Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 231 Hu Xia Kouguan
Luoyang!Damn Luoyang!

Xie Hui gritted his teeth, staring at the map almost bursting into flames.

He was very upset with himself at the moment.

Xie Hui himself is an excellent strategist. When it comes to actual combat, he may not be as good as Wang Zhen'e, Tan Daoji, and Zhu Lingshi, the three famous generals, but his ability to understand the enemy's intentions is rare in the world, and it can even be said to come out once in a century. There is no outstanding person in the world, otherwise Liu Yu would not let Xie Hui become his brain trust.

I didn't see the possible attack path of the enemy army, so I really deserve to be killed!

Xie Hui was angry and annoyed with himself at this time.

He naturally knew what the consequences would be if the Northern Wei Dynasty went south to attack Luoyang.

Just relying on people like Hanoi County... how can they resist the unfettered [-] Wei army?

And once the opponent takes Hanoi and crosses the river, according to Luoyang, it will lock 20 Song troops in this area!
Xie Hui frowned: "Withdraw the troops!"

No more Hanoi!
Zhu Chaoshi and Fu Hongzhi have to leave!

Withdraw to Luoyang and protect the retreat of the Song army!
Otherwise, everyone will die!

"But……"

Both Tan Daoji and Xie Hui looked at Shangdang County.

If the Song Army in Hanoi County withdraws, it will almost send the Song Army of Shangdang to a dead end!

When the Northern Wei Dynasty locks the north and south entrances of Shangdang County, it can completely trap the Shangdang Song Army to death...

Although some civil and military ministers have withdrawn from Jiexiu to Hedong, there is still Liu Yu's eldest son Liu Yifu in Shangdang County.

When the monarch just died, he abandoned his eldest son...

No one dares to take this charge!

Xie Hui didn't dare, and neither did Tan Daoji.

This has already involved the issue of loyalty to the monarch. If the two of them really did this, they would both be stabbed in the back after death!
But if they did not withdraw, there would be no natural defense system of the great river to resist Suolu. The Song army in Hanoi County would not be an opponent of the Northern Wei army at all, and would be driven to the river to feed fish at any time.

"Damn!"

Xie Hui punched the table angrily.

If I had known at the time, I would have preferred to stare at the charge of disobedience and take Liu Yifu away from the army!
"Xie Shizhong, what should we do now?"

Xie Hui took a deep breath: "I'll go back to the camp in She County again, and clarify the priorities with His Highness the King of Chu, and ask him to withdraw immediately!"

The implication of Xie Hui's words was that he had chosen to give up the [-] Song army.

"General Tan, I will take His Royal Highness the King of Chu back to Luoyang directly from Mengjin. It will take about five days to go back and forth. You must stick to Hanoi for five days! On the sixth day, no matter whether you have received my communication or not All news from His Royal Highness the King of Chu must cross the river to defend Luoyang!"

At that time, it is life and death.

Tan Daoji nodded heavily.

This is already the limit of what they can do.

Luoyang is the most important thing. If Luoyang is in the hands of the Northern Wei Dynasty...then Liu Song will be finished!
Xie Hui and Tan Daoji left in a hurry after their discussion.

At the same time, Song Jun in Guanzhong also encountered trouble.

The "Yongan Mansion Army" led by Mao Dezu stayed in the pass to defend.

The soldiers in these government troops are all natives of Guanzhong, and letting them defend Guanzhong can undoubtedly explode with greater energy.

The Yong'an government army only has 5000 people, and the way the government army survives determines its army size.That is, there are as many soldiers as there are fields.

Because of this, everyone in the government army is a strong man selected from a hundred, and there are no old, weak, sick and disabled people who come in and make up for it.

These five thousand soldiers were all wearing heavy armor and practicing with sickle guns against cavalry.

The so-called Sickle Hook Spear was inspired by Mao Dezu after he observed Liu Yizhen dealing with the Hu Xia cavalry a few years ago with a sickle tied to a long Ge.

