Tan Zhi said thoughtfully: "So, you were not absolutely sure at that time. If Nalu Zongzhi really had a counter-intention, wouldn't you be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?"
Liu Daogui shook his head: "I know Lu Zongzhi very well. He is not the kind of desperado who is willing to risk everything and leave no escape route. When he was in Guanzhong, he was bullied a lot, but he has been bullied for many years.
However, the Huan family decided to leave Guanzhong and defect to Jingzhou. It was not until the former Qin Dynasty was defeated in the Battle of Feishui that he followed the Qin army and became a prisoner.
The guarding general. However, I think when Huan Xuan ransomed him, he might not have expected that he would have such a great influence later on."
Tan Zhi smiled and said: "So it is said that if you move a tree to death, a person will live if you move him. Once Lu Zongzhi makes up his mind to go out of his comfortable place and go to a new field to work hard and make a breakthrough, he can become a great warlord. So,
With such a precedent, how can you dare to bet that he won't dare to try it again?"
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "I have analyzed the reason before. At heart, he is a person who wants comfort and foundation. He will not easily risk all his wealth to fight for a bigger one. Being the governor of Yongzhou, he is already very satisfied, even if
In the future, we will reduce the vassal state and ask him to hand over Yongzhou and exchange it for a high-ranking official in the court. I think he will accept it and will not start a rebellion just to protect the governor of Yongzhou."
Tan Zhi curled his lips: "So, you saw through Lu Zongzhi's character and concluded that he did not dare to take the risk of raising an army, so you dared to enter his camp alone?"
Liu Daogui sighed: "I was actually betting at the time, because Lu Zongzhi came with his troops, which was something I didn't expect. Now I have figured it out. He came with his troops because he wanted to wait and see, and he did not rule out taking advantage of the opportunity.
The possibility of seizing Gangneung.”
Tan Zhi took a breath of air: "He really dares to do this? That's not what you just analyzed."
Liu Daogui nodded: "Please pay attention to my premise just now. He is a man who is content with being a little rich and separatist a state. He will not take risks on his own initiative. Therefore, if he is in Jin Dynasty, when I still occupy Jiangling
, if you take the initiative to attack me, it means complete betrayal of Jin Dynasty, and there is no way out."
Tan Zhi frowned: "What do you mean, he wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? Just like the last time we conquered Huanxuan in the west, Lu Zongzhi also guarded Yongzhou, but did not send a single soldier to fight against Huanxuan.
After meeting with Xuan Xuan and seeing that Huan Xuan was destroyed, did you immediately accept our invitation?"
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "It seems that the situations of these two times are similar, but the actual details are very different. The biggest difference is that our last Western Expedition was to destroy Huan Chu and then occupy Jingzhou and Yongzhou for a long time.
It must be taken back. He is not in a position to sit back and watch the fight between tigers. If Huan Xuan wins, he will continue to listen to the instructions but not the propaganda, or send some symbolic troops to help, because everyone with a discerning eye knows that Huan Xuan is here
After Jiankang sent away all his main forces, it was no longer possible to rely on Jingzhou to defend the family business. Even if he defeated Brother Xile once, he would not be able to stop the continuous attacks from behind, unless the Hulu took the opportunity to go south and forced us to retreat and return to the division.
.”
Tan Zhi nodded: "That's true, but if I were Lu Zongzhi, I would have marched westward earlier and surrendered. Maybe the position of Jingzhou governor would have been given to him."
Liu Daogui shook his head: "It is absolutely impossible. We would not have just destroyed Huan Xuan at that time, and then appointed an outsider, or even an enemy not long ago, to take control of Jingzhou. Jingzhou must be firmly controlled by the Beifu Army.
That's right. As the gateway to Jingzhou, Yongzhou can resist Qin's southern advance from the north. It can be temporarily handed over to Lu Zong for governance. This is almost the bottom line. There is no difference between Lu Zong's submission earlier and his submission later. Because, we have
We are not familiar with the situation in Yongzhou. If we insist on annihilating Lu Zongzhi and he resists desperately, then even if we capture Yongzhou in the end, we will suffer heavy losses and it will be difficult to control it after the war."
Tan Zhi nodded: "Then this time, he led his troops directly to Jiangling. Does he want to surrender to the demon thief? If he sees that we fail, for example, we cannot defeat Huan Qian, will he join Huan Qian's side to seize the throne?
Where is Gangneung?”
Liu Daogui sighed: "It is true that he did not stop the armies of Huan Qian and Gou Lin and allowed them to go south to attack Jiangling, but this does not mean that he formed an alliance with Huan Qian. In fact, he saw clearly that Jingzhou has become more important to us in recent years.
Under his rule, people felt at ease and were on the side of the court. Huan Qian returned to Jingzhou this time. Except for recruiting some bandits and bandits along the way and Gou Lin's original Longyou tribe troops, there were almost no gentry in Jingzhou.
People responded to Huan Qian. Although many people corresponded with Huan Qian through letters and even informed him of some information about Jingzhou, they did not really send out their troops, soldiers, and supplies to give Huan Qian substantial help.
It's a huge difference from when Huan Zhen stood on his own and counterattacked Jiangling, when hundreds of powerful landowners in Jingzhou responded directly to him."
Tan Zhi laughed loudly and said: "That's because your Daogui brother has managed the business here for many years, letting the Jingzhou nobles know that following the Jin Dynasty and the Beifu Army is the right way. The rule of the Huan family will never return.
La. So, Lu Zongzhi let Huan Qian and Gou Lin go and let them go south to capture Jiangling. Actually, he wanted to see who of the two sides would win? Did he think that with the help of the monsters and thieves, they would have the possibility of capturing Jiangling?
"
Liu Daogui nodded: "Yes, in fact, he was not only betting on whether the demon thief would help Huan Qian and Gou Lin, but also wanted to see if the two forces would fight on their own first. The situation at that time was very delicate, and the demon thief
The thieves also led the troops directly to Jiangling under the leadership of Lu Xun. If the two sides can unite and attack Jiangling together, then Jiangling City will be in danger. He led the troops here, so he has made multiple preparations."
Tan Zhi then asked: "What preparations has he made? If the demon thief breaks Jiangling, will he continue to attack the demon thief?"
Liu Daogui shook his head: "Actually, there is a ready-made example. During our Northern Expedition, Liu Laozhi led troops to form an alliance with Fu Pi to rescue Yecheng and attack Murong Chui. At that time, we wanted to take over the entire Hebei Province, and Yecheng
After being besieged by Murong Chui for several years, we were extremely short of food, so we put the food and grass in Fangtou at that time. While leading Fu Pi of the former Qin Dynasty out of the city to get food, we prepared to occupy Yecheng, and based on this, we slowly controlled
The whole of Hebei, and after Fu Pi has food and grass, we will monitor and drive them westward back to Chang'an, and put all our energy on dealing with Murong Chui. The situation back then was so similar to the Jiangling defense battle.
