Liu Yu frowned: "Is this really good? After all, Xile is also a famous general, and his prestige in the army is no worse than mine. His strength is needed to conquer the Huru in the north and regain the lost territory."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "It's because he has this strength and is the only person in Jin Dynasty who can compete with you with military merit, so you can't let him do it. Liu Yi doesn't have this of yours." Sentiment, he made great achievements to get himself to the top, and the purpose of getting to the top is to gain more power. He is the second Huan Wen, and he must not be allowed to gain power. If you don’t want real brothers to turn against each other and cause a civil war, it’s best to This gentleman needs to impose more restrictions."
Having said this, Liu Muzhi paused and continued: "Moreover, now that Liu Yi has passed Liu Tingyun, he has also won over many aristocratic families, and even successfully caused a split in the Xie family. Hun has also become Liu Yi's ally under the introduction of Xi Sengshi. And the reason why Yu Yue is willing to work so hard and take the initiative to stand on your side this time is also because he is afraid that Liu Yi will avenge the roasted goose in the early years. .Jinnu, you have to understand one thing. Liu Yi has the ability and ambition to unite aristocratic families. Do not give him this opportunity. If you are really good for him, it is best to let him leave the army and give him a life. If the idle high-ranking official hangs up, even if he wants my position as prime minister, you can give it to him."
Liu Yu was surprised: "How is this possible? If you are not the prime minister, how can I control the court?"
Liu Muzhi smiled bitterly and said: "When necessary, we can only retreat in order to advance. This position of prime minister is not easy to sit in. Liu Yi probably only valued the power of this position, but he didn't know that sitting in this position, he was in In the storm, if he directly seizes the title of this courtier as a soldier, it will break the balance. The first person to fall out with him will be his long-term ally Meng Chang, and then, like Xie Hun, Xi Sengshi These people will also challenge him because they have formed an alliance with Liu Yi and want to sit in this position themselves instead of letting Liu Yi sit."
Liu Yu said thoughtfully: "It is true that as you analyzed it, if it is tempting to use the phase, Xile is probably willing to give up military power. However, in this way, without you as prime minister, many of my things will no longer be able to be done." It’s been implemented.”
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "With Miaoyin here, as long as the alliance between you and him is not broken, we can still ask Xu Xianzhi to handle these things. In the end, Miaoyin will issue the edict to build the seal. In fact, I have thought about it this time, and I will do it temporarily. It may be more beneficial for us to go out for a while, sit in the land of Qingzhou, and temporarily give up the prime minister to Liu Yi for a while. After all, this land of Qingzhou needs stability, I am afraid I have to do it, and secondly, you can return to attack the Tianshi. When I was fighting against the demon thief, I needed Liu Yi's help, and what I'm most afraid of now is that Liu Yi would take the initiative to send troops in order to gain credit from you, which would be troublesome."
Liu Yu said seriously: "This is what I am most worried about. The demon thieves are treacherous and full of tricks. If Xile leaves the water and land stronghold in Liyang, Yuzhou, which has been operating for a long time, and takes the initiative to attack, then we will be at a disadvantage in terms of strength. Our Beifu Army We are not good at fighting on land or on water. The tragedy of Wuji may happen again. Once the demon thieves break through Yuzhou and target Jiankang, it will be really troublesome."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "Fortunately, we have captured Nanyan this time. The most dangerous time has passed. However, after you return to the army, you still have to appease Liu Yi. Even if he can hold the front line of Liyang, he said Gui's achievements in Jingzhou must be ranked below him."
Liu Yu sighed: "Fat man, you are too optimistic. Now is the most dangerous time. If I fail to capture Nanyan, Liu Yi may continue to wait and see. If I withdraw my troops and return to China, he will even hold on until I return to Jiankang." , but now that I have succeeded in destroying the country, it may stimulate him. Now, the possibility of him taking the initiative has greatly increased. "
Liu Muzhi's expression changed: "What should we do?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "I want to edit a book myself, and I'll write it now. Can you help me?"
Liu Muzhi smiled and said, "Why, won't you write it in your own handwriting this time to show your sincerity?"
Liu Yu touched his head in embarrassment: "My handwriting is too ugly. I'm afraid it will make Xile laugh when I write it, but your writing is better."
Liu Muzhi put away his smile and shook his head: "You can't let Liu Yi see that it's my handwriting, otherwise he will suspect that this is my arrangement and refuse to agree. You should write it, using the words I taught you last time." For yours, write it in bigger words, just four or five words on a piece of paper. This will make it look more imposing, and it will look like it is your own handwriting, showing sincerity."
Liu Yu laughed, walked to the bookcase on the side, picked up paper and pen, and started writing quickly. In a moment, he had finished writing on more than thirty pieces of paper. The tension showed through the back of the paper, and Liu Muzhi stood beside him all the time. Behind his back, he was reading and stroking his goatee. It wasn't until Liu Yu finished writing that he picked up the letter and read from the beginning:
"Xile, my brother, I have learned to fight monsters and thieves, and I know how perverted they are. The thieves have gained new profits, and their attacks must not be taken lightly. Now that Nanyan has been destroyed, I should fight with my brother. On the day of peace, the position of prime minister and assistant will be taken. We all respect each other.”
After Liu Muzhi finished reading the last word, he laughed: "Jinnu, your writing skills have really improved a lot. This letter is written. It seems that you don't need my help in the future. You can draft various articles by yourself." It’s an edict.”
Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "After reading so many official documents of yours, even a pig should learn these words. Send it out overnight for me. I don't want any accidents to happen."
Liu Muzhi curled his lips and said: "Liu Cui is still in the army, let him deliver the letter in person. This will also show respect for Liu Yi."
Liu Yu nodded: "Okay, the battle is over. There is no need for his Yanzhou troops to be here. You arrange for them to go on the road with 5,000 men and horses overnight. Liu Cui can lead 500 elite cavalry first, and the infantry will follow later, so that Don’t worry Liu Cui, I will give him a first-class reward for his merits in this battle. Each of his officers and soldiers will have their own rewards, so he will never be left behind."
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "You'd better send Suo Miao and a thousand cavalry to escort you. After all, you may be attacked by Sima Guofan on the way. It's better to be cautious. If there is any accident on the way, you can't explain it clearly." ”
Liu Yu smiled and patted Liu Muzhi on the shoulder: "You are still thoughtful. I will do as you say."
Having said this, he looked in the direction of Guanggu City. In the inner city, the lights were sparse, and cries came from time to time. Liu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured: "Alan, are you really Can it be successful?"
