Xie Hun said angrily: "What I dislike the most about you is that you are so pretentious. It would be nice to say it all at once, so as not to rush people. When did this happen..."
Yu Yue smiled slightly and said: "Actually, whether to cooperate with Liu Yu or Liu Yi is a matter for the future. It is not too urgent. The real priority is how to do it now, when the Beifu army is pressing down on the border and approaching the city.
Make a choice.”
Wang Mi nodded: "Yes, this is the top priority. We can no longer stand on Huan Xuan's side. Everyone knows that this time he has lost all his people and will undoubtedly lose. Before I came, Huan Xuan sent someone to preach
The order requires members of our aristocratic families in Jiankang City to protect the families of the soldiers at the front. Well, it actually requires us to be the executioners, preparing to massacre the family members of the Beifu Army and the Xifu Army who surrendered, and force us to follow them.
He was pulled into the same boat. How can such a person be worthy of being the king of the world?"
Yu Yue sneered and said: "So Huan Xuan would lose the world so quickly. Even without Liu Yu, with his personality of being cruel on the outside and forbearing on the inside, it would be a matter of time for him to bring disaster to the world. But he is also confused and wants us to come.
Supervising family members, doesn't this allow us to directly hold the families of these soldiers hostage and force them to defect? This is our credit for bringing Liu Yu to his doorstep, and Liu Yu will definitely not refuse."
Wang Mi smiled with satisfaction and said: "In Jiankang City, our major families have tens of thousands of servants in total. Although frontal combat is useless, we can guard tens of thousands of people and force their families to defect.
There is still no problem. With this credit, at least Liu Yu will be polite to us after entering Jiankang City, which can be regarded as our initiative to express our position. In this regard, the three of us need to act separately and inform other families in the city that they are not
Fool, you know you must not get blood on your hands at this time."
Yu Yue said seriously: "We still need to send people to the front line to pass this news to the soldiers in front, so that the surrendering troops will directly side with Liu Yu and attack the Chu army in turn. However, Huan Xuan has now gone to the Ancestral Temple
, he probably also knew the danger ahead and did not dare to go into battle in person. If he was defeated outside the city, Huan Xuan would definitely escape to Jingzhou."
Wang Mi smiled and said: "Then shouldn't we add another effort, capture Huan Xuan directly, and offer it to Liu Yu to end this war?"
Yu Yue shook his head: "Absolutely not, Huan Xuan must be kept, otherwise, how can we cooperate with Liu Yu?"
Xie Hun said thoughtfully: "Zhong Yu is right. If Liu Yu is allowed to eliminate Huan Xuan so quickly and gain power in the world, then we will be really dispensable to him. He
It may not be necessary to cooperate with us. Therefore, only when Liu Yu has strong enemies outside and insufficient management talents internally, will he have to cooperate with us. Wudi Manor and the governors of various prefectures and counties will all be handed over to us.
Of course, people can appropriately distribute some to Qiu Ba, who has raised an army with him this time, but it cannot exceed one-third, otherwise, how much will we have left?"
Wang Mi curled up his lips: "But this means that those who followed Liu Yu in the uprising will not gain much benefit. Can they agree?"
Yu Yue said with a smile: "Then let them continue fighting and hunt down Huan Xuan. Liu Yu can give him the official title. Since there is no manor, the official title is of little use. He can give some generals, county men, etc.
, the most we can do is contribute some salary. As long as the manor is in our hands, this loss is nothing. Madam has a saying that is right. Times are different now, and some of our concepts must also change. Some benefits should be
We still have to give in, but the core interests are the ownership of Wudi Manor, as well as the governors and chief historians of the eight counties in Jiangdong. Don't hold these important positions, we still have to try our best to keep them in our hands. Otherwise, what else would we call the world of aristocratic families?
?”
Xie Hun nodded: "Does this mean that Liu Yu will continue to attack Jingzhou with his men, and then allocate the land in Jingzhou to these Beifu troops?"
Yu Yue said seriously: "Yes, that's how it should be. In fact, Sima Yuanxian made this suggestion to Liu Laozhi last time when he attacked Huan Xuan. If it were implemented, everyone would be happy, but it's a pity that the two of them have their own agendas and plot against each other.
In the end, it turned out to be advantageous to Huan Xuan. But there is no problem with this proposal. Let the Beifu army march westward. Firstly, it will allow them to fight in Jingzhou for many years. Secondly, even after the victory is over, they will be rewarded with the land of Jingzhou. That's it.
As soon as the military-Han group that threatened our family was sent to Jingzhou, we in Wu were temporarily safe, and we could slowly build up our own power in the future. We could even provoke a fight between Liu Yu and Liu Yi.
Divide and disintegrate the Beifu Army and turn it into a force that obeys our orders again!"
Xie Huan clapped his hands and said: "Zhong Yu, you think better. Honestly, did you have this idea when you attacked Huan Xuan last time, and that's why you ran to be with Sima Shangzhi?!"
Yu Yue nodded: "Yes, that's right. Originally, the Xifu Army was in the vanguard and the Beifu Army followed. This idea of mine could have been realized. It's a pity that fools like Sima Yuanxian and Liu Laozhi messed things up.
I screwed up, and I was frightened for so long, and I had to surrender to Huanxuan. But now our conditions may be better, because Huanxuan helped us depose Sima Dezong, maybe, we can establish another one.
By supporting the new king, our position in the court will be strengthened in the future."
Wang Mi softly said "Oh": "Then do you have someone to choose? Sima Dezong and Dewen brothers, including Wang Shen'ai, have gone to Jiangzhou now. It will be difficult to get them back. There seems to be no Sima family in the city.
What a decent choice."
Yu Yue laughed: "Even a loser like Sima Dezong can become emperor, who can't? Now in Jiankang City, there is a ready candidate, the former King Wuling of the Jin Dynasty, and Peng Ze of Huanchu
Hou Sima Zun, what do you two think?"
Xie Hun laughed: "I was about to talk about him. This Sima Zun is the grandson of Sima Rui, Emperor of Jin Yuan Dynasty. His father Sima Xi was quite talented in military affairs at that time. He was a rare member of the Sima clan who could lead troops in war.
Because of this, he was jealous of Huan Wen, who falsely accused him of treason. He was eventually seized and exiled, and died in depression. It was not until Huan Wen died and Sima Yao became emperor that Sima Zun's Wuling throne was restored. In fact, it is said that he was not the eldest son.
, but the eldest brother died young, and the second brother adopted other Sima clan to inherit the throne, and the title of Prince Wuling, which Huan Wen had deposed for many years, unexpectedly fell to him. If anyone hates the Huan clan, I am afraid that no one in the world
More than this prince. He even publicly said that he wished to kill everyone with wood in their surname to vent his hatred. Huan Xuan usurped the throne, but he did not get rid of this person, leaving us with a ready-made new
