Chapter 308: Be the Emperor's Big Brother
The curtain was lifted, and Zhao Liang saw a tall and handsome young officer standing at the door.
When the officer saw Zhao Liang coming out of it, he bowed his hand to him slightly, saluted first, and then said without humility or arrogance: "See Lord Captain." ”
Zhao Liang nodded and asked him, "Eh, what did you just say your name?" Is it Liu Yu? ”
"Lord Hui, the lowly name is Liu Yu," the man replied loudly, "The centurion of the camp of the Shanjia Division is ordered to lead his troops to report to you!" ”
Zhao Liang continued to ask, "Where are you from?" What is the nickname? ”
Liu Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, thinking to himself, how could there be a reason for Shangfeng to inquire about the nicknames of his subordinates? However, since the captain opened his mouth to inquire, according to military discipline, he naturally could not hide it without the slightest hesitation, so he hurriedly replied: "My ancestor is a native of Suiyuli, Pengcheng County, Pengcheng County, and was born in Jingkouli, Dantu County, Jinling County. Because his family was poor since he was a child, he grew up doing miscellaneous labor for a rich family when he was a child, so he was nicknamed a slave. ”
No way! You can't go wrong! Zhao Liangxin said: The young man in front of him, who is only about 20 years old, is Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty in the "Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen" of the Southern Dynasties in the future, who led the Beifu Army to unify the entire south!
Unexpectedly, this guy is still just a junior officer, and he was actually assigned to his own subordinates.
Zhao Liang took a step forward, held Liu Yu's hand, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Liu, and sure enough, the hero is a young man, and he has been admired for a long time!" ”
Liu Yu was confused by his actions, and he didn't know what kind of name he had that could make this Captain Zhao look up to him for a long time.
However, since the boss looked up to it so much, Liu Yu couldn't help but be a little happy, and hurriedly said: "Lord Captain is wrong to love." I just listened to the introduction of the commander in the battalion, and said that it was fortunate that you found the traitor in time, so that General Liu, General Tao and the daughter of the commander were saved from worrying about their lives, and they can definitely be regarded as the great heroes of our Beifu. It is a great honor for Liu Yu to serve under your command. ”
"Hey, my little thing is nothing," Zhao Liang waved his hand: "You are the real great." Brother, believe me, your future is limitless, and you will definitely become a powerful man, hahaha. ”
Liu Yu was a little embarrassed by his praise, and said humbly: "My lord, Liu Yu is just a gambling addict and a ruined family. I don't dare to count on a big outing, but I can only serve wholeheartedly in the Beifu Army and live up to the expectations of the Grand Commander, General Sun, and Captain. ”
Zhao Liang said with a smile: "You are too modest." However, I know that you may not believe what you say now, as long as you can remember my words today, it will definitely come true in the future. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Liang pulled Liu Yu into the tent, beckoned him to sit down, and then asked, "You just said that you were Sun Wuzhong's subordinate before, why did you come to Liu Gaozhi's Jingkou camp now?" ”
"Returning to Lord Lieutenant," Liu Yu replied, "I was hand-picked by Commander Xie during the Battle of Huangshui. At that time, the main force of the Qin army was approaching the defense line, and the commander urgently needed detailed information about the enemy, so he dispatched various battalions of scouts and formed a horse scout army with a scale of nearly 2,000 people, which was specially scattered to reconnoiter the details of Fu Jian's army. ”
"Didn't it return after the war?" Zhao Liang couldn't help but be a little curious.
Liu Yu shook his head: "No." Soon after the defeat of the Hu people, the commander returned to Jiankang to recuperate, and General Liu then reorganized the Tanma Sentinel Army, dispersing the Duwang scouts to various divisions and battalions. Since there is no warrant from the commander, we people cannot do it
Since returning to the original army, they have all settled down in the camp in Jingkou. ”
Zhao Liang knew in his heart that this was Liu Gaozhi's move to take the opportunity to expand his strength, so he bowed his head slightly and said, "How is it, are you still used to it here?" Those 100 degrees of soldiers were all your subordinates before? ”
Liu Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said frankly: "Don't hide it from the captain, you said, I am not General Liu's descendant, so I am not very popular in Jingkou. During the First Battle of Weishui, Liu Yu had several ventures to infiltrate the enemy camp and transmit top-secret messages to General Zhu Xu on behalf of the commander, so that he could secretly cooperate and disrupt the position of Fu Jian's army. After the war, Commander Xie was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and I was originally promoted to lieutenant, but later General Liu said that there were not so many seats in the camp that could be placed, so I was still a centurion, and the brothers I brought were all from the original team pulled from General Sun. ”
He sighed softly: "Alas, as the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places, who doesn't want to be able to fight for a wife with a knife and a gun?" Especially for a poor child like me, it is even more difficult to have a way to rise. ”
Zhao Liang saw that he was straightforward and straightforward, and he didn't hide what he had to say, and he was indeed an honest person, so he comforted: "Don't worry. I'm good at watching people, didn't I just say that you are not a thing in the pool, once you encounter wind and rain, you will definitely be able to incarnate into a dragon. ”
"That's just a good word from an adult." Liu Yu smiled heartily and said: "I have been in the camp in Jingkou for more than a year, and no one looks down on me so much. If there is anything that will be useful to me next, please do your bidding! ”
Zhao Liang nodded: "Don't call you an adult." I'm a few years older than you, if you don't dislike it, just call me big brother. ”
As soon as he heard this, Liu Yu immediately got up and gave Zhao Liang a respectful salute: "The eldest brother is above, please accept the younger brother's worship!" As he spoke, he knelt on one knee.
