Liu Yu sighed softly: Tao Yuanming, Tao Yuanming, do you think too much of others and are incompetent? If I am not sure of defeating the demon thief, or even repelling the Qin army that attacks at the same time, how dare I do this? What about returning to Jiankang alone? Maybe you think that if our Jin Dynasty does not rely on the Qin army to rescue us, Jiankang will be captured by demon thieves, but I don't think so. 「
Tao Yuanming's expression changed: "What's going on? Do you still have a way to defend Jiankang? It's ridiculous! Just rely on an army of ten or twenty thousand?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "Strength and weakness are temporary, and the number of armies can also be changed at any time. When the demon bandits raised their troops, they only had an army of about 40,000 when they left Lingnan. Why is there an army of nearly 200,000 now? No. Is it just over a year?! They can do it, why can’t we?!
Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "Winning against the bandits cannot be achieved by bragging. The bandits won many battles in a row and occupied a large territory, so many soldiers and horses of the Jin Dynasty joined them. Many bandits and bandits also joined them. If you want to make the army fight more and more, you have to defeat them head-on. But the demon thieves' victory at that time was to defeat our legions one by one. Each time, they used the masses to defeat the few and the strong to bully the weak. Now that they are united, they are all When the army comes, how can you be stronger than them?!
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Tao Yuanming, you don't know the art of war. I won't explain this to you. After all, this is a military aircraft. You are not an official of this dynasty. Strictly speaking, you are still the messenger of the Later Qin Dynasty. What about these military secrets?" Can I disclose it to you casually? All you need to understand is that as the highest military officer in the country, I, Liu Yu, am returning to Jiankang in person at this time. Naturally, I have the confidence to defeat the enemy, and I also have a good strategy to defeat the thieves.
Meng Chang sighed: "Jinu, don't hold on, it's pointless. You have been fond of gambling like this since you were a child. Taking risks is just a matter of risking your life. If you have an army of 50,000, you can indeed afford to gamble, but now you can't One soldier at a time, and the Qin army and the demon thieves are attacking the border at the same time, we must at least deal with it first. If the Qin army also attacks Jiangbei or Qingzhou, then we will not even have the chance to withdraw the wounded and sick divisions in Jiangbei, so I suggest you take it seriously. Please consider Hou Qin's suggestion carefully. If it doesn't work, you should first aggrieve the Queen.
Having said this, Meng Chang looked at Xie Daoju as if asking for help: "Madam, you understand the righteousness well and understand the general principles. When Queen Wang became a monk twice and became a queen, she also obeyed your orders. It can be said that it was for To protect the Xie family, today, with the national crisis at the forefront, the Qin State made this request. It seemed rude, but it was still just to force the slaves to submit, because they also knew very well that only the slaves had lost the help of the queen's jade seal. Only then did he truly lose control of the court, and was forced to accept the consequences of leaving his home in Jiangbei and defending the border. "
Xie Hun sighed: "Liu Marshal, don't tell secret words in front of the public. You also know that the Qin army's target this time is you. All the excuses are just to force Miaoyin to be a hostage. Back then, Miaoyin was kidnapped to Jiangling by Huan Xuan. At that time, we did not give up discussing Huan Xuan because of this. This time you attacked Nanyan, and you did not retreat because of Murong Lan. Even if Miaoyin temporarily succumbed to the Qiang thieves, they would not dare to really take Miaoyin. How about it. After we get through this crisis, we can find a way to get back the wonderful sound from the Qiang thieves.
Having said this, he paused for a moment. As for the jade seal in Miaoyin's hand, it will be in charge of the aunt. She will temporarily manage the Sixth Palace as the Queen Mother instead of Miaoyin. You can still discuss the important matter with your aunt to survive this time. Isn’t it the best way to deal with the crisis and take a long-term approach?
Liu Yu listened to these words quietly without saying a word. It was not until Xie Hun finished speaking that he looked at Xu Xianzhi: "Xianzhi, what do you think?"
Xu Xianzhi frowned deeply and sighed: "The current situation is not very good. If the demon thief is an evil tiger, then the Qiang thief is also a group of hungry wolves. They all take this opportunity to harm us. We can only concentrate our efforts. Regarding one aspect, although Queen Wang’s choice to become a monk and become a hostage was humiliating, I also felt that this was probably the only way to break the situation.
Liu Yu sighed softly. Everyone, do you think that when I rushed back to Jiankang with only a dozen generals, I didn't know that the Qin army was pressing the border? Do you think that when I was considering victory or defeat, I didn't take this into account? Are layer factors taken into account? "
Everyone's expressions changed. Tao Yuanming sneered and said, "Liu Yu, you don't have to talk nonsense here. What's the point?"
What a strategy to defeat the enemy. If you have the ability, tell me now. If everyone believes it, they will naturally believe you!
Liu Yu looked at Tao Yuanming calmly and said, "Trouble you, King Langke and Shangshu Xie, Shangshu Xu should go out first. This involves top military secrets, it's not trivial!"
Sima Dewen's eyes widened and he said dissatisfied: "Why, do you even want to hide this from me? Marshal Liu, I have been supporting you just now and opposed handing over Queen Wang."
Liu Yu saluted: "I have wronged the king, but this matter involves military affairs. The king is not good at these things, so it is better to avoid them for the time being, and...
Having said this, he paused and looked at Xie Hun and Xu Xianzhi: "I still need you two to help me take good care of this Mr. Tao. After we make a decision, I will have a good chat with him.
Xu Xianzhi smiled and made an outward gesture to Tao Yuanming: "Please, Mr. Tao, we just need to wait outside for the results. Once the results are available, you can reply to Kumarajiva."
Tao Yuanming gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeves, and walked out angrily. Xie Hun wanted to say something, but Xie Daoti glanced at him, and he quickly swallowed his words, bowed and left, Sima De Wen Ye could only follow Xie Hun unwillingly and leave. When passing by Meng Chang, he glared at Meng Chang hatefully, and then walked quickly. Soon, only Liu Yu, Xie Daoji and Meng Chang were left in the hall. .
The candlelight was swaying gently. Liu Yu walked to the imperial steps in front of the dragon chair and sat down. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm exhausted after coming all the way. Please let me sit down."
Xie Daoti sighed softly, Xiaoyu, you ran back with all your strength this time, it was really hard. I received the news the day before yesterday that you were still in the lower house. It took just over a day for you to show up. Being here really surprised me. 「
Liu Yu shook his head: "But I was even more surprised. Even you and Yanda would agree to hand over Miaoyin. With your wisdom, can't you see that if we really hand over the person, the Qin army will send a large number of troops to attack me?"
