Chapter 201 It's time to talk

Before Liu Yu could respond to Shicheng's request for help, and Wang Mi, who stayed behind Jiankang, with the cooperation of Sima Zun and others, received the news of Jingzhou army into Jiankang.

Jiankang is gone, so the next one is obviously Yangzhou. Is there any way out?

Liu Yu has no time to hate Wang Mi, a villain. Now he has to reconsider his future way out. At this time, the news of the loss of the Shicheng camp was also delivered.

One after another, Liu Yu was a little numb. Sitting behind the handsome case, his eyes were erratic and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The situation has developed until now, and Liu Muzhi has no idea. According to the current situation, only a strange soldier suddenly appears, which may delay the strong Jingzhou army. Where can he go to find such a man?

The State of Qin and the State of Yan have an army, but the emperors of these two countries have fought with each other. Obviously, it is impossible to offend the increasingly powerful Lu Qiang for such a force that is about to be eliminated.

Who else wants to be scolded as a traitor by Lu Qiang? Isn't indulgence the best example! If Liu Yu sends people to these two countries for help, it is estimated that the army will have to disintegrate by itself.

But do you just do it and wait to die?

Except for Liu Muzhi, Liu Daogui and Meng Huaiyu's cronies, the other officials who defected when he was powerful are basically standing aside. At this time, they are thinking about how to invite favor in front of the emperor. It's already good not to pull Liu Yu's back legs. How dare Liu Yu trust them?

"Let's talk about it! How to fight the next battle?

In addition to Liu Muzhi and Liu Daogui, there is also Zhao Zigui, Liu Yu's confidant general, who was also the first person to follow him.

Liu Muzhi sighed slightly and said, "General, maybe we can talk to Lu Qiang."

Before Liu Yu spoke, Liu Daogui frowned first and said, "It's this time. Will Lu Qiang still talk to us?"

Liu Yu also looked at Liu Muzhi with questioning eyes, yes! Lu Qiang's head is not broken, and he can destroy himself in one fell swoop. What else is there to talk about?

Liu Muzhi said with a wry smile: "My subordinates can only be a living horse doctor. Lu Qiang cherishes the people. After the war in Jiangnan, it is a time when there is an urgent need to rest and recuperation. If we can surrender to him under conditions, we can avoid a lot of damage. I believe this is what Lu Qiang hopes to see."

"Do you want us to surrender to Lu? No, absolutely not, General, I am willing to fight to the death with Lu Qiang"

Zhao Zigui and Tie Zhan, Fan Cheng and others are good friends. Now that these two died under Lu Qiang, how can he not hate Lu Qiang to the bone? So when he heard that Liu Muzhiyao surrendered, he was the first to jump out against it.

Liu Daogui is relatively stable. Although he also feels that Liu Muzhi is a little wishful, he also knows that Liu Muzhi is wise, which must have his reason.

Sure enough, I heard Liu Muzhi continue to say, "If the soldiers are gone, you can recruit again, and if the territory is gone, you can also grab them back. But if you don't even have your life, what hope?"

Liu Muzhi's words have been said to this extent. If Zhao Zigui doesn't understand any more, it can only be said that there is something wrong with his head, but he is still a little unwilling to bow his head to Lu Qiang.

Liu Daogui said to Liu Yu, "General, the words of military divisions can be considered"

How can Liu Yu not know that Liu Muzhi's words make sense? But this transformation is too big, how can it be transformed at once? You should know that he is also a person who is one step away from taking the throne of the emperor!

After a long silence, he said, "Let's go to Daohe!" Let's see what conditions Lu Qiang can offer."

Liu Muzhi knew that this could only be done now. If Lu Qiang did not accept Liu Yu's surrender or the conditions were too harsh, he could only fight to the end. If Lu Qiang could think about the lives of these soldiers, everything would be fine.

Answered, turned around and went out to prepare.

At this time, Lu Qiang's Zhongjun account was full of laughter.

With the victory of Shicheng, Liu Yu's Beifu army has been completely compressed into several cities centered on Guangyang, and Zhang Changzhi's people and horses have also arrived in Lanshi. In addition, He Guangsheng took Jiankang lightly. Liu Yu can be said to be embattled on all sides.

Seeing that the largest hostile forces in Jiangnan will be eliminated, how can Jingzhou civil and military officials not be happy?

However, as a commander, Lu Qiang's vision is no longer limited to eliminating Liu Yu. After nearly two years, he finally has to return to the place that once belonged to himself, but in the past two years, the Jiangnan region has been in frequent wars, which can be said to be a hundred wastes and withered. In any case, it can no longer withstand the war.

So after the elimination of Liu Yu, it is imperative to restore production and improve people's livelihood, and all of this is inseparable from people. However, after the war, a large number of personnel will be lost, and so many people will be there at once?

The battle has been fought so far, and Lu Qiang does not believe that Liu Yu will surrender. At this moment, he is sitting with Wenwu and the ministers to discuss how to carry out this last battle.

Everyone is very good at thinking about Lu Qiang's thoughts, so the idea of the decisive battle is also surprisingly unified, that is, to cut off Liu Yu's grain road, surround him without fighting, and to subduing the soldiers without fighting, so as to minimize casualties.

Lu Qiang really agrees with this strategy, but while besieging the Beifu Army, his own consumption will not be small.

