Chapter 1539: Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood, Road to Power
Liu Yu frowned: "Is it possible that with the Xie family, we are now negotiating terms and deals? And with Miaoyin, it's not like this. Our friendship is still there, and it shouldn't be possible for her to help me.
For profit."
Murong Lan shook his head: "Brother Lang, when you reach your status and status, don't be so naive anymore. The Xie family's first consideration is always their own family interests. Even when Xie An was the mafia Xuanwu,
Secretly operating for the benefit of the Xie family, including supporting you, it has now been proven that it was a game from the beginning, a game that wanted to use you to break the mafia. However, you, the chess piece, have been mistakenly used.
You are in control of your own destiny. Today, Madam's attitude is very clear. She is still on the side of the family, but she can protect you to a certain extent, which means leaving you room for negotiation. However, you should not expect their unconditional support.
you."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Then what conditions will the Xie family offer? Will they continue to keep the land deeds and manor? This is something I cannot agree to. I can't treat other aristocratic families the same way as the Xie family.
, Who does this make me, Liu Yucheng? Not to mention the Xie family, even my own family, I will not show favoritism. "
Murong Lan nodded: "But my family is easy to negotiate. Even if you are asked to hand over all the hundred acres of land in Jingkou, your mother and your brother will not object. But the Xie family has been running dozens of businesses in the southeast."
In 2007, my sons and nephews were scattered across all states and counties, with tens of thousands of hectares of farmland and manors, and hundreds of thousands of villagers, children, and servants. If you ask them to hand over to you, even if Madam is willing, it is impossible for all the Xie family members who live near and far to obey.
.They cultivated and promoted you to the Xie family because they want you to repay the gratitude to the Xie family, rather than in turn causing losses to yourself."
Liu Yu sighed: "But in the last battle of Feishui, the Qin army attacked by millions. Didn't the Xie family also donate food and provide food to fight against the national calamity? The purpose of taking back the land now is for the great cause of the Northern Expedition. Once the Northern Expedition is successful, these new gains will
The land can still be distributed to the nephews and nephews of the Xie family who contributed in the Northern Expedition. If you lose a small profit in the present, the rewards will be greater in the long run. My husband also understands this truth."
Murong Lan shook his head: "But my husband had power, at least on the surface, and the Northern Expedition relied on the Beifu Army formed by the Xie family as the main force. Once it succeeds, the distribution of benefits after the war will be natural.
It is my husband who has the final say. Even if we give up the interests of Jiangnan, we can still make up for it from the north."
"But what about this time? The Xie family has lost power due to the deaths of the husband and Xuan Shuai. Even Xie Yan has no real military power and has been squeezed out of the Beifu Army. Do you think the Xie family will take the future of such a top family?
, into the hands of a little officer like you? Or rather, into the hands of the emperor?"
Liu Yu's brows furrowed more and more, and he murmured: "It is impossible for me to make any promises to the Xie family now, nor to give them any practical benefits. It is even less possible for me to stop taking back the fields and population in the south of the Yangtze River and mobilize the whole country to carry out the Northern Expedition."
Plan. Aiqin, if you were the Xie family, how would you like to trade with me?"
Murong Lan's eyes flashed coldly: "The only thing the Xie family can trade with you now is the position of general of the Beifu Army. What they want now is your support to support Xie Yan to replace Wang Gong and regain control of the Beifu Army.
.If Madam makes such a condition, will you comply?"
Liu Yu said in surprise: "I am not a general of the Beifu Army. She should ask Liu Yingyang about this matter, not me. Besides, the emperor has given an order today for me to go to the capital to serve as a guard, which is equivalent to leaving the Beifu Army.
, and how can I help him?"
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "All positions are dead and empty. Only popularity and influence are real. Huan Xuan has no official position, why can he order Jingzhou and no one dares to disobey? Why?
Those generals from the Huan family's old army in various places did not obey the orders of Wang Chen, the governor of Jingzhou, but listened to the command of a white man like him? Brother Lang, you have to know that the thousands of people in the old army of the Beifu army only follow your lead, and they and others
There are also your own old troops, brother, if you really want to pull them out, there will be tens of thousands of them. Today, there are thousands of brothers who dare to go against the emperor's orders to save you. In the future, if you go up and shout, there will be even more followers.
, this influence is something Liu Laozhi does not have now."
Liu Yu's eyes were shining with light, and his heart was beginning to surge. Today was indeed the first time that he truly confirmed that there were really so many brothers who dared to risk rebellion and force the palace to ask for his life. It was also his first priority.
This time, I really had the idea of being a general.
He looked into Murong Lan's eyes and nodded: "However, it is impossible for me to establish connections and organizations in the army, or ask the emperor for orders to let Xie Yan squeeze out Wang Gong. Now I don't even have the emperor's trust.
It is impossible for him to agree to these requests of mine."
Murong Lan said seriously: "It doesn't matter whether you can do it now, what's important is that you have to make this promise to the Xie family. In the past, the Xie family bound you to Wang Miaoyin's marriage contract and your promotion and protection in the army.
.Now these two are gone, but you are an upright person, and if you make a promise, you will definitely keep it. So my wife will come to seek your support, not Liu Laozhi's. That person can be there at any time
Change his position. If Wang Gong protects his military position and allows him to be promoted, he will never betray Wang Gong, let alone miss the feelings of the Xie family's old master."
Liu Yu sighed: "If you say that, I might have a conflict with Liu Yingyang in the future? If I help the Xie family and he helps Wang Gong, it might cause a split in the Beifu Army in the future. I will never do such a thing.
Would like to see it.”
Murong Lan took a step forward and took Liu Yu's hand: "Brother Lang, either you choose to disarm and return to the fields with me, completely ignore military affairs, and become an ordinary couple. But as long as you choose this path, then
There is no way out, you can only gain power step by step, until you reach the top, because this is necessary to realize your ambition. If you want to make achievements in the Northern Expedition, you must clean up the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River and replace Liu Laozhi in the army. If you don't do this,
With such determination and preparation, it’s best to give up now!”
Liu Yu sighed: "It's not that I'm afraid of Liu Yingyang, it's just that Shou, if, if his father and I really go to this point in the future, what will happen to him?"
Murong Lan curled up her lips: "Are you underestimating your brother Ashou too much? Let's put it this way, if there is such a day in the future, he will stand by your side instead of following his father."
