Xu Daofu's thick eyebrows raised: "Then why do you think I should give up the victory I obtained and be inferior to him again?"
Zhu Chaoshi said in a deep voice: "For his own selfish reasons, Lu Xun did not hesitate to give up his only chance to win and attack Jingzhou. If, Marshal Xu, you also spoil the matter for your own interests, you will end up losing both sides with him. I think this is not It should be your choice. If something big comes to pass, then you can consider using your prestige in the military to fight for power with Lu Xun. I believe fellow Taoists will see who led them to victory."
Xu Daofu gritted his teeth: "If I take the initiative to find him, it will be to admit that Senior Brother Lu is the coach and the leader of the cult. Then the victory will be credited to his name. What does it have to do with me? The battle is about This is the only chance. If we capture Jiankang and seize power, will there be any chance of fighting?"
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly: "When we really have to face Liu Yu, I'm afraid that even if you let Lu Xun go on his own, he won't have the courage. So, what you need to do, Marshal, is to defeat Liu Yu before you meet him." Yi, capture Yuzhou. Once Yuzhou is captured, Liu Daogui in Jingzhou will not be able to hold on for long. It can be decided by the division. Even if Liu Yu returns to the division by then, it will only be an isolated city of Jiankang and the land of six counties in the north of the Yangtze River. Nanyan will be destroyed. If it is lost, it is also a newly attached land and cannot provide resources for war. Only by then possessing most of the Jin Kingdom’s divine religion can we say that we have more than 70% chance of winning.”
At this point, he paused: "But if Liu Yi can't defeat him, and Liu Yi defeats them one by one, not only will all the existing results be lost, but he will even take the opportunity to march straight in and capture Lingnan. Then Where can the Cult of God escape then? Losing a good situation because of the power struggle between the two leaders is a big waste."
Xu Daofu frowned: "What do you mean, you want me to temporarily surrender to Lu Xun, defeat Liu Yi, and then expand my own strength through the merits of command and mergers?"
Zhu Chaoshi said seriously: "Yes, Lu Xun is the leader and is good at inspiring people, but this is limited to those who believe in the Heavenly Master. They do not believe in prisoners, surrendered troops, and various bandits and bandits who take the initiative to surrender. God's religion is just to join the victor. Your commander's talent is beyond the reach of Lu Xun. Everyone in the army knows who gives the orders and will follow you in the future. You don't have to be in a hurry. In fact, Even if you relent this time and invite Lu Xun to take command, everyone in the church knows that it was you who took the initiative to attack Jiangzhou, and it was you who advocated the attack on Jiankang, while Lu Xun just wanted to attack Jingzhou. Is the title of master and slave still important?"
A smile slowly appeared on Xu Daofu's face: "You still have a way. It seems that when you were in the Beifu Army, you often stirred up trouble between your master and Liu Yi. This kind of power struggle Being so familiar with the game is no less capable than you in fighting."
Zhu Chaoshi curled his lips and said: "To be honest, Marshal Xu, although our Zhu family has always been the generals, we have always faced this problem of siding with one's loyalties, and we are all soldiers. We should know that soldiers use deceit to deceive their strength. All military tactics are to deceive the enemy and guess the hearts of the enemy. Whether it is the enemy's general's heart or the heart of our soldiers, they must be mastered in order to win the battle. Therefore, my master taught me that no matter when and where , we all need to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes and consider what they would do.”
Xu Daofu sighed softly: "In this world, there is only one person in this world that I, Xu Daofu, can really admire, Liu Yu. Although he is my mortal enemy, I have to admit that when it comes to fighting, he is indeed Above me. You can’t accept it.”
Zhu Chaoshi felt a burst of joy in his heart, but his face showed a look of surprise: "Commander Xu, do you really look at my master like this?"
Xu Daofu nodded: "Liu Yu and I have known each other since we were children. We have been fighting in the mud since we were young. Even my two teeth were broken by him. Ordinarily, he is the one I hate the most in my life. He is also my biggest enemy, but after so many years of fighting, I have to admit that his skills and abilities are above mine, and his heart and mind are above mine. Having such an opponent is my misfortune and my greatest luck. .”
Zhu Chaoshi frowned: "How can you say you are lucky?"
Xu Daofu smiled slightly: "Only when facing a powerful and seemingly invincible enemy can a man's fighting spirit be inspired and forced to defeat this mortal enemy. This has been the motivation for me to work hard for so many years, just to defeat Liu Yu. For this, I can do anything, including temporarily bowing to Senior Brother Lu like you said."
Zhu Chaoshi's heart moved and he said with a smile: "Marshuai Xu is really knowledgeable and open-minded. For this reason alone, he is much better than Lu Xun. It's not in vain that I am willing to follow you."
Xu Daofu's eyes were fixed on Zhu Chaoshi: "I believe that I am worthy of your service, but after all, you are going to follow me and become an enemy of Liu Yu. Are you really willing?"
Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth: "In this troubled world, personal likes, dislikes and emotions cannot achieve anything. I have the Zhu family on my shoulders, not me alone, so I must surrender to the one who wins. My master has everything Everything is fine, everything is perfect, but there is one thing that is not as good as you, the handsome man."
Xu Daofu asked: "In what way are you inferior to me?"
Zhu Chaoshi said in a deep voice: "He values too much emotion, cares too much about bottom lines and principles, so sometimes, he can't break it off. He wastes time for many useless emotions. For example, with Liu Yi, he clearly knows that this person is one of his big friends. The threat was due to the righteousness of many years of comradeship, and the rear was entrusted to him. For example, He Wuji knew clearly that he was greedy for power and could not control one side alone, but he guarded Jiangzhou so heavily because he lived and died with him. I gave him the responsibility, and as a result, the bad thing this time was caused by these two people!"
"Another example is that towards Murong Lan, they were obviously hostile, but they cared about their relationship as husband and wife, so they delayed in making a fatal move, including the attack on Guanggu this time. It was also because they cared about her life that they showed mercy. It's like this now. Or for the Sima family, they know clearly that they are hopeless and have long been disappointed, but they don't take the throne for the sake of their own loyalty. This leads to compromises with others everywhere. Being patient, unable to fully display his ambitions, and ending up like this is not God's will, it is entirely his own responsibility!"
"On the other hand, Marshal, you may be a little less talented than my master, but the thing that is stronger than him is that you are not bound by these emotions, whether it is for Lu Lanxiang, his wife of many years, or for Lu Xun, a fellow senior fellow student. Break when it's time to break, give up when it's time to give up, without any hesitation, this is the character that can achieve great things in troubled times, just for this point, it is worthy of me as the whole Zhu family to follow you life and death!"
