In Wuyi Alley, in an unknown courtyard, at the bottom of a dry well, there is the chief helmsman of the Mafia.
The giant butter candle was burning brightly, and the three mafia bosses were arrayed around the sand table. Their eyes were shining, but the three gazes all fell on the sand table at the same time, at the huge Jiankang City. The place above, which looks inconspicuous and looks like a village, is not Jingkou?
Bai Hu sighed faintly: "I said don't let Liu Yu come back. You didn't listen. What happens now? As soon as he came back, he made such a big noise and almost won the hearts of the people of Beifu. Although there is no official in the government, He is more like a general than Liu Laozhi, no, more than Wang Gong. Given time, there will be no limit to it!"
Xuanwu's eyes were bright: "But, what he did is not what we want him to do. The fact that he got together with Wang Gong when he came back shows that he has been connected with the Changming Party. Liu Yu mobilized Beifu If the army joins the civil war, the fire will definitely be ignited. Isn’t this what we want?”
Bai Hu sneered: "Are you so sure that Liu Yu is willing to be used by Wang Gong? I don't think so. Liu Yu is gathering his old troops. I don't think he is doing it to fight a civil war. I'm afraid he wants to instigate the Northern Expedition again. .Zhuque, what do you think?" His eyes fell on Suzaku.
Suzaku smiled slightly: "I agree with Bai Hu's judgment. When I tried to win over and lure Liu Yu in the grassland, he refused to submit. I don't believe that he will really get involved in the civil war. He made it very clear that he has nothing to do with us. The condition for the invasion is that we do not include the Beifu Army in the civil war in Changdao, otherwise they will become our enemies. This time Liu Yu returned to Jingkou to prepare for the battle, but this battle may not be a civil war."
Xuanwu frowned: "It is impossible for the Jin Dynasty to go to the north now. What kind of war can there be without civil war? Could it be that he just wanted to recruit thousands of veterans and go to the north to attack Qin Yan? Even if someone is willing to follow him, he doesn't have military pay. Food and grass, that is a daydream. Not to mention, this kind of behavior will be characterized as treason."
Suzaku nodded: "Wang Gong has always wanted to get rid of Wang Guobao and realize his unrealistic dream of bringing peace to the world. Therefore, he really hopes that Liu Yu will be on his side. This should be Wang Gong's eagerness. The reason for going to see Liu Yu, however, I think since Liu Yu rejected us, he will definitely reject him. Otherwise, it would not be Liu Yu. What Liu Yu wants should be some small-scale counterattacks, so that only mobilization is needed The backbone of the Beifu Army in the Jingkou area is enough, so as not to start a big war, but it can also warm up the veterans and newcomers of the Beifu Army in Jingkou and be in a war-ready state. Once the civil strife ends and the Northern Expedition restarts, these veterans with rich combat experience can be mobilized at any time. Raise an army of 100,000 and sweep across the world."
Bai Hu nodded: "Suzaku's analysis is reliable, so where do you think he will attack?"
Suzaku smiled slightly: "Obviously it is to defend Luoyang or Qingzhou. These were the lands captured with blood and sacrifice during the last Northern Expedition. In recent years, due to the defeat of the Northern Expedition and the withdrawal of Beifu soldiers across the board, it has become almost a vacuum, that is, Zhu Xu This stupid young man is still struggling in Luoyang with thousands of people. Now the winner of Bingzhou's Xiyan and the former Qin is about to be decided. No matter who has the last laugh, they will not dare to provoke Murong Chui of Guandong. They must expand to the Central Plains first. and development. As for Zhang Yuan, Zhai Liao and others, they are also eyeing Luoyang, the old capital, and want to take it for themselves at any time. If Liu Yu wants to make the Northern Expedition, he must first secure the advance bases in the north, such as Luoyang, Xingyang, and Licheng. An important town cannot be lost. Once lost, it will be difficult to regain it."
Bai Hu frowned: "He wants to go to Luoyang? Is this news accurate? Or did you communicate with him on the grassland?"
Suzaku shook his head: "No, Liu Yu is quite deep in the city now and will not reveal his true thoughts casually. I tried to coerce and induce him several times on the grassland, but I didn't let him say another word. However, I can feel it. He came back because he wanted to make a difference. His experience in the north had trained him and allowed him to learn to use the way we think to solve problems. Therefore, he would not be as simple as before, but would choose the one that was most beneficial to him. A favorable way. He will not rush to complete the Northern Expedition in one go, but will proceed steadily, because he now knows that the biggest resistance to the Northern Expedition does not come from the barbarians on the opposite side, but from within the Jin Dynasty. Xie An's failure was due to The steps are too big and too hasty, and he wants to overwhelm us with his extraordinary achievements, so he suffers from it instead. Liu Yu will slowly accumulate his authority, improve his popularity and status step by step, and finally achieve the goal of Only by being controlled and controlled by us and acting independently can we achieve great things.”
Bai Hu nodded: "I see, then do we have any good way to stop Liu Yu? It is not a good thing for us to make him famous all over the world. We can use underhanded tactics to deal with Xie An, but against Liu Yu , I’m afraid those means won’t be useful.”
Xuanwu curled his lips: "Do we have to stop Liu Yu? I don't think so. If Liu Yu can help Wang Gong get rid of Wang Guobao, it will be a good thing for the country and good for us. Now Wang Guobao and Tianshi The Tao is too close. In a sense, these demon Tao are also another new force. With Wang Guobao's ability, it is impossible to control them. Taking advantage of the fact that Tianshi Tao has not yet had a formal status, suppress them. That’s what we should do before we rise.”
Bai Hu smiled and said: "Xuanwu, we are all cultivators. Is it really okay to be so disrespectful to the Heavenly Master?"
Xuanwu sneered and said: "We all know that the Heavenly Master is the Heavenly Master, and the Heavenly Master's way is the Heavenly Master's way. Those demons are just out to deceive people in the name of the Heavenly Master. It's just that they used to cheat money and things, but now They want to defraud power. Now they have many believers all over the Jin Dynasty. Even many of the dealers in our manor have become their brothers. The one who can really shake up our country in the future is not the Beifu Army, but the Beifu Army. He is a demon from Tianshi Dao. There are people like Liu Yu in the Beifu Army, and they will only look at the Hulu territory in the north, but what Tianshi Dao wants to destroy is the root of our family."
Zhuque nodded: "I agree with Xuanwu. The reason why we reconciled with Liu Yu before was because we had previously determined that Tianshi Dao was more dangerous and uncontrollable than the Beifu Army. Now that Liu Yu is back, his The promise should be reliable and he will not attack us for the time being. Let’s discuss the relationship with Liu Yu after we deal with these monsters. Before that, we just need to watch with cold eyes and neither help him nor oppose him. , there is more than one person in the Beifu army who wants to compete with him."
