Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi shook their heads at the same time. Sima Guofan said: "I only know that the defense and inspections in Yuzhou have been strengthened recently, and the Liyang camp has been completely closed. No one is allowed to approach within five miles. Our
The spies observed from a distance and saw that the camp was noisy every day, the shouts of killing during drills could not be heard, and the sound of war drums could be heard for miles. It seemed that the troops were arranging and training the troops."
Sima Chuzhi followed up and said: "Every day during the day, you can still see troops heading to the camp from different directions. It seems that they are reinforcements from Jiankang, Jiangbei and other places, and they go straight into the Liyang camp. What's more,
Dozens of carts of grain, fodder and baggage arrived there, probably preparing for war. It seems that Liu Yi is mobilizing troops and horses to prepare for an attack."
Yao Shao frowned: "How is this possible? The battle over Jingzhou has been over for half a month, and the entire navy of Tianshi Dao has been wiped out. Liu Yi is still preparing to send troops with great fanfare at this time. It is incredible. If I
It's Liu Yi, he was dispatched twenty days ago."
Sima Guofan shook his head in disbelief: "No way, Shao Shuai, although you are a famous general, you can't judge the past from the results. Now we don't know the outcome of the Battle of Jiangling, but what did you do twenty days ago?"
Do you know? It was about ten days ago that we received the news about the Battle of Gangneung. Even if we set out at that time, we would not go back ten days."
Yao Shao said coldly: "If I were Liu Daogui, I would not fight this battle rashly without Liu Yi taking any action. If I lose, Jingzhou will be doomed. Even if there is no heavy loss, it is just to defeat Tianshi Dao."
The naval force left the defense force insufficient. When the main forces of Lu Xun and Xu Daofu's army came back to attack Jiangling City, they would still be unable to defend it. To fight this battle, Liyang's attack was necessary to contain it.
At the worst, even if we are defeated, we cannot forcefully abandon Jingzhou and break out to the east to find a way to meet up with Li Ji. This requires the support of the Liyang Army."
Sima Chuzhi nodded repeatedly and said in admiration: "Shao Shuai is indeed a famous general. This analysis is very reasonable. However, the Liyang Army has been standing still. Could it be that Liu Daogui's partial division was sent to respond?"
Yao Shao shook his head: "If Liyang wants to attack, he must want to make a contribution on his own. He will never let Liu Daogui fight this battle on the front line. Moreover, the army's actions must be concealed. If Liyang really wants to attack, he will definitely do it."
They stopped their flags, marched day and night, and even used civilian ships and supply ships to the front line to secretly transport troops, marching in small groups in batches, and meeting at the front line by appointment."
"Liyang did this in order to catch Tianshi Dao off guard, because Meng Huaiyu used those deceptions to defeat the navy of Tianshi Dao, and Liyang either didn't fight, or he had to win a bigger battle than Meng Huaiyu.
Therefore, he must have secretly sent out troops, and then prepared to pursue the enemy when Tianshi Dao knew that Jiangling was defeated and the soldiers were unsettled and wanted to cast a spell."
Sima Guofan's eyes lit up: "Didn't Commander Shao mean that what we saw was Liyang deliberately setting up suspicious soldiers to confuse us? In fact, his troops had already attacked, and in Liu Yi's camp, there were only
Is it just a show for the public?"
Yao Shao nodded: "It should be like that. If the camp really wants to practice, it should be secretly sneaking into some temporary valleys and dense forests to train, and it will never happen when Liu Yi is not fighting, not in normal times.
, all mobilizations and the number of troops are confidential. After the troops from various places gather, they need to go to the front line immediately. They must not stay in one place for too long. Of course, those military aircraft are difficult for the generals to understand, and only experienced generals can see them.
Flaw. If I hadn’t fought so many battles with Hu Xia’s Liu Bobo, I’d probably be just like the other seven, indistinguishable.”
Kumarajiva's eyes flashed with heat and his white eyebrows raised: "By the time he found out the information, the military plane would have been lost long ago. Let me tell you, now Liu Yi's guard is Liu Daogui, who was captured by Li Yang in the Eighth Route Army.
He was secretly replaced from the front line ten days ago. Now he has about 4,000 troops, in addition to 2,800 strong men and local garrison troops drawn from various places to guard Li Ji's camp."
Kumarajiva sighed: "The seven of you have been able to establish a foothold in Changshe in the past few years. In fact, you really have to thank Liyang for his selfishness. He wanted to make you stronger and pose a threat to Yuzhou or even attack a few of them.
Prefectures and counties, this will have enough excuses to attack you on the charge of killing and plundering the people and infringing upon the Jin Dynasty, just like Liu Yu did when he destroyed Nanyan, and then attack the Central Plains of the Qin Dynasty. If it were not the Qin Dynasty this time
The army is coming, if you want to take advantage of the chaos and do something, you are afraid that you will end up like Huan Qian!"
Kumarajiva sighed: "Seven generals, you are too impatient. Have you forgotten what I just said? Let's not talk about this kind of causal cycle or the consequences of offending Jin and losing the opportunity to cooperate. Let's just talk about it.
In terms of military affairs, only by knowing the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. I would like to ask you, do you know who Liu Yi's guard is now, how many troops there are, and what their combat effectiveness is?"
Yao Shao said coldly: "All Buddhist temples in the world, all monks and novices, can become the eyes and ears of the National Preceptor. If there is no such intelligence ability, how can the National Preceptor assist the Qin Dynasty and govern the country and bring peace to the world? It is a pity that Yuzhang on the front line
All news in this area has been blocked, even monks are prohibited from entering. I originally hoped that some of you could sneak into the Liyang Army to find out the news, but it seems that we will be disappointed again." Sima Chuzhi opened his eyes wide:
"Those, those military intelligences, how could the National Advisor know about them?"
"The troops you see coming from various places during the day are mostly a cover-up. Liu Daogui asked them to march on the main road during the day. At night, he changed his military uniforms and quietly went out by a small road, seventeen miles away, and then walked again during the day.
The only one actually marching was Liyang's wife Liu Tingyun, who brought thousands of baggage carriers and more than 2,000 prostitutes recruited from all over Yuzhou to go to the front line to labor and supply supplies."
Sima Guofan was sweating profusely after hearing this. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat and said: "The Imperial Master is absolutely right. We really don't know the heights of the world. If we hadn't met you this time, I'm afraid we would have died in the attack.
Liu Yi has won this battle. I will send more manpower now, even if it involves a few spies, we must find out the military situation of the Jin army!"
Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi suddenly turned red and lowered their heads in shame: "Sorry, we really didn't know. We thought Li Ji was still in Liu Yi. If it weren't for Shaoshuai's analysis just now, we wouldn't have known about him.
left."
Sima Chuzhi suddenly realized it and said seriously: "So, Liu Yi's defenders are playing an empty city trick with us, so what should we do now? Should we simply attack first and capture Liu Yi?"
Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi shook their heads at the same time. Sima Guofan said: "I only know that the defense and inspections in Yuzhou have been strengthened recently, and the Liyang camp has been completely closed. No one is allowed to approach within five miles. Our
