Heipao laughed: "I see. I haven't been back to Jiankang and Wu for a long time. I don't know the local situation very well. Since you said it like this, it means that Yu Yue has sold off his entire family in Jiangnan Wu.
Most of his family property was used to transform into military supplies and equipment, and was used to form his current Jiangzhou Army?"
Doupeng nodded and said: "Yes, Yu Yue is actually a big gamble. Originally, if Liu Yi's Western Expedition failed, he only lost the baggage and food, and even more than 3,000 villagers fled and disappeared.
Although the loss was huge, it was not a serious injury. However, in Jiangzhou, people directly took away the legion, and even his bankers and tenants betrayed him. This kind of shame and humiliation made him unable to look back, otherwise
Even if he returns to the south of the Yangtze River alone, he will become a waste in the eyes of other families. Not only will he lose his official position, but also his power. Then Xie Hun, Xi Sengshi and other leaders of other families will organize the Yu family's various illegal activities over the years.
If we take action, we can either punish him publicly or transfer the land title privately, either way, the Yu family can be completely destroyed."
The black robe curled up his lips: "After San Yu's death, Huan Wen almost killed all the Yu clan in Jingzhou. The Yu family, which once dominated the world, almost collapsed, but decades later, Yu Kai and Yu Yue
These people have become the top aristocratic families again. Could it be that after Yu Yue captured the army once, there will be no chance of recovery?"
Doupeng shook his head: "The reason why the Yu family could get back on its feet in the past was because of the support and help from the Xie family and the Wang family. For the same need to fight against Huan Wen, they united and played the Yu family's tragedy card against the Yu family.
This is their righteous name to fight against this kind of warrior warlord group. The Yu family can return to the ranks of first-class families because of this support. Mainly in terms of government power, and power can bring
A series of financial benefits.”
Heipao laughed: "But now Xie Hun, Xi Sengshi and others don't have the same mind and vision as Xie An, Wang Tanzhi and others back then. What they want to do is add insult to injury and take advantage of Yu Yue's misfortune to seize the Yu family's property.
, snatch the power and official positions of the Yu family, and distribute them to his nephews to strengthen the family."
Doupeng nodded: "Yes, especially Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi are very dissatisfied with the fact that Black Hand Qiankun, who originally represented the interests of the family, did not call them after the reorganization, but instead called Yu Yue as the representative of the family.
, so this time, I am afraid that if they want to cooperate with Liu Yi again, they will have to offer this condition. They will cut off the foundation of the Yu family in Wu, and the legions and power of the Yu family in Jiangzhou will also have to be dealt with by Liu Yi.
To avoid possible revenge from Yu Yue later."
The black-robed man sighed: "It does sound like this. Then Yu Yue is hopeless? I'm a little unwilling. After all, I invested so much in him and finally occupied a big state. Originally, I
I want Yu Yue to take over He Wuji's former legion and territory, and in the future, under my control, become a powerful foreign vassal, and I can also use Yu Yue's introduction to unite with the Jiankang family in Jiangnan, and work together to deal with it together
Liu Yu, after all, Liu Yu has to rely on Mrs. Xie and Wang Miaoyin to contact and stabilize the high-ranking families, but most families are probably unwilling."
Doupeng curled up his lips: "In the future, we should let these awakened aristocratic families know that Liu Yu's fundamental purpose is to eliminate them. There will be no compromise. Maybe they will be forced to unite to resist Liu Yu, but now, because there is
The existence of Mrs. Xie and Wang Miaoyin, and Liu Yu also fights against each other against the high-ranking families, and will not easily offend the entire high-ranking family. This kind of boiling frog in warm water, two steps forward, one step back strategy is very confusing.
, thinking that the family that has only slightly lost some rights and interests, and may even gain more benefits under the rules formulated by Liu Yu, will side with Liu Yu. After all, their current thinking is still the kind of powerful and powerful people who helped before.
, the kind who can achieve great success, thinks that with the help of people close to Liu Yu such as Queen Wang and Mrs.
Heipao gritted his teeth: "It's a pity. If there is a new organization like Black Hand Qiankun, maybe we can wake up and go against Liu Yu, but now it seems that it will be difficult."
Doupeng's eyes narrowed slightly: "So, the best way is to let Liu Yi go eat Yu Yue first and get the land of Jiangzhou or even Jingzhou. Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi can help speak in the court. This goal is not
It will definitely not be achieved. If Liu Yu wants to disarm and weaken the generals' legions, he can only achieve the goal of retaining the number of troops under his command by occupying more territory. Even Meng Huaiyu, an old subordinate who has cooperated with Liu Yi for many years, also
Get Liu Yi here as much as possible. You can find a way to let Liu Yi become the governor of Jingzhou and give up Jiangzhou to Meng Huaiyu. No one wants to have his subordinates be laid off on a large scale. This is what Liu Yi is doing in the Beifu Army.
Internally, the only good news for Liu Yu's counterattack."
The black robe softly said "Oh": "Do you mean that by sacrificing Yu Yue, Liu Yi's strength will increase and a force will once again be formed in the army to confront Liu Yu?"
Doupeng nodded: "Yes, Liu Yi deliberately stayed behind during this battle against Tianshi Dao to prevent him from making contributions, but people like Liu Fan, Liu Cui, Zhuge Changmin, including Meng Huaiyu
, he was the one who led troops into battle and made meritorious deeds. More than ten other Liu Yi's generals also participated in the battle. In the past, Tan Daoji and Zhu Chaoshi also passed by Liu Yi for a period of time. If Liu Yi had a way to retain their subordinates, they might not
Will completely fall to Liu Yu. These are all backhands that can be used, but the premise is that Liu Yi wants to regain his former power and still become the big brother-level figure in the army who can confront Liu Yu head-on, instead of falling to
A legion general on the same level as the marshals."
The black robe smiled and said: "But Liu Yi has not made any meritorious service, so what reputation does he have to be one of the three giants in the past?"
Doupeng smiled slightly: "Whether he has made meritorious service or not is just a procedural title. It is true that Liu Yi did not go on the Western Expedition, but he made meritorious service in the Jiankang Defense War, and his subordinates also made meritorious service in the Western Expedition.
Quite a few, when Liu Yi conquered Huanxuan in the west, didn't Liu Yu stay in Jiankang and didn't move? Is it because of this that Liu Yu was replaced by Liu Yi? So, it doesn't matter whether he sits in the rear or leads the army personally.
The only criterion for determining the distribution of power after the war." (End of this chapter)
