Xie Daoyun frowned slightly: "What do you mean? Do you want to say that the conditions proposed by Qin this time are still a test? If we give in, they will attack with all their strength?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "I think we must first figure out the real opponent. Only in this way can we make a reasonable and correct judgment. It seems that our enemy is a demon thief, but in fact, the real enemy is hidden behind it."
, it’s the Tiandao Alliance.”
Meng Chang nodded: "I agree with Jinu's opinion on this point. The demon thieves raised their troops this time. They will never cause such a storm by themselves, especially the means and tactics used to defeat Xi Le's army this time.
, it is almost exactly the same as the tactics you used when you faced the black-robed Murong Chui this time in Nanyan. The immortal monster carried by the Kongming Lantern falling from the sky, a large number of wooden armor mechanisms, except for the armored cavalry, almost everything you encountered
, Xi Le encountered them all.”
Liu Yu frowned slightly: "How did you know about the situation on the battlefield?"
Meng Chang sighed: "I have my own spies, not only in our army, but also among the demon thieves. I have reminded Xi Le many times before, telling him not to be careless. He must wait for you to come back and join forces to defeat him.
Thief, but in the end, he was still fooled because of his utilitarianism. Moreover, the letter you sent to Xile was also tampered with. The letter Xile received said that you only gave him the governorship of Jingzhou.
, there was no mention at all about Shangshu Ling and the commander of the Beifu Army."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "It seems that the power of the Tiandao Alliance exceeds our imagination. The cloak still has not surfaced, but it can make such a big noise. And this time the Qin army and the demon thieves came together,
I thought that Cloak was still controlling us behind the scenes, and this letter of credence was just to test us."
Xie Daoyun shook his head in disbelief: "Then why don't the two sides simply join forces and attack our Jin Dynasty at the same time? Wouldn't it be unnecessary to test with credentials like this?"
Liu Yu said coldly: "Because the opponent doesn't know my real trump card, and I don't know if I can hide my strength. Just like when Sun En attacked Jingkou, it seemed that Jin could no longer resist, but I could use Murong Lan to stay.
Weapons were stored in Jingkou, and nearly 10,000 Jingkou elders were temporarily armed to participate in the war. Using our advantages in combat effectiveness and combat skills, we defeated the army of demon thieves who were far more numerous than us in one fell swoop."
"It's the same this time. We go deep into Nanyan alone, and we have to face all the evil technologies of the Tiandao Alliance, as well as the armored cavalry that have been rampant in the north for many years. It seems that we have no chance of winning, but after more than a year, we
However, they defeated Nanyan. After destroying Yan, they secretly spread the plague. They expected to use this method to wipe out our army in one fell swoop, but we discovered it in time and detoxified it. Now they can't be sure about us.
Is the army really suffering from the epidemic, or is it a bluff, because the troops use their strength to deceive, and they are bluffing and bluffing.”
Xie Daoyun nodded: "So, seeing that you dared to return to Jiankang, they didn't dare to act rashly. They thought you had enough assurance and confidence to come back, right?"
Liu Yu sighed: "Madam, you really shouldn't have let Tao Yuanming come over. It's hard to determine the identity of this person now. Whether he is a member of the Tiandao Alliance or not, I can't even draw a conclusion. I have been asking Fatty to investigate. And just now I gave our military information
I revealed something, and now it’s really not a good thing for him to hear it.”
Meng Chang gritted his teeth: "Then just kill him to avoid future troubles."
Liu Yu frowned: "That's not possible. Tao Yuanming is too famous. If I attack him at this time, everyone in the world will be in danger. Moreover, I want to borrow this person again."
If you conduct some tests, maybe you can get the inside story of the Tiandao Alliance from him."
Meng Chang sighed: "But bluffing without strength cannot scare anyone. In any case, Tianshi Dao's soldiers and horses will definitely attack Jiankang quickly. It is difficult to resist with the existing troops we have.
If Jiankang cannot be defended, what should we do?"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Our Jiangbei and Qingzhou can send 60,000 to 70,000 reinforcements. As long as it takes a month, this army can go into battle. Before I came, I had given a secret order to let the sea ships in the Donglai area
Transport the troops infected with the epidemic from Qingzhou, take the sea route to Hudu or Kuaiji, and then come to rescue Jiankang from Wudi. As long as Jiankang can hold on for a month, the situation can be reversed."
"But now we need to show strength and conceal the movements of the army in Qingzhou. The reason why the Qin army is now approaching the border of Yuzhou but not taking the initiative to attack is to see if we are really weak. If we agree to his condition,
If we hand over Miaoyin, they will decide that we are not strong enough and would rather hand over Miaoyin than beg for external help. In this way, instead of fighting the demon thieves, they will attack Qingzhou and Jiangbei with all their strength to hold back our northern forces.
Reinforcements. Support the demon thieves."
"And the excuse they can come up with is to help Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi return. They did not write these requests in the credentials to leave room for leeway. If we reject the return and pardon of these two traitors, then
They can then send troops to attack openly, and it can even be said that they are attacking Liu Yu instead of becoming enemies of the Jin Dynasty."
Meng Chang's eyes were shining with light, and he said thoughtfully: "Listening to your analysis, they are indeed vicious. So is the purpose of the Qin army to test the strength of our troops? Are you so sure?
The Qin army is also controlled by the Tiandao Alliance?"
Liu Yu sighed: "This is just my intuition and guess, but in my opinion, when Murong Chui was in black robe, the Qin army might not be under his control, otherwise, he wouldn't be in extreme danger.
When Guanggu was besieged, the Qin army only issued threats instead of coming in force."
"But Kumarajiva did send a mission to us and even issued a threat to us. Judging from this incident, I think it is possible that Kumarajiva of the Later Qin Dynasty colluded with that cloak, but it was not a black case.
Now that the black-robed Murong Chui has been eliminated, Doupeng controls the entire Tiandao League, and the demon thieves and the Qin army came at the same time, I don’t think it is a coincidence, so we cannot accept their request.
Instead, reject it outright."
Xie Daoyun breathed a long sigh of relief: "But if the Qin army directly attacks Qingzhou and Yuzhou, and then attacks the areas north of the Yangtze River, you can withdraw Qingzhou's troops and horses now and let the Qin army try it out, or simply drag them back in Qingzhou. There is no way.
What should we do if we return to Jiankang to defend the city?"
