Jiankang City and the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion.

Since Liu Yu returned to Beijing, this mansion that he had almost never used has become the headquarters of the Jin army. After Xiao Wenshou and other female relatives were relocated to the palace in accordance with the wartime unified decree, the entire mansion became

It became Liu Yu's residence as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, and all the staff and assistants stayed here. They were dealing with various military intelligence reports every moment of the day. In the reception hall in the middle, there was a huge sand table map.

There are various red and blue wooden models marking the enemy and our armies, including ships, soldiers and horses, which are clearly visible at a glance.

Liu Yu is now standing in front of the sand table. His expression is calm, but he is no longer as nervous as when he first returned to the city. More than ten senior generals are also surrounding him, and everyone has a look on their face.

Smile, yes, as on the sand table, nearly a thousand warships, represented by more than ten ship models, densely parked on the river outside Jiankang City, have left the river northwest of the city, and the ones entrenched on the river

In the north of the Yangtze River, the Tianshi Dao army, which had been camped for hundreds of miles, also evacuated. It can be said that the Jiankang defense battle was finally won!

Sun Chu's voice revealed an excitement and a feeling of relief: "Brother Jinu, the news has been confirmed. The army of demon thieves had all evacuated last night. In the camp at Pukou in Jiangbei, now

There is no one, and there is no ambush. There are still about 40,000 demon thieves’ rearguard troops staying in Liyang, but the fleet has already left and sailed towards the middle and lower reaches.”

Liu Yu nodded, still staring at the largest ship in the model: "Where is the Soochow now?"

Yu Qiujin quickly said: "The Soochow is still on the river south of Liyang, and six giant ships are also here at the same time. One hundred and fifty Huanglong warships serve as the guards of these giant ships, and the small boats of the demon thieves

, carrying the sergeants and baggage, evacuated before them. It seems that Lu Xun was personally cutting off the rear."

Liu Yu frowned slightly: "Is it Lu Xun or Xu Daofu who is cut off?"

Zhu Lingshi said calmly: "The Dongwu was flying under the banner of Lu Xun, but at noon the day before yesterday, a fleet consisting of more than 200 medium-sized ships, including more than 30 large ships,

, but it is heading east. This fleet does not have any flags, but there is no one on the deck. It seems to be going to sea. I think maybe this fleet seems to belong to Xu Daofu."

Shen Tianzi laughed: "Big Shitou, do you want to say that Xu Daofu and Lu Xun fell out again, ran away in anger, and simply took the sea ship to go to sea and find another place?"

Zhu Lingshi shook his head and looked at Shen Linzi: "Linzi, when you brought troops to assist Jingkou the day before yesterday, we discussed this issue. You can tell us what you thought at the time."

Shen Linzi smiled slightly, looked at the five eastward-going models on the river surface, representing the navy, and said: "At first, we all thought that this fleet was going east and landing at Jingkou Suanshan Mountain, so

I followed Brother Jinu's command and led troops to help Jingkou. However, after arriving, I found that this fleet had no intention of landing and fighting, and its speed was not very fast. Although there was a headwind, as a sea-going ship

, walking in the river is not as fast as our land vehicles and horses, which means that these large ships are not only full of sergeants, but also carry a lot of baggage and food."

Liu Yu nodded: "That's a good analysis, let's continue."

Shen Linzi continued: "The sea fleet does not display flags, and there are no soldiers on the deck. These are just deceptive and deceptive behaviors. In order to intercept our fleet heading south from Qingzhou, the demon thieves sent several waves in succession. In total, there were three or four waves. A fleet of hundreds of warships went to sea, all full of sergeants, and this fleet was sent out this time. The total should be thirty to forty thousand soldiers and horses. This force, whether it goes north to Yuzhou or lands in Jiangbei Liu County, or go south to Kuaiji, and cause trouble to the Three Wus, they should not be underestimated. If they do not raise banners, they may be trying to cover up their true intention, which is to use Xu Daofu to direct the subsequent landing operations."

The generals nodded repeatedly when they heard this, and said to Mi in a deep voice: "I agree with Lin Zi's view. The demon thieves saw that Brother Jinu is here, Brother Xile is also here, and we, the elite soldiers of the Beifu Army, They have gathered here. In the past two months, they have also proved that they cannot capture Jiankang, but they are unwilling to retreat, so they want to change the target of the attack, avoid the reality and attack the weak areas of our troops. Now they have the water. The advantage of the division is that we can land everywhere after going to sea. It is difficult for us to guard against it, especially in Kuaiji and Yuzhou. One is the rear area of ​​the six counties in Jiangbei, and the other is the center of Wudi. However, they are both close to the sea and are vulnerable to attacks from the sea. As for the attack, Brother Jinu, I suggest that we divide our troops and send generals to these two places to strengthen the defense."

Wang Zhene's voice sounded calmly: "I don't agree with Brother Tieniu. The demon thief must be using a tactic of suspicion. There is no way he can divide his troops to look after others at this time."

Everyone's eyes turned to Wang Zhene, and he said calmly: "If the demon thief really wants to divide his forces to attack Kuaiji and seize Wu, or capture Yuzhou and cut off Qingzhou to the six counties in Jiangbei, The contact will not be at this time, but at the beginning of the siege. Now their army is withdrawing from Jiankang, which means giving up the capture of Jiangdong and turning back to seize Jingzhou and capture half of the country in the west in order to move forward. .At this time, at most we will send out suspicious troops instead of using the main force to divide the troops."

Shen Tianzi said unconvinced: "The demon thieves have a strong army. Even if they divide tens of thousands of people and hundreds of ships, they still won't lose their main force. Why can't they divide their troops?"

Wang Zhen'e smiled slightly: "Because the demon thieves seem to have many soldiers, but the core force is still only the tens of thousands of people who raised troops from Guangzhou. The other new auxiliary troops are either captives of our soldiers or local powerful forces. Xiang, the hearts of these people are not very stable. They come to surrender when they are strong, but leave when they are weak. Now the monster thieves have been unable to attack Jiankang for several months, and they have lost their troops and generals. There are hundreds of soldiers fleeing in the camp every day. In this situation Now, if we divide our troops elsewhere, I'm afraid we'll be even more uncontrollable, and the troops and horses that have been divided will be completely dispersed before they reach the halfway point."

Meng Huaiyu laughed: "That just fits Lin Zi's analysis. The troops that were sent out were not the mob, but the elites led by Xu Daofu himself. This is okay. Someone else might not be able to lead the troops, but if it was Xu Daofu With his elite main force, tens of thousands of people can still be used, and the other large forces are led by Lu Xun, so they will not be disintegrated along the way."

Wang Zhen'e shook his head: "No, if Xu Daofu wants to fight at this time, he must fight in Jingzhou, not go to sea!"
