100 years of professional slag attack

Wang Renli felt a little uneasy about being called over by the emperor suddenly. During this period of time, the Wang family had a queen mother and an emperor, and the limelight was the same for a while, and the faint power of the master was overwhelming. This is not a good thing Son, he had already ordered his family members to act in a low-key and cautious manner, but for some reason, he was called over by the emperor's nephew alone.

He originally thought that what awaited him would be a scolding, but Liu Yu told him calmly, get ready the soldiers under his command and cheer them up, there is going to be a fierce battle between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Wang Renli was stunned by the news for half a minute before he stuttered and said, "Your Majesty, according to the general's humble opinion, the truce between the two sides was only three months away. While recuperating, I am afraid there will be no more conflicts in a short time."

Although Tuoba Tao is a militant, he is not so militant. He doesn't take the soldiers under him seriously.It's late autumn now, because of the drought and scorching heat in summer, the harvest of the sown grain is not good.

The land here in the Southern Song Dynasty is rich, and the policies implemented by Liu Yu since he became the throne have greatly benefited the common people, so it is already a bit tight, let alone the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is further north, the common people should not even have enough money to live. If Tuoba Tao still had reason, he would generally not choose to recruit soldiers at this time. This would cut off the peasants' way of life.

Liu Yu had expected that he would say this a long time ago, and he was confident about it, and he opened his mouth to analyze: "The Northern Wei Dynasty is not only facing the persecution of natural disasters, but also the rampant gambling frenzy inside."

Wang Renli had heard about this, mainly thanks to Liu Yu's ban, all officials in the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty knew that gambling, which was strictly prohibited by his own emperor, was so popular in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"I ask you, according to the past practice, whenever a natural disaster of this scale occurs and the people are displaced, should the royal family allocate funds for disaster relief?" Liu Yu asked.

"The emperor's lesson." Wang Renli nodded.In fact, this is just a rhetoric. Anyway, the Song emperors of the Southern Dynasties and the Emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty didn't care much about the lives of the people. However, when encountering this year's rare natural disaster season, the country also needs to take remedial measures.

Putting one hand on his chin, Liu Yu said with a sneer, "Northern Wei Dynasty is located in the north, and mainly used grass. In the past, we collected real gold and silver from officials and bought grain and grass from the grain merchants of our Great Song Dynasty."

In the past few years, the Northern Wei Dynasty fought against the Rouran State, an ethnic minority regime further north, and most of the money in the treasury was used to raise soldiers, and there was not much left.

Buying grain and grass with real money is also because the copper coins produced by the two countries are not in circulation with each other. After listening for a long time, Wang Renli still didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't dare to urge him, so he could only continue listening.

I saw Liu Yu continued to say with great interest: "It's a pity that the officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty also don't have much gold and silver - their gold and silver are all invested in Happy Valley and exchanged for chips, and the gold and silver in Happy Valley are now It's all in my treasury."

Rao is based on Wang Renli's mentality, after hearing this news, he was stunned for a few moments, and then he came to his senses, took a sharp breath, looked up at him suddenly, and said in a voiceless voice: "Is the emperor also connected with Happy Valley?" ?”

"It's okay to tell uncle, I am the owner of Happy Valley." Liu Yu enjoyed his ghost-like expression, and said with a half-smile, "When I was young, I was ignorant and frivolous. It really worked out."

Wang Renli didn't know how to answer the words, so he could only bow his head and knelt tightly against the ground, expressing his submission and docility.

He was really a little scared. If Liu Yu hadn't lied—the other party really didn't need to lie to him in this regard—then Happy Valley had been established for two years, and Liu Yu was just a member of He's residence at that time. "Princess Shanyin" has been able to make such a big noise with the only resources at hand without making a sound, it is indeed extraordinary ability and outstanding level.

Liu Yu glanced at him, and said further: "Northern Wei was short of food and could hardly survive the cold winter, so what should we do? Life will always go on, and they must mobilize their troops and horses to come to the border to plunder."

This kind of thing also happens all year round. Since ancient times, the Han people have always been robbed by the surrounding ethnic minorities every time they are hungry.

The nomads have the true nature of local ruffians. They rob when they are short of things, and run away when they are finished. They are all cavalry anyway. Let alone the troops of the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty can’t catch up, even if they do catch up, they will form a cavalry formation as soon as they turn around. It can swallow all the soldiers and horses you pursue in one gulp.

