Yu Yue patted his chest confidently: "Our Yu family has thousands of hectares of fertile land in Wudi, hundreds of manors, and hundreds of thousands of slaves. Our annual grain output can reach more than four million shi, let alone tens of thousands of people. An army of 300,000 can be supplied for two to three years. We have already settled this account, so I took the road of joining the army, but..."

At this point, Yu Yue frowned: "Jingzhou is too far away from Wu. It would take a long time for our Yu family to gather the food and grass and then transport them here. I don't know if it will delay the military situation." , and another one is that the demon thieves still occupy the river. How to transport our food and grass is another big problem. Moreover, transporting so much food and grass requires a lot of manpower. When the court sees this scene, won't it? Are you suspicious? Will it give Liu Yu a reason to target me again? "

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Then if Yu Gong informs the family in Wu now, let them prepare 500,000 stones of grain and grass to transport, and then bring over 8,000 men, these men will be considered as people who can be armed into an army when they are in place. Then bring one or two thousand craftsmen over to build ordnance, and also bring enough raw materials to make 10,000 sets of leather armors and 5,000 sets of iron armors, is it possible?"

Yu Yue touched his long beard and said: "These problems are not big, because when I was still fighting guerrillas in Jiangzhou, I had already prepared these through people in my hometown, because at that time I had to prepare for the fall of Jiankang, and they We were ready to defend Wudi. At that time, Xie Hun, Xi Sengshi and I exchanged some letters. We had agreed that the family would withdraw from Wudi and negotiate with Tianshi Dao, so we were secretly gathering strength. , and this was also a great opportunity to take back the power of the government from the Qiu Bamen of the Beifu Army. Unfortunately, all this was ruined after Liu Yu returned to Jiankang. Now that he has defended Jiankang, Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi's plan went bankrupt. , we even have to worry about holding Liu Yu accountable."

Tao Yuanming nodded: "I know all this. We had a quarrel at the court meeting at that time. Meng Chang and Xu Xianzhi wanted to move the court and the emperor to Jiangbei to join Liu Yu, while Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi tried their best to bring the court and the emperor to Liu Yu. When the emperor went to Wu, there was a huge quarrel between the two sides, and Liu Yu suddenly came. Alas, there was a strong wind, lightning and thunder. Liu Yu was wearing armor, soaked to the skin, with water droplets, and when he stepped onto the hall with his sword pressed all the way, I still remember the scene that shocked everyone when the **** descended to earth. I can only say that this is fate."

Speaking of this, Tao Yuanming's eyes flashed with a look of despair, and his face turned gloomy: "However, in the entire court at that time, I was the only one who dared to confront Liu Yu head-on. Neither Meng Chang, Xu Xianzhi nor Xie Hunxi Sengshi dared to insist on their own opinions. However, just because of this, I was almost accused of being a spy of the Later Qin Dynasty and executed on the spot. If it hadn't been for Meng Chang Later, it was announced that I was guarding the Black Hand Qiankun, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to pass the test so easily.”

Yu Yue sighed: "So, you have to be soft when you should be soft. Last time, I let you Tao Gong pass the test, but this time, you followed Xu Daofu's army to Jingzhou. It's not so easy to explain."

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "I have my own plans, so don't worry about me, Mr. Yu. Only if you form an army and achieve good results can I have a chance to escape guilt. Just now you said that with so many resources and manpower, It’s not that easy to come to Jingzhou, and I agree with this, so my suggestion to you is, don’t stay in Jingzhou, but go to Yuzhou, where we will take over these troops and form an army.”

Yu Yue's expression changed: "Go to Yuzhou? Isn't that Liu Yi's territory? When I go there, won't I be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth? When Liu Yi returns to Yuzhou, even if he doesn't take the opportunity to harm me, my troops, supplies, and Ding Zhuang will definitely be annexed by him."

Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "Believe me, Mr. Yu, there is no possibility of Liu Yi returning to Yuzhou. You are the safest in Yuzhou."

Yu Yue shook his head in disbelief: "I would like Mr. Tao to explain clearly how to say this."

Tao Yuanming said seriously: "Liu Yi has been operating in Yuzhou for many years, and at the same time he also planted a secret underground army in Jiankang. He just thought that if the world changes, he can mobilize his subordinates in the capital and use the Yuzhou army as his successor to attack Jiankang." Kang, seizing power is also his confidence to compete with Liu Yu, so the Tianshi Dao Rebellion is his best opportunity. If he defeats the demon thieves in Sangluo State, he can use the excuse that there are demon thieves and Tiandao in the capital. The rebellion launched by the alliance, dispatched his underground troops, and united with Meng Chang to control the overall situation. However, these things are no longer possible. Now he only has an underground army in the capital, more than 10,000 people, and he also lost some in the Battle of Jiankang. , look for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com The current number of soldiers is less than 10,000. The most important thing is that this army is rootless, has no food or ammunition, and no source of supply troops. "

"As for Yuzhou, because Liu Tingyun was familiar with the location of all Liu Yi's secret strongholds and left behind troops, after the demon thieves occupied Yuzhou, all these secret strongholds were discovered and either fell into the hands of Tianshi Dao or were transported by Liu Tingyun They have already taken possession of it. In short, they have nothing to do with Liu Yi. Instead, they are bandits from all over Yuzhou. The troops are constantly defeated. After Tianshi Dao retreats, these people will wander around and cause chaos. Even if they fail, they will retreat to Changshe in northwest Henan. In this area, go to Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi, so Yuzhou is now a hot commodity and no one will be willing to take over."

"As for Liu Yi, the best way for him to quickly expand his army and regain his strength is to pursue the Tianshi Dao. Once he wins, it will not only restore his reputation, but also allow him to capture a large number of Tianshi Dao tribesmen. Back then, When he conquered Huanxuan in the west, he started with less than 10,000 troops. After destroying Huanchu, he alone had 50,000 troops. He did this by capturing the Chu army. It was also because he pursued the enemy The defeated army captured a large number of subordinates, and took the opportunity to absorb many stragglers, so he had the capital to challenge Liu Yu."

Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "That means we have to compete with him for the position of general in the pursuit battle? I'm afraid I can't compete with Liu Yi. Now I'm a bare-bones general, even if you add what you can bring. Luo Longsheng's unit has only a thousand men and a small army. If I wait until my more than ten thousand strong men are in place and then trained and equipped to form an army, I am afraid that all the demon thieves will have been wiped out. And even if I have more than 10,000 troops, I am afraid that I will not be able to form a combat force within half a year, and I will not be able to serve as the main force or the vanguard to pursue the demon thieves."
