Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, Uncle Zhong, to me, is not only the leader who led me into the military camp, but also the mentor who taught me basic battle formation techniques. Although many of these military skills were learned when I was in Jingkou. I discussed it with many veterans, but he was the first to forcefully train us to obey through drills. If it hadn't been for him, I probably wouldn't have become a qualified warrior.
"The teacher's kindness is as great as a mountain. It is true that Tao Yuanming nodded at this point: you should avenge him. But doesn't Huan Xuan know this? And why didn't Sun Wuzhong take you with him?"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Perhaps Huan Xuan thought that I relied on the Xie family's connections to get ahead in the army. He was just a general who had led me before, and he didn't have such deep feelings for Sun Wuzhong. After all, in After only about a year in the army, I was assigned to the Tiger Force under Liu Laozhi, and I basically didn't follow Uncle Zhong.
"Uncle Zhong succeeded Liu Laozhi, and the Chongtang Beifu Army was to preserve the vitality of the army. Later, I joined him. He was prepared with both hands. If he took over the Beifu Army at this time, he would have to take a huge risk. Yes, because Huanxuan wants his Jingzhou Army to control the Beifu Army in the future, so he will mix up the Beifu soldiers, and even transfer them to other places to station. Uncle Zhong wants to come out to take charge of the army, because he wants to take advantage of the Northern Expedition, and stability is paramount. reasons to prevent Huan Xuan from splitting up our army.
"He knew the risks of this matter, but out of his feelings for the Beifu Army, he still took the risk and took office. Before leaving, he secretly told Wuji that once he was killed by Huan Xuan, it would prove that Huan Xuan would not let Beifu go. In the old military department, we must not sit back and wait for death, we must find a way to fight. He asked Wuji to tell me that we should never have any hope for Ai Xuan.
"So, he used his life to prove that Huan Xuan did not treat the old Beifu Army kindly, and to arouse your resistance, right?" Tao Yuanming sighed:
Tears filled Liu Yu's eyes. Sun Wuzhong's voice and smile seemed to be right in front of his eyes, just like the stern yet warm old instructor when he first entered Beifu many years ago. He turned his face away, not wanting to let Liu Yu know. Tao Yuanming saw his tears and said solemnly: "In short, Uncle Zhong's death made me determined to destroy Huanxuan. From then on, I began to run around to contact the Jingkou brothers and secretly observed who was sincere and willing to do anything with me. A man of great things. In order to confuse Huan Xuan, I even led troops to attack Lu Xun. At that time, I had troops in hand, but I did not raise troops at Shanyin in Kuaiji. Even if Huan Xuan saw it, I had no objection. .
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, this incident made Huan Xuan feel relieved about you. Later, I asked for your opinion on his independence as emperor, and you once again picked on him to say nice things. But although I don't know you I want to avenge Sun Wuzhong, but I know very well that you will definitely turn against me.
When Tao Yuanming said this, his eyes sparkled, and he continued: "As I said before, we can't place our hopes on your loyalty. The Beifu army all relies on your leadership. Those sergeants who train in Jiankang every day, When they were beaten by Jingzhou soldiers and couldn't bear the beating anymore, they would say, Brother Liu will seek justice for them sooner or later. If you have such influence among ordinary soldiers, then you must not stay. This is the least. The emperor's magic.
Liu Yu laughed and said, "But unjustly killing a general with a high reputation without being guilty will cut off the way for the world's most talented people to come to join us. Especially in this troubled world, the ability of military generals is hard to come by. Therefore, Huan Xuan did not kill Hu Fan who openly opposed him in Jingzhou. When he arrived in Jiankang, he would not attack me who seemed to have no ambition and was just a pure soldier. Tao Yuanming, you only look at the problem from the perspective of scribes and plotters. From a certain perspective, I don’t know that as a hero, you need to win people’s hearts.
Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "Facts have proved that Huan Xuan mistakenly believed in you, and finally died and his country was destroyed. Therefore, it is best for you not to make the same mistake again now and kill me who cannot be loyal to you, so that in the future you Only then can we secure our position.
Liu Yu said calmly: "In order to protect his position, he would punish the innocent and punish him. This is something I, Liu Yu, cannot do. The person I want to kill must have a proven crime, and then he will be punished in accordance with the national law and openly." Execution to serve as a warning to others not to commit the same crime.
Tao Yuanming, I just said that although you cannot be said to be innocent of the things you did before, the crimes are not worthy of death. If I kill you like this, others will only say that I, Liu Yu, have no tolerance for others and need to kill people. Only in this way can we establish authority, and those who are alienated from me will only become more
Come more and more.
Therefore, if the Tao rises without knowing it, the place under house arrest is where you should go now, which is the execution ground.
Tao Yuanming gritted his teeth: "Are you trying to impress me? Do you think that if you are proven right in the future, I will be convinced by you and work for you willingly?
Liu Yu shook his head: "I don't have this idea. Everyone has his own ambitions. Since you want to regain control of Jingzhou in the future and restore the rule of the gentry and the era of aristocratic families in the world, then as long as I am still in office and in power, I will not let you If your idea comes true, if you really want to return to Jingzhou to govern, you have to join the army and make meritorious service. Just like an ordinary scholar, you can be promoted step by step based on your merit. I will not block your path and deny you a chance to get ahead, but , don’t think about having any privileges, thinking that you can achieve your ideas by engaging in conspiracy and making friends with people or forces that you shouldn’t be friends with.
Once I find out that you have connections with foreign countries, or are secretly colluding with organizations like the mafia, I won't be polite to you anymore.
Tao Yuanming said sternly: "Liu Yu, don't think that with the help of the army and the power in your hands, you can insult the nobles and destroy the order and rules that have been passed down by China for thousands of years. Don't think that you are going to instigate and please those people." The common people at the bottom have really become the saviors. Huh, I don’t blame you for not reading enough, but I want to remind you that this is what Shang Yang did back then, sacrificing the interests of the nobles to please the ordinary people of Qin and even Slave, what will happen to him in the end? He will kill himself sooner or later. Sooner or later it will be your turn!
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Even if he dies like Shang Yang and his family is wiped out, Shang Yang's method can be passed down and the people will not be destroyed. The people of Qin will still have the opportunity to rise to the top due to their national merits. If you can do this, I will do it in the future." Even if you die, there will be no regrets! Tao Yuanming, you can go and see how I can defend the city this time.
As for after guarding, I will let you go, remember to be a good person. If you let me catch you breaking the law next time, you won't have a chance to speak.
