Lu turned around, looked at Xu Daofu, and gritted his teeth: "Daofu, have you forgotten what happened when Sun En was the leader? Especially the third landing, which has the best chance, we had a chance.
We can take advantage of Liu Laozhi's opportunity to divide his troops into various places and plunder everywhere, and take advantage of the insufficient and scattered Beifu army to eat them up in Wudi. Even if Liu Yu at that time had insufficient troops and was trapped in Haiyan, we could still
It is absolutely possible to wipe them out in one fell swoop. If you had followed the strategy I told you at that time and had eaten the Beifu army in Wu and eliminated Liu Yu, how would your subsequent failure have been avoided?"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Xu Daofu's face, he put away his smile, and said seriously: "Second brother, do you still blame me for insisting that Sun En lead his army to give up the entanglement with the Jin army in Wudi and attack Jiankang?"
Lu Xun said coldly: "I have always said that your style of play was too radical. Even though we clearly had the advantage, we put everything on the line and tried desperately to capture Jiankang. We defeated Emperor Jin Shiyue and
Hundreds of officials can also flee westward to Jingzhou. If we fail, we will lose all our foundations, which is not worth it."
"At that time, the Jin Dynasty had a strong enemy named Huanxuan in the west and was fighting us in the east. The Beifu Army was not based in Wu, but in Jingkou and Jiangbei. Wu was just a high-ranking family in Jiankang City.
Fundamentally, when Liu Laozhi himself led his troops, he looted and looted all the way, which was not fundamentally different from our behavior. He even used fighting with us as an excuse to stay in Wu for a long time to support the war.
, the idea of raising the bandits’ self-respect."
"As long as we don't fight with Liu Laozhi's main force, we can take advantage of him to divide his troops and plunder various places, or when Liu Yu leads a small number of troops to garrison a small town, we can eat up these small forces until Liu Laozhi has plundered enough here.
, when there is no oil and water in Wu, we will naturally withdraw our troops. At that time, the eight counties of Wu will become our territory. If we advance, we can capture Jiankang, and if we retreat, we can be self-reliant for a long time like Huan Xuan separatized Jingzhou."
Xu Daofu sighed: "These ideas of yours are based on the premise that Liu Laozhi is unwilling to take the initiative to fight with us. The problem is that Liu Laozhi is just a warlord under orders from the imperial court. He has never thought about truly
Suppressing the aristocratic family and becoming the dominant one. Wu land is the foundation of the aristocratic family. All their family property is here, how can they watch us dominate here?"
"The reason why I advised Sun En to go all the way north was because Liu Laozhi only wanted to continue plundering and searching for oil and water in the Wu region. At this time, Jiankang was empty and Jingkou was empty. Huanxuan wanted to go eastward, and the other soldiers of the Jin Dynasty
The horses are all concentrated in the Yuzhou area to defend Huan Xuan. I'm afraid such a good opportunity will never come again in the future. Liu Yu's kind of lone army rushing back to Jingkou to defend is something that is not as good as God's. Even now,
I still won’t regret my decision at that time. Second brother, you are too conservative in doing things. You don’t have the energy to move forward. This is not feasible in the art of war."
Lu Xun curled his lips and said, "The Art of War, Sun En's war strategy based on price, did he win? Our whole army went north, abandoned their families, only retained the soldiers, and rushed to Jingkou with the momentum of not returning to the rear. We didn't fall short.
Facts have proved that your suggestion is wrong. If I hadn't left some support personnel and food supplies on the Zhoushan Islands, we would have been completely wiped out in Yuzhou. Now we are facing the same situation again.
, Looking back, we can steadily capture Liu Daogui and capture Jingzhou. In this way, we can connect Qiaoshu to the west and the Later Qin Dynasty to the north. If we advance, we can attack Jiankang, and if we retreat, we can protect half of the country. Besides, if Doupeng becomes our ally, Liu Yu and the others will return.
Once we reach Jiankang, even if we want to march westward, it will be difficult to reach the sky."
"We clearly have an invincible strategy, so why do we have to put everything on the line? Now that we have indeed defeated Liu Yi, everyone's morale is high, and the nearby stragglers and Qiang clan will also come to join us.
We, but have you ever thought about it, now we have 70,000 to 80,000 troops, and the logistics supplies are just enough. If the number of people is doubled, but the logistics and food roads are constantly harassed by Liu Daogui, what if we attack Jiankang?
It’s difficult to capture it quickly, what will we do then?”
Xu Daofu laughed: "Second brother, don't forget, Liu Yi has been operating in Yuzhou and Yanzhou for many years, but he has prepared hundreds of thousands of troops, enough for three years of fighting. Just the military resources he brought out this time
, is enough for us to use for two years. If we continue to attack now and capture Liyang, even if all our retreats are cut off, it will be enough to sustain an army of 150,000 for three years. What's more, in the past year, Jiangzhou and
Jing Nanna
Here, all the powerful people who came to join us brought a lot of food and supplies."
"This time we attack Jiankang, as long as we have a clear target and only attack the Beifu army and the big Jiankang family, but protect the small and medium-sized families and the powerful Wu people, then the people who **** will be stronger than those who oppose us.
A lot more. When we started the army last time, weren't the powerful people of Wu also on our side? The Jin Kingdom of the Sima family has long lost the hearts of the people, and the noble families are not supported by the people. As long as we
The speed is fast enough to reach Jiankang before Liu Yu's army comes back. Then no matter how capable Liu Yu is, he will not be able to save Jin again this time. "
Lu Xun frowned: "There is Liu Daogui behind us. Do you think he will sit back and watch us attack Jiankang like this?"
Xu Daofu waved his hand nonchalantly: "As long as the news of Liu Yi's defeat reaches Jingzhou, Liu Daogui will also be panicked. He doesn't know whether we will turn around and kill him first. As long as we let Junior Brother Ying and Li Erbi
"My brother and his fleet will once again besiege Jiangling, and then they will send 30,000 to 40,000 troops from outside the Yangtze River who have recently joined us to attack Jiangling. Liu Daogui will certainly not dare to act rashly."
Lu Xunqi said: "It's not our direct line's main force attacking Jiangling. What does Liu Daogui have to be afraid of? If the whole army attacks like last time and defeats these besieging troops, won't they be able to pursue our rearguard troops?"
Xu Daofu laughed and said: "Soldiers are deceitful. The last time Liu Daogui dared to attack with his entire army, there was intelligence telling him that Liu Yi's army was attacking. The two of us joined forces to fight against Liu Yi, and only sent the navy.
The fleet blocked the river, so he dared to attack in large numbers. But this time it was different. Liu Yi's entire army was wiped out. The main force of our army could go down the river to attack Jiankang, or it could turn around and attack him. But to attack him, it is best
The best strategy is to lure him to attack and then eliminate them on the road. With the precedent of Liu Yi falling into our scheme this time and having his entire army wiped out, Liu Daogui definitely did not dare to attack because there were only some new vassals in front of him.
