Chapter 2607 Chi You fights against the heroes of Shu Han (Part 1)


    Chapter 2604: Chi You fights against the heroes of Shu Han (Part 1)


    Although Liu Yu has set his heart rate for the 200,000 army to move south and give priority to dealing with Chiyou on the southern front, he also needs to make some pre-war preparations.


    First of all, the envoys of Chu and Ming countries and the senior executives of hundreds of families were still in Chengdu, so they must be sent away first.


    Secondly and most importantly, that is, the selection of generals to go to war.


    The Southern Barbarian King Chi You is too strong, and only Xing Tian, ??the most powerful general in Shu Han, can match him, so Xing Tian must be unable to miss this battle.


    But Xing Tian alone cannot win Chiyou. It is best to bring Kong Peng with you. After all, Kong Peng is also a top ten master in the list of powerful generals.


    But the situation on the northern front is not optimistic. If the Qin Dynasty launches the battle to climb the city, if Yang Jian, Long Qi and others participate in it personally, it will obviously be impossible to stop it by relying on Liu Er alone.


    So, Liu Yu wanted to leave Kong Peng on the northern line just in case.


    But without Kong Peng''s words, Xing Tian could not deal with Chi You, let alone Gonggong and Zhurong.


    In fact, in addition to Kong Peng, Liu Yu also has a suitable candidate in his heart, that is, the abandoned disciple of the Yin and Yang family, the leader of the Sun Sect, and Lu Ya.


    Lu Ya was originally very moved by the win over Shu Han, but he broke out from Chu halfway.


    Lu Xun, the deputy of Chu envoy Liu Qi, learned that Lu Ya was also here to attend the ceremony and had not joined Shu Kingdom yet, encouraged Liu Qi to contact and win over Lu Ya.


    The Lu family in Jiangdong is actually Lu Ya''s own family. However, Lu Jun and Taiyi''s generation never returned after leaving the family. There was no mention of Lu Ya after that, nor did he know any grudges, so Lu Yu didn''t know that he had other relatives in the world.


    After learning that he was born into the Lu family, and the Lu family was extremely powerful in Chu State, and both the family and Chu State valued it very much, Lu Ya''s sense of scale naturally became more inclined to Chu State.


    Liu Yu was naturally anxious when he learned about Chu''s poaching behavior. After all, it would be fine if he was an ordinary talent, but Lu Ya was a peerless general who was no less than Kong Peng.


    Losing this top general is still a huge loss for Shu Kingdom.


    So Liu Yu personally took action to ask Lu Yi about his well-being and win over him in various ways. Although his behavior also moved Lu Yi, he was more embarrassed.


    From the heart, Lu Ya wanted to go to Chu State, after all, the Lu family was in Chu State.


    But Liu Yu was so kind to him. Such a respectful and polite person made him embarrassed to reject Liu Yu.


    Liu Yu didn''t know the relationship between Lu Ya and the Lu family. After seeing Lu Ya''s reaction, he thought he had been influenced.


    But at this moment, the State of Chu did something that Liu Yu couldn''t bear, that was, Liu Qi actually had contact with Hou Qing, and Hou Qing did not refuse.


    Now Liu Yu couldn''t sit still. After all, Hou Qing is his biggest ace. Once Hou Qing leaves him, he may not even be able to sleep well.


    So is it possible for Hou Qing to leave Shu and enter Chu? Possible, and very likely.


    Liu Yu used the problem to solve Liu Bian. Although he did it perfectly and left no evidence, even if King Xing Tian was deceived, he might not have been able to deceive an old monster like Hou Qing.


    Several times, Liu Yu discovered that Hou Qing looked at him with a strange look, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his dissatisfaction, as if he had guessed it and really thought it was.


    This scared Liu Yu. He didn''t dare to meet Houqing alone, but he had to meet him. Every time Liu Yu met Houqing, he felt like he was feeling uncomfortable.


    Liu Yu felt that even if Houqing had no evidence, he should have guessed that he had done it himself to kill Liu Bian. The reason why he kept silent and did not tell others was just that he was considering the overall situation.


    Hou Qing took the overall situation into consideration and did not expose Liu Yu in public. After all, Shu Han needed Liu Yu, but his dissatisfaction with Liu Yu had reached an unconcealed level.


    It is precisely because of this that Liu Yu has no doubt that Hou Qing would give up on himself and instead support Liu Xiu of Chu.


    Houqing was really important to Shu Han. Once he left Shu, Liu Yu would not only not even be able to sleep well, but also might not even be so obedient.


    Therefore, when Chu State poached Houqing, it had already touched Liu Yu''s reverse scale.


