Yu Yue, dressed in leather armor, dressed like an ordinary sergeant, stood side by side with Zhu Chaoshi, dressed in a black suit, leaning against the water, and dressed as a boatman and sailor. The two stood on the beach, looking at the river rolling eastward, and the beach a few hundred steps away. On the reef, fragments of some ships can be vaguely seen, a few waves are coming, and occasionally some broken wood and floating barrels are looming, reminding people that not long ago, this was a battlefield.
Zhu Chaoshi sighed softly: "Yugong, I haven't seen you for more than two years. You have become darker and lost a lot of weight. I guess this year's military career is something you have never experienced in all the years before."
Yu Yue nodded: "More than two years ago, if someone had told me that they would continue to fight in the army in the past two years, from Jiankang to Guanggu, and then from Guanggu to Jiangzhou, I would definitely You would think he was crazy. However, these wars have also trained me. Now, I finally know what fighting is like. Moreover, for more than half a year, as the coach, I personally led an army and fought guerrillas behind enemy lines for half a year. , it can be said to be life and death, this feeling is completely different."
Having said this, Yu Yue looked at Zhu Chaoshi: "There was a time when I even thought that you and I would be incompatible with each other, but I didn't expect that you were in the bandit camp and your heart was in Jin. I misunderstood you, General Zhu. . ”
Zhu Chaoshi said calmly: "I was wounded and captured. I should have died to show my true feelings, but other comrades and comrades protected me with their lives. They died in my hands just to let me live." , so that I can be useful and serve the country by killing thieves. That period was also the most unforgettable period in my life. I don’t even know how I survived. Fortunately, I lived up to their expectations in the end."
There was a look of disapproval on the corner of Yu Yue's mouth, and he suddenly changed his smile: "This must be attributed to General Xiao Zhu, who is firm-willed and able to endure, and did not let the monster thieves see any flaws. Moreover, your use of troops Yes, it is higher than all the enemy generals. They will not use you, which gives you a chance. You can destroy the demon thief fleet in one battle in the Battle of Jiangling."
Zhu Chaoshi said calmly: "The main reason is that Brother Daogui's command is strong and the soldiers of the three armies are responsible for their lives. I didn't do too much here. I did too much and it was too obvious. The enemy could also see the flaws. Therefore, I was just Just act according to the situation. By the way, Yu Gong, how many troops, horses, and provisions do you have now, and where are they stored?"
Yu Yue was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "There are now fifty thousand troops in Jiangzhou who are under my orders. They are scattered all over Jiangzhou. Uh, I mean they have accepted the titles and orders of the Jin Dynasty and are loyal to the army. Of course, some people in Dajin are forced by the situation and are still using the banner of demon thieves. However, please believe me, they have seen the defeat of demon thieves and are waiting for the opportunity to completely change their banner, just like... ………”
Zhu Chaoshi frowned and waved his hand to stop Yu Yue from boasting: "What I'm asking is, how many troops can be controlled and fought by Yu Gong himself?"
Yu Yue's expression became a little unnatural: "Well, there are about 15,000 people directly under my command, and they are all..."
Zhu Chaoshi's face darkened: "But this time the troops brought by Yu Gong to join forces only totaled 3,873 people, and they were all in the military camp on the shore. How can we explain this?"
Yu Yue smiled slightly: "It's impossible for me to take all the troops with me. The captured counties must be garrisoned, and some of my ordnance and food must be hidden in secret mountain bases. We also need to divide our troops.
Guard, in addition, I also sent three groups of troops to attack several prefectures and counties. Together, there are three to four thousand people."
Zhu Chaoshi said coldly: "Even according to your statement, there are only more than 7,000 people in total, which is quite different from the 15,000 troops you mentioned."
Yu Yue sighed: "General Xiao Zhu, don't be so serious. When fighting, you always have to show your strength. You want your own strength to appear more and the enemy's to appear less. When your master Jingkou Jiankang was in power, he obviously had only
There are more than 1,000 people but less than 2,000, but they are said to have 50,000 elite soldiers. I also learned this from him."
Zhu Chaoshi couldn't laugh or cry: "My master claimed to be fifty thousand to the enemy, but he didn't deceive his own people as well. Mr. Yu, I need to know your true strength here before I can make the next plan. You can do the same to me."
It is said that this will affect my military choices and even make wrong decisions."
Yu Yue's expression changed slightly: "What's your next plan? Aren't you here to assist me? Just follow my orders and arrangements. I don't need General Xiao Zhu to make your own decisions."
Zhu Chaoshi calmly took out a token from his arms and handed it to Yu Yue: "Can Mr. Yu recognize this token?"
Yu Yue took the token, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and handed the token back to Zhu Chaoshi: "This is the token of General Liu Daogui who conquered the West. I recognize it. When I see this token, if
Meet Liu Zhengxi himself. General Xiao Zhu, congratulations. With this token, you can do whatever you want within Jingzhou. However, this seems to have nothing to do with me. I am a member of Liu Yi's regiment, the governor of Yuzhou.
, my boss is Liu Yi."
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly: "Yu Gong, maybe when you were under General Liu Yi, you didn't know that the expedition to the west had been authorized by the direction of Jiankang, and he was allowed to command the military affairs of Jing, Yong, Jiang, and Guang, and control the military affairs of the four states.
The army has the right to do whatever it takes. Where are we standing now?"
Cold sweat began to break out on Yu Yue's head: "What do you mean, Liu Zhengxi, Liu Jingzhou, he wants me to obey his orders, or even, even asks you to replace me?"
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "Now we are in Jiangzhou. All the Jin armies in Jiangzhou will be under the jurisdiction of Liu Zhengxi. He can appoint, dismiss or control any army. Yu Gong, congratulations, you recruited
Fifty thousand troops, if they were in Jiangzhou, they would all obey Liu Zhengxi's orders, and he will never forget your great contribution."
Yu Yue gritted her teeth: "But the order Liu Zhengxi gave me did not mention this, nor did it say that I would be under your command. If I had known earlier..."
Zhu Chaoshi smiled and said: "If you had known that I would take over the command, you would not have come to join us. Just like in the past six months, Liu Zhengxi called you many times, but you refused to come, right? Mr. Yu."
Yu Yue breathed out bitterly from her nostrils and muttered: "They all say that Liu Zhengxi keeps his promises and keeps his word, but I didn't expect..."
