Yu Yue gritted her teeth, glanced at Tao Yuanming, and said solemnly: "To be honest, I don't have a very close friendship with Mr. Tao. If he hadn't rebuilt the Black Hand Universe, I wouldn't even have any friendship with Mr. Tao. , but it is because of this relationship that we both have a basic trust, and at this time when we are both in dire straits, I have no reason to refuse Tao Gong’s help.”
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Well, Mr. Yu, you are still friends with Marshal Liu and me, and you even followed us to fight. We have also given you enough titles and fame in return, so why don't you cooperate with us and bring you If you hand over this Yu family army to the command of the Beifu Army General and let your nephews and nephews follow you to fame, how about you yourself avenge your shame?"
Yu Yue shook his head: "This matter, as Tao Gong said before, is due to a matter of stance. Marshal Liu wants everyone to be equal, and your brother Mu wants to find someone from lower-class scholars or even poor people. If the officials come to replace us noble families, then the more I cooperate with you, the sooner the family will be destroyed. Brother Mu, I can't let the ancestors of the Yu family go, and I can't let the Yu family's business be with me. My hand is ruined, so I can only choose to cooperate with Mr. Tao this time. And I think more and more aristocratic families will follow this path."
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "As long as the aristocratic family is willing to let go of its previous arrogance and arrogance, and can make contributions commensurate with the resources it possesses, then if you can provide people, provide food, and form an army, you can naturally choose the people to lead the troops. It is a promise made by Marshal Liu and I, Mrs. Xie, Queen Wang and the family leaders headed by them. Mr. Yu, you also have the right to choose partners. Your Yu family can be your own general, or you can find others to cooperate. It is all your decision. However, I still want to remind you that the Luo Longsheng recommended by Tao Gong has changed his family many times before and left his old master. Even this time, he is leaving from Yongzhou Lu Governor who has served for many years. You really Do you trust such a person? Are you willing to entrust him with the army that your Yu family has finally built?"
Yu Yue's face changed slightly, and when he was about to speak, Tao Yuanming on the side laughed: "Brother Mu, you don't need to sow discord here. Yu Gong has already made up his mind, and you can't change his decision. As for Luo Longsheng, I made it clear before that he had no future under Lu Zong. Over the past ten years, Lu Zong’s own direct generals were promoted one by one, and some of them had the title of general. There are four or five people in Yongzhou. Even a young boy like Lu Gui is superior to the veteran Luo Longsheng. He brought more than 3,000 troops to Yongzhou back then. But now, he can command no more troops. But there are only a thousand people, is it Lu Zongzhi who has failed him, or he who has failed Lu Zongzhi?"
Liu Muzhi said coldly: "That's not what you said. Back then, Luo Longsheng was a traitor to Huan Xuan, who usurped the throne. After Huan Xuan's defeat, as a member of his party, it would be good if he could save his life, let alone continue to serve as a general. As an official, he retained the army. Lu Zong was willing to take him in and let him continue to lead the army. To him, it was no less than the kindness of his parents again. His army once numbered 3,000 people purely because Huan Xuan expanded the army in preparation for war in order to usurp the throne. As a result, after Huanxuan became the leader and the civil war subsided, even the Beifu Army was shrinking and disarmament, so why is it surprising that his troops have shrunk?"
"The most important thing is that after he came to Lu Zong's tent, he did not make any merits. Whether it was suppressing the rebellion or the Northern Expedition, his merits were insignificant. Since he had no merits, how could he be promoted or become a general? How could Lu become a general?
Gui Gui has at least fought a few battles, defeated demon thieves in the Battle of Jiangling, and contributed to the battle to eliminate Huan Qian and Gou Lin, but he was not promoted because of his father-son relationship with Lu Zongzhi."
Tao Yuanming sneered: "Yes, on the surface, it is indeed Lu Gui and several other Lu Zongzhi's trusted generals who have made meritorious service, but why was Luo Longsheng not given the opportunity to make meritorious service? Couldn't he lead the troops to win the battle? This time
This was still the case when intercepting and killing Xu Daofu. Originally, according to Luo Longsheng's advice, not all of them pounced on the pile of rocks on the beach, but some people should be left to guard them. Lu Gui refused and led his troops to pounce in order to gain credit. As a result, Luo Longsheng
He could only follow up, leaving no one on duty at the war horse above the beach, allowing Xu Daofu to take the road and escape. Afterwards, Lu Gui also blamed Luo Longsheng for not staying behind. Brother Mu, I want you to be Luo Longsheng.
, will you just have no idea, accept it calmly, and be the scapegoat again?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Mr. Tao, the imperial court has its own laws. Before making a deal, it will find out the situation and will not wrongly accuse people casually. If Luo Longsheng has any grievances, he can appeal to the imperial court, and I will help him find out.
According to the situation, to say the least, even if Luo Longsheng has made up his mind to leave Yongzhou, he still needs Lu Zongzhi’s approval, otherwise even Marshal Liu will not be able to forcefully seize Lu Zongzhi’s soldiers.”
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Now that I have discussed this with Luo Longsheng, I am absolutely sure that Lu Zongzhi will nod. Brother Mu does not have to worry about this. The Yu family is also the top family in the Jin Dynasty, although Liu Zhengxi
You can transfer Yu Gong's troops in the name of the commander-in-chief during the war, but as long as Yu Gong can afford a sufficient price, Lu Zong can let them go happily."
Liu Muzhi laughed: "Sure enough, in the end the Yu family will spend a large amount of money to satisfy Lu Zongzhi, so that he is willing to let him go. However, you seem to have forgotten one thing, that is, even if Lu Zongzhi is
I agree to release him, but in the end I have to give the nod of the imperial court. When Liu Zhengxi was here, he had full power to decide the military affairs west of Yuzhou. Now that he is unable to manage due to injury, for the time being, I, the imperial envoy who can do things easily, have to do it.
The decision has been made, you are so sure that I will also be willing?"
Yu Yue quickly waved his hand and said: "Brother Mu, please don't be arrogant. Everything is easy to talk about. Tao Gong's words just now were very offensive. Don't take it to heart. In fact, we..."
The smile on Liu Muzhi's face had completely dissipated at this moment, and his face was as dark as water. He looked directly at Tao Yuanming: "Mr. Tao, the decisions I make are all from the perspective of the country and the people. Now I doubt Luo Longsheng and his
You have an ulterior motive for your subordinates to control the Yu family's army. You want to use your close relatives to obtain the Yu family's troops for free, and you also use the Yu family's money and food to build an army. I'm afraid that once this is done, this will no longer be possible.
It is the Yu family army, not the army of the Jin Dynasty, but yours, Tao Gong. If Tao Gong has another affair with the Later Qin Dynasty, he will have an army to lead the way for the Hulu, and even a big state.
Well, if it were you in my place, would you agree?" ()