    This can no longer be considered a stab in the back, but a stab in the openness, so how can Liu Yu not be angry?


    Chu is the only two ally of Shu Han. Liu Yu had just become emperor. As an ally, Liu Xiu embarrassed him. Even Shu and Chu are so intrigue. How can they unite other forces to fight against Qin?


    As soon as he thought of this, Liu Yu was a little discouraged, but he quickly cheered up.


    Liu Xiu''s **** is just a king, and it is understandable that he does not know the general, but as the new emperor of the Han Dynasty, he cannot know the general, and he cannot know the general, with Liu Yu.


    After thinking about it, Liu Yu decided to have an open and honest conversation with Houqing. He must dispel Houqing''s dissatisfaction with him and let Houqing continue to stay in Shu.


    Although Liu Yu failed to resolve Hou Qing''s dissatisfaction with him in this conversation, the two of them were initially intimate.


    Houqing promised Liu Yu that he would not leave Shu Kingdom to other countries until Shu Han showed obvious defeat, and this was enough for Liu Yu.


    But what Liu Yu didn''t expect was that he had just dealt with Houqing, and Lu Ya was also dealt with by Lu Xun.


    Liu Qi received a letter from Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu promised that as long as Lu Ya came to Chu, he would be appointed as General of the North and Prefect of Guiyang, and the most important thing was to support the Sun Cult to preach in Chu.


    Liu Xiu''s various promises all show one thing, that is, he attaches importance to Lu Ya, and these promises are not unpleasant, so it is difficult for Lu Ya not to be moved.


    Finally, under Lu Xun''s full statement, Lu Ya was determined to surrender to the State of Chu, but before he surrendered to Chu, he was also ready to help Shu defeat the Southern Barbarians first, as a reward for Liu Yu''s various courtesy of him.


    On the same day, Lu Ya expressed his attitude to Liu Yu, and the general meaning was: Sorry, you are a good person, but we are not suitable. After hearing this, Liu Yu was so heartbroken that he couldn''t cry. He tried hard to win over Lu Ya for so long, but the fat meat at his mouth was cheaper.


    However, Lu Ya was willing to help Shu Han deal with the Southern Barbarians, which was rewarded, and Liu Yu''s efforts were not in vain.


    Although Liu Xiu poached Lu Ya, Liu Yu was extremely dissatisfied, there was no way. Who made Chu the only two ally of Shu Han? What''s more, Chu the next time he would have to deal with the Southern Barbarians.


    When Liu Qi, the chief envoy of Chu, and Lu Xun, learned that Liu Yu was interested in the Chu State, they actually had no hope for this idea. After all, it is known that the King of Chu was not interested in the barbarian land, and the Southern Barbarians who held revenge were not easy to mess with.


    There is no need for Chu to offend the Southern Barbarians for Shu. Unless the Shu army defeated the south this time and was about to reach the verge of destruction, it is unlikely that Chu would send troops to help Shu.


    Seeing Liu Qi and Lu Xun''s expressions, Liu Yu knew that it was not easy to invite the Chu army, but he still wanted to try it, so he sent Zhang Song and Chu envoy back to Chu State to lobby Liu Xiu to send troops.


    Later, Liu Yu ordered the three generals Kong Peng, Zhang Yi and Zhuo Ying to command the remaining 20,000 elite troops. If Yangping Pass could not support it, he would immediately support Hanzhong.


    In fact, in addition to the 250,000 main forces and 200,000 new recruits, there is also a warable army in Shu Han, that is, the troops of Li Siyuan, the King of Longxi who is stationed in two counties in central and western Han.


    After the surrender of Li Tang, the other Li Tang surrendered were all incorporated by Liu Yu, and after all, the Shu army suffered a considerable loss after the war with the Qin Dynasty.


    But the 30,000 Li Tang surrendered troops in Li Siyuan''s hands were not incorporated by Liu Yu, and this was also one of the conditions for his surrender.


    This also caused Li Siyuan to have a very special status in Shu Han. He was the only royal title under the emperor, but he was also a small warlord who relied on Shu Han. Even Liu Yu could not take care of the two counties under his jurisdiction.


    After Liu Yu became emperor, he still respected Li Siyuan as the king and did not deprive Li Siyuan of his military power:


    First, I really can’t find any good opportunities;


    Second, Li Siyuan''s location is very important, and he doesn''t want to force Li Siyuan to rebel;


    Third, Li Siyuan is very obedient. Whether it is fighting or otherwise, he will obey orders with just one order.


    It is precisely because of the above three points that Liu Yu can tolerate Li Siyuan''s existence.


