Liu Daogui narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "These things cannot be concluded casually without evidence. After Huan Wen's Northern Expedition failed, he blamed Yuzhou Governor Yuan Zhen, saying that he colluded with Qian Yan and deliberately refused to send military rations to the front line.
He was tried to be punished, but Yuan Zhen was unable to defend himself and raised his troops to rebel. Our Jin Dynasty experienced a moderate civil war. Although Shouchun was finally captured and the Yuan family was exterminated, tens of thousands of people were lost.
The elite soldiers and generals of the Jin Dynasty."
"This was even when the northern Hu barbarians did not send troops to support them. If Qian Yan really colluded with Yuan Zhen and sent troops south, the entire Yuzhou might no longer be owned by the Jin Dynasty."
"So you must be cautious about such things. The last time we had a civil war, we were forced to give up a large area of land recovered from the Northern Expedition from Qingzhou to Luoyang. This time, my eldest brother was originally going to destroy the country in the Northern Expedition. The situation was great, and because of the Heavenly Master
Dao rebelled again, and the Tiandao Alliance cooperated behind the scenes, which almost led to the country's destruction. Fortunately, we did not lose the country gained from the Northern Expedition. Therefore, we here in Jingzhou must not cause trouble, and we must not force Lu Zongzhi to rebel without preparation.
Lost Yongzhou."
Tan Daoji gritted his teeth: "According to what you said, brother Daogui, doesn't it mean that we will never be able to deal with Lu Zongzhi? We have to watch the Lu family live in Yongzhou for thousands of generations, even knowing that he conspired to rebel and colluded with others.
The party can’t punish crimes?”
Liu Daogui said calmly: "Don't be anxious. As the saying goes, those who do unrighteousness will be killed. The current war in Jingzhou and the country of the Jin Dynasty are still inseparable from Lu Zong's guarding Yongzhou. Anyway, we can't actually control it.
Let him govern well, and if he is willing to help in suppressing the rebellion like now, and can guard the northern gate of Jingzhou in normal times, that will be enough. When we put down the demon thief rebellion, eliminate the Tiandao Alliance, and the country of Jin Dynasty is completely stable,
At that time, in Jingzhou and Yuzhou, we mobilized heavy military groups in the name of the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition, and ordered Lu Zongzhi to lead his troops to meet us. Once Lu Zongzhi left Yongzhou, we could enter Yongzhou in the name of changing defenses and assisting the defense.
, control the situation, and then we can conquer Lingnan and Xichuan and let Lu Zongzhi be the governor. Once he leaves Yongzhou, where Panju has been running for many years, there will be nothing to fear. A year or two later, he will be transferred to Jianzhong.
By taking Kang as an official and a general, we can completely eliminate his threat. This is the least harmful and safest way to deal with the Jin Dynasty."
All the generals were amazed, but only Tan Daoji was still a little unwilling: "Even so, if he really colluded with demon thieves or even the devils of the Tiandao Alliance before, will these things be forgotten?"
Liu Daogui waved his hand: "Look at Brother Shi's decision. After all, national affairs are the most important thing. In order to punish the crime, it is not worth forcing the rebel princes, triggering a civil war, and risking the fall of Yongzhou. If the crime is not punished,
Even if he is guilty, there is no need to make it public. Just like my eldest brother, hasn't he been attacked and accused of surrendering to the enemy and treason for marrying his eldest sister-in-law, a princess of an enemy country, for so many years?"
Tan Daoji sighed: "Well, since Brother Daogui thinks like this, I will not mention this matter again in the future. I still understand the principle of putting the overall situation first. In fact, I was just temporarily angry. During the decisive battle,
At the time of life and death, the Lu family's father and son, who held heavy troops, refused to save them. Maybe they were not colluding with the monsters and thieves, but just wanted to preserve their strength and wait and see the success or failure. Don't take the complaints I just made to your heart.
.”
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "It is enough for a few of us to know these things. After we go back, we must also restrain our own personal guards. What we just said must not be spread to outsiders. If we encounter the soldiers of Yongzhou, we must treat them as before."
As comrades-in-arms, we should not show off to others, treat them coldly, and let them have unnecessary thoughts."
Liu Daogui took a deep breath: "Okay, let's stop this matter. Next, we still have to attack the demon thieves across the board. They have now set up a defensive formation in front of Wulindu. They want to use those
The Lingnan barbarians came to delay our attack and cover the large troops on board the ship, so the timing of our attack is very particular and we cannot attack early in the morning."
Tan Zhi laughed: "Yes, if we attack too early, the demon thieves in Wulindu will come back and fight. Although they don't have big defenses, they must have some traps, trenches and the like.
The layout is in the wild. Then it is best for us to attack with infantry first?"
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "No, their trap trench will not be too far away. It must be about fifty to one hundred steps in front of the position. We can let the cavalry attack first, but not to break through the formation, but to use bows and arrows."
After shooting and galloping, retreat along the arc. The infantry archers follow and continue to suppress the arrow rain. At the same time, the shield bearers cover the pikemen to follow up, dig holes in the ground, and find out the location of the enemy's trench traps and the time of our attack.
, we have to choose the time after the enemy troops begin to board the ship, and once the people have hope of survival, let them turn back and fight. But it is not that easy."
Tan Daoji nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is what is said in the art of war, attack them and return them to their laziness. But, what if these Lingnan barbarians behind them fight to the death to resist?"
Liu Daogui curled up his lips: "If it was Xu Daofu's general guard who was behind, they might all fight to the end and die to the last person. But these Lingnan barbarians are not the direct troops of Tianshi Dao. Xu Daofu
In the last battle, they first let the direct bodyguards fight to the death, but let these people stay until the end. This time, in turn, let them cut off the rear and cover their own people on the ship. I don't think they would be grateful to Xu Daofu.
He won't really stay and die. When he can no longer resist, he may run away and seize the ship."
Zhu Chaoshi laughed: "What Brother Dao Gui said is absolutely true. Then our attack action must be fast and swift. We cannot attack after all the monsters and thieves are on board. By the way, the ones we drove from Jiangzhou to the Gongan Ferry last time
Ships, as well as more than 300 naval warships from Jiangling City, have also approached the river fifty miles outside Wulindu according to your order. When will they also launch an attack?"
Fu Hongzhi's eyes widened in surprise: "What? Are our naval forces in place? How could it be so fast?"
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "This is all thanks to Mao Dezu, Wang Zhenzhi and the others who stayed in Jiangling. In just a few days, they organized all the boatmen and fishermen around Jiangling, plus the newly recruited young men in Jiangling City, and after lifting the
After the threat of siege, we all boarded boats and set out. Now we are almost approaching the battlefield. Since I am determined to eliminate the demon thieves, I will not let them escape by water. This battle is at Wulin Ferry.
Xu Daofu visited their burial place!" ()
