Zhu Chaoshi shook his head in pain and kept saying: "No, I don't deserve to live in this world. Anyway, I made a mistake in my command and killed thousands of brothers. In the end, I failed to save Brother Wuji. In the past year, In order to gain the trust of the demon thieves, I commanded them to fight many battles and killed many of our Jin army brothers. I even ordered the execution of more than ten civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty who refused to surrender to the demon thieves. Stained with the blood of my own people, even if you forgive me, I can’t forgive myself.”
"I believe that Master, Brother Daogui, Brother Xile, Brother Ashou, Daoji, Da Shitou, Zhen evil, and Huaiyu, you guys will definitely be able to defeat the monster thieves and completely put down this war that lasted for more than ten years. The great enemy for many years has brought peace to the people of Jin Dynasty. I believe that you will be able to kill the leader of the demon thieves, and then dig out the black hands of the Tiandao Alliance and end this troubled world forever, but I am not worthy to accompany you any longer. The military order is like a mountain. Whether it is surrendering to the enemy or rebelling, it is a capital crime. I only hope that brother Daogui, for the sake of my past achievements, advise Master not to implicate my family, my elder brother, and my wife, children, and mother. They are innocent."
Liu Daogui said calmly: "If we were in the enemy camp for a while and were forced to fight with our army, and there were some casualties, but we couldn't turn back, then all of us would not have to live. According to this principle, all of us, including the eldest brother, Everyone has surrendered to Huan Xuan and helped him rebel. Even our own hands have been stained with the blood of our old brothers from Beifu. All of this is to win the trust of the enemy chief and we will do something about it. Xiao Shitou, we have all experienced what you have experienced, so we can understand your pain."
A trace of surprise flashed across Zhu Chaoshi's face, and he raised his head: "You guys, do you still have such past events?"
Liu Daogui nodded sadly: "Yes, when Huan Xuan usurped the rebellion, Liu Laozhi surrendered without a fight. Later, Huan Xuan forced him to rebel. He used this as an excuse to massacre the former veterans of the Beifu Army, like Liu Laozhi, Gao Su, He Heng, Zhu Qianzhi, Sun Wuzhong and other veterans of the Beifu Army all died under the butcher's knife. In order to test our loyalty, Huan Xuan had some tasks of arresting people and even gave them to us personally. People give orders, just like me, who once followed Brother Xile and personally captured General Sun Wuzhong, who was the old general who trained us when we first joined the army in Beifu, an old superior."
At this point, Liu Daogui's eyes sparkled with tears and his voice became choked.
Zhu Chaoshi didn't know about these past events. He opened his eyes wide and shook his head in disbelief: "Actually, there is such a thing?"
Liu Daogui wiped his eyes and said: "Back then, we were just like you, thinking about taking this opportunity to let General Sun live, but he told us in the camp that his wife, children, and children were all in the hands of Huan Xuan. At his age, it was impossible to escape. So what if he survives? He asked us to protect his wife and children while he committed suicide and asked us to go back to work. Isn't this the same as Brother Wuji using his life to protect you?"
Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth: "This is really the tradition of the old Beifu Army. The loyalty and righteousness are passed down from generation to generation. Brother Daogui, I understand what you mean. You mean to stay and be useful for the Beifu Army and for the Beifu Army." Only by making greater contributions to the people of the world can we comfort these heroic spirits, right?"
Liu Daogui nodded and said seriously: "Yes, Xiao Shitou, we all know your generals and your loyalty. If you hadn't used your trick this time to make the demon thief's fleet collide with each other and get rid of them, The most powerful Qianlong warship, I'm afraid our attack will not be so easy. If you hadn't connected the enemy ships, we wouldn't have been able to attack the giant ship so smoothly. In terms of merit in this battle, the elephant teeth are just Secondly, you deserve to be number one, Brother Elephant Tooth, do you have any objection?"
Lu Gui smiled: "Before I met General Zhu, I didn't know the process. I thought I was the first to set fire to the huge ship. But now it seems that if it weren't for General Zhu, I might not even be able to do it." There is no chance to set fire, let alone the first achievement, I am afraid that even the life may not be alive. Brother Daogui, you are right, the first achievement in this battle is General Zhu's. If anyone has any opinions, please ask me first. fist!"
Having said this, Lu Gui vigorously waved his fist as big as a sandbag, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Liu Daogui's face flashed with a trace of relief, and he said: "Little Shitou, even if you had misdirected in Nankang before and lost troops and territory, your achievements this time are enough to offset your previous sins. In the middle of the year, we are familiar with the inside story, and we need your information. Although we have won for a while, the main force of the demon thieves is still there. The two thieves Lu Xun and Xu Daofu even took the initiative to go eastward, and they didn't know Brother Xile. Whether we can successfully resist their attack, our task is still arduous, we must not underestimate the enemy, let alone think that we can sit back and sit back and relax in Jingzhou just because we have won for a while."
Speaking of this, Liu Daogui said in a deep voice: "The demon thief's original intention is to monitor Jiangling and ensure its smooth water transportation. He does not want to attack Jiangling. If Xiao Shitou, as the commander, had not made the decision to fight this battle, I'm afraid we would also be in trouble." It is difficult to threaten the enemy's supply lines. Two very worrying pieces of information are revealed here. Does anyone know what they are?"
Tan Daoji said thoughtfully: "It means that the main force of the demon thieves is heading east. They no longer want to fight a protracted and attrition war with us here in Jingzhou, nor do they want to turn around and capture Jiangling to create a confrontation between Jing and Yang. They went directly to Jiankang, and the main force of the navy was placed here, which means that if they want to break through Yuzhou and defeat Brother Xile, they must rely on land warfare?"
Liu Daogui's expression was serious: "Yes, if the demon thief had not been sure of defeating Brother Xile's Yuzhou Legion in land battles, he would never have used such a fighting method. We simply don't have time to continue slowly as planned. Cut off the enemy's food routes and lure them back for reinforcements. With Xu Daofu's fierce and swift fighting style, even if we occupy Changsha and cut off their passage back to the division, there is no way they can turn around and fight with us again. The whole army will march eastward. , the only option is to go all the way down the river and attack Jiankang. Not only can we not stay, we must quickly reorganize our troops, advance by land and water, and attack the front line of Yuzhou."
To Yanzhi shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that easy. The enemy has two squadrons with giant ships attacking our Ma Tou and Wulin Ferry. After hearing the news of the defeat, I'm afraid they will join forces and we will fight on the water. There is no certainty that we will defeat them, let alone directly attack Jiangzhou. Although we defeated the enemy in today's battle, our army suffered a lot of losses. There is also the threat of Qiao and Shu's army in the west. Brother Daogui, please Think twice.”
