The Beifu Army and the Central Army Commander's tent.
Liu Jingxuan stood in the center, with heavily armed generals standing on both sides. Everyone's eyes were fixed on a large flag with the word "Huan" in his hand. Many generals standing in the back row were already filled with emotion. Tears, because they all know that today is the time when the invincible Beifu Army changes its banner!
Liu Laozhi tried his best to put on a relaxed look. He glanced at the faces of everyone present and forced a smile: "Everyone, Ah Shou has made it very clear just now. Duke Huan agreed to all our requests. We will not be held accountable for the crime of rebelling against Sima Yuanxian and provoking a civil war. Our great military exploits in attacking the former Qin Dynasty, capturing Wang Gong, and defeating demon thieves, as well as the titles and official positions given to us because of these wars and pacification of the rebellion, will all be retained. Only The official positions recently awarded by the hypocritical rebel Sima Yuanxian, such as me as General of the Expedition to the West, and Deputy Marshal Gao as Grand Administrator of Wuxing, have been temporarily cancelled. Lao Gao, you are still the bandit general who returned to the Beifu Army. how?"
Gao Su gritted his teeth: "Commander, it doesn't matter if I am promoted or demoted personally, but I still say the same thing, Huan Xuan is definitely not a good person, he has a big grudge against our Beifu Army, and he will never let us go, even if we don't pursue him for a while. , will be liquidated in the future. Although Sima Yuanxian has his problems, there is no choice but us. Even if we do not support Sima Yuanxian, we are still on the side of the court now. With His Majesty’s edict, there is no need to collapse. Xiang Huanxuan."
Sun Wuzhong also said coldly: "Old Liu, our Beifu Army is based on loyalty and has never disobeyed the court's orders. If you make such a move this time, we will never be able to hold our heads up in this life, and our military morale will also be destroyed." It's over. Thank you, Mr. Xuan. Marshal Xuan will hand over the Beifu Army to you. This is a matter of right and wrong, so don't make any mistakes."
Liu Laozhi's face darkened and he said coldly: "Old Gao, Old Sun, I have explained many times that Sima Yuanxian does not represent the court. He controls His Majesty who has difficulty moving or even speaking. He can do whatever he wants. Issuing an edict, this kind of edict, does not count at all. If we are really loyal and righteous, we should get rid of this traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people. His last edict turned the whole country of Wu into rebellion and killed many aristocratic families. Gaomen and the common people of Li, how many of our Beifu army's brothers and sisters died in order to wipe his ass?! But does he have any regrets? If the rebellion is successful, what we need to do is not to appease the people, but to seize the high families of the family. Legal land, while launching a civil war and attacking Jingzhou, how many people from our Beifu army will die and how much blood will be shed for him?"
Gao Su gritted his teeth: "But we are fighting for ourselves, not..."
Liu Laozhi interrupted him and said in a deep voice: "Huan Gong made it very clear that he will not pursue the previous conflicts with us. The previous dispute between Jing and Yang has been around since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, and it did not start from our Beifu." The army started, and after Huan Wen came to power, he also let Huan Chong be in charge of Beifu for a few years, and he had no deep hatred against us. Our Beifu army served the country and stood on the side of the court. Now Huan Wen is fighting against the rebels of the Jin Dynasty, and the world Return to the heart, why should we go against the trend and become the public enemy of the world? Lao Gao, what Sima Yuanxian can give us, Duke Huan will only give more. Don’t be too short-sighted. Don’t only look at the gains and losses of this moment. Good days. It’s still behind.”
Xiang Jing suddenly shouted: "I don't believe there will be any good days in the future. We are soldiers, and soldiers only have those who died in battle, those whose heads were beheaded, and no cowards who surrendered!"
Liu Laozhi's expression changed: "Xiang Jing, what nonsense are you talking about? Where did we surrender?"
Liu Yu's voice sounded powerfully: "Tieniu is not talking nonsense. Our change of flag today is to surrender!"
Liu Laozhi frowned tightly and looked at Liu Yu: "Why are you surrendering? Ji Nu, please pay attention to your words. Don't show off at this time and regret it later!"
Liu Yu stood up, his eyes swept across the faces, and said calmly: "Everyone, do you still remember that when we first joined the army and put on this Beifu military uniform, what we were thinking about was What?"
Tan Pingzhi laughed: "Back then, I offended the dog officer at home, so I had no choice but to join the army. However, when I put on this military uniform, I wanted to join the army to serve the country, defeat the barbarians, and fight back to my hometown!"
Wei Yongzhi also laughed and said: "Yes, we swore an oath to defeat the barbarians and protect our country!"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, this is our original intention. The establishment of the Beifu Army is to protect the country and regain the Han family when powerful enemies are pressing the country and the country is in danger. Country. But what have we done over the years?"
Liu Yi said coldly: "Aren't we always fighting and protecting our country?"
Liu Yu said with enthusiasm: "Conquering the former Qin Dynasty, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and pacifying the demon bandits. But other than that, getting involved in civil wars, fighting with the same room, are these also protecting the family and the country?"
Liu Laozhi gritted his teeth: "Jinu, what do you want to say?"
Liu Yu turned around and looked directly at Liu Laozhi: "What I want to say is that I, Liu Yu, put on this military uniform back then to protect my family and country, to make achievements, to regain the mountains and rivers, and to expedition to the Central Plains. Rather than to become a high-ranking official or dignitary. They are pawns fighting for power. Since taking charge of Beifu, the general has rebelled against Wang Gong and Yuan Xian. Although they both have methods of death, the current Beifu army has completely become a sword in the civil war and a tool for fighting for power. I We can’t see any possibility of realizing our original intention. Since the commander-in-chief just said that all the official positions granted by the hypocritical and rebellious Sima Yuanxian must be deprived, then I, the Jianwu general, should also be deprived. I, Liu Yu, entered the When I was in the Beifu Army, I swore that as long as I wear this military uniform for one day, I will never watch this military flag fall down and be replaced by another flag."
At this point, Liu Yu's eyes were filled with tears. He turned around and looked at the generals who also had tears on their faces: "Brothers and comrades, do you still remember our military flag?!" He pointed at Liu Lao. The commander-in-chief of the Beifu Army behind him said, "In order to keep this banner from falling, we fought thousands of miles in Junchuan, we stood firm in Shouchun and waited for help, we marched forward in Luojian, and we defeated a million enemies in Feishui! For this face The banner can fly all over the lost land in the north. We are reborn from the ashes in Wuqiao Ze. We defend the lonely city in Luoyang. We fight the former Qin, attack the later Yan, fight against the Wei, break Zhang's wishes, and every inch of rivers and mountains are bloody. The world is so big, Where are the loyal souls and bones of our Beifu?!"
There was a burst of heartfelt applause from the crowd: "Jinu said it well, Jinu said it well!"
