The ancestor said calmly: "This possibility is extremely low. Although I am now living in Xu Daofu's body, even with my arrangement and the current situation in Shixing City, there is nothing wrong with trapping and killing Liu Yu.
Be sure, this matter can only be discussed in the long term. Now, we have to consider the layout of the entire Lingnan region after Lingnan is completely captured by the Jin army and Lu Xun is unable to counterattack. This is why I have called you two venerables to discuss today."
Doupeng frowned and said: "Ancestor, you said you are not sure how to deal with Liu Yu? So this time Tianshi Dao is really over, and there is no possibility of a comeback?"
The ancestor nodded: "Venerable Doupeng, let me tell you the truth, the problem with Tianshi Dao is that he has lost the hearts of the people and can no longer conquer the world. Even without Liu Yu, this year
The large number of troops raised has been very obvious. If we leave, we will
With their various spells and magical weapons, they may be able to conquer the world militarily, but they will never be able to dominate the world. As a result of the total loss of people's hearts, even the powerful Shang Dynasty perished, but will Tianshi Tao be stronger than them?
Even if Liu Yu is killed, it is just a pioneer for the king."
The black robe muttered dissatisfiedly: "But as long as Liu Yu, the great enemy, is killed, do we still care who did it? As long as Tianshi Tao can help, we should support them."
The ancestor shook his head and said calmly: "The last battle of Tianshi Dao in the past two years, including the war in Wudi for more than ten years, has proved this. Even if they succeed in military affairs, they will not be able to feed the people.
, to establish political power, here in Guangzhou the land is vast and sparsely populated, and all we need to do is to capture people to serve in the army. But when we go to the southern states and counties outside the mountains, we can only destroy them.
There is no construction. At best, the government of the Jin State was destroyed and the local powerful people were allowed to govern themselves. If they really allowed them to invade Jiankang, they would set up teachings everywhere and then send people to govern. They would inevitably start fighting with the local powerful nobles again.
The conflict will eventually lead to a general chaos that will bring disaster to the world. If they win, they will be like Ran Min. The country has no farmers and people eat each other, and they will be destroyed by external forces."
"The reason why Liu Yu was able to defeat Tianshi Dao is not that he fought and commanded to the point of being invincible, but that he was more popular and made the soldiers and civilians of the world willing to work for him. What you have considered before is good, even if it is to support him
Monk Huiyuan, a popular living Buddha, challenged Liu Yu publicly and from the perspective of public opinion.
, and don’t expect Tianshi Dao anymore. Even Lu Xun, who has escaped now, can only be regarded as a pirate or bandit at most. He will fight back from time to time to disgust the Jin Dynasty. Expect them to achieve great things and eliminate Liu Yu.
It’s impossible. Because they are unpopular, I’m afraid even the current subordinates will rebel sooner or later.”
Having said this, the ancestor paused: "So, our focus later should be on how to make Liu Yu lose people's hearts and how to make him lack unity internally. Monk Huiyuan is a good breakthrough point, but I am still that
In short, you are thinking too simply, thinking that there must be a relationship between the two of them.
Of course there will be conflicts and contradictions, but in my opinion, not necessarily. Just like what you are talking about now, it is to pardon the various tribes in Lingnan after the war, especially the White Wolf tribe and the Black Eagle tribe, such as the big rebel tribes, Liu Yu and Huiyuan.
It is very possible for the monks to reach an agreement, just like how monk Huiyuan let Lu Xun go."
The black robe frowned: "Please tell me, ancestor, didn't Liu Yu want to destroy Lu Xun before? How could he pardon these rebellious tribes after the war?"
The ancestor said calmly: "Of course Liu Yu wanted to eliminate Lu Xun. Only by killing the two rebel leaders, Lu Xun and Xu Daofu, could he completely eliminate the rebels of Tianshi Dao. This will
It was a landmark event, but just like before, he killed Sun En, or forced Lu Xun and Xu
Daofu beheaded Sun En as a condition for pardoning Lu Xun and Xu Daofu. What if the same happens this time? It is easy to kill a Lu Xun, or when he is cornered, his subordinates may capture him in order to survive.
Lu Xun showed his loyalty, but what happens next? Should he kill these people who surrendered, or not?"
Doupeng's expression was solemn, he nodded and said: "What the ancestor said makes sense, it is indeed true. Liu Yu is determined to only kill the culprits, or at most the three Wu old thieves, who will fight to the end, if he can do it early
It is possible to redeem one's sins by surrendering to the local killers. However, even if Lu Xun is eliminated, Xu Dao
So, what should we do if there are still old thieves from the past left? These are thousands of thieves who have settled their families in Lingnan. In the past, prisoners were exiled to smoky places like Jiaozhou in Lingnan. Here
We are already in Lingnan, where else can we send them? Can’t we kill them all?”
The black robe said coldly: "Liu Yu is dedicated to eradicating evil. In Guanggu, he killed more than 3,000 people from the Murong clan, the heads of various tribes, and the chief's family. His knife is very fast.
He may not be able to do this to the officials and generals who are teaching the way."
The ancestor shook his head and said: "It's different. Tianshi Tao has been operating in Lingnan for nearly ten years and has already been deeply rooted. Many people did not participate in the army, but were just retained local officials. Even those with Black Eagle and White Wolf
These tribes have feuds with each other and have their sons as hostages under their regime.
To do something, if you kill them all, you will force the entire Lingnan to rebel. And since it is said that there is no need to ask for coercion, then everyone can say that he is a coercion and was forced to do so. How can you judge? Zhu Chaoshi, a general of the Jin army, also
He once surrendered to the enemy, and although he changed his mind later, he was still a coercion, should we deal with him?"
Having said this, the ancestor paused and said in a deep voice: "Actually, what Liu Yu wants is to pacify Lingnan as soon as possible. Lu Xun and Xu Daofu must be killed. Failure to kill them will not be enough to comfort them who have died in the past twenty years."
There are countless civilians and soldiers on hand, but not necessarily others. If too many are killed and too many are involved, it will be possible.
It will affect the future rule. After all, Tianshi Dao raised an army, with an army of two to three hundred thousand, sweeping over half of the Jin Kingdom. If they really wanted to retaliate, killing half of the people in the world would not be enough. Therefore, in Lingnan, Liu Yu
The appointment of Wu Yinzhi as the governor has actually shown his future attitude."
The black robe's eyes lit up and he murmured: "Yes, Wu Yinzhi, I have ignored this person. Eh, that's not right. Ancestor, you said that this Wu Yinzhi is a rare good person among the children of aristocratic families. He is an upright official. He used to be a good person in the family."
When he was the governor of Guangzhou, he was captured by Tianshi Dao and suffered a lot. His son also died in the battle. He returned to Guangzhou to take revenge. Wasn't he just going to kill him?" (End of this chapter)
