Chapter 3063: Liu Yi has no chance of winning alone
Zhu Chaoshi secretly thought that this might be a good opportunity to stop Xu Daofu from continuing to attack, so he said in a deep voice: "Commander Xu, does he know why He Wuji rushes to attack Lingnan this time?"
Xu Daofu laughed: "Ever since he became the general of Zhennan and stationed in Jiangzhou, hasn't he always regarded us as the primary target for elimination? In the past two years, he has sent countless agents to conduct reconnaissance, including you, Zhu Chaoshi.
, haven’t you also come to Shixing area to spy on the military situation? Don’t think I don’t know.”
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "But why didn't we fight before, but why did we send troops this time when most of the troops were not concentrated yet and dispersed to various villages to collect food?"
Xu Daofu's brows raised slightly: "I'm also quite surprised by these things. Could it be that they want to make a dangerous move to catch us by surprise?"
Zhu Chaoshi shook his head: "No, no, it's actually because Liu Yi wanted to go north to the Central Plains and seize Sizhou and Luoyang in the Later Qin Dynasty, so He Wuji became anxious and rushed to attack Lingnan first."
Xu Daofu was a little surprised: "Is this happening? Liu Yu went out to Yuzhou to attack rather than defend? But attacking the Central Plains will require an all-out war with the great power of Later Qin. Now Liu Yu is still attacking Guanggu, and he cannot conquer it for a long time. The Eastern Jin Dynasty
How can there be national strength to support two wars at the same time?”
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly: "What Liu Yi means is that Huan Qian and Qiao Shu invaded from both sides, and Sima Guofan obtained military supplies from the Later Qin Dynasty and pulled out thousands of desperadoes to cause rebellion in northern Yuzhou.
Qin's public military action against the Jin Dynasty, if it showed weakness, would only trigger further provocations from the Later Qin Dynasty, and even directly send the main force of the Qin army to attack. Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative, use the pretext of attacking Sima Guofan, and take advantage of the situation to pursue and enter the territory of the Later Qin Dynasty.
As for military food supplies, they can just rely on the domestic food reserves of Hou Qin. In his original words, Zu Ti only relied on 3,000 troops to capture the entire Central Plains area, and he had 30,000 elite soldiers. Isn't it better than before?
person?"
Xu Daofu said thoughtfully: "I still know what Liu Yi is capable of. He does have this ability. If he is determined to ignore the later Qin and attack the Central Plains of the later Qin with all his strength, he can really succeed.
After all, the troops of the Qin Army in the Central Plains are not the main force of the Qin State, and their combat effectiveness is average. They are difficult to defeat his Beifu veterans. But if the Qin State strengthens its walls and clears the country, and removes the grain and grass from several warehouses, then Liu Yu may be in a state of food shortage.
After a long time, I still can’t gain a foothold.”
Zhu Chaoshi shook his head: "According to Liu Yi's plan, he is to attack the Central Plains with Lu Zong, and then after occupying Luoyang, it would be best if there is food and grass from the Later Qin Dynasty. If not, then let Liu Daogui of Jingzhou transfer the food and grass supply army. After all, Luoyang
It is the old capital of the Jin Kingdom. There is no reason to give up after taking it back. Even if it is for the sake of righteousness, it must be defended. Therefore, in fact, Liu Yi is like you. On the surface, he is acting alone, but this kind of thing affects the overall situation.
, if we really hit the Central Plains, Liu Daogui will have no choice but to use the power of Jingzhou to protect him."
Xu Daofu sneered and said: "I know this guy Liu Yi very well. He talks about righteousness, but he is just trying to compete with Liu Yu for credit. Liu Yu destroyed Nanyan, captured Guanggu, and wiped out a Huru country. He was not to be outdone. Even if
After the Qin Dynasty could not be destroyed, it was still necessary to seize the Central Plains. The credit for recovering the old capital of the Jin Dynasty could be surpassed by Liu Yu's. Besides, Sima Guofan defected from Liu Yu's army and rebelled, so he could be regarded as a tribute to Liu Yu.
Wipe your butt, even if Liu Yu wants to have an attack, he has to think twice before acting. I have to say that this kid's palace is getting deeper and deeper."
Zhu Chaoshi said seriously: "He Wuji also rushed to attack Lingnan because he knew the news about Liu Yi's intention to expedition to the north. After all, if Liu Yi really started a fight, the manpower and material support from Jingzhou would definitely go to the Central Plains.
It is no longer possible to support He Wuji in the area. He Wuji wants to send troops to Lingnan first, so that Liu Daogui will follow up. With the combined strength of the two, they can quickly pacify the Shen Cult first, and then join forces to go north to support Liu Yi's Northern Expedition, or
It is no longer a delusion to march westward to Bashu, or even to go straight out of Wuguan to Guanzhong."
Xu Daofu curled up his lips: "But why did Liu Yi tell He Wuji such a big plan? For what purpose did he have, so he wasn't afraid that He Wuji would attack first?"
Zhu Chaoshi sighed: "I'm not too clear about the specific details, because it was a month ago that He Wuji summoned us to wait for the military meeting before showing Liu Yi's letter. It was probably because Liu Yi wanted to win over his colleagues.
He Wuji, the leader of the Big Three, showed his sincerity and asked him to prepare to protect his rear and not let the various rebels in Jiangzhou take advantage of the opportunity to attack his hometown in Yuzhou. Unexpectedly, Liu Yi went
After Yuzhou, I couldn't afford to fall ill, but He Wuji took the opportunity. I can only say that it's time and fate!"
Xu Daofu secretly thought in his heart, this damn thing is so dangerous. The god said that he had a way to control Liu Yi. This was probably the reason why he couldn't afford to fall ill. However, with Liu Yi's character, he would not always be like this.
Control, especially now that He Wuji has been defeated and died, and the Tianshi Taoist army is pointing directly at Yuzhou. If you don't get up to fight at this time, it is no different from committing suicide. You must not take chances anymore, and you must do well.
Preparations to face the all-out Liu Yi Army.
Thinking of this, Xu Daofu nodded: "In this way, Liu Yi has been fully prepared for the expedition. Even the troops and horses prepared for the Northern Expedition are far stronger than this in terms of combat effectiveness and food.
The second time is He Wuji. If I want to deal with him, I’m afraid I have little chance of winning. Is that what you mean?”
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "Yes, and in addition to Liu Yi, Zhuge Changmin and other troops from the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan also withdrew one by one and stationed troops in six counties in the north of the Yangtze River. If the army really attacks Liu Yi, these troops will also
Coming back to support, this defeat of He Wuji will definitely shock the entire Jin country. Even Liu Yu may give up attacking Nanyan and come back early. If Liu Yu and Liu Yi join forces, it will be difficult to conquer Jiankang.
."
Xu Daofu said coldly: "You also said that the chance of victory lies in seizing Jiankang quickly, and you also said that the chance of winning against Liu Yi is not good. So what exactly do you want me to do?"
Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth: "The chance of victory lies in attacking Jiankang quickly. This is from a military perspective, but now you are the only one on your way, Marshal Xu, who is not as strong as Liu Yi. This is also a military perspective. Of course, the soldiers are in danger, and everything is in danger."
It is possible, unless, unless Master Lu's troops are willing to come and join forces, concentrate the power of the entire Tianshi Dao, and attack only Liu Yi's legion before Liu Yu returns to the army, then there is a chance of victory. But we have analyzed it before
, it is impossible for Lu Xun to come to support you. After much thought, perhaps the only feasible way is for you to lead the main force to meet Lu Xun and obey his orders again."
