Chapter 874: Jiangdong Dragon and Tiger Theory
Murong Lan's body began to tremble unconsciously, just like her natural voice, this woman who was calm and calm at all times, had more courage and general style than most men, and even missed the assassination of Fu Jian, and still kept a smile in the face of death, for the first time, her face was pale: "This, how is this possible, is the Xie family human?" Liu Yu paid so much for them, he didn't want his life, they, how could they treat them like this............"
Murong Chui interrupted Murong Lan's words: "Alan, in this world, in the face of power, there is no emotion, family affection and blood relationship are insignificant, let alone this kind of master-servant relationship or any kind of brotherhood. Liu Yu, who is a small soldier, can charge for the Xie family, and Liu Yu, who is the army master, can go to the soup for the Xie family, but Liu Yu, who will be a general in the future and is in charge of thousands of troops, will become the biggest obstacle to opposing the Xie family's usurpation of power and seizing the throne, just because he has too much sense of justice and loyalty, so he will never allow the Xie family to follow the old road of Huan Wen. ”
"Therefore, the Xie family's promotion of Liu Yu, so far, Liu Yu is now an uncrowned marshal in the army, not a general's general, on the battlefield, the soldiers will follow him instead of the military order, even if he is now cut to the people, disarmed and returned to the field, as long as he raises his arms, there are still thousands of soldiers who are willing to die for him. No king would allow anyone who has such a charisma and is not loyal to himself to exist. If the Xie family is ruthless, they will get rid of him now, can't you do it when they can't do it? ”
Murong Lan gritted her teeth, she had been closing her eyes just now, and only then did her eyes open again, looking directly at her brother, and said: "Now they don't get rid of Liu Yu, it's because they still need to use him, and they also need to use him for the Northern Expedition, once the world is unified, they won't need Liu Yu anymore, right?" ”
Murong Chui nodded: "Yes, that's right, maybe if you're in a good mood, you will save Liu Yu's life, give him a false title, and exile him to a place where he can't contact his former brother, so as to ensure that he can't threaten himself anymore." Alan, you understand now, if you want to save your sweetheart, the only way to save your sweetheart is to follow your brother to defeat the Northern Expedition of the Eastern Jin Dynasty this time, and let the behemoth of the Xie family collapse like the Huan family, only in this way can Dayan be safe, and your sweetheart can also be safe. ”
Murong Lan shook her head: "I know Liu Yu, it is impossible for him to miss this Northern Expedition, no matter how much the Xie family suppresses it, now that he has returned to China with the jade seal, it is impossible not to use him." As long as he is on the battlefield, there will be no such conspiracies and tricks, and there will be only one of the purest warriors Liu Yu in the struggle for power in the court. ”
Murong Chui laughed: "Yes, soldier Liu Yu, he will continue to be released back as a military master, but it will never be possible for him to charge on the front line again and make contributions." Neither the Xie family nor Liu Gaozhi would let this happen. ”
Murong Lan said: "Although Liu Gaozhi is also a general, a famous general, does he force Liu Yu only by virtue of his qualifications?" How is it possible to convince the public? ”
Murong Chui said coldly: "No, Liu Gaozhi is also a great general, I don't doubt that under normal circumstances, he will not be worse than Liu Yu, or even better, because, he does not lack courage, he is more experienced, the battle of Weishui, although Liu Yu took the lead in the assault, but the timing of Liu Gaozhi's wave of the army and the speed of unfolding are almost perfect, maybe you only have Liu Yu in your eyes, but Liu Gaozhi is also completely worthy of the prestige of the Tiger of Jiangdong." ”
Murong Lan's brows furrowed: "Then why can Liu Yu fight steadily, but this experienced Jiangdong Tiger can't?" ”
A hint of coldness flashed in Murong Chui's eyes: "Because of the different mentality, Liu Gaozhi in the Battle of Weishui wants victory, and this time, he wants credit." ”
Murong Lan's eyes lit up: "Liu Gaozhi also has ambitions and wants to usurp power and seize the throne?" ”
Murong Chui laughed and waved his hand: "No, no, no, my good sister, you misunderstood your brother, what your brother said is merit, not power, and not the throne, because Liu Gaozhi is Liu Gaozhi, not the Xie family, not Liu Yu, not even Liu Muzhi." ”
Murong Lan's face was even more suspicious: "I don't understand, what do you mean?" ”
Murong Chui took a deep breath and said loudly: "It means that although he is now a general, he is only a cold person, and the few people I just talked about, regardless of their current position, are all scholars." ”
Murong Lan laughed: "Although I know that there are no cold scholars in the Jin Dynasty, and there are no scholars in the lower grades, but it is not like this, Liu Yu is so poor that his family is surrounded by four walls, and he is about to become a beggar in Jingkou, who can afford such a scholar?" ”
Murong Chui shook his head: "No one can afford it, but even if he is poor and like this, he can become a lizheng, should it be all because of his martial arts?" If it weren't for the fact that he had a grandfather who was an official and a father who was a county gongcao, a person like him could only be a soldier for the conscripts early, instead of his turn to choose, or even Xie Xuan's active invitation. ”
Murong Lan didn't speak, she thought of people like Xiang Jing and Tan Yizhi in the Beifu Army, even when they were both small soldiers, they were obviously superior to Liu Yu, and even with Liu Yu and He Wuji, these people also had a very different aura, and they vaguely felt a little strange before, but they couldn't say it, and when they heard Murong Chui explain like this today, they all understood it all at once.
Murong Chui said: "The identity of the Central Plains people is the memory that goes deep into the bone marrow, in our grassland, a slave can also become an emperor, but in the Central Plains, it is too difficult. Liu Gao's family has been a general for generations, but since the Western Jin Dynasty, soldiers have been a profession that people look down on, and those children of the family will even laugh at Huan Wen, a powerful minister, as a soldier, let alone a real soldier like Liu Gaozhi. ”
"For generations, he has developed such an idea, he feels that he is inferior, no matter what, he needs the protection of the ministers, the door lords, and the great family, all he asks for is to be able to run the army, but even if the army of the whole Jin Kingdom is given to him, he does not dare to learn from Cao Cao and Sima Yi, because he will not think about this at all, compared to Liu Yu, he will always be just a slave in thought, a servant in his bones!"
"So what Liu Gaozhi wants is to hug the thigh of the Xie family tightly, and die for him, the wealth of the Xie family is the future of Liu Gaozhi, how much Liu Yu hates the usurpation of the Xie family, how much he hopes that the Xie family will be the emperor, in order to consolidate his position in the army, he will definitely fight quickly, and he will definitely fall into my trap, because the way he motivates the soldiers to work for him is not Liu Yu's lofty reason for the Northern Expedition to restore the country, but money and food, baggage, and women! These are the ways I used to pave the way to death to lure this Jiangdong tiger and finally to the grave. ”
