Liu Yu said in a deep voice:
"Everything I have done in my life is not an unrealistic dream of achievement. What I want is not to leave a name in history, but to expel the Hulu and restore the Han Dynasty. On this basis, I can realize the great unity of the world and everyone." Equality, there will be no more wars and disputes from now on, let China stand proudly in the world, and let our descendants enjoy peace forever. In other words, I want to turn the illusory Peach Blossom Spring you wrote into reality. Isn't this also wrong? Tao Yuanming sneered: "The order of this world and the division of power in this world are established rules that have been formed for thousands of years. They can't be broken so easily. Unless a saint teaches first and makes the world unite, then changes can be made." Liu Gong relies on strong soldiers and horses, and expects to destroy the six countries and pacify the wasteland like Qin Shihuang. This is ridiculous. "In fact, even if you can rely on the army to run rampant for a while, others will not obey you, be it monster thieves or barbarians. Even your current subordinates will think that as long as they control the army, they can do whatever they want. , you can still suppress it when you are alive, but once you die or decline, the world will inevitably be divided again and war will return. Doesn't it mean that only monsters and thieves want to cause chaos? Don't people like Sima Guobo not want this of yours? Unrealistic ideas are destined to be impossible to realize in your lifetime. This is why I refused to work for you back then!
Liu Yu said coldly:
"On the one hand, you have your own ideals, but on the other hand, you succumb to these so-called fait accompli and don't want to change it. This is the pitiful thing about you literati. You attribute the death and pain of your family members in the war to me. However, I don’t think about it. As long as the disputes in the world are still there and as long as the world cannot be reunified and the selfish ambitions of those in power are not found and the selfish ambitions of those in power are not found, and the path of equality for all and harmony in the world is not followed, then this kind of tragedy will continue to happen. Back then, Before the Qin Dynasty went south, Jingzhou was also facing war. If we hadn't won the Battle of Feishui and defeated the Qin army, I'm afraid you, the Tao family, would have suffered heavy casualties in that war. I, Liu Yu, was not the one who started it. The war brought disaster to your family, but it was because of our hard work that the disaster was more than 20 years late for your Tao family. Since your Tao Gong is a well-educated and sensible person and a famous person in the world, how can you do this!" The muscles on Tao Yuanming's face twitched and the corners of his mouth twitched. He changed the topic and sneered: "Liu Yu, I won't discuss this with you. The military situation is urgent now and I don't have time to talk to you so clearly. The facts now are yours." The army is far away in the horizon and cannot come back. With your suspicious tactics, Jiankang City can only support ten or twenty thousand soldiers and horses. It is impossible to defend Jiankang with these newly defeated troops and a mob. Meng Pushe, you had been opposed to driving north because you thought Liu Yu would definitely be able to bring his army back in time. Meng Chang sighed softly: Yes, I thought Liu Yu's army would definitely kill him in times of crisis. Coming back was just like when he led thousands of soldiers and horses from Haiyan City, marched thousands of miles, and arrived at Jingkou in three days. However, I really didn't expect that this time he came back, but the army was not there.
Liu Yu said in a deep voice:
"There are hundreds of thousands of civilians in Jiankang City. The defenders in places like Liyang and Jingkou, plus the defenders of Jiankang, number about 20,000 to 30,000. In addition, we recruit strong men from the common people to make up a total of five Thousands of troops can defend Jiankang for several months. Yanda, you are also a battle-hardened person. Back then, you also watched me rush to the aid of Jingkou. In that battle, I mainly relied on the elders of Jingkou, but I was able to defeat ten soldiers. Were there tens of thousands of monster thieves? It was possible back then. Why did they lose confidence this time? Meng Chang gritted his teeth:
"Because this time is different. Back then, you were guarding Jingkou. Even if you lost, the emperor in Jiankang City had time to evacuate. But this time, if you don't leave now, it will be too late. If your army doesn't come, Then it would be better to take the emperor and cross the river quickly to join your army in the north of the Yangtze River. At this point, Meng Chang paused. You can remove the defenders of Liyang because you feel that you cannot defend Liyang. , and such dispersion of troops is a taboo for military strategists. Why do you have to be so stubborn when you switch to Jiankang? I originally considered this issue of military morale, but I pinned my hope on your army's return reinforcements. Since your army If you are not here, you cannot be stubborn and stubborn. It is better to let the disciples of the aristocratic family go back to Wu to recruit troops and resist in the south of the Yangtze River, while we protect your majesty as he goes north across the river, to the north of the Yangtze River, to Qingzhou, to join your army and then pursue other strategies. Liu Yuleng He said coldly:
"Yanda, you are so confused. As I said just now, what we are facing now is not only a group of demon thieves, but also the tigers and wolves of Hou Qin who are watching from the side. If we show any weakness and powerlessness, not only the demon thieves will If we pursue us, even the Hou Qin army will take advantage of the chaos to pounce on us." This time, the demon thieves did not even care about Liu Daogui's army in Jingzhou cutting off their retreat. The whole army marched eastward just to fight us. Do you think We will be safe as soon as we reach Jiangbei. Xu Daofu is afraid that he will not even enter Jiankang and will keep pursuing Jiangbei. If we can't even defend a strong city like Jiankang, then where else can we defend it? This place in Jiangbei and these distances cannot delay the recovery of the army at all.
When the time comes, the Qiang thieves attack our Qingzhou, and the monster thieves go north and sweep across the six counties in Jiangbei. Although the world is huge, where is our place?
Meng Chang said sharply:
"In this case, we have to make a difficult choice. Although Later Qin's request is rude, we have to consider that Sima Guobo and Sima Chuzhi need not be pardoned, but for the sake of national justice, Queen Wang temporarily surrendered to Later Qin to become a monk. It is not impossible to consider becoming a hostage in the name of studying the Fa. Madam Xie, since you brought Tao Yuanming directly into the palace today, I am afraid you have already made this difficult decision." Sima Dewen widened his eyes and shouted sternly road:
"How can this be so absolutely impossible! Queen Wang is the daughter-in-law of our Jin Dynasty and my sister-in-law. She became a monk and sent the queen to the enemy country as a hostage. This is a great shame and humiliation that has not been seen in thousands of years. Once this happened, So what’s the difference between the Yang Xianrong of our Jin Dynasty and that of the Western Dynasty? If I don’t agree to kill him, I won’t agree either!” Meng Chang said coldly:
"Your Highness King Lang, this is a small meeting where the officials were persuaded to leave aside the court. We don't have to be pretentious here. The person who wants Queen Wang to leave the most is you, isn't it? If she is not here, the jade seal will return again. If you take charge, Your Majesty will take care of you. You are the one who wants her to leave all day long.
