Liu Daogui shook his head gently, and said calmly under everyone's gaze: "Everyone, your suggestions are very good. It can be seen that you are also concerned about the safety of the country and the gains and losses of Jiangling.
We have such considerations, but let me emphasize one more point. If our goal is to save Jingzhou, then your play style is the most correct and safest. But if our goal is to rescue Dajin, we must support Brother Xile
offensive, then we must take the initiative to destroy the enemy's naval fleet as much as possible and cut off the enemy's retreat."
Lu Zongzhi frowned: "What does this mean? Are you so sure that Liu Yi's Yuzhou Army will take the initiative to attack and will definitely fail?"
Liu Daogui nodded firmly and said: "Yes, I am almost certain that something like this will happen, and I must prepare for such a disaster and try my best to prevent or delay it. Think about it, just more than half a year ago, Wuji
When I was just defeated, the situation in Jiangling was even worse than it is now, but the demon thieves only left Huan Qian and Gou Lin here to contain us, while the two thieves Lu and Xu went westward with all their strength, for what purpose?"
Lu Zongzhi nodded: "Of course I want to make a big push. Taking advantage of the great opportunity that He Wuji has just been defeated and Jiangzhou has been destroyed, we can attack Yuzhou directly. As long as we can defeat Liu Yi, we can directly attack Jiankang."
Liu Daogui nodded: "This is the demon thief. I have followed my elder brother and fought with them for many years. The most profound experience I have is that their tactics are cunning and endlessly changing. But one thing is that they will make every effort to fight against them."
Concentrate superior forces to attack one part of our army, creating a local situation where more and less are defeated, and the strong defeats the weak. Once such an opportunity arises, they will not hesitate to attack with all their main forces until the enemy is defeated. This is how they raise their troops.
Since then, the attacks have been so fierce and almost unstoppable."

Liu Zunkao said thoughtfully: "From what Zheng Xi said, it's really true. The demon thieves always concentrate their superior forces to attack one point, but this time Lu Xun personally led the naval fleet to attack Jiangling. Xu Daofu stayed behind.
Continuing to confront Brother Xile in Yuzhang is not in line with their previous style of play."
Tan Daoji nodded: "Last time, the demon thieves joined forces and pointed directly at Yuzhou. The situation was very dangerous. However, the two main forces of Lu Xun and Xu Daofu did not even care about Jingzhou, leaving only Huan Qian and Gou Lin.
The purpose of detachment of troops should be to delay time, rather than to expect them to really capture Jiangling. If it were not for Zhengxi's great power, when the army was unfavorable, Jiangling was an isolated city, and the people were rebellious, the situation of the battle was reversed, and they were wiped out continuously.
With two armies of thieves, I'm afraid not only we can't protect ourselves, but even Brother Xile will have a hard time withstanding the attack of the demon thieves at that time."
Lu Gui laughed, and now he found another opportunity to speak: "I still don't understand why the demon thieves at that time didn't attack Jiangling with all their strength, and then marched eastward to Yuzhou. If the demon thieves at that time were also two big thieves who joined forces,
We will attack Jiangling with all our strength. Even with the bravery of the expedition to the west, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist."
Liu Daogui nodded: "Yes, I admit that based on the situation at the time, if the demon thieves attacked Jiangling with all their strength, I might not be able to hold on for half a year, and Brother Xile would never be able to send troops to rescue him under the circumstances at that time, but
In this way, the demon thieves can take Jiangling, but there is no possibility of advancing eastward. Their opponent may change from the Jin Dynasty to Huan Qian who fights back to Jingzhou, and who only wants to plunder, which represents
Gou Lin, who has interests in the Later Qin Dynasty, and even Qiao Shu may join in the chaos."
Tan Daoji suddenly realized: "So, they took the initiative to march eastward to avoid fighting with these seemingly incompatible allies because of Jingzhou? Isn't it to defeat Brother Xile quickly?"
Liu Daogui said sternly: "The rapid attack on Xile is also a reason, but that is secondary. If we can attack quickly, we will naturally go all out. If we are blocked, we may come back and capture Jingzhou again, but they did not expect that,
I quickly eliminated Huan Qian and Gou Lin, not only regained the entire territory of Jingzhou, opened up the connection with Yongzhou, and allowed General Lu to join us together, but also began to threaten the supply lines in Changsha and Baling. Therefore, the demon thieves were in a dilemma, and the offensive was temporarily
It just stopped.”
"Of course, thanks to Huaiyu, when Brother Xile was temporarily unable to command the entire army due to illness, relying on his own troops, he blocked the joint land and water attack of the demon thieves in the Anqing area, forming a stalemate and giving the Yuzhou Army a heavy blow.
He bought time and fought hundreds of battles with monsters and thieves, winning more than he lost. His contribution is no less than mine."
Tan Daoji smiled and said: "The two brothers of the Meng family, Meng Long and Huaiyu, are both rare generals. It's a pity that Meng Long, alas... But Zhengxi, you mean the demon thief.
Returning to Lu Xun to return to the army, while Xu Daofu stayed where he was, is he trying to deceive Brother Xile into attacking?"
Liu Daogui nodded: "Yes, if Lu Xun really wanted to be Jiangling, he would only leave a partial force on the front line to resist Huaiyu, and would never split his forces with Xu Daofu, or else he would ignore Changsha's retreat and attack with all his strength.
Breaking through the front of Huaiyu, but dividing the troops is a taboo for military strategists. Unless the two giant thieves within the demon thief openly fall out, this will never happen."
Tan Daoji's expression changed: "You mean, they are deliberately creating signs that the demon thieves are dividing their forces, and are actually trying to lure Brother Xile to attack?"
Liu Daogui said seriously: "Yes, what I am most worried about is that the demon thief will reproduce the tactics he used to ambush General Xie Yan, and take advantage of Brother Xile's mentality of wanting to compete with my elder brother for credit, and then think that the demon thief has returned to the navy.
There was no more force on the river that could stop him, so he advanced by land and water, and joined forces with Huaiyu at the front for a decisive battle with Xu Daofu. In fact, with Xile's personality, even Huaiyu might not be able to tolerate him and would transfer him to
From the rear, you are in charge."
Tan Daoji gritted his teeth: "During the Western Expedition, Brother Xile did this. He sent Brother Daogui to another place, and he wanted to seize the attack to conquer Jiangling. If Huan Zhen hadn't been so fierce and difficult to control later,
, after defeating Brother Wuji, I'm afraid he won't even call you back to join forces to attack Huan Zhen. This time, I'm afraid the things of the past will happen again. Brother Daogui, I understand what you mean, you want to rob
Before Brother Xile does something bad, we must first try our best to defeat the enemy's navy and threaten Changsha so that even if the demon thieves can defeat Brother Xile, they will not dare to march eastward and attack Jiankang, right?"
Liu Daogui sighed: "I also hope that my prediction is wrong, but as a general, you should consider defeat before winning. It is impossible for the monsters and thieves to really divide their troops. Either Xu Daofu also came secretly and was in the army.
The command is either that Lu Xun himself is not here, but on the front line of Yuzhang. In either case, I cannot sit in Jiangling City and wait and see what happens. I must take the initiative to attack. The enemy's real strategic intention is to attack
It takes a dozen to expose him."
