Jiankang City, Wuyi Lane, the secret altar of the mafia.

In the spacious hall, dozens of butter giant candles illuminate the hall, and a huge black human hand, hanging on a map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, in front of the round table, silent, and in the round table sat four people wearing masks, like clay carved wood sculptures, the whole hall, only the sound of these giant candles burning, even a needle on the ground, will be heard clearly.

Baihu looked at Xuanwu (Xie An) who was sitting in the north, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Xuanwu, you still don't listen to our persuasion, and insist on going on a northern expedition, this is not a good precedent. ”

Xuanwu smiled slightly, and pointed to Suzaku in the south: "You and Qinglong oppose the Northern Expedition, but Suzaku and I agree, since there is a stalemate, there is only a compromise plan, I don't use the strength of the two of you, only rely on my own strength, and the food and salary that Suzaku promised to provide, and go on a separate Northern Expedition, this has not broken the rules of a hundred years." Just like back then, you all agreed to let Huan Wen usurp the throne, but if it weren't for me and another family to oppose it, it would no longer be the Sima clan who sat in the world at this time. ”

Baihu sneered: "The Sima family sits in the world, the Huan family sits in the world, and our interests have not changed. I still don't think there's anything wrong with that. But this time, the Northern Expedition is only beneficial to your Xie family, and not to all other families. Suzaku, I don't think you're so stupid that you can't even see this. ”

Suzaku said indifferently: "I believe that Lord Xuanwu will not consider this issue only from the interests of the Xie family, after all, the Northern Expedition is where the righteousness lies, and the ancestral graves of all of us are in the north, without these, our good times in the south will not last long." If even those of us are not willing to go on the Northern Expedition, how can those ordinary people follow? ”

Qinglong's eyes were like torches, and he looked at Xuanwu: "Lord Xuanwu, it's not that we don't believe you, but your actions after the water can't make us believe in your loyalty to Dajin, let alone our friendship." In the past two or three years, the credit belongs to your Xie family and the Beifu Army, but the benefits are not as good as ours, we have the money and food, and we have not died less, but the states and counties that have been beaten down have not given us the size of the land, which in itself violates the original agreement. ”

Xuanwu shook his head: "I have explained many times, these lands are not our Xie family, but the country, now the newly recovered places are unstable, and the customs are very different from the land south of the Yangtze River, we can't be stationed there for a long time, and if we want to use the locals, we can't stretch out our hands now, and we will delay taxes for a few years, once we succeed in the Northern Expedition and recover Hebei Guanzhong, these newly occupied areas are the interior, and naturally we can divide the local people and population here." ”

Qinglong sneered: "Divided? How to divide the seal? To whom? ”

Xuanwu smiled slightly: "Naturally, it is divided into feudal titles for those who have made contributions in the Northern Expedition, and meritorious soldiers need to be rewarded, and the high-ranking families who pay for them can also get their share." ”

Baihu laughed: "It's better to divide it all to your Xie family." The meritorious soldiers are all your Beifu Army, Jingkou Qiuba, they only have the Xie family in their eyes, no country, Xuanwu, you still dare to say that you are dedicated to the country? ”

Xuanwu said angrily: "It is precisely because of the dedication to the country that fairness and justice must be achieved, and the soldiers who risked their lives on the front line fought bloodily, so they should naturally get what they deserve according to their military exploits." The combat ability of these Beifu sergeants has been fully proven in the past few years, when it was first formed, you didn't contribute money and efforts, and our Xie family single-handedly established it, and now you say that they only recognize me Xie family? Does that make sense?! ”

Qinglong said coldly: "I remind Lord Xuanwu to pay attention to one thing, in the past hundred years, it is the concerted efforts of our people that have allowed us to survive the crises again and again, with today, because you have a new subordinate, you have to give up your old friend for a hundred years, this should not be what you Lord Xuanwu did." ”

Xuanwu shook his head: "In the past, we could be in a corner of peace, because of the lack of strength, if the north is unified and strong, we are powerless to go on the Northern Expedition, but now it is different, to put it mildly, since Yongjia, the best Northern Expedition opportunity in the past hundred years is just around the corner, and now Fu Pi of Yecheng took the initiative to ask us for help and was willing to sacrifice Yecheng, this is the first time that our Han army can control the core city in the north, Yecheng is a little, Hebei can be determined, and the next thing is Guanzhong, to obtain a larger territory, and the final benefit is still for all of us, Why don't you understand this? ”

Qinglong said gloomily: "The benefits are for all of us? Who is this? I'm afraid it's not us, maybe it's your new subordinates, maybe it's the new friends you found in the north, such as the surname Cui and the surname Lu and the surname Yang, when the time comes, this round table will be a little crowded. ”

Xuanwu's eyes flashed coldly: "The mafia has been established for a hundred years, even before the Yongjia Rebellion, the purpose of helping the world will not change, I can independently go on the Northern Expedition, but it is impossible to change all this, I still need everyone's support, as for whether to let new people come in in the future, it has to be our unanimous agreement, not one less, this, Xuanwu dare not or forget!" ”

The white tiger stared at Xuanwu and said in a deep voice: "Lord Xuanwu, you can always put yourself in a righteous and righteous position, which makes us seem so unconfident to refute." However, no matter how beautiful you say, you can't change the fact that this Northern Expedition, you are throwing away all of us, maybe you will keep a little from Suzaku, but I and Lord Qinglong, you will not stay at all, and you don't plan to leave us at all in the future The benefits and benefits in the north, right? ”

Xuanwu said indifferently: "If you can contribute, you can naturally get what you deserve, the future world, what is needed is fairness, if there is no merit, this fairness will not be able to be discussed." We finally have an army like the Beifu Army that can fight and dare to fight, if there is no reward commensurate with its merits afterwards, how can we let them sell their lives? ”

Qinglong said coldly: "There is not only one unit of the Beifu Army in the world, just like the last time in the battle of Weishui, everyone contributed together, we are not not going to let the Northern Expedition, but to give us time to assemble, we have been fighting for the past two years, so that everyone needs to take a breath, otherwise the small and medium-sized family will not see hope, nor will they get benefits, how can they really fight with you?" ”
