Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, if he knows what's going on and is willing to cooperate with us in promoting this idea and changing the minds of the people in the world, I will give him this opportunity. Of course, it is impossible to rule in Jingzhou, and I can't take any more chances."
There is a risk of separatism and mutual antagonism in Jingyang.”
Liu Jingxuan smiled and said: "There are Dao rules in Jingzhou. You don't have to consider anyone to take over. Your brother has a great ability. He is the Dinghai magic needle of our Jin Dynasty. I used to think that Dao rules can only fight wars and govern the state."
Politics is not his strong point. It turned out that I was wrong. His ability to govern was even better than most of the children of aristocratic families. When the chaos happened, other places collapsed one after another. On the contrary, in the Jingzhou area, which the imperial court had always refused to deal with, everyone was
I am willing to fight to the death for the Dao rules, and I have survived until now."
Liu Yu sighed softly: "The soldiers and people of Jingzhou are not naturally rebellious. It's just that the governors of Jingzhou have always been ambitious and wanted to use this place to fight against the central government and the imperial court. That's why the Jin Dynasty was founded a hundred years ago.
Yang continued the civil war. The more wars he fought, the deeper the hatred accumulated. When I sent Daogui to take over Jingzhou, I didn't expect him to do such a good job. However, in the future, we will go north to the Central Plains, or take back the
Bashu and Guangzhou, I also intend to let Daogui guard these places for a few years."
Liu Jingxuan's face changed slightly: "You want to change people in Jingzhou? You can't. Guangzhou and Bashu are just remote counties and counties, with a large area and few people, and they are far away from Jiankang. Even if there is a rebellion, they can't start it.
There will be a big wave, and Jingzhou is the center of the world, with a large population and dangerous terrain. Once the people guarding it are unreliable, it will lead to great chaos."
Liu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly: "I haven't fully thought about this yet, but if you are asked to guard Jingzhou, can you do it well?"
Liu Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, then murmured: "If I go to Jingzhou, there is no problem, but the problem is what to do with Qingzhou. Didn't you originally want to appease Qingzhou for a few years and then send troops to the Northern Expedition? I have been going to the Northern Expedition in the past few months.
We trained 20,000 horses in Qingzhou, and now we have brought back 8,000."
Liu Yu sighed: "The country has experienced such wars. The Northern Expedition in the short term is no longer realistic. We need time to recuperate and restore our national strength. It will take at least three years before we can talk about the Northern Expedition. Qingzhou has just destroyed the Yan territory.
At that time, a general was needed to guard, and you had to do it, but now the situation in Qingzhou has stabilized, especially after killing Han Fan and establishing authority over all the local wealthy families, no one should dare to rebel easily again, so Qingzhou only needs to maintain
That’s it, there is no need to build up a large number of troops. It would be a pity for a general like you to be placed in Qingzhou.”
Liu Jingxuan laughed: "Then I have nothing to do when I go to Jingzhou. The Taoist regulations are already very good. I can't be better than him."
Liu Yu said calmly: "If I transfer the Taoist regulations to another place, the position of Jingzhou governor will arouse the desire of many people. Now my request for Jingzhou is that there must be no chaos. In this counter-insurgency operation, Jingzhou
My loyalty has been tested, but whether it is loyalty to Jin Dynasty or loyalty to Taoism, I don’t know now, so I need to send another person I absolutely trust to Jingzhou to see what happens next.”
Liu Jingxuan understood now and frowned: "Why, is Xile still thinking about Jingzhou?"
Liu Yu's expression became solemn and he nodded: "You guessed it right. Originally, Xile's entire army was wiped out this time and Yuzhou was lost with it. He was lucky not to be punished. But during the Jiankang defense battle, he
He also performed meritorious service, and after annihilating Doupeng, he still wanted to join me in the Western Expedition to become the leader of the Demon Slayer Thieves."
Liu Jingxuan was so angry that he yelled: "This guy is too thick-skinned. Wei Shunzhi escaped from the battle and beheaded him in public. His fault was even greater than that of Wei Shunzhi. It was a serious crime of losing troops and losing territory. If he didn't behead him, he would have burned high incense. Actually,
You are still thinking about meritorious service and promotion, Jinu, you are just too spoiled to him."
Liu Yu sighed: "It's not that I want to spoil Xile. In fact, this defense battle gave me a new understanding of Xile's strength. Just in Jiankang, he came back alone, and he will be able to do it within a day or two."
Raising an army of more than 10,000 people, Ah Shou, you are in Qingzhou and have the power of the imperial court to control conscription. It has been more than half a year and only less than 20,000 new troops have been recruited. In this regard, can you compare with Xi Le?
Compare?"
Liu Jingxuan rolled his eyes unconvinced: "That's the underground legion he left behind a long time ago. He just placed the veterans and generals who were loyal to him in the capital. I am a new recruit, how can it be the same?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Then last time your father was killed in an accident, how many troops could you pull up? When you went to Nanyan, how many of your old troops were there in the villages that finally returned to Huaibei?"
Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth: "When I returned from Nanyan and led my troops to defect, there were more than 3,000 troops. At that time, you asked me to form an army of my own. Send slaves, I, A Shou, have some wealth at least.
It’s not without any strength.”
Liu Yu nodded: "Those cottages in Huaibei, Wubao, have been in operation for decades since the time of your father, Commander-in-Chief. Moreover, they have the title and establishment of the imperial court. Although they are cottages, they are also the officers and soldiers of the Jin Dynasty.
With your status, you will also be allocated some weapons and food, which is equivalent to half of the Jin army. Even so, you can only bring out more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, and Xile, directly from the common people of Jiankang, overnight
We can pull out an army of nearly 20,000 people. Without this strength, our defense in the south of the city was very difficult. Whether we can hold it is a question mark."
Liu Jingxuan said angrily: "I don't have that intention. This kind of private gathering of soldiers and underground legions, if it is not a rebellion, who would want to do it? When I said that you are spoiling Xi Le, I mean this. It can be used as an excuse.
How can we give him a promotion if we take this opportunity away from him?"
Liu Yu frowned: "Then when we first established Yi, didn't we also form a private army? In Jingkou, everyone is a soldier, and they can pull out the team at any time. If we suppress it like this, will there still be Beifu Army?
Besides, Xile only raised a legion in Jiankang City this time. In Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Wudi, how many underground legions did he leave behind like this? How do I know? If Xile is moved, these places will be triggered.
If they rebel, it will be a big trouble. In addition to Xi Le, other generals such as Changmin and others also have private armies outside the establishment. This can affect the whole body. "
Liu Jingxuan sighed: "So, you are going to give Jingzhou or Yuzhou to Xile and let him take everyone there. Then Jiankang will be at peace, right?"
