I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 150 Zhou Yafu: I want to give you a chance

Another few days of strong attacks, the rebels under Liu Bi's command can be said to be more courageous with each battle;
On the other hand, in Suiyang City, the nearly [-] Liang army supported by Chang'an Chaotang and helped Liu Wu to form was already a little numb.

——The city of Suiyang was already stained red with blood, and covered with a thick layer of dust;

Liang Guo soldiers guarding the top of the city all had numb faces, standing in front of the wall stacks, wielding their swords mechanically.

Rolling logs, boulders, and even gold soup and other 'defense tools' have long been exhausted by dozens of days of fighting.

The Suiyang defense battle has entered hand-to-hand hand-to-hand combat...
"Zhou Yafu!"

"Your widow, you are at odds with me!!!"

On the turret at the head of the city, Liang Wang Liu Wu stared at the northeast direction outside Suiyang City, gritted his teeth and yelled a curse!
On the side of Liang Wang Liu Wu, the two generals defending the city: Han Anguo and Zhang Yu, all lowered their heads with stern expressions.

Zhou Yafu's main counter-insurgency had arrived at the Suiyang battlefield several days ago.

But after arriving at the battlefield, Zhou Yafu did not directly join the battle;
Instead, they passed by the north of Suiyang City, turned to the northeast, and finally stopped in Changyi, 150 miles northeast of Suiyang.

After Zhou Yafu's troops arrived in Changyi, Liang Wang Liu Wu immediately sent someone to ask Zhou Yafu for support.

But after the messenger he sent brought back an extremely annoying news, Liang Wang Liu Wu's heart sank completely...
"Zhou Yafu, what exactly do you want to do?"

"—Now, Suiyang is in the west, and the rebels are in the east. Every day, the battles take place on the east wall of Suiyang City!"

"But Zhou Yafu neither entered Suiyang nor went east to attack the rebels;"

"Instead, in the north of the battlefield, with solid walls and clear fields?"

"——The rebels want to go west, so how can they attack Changyi where Zhou Yafu is located?!"

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Yu finally couldn't hold back the anger in his chest, and asked such a question;
Beside Zhang Yu, another general, Han Anguo, had a thoughtful expression.

But before Han Anguo could speak, Liang Wang Liu Wu clenched his teeth angrily, and threw the long sword in his hand to the ground.

"He is fighting cowardly!"

"He just didn't dare to confront Liu Bi head-on, so he hid in Changyi!"

The roar sounded again, which attracted the attention of the surrounding Wu generals;
When they saw Liang Wang Liu Wu on the turret, his eyes widened angrily, pointing to the figure in the direction of Changyi, everyone let out a short sigh, and then refocused their attention on the rebels outside the city.

——Today alone, the Wu and Chu rebels under Liu Bi have launched more than a dozen waves of offensives...

And unlike the exhausted and out of breath General Liang Guo in Suiyang City, the rebels under Liu Bi's command took turns attacking the city.

In Suiyang City, nearly [-] guards were divided into two parts to alternately guard the city wall;

But outside Suiyang City, there was Liu Bi's army of nearly 40 troops, which was also divided into eight parts according to '5 people per part'!
In order to ensure that there would be no loopholes in the city wall, the nearly [-] Liang troops in Suiyang City could only fight on the wall alternately.

But even though it was an 'alternation', most of the time, half of the troops were guarding the city wall, and the other half just squatted down inside the city wall. Before they had time to catch their breath, the news of 'the city wall was in emergency' came from the top of the wall.

In desperation, the half of the troops that had just been replaced had to climb up the wall again and continue to fight the rebels.

What about the rebels?
——The same is one 'team' for every 5 people, but it works in eight shifts!
They usually launch a wave of offensives, and within half an hour of fighting, they can be called back to the rebel camp outside the city, and rest for most of the day!
The rebel soldiers who participated in the siege in the morning often participated in the siege for the second time that day, usually in the afternoon!
This led to the difference between the soldiers of Liang State in Suiyang City and the rebel generals outside the city walls. The mental outlook displayed during the battle is very different.

