Kumarajiva shook his head in disbelief: "I don't believe that Liu Yu is indeed a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth. He has taken the lead in charging on the battlefield many times without fear of death, but that was before when he was just for A small soldier is just a general, and it is his duty to charge forward, but now he holds the power of the world. Even if he is not afraid of death, he still has to consider what will happen to the army and what will happen to the country if something happens to him."
"And you have said before that Liu Yu seems to be bold, but in fact he never fights unprepared battles. All tactics are practiced and planned in advance. He is not a fool. Now he has a large army. Since I got the plague, I have been inquiring about the situation every day. More than 50,000 elite soldiers who conquered Yan are now camped in scattered camps across a thousand miles from Shannan to Huaibei. The nearest to Jiankang is the more than 3,000 soldiers who have just arrived in Xiapi. It's just the Chinese army. This is all Liu Yu can produce that is relatively healthy. It will take at least more than a month for the other battalions to regain their combat capabilities. By then, the Tianshi Taoist army will have already captured Jiankang. Got it!"
"At this time, Liu Yu was so exhausted that he took these 3,000 troops to garrison in Guangling, and then recruited as many soldiers and horses as possible from the prefectures and counties in Jiangbei to come to join him. But even so, only 10,000 to 20,000 people could come at most, and Most of them are young recruits with no combat experience. Their combat effectiveness is incomparable to that of his conquering Yan army. With such strength, returning to Jiankang to fight against Tianshi Dao would be to risk death. Even if Liu Yu had the courage, he would not Maybe by sowing beans, an army of 100,000 people will fall from the sky."
The black robe nodded: "According to common sense analysis, it is indeed the case, but don't forget that Liyang still has Meng Huaiyu's tens of thousands of troops, and Jingkou can also mobilize tens of thousands of veterans with combat experience, plus the powerful families in Wu. If we don't agree with Jiankang Mingshao and use all the land from Bawu's manor to provide soldiers and food, within ten months, we won't be able to support another 70,000 or 80,000 people. Even in Liu Yu City, there are nearly 10,000 troops left behind. , the number of civilians recruited from the common people to help with the defense can be no less than 80,000. Calculated in this way, Yi Sheng can barely manage to recruit nearly 100,000 people in a month, relying on Liu Yucheng's strength. The city defense may not be able to hold out until Liu Yu's army is restored."
"I changed the name to a young man. Of course, at that time, the young man was trying to avoid him. He wanted to let the emperor go north to join him and temporarily move the capital. But Jiankang was a gambler and he was willing to risk his own life. When Huan Xuan escaped from Liu Yu, , there will never be a chance to come back. If Jiankang waits for the emperor to flee to Jiangbei, he will first be abandoned by the Wu family. In addition, Jiangbei and Qilu are not his foundation. Once Jingkou is lost, even the Beifu army will stay away. He died. After all, staying in Liu Yu, although dangerous, may actually be the solution with the best chance of winning?!"
Kumarajiva gritted his teeth: "Listening to what you said, it is really possible. What should we do if it is easy to come back? We can't have a hundred thousand troops coming here to travel. We might as well just stop doing it and take advantage of it. During the battle between Jiankang and Tianshi Dao, we sent troops eastward and captured Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Qilu in one fell swoop, and even Jiangbei depending on the situation."
The black robe smiled slightly: "Oh, are you saying that Buddhism talks about cause and effect, saves all living beings, eliminates disasters for the Jin Dynasty, and accumulates merit?"
Kumarajiva said coldly: "Why should we pretend between us? How to explain the theory of cause and effect and virtue? Isn't it all mine? I can also say that Jiankang raised troops and wars, poisoning all living beings, and Nanyan The people of Yuzhou, especially the Xianbei people, encountered a great disaster. It was a just act to send troops to recover Yan. As for the land of Yuzhou, in order to avoid being harmed by the monsters of Tianshi Dao, troops were sent to protect and escort Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi back home. , A person has two skins, and if he wants to offend Yi Sheng and the Jin State anyway, it would be better to give him a severe blow when I am at my strongest, so that I can coordinate the Tianshi Dao's battle and destroy him."
The black robe nodded: "What you mean is that if Jiankang returns to Liu Yu, then simply help Tianshi Dao defeat Yi Sheng and seize the power of Jin. In the process, the Qin army will send troops to seize Qilu, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou. , get actual benefits, right?"
Kumarajiva smiled and said, "Exactly. Moreover, if Sima Guofan and the others seize those places, they can also have an excuse to invite hundreds of officials and aristocratic families in Yisheng City to come and join them. If the people of Yisheng rebel against their relatives and are disadvantaged in the battle, then these people will have no choice. Chu Ke Qu may have no choice but to come over and cooperate with us. After all, the relationship between Jiankang and the high-ranking family is not stable. If the family thinks that Yi Sheng cannot win, they may turn to us for help. At that time, the terms we propose
The family leaders headed by Wang Miaoyin and Mrs. Xie should accept this document. "
Kumarajiva sighed: "I have been duplicitous and have helped you do so many things that are harmful to your merits. I have no hope of returning to the bliss of the Western Heaven. I will definitely go to hell after death. But for the eternal peace and bliss of the world, I If I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell? I just hope that after we succeed, you can abide by the agreement, otherwise, Buddha will never let you go!"
The black robe gritted his teeth: "You know best how I came to be a god. I completely took over the mess caused by Murong Chui's death. This time I took advantage of Liu Yi's defeat and tried to hide part of Liu Yi's military equipment. Jingzhou If things go well over there, I may be able to recruit some of the troops for my use, but that’s a story for another day. Our League of Gods regularly needs chaos in the sky, and a very important reason is to save weapons and treasures for future armies. After all, after the failure of the Ten Thousand Years of Peace Plan, we still have to fight against the emperors of the world, and in the end we still have to speak on the battlefield."
The black robe laughed and said, "Don't worry, when things are done, I will become the real Buddha. I have the final say about the Western Heaven and Hell. We cultivate our way. You, the great monk, will become your Buddha and save the world." Isn't it bliss for all living beings?" At this point, he paused: "We are no longer members of the Tiandao Alliance, so we should make some moves. We always let others rush in front and reap the benefits ourselves. We will continue to do this. Hundreds of years?"
Kumarajiva didn't believe it: "Are you really completely powerless in the south and alone?"
A cold light flashed in the black robe's eyes: "My predecessor directly exposed our organization to the world, and also lost his life. The foundation of the North was almost completely destroyed, and only this little relationship between you and me is left. , if I still have one soldier available, do I still need to ask you to send the Qin army as foreign aid? Do you think I am willing to give up so many benefits to Qin? "
