Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Murong Lin, do you really think that listening to your father and annihilating Tuoba Si means being loyal to the Yan State, the most correct and most loyal choice to the Yan Kingdom?"
Murong Lin nodded: "You have been in the prairie for so long, and you must know what kind of person your A Gan is. I don't need to tell you, you also know that this is a real prairie wolf, ruthless and murderous. There is nothing that cannot be betrayed or exploited. To be honest, I don’t understand now that you, Liu Yu, and Tuoba Si will come together and become Agan."
Liu Yu said calmly: "Yes, Tuoba Si is indeed a hero of the generation, but he keeps his word. He saved me several times and protected your aunt. His so-called coldness is also a way to establish his authority. If we talk about betrayal, hasn’t your father ever attacked his allies?”
Murong Lin laughed: "Liu Yu, I have no interest in discussing these things with you. I only know that when I came out, my father gave me a strict order to eliminate Tuoba Si no matter what. This is the first time I can You should know how difficult it is to lead an army alone. After all, I have such a life experience and have always been inferior. Compared with my other brothers, I am like a slave. How can I miss this opportunity? "
Liu Yu sighed: "If your father wants someone who will carry out his orders without hesitation, why use you? Murong Nong, Murong Long, or even Murong Wen, who was assassinated, which one is not more suitable than you? It's Murong Bao. , that’s enough to be obedient.”
Murong Lin's expression changed, and he turned to sneer: "Do you think that he would lead his army to march thousands of miles, pass through the Helan tribe, go deep into Mobei, and then subdue the rebellious Mobei tribes to supply food and grass to the army, and then blockade them? According to the news, 20,000 cavalry crossed the desert all the way south, and did it without anyone noticing. This kind of ability can be achieved by everyone? Murong Nong, Murong Long may be able to do it, but my brother, the prince, can never do it. That’s what it’s all about.”
Liu Yu shook his head: "But it's you who are here now, not Murong Nong and Murong Long. It's because you have more ability to adapt to circumstances than them. Since your father can't come in person, you have to find the best person." The smartest and most decisive son can make the best decision for the country of Yan."
Murong Lin said coldly: "The best decision is to let the weakest Tuoba Si not fight and miss this opportunity? I don't see any reason not to fight him."
Liu Yu sighed: "There are many reasons and they are obvious, but you can't see it yourself. Let me ask you, who is Yan's enemy and who is his friend on the grassland now?"
Murong Lin said without thinking: "Liu Xian and Murong Yong are obvious enemies, and the Helan tribe is our old friend. As for Tuoba Si, although he has not obviously rebelled against Yan, his wolfish ambitions have been clearly revealed. .”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "What kind of wolfish ambition? Just because he proclaimed himself the acting king? Defeat Liu Xian and defeat the three coalition forces by trickery? These seem to be what your father asked him to do."
Murong Lin shook his head: "He did these things too quickly and beautifully. To be honest, it was completely beyond my father's imagination. I originally thought that he would have to fight with Liu Xian and the Dugu tribe no matter what. Five years. Unexpectedly, in less than two years, the Dugu tribe was completely defeated. Although there was no Niuchuan Conference when I dispatched, he defeated the three coalition forces and captured all the armor and cavalry of Xiyan. With this With its strength, it can pose a huge threat to our Dayan. Isn’t this ambition?”
Liu Yu sighed: "Murong Lin, why do you think that those five thousand armored cavalry are at Tuoba Si's place? Who told you?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Murong Lin's eyes: "Isn't it true? Helan Ne told me that when the three coalition armies were defeated, all the five thousand armored cavalry of Xiyan belonged to Tuoba Si, which was what he brought to Niuchuan At the conference, he showed off his power and subdued all the ministries."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Then have you personally sent someone to check it out? Or, in other words, haven't you sent someone to investigate the Helan tribe?"
Murong Lin said coldly: "Of course the Helan tribe has armored cavalry. This is the good condition we agreed to when we cooperated with them and secretly trained 20,000 armored cavalry in the Helan tribe. Liu Yu, didn't my aunt tell me Has this happened to you?"
Liu Yu laughed: "Helan Ne's headquarters has five thousand armored cavalry, but where did Helan Rangan and Helan Lu's armored cavalry come from? Your scouting horses must have come to report a long time ago and went south. There were a large number of armored cavalry in the coalition forces that attacked Liu Xian, but these armored cavalry were not from the Tuoba tribe, but from Helan Ranqian and Helan Lu."
Murong Lin's expression changed: "How could it be theirs? I don't believe that Tuoba Si won the battle, but the spoils went to the Helan tribe."
Liu Yu said seriously: "That's because those who stayed on the grassland to clean up the battlefield were not Tuoba Si's men. At that time, his men went to comfort their aggrieved families after the battle, but those who did not leave Daning City The original Helan tribe people just picked up those armor and cavalry equipment. Originally, this was no different from the Tuoba tribe taking these equipment. However, Tuoba Si said at the Niuchuan Conference that the rules of the grassland should be changed and all tribes should be cancelled. They had the autonomy to rule and enslave the tribes like the emperor of the Central Plains. This made the original Helan tribe members dissatisfied. They took these trophies and ran back to the Helan tribe because they did not follow Helan Ne at that time and were afraid of going back. There was no good fruit to eat, so I followed Helan Ranqian and Helan Lu."
Murong Lin gritted his teeth: "I will check this matter, but even so, it does not mean that Tuoba Si has no ambitions. When he returns to the grassland, he is out of our control, and he does not want to be controlled by us at all. If he does not It is appropriate to eliminate him before he develops."
Liu Yu laughed: "It is true that he is ambitious, but it is precisely because of his ambition that he cannot become a threat. For the interests of Yan State, it is best to keep a grassland co-owner who cannot convince the public. The most advantageous. Otherwise, if Liu Xian appears again and unifies the various ministries in the name of fighting against the Yan State, it will be troublesome."
Murong Lin sneered and said, "Won't you become a threat? You have achieved such success in less than two years after returning to the grassland. With such ability, you say you are not a threat? Liu Yu, are you out of your mind?"
Liu Yu sighed: "If he really had the ability, he would not have said that he would change the traditions of the grassland before he controlled the grassland. As soon as he said this, even Tiexin and his old Helan tribe ran back. Helan tribe, and there are more than a hundred tribes in Monan that have withdrawn from Dai Kingdom on the spot and are out of control. Now he doesn't even dare to punish those Helan tribesmen who defected, and has to lead them south to attack Liu Xian. I just want to use these benefits to induce the various tribes not to rebel. If a great khan can do this, it will be impossible to unify the grassland. At this time, if Tuoba Si wants to continue to be his acting king, he can only rely on your Yan country. There’s strength.”
