PS: By the time the sun was twilight, two meals had already been withdrawn intact, three unlucky guards were dragged down to beat the military sticks, five tea bowls flew to the ground for no reason, seven or eight carefully concocted manuscripts were scolded as garbage, the case of visiting the seal ribbon and the document was kicked over, and Ding Yi was also kicked in the ass for the first time.

The whole house was in a panic, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

Liu Yu spent most of the day being angry with the people around him.

The staff who has always been most admired by him finished writing the recital to the court, stood aside and read it to him, and before he could read half of it, he tore it up and tore it into several paragraphs, and threw it in the man's face, saying What nonsense did you write, Lao Tzu has not heard a name for it after listening to it for so long, get out! The staff member had never been so humiliated, and he was so frightened and frightened that his hand holding the pen kept shaking.

I took a sip of tea, and the tea was actually quite palatable, but I scolded and said Do you want to burn me to death? Hurriedly served a bowl again, but he didn't drink it, and walked back and forth on the ground freely, muttering words in his mouth. I paced for a while, took a sip, and spit it out. Scolding: The tea is so cold, how can Lao Tzu drink it? You have to get along with Lao Tzu today, do you?

In the middle, he said that he was going to draw the bow, and after pulling seven or eight times, he suddenly lost interest and threw the bow on the ground. Ding Yi was going to pick it up and take it away, Liu Yu said who told you to move it. I had to leave it there. After a while, one of his own soldiers came in to do something, and he didn't notice a bow under his feet, and he stumbled. Liu Yu scolded: You blind dead dog, why do you step on my bow? Ding Yi, drag me down and beat me up!

By dusk, two meals had been taken down untouched, and three unfortunate guards were dragged down to beat the batons. Five tea bowls flew to the ground for no reason, and seven or eight carefully concocted manuscripts were scolded as garbage. The case of visiting Yin Shou and Wen Zhu was kicked over several times, and Ding Yi was also kicked in the ass for the first time.

The whole house was in a state of panic. The atmosphere did not dare to come out.

His shadow was dragged long, half diagonally on the ground, and half crooked on the wall.

Next to the shadow's ear, hung the broken map of the Great Jin Dynasty presented by the old official. Under the light, the hole that was pierced by the lance was black, like a cynical eye, squinting at Liu Yu condescendingly, trying to force the helpless sense of defeat in his heart.

Rong Ma for many years. A sense of failure that has never been experienced.

The exiles asked him if the Northern Expedition would stop there, but he could not answer directly.

Deep down, he didn't know if the army left behind would still have the spirit of conquering the east and expanding the territory after he left.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am a soldier and a courtier of the Great Jin Dynasty, and now the court has summoned me back, and I can't disobey my orders. I'm going now, a year later. Half a year soon, after settling down on Jiankang's side, I still have to come back. Besides, when I leave this time, I don't want to take all the troops with me. My own son stayed in Chang'an. I can't leave Guanzhong alone at him. The most warlike generals and the most elite and brave soldiers under my command also stayed in Chang'an. It can be said that the family background of the Beifu soldiers is here. What else are you worried about? I implore you to continue to support the Beifu soldiers, and those who are willing to be soldiers will join in. And whoever is willing to plant, the newly laid land will be given to you.

When these words landed, the displaced people did not have the slightest expression of joy and relief. If you want to know about the affairs of the DPRK, the mountain asked the old man. The disputes and infighting in the Great Jin Dynasty over the years can be seen clearly by folk onlookers. Liu Yu will be the emperor sooner or later, not to mention that within the Great Jin Dynasty, even in the northern countries, it has long been a topic of conversation for the government and the opposition. A while ago, it was rumored that he was going to move the capital to Luoyang, which meant that he was going to be the emperor in Luoyang, which was naturally good news for the northern refugees. With Luoyang as the capital, the border must be pushed as far north as possible, and this shareholder wind can make the displaced people puff up their sails and return to their hometowns. But later I heard that this matter was yellow, and Liu Yu didn't mention the matter of moving the capital to Luoyang. Now he wants to return to Jiangdong, the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty is in Jiangdong, if Liu Yu is the emperor, can't he only do it in Jiangdong? If he became the emperor in Jiangdong, how could he still go far away from the rivers and lakes and go to Guanzhong to personally supervise the battle? If he comes back for as little as half a year or more than a year, he will say it in vain, and others will listen to it.

