Liu Daogui, dressed in military uniform, was sitting behind a major case with a solemn look on his face, while a group of civil and military officials from Jingzhou were lined up on both sides, each with a clouded face. Deng Qianzhi looked at a wooden box placed in the hall, containing
He Wuji's head was still full of anger, and his expression remained the same as when he died in battle. He couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and cried loudly: "Zhennan, Zhennan!"
Liu Daogui stood up, with a solemn expression, and gave a solemn military salute to He Wuji's head. The civil and military officers on both sides also followed suit. After the salute, Liu Daogui said in a deep voice: "General Zhennan, brother Wuji, you have not yet achieved your great ambitions."
Hui, passed away first. As a brother and a comrade-in-arms, I am deeply saddened. I can only inherit your legacy, destroy the monsters and thieves, and avenge you and all the heroic spirits who died in the battle!"
Everyone said in unison: "Why, general, do you want to avenge the soldiers who died in battle!"
Liu Daogui returned to his seat. The guards had already taken away He Wuji's head. Deng Qianzhi said angrily: "That guy who sent back He Zhennan's head should be beheaded to honor the general's heroic spirit!"
"
Liu Daogui sighed: "He is a surrendered pawn of Nankang. Killing him will not help. The demon thief returns General He's head like this. If we direct our anger on such a pawn, it will appear that we have lost our dignity and give it to that pawn."
Let him go home with a little reward."
Tan Zhi, who was standing first on the left, said in a deep voice: "The demon thieves are demonstrating against us and want to scare us away from fighting. Now Lu Xun's army is sweeping through southern Hunan, and Xu Daofu is leading troops to attack various places in Jiangzhou. The latest
According to the military report, General Xie Bao defended Yuzhang for ten months, but finally the city was defeated due to a small number of soldiers. He died in the battle, as well as the 500 defenders in the city. What a shame for Wei Shunzhi, who had thousands of troops to defend Yiyang.
, but he refused to save him and did not even have the courage to fight Xu Daofu. Wei Yongzhi is such a hero, how could he have such a cowardly brother?"
Liu Daogui sighed softly: "Shunzhi was once a warrior who was in danger of death. Perhaps after becoming an official and becoming rich, he became greedy for life and afraid of death. You can't tell it at ordinary times. In such a life-and-death situation,
, compared with General Xie Bao, and making judgments, my eldest brother will not forgive him just because he is a hero."
Tan Daoji beside Tan Zhuan sighed: "General Xie defended Yuzhang to cover the retreat of Zhang Shao's army and Yin Chan's army. Deng Changshi, the three of you finally broke out of the encirclement that day and went to Yuzhang and Lai separately.
Here we report on the battle situation at the front. Now Zhang and Yin have joined the army and escaped again, and Wang Hong and Wang Changshi who stayed in Yuzhang have also successfully evacuated. It is a blessing among misfortunes."
Deng Qianzhi's voice began to choke: "We should have died in the battle in Sangluozhou at that time. Every time I think about the battle that day, it makes me miserable. Liu Governor, please give the order. This time I would rather be a pawn, charging into the battle, or die."
born."
Liu Daogui shook his head: "I am deeply honored by your willingness to kill thieves. It is really rare for everyone to still have such morale and fighting spirit in such a time of repeated failures. With such momentum, we will definitely be able to get through this moment.
We are facing difficulties, but enthusiasm alone cannot win the battle. The current situation is extremely serious, and what we are facing is not just a monster and thief."
Hu Zhi, the Sima King of Jingzhou, standing first on the right, is a scribe in his forties, thin and stern. He is also a descendant of the Langya Wang family, but he is closely related to the Wang Xizhi family of Wang Miaoyin's lineage.
Far. Different from ordinary children of aristocratic families, this Wang Huzhi has always had a reputation for being virtuous and upright, and he once impeached Wang Yu, a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family who was once rampant, and was the Wang Guobao who later helped Liu Yu destroy the family and establish his power.
His brother was expelled, demoted and exiled to Jingzhou.
When Huanxuan was defeated, Wang Huzhi sided with the Jin army and dispersed his family wealth. The family members formed a militia to coordinate Liu Yi's Western Expedition. They fought with Huanxuan's subordinate Fu Hong, the former Qin prince.
After years of fierce fighting, five of his brothers and sons died on the battlefield, and finally victory was achieved. Due to his hard work, he was promoted to the governor of Jing and became the number one civil servant under Liu Daogui.
Wang Huzhi frowned and said, "Liu Jingzhou is right. The bad news we just received is that Baidi City has fallen. The pressure on our west has increased a lot."
Tan Zhuan stamped her foot bitterly: "Damn it, if I could rescue Baidi City according to the original plan, how could it fall into the hands of Shu thieves?! What happened to General Wen and General Shi?"
Wang Huzhi shook his head: "Both generals died in battle and martyred their country. After Qiao Daofu captured Baidi City, the Shu thieves became so arrogant that they threatened to send the boat division down the river to capture Jiangling. On the other hand, Huan Qian was on the other side.
, sent Gou Lin's cavalry across the river to join Lu Xun, and he himself gathered the remnants of the Huan family in various places in Jingzhou. Now there are many thieves from various places who have raised troops to respond to him, such as Guo Jisheng in Tang Dynasty, who gathered thousands of people to cause rebellion. In response,
Lu Xun. Before we have a decisive battle with Lu Xun, I’m afraid we have to wipe out these thieves from various places first.”
Tan Daoji said in a deep voice: "Guo Jisheng is the grandson of the former Huanchu general Guo Quan. When Huanchu was destroyed, Guo Quan surrendered, but his descendants still have people who are restless and guarding themselves. This Guo Jisheng is a typical example.
He usually tolerates it, but in troubled times like this, he takes the opportunity to rebel, but those who follow him are just a bunch of mobs. As long as you give me two thousand soldiers and horses, I can bring him to justice within three days!"
Liu Daogui nodded: "Very good, then I will give you three thousand troops to eliminate Guo Jisheng within three days. We will use this battle to declare to the powerful people in Jingzhou that this Jingzhou is still the Jingzhou of the Jin Dynasty. If
If anyone has evil intentions and wants to surrender to the enemy, Guo Jisheng will be punished!"
Tan Zhuan gritted his teeth: "These are just petty thieves. The enemy is still relying on Lu Xun's old thieves. Even Huan Qian just borrowed some soldiers and horses from the Later Qin Dynasty to cause chaos. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Originally we wanted to defend the city through Jiangling, killing and consuming a large number of Lu Xun's rebel troops, but instead of attacking Jiangling, he turned his entire army to march eastward and went down the river. It seemed that he was going to
Go to Jiankang. If the two thieves are allowed to join together, I'm afraid something bad will happen. You have tens of thousands of troops in Liu Jingzhou. Just sitting back and watching the enemy troops go away is not the behavior of a high official in the border area. I think you should send a large army to pursue the monsters.
The thief is the one."
Dao Yanzhi, who was standing third from the left, clapped his palms excitedly: "Tan Wuling (Tan Zhuan's current official is Wuling Naishi) said it so well. The demon thieves seem to be in great momentum, but their strength is not
They are so strong, especially now that they are dividing their forces, which is a taboo. The purpose of sending back He Zhennan's head is just to scare our army. We cannot let them succeed, so we should pursue them quickly!"
