Bian Fanzhi blushed and said loudly: "Although Bian is not talented, he is still a loyal minister after the founding of the country. My Bian family belongs to the Jin Dynasty. Although I am not a top family like Wang Xie, I have never joined the mafia, but It can be regarded as a century-old family. Don’t I understand these principles? It’s because I know so well the duplicitous and duplicitous nature of these aristocratic families that I strongly suggest that we withdraw. Queen, this is a matter of great concern to your husband. The life of a demon cannot be gained by any luck or gambling. If we fight at the front and these aristocratic families rebel in the city, how will you deal with it then?"
Liu Tingyun laughed: "Only if we pretend to fight to the death, these aristocratic families in the city will remain loyal. As I said before, they cannot truly accept and recognize Liu Yu in their hearts, let alone those Jingkou farmers. However, if we retreat without a fight, these people will have other ideas. They may support scholars like Liu Muzhi to take the stage, or let people like Wang Mi take charge of the government for Liu Yu. The situation you imagine where the Jingba Party and the Jiankang Family will fight against each other will not happen. They will only unite."
Bian Fanzhi said coldly: "No, they will fight, because Liu Yu wants to completely control the land and population of the world. For his dream of the Northern Expedition, this raising of troops is the best proof that what he wants , His Majesty could have given it to him, but he still rebelled against it. Why? Because he does not trust anyone else's promises and only believes in the power in his own hands. If we return to Jingzhou, as long as we have our current strength, we will not be able to counterattack immediately. Jiankang can at least protect itself without worries. Liu Yu can't snatch land, money, food and population from us, so he can only occupy Wu land. This will inevitably cause him to conflict with these Jiankang aristocratic families. When the time comes, If we use some more tricks to provoke a conflict between Jingkou Qiu Ba and the children of the aristocratic family, they will definitely start fighting."
Liu Tingyun smiled slightly: "Even if he pinches us, it must be after annihilating us, because Liu Yu will never give us a second chance to make a comeback, just like the Wangdun Rebellion back then, when refugees like Su Jun were handsome and A big family like Wang Dao and Yu Liang can put aside all conflicts for the time being, destroy Wang Dun first, and then start a war. Your Majesty is the one who has proclaimed himself emperor. There will be no day in the sky, Liu Yu and the families in Jiankang City will only be loyal to the past. Sima Dezong, the deposed emperor of the Jin Dynasty, will never surrender to His Majesty, and just for this reason, they cannot fight before destroying us."
Bian Fanzhi gritted his teeth: "Even so, when we return to Jingzhou, we have the right time, place and people in our hands. Liu Yu can be like a fish in water here in Jingkou, but if he really wants to cross Jiangzhou and go west, it will be difficult for him to move forward. On the river The navy is our world, but on land, we can join the water and land camps, advance with the navy's bows and arrows to assist in the battle, and retreat with the boat division to attack the rear food road."
"If Liu Yu can't win quickly, then we have the possibility of cooperating with the aristocratic family in Jiankang City again to let them launch a fatal blow behind Liu Yu. Compared with putting all our efforts into this battle now, we have little chance of winning. Gambling is much stronger and better. Your Majesty, you should trust my judgment on this important matter of military affairs. The Queen only considers her relationship with the aristocratic family, but does not understand military affairs. If she bets on the fate of the country, it will be too late to regret it. ah!"
He Danzhi on the side suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say at the end, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Huan Xuan's brows were deeply furrowed. It was obvious that he was having trouble making a decision for the moment. He looked at He Danzhi and said in a deep voice: "General He, if you want to say anything, just speak out."
He Danzhi said seriously: "In this battle, General Mo and Liu Yu fought at Luoluo Bridge for a whole day. Although our army suffered heavy losses, Liu Yu's front army was almost wiped out. Even his right-hand man, Tan Pingzhi, Liu Yu himself also suffered many wounds and almost died at the hands of General Huangfu. If it hadn't been for Tan Pingzhi's arrow, I'm afraid we would have won."
Huan Xuan waved his hand impatiently: "If there is any use in saying it now, the fact is that we lost and he won. Say what you want to say quickly."
He Danzhi nodded and said: "What the general means is that Liu Yu's loss is also very great, and he lost the most elite and best veterans, old brothers. This loss cannot be made up by just recruiting some civilians. The last general was also from Beifu before and had stayed in the Beifu army for many years. The heavy-shield soldiers under the last general were Sun Wuzhong's original Chinese army guards. Normally they are not considered old Chu troops, but our loyalty is Does Your Majesty still have doubts in this battle? Shizhong Bian always said that the new sergeants of Beifu Army and Xifu Army were unreliable and would rebel. But in fact, the general believed that they were still loyal to His Majesty, just like the general and the general The general's subordinates will be loyal to His Majesty, the same reason!"
Huan Qian on the other side nodded with satisfaction and said: "General He said it well. In fact, Liu Yu's influence in the Beifu Army is probably greatly overestimated. He is not so important and has not really reached the point where he can respond to everything. . If this is really possible, why did you disband your troops and return to the field? Why didn't you pull up a team to replace Liu Laozhi and fight us to the end? Most of the soldiers are just for food. What difference does it make to them who becomes the emperor? Liu Yu I want to seize the upper position, but what good can ordinary soldiers do? It is not worth risking the destruction of the nine tribes to cause chaos. Now the officers and soldiers of the Beifu Army and the Xifu Army and their families are all in Jiankang City, as long as we can keep an eye on them These people will not be persuaded by Liu Yu to participate in the rebellion!"
Huan Xuan's expression softened slightly and he nodded: "So, the soldiers of the Beifu Army and the Xifu Army can still be used by us to deal with Liu Yu, right?"
Bian Fanzhi stamped his foot anxiously: "Your Majesty, even if they are used to fight, they must use the Chu army soldiers to supervise the formation from behind. Otherwise, what should we do if they defect in the battle? But their army is larger than the number of troops. There are still more Chu troops. Keep an eye on them, and your family members in the city will be left unattended. That’s why I gave you a plan to cut off their rear, while the soldiers of the Chu army escort their families to evacuate to Jingzhou. When we get to Jingzhou, our military strength The deficiencies will be solved, and when the time comes, these Beifu and Xifu sergeants can be dispersed and organized to avoid future troubles."
Liu Tingyun smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, this is why I came to you. The Chu army may not have enough troops, but the noble families in the city have many servants. If these people go into battle to fight against Liu Yu, they will definitely not be their opponents, but If you are looking after some old, weak, women and children, you are not holding it in your hand, so do you think the heart and support of the aristocratic family in Jiankang City are important?"
