Jingzhou, the capital, Jiangling, the governor's office.
Liu Daogui, wearing a general's robe and armor, was sitting on the bed behind the governor's case. Two rows of civil and military officials were lined up in the hall. Lu Zongzhi, who was first on the left, and Tan Daoji, who was first on the right, were wearing the same clothes.
The uniforms of Beifu and Yongzhou legions are of different regulations, and the generals around them are also dressed in the same style. They seem to be distinct, but they all exude a heroic spirit, and they are even fighting openly and secretly to compete.
Woolen cloth.
What Liu Daogui wore was the local armor of Jingzhou, and the colors were completely different between the Yongzhou and Beifu armies. In this case, a delicate balance was formed. His eyes fell on a Tang newspaper in front of him.
His expression was calm and there was nothing unusual about him.
Beside Lu Zongzhi, the tall and majestic Lu Gui couldn't hold back anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Zhengxi (Liu Daogui's current military position is General Zhengxi, which is higher than his official position of Jingzhou governor, and this is a military meeting, generally called the army).
(post), in the direction of Jiankang, is there any battle situation or news?"
Liu Daogui raised his head and shook his head: "There is still no news. Ever since Liu Xile's Yuzhou Corps was defeated in Sangluo Prefecture, all our connections with Jiankang and Yuzhou have been cut off."
Lu Gui said with some dissatisfaction: "After the Battle of Jiangling, we should have marched eastward with the entire army and attacked the monster thieves with Liu Xile's Yuzhou Army. In that case, maybe the Yuzhou Army would not have been completely wiped out."
Next to Tan Daoji, Fu Hongzhi's voice sounded coldly: "Brother Elephant Tooth, please don't say this again. Liu Xile himself didn't even say hello to us, so he marched westward with his entire army. We had just fought a fierce battle.
The loss of troops is not small, and we have to reorganize the prisoners and clean the battlefield, so how can we have the energy to accompany him in another decisive battle?"
Lu Gui gritted his teeth: "Having said that, after the victory, even if we don't have a decisive battle with the monster thieves, we can always attack the monster thieves logistics stations in Changsha, Yueyang, and Baling and cut off their supply routes.
Made it happen.”
Zhu Chaoshi sighed softly: "Brother Elephant Tooth, the main force of the demon thieves marched directly to the east. The whole army marched eastward without worrying about the rear. After they defeated Xile's Yuzhou Army, they took over its army.
Supplies, and then quickly attacked Jiangzhou and swept across Yuzhou. Along the way, various forces turned to the demon thieves one after another. Even the Di tribe in the Dabie Mountains in western Henan also took refuge with them. This is why our connection with Jiankang is complete.
The reason for the interruption is that in the entire east, the only ones we know are still fighting are Yu Yue's troops, who are still fighting guerrillas in Jiangzhou. Under such circumstances, if we act rashly, we are afraid that we will follow Liu Xile's footsteps and encounter
What about the ambush of demon thieves?"
Lu Zongzhi looked at Liu Daogui: "Zhengxi, although I am young and impulsive, what I said is not unreasonable. Now I regret that I didn't send troops in the last decisive battle. It is meaningless. For nearly three months, we didn't know how to build an army."
What's the situation in the battle in the direction of Kang? How long can we keep guarding Jiangling like this?"
A cold light flashed in Liu Daogui's eyes: "We don't need to be too anxious. In my opinion, if Jiankang was in danger, it would have been lost long ago. And whenever the demon thief gains an advantage on the battlefield, he will definitely show us the soldiers who died in the battle."
, especially the heads of senior generals, to shake our military morale."
Tan Daoji nodded: "Yes, when Brother Wuji died in the battle, his head was taken to the river outside Jiangling City to intimidate us. But the Yuzhou Army was defeated so miserably, and they only took out more than 20 people including Zhou Anmu and others.
The heads of a mid-level general, Liu Xile and several lieutenants are not among them, which also proves that they should have escaped."
Lu Zongzhi frowned: "But the entire Yuzhou army was wiped out, which is a proven result. Liu Xile did not pack up the remaining troops and retreat, but his whereabouts are unknown. Even if he escaped, he was just a polished general. A general in Yuzhou
If it is lost, Jiankang will no longer have a barrier, and Marshal Liu told us last time that a disease broke out in the Yan army and it will be difficult to come back for a while. How can they defend Jiankang in this case? "
Liu Daogui said calmly and calmly: "I'm not worried about this. Marshal Liu, my eldest brother, is a man who can create miracles countless times and is also the pillar of the Jin Dynasty. If Jiankang is breached, the demon thieves will definitely be there long ago."
They would take prisoners or dead officials of the court, or even the heads of royal family members to come here to show off their power. There is no news yet, which can only mean that the attack of the demon thieves is not going smoothly, or even under the fortification of the city.
, the longer it takes, the better it is for us."
Lu Zongzhi gritted his teeth: "It is indeed beneficial for you to conquer the west, but it may not be good for our Yongzhou soldiers and horses. It is not me who urges us to send troops to conquer the west. It is because we in Yongzhou have our own special circumstances. After all, it is far away from Xiangyang.
, is thousands of miles away from the counties of Nanyang. This time we went on an expedition and took away the main force of the Yongzhou Army. Now Xiangyang is empty. What’s more terrible is that the autumn harvest time is almost over. If we don’t go back, I’m afraid there will be no food in the fields this year.
There is no way to put away the food."
Tan Daoji's expression changed: "Lao Lu, we must not divide our troops at this time. Women and children can do the harvesting of wheat. Why do we need these fifteen thousand elite soldiers to go back?"
Lu Zongzhi frowned: "It's different this time. We have become enemies with Later Qin. Although there is no open war now, the soldiers and horses of Later Qin in Luoyang have appeared many times on the border between Qin and Jin. Yesterday I
After receiving the news, it was said that more than 30,000 troops of Hou Qin's infantry and cavalry had gathered south of Luoyang and were preparing to attack Yongzhou. At this time, all the grain was in the fields and had not yet been harvested. If they were to cut wheat and harvest grain, they would encounter the Qin army.
If we invade, we will be depleted of men and food, and even several big cities may be captured."
Having said this, Lu Zongzhi paused: "Since Zhengxi has judged that the current situation has passed the most dangerous period and Jiankang is also under our control, it doesn't make much sense for us to stay here. Please ask Zhengxi to help
I will definitely come back in twenty days after my soldiers and horses have escorted the people to harvest grain and grass and rotated some of my soldiers and horses."
Zhu Chaoshi frowned: "Old Lu, at this time, it doesn't matter if the grain harvest is reduced for a year. There is grain in the official warehouse, but it is really not possible. The grain and grass here in Jingzhou can also support you. But if we divide our troops and there is a sudden war situation here in Jingzhou,
Or if there is a military report from the front, asking us to go to Beijing to serve the king, then we will be indispensable with your elite regiment."
Lu Zongzhi's face looked a little ugly: "Could it be that the famous generals and elite soldiers of Jingzhou's Beifu are inseparable from my more than ten thousand Yongzhou legions? The grain and grass in Jingzhou have been harvested, but my wheat in Yongzhou rotted in the ground.
Does this make sense?"
