Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "If this is the case, how do you deal with it?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "The demon thieves are now powerful and eager to fight. Their sharpness is irresistible for a while. If we really fight them now, the losses will be huge. Moreover, they have the advantage of the fleet. Even if they are disadvantageous, they can get on the ship and escape. We can’t eradicate it from the vast ocean.”
Liu Muzhi curled his lips: "Are you really sure you want to eradicate these demon thieves?"
Liu Yu frowned slightly and said nothing.
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Actually, we all know that now is not the best time to get rid of the demon thief. Liu Laozhi regards you as his biggest opponent. He did not get rid of you this time, but he knows that you are in Juzhang, Haiyan , these battles at Suanshan are a stroke of genius. Now in the entire Jin Dynasty, and even in the entire world, you are the only one who can fight such a battle. Liu Laozhi himself has experienced hundreds of battles, so he naturally knows how powerful you are. The more powerful you are, the more powerful he will be. Be afraid, I failed to harm you last time, and I won’t stop again in the future.”
Liu Yu curled up his lips: "Although I understand what you mean, raising bandits to respect themselves, especially keeping giant bandits like Tianshi Dao, is a good way to protect yourself, but no matter what, they are cruel and evil, and bring disaster to all living beings. They have caused so much harm to Southeast Asia in the past few years. In order to protect their own power, they let the people continue to suffer. I can’t bear to do such a thing!"
Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "Our slave still retains his original intention, and still puts the common people of the world first. This is a valuable point for you. Otherwise, you will be no different from the mafia. However, your love for the people is At the cost of your own sacrifice, if you really want to eliminate Tianshi Dao, you have to find a way to find another opponent, otherwise, you really have to disband and return to the field."
Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "You mean Huan Xuan? I have been conquering the demon thieves non-stop for a while, and I have no time to care about the affairs of Jingzhou. I heard that Huan Xuan has broken with Yin Zhongkan and Yang Quanqi now. There’s a big war going on, what’s going on?”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "I came here to discuss this matter with you. The situation in Jingzhou has also undergone tremendous changes in the past two months. Yang Quanqi and Huan Xuan have long been at odds with each other, all thanks to Yin Zhongkan's mediation over the years. , and having the common enemy Wang Guobao, they can maintain the superficial harmony. However, the last time Wang Gong raised troops, Huan, Yin, and Yang jointly sent troops to respond to Wang Gong's joint invasion of Jiankang, but they just arrived In Jiangzhou, Wang Gong was defeated and died. Yang Quanqi saw that the situation was not good, abandoned Huan Xuan as the vanguard, and directly wanted to return to Jiangling to control the families of Huan Xuan's subordinates. Yin Zhongkan also left with him. Huan Xuan was After hearing the news, we chased with light troops and traveled five hundred miles overnight by boat before we caught up with the Yin and Yang armies at Yuzhangkou, and almost immediately they were about to engage in battle."
Liu Yu nodded: "I know this. Later, because Sima Yuanxian came to power in Jiankang and posed a huge threat to the three of them, they had to exchange their nephews again and jointly recommended Huan Xuan as the leader of the alliance. However, the three of them had already separated. It’s time for everyone to recruit troops, form an army, and prepare for civil war.”
When Liu Yu said this, he smiled and said: "After all, the Huan family has been operating in Jingzhou for many years. In the past, in order to hide their strength, especially not to attract the attention of the mafia, they restrained themselves and even promoted Yin Zhongkan, an old classmate of his, to be the governor of Jingzhou. It was just a cover for himself, just a puppet. Yin Zhongkan thought too highly of himself and didn't want to be controlled by others, so he wanted to turn to Yang Quanqi, who was supporting Yongzhou, as a helping hand. But the more he acted like this, the less Huan Xuan would tolerate it. Him. Last time Huanxuan wanted to use the rebellion of Tianshi Dao to stop the food supply to Yangzhou from the upper reaches and trap Yangzhou to death. I am afraid that this incident became the trigger for him, Yin Zhongkan and Yang Quanqi to finally turn against each other and start a war. "
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "You are right. What Huan Xuan was worried about before was not that he could not deal with Yang Quanqi and Yin Zhongkan, but that he was afraid that they would attract powerful external forces like the Beifu Army to come to their aid. Now that the demon thieves are causing trouble, the Beifu Army Fighting hard with them in the land of Wu, he had too much time to take care of himself and had no time to take care of Jingzhou. This was a golden opportunity for Huan Xuan. Yin Zhongkan stopped him from imposing a grain blockade, so he made excuses from Yang Quanqi and framed him for the fall of Luoyang. Yang Quanqi colluded with the barbarians, plotted evil, lost the old capital of Jin Dynasty, and demanded that Yang Quanqi be imprisoned and punished."
Liu Yu softly said "Oh": "Yang Quanqi guarded the north for many years and worked hard for the country. Where does this crime begin?"
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "When the Northern Wei Dynasty invaded the Later Yan Dynasty, the Later Qin Dynasty took advantage of the situation and sent troops to Hedong, and then took advantage of the victory to go south and attack Luoyang. Since you last left Luoyang, the Central Plains has been slowly devoured by the Later Yan Dynasty. Luoyang is early An isolated city has less than 2,000 soldiers and less than 1,000 households. It is not much different from a small county town. If it weren't for the name of an old capital, even if it was lost, no one would care."
Liu Yu sighed: "It is because of our own civil strife that things like this happened. The guard general of Luoyang, I remember it was Xin Gongjing. He was from Guanzhong. When the former Qin Dynasty collapsed, his family moved south, and he was stationed in Lu Zongzhi and Xi Xi Hui served as a general. When our Eastern Jin Dynasty general Yang Fosong, who defected to the Later Qin Dynasty, led his army to attack Luoyang, Xi Hui sent him to lead his troops to rescue him. After repelling the Qin army, he also guarded Luoyang, but he was not a direct descendant of Yang Quanqi. Yao Xing If a large army is sent to attack, Yang Quanqi will not lose his main troops to rescue Huan Xuan in this situation, because it will be of no benefit to him."
Liu Muzhi smiled and nodded: "That's right, but Luoyang and Sizhou are in the name of Yang Quanqi after all. He didn't want to save it himself, so he wrote a letter to Tuoba Zun, the general who stayed in Bingzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and asked the Northern Wei Dynasty to send troops to rescue Luoyang. , promising that after the Qin army is defeated, several Central Plains prefectures and counties can be given to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Even sending Luoyang to each other is not non-negotiable."
Liu Yu frowned: "Isn't Yang Quanqi a little too courageous to ask for such a condition? Then don't say that Huan Xuan wants to attack him, even if it were me, I would attack him!"
Liu Muzhi sneered and said, "Don't think that Yang Quanqi is a fool. He is just using this incident to express his goodwill to the Northern Wei Dynasty. He even hopes to have a good relationship this time. He may be able to attract the Wei army when he fights Huan Xuan in the future. Help. For the sake of their own power, these separatist warlords do not care about the interests of the country and the common people. This is also the most special thing about you, Liu Yu, in this world. Because in your heart, no matter what, you are still the same. The country and the Han people come first, and you can sacrifice yourself for this, rather than the other way around like they did!"
Liu Yu sighed: "You will die if you do it. Yang Quanqi is famous for his loyalty and he uses this to win people's hearts. But if he does this, he will lose all his people's hearts. You don't need to watch this battle to know that Huan Xuan will win!"
