Liu Futong stared at Zhao Yu, his eyes were thoughtful, and after a while, he laughed at himself: "Back then, outside Yingzhou City, I strongly invited the sect leader to join my Yingzhou army, but the sect leader categorically refused. To be honest, I looked down on you in my heart at that time, and I felt that your heart was not ruthless enough, and it would be difficult to become a great weapon in this life. ”

Zhao Yu bowed his head slightly while listening, noncommittal.

Liu Futong continued: "Since then, the Yingzhou Army has been thriving, and although there have been occasional small setbacks, the general trend is still rising. Sect Master, although you have opened up a situation in Chuzhou, I still haven't seen it in my eyes, because the pattern is too small. It wasn't until you issued the summoning order of the Demon Lord who stirred up chaos in the world that I was impressed with you. It turns out that I haven't seen through you all along, but your heart is several times more ruthless than mine!"

"Why do you say that? I remember, it is you, Liu Tanzhu, who have gained the greatest benefit here, and I am just showing off my might and making a fortune in the rivers and lakes. Zhao Yu said with interest.

Liu Futong also laughed, pointed at Zhao Yu and said, "The sect leader is still talking like this now, but it's too boring. Your statement, but I put my Yingzhou army on the fire to bake, but the intentions in this are several times more ruthless than my intentions of abandoning the tens of thousands of sect members in the Yingzhou branch altar. If it weren't for your intervention in this situation, I could have followed the step-by-step, steady and steady work, connecting Guanzhong, Henan and Shandong into a line, advancing step by step, and then taking the old capital of Bianliang, it would be a matter of course, and there was no need to be so hasty. ”

"Do you know how much the Red Turban Army in the Northland has lost because of your intervention? 200,000, 200,000 lives. When it comes to being vicious and heroic, I, Liu Futong, am the leader of the sect. This battle destroyed almost all of the vitality of the Red Turban Army in the Northland. Yingzhou was in chaos, and I gambled on my reputation for half of my life and cut myself off from Mingjiao. And the sect leader's hand turned the clouds and rain, but buried the confidence I had accumulated for half my life, and from then on, I had no chance to enter the world and win the country, no matter how I struggled and persevered. It's just a wedding dress for the sect leader!"

Liu Futong shook his head and sighed: "The big treachery is like goodness. The sect leader's vicious calculation and revenge can not be described as ruthless, but the means are ingenious, and the name is not damaged at all. Compared to your handy big hand. I'm doing these tricks. It's really not worth a damn. If you say that your heart is spicy. I only have a fur, and the sect leader is the essence. During the time I retreated from Bianliang, I was also thinking about it. What is the difference between myself and the sect leader? I have gained a little recently, so don't you want to listen to it?"

Zhao Yu nodded and said with a smile: "It's a little difficult to hear good words from your mouth today, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

Liu Futong said with a straight face: "These words, for ordinary people, are naturally extremely unacceptable slander. However, as far as I am concerned, I have dreamed of learning, but after all, I only want to draw tiger dogs. I've been wondering, what is wrong with me compared to the Sect Master? Recently, I have finally figured it out, and it turns out that the Sect Master's victory is calm. ”

"Calm?" Zhao Yu was stunned.

Liu Futong nodded and continued: "Because you are calm, you can advance and retreat in a measured and orderly manner, even if you have a plan, your appearance will not be too ugly." Don't fight for a moment's success, don't be greedy for immediate profits, fight steadily, plan and then move, everything will come naturally. And I owe it to be calm, even if I have worked hard to operate in the Yingzhou branch for more than ten years, seized the name of a first righteousness, and pushed the anti-Yuan wave in the north to the peak, but the follow-up is weak. If the sect leader can be the master of the revival of the Han Dynasty in the future, I may be regarded as a red eyebrow and a green forest. ”

Hearing Liu Futong's excited tone, Zhao Yu was also slightly moved, and said: "Previously, Master Liu Tan also showed that he still had something to do, but now he has fallen into ambition?"

Liu Futong shook his head abruptly and said: "It's different, the vitality of the north has been lost, even if you can struggle for a while, it is difficult to do anything." He suddenly looked up at Zhao Yu and asked, "I don't know what kind of person Liu Futong is in the eyes of the sect leader?"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he lowered his head and muttered for a long time, and then said: "Although there is little harmony between us, if you talk about it from the heart, Lord Liu Tan is a great person. Caused by the current situation, a cloth cloth stirs up the situation in the world, how many people in this world can do it? ”

Liu Futong nodded proudly and said: "I have won the righteous army, regained the Han unification, and walked the road, and when the incident happened, everyone was in the limelight, even if it was defeated, it would be beautiful." Therefore, as soon as the messenger party recruited by the Tartars entered the camp, I cut them down in front of the battle. This time he bowed his head to the sect leader, not for anything else, but for the sake of asking the sect leader for one thing. I hope that the sect leader can take in my young son and help my Liu family continue this incense. ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment before he said: "This is just a trivial matter for me, but is the current situation of the Yingzhou Army already grim to this point?"

