Chapter 586: What to do on the bloody battlefield
Liu Yu's forehead began to sweat beads of cold sweat, Liu Muzhi's words, said what he was most worried about in his heart, supporting the army and self-respecting, the tail could not be dropped, causing the emperor's suspicion, this is the fate that has been unavoidable since the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty for a hundred years, Emperor Sima, only cares about the stability of his imperial power, and does not care whether he can recover the lost land and expel Hu Lu, so either it is a strong minister such as Wang Dun, Huan Wen so self-reliant, and then usurp power and seize the throne, or such as Zu Ti, Tao Kan was so suspicious by the king, cut power and seized the army, and finally died depressed, Can't you avoid this fate?
Liu Muzhi saw Liu Yu's appearance, knew that he was on his mind, and sighed: "The Xie family is indeed different from those powerful families, whether it is Lord Xianggong or Xuan Shuai, even people like Yan Shuai also want to make contributions and leave a name in history, they really want to go on the Northern Expedition." However, people like them are, after all, a minority. ”
"Most of the high-ranking families in Jiankang City just want to be content with the status quo and do not want to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and they will also worry that the Xie family will use the name of the Northern Expedition to become the second Huan Wen and come back to usurp power and seize the throne after establishing a meritorious career. These families can allow puppets like the Sima family to reign, but they will never allow a powerful family like the Xie family to rule them, they are afraid that the Xie family will let their sons and nephews swallow their own manors, territories, and slaves, these are the foundation of their lives. ”
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "I said that Xuan Shuai promised that his Northern Expedition was to truly recover the lost territory in the north, and people like me, after the success of the Northern Expedition, will stay in the north for a long time and will not threaten their interests in the Sanwu region." On the contrary, the benefits of land, population, and bankers obtained by the Northern Expedition will also be had. ”
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "If you want to take advantage of these benefits, you have to let your nephews leave the south and go to the north to operate, don't say that the north is dangerous, the Hu people may recapture these places at any time, even if they can control it, it must be the Xie family who accounts for most of the benefits, and there are also various Han surnames in the local area, Hu chiefs, in order to appease them after the Northern Expedition, it is impossible not to guarantee their interests, no matter how you calculate it, the benefits of the Northern Expedition for these southern families are not enough to make them tempted, but it is very risky, In case the Xie family captures the Central Plains, there is a possibility that they will become the second Jingzhou Huan clan, and even because the Xie family has been in charge of the central power for many years, it is more terrifying than Huan Wen back then, how can they not try their best to stop it? ”
Liu Yu hated itchy, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what they think, the good opportunity of the Northern Expedition must not be lost, no matter how these family lords oppose it, I will definitely strive for Xuan Shuai, take advantage of the great chaos in the north, and send troops with all my might, and I will talk about it later, at least this opportunity, I can't miss it!" ”
Liu Muzhi looked at Liu Yu and said calmly: "Do you think that the beggar Xianbei in Longyou is in chaos, and the Zhai Ding in the Central Plains is reversed, so he will definitely be able to go north to the Central Plains?" ”
Liu Yu shook his head: "They are only the first batch to rebel, and the Yao family and the Murong family will also rebel later, and at that time, the chaos in the north will be a godsend!" ”
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "For Yao Chang and Murong Chui, the rebellion is to restore the country, it is to do their best, their tribe, their fellow Qiang people or Xianbei people, will also give full support, at the cost of their lives, but what about our Great Jin?" Partial to the southeast, worry-free food and clothing, those family valves, do they have this power Northern Expedition? Not to mention the family gate lords, they are the brothers of our Beifu Army, are you really sure that they still want to continue to fight like you? ”
Liu Yu was slightly stunned, and then said toughly: "I'm very sure, my brothers, like me, dream every day that they want to go back to their hometown, recover the lost land in the north, and leave a name in history." ”
Liu Muzhi shook his head, pointed to a corner of the camp, and said, "Do you really think so?" ”
Liu Yushun pointed and looked, only to see hundreds of soldiers, sitting together, one by one out of large bags of gold and silver, one by one, are comparing it, jewelry, gold and silver dazzling, strings of pearls, pieces of jade, ingots of gold and silver, these good things that everyone usually dare not think of, now become a real thing, into everyone's baggage, and even some people, tied a string of agate jade around their waists, smiling from ear to ear.
And Xiang Jing sat alone in a corner, watching these brothers play treasure and rich, his mica car has become a burning wood in the brazier on one side of the camp, almost every time the flames in the brazier jump, his eyelids will tremble, this black man like an iron bull, the expression at this time can only be described with the four words of wanting to cry without tears.
Liu Yu was speechless, since the first battle of the water, these elite soldiers of the Beifu Army, fighting is no longer the first task, under the banner of sweeping away the remnants of the enemy, to plunder the Qin army's various camps, treasury, and even to search for those dead corpses, it has become the primary task of these warriors, Liu Yu himself wanted to continue to pursue the fleeing enemy, but even Xiang Jing, Tan Pingzhi these people are not willing to follow, so he can only give up, he himself disdains to rob these gold and silver treasures, but he did not expect that this time the brothers actually grabbed so much, In comparison, the mica car that Tie Niu, a big black man, snatched is really not worth much money in addition to being beautiful.
Liu Muzhi muttered: "Jinnu, do you see it?" These are the truest human nature, just like a hungry person, in order to survive, for food, he can fight for his life, but once he is full, then he will no longer suffer and suffer. Your motive is very simple, that is, you want to go on a northern expedition and restore the country, but most of the sergeants don't think like you, for them, the name they get in battle is not important, few people can really be promoted to knighthood, and most people, just like these sergeants, get treasures in battle, and then go home to buy a house and land, and have a family business, which is enough. ”
"It's like water, do you remember? What did he join the army for? He was not for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, nor for the sake of leaving a name in history, but because the Beifu Army had three times the military salary and could let go of the post-war plunder, he wanted to rob and rob, and then get rich and go home to buy a house and marry a wife. This is the real purpose of most Beifu sergeants. Now, my life has been fought over, and I have money, if I don't go home to buy land, buy a house and marry a wife, what will I continue to toss? Jinu, with all due respect, I'm afraid that if I really want to go on the Northern Expedition, there will be a different group of people. ”
