Liu Yu sighed: "Liu Kun is really a tough-minded hero. If the mafia is guarded by people like this, how can it fail to achieve great things?"
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "The four major mafia guards in the first generation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty when they were crossing to the south, Liu Kun, Zu Ti, Wang Dao, and Xi Jian, although they all had outstanding abilities, they were not monolithic. They still had their own selfish motives and interacted with each other. Although they mainly cooperate with each other, there are also rivalries and even troubles. For example, Liu Kun defends the north alone, but only Zu Ti really wants to save him. Director Wang and Xi Jian more want to pacify Jiangnan and carve out a piece of land for themselves. Heaven and Earth are in a state of giving up on Liu Kun in the north, and they have not even provided substantial help to Zu Ti in his Northern Expedition to the Central Plains."
"Even Liu Kun and Zu Ti, who have been studying and practicing swordplay together since they were young, and who danced after hearing the chicken, are now dominating the party and have their own ideas. Liu Kun's defeat is definitely something that even he knows. , but because he didn’t want to lose his foundation and face, although he handed over the Xuanwu Seal, he did not hand over the Xuanwu line’s troops, money and food, and still controlled it in his own name.”
Liu Yu frowned: "No one would want to give up the foundation they have laid to others like this. Moreover, the situation at that time was whether to defend the south of the Yangtze River or to go north to the Central Plains. Everyone's opinions could not be unified. The four major guards could cooperate like this. It's good that those people plotted against each other like they did later. After all, the situation at that time was very critical, and we can't blame our seniors too harshly."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "Yes, I just want to say that the four guards will still have their own selfish motives and cannot be solely for others and the country. Liu Kun has made friends with many barbarian heroes in the north over the years. If he returned to the southern Jin Dynasty, it would be equivalent to giving up these resources in vain, which was absolutely unacceptable. Therefore, when he took the risk to join the Duan family in Xianbei, he also left his contact information with the grasslands beyond the Great Wall, in case something happened. If he fails, it will give the successors of the Xuanwu line a chance to contact these people."
Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief: "So, the connection method Xuanwu left for you is with the Tuoba tribe, is it Tuoba Si?"
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "Brother Yu, you guessed wrong this time. It stands to reason that the Tuoba tribe was Liu Kun's biggest helper back then, but his failure was also due to the internal strife in the Tuoba tribe. Tuoba Sixth Cultivator killed his father. Liu Kun's sworn brother, Tuoba Pugen, was not sure whether the civil strife in the Tuoba tribe would be settled. He was not sure whether the Tuoba Sixth Cultivator would in turn become his enemy. Therefore, the contact he left The people are not the Tuoba tribe. They are the Helan tribe."
Liu Yu was surprised: "How could it be the Helan tribe?"
Wang Miaoyin laughed and said: "The Helan tribe has always provided wizards and witches on the grassland. Since the Tuoba tribe took control of the grassland, they have been married to it for a long time, but they still have a master-slave relationship with large tribes such as the Helan tribe and the Dugu tribe. Back then, the Huns Han and Zhao were preparing to capture Chang'an and attack Guanzhong, but Liu Kun and Tuoba Pu had planned to send troops to rescue the late Western Jin Dynasty emperor in Chang'an. However, the risks of this battle were high and the two were not sure, so they turned to the wizards of the Helan tribe, who were also their The patriarch Helan Tianxiong divined, and the result of Helan Tianxiong's divination was that the Xiongnu, Han and Zhao armies would be unlucky this time, and the Guanzhong Jin army would defeat the Xiongnu army, so the two did not send troops."
Liu Yu sighed: "The result of this divination is wrong. We all know that in the end the Huns captured Chang'an and captured the Jin Emperor, and the Western Jin Dynasty also perished. Such a big mistake was made. This Helan Tianxiong should be sentenced to death to thank the world. Bar."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "Logically speaking, this should be the way to deal with it, but Liu Kun advised Tuoba Pugen, saying that the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to kill Helan Tianxiong. It is better to save his life in exchange for Helan Tianxiong." The Lan tribe would be loyal to the Tuoba tribe in the future. Tuoba Pugen listened to this suggestion and spared Helan Tianxiong's life. Helan Tianxiong was so grateful to Liu Kun from then on that he took out the Helan tribe's sacred tree dagger as a token on the spot. I gave it to Liu Kun, saying that in the future, whenever Liu Kun or someone entrusted by him comes to see me with this, Helan Department will work for him no matter when and where."
Liu Yu smiled and said: "It seems that being a good person is to accumulate character and popularity for oneself. It is not without reason that Liu Kun was able to make so many barbarian heroes in the north back then. It's a pity that he can't enjoy this fruit himself. I I don’t understand why he left Helan’s family alone and went to find Duan’s family?”
Wang Miaoyin said: "Firstly, it's because the Duan tribe was much stronger than the Helan tribe at that time. The Helan tribe was just a small tribe with only four or five hundred tents, while the Duan clan had more than 100,000 tents and several iron cavalry. Wan, otherwise it would not have become a force to counter Shi Le. Secondly, Liu Kun also had a kindness to the Duan family, no less than Helan Tianxiong. At first, the Duan family also took in and protected Liu Kun, but later Shi Le used counterintelligence. The plan made Duan Mozhe, the leader of the Duan clan, think that Liu Kun was buying people's hearts and wanted to seize his tribe, so he turned against him. Even if Liu Kun were to choose again now, he would probably seek refuge with the Duan clan."
Liu Yu sighed: "I can't defeat the Hulu myself, so I can only rely on foreign aid. Today I rely on the Tuoba clan, tomorrow I join forces with the Duan clan, and the day after tomorrow I rely on the Helan clan. It is not a long-term solution. Although Liu Kun is a great hero, he is not strong enough." , only relying on the relationship with the Hu people, he ultimately failed. In this regard, he is not as good as Zu Ti."
After Liu Yu finished sighing, he said: "Then you relied on this token to contact the Helan tribe? Why didn't all the Xuanwu dynasties, including Xie An, think of this so many years ago?"
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "Things are not that easy. After Liu Kun's defeat, Zu Ti originally wanted to use this token to contact the Hu tribes on the northern grasslands and attack Shi Le from the north and the south. However, the new Xuanwu did not agree, and even later the Jin Dynasty Emperor Sima Rui of the Yuan Dynasty also wanted to annex Zu Ti's troops and sent people to take over the territory of Yuzhou. Zu Ti died of a disease filled with hatred. From then on, no one really wanted to go to the Northern Expedition for decades. Even when Xianggong was in power, he could only stabilize the situation. Deal with the internal affairs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty without thinking about the distant grasslands."
"Besides, the situation on the grassland is also changing. After decades of civil strife in the Tuoba tribe, a promising king named Tuoba Shi Yijian emerged, reunifying the grassland and establishing the Dai Kingdom, while the Helan tribe, Tribes like the Dugu Tribe also took the opportunity to develop and grow. The Helan Tribe, which was just a wizard and a witch at the time, has now become a large tribe with tens of thousands of tents. Dai Guo also intended to make a difference in these troubled times, but it was a pity that they encountered civil strife again. , father and son killed each other, and finally gave the former Qin the opportunity to destroy the country in one fell swoop, and the Helan tribe and the Dugu tribe also surrendered to the former Qin Dynasty. It’s not like Mr. Xianggong has not considered uniting with the Helan tribe to cause trouble behind enemy lines."
