Having said this, Liu Yi pondered for a moment and glanced lightly at everyone's masks: "Well, the Northern Expedition will take about half a month to prepare anyway. I will first change the agreed defense to Yuzhou and bring 20,000 troops there.
, and then announced that he was seriously ill to confuse the enemy, and asked Liu Cui to lead thousands of weak soldiers to attack Sima Guofan, while I secretly mobilized troops to transport food, and when everything was ready, I suddenly broke out and joined forces with Lu Zong to attack the Central Plains. In this way,
A big deal has been decided! Who is in favor of this proposal and who is against it?" He said, taking the lead in raising his right hand to show his approval.
Everyone nodded with satisfaction and raised their right hands.
Xu Xianzhi said: "Now that everyone is sure that this plan is feasible, let's work separately. Mr. Baihu, you go to Yuzhou first, but you must make a handover with Meng Huaiyu early."
Liu Yi said in a deep voice: "Of course, after I leave, the defense of the capital will be handed over to Meng Huaiyu, while Tang Xing and Zhao Lunzhi will follow Master Qinglong to Wudi, and the defense of Jingkou will be handed over to them."
Give it to Liu Daolian and leave him a thousand troops to hold Jingkou City."
Xu Xianzhi frowned: "Isn't a thousand men and horses a little short? What if..."
Liu Yi waved his hand: "There is no such thing as an emergency. Everyone in Jingkou practices martial arts and is a warrior. If we really encounter a foreign invasion, the villages will protect themselves and the villages will cooperate. Even if they have thousands of troops, it will not be so easy to attack."
Come in, last time Liu Yu rushed back from Wu, didn't he defeat Sun En's army just by relying on the villagers?"
Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "But, then Liu Daolian..."
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Although Liu Daolian is weak and incompetent, his current deputy Liu Jianzhi is a man of both wisdom and bravery. When Liu Yu raised his army, the three brothers Liu Jianzhi, Liu Qianzhi, and Liu Qianzhi led the entire village.
The young man joined the army and made a lot of achievements. In terms of qualifications, among the old brothers in Jianyi, Jingkou, he was considered to be the senior old Beifu. This time Liu Yu sent Liu Daolian back and also followed the three brothers.
Liu Daolian's side is to ask them to mobilize the Jingkou villagers to help defend in times of crisis."
Xu Xianzhi said with a smile: "The three Liu brothers and their nephews are very fierce, but now they have gone to the front line to fight. The three uncles left behind can also guard the house with peace of mind. Mr. Qinglong, for your sake, we are here."
We have mobilized a lot of soldiers and horses, and you have to defend Wu Land well. Master Baihu also needs your army rations!"
Yu Yue laughed: "Actually, I was thinking that if Sima Xiuzhi was transferred from Kuaiji and asked to leave Wudi in the name of supporting the front line, wouldn't we be able to save tens of thousands of horses?"
Liu Yi laughed: "Can he be willing to lead his troops northward at this time?"
Yu Yue said confidently: "This time it was Sima Guofan who caused the rebellion, and it was their Sima clan who rebelled. If we allow Sima Xiuzhi to make his own contribution and take the initiative to clean up the Sima clan, then not only can we remove his influence
The risk of rebellion in the Wu area is even more likely to cause the two armies of the Sima clan to consume each other. Anyway, Sima Xiuzhi's son and family are in Jiankang, while the families of his subordinates are staying in Kuaiji. I can control them, no need
I'm worried that Sima Xiuzhi's subordinates will follow him in rebellion."
Meng Chang frowned: "What do you mean, do you want Sima Xiuzhi to go north, and you to take over the whole territory of Wu and station in Kuaiji?"
Yu Yue laughed: "Of course, he was asked to support the front line, to defeat the rebel Sima Guofan, and to escort military supplies for military needs. He had no reason to refuse. Aren't these Sima clansmen always saying they want to contribute to the country? Now do your best
Now that the opportunity has come, it is only natural that we should purge the Sima clan of their own traitors."
Xu Xianzhi said with a smile: "Not to mention, Lord Qinglong's idea is really good, but if Sima Xiuzhi said that, then why don't your Lord Qinglong's soldiers and horses go to support, but ask his army in Kuaiji to go north?"
Yu Yue curled up his lips: "Because it was Sima Guofan who rebelled, and there were several other Sima clans, such as Sima Chuzhi, Huan Shini and others. Giving him a chance to clean up the family would also allow him to
People all over the world look at Sima's loyalty and ability. What's more, I won't say that I went to Wudi to guard against him. I will only say that these are the soldiers who returned from the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan due to injuries. It is not easy to go to the battlefield again. In order to guard
Wu Di, to fill the vacancy after his army left, and to collect this year's autumn grain, he just arrived in Wu Di. This change of defense between troops is a reasonable thing, and he should have no reason to object."
Meng Chang suddenly said: "Wait a minute, what if Sima Xiuzhi disagrees with this order? The chief executive in the court is Liu Yu, and he is far away in Guanggu. If Sima Xiuzhi asks who issued this order, we will
How to respond?"
Liu Yi said coldly: "Let's just say it was a decision made after joint discussion between you and me. Liu Yuyuan is in Guanggu and He Wuji is in Jiangzhou. There is no time to gather again for discussion. Besides, Liu Yu didn't order Meng Huaiyu to lead troops to escort Meng Longfu.
If his body is returned to Jiankang, should I go to crusade against Sima Guofan instead? This proves that he also wants to defeat the rebels. I am the general in charge of this crusade, and I was also the minister who stayed in Jiankang to handle the government and military affairs.
, of course he is qualified to order him to lead his troops to come for reinforcements, and he also needs to bring one million stones of food and grass stored in Kuaiji."
Yu Yue laughed: "That's great. It's perfect. Does this matter still need to be voted on?"
The other three shook their heads, and Meng Chang said: "However, in this way, Wu will only have one army of Master Qinglong. You should not take it lightly. If the Tiandao Alliance is still in Wu, it is possible for them to cause chaos.
You have to be extremely alert and nothing will happen to you."
Yu Yue smiled and said: "Sima Xiu's capital is gone, who else can pose a threat?"
Liu Yi said sternly: "Don't be careless. During the last Tianshi Dao rebellion, eight counties were in chaos overnight. Within ten months, the whole land of Wu was transformed. Don't do anything to offend those Xie Yan and Wang Ningzhi."
Mistakes, carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, without taking precautions will ultimately harm the country."
Yu Yue frowned: "Then according to your opinion, what should I do?"
Liu Yi said coldly: "Remember, the food requisition is just a slogan. Don't really take the opportunity to go and make a fortune. I know you want to do it, but don't think about it this time. There will be many opportunities for you to reap benefits in the future.
But this time, you concentrate all your troops in the big city, especially in Kuaiji County and Wu County. You should leave more than 5,000 elite soldiers in each of these two places to defend the city and be ready for an attack at any time. Also, don't leave any troops in the city.
Heavenly Masters and Taoists, during this month, it is strictly forbidden to hold activities such as Taoist temples and temple fairs in any name. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without mercy!"
