Wang Chen's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Yi's eyes flashed coldly: "The strongest fortress is often broken internally, no matter how powerful the family is, it will collapse because of infighting, if you want the Xie family to hand over the military power of Beifu, only let them continue the Northern Expedition, so that it will cause infighting in front of interests, and at that time, your opportunity will come!"

Wang Chen's heart moved, and he asked, "Cause infighting?" What does this mean, the Xie family will really attack each other because of this power struggle? With Xie An here, how is it possible? ”

Liu Yi said with a smile: "Everyone has selfish intentions, and no one can avoid it, even if Xie An uses force to suppress it for a while, it is impossible to suppress it for a lifetime." In the past, the Xie family had been in power for many years, and their sons and nephews had their own officials, and there was no gap, but now the Xie family gave up the central power in order to protect themselves, went out on the Northern Expedition, and controlled the army. Xie Yan thinks that his ability is not below Xie Xuan, but the handsome position is Xie Xuan's, as a son, can he be willing? ”

Wang Chen hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "But Xie Xuan has made a great contribution, which is known to the world, Xie Yan's performance in Huashui is not as good as Xie Xuan, I don't know what he is not convinced." Do you have any evidence to prove your words? ”

Liu Yi said: "The evidence is that before the war, Xie Yan specially invited an experienced veteran with broken legs who had been fighting for many years to be his senior staff member to help him observe the fighters on the battlefield. When this veteran crossed the river in the tiger army, because the battle situation was unknown, he persuaded him not to act rashly, but no one thought that our tiger army bravely crowned the three armies, and almost defeated hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin army with the strength of one army, Xie Yan moved late, and did not get the credit, but after coming back, he drove the veteran out of the Xie family in a fit of anger. ”

Wang Chen's face changed: "There is still such a thing?" Did this veteran buy you and come back and brag about you everywhere? ”

Liu Yi smiled and shook his head: "I don't have the ability to control and influence these folk discussions in Jiankang City, and now everyone suspects that I let people tout themselves everywhere like this, but I know that I really didn't do this." When the military parade was sacrificed that day, I did let hundreds of brothers shout around the city that I killed Fu Rong with one arrow, but I was just able to shout like this twice in the crowd that day. Those appraisal stalls in the capital are all places where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, how can it be so easy for me, an outsider, to control? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yi looked at Wang Chen, looked him up and down, and his eyes sparkled: "Could it be Wang Changshi's clever plan, so as to provoke conflicts and suspicions between me and Liu Yu, as well as the Xie family behind Liu Yu, so as to force me to leave the Beifu Army and use it for you." “

Wang Chen shook his head: "Believe me, it is never what we did, our Wang family has always only attached importance to and befriended the children of the family, and has never paid attention to those who are of the same religion and nine ranks, and who are discussed on the streets." However, what you said reminded me that some people seem to want to control these folk opinions in the capital, and this matter is by no means simple, and I will secretly investigate this matter. ”

Liu Yi nodded: "I came to see you today, just to hope that you can promise me one thing, I will help your Wang family seize power in the future, but this requires me to stay in the Beifu Army to help you succeed, once I leave the Beifu Army, I can't help you." ”

Wang Chen said coldly: "You still haven't convinced me, if you stay in the Beifu Army, whether to help me or help the Xie family, I haven't thought about it now." Perhaps, you just took Xie Xuan's order to come and stabilize me. Liu Yi, you are from Jingkou, you can only rise in the army, in the Xie family's Beifu army, even if you say that the Xie family's internal fighting, whether it is Xie Xuan or Xie Yan, they will rely on you. You don't have to come to me. ”

Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Wang Changshi, you are a smart person, I will make it clear, the Xie family has been in power for too long, the credit is too great, and now they control the Beifu Army, which is already a taboo for people and ministers." If Xie An knew each other, this time taking advantage of his immortal achievements and retreating bravely was the best way to protect his life and family, but he further strengthened the military regime, not only re-emerging from the mountains himself, but also actively promoting the Northern Expedition. Including the auction meeting in the past few days, selling these sturdy Qin prisoners of war to the family lords of the Great Jin Dynasty at a low price is not just to let them taste the benefits of winning the battle, and then continue to support the Northern Expedition? In this way, it also provoked the Huan family in Jingzhou to attack the Central Plains, and the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty had lost the land of Jingxiang in the upper and middle reaches, and at this time, the Beifu army turned Jiangbei into a feudal town of his Xie family, how could this not let the emperor and brothers fully support your Wang family and seize the power of the Xie family? ”

A smile flashed on Wang Chen's face: "Liu Yi, you are really a smart person, you saw through this, and defected to us early, and we will not treat you badly in the future." Whatever the Xie family gives Liu Yu, I will give you, if the Xie family falls, we also need someone who can master the Beifu Army, I am very optimistic about you. ”

A hint of joy flashed on Liu Yi's face, and he saluted Wang Chen: "Wang Changshi, from now on, I, Liu Yi, will be your person. ”

Wang Chen patted Liu Yi's shoulder with satisfaction: "Liu Yi, where the Beifu Army is, can you help me bring in someone?" You can't control the entire Beifu Army alone, and I need more helpers. ”

Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Meng Chang, a member of the Beifu Army, is resourceful, and he is a good brother with the same spirit, this person can be pulled." There are also the three brothers of Zhuge Changmin, who are greedy and rude, and do not pay attention to faith, these three people can also be pulled over. ”

Wang Chen hooked the corners of his mouth: "What is that Meng Chang, you said that he is resourceful and understandable, but the three brothers of what Zhuge and what people, the rough and greedy person who does not pay attention to faith and righteousness, what do I want?" ”

Liu Yi said with a smile: "Resourceful people are very smart, what they ask for is personal development, the way to advancement, Liu Yu has that dead fat man Liu Muzhi by his side, Meng Chang will not have a chance to climb up even if he kneels down and licks Liu Yu's machine every day, so he can only mix with me." To be honest, let me vote for your master, this trick is what he taught me. ”

Wang Chen laughed: "I have long heard that this Meng Chang has great talents, and he is willing to come, it is no better." But the three Zhuge brothers, if you want them to come, is it really not harming me? ”
