Xu Daofu sneered and said: "That's natural. Their roots are in the Jiangzhou area. Jingzhou has no attraction for them. It doesn't make much difference to them whether we fight or not. If we defeat Liu Yi in this battle, we will gain A lot of baggage and military rations, after they have grabbed enough, they will have other ideas. If we go back to attack Jiangling and Jingzhou, they may directly return to their home base with these benefits and no longer work hard to survive."
Lu Xun shook his head in disbelief and said, "Not necessarily, then wouldn't it be more important to stay away from their hometown to fight Jiankang? Are they just willing to leave?"
Xu Daofu shook his head: "That's different. The purpose of attacking Jiankang is to enter the capital and overthrow the Jin Dynasty. Then we can establish a new dynasty and ascend to the throne. They have the power of following the dragon, so the level of stimulation is naturally different. Besides, Yes, the land of Wu is the richest in the world. Unlike the frequent wars and insufficient household registration here in Jingzhou, if they follow us and capture Jiankang, they can be allocated a large amount of the land of Sanwu. This alone is enough for them to abandon everything. Come directly to us for Jiankang."
Lu Xun's eyes sparkled and he fell into deep thought.
Xu Daofu took a step forward and continued: "Moreover, this is our best opportunity. We killed Liu Yi's Yuzhou Army as quickly as possible. Black Robe said that he would kill Liu Yu's Yan army. It is impossible to cure the poison within two months, which means we have two months to directly attack Jiankang City. Meng Huaiyu's unit is also the Yuzhou Army, and the main force has been wiped out. His partial division must be as well. People's hearts are unstable, and as for the other troops in Jiankang City, they are just strong farmers who were brought in temporarily and are not worth mentioning."
"If you don't kill a snake, you will be eaten by it. We have wasted too much time in Jingzhou. Now the situation is very good. We can no longer waste opportunities. The whole army marches eastward, leaving no way to retreat, and there is no need to worry about food routes. , first take the baggage and food from the Jiankang camp ahead, and then take advantage of the victory to go all the way down to Liyang and Gushu to get the reserves of the Yuzhou Army. These are enough for us to fight for the first half of the year, and Doupeng will definitely help us. Create opportunities in Lu Xun City so that we can successfully capture Lu Xun!"
Sun En gritted his teeth: "Do you trust the Tiandao Alliance that much? Or did the cloak give you any benefits?"
Lu Yuyi shook her head: "I'm not interested in the Tiandao Alliance, and we are not interested in power in the world. This determines that we can only cooperate with them based on common interests. Now Tiandao The number one enemy of the alliance is Liu Yi, and we are the only force that can destroy Liu Yi through military means, so you have to cooperate with us. As for what to do after the success of taking Lu Xun and establishing a new dynasty, then It’s Brother Qi who has the final say, and I will never raise any objections!”
Sun En shook his head in disbelief: "Are you really willing to do what you said? Just now you said that you want us to give up power and turn into a state religion after we seize the country. Isn't this what the Tiandao Alliance and Doupeng mean? "
Xu Daofu gritted his teeth, pointed to the sky, and said loudly: "Master Heavenly Master, I, Xu Daofu, swear here that what I said just now is just what my brother thought, and it was definitely not what others meant. If there is any meaning in what I said, False, if you discipline me, I will be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts, and my body will be left intact!”
Xu Daofu shook his head, put his other hand on Sun En's, and said, "There is only one person in the cult who can give orders. This is Brother Seven, please give him the order!"
Sun En rolled his eyes and laughed loudly: "Daofu, why is it like this? It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that the Tiandao Alliance has a history. As far as we know, there have been allies who have been betrayed and eradicated. , and also secretly ordered us to kill Liu Yu, so I have to guard against them."
He swore an oath extremely seriously. Even after saying those words, he pulled out the big knife from his waist and made a cut in the palm of his right palm. Blood immediately flowed out along the wound inside the flesh. Sun En couldn't help but be moved by it. This is the most formal and solemn blood oath in Tianshi Dao. Except for Xu Daofu who did this once in his life when he first joined the cult, he never swore such an oath even when he conspired to kill Liu Yu last time. , obviously, what he said this time should be true.
Xu Daofu laughed: "Brother Qi, don't worry, I don't have any other skills except fighting. When I was the prime minister, I only trained troops and formed the army. I have to rely on you to send me all the government affairs." Junior Brother Liu and Junior Brother Zhang will handle it. I am aware of this. However, I know that Lu
Yu is a peerless handsome man and an invincible God of War. This is probably your only chance to defeat him, so you must not give up!"
Sun En nodded: "You are right. On this matter, the Tiandao Alliance just gave us the last push and told us some of the food and ordnance storage locations hidden in Wu, so as to solve our worries when we come back to fight again. Lu Yu, we will definitely get rid of him. But, Daofu, are you really willing to be my deputy all the time, only in charge of military affairs and nothing else?"
Xu Daofu tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped the wound on his palm. He gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Qi, I am also worried about what you are worried about. No matter when, the fortress will always be the most powerful from the inside." It is easy to break through. When we joined forces to kill Liu Yu, it was actually not for the purpose of fighting for power, but because Liu Yu had completely lost his fighting spirit and courage, and just wanted to take his old troops to escape from this continent far away and go to a foreign and wild land to survive. , not only can we not tolerate him, but all brothers in the sect cannot tolerate him either. Although it was the cloak that finally helped us determine our determination, we would have attacked him even without the Tiandao Alliance."
Sun En nodded vigorously, took out his hand, turned to face the guards a hundred steps away, and said loudly: "Send the order, the whole army should form a team, and attack immediately as soon as the time of the immortal medicine is up. Currently, Lu Yu's camp! A hint of joy flashed across Lu Yu's face, and he held Xu Daofu's hand with a smile: "With your attitude like this, eighth brother, I have nothing to worry about. Those are just afterthoughts. When Lu is beaten, Let’s talk about Xun. Our first task now is to line up and move forward as quickly as possible, first capture the Jiankang camp, then Liyang, and capture Lu Xun as quickly as possible. Eighth brother, please give the order."
"Lu Xun, Liu Daogui in Jingzhou is nothing to worry about. I'm afraid his men will take the initiative to sacrifice his head to us. The reason why I said it is best not to give up power after seizing the world is mainly because of the initial decision of the world. We don’t have enough manpower to govern the world, and collecting taxes is harmful to the people. If we do it, we will lose our good reputation among the people. As long as we keep the army in hand, we will not be used by those in power to destroy us. There’s nothing to worry about. But this is just a suggestion. The final choice depends entirely on Brother Qi.”
