When Liu Yu said this, his expression was solemn and his voice was like a bell: "The last time the barbarians went south to plunder the people of Jiangbei, if they attack south of the Yangtze River like the demon thieves, or attack Jiankang like Huan Xuan, then they will No matter how much land you have in your name, what’s the use?”
Wang Miaoyin looked at Liu Yu motionlessly, and sighed softly: "Liu Yu, do you know why I am still obsessed with you even though you have hurt me again and again for so many years? Is it because of your righteousness? , No matter how many agreements I reached behind your back or how many power tricks I used, I can't refute it in front of your right path."
"However, it's useless for you to convince me. The greed and short-sightedness of the noble family exceeds your imagination. No matter what, we people can sit down and discuss together. We have a common premise of patriotism and saving the world. But you also know, A family like the Diao family doesn’t care about this at all.”
"As long as you are happy, what if the whole world is destroyed? Even if Huan Xuan invaded the capital last time and destroyed the Jin Dynasty, these families can still change their families and pay money to save their lives."
Having said this, she took a deep breath, looked at Liu Muzhi, and said: "Muzhi, you should know best that this kind of family is the mainstream now, or most of the aristocratic families still have this idea. , only thinking about family interests and ignoring national affairs, but we can't do without them now. If we have a conflict with them now, the country will not be a country. These principles can convince me and convince us Xie family, but they can't explain anything else. family."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, so these agreements require compromise and concessions. It is a big tragedy for the demon thieves to start an army, but it may not be an opportunity for us."
Liu Yu frowned: "Fat man, what nonsense are you talking about? How could such a thing have a chance?"
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Miaoyin said that these greedy, short-sighted, and selfish noble families would not give up their own interests even when they were about to die. If they had not been blackmailed by Huan Xuan, they would have used the wealthy families in Jingzhou to come to the Three Kingdoms." I'm afraid they won't support you so happily if Wu Zhizhi robs their manor. Now the demon thieves have raised their troops and are targeting Jiankang. The only thing standing in front of them is Liu Yi's army. If Liu Yi is defeated, then they I can only count on you. At this time, if you want to put forward some conditions, they must also have to give in. "
Liu Muzhi looked at Murong Lan and said: "The slave has made it very clear just now. He can protect your freedom, but he can no longer protect your people's land, wealth and honor. If you want to survive as a people of the Jin Dynasty in the future, , you have to contribute to the Jin Dynasty, firstly for food, and secondly for atonement. Your soldiers have been fighting hard against us for more than a year, killing and wounding many Jin troops. This debt is not so easy to settle. of."
Murong Lan said solemnly: "But we also eliminated Heipao and saved you. Moreover, this incident was caused by Heipao and the Tiandao Alliance, and innocent tribesmen were also forced to get involved."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "If you are just talking about this war, you are right, but if you are talking about the fact that your Murong family was deeply favored by the Jin Dynasty a hundred years ago and was enfeoffed in western Liaoning, the country is in trouble, and you don't want to serve the country. Instead, you took advantage of the opportunity and established five Yan regimes, provoking wars that swept the entire north for decades. Millions of Han people died in the entire north because of you. Can you? Are you putting all these sins on Murong Chui alone?"
Liu Muzhi was always laughing and joking. With his fat figure, he looked like a good-tempered rich man. But when he said these words, his expression was solemn and resounding. At this moment, he showed the majesty of an iron-blooded prime minister, even if he was physically weak. Murong Lan, who had experienced hundreds of battles, was also shocked by this momentum in front of him, and was unable to refute for a while.
Liu Muzhi saw Murong Lan's expression and sighed: "Your people are not innocent. They have all participated in the wars of Murong's Yan Kingdom in the past decades to varying degrees. Although they have suffered and suffered, , but almost everyone has blood on their hands and hatred. This time, the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, but the life can be saved. This is already the kindness of being a slave. If you want to stay in the Central Plains for the rest of your life, you must find a way to work harder and redeem yourself. Pay back your own sins.”
"It was the Tiandao Alliance, the black robe, and the cloak that brought you to this point. Now the black robe has been defeated, but the cloak is still there. If you want to take revenge and break the curse of that holy tree, you must defeat it. Only the cloak will do. This is not to send you to the front as a scapegoat, but to give you a chance for revenge and an opportunity to make meritorious deeds."
Murong Lan said in a deep voice: "Do you want our people to continue fighting for the Jin Dynasty and fight against the Tiandao Alliance?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "In this Guanggu battle, your 100,000-strong army has been wiped out, and the remaining combatable troops are less than 30,000. Originally, according to Miaoyin's plan, your 30,000 troops were divided into It will be divided among the hundreds of aristocratic families who came to Qingzhou after the war, and their families and property will be occupied by these families, but now, you can have a chance to escape this fate, but this must be done through your own efforts."
Murong Lan gritted his teeth: "We have fought hard for a year and are very tired. At this time, it is not appropriate to go to the battlefield again."
Liu Muzhi said solemnly: "The Jin army that fought against Yan for a year is just as tired, or even more tired, but won't it have to return to deal with the monsters and thieves next? Since they want to submit to Jin, they are the people of Jin. Now The country is still in trouble, do you think it’s appropriate for you to stay out of it at this time?”
Murong Lan's beautiful eyebrows frowned: "You said it yourself just now, if you don't meet the conditions of the noble family who want to establish a private army and make us slaves for generations, the next war will be between this guy and the demon thief right before our eyes. They will not support the war. Without money and food, even if we want to go out, we are powerless."
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "This is easy, as long as you can spare five thousand elite cavalry to follow the army, and then the remaining 20,000 cavalry will be temporarily hired by the noble families to help them look after their homes and guard various places. ranch, while their families stayed in Guanggu to rebuild.”
"In this way, the noble family will temporarily have the manpower to defend their new food town, and the Jin Dynasty will also get the cavalry to put down the rebellion, and you will also have the opportunity to redeem yourself with meritorious service and get rewards. After you have achieved military exploits, you can settle down in Qingzhou on your own. , in the future, you can gradually integrate into the Han people and become an inseparable part of the Central Plains. Isn't this what you want?"
