Chapter 1986: High-ranking officials with generous salaries are also servants
Liu Laozhi was dumbfounded. He looked at Liu Jingxuan and was speechless for a long time: "Why didn't you tell me about such a thing earlier?"
Liu Jingxuan said bitterly: "My father only said that the Prince of Kuaiji gave you a high official, generous salary, and the position of a general. He only knew that he summoned the child into the mansion and became a guard with the rank of general, which is for you and the Beifu."
It’s a blessing from the army, but you don’t know that in his eyes, we soldiers are just the lackeys of the flying eagle, no different from the servants who look after our homes and homes!”
Liu Laozhi shouted sternly: "Shut up, we are soldiers and generals of the imperial court. When did we become servants of the army?!"
His purple face was red with anger, just like a piece of pig liver that had been left out for a long time. He was furious and his hands were clenched into fists. It was rare for many people to be able to make Liu Lao, who had many plans with Shen Yi, be so angry.
seen.
Liu Yu was very clear in his heart. After Liu Laozhi gathered in the mountains and forests to recruit people for the Xie family, he served as Xie Xuan's family general for several years. In fact, he was the private soldier Liu Jingxuan mentioned. He probably made many people laugh at him back then.
, this is an unhealable wound in the deepest part of his heart. Today, Liu Jingxuan brings up such an old matter again, how can he not get angry and roar like thunder?!
Liu Jingxuan didn't think so much. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Father, handsome, it's not that if the child doesn't talk about these things, these things don't exist. In Sima Yuanxian's eyes, only those children of aristocratic families can call him brothers.
, he is disgusted and repulsed by us soldiers who wear helmets and are covered with sweat. If it were a child of a noble family, how could he dare to make these shameless demands?!"
Liu Laozhi gritted his teeth: "As a general, I have the responsibility to advise His Highness the Crown Prince to be upright. His words and deeds represent the face of the Jin Dynasty. I will go to see His Highness the Crown Prince right now! The chaos in Tianshi Dao is not yet complete.
After pacification, Huan Xuan is eyeing him again, and the Hulu in the north are also pressing against him again and again. At this time, if His Highness, the Crown Prince, as the person in power, is still so close to the villain, Yuan Zhongliang, then the country will be in danger!"
Liu Yu sighed softly: "The commander-in-chief is very loyal, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness will not want to see you at this time."
Liu Laozhi was slightly startled: "What do you mean by this? How dare he offend our Beifu Army at this time?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "When you see him now, you must be telling him something he doesn't like to hear. You are either advising him to work hard and stay away from drinking and sex, or you are asking for credit for the soldiers and asking him to get more manor land and state and county official positions.
Come out and tell the soldiers. No matter what happens, he doesn’t want to hear it. So, it’s a sure thing to say he’s sick and not see it!”
Liu Laozhi's eyes widened: "I am a general, he can just say it but not see it?!"
Liu Yu shook his head: "If he was really a person like Xie Xianggong, he would never have thought of letting the commander lead his troops to escort his followers to seize the land of Sanwu in this time of internal and external troubles, let alone your
It has been so long since I returned to Jingkou and I have not taken the initiative to see you. Huan Xuan has already prepared his army for war and will set off at any time. If he is not an extremely numb person, how could he still be drunk and dreaming at this time?!"
Like a deflated rubber ball, Liu Laozhi fell back on the handsome chair. He murmured to himself: "No, he, he won't do this."
Liu Yu took a step forward, his eyes bright: "Commander, for now, you should not have too high hopes for the Crown Prince. The only one who can save our Beifu Army is the Beifu Army itself. Huan Xuan does not dare to take action at this time.
It's just because of the existence of our Beifu Army, not because of any fear of the Crown Prince."
Liu Laozhi gritted his teeth, stood up, and glanced at everyone: "Today's military discussion will end here. Deputy Marshal Gao, Liu Jianwu, and Ah Shou, you three will stay. Oh, Xi Le, you will stay too.
Next, the other generals will return to their respective camps to prepare for battle."
The generals all bowed and retreated. The moment He Wuji turned around, he patted Liu Yu's shoulder and gently pressed down with his hands, implying that Liu Yu was facing his uncle.
At this time, you still have to have reservations and don't be too harsh. After all, Liu Laozhi's interests are inseparable from Sima Yuanxian. It would be cruel to break his illusions.
The tent became empty. Liu Laozhi looked at Liu Yu and said in a deep voice: "Jinnu, now tell me, what do you mean? Everyone knows that our Beifu Army has defected to Sima Yuanxian, even if he has some
It’s useless, but do we have any other choice?”
Liu Yu said calmly: "I expect that Sima Yuanxian will soon recruit our Beifu army to go out to attack Huan Xuan. It is best for the commander not to obey this order. Only in this way can we save the lives of our family and our Beifu army."
Gao Su sternly said: "That's nonsense! The government is now dominated by Sima Yuanxian, and his orders are His Majesty's holy orders. As soldiers, we can only obey! Besides, how did you know that Sima Yuanxian wanted us to attack Huan
Xuan? What evidence or information is there?"
Liu Jingxuan also looked at Liu Yu and frowned slightly: "Yes, Ji Nu, although I have always believed in you, this matter is a bit exaggerated. Sima Yuanxian just defeated the Tianshi Dao Rebellion. Everyone knows
, He needs to recuperate at this time, and he himself is drunk and dreaming all day long, how could he order a war against Huan Xuan at this time? "
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Because he gave us promotions one by one, and even gave high deputy commander Wuxing County Governor such a lucrative position. This has never happened since the founding of the Jin Dynasty! If you want to take it first, you must give it first.
In other words, with Sima Yuanxian's greed, he would never give us such a large reward for our efforts in suppressing the rebellion. Just like back then, he would only send a high deputy commander to promise a high-ranking official a noble title before the commander-in-chief rebelled against Wang Gong.
Has it only been a few years and everyone has forgotten about it?"
Gao Su's face turned slightly red. After all, as a general, he became a lobbyist. This is not a glorious thing. He gritted his teeth: "But even according to your statement, he didn't ask me to come this time.
What are you trying to do to convince the commander-in-chief, and how do you know that he wants the commander-in-chief to send troops? Could it be that this time he asked you to be a lobbyist?!"
Liu Yu sighed: "What the deputy commander said was wrong. I asked you to be a lobbyist back then because the commander-in-chief was a general under Wang Gong and not under Sima Yuanxian. But now, he controls the government and can directly
Order, and everyone knows that the commander-in-chief has taken refuge with him, and the Beifu army obeys his orders. All it takes is a military order, so why bother looking for someone to be a lobbyist? This time, we will reward our troops heavily and be promoted to a higher rank, which is to win over them in advance.
, so that we can fight with our lives right away, and we are required to go out to war again without disarming our armor or taking off our horses’ saddles!”