After the war, money and food are needed there. Lu Qiang didn't want to empty his family in a battle. The best way is to fight quickly.

It's just that everyone is right. Once the attack is strong, regardless of the enemy, the casualties will not be small, which is also not what Lu Qiang wants.

While everyone was talking and laughing, Xie Wangzu suddenly interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Zhongjing Wang Qiansui is coming to the front line with many royal clans. I don't know how your majesty is going to settle them?"

Hearing Xie Laofox's words, everyone calmed down. In fact, everyone knew that Lu Qiang had not met the members of the royal family for such a long time, except for Sima Xiuzhi, and Sima Xiuzhi finally betrayed him, so he was less likely to reuse the members of the royal family, but after all, they were all Sima clan, and Lu Qiang could not ignore them. .

Xie Laofox's words just want to know Lu Qiang's attitude. After all, he is also an imperial relative now.

Lu Qiang pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled and said, "The new court is only useful. This is my consistent principle. In addition, many new policies will be promulgated after the elimination of Liu Yu. Don't think nonsense about who it should be? It must not be bad. I advise you to focus more on governance!"

Although Lu Qiang's words were said with a smile, many officials sitting on their backs sweated, knowing that the emperor not only saw through their minds, but also warned them in disguise.

Old Fox Xie is Lu Qiang's father-in-law and is also the most thick-skinned. After listening to Lu Qiang's words, he coughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, please pay attention to your title. Now you are not the original Jing and Jiang Assassin."

The officials have reminded Guoqiang more than once that he should be called lonely, but Lu Qiang is not used to calling himself that at all. So far, it is the first time for the old fox to talk about him face to face.

Lu Qiang was angry, lit Xie Lao Fox and said, "You... You!" I really don't know what to say.

At this moment, the bodyguard quickly ran in: "Report... Liu Yu's military division and Liu Muzhi asked for a meeting"

With the words of the bodyguard, Jingzhou Wenwu, including Lu Qiang, was stunned. It was not until Lu Qiang asked the bodyguard to repeat it that everyone could understand that Liu Yu sent someone to come.

It's actually Liu Muzhi. What does he want to do?

Lu Qiang was trying to spread the rumor that Liu Muzhi would come in, and Xie Lao Fox stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, how can you see a traitor's military division in person? Let the old minister go! The last time Lao Chen went to Jiankang, he had a meeting with him."

Lu Qiang has not fully integrated into the role of the emperor, and many times he will ignore the issue of identity, but these people can't ignore it. At present, Wang Zhenhou and others also agree with Xie Wangzu's proposal.

Lu Qiang had no choice but to ask his father-in-law to meet Liu Muzhi first and listen to what he wanted to do.

Seeing Xie Wangzu go out, Wang Zhen suddenly smiled evilly and said, "Congratulations Your Majesty, I'm afraid Liu Yu is going to surrender."

Lu Qiang also had this idea in his heart. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing at Wang Zhen's evil.

Liu Muzhi was slightly disappointed when he saw that Xie Wangzu came to see him. He originally wanted to see Lu Qiang directly, but he did not dare to show anything on his face. Not to mention that this was Lu Qiang's father-in-law, any official in Jingzhou could not be offended by him now.

"Hehe! Lord Liu, where do we not meet in life? I didn't expect that we would meet again in this situation. Come on, and give Lord Liu a cup of tea."

Xie Wangzu said with a spring breeze on his face, as if he were reunited with his old friend.

Liu Muzhi arched his hand with a bitter smile and said, "Lord Xie, Liu is very polite. I want to invite you to see Lord Lu. I don't know if Lord Xie can..."

Before Liu Mu finished his words, he was coldly interrupted by Xie Wangzu.

"Lord Liu, please pay attention to your words. Your Majesty lay on firewood and tasted courage. In order to wipe out the treacherous hust, he became Lu Qiang. Now he has recovered his true body, but you still call him that. What's the intention? Humph! If it weren't for your and my acquaintance, just because you despised the Holy One, I could cut you first and then play "

Liu Muyi was stunned and said to himself, "It's broken. How can I forget this? But if you admit that Lu Qiang is the emperor, won't you admit that the general is rebellious?

This question is really a little confusing, but Liu Muzhi is very human and soon figured out the key, that is, people have to bow their heads under the eaves!

bowed again and saluted and said, "Thank you for your understanding. I'm rude. I'm here to meet your majesty. Can you ask the state majesty to report on your behalf?"

Xie Wangzu's face softened and said lightly, "Lord Liu, say it!" Your Majesty is very busy. If there is anything, I will convey it to Your Majesty."

Looking at Xie Wangzu's arrogant appearance, Liu Muzhi couldn't help itching with anger and said patiently, "My general knows that he is wrong, and at the same time, he can't bear the loss of life. If he wants to lead the army to surrender, I don't know if your majesty will agree?"

In fact, when Xie Wangzu was on the road, he also thought that Liu Muzhi might have come to surrender, but he always asked Liu Muzhi to say it himself. At the same time, he also knew that the Beifu army still had the strength to fight, and even if Liu Yu really surrendered, it would not be so simple.

Twisting the beard of his jaw, he said slowly, "Since your general is willing to surrender, why don't you come to plead with your majesty in person?"
