Chapter 5172 A basin of cold water cools the heart
Shen Linzi sneered and said: "I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case. Huan Wen has Xi Chao who joined the army with a beard. Lord Qinglong's wisdom and conspiracy are not necessarily those of my grandfather. Even if my grandfather followed Huan Wen, this is from Long. The credit may not necessarily fall on him, but I am afraid that he refused to follow the army back south to the Jin Kingdom, and would rather become an official in the former Qin Dynasty, but he still has no confidence in his future in the Jin Kingdom."
Wang Zhen'e smiled slightly: "There is also the factor you mentioned. At that time, the Jin Dynasty was full of talents, but they all had their own positions. They only cared about their own family and their own ego, regardless of the country. If Xie An led the army During the Northern Expedition, I think my grandfather would have made other choices. However, in general, it is human nature for a gentleman not to enter a dangerous country or build a dangerous wall. Just like your Shen family, when the country is in turmoil, In my opinion, it is reasonable to make other choices at this time. The problem is not only your Shen family, but also the scum of the aristocratic families and clans such as Sima Daozi, Sima Yuanxian, and Wang Guobao."
Shen Linzi's expression softened slightly and nodded: "Yes, it is sad to allow these incompetent and selfish people, these scum and worms to climb to high positions, and even be able to decide major events in a country, Brother Jinu The purpose of taking us is to change such a dark world, so that the capable will be promoted and the mediocre will be demoted. The talented will get the position they deserve according to their merits, rather than relying on their origins or connections. This is the case for those of us with low backgrounds. The reason why people are always willing to follow Brother Jinu."
His words resonated with the surrounding people, and many generals and commanders all nodded in agreement. In this military meeting where few children from aristocratic families were present, there would always be a market for such grassroots counterattack remarks.
Wang Zhen'e smiled slightly and said: "Lin Zi, we will discuss these matters later. After all, this is a military discussion. In fact, what I just meant was not to target your Shen family or to question your loyalty, but to say, Shen The family has received great favor from the Celestial Master Tao for hundreds of years, and Sima Daozi and Sima Yuanxian, father and son, were scoundrels who brought disaster to the country. It can be said that they turned against the Celestial Master Tao. The Shen family was bewitched by Sun Enlu Xun and others, and was It is reasonable to be involved in this rebellion, but in any case, the Shen family was an important member of the turmoil at that time, and was also the main force in the first batch of troops to respond. But when Sun En and the others escaped, they were still It is a fact, Lin Zi, to leave loyal subordinates like the Shen family behind and die."
Shen Linzi gritted his teeth: "Yes, I don't deny this. It is precisely because of this incident that we can see the true face of the demon thieves. They are definitely not what they say, they want to undress and help each other, and with fellow Taoists We will live or die together, but we will die as Taoist friends rather than as poor Taoists, and all of our subordinates are pawns that they can abandon at any time."
Wang Zhene nodded: "So Xu Daofu did this kind of thing many times. In the Battle of Horse Head, he almost abandoned the entire army and escaped alone. This time with Fan Chongmin's fleet, I I think it is also of this nature, that is, we deliberately use those old thieves who have lost confidence, lost their fighting spirit, and want to die, and let them mix with the newly attached mobs, so that we can easily defeat them and capture nearly ten thousand people. This is the only way, Only by showing that the demon thieves are already vulnerable and people's hearts are in chaos can they further indulge us. It makes us feel that we are sure of victory, and this is probably their only chance to defeat us."
Tan Daoji said thoughtfully: "The idea of suppressing evil is closely related to the art of war. If you think about it carefully, it is true. The strength of the demon thieves has not been severely affected. The main force is still there. Those Sanwu and
The old bandits in Guangzhou only lost more than a thousand people in the battle of Nanling, which did not affect their combat effectiveness. Xu Daofu's main force was lost in Jingzhou, but the number of other Wu and Lingnan troops, including the rebellious officers and soldiers, was still
There are more than 50,000 people. These people are elites with rich combat experience. As long as their morale does not collapse, they are a powerful force, enough to fight. If we fight them on land, victory will not be much suspense, but
What if we fight on the water?"
At this point, Tan Daoji frowned tightly and did not continue. Zhu Chaoshi on the side said solemnly: "Among the demon thieves, especially the old thieves from Sanwu, they are the ones who can sail the boat as if they were walking on the flat ground."
That kind of thing, our Beifu soldiers have been fighting with for many years, and they have no advantage at all on the water, and even the whole army has been wiped out many times. After all, this is not a matter that can be solved by bravery. If our army is arrogant,
Thinking that you will definitely win, if you go to a decisive battle with the elite navy troops who have come prepared for the monster thieves, you may really be able to defeat them in one battle."
Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the generals whose expressions became serious, and said: "This is the role of suppressing evil. When everyone is hot-headed, I can give you a bucket of cold water. Although it is uncomfortable, I can't stand it."
It sounds nice, but it is what we need most now. Wuji and Xi Le, they lacked such harsh advice before sending out troops. We are all leaders of troops, and each of our orders may determine thousands of lives.
The life and death of soldiers depends on fighting on the water. No matter how loyal the Beifu brothers are, if the boat capsizes or sinks, they will lose their lives. Unlike fighting on land, you can still fight a bloody way to break through, so we must not take it lightly.
"
Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth and said: "Jinnu, tell me how to fight this battle. Now that we have come to our senses, we must not be too proud and think that we can win this time just by fighting casually. It can even be said that now
The enemy is still strong and we are weak, right?"
Liu Yu nodded: "It would be nice to have Ah Shou know this. Although we have joined forces, the number and size of our ships are not as good as those of the demon thief. Especially for its six giant ships, we are afraid that even close combat can't be achieved."
It’s all very difficult. If we force ourselves to fight on water, we won’t have any advantage. So tell me, how should we fight this battle?”
Zhu Lingshi said solemnly: "Since the enemy is strong and we are weak, and now the monster thieves are coming with all their might, trying to take us down in one go, then we should avoid their sharp edges and retreat to Nanling and Liyang for the time being, while the army continues
Advance along the river and attack the counties and counties in southern Anhui where the demon thieves are located. You can also send Yuzhou soldiers and horses to attack on the Leichi side and attack the water fortress from the land. In this way, even if the demon thieves can run rampant on the river, they will lose the land.
We can no longer make any waves because of our fundamentals, so in the end we can only retreat and send troops ashore to fight, and this is what we hope for."
Xiang Mihahaha smiled: "It's better to use Big Stone's brains. Let the demon thieves give up the navy and go ashore, which is like cutting thatch. Brother Jinu, give the order. The army retreats and goes ashore. I, Tieniu, am willing to go forward and change