    Liu Yu did not transfer Li Siyuan to the south this time, mainly because he was worried about an accident in Hanzhong. After all, if Yangpingguan could not hold on, there would be no need for Liu Yu to order, and Li Siyuan would take the initiative to support Yangpingguan.


    After making all the preparations, Liu Xiu personally led an army of 200,000 to the south, and the lineup of his generals was extremely luxurious, including: Xing Tian, ??Xiahou Ying, Xu Shu, Wu Lan, Meng Da, Gao Pei, Ling Bao, Li Keyong, Xiao Sheng, Shi Jianyan, Shi Kuangyi, Shi Kuanghan, Xiong Fuchu, Xiong Qi, Lu Ya, etc.;


    Since Chiyou''s troops divided into three groups to attack Shu, the southern battlefield was divided into three units, and all three battlefields were in a hurry, Liu Yu also divided the 200,000 army into three groups.


    The middle army was naturally dominated by Liu Yu, leading an army of 140,000, as well as generals such as Xing Tian, ??Lu Ya, Li Keyong, etc. to support Yizhou County.


    The Eastern Army, with Meng Da as the main general and Xu Shu as the deputy general, led a 30,000 army to support the Jingxian County.


    The Western Route Army, with Xiahou Ying as the main general and Wu Lan as the deputy general, also led a 30,000 army to support Yongchang County.


    The 200,000 army set out, and the flags covered the sky and were vast. But not long after the Qin Dynasty set out, bad news came from the front line.


    The Southern Barbarian King Chiyou adopted Shi Jieren''s strategy, and used his body as bait, leading an army of 10,000 alone to lure Zhou Bo to ambush him.


    Zhou Bo, who was guarding Yizhou County, did not know that this was a plan and thought that Chiyou was arrogant, so he led his army out of the city to ambush, but was ambushed by Chiyou.


    Later, with Shen Shiqi''s timely reminder, Zhou Bo, who woke up, realized that he had fallen into the trap, so he did not fall into the trap, but he could not withdraw. He could only lead 40,000 Shu troops to fight against 30,000 Southern Barbarians.


    In this battle, the three generals Meng Huo, Meng You and Yang Feng joined forces to besiege Zhang Fei, but they still lost.


    After the 15th round of the four generals'' battle, Yang Feng was killed by Zhang Fei with a spear, and Meng Huo and Meng You were also injured. If Chi You had not arrived in time, he might have died under Zhang Fei''s spear.


    Zhang Fei fought against Chi You alone, but the gap between the two''s strength was too big. In less than five rounds, Zhang Fei was completely at a disadvantage.


    Seeing this, Guan Yu hurried to support him, but even if Guan and Zhang joined forces, they were still no match for Chi You, and Shi Jingtang and other six generals also came to support him quickly.


    But what everyone did not expect was that even if the eight generals including Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Shi Jingtang joined forces, they were still defeated by Chi You, the five generals were killed in battle, and the three generals of Guan, Zhang and Shi were injured, but they barely held Chi You for 150 rounds.


    Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Zhou Bo took advantage of Chi You being besieged and had no time to command the entire army, and secretly distributed thousands of elite troops to attack the flanks of the Shu army, which barely stabilized the situation.


    In the end, the Southern Army fought for a day, and the winner was not decided until the sun set.


    Chiyou had to retreat after seeing that he could not win for a long time, and Zhou Bo did not pursue him.


    After the war, the Shu army lost nearly 10,000 troops and killed six generals, including Zhou Bo''s eldest son Zhou Sheng, while the Southern Barbarians lost only six or seven thousand troops.


    Zhou Bo defeated Chiyou''s 30,000 Southern Army with 40,000 Shu troops, and lost 10,000 troops, but only defeated Chiyou''s more than 6,000, which was obviously a defeat.


    But he did not fall into Chiyou''s entire set and also saved the main force of the Shu army, which is a blessing in disguise.


    After the war, Zhou Bo shrunk his troops, and no matter how provoked Chi You, he ignored it and refused to defend it. At the same time, he asked Liu Yu for help and apologized for apologizing.


    Seeing that Zhou Bo was so cautious, Chiyou knew that he could not lead him out, and he did not want to lose too many troops in Zhou Bo, so he ordered Meng Huo, Wu Huo and Tang Yu to lead a side army to start sweeping other counties in Yizhou County.


    Most of the troops in those cities that were not guarded by Zhou Bo were transferred away. How could they be able to stop Chiyou''s army? Therefore, either the Nan Guojun captured the city or took the initiative to surrender to Chiyou.