Rouran in the north bullied the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Wei Dynasty came to bully the Southern Song Dynasty. This potential food chain that existed for nearly a hundred years made Liu Yu depressed for a long time. He wanted to take this opportunity to completely change his position at the bottom of the pyramid.

Speaking of this, Wang Renli came back to it, and said loudly: "The emperor wants to let the general lead a large number of elite soldiers to the border. If the Northern Wei bandits dare to invade, then they will be caught off guard?"

Liu Yu nodded: "The Northern Wei Dynasty has always been good at cavalry, and my uncle has the best army in the Southern Song Dynasty. I hope that my uncle will not let me down."

"The last general will repay His Majesty by being the head of the governor." Wang Renli said solemnly.

His moral standard is still very high, and the Wang family is now an extremely high-ranking minister, and there is no way to rise any further.Wang Renli had just been beaten by Liu Yu's deeds of taking Happy Valley, half showing off and half warning, and having seen Liu Yu's plot to rebel and kill his own father, he was still in awe of the young emperor. Xiao Jiujiu, who cultivated the puppet emperor, must be eliminated.

Now that the family has reached its peak, he might as well focus on expelling thieves and thieves. The Northern Wei Dynasty has always been a serious problem in the Southern Song Dynasty, and this is an enemy that has to be guarded against.

After Liu Yu got a satisfactory answer, he asked Wang Renli to retire. His nominally cheap uncle is also an excellent master of tactics and strategy. Morale is definitely not high if you fight on your stomach, and it is not difficult to win.

Liu Yu has already ordered Su Tao's subordinates to draw a topographic map of the border as soon as possible. He has to take a look at the topographical distribution of the border and choose a suitable place to fight.

A team of cavalry is a dragon, and a cavalry is a worm. Once the cavalry loses the ability to attack and form a formation, it is not as flexible as the short-legged infantry. It is impossible to turn out tricks with all kinds of skills.

——————————————————————————————————————

Wang Renli received the emperor's secret order and led his confidants and direct troops to leave Jiankang City in the dark in batches overnight. Except for Liu Yu's men and horses guarding the city gate, no one was disturbed.

A month later, the news that [-] cavalrymen of the Northern Wei Dynasty were ambushed and killed in a village spread to Jiankang City. The whole country was shocked. Liu Yu patted the table in the morning and laughed unscrupulously for a long time.

In fact, facing this long-guessed result, he didn't feel very happy and joyful. Sometimes Liu Yu often sighed in a pretentious manner that people who are too smart always lose too much fun in life.

He laughed like a fool, but it was just to put strong psychological pressure on the courtiers. He wanted to tell all the ministers that this was designed by the emperor himself, and he set up a trick to let that idiot emperor named Tuoba Tao in the Northern Wei Dynasty get into it. .

At the same time, he has to use his own reaction to tell the ministers, don't think that Wang Renli is so awesome, it is all because I have pointed out to him what to do next step by step, that he can successfully win this battle Ambush.

The Southern and Northern Dynasties were different from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The population was quite sparse. Because of the poor quality of the army in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were more than [-] standing soldiers, while the Northern Wei Dynasty had fewer standing soldiers, only more than [-], and [-] of them were not very lethal. infantry.

The two thousand cavalry sent by Tuoba Tao to kill, injure and plunder this time are all veterans. They can be said to be the elite of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The sharp decline, coupled with the impact of natural disasters, will not recover in a few years.

Liu Yu not only succeeded in giving Tuoba Tao a head-on blow, but also completely established prestige among the ministers of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, completing the final step of gathering power.

A good move made the whole situation come to life. Liu Yu's good mood lasted all day. At noon, for the first time, he called all the people who needed him to the imperial garden, and held a feast with wine and food. After a meal.

Because he was really in a good mood, he drank a lot of rice wine. He thought that the rice wine with the same strength as a drink would be fine, but he didn't expect that because he had hardly drank alcohol in his life, his drinking capacity was quite limited, and he became drunk after a while.

Liu Yu was still holding the wine glass on his front feet, laughing with slack eyes, and lay down on the table in the next second without moving, and did not respond to being called twice.

This kind of reaction made not only Chu Yuan and He Ji, who were embarrassed and greeted each other to drink and eat food, stunned, but even Wang Gougou and Li Ping, who were standing behind Liu Yu and serving them, were also dumbfounded.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay. Wang Gougou took a step forward and was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Ping.Facing Wang Gougou's questioning gaze, Li Ping said calmly, "Master Chu, please send the emperor in."
