Liu Muzhi frowned tightly, shook his head and said: "No, almost all the food and ordnance in Jiankang City were given to Liu Yi's crusade. Now the food and grass in the city is only enough to maintain your 20,000 garrison.
Month, we have to wait until we receive summer grain from various places after July before we can expand our army and prepare for war."
Liu Yu nodded: "What about the soldiers, horses and grain reserves in the six counties in Jiangbei?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "The total number of garrisons in various places is only about 10,000. Even if a powerful person like Yanzhi recruits civilians, it will only be 8,000 or 8,000 people. In terms of military rations, Yuzhou Dacang
Including the grain stored in Dacang in Pengcheng, it could only be eaten by 20,000 people for about three months. Huan Xuan had always been afraid that the Beifu army in Jiangbei would rebel or collude with Nanyan to invade, so he transferred most of the grain and grass from Jiangbei to Jiangbei early.
It will also be difficult to collect military rations."
"Jinnu, the truly rational approach is to abandon the six counties in the north of the Yangtze River and retreat to the south of the Yangtze River to defend. If you really want to fight, you have to call back Xi Le's crusade and make further deals with the aristocratic families in Jiankang City.
Transfer more power and return to the previous model of aristocratic families and world affairs. Only in this way can we gain time to reorganize the legion from the last Feishui battle to fight against Nanyan and Huanxuan. But even so, facing two powerful forces at the same time
It will also be very difficult for the enemy."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Is it necessary to dispatch a large army of comparable numbers to fight? If the enemy has hundreds of thousands of troops, our army will only have 50,000 or 80,000, so we don't need to raise troops this time, because
Even if we reach Jiankang, when we have the largest number of troops, we will only have less than 2,000 soldiers and horses."
Liu Muzhi gritted his teeth: "But Murongde is not Huanxuan, and Jiangbei is not Jingkou. We can't do strategic deception. Even if you dispatch the entire army and join Jiangbei's military strength, it will only be 30,000 to 40,000 people, and there will be insufficient food and grass.
Two months, are you really sure to win? You know, most of the elite soldiers and generals are still in Xile's hands."
Liu Yu shook his head and said seriously: "I don't need to fight Murongde head-on. I just need to let him know that going south is a dead end. Moreover, someone wants us to start fighting at this time to reap the benefits."
Liu Muzhi's expression changed: "Do you want to go to Murong De alone, just like this time when you faced thousands of troops alone outside Jiankang City?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Isn't this what I have been doing for so many years?"
Liu Muzhi stamped his feet anxiously: "This time is different from the past. You are now the number one figure in the Jin Dynasty. You are not the small soldier and general before. If I kill you or capture you, then our tens of thousands of troops will be leaderless and will be defeated without attack."
, Murongde doesn’t understand this?”
Liu Yu put away his smile and said seriously: "Murong De dares to go south with all his strength like this. He will definitely not send troops on a temporary basis. He must be fully confident that there must be his internal support in the six counties in Jiangbei, who can serve as the leader.
I dare to take action. I will take a small number of troops to go first. Not only can I stabilize people's hearts, but I can also make this ghost show up and want to harm me. Once I kill this ghost and go to see Murong De with his head, then he will
It is impossible to know our true and false situation. I believe that at this stage, I am sure to persuade him to withdraw his troops."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "You know that there is a mole in Jiangbei, but you still want to go? This is too dangerous."
Liu Yu shook his head: "The reason why the mole is a mole is that he has a dark heart and cannot see the light. In this case, if I suddenly appear, he will definitely panic, and then he will feel that I have no military escort, and he will take advantage of me."
If they get the opportunity, they will turn and attack me. Fatty, tell me, which one of Liu Gai, the current governor of Beiqing Prefecture, or General Ning Shuo, or Yang Muzhi who is stationed in Pengcheng, is the mole?"
Liu Muzhi pondered for a while and said: "Liu should be the descendant of the famous Liu family in Congting in Pengcheng. The Liu family in Congting is the descendant of Liu Xiao, King Xiao of Chu in the former Han Dynasty."
Liu Yu was surprised and said: "After the King of Chu? Doesn't that mean I have the same ancestor?"
Liu Muzhi smiled and waved his hand: "It's not an ancestor. You are the descendant of Liu Jiao, King of Chu Yuan, who was the younger brother of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. And your ancestor's Chu State was destroyed after the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
With the exception of the country, your ancestors have become common people since then. And Liu Gai’s ancestor, King Chu, was the son of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, King Liu Xiao of Chu. It can be said that his ancestors took over
Where are the titles of your ancestors?"
Liu Yu suddenly realized and nodded: "So that's the case. However, if my ancestors rebelled and rebelled, there was nothing we could do about it. In the end, they died and the country was wiped out. Therefore, my ancestors must take this as a warning. We must be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. We must not start any more rebellions."
Rebellion will harm the country and destroy the family."
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Well, but this King Xiao of Chu didn't last long. He was demoted to Juchaohou after two generations. Later, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and removed the status of vassalage from Juchao like your family.
Moved to Pengcheng. Later, in the late Western Jin Dynasty, Liu Na became a famous scholar. He and Lu Ji and others were known as the Twenty-Four Friends, and their reputation was very important. His fourth grandson was Liu Gai. And Liu Ne's nephew was
It is Liu Wei, the famous founding official of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. That is, the branch that resisted Wang Dun's rebellion, fled to Shizhao after the failure, and later his grandson Liu Bo returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. But now it has declined and is no longer heard."
Liu Yu said thoughtfully: "I know this Liu Gai. He is also a member of the Beifu Army, but he is not the same as Liu Laozhi. He turned out to be Xie Yan's subordinate. After Xuan Shuai's Northern Expedition failed, he led his troops out of town
Xuzhou was based in Pengcheng, but later Yanshuai came back, took away most of his troops and officers, and became the governor of Xuzhou, so he drove Liu Gai further to Zhencheng, on the border of Qilu and the Yellow River, as the governor of Xuzhou.
The governor of Beiqingzhou. The last time I rescued Luoyang and raided Yecheng, I also dealt with him. For so many years, he has been guarding the border in the northernmost part of the Jin Dynasty and basically did not participate in the previous civil wars of the Jin Dynasty. No matter what
Whoever is in charge of the central government will keep the governor of Beiqing Province unchanged. But do you really think that Liu Gai may be the spy who secretly communicates with Nan Yan?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Do you think our General Liu has been able to stay safe in the northern border of the Jin Dynasty for so many years? Is it because of his generals or his strong military strength?"
Liu Yu's expression changed: "He has 5,000 elite soldiers under his command, most of whom are old troops from Beifu. Their strength is not weak. This time we raised troops, Xile also sent someone to contact him. If the situation is unfavorable, retreat to the north.
We still need his help."
Liu Muzhi put away his smile and said seriously: "There is something I haven't told you all this time. General Liu Gai Liu, when he reached middle age, had bad luck and married a beautiful lady, and this new
Madam, she is the granddaughter of Cui Hong, an important minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty and a wealthy family in Hebei Province. He once surrendered to your old friend Bataba Fei, the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and this marriage was also the result of this surrender. Of course, he later said that it was a false surrender.