The three representatives of the displaced people stood there, unresponsive to Liu Yu's words.

The scene was very awkward.

After a long time, Liu Yu coughed and said that if the three of them go to the mansion and sit down, we will talk in detail.

The three exchanged glances with each other, and the old official bowed to Liu Yu:

"No need! Taiwei returned to Jiangdong, there are too many things to arrange, we came here to ask for help, we have already disturbed Taiwei, how can we make more trouble? The captain did what he wanted, and the people went back. ”

After speaking, he turned around and raised his hand towards the thousands of people under the stairs:

"Folks, let's all go back, the captain has already arranged the army, and he wants to help us fight back, so don't waste time here, let's go!"

When it comes to the word "let's go", the voice is already very poignant.

People stood silently, no one turned.

Liu Yu felt that his throat was tight and his mouth was dry, but his palms were sweating, he had never experienced such a scene, he didn't know what he should do at all, and the whole person was like a hollow scarecrow.

At this time, behind everyone, someone shouted:

"Folks, let's go, it's better to ask for others than for yourself! If you want to go back to your hometown, follow my Lao Du! ”

Liu Yu looked in that direction, first saw Chen Song and Guo Xu riding on horses, and then in front of their horses, he saw a thin middle-aged man raising his hand to call someone.

Suddenly, the young men in the crowd began to turn away, some without saying a word, others swearing. Soon, the stagnant water turned into living water, and the living water poured through the market, and all that was left in front of the Taiwei's Mansion was the dust hanging in the air for a long time, the miscellaneous footprints on the ground, and a broken shoe.

The three representatives of the displaced people left last. They followed the chaotic flow of people, straightened up and left slowly, and when they heard Liu Yu say that everyone was okay, they didn't even look back.

Thinking of their ragged but upright backs, Liu Yu felt a surging sense of shame. The old official was going to take the map away. This picture was saved by him with his life, and it could not be left in the hands of those who did not rarity it. Liu Yu clasped his hands with both hands and said Senior, don't worry. I took this picture back and dedicated it to the emperor and hung it on the court. Remind the emperor and the Manchu civil and military that we still have a large piece of land in the hands of the Hu people. There are still many fathers and elders who are suffering under the iron hooves of foreign races, and our Beifu soldiers will definitely rescue these lands and fathers.

The figure was left behind.

The human heart may not be.

Liu Yu clearly knew that this time, the hope of the northern refugees who were triumphantly puffed up by the Northern Expedition was ruthlessly punctured again. Although the army is still in Guanzhong, and people dare not say that the Northern Expeditionary Army has completely given up its intention to continue to develop, at least a large dark cloud has been shrouded in their hearts. The northern shape is shì, like a boat sailing against the current. If the Southern Army does not advance, it will retreat. Without a wise and iron-fisted commander-in-chief, the remaining army can only protect itself at best, and enterprising is just an empty word. As far as Liu Yu is concerned, as long as Chang'an ensures that he is not lost, he leaves enough time for turnover, and when he settles down the court situation on Jiankang's side and fills the power hole left by Liu Muzhi, he will shift his attention to Guanzhong. But he himself knew that such words simply could not be put on the table. The displaced people have come to a chilling conclusion. That is, on Liu Yu's chessboard, whether it is Guanzhong or Qinzhou, it is not as good as a Jiankang. The northern exiles are not very humble on this chessboard. When you have spare strength, you can use it, and when you don't have spare energy, you are actually an abandoned child.

I couldn't help but sigh. When will these ordinary people understand: if the power is lost. Liu Jinu may not even be able to keep his head, let alone regain lost ground?

So far. He was frustrated for hours, and he vented for hours. People are tired, but their mood is much calmer. It's okay to say otherwise, at least everyone understands the situation now and won't think about it. Winter is coming, the water level of the northern rivers is falling, and in a few days, the big boats will have a hard time walking. Dragged until mid-to-late December, once the river freezes, the waterway is closed. The land route is high and long, and there is a section of it that is under the threat of Xianbei. If he is trapped in Guanzhong and can't go back, then by the time the river opens next year, I'm afraid that the sky in Jiangdong will have already changed. He needed to set off immediately, from the Luo River into the Yellow River, and after arriving at the Great Liang, he dredged the Bianqu and finally entered the Yangtze River.

