Two days later, outside Jiangling City, the Beifu Army camp was located.
In the Chinese army commander's tent, there were only two people sitting opposite each other. Liu Yi was wearing a general's robe and armor, with a calm expression. What came to his ears were the cheers from the camp outside the tent. In front of him, there were A bald head, it was the head of an old monk with white eyebrows in his fifties. Xu Xianzhi was still dressed in a long-lasting dress, with a green shirt and a crown. Looking at the head, he sighed softly: "I hope Le, it is unpopular to kill monks indiscriminately. Even if Monk Quan had protected Huan Wei and covered his escape, he would not be so ruthless."
Liu Yi said coldly: "I have issued a hunting order for the Huan family. No matter whether they are Buddhists or Taoists or old officials of the Huan family, anyone who dares to hide the remnants of the Huan family will be killed. This person from Woniu Temple Abbot Daoquan, the monk, openly defied me, so I had no choice but to use his head to establish a prestige in Jingzhou. Jinu could destroy Wang Yu's entire clan in Jiankang, why should I not be able to kill this monk in Jingzhou? "
Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "Woniu Temple is a famous temple in Jingzhou. This monk is a disciple of the eminent monk Shi Dao'an. He has been the abbot of Woniu Temple for many years and has received a lot of care from the Huan family. Now that the Huan family is in trouble, Huan Wei After being defeated and fleeing, he temporarily took refuge in the temple. Whether it was out of the principle of repayment or the Buddhist law of compassion, there was nothing wrong with what he did. If you kill him now, you can't catch up with Huan Wei, so why bother doing this? Where are the evildoers?”
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "If I just want to go back after this battle and never come back, then there is really no need to be such a bad person, but if I want to sit in Jingzhou and achieve great achievements in the future, I have to establish myself here. Wei. Xianzhi, can you understand what I mean?"
Xu Xianzhi frowned: "Why, do you want to follow Huan Wen's old path and separate Jingzhou to become independent?"
Liu Yi said with a smile: "At least leave a way out. This time I conquered the West and eliminated the two Huanchu emperors Huanxuan and Huanzhen, and completely pacified Jingzhou, which had never been controlled since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. But such a great achievement, but I still cannot become the number one person in the court. As long as the slave is still there, the initiative is in his hands. I have to prepare myself in advance, and I cannot be controlled by others forever."
Xu Xianzhi sighed: "Actually, if you don't want to compete with Jinnu for the position of the eldest brother of Beifu, then everything is fine. Jinu has now immigrated to Jiangbei, collecting grain and grass, and is obviously preparing for the Northern Expedition to the Hulu. If you stay here, Jingzhou, replace a new batch of soldiers and horses, whether it is to conquer Western Shu or to pacify Lingnan, it will be a great achievement. When the time comes, you and Jinnu will each get what you need, and each will send an army to the north, and everyone will be happy, wouldn't it be better?"
Liu Yi's face darkened: "Lord Suzaku, have you forgotten your identity?"
Xu Xianzhi gritted his teeth: "I have never forgotten it. This is why I am with you, Lord Baihu, instead of on the side of the slave."
Liu Yi nodded: "As long as you haven't forgotten, our organization must represent the interests of aristocratic families. Although I am from a lower-class noble family, I have now joined a new aristocratic family. Even if I am a noble family, I have to safeguard my own interests. The things that Ji Nu is doing now are completely opposite to those of us emerging aristocratic families and our Black Hand Qiankun. It’s not that I want to go against him, but that we must safeguard our own fundamental interests. Do you understand?” Jiuzhou Chinese
Xu Xianzhi sighed: "Jinu didn't kill all the aristocratic families. Wang Yu and the others are looking for death. Now you are leaving Jingzhou, which you finally conquered, to run, but you want to go back to Jiankang to fight for power with him. Is this really okay? ?”
Liu Yi laughed: "If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to go back, will there be a better time in the future? I have made great achievements, and sending slaves has offended the noble family. Now that I go back, the noble family of the Jin Dynasty will inevitably They will all turn to me. With the support of the aristocratic family, I can first overthrow Wang Mi, the spokesman for the slaves, and help Xie Hun become the prime minister. In this way, I will have the final say in the government from now on. I don’t have to be controlled by slaves anymore. Even if it’s the Northern Expedition or counterinsurgency, it’s up to me to decide. Even Wuji will be on my side when the time comes.”
Xu Xianzhi curled his lips: "Are you really sure you can succeed? I'm afraid even the Xie family may not be on your side. Don't forget that there is a wife above Hun Xie."
Liu Yi waved his hand disapprovingly: "Immigrating to Jiangbei is an enemy of all high-ranking families. I know this very well. Even if Madam turns against Liu Yu again, she cannot offend the public. I will bring down Wang Mi first, and then support her." Going to Xie Hun will be of great benefit to the Xie family. If Madam strongly opposes this matter, she will not be able to pass the Xie family first. Taking this opportunity to let Xie Hun take charge in the Xie family, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "Things about high-ranking families are not as simple as you think. Especially these centuries-old families have their own internal regulations, which cannot be changed by borrowing external force. Xile, I still don't recommend that you go back now. Fight with the slaves. This time Liu Huaisu deliberately released Huan Zhen and asked Tang Xing to kill him. Obviously, he gave the credit to you. You can't be too ignorant of good and bad."
Liu Yi's expression changed and he said sternly: "Good or bad? I need Liu Yu's pity and charity? As the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army, brothers Liu Huaisu and Wei Yongzhi secretly sent troops, and they didn't even say hello to me. You took away the credit for destroying the last army of Huan Chu, and left Huan Zhen for me to kill. Is this a sign of goodwill to me? I slap you in the face and rub it again. Do you think this is giving me face? "
Xu Xianzhi sighed: "Xile, don't always think about sending slaves like this. If he really wants to suppress you, there are many ways, and there is no need to use such means. I think..."
Liu Yi waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, Xianzhi, stop talking. This is how Jinu tells all the Jingba brothers, and even tells the world that even if others are in Jiankang, thousands of miles away, they are safe." He firmly controls the entire army, and I, Liu Yi, can always be subordinate to him. I can take what he gives, no, it should be said that he gives charity, otherwise, he can find someone to take it away at any time, including my handsome man. This is the reason why I can't stay in Jingzhou. If this continues, he can find someone to replace me at any time. All the results I have worked hard to prepare will finally be used as a wedding dress for others! "
Xu Xianzhi was silent for a while and then said: "If you have made up your mind, I can't say much. I came to you today to tell you that there is someone here in the camp who may be useful to you."
Liu Yi stood up with a smile and patted Xu Xianzhi on the shoulder: "Tao Yuanming is a nigger, right? Just wait for him. Let's go."
