Chapter 202 Raising Tigers

At this time, Lu Qiang is also studying with Wang Zhenwei, Wang Dan and others what conditions Liu Yu's surrender will be.

Wang Zhen sneered and said, "Isn't it a little too obvious that Liu Yu said he would surrender? Is there no one in Jingzhou?"

Wang Dan shook his head slightly and said, "I think I can accept Liu Yu's surrender, so as to avoid the damage of soldiers, but Liu Yu is afraid that he is also conditional. In addition, how should I settle Liu Yu after surrendering him?"

Since Xie Wangzu went to see Liu Muzhi, Lu Qiang has been thinking about this problem. He is more inclined to surrender Liu Yu's army. As Wang Dan said, he killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 himself. After the war, whether in Jiangnan or Jiangbei, the most lacking now is population.

Although Liu Yu is now trapped in several cities, there are still 100,000 people. Some of these people can be incorporated into the army in the future, and some can also return to the locality. With the return of these labor, it will greatly improve the productivity of various places and play a great role in restoring domestic vitality.

But as Wang Dan said, how should Liu Yu and the conditions proposed by him be placed? Liu Yu is not stupid. Obviously, he will not run to his own hands and let himself slaughter.

after pondering for a moment, his eyes suddenly fell on the war report of Xuzhou, which was the report of Liu Yi's occupation of Xuzhou before.

"With Liu Yu as the governor of Xuzhou, he is responsible for cleaning up the remnants of Liu Yi. There is a blockade of Xu Dao on the sea, and the inland is supplemented by a large army on the periphery of Xuzhou. Do you think Liu Yu will agree to this condition?"

When Lu Qiang's thoughtful idea slowly came out of his mouth, the people below were stunned.

Wang Zhenwei took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, with all due respect, is it not the same as raising a tiger? Liu Yu is ambitious and will stay in Xuzhou peacefully?

Wang Dan thought for a moment, but said, "Your Majesty's plan is very good. With Liu Yu's behavior, it is not easy to kill the family and exterminate the clan, but His Majesty not only does not kill, but still aggravates it. This move is not for Liu Yu, a wolf ambitious person, to be grateful, but for 100,000 soldiers in Beifu. As long as they lay down their weapons, they will be supplemented by corresponding strategies in the future. Naturally, he will become His Majesty's good people. After a long time, even if Liu Yu has any ideas, I'm afraid that no one will follow him again."

Wang Dan's words were talking about Zhonglu Qiangxin and nodded, "Wait for Lord Xie to come back later. Let's see what he says?"

As soon as the words fell, he saw Xie Wangzu come in quickly and bowed to salute Lu Qiang, and said, "Liu Yu wants to surrender on the condition that he take 20,000 horses away. He wants to go to Yingchuan County, which is located at the border between our Jin Kingdom and Qin and Yan. According to Liu Muzhi, it is to guard the northern border for your majesty, but the old minister doesn't think it's not that simple. ”

It's similar to Lu Qiang's thought, but Lu Qiang would rather destroy him than let him go to northern Xinjiang.

Since Murong Yun ascended the throne, the State of Yan has never been stable and has been full of himself. Do you have time to take care of Liu Yu? Although Yao Xing has a little ability, he is obviously not Liu Yu's opponent. If Liu Yu is allowed to go there, won't it give him room to play freely? That's really the return of the tiger to the mountain.

After Lu Qiang told Xie Wangzu what he had just thought, he finally said, "Let Liu Muzhi go back and tell Liu Yu that he can take away 10,000 troops. This is my last bottom line. There is no room for negotiation, and I will not wait indefinitely. He has three days to consider it, so don't talk about it again after that. ”

The army has become a siege, which is equivalent to cutting off Liu Yu's grain path. Liu Yu's 100,000 army eats horses every day. I don't know how much grain and grass it will be spent. Now talking to you, it is already very face-shame-off. If you get an inch, it will be shameless.

Lu Qiang said that, of course, there is also water in it. To give Liu Yu three days of consideration, it does not mean that he will start to attack three days later, but three days later, he will not negotiate with Liu Yu, cut off his food and fodder, and let his 100,000 troops collapse without fighting.

In fact, the matter of Yingchuan County was completely temporarily conceived by Liu Muzhi. With the current border, Yingchuan County is located at the border of the Three Kingdoms. It seems to be in crisis, but it can take advantage of the psychology of mutual defense of the three countries to slowly develop.

The so-called crisis is the coexistence of dangers and opportunities. Unfortunately, although his calculation was good, he was still seen by Lu Qiang at a glance.

Xuzhou is not far from the State of Yan, and Liu Yu's army has just withdrawn from there, but Liu Yu's troops were strong before, and he was not afraid of the State of Yan or Liu Yi at all.

It doesn't work now. Liu Yi has 20,000 horses. At the same time, Xuzhou has just experienced several wars. The people's livelihood has withered, and it has become a problem for the people to support themselves. Is there any spare capacity to support the army?

And this is just one of them. It is not impossible for the 10,000 elite Beifu army to destroy Liu Yi's 20,000 miscellaneous troops, but after that, it is bound to be poor in dealing with Liu Yi's army that has been driven back to the sea.

