Meng Chang nodded and said: "Since you are doubting Tao Yuanming, can't we put Tao Yuanming back to recover? What if he tells the Qin army what is true and false about our situation? Then if the Qin army joins forces with the monster thieves,
If we come here to attack Jiankang, our pressure will be much greater." Ye
Liu Yu said calmly: "I have just analyzed that Qin may not be like Nanyan. It is simply the black robe that controls everything. Yao Xing is unlikely to be Doupeng, because he cannot leave the emperor alone and run around all day long.
The Jin Dynasty in the south came to plot. At most, Doupeng had some friendship with Kumarajiva. Using his identity as a national advisor, he could influence Yao Xing. But in the final analysis, the actions of the Qin army must comply with the minimum requirements of the Later Qin Dynasty.
It’s only about interests. It’s impossible to fight solely for the Tiandao Alliance. On the contrary, it will harm the interests of our country.”
"If taking advantage of the civil war in the Jin Dynasty to seize the land of Yuzhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou can stabilize the Central Plains and be beneficial to Qin, then attacking Jiankang will be harmful to them but not beneficial. Tianshi Dao
The Qin army will never be allowed to occupy the land in the south of the Yangtze River. This alone is enough. When the time comes, the Qin State will lose its troops and generals. Even if it takes Jiankang, it will gain nothing in terms of land. Even Sima Guofan and Sima Chu who want to send back
In addition, Tianshi Tao, which also uses the banner of destroying Jin, will never accept it. Even if they successfully join forces with Tianshi Tao to destroy Jin, they will immediately turn against each other. This is why Qin wants to test our attitude.
The reason why you want to make peace with us."
Xie Daoyun smiled and said: "Didn't you analyze just now that this was for the purpose of testing Tianshi Dao? Once we really hand over Miaoyin, will they attack our northern territory?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "This is just the highest possibility. Another possibility is that the Qin army will continue to stand still, or it will only allow Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi to seize some territory in Yuzhou and Yanzhou to stand on their own, and then wait and see us.
As a result of the decisive battle with Tianshi Dao, if we win, then they may improve relations with us and return the land and people."
Meng Chang breathed a long sigh of relief: "So, what you mean is that the Tiandao Alliance may not be able to control these 100,000 Qin troops. Our attitude towards the Qin army is still neither humble nor arrogant, but we must leave room to avoid fighting with them. We should try our best to avoid fighting with them."
Is it better to avoid it?”
Liu Yu said seriously: "Yes, the Qin army actually seems to be powerful, but there are still two threats. One is Lu Zongzhi in Yongzhou, who can directly take their Luoyang, and the other is the Northern Wei Dynasty in Hebei and Bingzhou. Although the Northern Wei Dynasty
In the past two years, foreign military operations have been temporarily abandoned due to the death of Tuoba Si. However, after all, the Northern Wei Dynasty was strong and powerful. It had wiped out the elite main force of the Later Qin in the past. There was a deep old grudge between the two countries. This
When the Qin army sends troops to Guandong, the Northern Wei Dynasty will also feel the pressure. Who knows whether the Qin army will take the opportunity to seize the northern Yanzhou territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, or go north to attack Bingzhou?"
"So, when Liu Muzhi is in Qingzhou, he will try to use people from Southern Yan who have friendship with the Northern Wei Dynasty to persuade them to persuade the Northern Wei Dynasty and maintain pressure on the Qin army. The Qin army does not dare to rush deep into our territory or expose its flanks
Give it to Lu Zongzhi or the Northern Wei army. Once we can defend Jiankang and withstand the most ferocious wave of demon thieves, the Qin army will naturally retreat without a fight. Therefore, we do not need to think too much about the threat of the Qin army.
But we should focus our main energy on the demon thief." Ye.
Meng Chang nodded: "Before you came just now, Xianzhi took the initiative to express his willingness to take out his Xu family's secret guards and troops and integrate them into the army defending the city, and Mrs. Xie also made the same statement.
, if aristocratic families like them take the lead and other families follow suit, there will be an additional ten to twenty thousand soldiers in the city, which will increase our chances of victory."
Liu Yu said calmly: "Soldiers are more valuable than finesse. Victory or defeat cannot be determined by just looking at the number of people. There may seem to be 200,000 monster thieves, but the real fighting power is only 40,000 to 50,000 old thieves."
, and then our surrendered troops and prisoners, if they are forced to serve the demon thieves, their number of combatable men should be close to one hundred thousand."
"Now, including Meng Huaiyu's withdrawn troops, there are about 20,000 combatable troops in our city. I have asked Suo Miao to urgently bring more than 1,000 Xianbei armored cavalry troops, equipped with tiger skins, and organized into tiger and leopard cavalry. It should be
We can arrive within a day or two. As long as we have cavalry, we will be confident that we can defeat the demon thieves who mainly use short weapons in the field and defeat their attempt to force a landing at Shogun Mountain and Jingkou in the north of the city."
"As for the mouth of the Qinhuai River in the south, it is the most critical place. This is where a large number of civilian ships and merchant fleets enter in peacetime, but now in wartime, it is the most vulnerable area to attack. Xinting in the center of the river is facing
At the mouth of the river, the water is relatively slow. If the monster thieves don't stop after they arrive, and the whole army forces a landing at Xinting, and then burns the boats and forms a formation to show their determination to never come back, and fight us desperately, that is the strategy we are most afraid of.
Already."
Xie Daoyun frowned: "How should we deal with this kind of play?"
Liu Yu sighed: "The enemy troops have just arrived, they have just won a battle, they are well supplied, and they are very energetic. They come to ask for a quick battle, but we hope to hold them off until our reinforcements arrive.
The enemy's morale has declined, so this time, we cannot choose the way we fought in Jingkou last time and fight the enemy decisively. Instead, we must hold on as long as possible without fighting. The enemy's Xinting came ashore to fight us decisively. We
You can’t fall into their trap, you must avoid their edge.”
"We must put the main force in the Stone City in the south and the fortresses around Yanziji. We must rely on the castle and strictly prevent it from being defended. In addition, at the entrance of the Qinhuai River, shipwrecks, rocks, and sharp piles must be placed to prevent enemy ships from forcibly rushing into the river mouth.
, attack our Stone City Fortress from behind. The most elite troops, 3,000 to 5,000 people, must be left in the fortress. Bring more than two months of food and sufficient reserves of bows and crossbows, and be prepared to hold on without fighting.
Be prepared. No matter how the enemy forces storm the fortress, they cannot rush to the rescue. At least for half a month, they must not directly fight the enemy in the south of the city." Ye Ye.
Meng Chang frowned: "Then who do you think can take on the important task of guarding the Stone City Fortress?"
Liu Yu said without hesitation: "The young generals I brought back this time all have their own strengths, but when it comes to defense, no one can compare to Meng Huaiyu. Your cousin has more than ten thousand troops."
He withstood the army of monster thieves in Jiangzhou for a year, and fought hundreds of battles. The monster thieves were frightened by the news. I believe that if he leads his troops and troops to defend Stone City, he will be able to hold it until the clouds open and see the moon.
bright!"