——Most of the rebels outside the city can eat and drink enough in the rear, recharge their batteries, and participate in battles twice a day for less than half an hour each time with a full mental state;

On the other hand, the defenders in the city were all too busy to touch the ground. From the moment of dawn, they basically had to fight until sunset.

If this situation only lasts for three to five days, then that's fine;
But so far, the defenders in Suiyang City have been fighting continuously for nearly a month under such a high load...
"King;"

"Today's battle is basically coming to an end."

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace and take a rest..."

On the turret, after much deliberation, Han Anguo, who finally understood Zhou Yafu's 'intention', only offered this persuasion.

After Han Anguo's persuasion, Zhang Yu's eyes, although subconsciously, fell on Liu Wu.

At this time, Liu Wu, from the appearance alone, can no longer see the demeanor of a "clan prince" at all...

——The armor on his body was stained red by spots of blood, and covered with a layer of dust, making Liu Wu inexplicably embarrassed;

On the originally heroic face, there are now two dark circles on the top;
Inside the eye sockets were a pair of bloodshot eyes.

If so, Liang Wang Liu Wu's brows did not show the slightest fear or the intention of retreating;
Yes, it's just a raging fighting spirit, and an inexplicable anger...

"Has the widow's blood book been sent to Chang'an?"

Hearing Han Anguo's persuasion, Liang Wang Liu Wu did not answer directly, but frowned and looked out of the city worriedly;

——At dusk, the rebel army outside the city was rushing towards Suiyang City again.

This will be the last offensive of the rebels today;
But only today.

Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and even every day before the end of the war, Suiyang City, where Liang Wang Liu Wu is located, will face fierce attacks from the rebels!
Relying on the city alone, there are less than [-] defenders who are already physically and mentally exhausted, Liang Wang Liu Wu, there is really no hope of victory...

"Sent out..."

"Today alone, Your Majesty has sent six blood letters to Chang'an..."

Looking at the rebels slowly approaching the city wall outside the city, Han Anguo couldn't help but take a deep breath. While arranging his armor, he replied to Liang Wang Liu Wu.

But Liang Wang Liu Wu, when Han Anguo and Zhang Yu left the turret one after another and trot towards the sides of the turret, he slowly bent down and picked up the sword that he had thrown on the ground.

yah~~~
With a stern expression, he lowered his head, cut off a piece of yellow-white cloth from the inside of the hem of his battle robe, and spread the piece of cloth on the wall in front of him;
Pick up the sword again, and swipe on your finger!
A moment later, another battle broke out at the head of Suiyang City;
At the same time, another blood letter asking for help was sent from Suiyang, the capital of Liang, and sent to Chang'an alternately by Yiqi...
·
"Seven ways?"

"In one day, seven blood letters were issued???"

Late at night, Changyi, Taiwei's big tent.

Knowing that today, Liang Wang Liu Wu sent seven blood letters asking for help in Chang'an, Taiwei Zhou Yafu's face only showed a slight hint of joking.

"King Liang, this is a mess~"

"There are [-] troops stationed in Suiyang City;"

"Although there are nearly 40 rebels under Liu Bi's command, they can't spread out under the city of Suiyang at all, and can only attack the city alternately."

"So the difference in strength between the two sides can be ignored."

"As for the combat effectiveness, what the King of Liang has under his command is the well-drilled army of the Kingdom of Liang;"

"The people under Liu Bi's command are the people who were forcibly confiscated from Wu and Chu..."

Talking to himself, Zhou Yafu finally shook his head and smiled, and gave his own conclusion to the generals in the account.

"Sui Yang, nothing will go wrong."

"There are generals like Han Anguo and Zhang Yu, there are [-] troops defending the city, and there are piles of food that are inexhaustible, which are at least the defense equipment specially allocated by the government;"

"If it doesn't take a year or so, Liu Bi, it's impossible to attack Suiyang."

Zhou Yafu's firm tone also reassured the generals in the tent;
It's just that there are still a few young generals who seem to be worried about the situation in Suiyang.

"Taiwei;"

"If the situation in Suiyang is really that optimistic, King Liang wouldn't send out seven blood letters in one day to ask Chang'an for support, right?"

"In case Suiyang is really at the point of life and death, then the Taiwei will not send troops to rescue..."

