Chapter 5267: Pretending to pursue the real indulgence
Jiangzhou, Yuzhang, governor's office.
In a secret room, Tao Yuanming had a gloomy face and sat opposite Luo Longsheng. Both of them were wearing official uniforms, symbolizing their status as agents of Jiang Governor Shi and Sima. Luo Longsheng gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "God.
Sir, I didn’t expect that Liu Yu was so abominable and killed Yu Lesheng directly. You just included him in the Divine Alliance, and they did this without annexing the Jiangzhou Legion brought by Junior Brother Yu. Have they started to notice us?
Identity?"
Tao Yuanming said coldly: "If Lesheng betrayed us, or if Liu Yu found any clues, then the ones who come back to Yuzhang this time will not be the Jiangzhou Army led by Wang Jingxian, but Liu Yu himself.
The army, at least Tan Daoji led the Jingzhou Army to arrest us. Long Sheng, don’t panic, Le Sheng’s death was just the result of him using too much force and disobeying orders in front of the formation. Our identity is not something anyone can notice.
It can’t be reached.”
Luo Longsheng sighed: "After the Battle of Leichi, Xu Daofu and Lu Xun retreated to Zuoli again. The day before yesterday, Liu Yu led his army to pursue Zuoli and directed all the troops to fight hard. Xu Daofu and Lu Xun also concentrated
Almost all the troops resisted desperately. The two armies fought for two days and two nights. The sound of killing was loud and fireworks spread for dozens of miles around. In the end, Tianshi Dao's army was defeated. Almost all the infantry, cavalry and navy were lost.
There were more than 50,000 prisoners, and Lu Xun and Xu Daofu could not even join forces to escape together, but split up and led thousands of remaining troops to escape."
Tao Yuanming said coldly: "This is expected. Including the Battle of Leichi, their defeat was also completely expected by me. Therefore, in order to clear the relationship with them, I have ordered Wang Jingxian to lead the troops without stopping.
The remnants of the Jiangzhou Legion that just returned went to pursue Xu Daofu."
Luo Longsheng's expression changed: "Are we really going to beat Tianshi Dao to death? Don't let them have a chance to return to Lingnan and take a breather?"
On Tao Yuanming's dark face, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "We can't stop fighting, we can't fight with all our strength, so I specially used the troops brought back by Wang Jingxian to start the pursuit after resting for two days in Yuzhang, and for more than a month we have been in
You will lead the newly organized and recruited troops in Jiangzhou to hunt down and eliminate stragglers from all walks of life near Jiangzhou, as well as those local forces that still use the banner of Tianshi Dao."
Luo Longsheng suddenly realized, nodded and said: "You still have to let them go. I understand. In fact, it is just a pretense of chasing. At most, it is to use some force against those powerful people who are listed as Tianshi Dao, but they want to let Xu Daofu go."
Passed with Lu Xun."
Tao Yuanming sighed softly: "Wang Jingxian's men, especially those from Nankang, suffered heavy losses in Leichi this time. They have made a big enmity with Tianshi Tao, and they will definitely pursue them with all their strength, and they are familiar with this place.
In the nearby terrain, Xu Daofu and the others may not be able to escape their pursuit. I will try to delay their time, and I will also ask you to be responsible for their food supplies along the way. You can deliberately do something to slow down their pursuit.
, However, you must never have any contact with Xu Daofu and Lu Xun again. If they are caught up and eliminated, it will be their fate and it is not something you can save."
Luo Longsheng nodded and said: "I understand, as long as I can give Xu Daofu and Lu Xun a chance to escape to Lingnan, that's it. But I won't force it. With the current Tianshi Dao defeated, I'm afraid they will
If the wall falls and everyone pushes back, even the powerful forces from various places who once took refuge in them may turn around and attack them."
Tao Yuanming's eyes narrowed slightly: "So, in the name of suppressing thieves and suppressing rebellion, you must eliminate these powerful forces along the way. Regardless of whether they want to rebel and submit to the Jin Dynasty, try to eliminate them as much as possible. Don't let Xu
Daofu's fleeing troops will have a chance to join forces with these powerful men again."
Luo Longsheng said thoughtfully: "But if this happens, Xu Daofu and his gang will be out of supplies. How will they cross half of Jiangzhou and escape back to Lingnan?"
Tao Yuanming said coldly: "This is not something you have to worry about. Regarding escape, I believe Xu Daofu and Lu Xun are more experienced than you. They also thought of their retreat before the Zuoli battle.
Otherwise, Xu Daofu would not have escaped separately. Now Xu Daofu is heading towards Shixing, while Lu Xun may be crossing the Wuling Mountains and entering Lingnan via Nankang. Make preparations and set off at night. Three thousand pursuit troops,
It's already ready outside the city."
Luo Longsheng smiled slightly: "Where are Yu Yue, what should we tell him?"
Tao Yuanming said seriously: "This time in the Battle of Leichi, the Jiangzhou Army, under the command of Wang Zhene and Wang Jingxian, was at the front. Although it suffered heavy casualties, it still made a great contribution. Yu Yue's tribesmen suffered losses.
Although he was big, he was supplemented with 5,000 strong captives from the Heavenly Master Dao. This time he also came back with Wang Jingxian, and he still made a lot of money. As for Yu Lesheng, he had betrayed him before, and he would not do it even if he died.
So sad.”
"And this time he has the opportunity to chase down the demon thief and seize the Heavenly Slayer Master's Taoist power. He will be very happy. Maybe he will lead the pursuit himself. If that is the case, it would be even better, because Yu Yue is a loser.
, it is absolutely impossible to catch Xu Daofu and Lu Xun personally."
Luo Longsheng laughed: "That's true, he doesn't have that ability, but..."
At this point, he suddenly frowned: "There is one thing that has always been strange to me, and that is why the Jin army didn't send troops to quickly pursue Xu Daofu and Lu Xun after winning the Battle of Zuoli. Did Liu Xun
General Yuhe thinks that gathering and eliminating the stragglers after Tianshi Dao's defeat near the war zone is more important than chasing down these two bandit leaders?"
Tao Yuanming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said thoughtfully: "I have been wondering about this matter, and Liu Jingxuan seems to have led a troop to Qingzhou after the war. The informants in the army said that it was
There is another emergency in Qingzhou, and the Later Qin Dynasty may instigate Sima Guofan and others to invade Qingzhou again, so Liu Jingxuan needs to go back to guard it, huh, I think this matter is not that simple."
Luo Longsheng curled up his lips: "Is it because during the Battle of Leichi, that Wang Zhen held Liu Yu's personal command and killed Yu Lesheng on the spot, and actually took away Liu Jingxuan's command power? This made Liu Jingxuan and Liu Yu also
Have you fallen out?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "If this is the case, of course it is best, but I think the relationship between the two of them will not be like this. Okay, I won't say more. You do as I say, and I will also find a way to get out.
After meeting Lu Xun, maybe they should consider going to sea again." (End of Chapter)
