Liu Daogui nodded: "In this case, Brother Ashou led his army to leave Qingzhou, and Yang Mu can hold it there for a while. Then after Brother Ashou defeats the demon thief, he can lead his army to stay in Jingzhou.
Isn’t this the best choice?”
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "This seems to us to be a good choice, but the noble family and Liu Xile will never accept it. They will say that in this important place in Jingzhou, Liu Yu first lets his younger brother guard it for a long time.
, and after his younger brother is unable to take care of himself due to injury, he wants to hand this place over to his best brother. Is his surname in this world Sima or Liu?"
Liu Daogui was silent for a while and sighed: "Indeed, it is difficult to refute this. However, if you just said that the eldest brother also wants to follow the path of the emperor, then it is logical to do so. There is no need to consider other people's rumors, so let's say,
For the time being, my eldest brother feels that he is not yet confident enough to take this path, so he can only proceed secretly?"
Liu Muzhi said sternly: "You guessed it right. Before the slave can completely control the Beifu Army, he can't expose his idea immediately. Now, including you, there are only four people who know about it.
The other one is Miaoyin. She has to secretly take the lead and contact the affairs of the aristocratic family, but this also takes time, because now all the aristocratic families do not believe that Jinu really wants to establish himself as emperor. But once they see through this
, they will also have many people to support the characteristic of passing down the emperor's position to his descendants, because supporting an emperor with one family name means supporting a family with one family name."
Liu Daogui gritted his teeth: "So, the biggest obstacle is Liu Xile? Does the eldest brother want to settle old and new scores with him and kill him?"
Liu Muzhi's eyes narrowed slightly: "If you want to follow the path of the emperor, you must not be soft-hearted towards your opponents. Once you are soft-hearted, your entire family and your supporters may be in ruins.
, Unless Liu Yi is willing to bow his head and be willing to be your eldest brother's ministers and subordinates, not only will he give up the idea of fighting with him, but he will also be willing for future generations to bow to the descendants of your Liu family, do you think he is willing?"
Liu Daogui shook his head: "The Liu Yi I know would rather die than submit to others. Even if he surrenders for a moment, it will be for future resistance, or he will be deprived of all his power and completely put under house arrest."
, either take his life, otherwise, as long as he has the ability to resist, as long as he has territory and an army, he will never obey others."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "You all have this knowledge, but it's a pity that your elder brother is still not ruthless. He said that Liu Yi also made great efforts in the battle of Jiankang this time, and even ambushed himself in order to protect his family and the country.
The secret guards and underground legions of the capital for many years have also been brought out. Before, it was only because of Liu Tingyun's instigation that the brothers turned against each other. Now everything has passed. According to your eldest brother's intention, you want to hand over Yuzhou and Jiangzhou to Liu Tingyun.
Yi, in exchange for Yanzhou, and Jingzhou is left to Liu Jingxuan. This can still form a two-on-one situation in the Beifu Army, overwhelming Liu Yi. On the other hand, after Meng Chang dies, he will also have to use the head of a high-ranking family.
To take over his position, this candidate may fall on Yu Yue. However, Yu Yue must first practice in local states and counties for several years. After he has the talent to govern, he can go to the DPRK to govern. Before that, the DPRK and Zhongren
Xu Xianzhi and I will be in charge of the affairs for the time being."
Liu Daogui frowned: "So, your idea is different from that of my elder brother. Do you want Liu Yi to occupy Xiangzhou and Guangzhou? You don't even want to give Jingzhou to Liu Yi?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "If we want to suppress Liu Yi in the future and want him to be forced to give up his territory and army at any time, we cannot give him big states like Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, and Yuzhou. In the short term, with Hunan,
We can recruit a large number of stragglers and remnants of the Tianshi Dao in Zhouzhou and Guangzhou, but if we use a little trick, we can let Liu Yi recruit as many people as he wants and send more people away, so that his army will never take shape!"
Liu Daogui suddenly understood and said with a smile: "I finally understand why you want Yu Yue to be the governor of Jingzhou. In this way, the Yu Yue family has money and food, and is in charge of Jingzhou. In the name of recruiting troops, they can go out
High-priced military pay was used to attract Liu Yi's subordinates. Although Liu Yi could fight, he now had an army but no military pay. Xiangzhou and Guangzhou were not very wealthy places, and they had to spend a lot of resources to appease them after the war.
People, if we want to rebuild, if we compete with the money we have, even ten Xile brothers can’t beat the Yu family.”
Liu Muzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, if our Beifu generals engage in this kind of poaching, it will hurt the harmony of the Jingba brothers, especially Brother A Shou. He has a grudge against Liu Xile. If he
Poaching Liu Yi's subordinates like this might lead to a civil war, but Yu Yue is someone Liu Yi can't offend directly. If he still wants to join the elite family, he can't fall out with the Yu family like this, so he is angry
You have to bear it."
"Yu Yue himself has no military talent, but he has plenty of money. If he can find someone who can help him recruit troops and buy horses, and specifically build an army, then Liu Yi's original plan to recruit troops in Xiangzhou and Guangzhou will not be successful.
After working on it for a long time, Liu Yi made a wedding dress for Yu Yue. Isn't this a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone?"
Liu Daogui laughed: "You are still thoughtful, so what I have to do is to ask for advice and let Yu Yue be the successor governor of Jingzhou? Just in this way, although I can understand your thoughts, but Tan Daoji,
Zhu Chaoshi, to Yanzhi and other young generals who have followed me for many years, they will not be willing to live under Yu Yue. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to convince them now."
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "I have thought about these things. Tan Daoji can be a Nanman captain here and take charge of the military in Jingzhou, while Tan Zhi can go to the six counties in Jiangbei to be the governor of Xuzhou. When he gets to Yanzhi, he can go to Liu Yi's place.
Bian serves as the internal historian of Wuling and is responsible for the future Western Expedition to Qiaoshu. There is no need to rush to arrange these now. After all, the demon thieves have not been eliminated yet. It is a bit too hasty to talk about the specific subdivision of the territory. Moreover, in the future world, the generals and veterans will
They will gradually retreat to the second line, and even your eldest brother and Liu Yi will not be able to take the lead in every battle like before. Those young major generals and marshals will grow into the core of the future."
At this point, Liu Muzhi curled up his lips: "And what is going on in parallel with the road to the emperor is that your Liu family has to inadvertently place their sons and nephews in important positions in various places. In addition, you have to work with these major generals.
The marshals began to marry and form relatives, turning the Beifu Army into the Liu family's private army. The key to this was two people, Xu Kuizhi and Liu Yizhen!" ()
