Chapter 4753: Exaggerating victory to reassure people
Taohua's eyes sparkled with tears, and she knelt down with the other women: "Thank you, General Tan, for saving your life. We misunderstood you before. It was our ignorance and stupidity. Please forgive me, General!"
Tan Daoji waved his hand: "You have not experienced these wars and do not know these things. Seeing your father, brother, husband, brother, and your own son die in front of you, it is normal to have resentment. In the final analysis, it is also
It is our duty to fail to protect everyone and allow our villages to be attacked and plundered by bandits. However, the army still has to fight hard with the monsters and thieves here and is unable to rescue them. This is our dereliction of duty as soldiers."
Taohua gritted her teeth: "This, these can only be said to be fate. When my father-in-law was still alive, he always said that it was our misfortune to be in this troubled world. Only by supporting the Jin Dynasty and General Liu can the world be peaceful.
Only in this way can we get peace and tranquility forever. Over the years, Jingzhou has been constantly invaded by barbarians from the north, and the various generals and governors in Jingzhou are all very ambitious and don't think about what to do.
To protect us, they only want to fight for power and gain. The Huan family, which claims to protect us forever, ends up going to Beijing to seize the throne, and ends up dying and destroying the country."
"And the last heir of the Huan family, Huan Qian, actually brought those Hulu and Qiang thieves to attack us. The bandits who came to hunt us this time are the two groups of thieves who colluded together. We can finally see it.
, The ones who are really good for us, the people of Jingzhou, are the Beifu Army, General Liu, and Liu San, the governor. Even now, aren't you fighting for us?"
Zhu Lingxiu laughed and said, "You are right. Our Beifu Army came to Jingzhou not to enslave and rule you, but to save the people of the whole world, including the people of Jingzhou. The current war is only temporary.
Because there are demon thieves inside and barbarians outside, they collude together to constantly stir up wars. Miss Peach Blossom, let me tell you good news. Our General Liu has defeated the demon thieves in Jiankang. They want to
The plot to start a rebellion and seize the world was completely shattered. This time, despite the fierceness of the monster thieves, they were just struggling to the death. Withstanding this wave of attacks from the monster thieves, all that was left was to kill them.
Completely wiped out.”
How could these civilian women know about these military affairs? Some of them opened their eyes wide and shook their heads in disbelief: "Really, is this really the case? Did the demon thief really lose the battle?"
Several women even whispered: "But when these bandits attacked, they kept saying that Jiankang had fallen, Jin Dynasty was dead, and they were here to recover Jingzhou."
Hu Longshi's face darkened, and he said sternly: "That's nonsense. These are just the words of the bandits to shake the morale of the army. Don't believe it!"
Tan Daoji smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Longshi, don't be like this. What they said makes sense. You see, for these villagers and common people, these bandits and thieves usually hide in the mountains and dare not come out. They have too much time to take care of themselves.
, now they suddenly became bold and dared to gather together and attack these villages in broad daylight. They did not pay attention to the garrison of Wulindu, the Ma Tou Camp, and the garrison of a series of nearby forts.
Where did this courage come from? If Jiankang hadn't been lost, why would this have happened?"
Having said this, Tan Daoji looked at Taohua: "Taohua, you think so, right?"
Taohua lowered her head in embarrassment: "General Tan, you are really a god. You know what we are thinking. However, if the demon thieves really lose, how can they have the courage to come back and attack Jingzhou?
"
Some women also responded: "Yes, if we lose, we have to flee back to our hometown in Guangzhou as soon as possible. How dare we come to Jingzhou again? Jingzhou has a large army of our governor Liu San."
"That's right, Inspector Liu San is very powerful. Last year, so many thieves came to attack, but they were all defeated and wiped out. Even the monster thieves' extremely large warships were all sunk in the battle of Jiangling. The monster thieves
Together with all the barbarians and bandits, more than 100,000 people were wiped out in total. This monster thief can't even defeat Jiankang, so he dares to come to Jingzhou to seek death?"
Tan Daoji nodded: "Everyone's question is very good, but I must say that after the demon thieves defeated our Jin Dynasty Yuzhou and Jiangzhou, the team expanded rapidly. On the one hand, they relied on coercion and coercion of the people.
Just like you today, when the village is attacked, the men will be captured by them and killed if they don't submit. On the other side, there are some bad guys who usually don't dare to make mistakes. Seeing that the demon thief has gained power for a while, they also join in.
The mob numbered more than 200,000. At that time, our General Liu, also known as Jinu Ge, was marching against the Huru in the north and conquering the Southern Yan. The country was empty, so Jiankang was in great danger for a while. But here in Jingzhou,
Although there are tens of thousands of troops, in addition to the demon thieves, we also have to deal with thieves like Huan Qian, Gou Lin, and even the Qiao Shu army in the west. We cannot easily send troops to pursue the demon thieves."
Speaking of this, Tan Daoji sighed: "Even my general was ambushed and failed a year ago because he underestimated the enemy and rushed in to pursue the demon thieves. Therefore, we gave up the plan to directly attack the demon thieves at that time.
Instead, the main strategy is to stabilize Jingzhou and use defensive counterattacks. We believe that with General Liu and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, Jiankang City can definitely be defended!"
Taohua was fascinated by what she heard, and her eyes widened: "Well, did General Liu defend in the end? Ah, my brain, didn't General Zhu just say, we defended!"
Tan Daoji smiled slightly, and there was a burst of cheers around him. These women who had survived the disaster even forgot about the grief of losing their loved ones, and cheered here, as if they had defeated the enemy in front of them.
Zhu Lingxiu smiled and said: "Yes, our brother Jinu, who is Marshal Liu? He is the Big Dipper in the sky and comes down to earth. He is an invincible military genius. No matter how powerful the barbarians and demon thieves are, they will all be defeated by him.
, he heard that the demon thief was going to attack Jiankang, so he did not bother to bring a large army, but only brought a few dozen cavalry to accompany the general, and then rode back lightly. When they heard that he was coming back, the demon thief Lu Xun and Xu Daofu were so frightened that they jumped to the shore.
They didn't even dare to attack. It was only when our Northern Expedition army returned to the city in batches that they realized that if they were to attack the city at this time, how could they possibly capture it? This battle lasted for more than half a year, and in the end, the monsters and thieves destroyed the city.
Tens of thousands of soldiers took the initiative to escape, and even the internal agents in the city were destroyed!"
