Wang Hong slapped his thigh bitterly: "It's my fault that I was confused for a moment and almost fell into the trap of a traitor. However, Nankang is indeed lost. Zhennan, now we should notify the commander on the one hand and contact the commander on the other.
Liu Jingzhou of Jiangling asked him to send troops together to regain Nankang."
He Wuji laughed: "Wrong, what we have to do now is to quickly send troops to recover Nankang!"
At this moment, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and Yin Chan was the first to shout: "Zhennan, please think twice, our army has been newly defeated, the former army has been wiped out, morale has been damaged, and our troops are insufficient. We have to shrink our defense in Yuzhang."
It’s too late, how can we take the initiative?”
Deng Qianzhi, the chief minister who had been silent for the whole time, also said in a deep voice: "Zhennan, Yin Canjun is right. Now is not the time to take the initiative. We must gather troops, horses, food and grass from all over the place to defend Yuzhang City, and join forces with Liu Yi from Yuzhou and Jingzhou."
It is the right choice for Liu Daogui and Liu Daogui to fight against the demon thieves together."
He Wuji turned to look at Zhang Shao, who had been silent all this time: "Zhang Canjun, did you hear what the two chief historians said? You have always been resourceful. What do you think?"
Zhang Shao sighed softly: "Zhennan has judged that the enemy's troops are not too large and are just bluffing, so do you want to catch the enemy off guard when they sneak attack Nankang and lose their foothold?"
He Wuji laughed: "Zhang Canjun still sees things thoroughly. He is worthy of being a senior counselor in Liu Cheqi's shogunate for a long time. I am so right to bring you here this time. Then you say, my
Is this the right way to play?”
Zhang Shao curled his lips: "Now even if Xu Daofu's lone army sneaks up on him and Lu Xun's main army has not moved, Xu Daofu's strength should be no less than two thousand. Otherwise, even if he uses various underhanded tactics, it is unlikely that he will be able to survive in one day.
We destroyed our Nankang garrison of 2,000 within a short period of time, and only let back the Prime Minister Wang. Although they may have been bluffing by deceiving their troops, there have been many remnants of the Huan Chu Party and bandits from all walks of life remaining in Jiangzhou for many years.
As soon as they hear that the thieves have succeeded, they will defect to each other one after another. We are afraid that the troops and horses we have are not enough to counterattack Nankang."
He Wuji curled his lips disapprovingly: "Difficulties are mutual, and time is fair. Nankang has just fallen, and we have only just learned of the news. The thieves and bandits lurking in the mountains and forests everywhere will not know for a few days.
, Lu Xun's army has not yet dispatched in Guangzhou, and even if it attacks now, it will take more than half a month to reach Nankang and meet Xu Daofu."
"Xu Daofu captured Nankang and did not immediately attack Yuzhang. He was only about a thousand miles away. He advanced rapidly and could attack it in seven or eight days. But he did not do this. What does this mean? This means that he did not attack at all.
Yuzhang's strength is just a bluff to buy time for himself to gain a foothold in Nankang!"
Many generals and officers nodded in agreement. He Wuji had a look of pride on his face and said in a deep voice: "And we didn't leave any ships in Nankang. It was just in case, no matter what.
It gave the enemy the possibility of using the fleet to go straight to Yuzhang after a sneak attack on Nankang, so all the warships in Jiangzhou were concentrated in the Yuzhang area. Now it seems that this decision is very correct. Even if the enemy has an army of tens of thousands,
It is very difficult to transport the food by land, so we can only travel by water and land, and when they were building warships, our people here and in Jingzhou had already made preparations to form a crusade army."
Wang Hong said thoughtfully: "According to your opinion, Zhennan, since the enemy does not have the ability to take advantage of the victory to attack Yuzhang, why should they take the initiative to fight this battle?"
He Wuji's eyes sparkled and he said in a deep voice: "You all can't look at this battle from the overall perspective, from the perspective of the world. You can only see this small Nankang, and at most this Jiangzhou, but I and Yao
The thieves have fought against each other for many years, and we know that they are not that simple. When the army in Wu was raised, eight counties were captured in succession. Even if it involves the whole body, it is not just a small Kuaiji County."
Zhang Shao said seriously: "The meaning of Zhennan is that the Tianshi Dao rebellion was carefully planned by that Tiandao Alliance. Even Huan Xuan took the opportunity to invade Jiankang, and Murong De of Nanyan also sent troops to attack Jin at the same time.
Together?"
He Wuji said in a deep voice: "We only had suspicions before, but this time the black robe from the Tiandao Alliance took the initiative to admit that those things in the past can finally be connected together. The Tianshi Dao is not that strong, and the standing
The Tiandao Alliance in the shadows is capable of causing trouble in the world, and their help is by no means limited to Tianshi Dao. This is the case this time. Qiao Shu sent troops directly to Baidi, and Huan Qian led the Longyou cavalry to fight back to Jingzhou.
, coupled with Sima Guofan's rebellion in northern Henan, Tianshi Dao sent troops to raid Nankang at this time, these places were launched at the same time, with only one purpose, which was to create chaos within the Jin Dynasty and force slaves to send slaves, as Heipao said
retreat!"
Wang Hong clapped his hands suddenly: "Oh, this is really what Zhennan analyzed. It seems that all parties are coming together, but in fact they want to create chaos within Dajin. Now is the critical time for the commander to attack Guanggu. If
If the country is unstable, it will be forced to retreat. If you retreat, all your previous efforts will be wasted. The Qilu land that was finally captured will fall into the hands of Nanyan again. This is a pity!"
He Wuji stood up abruptly, with a stern look on his face: "Yu Gong, I am the general of the country, the governor of one side, and have the responsibility of guarding the land to protect the country and the people. For private purposes, I am the life and death brother of the slaves, and a member of the Eighth Party of Beijing."
The three giants are also the brothers of those soldiers who died in the battle. Superior, now Nankang is attacked by demon thieves. No matter what, I have the responsibility to defend Jiangzhou and recapture Nankang. If I am afraid of the enemy here and miss the opportunity to fight,
Then the Lu Xunhui army in Guangzhou will follow, and the rebels and bandits from all over Jiangzhou will join them. At that time, it will be difficult for us to fight."
"While the navy's warships are still in our hands, we can take the initiative to advance on land and water and attack Nankang. While the enemy has not yet established a foothold in Nankang and has insufficient troops, we can defeat Xu Daofu first. At least
Drive him back to Lingnan and block the Wuling Pass, so that Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou will be safe."
"As long as the south is peaceful, Qiaoshu and Huanqian's troops will not be a concern. After Xiele defeated Sima Guofan, it will not be difficult for him to continue the Northern Expedition or join me here to march to Lingnan and eliminate the demon thieves.
, In this way, the situation in the Jin Dynasty can be turned from danger to safety, and only by sending slaves can we have no worries and conquer Guanggu with peace of mind. Dear generals and lieutenants, the country is in trouble, and it is our duty to raise troops for a thousand days and serve the country for a while. Come and take my
