Chapter 1,343 Two generations of soldiers face off against each other
At the top of Luoyang City, Zhu Xu and Liu Yu stood side by side. The nearest guards retreated a hundred steps away, leaving ample space for the two people to talk. Zhu Xu looked at the wide-open city gate, and the crowds were flowing like crucian carp across the river.
, pushing the cart, carrying the packages, and happily left the city, and those people wearing blue robes of Tianshi Tao disciples were particularly eye-catching among the crowd. Along the way, the sound of chanting sutras and singing talismans could be heard endlessly, which made
People will have doubts about whether Luoyang is a huge dojo.
Liu Yu sighed softly: "Did we really win this battle?"
Zhu Xu shook his head: "I'm afraid only Lu Xun is the real winner. Even Dong Chang believes that this battle was won by Tianshi Taoist who risked his own life. I have to say that these monsters' ability to confuse people's hearts and make these
The ability of ordinary people to believe is truly admirable."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "So we must not let them continue to use this ability to turn the Central Plains and the North into theirs. If Lu Xun really gets the official position he wants and has a legal missionary
The conditions are even more unstoppable."
Zhu Xu sighed: "I have already attended more than a dozen memorials about the rapid development of Tianshi Tao in the Central Plains, and they have not been interrupted in the past few years, but no one in the court paid attention to it. I am afraid that there is someone behind them that allowed them to do this.
They are developing rapidly. As a governor of Yuzhou, I can't do things. I can't get money, food, and medicinal materials, but they get whatever they ask for. Today's battle is a battle for them to show their power to the world. To be honest, I was shocked.
It’s even more shocking than when I saw you defeating a million Qin troops in Feishui."
Liu Yu nodded: "General Zhu, I have always wanted to ask you a question. Now, as the governor of Yuzhou, you cannot leave Luoyang due to government orders. You are almost alone in the Central Plains guarding the city. Can you be satisfied with this situation?
?”
Zhu Xu shook his head: "No one can be satisfied, Liu Yu, there are no outsiders here today, we can also say something heartfelt. I know you want to go to the Northern Expedition, just like I thought when I was your age, but
I have to tell you that the Northern Expedition is not that easy, nor can it be achieved with enthusiasm. I have personally experienced Huan Gong’s Northern Expedition, and also participated in Xie Xianggong’s Northern Expedition, but in the end they all failed.
The hot blood has already gone cold."
Liu Yu said seriously: "General Zhu, you have made great contributions to the country and have great talents in the world. You should not be so negative. In recent years, the Jin Dynasty has lost almost all the results of the last Northern Expedition. Only the Central Plains has been preserved. That's it."
Your perseverance here, your contribution, your struggle, those noble families in the court, the ministers deliberately turned a blind eye, but I, Liu Yu, know it clearly. If I want to say that the person I admire the most in Dajin now, you
Definitely one of them.”
Zhu Xu said calmly: "You don't need to praise me so highly. What abilities do I have and what do I think? I know best in my heart that the real main force in Xie Gong's Northern Expedition was the Beifu Army. His true strength
The idea is to cross the Yellow River, occupy Hebei, and take advantage of the situation to enter Tuguanzhong. As for us, we just took advantage of the former Qin's retreat and gained a lot of lost ground. Later, you were defeated in Yecheng, and the Beifu army retreated thousands of miles, leaving our troops behind.
I should be in the second line, but I am at the forefront. As a governor, I am just fulfilling my responsibilities. I am unable to make progress, so I can only surrender the territory without losing it. After all, Luoyang is the old capital of the Jin Dynasty.
Lost in hand."
At this point, Zhu Xu's eyes flashed with tears: "Liu Yu, after all, I was defeated and captured. This is a shame that I can't wash away in my life. The reason why I didn't commit suicide for my country at that time was because I wanted to be useful.
I wanted to repay the Jin Dynasty again, and finally I got what I wanted in Feishui. However, this is a stain that I cannot wash away in this life. Although the court promoted me to an official, how do those who are really in power think of me?
It’s most clear, so now I don’t seek merit, but I seek no fault. No matter what, I can’t let Luoyang be lost again in my hands.”
"I'm very grateful to you for helping me defend Luoyang this time. I also know that you wanted to take advantage of Murong Yong's defeat to pursue him all the way and even capture Bingzhou, but this strategy is too risky. Now you and Lu Xun have fallen out.
, Tianshi Dao will become our most dangerous enemy in the Central Plains. If we are not careful, Luoyang will become their prey. I cannot afford to take this risk."
Liu Yu shook his head: "After all, Lu Xun and the others are the subjects of the Jin Dynasty. They dare not attack Luoyang directly like Murong Yong did. Governor Zhu may have been a little overthinking on this point."
Zhu Xu sighed: "You have also seen Lu Xun's methods. Giving people medicine can turn tens of thousands of people into monsters that are neither human nor ghosts. What he really wants is my position as the governor of Yuzhou.
With his official position, his preaching, evangelism, and power expansion actions can all be logical. If I leave Luoyang, he can first get out of the way of the east and let Zhai Ding Ling and Zhang Yuan's troops seize Luoyang, and then go to Luoyang.
Drive them away, so that he will become the hero of the restoration of Luoyang, and I will be the criminal responsible for the loss of land. My personal gain and loss, life and death, are trivial matters, but if the Central Plains falls into the hands of Lu Xun, then the Jin Dynasty will be in danger!"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Chief Zhu is dedicated to serving the country, and the younger generation admires him. However, I have already prepared a countermeasure for what you are worried about. Before I left, I had arranged for the reserve troops to come to the rescue. They will take over your troops.
Defend Luoyang and you will never be plotted by Lu Xun or other barbarians."
Zhu Xu was surprised and asked: "Can you mobilize the army now?" As soon as he said this, he realized that something was wrong. After all, Liu Yu used Liangzhou soldiers and horses to defeat King Ciduo of Xiyan a few days ago. He was still fresh in his mind.
He raised his lips and said: "Is it Mao Cishi's army? Now I heard that there is a change in Guanzhong. Dou Chong and Yang Ding are all eyeing Hanzhong. It is impossible for his army to give up its defense area and come to defend my Luoyang.
.Last time I helped you just to get back quickly, but this time it’s even more impossible.”
Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Chief Zhu has misunderstood. I am not talking about Liangzhou's troops and horses, but two strong reinforcements, which are enough to protect Luoyang and deter all overt and covert enemies from making mistakes."
Zhu Xu's spirit perked up: "Which two groups of troops are there?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "Huan Xuan's Jingzhou soldiers and horses were along the way. His original intention was to transfer the defenders of Hongnong and Shaanxi Province, causing the gate of Luoyang to be wide open, and attracting Murong Yong to attack Luoyang. In this way, he would take back his own Jingzhou
Soldiers and horses can make you a scapegoat, but now that we have a great victory over Murong Yong, all his plans have come to nothing. In order to gain more benefits, I bet that this Jingzhou prince will lead his victorious army and travel under the stars at night.
