A trace of anger flashed in Xie Hui's eyes, he turned to smile, shook his head and said: "Mr. Tao, your ability to satirize and provoke people is truly well-deserved. However, this kind of verbal provocation can still be used against a martial artist.
, for those of us who are descendants of aristocratic families, we have been trained in various techniques of nourishing energy and hiding clumsiness since childhood, but it is not that useful. If I were you, now I have to worry about what will happen to me after this battle is over. Oh, you now
By pretending to be cool and singing loudly while drinking, I'm afraid you are just trying to cover up the fear deep in your heart."
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "I have been singing my sister-in-law, mourning my unfortunate sister, and even bursting into tears. Do you think this is hiding my fear?"
Xie Hui said coldly: "To be precise, I think you want to spread fear. This is what you are good at. On the surface, you are mourning your sister, but in fact, you want us to feel the same as you."
, I have the worry and sadness of losing my loved ones in this war. Then I have the fear of war, which dampens my will to fight and loses my fighting spirit."
Tao Yuanming sighed: "Thank you, Xuanming. You are young, but your ability to accuse people of crimes in this kind of defense is really amazing. I just want to pay tribute to my deceased sister since childhood. You actually
You can think of charges that shake the morale of the army. If Liu Yi takes this position, he may really want to listen to you and kill me."
Xie Hui sneered: "Of course he will kill you, and he will also shut your mouth when you expose those shady transactions with him. Moreover, your accomplice Liu Tingyun was also introduced to you by you.
Liu Yi, this temptress caused so much misery to Liu Fujun. He almost lost his life and ruined many years of military and foundation. It would be strange if he doesn't seek revenge from you to settle the score. Mr. Tao, I advise you not to
You messed with us. Now that you are here in Meng Pushe, we are actually protecting you. If we really want to hand you over to Liu Fujun, can you still drink and sing?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Liu Yi will not kill me. There is no charge of killing me at this time. Those private transactions, the secrets of the mafia, and the affairs of Hou Qin cannot be made public on the table. What do you think now?
Killing me will make people think that killing celebrities will cut off the way for scholars from all over the world to come to surrender. Even Tianshi Dao knows that if you want to seize the world, you cannot harm the scholars casually, so you let Mrs. Xie go. And
, if you want to negotiate peace with Tianshi Dao later, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find a more suitable candidate than me.”
Xie Hui's expression changed, but Meng Chang on the other side said: "Why, you still think we will negotiate with the demon thieves? Mr. Tao, are you hallucinating from drinking too much?"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Meng Gong, you are actually the person who understands this best. There is no need to deny this in front of your disciples. In the eyes of outsiders, Tianshi Tao and the Jin family are incompatible, but everyone in the know knows that.
This is just a power struggle, if power can be shared, then everything can be discussed."
Meng Chang shook his head: "We have already forged such a bloody feud, how can we share power? Even if we agree, how can Marshal Liu agree? It is impossible to let go of He Wuji's hatred."
Tao Yuanming laughed: "Then please answer me a question, Mr. Meng. During the Sun En Rebellion, Liu Yu also killed so many comrades and subordinates. The hatred of so many people combined was more than that of He Wuji."
Okay, but why did Liu Yu meet Lu Xun and Xu Daofu face to face in the end and finally let them go to sea? Wasn't Liu Yu forced by the situation to put down the blood feud of his companions and let them go?
Have you learned the way of the Heavenly Master?"
Meng Chang's eyes sparkled and he did not directly refute.
Tao Yuanming looked at Xie Hui and continued: "A few years later, the Celestial Master Taoists suddenly landed in Guangzhou. While Liu Yu was fighting Huan Xuan, they captured Guangzhou and captured Wu Yinzhi, the Guangzhou governor appointed by Huan Xuan.
Taking control of Lingnan, it is said that this approach broke their agreement with Liu Yu not to return to the central part of the Jin Dynasty. Liu Yu should definitely send Liu Yi's army that captured Jingzhou to pursue the victory and eliminate the Tianshi Dao forces in Guangzhou.
, but he did not do this. Instead, he appointed Lu Xun as the governor of Guangzhou and Xu Daofu as the prime minister of Shixing, which was equivalent to acknowledging that they were officials of the Jin Dynasty and pardoning their previous crimes."
Xie Hui interjected: "That was just a stop-gap measure. At that time, the country had been in war for many years and had experienced Huan Xuan's rebellion. There were many wastes waiting to be revitalized. Lingnan was a remote place, and the expedition would take up a lot of national resources, even in Jingzhou.
It was dilapidated and in need of recuperation. Marshal Liu had no choice but to temporarily reconcile with the demon thief in Lingnan, but in fact, from the fact that he gave the demon thief a lifeline, we know that this was only temporary."
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Yes, Marshal Liu has a powerful army that can attack Nanyan, but he still has not quelled the demon thieves occupying Lingnan, nor has he openly separatized Qiao Shu and killed the entire Mao family of loyal generals.
It's the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, Xie Xuanming, can you explain to me what this means?"
Xie Hui's forehead began to sweat. As a young man who was not exposed to top-level strategic planning, it was indeed a bit difficult for him to answer these questions. Meng Chang sighed softly and said to Tao Yuanming: "Yuanming, you
To embarrass a younger generation like this would be to defeat the enemy. These military affairs are beyond the reach of his age."
Tao Yuanming said coldly: "Since you don't know anything about the military and state affairs, then go back and practice hard, and learn more from your aunt and cousin. The Xie family really has no heirs. When Queen Wang was at his age,
Not only do you have a thorough understanding of these military matters, you can even sacrifice your own lifelong happiness to contribute to your family and country."
Xie Hui couldn't bear it anymore. His face turned red and he said sternly: "Tao Qian, you are not allowed to talk about our Xie family like this. What qualifications do you have..."
Meng Chang waved his hand gently to stop Xie Hui's outburst: "Xuan Ming, please step aside first. I am here. After I have taken care of these official matters, you can come back to pick them up in an hour. Within this hour
, don’t let anyone disturb me, just handle ordinary matters by yourself.”
Xie Hui was still aggrieved and seemed to want to speak, but Meng Chang's eyes swept over him like cold electricity. He could only bow helplessly and put a bunch of official documents beside him on Meng Chang's desk.
Without even looking at Tao Yuanming, he walked away quickly. Judging from his actions, even if he stayed here with Tao Yuanming for one more second, he was not willing to. As a child of a well-educated family, he felt disgust for a person.
