Zhu Chaoshi glanced at Lu Xun and saw him looking at him gloomily, while Doupeng's cold and stern voice sounded in his ears: "Just say whatever you think of without looking at other people's faces. Xiao Zhu, I'm here What I want to hear is your true analysis.”
Zhu Chaoshi nodded, took a deep breath, and said: "Deputy Leader Xu's men now rely on recruiting stragglers from all walks of life in Jiangzhou and recruiting troops on the spot. They have a strength of more than 20,000 people, but the troops brought by the cult from Guangzhou , but only about five thousand, that is to say, there are only five thousand soldiers who can fight. With this strength, there is no chance of winning against Liu Yi. No matter it is a land battle or a water battle, he is no match, so he sent me to request Leader Lu has sent troops to join him, and only when the main force passes by can we have the strength to fight!"
Lu Xun said coldly: "Even if I have only about 50,000 soldiers and horses now, the troops from Guangzhou are less than 40,000, the old brothers from the Sanwu sect only have 8,000, and the others seem to be slang Dong people. Without a direct decisive battle, the newly recruited surrendered troops still need time to reorganize and digest. Give up Jiangling, which is within easy reach, and fight Liu Yi's army, which he has no confidence in. Zhu Chaoshi, is this how you analyze it from a military perspective?"
At this point, Lu Xun saluted to Doupeng: "Honored God, I think it's better to let Junior Brother Xu lead his troops to capture Jiangling with me. If Jiangling is captured, Jingzhou will be in my hands. With that, With the power of Jingzhou, even if Liu Yi comes over, we can definitely compete with it through the advantage of water warfare. Even if it doesn't work, we can also join forces with Huan Qian and Qiao Daofu's troops and gather the power of the Three Kingdoms. Even if Liu Yu comes in person, it may not be possible. Can defeat us!"
Doupeng looked at Zhu Chaoshi expressionlessly: "Xiao Zhu, what do you think?"
Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth. He knew clearly that it seemed that Duopeng did not agree with Lu Xun's strategy of attacking Jingzhou. It is impossible for the great military strategist not to see this. He had originally deceived Lu Xun into attacking Jingzhou. No way, if he agrees with Lu Xun again in front of Doupeng, I'm afraid that today will be his death day, and then all the forbearance he has done before will be in vain.
Thinking of this, Zhu Chaoshi said seriously: "I still think that Liu Yi is our real enemy just like He Wuji at that time. If we don't deal with him, Jingzhou will not be able to win smoothly. Jiangling is a fortified city, and Liu Daogui is With the reduced strength, we have no chance of winning in the short term. Huan Qian rode out of Wuguan and Qiao Shu soldiers and horses descended from Baidi City. They can only serve as support and cannot face Liu Yi's army head-on. On the contrary, they are Lu Zongzhi of Yongzhou may come to support Liu Daogui at any time. If the city cannot be attacked then, the three troops of the Jin army will rendezvous at the foot of Jiangling City. It is not that our Three Kingdoms will attack Jiangling City, but the army of the God's Religion will have to face the three armies alone. It’s the Lu Jin Army.”
Lu Xun's face became increasingly ugly. If Doupeng hadn't been there, he might have had an attack long ago.
Doupeng sighed softly: "Yuanlong, do you hear that? Even Xiao Zhu can see this, but you insist again and again that we should have a good talk about this matter. Fellow Daoist Xiao Zhu, you can withdraw." Got off."
Zhu Chaoshi secretly complained in his heart. Things were about to go as he had imagined, but as soon as the cloak came out, it was obvious that the direction would be reversed. He might even agree with Lu Xun to join forces with Xu Daofou, but that was him. The result you least want to see. Although he talks about how powerful Liu Yi is, Liu Yi has always been very happy with his achievements, and he doesn't know the existence of the terrifying demon Doupeng. If a fight really breaks out, he does not rule out the possibility of rushing in and ambush and failing like He Wuji. If Liu Yi Once defeated, Jiankang's door will be wide open, and by then it will be too late for the master to return to the army for rescue.
Thinking of this, how could Zhu Chaoshi be willing to accept it? He opened his mouth and said, "Honored God, then, where is Deputy Cult Master Xu..."
Without even looking at him, Doupeng flicked his sleeves and said, "We have received the letter you brought for Daofeng. Now I want to discuss the next plan with Yuanlong. You can go down and rest first. I will tell you the result. By the way, Lan Xiang's body will meet Shui Dengxian today. It's best for you to say goodbye when you have time. In any case, she has been engaged to you. "
Zhu Chaoshi sighed secretly in his heart and could only bow and retreat. Doupeng waved his hand, and all the deaf and mute guards present also retreated. Only Doupeng and Lu Xun were left in the governor's mansion.
When everyone exited the mansion, Doupeng's voice sounded coldly: "Yuanlong, do you know why I suddenly appeared this time?"
Lu Xun lowered his head: "My subordinates don't know the Lord's intentions. Didn't you originally say that you were going to direct other directions and were no longer here, but suddenly you..."
Doupeng said coldly: "Other directions? If I don't come, will you and Dao Fu meet each other and fight directly?"
Lu Xun's expression changed, and he quickly shook his head and said, "Honored God, this is absolutely impossible. Even if Dao Fu and I have differences of opinion, at most we will just do our own thing. How can brothers kill each other?"
Doupeng sneered: "Brothers killing each other? This is not the first time we have done this. Isn't Sun En your sibling?"
Lu Xun was so choked that he couldn't speak. He only heard Doupeng continue to say: "Besides, don't think that I don't know your little Jiujiu, Xu Daofu is bent on destroying Jin and breaking into Jiankang, and you, after all, It's the Lu family of Fan Yang, who was running the Central Plains back then and wanted to seize Luoyang and then establish a foothold in the north. This time you are attacking Jingxiang while sending people to secretly contact Lu Zongzhi, who was a Taoist disciple of Tianshi, in an attempt to draw him in. Don’t my subordinates just want to seize Jingzhou, then march further north to the Central Plains, seize Luoyang, and then wait for an opportunity to fight back to their hometown in Hebei?"
Lu Xun suddenly got the idea, and he simply said: "Is there anything wrong with this style of fighting? Staying in the south and fighting with Liu Yu, the outcome is unpredictable, even the black robe can't beat him , I will take this opportunity to go north, open up the connection with the north, and develop a large number of believers in the north. I can capture Guanlong in the west, and seize Youyou in the north. Isn't it better than conquering Jiankang?"
Doupeng shook his head: "What you are interested in is if Black Robe is the Northern God Lord left after the defeat. But I tell you Yuanlong, haste makes waste in everything. Necessary calculations must be made, but if If you ruin something big because of this little calculation, the gain will outweigh the loss. If Liu Yi defeats Daofu, do you think you can go north with peace of mind? He will take the opportunity to capture Jingxiang and cut off your retreat. The customs in the north and the south are very different, and you can run rampant in the south. The temporary naval army will be useless when it reaches the north. When the road back is cut off and epidemics are rampant, how can you go to the north to make achievements? Even Lu Zongzhi will become your most terrifying enemy and regard your head as loyalty. The proof is dedicated to Liu Yu!"
