Zhu Chaoshi's eyes were shining, and he didn't know where the strength came from, making him sit up straight and full of energy: "And you are the only one who has seen that my master will not let you go. Even if he can let you go for a while, what will happen?"
A general like Wuji who strongly wants to make meritorious deeds will take the initiative to attack him. Instead of waiting for others to destroy him, it is better to strike first. This raid plan is perfect. As a soldier, I can only write one
I'm very impressed. But this is your victory, Commander-in-Chief, but it is the disastrous defeat of Master Lu!"
Xu Daofu gritted his teeth: "Although I have differences of opinion with Senior Brother Lu, it is not to the point of fighting each other to the death. Even Liu Yu and Liu Yi of your Beifu Army have defended themselves on major matters.
Are you being friendly on the face of it? When Liu Yu went on the Northern Expedition to attack Southern Yan, Liu Yi didn't cause trouble, right? He also did a good job of protecting the rear. It's just the other way around here. I attack mainly, and Senior Brother Lu follows up from the rear. Is this the case?
Is this called internal strife?"
Zhu Chaoshi shook his head: "It's different. On the surface, the direction of this attack is a military choice. In fact, it depends on who has the final say in the religion. Liu Yi can go to the west because my master allows him to go west, but this
This time he also wanted to attack Nanyan from the north, but my master did not allow it and always wanted to suppress him. In the Beifu army, it was my master who had the final say. He could give Liu Yi face or not. This priority relationship is very obvious.
"
"But in the divine religion, Lu Xun cannot do this. Commander Xu, you can decide offensive and defensive matters on your own, and you can also decide the direction of attack. He can't even impose any punishment on you. It can be said that your status in the religion and the military
The reputation in Jiangzhou is no longer inferior to his. The troops that raided Jiangzhou this time, except for Lu Lanxiang's troops, are completely under your orders, including those stragglers from all over Jiangzhou. As you win one after another, this
The expansion speed of this force will become faster and faster. If Lu Xun follows you, he can only eat some scraps and recruit some old, weak, sick and disabled. Without going to Jiankang City, the actual army you control will be far away.
Far more than him, and these newly attached people have no religious beliefs. If the family really wants to be separated or the owner changes, it is self-evident whose side they will side with."
Xu Daofu sneered and said: "I'm not trying to pull a team to seize the position of the leader. To be honest, I am very annoyed by those rituals and sermons, and I don't want to worry about them. The leader asked Senior Brother Lu to do a good job."
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly: "But what if Leader Lu doesn't want you to continue to command the army? What if he doesn't want you to fight with peace of mind? Can you still be so free and easy?"
These words suddenly reached Xu Daofu's heart. His face darkened and he did not reply.
Zhu Chaoshi sighed: "Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are fights. This is inevitable everywhere. It is the same with the Beifu Army, and it is the same with the Divine Religion. If you are Lu Xun's good brother-in-law and a real family member, treat him
If you obey his instructions and know how to give him the greatest credit, then he may let you continue to manage the army. But in fact, your relationship is not as good as it seems from the outside. Just like with Lu Lanxiang, you are just with him.
She was just a couple on the surface, in order to maintain the alliance between Lu Xun and Lu Xun in the church. In fact, this relationship had ended with the death of leader Sun Ensun and Lu Xun taking the position of leader. In the past,
You have joined forces to seize the power of the divine religion. Now that you have the power, your biggest opponents are each other."
Xu Daofu gritted his teeth: "So, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to fall out with Senior Brother Lu and seize his position as leader? Why didn't you persuade your master to kill Liu Yi in the Beifu Army?
Got fired?"
Zhu Chaoshi said calmly: "If my master had Liu Yi's status in the Jin Dynasty, and Liu Yi suppressed my master at every turn, then maybe I would also persuade him to fight. If Lu Xun wants to attack Jingzhou, he must fight with you.
It's just a matter of claiming credit. If you conquer Jiangzhou, he, as the leader, will lead more troops to conquer Jingzhou. It seems that he can beat you in terms of credit. And in this way, he will have an excuse to say that his troops are not enough, even Lu Lanxiang's
All the subordinates have been transferred back, let alone support you. With your current strength, Marshal Xu, two to three thousand troops and horses of the headquarters, plus at most more than ten thousand surrendered troops and newly attached troops and horses here in Jiangzhou, you will not
If there is another opportunity to sneak attack Liu Yi's Yuzhou, even if Liu Yi attacks with all his strength at this time, it will be difficult for you to stop him!"
The pupils in Xu Daofu's eyes shrank suddenly. Obviously, Zhu Chaoshi hit the point that he was most worried about. He sighed: "So far, do you have any good ideas? I'll tell you the truth, in just half an hour
Some time ago, I just received a message from Senior Brother Lu, asking me to consolidate Jiangzhou and stop advancing rashly, or it would be best to lead troops in person to join him and jointly capture Jiangling and capture Jingzhou. How do you think I should reply?
"
Zhu Chaoshi's heart was clear. From the perspective of Tianshi Dao, it was obvious that seizing Jiankang was the most risky but also the most profitable option. He Wuji had suffered a new defeat, and Liu Yi had not completed all the war mobilization, and even the previous
A few days ago, I heard that Liu Yi was seriously ill and was unable to take action, which affected He Wuji's request for him to send troops to assist. If Xu Daofu could be allowed to return to Jingzhou at this time, Liu Daogui would be under greater pressure.
A lot, but at least Yuzhou and Jiankang are temporarily safe, leaving enough time for the master to return to the army to put down the rebellion after destroying Nanyan.
However, after analyzing so much just now, I have actually agreed with Xu Daofu's style of play. If I want to persuade him to return to Jingzhou, it will be contradictory. The only solution now may be a good opportunity for me. If
If the two major thieves of Tianshi Dao can be divided into two groups, and each can do his own thing, and then find a way to secretly help Liu Yi defeat Xu Daofu in one fell swoop, then maybe the chaos can be put down without waiting for the master to return to the army.
Thinking of this, Zhu Chaoshi shook his head and said: "I just said that Lu Xun's attack on Jingzhou was just to establish and consolidate his personal prestige and compete with you, Marshal Xu, for credit. It was not for the benefit of the divine religion.
The choice, as a military consideration, is definitely to join forces and attack Jiankang, but now he is asking you to attack Jingzhou, which is absolutely unacceptable. The commander-in-chief should not ignore his orders. The so-called general will be outside
, Your Majesty's orders are not accepted, you should take advantage of this great victory and the Jin army is frightened, continue to move down the river and attack in the direction of Yuzhou. As long as Liu Yi can be defeated, the door to Jiankang will be opened, and Liu Yu may not even have time to return to the army."
Xu Daofu suddenly laughed: "Fight Liu Yi? Then tell me, what are my chances of winning in a head-to-head confrontation with Liu Yi's 20,000 to 30,000 Yuzhou Army, which is well-organized and has sufficient food and grass?"
