Lu Zongzhi frowned, then smiled and said: "There is a saying in the art of war that if you can show it you can't, and if you can't show it you can show it. In this way, the demon thieves said they wanted to seize Jiangling. Is it actually a lie? They also
If we don't attack Ma Tou and Wulin Erdu, we actually have no intention of capturing Jingzhou. Is this what you mean, conquering the west?"
Liu Daogui calmly shook his head: "No, I think it's just the opposite. They just want to seize Jiangling, so they deliberately use the art of war to show their inability to cheat. Such blatant statements will make us think that
This is nothing more than false pretense, but in fact, this is exactly their true intention."
Tan Daoji said in a deep voice: "Conquering the West, how can we expect this? The demon thief may have just arrived and was not well prepared to attack Jiangling, so he deliberately used a trick of suspicion, or..."
Having said this, Tan Daoji paused, and a trace of worry flashed across his face: "Or maybe the demon thief wanted to deliberately divide his troops like this to cause misunderstanding and false betrayal to Brother Xile in Yuzhou, and lead Brother Xile to send troops to attack Yuzhou.
Xu Daofu of Zhang was overthrown, and then they set up an ambush and wiped them out in one fell swoop."
Lu Gui smiled and waved his hand: "Impossible, how can they have such strength? What the demon thieves rely on is just naval ships. Land warfare is far from our army's opponent, and this time, even the eight-footed ship is coming
Lu Xun has also come. Xu Daofu has only thirty thousand troops at most. I'm afraid they are still a mob. Brother Xile's men are the Yuzhou Legion, one of the most elite troops in the Jin Dynasty. They have followed him in the south and north for many years.
, I have eliminated and defeated countless powerful enemies, how could I be ambushed and destroyed by demon thieves?"
Tan Daoji's brows became more and more deeply furrowed: "The monster thieves are full of tricks and tricks, and they often try to trick us by showing weakness or dividing their troops. Lu Xun's army and navy came to Jiangling, promising to seize Jingzhou and ensure their retreat.
, seems to be because he knew that the commander-in-chief had conquered Nanyan and that the Yan army was about to return, so he wanted to retreat to Lingnan. But in fact, this was probably a repeat of the past that the demon thieves had laid many ambushes in the past, such as Gao Yazhi,
Xie Yan, Brother Wuji, and even the commander-in-chief were once ambushed by demon thieves in the pursuit battle in Haiyan. I think about them as if it was yesterday."
Liu Daogui also said sternly: "Yes, in the battle of Haiyan, Bao Sizhi's rash advance led the whole army into the ambush of the demon thieves. At that time, we thought that the demon thieves could not attack the city and suffered heavy losses. When we withdrew and left,
They were already tired and could be beaten back, but they were fooled in the end, so this time, I think the demon thieves will never be able to secure any way out, because they have no way out."
Having said this, Liu Daogui looked around and said in a deep voice: "Given the current situation of the demon thief, he wanted to take advantage of the luck of the Battle of Jiangzhou to defeat our Jingzhou Army and eliminate Brother Wuji's Jiangzhou Army.
Brother Xile's Yuzhou Legion did not dare to act rashly. Relying on this record of defeating the famous generals and legions of the Beifu Army, they attracted all the young people in the world to join them. At this time, they just have to advance without retreating and move forward indomitably. If you still think about the situation, it will not be the same.
The best way is to retreat to protect yourself, but first of all you will lose the support of the people. Even if you retreat to Guangzhou, how many days can you last?"
Lu Zongzhi touched his beard and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it is true, so I agree with you. They came here to capture Jingzhou and conquer Jiangling, and they never wanted to return to Lingnan. Of course,
What Daoji just said about luring Xile's Yuzhou Army to attack is also a possibility, but I still think that with Xu Daofu's strength and the demon thief's level of land warfare, even if they set up an ambush, it is impossible to defeat Xile's Yuzhou Army.
, this time is different from the last time Wuji took the initiative to attack. Even if Xi Le attacks, he will not advance lightly. He will definitely respond back and forth, scout the surroundings, and then advance to the camp step by step, or advance by land and water to cover each other.
It will never be possible for the enemy to encircle the retreat and encircle and annihilate us."
Liu Daogui's face was solemn: "Xile is a famous general of the generation, and the elite men under him are veterans who have fought for many years. Logically speaking, this should not be the case, but what I am most worried about is that the commander-in-chief has conquered Nanyan and made extraordinary achievements.
, Xile has always been competitive with his eldest brother. At this time, he will inevitably want to make a contribution and defeat the demon thief alone. If this is the case, the demon thief's division of troops to march westward will give him the best reason to march.
Just like Xie Yan back then, if there was something wrong with his mentality and he only wanted to kill thieves and make meritorious deeds, he might fall into the trap of the thieves."
Tan Daoji gritted his teeth: "So, Zhengxi, do you agree with my point of view? Then should we find a way to inform Brother Xile so that he will never fall into the trap, and we still have to maintain defense and wait for the commander-in-chief's entire army to return.
Master, how about joining forces to defeat the thieves?"
Liu Daogui shook his head: "We can't persuade Xile, and in my capacity, persuading him may be counterproductive. I think I want to prevent him from making meritorious deeds and surpassing my elder brother, so what I have to do now is to manage him well."
We ourselves, as well as Xi Le, can only pray that he can calm down and not fall into the thieves' scheme."
Lu Zongzhi laughed: "Actually, this is not difficult. As long as we have a way to defeat the demon thief navy in front of us, we will have a chance to open up the connection with Yuzhou. We can even go out of the river, swim down the river, and seize
As long as Jiangxia County and Xiakou can form a flanking posture with Xile to attack the demon thief Yuzhang, the demon thief's ambush will be useless. However, our naval warships only have more than 200, and they are far away.
There are not as many monster thieves as there are, let alone those eight-foot giant ships. It will be even more difficult to defeat the main force of the monster thieves in a water battle. It is best to do as I said before, lure the monster thieves to land, and then try to annihilate their army.
Main force, let’s consider my plan to lure them ashore from Ma Tau Ferry.”
Liu Daogui shook his head firmly: "No, absolutely not. The enemy's target is definitely not our ferry. If they really wanted to use these two ferries to land ashore, they would have attacked the fleet when it moved westward.
Why wait until now? Lu Xun has only one purpose in doing this, and that is to capture Jiangling, and capture Jiangling as quickly as possible, wipe out our entire Jingzhou Army, and then return to join Xu Daofu and Xile
Brother, there is a decisive battle with the commander’s main force.”
Lu Zongzhi sneered and said: "Fantasy, do you really think that our Jiangling is an undefended city? Do you really think that our 40,000 Jingzhou elites are just decorations? Even if there are these giant ships, with the defense of our water city outside Jiangling and the two hundred
The strength of the many Yellow Dragon warships is definitely not something they can easily conquer. I think not only will they not be able to eat this bone, they will also have to lose a tooth."
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "So, they have to find a way to get rid of our Shuicheng's defense first, and also get rid of the Huanglong warships that help defend Shuicheng. Otherwise, it is impossible to capture Jiangling!"
