Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Then what do you think if I let Ah Shou leave Jingzhou?"
The fat on Liu Muzhi's face trembled: "It's not like you don't know the relationship between A Shou and Xile, I'm afraid..."
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, I am not asking Ashou to be the governor of Jingzhou. This position can be given to Rabbit. I already agreed on this when I asked Rabbit to help Huaisu send troops to intercept Huan Zhen. Ashou is good at fighting.
Short of governing, in the current situation in Jingzhou, even without Xi Le's factor, I would not let him guard it alone."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "I understand, you want Ah Shou to move the shogunate to Jingzhou, for example, give him a military position as a Nanman captain. The real purpose is to conquer Western Shu or Lingnan?"
Liu Yu nodded and said: "Yes, this is my original intention. Xile has been preventing me from reinstating Ah Shou on the grounds that he did not participate in Jianyi and did not make great contributions. But the more this happens, the more useless it will be."
As time went by, Ah Shou really had no choice but to take a casual job and go home. In this matter, Wuji also sided with Xi Le, because most of Wuji's old subordinates were subordinates of the former commander Liu Laozhi.
I'm afraid that if Ah Shou regains power, his subordinates will switch to Ah Shou."
Liu Muzhi said seriously: "Yes, this is the biggest conflict between Wuji and Ah Shou. Although they are cousins, in the face of this power, it is no longer possible to give in like they did when they were childhood playmates. What are you going to do?
How to deal with this conflict?"
Liu Yu sighed: "I want Ah Shou to leave all his old ministries in Jiangzhou and let Wuji take over. Only in this way can Wuji really feel at ease and support Ah Shou."
Liu Muzhi's expression changed: "This is too much of a concession. They are Liu Laozhi's last old subordinates, and they are also brothers who have followed Ah Shou for many years. Although there are only more than 10,000 people now, judging from the performance of this defeat of Huan Zhen
Look, they are still the elite of the Beifu Army with extremely powerful combat capabilities. Their combat capabilities are not inferior to those of Xile and Wuji. Although you have such a good relationship with Ah Shou, if he really gives up this army
, I'm afraid he won't be willing to become a bare general. This is different from the last time Huaisu led his troops, one borrowed troops and the other abandoned them."
Liu Yu sighed: "There is no way, otherwise, it is not enough to let Wuji let go of his heart. I intend to let Wuji leave Zhenjiang Prefecture after compromising with Xile to prevent the demon thieves in Lingnan. Of course, if the demon thieves are in Lingnan
If the governance is not good and there is internal chaos, Wuji can join forces with the rabbits in Jingzhou to eliminate these demon thieves. The last time he attacked Huan Zhen, Wuji was defeated in Matou and lost thousands of elite soldiers. If he gets Ah Shou's
The strength of the soldiers and horses will be greater than before, and they will be on my and Ah Shou's side in everything."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Then what are you going to do to compensate Ah Shou? If he surrenders all his troops, what else will he use to go on the Western Expedition? Also, isn't Sima Rongqi already on the Western Expedition?
Mao Xiuzhi and Feng Qian were the vanguards, Yang Chengzu was joining the army, as well as Wen Chumao, the former governor of Bajun, and Wen Zuo, the old general of Huanchu who was pardoned after surrendering to Xi Le and led his old troops to reinforce.
It can be said that the troops are strong and the horses are strong, which should be more than enough to deal with a Qiao Shu."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It's because these armies come from many sides, the generals are not convinced by each other, and Sima Rongqi has no ability to run an army, so it is impossible to control the generals. Although Xiao Mao is a good young man, but this time
If the whole clan wants to take revenge, they will definitely lose their minds, and they will definitely kill their enemies. This is tantamount to forcing all the clans in Shu to resist with all their strength. He does not have many troops, so it will be difficult to move forward smoothly. Once the war becomes intense, Sima Rongqi will definitely not be able to
Balancing the interests between the armies, in the end they can only retreat after running out of food. It is because Xile saw this that he made such personnel arrangements. It is impossible for him to really let the people of the Sima family really establish meritorious services.
, to conquer a vast territory."
Liu Muzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "You are good at these military matters. When I first saw this arrangement, I just vaguely felt something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. However, this is a waste of an opportunity for the Western Expedition.
,Isn’t it a pity?”
Liu Yu shook his head: "Now is not a good time for the Western Expedition. Jingzhou has just been recovered and is far from stable. It will take a year or two to completely pacify it. Lu Zongzhi in Yongzhou also has an ambiguous attitude and should not be moved lightly. Last time in Shu
Almost all the families participated in the rebellion and massacre of the entire Mao family. If we are to attack now, they will definitely resist with all their strength out of fear. Even if we order a pardon, they will probably not trust us. If Jingzhou is unstable, then it will be a matter of force.
To capture Yizhou, it will take a long time to maintain a strong military presence there to suppress the resistance of various families. For the current Jin Dynasty, this is not a place that is eager to recover."
"It's just that Sima Rongqi, for the sake of his own achievements and regardless of the interests of the country, insisted on sending troops to attack Shu. He had this righteous status and couldn't directly refute it, so he had to let him go and fight. Only let him face the reality.
Only by being broken and bloody can these princes of the Sima family understand that fighting is not a child's play, it requires military talent, and it does not mean that you can have such talent just by being born in the Sima family."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Then if Sima Rongqi asks you this, why don't you go to Yizhou, which has no strong enemies, but you are ready to attack Nanyan, which is close to the powerful Hulu, how would you answer?"
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Because Nanyan is not far from Jiankang. Even from Guangling to Nanyan, it is only more than a thousand miles. If it starts from Pengcheng, it is only a few hundred miles. It only takes a few days for the army to be dispatched.
It can be reached in time, and the land in Jiangbei is fertile, but it lacks development. If we can really eliminate Nanyan, then the six counties in Jiangbei will be safe from now on, and Jin can safely immigrate here to farm, recruit troops and collect grain.
From now on, whether it is the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains or crossing the river to attack Hebei, we will have a stable rear area, which is incomparable to the land of Yizhou."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Okay, let's go back to the original question. If Sima Rongqi really fails in his crusade, are you ready to let Ah Shou go on the second Western Expedition?"
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Yes, Ah Shou has the talent of a general. It's a piece of cake to attack Shu. Moreover, I plan to send Daogui to lead his army back to Jingzhou, and use their strength to attack Shu for the second time."
Liu Muzhi's expression changed: "Daogui? Didn't you originally plan to let Daogui leave Zhenjiangbei?"
Liu Yu sighed: "The situation has changed. If Xile is also interested in Jiangbei, then I can't let Daogui be the governor of Northern Xuzhou, because no matter who it is, it is impossible to compare with Xile in current military achievements. Only
Only by maintaining the status quo can Xile leave Zhenjiangbei without an excuse."
