Chapter 5091 Two generals fight for the position of commander in chief of thieves
The corners of Liu Yi's mouth twitched slightly and he said: "If your Majesty orders me to lead the troops to attack like I did when I defeated Huan Xuan in the last Western Expedition, then I am willing to do my best. This time I will serve as the governor of Yuzhou."
I am ashamed to face the imperial court. I have lost my troops and territory, and countless brothers and sisters have been killed in battle. This is the greatest shame in my life. I don’t want to kill the demon thief with my own hands day and night, and kill the two thieves Lu and Xu with their heads.
I am here to pay homage to my brothers who died in battle, and I also ask the court to give me a chance. Even if I am not leading the troops like last time, even if I just join the army as an ordinary sergeant, I am willing!"
Liu Yi's words were loud and forceful. He gritted his teeth, and even the snapping sound of his finger joints when he clenched his fists could be heard clearly. Everyone could feel his incomparable hatred. After all, this time, what happened?
Shi Dao's rebellion not only cost him many years of accumulation, but also tens of thousands of subordinates, his enviable wife, a noble lady from a noble family, and his reputation as the military god of Beifu and his qualifications to challenge Liu Yu's status.
All of this was given by the Heavenly Master Dao and the Heavenly Dao Alliance behind Liu Tingyun, and it was Liu Yi's human nature to take revenge on them.
Wang Miaoyin seemed to have expected it. She looked at Xi Sengshi and said calmly: "Xi Shangshu, is this the plan you and Liu Fujun discussed in advance? Have you prepared enough grain, ordnance, and logistics?
?”
Xi Sengshi waved his hand quickly: "No, Queen Wang, this matter just suddenly occurred to me. I did not discuss it with Liu Fujun. It was just that Liu Cheqi asked what our family could do to contribute to the court, so I did this
He said that he had no prior contact with Liu Fujun."
Beside Liu Yu, Liu Jingxuan sneered: "Then why didn't Xi Shangshu say that I would lead the expedition? The last time Huanxuan went to the west, I was still in Nanyan at the time and could not return home, so I didn't catch up. This time
I happen to be in Jiankang, and I am also a champion general. I command an army of thirty thousand, which is enough to serve as a vanguard against thieves. Xi Shangshu, don’t you think highly of me?"
Xi Sengshi's face changed slightly, he smiled awkwardly, and said: "Liu Guanjun, this, during the last Liu Fujun's Western Expedition, our family, the Xie Shangshu family, and more than a dozen Jiankang aristocratic families were just like Liu Fujun.
The Fu army cooperated happily. Oh, by the way, there were also Liu Zhengxi and He Zhengnan, who were also serving as the two lieutenants in Liu Fu Jun's army at that time. They all worked together to destroy Huan Chu. Later, you led the troops to join the army and went to Qiao.
During the Shu period, we, the aristocratic families of Wu, also had some support, but Liu Fujun just said that he had a sworn hatred for the monsters and thieves, which is better than Liu Guanjun and you, so this is the reason for the westward expedition against the thieves.
, No matter who is in charge, it should be decided by the court. Uh, no matter who is in charge, our Xi family will definitely provide more food, grass, and men in addition to the supply of the court, just like the Yu Yue family, to supply this war.
"
Xie Hun also followed up and said: "I am here to express my position on behalf of the Xie family and destroy the demon thieves. This time our Xie family will go all out and send all the nephews and nephews who meet the needs of the court to join the army. The demon thieves will bring disaster to the Jin Dynasty.
After twenty years, it’s time to eradicate them completely.”
The heads of more than a dozen wealthy families also rushed to express their opinions. After the impassioned and shouting sounds, everyone's eyes fell on Liu Yi and Liu Jingxuan. It seemed that the coach of this Western Expedition had already
You must choose between these two.
Wang Miaoyin's wonderful eyes swept over the faces filled with nervous and expectant expressions, and finally fell on Liu Yu's face and said: "Liu Cheqi, are you planning to let Liu Fujun and Liu Guanjun
Which general will be in charge of this western expedition?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I think this Western Expedition is different from the last battle to destroy Huan. When Huan Xuan usurped the rebellion, he brought all the elite troops to Beijing. The elite of the Chu army for many years is in Jiankang.
, were all wiped out in the Battle of Jianyi, so our army only had to pursue Huanxuan during the Western Expedition. Although the land of Jingzhou has been Huanchu's home base for many years, Huanxuan, the puppet who escaped all the way,
The emperor has long lost the hearts of the people, and the Jingzhou scholars and people who went on the expedition but did not return to the capital even with their bodies dead, also hated Huan Xuan and were unwilling to serve for him. Therefore, it seemed that our strength was insufficient in the last Western Expedition.
But as long as we pursue and fight fiercely, the outcome is already determined, Xile, do you agree with this?"
Liu Yi raised his lips unnaturally and said: "Jinu, there is nothing wrong with what you said, but even so, thousands of our troops set out and fought hard for two years. Not only did we defeat Huan Xuan, we also wiped out dozens of
Huan Zhen's plan to proclaim himself emperor again and counterattack Jiangling was defeated by the powerful Huan clan's old tribe and rebellious parties in various places. He completely eliminated the Jingzhou forces that had been a huge threat to Yangzhou and Jiankang since the Jin Dynasty moved south.
Isn’t this achievement worthy of recognition?”
Liu Yu said seriously: "Xile, your contribution to the Western Expedition to destroy Chu has long been remembered in history. I don't mean to belittle it at all, but what I want to say is that the Chu army at that time had lost all its elites, and what we needed was poor people.
He chased them relentlessly, not giving them a chance to recover and not giving Huan Xuan time to breathe. But this time, the situation of the demon thieves was different. Although they failed to attack Jiankang and Jiangling twice and their energy was frustrated, they were still able to survive after all.
There are nearly 200,000 troops and a powerful naval fleet still retained. It is not certain that we will be able to destroy them by pursuing them fiercely. If we are not careful, if we are unfavorable in the decisive battle with the monster thieves on the water, then all the previous ones will be destroyed.
All the results gained may be lost again, Xile, do you agree with this?"
Liu Yi frowned. He wanted to deny these words, but he could not refute them. He could only say in a deep voice: "We have been preparing here in Jiankang for several months. The fleet has also been established, and Liyang has also
Recover, now the navy of the demon thieves has retreated to the Leichi and Zuoli area in the west of Yuzhou and the east of Jiangzhou, and has set up a water and land stronghold in an attempt to hold on."
"We can completely march into the Thunder Pond and set up camp to counter it. At the same time, let the Jingzhou Army go down the river and attack the demon thieves from both sides. I am very familiar with the terrain there. Even if you are not too reassured about this battle, I am willing to do so.
Leading my 20,000 men, as the vanguard of the army, I set out from Liyang and approached Leichi by land. I left Zuoli to explore the way and set up camp for the army. I must be extremely careful this time. It will not be like the last battle of Sangluozhou.
That will give the demon thieves a chance to sneak up and ambush!"
Having said this, Liu Yi paused and looked at Liu Jingxuan beside him: "Ah Shou, last time you were away and didn't have time to participate in the Western Expedition. I think this is good. You and I will join forces to go out this time, each with a soldier."
Army, support each other and advance to Leichi, just like the cooperation between Wuji and I in the last Western Expedition, we don't have to fight for a chance to send troops and hurt the brotherhood. What do you think?" (End of this chapter)
