Tan Daoji smiled slightly and said: "But now, the Yongzhou Army is about to withdraw, and our strength has been weakened a lot. Why should we attack at this time?"
Liu Daogui said calmly: "Because we have other troops to help us, before Lu Zongzhi and I mentioned it, I received a tip-off. Yu Yue, who has been guerrilla in Jiangzhou area, finally took the initiative to get in touch with us."
At this time, even Wang Zhenzhi's expression changed and he was surprised: "Yu Yue? He actually contacted us? We sent envoys to find him several times before, but he always cut off contact with us on the grounds of guerrilla uncertainty. Why?
This time he is actually willing to come to us?"
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "Because Yu Yue got the information, the demon thieves besieged Jiankang for several months and were unable to defeat it. Now they are returning to the army in full force, and the vanguard is his old acquaintance, as a direct disciple of Lu Xun
Yingjiu has arrived in Jiangzhou."
Tan Daoji laughed and said, "It turns out to be this boy Yingjiu. Hehe, during the last battle of Jiangling, this boy didn't come by himself, but he brought his ship over. I thought that his dog's head was taken during the battle of Jiangling.
"
Liu Daogui shook his head: "Yingjiu is Lu Xun's personal disciple. He is also a rare thief who is not only fierce but also knowledgeable in the art of war. Chao Shi, you have been among the thieves for a while, so you should know something about this thief.
Bar."
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "I did have some contact with him, and I would also discuss some military tactics on weekdays. This thief's fighting style is fierce and unrestrained, very similar to Xu Daofu. He is good at using light troops to attack. However, compared with Xu Daofu, he still has
There is a lot of difference, mainly because this thief does not pay too much attention to intelligence and reconnaissance. If the battlefield is laid out and he is allowed to ambush and execute, it will be very good. But if he is allowed to take charge alone and lead the troops to open the way forward, it may be because
His impulsive and irritable character and his lack of scouts led him to suffer losses. I'm a little surprised why Yingjiu was allowed to serve as the vanguard."
Tan Daoji smiled and said: "This shows that the demon thief was really defeated in Jiankang. Now he is panicking and wants to escape quickly, so he sent this person who can charge and fight as the vanguard to attack us. Brother Daogui, Jiankang
Is there any more news about the fighting situation on the side?"
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "I don't know the specific information. I just heard that my eldest brother rushed back to Jiankang at the most critical moment and took command. However, after the demon thief heard that his eldest brother returned to Beijing, he did not dare to act rashly, so he lost his mind.
Seizing the opportunity, the troops conquering Yan returned by sea. They arrived in Wu in batches by sea-going ship, and then returned to Jiankang. Therefore, the longer the delay, the more beneficial it would be to the Jin Dynasty. After the monster thieves understood the situation, they began to
We forcibly attacked the city by land and water, but we have lost our fighter planes."
At this point, Liu Daogui's lips curled up slightly: "There is also good news, that is, Brother Xile also escaped safely. I heard that he walked through the Dabie Mountains and passed through the strongholds of the Di tribes and bandits.
After going through a lot of hardships, he returned to the capital. It turned out that he had already ambushed his underground legion in the capital. They usually looked like ordinary people, and there were people from all walks of life. But when he went back and activated them,
A legion of more than ten thousand people sounds like a fantasy, even the three thousand dead soldiers of King Sima Xuan were nothing more than that."
The three of them all opened their mouths and were speechless for a long time. After a long time, Tan Daoji finally sighed: "God's will, it is really God's will. God still favors our country. At the most critical time, the two generals returned to the capital to take charge. As long as
They unite sincerely and join forces to fight against the enemy. Who is the enemy in the world? In other words, the monster thieves were unable to attack the city and suffered heavy losses, so they had to flee in a hurry, right?"
Liu Daogui shook his head: "After all, the troops in Jiankang City are insufficient. It is not easy to hold on. They are unable to cause too much damage. Besides, the demon thieves are not accustomed to the climate. Diseases are rampant. I heard that the number of troops lost is only about 30,000.
It won’t break their muscles and bones, but if they can’t attack the city, they have no choice but to turn around and come back, either to capture Jingzhou or to open a passage back to Guangzhou. Yingjiu should be doing the first task of opening up the retreat passage.”
Zhu Chaoshi frowned: "I understand, this must be because Xu Daofu wants to personally cut off the rear and resist the pursuit of Brother Jinu and Brother Xile, unable to escape. On the other hand, although Yingjiu is reckless, he can take advantage of it.
With his aggressive personality, he first tested whether there was a strong enemy or an ambush ahead."
Tan Daoji nodded: "I agree with Xiao Shitou. Yingjiu should be here to explore the way. Furthermore, they may not take Yu Yue seriously, thinking that Yingjiu's arrival will scare Yu Yue into running away. However,
Yu Yue has been doing well in Jiangzhou in the past few months, and I heard that he has messed up the demon bandit's grain road military depot. When did this young man become capable?"
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "If he was really capable, he wouldn't be so confident in dealing with a Yingjiu that he would ask us for help. Before, he only fought against the remaining troops of the demon thieves, and many of them were even newly attached bandits.
The grass bandits and those treacherous gangsters took advantage of the chaos to join in and wanted to rob. However, the Yingjiu troops were the elite of the monster bandits. Some were old thieves from Sanwu, and the others were rebellious barbarians from Guangzhou. They were very fierce in combat.
, so Yu Yue asked us to send troops to assist him."
Wang Zhenzhi frowned slightly: "But now that we don't have enough troops, how can we go to meet Yu Yue? In my opinion, it is better for Yu Yue to retreat to Jiangling and meet us, or we send a group of troops to cross the river and go south.
We can attack Changsha and let Yu Yue come to Changsha to join us."
Liu Daogui shook his head: "Yu Yue has robbed a lot of food, grass and ordnance in the Jiangzhou area in the past few months, and has grown his team to six or seven thousand men. At this time, I am afraid that he should give up the foundation of Jiangzhou and abandon the food, grass and ordnance.
He refused to do it. He asked us for help, not for us to protect and accept him."
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "Yes, if we leave Jiangzhou, all the previous battles will be wasted. Staying in Jiangzhou and fighting alone will allow him to get a high evaluation after the war. So what should we do now? We need to send troops."
Do you want to help him defeat Yingjiu? How many soldiers and horses does Yingjiu have at his command, and what is their strength?"
Liu Daogui said calmly: "Judging from what Yu Yue said, Yingjiu's headquarters should have about three thousand people, but the fighting power of these three thousand people is very fierce, and Yingjiu is very confident. Wherever he goes, there is almost nothing."
They set up camps and did not take away the defenders along the way. It seems that they just want to use these 3,000 men and horses to advance alone and open the passage to Changsha."
Tan Daoji's eyes flashed coldly: "Then you can't give up this piece of fat that has been delivered to your door. Brother Daogui, give me three thousand men and horses, and I will teach this kid that he will never come back!"