There is a villain in his heart who said clearly: Don't worry about Guanzhong, the political situation in Jiangdong is now bigger than the sky.

The little man then said word by word: Forget about Guanzhong!

This villain simply said nakedly: Even if you lose Guanzhong, you are still the dealer in Jiangdong; But if you lose Jiankang, you will lose even your underwear.

A chill.

I have to admit that I am not a three-headed and six-armed person, and I really can't take care of Guanzhong at this moment.

But there must be no mistakes in Guanzhong!

Otherwise, after more than a year of campaigning, the blood of thousands of people, and the planning day and night, in the end, it would only be for someone to marry, clear Yao Qin's house, and invite Rouran or Xianbei to be the master.

In case it comes to that point, these soldiers in Guanzhong will not be able to lose an inch, and there will be no place to bury them.

remembered that after the meeting ended that day, Shen Tianzi followed him to the back hall and kept saying bad things about Wang Zhen. The two of Shen Wang were not in harmony, Shen Tianzi felt that he had made great achievements and was unwilling to submit to the king, this Liu Yu knew very well, but Shen Tianzi did not say this this time, what he said was that Wang Zhenwei might cut off the alleged king in Guanzhong and break away from the Great Jin Dynasty.

Taiwei you think, the generals left behind, only he is from Guanzhong, and he is supported by everyone here. This is not my concern alone, you go and ask, General Fu Hongzhi also means this. And others.

He asks for food, and the people will pour out their pockets; He wanted people, some of them outcasts. If he wants to do a vote here, even if no one from the Beifu soldiers helps him, the locals will be enough for him.

He once took it upon himself to exempt the locals from paying taxes, but this is not buying people's hearts.

He made so much money, he couldn't spend it in his life, isn't it accumulating military funds?

Once the locals follow him, this remaining army will simply be a barrel in the ocean, and a wave will be gone.

We have worked hard to live and die for such a year, is it just to give him a family foundation?

Liu Yu smiled secretly in his heart. He understands that Wang Zhen is evil, and there is nothing wrong with him except being greedy for money. Moreover, he has no ambition to become king on his own. More importantly, he is an extremely intelligent person who knows what it means to be the king independently under the shape of the Guanzhong in front of him. If he erects a banner in Guanzhong and starts a new stove, he will become the sworn enemy of the Great Jin Dynasty, even if he declares his support for the Zhengshuo of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is impossible to get the support of a soldier and a grain of grain from the Great Jin Dynasty, and will only usher in another crusade army. At the same time, Rouran in the north will not give up encroaching on Guanzhong, and Xianbei in the southeast will not sit idly by and watch him rise. In the middle of three forces. Don't say that he is the king of evil, it is the resurrection of Han Gaozu. With Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin's full team, they may not be able to play a favorable situation.

But

Since Liu Yu wants to hold supreme power in Jiangdong. The Great Jin Dynasty can only have one center of power, one of the strongest figures, and a second one will never be allowed. If the generals of Guanzhong really unite as one, revolve around Wang Zhenevil, and obey his command, then with Wang Zhenevil's military and political ability, supplemented by the generals' courage and good fighting, the cause of this northwest region will definitely flourish day by day, and the territory will continue to expand. The more so. The more Wang Zhenwei won the support of the officers and soldiers and the people, the more capital he had to give benefits to the generals and consolidate their trust and support. An important reason why Wang Zhenwei today has no ambition is that he does not have the capital to breed ambition. If he really breaks out of the sky here, and the mountain is far away, and there is a Liu Muzhi of his own and a number of henchmen who are eager to get greater political dividends around him, then no matter what he thinks, the ambition thing will grow up by itself and firmly capture his viscera. Until unconsciously ruling his whole mind. At that time, he will just be the emperor of the north. In case he raises the so-called banner of righteousness, he must lead his troops to the south, "punish Chao wrong, and clear the king's side". Kill Liu Yu, a powerful minister who tried to usurp the Great Jin Dynasty, wouldn't he be a tiger for trouble? Regarding ambition, Liu Yu himself is a person from the past. He couldn't have been clearer. When I used to hear stories from people, I always thought those ancients were so strange. How can a good loyal minister and a good general not do it, but he has to be an emperor. Later, he worked his way up from a small soldier to a lieutenant. I finally figured out one thing: ambition has nothing to do with conscience, but comes from ability. Once you have the ability to nurture ambition, no matter how much you hate careerists in your heart, you will be squeezed into careerists by all kinds of forces. The kind of person who has the ability to create ambition and has no ambition is finally killed by those who suspect him of ambition.

