Mrs. Liu didn't beat around the bush when she spoke, her meaning was obvious, for Liu Yuanyuan, marrying Zhaowangsun was equivalent to one step to the sky, what a glory it was after becoming a princess? But marrying Qin Baichuan is at best a lifetime of worry-free food and clothing. In the Great Song of Respect and Humility, the status of the second generation of officials is obviously much higher than that of a businessman.

"I may not be better than him at all, but the most important thing is that Yuanyuan likes me and is willing to be with me, this is Qin's biggest reliance." Mrs. Liu's words are indeed a little difficult to answer, Longzi Longsun, his status is above his Qin Baichuan, and he doesn't know much whether the little prince is an embroidered pillow or really has the means, he can't speak wildly, so he can only choose a relatively cowardly reason.

"You're embarrassed." Mrs. Liu snorted and sighed again: "Although these words are a bit shameless, I also have to admit that this is indeed your dependence. Speaking of which, I would like to remind you that Yuanyuan is a person from Qiushan, so she has to make sacrifices for Qiushan's future...... Her marriage to Zhaowangsun is not as simple as you think. ”

"Look, let's talk about it, and finally go back to the topic just now, you are doing this just to sacrifice Yuanyuan and stand in the camp of the Martial King, this is always right?" Qin Baichuan repeated what he had just said, and his voice was a little cold: "The situation in Dasong is turbulent, the Qiu Shan Army doesn't want to move forward in the torrent, but wants to use Yuanyuan to achieve its own goals, Old Man Liu, Mrs. Liu, don't you think it's a little too despicable?" ”

"Baichuan, don't be presumptuous!" Seeing that the faces of her father-in-law and her mother-in-law changed, Liu Yuanyuan hurriedly reminded.

"It's not that I'm presumptuous, I just think Old Man Liu and Mrs. Liu are very wrong!" Qin Baichuan didn't mean to be restrained, and said in a loud voice: "Think about it, if I am the grandson of King Zhao, my dignified little prince, every move is concerned by the people of the world, why should I marry the leader of the gangsters in Jiangling?" I'm not afraid of being poked in the backbone by people all over the world? Or, do you think the Warrior King is going to recruit troops? I want to ask, do you think that the martial king in charge of the Lin'an internal army will lack more than 10,000 people in your Qiushan army? Okay, even if I like Yuanyuan, I am willing to bear all the infamy for her, but do you think that Yuanyuan, who was born in a reckless background, can become a phoenix by flying on the branches? Don't talk nonsense, if there is a conflict, and King Wu does something to kill the nine clans, then Yuanyuan will be the cannon fodder they throw out, and the merged Qiushan Army will be their scapegoat! In other words, Qin and Liu Yuanyuan got married, but one day Qin participated in offending a great force, will you sacrifice the Qiushan Army to protect Qin, or throw Qin out to calm the other party's anger? ”

Qin Baichuan's continuous questions were thrown, Ding Sanshi and Tan Jiaotou showed a happy expression, but Old Man Liu and Mrs. Liu were a little stunned at that time. That's right, when they chose the camp at the beginning, they saw great hope in King Wu, so they were willing to bet their treasures on King Wu, in their minds, the Qiushan Army has been operating in Jiangling for so long, even King Wu can't underestimate them, with the backing of the Qiushan Army, Liu Yuanyuan's status will never be low.

But in Qin Baichuan's words, it pointed out a question that they had never seriously thought about, the Qiushan Army had a huge influence in the southern part of Dasong, which made Old Man Liu feel a little complacent, but if the Qiushan Army really compared with the internal army under King Wu, the actual combat effectiveness may not even be as good as 2,000 people! Realizing this, Liu Huasheng suddenly felt a chill down his spine!

If, if King Wu agreed to marry in order to control Qiu Shan, but not to co-opt them, then what was his real purpose? Although Old Man Liu is old, he followed Yue Xiang to fight in the south and north in his early years, but he has a lot of military experience, and the moment this question popped up, he had an uncertain inference in his heart! Just like Qin Baichuan said, his real intention is to treat the Qiushan Army as a vanguard and cannon fodder!

The current secret fighting in the imperial court has shown signs of it, and it won't be long before it will become white-hot, at this time, whether it is the emperor, the righteous king, or the martial king, the three forces will inevitably send their own people to test it, then he Qiushan Army is definitely the pawn of the martial king! At that time, if the Qiushan army has gained some advantages, King Wu's army can pour out of the nest and lay the foundation, if the Qiushan army is surrounded and suppressed, King Wu can get rid of the relationship, and even kill Liu Yuanyuan to show his heart!

"You're very honest." Liu Huasheng clenched his fists, even if he understood that what Qin Baichuan said made sense, he still had to say: "The chaos is coming, the heroes are competing for the deer, at least the old man's choice is always bigger." ”

Liu Huasheng was comforting himself, not only Qin Baichuan, but even Mrs. Liu and Liu Yuanyuan heard it. In fact, it may indeed be the case, King Yi has a reputation among the people, but he has no military power, although the court encourages private troops, but may not be used by the court, and King Wu has tens of thousands of armor soldiers, if it is based on Qiushan and attracting a group of foreign troops, the probability of victory is undoubtedly the highest.

