Tan Daoji frowned: "Is there really such a result? If the demon thieves divide their forces and we attack directly, can't we defeat them in one fell swoop?"
Tan Zhi sighed: "It is easy for demon thieves to fight this kind of momentum battle. We have lost Wulin Ferry, and we dare not fight them east of the Han River. They only need to send a small number of soldiers to various places.
Villages and docks, publicize their victory, extort military rations from each village and dock, and hand over the heads. If there are any disobedient, just choose one or two villages to slaughter, and then take these heads to the next village to intimidate
, then it’s hard for anyone to disobey, this is a common tactic of demon thieves, we must resist them here in order to buy time for the people in each village and township to evacuate.”
Tan Daoji gritted his teeth: "What Third Brother said makes sense. When we were in Wudi, they often did this kind of thing of driving people to attack the city. We were under Brother Jinu at that time, guarding Juzhang and Haiyan.
At that time, I saw it with my own eyes. This time, the demon thieves came so quickly that the people here in Jingzhou didn’t know what was going on. If they didn’t dare to fight the demon thieves when they saw the army withdrawing, they would probably fall down because of fear and disappointment.
Xiang Yaozhi, let’s put it this way, our battle must be fought here.”
