Tan Daoji said thoughtfully: "In the past six months, there have been rumors like this, but they have never been confirmed. However, judging from Yu Yue's performance, he neither dares to return to Jiankang nor is he willing to join us.
It is indeed too suspicious. I think Wang Changshi’s speculation is correct.”
Zhu Chaoshi sighed: "Yu Yue has always been ambitious but not very talented. He also wanted to win titles through meritorious service and restore the glory of the Yu family, but he didn't have the ability. In addition, he offended Brother Xile before, so he could only rely on hanging out with Brother Jinu to achieve his goal.
The way to protect yourself.”
"But he was unwilling to follow Brother Jinu. He always felt that how could he, a descendant of a noble family, succumb to Qiu Ba, a warrior? So when he encountered an opportunity, he still wanted to make a contribution to redeem himself, even if it was with Xi Le
Even if I don't get along, I will look for opportunities to find ways to show friendship, cooperate, and ease the tense relationship between them."
"After the Guanggu Battle, Yu Yue ran back to China, but he tried every means to have a good relationship with Xile. This is the best proof. In fact, he went through so much trouble, and his purpose was very clear.
That is, he is not willing to be the steward of the Jingba brothers forever. He wants to be independent. This time he is willing to risk his life, even hacking Brother Xile's food and grass, and he also wants to take root in Jiangzhou, also for the sake of self-reliance."
Wang Zhenzhi nodded: "Yes, as long as he is still in Jiangzhou, then after defeating the demon thief this time, Jiangzhou will be the most responsible official, and he may even be allowed to become the governor of Jiangzhou. Why?
Wuji's old troops can be formally incorporated by him, and even you, General Zhu, may want to join him as a general."
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "It is possible, and it is also the rule of our Beifu, but I am not willing to work for him. I know Yu Gong's ability and magnanimity very well. He is not Brother Wuji, and he is not worthy of me working for him.
But if he really stays in Jiangzhou, then this is really uncertain."
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "Didn't you consider another thing? What ability, or what intelligence did Yu Yue have, could he know that the Xile Army was defeated? How could he get this batch of goods in such a short time after the defeat?
Where are the army rations and equipment? If he did these things alone, I wouldn't believe him even if he were killed."
Zhu Chaoshi's expression changed: "You mean, he has other collaborators?"
Liu Daogui said coldly: "The information I have here is incomplete, but one thing is clear. Most of the weapons and supplies of Xile were escorted by Liu Tingyun from Liyang later. After the war, Liu Tingyun also disappeared, and
The latest news from Jiankang is that Liu Tingyun is a spy of the Tiandao Alliance and even killed Meng Chang and Meng Yanda!"
At this time, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and Tan Daoji almost cried out: "What, Brother Yanda..."
Zhu Chaoshi's tears also flowed down: "Brother Yanda is the prime minister of the dynasty, and he can actually scheme against Liu Tingyun? How is this possible?"
Liu Daogui gritted his teeth: "I don't know the specific situation very well. I just listened to the news conveyed by Yu Yue. I think Yu Yue may also be frightened. I don't know that Liu Tingyun dares to do this, so I have to make it clear with her now.
We all know the relationship, Yu Yue's ability and character. It is impossible to say that he is a member of the Tiandao Alliance, or a traitor to the demon thief, but it is still very possible to cooperate with certain people because of temporary interests.
.I think it is not appropriate for us to make this matter public. We should first find a way to join forces with Yu Yue and let him leave Jiangzhou."
Tan Daoji wiped away his tears and said in a deep voice: "You just said that it is impossible for him to leave Jiangzhou. Do we want to attack him directly in the name of eliminating the rebels?"
Liu Daogui shook his head: "No, we won't attack him, but we must join forces with him, and then seize his military command and annex his troops. No matter what, the demon thief is the primary enemy. We need to first
To deal with it, no matter whether the demon thieves have an ambush or not, Yingjiu at least came to our doorstep. Even if they have an ambush, we must resolutely and completely defeat this unit to deter the demon thieves' momentum."
Zhu Chaoshi said solemnly: "This is necessary. The demon thieves failed to attack Jiankang and returned to the army to eliminate Yu Yue. We cannot let their plot succeed. Yingjiu is the vanguard. I believe they have backup plans, but no matter what
He said, "Destroy Yingjiu first, and if there is no enemy pursuit, we will then look for fighter opportunities. If an enemy ambush appears, we will abandon our supplies and baggage, quickly evacuate Jiangzhou, or even move towards Jingnan."
Liu Daogui nodded with satisfaction: "Little Shitou, can you do this?"
Zhu Chaoshi laughed and said: "Jiangzhou is my home field. I am familiar with the situation there. Even if the army of demon thieves suddenly appears, I can still evacuate. As long as I can command this battle, I will not let you down."
"
Liu Daogui said seriously: "Very good, before Yu Yue went to Jiangzhou for guerrilla warfare, he joined the army as a soldier of Xile. He could not lead more than three thousand troops. He was below me in both official rank and military position. Now I am
I am the general who conquers the west, the governor of Jingzhou, the military governor of Jing, Yong, Jiang, and Guangzhou. I am now the commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the entire western Jin Dynasty. Since Yu Yue is fighting in Jiangzhou, he is also under my control."
Wang Zhenzhi nodded: "It's true in terms of title. If you send General Zhu to lead the troops in Zhengxi to take over Yu Yue's position, and let Yu Yue's troops obey his command, it is also a legitimate thing. This edict, I
You can draft it now.”
Liu Daogui looked at Zhu Chaoshi and said in a deep voice: "I will give you five thousand elite soldiers. You can cross the river immediately and meet Yu Yue in the Yuzhang area. I will also give him an order to meet you here. You have three days.
By the time, take over Yu Yue's troops and reorganize them. Then, counting the time, Yingjiu should have arrived by about the same time. Can you annihilate this thief as you said?"
Zhu Chaoshi laughed and said, "I know how much Yingjiu has. With his three thousand men and horses, my own five thousand men are enough to wipe him out. However, I need to pay attention to whether he is a decoy force.
Are you following up with the main force of the demon thieves? Once I find that something is wrong, I will immediately abandon the food and baggage of Yu Yue's unit and quickly evacuate to the Nankang area. Brother Daogui, you don't need to join me or send troops to rescue me.
, the best policy is to defend Jiangling. I will naturally have a way to escape. At worst, I will go to Wuling to meet Tan Zhi."
Liu Daogui nodded: "Very good, that's what I want. Also, we must ensure Yu Yue's safety and not let him be silenced. There are some things that I need to ask clearly after the war."
