Chapter 2320: The slave is suspicious of Tao Yuanming
Wang Miaoyin laughed: "Brother Yu, you have been in the army for a long time and understand the morale of the army. According to what you say, will Yang Chengzu refuse to go to war and directly disband the troops and return to the fields?"
Liu Yu sighed: "I said something might happen to Sima Rongqi and his son, that's why. The two of them want to make great achievements and conquer Bashu as their own territory, and Yang Chengzu is their only hope, because although the other generals have the will to fight, they are not willing to fight.
The strength of his men is too weak, with only more than a thousand troops in total. With this strength, it is completely impossible to capture Bashu. If Yang Chengzu is forced to send troops, a mutiny will definitely occur."
Wang Miaoyin shook her head and said: "If Qiao Zong rebels, he can at least capture Bashu and use it as his stronghold. But even if Yang Chengzu and the others rebel, can they return to their hometown in Yongzhou?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Just conquer one place on the road. And I always feel that it is not that simple to manipulate Qiao this time. There seems to be an invisible hand behind the scenes, driving the rebellion in these places, just like before.
The mafia gives me the same feeling."
Wang Miaoyin's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly: "You still doubt that the Mafia has not been eliminated? My mother told me your worries this time. But we have been investigating, and there is still no evidence that the Mafia still exists.
I think this may be because you are overthinking."
Liu Yu said seriously: "What I can confirm is that there is an invisible black hand, an unknown dark force, which is still against us and causing mischief everywhere. This can be seen from what Ashou and the others did in Nanyan
, I can be very sure. But I don’t know if this force will continue to make trouble in Bashu and Lingnan this time, and I don’t know if there is such a sub-force behind Huan Zhen.”
Wang Miaoyin shook her head and said: "Huan Zhen's military advisor was Bian Fanzhi. This has been proven. Fortunately, Bian Fanzhi was killed this time. This evil man who had been working with Huan Xuan for decades was finally
It’s over. So if Huan Zhen leaves this think tank, he will never be able to make any waves again.”
Liu Yu frowned slightly: "I heard that the man who led Mao Xiuzhi and others to kill Bian Fanzhi this time was Tao Yuanming, a scholar? Did you have much contact with this man during your stay in Jingzhou? What impression do you have?"
Wang Miaoyin calmly replied: "This man is from the Xi tribe in the mountains of Jingzhou. His ancestor is Tao Kan, the first governor of Jingzhou who founded the Jin Dynasty. He could have become a prominent family in Jingzhou, but the Tao family's descendants were unworthy and fought with each other. In the end,
As a result of being left with nothing and living in the mountains, Tao Yuanming was poor since he was a child, but he worked hard to make progress, read poetry and books, and was very talented in literature. He wrote such masterpieces as Peach Blossom Spring. Therefore, whether it is Yin Zhongkan or Huan Xuan,
They all recruited him into their shogunate as a clerk. However, this person is a pure scholar and can only play with the pen. He is not good at other things."
Liu Yu softly said "Oh": "Really? But I heard that before Jiankang City was captured, Tao Yuanming, a pure scholar, went to Liu Tingyun alone and picked up Huan Xuan's little boy.
Her son Huanxuan. Liu Tingyun was counting on the child to save her life and asked Huanxuan to take her to escape. However, Tao Yuanming was able to bring this child out. Do you think this is something a literati can do?"
A trace of hatred flashed in Wang Miaoyin's eyes: "Perhaps only Liu Tingyun, a bitch, can tell what happened at that time, but I think this may be a plan arranged by Liu Tingyun long ago. She handed her son over to Tao Yuanming
Take her away so that you can get close to Liu Yi, and then continue to instigate Liu Yi to become your enemy so that you can survive. This time in Xunyang, she helped Liu Yi get Princess Langya again. You'd better take her away
The focus is on Liu Tingyun, not Tao Yuanming."
Liu Yu nodded: "Liu Tingyun is another matter. I am only talking about Tao Yuanming now. Did Tao Yuanming ever see you when we were in Jiangling? Are you familiar with this person?"
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "This man seems to have been separated from Huan Xuan after Jiankang handed Huan Sheng over to Huan Xuan. Moreover, he is an ordinary scholar and not a chamberlain. As a queen, I have no chance to meet him.
Yes, when I was in Jiangling, I could only see the guards and palace people who were looking after me every day. Even brother Sima Dezong was not around. In the end, Yin Zhongwen took me out. As for this Tao Yuanming, I have nothing at all.
Impression. Maybe it’s because he had a relationship with Liu Tingyun, so I hate this person very much.”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "However, Liu Yi relied on this person's help to conquer Jiangling this time. He revealed the intelligence in Jiangling City to Liu Yi, which allowed the Western Expedition Army to successfully counterattack. You know, Xian Zhihe
Dao Gui sent several waves of spies but could not detect the local intelligence. He, a small scholar who joined the army, could know the inside story of the entire Jiangling, including the defense situation in the city. Do you think this is normal?"
Wang Miaoyin laughed and said: "What's so difficult about this? Maybe Tao Yuanming later deceived Huan Xuan into trusting him and asked him to draft the edict. He is naturally familiar with these defense situations. Then wouldn't it be reasonable to betray this information at the right time?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "If he is under Huan Xuan, I would not doubt it, but he is under Huan Zhen. If Huan Zhen counterattacks Jiangling at this time, if the person he really trusts, it should be Bian Fanzhi. Absolutely
It couldn't be a scholar like Tao Yuanming, and Huan Zhen had just defeated He Wuji's vanguard and went to attack Lu Zongzhi. At this time, normal people would either have rebelled before or continue to be loyal to Huan Zhen, but Tao Yuanming turned to Liu
Yi revealed Jiangling's intelligence and took Mao Xiuzhi to kill Bian Fanzhi and rescue Sima Dezong. Don't you think this is a bit too coincidental?"
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "I don't think this is a coincidence. Under Tao Yuanming's status as a scholar, he had a heart to seize wealth and get ahead, so he went out to work for the Huan family. That's why, in this chaotic situation
Among them, only by following those lords who can bring him the greatest benefit can he gain the greatest wealth. Perhaps, he had planned to seize this opportunity from the beginning, so he followed Huan Zhen. After all, he is a man of letters.
, there are no secrets involved, even if Huan Zhen is defeated, he can still save his life, at most he will be sent home."
Liu Yu laughed: "That's true, maybe I'm overthinking it. But having said that, in Jiangling City that day, Tao Yuanming wanted to save him so much, but in the end Sima Xiuzhi took the lead. What do you think?
"
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "It can only be said that there are many civil and military officials in Jingzhou who have the same thoughts as Tao Yuanming and want to make atonement for their sins. Fu Hongzhi is such a person. In fact, the same goes for Lu Zongzhi."
