Liu Yu's face was as dark as water, and he nodded seriously: "You mean, you want me to guard against Lu Xun and prevent him from betraying you? But how can I guard against it?"
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "As long as Lu Xun stays with you in Jinyong City, instead of giving him a chance to run into Luoyang alone, there is Shen Mufu commanding his so-called ten thousand elite troops there, so he is not needed. As long as Lu Xun and Xu Daofu are under your control, you have nothing to worry about. If he really does something bad, you can kill him at any time."
Liu Yu nodded: "Then I'll trouble you about this. During the battle, I have to keep an eye on the Xiyan army in front. I can't keep looking at Lu Xun."
Murong Lan said seriously: "I'm going to Jinyong City right away." She said, turning to the tower behind her and said coldly, "Damn fat man, stop hiding, the smell of your mutton skewers can be smelled a hundred steps away. "
Liu Muzhi's fat face emerged from the shadow of the tower behind with a smile, as well as a bunch of roasted lamb legs in his hand. He took a hard bite, filling his mouth with yellow grease. He smiled and said, "Look, I came from the Maoqiu Army and didn't even eat the roasted whole lamb. I was not allowed to take a leg of lamb with me to chew on the road. If I had the intention to conceal and eavesdrop, I would just throw this thing away." .”
Murong Lan sighed: "You shouldn't allow Lu Xun to stay. It's not good if he gets involved with Liu Yi. But the matter has come to this, and there is no use in talking about it. When the war is fierce, I have to help Brother Lang defend the city. , the only way to keep track of people is with you, the fat guy who can't fight."
As she spoke, she moved, her cloak fluttering in the wind, like a big black bird, and flew across the city. A horse, following her figure, galloped towards her. Amidst the neighing sound, Murong Lan stood steady. The horse fell to the ground, his legs clamped on the horse's belly, and the horse's hooves flew, and soon it disappeared into the thick night.
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Fat man, I'd like to contact Mao Qiu this time. Thank you for your help in the past month. If you hadn't reminded me, this time it would have been more troublesome. At least these five thousand Yan Kingdom elites , not so easy to eliminate.”
Liu Muzhi smiled and waved his hand: "These are just the beginning of the plan. Now that Mao Qiu has succeeded, Huan Xuan and even Liu Laozhi will not turn a blind eye. Huan Xuan originally intended to put you and Zhu Xu in danger. But now that you have won two battles, the Xiyan army's edge has been weakened, and it is very possible to defend Luoyang. Huanxuan is afraid that the first one will not be able to sit still, and will lead his army to Luoyang to snatch the victory."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "This is the Mr. Huan we know. When the situation is bad, he runs away like the wind, takes advantage of the victory to pursue the invasion like fire, and friendly troops are in trouble like a mountain. He has learned 70% of the true meaning of Sun Tzu's art of war." ”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "But I still don't understand why you would rather use Huan Xuan to take credit than let Mao Qiu's Liangzhou troops continue to help. At least, Mao Qiu is a trustworthy brother. And Huan Xuan, He will be one of your most dangerous enemies in the future. Even if there is a possibility of cooperation now, it is best not to help increase his power. I know you want Huan Xuan to check and balance the mafia, but don’t forget that Huan Xuan has no position. If a person with no bottom line really becomes full-fledged, maybe the old mafia thieves will cooperate with him again, and in order to successfully take over Jiankang, he will definitely agree."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This is exactly what I want. Only when Huan Xuan rapidly expands his power and replaces me as the mafia's biggest enemy can I go to the Northern Expedition with peace of mind. It doesn't matter if the land of the Central Plains is left to Huan Xuan, I will do it anyway. We want to cross the Yellow River and regain all the lost territory!"
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "It seems that I still underestimated your determination this time. What you want is not just Bingzhou, but the entire Guanzhong."
Liu Yu laughed and patted Liu Muzhi on the shoulder: "Finally you guessed it right. I don't have to hide anything in front of you. That's right, Murong Chui is powerful now. You can't conflict with him head-on at this time. I intend to join forces with him to destroy Xi Yan, and then take over the state. The land in Guanzhong is in ruins, and the two Qins are fighting to the death. This is the best time to regain Guanzhong. Once one party gains a foothold and appeases the people in Guanzhong, and then wants to invade, it will be impossible. It will be difficult. Therefore, I will take the victorious troops from Bingzhou and leave Longmen Ferry, while Maoqiu's Hanzhong soldiers and horses will leave Qishan. Once he succeeds all the way and gains a foothold in Guanzhong, Huan Xuan will not be willing to be followed and will leave Tongguan again or Wuguan, attack Guanzhong, and conquer Qin in three ways, great achievements can be achieved."
Liu Muzhi gritted his teeth: "But you will fulfill Huan Xuan and let him do what his father did not do. Is it really worth it?"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "The mafia will try its best to stop him, but as long as he is aggressive, it will inevitably involve the Qin army's strength, which is beneficial to me. What's more, as long as he can fight to regain the lost territory for the Han people, Sweeping the two capitals, there is no need to care too much about these personal gains and losses. If Huan Xuan had relied on his military exploits to usurp the throne and commit rebellion, the whole world would definitely punish him."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "I advise you not to support Huan Xuan. You can't control this man. We can defeat Murong Yong by ourselves in this battle, and we don't need Huan Xuan's help."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Do you think I want Huan Xuan to deal with Murong Yong? I want him to fight dog with Tianshi Dao. Zhu Xu is alone and is no match for Tianshi Dao. I can't let the Central Plains behind me , fell into the hands of the demon thief, even if Lu Xun said he wanted to seize the throne, he could only cooperate with me in the short term. In the long run, he would definitely usurp, and he would most likely cooperate with Murong Chui from the north, because he was from the Lu family. Even the great clans of Hebei have many of their own clansmen serving as officials in Yan State. This is what I have to be wary of. With Huan Xuan here, the Celestial Master Dao will not dare to make any mistakes, and only then will my rear be temporarily peaceful."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Do you think Huan Xuan will help you in the Northern Expedition? He also doesn't want to see you succeed, and he will definitely block your military supplies. The only people you can really rely on are these more than a thousand Beifu brothers."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, if I really attack Bingzhou, our General Liu Laozhi will definitely not be able to sit still. We are not the only ones who want to avenge our shame. Fatty, we might as well make a bet. When our army sets foot on Hebei again, it will be the day when the Beifu army dispatches from Yangzhou!"
Liu Muzhi opened his eyes wide and suddenly laughed: "Jinu, Jinu, I really admire you. If Huanxuan manages Jingzhou's military power in the Central Plains, and General Liu is willing to lead the Beifu army to the north again, there will be a civil war in Changdao. The danger of fighting between Jing and Yang has also been resolved by you. The Jing Yang army, which was originally going to fight to the death, was able to resist the enemy in unison. Your ability will be as good as that of my husband back then."
