Liu Fan curled the corners of his mouth, lowered his voice, and said, "Huaiyu, but this time, he is going to kill Xu Daofu after all. This is our old opponent who has been fighting for twenty years. The hatred is deep and the sea is endless. Do you want to give up this opportunity to take revenge with your own hands?"
Meng Huaiyu's lips also curled gently, turned to look at Liu Fan, and wanted to say a word but said to the several messengers standing beside him: "You guys retreat first, Deputy Commander Liu and I have a military discussion."
Several messengers and guards retreated. Under the banner, only these two main generals were left within thirty steps. Meng Huaiyu sighed softly: "Brother Afan, tell me the truth. Ah Fan, throughout the way, you have been reminding me intentionally or unintentionally not to give Tianzi too many opportunities to make achievements. If possible, we should go on our own. What is this for? Are you dissatisfied with Brother Jinu's decision and arrangement?"
Liu Fan gritted his teeth and whispered: "Huaiyu, we have been brothers for many years. I followed my elder brother Xile and joined the Northern Mansion a little longer than you, but it was just a group of people. It was just a difference between two or three years. It basically belongs to the same generation. It can also be said to be the first generation of Northern Mansion veterans, right?"
Meng Huaiyu nodded: "Yes, I was too young during the Battle of Feishui. I was not as old as Cheng Ding, and I couldn't join the Beifu Army. That was a very regrettable thing. Brother Afan, you joined earlier than us. Later, when I returned home, I heard a lot of stories about the war you told about, and then I decided to become a brother of the Beifu for the rest of my life. After a flash, it was almost twenty years. How could I mention this matter suddenly?"
Liu Fan nodded and said, "We are not only the first batch of Beifu to enter, but also as locals from Jingkou and fellow villagers. This relationship is very close among our earliest group of Beifu veterans. In addition to being comrades-in-arms, they are also fellow villagers, knowing the roots and the military, and also helping each other in farming. This relationship is something that cannot be compared with the newcomers who later joined the Beifu army."
Meng Huaiyu smiled and said, "Brother Afan, you and Brother Xile are old Jingkou. My family went to Jingkou after fleeing from the north. If Brother Jinu hadn't helped him, he would have become Diao Kui's slaves. He would have died long ago. You took us in and distributed it to us, and taught us how to cultivate rice in the south. Brother Jinu, Brother Xile, and your Brother Afan have also guided and educated us about martial arts and some military methods. We have always kept these kindnesses in my heart. In my opinion, you and Brother Xile have always been my elder brother."
Liu Fan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xile was unfavorable and was dragged down by this bitch Liu Tingyun, so he was defeated by Sangluozhou. Jinu may have heard some nonsense about the dissident brotherhood. He said that Brother Xile wanted to compete with him for the position, and did not save Brother Wuji and Daogui, which led to their defeat and death. In the end, they were defeated. So Brother Jinu had some ideas about Brother Xile. This is also a big mistake for Brother Xile for many years. He has not been very convinced of Brother Jinu for many years. He has fought with him openly and secretly. In the end, he can only admit his bad luck."
Meng Huaiyu put away his smile and said seriously: "Brother Afan, don't say that. My elder brother was also bewitched by a traitor. He was confused for a while and had some different routes from Brother Jinu, and finally paid the price of his life for it. However, this did not affect Brother Jinu's use of us. Brother Xile lost his old subordinates in Yuzhou this time, but he also appointed underground troops in the capital. This time he defended Jiankang, he made great contributions. Brother Jinu is now in the capital for the need to stabilize the rear and rebuild the guards. He stayed in the capital with him to preside over the overall situation, so that we could lead troops to pursue, especially with you and me as the main generals, to completely wipe out the remnants of the two thief leaders, Xu Daofu and Lu Xun. Isn't this a chance to make great contributions to those of us who have followed Brother Xile for a long time?"
Liu Fan pointed coldly at Chen Tianzi in front of him and whispered: "Do you give us a chance or a chance? We will hold the title of chief general and deputy coach and watch the show behind us, and the scenery of Xu Daofu's last blow was left to Chen Tianzi. Isn't this biased?"
Meng Huaiyu's face changed slightly and she whispered: "Brother Afan should not say this casually. Brother Jinu just wanted Tian Zi to be the vanguard, but he didn't say that the attack was made. Besides, he just broke through the city gate. If he really went in to capture Xu Daofu, we would have to go in the end."
Liu Fan shook his head: "If Chen Tianzi broke the city and climbed first, he would definitely not stay at the city gate. He would definitely take advantage of the opportunity to enter the city and face Xu Daofu directly. Moreover, if Xu Daofu was still in the city, he would probably not hide in it. It is very likely that he would run out and fight to the end of the city. Huaiyu, we will attack the city and defend the city for a lifetime. Do you still understand this principle?"
Meng Huaiyu sighed softly: "Even so, it's nothing. Tian Zi was the first to rush to the top of the city when he attacked Guangzhou City. He is such a powerful general and is also a place that Jinu Brother values. On this point, we should not compete with our younger generations for the merit of climbing the city and killing generals, otherwise people would say that we are not generous enough, which is not conducive to the unity within the Northern Prefecture Army."
Liu Fan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Will Brother Ji Nu now neglect us brothers of the same generation and use these later generations to unite? The Zhu brothers can be said to be his disciples, and they are also well versed in military tactics. They will use them after use. Wang Zhene is considered a counselor around him, and it is reasonable to give him advice and promote him. However, the five tigers of the Shen family rebelled with the Taoist Tao of the Heavenly Master in their early years. It would be good to spare their lives. They also gave them the treatment of a young marshal. Chen Tianzi won the great achievements of climbing Guangzhou first. He also had to come over to grab the credit for killing Xu Daofu and attack Shixing. Do you think this is fair?"
Meng Huaiyu sighed and said, "I think this shouldn't be said like this. Brother Afan, you only saw that Chen Tianzi and the others were deceived by demon thieves and joined the thief army, but they didn't expect that their family had paid a heavy price for it. Almost all the families died and there was no land. They had already paid this price. Later, they abandoned the darkness and turned to light and redeem their sins. Over the past ten years, Chen Tianzi and Chen Linzi made countless military achievements. Of course, they are qualified to be on an equal footing with us. They can't deny them because of their origin. To put it this way, the Zhu brothers had also helped Huan Xuan to abuse them, and they also had to settle it? There are quite a few of them in our Northern Army who have done in the enemy army. Duan Hong is the latest general of the former Yan army to join us. Isn't he also a good brother now?"