"Win side?" Qin Baichuan found Liu Huasheng's weakness and continued to give a heavy blow: "Frankly speaking, when you choose to stand with King Wu, Old Man Liu, or the Qiu Shan Army, you will be in a situation where you will lose." Now judging from the situation, King Wu's chances of victory are indeed greater, but Old Man Liu, let's make such an assumption. For example, you know that Niu Yuan has the heart of rebellion, although you hand over the command of Qiu Shan to him, how can you not be prepared? You are like this, is the emperor blind? ”

Qin Baichuan's metaphor went straight to the point, and Old Man Liu was silent.

"Qiu Shan is still like this, let alone Emperor Lao Tzu? It is rumored that the emperor is mediocre, but if he is really a foolish emperor, what ability can he have to cross south and establish a new dynasty in a devastated land? What ability can you have in about 20 years, and still praise a good future? - At least, on the surface. ”

"It's just fate." Old man Liu is quite disdainful of the current emperor, as Marshal Yue Xiang's personal guard, although the twelve gold medals of the year were Qin Hui's fake holy decree, but after many years, how could he not have imagined that the twelve gold medals were originally approved by the emperor?

"That's okay, these are Qin's assumptions, and they can't be true." Qin Baichuan also shook his head, raised his head and asked: "I want to ask Old Man Liu, the Qiushan Army, in a sense, is the continuation of the Yue family's army, even though the present dynasty is no longer as glorious as it used to be, but Marshal Yue's loyalty to the country is something engraved on your bones, do you admit this?" ”

"Naturally!" Old Man Liu nodded proudly, as soon as he heard Marshal Yue and Yue's army, his cloudy eyes were bright, perhaps for Liu Huasheng, following Marshal Yue to fight in the south and north was the most beautiful and proud time in his life.

"Then the problem arises, Marshal Yue Xiang suffered such treatment back then, he still chose to be loyal to the country, and did not hesitate to die, if Old Man Liu turned around and took refuge in King Wu, wouldn't it be against Marshal Yue's wishes?" Qin Baichuan's words were like knives, and his eyes were deep.

"At this time and that time, if the king is not the king, the minister will not be the minister." Liu Huasheng gritted his teeth and said: "When the marshal was killed by traitors, where was the king? If he was unkind to the Yue family army back then, he won't allow the old man to be unjust to him today? Moreover, Zhaoding's country is still taken from Zhaoshanhe, this world is Zhaosong world, but it may not belong to him Zhaoding! ”

"What Old Man Liu said seems to have some truth." That Zhaoding is the emperor's name, listening to the old man say that the emperor took the country of Zhaoshan River back then, Tan Jiaotou echoed a sentence. Ding Sanshi glanced at Tan Jiao, and originally wanted to argue a few words, but if he showed too much support for the emperor, his identity would be easy to arouse suspicion, so he could only shut up.

"In the old man's words, Qin heard a hint of personal vendetta in the communiqué." Qin Baichuan stretched his voice, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Maybe what the old man said is indeed reasonable, but Qin still wants to ask, since Zhaoding ascended the throne and quelled the war, although Da Song is in a safe corner, can he criticize the people?" After Lu Shigao returned to the imperial court, he was sent to Jiangling to rectify the rule of officials, can the old man see the emperor's heart for the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty? I remember that the old man himself said that King Wu is different from King Yi, and he would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than leave any disaster...... It seems that this kind of decisive person is suitable for leading troops, can the old man be sure that he is stronger than the current emperor in governing the country? ”

"If the old man can guarantee it, then Qin has nothing to say, but I'm afraid that King Wu will ascend the throne, and the violent order will be issued, and when the time comes, even the false prosperity of Da Song will disappear, and the people will be displaced and starving all over the wilderness, so won't Old Man Liu have to bear the infamy? Don't forget, Marshal Yue's real intention to return my rivers and mountains is nothing more than that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Qin Baichuan asked a series of questions, and finally said: "Of course, this is only Qin's inference, and there is no evidence to testify. ”

"Qin Baichuan, since you know that the Qiushan Army is the continuation of the Yuejia Army, then you should know that the duty of a soldier is to be invincible and conquer everything, as for how the emperor governs after winning the world, that is the emperor's business, and the soldiers are not allowed to participate." Liu Huasheng was speechless for a long time, and Mrs. Liu thought about it and retorted.

"Mrs. Liu, this seems to be too much, right? According to what you mean, the Qiu Shan army can do whatever it wants, and it can even ignore the life and death of the Li people, yes or no? If so, Qin felt that he couldn't even tell the most basic question of asking for the people's life and the major right and wrong, so he was not worthy of being a soldier, and he was not even worthy of being a person. Qin Baichuan sneered: "Qin Mou said something that you don't like to hear, even if you deny it in every possible way, today's Qiushan is no longer the Yue family army of the past, at best, it is just a group of bandits under the guise of serving the country with loyalty." ”

"Qin Baichuan, you are so bold!" Mrs. Liu's face suddenly turned pale, the Yue family army is the pride of Qiu Shan and the belief of Qiu Shan, Qin Baichuan's words hit their soft underbelly fiercely.
