Xuanwu's eyes flashed coldly: "Do you mean Liu Yi?"
Suzaku smiled and shook his head: "Liu Yi is just someone who is openly at odds with Liu Yu. They have been fighting for so many years, and there is no way to fight. Besides, Liu Yi seems to be following the Diao brothers. and Wang Guobao, but his real ally is Wang Xun. At this point, he and Liu Yu are on the same side for the time being. There will be no conflict now. After all, Liu Yu wants to be famous, and Liu Yi also wants to be famous. It’s not contradictory, it’s time for old brothers like them to stay together and rebuild Beifu, it’s not yet time to turn against each other.”
Bai Hu nodded: "I understand what you mean. Are you saying that Liu Yu's real opponents in the army are not Liu Yi or He Wuji, but Liu Laozhi and others who are a generation above him?"
Suzaku laughed with satisfaction: "Now you all understand why I wanted to release Liu Laozhi in the first place. You all said that I was too indulgent towards Liu Yu and had no restraint, but this Liu Laozhi can restrain him for at least ten years. "
Bai Hu curled up his lips: "But the Xie family has collapsed, and Liu Laozhi has no support. Are you sure that this warrior will also be ambitious? I don't think so."
A cold light flashed in Zhuque's eyes: "What Liu Laozhi wants is exactly what Liu Yu wants. This man does not dare to challenge the wealthy family, but he takes military power very seriously, because he believes that he is just a humble warrior. It is impossible for him to achieve great achievements. He cannot do without the promotion of aristocratic families in his life. Therefore, he will not be like Liu Yu, who may one day become the enemy of the entire aristocratic family. On the contrary, he will always be at ease as a member of the great aristocratic families like us. A servant who has no regrets."
"But on the other hand, Liu Laozhi in the army was arrogant. He thought that his martial arts skills were invincible and no one in the army could compete with him. Even Liu Yu in the past was just relying on the Xie family The identity of his son-in-law overwhelms him. I have been paying attention to this for a long time. The defeat of Yecheng was not so much Liu Laozhi's greed for power and Liu Yi's obsession. It is more that they all wanted to use this battle to defeat Liu Yu and prove themselves. Be stronger than this junior."
"So, even Liu Jingxuan would be unhappy with Liu Jingxuan's approach to Liu Yu. Even if Liu Jingxuan became Liu Yu's best friend, he would scold him for being useless. This time Liu Jingxuan came back from the grassland, Liu Laozhi would not allow him to go again Being involved with Liu Yu, if you want to cooperate sincerely with Liu Yu, why do you do this?"
"So, after all, Liu Laozhi is a veteran of Beifu, and can even be said to be one of the founders of Beifu. This alone is much better than the current Liu Yu. Wang Gong wants to control Beifu. If Liu Laozhi and Liu To choose between Yu, Liu Laozhi can only be chosen now. Because Liu Yu is the hope of the future, but he is not yet able to independently control the army, but Liu Laozhi has the status of a general and was deeply involved in the formation of the Beifu Army. , For things that need to be accumulated, such as military organization, relationships, and connections, Liu Yu is not comparable to today."
Bai Hu sighed: "Actually, it's enough if we can control Liu Laozhi. We don't necessarily need Liu Yu. At least Liu Laozhi is obedient and has strong abilities. I don't understand why you value Liu Yu so much."
Suzaku sighed: "Liu Laozhi's ability is no problem in fighting a civil war or fighting in the Jianghuai River in the south. But if he is allowed to carry the troops of Wu to the north, to Hebei, to Guanzhong and fight with Hu Qi on the plains, There is no chance of winning. The battle in Yecheng proved that even if Murong Chui didn't use any tricks and set up a frontal battle, Liu Laozhi would definitely lose, because his military ideas and concepts were not designed to deal with the northern cavalry at all. At his current age, it’s a bit difficult for him to learn new tactics now.”
"But Liu Yu is different. He has been dreaming of the Northern Expedition. Over the years, he has fought against all kinds of powerful Hu cavalry, and even seen the purest cavalry on the grassland. If you talk about the Jin Dynasty's ability to deal with Hu cavalry, don't think twice. If If you want to make the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains in the future, you must have Liu Yu."
Bai Hu frowned: "Why do we have to go to the Central Plains? We haven't been doing well for so many years. If we really get to the Central Plains, and some big families from the north want to sneak in, don't forget that the earliest mafia families were formed. , but mainly the northern aristocratic families, it’s hard to say whether such an organization exists in the north now. Maybe we are not the only ones, and there are similar organizations in the north."
Suzaku smiled slightly: "Even if there is, it cannot be brought to the fore. If there really is such an organization, why would Murong Chui ask me to cooperate, and how could Fu Jian be defeated? Bai Hu, you are currently operating in Guanzhong to unite with the remaining forces of the former Qin Dynasty. Yao Chang's confrontation with the Later Qin Dynasty, but what mysterious force did he encounter?"
Bai Hu shook his head: "No, relying on many years of relationships, the alliance went smoothly. Since we can't let Guanzhong be unified so quickly, it will take two or more forces to fight for a few more years. The Xiyan Army has already crossed the river to the east. , Yao Chang was originally the only one in the family. I initially wanted Lu Guang's Western Region Army, who had returned to the Central Plains, to compete with Yao Qin. However, I didn't expect that Lu Guang had long wanted to separatize and become self-reliant. He waited until Fu Jian died before setting off to return. In the Central Plains, if his subordinates were not homesick and clamoring to come back, I would have been his free king in the Western Regions long ago."
"After returning to the Central Plains, Liang Xi, the former governor of Liangzhou in the former Qin Dynasty, had become de facto independent. He would not let Lu Guang's army return, fearing that he would take advantage of the return of the army to attack him, so Lu Guang spent two years to eliminate Liang Xi and occupy Liangzhou, when I went to Guanzhong, I originally wanted to persuade Lu Guang to send troops to avenge Fu Jian's kindness in the past. However, our Jin Dynasty could send troops to Guanzhong to flank the Later Qin Dynasty, or we could attack the Later Qin from Liangzhou in Hanzhong. We will provide him with military and food support, and no one with even the slightest ambition will let him go with such conditions."
Zhuque smiled and said: "But Lu Guang still refused. Although you became friends with him many years ago, this man with double eyes only wants to be his King of Liangzhou. On the contrary, it is this boy Fu Deng who follows him." It’s like drinking chicken blood, and I fought Yao Chang to death, and I heard that he even cannibalized people, but is it true?”
A trace of fear flashed in Bai Hu's eyes: "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there are such terrible and cruel people in this world. The helmets and armors of Fu Deng's subordinates have two words engraved on them, one is death. , one is Xiu, that is to say, the war with Yao Qin will never end. Fu Deng is a grandson of Fu Jian, and his wife Mao, and his father Mao Xing, were loyal ministers of the former Qin Dynasty, and finally served Fu Jian Death Festival, this person’s will to fight is the strongest among all the remaining forces of the former Qin Dynasty.”
