Zhu Chaoshi sighed: "After talking for so long, I still don't know how the war is going in Jingzhou. If Lu Xun's war is unfavorable, he may not come to join you, but ask you to help him fight Jiangling."
Xu Daofu curled his lips: "I just brought Shixing's troops, only about 3,000 people, plus thousands of rebel bandits from several Jiangzhou cottages, and I wiped out He Wuji's army.
The main force of the Beifu Army is 5,000. Senior Brother Lu has a heavy army, with tens of thousands of divine disciples and 20,000 to 30,000 barbarians. If we attack Xiangzhou, how can there be any surprises?"
"In the past few days, Brother Lu's main force has swept across the southern Hunan region, including Guiyang, Changsha, Wuling, and Lingling counties. They almost surrendered. Only when they attacked Baling, the granary of the Jin army in southern Hunan, they encountered some resistance.
The three thousand Jin troops stationed there were mostly the main force of the former Jingzhou Army. Compared with the state and county militiamen who were on the verge of collapse, they were still a little stronger. However, when Brother Lu took He Wuji's head, there were still more than ten
When the heads of Jiangzhou Army generals who died in the battle were piled up in front of Baling City, they gave up resistance and surrendered directly."
Zhu Chaoshi was about to shed tears, and he quickly squeezed out a smile: "He Wuji is a Beifu general who has dominated the world for decades and one of the three giants of the Jingba Party. His death will destroy the entire Jin army in Jingzhou.
Morale, after all, Liu Daogui's strength in Jingzhou is not as good as that of He Wuji's Jiangzhou Army. After all, Jiangzhou soldiers and horses are preparing for the crusade against Lingnan. The core 5,000 people are veterans of Beifu who have fought for many years. If it hadn't been this time
It is really difficult to destroy them on the water and fight them on land. He Wuji was brave enough, but his strategy was still insufficient, and he was defeated in the end."
Xu Daofu smiled slightly: "Although he killed Lu Lanxiang before he died, his head can make a big city and granary surrender without a fight, which is considered even. The day after the fall of Baling, Liu Daogui sent
Reinforcements have just arrived, and the leader is Tan Daoji, a rising star who is as famous as you in the Beifu Army."
Zhu Chaoshi's face changed slightly, and he turned to smile and said: "Tan Daoji? He just took advantage of his uncle. I still know the three brothers of the Tan family. Both Tan Shao and Tan Zhuan can be called good generals, but Tan Daoji usually likes to talk.
, but he has never really been trained as a general. Like Wang Zhene, he is just a soldier. I don't think he will be a real general. On the contrary, Tan Zhuan in Wuling has fought many battles with my master.
If you want to fight, you can be entrusted with important tasks. Why didn't Liu Daogui send Tan Zhuan here instead of letting Tan Daoji lead the army?"
Xu Daofu shook his head and said: "Because Qiaoshu sent troops to attack Baidi City. Bao Chou, the governor of Yizhou, died of illness in Baidi City, so he lost his backbone. The defenders Wen Zuo and Shi Yanzu were not convinced of each other. Wen Zuo
Zuo led his troops out of the city to counterattack, but was defeated by the Shu general Qiao Daofu. The Jin army in Baidi City lost its ability to fight in the field and could only defend the isolated city. The Shu army attacked the city day and night, and Baidi City could be broken overnight.
Unfortunately, ten days ago, Tan Zhuan, the internal historian of Wuling, led his 3,000 troops to rescue Baidi City."
Zhu Chaoshi sighed: "It really rained all night because of the leakage of the house. No wonder the Jin army in Xiangzhou was vulnerable. Then Tan Zhuan's troops and the defenders of Baling Granary were inseparable from each other, forming two major Xiangzhous.
The support point of the army. If Tan Zhuan leaves, the Baling garrison will naturally be isolated and helpless. Plus, knowing the news of the Jiangzhou army's defeat, it will collapse instantly. It really affects the whole body with one move, and is destroyed in one defeat.
The overall situation.”
Xu Daofu's gaze was like a torch, scanning Zhu Chaoshi's body: "It seems that you are not too happy about the victory of the divine religion, but instead lament the defeat of the Jin army?"
Zhu Chaoshi curled his lips and said: "After all, I have been a Jin general for a long time. When Jiangzhou and Jingzhou jointly deployed the Xiangzhou defense line, I also worked with Zhao Shang who defended Baling, Tan Zhuan in Wuling, and Nan Zhuan.
Well, I have jointly conducted many deductions. How can I calculate that these three pillars support each other and are foolproof. Even if one place is in danger, the other two places can shrink their forces to defend, waiting for the main force of He Wuji in Jiangzhou and Liu Daogui in Jingzhou.
A large army is coming for reinforcements. As a military strategist and general, Marshal Xu should be able to understand the mood of his subordinates."
Xu Daofu laughed: "Of course I understand. You have been operating here for more than two years. The impregnable defense line fell in less than half a month, and He Wuji was defeated and died. Naturally, it is difficult to bear this.
The result. However, doesn’t this just show that the divine sect’s attack this time, step by step, can be called perfect?”
Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth: "We were careless along the way to Nankang. He Wuji can also be said to have underestimated the enemy and rushed in. But Tan Zhuan left Wuling to support Baidi City. Could it be that the Divine Religion could count on it? I have never
I’ve heard about the connection between this divine religion and Qiao Shu.”
A hint of vigilance flashed in Xu Daofu's eyes: "Are you trying to trick me again? You want to ask about the Tiandao Alliance?"
Zhu Chaoshi sighed: "I don't dare, but I suddenly remembered the establishment of Qiaoshu, including the expeditionary force that defeated Liu Jingxuan after its establishment. At that time, I also thought it was incredible. With the combat effectiveness of the Shu army, they could actually think of going hundreds of miles forward and fighting in
Huang Hu's fortification defense on the beach is by no means the true level of the Qiao family. My master analyzed it at the time and there must be an expert's guidance behind it. Could it be that the rise of Qiao Shu back then was due to the support of the divine sect?"
Xu Daofu said coldly: "You will know it yourself when it's time for you to know. No need to ask any more questions now. I can only tell you that this attack on Jin is indeed not an isolated one, but a series of attacks."
Daqi, of course, the main force of the attack is still our Tianshi Dao. Qiao Shu and Huan Qian are just supporting. The reason why I don’t agree with the strategy of capturing Jingzhou is that if we fight with Huan Qian, Qiao Shu
If the army jointly attacks Jingzhou, the distribution of benefits will be a problem afterwards. Maybe the three armies will fight on their own. Instead of unnecessary internal strife, it is better to advance eastward early and capture Jiankang without causing any disputes with others. This principle,
When you see Senior Brother Lu, please speak clearly."
Zhu Chaoshi believed more and more that this matter must be related to the Tiandao Alliance. However, listening to Xu Daofu's words, it seemed that he had a vague idea of not wanting to be controlled and driven by the Tiandao Alliance. Lu Xun's attack on Jingzhou seemed to be carrying out the law of heaven.
According to the original plan of the alliance, Xu Daofu wanted to go to Jingzhou to convince Lu Xun this time. I am afraid that he was also trying to shirk responsibility in front of the mysterious leader of the Tiandao Alliance. If this person was blamed in the future, he could also blame it all on himself.
The intentions are not sinister.
