: "My lord, it is not Yang Xun that we should worry about, nor is it the reinforcements coming from Jinyang."

"My lord should worry about Liu Taozi in the north."

"Liu Taozi?"

Yu Wenxian was stunned, and then said: "Although Liu Taozi is a famous general, Sui Guogong is not inferior to him. Sui Guogong has elite soldiers around him, plus the armies of Lingzhou, Yanzhou, Xiazhou, and

The troops sent to the temple to support him will have no problem blocking Liu Taozi."

"Liu Taozi is most likely to rob Liang Gan."

"But if we can capture Jinyong City and defeat the enemy's reinforcements, then Liang Gan's problem won't be big."

Gao Jiong narrowed his eyes, "Not necessarily."

"Gong Sui is indeed brave, but officials from Ling, Yan, Hui, Xia and other states are closer to Duke Jin. Even if they are willing to obey Duke Sui's orders, they may not fully assist him. As for reinforcements, Hou Long'en can

Do it first

He is a frontman, but it is difficult to command an army. This person lacks courage and can be used by others, but he is not easy to use. Besides, there is also the deputy general Chongye Gong. With all due respect, Chongye Gong has bad conduct and has always been hostile to Sui Guogong. Hou Longen cannot

Treat him."

"It seems that Sui Guogong is in danger. If Liu Taozi defeats Lingzhou, there will be no garrison all the way to Chang'an."

"impossible!"

Yu Wenxian interrupted Gao Jiong and said seriously: "Even if Liu Taozi can capture Lingwu as you said, he will definitely have to pay a huge price. The whole army will be exhausted. I don't believe that here

Under such circumstances, he can continue to march into Chang'an!"

"When we followed the Duke to attack Jinyang, weren't the troops tired? Did they want to capture Jinyang?"

"Liu Taozi doesn't need to capture Chang'an. As long as he can lead the cavalry outside Chang'an, our army will be in chaos!!"

Yu Wenxian immediately couldn't sit still and stood up quickly.

"No, I have to go find the Duke!!"

"It's too late."

"What?"

"My lord, if it is true as I said, then Liu Taozi should be resting his army at this moment and preparing to lead the Qingqi to Chang'an. If you try to persuade the Duke now, not only will you not be able to change his mind, but you will also be afraid of him."

"In my opinion, the best strategy now is to find a way to defeat the enemy's reinforcements, and then send troops back to reinforce. If they cannot be defeated, we must ensure that the entire army can retreat safely."

The two young men had a heated discussion.

In Jinyong City, Dugu Yongye once again repelled the enemies who rushed to the city wall, raised the enemy general's head high in his hand, and roared loudly.

The soldiers shouted loudly, and the Zhou people retreated like waves.

Dugu Yongye gasped and wiped the blood on his face, his face full of excitement.

"These bandits really think grandpa is made of clay!!"

After losing to Yang Zhong in the north, Dugu Yongye had been holding back a fire in his heart. That defeat was because he was betrayed by his own family, and the stubborn Gao Anahu and Gao Ji teamed up to deceive him.

Every time he thought of this incident, he felt so angry that he couldn't sleep at night.

Now when he met the Zhou people again, Dugu Yongye refused to retreat. The soldiers under his command became more and more fierce in fighting. The Zhou people's hundreds of thousands of troops were unable to bite him.

Yu Wenhu, who was in the camp outside the city, frowned as he looked at the mountains of dirt piled up outside the city.

Why can't it be broken?
To be continued...
