Chapter 459: Weighing the Pros and Cons of the Heavenly Master

Liu Yu instinctively wanted to argue about something again, but after thinking about it, Xie Xuan, as the commander of the whole army, was willing to explain so patiently in the face of such a most ordinary soldier as himself, if it weren't for his special relationship with him, it would be unimaginable to change to anyone else, even Liu Gaozhi.

And although Xie Xuan didn't say it thoroughly, the meaning was already very clear, letting Heavenly Master Dao join this decisive battle was not the intention of the Xie family, but from other families, and even the pressure of Sima Daozi, the king of Huiji, Sun Tai had already hooked up with Sima Daozi, as well as other high-ranking families like Wang Guobao who had always been interested in taking the status of metabolizers, and became their spokesmen in the army.

Since the southern invasion of Qin, Xie Xuan, as the commander, first took the initiative to give up a large area of land in Huaibei, and then wanted to let Huan Yi enter Shouchun to consume the Qin army by marriage, these two plans have not been realized, and the current battlefield situation is very unfavorable for the Jin army, although he has spoken loudly, it seems that hundreds of thousands of Qin troops can be wiped out when they talk and laugh, but the soldiers are in danger, and the battlefield may change at any time, just like the battle of Shouchun, he is also full of confidence, but when he really fights, A small deviation may reverse the outcome of the victory, this time if the surprise attack is unfavorable, then the Xie family is likely to be in a slump with the national situation of the Jin Dynasty, even if it can barely keep a moment of peace by relying on the river, it will definitely be replaced by other families.

It is common sense in the art of war to think about defeat before the general, and Xie An Xie Xianggong, who is in a high position and has been in power for decades in the empire, it is impossible to put all his hopes on this battle, and balancing the interests of all parties is something he needs to consider. At this time, allowing the ambitious Heavenly Master Dao to join the battle must be the result of his and Xie Xuan's careful consideration, and he can only obey, and it is impossible to change this decision.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu took a deep breath and said, "Xuan Shuai, I reserve my opinion, but obey your orders. This time the tiger troops attacked, will the people in the Heavenly Master Dao also accompany them? ”

Xie Xuan nodded: "More than two thousand disciples such as Sun En of the Heavenly Master Dao have already arrived in the army an hour ago, and when you saw Murong Lan, they also entered the camp at the same time, and this time they will be used as the same sharp knife elite as the Tiger Army, and they will be used on the most critical battlefield." Xiaoyu, do you understand what I mean? ”

Liu Yu's eyes lit up: "Xuan Shuai, do you want to use this way to make the people of the Heavenly Master Dao unable to play tricks?" Being at the forefront at the same time as the Tiger forces puts an end to the possibility of them doing bad things in the back like last time, either winning together or destroying them together, right? ”

Xie Xuan smiled slightly: "Jinu, you have made great progress, and you have begun to think about things outside the battlefield." Yes, the Beifu Army was formed by my Xie family, and it will also become an army to maintain the status of our Xie family in the future, the Tiger Army is the first-class elite in the Beifu Army, and it concentrates the best soldiers of the Great Jin, whether it is for the interests of our family or the interests of the country, it cannot be easily lost, if the Tiger Army is lost, it will be difficult for the Beifu Army to maintain it anymore. ”

"But if this battle is really unfavorable, our bottom line is not to let other families, especially Wang Guobao, Sima Daozi, and even people like Sun Tai take the opportunity to seize power. It's not that my Xie family is greedy for power, but the national crisis is at the head, and we must not let the power fall on these villains and harm the country and the people. Even if the Jingzhou Huan clan is in power, it can't let a greedy and incompetent villain like Wang Guobao steal a high position, in that case, even half of Jiangnan can't be saved. ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Wang Guobao doesn't have his own army, all he can rely on is these demons of the Heavenly Master Dao, if they are also defeated and lost in this battle, then Wang Guobao will not be able to take away your military power, and the Great Jin still has room for redemption, right?" ”

Xie Xuan nodded: "Yes, it stands to reason that Wang Guobao is reluctant to do this, but Sun Tai is an ambitious person, he wants to make meritorious contributions and lay the foundation for the further development and growth of the Heavenly Master Dao in the Great Jin Dynasty in the future, so he tried his best to fight, and even took the initiative to ask Sima Daozi, originally Sima Daozi thought that he was coming to the front line to do Dharma and pray for the soldiers, but before he set off, he secretly met Lord Xianggong, saying that the purpose of the Heavenly Master Dao is to make meritorious contributions, please give them a chance." ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Could it be that they are going to use some means to deliberately say this?" ”

Xie Xuan shook his head: "Now in this situation, it is impossible to use any more means. And they don't know our plan now, then Sun Tai said, Sun En also told me when he came to the camp, any orders will be carried out, if you can sacrifice your life for the country this time, the Heavenly Master Dao will be regarded as a soldier to ascend to immortals, for every believer, it is a supreme glory, and they all wear black and white clothes to fight, it can be said that they are ready to die, this, I can see from their eyes. ”

Liu Yu remembered the situations he had had with the Heavenly Master Sect in a short period of time, and remembered the terrible light in the eyes of those fanatical religious believers, and sighed: "This kind of cult can really demagogue, make people not afraid of life and death, and with a little kindness, you can include thousands of village husbands and foolish women in it, and be willing to die for it." If Dajin can survive this catastrophe, Xuan Shuai must report to the Prime Minister and impose more restrictions on him. ”

Xie Xuan nodded: "That's after the war, this battle still has to give full play to their advantages, the people in the Heavenly Master Dao do not have heavy armor and long lances, but they are good at stabbing, fast and flexible, in the skirmishing fight, they can play a great advantage, this time to attack Luojian, you have to work together, as the vanguard of the tiger troops to brave the enemy's arrows, to create a position on the beachhead, to cover the follow-up troops to kill, once the formation of a short hand, let the people of the Heavenly Master Dao fully impact, spread out the formation, and directly take the generals of the enemy's various armies, Defeat their command, in the night battle, once the command is not effective, then the whole army will be passive, this is our chance to win, understand? ”

Liu Yu said: "I understand, but this matter should be ordered by Liu Yingyang as a general, if Sun En is still leading the team this time, Liu Yingyang should give him an order." ”

Xie Xuan shook his head, took out a white token from his arms, handed it to Liu Yu, and said: "The prison has his selfish intentions, if he is allowed to give the order, it is likely that he will directly let the people of the Heavenly Master Dao take the lead, if more than 2,000 people are sent to death, the corpses will block the way of our army's advance, send slaves, I only have to believe in you now, this is the token that Sun Tai secretly gave us, Sun En will only recognize this card and act, will you let me down?" ”
