Liu Yu said calmly:
"There are not only our garrison in Qingzhou, but also the surrendered Xianbei people, as well as hundreds of thousands of powerful Han people and the people under their control. Even if the Qin army attacks Qingzhou, these people will organize their own armed forces to fight against it. Those who resist will definitely not surrender without a fight. To be honest, the land of Qilu is a place that is difficult to be conquered by external forces. Since the Yongjia Rebellion, various forces have entered here continuously for more than a hundred years, but they have all There is no real control. Even if Nan Yan has a cooperative relationship with the local Han people, it is more of a cooperative relationship rather than direct rule. I felt particularly special during this year's battle to conquer Yan. Obviously. Xie Dao frowned:
"It's just that since you said that, it's the same for our Dajin. We can't really control the land of Qilu. Liu Yu smiled slightly:
"But after all, Qingzhou is dominated by Han people. They have the same roots and species as us. As long as we deal with the monster thieves, we will have time to slowly stabilize this place. Especially since Qilu is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, there are many nobles. As long as we are willing If we transfer power and let the local powerful people participate in the governance of the local area, then they will sincerely surrender to us sooner or later. After all, the Qin army is a barbaric barbarian, and they do not have absolutely powerful force like the Murong clan. If they really invade the land of Qilu, The local soldiers and civilians will definitely rise up to resist, and the Qin army will only be trapped here, unable to extricate itself, and will never be able to easily capture this place." As for the land in Jiangbei, in fact, in the past few years, we have also moved many tenants from Wudi to it. The strength is not weak. If the Qin army attacks this place, whether it is Zhuge Changmin in Pengcheng or Xiang Mi in Shannan, they can organize enough strength to resist. The Qin army is better at field battles than at siege. If it really wants to attack These fortified cities may not necessarily be defeated. As long as we defeat the demon thieves, we will naturally be free to completely defeat the Qin army in Jiangbei. "In addition, if the Qin army really dares to attack our Qingzhou and Jiangbei with a hundred thousand troops, then we will not make it easy for them. Liu Daogui is a famous general, and he will definitely let Lu Zongzhi lead his troops back to Yongzhou based on this situation. , waiting for an opportunity to attack Luoyang of the Later Qin Dynasty and cut off the Qin army's return route. Once Luoyang falls, the Qin army will be unable to advance and retreat, and the food routes will be poor. Even if there are 100,000 people, it will be difficult to retreat.
Xie Dao breathed a sigh of relief:
"It turns out that you have been prepared for a long time. In terms of military affairs, Xiao Yu, you are really unparalleled in the world. The seemingly dangerous 100,000 Qin army and the heavy troops pressing down on the border were actually able to be resolved like this for you. Liu Yu nodded:
"It is impossible for the Qin army of one hundred thousand to fight here for a long time. Whether it is the Liang forces or Hu Xia Liu Bobo, they are always a serious concern, including the Northern Wei Dynasty, which may send troops to attack them at any time. This one hundred thousand army is the Qin State Once the elites are lost, they may be besieged by powerful enemies around them. Places such as Qingzhou and Yuzhou are not in Qin's interests. It is not like sending out the main elite force to plot these remote places that cannot be firmly controlled. It is a decision made by a mature politician. Having said this, Liu Yu took a deep breath:
"So, I think that Hou Qin's move may have been a test or response at the invitation or instigation of the Tiandao Alliance. The purpose was to help the demon thieves of Tianshi Dao test our true strength. For this test We cannot mess up our position, but must show toughness and confront them with force! If we neither hand over Miaoyin, nor pardon Sima Guobo and Sima Chuzhi, or even actively invite the Qin army to attack the demon thieves, then Not only will the Qin army not attack us, but they will quickly withdraw their troops. Meng Chang raised his brows slightly:
"Then according to your opinion, you still have to reject Qin's conditions face to face, right?" Liu Yu said seriously:
"Yes, but this time the Qin State did not directly threaten us not to attack like the last time we attacked Nanyan, otherwise they would send troops to fight us. This time they at least behaved politely in their credentials, so we don't have to Respond with the same tough attitude as last time. I think we have to thank the Qin State for its kindness. After all, they said they want to help eliminate the demon thieves, but we just want to show that the power of the Jin Dynasty is enough to defeat the demon thieves. It is not necessary. Foreign help, as for Sima Guobo and Sima Chuzhi, they are traitors of the Jin Dynasty. I hope that the Qin State can take the initiative to send them back and stop supporting the Jin rebels, so that we can remember the friendship between the Qin State and the twelve counties of Nanyang in the past. I will no longer pursue the past affairs of the Qin State for sheltering and supporting Huan Qian, sending troops to help Shu to resist our Jin Dynasty king's army, and sending Gou Lin to invade my Jingzhou. I am willing to make peace with the Qin State from now on. Madam, Yanda, you see me like this Reply, is it appropriate? Meng Chang nodded:
"I think this is a good statement. It is soft yet strong, but it is firm in stance. Should I draft this reply myself, or should I leave it to Tao Yuanming to reply? The hidden conditions outside of the credentials, and how should he reply?" Liu Yu said coldly:
"For this point, we need to resolutely fight back. Let's say that Miaoyin is the queen of Jin Dynasty. How can she become a nun and be a hostage in an enemy country? This is an insult to Jin Dynasty. If it were not considered this time When the Qin army takes the initiative to show goodwill, based on this alone, we can directly go to war with the Qin State. As for what they said about the need to promote Buddhism and aiding the Jin State is the will of the Buddha, then we can also give the Buddha a face and let Sima Guobo and Sima Chuzhi, two sinners of the Jin Dynasty, became monks. Aren't they going to send them back? OK, let them study the Dharma with Master Kumarajiva for five years. If they really change their minds, all the four elements will be in vain. Then we are willing to take these two eminent monks back and build a temple for them in Jiankang for them to carry out religious rituals, and thousands of their subordinates can also follow them into Buddhism to do what they have done to the border people of Jin Dynasty in recent years. To atone for his sins. Xie Daoju couldn’t help laughing:
"Xiao Yu, I never thought you could think of such a harsh and mean response, but it's so reasonable and reasonable. I really want to applaud you." Liu Yu smiled slightly:
"This is not the Kumarajiva who was forced by these thieves. I have seen it with my own eyes. It is indeed difficult to deal with. He uses this kind of Buddhism and the banner of saving all sentient beings to set off our cruelty and warlikeness and bring trouble to the world. There are really many foolish village women who will believe this, so I will do the opposite for him and let him take these traitors into Buddhism and become disciples to see what else he has. Talk!
