However, Liu Yu felt that he had lost to Wei Wentong once. Even if he left Yingchuan, he had to go back to this game. However, if he wanted to kill an army that was stronger than him on a large scale, with the current level of technology, there was really no better way than to flood and fire.
Tina really wanted to make a few mortars for fun, but she was a fifth-grade primary school graduate. She didn't even know how to make a low-quality gun, let alone a mortar.
These days, Liu Yu had set his sights on explosives. Because explosives were already in existence during the Sui Dynasty, they had not been used in the military yet. Therefore, Liu Yu was prepared to be the first to use explosives in the military.
"Reporting ~~~ Your Majesty, Wei Wentong's army has already reached the northern suburbs.”
"Alright, is everyone ready?”
"I'm ready!"
"Everyone, move out."
The 3,000 cavalry moved extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they had already left Yingchuan City. However, Liu Yu did not dare to head north at once. Instead, he bypassed Wei Wentong's army and headed towards Rongyang. Even though this detour would delay the cavalry's journey by two days.
On one hand, he could avoid the Sui soldiers, and on the other hand, he could create the illusion that he was preparing to attack Chang 'an.
As for Yingchuan City, before leaving, Liu Yu had buried a total of 300 catties of explosives on the city gate. Although these explosives would not wipe out Wei Wentong's entire army, they could still teach Wei Wentong a lesson.
Wu Tianxi rode his horse to Liu Yu and asked,"Big Brother, are you not planning to attack Chang 'an?”
"Do you think we can break into Chang 'an Fortress with 3,000 people?" asked Liu Yu.”
Wu Tianxi was silent for a moment." But, Big Brother, I think we have to fight even if we can't. Otherwise, we'll look like cowards."”
Liu Yu looked at Xiong Kuohai on the left and Wu Tianxi on the right. He sighed helplessly and said,""I think you know that attacking Chang 'an Fortress with only 3,000 people is no different from sending yourself to death. Instead of doing this, it would be better to find a quieter place to recruit soldiers. When the situation is unstable, we will lead the army to attack.”
Wu Tianxi sighed." Although you're right, there are millions of Sui soldiers in the world now. We only have 3,000 cavalry. Under what circumstances can we find a safe place?" Big brother, you have to know that Sui Bing is not an idiot. They won't wait for us to occupy the territory, nor will they watch us divide the world.”
Xiong Kuohai also nodded." Yes, Big Brother. It's better to attack Chang 'an City than to be killed by the bandits. Even if we fail, at least we'll have a chance."”
Liu Yu shook his head and said," You have all calculated a little. Black and white are two places that will always exist in this world. Since we can't live in the white, we can naturally live in the black. The owner of the Two Virtues Manor in Jizhou, Shan Xiong Xin, is also a person who likes to get to know heroes. If we get Shan Xiong Xin's help, we won't have to worry about not achieving great things.”
In fact, Liu Yu had already thought it through. Since he could not occupy land and become king now, he would occupy the mountain and become king. At most, he would learn from Song Jiang in the Water Margins and hang the banner of carrying out justice on behalf of heaven. He could also attract a group of outlaws.
Rongyang City!
Late at night, Li Yuan had just finished reading and was about to turn off the lights when Li Shimin quietly walked in and said,"Father, the defeat is reported. Wei Wentong had just arrived at Yingchuan City when the city walls collapsed. Although there were only three to five hundred casualties, Wei Wentong himself was among them.”
Not good! " It seems like Liu Yu is preparing to attack Rongyang again," Li Yuan said with a frown." We should be prepared."”
"Father, according to the latest news, Liu Yu is preparing to attack Tongguan." Li Shimin shook his head.”
" Hahaha!" Li Yuan raised his head and laughed loudly." Although the general of Tongguan is not very capable, there are nearly 100,000 troops of Yujuluo near Tongguan. If Liu Yu dares to attack Tongguan, the Longevity Star will hang himself. Does he think he has too long a life?"”
In fact, Li Shimin also knew that Liu Yu would not attack Tongguan. Tongguan and Chang 'an were heavily guarded, and Wu Jianzhang, Yang Su, Yu Juluo, Han Qinhu, and other first-rate talents of the Great Sui were all there. If Liu Yu went, it would be no different from courting death.
"If I were Liu Yu, it would be safer to enter Jizhou. If I'm not wrong, Liu Yu is already on his way to Rongyang City." Li Shiming shook his head.”
"Alright, then." Li Yuan shook his head and said,"How do you think we can let him enter Jizhou?"”
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up,"Father, do you want the throne?"”
Li Yuan nodded." Of course. That's why I need Liu Yu and his men to enter Jizhou. I can also use their influence to ask the Emperor for military power. As my son, you should know that military power is the most important among all powers."”
"I understand. Wait for my good news, Father!”
"What do you plan to do?"
"Open a hole in the place we are defending.”
Li Yuan stood up and waved his hand." No. Not only can we not pretend to let Liu Yu enter Jizhou, but we also need our men to resist the attack of Liu Yu's thousands of cavalry."”
At first, Li Shiming was stunned, but then he nodded in understanding. If they deliberately let the rebel soldiers into Jizhou, if this was known, there was an 80% chance that the entire family would be executed. If they fought to the death, although they might be completely annihilated in the end, they would gain the favor of the Emperor. At that time, the Emperor might order ten times the number of troops.
The Li father and son were right, but Liu Yu did not think so. Even if Rongyang City was breached, there were still tens of thousands of troops stationed by Luo Yi in the north of the city. The Li father and son were already difficult enough to deal with. With Luo Yi, who was not much weaker than them, there was basically no need to fight this battle.
The intersection of Yuzhou and Jizhou was the Yellow River. Liu Yu had already made up his mind to dig up the dam of the Yellow River and let the water of the Yellow River pour into Yuzhou. No matter how many soldiers you had, under the swallowing of the water, Yuzhou would quickly become a swamp.
However, after Liu Yu told him about the plan, Xiong Kuohai immediately flew into a rage." Big Brother, if we do this, how are we any different from those dog officials?" I, Lao Xiong, am speaking here. You can die, I can die, but I can't let the people die.”
Wu Tianxi also nodded." That's right, Big Brother. We can't be animals like the government troops. We can't dig the Yellow River dam."”
Liu Yu fell silent. Looking at his brothers who had changed their minds, Liu Yu was annoyed. Victory and defeat were at stake, but he did not expect to be opposed by all of them.
Pa---
Wu Tianxi slapped his thigh and shouted,""I have an idea. We can't dig the Yellow River's mouth, but we can use this excuse to scare Li Yuan and his son. If they say no, or attack us halfway, we can send our brothers to dig the dam.”
