Xie Daoyun's face sank: "Mu Zhi, what do you mean by this? I came thousands of miles to deliver food this time and took out all the old men of the Xie family. Is it to build a career for Liu Laozhi? He is now with Wang Gong
, if he no longer listens to our Xie family’s orders, why should I help him succeed?”
Liu Muzhi said quickly: "Madam, please don't get me wrong. I just think that the north is dangerous now. The strong Hu is in front, and if the back is unstable, even with this army ration, I'm afraid it will be unsustainable. What if we send slaves to the Northern Expedition this time?"
If anything goes wrong, the chance of the Xie family's revival will be wasted."
Xie Daoyun said coldly: "Mu Zhi, although you are resourceful, your biggest weakness is here. You are too good at calculations and lack the courage to move forward. I think back then, General Zu Ti led three thousand servants, and his troops
During the Northern Expedition, the situation was not much worse than now. He didn't even have weapons or armor, let alone food and grass. Didn't he rely on his patriotism and fighting spirit to carve out a world in the northern Central Plains? Now Xiaoyu's situation is very good, so-called
The rear support is nothing more than manpower and food and grass. I have already given him these. As for the troops, when they arrive in Bingzhou and establish territory, they can naturally recruit troops and recruit people. I will also send out my Xie family's troops based on the battle situation ahead.
Bankers and tenants are here to support the front, so you don’t have to worry at all.”
Having said this, Xie Daoyun gritted his teeth: "Now the Beifu Army has fallen into the hands of Wang Gong. In the past, when Mr. Xianggong was here, he was very respectful and obeyed our Xie family's orders. But now that he has the power, he will not let us go anymore."
In our eyes, a while ago we wanted Xie Yan to return to the Beifu Army as the deputy general in charge of the army. Such a small request was rejected by him. He said that it was not appropriate for the Xie family to come out to take charge of the army at this time. In fact, even Liu Laozhi
He can use all the criminals in the Northern Expedition. Our Xie Yan was a hero in Feishui. During the Battle of Yecheng, he was in the south of the Yangtze River and did not commit any crimes, but he was unable to command the army? It was obvious that he wanted to monopolize the military power of Beifu and wanted to exclude him.
In our Xie family, my husband and Youdu both looked away and failed to see Wang Gong’s ambition!"
Liu Yu sighed: "Madam, please calm down. I, Liu Yu, am grateful for the kindness of the Xie family, and I will never be like this."
Xie Daoyun turned his anger into joy and took Liu Yu's hand: "Xiao Yu, I'm very happy. You are still the same Xiao Yu. You are still so loyal, brave, simple and kind. Therefore, our Xie family will do our best to support you.
You want to avenge the shame of defeat in the Northern Expedition, and our Xie family also needs it. Therefore, this Northern Expedition must not be left to outsiders. Zhu Xu himself was defeated and captured, and he also wants to avenge his shame. I can help you persuade him on this point.
You can rest assured that he is nearly seventy years old and will not be able to fight abroad for a long time. Once we recover southern Shanxi, I will find a way to get him back to Beijing. The Northern Expedition will naturally be in your charge."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "Jinnu has no official status, so it is too inappropriate to lead the Northern Expedition in a white body. Those who are his enemies will definitely try to do something about it."
Xie Daomun smiled slightly: "If you can gain a foothold in the north, you can follow the old example of Yuzhou, add the title of general, and make Bingzhou governor. As for how far you can fight, it is up to you. Don't worry, I will
We will fully support you from the rear. The mafia may be detrimental to you, but we will also try our best to attract their attention so that they will not harm you. As long as you are out of the mafia's sphere of influence, the tragedy of Gotohashizawa
, it won’t happen again.”
Liu Yu clapped his hands suddenly: "Okay, it's decided, madam, we are going to see Governor Zhu now. Fatty, please go and count the newly arrived grain and grass, organize the people, we must send out troops as soon as possible."
Liu Muzhi frowned: "We don't have any foreign aid now. How about we wait for news from Murong Lan?"
Xie Daoyun said in surprise: "What? You let Murong Lan go out? You didn't ask her to go back to Houyan to find her brother and jointly send troops to attack Xiyan. Xiaoyu, this is a serious crime of seducing Hulu. If it is exposed, the situation will be ruined."
You are complicit in rebellion. I’m afraid we can’t protect you either.”
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "That was a helpless move when there was no military rations or foreign aid. Now that the rations have arrived, there is no need for it. Fatty, find a way to inform Alan and ask her to come back to meet us quickly. As for Murong Chui,
If he is willing to agree to what we have discussed, we will cooperate as planned. If he is not willing, we will not force it. I will fight to destroy Xi Yan in this battle, with or without the help of Hou Yan!"
Liu Muzhi glanced at Xie Daoyun, sighed, turned around and left. Liu Yu smiled and walked in the other direction: "Madam, let's go see Zhu Governor now. I think he will be excited for your arrival.
"
Three days later, we arrived at Lishi Fortress in the north of Bingzhou.
This is a desolate stone fortress that has long been abandoned. In the surrounding mountains, there are birds chirping and beasts barking, and the sound of wolves howling at night is constant, revealing a sense of desolation and terror. This former military town defended the northern grasslands.
As the battle in Bingzhou has intensified recently, all the defenders have withdrawn, and not even a single person has disappeared.
Xie Daoyun's figure stood alone in the wind, standing quietly at the head of the fortress, but his deep gaze was cast on the northern grasslands. No one could imagine that this famous lady from the south of the Yangtze River would appear in such a desolate place at this time.
The wilderness of the Northland.
In the shadow behind her, a faint firelight flashed, and among the smoke, a face wearing a green dragon mask gradually emerged, followed by the tall and slightly hunched figure, slowly coming, and a burst of...
The sound of a cough filled with phlegm reached Xie Daoyun's ears. She turned around, looked at the face in the Qinglong mask, and sighed: "I never thought we would meet in this way, Master Qinglong."
A strange look flashed in Qinglong's eyes: "Dao Yun, are you very surprised after knowing my identity?"
Xie Daoyun turned his head coldly: "I never dreamed that Qinglong would be you, let alone that you were the one who dealt such a heavy blow to my husband."
Qinglong sighed: "That's what I have to do. Xuanwu paid the price for his own ambition. Our mafia will not allow people who want to be independent to exist. This is also the reason why I was jointly dealt with by Suzaku and the others.
"
Xie Daoyun sneered: "I have no interest in your struggle for power, and I don't want to know. I came to you this time for two things. One is that I hope you can persuade Tuoba to help Murong Yong and resist Liu Yu.
Northern Expedition."
Qinglong smiled slightly, and a fire flashed above the smoke hole in his throat: "Are you sure you want me to help Murong Yong block Liu Yu, rather than help Liu Yu destroy him?"
Xie Daoyun said seriously: "The person you want to block is not Liu Yu, but Murong Chui!"