One in 10,000 miss must not be tolerated.

This Shen Tianzi can be made as a wedge and inserted into the Guanzhong camp. This person is ruthless, and he can make a hard hand at a critical moment. His role is to moderately increase the discord among the generals, so that Wang Zhenwei cannot overexpand. But don't give him too many illusions, otherwise he will not know how to advance and retreat, become a subversive factor, and finally make trouble out of control.

What he said to Shen Tianzi, to the point, there is both room for imagination and room for advance and retreat:

"When the Wei State destroyed Shu, Zhong Hui couldn't make a mess, just because there was a Wei Huan by his side. Could it be that I have left so many good generals, and there is no Wei Huan in it? As the saying goes, tigers are not as good as foxes, more than ten of you, are you still afraid of a king to suppress evil? If Wang Zhenevil really has different intentions, he can only bring about his own destruction. ”

Shen Tianzi left satisfied.

There was an eerie light in his eyes.

I don't know what the hell he's up to. It doesn't matter, as long as Wang Zhenwei doesn't provoke the banner of rebellion, he is the commander-in-chief here, and Liu Yizhen, the son of Taiwei Liu Yu, supports him as the highest military and political chief, and his generals have no way to take him. Besides, he also explained to Wang Xiu, not only to keep an eye on Wang Zhenevil, but also to assist Wang Zhenevil, as long as he has no evil thoughts, no one can hinder him.

All these arrangements were made in front of Liu Yizhen. Even though the child is only twelve years old, he must learn how to balance the various forces from now on.

With power in hand, people are really tired.

But it's good to enjoy the feeling of being tired.

Only then did he feel that he was very hungry and asked someone to bring the food quickly. It was the rice that had not been touched before, and it came up again when it was hot. As long as he doesn't say it, no one dares to make a new one. He likes the leftovers after heating, which reminds him of the feeling of mixing in Kyoto back then; But I prefer everyone to take your little habits as a big thing of the day.

was gobbling up, Ding Yi came in and whispered that Guo Xu wanted to see him.

Okay, call him in.

Guo Xu was a little surprised when he saw Liu Yu eating. It's already past the time to eat. Hurry up and say that it's not the right time for me to come, so let's retire first. Liu Yu said don't go, come and eat with me. Guo Xu was not hungry, but he couldn't be disobedient, so he had to come over and sit down with him.

Liu Yu said that you don't accompany your Sun girl, come to me, an old man, what's the matter?

Guo Xu smirked, saying that he was telling the captain about Miss Sun.

The two of us are getting married.

Liu Yu was in a good mood all of a sudden. What a good thing! You kid is a blacksmith with a stupid head, and you actually hugged a beauty, it seems that you underestimated your means in the past. Tell me, what tricks did you use to trick such a smart and beautiful girl?

Guo Xu said that he didn't lie, and he didn't know how it happened.

Liu Yu laughed. said that if someone else said this, I would think that he was a vain and perfunctory. But when you say that, you must mean it. Because you really don't understand how women think! I'll sue you, it's your stupidity that people look up to!

Guo Xu was stunned and looked at Liu Yu stupidly.

Liu Yu said that this idea is very bad, there are too many treacherous people, and there are few people who are really good to people. You said that you like Sun Qiao, you really like it, and you will fight with your life to protect her and be considerate of her, which Sun Qiao has already seen. She is willing to marry you, just because she knows that you are kind, down-to-earth, and reliable in your bones. Follow you in this life. And you're not really stupid. You're good at war, but you're just a fool of yourself.

Speaking of this sigh:

"In these years, it is not only difficult for women to find such men, but also for those of us who lead soldiers!"

Guo Xu remembered the three points of water that Ding Yi dripped on the table, and guessed that Liu Yu might be worried about the discord among the generals, so he diverted the topic and made Liu Yu feel more comfortable:

"Captain, I'm here to invite Captain Tai to drink my wine. The lieutenant is entangled in military affairs. I still have to go back to Jiangdong, so I want to see when Taiwei is free, when he is free, and when he is free, when is the good day set? ”

Liu Yu tilted his head and thought about it. Said that according to the plan, I should leave in December at the latest, and that there were only these days left in November, and that it would be the day after tomorrow. I was scheduled to have a meeting with the generals that day. simply took advantage of everyone's presence to change it to do something for you. Wait until you're in the cave. I'll just talk to them about it.