Seeing the young general say something with worry on his face, he stopped quietly, and checked Zhou Yafu's expression.

After confirming that Zhou Yafu did not show any displeasure because of his doubts, the young general expressed all the worries in his heart without reservation.

"In this rebellion, Liu Bi's rebel army marched from east to west, heading towards Hangu Pass;"

"And Suiyang is the first obstacle preventing the rebels from advancing westward."

"Right now, the rebels are attacking Suiyang fiercely. Although there are enough troops and food in Suiyang city, with hundreds of thousands of rebels attacking alternately, the situation that King Liang will face may not be too optimistic."

"In the event that Suiyang is finally captured by Liu Bi's rebels, the way for the rebels to advance westward will be unimpeded;"

"The Taiwei's troops stationed in Changyi can't stop the rebels from advancing westward at all."

"—and in Suiyang City, there is King Liang."

"In case something goes wrong with the King of Liang, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother of the East Palace..."

Hearing the reminder from the young general, Zhou Yafu still did not show any displeasure.

Instead of putting on a look of 'Do you have a role to speak? ', but raised his head with a smile on his face, and nodded slightly to the young general with eyes full of approval.

"Deng Duwei's analysis is very reasonable."

"—If Suiyang is captured by Liu Bi, then my act of stationing troops in Changyi will be completely meaningless."

"But Captain Deng probably still doesn't know enough about the fortification of Suiyang City..."

After saying the words with ease, Zhou Yafu couldn't help but sit up a little bit, looking at the eyes of everyone in the tent, but there was still a faint smile.

"As early as the time of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Liang Guo had already begun to receive the emphatic deployment of the court."

"In order to help Liang Guo form an army sufficient to resist the rebellious princes, the first emperor and His Majesty pardoned Liang Wang, and he can have [-] soldiers!"

"Furthermore, the [-] soldiers were carefully selected by the King of Liang and practiced by Lieutenant Zhang Yu for many years before they finally got the elite;"

"Last year, when King Liang returned to Suiyang from Chang'an, the Shaofu allocated tens of thousands of armors again to strengthen Liang's military power."

"—Counting all kinds of materials dispatched by the Shaofu before, there are at least [-] fully armored soldiers in Suiyang City today!"

"In addition to these [-] elite soldiers, there are more than ten bed crossbows, more than a hundred rhubarb crossbows, and countless bows and arrows."

"On the other hand, Liu Bi's rebel army looks mighty, and has reached nearly 40 troops. Liu Bi even called it a 'military army', but in fact, most of them were just drawn from the countryside and the ridges of the fields. mob."

"The rebel army has more than 40 soldiers and horses, and I'm afraid they can't even make up [-] soldiers."

Smiling confidently, he told all the defensive strength of Suiyang City, Zhou Yafu raised his head with a smile, and looked at the generals in the tent.

"That's why I said: Liu Bi, it is impossible to break through Suiyang without spending a year and a half."

"—Because Suiyang is not something that Liu Bi's troops and strength can break through;"

"If Liu Bi wants to attack Suiyang, the only way is to wait."

"Wait until the defenders in Suiyang City are physically and mentally exhausted, their morale is slackened, and they are tormented by the long-lasting battle, their eyes are blind and their hands are weak. Liu Bi can wait for the opportunity to attack Suiyang."

As he spoke, Zhou Yafu turned his head slightly to look at Captain Deng who asked a question.

"As for King Liang's safety, whether it will attract the concern of the Queen Mother, this is something that we, the leading generals, should be concerned about."

"—The country is facing danger. All discussions and decisions on military policy must take the ancestral temple and the country as the primary considerations."

"In the face of the stability of the ancestral temple and the country, the life and death of Liang Wang is really not very important..."

After saying something in a deep voice, and vaguely expressing the suggestion of "don't worry about the queen mother and the king of Liang", Zhou Yafu stood up from the first seat with a relaxed expression, and looked at the generals in the tent with a calm expression.

"My plan, I can't tell you for the time being;"

"Everyone just needs to know: My plan has been approved by His Majesty, and has been affirmed by the court."

"If you are still willing to trust me and Zhou Yafu, then stop worrying about Suiyang and King Liang."

