There were large beads of sweat on Lu Xun's forehead, and his face was swollen red. His fists were clenched tightly, obviously suppressing the anger in his heart, but he was holding back and not speaking.
Doupeng looked at Lu Xun and said in a deep voice: "There are only you and me here. If you have anything to say, just say it. I sent Zhu Chaoshi away for this reason."
Lu Xun simply raised his head and said loudly: "How could I not know the stakes in this? But if the deity hadn't favored Xiao Xu, how could I have chosen this style of play?"
Doupeng said coldly: "I made it clear last time that you are the main one and I want Daofu to take orders from you. Why do you prefer him? Could it be that he defeated He Wuji alone this time?
Am I leaning toward him?"
Lu Xun gritted his teeth: "It was Xu Daofu's own responsibility to send troops to Nankang and defeat He Wuji. It was none of my business as the leader. Lan Xiang also died in this battle. After this battle, his reputation
At the height of the sun, I, the leader of the church, only did the partial task of sweeping Xiangzhou here. If the god had not acquiesced and even encouraged his behavior of sending troops privately, how could we have achieved the current results?"
Doupeng sighed: "If you hadn't always wanted to stay in Lingnan and not make progress, how could I have allowed Daofu to take charge of Shixing? He is enterprising and has seized the opportunity. What you should do more is
Examine yourself instead of complaining about my partiality. After all, Xu Daofu comes from a humble background and has no foundation at all. All he can rely on is a little military talent. He is completely different from a child of a big family like you."
Lu Xun shook his head: "Liu Yu has no foundation at all. Isn't he trampling all the aristocratic families under his feet now? Lord God, times have changed. It is no longer the time for the children of aristocratic families to do whatever they want and call the storms by relying on their birth and connections.
On the contrary, it is military achievements that can accumulate popularity. If Xu Daofu really defeats Liu Yi this time, he will have supreme prestige in the army, and it will be easy to replace my position!"
Doupeng's eyes flashed coldly: "So, you want Liu Yi to defeat him and Xu Daofu, who is a threat to you, right?"
Lu Xun didn't speak, which was his acquiescence.
Doupeng sighed: "Xu Daofu guarantees your flank. If he loses, Liu Yi will be a hundred times more powerful. How can you be alone? Don't forget, it was the same when Liu Yi conquered Huan Xuan in the west. What did Huan Xuan do?
Danzhi stayed in Sangluo Prefecture to resist the pursuers, and returned to Jingzhou to develop. The result was that Liu Yi would defeat them one by one and become stronger as they fought. Not to mention that you didn't have time to develop Jingzhou yet. If you could defeat it before Liu Yi attacked,
Jiangling, do you think you have the ability?"
Lu Xun gritted his teeth: "The worst case, the worst case is that we will retreat to Lingnan and blockade Wuling. This time I will personally take charge of the Shixing head office."
Doupeng sneered and said: "Do you think Liu Yi will stop at Lingbiao? If he really defeats Xu Daofu and forces you to withdraw your troops and return to the army, he will definitely use his troops to destroy you directly without leaving any further trouble. You are so
It’s not a plan to kill with a borrowed knife, but to kill yourself with a borrowed knife and die together with Xu Daofu. Do you still think you are smart now?”
Lu Xun sighed and simply sat cross-legged on the ground, with a look of loneliness in his eyes: "Xu Daofu is no longer willing to be under me. He sent Zhu Chaoshi to invite me over. Maybe I will go to the army."
I'll get rid of him and then annex my army. I'm afraid you, Lord God, are also happy to see this happen. Since you came here to pressure me like this today, why not just remove me from the position of leader and give it to Junior Brother Xu?
This is fratricide."
Doupeng said coldly: "If I really had this intention, would I still come to you now? I would just ask you to come over and join Xu Daofu's army. Don't I know who Xu Daofu is better than you? He
If he wants to take your position, he will also focus on my position in the future. Do you think I will infinitely indulge his ambitions? Get up and speak!"
A trace of joy flashed across Lu Xun's face, and he jumped up from the ground. His eyes looking at Doupeng were full of expectation: "You, are you still willing to support me?"
Doupeng nodded: "After all, you are a member of a big family. For this reason, I will only support you instead of refuting. Now we need to make the best use of people. After all, you don't have his military talents. Fighting is a matter of
In fact, if I just recall Daofu and let you take command personally, will you be sure to defeat Liu Yi?"
Lu Xun shook his head unconvinced: "That's because you didn't let me learn the art of war, Lord God. Instead, you asked me to learn the art of controlling people's hearts and the art of mechanism. If I had learned the art of war, how could I be inferior to Daofu?"
Doupeng said coldly: "A ruler is long and an inch is short. The teachings and skills I arranged are based on your personal talents. The art of war is not your specialty. It is like buying people's hearts and making people die. Xu Dao
It's the same as destroying this eloquence. As long as you can ensure that your subordinates will listen to you instead of him, then what's the use of him being able to fight again?"
Lu Xun gritted his teeth: "It really doesn't matter to the disciples of the God's Cult. But this time he won a great victory and recruited many armies, whether they were Huan Chu's old troops or the Jin army in Jiangzhou, and even people like Zhu Chaoshi
They are not really old brothers who believe in the religion, but they only listen to people named Xu, not me!"
Doupeng laughed and patted Lu Xun on the shoulder: "Yuanlong, that's no wonder Daofu. You didn't go to Jiangzhou yourself and take these people who should belong to you under your command. Instead, you asked Xu Daofu
If Fu directly manages them, do you still blame others for only listening to Dao Fu's orders? If you really want them to listen to you, you have to fight for it yourself and manage it yourself, do you understand?"
Lu Xun frowned slightly: "If I go to Jiangzhou now, will Xu Daofu really be willing to give up his military power?"
A cold light flashed in Doupeng's eyes: "If it wasn't to ensure this, what would I be doing here? He can disobey you, but how dare he disobey me? He also knows in his heart that he can't resist with his own strength.
Liu Yi, if we divide, we will both lose, but if we unite, great things can be accomplished. Even if we want to fight for power, we have to wait until Jiankang is captured and Liu Yu, the great enemy, is eliminated. How can he fall out with you now?"
Lu Xun's brows gradually relaxed: "If there is a god as a guarantee, then I have nothing to worry about. However, Jiangling is still there, and Liu Daogui still has more than 20,000 elite men. If we don't eliminate or severely injure him,
, what if he cuts off our retreat or even counterattacks Xiangzhou and goes straight to Lingnan?"
Doupeng smiled slightly: "If we can defeat Liu Yu and go straight to Jiankang, we don't need this little escape route. What's more, there are two groups of people, Huan Qian and Qiao Daofu, to restrain me. I don't come empty-handed this time.
Yes, a senior officer will see you soon, and I guarantee that he can relieve your worries!"
