Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, as far as I know, most of the shops are jointly owned by Xile and major aristocratic families. The shops belong to the aristocratic families, the management belongs to Xile, and the money earned is split 50-50. Otherwise, why would so many descendants of aristocratic families do this? What about following Xile? In return for joining the army this time, a large number of children from aristocratic families have made great achievements with Xile. Now that you have destroyed the Wang family, the Diao family, and the Huan family, will Xile think that your real target is actually him? "
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, at most Xi Le just wants to gain their support by joining forces with the aristocratic families, and then based on his own military exploits, he can compete with me openly for the position of the eldest brother of the Beifu Army. This shop in Tingyun, It should be an accident, otherwise a lot of things like this would have happened long ago, and it’s impossible for me to have no news.”
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Xile gave most of the shops to his brothers. Only a few dozen shops were contracted like this, and the other shops were mostly owned by the Xie family, Xi family, As for the Yu family, they can negotiate well with the brothers who own the shop, and they can even temporarily allow the Beifu brothers to continue running the business temporarily, and then pay it back after making money, which happens to be the shop of Tingyun..."
Liu Yu frowned: "What do you mean? Is there anything special about Tingyun's shop?"
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "Because of Shui Sheng, isn't it because of Shui Sheng that you care so much about Ting Yun because of Shui Sheng's relationship back then?"
Liu Yu's eyes suddenly widened: "Do you mean to say that this incident is a conspiracy specifically targeting me and taking advantage of my relationship with Shui Sheng?"
Liu Muzhi said seriously: "I have just realized this, otherwise, I will stop your impulse outside the city no matter what. Wang Yu is famous for being greedy and vicious, and let Tingyun's shop follow his If there is a dispute, he will definitely kill him in the end."
Liu Yu shook his head in disbelief: "I don't believe it. Xile should not deliberately harm me like this. He should understand by now that conflict with me at this time will not benefit anyone."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "I checked and found out that Xile distributed most of the property deeds to his brothers. These contracts involved disputes with other aristocratic families and were inconvenient to handle in person. , he gave them all to Luo Bing, and Luo Bing bought these contracts from him and then sold them to other brothers. Maybe we have ignored such a small person."
Liu Yu stamped his feet bitterly: "I thought this boy had explained everything, but he is the biggest clue. When I killed him, he didn't ask for mercy. It's really strange!"
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips and said: "The person who can plan such a big conspiracy may have more means than you and I imagine to control these running dogs. If you check the background of the Luo family carefully, it is not simple. Although he is a local tycoon in Yongjia, but They have an inexplicable relationship with big families such as the Huan family and the Wang family. This time they came to Jiankang with their whole family. It was probably a game of chess that had been arranged long ago. Now that you have destroyed the Wang Yuman family, you will also kill them all. If you leave the Diao family and the Huan family, the high-ranking families will definitely be afraid of you. Once Xi Le comes back, they will quickly fall to Xi Le. In this way, it will be difficult to avoid divisions and fights within the Beifu Army. "
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "I will make it clear to Xile that this time is just to avenge the Tingyun brothers, and has no other meaning. As for the industrial contracts he handled before, and the shops he will cooperate with the aristocratic families in the future, I There will be no further investigation. The matter ends here."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "I'm afraid this can't be settled by your statement like this. Xile originally made concessions to you just for the position of coach of the Western Expedition, and this position was also to facilitate his own meritorious service. Now with Huan Zhen The decisive battle is about to begin. If he is allowed to collect Huan Zhen’s head in the end and seize this great achievement, then he will definitely speed up his fight for power with you when he comes back, and it will be useless for you to explain."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Believe me, Xile will not personally confront Huan Zhen this time."
Liu Muzhi was a little surprised: "Why is this?"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Because Huan Zhen counterattacked Jiangling this time and drove away Sima Xiuzhi, but allowed Lu Zongzhi to take the opportunity to raid his hometown in Jiachuan. Now Huan Zhen is desperate, but there are still a lot of troops, and he is eager to fight. , when seeking to confront the main force of the Western Expeditionary Army, if he is allowed to win a decisive battle, there is still hope of a comeback. Otherwise, even if Xile closes the camp and insists on not fighting, his subordinates will only slowly lose. For Xile, , victory is already in the bag, and we need to avoid losses as much as possible at this time. He will not have a decisive battle with Huan Zhen at this time."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "This is a military plan, not my specialty. However, even if Xile insists on not fighting, won't he be able to win in the end? It will only take a while at most."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I have already arranged a special force to deal with Huan Zhen before Xile. I have been hiding this from you. Today, all the plans are in place and I can tell you the truth."
Liu Muzhi opened his eyes wide: "What, you arranged other armies to fight against Huan Zhen? In the land of Jingzhou, which other army has such strength? Lu Zongzhi was defeated by Huan Zhen before and occupied Jichuan River , it is impossible to suppress Huan again, and He Wuji was also defeated, losing more than half, including Liu Daogui's troops, who were all reduced to join forces with Liu Yi, how can there be other troops?"
Liu Yu smiled and said: "If there is no such thing in Jingzhou, why can't it be found in other places? Don't forget that Ah Shou has been standing still in Jiangzhou."
Liu Muzhi said in surprise: "You want Ah Shou to send troops to fight Huan Zhen? This is impossible. You don't know the relationship between Xile and Ah Shou. Don't cause direct discord on the front line and affect the overall situation."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Of course I won't let Ah Shou send troops, but I left a move early for Ah Shou's men, that is, my good cousin, Liu Huaisu, who grew up with me on my aunt's milk."
Liu Muzhi turned to smile and said, "I had forgotten about him. Your cousin is also the most brave general of the Beifu. He followed Ashou in the north and south and made a lot of achievements. He is also a member of your clan. He can definitely be trusted, but after all, he is only Ah Shou's deputy general. Is it really okay to ask him to deal with Huan Zhen's army alone?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I have already given Huaisu a strategy for the war, and this time I gave him a method of rushing to help. How can a general win a decisive victory on the battlefield? If everything goes well, Huaisu will definitely make a great contribution and eliminate the enemy. Huan Zhen’s! I have full confidence in this."
