Huan Xuan sighed: "Master Shushuai is right. That Liu Yu followed almost the same path as my late father. He first took charge of the army, and then made great achievements in the Northern Expedition. When the time is right, he may take charge of the army again." The power of the world, our Huan family is not afraid of those high-ranking families, but we must be wary of these ambitious people who started in the army."
Huan Chong nodded: "But now that there is a powerful enemy and the country is employing people, such people cannot be moved for the time being. It would be best if they can make friends and win over them. Lingbao, can you find a woman from my clan?" How can a person marry Liu Yu to marry him?"
Huan Xuan sighed: "After all, Liu Yu is from the Beifu Army. I have also tested him and asked him to come to our Jingzhou to join the army. As long as others come, we can naturally use this trick, but he did not clearly agree at the time. , I guess he may not agree after thinking too much. After all, there are his comrades and brothers in the Beifu Army for many years, and the Xie family treats him well, so the nephew set up such a plan to ask for Dear Wang Miaoyin, as long as we get this girl over, we will break the mutual trust between Liu Yu and the Xie family, and our plan can continue."
Huan Chong laughed and patted Huan Chong on the shoulder: "So that's it. No wonder you asked to marry Wang Miaoyin. At first, I thought you were greedy for Wang Miaoyin's beauty. After all, this daughter of Wang Xie's marriage, Not only does he have a distinguished status, he is also famous for his outstanding talents and talents."
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "Wang Miaoyin is indeed stunning in the world. To be honest, when I saw her for the first time, I was really stunned. I thought she was a heavenly being. However, no matter how beautiful a woman is, compared with Jiangshan Tianxia, It’s nothing. The most fundamental reason for asking to marry this girl is to alienate Wang Xie and the relationship between the Xie family and Liu Yu. Shushuai, when we were in Shouchun City, I had already separated our Huan family’s ambitions from Liu Yu’s. Yu said that he was lured with the Northern Expedition. In my nephew's opinion, he is a little tempted. As long as we put more effort into severing his relationship with the Xie family, he will definitely switch to us. "
Huan Chong frowned: "You robbed his woman, how can you still expect him to defect to us?"
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "This is not a conflict. Marriage between high-ranking families has been going on for nearly a hundred years. There has never been a case of a noble lady from a wealthy family being demoted to a lower-class nobleman or even a humble person. This marriage is not advisable. Besides, the Xie family He has always made promises to Liu Yu, but the Wang family has never made them. After all, Wang Miaoyin is the daughter of the Wang family. Even if Liu Yu hates it, he will only hate the Wang family and the Xie family. When the time comes, we will comfort and win over him more, and then use him in If the Beifu army is unsatisfied, then Liu Yu will be much more confident in switching to us."
Huan Chong asked curiously: "The Beifu army is unsatisfied? What does this mean? Isn't he proud of himself in the Beifu army now?"
Huan Xuan smiled and shook his head: "Not to mention that he messed up things in Shouchun and is now reduced to a small soldier. Even if he succeeds in the Battle of Feishui in the future, I'm afraid his future will not be bright. Look at Liu Yu There are too many people who dislike this boy. In addition to those aristocratic families who stick to the distinction between superiors, corporals, and commoners, there is also a mysterious force from the East that will be his lifelong enemy."
Huan Chong's brows relaxed, he put his hands on his hands and said with a smile, "Are you talking about the Tao of Heavenly Masters?"
Huan Xuan nodded: "Exactly. This group of demons also have the same intention of seizing power. On the one hand, they made Five Stone Powder to gain dissatisfaction with the family members. On the other hand, they also asked their disciples to join the army, hoping to gain more power. It happened that they had recently caught up with the King of Kuaiji and Wang Guobao, who also wanted to seize the power of the Xie family, and they hit it off. His eldest disciples Sun En, Lu Xun, Xu Daofu and others framed Liu Yu several times on the battlefield, trying to Leading to his death, these are all things I saw with my own eyes.”
Huan Chong sneered and said: "I knew that these demons were not good people. Back then, Lu Kui rebelled and rebelled, but were suppressed by Mao Anzhi's troops. After that, they went underground and preached in the Sanwu area. They took advantage of the extravagance and extravagance of the disciples of the aristocratic families. In pursuit of immortality, they gave these people medicine and spells, and gradually gained some support from the upper levels. During Qin's southern expedition, they took the initiative to join the army, hoping to take the opportunity to gain status in the army and prepare for future rebellions. Bao, you have to understand the situation clearly. People like Liu Yu can cooperate and be used, but these monsters must be eliminated before they become a threat, otherwise they will become a threat to us in the future."
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "Those are things for the future. After all, Tianshi Dao has not yet become a phenomenon. Moreover, this time my nephew went to Jiankang and brought that thing."
Huan Chong's eyes lit up, and he looked around cautiously, confirming that the nearest guard was also standing under the steps outside the hall, then moved forward from the couch and whispered: "Is it still the original formula? ?”
Huan Xuan nodded, took out a small blue and white porcelain bottle from his arms, and handed it to Huan Chong: "My nephew has tried it with someone. The same formula, familiar taste."
Huan Chong laughed, took the porcelain bottle, opened the red silk stopper and saw a pile of light yellow medicinal powder lying at the bottom of the bottle, and a strange smell began to drift in the hall.
Huan Chong's nose twitched, like an agile hound, he sniffed at the mouth of the bottle, closed his eyes, and murmured with an intoxicated look on his face: "What a good thing, these devils from Tianshi Dao" , people love and hate it at the same time!”
Huan Xuan curled his lips and said: "Uncle, my nephew has never understood why my late father and you knew that although the Five Stone Powder could give people temporary pleasure, it was ultimately an erysipelas. Taking it was not only addictive, but also dangerous. It’s harmful, but even so, why do you still need to use this thing? You are not those children of a dissolute family who need to be dissolute, pursue the pleasure of men and women, or be literate after drinking. "
Huan Chong sighed, put the cork on the bottle, and said: "Lingbao, you have never been on the battlefield, so you don't know that swords and arrows have no eyes. When you were young, my eldest brother and I were fighting on the front line. We took risks and suffered many injuries on our bodies. I have countless scars. When I am old, whenever there is rainy weather, these wounds will hurt so much that I can't even eat or sleep. If I hadn't relied on these five stone powders, I'm afraid I would have burst out of gold and passed away. , the so-called drinking poison to quench thirst is the truth. There is a reason why the children of those aristocratic families do not want to join the army. In the future, if you are in charge of the army, it is best to be like Xie Xuan and be a Confucian commander. There is no need to imitate your father and me and rush to the front. .”
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "I would like to be taught."
While they were talking, there was a rush of footsteps. The uncle and nephew stopped talking and looked at the person.
