Liu Xiu thought a lot. On the one hand, it was no longer suitable for him and Liu Yu to continue fighting at this time.
Although Pang Juan in the north has suspended his offensive and rested, the opponent has not retreated yet. And as long as the opponent has not retreated, Yuan Shu's threat will always exist there.
But now, the important southern town of Jiangxia is gone again, and the door to Jingzhou is wide open. Xiang Yu is a fierce tiger. Only by working together can the two of them have a chance to solve this crisis. If they hold each other back, they will definitely die in the end.
Burial place.
Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to put aside the previous conflicts for the time being and unite the two sides. Even if there is anything else, it will have to wait until they defeat the Xiang family and defeat Yuan Shu.
What's more, with the battle against Jiangxia, Liu Yu's strength gap has been completely widened by him. In the battle with Xiang Yu, it mainly depends on him. His chance of winning is definitely better than Liu Yu's.
"Come here, please tell me Kuai Tong, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Deng Xi, Pang Ji, Wang Can..." Liu Xiu clicked the names of more than a dozen people.
These people are all counselors of all sizes in Jingbei. At the same time, they are all good in literary talent. They even include Wang Can, one of the Seventh Son of Jian'an. Liu Xiu summoned such a group of people to gather the strength of everyone.
Send a request for payment.
Firstly, it can stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers and civilians in northern Jingbei. Secondly, Liu Xiu wants to completely destroy Xiang Yu's reputation. No one will like a tyrant who slaughters a city at will. In the future, no matter which city Xiang Yu attacks again, as long as he
Once the incident in Jiangxia is publicized, it will be very difficult for Xiang Yu to break the city again.
Although transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, no matter how slow a thing was, it would eventually spread throughout the world. What's more, there were many thoughtful people who promoted it.
Yangzhou.
"Xiang Yu is a common man, not a son of man!" Zhu Yuanzhang got angry and cursed.
Zhu Yuanzhang's place is close to the territory of the two princes Liu Xiang, so news there can naturally reach him as quickly as possible.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang had already ordered Jin Yiwei to pay more attention to Jingbei. There was civil strife in Jingbei, and with such a piece of fat in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not have any ideas?
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had already ordered the local government to tighten internal tensions and loosen external forces. All armies secretly gathered in Yuzhang. As soon as fighter planes appeared, they quickly attacked, first to Jiangxia and then to Jingbei. The importance of Jiangxia is to everyone in the south.
The princes are extremely important.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect how fast and urgent Xiang Yu's movements would be. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect how cruel Xiang Yu's methods would be. He would not seal the sword for three days.
In the era of cold weapons, although this kind of thing was rare, it happened frequently, and the main reasons were just a few.
First, there is not enough food to feed so many people in the city.
Second, to intimidate the enemy so that the opponent does not dare to compete with you, so that you can defeat them without fighting, and finally capture a city without spending a single soldier.
Third, reward morale and kill people to vent their anger. If the attack cannot be taken for a long time, morale will decline, and any siege battle will cause heavy casualties, and they will witness the bloody scene of the corpses of their comrades piled up. Therefore, the resentment of the attackers towards the defenders is
As the intensity of resistance increased day by day, for example, Yangzhou, which was guarded by Shi Kefa, was massacred, which was caused by stubborn resistance.
Although there are other reasons related to religion, race, etc., the main reasons are still those three.
But none of these three reasons make sense to Xiang Yu! The south not only has Li Xiang’s Maling potatoes, but also Champa rice. Xiang Yu didn’t have a war involving hundreds of thousands of people like Li Xiang did.
Afterwards, people's livelihood in several states will need to be restored, and there will be no food shortages.
At the same time, the troops in Jiangxia City suffered heavy losses, while the rest of Jingbei's troops were basically in Nanyang. It can be said that after defeating the important town of Jiangxia, Xiang Yu had already won more than half of his victory, and there was no need to use this move to deter Jingbei.
In addition, Jiang Xia was defeated by Xiang Yu in a surprise attack, and the third reason is also untenable. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang simply could not figure out why Xiang Yu did such a tragic act.
"My lord, Xiang Yu is so cruel and unkind, my lord must choose a day to attack him and avenge the hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Jiangxia!" Yao Guangxiao's expression changed, and he stepped forward and suggested sadly.
This time, Yao Guangxiao saw an opportunity, an opportunity to pacify the south.
If Zhu Yuanzhang takes action against Jingbei at this time, he will certainly be able to obtain huge benefits without any effort.
However, taking action against Jingbei at this time, in the eyes of the world, would mean joining forces with Xiang Yu. Coupled with Xiang Yu's appearance in Jiangxia, Zhu Yuanzhang himself would have to make a fuss first, and his reputation over the years would be ruined.
But if we change our thinking, abandon Jingbei, and start attacking the Xiang family, everything will be different again.
First, reputation, Zhu Yuanzhang can definitely gain a lot of fame by stepping on Xiang Yu, especially when the good and bad of the two sides are in contrast.
Secondly, regarding interests, Yuan Shu has been entangled in the north of Jingbei, and now he has suffered heavy losses due to Xiang Yu's surprise attack. He will no longer be a threat for a long time.
And taking advantage of Xiang Yu's northern expedition to Jingbei, if Zhu Yuanzhang raids Jingnan at this time, he will definitely be able to catch him off guard. By the way, if his hometown is stolen, Xiang Yu will definitely come back to help, and the crisis in Jingbei will be solved.
Zhu Yuanzhang can devour a weak Jingbei at any time. At this time, it is better to help Jingbei to save Jingbei from Xiang Yu's hands, and wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to bite Jingnan hard first, and then swallow Jingbei. Next, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang does not commit any major crimes
This strategic mistake means that the south must be Zhu Yuanzhang's world.
Third, the people's support. At this time, they thought that if the people of Jiangxia took revenge for attacking Xiang Yu, in the future when Zhu Yuanzhang forges ahead into Jingbei, he will get twice the result with half the effort.
Sacrifice the immediate interests of Jingbei in exchange for the interests of the entire south in the future. On this point, Yao Guangxiao understands the importance of familiarity very clearly. Moreover, he believes that Zhu Yuanzhang will also be able to understand clearly.
"Okay, what the military advisor said makes sense. Please pass on the order. Xiang Yu is a cruel and ruthless man who massacred hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. I am incompetent. I am willing to raise an army to attack him and eliminate this great evil for the people of the world!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.
Although Yao Guangxiao did not say it explicitly, Zhu Yuanzhang himself could also analyze the twists and turns behind this.
At this time, attacking Jingnan may not be as easy as attacking Jingbei. But as a monarch, how can we only focus on temporary interests? Long-term interests are the most important to them.
As long as this battle can take the opportunity to cripple the Xiang clan and then attack the weak Jingbei, Zhu Yuanzhang will have enough possibilities to unify the entire south.
