Liu Yu frowned: "How could you be so trusting and think that Sun En would attack you? The three heroes have been wary of you for a long time, and they will not be blinded by power like Sun Tai and fall into a trap. "
Suzaku sighed: "We just thought of this, so we asked Sun Tai not only to summon the troops, but also hinted that once he has meritorious service as King Qin, he can be granted the title of wife and son. Therefore, Sun Tai believed it was true and asked his sons who were preaching in various places to come back. In this way, we thought that Sun En would judge that Sun Tai wanted to establish a successor, and was unwilling to let his cousins take the lead. He would definitely bring his troops to join him. If Sun En moved, Lu Xun and Xu Daofu would naturally not be able to I just sat back and watched, but I didn’t expect that Sun En would give up this opportunity!”
Liu Yu sneered and said: "That's because you don't understand these three guys too well. Sun Tai and his son just want to get promoted and make a fortune and make some incense money in Wudi, but Sun Lu Xu has the ambition to conquer the world. Otherwise, I would not have left the prosperous Wudi in the south of the Yangtze River to develop in the Central Plains. Although Tianshi Taoism has a large number of followers, the ones who are really willing to sacrifice are the old believers brought back by Sun Luxu and Hebei from the Central Plains and Hebei. , you killed Sun Tai and his son this time, but made Sun Enlu Xun completely your enemy, what a huge loss!"
Suzaku gritted his teeth: "Now Sun En has fled to the island in eastern Zhejiang and is missing. Liu Yu, I can give you 5,000 elite soldiers, and let you choose 500 old brothers from Beifu to go to sea to destroy Sun En. After the completion of the matter, we agree to carry out the civil war in the six counties of Jiangbei, and you will be fully responsible for it. We will also give you the position of internal historian of Pengcheng. In the future, if you want to expedition to the north, you can mobilize the soldiers, horses, money and food of the six counties of Jiangbei, and half of the Beifu army. How about it be under your name and at your disposal?"
Liu Yu shook his head, stretched out, and lay down on the pile of firewood: "Sir Suzaku really made a good plan. He abandoned the six counties of Jiangbei, which were already dilapidated and had little power and foundation, and asked me to wipe out the Wu Kingdom for you. All your enemies will ask me to destroy Huan Xuan and recapture Jingzhou for you in the future. It can be said that you are nothing but a white wolf with nothing to gain."
Suzaku sneered: "We each get what we need. I said, you can let go of the Northern Expedition according to your own ideas. Anyway, after Xi Chao's incident, our mafia has no successors. As long as the emperor doesn't want to take us back like Sima Yao, We can peacefully coexist with him in Jiangnan, and you can fight however you want. If the money and food are not enough, we can also provide you with support. Isn't this what you dream of?"
Liu Yu sat up, looked at Zhuque, and said calmly: "Master Zhuque, why do you think I, Liu Yu, want to go to the Northern Expedition?"
Zhuque was a little surprised by this sudden question and couldn't answer for a while. After a long time, he slowly said: "You are a descendant of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, and you have the ambition to make contributions. Therefore, you want to restore the Han family's power and leave a lasting legacy." Name it. To be honest, Liu Yu, neither I nor my companions have ever been able to understand why you insisted on the Northern Expedition. After much deliberation, this is the only explanation."
Liu Yu's eyes were shining brightly, piercing Zhuque: "Master Zhuque, as a noble son of a noble family, naturally doesn't know the sufferings of the people. He doesn't know that a country boy is abandoned by his biological father when he is still in his infancy. He has no mother and is left to live alone. What it’s like to be helpless.”
Suzaku's white eyebrows raised slightly: "I know your childhood experiences very well and sympathize with them very much, but what does this have to do with the Northern Expedition?"
Liu Yu sighed quietly, and his eyes became deep: "I was an orphan who had no father or mother in my childhood. It can be said that I have tasted all the warmth and coldness of the world. I have lived a hard life where it is difficult to return home and find a country. Therefore, I can best understand the feelings of people who are not cared for and abandoned by their biological parents. Later, when I got older and became a rural official, I would see the Han refugees from the north going south every day and watch them dragging their families with them. Alone and helpless, listening to them tell about the misery and pain along the way, and how many relatives died under the sword of the barbarians, I knew that there were countless Han people in the north who were just like me in childhood, as helpless as I was in my childhood. Children long for the care of their parents and the warmth of family. I don’t want my people in this world to experience such suffering again. I want to save them. This is my mission as a descendant of the Liu family and a Han Chinese. I think you mafia bosses may have had this mission when you were young, but as of now, it’s gone!”
Zhuque was speechless for a long time. He looked into Liu Yu's eyes and sighed: "So that's it. You think the Han people in the north are just like you who were orphans. You want to save them just like you saved your childhood self, not In order to make contributions and leave a name in history, Liu Yu, Liu Yu, until today, I really understand why you insist on the Northern Expedition."
Liu Yu's eyes became firm and decisive, and he looked directly at Suzaku: "However, what you mafias have done is worse than the barbarians in the north. Even the Han people in the north, even if they hide in Deep in the mountains, you can survive in Jiewu to protect yourself. There are not so many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. As long as there is no war in the north, your life will even be better than in the south and in your manor. The tenant farmers, villagers and even the villagers in your manor I don’t know how many people have even been treated as an official member of the country and have been oppressed to death by you, selling their sons and daughters! My Northern Expedition is to save the Han compatriots in the north, not so that you can continue to oppress the people for generations. .”
Suzaku gritted his teeth: "The reincarnation of heaven, high and low, there is never the kind of equality you want in this world. The villagers and tenant farmers in the south of the Yangtze River all fled to the south after they could no longer survive in the north. This is the manor of our aristocratic family. What's wrong with taking them in, giving them a bite to eat, and letting them give something in return? Our aristocratic families, tributaries and common people, have so many children and nephews, and so many people who need to be fed, we can't just farm on our own, right? .In the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, our ancestors have made meritorious services, shed blood, and exerted their efforts. Even in the manors in the south now, those people who work hard as you mentioned, at least they do not face the threat of death every day like they did in the north. , worried that barbarians might come to take their lives and rob their families at any time. Isn’t this our credit? What’s wrong with asking them to farm and work? How can they be compared with the barbarians in the north?!"
Liu Yu sneered and said: "The Hu people are not ferocious beasts. They are also human beings, but they are not engaged in production. Therefore, they enslave the Han people to farm and weave for them. What is the difference between what you are doing and the Hu people? If Your ancestors have made great contributions and shed blood, so it is okay for them to be rewarded, but you, or your next generation, have the nerve to say that you are the pillar of the country and should be rewarded? Suzaku, you don't deserve it!"
