After Liu Qianzhi came out of the queue, he paid a military salute to Liu Muzhi: "My subordinate Liu Qianzhi has seen Liu Pushe. What are your orders?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Qianzhi, when Marshal Liu founded Jianyi in Jingkou, I remember that among the wealthy families in Jingkou, your family was the first to respond to the uprising, besides the Jianyi brothers.
Before I joined, your family had spent all their money, drove their cattle, and brought their nephews and fellow villagers to join the army, but Jingkou Jianyi was the first to help."
Liu Qianzhi smiled and shook his head: "Brother Jinu actually came to see our brothers before Jianyi that year. His words were strange at the time. He said clearly that Brother Daogui was getting married and invited us to come.
We went to the banquet, but we didn’t understand what it meant at the time, and we didn’t even say that it was a bit far away. There were still some things to deal with in the village, so people couldn’t go there. We asked Brother Jinu to go back first with the money, and later sent
We only realized how foolish we were when Brother Nu started the uprising. Alas, we didn't catch up with Jianyi's twenty-seven brothers. This is our fate."
Liu Muzhi smiled and waved his hand: "Jinu really wanted to get you to join the gang at that time, but there were so many people and it was difficult to explain clearly. As old brothers in Jingkou at that time, you saw that Brother Jinu actually defected to Huan.
Xuan, I was angry and didn’t want to go with him, and Jinnu understood it, and told me many times afterwards that the three Jurong Liu brothers were the real Jingkou heroes.”
Liu Qianzhi scratched his head in embarrassment: "Oh, Brother Jinu really noticed our little thoughts. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. Originally, eldest brother and I thought that Brother Jinu had killed him after seeing so many veterans.
, I joined the Huanxuan Party out of fear, but my second brother said that Brother Jinu was bearing the humiliation in order to be successful in the future. We brothers even had a quarrel over this, but later Brother Jinu took the lead in establishing righteousness, and we finally
Come to understand, the second brother is right, he is truly a scholar."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Your second brother Qianzhi is also a famous bookbag in Jingkou. He is very intelligent. Now he is compiling history books. We also had many exchanges when we were in Jiankang. Well, this is a public discussion and a private friendship.
I won’t go into details, Qianzhi, how is the current situation of the grain, grass and weapons reserves in Jiangxia?”
Liu Qianzhi said quickly: "Before, Jiangxia was occupied by monster thieves and a lot of food and grass were stored. This time Xu Daofan was defeated miserably. After escaping to Jiangxia, he hurriedly took two thousand defenders and fled directly by boat, and there was no time for food and grass.
We took them away and set them on fire. We extinguished the fire when we arrived and only grabbed about 300,000 stones. As for the ordnance, there are still about a thousand sets of equipment, but most of them are damaged and need to be repaired. Now inside and outside Jiangxia City
There are more than 2,000 volunteers and able-bodied men who have come to join the army, and I have already organized them into reserve troops, preparing to train them for about three months and integrate them into the troops defending the city."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "The military reserves here in Jiangling City will be used for the next crusade against the demon thieves. They should not be touched lightly. Since there are still these supplies and strong men here in Jiangxia, can you use them as you did when you funded Jianyi?"
Let’s change our style and let General Yu form the army to attack Jiangzhou first?”
Liu Qianzhi's face flashed with embarrassment, and he blurted out: "But if these weapons and food are given to General Yu, what will happen to the defense of Jiangxia City?"
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Now the enemy forces in Jingzhou have been eliminated. Even the demon thieves who originally occupied Jiangxia City have all evacuated. With more than a thousand troops in your headquarters, you can defend the city. Besides, I can't
I have left you with half a year's worth of grain and grass to use. These stocks will be handed over to General Yu first. Later, the autumn grain will be collected and shipped to Jiangling. I will give it to you first."
Liu Qianzhi gritted his teeth and said: "Since it was Liu Pushe who personally gave the order, I must take the overall situation into consideration. After all, Jiangxia is opposite Jiangzhou. If the attack on Jiangzhou goes well, then Jiangxia will naturally be safe. This is the truth.
, I’m still clear about it.”
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Thank you Commander Liu for your understanding of justice and your generous help. Don't worry, when my Xi clan members go out to help later, they will definitely bring the newly collected grain and grass from our place to repay General Liu's kindness. Also, that is
Before the attack on Jiangzhou, my General Yu's military headquarters will be temporarily located in Jiangxia City, and the recruiting and training location will also be located outside Jiangxia City. I wonder if Governor Liu can make it more convenient?"
Liu Qianzhi said angrily: "The camp of your Jiangzhou governor should be located in Jiangzhou. I think Sangluozhou is very suitable. Now there are no monsters and thieves in the state, and it belongs to the boundary of Jiangzhou. In
It would be best to set up a government there, and it is so close to Jiangzhou, so it is convenient for you to contact the old department and re-direct the route."
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Although the demon thieves have withdrawn now, there are still many local tyrants in Jiangzhou under the banner of demon thieves, as well as families who are loyal to the court and have built their own forts, such as General Hu Fan and his family.
The forces are mixed, and it is difficult to distinguish whether we are truly loyal. If we rush over without troops, we may not be able to deter these people and make them loyal to the court, but will make people look down upon and even give birth to rebellion. In Sangluo Prefecture,
It is of course possible to set up forward outposts to communicate with Jiangzhou forces, but to gather troops, raise food and fodder, dock ships, and build momentum, only large counties and ports like Jiangxia and Xiakou are most suitable."
Liu Qianzhi looked at Liu Muzhi: "Is it Liu Pushe who wants to give the order to surrender Jiangxia to General Yu to establish his residence in the festival?"
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "The imperial edict I brought only appointed General Yu as the governor of Jiangzhou and General Jianwei, who has the right to open a government and station in the festival. It did not forcefully stipulate where to set up a government. Jiangxia is your governor Liu."
It’s up to you to decide whether they are allowed to station troops and open mansions on their territory.”
Liu Qianzhi laughed: "In that case, I also want to use Jiangxia's resources to recruit troops and horses, and then become the first vanguard of the Eastern Expedition against the demon thieves. Food, grass, ordnance, as well as strong men, etc., Liu Pu shot and ordered me to give them to
General Yu, I can only obey your orders. As for the matter of establishing a government and establishing a festival, I am embarrassed and ask General Yu and Mr. Tao to find another place..."
Tao Yuanming rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Liu County Sheriff, what do you think of this? We are only temporarily borrowing the treasure land to gather troops. Once we go to Jiangzhou, we will move the military headquarters and no longer be in Jiangxia.
Yes, in order to thank you for your troubles during this time, we will give you a generous reward, three hundred transport warships, which will be yours to use later as a vanguard against thieves, what do you think?"
Even Yu Yue's eyes widened at this moment: "Tao Changshi, this, these are three hundred warships. If they are given to Governor Liu, what will we do with the subsequent transportation?"
Tao Yuanming laughed: "Could it be that after my lord arrived in Jiangzhou, he still wanted to come back?" (End of Chapter)
