Chapter 587: Kindness in the Face of Interests
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "No, I know my brothers, as long as I say the Northern Expedition, they will follow." ”
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Maybe the bottle, the rabbit, and the iron bull will follow you, but how many people are there?" 80,000 Beifu Army, how many people recognize you as a big brother like this, how many people live and die? I'm afraid that even if it is a tiger army, there will be at most two or three thousand people who are willing to follow you and abandon their homes and businesses. Moreover, on the battlefield, you are impulsive and worship heroes, but after getting off the battlefield, think about it carefully, if you can already start a family, your wife and children are hot on the kang, how many people are willing to fight hard with you? ”
Liu Yu waved his hand: "This money is just a small wealth, the real benefits lie in the official position, title, and power in the army, I don't believe it, no one will be tempted by this." ”
Speaking of this, his eyes looked at the other end of the camp, only to see Liu Yi and He Wuji, Meng Chang and others gathered together, looking at the people who shared the treasures in the square with a sneer, Liu Yu also laughed: "You see, Liu Xile is such a person, he will not stop for a small fortune and reward, and he will not want to forge ahead." ”
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Jinnu, do you really think Liu Yi will be your brother?" ”
Liu Yu's brows furrowed and he shook his head: "He is not my brother, on the contrary, he will be my rival, just like Ah Shou." Isn't it a good thing to have such competitors? ”
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "It's completely different. Ah Shou is upright and simple, and you want to be superior to each other based on your ability, even if you lose, you won't care too much, your ability is indeed stronger than him, and you saved his life, and now he is already convinced of you. But Liu Yi will never be convinced of your anger, even if his ability is not as good as you, he will try his best to compete with you, even by unscrupulous means. ”
Liu Yu nodded: "It's nothing more than getting close to the powerful and grabbing a head, what's the big deal." As long as he is in the Beifu Army, he is my brother, and he will be fine. ”
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "Really? Of course, he will not leave the Beifu Army, but this Beifu Army, whether the surname is Xie or the surname Wang, it is not necessarily. ”
Liu Yu's face changed: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Liu Muzhi sighed: "These days, King Huiji and Wang Guobao are secretly attracting and contacting the rising stars of the younger generation in the Beifu army, maybe you only saw that they intended to find Tian Luo, Zhuge Kan and these generals, but what you don't know is that just yesterday, King Huiji invited Liu Yi and He Wuji to the banquet." ”
Liu Yu's eyes widened: "What? There is such a thing! How is this possible? King Huiji is Corporal Zai Lixian, and it is impossible for him to contact the small owners of the two Beifu Army. ”
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "You are just a small military master, but you are famous all over the world, at least in my Dajin, no one knows about you Liu Jinu." But Liu Yi is not an idle person, haven't you heard this nursery rhyme, Liu Yi killed Fu Rong with one arrow, and the Qin army was like a landslide. ”
Liu Yu muttered: "Liu Yi killed Fu Rong with one arrow, and the Qin army is like a landslide? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly, looked at Liu Yi, and said coldly: "In terms of bravery and the art of war, Liu Yi is far inferior to you, but if you talk about the depth of scheming and build a reputation for yourself, you are far inferior to him." In the past, Liu Yi was only engaged in a state in Jingkou, but he was already the name of the leading big brother in the rivers and lakes, otherwise how could there be so many heroes in black and white who came to join him? ”
Liu Yu sighed: "You mean, after this big victory, he also let his subordinates publicize the fact that he killed Fu Rong with one arrow on the rivers and lakes, and in less than a month, women and children all knew?" ”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "That's right, that's it." Otherwise, why did Liu Yi insist on grabbing this credit from you? It was difficult to hunt down Fu Jian, but the ready-made merit of killing Fu Rong, the commander of the Qin army, was enough to make him a hero of Weishui. Jinu, the people of our Tiger Army know that you have made great contributions to the Battle of Weishui, but when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, Liu Yi is likely to be above you. ”
Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth, and suddenly laughed: "What about above me?" Liu Yi also contributed a lot in the battle, although Fu Rong was the first to hit my arrow, but he also shot Fu Rong, if it wasn't for my shot, Fu Rong would also die under his arrow, there is nothing to fight about. If you want to go on a Northern Expedition in the future, you will have the opportunity to make new contributions, what is this worth? If Liu Yi wants to make meritorious contributions, he is willing to go on the Northern Expedition with me, which is a good thing. ”
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Slaves, what Liu Yi and He Wuji want is to be promoted and make a fortune, but they don't simply want the Northern Expedition like you." If the Northern Expedition can make meritorious contributions, but you can also be promoted without the Northern Expedition, then why bother? ”
"Think about it, when we first entered the Beifu Army, Liu Yi tried his best to cling to the dignitaries, and did not hesitate to sneak into the Wuyi Society as an entourage, wanting to ask for a chance to meet Xianggong Xie. In order to make friends with Na Yukai, he was even more humiliated in person, he was such a proud person, but in order to climb up, he could actually endure this breath, what was the picture, was it the Northern Expedition? ”
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "But only the Northern Expedition can build greater achievements and let him climb higher, this truth, he will not understand." ”
Liu Muzhi sighed: "If you don't go on the Northern Expedition, but switch to King Huiji and Wang Guobao, you can also become a military lord or even a general, do you think he will still think about the Northern Expedition?" King Huiji and Wang Guobao invited them to dinner, do you think it was to discuss with them the fighting style of the Northern Expedition? ”
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "I know Wuji, he will never do something ungrateful. The Xie family has a great kindness to us, when we joined the army together, it was the Xie family who gave us this opportunity and trained us into such tigers and wolves, and now we have achievements, and we have begun to slowly promote in the army, how can we forget our roots? ”
Liu Muzhi said: "Ji slave, you have to figure it out, the Beifu Army is the army of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is the army of the country, although it was formed by the Xie family, but the military salary, money and food are all from the imperial court, you and Xuan Shuai, Lord Xianggong, they said that this is the army of the Xie family, and they said in private that they could, but in public, you must be cautious, otherwise this sentence alone will bring you death." ”
Liu Yu's forehead began to sweat, gritted his teeth, and said: "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention to these, but this truth, everyone understands, the Xie family single-handedly formed the Beifu Army, those money and food, military salaries, but also the Xie family took out private property to support, the state only pays ordinary military salaries, and the grain and grass of the war are jointly provided by various families, so there is a great victory in the river, in the past two or three years, it is the Xie family who has single-handedly trained and selected the Beifu army, and now the battle has been won, but we want to seize the power of the Xie family, if we don't protect the Xie family at this time, Isn't it a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs, and there is no right and wrong? ”
Liu Muzhi shook his head calmly: "Children only talk about right and wrong, adults only recognize interests, and send slaves!" ”
