Chapter 237: On the Same Boat
Liu Fa looked at everyone's expressions, smiled secretly, and continued: "The previous few Dali princes coveted my Xiangyin, plotted against me, and wanted to occupy Xiangyin and seek the southwest, but I didn't know that his conspiracy had already been seen through by Liu, and he had not attacked Xiangyin City, so you must have known the result." In this battle, our army won a big victory, and the prince of Dali returned in vain, and the Cao family who helped the prince of Dali, from Cao Kang to the people of their Cao family, their fate, you must be very clear! ……”
Everyone was shocked again, what was the intention of General Liu Fa when he said this? Could it be that he suspects us of colluding with the prince of Dali without permission?
“…… Haha, everyone, don't be cold, come and come, drink and drink, this glass of wine I salute the heads of the family, the southwest is beautiful, but unfortunately I have not had time to take a cruise, so I also lost the opportunity to intersect with the heads of the family, I have been running all the way to the southwest, killing a load, the scenery of the southwest, like the dust of the road, alas, a deep regret......"
Everyone listened to Liu Fa's nonsense, every sentence he said seemed to be casual, and it seemed to have ulterior motives, everyone was silently chewing Liu Fa's words in their hearts, how could they have the heart to drink, in the clouds, as if they had drunk a lot of wine, where could they drink again?
Liu Fa raised the wine glass, then drank it all, smiled slightly, and drank with everyone, the heads of the family forced a smile, a sip of wine was tasteless, for a while, Liu Fa sat down, and everyone sat down slowly.
Lin Tianbei on the side stroked his long beard and glanced at Liu Fa with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation. The head of the Huang family glanced at everyone, he was the oldest in the number of people present, and he had to come forward to inquire on behalf of these family masters, otherwise it would not be a matter for Liu Fa to go on like this.
"General Liu, today the general invited me to wait in this green garden, not just to let me wait in this green garden to enjoy the snow? If the general has any serious business, he might as well speak bluntly, and I will listen to him. ”
Liu Fa smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll say it directly, I know that some of you have hearts towards Dali, and they have done a lot of things to secretly fund him before, otherwise the prince of Dali is in this southwest mansion, rampant and domineering, unscrupulous, they consume countless grains and grass salaries, he alone can never afford to raise it, Dali is far away from the southwest, grain and grass supply is not necessarily so easy, he has not attacked Xiangyin for a long time, if it is not for the supply of grain and grass, how can he do such a stupid thing, hehe, but, today we will talk about it." None of us will mention anything in the past, but General Ben will make a statement in this green garden today, and will never settle accounts with you after the autumn......"
As he spoke, Liu Fa picked up the wine glass again, slowly glanced at everyone, and said with a slight smile: "...... This is like pushing pai gow, playing dice, the last one we have already played, don't mention winning or losing, let's reshuffle the cards, this one is ......"
Liu Fa once again raised his glass to everyone and saluted everyone, and said meaningfully: "This is my Liu Mou Zhuang Village, and I also ask all the family owners to bet more, Liu Mou will accept all the orders, there will be killings and compensation, and Tong Su will not be bullied." ”
Huang Nade's eyes flashed, staring at Fang Zheng and said slowly: "I don't know what kind of bet I have to make, so that the general can see it?" ”
Liu Fa put down his wine glass, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he said: "It's very simple, this general wants you to cut off all contacts with the prince of Dali and the people and horses of Dali, and do not allow any enemy moves, and at the same time turn against them, use your prestige and foundation in the southwest, cooperate with this general, and make every effort to annihilate the barbarians in Dali and the southwest province!" ”
Once the word is out, everything is silent!
When everyone heard this, they were immediately silent, and there was silence in the water pavilion, only the sound of the Xiaosheng qin playing in the distance, and the singing voice of the singer Qingyue, as if it was gradually coming from a distant place. After a long time, Liu Fa suddenly smiled, looked at the silent crowd, and said slowly: "Everyone, is it so difficult to choose?" You also know what the situation of the prince of Dali is now, you are all from a big family, and you have more than a thousand lives in the clan, I don't think you should bet on the life of the family foundation and the whole clan on a person who can't see the hope of success at all, you are all old and serious people, you should know the truth of tending to good fortune and avoiding evil, I really can't figure it out, at this time, what else do you have to hesitate......"
