Liu Yi sneered and said: "The ruling and opposition parties are clearing up the discussion? Clearing up the discussion! Isn't it the attitude of the noble family? These parasites who are just waiting to die, what do they know? Now that they no longer have the ability to control the army, they can't control it."
The only thing left is the ability to adapt to the wind. Even if Huan Xuan leads troops to the capital, he can frighten them to the point where they kneel down and beg for mercy and support them to persuade them to come."
Liu Fan shook his head: "Brother, you can't look down on the noble family like this. After all, they have been in charge of the central power of the Jin Dynasty for hundreds of years. They own all the grain, grass, ordnance, and manpower of Wu. They also supply the materials we need for the war."
We cannot do without their support. Even Liu Yu's Northern Expedition to Southern Yan this time, if he had not received their supplies, he would not have been able to fight for a year until the country was destroyed."
Liu Yi curled his lips: "Wu is not the only place in the world that produces troops and food. My Yuzhou has been operating for several years, and it is enough to supply an army of 50,000 for three years. Not to mention Jiangzhou and Jingzhou
In these important towns, local output and manpower alone are enough to form an army. Over the years, I have relied on Liu Tingyun to win over many children from aristocratic families, such as Xie Hun, Xi Senshi and other prominent figures in the aristocratic families, who have all been used by me.
, as long as I can successfully defeat the demon thieves this time, and take great credit as the coach like the last Western Expedition, then they will definitely have a way to help me win power in the court. At least, if Liu Yu becomes a cavalry general, I can also be one.
General Hussar, let us all sit on equal footing and share the world equally!"
Liu Fan gritted his teeth: "But since you rejected Liu Yu's proposal and launched an attack on your own to quell the demon-thief rebellion as the commander-in-chief, then the proposal he originally agreed to give up as the governor of Jingzhou will not count. Is it possible?
Can you still send troops to attack Liu Daogui and seize the land of Jingzhou?"
Liu Yi sneered and said: "Fan, think about it, after we defeated Huan Xuan in the last western expedition, who was the successor to the governor of Jingzhou?"
A trace of suspicion flashed across Liu Fan's face: "It's Sima Xiuzhi, but he has no soldiers or generals, and he himself has no ability. He brought hundreds of personal guards to take charge of Jiangling. As a result, Huan Zhen raided Jiangling. He
He immediately abandoned the city and fled. Afterwards, he was held accountable, dismissed from his position as Jingzhou governor, and appointed as the governor of Kuaiji. And the position of Jingzhou governor fell to Liu Daogui."
Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's it. As long as the governor fails to fight well and cannot protect the place where he is, then according to the laws and military laws of the Jin Dynasty, he will have to be dismissed from office. The reason why Wuji is so lighthearted
One reason for the rash advance of troops was misjudgment of the situation. Another reason was that Nankang, an important town under his jurisdiction and an outpost for attacking Lingnan, was lost. As the governor, he had to take it back, otherwise he would be charged with losing his land.
It’s hard to keep his position as the general who conquered the South.”
Liu Fan frowned: "So, Liu Daogui lost all the counties in Jingnan in the previous war, and only Wuling County is still struggling to support it in the hands of Tan Zhi. That is already a crime of losing territory and can be dismissed.
Has he been appointed governor?"
Liu Yi said sternly: "We are still fighting, and changing generals before battle is a taboo for military strategists. Therefore, no one can impeach Liu Daogui at this time, and no one can replace him. But after the war, he defeated Huan Qian and Gou Lin.
His merits are not enough to offset his crime of losing the Jingnan counties. As long as he is not allowed to regain the Jingnan counties, then I will instruct Xie Hun and others to impeach Liu Daogui. I am afraid that even Liu Yu will not be able to save him."
"At most, I will give him the position of governor of Yanzhou in exchange for Liu Yu handing over Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, and Guangzhou. Only in this way can I be said to be on an equal footing with Liu Yu. By then you will be in charge of the land north of Jingzhou and Jiangzhou.
, let Ah Cui take over the four counties in Jingnan, I will still go out to control Yuzhou, and the land of Jiangzhou will be given to Meng Huaiyu, so that our brothers and allies, the Lao Meng family, will occupy half of the country in the west of the Jin Dynasty."
"As for the land of Guangzhou, after the demon thieves are eliminated, Yang Sui or Zhao Yi can take over, or simply give it to Xie Hun as a favor. Anyway, that place does not expect to produce troops or food. Jiankang City's aristocratic families
If the high-ranking people like to go there to collect money, just leave it to them."
Thinking of this, Liu Yi felt proud and smiled unconsciously, and continued: "As for Qiao Shu in the west, after the demon thieves are eliminated, they will be destroyed with victorious troops. The Shu territory was originally owned by the Mao family.
, as a result, when Huan Chu was destroyed last time, the Mao family suffered a catastrophe, and the entire family died. Only Mao Xiuzhi escaped with his life because he was guarding his grandfather’s coffin back in Beijing. Xiao Mao has been following me and Liu Daogui all these years.
He is considered half of my subordinates. When the time comes, I will give him 20,000 troops from the Western Expedition Army to recover Shu and avenge the Mao family. After this is accomplished, he will be grateful to me for giving him this opportunity and will definitely be loyal to
I."
Liu Fan laughed: "Brother, it turns out that everything has been arranged a long time ago, so what are we waiting for? Please give me the order to attack. Now that the demon thief's navy fleet is gone, we can completely attack them by land and water.
Defeated."
Having said this, Liu Fan pointed at the Tianshi Dao camp in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Just like what the elder brother said, the main force of the demon thieves, the old thieves, may have already escaped during the defense change a few days ago, leaving behind the miscellaneous ones.
The troops were stalling for time here, but these people found out that they had been abandoned. They were not stupid, so they simply robbed the baggage overnight and dispersed the birds and beasts. This shows that the demon thieves' military morale has been dispersed. As long as we work harder and pursue the victory, we will surely win.
Just like how Wu Di suppressed the rebellion, we can chase the demon thieves all the way and beat them until they are completely defeated!"
Liu Yi waved his hand: "Now is not the time, don't be too hasty, Afan, after all, the demon thieves are commanded by an old thief like Xu Daofu, who is well versed in the art of war. Maybe they are just confusing us now and tempting us to advance with light troops. Their main force
We were not defeated, or even suffered a fatal blow. Even if we returned to the army, we still had fighting strength. If we were forced to turn around and fight us decisively, we left the strong camp. Even if we won in the field, we would suffer heavy losses.
At that time, we may not have enough energy to expand the size of the army and regain the land of Jingnan."
"If we fight against the monster thieves and lose both sides, we actually take advantage of Liu Daogui and allow him to take advantage of the opportunity to regain the Jingnan counties. Then all the good things we just mentioned will not be able to continue."
Liu Fan frowned: "Then what should we do? Do we have to watch the main force of the demon thieves retreat, or even unite with the naval fleet to attack Jiangling?"
Liu Yi laughed and patted Liu Fan on the shoulder: "Yes, this is the result I want. If Liu Daogui is not allowed to be trapped in Jiangling and fight to the death with the demon thieves, how can I reap the benefits? Jiangling is the best place.
Under siege, Liu Daogui fought tooth and nail to defend the city, and when he could no longer hold on any longer, I went to rescue him. By then, the Jingzhou governor might not have the face to die."
