Chapter 5255: Public and private are clearly slaves
Liu Yu laughed: "I see, I almost overlooked this point, which is the special nature of your legion. Starting from your great-grandfather's generation to your father's generation, they are actually the leaders of the Huaibei cottage alliance.
He called on people from all villages to gather together and became the earliest Beifu Army. However, it was the first time that the Xie family assembled this force in the form of an official army, right?"
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "In the battle of Wuqiaoze, most of the village leaders, such as Tian Luo, Zhuge Kan and other old village leaders, my father's contemporaries and even his uncles died in the battle, but Gao Su, He
Heng and others left their village before and after the Battle of Feishui, and settled in Jiankang, becoming nobles and rich men in the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, after the Battle of Wuqiaoze, when my father returned to Huaibei,
Most of the previous cottages have declined or even been abandoned. Probably, this is the result that the imperial court wanted. Once the threat from the north is lifted, there is no need to retain these cottages in Huaibei, otherwise Su Jun and Zu Yue will
The chaos may happen again."
Liu Yu sneered and said: "Arrogant, if Qingzhou is captured and the Huaibei village becomes the inland, maybe it can be done like this, but the Battle of Feishui only caused the collapse of the former Qin, and soon the land of Qingzhou fell into the hands of the Later Yan.
, re-established a new alien empire in Guandong, how dare you abandon the copycat villages of Qingzhou and Huaibei?"
Liu Jingxuan sighed: "At that time, Qingzhou briefly returned to the rule of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but soon local powerful families such as the Pilu family became independent. They did not dare to have the idea of Huaibei village, and just wanted to stay in Qingzhou and become a local emperor.
, so Huaibei has been at peace for a few years. However, after the Battle of Feishui, the Central Plains and Guandong were in chaos. There were constant battles. There were stragglers and gangs of thieves everywhere. Some forces even occupied the previously abandoned Huaibei cottages. You all thought I
Dad was ordered by Wang Gong to recruit a large number of these stragglers. In fact, before Wang Gong took office, he so-called disbanded his troops and returned to the countryside. After returning to the village, he has been dealing with these new village owners and gangs."
Liu Yu nodded: "I understand, those strongholds are there. If your father doesn't occupy them, the outsiders will occupy them. So, your father and you are not actually disbanding and returning to the fields, resigning and returning to their hometowns, but investing in
A new battle is about subduing those stragglers who have become kings in troubled times."
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "Yes, the later generals of the Beifu Army like Hu Haizong and Zhu Linxiu were actually people from all walks of life in the war. Some were the defeated troops of the Qin Army before, and some left their hometowns after being attacked by the defeated troops of various quarters.
Some of the new refugees were simply soldiers of various barbarians. For example, some troops from the Zhai tribe occupied several cottages. When my father returned to the cottages, the number of troops on hand was also seriously reduced due to the Battle of Wuqiaoze.
However, most of the people led by Liangjiazi from Jingkou have returned to their hometowns, and only more than 200 people still follow him. In addition, there are more than a thousand people left behind in the village. Such a force, even among the villages in Huaibei, can be considered
They are not the most powerful, especially some of the Hulu village leaders, who have battle-hardened veterans and even cavalry on their hands."
Liu Yu sneered and said: "These barbarian troops are okay at beating ordinary people and protecting local strongmen in Jiwu. How can they be the opponents of our battle-hardened Beifu veterans and those strong men in the Huaibei cottage? Your father
If you beat them, there will still be no problem."
Liu Jingxuan smiled slightly: "There is no problem in winning, but we are short of manpower. These barbarians have war horses. If they can't be beaten, they can run away, and then attack and plunder villages all over Huaibei. If my father cannot protect these villages and cottages,
Then his prestige would be damaged, and it would be difficult to secure his position as the head of the Huaibei Shanzhai Alliance. So he sent envoys to contact the new Han village owners and expressed his willingness to accept them as part of the new Huaibei Shanzhai Alliance.
They protect their rights and interests just like the old village masters did before, and do not interfere with or interfere with the affairs of their village. They are also allowed to keep the spoils they obtained after the battle, and they can resettle the civilians and civilians who were captured in the name of rescue but are actually captives.
Prisoners of the barbarians."
Liu Yu sighed: "I told you what happened. After returning to Jiangnan, the military discipline of your father's New Taipei Army became like this. It turned out that they recruited a group of bandits and robbers."
Liu Jingxuan shook his head: "In troubled times, there is no order. Only by having strong power can you survive. And when you are surviving, you will think of using force to rob others. This is the so-called force is better than hard work. Once you become a strongman,
With addiction, it will never be possible to return to the days of being a good family and an ordinary farmer. This is why after my father and I left the army, we did not want to settle down in Jingkou or even the capital, but would rather go back to Huaibei. Because fighting is
Our way of survival, but once such a battle is used against our own people instead of against the enemy, it will be a very terrifying force. Therefore, we can only go to Huaibei. If Qingzhou is really stable
When we come down, we also have to go to the edge of the Yellow River, where it meets the Hulu in Hebei Province, and build another Wubao."
Liu Yu nodded, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "So, you later took over and inherited your father's old department. After your father was killed by Huan Xuan, you fled to Nanyan. How did you get along with these people?"
Who was contacted by the old department?"
Liu Jingxuan said calmly: "Thanks to Huan Xuan for this. After he entered Jiankang, the generals of the Chu army who went to Beijing with him still regarded the Beifu army as the enemy. On the one hand, they purged and killed other old generals of the Beifu army. Mainly
It was Gao Su and Sun Wuzhong who took your veteran generals from Jingkou's good families, and then retained the middle and lower-level officers of the Beifu Army, preparing to let you, Xi Le, and Wuji lead the troops. He thought that he had eliminated the veteran generals and promoted you.
You will be grateful to him and manage the Beifu Army well for him."
Liu Yu said coldly: "If Huan Xuan does not usurp the throne, but wholeheartedly serves the country and the people, and allows us to lead the troops to the northern expedition to the Huru, then I will definitely have no choice but to serve him. After all, we have to defeat a man who is loyal to the country.
As a powerful minister, I cannot defeat a commander who is sincere in the Northern Expedition. Even if I want to avenge your father, Uncle Zhong and the others, I will have to wait until the Northern Expedition is over before I personally assassinate Huan Xuan."
Liu Jingxuan smiled and said: "Jinu, you are a person who can distinguish between grievances and public affairs. I admire you, but I can't do it. After all, it is the enemy who killed my father. Even if I defect to the enemy country, it is just to save my life temporarily.
The reason why Huanxuan Revenge, Nanyan Murongde, and Heipao were willing to take me in was because they wanted me to recruit other villages in Huaibei to be their pioneers in the invasion of Jin Dynasty." (End of this chapter)
