As soon as these words were said, the guards and soldiers in the hall drew their sabers in unison, and responded loudly: "Liu Xile, do you want to go against it?" Obviously, this was something they had practiced a long time ago, no matter how neatly they drew their sabers, His movements and roars were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, echoing in the hall for a long time. If an ordinary person had been hit like this, he would have fallen to the ground softly.
But Liu Yi still stood there calmly, his expression was as usual, and even an inexplicable sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Diao Kui and said calmly: "Excuse me, Diao Cishi, where did the lower officials behave in a wrong way? Please enlighten me. !”
Diao Kui said sternly: "Liu Yi, as an official in South Xuzhou, you should obey the orders of the imperial court. Although Xie Xuan is the governor of the five states, but now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and there is no invasion by foreign enemies, he has to go through the imperial court's orders. Just conscripting troops and adjusting food without authorization is a crime of treason, don’t you know?”
Liu Yi smiled slightly and looked at Diao Kui with a cold look of disdain in his eyes: "Diao Jishi, you seem to have forgotten one thing. In addition to the title of Governor of the Five States, General Xie also has the military title of General Zhenbei. , and also has the right to act expediently. Do you understand the four words "acting expediently"? "
Diao Kui raised his eyebrows: "When there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, naturally because of the strong military situation, we can recruit troops and mobilize the army to resist. But is there an invasion by a foreign enemy now? He is in Guangling, and the Central Plains has been recovered, and the nearest enemy Yan bandits are also To the north of the Yellow River, thousands of miles away, why do you need to act cheaply? What do you want to do if you call in the army without permission when the country is not at war, or in Jingkou, which is only a hundred miles away from Jiankang?"
Liu Yi said calmly: "What to do? Of course it is the Northern Expedition. Originally this was a military operation and could not be disclosed to the outside world. However, in view of the fact that Diao Jishi also participated in the Battle of Feishui, Xie Zhenjun instructed his subordinates to do it if necessary. Disclose this to you.”
Diao Xie was stunned at first, then sneered: "Since it is the Northern Expedition, we must make full preparations and make a plan before moving. The last battle of Feishui required nationwide mobilization and two or three months of troop deployment. General, we have just assembled an army of 80,000. This is just a defensive operation, a battle in our Jin Dynasty. But for the Northern Expedition, deep into the enemy's territory, the battle line is thousands of miles long, and no less than 100,000 troops must be mobilized. It depends on you. Call some Jingkou veterans here and you can complete the preparations in three days? Are you out of your mind or is Xie Xuan taking this matter as a joke?"
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Two adults, you are indeed very good at collecting money and expropriating money, but this military matter is just a little far behind. Soldiers need to be quick, which is the first priority. If a fighter plane appears, , that fleeting moment, a few more days, or even a few more hours, may determine the success or failure of a Northern Expedition. It was precisely because of the appearance of fighter planes that Xie Zhenjun decided to immediately mobilize veterans as the vanguard to carry out the Northern Expedition first. As for the army, they could follow up . This matter was decided by the Prime Minister himself, and it is only a matter of time before it is passed by the court. Do you two have any concerns?"
Diao Kui's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "No wonder I didn't hear any news about the North Korean Expedition. It turns out that this matter has not been discussed and passed. The Xie family must be a little too bold, bypassing the court meeting and deciding on the Northern Expedition alone." ? What do they want to do? I just said you were going to rebel, and I was right! "
Liu Yi sneered and said: "Of course the court meeting has to go, but if you lose the opportunity to fight for the court meeting, it will be too late. Before the Battle of Feishui, the major families were still discussing in the court and could not make a decision, so the Qin army marched straight in. When we arrived at Feishui, the officials in charge of the DPRK were once ready to abandon Jiangbei and withdraw to Jiankang. If it hadn't been for Xuan Shuai to reconsider it, Mr. Xianggong had been sitting in Beijing at the critical moment. I'm afraid we would all have to learn from the Hu people. We have enough food, clothing, housing and transportation, Diao the governor, Diao the governor, you should be very clear about this past event."
Diao Kui's face turned slightly red, and he turned to sneer: "If you are lucky to bet once, you cannot be right every time. Liu Yi, I am the governor of South Xuzhou. All the Dingkou, money and food in Jingkou are replaced by me. The country is guarding and guarding, and there is no formal court order, and there is no large-scale foreign invasion. Maybe you want to listen to Xie Xuan, but I am not in his Beifu Army, so there is no need to obey his orders!"
Liu Yi raised his brows and said: "Shi Diao, the opportunity for the Northern Expedition is rare. Previously, under the secret orders of the Prime Minister and Xie Zhenjun, I personally sneaked into Yecheng to spy on the military situation. I know very well that now is the best opportunity. If I miss this time, I don't know. How many more years will we have to wait for it to happen? In order to buy time, the Xie family did not even use the court's food and grass. They provided food and supplies entirely from their own family, preparing to carry out the Northern Expedition alone. At this time, all the major families in our Jin Dynasty should work together. Yes, even if you don’t contribute, at least don’t hinder the Northern Expedition.”
Diao Kui said coldly: "If the Northern Expedition is rushed without adequate preparation and authorization from the Holy Emperor and the imperial court, it will only end in a disastrous defeat like the previous times. Not only will we lose the lost ground, but it will also hurt me. Due to the strength of the army, even the newly occupied Central Plains and Qilu lands may be lost again. This has happened two or three times since our Jin Dynasty crossed south. How can Xie Xuan's generals be better than Huan Wen? Zu Ti? Why can he do things that these famous generals can't do? Liu Yi, I think you are eager to make great achievements. You came back to lie about the military situation and deceive Xie Zhenjun, just to get a chance for yourself! "
Liu Yi's eyes flashed coldly, and he pointed directly at Diao Kui: "Diao Jishi, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, no one dares to say that he will definitely win. Before the battle of Feishui, almost the whole world thought that Fu Jian He is bound to win. What happens now? I, Liu Yi, am just a small state commander. I am just a soldier in the army. I am not even a general. Even if the Northern Expedition succeeds, I will not be able to rise to the top. The two of you rely on your background and family background. You can seal the territory and split the land and become a big official, but ordinary Jingkou people like us don't have this opportunity."
A trace of disdain flashed in Diao Kui's eyes: "Okay, Liu Yi, don't I know who you are? If Liu Yu said here that he has no selfish motives and just wants to go to the Northern Expedition, I might still be skeptical, but you This guy who seizes every opportunity to climb up, do you dare to say that you have no selfish motives? If you are really dedicated to the public, why do you need to inform us about these recruitment matters? Just gather people and hit the road. Do you still want me to give you some help? Open a warehouse to store grain and pay for travel expenses?"
Liu Yi looked at Diao Kui calmly: "Diao Jishi, you are right. I don't need to inform you about this matter. But since you rejected the official's kindness, the official has nothing to say. Take your leave."