"According to my order, dig deep trenches in Changyi, build high fortifications, and always guard against Liu Bi's rebels. That's enough."

"—Be especially careful: No matter how provocative or scolding the rebels are, the troops stationed in Changyi must never attack!"

"You can only stand firm when the rebels attack Changyi!"

When it came to the end, Zhou Yafu's face suddenly turned serious, and his tone of voice was undeniably strong!

After looking around firmly at everyone in the tent, Zhou Yafu took a deep breath and grinned suddenly.

"This rebellion, I am the commander;"

"Everyone, you are the generals dispatched by me."

"I can assure you: within three months at most, this rebellion will be suppressed."

"Everyone who accepts my dispatch and abides by the military orders I issue will get everything they want."

"—Including, but not limited to Wu Xun!"

Hearing Zhou Yafu's words, all the generals in the tent raised their heads one after another, and their faces flushed red!
At this moment, the queen mother and the king of Liang were all forgotten by the generals in the tent.

The longing for the future, the desire for success and fame, all turned into a promise after a moment.

"As ordered!"

"Don't dare to disobey the military order of the Taiwei, dare not live up to the great trust of His Majesty!"

Looking at the generals in front of him, full of anger, who had promised him, Zhou Yafu only smiled and nodded.

"I have nothing else to tell you."

"Gong Gaohou stayed behind;"

"Everyone else, just go away."

With a word of indifference, the order of the generals in the tent was naturally retreated, leaving only one general who was stout and whose facial features were obviously different from those of the Han people.

After everyone left, they saw the general who obviously had Hu people's blood come forward, bowed his hands to Zhou Yafu, and said in a low voice, "Taiwei, but what's the matter, do you want me to do it?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yafu turned around with a chuckle and came to Kanyu behind the head of the throne;
With his back to the general, he looked at Kanyu for a while before Zhou Yafu waved behind him.

"I remember Gong Gaohou, he grew up in the grassland, right?"

Asking softly, the general's expression suddenly darkened;
After pondering for a while, cloudy and indefinite, he replied in a murmur-like tone, "My father is Han Wangxin."

"Back then, my father betrayed the Han Dynasty, surrendered to the Huns Shanyu Modun, and fled to the grassland."

"When I ran to Tuidang City, my mother gave birth to me, so my father named me Han Tuidang."

"After that, my father died fighting in the border area;"

"As for me, I grew up in the grassland since I was a child, and returned to the Great Wall with my mother when I was the first emperor..."

Hearing a little discomfort in Han Tuidang's tone, Zhou Yafu smiled nonchalantly, turned sideways, and nodded to Han Tuidang with a smile.

"My father is Zhou Bo, Marquis of Jiangli."

"During the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, he and Gong Gaohou's father were very good friends."

"Even after your father fled to the grassland, my father often sent letters to your father, persuading him to return to the Han Dynasty."

"If you look into it, Gong Gaohou and I actually have some relationship..."

The obviously polite words caused Han Tiaodang's expression to become even weirder;
Looking at Zhou Yafu, he wished he could write a sentence directly: You might as well make your words clearer.

Seeing this, Zhou Yafu laughed stiffly, and stopped beating around the bush.

He just stretched out his hand, and pressed his fingers heavily on an inconspicuous black spot on Kanyu!

"Huaisikou!"

"—Whether this rebellion can be put down, the key lies here!"

"I have sent Luoyang hero Jumeng to find a small road that can quickly reach Huaisikou from Changyi."

"As long as we find this path, the rebellion will be put down, and it will be just around the corner."

With a stern expression on his face, Zhou Yafu finally turned sideways;

Looking at Han Tuidang, there was even a hint of scrutiny and a solemnity that seemed to be absent.

"I heard that Gong Gaohou grew up in the grasslands and knows very well about cavalry warfare."

"Since he understands the cavalry's combat methods, Gong Gaohou should also be able to command the cavalry to complete some tasks that are difficult or even impossible for ordinary people to complete."

"So, I want to give Gong Gaohou a chance."

"——a chance to become famous, wash away the sins of the ancestors, and revive the glory of the Han family..."