Huang Nede looked around at everyone and broke the silence and said: "As the head of the family, but at the same time, we are also the people of Xiangyin Mansion, and now the general wants to destroy Dali and kill the barbarians in the southwest, so we should naturally help, but ...... General, to put it mildly, I don't know whether this battle is won or lost, of course, we all know that General Liu went all the way from the Southern Prison to Xiangyin Mansion, and he was never defeated, but ...... We are just the body of the people, if in the future, after the general destroys this Dali and the barbarians in the southwest, and then turns around and investigates the crimes of our family and other enemies, may I ask General Liu, how will we deal with ourselves at that time? ”
The words of the head of the Huang family expressed the voice of everyone, they now know that there is no hope of following Dali to rebel, but they can turn around and move closer to Liu Fan, and they are afraid that Liu Fan will settle accounts with them afterwards, thereby weakening the foundation of the family, and even directly exterminating the family, and the heads of the family are also facing a dilemma at this moment.
Thousands of people in the Cao family turned into ashes overnight, which really frightened them.
Liu Fa smiled: "Is Old Huang old and his memory is not very bright?" General Ben has mentioned it to you again and again just now, and also emphasized that General Ben promised not to settle accounts after the autumn, everything that happened before should be gone with the wind, everyone forgot about it, Ben will not be so small-bellied, always grasp this little thing and do not let go, what do you think? ”
Everyone looked at each other, they still saw some doubts in each other's eyes, hesitated for a while, and still no one came out to express their position. Liu Fa gradually became impatient, these old guys are treacherous and slippery, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to keep up with their pace and walk on the same boat with themselves.
The so-called family, what they need and consider is only the interests of their family, and the rest, they don't think about it, who is the son of heaven and who is in power, they don't care, as long as it doesn't interfere with their existence, they don't care!
"Cough, everyone, Xiangyin, such a big territory, if you stop here, always sit in the well and watch the sky, the four surnames in the southwest, Xiao Ye Mucao, has now become a cloud in the past, the four surnames in the southwest, it is not necessarily these four surnames, and it is not necessarily only the four surnames, hehe, don't mention this...... If so, he will attack Xiangyin in the southwest barbarians, won't ...... I don't think I need to say more! ”
Everyone's eyes changed, Lin Tianbei just silently closed his eyes and recuperate, his fingers kept tapping the table, and after a while, he finally opened his eyes and said with a smile: "What the general said is extremely true, but I don't know if I can ...... in Xiangyin."
The gentleman is righteous, and the villain is profitable!
Liu Fa's heart moved, he knew what Lin Tianbei was talking about, he knew that if there was no sweetness, these treacherous and cunning guys would not be in the same boat as him!
"Xiangyin is desolate, but there is still a lot of wealth, Cao Kang is dead, I need your help to make it happen!"
Liu Fa stroked his sparse beard, looked at the people in the pavilion, his eyes showed a glimmer of light, and he only said half a sentence, Liu Fa didn't say much, he needed to gain a foothold in Xiangyin, and naturally he also needed to give them some sweetness, just sit back and watch them be strong, there will always be a threat to themselves, these people, turn their faces and don't recognize people, it is a common thing, although the Cao family is in decline in Xiangyin, but the huge foundation is still there, this is the sweetness he gave to the Xiangyin scholars.
The corners of Lin Tianbei's mouth raised, and he immediately knelt on the ground, and then said loudly: "Thank you general, we should be the efficiency of the general, seize the opportunity for the people to be safe, and defend Xiangyin!" ”
Liu Fa was stunned for a moment, and saw Lin Tianbei kneeling on the ground, which really surprised him, and instantly he understood again, this old guy's reaction is really not slow, the so-called people are old and fine, and it is really so!
Seeing Lin Tianbei kneeling, the others also came to their senses in an instant, and then they also knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "We should serve as a general and defend Xiangyin!" ”
