Liu Yu was a little surprised: "I am a Cavalry General. Normally, if Xi Le is promoted to a military rank, it is best to be a Cavalry General. Why would he be given a Guard General? According to the law, this should be responsible for guarding the capital. A general who conflicts with his appointment as governor of Yuzhou as a foreign vassal."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "Jinu didn't understand the profound meaning of this. Miaoyin's arrangement is really high. When I heard it just now, I deeply admired it. When the Xie family went on the Northern Expedition, they added Xie Xianggong as the general of the army. , and let Marshal Xuan lead General Zhenbei to send out troops. What Miaoyin did today has the same effect but the same approach."
Liu Yu understood it all at once and nodded: "It's true. General Wei has been in control of the troops and horses inside and outside the capital since ancient times. He protects the safety of the royal family and officials in the court. He has a vague meaning of sitting in the rear and controlling everything. He can It is said that he is not an emperor, but is better than an emperor. If Xi Le gets this position, he will have to temporarily guard the capital, or in other words, he will go to Liyang in Yuzhou or Gushe in Jiangbei to defend the capital."
Wang Miaoyin said sternly: "Yes, you are a cavalry general, the same level as his general Wei, but you can fight in the front without having to listen to his orders. He has this title and can guard the rear with peace of mind. In fact, even if you kill him When he goes to Yuzhou, Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi, as his agents in the DPRK, will try their best to cause trouble, but with Meng Chang here, they will not ruin the frontline affairs. If Liu Yi has the title of General Wei, he will be justified It is also his duty to mobilize military supplies to support the Northern Expedition. If there is a problem with the frontline supply or reinforcements fail, it will be his responsibility. It is not a bad thing to give him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and let him shoulder this responsibility. .”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "But, in this case, what if Liu Tingyun continues to do mischief? Are you so confident that I will give my entire back to Xile?"
Liu Muzhi looked at Liu Yu: "Then are you relieved?"
Liu Yu pondered for a while and said: "Now Xile should not be like Xi Chao who harmed tens of thousands of Northern Expedition soldiers. What I am really worried about is that Xie Hun, Xi Sengshi and the others, the children of these aristocratic families, in order to protect With the power of my family, I can do anything. Besides, the weapons and food on the front line are enough for three to four months. Even if Xi Le cuts off assistance to the front line, as long as we can successfully enter the Lunan Plain by then, If we defeat the Yan army's counterattack, we can take the enemy's food and use Qingzhou's manpower."
Wang Miaoyin smiled and said: "You are not worried anymore, so what do we have to worry about? However, if Murong harvests the wheat early and leaves no food and grass for our army, what will you do?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Xianbei ugly people always value small profits and are reluctant to give up the present. They will break the peace treaty and kidnap our people just for the sake of a small face. How can they not harvest the wheat that is about to mature for harvest?" What? If they really have this consciousness, they will block us in the Daxian Mountain area and prevent our army from entering Lunan. Once they let us in, they will only hope to defeat our army in one battle with their iron cavalry. I won’t even consider the option of strengthening the wall and clearing the country, this is a military aircraft, don’t worry about the wonderful news.”
Wang Miaoyin breathed a long sigh of relief: "I really don't know much about this military affairs. Just be sure of it yourself. Before setting off, you'd better let Xu Xianzhi keep an eye on Jiankang City. At least, Mu Zhi and I While you're away, don't let Hei Pao or his men ruin things here."
Liu Yu said seriously: "The most ruthless move I can think of is to seize the opportunity to kidnap Sima Dezong, and then issue an edict saying that I am a traitor and must be punished. But as long as Xianzhi assists Sima Dewen to guard the palace, in this regard It’s impossible.”
Liu Muzhi solemnly said: "Don't take it lightly. Sima Yao died in an unknown manner back then. If such a trick is repeated, the useless Sima Dezong suddenly dies, and then Sima Dewen comes to power and says that it was you who instigated it." , it’s not impossible.”
Liu Yu frowned: "Then is there any way to prevent this trick? Sima Yao was suffocated to death by Mrs. Zhang, but it was also because he was lustful and drunk, and did not want our protection and insisted on asking Mrs. Zhang to sleep with him. This cost me my life. If Miaoyin is with Sima Dewen, of course I won’t worry, but..."
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "I will handle this matter before I leave. I will arrange for all the secret guards at my mother's place to come into the palace to protect them. I will never put Sima Dezong in danger. Sima Dewen's place will be watched with envy. , I think, people will not easily arouse the ambition of this prince. In fact, the two brothers should know that the current situation is the most beneficial to them. In that position, an emperor who is like a walking corpse will Let everyone rest assured that once Sima Dezong is replaced by Sima Dewen, I am afraid that a new round of fighting will begin again."
Liu Yu nodded: "That makes sense. However, in this Northern Expedition, various interests must be taken into account. The same goes for the Sima royal family. In the last western expedition to Jingzhou, Sima Xiuzhi and Sima Rongqi both I came together to do meritorious service, but in the end I failed. Sima Xiuzhi was also punished and dismissed from office because of the loss of Jiangling. In the past two years, people in the Sima clan have often rebelled, and the outside world has disobedient intentions towards me, so I cut off the Sima clan. There are also some remarks. In this Northern Expedition, I took Sima Xiuzhi with me. He had stayed in Nanyan before and was familiar with the situation there. Give him a chance to make meritorious deeds and reward him based on his merits when he comes back. You can also let those who People have nothing to say.”
Liu Muzhi laughed: "You will definitely bring Ah Shou with you this time. After making so many concessions to Xile, you must make him agree to this."
Liu Yu sighed: "Last time there was such a big incident in Nanyan, Yazhi died, and he also formed a big feud with Nanyan. What happened this time is also a continuation of the last time. The grudges between our Dajin and the Murong family The grudges that have lasted for decades are finally coming to an end. Giving all those who have grudges a chance to take revenge is what I should do."
Wang Miaoyin laughed and said: "But Liu Jingxuan doesn't have a single soldier under his command now. He has at most a hundred servants to protect him. Are you really sure he can help you?"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Even if there is only Ashou alone, I will take him there. This has nothing to do with whether he can help me, but I must let him stand up from where he falls!" Otherwise, there’s no point talking about brothers.”
Liu Muzhi smiled and nodded: "That's good. In addition to Ah Shou, Yang Muzhi, who is a descendant of the Taiyang family, must also be brought with him. While making contributions, he can take back his ancestral county seat. Be happy!"
