The black robe said thoughtfully: "What you mean is that there are family members of the Beifu Army in Jingkou. He doesn't have to save the emperor, but he has to protect these people. Even if he temporarily recruits troops from his hometown in Jingkou, he must do his best. Are you stalling for time and waiting for the Jiangbei army to return to support after it recovers?"
Doupeng nodded: "Yes, if the family is controlled, the Beifu army may collapse overnight or even surrender. This price is something Liu Yu cannot bear. He rushed back so crazily back then, not with the help of his men." People and horses, but to let the people of Jingkou have information. Even the old men and women in Jingkou are capable of fighting. Everyone can fight. Organizing these people is a fighting force that cannot be underestimated. "
The black robe gritted his teeth: "If Liu Yu runs back to Jiankang, all our plans will be shattered, so we have to do our best to prevent this from happening. What you mean is to let Tianshi Dao invade Jiankang Instead of letting the Later Qin army stop it?"
Doupeng sighed softly: "Of course I also know that Lu Xun and Xu Daofu each have their own independent aspirations, and they can no longer obey our orders all the time. But now, Liu Yu is the biggest enemy. We can only eliminate them first." Liu Yu can talk about other things. With the personalities of Lu Xun and Xu Daofu, now that Liu Yu is a powerful enemy, they will still cooperate together. Once Liu Yu is eliminated, they will inevitably turn against each other and attack each other. This is when we take the opportunity to get rid of them and rearrange agents, so you can’t be too hasty.”
The black robe frowned: "But it's not just Liu Yu that Lu Xun and Xu Daofu want to eliminate. They want to eliminate the aristocratic family as well. If they really succeed, how will we find an agent?" Woolen cloth?"
Doupeng said calmly: "When I asked the Tianshi Dao to start a rebellion, I had comprehensive considerations. If the Tianshi Dao could invade Jiankang and establish themselves on behalf of the Jin Dynasty, then what they could rely on were the rich and wealthy families in Wu. It is just a Soochow regime, and it retains one-third of the world. If your predecessor goes smoothly and unifies the north, it will form a conflict between the north and the south. If there is another power in Shu and Guanlong, it will be a tripartite confrontation. This is correct It is the best environment for us to realize our ten thousand-year peace plan. If it is a unified empire, sooner or later it will turn its attention to us, which will be detrimental to our plan."
The black robe nodded: "Yes, supporting family organizations like Black Hand Qiankun to fight against the supreme imperial power is also based on this consideration. We cannot form a strong king like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and control the grassroots villages, or even Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. This way If this happens, we will have no space to exist. Before the plan is realized, such a powerful king must not appear."
At this point, Heipao paused: "It's just that Liu Yu has the possibility to achieve all this now. Even if Tianshi Tao invades Jiankang, can he really be stopped? Huan Xuan also usurped Jin and established himself, but I haven’t eliminated Liu Yu either.”
Doupeng gritted his teeth: "Back then, through Liu Tingyun, we tried our best to persuade Huanxuan to eradicate and kill Liu Yu, but we didn't expect that Huanxuan actually wanted to keep Liu Yu for the Northern Expedition. In the end, we suffered the consequences. We also We didn't expect Liu Yu to have such energy, let alone his true thoughts, and we still underestimated him. It was a big mistake on our part to not eradicate him when his power was not so strong, and we regretted it too late."
The black robe nodded: "Yes, at that time we always thought that the big warlords from big families like Liu Laozhi, Xie An, and Huan Xuan were the opponents to defeat. Liu Yu, who started from a humble background and had no foundation, Don't worry too much, you can even use his power to eliminate these apparent opponents. Murong Chui even wanted to marry his sister and win over Liu Yu to join our Tiandao League. Now it seems so ridiculous. I just saw Murong Chui. Because of Chui's failure, he didn't have much confidence in Tianshi Dao. It was almost impossible to defeat Liu Yu militarily. We still had to start by winning over people's hearts and introduce Buddhism into the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This was the consideration."
Doupeng shook his head: "I don't care whether it's Buddha or Taoism that's used to deal with Liu Yu. What I care about is whether this move can be successful. Both the Hou Qin Army and Tianshi Dao are forces we can control. Let them do it themselves." I don’t think killing each other is a good choice. To introduce Buddhism, it is not necessary for the Later Qin army to send troops at this time. You can let the Later Qin army attack Nanyan first, delaying Liu Yu’s army from returning for reinforcements, and the Tianshi Dao army attacks Entering Jiankang will cut off Liu Yu's return, and more importantly, we will control the Jingkou area where the Beifu Army's family members are located, and force them to submit or be defeated."
"Although Liu Yu fought
The battle is powerful, but we still have to rely on these Beifu troops with high combat effectiveness to achieve success. Once the Beifu army is gone, it is impossible for him to defeat an army by himself, so I don’t think we can follow the way you said and send troops from Tianshi Dao. The best strategy is to capture Jiankang and control Jingkou as quickly as possible. "
The black robe frowned: "But in this case, the Mafia Qiankun, I mean the two mafias, whether they are real or fake, these two organizations will be completely finished. Without the cooperation with the noble families, in the future what should we do?"
Doupeng said calmly: "There is no rush. We will talk about it later. If necessary, sacrifice Yu Yue's fake mafia first and keep the real mafia. After all, Liu Tingyun and the others are not a top family. They can take it slow. Lu Xun and Xu Dao Overthrowing this rule that relies on religious blind obedience and terror will not last long."
"Because they lack the ability to rule at the grassroots level, it's okay for those religious fanatics to manage dozens of disciples to kill people and set fires. If they are asked to manage a village or a township one by one, they must be able to collect taxes on time. They can no longer rely on killing people. Meat-eating."
"At that time, they could use the people's hatred for the children of the aristocratic family to bring the bankers into revolt. But if they rule by themselves, it will be the other way around. Coupled with the internal fighting between Lu Xun and Xu Daofu, if they capture Jiankang and eliminate Liu Yu, They will fight among themselves."
"At that time, you can take advantage of the constant wars and peace of mind to introduce Buddhism. The children of the aristocratic families you just mentioned escaped into Buddhism and became monks in the name of building temples and cut off their heirs. Although it is a good idea, it is very difficult. It is difficult to achieve. In the end, there will be many fake monks and flower monks who keep practicing in the temple, but it ruins the reputation of Buddhism. In my opinion, they will be killed in large numbers, just like Sun En did in Wu. Doing that is the only way to solve it once and for all.”
"As for what you are worried about, don't worry too much about the fact that no one is cooperating without the children of the aristocratic families. After cleaning up a large number of top aristocratic families, the remaining small and medium-sized aristocratic families, as well as the powerful local landlords in Wudi, will naturally be willing to cooperate with them. Those we cooperate with, including the remaining generals of the Beifu Army who surrendered after Liu Yu was eliminated, will become our collaborators, so why should you be too hasty."
