"Brother King Chu, now that the battle has failed, Thief Xiang is also choking, thinking that we are not as good as..."
After Yao Guangxiao's suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his thoughts directly at the subsequent three-person meeting, leaving Liu Xiu to concentrate on fighting a defensive battle against the Jin army.
"Brother King Chu, now I may not be able to protect Yue Fei with the strength of our three parties. Fortunately, there are still people outside Hulao Pass..." Zhu Yuanzhang continued to suggest.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's suggestion was essentially to allow Liu Xiu to consume more of the Jin army's power. That's what I think, but I can't say it when I say it.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang can only rely on this method to delay time and wait for the situation at Hulao Pass to turn around.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also proposed that they should now defend Nanjun with all their strength to delay the Jin army, and first deal with Xiang Yu, the clown!
Speaking of which, if Xiang Yu, the clown, hadn't been there in this battle, why would they have ended up in this situation! If Xiang Yu hadn't been causing trouble behind them, they wouldn't have been impatient at all. If they hadn't been impatient, how could they have fallen into the Jin army's scheme so easily!
"What King Jiaozhou said makes sense!" Liu Xiu nodded in agreement.
Could it be that Liu Xiu really couldn't see what Zhu Yuanzhang was planning behind this? No, of course not.
However, Liu Xiu now had no choice. He can't just give up Jingbei, give up his ambitions, or even choose to surrender directly to the Jin army! Of course Liu Xiu couldn't do this!
And with his strength, he was unable to fight the Jin army head-on, so insisting on defending became the best choice, and perhaps the only choice!
It is precisely because of this that even though he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted him to weaken the Jin army, he still had no choice but to accept it.
"King of Jiaozhou, General Yang, now the Jin and Xiang armies are eyeing the two of them..." On the surface, he accepted Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, but the next moment, Liu Xiu once again asked for help from these two people, asking them to join him. Great support for Jingbei.
With the current strength of the coalition of princes in Jingbei, if they want to defeat Yue Fei and repel the Jin army, they can only hope to further invest in external forces!
"Brother King Chu, our two families have a close relationship. Brother, you have something to ask of me today, so I naturally have to help you with all my resources. However, the thieves in Shanyue in the south of Yangzhou are still determined to cause turmoil again, and Japanese troops also appear in the Yangtze River. I But he is powerless!" As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang even clasped his fists in shame and saluted.
However, no matter how much Zhu Yuanzhang acted, Liu Xiuna didn't want to believe a word of Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
Of course, just as Liu Xiu thought, Zhu Yuanzhang's words were pure nonsense and he was just looking for an excuse to block Liu Xiu's side.
Over the years, Shanyue has been bullied quite miserably by Zhu Yuanzhang. Unless he is so poor that he can no longer survive, he will not easily come out to cause trouble again.
As for the appearance of Japanese soldiers on the Yangtze River, that is even more untrue. Oda Nobunaga was stubborn and just provoked the first prince. How could he possibly go after the second prince?
Moreover, with Zhu Yuanzhang's strength, he might chase Japan to recover the situation in the future. How could Oda Nobunaga provoke such a group of princes!
This is just that Zhu Yuanzhang borrowed the names of a wave of these people after Jin Yiwei reported back the situation in Xuzhou!
Speaking of the Japanese army, after learning about the atrocities of these people from the Jinyiwei news, Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intention was inevitably stimulated by these people again!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to really support Liu Xiu again! In this battle, he had mobilized many troops for Liu Xiu, and even more so, he had lost many troops and generals!
After this battle, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to expand his army again while recruiting the troops and horses lost this time. After all, once the Jin army really takes Jingbei, his Yangzhou will have to face the Jin army's front.
This battle has already reached this level. How could Zhu Yuanzhang be willing to continue to invest more in this big pit!
Liu Xiu knew that these were just his excuses, but he saw through them without telling them. Even if Liu Xiu knew that these were all false and just a reason for Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with him casually, he still couldn't say it openly.
If the relationship between the two princes is stalemate at this time, it will be Liu Xiu who suffers the big loss in the end!
"Don't worry, King Chu. I will ask my lord for instructions now. The King of Chu and my lord are both members of the Han Dynasty. I believe that my lord will not refuse King Chu's request for help!" After Zhu Yuanzhang, Yang Su took his time. The ground spoke.
If Liu Xiu asks for help, just ask for help. Yang Su doesn't take this matter too seriously at all. The final decision-making power does not belong to him anyway! Even if Liu Xiu asked for help, in the end it would be Liu Che's troops that would be used, and only Liu Che could make the final decision!
Therefore, Yang Su doesn't mind saying something nice, but the final meaning is also very obvious. He is only responsible for helping to relay it. As for the final decision, it is not up to him!
In fact, in Yang Su's view, the final result was the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's, and it was impossible for Liu Che to send troops a second time.
Liu Che is not someone who has been taken advantage of, so he really invested in Jingbei regardless of the cost!
Liu Che sent Yang Su to lead 100,000 barbarians to support Jingbei. Although there were some ideas behind it, the soldiers and horses sent were real.
Moreover, Liu Che sent out more than these 100,000 barbarians. Xu Shiji and Zhou Yafu now each led 100,000 troops to contain Bai Qi and Su Lie in Yongliang.
Liu Che had already put in so much effort in this battle, but now Liu Xiu was treating them as enemies and wanted them to put in more effort again. Who would be willing to do such a thing?
After hearing the answers from these two people, although he felt helpless, Liu Xiu could only express his understanding and gratitude.
He didn't know that asking for help this time would have no good results, but he still had no choice but to speak. Even though the possibility is slim, there is still a chance if you ask for help. If you don’t ask for help, you really don’t have the slightest chance!
………………………
"Damn it!" After Zhu Yuanzhang and Yang Su walked out of the tent and gradually walked away, Liu Xiu punched the table with a heavy fist and roared in a low voice. If the situation hadn't been so compelling, how could Liu Xiu have fallen to this level?
"Lord!" Liao Li, Liu Ye and others all entered the tent.
"Lord, Ye has a plan!" After listening to Liu Xiu's account of what had just happened, he looked around the tent and confirmed that the people in the tent were now Liu Xiu's confidants. He spoke loudly.