Imagine once you go to such a place, what else can you talk about about a comeback?

But it's even worse if you don't go. Now no matter what Lu Qiang'an's heart is, he always promises to let you take away 10,000 troops. Three days later, I'm afraid you can't even take a hair away.

After Liu Muzhi came back and conveyed Lu Qiang's words to Liu Yu, Liu Yu didn't say a word for a long time. He sat there in a daze, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking?

Liu Yu just received another report. Liu Yi rolled up his sleeves and was about to take advantage of his decisive battle with Lu Qiang, but he retreated back for some reason. Now the Jingzhou army has firmly controlled Jiankang City with the help of the royal family and officials of Jiankang.

Then Zhu Chaoshi led a Jingzhou army and took Yangzhou with the hidden help of Yangzhou gentry and rich families, and completely cut off the food and fodder of the Beifu army. In this way, there was really no need to fight this battle. The Jingzhou army only needed to besiege him to death.

This time, even the impulsive Zhao Zigui didn't say anything. Obviously, he felt the severity of the situation.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Yu said to Liu Muzhi in a hoarse voice, "What do you have?"

Liu Muzhi sighed secretly and said, "I want to give four words to the general, that is, lying on firewood and tasting gall."

Liu Yu understands what Liu Muzhi means, but he is really unwilling to bow his head to Lu Qiang like this! He waved his hand and said, "You go down first!" Leave me alone"

Everyone understood Liu Yu's mood and bowed and retreated.

Liu Daogui gently pulled Liu Muzhi's sleeves and motioned him to follow him to the tent on the other side.

Liu Muzhi knew that he had something to ask, so he followed him.

"Brother Daohe, do you think Lu Qiang will really let us go?"

This question is really a little difficult to answer. Liu Muzhi pondered for a moment before saying, "Guan Luqiang's previous actions and what he said has never truthed. Although he sent us to Xuzhou with no good intentions, it's better than waiting here to die. I believe the general will also figure this out."

"How will Lu Qiang settle these troops?"

Liu Muzhi understands why Liu Daogui asked this question. You should know that Lu Qiang killed 10,000 Beifu Army in Xunyang before, and there was no one left, which was called a cruel one.

Shake his head and said, "Don't worry about this. In front of the iron war slaughter of the Jingzhou army, Lu Qiang is just taking revenge. The first evil has been eliminated, and the soldiers who participated in the massacre are almost dead. Lu Qiang's anger in his heart will not kill the prisoners."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help looking at Liu Daogui doubtfully: "Why did Daogui ask this?"

Liu Daogui smiled bitterly and said, "There is no need to worry about me. The general and I are related. I will not betray the general. To be honest, rumors have spread in the army."

So the soldiers have been informed?

Liu Mu's heart is even more shocked. The reason why the army can persist until today depends on one heart. If the military mind is confused, everything will be over.

The next day, before dawn, Liu Yu ordered someone to find Liu Muzhi, and when Liu Muzhi entered the account and saw Liu Yu, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Over the night, Liu Yu seemed to be in his teens. His hair on his temples had only a few white hair, but now it has completely turned white, and the wrinkles on his face are faint. I don't know that he will really regard Liu Yu as a 70s and 80s, and Liu Yu is actually less than 50.

"General..."

Liu Muzhi only shouted, and tears couldn't help falling down.

Liu Yu waved his hand, then stood up and gave a deep salute to Liu Muzhi. After stopping Liu Muzhi's dodging, he said, "Whether Yu can pass or not, we must rely on Tao and brother. Yu swore here to the name of heaven. If the mountain rises again in the future, the world will be shared with Tao and sharing."

Liu Mu wants to assist Liu Yu to achieve hegemony. Although he is forced by Lu Qian in front of him, how can he know that he can't revenge like the king of Yue?

He knelt down and sobbed, "Ming Gong, don't worry, Tao and ten thousand deaths will help Ming Gong rise again and reproduce the former glory of our northern government"

Liu Yu's tears also fell down, pulled up Liu Muzhi, and then accompanied him to walk to the camp gate, helped him on the horse with his own hands, and kept seeing him run towards the Jingzhou camp before turning back to the headquarters of the Central Army.

It seems that the successful hero will have this set of tricks to buy people's hearts, but they are often the fastest to turn against each other.

After calling Liu Daogui and Zhao Zigui's two confidants, they ordered their own soldiers to be on alert, and no one could approach them.

"You two immediately choose 10,000 reliable brothers and be ready to go with us. Don't let the brothers of the other battalion know about this matter. Remember"

Liu Daogui couldn't help saying, "I'm afraid this kind of thing can't be hidden, right?"

Liu Yu's face was a little gloomy and said, "This is just a stopgap measure. In case the news leaks and the soldiers mutini, how can we leave the camp?"

Liu Daogui understands that the army is still in a state of complete alert, and once they know the news of Liu Yu's surrender, it is likely to be prone to collapse. Without the protection of the army, what else can they use to protect themselves?

After bowing to Zhao Zigui and agreeing, he turned around and strode out.

Looking at the backs of the two, Liu Yu couldn't help gritting his teeth and meditating: "Surnamed Lu, I hope you can believe what you say"
