Liu Yu frowned deeply. Emotionally, he didn't want to believe what Huan Xuan said, but he vaguely felt that it made sense. Back then, the Wang family and the Xie family worked together to prevent Huan Wen from usurping the throne. This matter was known to the whole world.
But whether such a move is out of righteousness or out of family selfishness, who can tell clearly?
When Huan Xuan saw Liu Yu didn't respond, he smiled slightly: "Brother Liu, this is Shouchun, and it is also the starting point of my late father's third northern expedition. Everyone knows that my late father was finally defeated by Murong Chui of the Yan Kingdom. Almost
Our lives are at risk, and only a few thousand of the more than 40,000 elite Jingzhou soldiers have returned. Our Huan family has almost lost its foundation in one battle, and its vitality has been severely damaged, but do you know where we really lost?"
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Because Yuan Zhen, who was the governor of Yuzhou at the time, responded passively and failed to open up the Hangou waterway, so the food and grass in the rear was insufficient, the army in the front was short of food, and the morale of the army was unstable. Murong Chui seized the opportunity and launched a defensive
Counterattack, and when they finally retreated after running out of food, they were chased for thousands of miles by the Murong family's cavalry, and that was how Fangtou was defeated."
Huan Xuan sighed: "This is just the truth you can see, but what you can't see is that Yuan Zhen was instructed by Xie An and Wang Tanzhi to deliberately delay the army supplies in the rear and wanted to kill his late father.
."
Liu Yu's eyes widened and he said in a deep voice: "Do you have any evidence for what you say?"
Huan Xuan sneered and said: "How can there be public evidence for this kind of thing? Just like I killed Huan Jiang this time and destroyed the marriage between the Xie family and Huan Yi, the children of the aristocratic family naturally know it, but they cannot do it to the outside world.
public."
At this point, Huan Xuan curled up his lips: "But Liu Yu, you are a smart man. Yuan Zhen later surrendered to the enemy and treason, because our Huan family could not openly fall out with the Wang family and the Xie family, so we could only use him as a punching bag. But this time
After the thief finished taking advantage of others, he kicked him directly. Wang Tanzhi and Xie An chose him cleanly, leaving no evidence, and refused to save him."
"And my late father almost lost his life in the Northern Expedition, so naturally he wanted to take it out on him, so he had no choice but to surrender to the Yan State. My late father had long expected this, and had carried out counterintuitive measures in the Yan State before attacking Shouchun, so that the Yan State
The monarch and his ministers were suspicious of each other, and Murong Chui was forced to flee, so the Yan State could not rescue Yuan Zhen, so we captured Shouchun in one fell swoop. This is revenge, for the tens of thousands of soldiers who died, and it is also a warning to the Wang family and the Xie family!"
Liu Yu said coldly: "This is just your own talk, I won't believe it."
Huan Xuan smiled and said: "Do I need to make up stories about a small building owner like you? Think about it, after a treasonous criminal like Yuan Zhen committed suicide in fear of crime, the court controlled by Wang Tanzhi and Xie An actually issued an order not to kill him.
Corpse, they knew clearly that my Huan family and the Zhu family had a blood feud with the Yuan family, but they issued such an order. Isn't this just to protect the Yuan family's dignity and show it to the aristocratic families who still follow them?"
Liu Yu curled his lips: "So you just want to open the coffin and kill the corpses, and go against the Wang family and the Xie family? Then your late father will definitely commit treason?"
Huan Xuan gritted his teeth: "Yes, that's it. Since the Jin Dynasty moved south, it can be said that there has been no emperor who has been in power and has always been a puppet. Therefore, power has fallen into the hands of the Wang family and the Xie family. My first great emperor
My father died fighting for the country to suppress the rebellion, but my late father did not receive any title or official position. If he had not killed his enemies alone and became famous all over the world, how could it be possible for the Huan family of Jingzhou to rise?"
"Why did the emperor at that time marry the princess to his late father? Didn't he just want to use this consort to gain influence from the outer vassals, and in turn restrict the Wang family, Xie family, and Yu family that controlled the center? This is fine, their emperor
He and the high-sect family were scheming and fighting together, and then my late father took the opportunity to make achievements with the Northern Expedition, control Jingzhou, and have the potential to change the dynasty."
Liu Yu sneered and said: "You also admit that your late father's Northern Expedition was not to recover the lost territory, but his motive was just to gain military glory and fame for his usurpation of the throne. Can you convince me and everyone in the world about this kind of thing?
"
Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "At least our Huan family has made real achievements, and it was built with swords and guns. Have the emperors of the Sima family, the Wang family, and the Xie family, these high-ranking families, ever risked their own lives to make contributions? They just want to protect themselves.
It’s just their power and country, and they won’t even take back the graves of their ancestors. Liu Yu, if it were you, would you follow them or us?”
Liu Yu said seriously: "I will follow a hero who has pure motives and protects the family and the people. Huan Xuan, the motives of your Huan family have always been impure. Even during your late father's time, I don't think I will follow him."
.Now I understand why Wang Meng didn’t go south with your late father back then.”
Huan Xuan sneered: "Then why did you follow the Xie family? Is it because they rescued you? Helped you pay off your gambling debt? Or is it because they used a honey trap to give you a noble girl?"
Liu Yu laughed loudly: "Huan Xuan, you underestimate me Liu Yu too much. How can a real man be bribed by these wealthy women? If it hadn't been for the Xie family, I would have killed the Diao family's dogs.
, and then wandered around the world, I followed Xuan Shuai because he promised to make the Northern Expedition and regain the lost territory. I admire his character and integrity, and he has always done this in the past two years and has not let me down. "
Huan Xuan said coldly: "Really? Then you'll have to wait and see whether he will make the Northern Expedition. Also, isn't Wang Miaoyin the one the Xie family used to get you into the family? Do you dare not admit it?"
Liu Yu shook his head and said seriously: "Of course not, Miaoyin and I are in love. She is a weak woman who is willing to risk herself for the sake of the country. This deserves my respect, Liu Yu. My love with her is also the same.
What was established during life and death is definitely not the kind of marriage deal purely for profit."
Huan Xuan sneered: "Really? Why did the Xie family give you this opportunity to be with a beauty for thousands of miles, but not to Liu Yi, not to He Wuji, not to Liu Jingxuan? Liu Yu, don't deceive yourself, you
The matter with Wang Miaoyin is essentially no different from that of Liu Tingyun and Huan Jiang, you are all just Xie An's pawns."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Miaoyin and I love each other sincerely, not for power or wealth. Even if I return to the fields and become a farmer in Jingkou in the future, she will follow me. Huanxuan, maybe for you, everything in the world, including family love and marriage,
They can all be traded, but I am not that kind of person, and neither is Miaoyin!"
Huan Xuan sighed: "I believe that one day in the future, you will know how wrong you are. Liu Yu, we don't have to beat around the bush. I came to you today just to ask you if you are interested in coming to us."
Jingzhou, I will make you the number one general of our Huan family army! In the future, you will definitely be the most meritorious minister of my Huan family in the world!"