Zhao Liang was very happy when he saw this: Oh, let the emperor call his eldest brother, and kneel on the ground to salute, this is really the first time, it feels super cool to think about it!
He unhurriedly stretched out his hand to help Liu Yu up, and said with a smile: "Okay, then we will be commensurate with brothers in the future, and we will share blessings and hardships." You said that you are from a cold family, and I am worse than you, a Huaisi outcast. In this Jingkou camp, there is not even the slightest basic connection, so in the future, we will discuss everything together! ”
Liu Yu has always been accustomed to encountering white eyes in the Jingkou Daying, and the previous bosses either deliberately made things difficult or ignored him, but he didn't expect to be transferred to Zhao Liang's subordinates today, and they could be so valued, and both of them are children of ordinary people's families, and their sense of identity is particularly deed, so they are also happy in their hearts, and they nodded again and again.
Zhao Liang asked Liu Yu to sit down again, and then briefly explained the tasks assigned by Tao Siyuan, and then humbly asked for advice on how to act after that.
Liu Yu waited for Zhao Liang to finish speaking, and he muttered for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, listen to this meaning, is General Liu going to do something to He Qian and them?" ”
"I think this big war is inevitable." Zhao Liang bowed slightly: "Before, the generals of all battalions gathered in the commander's tent, and they have reached a consensus, and they all want to launch a retaliatory counterattack or something, otherwise they will not be in a hurry to let us sneak into Guangling to spy on the enemy." ”
Liu Yu couldn't help but look pale: "Big brother, don't blame my little brother for being troublesome." Listening to your account of last night's attack is strange no matter how you look at it. Liu Yu believes that there may be some conspiracy hidden in this. ”
"I agree with you."
Zhao Liang said: "Although I personally got the information from Lu Guang's mouth, saying that He Qian and Liu Yan dominated everything behind the scenes, Liu Gaozhi was too gullible to believe this news. It's probably not a good thing to launch an attack so impulsively. ”
Liu Yu sighed: "Alas, it's not that you're in a hurry to seize power!" The Great Commander is still sick, and the Northern Hu people are seriously injured, this is a good time to unite and go on a northern expedition as soon as possible! Why did you fight in the nest first? Big brother, I heard it just now, and you don't think about this operation either, right? ”
Zhao Liang nodded: "Yes." To tell you the truth, I haven't been in the Beifu Army for a long time, so I don't have as deep feelings for the Great Commander and the Beifu Army as you do. However, the attack on Liu Gaozhi, as well as the active preparation for a counterattack, reveal a hint of conspiracy everywhere. I think many people should see that there is something wrong with it, but everyone is reluctant to say it or afraid to say it. ”
"What do you think is going to be hidden here?" Liu Yu asked.
"Then let's see first, Liu Gaozhi and He Qian have a fierce fight, who will be the biggest beneficiary." Zhao Liang said leisurely: "You are more familiar with the situation here than me, what do you think?" ”
Liu Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, just like a star in the night sky, staring at Zhao Liang and saying: "The benefit is nothing more than three parties, but it will definitely not be Jingzhou Huanchong!" ”
"Oh? Tell me about it. ”
"First of all, it is very simple to rule out the cause of Huan Chong." Liu Yu replied: "It's because the distance is too far that the whip can't reach it." The Jingzhou army is entrenched in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, although it has the advantage of geographical advantages, but there is Jiankang in the middle, no matter what the internal fighting in Beifu is, it is not their turn to clean up the mess. Therefore, if I were Huan Chong, it would be impossible to wade into this troubled water, I couldn't touch any fish, but I would make myself fishy. ”
Zhao Liang agreed: "You're right, so in this way, what Liu Yan is Huan Chong's person is is just a confuse." ”
Liu Yu nodded, and continued: "The Jingkou Battalion and the Guangling Naval Army are the two most powerful forces of the Beifu Army, one is in charge of the main force of the infantry cavalry, and the other is specifically responsible for water combat. In contrast, General Zhu Xu and General Sun Wuzhong only had a small number of troops, and they were not qualified to compete with Liu Gaozhi at all. Therefore, the battle between Liu and He's two families will greatly deplete the strength of the Beifu soldiers, and even become sluggish from then on. If this happens, there are only three parties who can laugh out, the Hu clan regime in the north, the other Gaomen clans in Wuyi Lane, and the Jiankang court. ”
Zhao Liang followed his train of thought and said: "Since the defeat in the Battle of Weishui, the north should have fallen into a situation of fragmentation, they are in their own way, of course they don't want the Beifu soldiers to attack strongly and sweep the Central Plains. However, it is precisely because of the strength of the lonely force that it is impossible for the Hu people to have this ability to instigate an attack like last night, in order to frame He Qian and provoke infighting in Beifu. ”
"In the same way, the clan of Wuyi Lane is also powerless." Liu Yu said: "The Xie family's prestige has been greatly boosted after the Battle of Weishui, and it seems to have become the head of the Jiangzuo Gate Valve, which will naturally cause many people to be jealous and resentful. However, although those people in the Gaomen clan have prominent status, there are not many capable people who really have the ability and means. It's okay to let them play small tricks in the court, but they definitely don't have the ability to control the army and play such a big chess game. ”
Zhao Liang smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Since this is the case, then the answer for the two of us is about to come out." ”
Liu Yu also smiled: "What the eldest brother said is right, the answer is very obvious. Last night's big battle, I'm afraid there was another push. And most of this promoter comes from the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty - Jiankang. ”
