Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "But Liu Tingyun was far away in Jiankang at that time, so how could she instruct her subordinates to lead the way with Yu Yue who was cut off from contact?"
Liu Daogui said calmly: "According to Yu Yue, after Liu Tingyun's subordinates helped him find several secret bases, they withdrew one after another and did not fight in his army. The so-called informants and intelligence providers
After half a year, I rarely contacted him again, and even couldn't find him. I'm afraid this was because Liu Tingyun didn't expect that Yuzhou would fall quickly and return to Jiankang. Even Liu Tingyun herself was exposed in Jiankang in the end.
Died."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "This should be the reason, Dao regulations, how did Yu Yue persevere after losing this information?"
Liu Daogui curled his lips disdainfully: "Why is he insisting? He can neither surrender to the demon thieves nor have the courage to really attack the important towns in Jiangzhou such as Xunyang. It is just between these secret bases and mountains in Jiangzhou
It's just hiding here and there. Anyway, it's not him who endures the hardship. It's his subordinates who occupied the place first and arranged a comfortable and comfortable place. After confirming that the surrounding area is safe, they will pick him up to live there. Even in such an environment, he still doesn't forget to eat delicacies from mountains and seas, fine wine and delicacies every day.
, and even brought more than a dozen beauties kidnapped from various places to have fun all day long. If not, how could he make his subordinates alienate and betray him in the end? "
Liu Muzhi laughed: "This Yu Yue is really stubborn. Even in this kind of environment, he still doesn't forget to enjoy being first. When I heard these things, I couldn't believe my ears. But, he
With such chaos, my subordinates must have been disappointed a long time ago. Why didn't anyone defect to the demon thief and leave him? In fact, why didn't they tie him up and directly give him to the demon thief like they did later?"
Liu Daogui sighed: "After all, these people are his servants, and the family is still in the hands of other nephews of the Yu family. If Yu Yue's life is really harmed, or he is handed over to the demon thief, let alone whether the demon thief will
If he would spare them, at least his family back home would be dead. Moreover, many of these subordinates had relatives who died at the hands of demon thieves during the last Sun En Rebellion. Yu Yue specifically recruited people with blood feuds with demon thieves this time.
The people joining the army finally came into play at this time. In other words, they can betray Yu Yue, but they will never surrender to the demon thief."
Liu Muzhi said seriously: "I see, so when Zhu Chaoshi took your order to collect this army, they immediately had a reason to mutiny, kidnapped Yu Yue and handed him over to Zhu Chaoshi?"
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "That's right. I am the general who conquers the west. I am in charge of all the military forces west of Yuzhou. My capture of Yu Yue's army was authorized by the emperor. They acted with me as subordinates. From the perspective of national and military laws, there is no problem.
Moreover, what they hated most was not Yu Yue, but the twenty or so stewards around Yu Yue. These people used Yu Yue's name to do many evil things, such as robbery.
They robbed the people, beat and insulted the soldiers, and even extorted the food, grass and weapons that the soldiers had managed to assemble, and sold them back to demon thieves and other local tycoons. I have also audited these things after taking away Yu Yue's military power.
I have found out and dealt with all the lucky few who were not killed by Yu Yue's men on the spot according to military law."
Liu Muzhi nodded, but his brows furrowed: "It's a Taoist rule, even if you do this and you have a confession, but without a witness, if someone in the capital asks you questions in the future, you will be passive here.
"
Liu Daogui said calmly: "I serve the country, enforce the law like a mountain, and have a clear conscience. If I want witnesses, all the two thousand soldiers from Yu Yue's old department can testify."
Liu Muzhi wondered: "Aren't we three thousand subordinates? Why are there two thousand soldiers? Could it be..." He suddenly thought of something and sighed: "It seems that although we won the Battle of Horse Head, we suffered heavy losses."
Ah, as the last reinforcements to go out, they all suffered such heavy losses, and the other troops..."
Tears shone faintly in the corners of Liu Daogui's eyes, and his voice became choked up: "In the battle of Ma Tau, more than 10,000 of our troops were killed, and almost all of them were injured. This battle was fought with all their lives by the soldiers, just as
As you said, even Zhu Chaoshi's men from Jiangzhou, who were the last to come to the rescue, suffered losses of more than 30%. For example, Tan Shao's Wuling Man brothers, almost all of them died in the battle, and only a dozen of the more than 2,000 men survived.
Therefore, can we say that these Jiangzhou soldiers are arrogant and fierce generals, unjust people who rebelled against their commander?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head solemnly and said: "Of course not, they are good soldiers and men of the Jin Dynasty. I will definitely testify for you and ask for credit for them."
Liu Daogui said quietly: "They came to join the army to serve the country, not like the children of the Yu family, who just wanted to gain military glory. I have said before that these people have a blood feud with the monsters and thieves. They came here to kill the thieves and avenge them.
What are you trying to do? Yu Yue just didn't understand the military spirit and didn't know how to use it, so he wasted such a good army. When I took away his military power, I didn't know these things at first. I just thought that Zhu Chaoshi was a good general.
He wanted to defeat him because he wanted Zhu Chaoshi to be Yu Yue's deputy general and command on his behalf. Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Chaoshi arrived in the army, the soldiers themselves mutinied and expelled Yu Yue."
"Afterwards, after Yu Yue and these stewards returned to Jiangling, Wang Zhenzhi personally interrogated these villains. Those records of evil deeds made the capital of Wang Zhen furious. The whole army, even the soldiers and civilians of Jiangling City, were all furious.
In such a difficult time, there are still such villains who are causing trouble for the country and the army. If I had not killed them at that time, I would not have been able to appease the people and maintain their morale. I am afraid that even Jiangling would have lost their hearts. Only when people are united and united can we unite.
This is the biggest reason why we have been able to persevere for more than a year!”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "This is wartime, an extraordinary period. As the general of the Western Conquest, you control the military forces west of Yuzhou and seize power with life and death. Not to mention killing these villains who collaborate with the enemy and treason, and rebel against the army to deceive the commander.
It is your duty to kill Yu Yue, and if someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, Jinu and I will definitely make the decision for you."
Liu Daogui sighed: "It is precisely because I want to correct others first, so I not only killed these villains, but even my guards took the opportunity to take away the people's bamboo mats at the Jiangling Market in Jingzhou.
I ordered them to be killed. We people, with high positions and powerful positions, will inevitably have domineering people around us. They harm the people, and the people will only hate us officials and generals. If the people lose their support, then
Is our world still secure?" ()
