Half a day later, in Guangling, Beifu Army Camp, in the commander's tent, Liu Laozhi looked at the gold medal in his hand with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Liu Sima, it seems that you are doing well in the Suwei Army.
It’s only been a month since I’ve been here, and I’ve been promoted from sergeant to Sima, and even received the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty. Now, come to my Beifu military camp, what important matter do you need my service to do?”
Liu Yu smiled slightly, looked at Liu Laozhi, and gave a military salute: "Why did the commander say this to undermine his humble position? No matter when or where, he is a member of the Beifu Army. One day for Beifu, one will always be.
It’s Beifu, and there is only one commander-in-chief of the Beifu army, and that’s you, Marshal Liu.”
Liu Laozhi's expression softened a little, and he looked at the many generals standing in the tent and said with a smile: "Jinnu still has his original intention. You all said that people will forget about us if they climb high branches. Look, Jinu still has something in his heart.
Ours.”
The veteran Liu Xi who was standing on the side coughed dryly. Those words were what he said the most. His old face turned slightly red: "Jinnu, don't blame us. It is normal for people to go to higher places and water to flow to lower places.
, On the fighting field, His Majesty named you, and we all thought that you would soar to the sky from now on. Being by the Emperor's side is much better than being in the Beifu Army, and it is easier to be promoted."
Sun Wuzhong smiled and said: "Old Xi, you don't know much about sending slaves. I have been with the Beifu Army since I was a boy, and have been through life and death. How can the relationship be changed by getting promoted and getting rich? Let alone sending slaves.
It’s the other brats who gave up their future in order to save him last time, and even prepared to cause trouble in the fighting arena.”
Liu Yu curled his lips and glanced at the tent. Apart from Liu Lao, he saw that they were all veteran generals such as Liu Xi, Sun Wuzhong, Gao Su, and Zhuge Kan. There were no Mesozoic generals such as Liu Yi or He Wuji.
, even Liu Jingxuan was nowhere to be seen. He knew very well that Liu Laozhi must be afraid that these brothers would follow him when he came, so he simply did not arrange for them to come here today. After all, he did not have an edict in his hand, so who should come out to show up?
See, it is not within my authority.
Liu Yu looked at Liu Laozhi and said sternly: "Commander, this time I came here to discuss important matters. You have also seen the gold medal given by His Majesty. This matter is just like what Your Majesty discussed with you before.
It’s related to an important matter, I don’t know…”
Liu Laozhi's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Did His Majesty ask you to come and issue orders to all the generals in the army?"
As he spoke, he winked at Liu Yu. Liu Yu understood and shook his head: "No, your Majesty only has an oral message. He has to humbly deliver it to Marshal Liu alone."
Liu Laozhi nodded, looked at the generals in the tent, and said, "Please step aside for the time being, and let me take the order first."
More than a dozen veterans bowed and retreated. When Sun Wuzhong passed by Liu Yu, he patted Liu Yu's shoulder and grinned. Liu Yu bowed and saluted until only Liu Laozhi and himself were left in the tent.
Liu Laozhi looked at Liu Yu and said calmly: "Since His Majesty asked you to declare the edict alone, it must be related to the Beifu army entering Beijing to Qingjun's side."
Liu Yu reacted immediately. Although Sima Yao did not make it clear to him, by letting Wang Gong leave Zhenbei Mansion and appointing Liu Laozhi as the commander-in-chief, he was obviously prepared to bring the Beifu Army into Jiankang to kill Wang Guobao.
This was what Sima Yao had inadvertently revealed when he was talking to him before. Liu Laozhi must have thought that he was here to announce this secret order, so he dismissed all his generals except himself. From the excitement in his eyes, he also
It can be proved that, after all, this is a major event. If successful, Liu Laozhi will never be just the commander-in-chief of the Beifu Army. Even if he is made the leading general, or even expands the size of the Beifu Army, it will not be difficult.
Liu Yu made a decision quickly, looked at Liu Laozhi, and whispered: "Your Majesty has a decree. Now is not the time to enter Beijing. I am afraid that it will scare the snake and make the traitor jump over the wall, directly threatening your Majesty's safety."
Liu Laozhi was stunned for a moment, then turned and said angrily: "How dare they! Your Majesty is the most respected person of all times and is the Son of Heaven. Who dares to attack him?"
Liu Yu sighed: "You are so anxious to jump over the wall, Commander, if our army launches, the traitor will definitely rely on the troops in the capital to control your majesty first. With your majesty's strong and unyielding personality, you will never bow to the traitor. When the time comes,
If he is harmed by a traitor, what reason does the general have for raising troops? Even if he avenges His Majesty, it also involves the matter of supporting a new king, which is beyond the control of us soldiers, and if it is because of us
I have harmed Your Majesty because of my loyalty, and my conscience will be uneasy for the rest of my life."
Liu Laozhi curled up his lips: "Last time when you were fighting on the horse stage, His Majesty had already issued a secret order, asking us to be ready at any time and to go to the capital when we saw the gold medal given by the emperor. So I knew it as soon as I saw this thing today.
The opportunity has come. I didn’t expect you to say that it’s not the right time to take action now. Huh, Liu Yu, you publicly exposed some kind of mafia in the theater fighting arena, and made you an enemy of a high-ranking family in Jin Dynasty, and put His Majesty in the same family.
On the other hand, he is in critical condition now, you can't save him, and you don't allow us to send troops to fight against the thieves, what are your intentions?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Commander, you have misunderstood me. Of course, the thieves must be punished, and His Majesty's promise to carry out land extermination and recover state-owned land and population must be completed. Our Beifu Army has failed in several Northern Expeditions.
, In addition to the fact that there are traitors like Xi Chao who are causing trouble behind the scenes and liaising with foreign countries, the more important reason is that the aristocratic families of the Jin Dynasty do not want us soldiers to make contributions, and often ruin major events on the front line by blocking the logistics in the back. Therefore,
Your Majesty also understands now that only by successfully breaking off the land and taking back the land that should belong to the country, Dingkou, can we ensure that the manpower and material resources of the Northern Expedition will not be interrupted. Marshal, Your Majesty has already had this understanding and awareness, and we should give our full support
He is the one, and only by keeping His Majesty safe can we have a chance to make great achievements."
Liu Laozhi nodded: "So, we have to kill evildoers like Wang Guobao first to scare these big families. If we don't kill a few people who take the lead in opposing, it will be difficult to carry out the end of the earth in the future. Jinu, you are good at it.
In terms of military affairs, if we are afraid that Your Majesty will be controlled by traitors, we can deploy troops quickly and secretly in the name of drills, and then cross the river at night and attack Jiankang. We have deduced it many times. In just one night, the Beifu Army will be defeated.
With five thousand elite soldiers, you can go straight into Jiankang. At that time, you only need to cooperate inside and outside, open the gate of Jiankang, and within an hour, we will be able to control the whole city, and great things will be accomplished!"
Liu Yu was secretly shocked, seeing that Liu Laozhi had actually practiced this routine many times. If he hadn't come here to mobilize people this time, he and Wang Gong would have taken action in the next few days. Fortunately,
He smiled slightly: "Commander, your plan is perfect, but there is only one thing missing, and that is how to ensure that your majesty will be safe and sound during this set of actions? What if a large army comes to Jiankang City, but your majesty is hijacked by thieves?
Go to the top of the city, order the army to withdraw, and even declare the Beifu army to be rebels, how do you respond?"
