Liu Muzhi softly said "Oh": "What other power can you rely on? If you don't cooperate with the Mafia, and you are unwilling to lend support to Sima Yuanxian who has fallen out with the Mafia, then what else can you rely on?
?Beifu Army, you can't go back for the time being. Liu Laozhi will not allow you to poach his subordinates and steal his limelight. He has already directly attacked you. Isn't this obvious?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Does the Jin Dynasty have no other power besides them?"
Xu Xianzhi looked at Liu Yu suspiciously: "Do you want to rely on God's love? Then take the emperor's route? But that is a fool who doesn't know what to do. He is not Sima Yao. Any of his edicts will not be implemented. First of all, Sima
Yuan Xian is now in charge of Zhongshu Province, so he will not issue edicts or send slaves directly. He should be more realistic. Besides, the Xie family can only count on Xie Yan now. If he fails, the entire Xie family will be ruined. God's love can still be
It’s a question mark if I can’t stay in the palace.”
Speaking of this, Xu Xianzhi's eyes suddenly lit up: "You probably want to cooperate with Huan Xuan or Yan Guo, right?"
Liu Muzhi said angrily: "Xianzhi, what do you think of the slave? An open traitor and a foreign barbarian, how can we cooperate? What the slave wants is loyalty and integrity, but...
How you can maintain your loyalty and borrow strong power at the same time, I really can't imagine."
Liu Yu said slowly: "The people's hearts and the people are the greatest power in the world. What I really want to rely on is not those high-ranking families, nor the brothers from the Beifu Army who cannot be used now, but the people of Wu.
Only with their support can I truly advance step by step."
Liu Muzhi frowned: "But the people of Wu are in disarray. For many years, they have been controlled by high-ranking families, or by Wu tycoons like the Shen family. When did they ever have their own power? Not to mention,
Now they are all hiding in the mountains and forests, and their own survival is in question. How can they provide help to you? If you want to recruit these people to form an army, you must have the title of general. Now you are just a member of the army.
He came here to guard the granary, and he didn't even have the honor of building an army."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Since ancient times, soldiers and horses have become the emperor. Now we are in troubled times, not a peaceful period. This is a war zone, not a peaceful Jiankang city. Everything is military first. You said that Yuan Gong is the history of the country of Wu. In theory, all
The people should all be his subjects, but in Wuxing City, there are only a few hundred households, less than 10% of the people led by the Shen family. So, who is really powerful in this Wuxing city?
Where are the people?”
Liu Muzhi nodded thoughtfully and said: "Are you saying that you want to be real first, and then have a name? This idea is okay, but don't forget that the five sons of the Shen family were bandits and thieves before. They can
He is in charge of five thousand households, but after all he has no title. As long as Mr. Yuan pardons and convinces the people, won't these people follow him?"
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Then tell me, do these people want to follow Mr. Yuan, or do they want to follow me?"
Xu Xianzhi took a breath of air: "Do you want to directly support the people and become self-reliant in the name of recruiting refugees and resettling the people?"
Liu Yu waved his hand: "I'm not that stupid. To do this would be to commit rebellion. My current identity is that of Cancao who guards Wuzhuang and joins the army. However, I have a formal official position in the court. If the rebellion in Wu breaks out again, the situation will be out of control.
When the government and the army are unable to calm down for a while, then my opportunity comes. In the name of obeying the authority in urgent matters, I can discuss with the local tycoons of Wu, such as the five sons of the Shen family, how to protect them and how to serve the court, that is,
It’s a matter of providing food and troops for me.”
Liu Muzhi's eyes sparkled: "Are you sure they will be able to help you at this time?"
Liu Yu nodded seriously: "I'm very sure that the common people may have no food and money, but these rich families have accumulated hundreds of years of accumulation. Those five thousand families of common people followed the five sons of the Shen family, not because of the benevolence of the Shen family.
The name deserves to be followed by the people, but because the Shen family hid 200,000 shi of grain in Xishan, enough to feed 100,000 people for a year, that's why these people went to join them, and most of the local tycoons in other places did the same.
.In troubled times, money and food are the foundation for soldiers and horses. You can temporarily do without money, but you cannot live without food. Now that I am sitting in the Wuzhuang grain depot, I have the status of providing food for the people. This status is comparable to an empty one.
General, it will be more effective."
Liu Muzhi's brows widened: "I understand, I completely understand, you are the one who is higher up as a slave. I originally thought that you were demoted by Liu Laozhi and failed to achieve your goals here. I didn't expect that you would have been here for a long time."
The plan is ready, but how can you be sure that Liu Laozhi will let you guard the grain depot?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Besides guarding the grain depot, where else can he place me? There will be people following me when I go to the supply camp. Besides, I have already used it once in the last battle of Wuzhuang. If I go to any army,
They will all become my independent men. This is something that Marshal Liu never wants. The demon thieves are fierce and he has no confidence to defeat them without me. Therefore, he can only put me in a position where he can monitor the demon thieves without being divided among the army.
Where his subordinates are, I originally asked for orders to go to Juzhang, just to give him this hint, but I don't think he would agree. Even if he agreed, Xie Yan would never agree, so it depends on the best.
Among them, the only one who won't let me stay in Juzhang is Wuzhuang. After all, Yuan Neishi has a good relationship with me and will not drive me away. Xie Yan is the internal history of Kuaiji and has no control over the state of Wu, so he will put me here.
At this point, it’s almost the only option.”
Xu Xianzhi put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "Jinnu, Jinu, you have a far-reaching road ahead. Both of us scribes are not as good as you. Even the fat man didn't think of such a wonderful idea. You really thought of it before you came here this time."
alright?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "I planned according to the military, step by step. Now this is just a preliminary plan. I could have expected that Xie Yan and Liu Laozhi were at odds, but I didn't expect that Xie Yan would really disregard the overall situation and drive away at this time.
Beifu Army, if Xie Yan needs my help now, I will not hesitate to help him. After all, my personal future is small now, and counterinsurgency is the first priority. Once the demon thief is really allowed to succeed here, everything will
It’s all over.”
Liu Muzhi sighed: "After all, you and I have received favors from the Xie family, especially the husband and wife. Although Xie Yan is now stubborn, if he really fails, it will be difficult to control the evil and thief's power and spread it.
The local tycoons in various parts of Wu will often defect to the demon thieves again, and the people of Wu who were heartbroken by the imperial soldiers' robbery will follow the path of the Heavenly Master and never look back. Zhinu, you need me to go.
Would you like to persuade Xie Yan to cooperate with you?"
