Liu Yu closed his eyes, and his chest was rising and falling sharply, showing the struggle and struggle in his heart at this moment. No matter how reasonable Liu Muzhi said, he also knew that by doing so, he could temporarily win political power. Victory, but in the end it was against his own conscience. In his life, he has only done this kind of thing against his conscience once. When Huan Xuan came to power, he was forced to surrender to him. Looking back on this incident now, I still feel I can't sleep at night, and my heart is like a knife. Do I have to do it again this time for my great cause and ideals?
The past events came to mind, and the faces of living and dead enemies and friends appeared in front of him again, and in his ears, what came were the deafening sounds of fighting, the cries of women and children, and some proud laughter. Sound, just like the main theme of this world, everything is in chaos, and the world is like a long night. I returned to this world and went through countless hardships. Isn't it just to advance the great cause created by the great man of later generations by more than a thousand years? Realized? Compared with this ambitious goal, what are the unintended actions in front of us? If he continues to be stubborn, not only Wang Miaoyin, but also Liu Muzhi may turn away from him.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu opened his eyes, looked at Liu Muzhi, and said calmly: "Fat man, I have to thank you, thank you for your advice, and for analyzing the pros and cons for me. Give up the phase and come to this place in Qingzhou , you must also make sacrifices and compromises for me."
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "This is also a helpless move. Here in Qingzhou, we need capable people to take charge. Murong Lan can control their Xianbei people, but he cannot control the powerful Han people, let alone Yang Muzhi and the remaining garrison. If you obey orders and don't handle it well, for example, if someone deliberately causes trouble and provokes revenge or vendetta between Han and Hu, then there is the possibility of chaos here, and only I can control the situation here."
Liu Yu frowned: "Why don't you go back with me? With Alan here, let Ah Shou sit here as the governor, and there will be no problem."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "You won't be able to rest after you go back, but you will continue to fight against the demon thieves. If we are fighting within the Jin Kingdom, it won't be a big problem if I am missing. But Ah Shou is loyal and reliable, and he has Talents like generals are rare but hard to come by. Moreover, the meaning of Miaoyin's words just now is already obvious. The Jingba Party now lacks a giant. You need another one with sufficient qualifications and prestige to top He Wuji. Location."
Liu Yu's eyes lit up: "You mean, she and the noble family are willing to support Ah Shou to become the third giant of the Beijing Eighth Party?"
Liu Muzhi nodded: "As long as you are here in Nanyan and can bring enough benefits to the family, they will have no reason to offend you. Wuji was also on your side before, and his qualifications and prestige are even higher than his. I am afraid no one will object to Liu Jingxuan except Liu Yi. The reason for Liu Yi's objection in the past was that Ah Shou had betrayed the country and fled to Nanyan, and he had not made any meritorious service in the Battle of Jingkou Jianyi. But now, Nanyan has been destroyed. Ah Shou made great achievements in this battle. The stains in the past have been washed away. His great contribution to destroying the country is no less than the Battle of Jianyi. The credit has been made up. Even if Liu Yi wanted to object, he could not. Give me a clear excuse."
"As for the high-ranking family, because Liu Laozhi surrendered to Huan Xuan, he betrayed the high-ranking family of Jiankang once, so he also held a grudge. Even if he didn't know how to help Liu Yi, he would at least not speak for Liu Jingxuan. But this time , if you can satisfy the nobles of the family in Nanyan and eliminate the demon thieves in the future, Qingzhou will become an important border town. The important states of the Jin Dynasty are Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou. The three giants will definitely start from these four Selected from among the state guards.”
"Liu Jingxuan can serve as the governor of Qingzhou and become one of the three giants in the outside world. If you continue to hold the land of Yangzhou and Jingzhou, you can give it to Liu Yi together with Yuzhou to appease his heart. In this way, Liu Yi can neither enter the court nor When you are in charge of government, you cannot rely on the power of the two states to conduct the Northern Expedition on your own. In the future, when the new generation of Beifu major generals grow up, they are the four successors you want to find this time. When they can take charge of their own affairs and achieve success in the Northern Expedition, you can If the Big Three continue to expand, and even at that time, Liu Yi is promoted and demoted secretly, and his military power is deprived, then it is unlikely that he will encounter resistance and trigger a civil war."
Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief: "That means, this time Ah Shou and I will go back to pacify the demon thieves. You can use this time to reorganize Qingzhou with Murong Lan, and then give Ah Shou a ready-made important town for him to use." Room for it, huh?”
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Yes, actually Ah Shou is not stupid. He also deliberately made friends this time and recruited people like Pilü Daoxiu to become his right-hand man. He also planned to use Qingzhou's Han people to develop here. The idea of power is just that this may cause a conflict with the Xianbei people of the Murong clan. After all, many years ago, the hatred between the Han and Hu sides in Qingzhou was not small. After the destruction of Nanyan, the Han people took revenge on the Xianbei people. , it’s also to be expected, if I hadn’t handled it, it would have been very difficult.”
Liu Yu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Fatty. I hope that after tomorrow, you and Murong Lan can unite here sincerely to resolve the hatred between Han and Hu, so that Qingzhou can be stable from now on, and there will no longer be any Hatred and war.”
A hint of joy flashed across Liu Muzhi's face: "Have you agreed to this proposal?"
Liu Yu sighed: "Although this will aggrieve Murong Lan, I'm afraid it's the only way to break the situation. The demon thieves in the rear must be put down as soon as possible, and the matter between Xile and I will eventually be resolved. At this time, I won't I hope that Qingzhou will become troublesome. I even hope that this place can quickly provide enough troops, food and grass to put down the chaos of demon thieves."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "Why, after besieging Guanggu for a year, and receiving support from Qingzhou's local manpower, grain, grass and ordnance for a year, now you have tasted the benefits and can't live without it?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Fighting Guanggu and pacifying demon thieves are still different. Fighting in Qingzhou, these wealthy families are willing to provide food and people, but if they transport food thousands of miles to fight in Jiangnan, they should be unwilling. Thinking about it this way, Jiankang The high-ranking families in the city can provide military supplies for the army to fight for a year. They have really invested a lot of money. If all the places in the Jin Dynasty can support each other like this, there is no need to worry about big things happening! After the ceremony of leaving the city tomorrow, I will personally Convince Murong Lan, Fatty, you have to help me when the time comes."
A smile appeared on Liu Muzhi's lips: "Then you have to prepare a good wedding ceremony to make up for Murong Lan. Leave this to me. I promise that tomorrow will be the most unforgettable day for you. .”