Guo Xu was full of gratitude and said that he would let official affairs make way for private matters. I'm afraid it's not good.

Liu Yu pursed his lips and said that my love will be married, this is not a private matter, this is the official matter of the Beifu soldiers, a big event, a happy event! You take a good start, let Chen Song's gang of boys also work harder, take advantage of the fact that there is no war now, quickly find a satisfactory marriage, give me a bunch of Xiaobeifu soldiers, and follow my boys to mix together in the future.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he glanced at Guo Xu warmly:

"You're under General Wang Zhen now, right?"

Guo Xu said yes.

"Then what do you think of General Wang?"

Guo Xu was stunned, and he didn't know why he went from housework to soldiers and horses so quickly.

"General Wang is brave and strategic, dedicated to serving the country, these days to train during the day, at night to look at the map of Guanlong, when he has time, he will find homeless people to visit the surrounding geographical shapes, often tell us that if we can't make a name, I'm sorry for the grace of the captain, sorry for the dead brothers."

Liu Yu's eyes flashed, instantly dimmed, picked up a vegetable leaf with chopsticks, put it on the rice, and put the bowl down:

"General Wang is the queen of Wang Jingluo, and he will have generals and live up to his ancestors. I admire Wang Jingluo very much, and his grandson is naturally to be favored. It's just that when I used to suppress evil, I never expected him to be so capable. This piece of Guanzhong depends on him to maintain. ”

Guo Xu picked up the wine jug, poured it for Liu Yu, held it to him with both hands, watched him finish drinking, and said carefully:

"I think people seem to have a prejudice against him?"

Liu Yu put down the wine bowl and stared at Guo Xu with great interest:

"Really? Let's hear it. ”

Guo Xu actually regretted saying this, but now that Liu Yu has asked, he can't retract it. Sit up straight:

"Some people think that he is from Guanzhong, and he is not the same heart as the people from our Jiangdong, but I have been with him for a while, I think he has no distinction between north and south at all, he feels that he is a person from the Great Jin Dynasty, a person from the Beifu soldiers, or a person from Taiwei. He is a very good person, except for being a little greedy for money. ”

Liu Yu sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but appreciate this seemingly stupid junior who actually saw things very accurately. It's just that he is still a little too tender, and he only sees the duck floating on the water in a regular manner, and he can't see the two flippers paddling rapidly. But the real deep meaning can't be broken to him, and he can't be afraid of the grievances and entanglements within the army so early. It's okay, since Guo Xu sees Wang Zhen evil like this, he might as well use him as a door bolt to block those unnecessary disasters.

"Very well, you are a real person. In this way, I will add another position to you, in addition to continuing to be your lord, you will also serve as the protector of Sima's Mansion, and be fully responsible for protecting General Wang's safety. But if General Wang, I mean if, if General Wang has a move that is not conducive to the Great Jin Dynasty, you must also decisively stop it. Remember, although you are the protector of Sima's Mansion, you are not General Wang's private department, but an officer of the Great Jin Dynasty, and you are directly responsible to me. If you can't get an important thing, you can report it to me secretly. ”

This order dazzled Guo Xu. He suddenly became Wang Zhenxi's senior bodyguard, but at the same time, he seemed to be tasked with surveillance, and could even deal with Wang Zhenwei under certain circumstances, such a task was beyond his understanding of the officer's position. But on the whole, Liu Yu seems to be worried that someone will be unfavorable to Wang Zhen, so there is this layer of preservation design. He raised himself that Wang Zhen would not have the so-called actions that were unfavorable to the Great Jin Dynasty, and this two-sided task was only left with one side, and this side was what he was willing to undertake. Thinking of this, he left the table and knelt down on one knee:

"Taiwei trusts Guo Xu, Guo Xu must do a good job!"

Liu Yu said it, it's not too early, you go back quickly. You send an invitation to all the generals in Guanzhong, so that the courtesy is weekly. I'll go and tell Wang Zhenwei about your new appointment. Let's go, it's time for me to rest.

Seeing Guo Xu go out, he pondered for a long time, and called Ding Yi:

"Go and ask Chen Song to come to me." (To be continued......)
