Chapter 4498: Protecting the country and the people wins the hearts of the people
Tan Daoji breathed a long sigh of relief: "I thought your Daogui brother really regarded this boy as one of his own and was not on guard."
Liu Daogui said calmly: "After all, he has cooperated with Liu Tingyun. I don't have time to find out these things now, but I will find out later. Even if I don't go to check, someone will come to check. However, since he has annexed his army
, to seize the servants he brought from Wu, at least he must have the trust of face. When Lu Zong came with Yongzhou soldiers and horses, and it was difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends, I also entrusted Jiangling to him.
Here in Yuyue, there are some things that everyone knows about the deployment of troops and horses, so why should we not report them."
Tan Daoji curled up his lips: "You won't tell him about the beacon tower, right?"
Liu Daogui laughed: "The beacon tower was built by Guan Yu back then. If you sue him, you can sue him. But the secret smoke points we built ourselves are places where the beacon firewood is laid out and signals can be broadcast at any time. I didn't say anything.
.There are also more than thirty villages from Wulin to Jiangling, where fast horses are used to deliver messages, but he was not told."
Tan Daoji laughed: "I misunderstood Brother Daogui. In this case, I have nothing to worry about. However, this time you let Xiao Shitou go to Jiangzhou and didn't let me destroy Yingjiu, my old rival. I
I’m still a little bit upset.”
Liu Daogui shook his head: "If you two leave, then who will defend the city? I have told you a long time ago. Xiao Shitou has been in Jiangzhou for many years. He has knowledge of Jiangzhou's topography and intelligence connections.
He is more familiar with the matter than you, so I asked him to go back to Jiangzhou this time. I'm afraid you won't have the chance to make meritorious deeds while you're here."
Tan Daoji curled his lips and said: "Actually, I think that our warships patrol the river every day, even as far as Xunyang, but they haven't seen a large fleet of enemy ships. Even if the enemy has a main force following Na Ying
After the correction, we must have come by land and not by water. Are we being a little too cautious?"
Liu Daogui said sternly: "Daoji, don't be careless. You have to know that the defense problem in Jiangling's Shuicheng direction is not big, but the biggest weakness lies in the land direction. If the enemy lands from Wulin, they can kill it within three days."
At the foot of Jiangling City, we didn’t even have time to consolidate the city’s defenses and evacuate the residents.”
Tan Daoji said disapprovingly: "If you had listened to me earlier and demolished the houses in the north and east of the city now, evacuated the people, implemented militarized management in the city, and expelled the old, weak, women and children in the city, naturally there would be no need for these arrangements.
If monsters and thieves come, we will directly enter the city to defend and wait for reinforcements. There are currently more than 200,000 people in the city, of which 130,000 to 134,000 are old, weak, women and children without the ability to fight. If we really want to defend the city, we will not be able to provide any help except a waste of food.
.”
Liu Daogui sighed: "Daoji, your military talents are rare in the world, but this kind of thinking really makes me very disappointed. These more than 200,000 Jiangling elders are the common people who have lived here for generations.
It is the parents who provide us with food and clothing, and we, as soldiers of the Jin Dynasty, need to protect the people. If we are to expel them from the city and let them fend for themselves without even seeing the enemy, please let these people live in the city.
How do people who don't even have land elsewhere make a living? What do you think of their young men and the soldiers of Jingzhou who are in our army? When expelling these people, you also deprive me of what I have finally gained in Jingzhou in the past few years.
Their hearts have been expelled."
Tan Daoji's face turned slightly red: "This, this is something I took for granted, Brother Daogui, I'm sorry."
Liu Daogui said seriously: "Daoji, you must remember that as a general, you must first have a heart of benevolence. This benevolence is not only for your own soldiers, but also for ordinary people. We are soldiers and we must protect our families."
Weiguo, what is a country? A country is not only a territory and city, but also every citizen living in this territory. If we can’t protect even the people and the citizens, then what’s the use of having land?”
Tan Daoji's face became redder and redder, and his voice became lowered: "Brother Dao Gui taught me that I, Tan Daoji, also come from a poor family. I am a child from a poor family. I have been in the military for these years. I am a little forgetful and don't know where I am."
Yes, I will definitely make more corrections."
Liu Daogui sighed and his expression softened slightly: "Daoji, we cannot expel the people in the city at this time just to defend the city. If the enemy is really attacking, then it is for their own good to let them leave. After all, this is
If you stay in the city under such circumstances, if the city is destroyed, you will be destroyed. If you escape from the city early, you can still save your life. But the enemy has not appeared yet, and Wulindu is still in our hands. In this case, we cannot just leave it like this.
The people were driven out and their daily lives were disrupted."
At this point, Liu Daogui paused: "If the enemy troops really landed from Wulindu or from the direction of the Public Security Bureau, then we would have to go out to the Ma Tou Camp, firstly to block the enemy troops, and secondly, to help Jiangling
The people in the city strive for time to escape and evacuate. Jiangling City is so big that it is impossible to fortify everywhere. If we only shrink the inner city, then the people in the outer city will be completely exposed to the enemy, and they will definitely be massacred or bullied, or even
They were killing, raping, and humiliating people under the city walls to shake the morale of our army."
Having said this, Liu Daogui closed his eyes, and a line of clear tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. This man, who bleeds but does not shed tears, thought of the past, and his voice began to choke: "Back then, we defended the sentence together with the eldest brother, Haiyan
When I was a child, I had seen with my own eyes the madness and cruelty of demon thieves. They could not attack the city, so they captured the people in the surrounding villages and the families of the soldiers who defended the city, and humiliated us crazily under the city to provoke us to fight.
, We must never let something like this happen again. We would rather bleed more ourselves, but also protect the people of Jingzhou. This is what we must do when we wear this military uniform and eat this bowl of military rations."
Tan Daoji looked stern when he heard this, and said loudly: "Brother Daogui, don't worry, as long as I, Tan Daoji, am alive, I will defend Jiangling to the death and protect the people of the whole city."
At this point, he paused: "Also, Brother Daogui, while the enemy troops are not here, do you think I can bring three to five thousand soldiers and horses to cross the river quickly to cooperate with my third brother Tan Zhi?"
Wuling soldiers and horses, will they capture the enemy's Changsha City?"
Tan Daoji's eyes flashed with excitement, and he continued: "Currently, Changsha City only has six thousand defenders, most of whom are newly attached thieves with weak combat effectiveness, but they have accumulated 800,000 stones of grain and grass. If we take Changsha
, after taking these rations and evacuating, even if the demon thieves return with their army, they will still have no rations to use, what do you think, Brother Dao Gui?"
Tan Daoji breathed a long sigh of relief: "I thought your Daogui brother really regarded this boy as one of his own and was not on guard."
Liu Daogui said calmly: "After all, he has cooperated with Liu Tingyun. I don't have time to find out these things now, but I will find out later. Even if I don't go to check, someone will come to check. However, since he has annexed his army
