Liu Yu said loudly: "In addition to interests, there are many precious things in this world, friendship, love, family affection, family and country. If it's just a matter of acknowledging interests, what are you doing now? ”

Liu Muzhi sighed: "Our interests have been tied to the Xie family, so to speak, there is no choice." Jinu, to say something you may not like to hear, I am the son-in-law of the Jiang family, since my father-in-law was recruited by Xie Xianggong and served as the commander of the Beifu Army, I am also tied to the Xie family, otherwise, there are so many talented people in the Beifu Army, why can I, a person who has never even been an official, master confidential documents? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Muzhi's small eyes gradually narrowed: "As for you, Jinnu, not to mention, you have become Miss Wang's fiancé, everyone knows that you are half of the Xie family, you have been promoted so quickly in the army, and even if you fell a big heel in Shouchun, you can still be reappointed, although it is said that this is because you have absolute ability, but if you have no relationship and connections, those two mistakes are enough to ruin your military career." ”

Liu Muzhi's gaze swept to Liu Yi on the side, only to see him standing with his arms folded, his expression relaxed, Liu Muzhi said slowly: "In the past two years, I have almost never seen Liu Yi smile happily like this, from the first day he joined the Beifu Army, no, even before joining, he made up his mind to compete with you, but you have been suppressing him, he doesn't say it, but he is not convinced in his heart, deep in his heart, he doesn't admit that you are stronger than him, he only thinks that you have the backer of the Xie family, so he rises faster than him." ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "I didn't rely on the strength of the Xie family to be promoted, in the past few years in the army, I relied on my own ability, just like this battle of Luojian, Xile panicked for a while when he was the lord of the building, and he didn't know what to do. ”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Having said that, Liu Yi is unwilling to admit that he is inferior to you, even if his command and martial arts are not as good as you, but he also has other strengths." For example, you can't compare to him in reciting poems and dealing with paperwork. Therefore, Liu Yi felt that what he lacked was only opportunities, not abilities. If he can be above you and let a fierce general like you play as a striker, he can also establish immortality as a coach. ”

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Then let's go on a northern expedition together, everyone will bring an army and see who can make contributions." At this time, if you turn your back on the Xie family and turn to the powerful, will you treat others sincerely? King Huiji and Wang Guobao have no intention of the Northern Expedition, once they seize power, they are afraid that the Beifu Army will be disbanded, and then everyone will only take a false title and return to their hometown to farm. ”

Liu Muzhi nodded: "The slave deserves to be the slave, this is very accurate." Now the king of Huiji and they are trying to win over Xile and Wuji, but they just want to divide and disintegrate the Beifu army, at this time, only by uniting together can they keep the Beifu army. As long as the Beifu Army is here, then we people will have a future. ”

Liu Yu nodded: "I have to talk to Xile and Wuji, don't fall for others." ”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly and patted Liu Yu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Jinu, Liu Yi is more shrewd than you think, at yesterday's banquet, he has been flattering King Huiji and Wang Guobao, but he is noncommittal to their words, only saying that the north is still in the hands of Hu Lu, he is a soldier, and everything is arranged by the imperial court." As for Wuji, he was taken by King Huiji and said that he wanted him to teach his son Sima Yuanxian martial arts and the art of war more in the future, and Wuji readily agreed at that time. But these did not affect the military position, it can be said that they had a relationship with the king of Huiji, but they did not promise to turn their backs on the Xie family. ”

Liu Yuqi said: "How do you know these things? ”

Liu Muzhi laughed: "This information has long been openly circulated among the families, and each family will put eyes, ears and eyeliner in other families, as long as it is not a secret room." ”

Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully: "In this way, King Huiji also told the Xie family that he wanted to dig the corner of the Beifu army and make concessions to them in exchange for the Xie family?" ”

Liu Muzhi nodded: "Exactly, if King Huiji really wants to find a replacement person in the Beifu army, they will not have such a blatant banquet, it will definitely be a secret room discussion." Liu Yi doesn't have much friendship with them, and his status is not high after all, so he is not worthy of their wooing. But in any case, the generals of the Beifu Army are often middle-aged, and the next ten years will be the world of your young people, and it is better to start early than later. ”

Liu Yu sighed: "I thought that the victory of Weishui would be a great victory, and the people of the Great Jin Dynasty could unite as one and take advantage of the Northern Expedition to regain the lost territory, but I didn't expect that at this time, those high-ranking families were still fighting for power and profit." Alas! ”

Liu Muzhi hooked the corners of his mouth: "The Xie family still wants the Northern Expedition, for them, only by mastering the Beifu Army can they keep their power, and only for the reason of the Northern Expedition can they keep the Beifu Army." Now the Huan family is beginning to expand to the north, I heard that Huan Shiqian and Huan Shimin led 30,000 elites, and the troops went out of Nanyang and pointed directly at Xiangyang. After all, you can talk with the Xie family, but you can't talk about it with someone like the Huan family who is bent on usurping the throne. ”

A hint of excitement flashed in Liu Yu's eyes: "If the Huan family is a good thing for the Northern Expedition, they can recover Luoyang and enter the Guanzhong, while our Beifu Army can recover the land of Qilu in the Central Plains and drink the Yellow River, so that the two armies cooperate, and the great cause can be expected!" ”

Liu Muzhi nodded: "So this time, the Huan family also promised to send Huan Xuan to lead 5,000 men and horses over to participate in the parade and sacrifice prisoners." In fact, on this point, the Xie family and the Huan family reached a rare tacit understanding, although the two families had different purposes, they both wanted to go on the Northern Expedition. Once the people of Jiankang City and Wu Land see the military might of our army, as well as those prisoners of the Qin army, let them see with their own eyes that Hu Lu is not invincible, and the Northern Expedition has a great chance of victory, and many small and medium-sized families may be shaken. ”

Liu Yu laughed: "I finally understand why this time Lord Xianggong has to hold this military parade and prisoner sacrifice conference before rewarding the soldiers of the three armies, not only to give us soldiers the opportunity to set foot on the land of the capital, but also to show the military appearance and prestige of our Beifu Army." I didn't say it, we have to take out the best momentum at this military parade and let everyone see what is the invincible Beifu Army in the world! ”

A trace of coldness flashed in Liu Muzhi's eyes: "Jinnu, it's up to you, this military parade has decided the standing of many small and medium-sized families, whether you can continue the Northern Expedition or not, it's in your hands!" ”

Liu Yu's tiger eyes flashed: "I will let the emperor and the families of the world and the people see the style of the Beifu Army that broke the Qin army, and the strong men sang into Jiankang!" ”
