Liu Yu sighed: "Next time to pacify Lingnan and Xishu, it seems I have to go there myself."
Wang Miaoyin said sternly: "Brother Yu, you must not do it. Things are different now. You are the one in power, the number one person. You are no longer the former general of Beifu. If it is not a major event like the Northern Expedition, it is not appropriate to go out in person anymore. Capital, This is your biggest battlefield."
Liu Yu sighed softly: "I am currently stationed in Jingkou, not in Jiankang. I just don't want to get involved too much with the high-ranking families. Warfare is my specialty, and the Northern Expedition is my life's wish. I don't want to get involved." It is not my intention to compete for power."
Wang Miaoyin looked at Liu Yu motionlessly: "Brother Yu, you have reached this position and there is no way you can look back. Since ancient times, once those who hold the power in the world lose their power, they will be doomed. Even if you are willing to give in, If you take power, your opponents will not be tolerant to you because you give up. They will kill you to death. You take power for the Northern Expedition, but in the process of taking power, you will inevitably greatly offend the previously superior rentier class. If you lose power, they will take crazy revenge on you. Not only will your Northern Expedition be unable to be realized, it will also be difficult to save the lives of you and your relatives."
Wang Miaoyin's expression was extremely serious, and her voice was sonorous. It was completely different from her usual soft and gentle voice. Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Okay, Miaoyin, I just sighed for a moment. On the first day of entering Beijing, God knows that this is my battlefield, and it is no less dangerous than those who have a narrow escape from death. Now that I am here, I will not leave easily, for me and for those who believe in me and follow me. I was stationed at Jiejingkou before. This is to avoid over-stimulating the noble family, and also to reassure Liu Xile, otherwise he will think that I will take control of the capital while he is away at war. Now I want to avoid direct competition with him, but it does not mean that I will be on the fundamental issue. Give in. Whether he can fight or win the war is up to him, but it is me who has the final say on who goes to fight and who he fights with, do you understand?"
A smile appeared on Wang Miaoyin's face: "This is what you should do. It seems that my brother Yu is unambiguous in matters of right and wrong."
Liu Yu said seriously: "Just before I came to see you, I received two messages. One was Lu Xun from Lingnan, who called himself General Zhennan. He captured Wu Yinzhi, the governor of Guangzhou, Ruan Fangzhi, the Prime Minister of Shixing, and Wang Dan, who was exiled to Guangzhou, asked Wang Dan to report that he had defeated the traitor Huan Xuan for the imperial court and that he was the governor of Guangzhou. He was willing to guard Lingnan for the imperial court and pay tribute. He even gave me a personal gift. "
Wang Miaoyin said with a smile: "Send you a gift? With your endless hatred, what can he give you?"
Liu Yu sighed: "Give me a Lingnan specialty, Zhizhi Zongzi. It is said to be made of five kernels, walnuts and other things wrapped in brown rice and sprinkled with sugar. I ate one yesterday and it tastes good. Do you want it?"
Wang Miaoyin let out a "chi" and laughed: "You can't help but see that he is mocking you for having no brain and that you need to replenish your intelligence."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Of course I know, but it's just like when Zhuge Liang gave Sima Yi women's clothes and laughed at him because he was a woman and didn't dare to fight. But Sima Yi actually put on these women's clothes in front of the messenger, so that Zhuge Liang's The method of provoking the general failed. Me eating this rice dumpling is the best reply to Lu Xun. Of course, I also prepared a generous gift for him to send back."
Wang Miaoyin softly said "Oh": "What are you giving him? It won't be our Jiankang roast duck or goose or something like that. Just warn him that he won't be able to escape with his wings."
Liu Yu shook his head: "What I gave him is our Jingkou specialty, to extend his life."
Wang Miaoyin frowned slightly: "It's actually this." Her beautiful eyes turned and she unconsciously looked at Liu Yu's right arm, but the red thread that sealed her love back then had long since disappeared. A complex look flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head and said nothing.
Liu Yu stepped forward and gently held Wang Miaoyin's hand: "Let bygones be bygones, maybe I really need to eat more walnuts and rice dumplings, otherwise I really can't figure out how to formally fight back against the demon thief. This is a provocation. I agreed to their request and allowed Lu Xun to continue to be the governor of Guangzhou and Xu Daofu to be the prime minister of Shixing. The renewal of the oath was a warning to them that they could live for a few more years if they were honest and honest. If the people of the world are enemies, then there is no chance of extending this life."
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly and looked at Liu Yu: "This thing is very good. It can fully express your attitude and position. You don't need to care about my feelings. Besides, although we don't have this red line on our shoulders now, our hearts are not Are we still together?"
Liu Yu looked into Wang Miaoyin's eyes affectionately: "I have failed you too much in this life, but I promise you that from now on, I will do everything in my power to protect you and never let you be harmed again. .I now have the power to do what I want to do.”
Wang Miaoyin sighed softly, withdrew her hand, and stopped looking into Liu Yu's eyes: "Some things cannot be solved by worldly power, especially feelings. I am like this, and so is she."
Liu Yu felt sad in his heart. Indeed, the entanglement of love and hate for two peerless beauties was something that even a hero like him couldn't solve. Perhaps, not facing it for the time being was the best choice.
He raised his head to look at the moon in the sky and changed the subject: "However, this time I want them to send back Wu Yinzhi, Ruan Fuzhi, and Wang Dan. Lingnan is a vast land with few people and miasma. It is not a place for troops." , when I drove Tianshi Dao to the sea, my original intention was that they could go north across the sea and capture Liaodong as their new home, but I didn’t expect that they would choose to go south. This time when Tianshi Dao attacked Guangzhou City, they set fire to the city and burned it. More than 30,000 innocent people died, which shows that they are still as stubborn as before and do not care about human life in order to achieve their goals. I must eliminate such evil organizations sooner or later and cannot let them continue to harm the people."
Wang Miaoyin looked at Liu Yu: "But now is not the time. It will take time to pacify Jingzhou. Even if Huan Zhen is defeated, if he cannot be killed, the Huan family will continue to return to Jingzhou as long as they escape to the Later Qin or the Northern Wei Dynasty. If you cause trouble, neither Liu Yi nor He Wuji are willing to stay in Jingzhou for a long time, you need a general to sit there."
Liu Yu said seriously: "This is a very troublesome thing for me now. Our Majesty seems to have inherited the glorious tradition of the Sima family, and he also wants the clan to go out of the major prefectures and counties to seize the treasures that the soldiers fought bloody battles for." Country. As the governor of Jingzhou, they plan to give Sima a lieutenant and regain Yizhou, and they also plan to use Sima Rongqi. What do you think about this issue? What do you think, madam?"
