Liu Yu smiled slightly: "When the Yan army comes, all your grassland servants will definitely run away. At this time, what you have to do is not to fight, but to form an alliance. You have to send envoys to Murong's army, please They are here to help you eliminate Liu Xian and Tuoba Kudu."
Tuoba Si gritted his teeth: "Then how do I know that Yan Jun is here to help me, not to destroy me?"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Because, I believe that Murong Lan must have asked Murong Chui to send troops to destroy you! And Murong Chui will never let Murong Lan's opinions influence him. He will send one of the shrewdest guys to lead him. When the soldiers come, it depends on Murong Lan and me whether we can convince this person."
Three hours later, it was night.
There are already bonfires everywhere on the edge of Niu River. People from all tribes are happily surrounding these fires, singing and dancing. The air is filled with the aroma of kumiss and barbecue, and the inferior powder from the Central Plains is mixed with the smell of women. , is also a different kind of scenery. There are wild roars everywhere, the shouts and cheers from both sides when wrestling and goring the cattle, and the neighing of horses, which is heard in the grassland with a radius of more than ten miles by the river. one slice.
On an inconspicuous barren hill, Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi sat quietly side by side. In Liu Muzhi's hand, he held several large iron sticks with fat and thick mutton stuck on them. Overflowing, his mouth was full of oil, making every inch of fat on his face jump.
Liu Yu sighed softly: "Damn fat man, after all these years, he can eat better than before. You are not afraid of your wife crushing you to death."
As he spoke, he patted Liu Muzhi's belly, almost making him spit out a large piece of mutton in his mouth.
Liu Muzhi finally swallowed the mutton in his mouth and said angrily: "You guy, I traveled thousands of miles to see you, and you still treat me like this. It's not like you don't know that eating in the Central Plains It’s not easy to get this mutton, and I might never be able to eat authentic mutton skewers in my life.”
Liu Yu frowned: "Can't you even eat sheep now?"
Liu Muzhi sighed and his eyes became lonely: "When the chaos broke out in the north, the trade between the Jin Dynasty and the north was completely cut off. When the former Qin Dynasty was still there, you could still buy some cattle, sheep, and horses, but now there is no chance. . And another one, the Xie family is now in a state of decline, and the Beifu Army is nothing but an empty shell. The food for us people is much worse than before."
Liu Yu sighed: "Soldiers have to fight. Marshal Xuan said that the best soldiers should eat the best military rations. If you don't have anything to eat as a soldier, how can you work hard?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Now it is no longer the time for the Xie family and Xuan Shuai to have the final say. In the past, it was for war, and those aristocratic families wanted to protect their own family's property. This is quite interesting, plus Xie We have generously donated our own money, so we have never been short of food. But now there is no war outside, and the Beifu Army has been reduced to almost nothing, with only more than 3,000 people left to guard the shell. This matter of withholding military rations is naturally related to The other troops are gradually becoming the same. If Commander Xuan were not still there, maybe Ah Shou and I would have to disarm and return to the field."
Liu Yu felt sour in his heart and shook his head: "Are the brothers from the Tiger Army still there?"
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips: "The last battle in Yecheng was discounted by more than half. Sixty-seven out of ten died, and the wounded were also eliminated. Now only one or two percent of the brothers are left. Xuan Shuai will fight hard." He tried his best to keep them in the army. He said, these are the seeds of our Beifu Army. They cannot be released under any circumstances. As long as they are still retained, the Beifu Army will be reorganized one day, and there will be the possibility of a comeback. Slave, you are the backbone of everyone now, so you can’t waste your time and life on this grassland.”
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "I have my own concerns about this. How are the generals doing now? Where are Liu Yingyang, Zhong Bo, General Liu Xi, General Zhuge, and General He?"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Although we, the grassroots backbone, have been retained, the generals who led the army were implicated in the battle of Yecheng. Lord Xianggong died soon after handing over the phase. Marshal Xuan also fell ill and handed over the hand. As the governor of the five states, he only continued to control the military power of Beifu as the general of Zhenbei. However, Liu Yingyang and others, generals and above, were all dismissed on the spot. Now the imperial court's general Su Weijun is leading the army. I heard that, After a while, Wang Gong may be asked to replace Marshal Xuan."
Liu Yu was a little surprised: "Wang Gong? How could it be him? Although he has good friends with the Xie family and is a nice person, he doesn't understand military matters after all."
Liu Muzhi gritted his teeth: "It was probably those who wanted to harm the Xie family. They intervened in the Beifu army for a while and were blocked by the Xianggong and Marshal Xuan, so they had no choice but to replace them with Wang Gong. Anyway, Wang Gong didn't know how to fight, so he took it from him. The Beifu Army is not in trouble. This is why Madam is coming to find you this time. Liu Yingyang is no longer here, and you are the soul of Beifu in the hearts of the brothers. Only by returning can you save the Beifu Army and prevent it from truly falling. Hands of evil."
Liu Yu remained calm, with gleaming eyes. He was silent for a long time and said slowly: "What about Liu Yi and Liu Xile? Even if I'm not around, he still has the ability to unite everyone. Why don't you go find him?"
A hint of disdain flashed in Liu Muzhi's eyes, and he said bitterly: "It would be better not to mention him. If I mention him, I will get angry. This man is not a brother of our Beifu. When he saw the decline of the Xie family, he immediately took refuge with Diao Kui, you haven’t seen what a bastard he was in Jingkou Township, you just want to kneel down and ride on Diao Kui’s horse!”
Liu Yu's expression changed: "How is this possible? Liu Xile is also a hero for a while, and he will never end up like this!"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing the heart. In the past, the Xie family was so powerful that the Diao family could not run amok in Jingkou, so Liu Yi got bold and came out to fight with you. But there was no point in fighting. Can beat you, probably from that time on, he had other thoughts and began to find a way out for himself. Liu Yi had to bear a lot of responsibility for Yecheng's defeat this time. After all, he was the one who encouraged Liu Ying all day long. Yang had to hurry up and send troops before he was ambushed. Afterwards, in order to avoid liability, he found the King of Kuaiji and Wang Guobao through some unknown means. They wanted the Diao brothers to regain control of Jingkou, and they just needed a local snake to help, so they took their fancy. It’s Liu Yi.”
"You don't know, we haven't had to pay taxes in Jingkou for many years. After the last Feishui, the brothers were all allocated some land, but as soon as the Diao brothers came, they immediately announced that Jingkou also had to pay taxes. However, all the land allocated last time was taken back due to the defeat of Yecheng. The things that the brothers worked hard to exchange for were all gone. Chengtian brought people from the Diao family to every township and village to show their dominance. , it’s Liu Yi!”
