Chapter 364: Heroes finally stand on their own feet
Murong Nan smiled and shook his head, wagging his finger: "Liu Yu, you finally couldn't help but say it. I knew that Huan Xuan would not give up the opportunity to be alone with you. He still
I recruited you directly in person. It’s a pity that he probably didn’t know that he came a step too late.”
Liu Yu said seriously: "I'm not talking about Huan Xuan, I'm just talking about the question I asked you just now. If you were in my position, would you follow the Xie family or Huan Xuan?"
Murong Nan stared at Liu Yu motionlessly: "Liu Yu, has your belief been shaken? You already have such a relationship with Wang Miaoyin, is there still room for you to change families?"
Liu Yu shook his head and said seriously: "Miaoyin is Miaoyin, and the Xie family is Xie family. These are two different things. I only ask you, if you remove the factor of Miaoyin and Xuan Shuai's kindness to me, you will only be allowed to live in the Huan family and the Xie family."
If you choose between these two, who would you choose?"
Murong Nan sighed: "Liu Yu, you are a hero, you may even be the king who dominates the world. Don't you think it's stupid to ask such a question? If you are a hero, you will not take shelter under anyone's wings.
It is impossible to surrender to anyone. At most, you can only borrow the power of others for a while. When you are able to stand on your own, you will never leave your destiny to others!"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Just like your Murong family, when you were weak, you used the banner of Jin ministers to recruit people from the north, and the nobles were used for your own purposes, and when you are strong, you stand on your own and ascend the throne?"
Murong Nan nodded: "Which of the heroes of the past and present is not like this? Liu Yu, the Xie family and the Huan family all think about the interests of their own families. You are just a tool in their hands, or a chess piece. When you don't
When their fundamental interests are endangered, they will give you what you want, protect you, and let you develop, but once your power exceeds their control, they will get rid of you without hesitation!"
Liu Yu swallowed his saliva: "Maybe the Huan family will be like this, but I don't believe Xie Xianggong, Xuan Shuai will be like this too!"
Murong Nan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "The reason why the Xie family has grown from a second-class family to a top wealthy family is by no means soft-hearted. Liu Yu, there are some things I don't want to tell you, but you should know it yourself. Back then, Wang
What is the relationship between Tanzhi and Xie An? They have been classmates since they were young, have been colleagues since they grew up, are their children and in-laws, and have shared life and death in the process of opposing Huan Wen's usurpation of the throne. They can be said to be close friends and brothers who have died. That relationship is only better than that between you and Liu Jingxuan
Theirs is stronger and stronger!"
"But what happened later? After Wang Tan died and the Xie family became the dominant family, didn't Xie An try his best to exclude the Wang family's children? Although Wang Guobao is not a thing, a talented person like Wang Chen can learn from it.
People are not allowed to be reused. It is always said that the Wang family is as famous as the Xie family, but now the Xie family is the dominant one. This makes Wang Guobao turn to the emperor. You said that the Xie family treats the Wang family, which is also a high-ranking family.
He is so heartless, let alone your son-in-law who comes to visit me."
Liu Yu wanted to open his mouth to refute something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say a word. His eyes were shining and his hands were shaking slightly. Xie An's amiable faces suddenly appeared in front of him.
A hint of cloud.
Murong Nan curled up his lips and continued: "As for the Huan family, Jingzhou fell into the hands of the Yu family back then. The three brothers Yu Liang, Yu Yi, and Yu Bing all had great talents and made great contributions to the country.
After the Dun rebellion was put down and Tao Kan died, Jingzhou was still under the control of the Yu family. For a time, the daughter of the Yu family was honored as the queen, and she held the position within the family and controlled the vassal externally. It could be said that it was in the limelight for a while, even the Wang family and the Xie family
Added together, it’s far less than that.”
"However, the Yu family promoted Huan Wen out of old feelings and in order to balance the needs of the Taiyuan Wang family and the Langya Wang family at that time. It can be said that they were kind to him, and Huan Wen slowly developed in Jingzhou under the Yu family.
It grew stronger, and finally took control of Jingzhou because the three heroes of the Yu family died one after another. Ordinarily, he should repay his kindness to his old superiors and benefactors, but in order to be able to control Jingzhou forever, Huan Wen dealt a cruel blow to his former benefactors, the Yu family
, within a year or two, they found excuses to demote or kill all the Yu family's nephews and nephews in Jingzhou, and completely drove them out of Jingzhou, thereby taking over the powerful vassal in the upper reaches. Liu Yu, with the example of Huan Wen, the Xie family would not be careful
You?"
Liu Yu sighed: "I'm not Huan Wen, and I don't have such ambitions as him."
Murong Nan shook his head: "People will change, just like our ancestors, when they were herding sheep outside the Great Wall, how could they have imagined that one day they would rule the world and dominate the Central Plains? And you, once you become more and more sophisticated,
As you gain more and more power, you will gradually change from a tool in the hands of wealthy families like them to an enemy that threatens their status. At that time, it may be time for you to make a choice!"
Liu Yu sighed, shook his head and said: "I hope I will never make this choice. I am a person who repays kindness. If I really have to have a conflict with my benefactor, I would rather retire to Linquan and become a commoner."
Murong Nan smiled and said: "Then you don't want to make achievements and be famous in history? Common people can't do this."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "So now I have to realize my ideals and ambitions. Murong Nan, I won't talk about the future, I will only talk about the present. Do you think the Huan family or the Xie family can help me more now?"
Murong Nan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "What crazy talk are you talking about? You are now a member of the Xie family and a general of the Beifu Army. How can you possibly defect to the Huan family again? If you really do this, I am afraid that anyone will
Everyone will regard you as a traitor, even the Huan family will not accept you."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Of course you don't need to think about this issue now, I mean in the future. Or to be clearer, I'm talking about the Northern Expedition."
Murong Nan murmured: "Northern Expedition? What do you mean? Didn't we agree that if Qin is defeated, we, the Murong family and the Yao family, will raise the army in the north?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "You have raised troops in Longyou and Youyun, but the Central Plains, Hebei, Guanzhong, Qilu, and Bingzhou, the old places of the Jin Dynasty, still have to send troops to recover. You said, if we win this time, Xie Xianggong and
Will Marshal Xuan continue the Northern Expedition? Or will the Huan family in Jingzhou continue the Northern Expedition?"
Murong Nan looked at Liu Yu and said sternly: "I understand what you mean. Did Huan Xuan just tell you that the Xie family only wants to protect their family status and will not launch a large-scale Northern Expedition? In order to usurp power, the Huan family must
The Northern Expedition established unparalleled achievements, so you are tempted and want to have the opportunity to join the Huan family army after this battle and achieve great achievements in the Northern Expedition?"