Liu Futong's expression was gloomy and said, "If it is not a last resort, I don't want to show weakness in front of the sect leader." In the first battle of Bianliang, my descendants suffered heavy casualties, and then divided the troops into the Northern Expedition, and the strength in my hands was even more diluted. Now these people under his command are full of banners, factions are clear, and it is difficult to carry out government decrees. Especially after accepting the defeat of Nanyang, the situation became more and more severe. To tell you the truth, now I don't dare to sleep in the camp at all, and I need the most reliable men and horses to guard the camp to feel at ease. Yes, does the sect leader know who is the leader of the Nanyang rout?"

Zhao Yu sighed for a while and then said, "But Zhu Yuanzhang?"

Liu Futong nodded and said bitterly: "A few years ago, I was soft-hearted and misplaced this person, but it caused me to eat the consequences. There are still nearly 10,000 troops in Nanyang, all of whom have been collected by this person, and they have become a big trend, and they have hindered me many times. It's a pity that I don't have enough strength to balance him now, so I can only sit back and watch him continue to grow. ”

Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, which was even more ruthless than Liu Futong, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel awe-inspired, so he asked: "Is there no other way to restrain this person?"

Liu Futong said: "For today's plan, only by relying on the road to Shandong and restoring contact with Shandong Maogui may be able to eradicate the cancer of Zhu Yuanzhang and other factions in the army in one fell swoop." ”

"Lord Liu Tan still wants to go on the Northern Expedition?" Zhao Yu said in surprise.

Liu Futong nodded heavily and said: "Although my heart in this life is not bright, but the heart of recovering Han unification cannot be faked. If I want to bow my head to the Tartars, it is absolutely impossible, and it is not my nature to sit in the city of sorrow and wait for death. In this Northern Expedition, I am ready to go straight to the capital, and if I don't succeed, I will become a benevolent, and I will walk in the world in vain!"

Looking at Liu Futong's resolute expression, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel excited, and said: "Lord Liu Tan has this ambition, I sincerely admire it. However, the current situation in Chuzhou is not clear, and the help it can provide is extremely limited. Zhang Shicheng has returned to the Yuan Court, sharpening his sword and Huo Huobing's troops to Shandong, but it is a major obstacle on the road of Liu Tanzhu's Northern Expedition. I can temporarily restrain this person and eliminate the trouble of Liu Tanzhu's henchman. ”

After Liu Futong heard this, his face showed great joy, and he hugged Zhao Yu heavily, and said in a heavy tone: "Farewell here, see each other indefinitely." Fortunately, it is very comforting for me to be able to turn enemies into friends with the sect leader! In this way, the dog is entrusted to the sect leader. ”

Zhao Yu opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, just nodded and responded: "Don't worry, I will live up to my trust!"

But there was a big event in his heart, Liu Futong's expression became lighter, and when he saw that it was getting late, he got up to say goodbye. Zhao Yu sent it to the camp gate, and a team of soldiers from the elite battalion of the Five Elements Banner escorted Liu Futong back to Anfeng.

Liu Futong's father and son said goodbye in tears, and everyone felt a little sad in their eyes, and their bad feelings for Liu Futong were also eliminated.

That Liu He stayed alone, and there were unfamiliar faces everywhere he looked, and he couldn't help crying. Helpless, Zhao Yu sent it to the women's camp, and a woman took care of it carefully.

Yang Xiao and the others walked in front of Zhao Yu with a complicated look on their faces. When Liu Futong talked to Zhao Yu before, they didn't go far, and it was not difficult to listen to it. Hearing Liu Futong's confession of the end of the hero, he felt quite nostalgic in his heart, and sent people away at this time, so he had time to ask Zhao Yu: "Sect Master, is his statement credible?"

Zhao Yu looked at the camp gate and said thoughtfully: "Half and half, the real hero, don't say it if you win, you can show your true colors if you lose." This Liu Futong is really a great character, quite a Hanzu take a piece of the pie, and take the young son as a hostage in exchange for a chance to gamble without distractions. This unbending temperament is worth my help to him, but whether he can succeed depends on his creation. ”

He thought about it, called Yan Yuan over again, and ordered: "The secret camp in the Yingzhou army is active, if you can find an opportunity, kill Zhu Yuanzhang!" (To be continued......)
