At this point, Yu Yue sighed: "I understand what you mean. What you want to say is that since Liu Yu is based on loyalty, he can only abide by this principle and cannot openly defy the court's orders. Among those who stayed in the capital, Meng Chang was the most Communist Party member, Xu Xianzhi is the assistant, and Wang Miaoyin, as the queen, actually controls the jade seal. Now Wang Miaoyin is appeasing the people all over Qilu, and the capital...
The black robe suddenly shook his head: "I have intelligence that Wang Miaoyin who is now in the Qilu area is just her substitute, not the real person. As for the real Wang Miaoyin, she is missing now. I think there must be something wrong with it. Hidden secrets known to everyone.”
Yu Yue took a breath of air: "What? Wang Miaoyin is not in the capital? Not in Qilu? Is it necessary? Why is she hiding her whereabouts?"
The black robe curled up his lips: "I am also looking for Wang Miaoyin's whereabouts, but she is a very powerful espionage wizard. If she deliberately hides her whereabouts, I won't be able to find out for a while. Now I have too much energy If I keep her here, I won’t have time to check her whereabouts, but I’m sure she hasn’t returned to the capital now. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left a substitute to go around the land of Qilu to benevolent and comfort her.”
Yu Yue murmured: "If Wang Miaoyin is not here, then the actual controller of the capital and the people who can give orders and take power are Meng Chang and Xu Xianzhi. They are also my two guard colleagues in the mafia. Meng Chang prefers Liu Yi , and Xu Xianzhi is Liu Yu’s spokesperson, do you mean that if Liu Yu cannot come back and Liu Yi is defeated, then they will have to listen to my suggestion and recruit troops from the Qin Dynasty to come for reinforcements? "
The black robe nodded: "Yes, so you need to pass on this news to them through a trusted person, so that they can take the initiative to order the pardon of Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi, and at the same time ask for help from the Later Qin, and then order Liu Yu In order to appease Qilu, we stationed troops in the north of the Yangtze River to await orders, and to prepare for the emperor's drive northward."
Yu Yue sighed: "Other things are easy to say. I just want Liu Yu not to cross the river and stay in the north of the river. I'm afraid he won't. If Liu Yu is alone,
What should we do if we cross the river alone or with only a few guards, enter Jiankang, and command the troops left behind in Jiankang to defend the city? "
There was a trace of surprise in the black robe's eyes, and he kept shaking his head: "No, it's impossible. Liu Yu is not that crazy. Jingguchi Jianyi seems to be hitting the stone with an egg, but he has very careful calculations. The army he used to raise an army was the old Beifu Army at Jingkou. Although these people were small in number, they were extremely powerful in combat. Two thousand men and horses could defeat Huan Chu's ten thousand elite troops."
"And those 10,000 or so elite soldiers were all the Chu army could dispatch in a hurry. Although the Chu army claimed to have 100,000 troops, the other 40,000 or so soldiers and horses were the former Beifu army and had been bullied by the Jingzhou soldiers. , once these 10,000 elite troops cannot defeat Liu Yu, the other 40,000-odd Beifu troops will defect on the battlefield. Even if the uprising fails, Liu Yu can retreat to the north of the Yangtze River, occupy Guangling, and connect with Nan Yan in order to succeed. This is not true. Don’t want your life.”
"But this time is different. Liu Yu's Beifu army is all in the land of Qilu. Now they have been hit by the plague and cannot come back to fight for the time being. He wants to return to the capital. There are only thousands of temporarily recruited Jiankang market gangsters. These people have no fighting ability at all. It can be said that Liu Yu led them into an isolated city and was seeking death. It would be better for the emperor to leave Jiankang and go to Jiangbei to join him. But the loss of Jiankang would be the same as Huan Xuan's escape from the capital. Tell the people of the world that his regime has ended. The world is so big, where can Liu Yu go?"
"Look at the letters Liu Yu wrote to Liu Yi. They all gave him the post of Shangshu Ling and the general of the Zhenjun army. He swallowed his words like this, which shows that Liu Yi is his only hope to delay time. If Liu Yi loses now, he will have no power at all. The army that resists Tianshi Dao has no choice but to drive north and join him."
"At this time, as long as Meng Chang and Xu Xianzhi can order the troops not to go north, but to stay in Jiankang and look for foreign aid besides Liu Yu, then Liu Yu can organize his army to gather grain, which will give Liu Yu a step down. Since he has no ability to save Jiankang, he will let others save him. The condition is that he will hand over his power and guard the country's borders from now on. He will stay in Nanyan and never go back. Doesn't he want to be Zuti? Then let him be Zuti. Didn’t Zu Ti say he won’t return to his hometown until the Northern Expedition succeeds? Then please let him follow suit.”
Yu Yue nodded: "It sounds reasonable, but if I fight guerrillas here, who will go back to inform Meng Chang and Xu Xianzhi? Who has this?"
Prestige makes them understand these truths? "
The black robe smiled slightly: "I already have a perfect candidate to handle this matter. You have to stay here to build your reputation so that you can become the leader of the mafia in the future. And I have also found a candidate who is acceptable to Meng Chang and the others. The people we recommend are Tao Qian and Tao Yuanming!"
Yu Yue's eyes widened and his ears pricked up: "Tao Yuanming? How could it be him? Is he from the Tiandao Alliance?"
The black robe waved his hand: "Of course not. Tao Yuanming is a descendant of Tao Kan and a famous scholar in the world. But deep down in his heart, he wants to be Huanxuan, because he believes that the Huan family dominates Jingzhou for a few years. Ten years ago, the Tao family was the lord of Jingzhou. However, because his descendants were unfaithful and fought with each other, outsiders took over Jingzhou. Therefore, he was unwilling to accept it and served under Yin Zhongkan and Huan Xuan successively, just to take advantage of it. He has the opportunity to take back Jingzhou, because it is the inheritance of his ancestors."
Yu Yue raised the corners of his lips in disdain: "He is a poor scholar who can only write a few pastoral poems. How dare he have such ambitions to seize Jingzhou? Besides, didn't Liu Yu once invite him to join the army? He has a chance. Relying on meritorious service to get promoted is not without the possibility of taking over Jingzhou in the future, but he gave up on his own."
Heipao said coldly: "That's because Tao Yuanming doesn't want to work under Liu Yu at all. He wants to control Jingzhou alone like Tao Kan, without being ordered by the court. Do you think Liu Yu will give him this opportunity? Just let him When he becomes the governor of Jingzhou, it is impossible for him to achieve Tao's hereditary separatist rule of Jingzhou."
Yu Yue's expression changed: "But does he have Tao Kan's ability to fight? If he doesn't have this ability and still has this ambition, what else is he seeking death for?"
Heipao smiled slightly: "People who are very powerful in some places often cannot see their own shortcomings. Just like Yin Zhongkan, he is also a pure scholar and does not know how to fight. It can be said that he is the same person as Tao Yuanming, but he is still the same Do you have the ambition to monopolize Jingzhou and become a great vassal town? In the end, when you are about to die, you haven't realized it yet, you just lament your bad luck."
