Tan Daoji's lips curled up: "Then what if we fight here and the black-robed Tiandao Alliance takes the opportunity to seize Jiangling? Listen to you, they have the ability to sneak attack Jiangling. Think about Huan back then. After Xuan's defeat, the long history and generals in Jiangling City killed Huan Chu's officials, switched sides, and even killed Huan Xuan's five-year-old son Huan Sheng to show their loyalty. Later, when Huan Zhen counterattacked Jiangling, he also We succeeded with the help of internal agents. These are lessons learned from the past."
Liu Daogui nodded and said seriously: "Yes, but the situation at that time was different from now. Everyone in Jingzhou at that time knew that Huan Chu would be defeated, so Wang Changshi and others' defection and surrender may not be the work of the Tiandao Alliance. As for Huan Zhen, he relied on a small number of dead soldiers to counterattack Jiangling, and he also needed external military support to succeed. If there was no external support, just rely on these spies in Jiangling City. If they had the ability to seize the city, they would have been there long ago during my years in Jiangling. It started."
Tan Zhi suddenly understood and said: "In other words, unless Xu Daofu's army wins this battle and then approaches Jiangling, it is possible to seize Jiangling City. And in the absence of external aid, even if there is internal support in Jiangling City, Don’t dare to act rashly.”
Fu Hongzhi laughed: "That must be the case. Think about the battle of Jiankang. If Xu Daofu's army hadn't walked through the waterway and suddenly appeared in Nantang, that Doupeng would not have dared to cause trouble in the city. Today's This battle is just like the battle of Jiankang City, and now we are going to do what the brothers who guarded Nantang did. Right, Brother Daogui."
Liu Daogui laughed and said, "Yes, that's it. Even when we first established Jingkou, the army rose up and defeated the two elite groups of the Chu army. When they reached Fuzhou Mountain, the aristocratic families in the city also began to turn against them. We, without foreign aid, it would be difficult for these people to succeed. But this time, Xu Daofu has become rebellious against Heipao, and now he wants to betray Heipao."
Tan Daoji curled up his lips: "Xu Daofu is a person who refuses to be inferior to others. It is estimated that over the years, he has been yelled at by the Tiandao League, and he has long had a big complaint in his heart. But this time, when he came, he was The raid plan went bankrupt, and now we are facing our army, and there is going to be a decisive battle. Secondly, even if he wins, his vitality will be severely damaged, and Jiangling will fall into the hands of the black robe instead of him, so he would rather betray it. This black robe, if he tells us that the Tiandao Alliance still exists, he doesn’t want to join forces with the black robe to deal with us anymore.”
Tan Zhi frowned slightly: "Could it be that this black robe doesn't exist at all? It's just his words from beginning to end? He just wants to trick us into leaving Jingzhou, or even take the opportunity to make a sneak attack from behind."
Liu Daogui shook his head: "This is unlikely. Xu Daofu is a soldier and a general. This kind of espionage is not what he is good at. Even when he attacked Jiankang, it was Doupeng who was doing tricks in the city, otherwise he wouldn't even know Qin Huai If we don’t know the watercourse of the river, how can we talk about a surprise attack on Nantang? All the information and informants of Tianshi Dao depend on the Tiandao Alliance. We have to admit this fact. If we lose this reliance on intelligence, Tianshi Dao will not be able to survive. How to be controlled by the Tiandao Alliance?"
Tan Daoji nodded: "Then what should we do now? Do we need to allocate some troops to defend Jiangling, or should we tell Wang Changshi and Dezu the news and ask them to take more precautions?"
Liu Daogui pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "I don't think this is necessary, because such moles are impossible to guard against, but their number cannot be too many, just like Li Lang, judging from how he led the way later, It's just that he rebelled alone. The two thousand soldiers left behind in Jiangling City are enough to control the situation in the city. If there is no external enemy to support them, they will not be lost. Besides, Jiangling City is now recruiting young men to join the army to defend the city. , the strength will be further strengthened, and we do not need to divide our troops to defend it."
"Furthermore, Zhu Chaoshi's troops will land from Jiangling very soon. If they hurry up, they can come here to support us. With him here, the humble people in Jiangling City will not dare to launch. If the black robe is really Regardless of life and death, if you personally direct the rebellion in the city, you might be captured by Zhu Chaoshi."
Yanzhi's eyes widened, with a trace of envy in his eyes: "There is such a good thing, wouldn't it be cheaper for Xiao Shitou? No, Brother Daogui, you are too partial. If you had known, you would have asked me to stay in Jiangling City. .”
Liu Daogui smiled and patted Yanzhi on the shoulder: "Yanzhi, I am partial to you, that's why I brought you to fight in this battle. Gains on the battlefield are better than suppressing rebellion in the city. Look at the other side , then there are at least 30,000 heads, and they are all veteran thieves, isn’t it enough for you to kill?”
When Yanzhi burst out laughing, the other generals also laughed.
When everyone was about to laugh, Liu Daogui held the commander's flag in his hand and sat back on the commander's seat. His eyes swept across the crowd and said calmly: "Okay, what needs to be said is almost finished. In this battle, regardless of Xu Dao Whatever the plan is, whether or not there is this black robe, or whether Jiangling City is in danger, these are not things we have to consider. What we have to do is win this battle, and it is best to kill Xu Daofu himself. Even if it doesn't work, we must repel them. We must not leave Xu Daofu a chance to camp and fight again. It is best to eliminate him. Even if we cannot do this, we must severely damage this army of demon thieves. On the ground in Jingzhou, we must not Keep them here!”
Tan Daoji nodded: "Understand, once the camp is set up and the stalemate is established, the rear may be unstable. At that time, Xu Daofu may have to cooperate with Heipao."
Liu Daogui said sternly: "This force is the most elite core legion of the demon thieves, and it is also Xu Daofu's old subordinates for many years. Lu Xun's navy fleet suffered heavy losses to us in the last battle of Jiangling, and Xu Daofu's This Marine Corps is the last elite force of Tianshi Dao. As long as we defeat and eliminate them here, when the main force of the big brother's army pursues them, they will be devastated. This is Qingping Plain, and behind us is Jiangling. , it’s Jingzhou, it’s the hundreds of thousands of people in Jingzhou, and after that, it’s the millions of living beings in the entire Jin Dynasty. Whether we can protect them depends on our performance today. I hope you will fight hard. I will fight with you. Everyone, live and die together! Beifu will win!"
All the generals drew their swords together and shouted loudly: "Fight with all your strength, live and die together, Beifu will win!"
Liu Daogui lowered his face with satisfaction and said with bright eyes, "Everyone, go back to your headquarters and prepare to face the enemy!"
