Chapter 4109 Rebuilding the Army to Guard Jiangling
Lu Gui gritted his teeth and still shook his head in disbelief, but his heart was already shaking, because he could no longer come up with arguments to refute it like he did before. He just instinctively expressed his unwillingness to accept such a result.
That's all.
Liu Daogui sighed: "We must prepare for the worst, and we must also prepare for troops. Even if Brother Xile is defeated, Yuzhou falls, and the monsters attack Jiankang, or even attack Brother Jinu before he returns to the army.
Even if we go to Jiankang, we must not lose confidence. Jingzhou is still in our hands, and the land north of the Yangtze River and south of Yan is also in our hands. If we stabilize our position, we can still fight back."
When he said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and there was a commanding majesty, which was self-evident. Everyone stood up straight unconsciously and maintained the same state as when they accepted the order. Even Zhu Chaoshi, who was sitting on the ground, stood up straight.
, couldn't help but stand up with Jin Fu's help. This was almost his instinct after many years in the army.
Liu Daogui looked around and said in a deep voice: "The generals will listen to the order and return to the camp immediately to count the losses of this battle. As for the gains, we will record the military records and then evaluate the rewards later. Within one day, we will be ready for the expedition.
Within this day, I will definitely get the battle report ahead. If Brother Xile is not moved by the demon thieves and continues to hold the line and the two armies are in a stalemate, then we will attack Changsha County as planned. When the two fleets of the demon thieves arrive,
When the time comes, we will choose the opportunity to engage in a decisive battle. According to today’s tactics, we will attack the two giant ships with fire.”
Everyone shouted in unison: "I have the order!"
Liu Daogui nodded and continued: "If the country is really unlucky, as we just analyzed, Xilege is defeated, Yuzhou falls, or even Jiankang falls, then we have to change our fighting style and route. We cannot start from
Dajiang is attacking the monster bandits, but we have to go from the north, detour around Yongzhou and Jiangxia, open up the northwestern region of Henan and Yanzhou, get in touch with the areas north of Jiangbei and southern Yan, first contact Brother Jinu, and then plan to counterattack south of the Yangtze River."
Everyone was in awe. Under such circumstances, Liu Daogui's decision was so calm and correct. No matter what the situation, he made the right choice. He was truly worthy of being a general. Everyone's faces and eyes sparkled.
With a light of admiration, they all responded in unison: "Yes!"
Liu Daogui looked at Lu Gui: "In the latter case, we need to send troops from Yongzhou to open up the connection with the northeast. Later Qin may also make some changes if it learns that Xi Lege was defeated. We must be on guard. You and
Your commander-in-chief needs to make preparations as soon as possible and return to Yongzhou. Jiangling is temporarily peaceful. If it is the former situation, then you and your son will lead the Yongzhou soldiers and horses across the river to sweep Changsha, Yueyang and other places, while I will lead the Jingzhou soldiers and horses eastward to encircle
The main force of demon thieves."
Lu Gui laughed: "I still hope that the former situation will give us the opportunity to attack the demon thief's lair in Guangzhou. When Huanxuan came to Beijing, my father also led troops to fight against the demon thief. Many of my children
The uncles who took me to play all died tragically at the hands of demon thieves, and I don’t want to let go of this opportunity for revenge this time.”
Liu Daogui nodded: "I guarantee that no matter what the situation is, you Lu family father and son will definitely have the opportunity to fight against the monsters and thieves. Go back early and prepare for Jiangling's defense..."
Having said this, he looked at Zhu Chaoshi: "Little Shitou, I leave it to you, are you up to the task?"
Everyone's expressions changed, and even Lu Gui's smile froze on his face. Although Zhu Chaoshi had just explained what he had done in the past year, he had also made a great contribution today to clear himself of the suspicion of traitor.
.
But no matter what, after all, he has been in the enemy camp for a year. In his own words, his hands are stained with the blood of a lot of Jin army brothers and Jin officials. Strictly speaking, he is still a sinner.
Liu Yu would have to be imprisoned in prison until the imperial court formally pardoned him.
Even if he is not imprisoned, it is inappropriate to let Zhu Chaoshi take charge of the army as a general. Not to mention, Liu Daogui directly wants to hand over the defense of Jiangling City and the administration of Jingzhou County to him. Even the many generals present are keeping a close eye on him.
This position is hard to come by.
Zhu Chaoshi himself frowned deeply and waved his hands repeatedly: "You can't do it, Brother Daogui, you can't do it. I have sinned so much. If you don't kill me, you are already grateful. How can you let me be a general again? Not to mention.
Such an important position as Jiangling city defense is related to the foundation of Jingzhou. If I am appointed as the general, I am afraid that the people of Jingzhou will be dissatisfied and may even have dissatisfaction."
Liu Daogui said calmly: "I will explain to the common people and powerful people in Jingzhou, what you have experienced this year, I will also announce it to the world, let everyone know that you are not a traitor, trapped in the enemy camp, and endured the humiliation for revenge."
, and finally succeeded in accomplishing great feats, annihilating the enemy fleet, the merits have long been greater than the deeds. Our Beifu Army, our Jin Dynasty, have clear rewards and punishments. If you fell into Nankang at that time, and just escaped back, you would be punished for defeat, or even beheaded.
It’s not an exaggeration. But this time, you have made great achievements, so I have to reward you."
"Every general has his own army. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to divide the troops and let you rebuild the army. Your old army now only has Jin Fu and a dozen brothers left. It's impossible to give you this small number of troops.
Establish more than one army. Therefore, I will give you the 2,000 Chinese troops under my personal command. The non-Tianshidao old thieves captured in this battle include the former Jin army and the rebellious Jiangzhou and Jingnan
Common people, if you want to stay and join us, I will leave it to your command. In addition to the two thousand men recently recruited and trained in Jingzhou, there should be about 10,000 men left to you to defend Jiangling."
Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth: "It's not appropriate for you to use the demon thieves captured in this battle as the main force for me to build an army. Even if I have always been loyal to the Jin Dynasty, I can't guarantee that all of them will be loyal."
Liu Daogui said in a deep voice: "I said that all the prisoners in this battle, the old thieves of Sanwu, will be killed to frighten the others, and then let them go back. With the ruthlessness and cruelty of the demon thieves, most of them will come back after surrendering.
They killed them directly, or even ate their flesh raw, to frighten other people, so most of them did not dare to go back. Either they took the travel expenses to go home, or they stayed with us and sincerely submitted to us, especially the Jin army who had been captured before
I think most of the soldiers will choose to stay. After this experience in the demon thief camp, they should also understand that if they have different intentions again, they will only die faster and more miserably."
"Even if there are some individuals who want to stay in our army and secretly communicate with the demon thieves, they are just individuals after all. We have enough loyal warriors to discover their intentions. Moreover, with you as general, I am not afraid of such a thing happening.
, Little Shitou, couldn’t you discover even these things with your ability to run an army? If you were in the demon thief camp at that time and someone suggested a series of giant ships or something like this, you would have known that this person was trying to cause harm.
