Under Qinglong's mask, his eyes were bright, and he continued, "For hundreds of years, the emperor and the big families have been playing games, and only then did we have the balance of power today. If we put you in power, you won't be like the opponent." The Sima family is like a puppet, but I will never let you slaughter it at will. Peace will lead to prosperity, and fighting will lead to destruction. I think you should understand this truth. "
Huan Xuan nodded: "Students will naturally understand this truth. It is just the struggle of several generations of my Huan family. I have made great contributions to the country. I also hope to be granted the destiny by heaven. I don't want to become a puppet like the Sima family. If the Northern Expedition is carried out in the future, If it succeeds, then I will not imitate the Xie family and only seek personal gain. The newly recovered country and population will be distributed to wealthy families like you as a reward for supporting me."
Qinglong smiled and said: "That will happen in the future. Now we have two problems, one is the Xie family and the other is Liu Yu."
Huan Xuan frowned: "Teacher, do you really want to put Liu Yu to death? I still feel it is a pity. This is the person who must do it in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains."
Qinglong's face darkened: "Remember, this is not my intention alone, but the common intention of the other three families. The Xie family has lost power, and they will eventually agree to this. Liu Yu's appearance is a blow to the Huan family, including yours." He is a huge threat to all high-ranking families, and because of this alone, he must die."
Huan Xuan sighed: "Thousands of troops are easy to come by, but one general is hard to find. Although I have repeatedly suggested killing Murong Chui in front of Murong Chui today, I also know that in the Jin Dynasty, he is the only one who can deal with the northern cavalry. If he kills him, If you kill him, then I don’t know how long it will take for the next person with this ability to appear."
Qinglong shook his head: "Even without the Northern Expedition, we can still protect half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River, but if Liu Yu comes to power, then all our aristocratic families will be destroyed. Maybe the Xie family will be lenient, but he will not let go of our families. Over the years, our major families have occupied too much land and population. If Liu Yu wants to do great things in the Northern Expedition, he will not tolerate us continuing to occupy these interests, and we cannot give up our ancestors' inheritance to others. This A contradiction with no solution.”
Huan Xuan nodded: "I understand, the student just feels a little sorry. What does the teacher plan to do with the Xie family?"
Qinglong smiled slightly: "Xie An and Xie Xuan are old tricksters. They should know that this failure is the result of grudges against several of our big families. They hacked your father like this back then, but now they are just reaping the consequences, so they will not take revenge. , but will choose to surrender, give up the Northern Expedition, and hand over the military power of the Beifu. Xie An himself will take responsibility and withdraw from the Xuanwu position, and find someone else from the clan to take over, in order to seek forgiveness from our other families."
Huan Xuan frowned: "Won't he continue to rely on the strength of the Beifu Army to hold on? Xie An spent his life's hard work, as well as the wealth, food and grass accumulated by the Xie family for decades, to establish With this army, even if the Northern Expedition fails, it is not impossible to consider placing the responsibility on Liu Yu and arranging a large number of children from aristocratic families to join the Beifu Army."
Qinglong sneered and said: "We made this plan at the beginning, and we will not let him pass easily. There will be a series of serial means later. If the army is defeated, it is impossible for a small army leader Liu Yu to bear the responsibility. The first thing is to cooperate Zhang Yuan, the partial division in the Battle of Yecheng, is the one connecting to Ding Ling people. Zhang Yuan has returned to Qingzhou according to your order. Soon I will let him rebel and rebel against Jin for independence."
Huan Xuan's expression changed: "Teacher, how could you do this? Zhang Yuan is a member of our Huan family and has been in Jingzhou for generations. What are you..."
Qinglong waved his hand: "Zhang Yuan has always been mine. Your late father knows this very well. This time, he appears to be obeying your orders, but in reality he has always been under my control. I have already made preparations in Qingzhou. , as soon as his defeated troops retreat to Guanggu, they will establish themselves in the city."
Huan Xuan gritted his teeth: "Zhang Yuan's family is in Jingzhou, how dare he betray openly now?"
Qinglong smiled slightly: "To be precise, it was in Jingzhou a month ago. Just when you left here, I had already ordered my people in Jingzhou to bring Zhang Yuan's family and the families of several of his lieutenants. He was secretly received in Qingzhou, of course, under my control. Only when he officially rebels and becomes self-reliant can he see his family. Disciple, you won’t hate Master because of this."
Huan Xuan sighed: "My mentor's eyes and ears are all over Jingzhou. The students have known this for a long time. If it hadn't been for my mentor's intervention, how could my good uncle have left so well? A mere wish is nothing. It’s just that the students hope that when the master takes action in the future, it is best to inform the students for life to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts.”
Qinglong smiled and nodded: "It's natural. Things about Zhang Yuan are developing too fast. No one expected Liu Laozhi to be so fast. Originally, I wanted to arrange for him to be defeated by Murong Chui himself, and he lost more than half. After returning to Qingzhou, this seems more realistic, but in order not to affect the decisive battle between Murong Chui and Liu Laozhi, and to prevent Yan Junjia from losing too much before the decisive battle, I still let him betray Ding Ling and escape. Now he You have to rebel even if you don't want to rebel. Don't worry, you are not in power in Jingzhou now. Even if Zhang Yuan rebels against the Jin Dynasty, the court will only hold Huan Shiqian and Huan Shimin responsible. By the way, your two good cousins will be held responsible. Wouldn’t it be nice to solve them all together?”
Huan Xuan gritted his teeth: "You can't touch them now. I haven't returned to Jingzhou to serve as an official. Taking them away will only let outsiders control Jingzhou. Master, this matter is not a trivial matter."
Qinglong said coldly: "Just follow our arrangements. Huan Shiqian is a fierce general in the world. This time we used a trick to make him sick and unable to go out to fight, so that we could have the opportunity to betray him. Do you think he will do it afterwards?" No investigation? As long as this matter is investigated, all our operations in Jingzhou for so many years will be exposed. At that time, with this guy's non-stop personality, he might directly raise Jingzhou soldiers to retaliate against us. Do you want that?"
Huan Xuan's eyes sparkled: "But, after all, Huan Shiqian is my cousin and a fierce general. If we don't use Liu Yu, who else can we use? Huan Shi's people have a very high level of governance and control Yuzhou. It is the future gateway to the Central Plains. If both of them are destroyed now, I am afraid that Jingzhou will not be owned by my Huan family!"
Qinglong smiled and patted Huan Xuan on the shoulder: "Disciple, you still have to learn political skills. Sometimes the best policy is to retreat in order to advance. Do you think it is a good thing to be the governor of Jingzhou now?"