This oddly shaped weapon is surprisingly useful against cavalry, so Mao Dezu simply chose it as the standard weapon of the Yong'an Army to guard against the Hu Xia cavalry.

On this day, the soldiers of the Yong'an Army were doing their daily drills when they saw a scout returning from the north in a hurry.

The crotch horse insisted on reaching the gate of the camp, but its feet gave way, and the scout on the horse fell off.

Seeing this, the surrounding comrades quickly helped each other up, but the scout struggled to get rid of the crowd and ran towards Mao Dezu's tent.

"General! General! Urgent military situation! He Lianbo led the whole country's soldiers to Xiaoguan!"

This news instantly shrouded everyone's minds like a dark cloud.

And a hundred miles to the north, groups of cavalry were preparing to go south to the pass with a chilling atmosphere.

He Lianbo looked towards the sky in the ranks, licked his lips with a fierce look on his face: "Guanzhong, I'm back again!"

The fiasco in Guanzhong last time has always been regarded as a disgrace by Helianbobo.

Now, he finally has a chance to avenge his shame.

And next to Helian Bobo is the prince Helian Gui.

Ever since He Lianchang was forced to become Liu Yizhen's "internal response" and brought huge losses to Hu Xia, Helian Gui's position as the crown prince has been extremely secure.

And Helian Gui has become a little calmer in the past few years of experience, he has begun to have the momentum of a superior, and finally learned to look at problems from a certain height.

He Liangui asked Helian Bobo hesitantly: "Father, will we attack Guanzhong at this time, will it completely anger Liu Yu?"

Hu Xiafang didn't know the news that Liu Yu had passed away, and he was still in awe of Liu Yu.

Moreover, the trade in the past few years has also greatly increased Hu Xia's national power. Helian Gui felt... In fact, it is quite good to be a vassal of Liu Yu in this way.

Anyway, the two sides don't have much life and death enmity, so it seems good to deal with the Northern Wei Dynasty together?
"madness!"

Unexpectedly, Helian Bobo directly reprimanded Helian Gui.

"Prince, you have to remember. If you are weak, you will be beaten."

"You won't be beaten...it's just that the other party doesn't want to beat you!"

Helian vigorously mentioned the example of a year ago to Helian Gui.

At that time, Chigan Ali wanted to unite with the Northern Wei Dynasty to put Liu Yizhen together, but Liu Yizhen used Guanzhong's trade to impose sanctions on Hu Xia, which almost prevented Hu Xia from choking to death!
From that time on, Helian Bobo knew that relying on trade was not reliable at all.

Once Hu Xia becomes dependent on trade, then Hu Xia is just a toy in Liu Yizhen's hands, making it round or flat depends entirely on Liu Yizhen's mood.

This is undoubtedly unacceptable to a hero like Helian Bobo!
and……

Although Helian Bobo had a bloody feud with the Northern Wei Dynasty, he also understood the reason why his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.

If Liu Yu's Northern Expedition really destroyed the Northern Wei Dynasty, would Hu Xia and Rouran still be able to live in such comfort?
He Lianbo also read Liu Song's "Northern Expedition Essay".

He knew that Liu Song would never allow a powerful Hu people to appear in the north, so he had to join hands with the Northern Wei Dynasty to defend against the enemy.

"Liu Yu was dragged in Hebei by Tuoba Si, and was unable to support Guanzhong for a while. As long as I wait to conquer Guanzhong and block Tongguan as soon as possible, even if Liu Yu comes back, it will be useless!"

At the same time, Helianbo also thought of a crazy strategy mentioned in Tuoba Si's letter to him——

He Lianbo occupied Guanzhong and cut off the Song army's retreat to the west.

Tuoba Si occupied Luoyang and cut off the Song army's retreat to the east.

Then trap Song Jun in the middle!

If this goal can be achieved...

A kind of light called "ambition" shone in Helian Bobo's eyes.

In that case, without Liu Yu, without Song Jun, who else in the world can stop him?

I...have the possibility of unifying Kyushu!
