The black robe curled up his lips: "More than half of the more than 200,000 people are just the newly attached tyrants and bandits. The headquarters of Tianshi Dao still only has more than 50,000 troops, and some of them have to be contained.
We cannot attack Jiankang with all our strength in the Jingzhou area. We only need to hold the Liyang line to prevent it from breaking through the land. Tianshi Dao's naval warships have already suffered heavy losses in Jingzhou. If the army cannot break through, we can only rely on water
The teacher’s words cannot pose a real threat to Jiankang.”
Having said this, he looked at Yao Shao: "This time, the Qin army has enough troops of 100,000, or is it a so-called one?"
Yao Shao glanced at Kumarajiva and did not answer directly. Kumarajiva said: "Since we are allies asking, we should tell the truth. This is the basis of cooperation. Lord Dongping, please speak frankly.
Yao Shao nodded: "Since the imperial master has given the order, I dare not disobey it. The troops I brought this time are 107,000, including 17,000 cavalry and 90,000 infantry. I will return to Luoyang later.
There are about 30,000 soldiers and horses to prevent the Yongzhou troops of the Jin Army from sneak attacks. If there is a reconciliation with the Jin State, then these soldiers and horses can also be mobilized to support about 20,000 soldiers and horses. In addition, there should be 10,000 soldiers and horses under Foreign Fan and Chu Zhi.
Yu, right."
Sima Guofan sighed: "As I said just now, our subordinates together with their families are only more than 20,000, and the number of subordinates with combat effectiveness is only between 6,000 and 7,000. There are not as many as you said. However, Chu
My brothers have recently recruited some stragglers from the Yan Kingdom who escaped after the fall of Nan Yan, and there must be two to three thousand people."
Sima Chuzhi's face changed slightly, and he secretly cursed Sima Guofan for being unkind. He finally hid some people secretly and betrayed them to him. But now, he could only cough dryly and said: "Those newly attached people
, I am not familiar with it yet, and I don’t know if there are spies sent by Jiankang. They cannot be used directly in battle. Moreover, in order to monitor them, I have to leave at least one or two thousand people, so Guofan and I
My men and horses can only dispatch about 7,000 people at most to move with the army."
The black robe smiled slightly: "That's enough. It's pretty much what I imagined. The Qin army is the main force. There are 7,000 men from the seven Sima clans. Plus Meng Huaiyu's troops from Liyang, there are more than 100,000 people."
, enough to block Tianshi Dao. This time Tianshi Dao is not taking advantage of Liu Yi's victory and high morale to attack Zhou Ji in one fell swoop. If he misses this opportunity and is held here for several months, then Jian
Kang can regain his breath, and soldiers and horses from other places in the Jin Kingdom can also be recruited, including Liu Daogui here in Jingzhou. He can also harass the grain roads and front lines of Tianshi Dao, and even directly attack the base of Guangzhou. This is unacceptable to Tianshi Dao.
Yes, they will definitely attack."
"I think back then, the Qin State also sent troops to rescue Qiaoshu. At that time, it also sent 20,000 troops to fight against the Shu-destroying army led by Liu Jingxuan for half a year. There was no major battle, but the Jin army was still short of food and grass, so it had to march in.
I hope that this time, we can repeat the success of saving Shu."
Liu Yu said coldly: "However, we haven't contacted the Jin State yet. Just now, the Imperial Adviser said that we are not completely qualified to send troops. Even if we want to help the Jin State now, a hundred thousand troops are pressing down on us.
On the border, Meng Huaiyu of Liyang will probably regard us as an enemy taking advantage of the situation and come to fight us first. Moreover, if the conditions for expelling Jiankang, Zhou Jisheng becoming a monk, coming to Daqin to be a hostage, and pardoning Brother Sima are met, he will
The supplementary meeting will send troops to rescue Jin."
The face of the black robe changed slightly: "What, Wang Miaoyin became a monk and went to Daqin to be a hostage. What's going on?"
The black robe's face was solemn and he said: "I just met Doupeng. Don't worry about the Qin army sending troops. Let's take a look at Jiankang's actions first. If he really returns to Yao Shao, then all of our
All plans are scrapped, because if Jiankang doesn't go back, it's impossible to invite the Qin army to help. We have to find another way!" Kumarajiva's face changed: "You don't want your life? Come back now.
Aren’t you going to die?”
Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi shook their heads and quickly caught up with Liu Yu. Soon, only Heipao and Kumarajiva were left in the county government office.
Liu Yu was a little surprised and looked at Kumarajiva: "Didn't the Imperial Master discuss this matter with the black-robed god?"
Liu Yu stood up and walked directly out of the door. As he left, he turned to look at Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi who were whispering: "You two, Sima Gong, aren't you leaving yet? I think we should discuss joining forces to march together first.
We don't have many things to do
There’s no need to hide our family wealth, soldiers and horses from you.”
The black robe gritted his teeth: "But Wang Miaoyin is the queen after all. She forced the queen to become a monk, and even went to the Qin State to be a hostage. She might even humiliate Yao Xing. Even if she was his female apprentice, it would not be an honor.
I'm just afraid that it will anger Zhou Ji and make him refuse to cooperate?"
The black-robed eyes were shining with heat, but his voice was as accurate as usual: "In this case, please ask Duke Dongping and the two Sima Dukes to step away for a while, and I will discuss the details with the Imperial Master."
Kumarajiva smiled slightly: "I am doing this for his own good. Wang Miaoyin can master the jade seal in one day in the palace, and can issue orders in the name of the emperor. If he is not handed over, how can you regain control of the central government through Sima Dewen?
, issue an edict?"
The black robe sighed: "I still don't understand Jiankang. I can't stop Wang Miaoyin from becoming a monk in the future, not because I want to sacrifice my woman for a big event, but because I live in the grassland and don't know about Wang Miaoyin becoming a monk at all.
Based on my understanding of Jiankang, if you put forward such a condition, he will definitely refuse it flatly. Even if he risks his own life and returns to Yao Shao alone, he will not ask for help from Great Qin."
The face of the black robe became extremely clear: "Master monk, you didn't discuss such an important matter with me and let Liu Yu prepare a proposal. Are you not taking me seriously?"
Kumarajiva said fiercely: "This condition was added by the King of Heaven later. It was not agreed between me and the Lord at that time, so I didn't know about it. I was just about to discuss this matter with the Lord."
Kumarajiva said coldly: "I don't have the ability to agree to cooperate. Just like back then, I knew that Wang Miaoyin became a monk and that Murong Lan ran away, but I couldn't stop it. What you did is asking me to give up the central government of Jin from now on.
The great power can only be the land of Qilu, and at most the border generals in Xuzhou in the north of the Yangtze River. It is impossible to control the entire Jin State. After expelling me from the central court, Buddhism can be introduced into the Jin State.
Let everyone in the Jin Kingdom, from the emperor to the aristocratic families, to the common people, believe in Buddhism, and use Buddhist ideas to counter Jiankang's theory of military promotion and equality for everyone. Isn't this what you have planned for a long time?
