Xu Daofu was so angry that he stamped his feet and said bitterly: "Second brother, you are wasting the opportunity to fight. How can you put the hope of destroying the city on these high-ranking Tiandao Alliance and noble families who have nothing to do with us? Even so.
If we use them to kill Liu Yu, we will have to make too many compromises and concessions to them after we break the city. In the end, the world will be returned to their hands. We had such a deep hatred with them in the past. Once we let them
If they regain power, it will put the butcher's knife into their hands, allowing them to kill us!"
Lu Xun said coldly: "Why are you panicking? I told you a long time ago in Yuzhang that we will not disband the army. As long as the army is in our hands and the knife is in our hands, we will not let them slaughter us."
, just like Liu Yu now, he has soldiers. Even if Wang Yu's family is slaughtered, what will happen? When we raised troops in Wudi, although we killed them happily, a large number of manors were empty.
No one came to govern us, and we couldn't manage the farming. In the end, we had no choice but to kill and rob each other. When we ran out of food and grass, we tricked the women and asked them to throw their babies into the water, saying that they would reach heaven early. This is not a good idea.
Isn’t it just for those who don’t have anything to eat?”
Xu Daofu gritted his teeth: "But when we were in Guangzhou, we could collect grain and obtain taxes, and we didn't need the help of any aristocratic families."
Lu Xun sneered and said: "When you were in Guangzhou, how could you collect taxes and pay taxes in Shixing? If you had this ability, would I even send two disciples to help you? Wake up, my
Junior Brother Xu, you have always only focused on killing but not governing, focusing on the military but not on government affairs. In fact, even in Lingnan and Guangzhou, I have to rely on the local barbarian tribe chiefs to manage these tribes. It is these chiefs who pay taxes to me.
."
"Just like the more than 20,000 Lingnan barbarians we bring now are provided to us by various tribes, I can't go to each tribe to forcefully recruit people. No matter when, our divine religion has never truly controlled Wu.
Every household in the land controls every village and every cave in Lingnan. If it weren’t for these Han and Yi landowners and tribal leaders to cooperate with us, collect taxes and collect young men for us, then we would be here.
Guangzhou is also difficult to move forward."
Xu Daofu said angrily: "If you don't cooperate, you will be killed. What's wrong? If we hadn't burned the city of Guangzhou and piled tens of thousands of dead people into the capital, how could these barbarian chiefs be so obedient?"
Lu Xun said coldly: "Killing is just a means, and visiting the capital is only a deterrent, not the goal. We massacred the city of Guangzhou once, and it has not recovered for several years. Guangzhou has not provided tax revenue in the past three years, and in turn, we are asked to
Relocating people from other places, letting the barbarians come out of the mountains to settle down, and rebuilding Guangzhou in this way, and then our own disciples and family members stayed in the newly built Guangzhou city. Just like this, it will take several years.
This has allowed the city of Guangzhou to recover a little bit of its vitality. It is still far from its previous heyday."
"Let's talk about the land of Sanwu. After we raised our troops, we swept through eight counties. We only focused on fighting and killing, not on production and recovery. We left everything devastated. In the end, even our own military supply became a big problem. The reason why Sun En finally decided to attack Jian with all his strength.
Kang, it was also because we ourselves could not gain a foothold in Wu, so we thought of attacking Jiankang in one fell swoop, destroying the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and taking over the world by ourselves. However, after destroying the Jin Dynasty, we still need to cooperate with the high-ranking families and let them manage it on their behalf.
That's why I treated Xie Daoyun with courtesy. It was like this back then, and it goes without saying now. You only think about fighting, but I have to think about what happens after the war."
Xu Daofu said in a deep voice: "I don't object to you thinking about things after the war, but now I only think about how to defeat Liu Yu. For others, delaying and slowing down is not a big problem. Even for Liu Yi, I
We can also drag him on for a year and then find an opportunity to defeat him in one fell swoop. But we all know Liu Yu's fighting skills. Now is his weakest time. If we don't hurry up and let his army of conquering Yan come back, then
It’s too late to regret it.”
Lu Xun was already a little impatient and spoke faster: "We are now outside Jiankang City and have cut off the Yangtze River. It is impossible for his troops in the north of the Yangtze River to come back. If you are really determined, why not conquer it first?"
Guangling City has completely blocked all ferries coming back from the north of the Yangtze River. As for the situation in the city, I will wait and see what happens. It will only take three or two days, five days at most. Don't you think you can defeat Liu Yu even in these five days?
"
Xu Daofu gritted his teeth: "Let me say it again, for others, I can wait for five months or a year, but for Liu Yu, I don't want to miss it even if I blink five times, even if there is no Zhengyan's legion
Returning, Liu Yu also has a way to use every moment to increase his power. What you think is that the noble family and the Tiandao Alliance will take the opportunity to oppose him or even assassinate him, but what I think is that when he comes back this time, he can make the family
The high sect works for him. Let's wait for five days. Maybe he will be able to kill all the servants of the aristocratic families in the city, as well as the secret guard killers who usually look like ordinary people, but are actually their loyal servants for many generations.
.After five days, maybe Liu Yu will be able to have 20,000 to 30,000 more men. Then it will be difficult for us to defeat him!"
At this point, Xu Daofu raised his hands and saluted: "Second brother, don't hesitate any more. If you are worried that I will take the opportunity to consume your subordinates, then please let me lead the battle with my own troops this time. Even if you die, I will die."
Disciple, I don’t even need immortality pills, I just rely on strong attacks, that’s okay.”
Lu Xun said coldly: "Junior Brother Xu, you just said that we should not divide yours and mine, they are all from the divine sect. Why are you talking about your disciples now?"
Xu Daofu was so choked by these words that he froze on the spot and had no words to refute.
A cold light flashed in Lu Xun's eyes: "I made it very clear just now. I have made a decision. Now we have 200,000 troops and horses, and the 30,000 to 40,000 people in the front can't come over. A large number of troops are still behind. If
If you fail to attack the city and weaken my spirit, then when the troops behind come, they may have second thoughts, or at least they will not attack with all their strength. They are thieves and surrender. Even if we want to attack the city, we will not be able to attack the city with all our strength.
You must first consume these people, at least have them attack in multiple directions at the same time to disperse Liu Yu's forces. The battle is yours to command, but when to fight and how many troops to fight, this is my final say. If you still have
In my opinion, how about letting you be the leader of the church, and you have the final say in everything?"
Xu Daofu let out a long sigh and could only kneel down again: "I will obey all the instructions of my second brother."
Lu Xun didn't even look at him, turned around and walked towards the commander's platform. His voice followed the river wind: "Send the order, the Soochow will turn around and head north to Liyang."
