Liu Jingxuan was silent for a long time, then sighed: "As a son, I really want to fight with you now to protect my father's reputation, but as a person, a person who has experienced everything, I can only admit that you fucking
That's so right. Yes, my father, and even starting from my great-grandfather, they only considered themselves the owners of the Black Tiger Village, and never regarded themselves as the people of the Jin Dynasty. Even if they joined the army in Beifu, it was only for themselves.
And fighting, because once the Jin Dynasty is destroyed, it is impossible to save their mountain stronghold."
Liu Yu said seriously: "Ah Shou, this is not your fault. At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty's southern migration a hundred years ago, during the Yongjia Rebellion, they were also full of enthusiasm and abandoned their family to go south to follow the then Jin Dynasty emperor and senior officials of the family.
, but these powerful people at that time let them down, and their enthusiasm was in vain, so they retreated to Huaibei and became the masters of the cottage, free between the Jin Dynasty and the Hulu countries in the north.
He held an official position and refused to obey orders, becoming an independent force. Later, when he could no longer make a living, he could only accept the leadership and control of the noble families, accept their supplies and food, and become a non-staff army to guard the country's borders."
Liu Jingxuan sighed: "We actually hope to be the paradise described by Tao Yuanming. We hope more than anyone else to be sandwiched between two countries, always in a war zone, facing endless conflicts and disputes, and having to send our families away.
The feeling of being a hostage is really too uncomfortable. Therefore, in my father's mind, the only value of our existence lies in our combat ability and our army of refugee cottages. Once there is no army, then we have no use.
Value, I’m afraid if you want to become a slave like a banker’s tenant, you may not be willing to do it.”
Liu Yu nodded: "So I understand your father's thoughts. He just wants to control the army tightly. Once the army is gone, everything will be lost. For him, everything is superior to others and those who hold power
People, as well as the countries represented by these powers, are not trustworthy. The country is only useful to him when it needs to replenish food and fodder, expand the army, and increase the number of auxiliary civilians. Otherwise, neither the country nor the people of the world have anything to do with it.
He has nothing to do with the people who have left the protection of the noble family. In his eyes, they are cattle and sheep that he can plunder at will. He can rape and plunder at will, in order to satisfy the bestiality of his strong men and bribe these tigers and wolves.
heart to serve him better.”
Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth: "It is true. My father has no sympathy or mercy for the people. In his opinion, these are just people who provide him with food and clothing. He serves the country and takes orders from those high-ranking families."
He gave the order, and once the people fell to the demon thieves or Hulu, he would have the legal reason to loot and kill these people. It was very difficult to fight the Huru in the north, but in the land of Wu, these people who had not practiced fighting for a long time
Ordinary dealers are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, they can be bullied at will. I didn't care about these things before, but under your influence, I know that the duty of a soldier is to protect the country and protect the people.
, my original ideas were greatly impacted, and my father and I had public quarrels more than once. It was the collision between your ideas and his."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Then what did your father say? Wasn't he touched at all? Wouldn't he change it out of injustice and shame?"
Liu Jingxuan shook his head and said: "No, my father's statement is completely opposite to yours. He said that the Northern Expedition has failed. I am afraid that the Jin Dynasty will not send troops to regain the lost territory decades ago. Then the future of us people is
Just like after the Battle of Wuqiaoze, he was disbanded and went home, and even Black Tiger Village might not be able to return. This time, he relied on the official rank given by Wang Gong to have the opportunity to reorganize the Beifu Army. Now
He killed Wang Gong and completely fell over to Sima Yuanxian, and this kid wanted to seize his army."
"In the Beifu Army now, there are no longer as many members of his old Black Tiger Village or Jingkou Liangjiazi as before. They are no longer the loyal subordinates of the past. Even loyal subordinates like you have lost their lives due to various reasons.
The reason left him, and the troops he led were mostly stragglers, horse bandits and thieves lured by benefits. As long as these people get benefits, they will leave him and betray him, just like he betrayed Wang Gong."
"So, if he wants to continue to survive and maintain his army, he can only do two things. One is to raise the bandits to respect themselves. Sun En cannot be eliminated at once. He must keep these demon thieves and continue to fight in Wu.
In battle, it is necessary not only to ensure the ability to eliminate the demon thieves at any time, but also to ensure that the demon thieves have a certain scale and pose a sufficient threat. Only in this way can the court be ensured that Sima Yuanxian does not dare to seize the army at this time, and also
We are constantly supplying military supplies according to his requirements."
Liu Yu sneered and said: "You are a good bandit who respects himself. No wonder he was so slow when he attacked Sun En. He divided his troops to search the countryside all day long without thinking of annihilating the bandit in one fell swoop. I originally thought he was using Xie Yan's defeat.
In order to teach you a lesson, I didn’t dare to rush forward again, but now I know that it turned out that he didn’t want to destroy the demon thief at all!”
Liu Jingxuan sighed: "Yes, but what he said does make sense. After destroying the demon thieves, Sima Yuanxian will directly deprive his army of his troops as his subordinates, and he has no reason to refuse, unless it is a rebellion.
, the generals, including you and Xi Le, will never follow."
Liu Yu nodded: "I will indeed not follow, because the Beifu Army belongs to the imperial court in name only. It is the army of the country, not your father's private army. I am not your father's adopted son or a general. It is just because of the imperial court."
Liangjiazi who enlisted in the army due to the conscription order, Jingkou people, even if your father wants to return to Black Tiger Village, I can't go with him."
Liu Jingxuan shook his head helplessly: "This is why I know you are right, but I can't go with you. Jinu, I have my own reasons. Even if he is unreasonable and unpopular, he is still my father, and I am my father."
His son, this is an unchangeable fact. When I have to choose between the two, I can only go with him."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Yes, you must do this. Filial piety is the most important thing in the world, even before loyalty. It is not easy for you to argue with reason and persuade your father to do many things. In this way,
Lobbing troops, using various excuses to collaborate with the enemy, and extorting money from the people in Wudi who had already experienced war and were in very difficult circumstances, was this done deliberately by your father in order to please these subordinates and stimulate their desire to fight?"
