Chapter 585: Zu Tis great ambition is hard to repay
Two hours later, Beifu Military Camp, Tiger Troops, and Arrow Tower.
Liu Yu was lying on the guardrail of the archery tower, with the light shining in his eyes. He looked at Diao Qiu's head hanging high at the camp gate, and between the yellow eyebrows of the head, his expression was full of fear.
It shows how scared he was before he died.
On top of the arrow tower, apart from Liu Yu, there was only one person who was half wider than him. Liu Muzhi, who was dressed as a scholar, frowned, looked at Diao Qiu's head, and sighed softly: "
Jinu, impulsiveness is the devil. If you kill Diao Qiu in a hurry, I'm afraid it will cause you a lot of trouble in the future."
Liu Yu did not look back, with a calm expression: "I didn't kill him just for quick pleasure. At that time, this guy was already talking about the mica car, and falsely accused our Beifu Army of treason. If we don't act decisively and deal with it decisively, I'm afraid the trouble will be even worse.
big."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "He is a pawn used by Diao Kui to provoke and test. He deliberately used this guy who has a big grudge against you to patrol, just to get some leverage, not only against you, but also against Xie
Home, can’t you see this?”
Liu Yu straightened up and stretched: "If he really knew about the mica car, he wouldn't have come. He would report it directly, and then ask the emperor to send someone to see it in person. Only in this way can he
I restrained the Xie family in one fell swoop. I thought it was true that Diao Qiu came to pick fights and cause trouble, but he didn't expect to have this opportunity, so he got excited and forgot about himself, which gave me a chance to make amends."
Liu Muzhi frowned: "The remedy is to kill him? Instead, the matter has been made public, and the emperor will hear about it sooner or later. This time Diao Kui comes to question the crime, but to no avail. When he returns, it is likely that Wang Guobao and even King Kuaiji will report it.
Emperor, investigate this matter thoroughly."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "At that time, there was no evidence. Diao Qiu was killed by me with a knife, and I also asked Xiang Jing and the others to burn the mica car. Even if someone came to investigate thoroughly, there was no evidence. On the contrary, Diao Qiu was
The Xianbei man with yellow eyebrows and yellow beard has entered our military camp and is here to provoke. For this reason, I have no problem killing him. Don't worry, fat man, our people here have already compiled their words. There is no need to check again.
Nothing can be found."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "What I'm worried about is not what happened this time, but whether you realize that your move is tantamount to triggering an early internal fight between the Xie family and the royal family. Although this is because of
Internal strife caused by the struggle for power will come sooner or later, but I still hope that the sooner it comes, the better, especially at this critical moment of the Northern Expedition, it is best for us not to cause chaos."
Liu Yu raised his brows: "This time it's not us who took the initiative to cause trouble, but they came knocking on our door. If we don't fight back, it will make people take advantage of them. To say the least, we didn't find the mica car this time.
There is evidence, but even if a guy like Diao Qiu comes to provoke us, and we have no way to counterattack, we are also showing weakness to the enemy. Of course, the overall situation of the Northern Expedition must be discussed, but at this time we also need to deal with those who want to make small moves and cause trouble behind.
I give you a clear warning, that is, no one can cause trouble at this time and ruin this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Two lumps of fat jumped on Liu Muzhi's fat face: "Do you think the Northern Expedition will definitely succeed without the support of aristocratic families?"
Liu Yu nodded seriously: "It's not that they have to do it. I've been thinking about this issue. The Huan family in Jingzhou doesn't have the support of any high-ranking family, but because they occupy Jingzhou, the court can't intervene. They can use Jingzhou to
The manpower, material resources, and financial resources of this large state can independently become a large vassal town. From the top, it can send troops to the Northern Expedition, and from the bottom, it can go down the river to control Jiankang. It can be seen that to achieve hegemony, it does not necessarily require the resources of Wu."
"Although the Beifu Army is a special army formed in a special period, after all, the Xie family cannot monopolize the resources of a large state like the Huan family. They still have to rely on the court's money, food and taxes. This money still has to come from the aristocratic families in Wu.
The rich man comes from the manor he runs."
Liu Yuqi said: "But the Xie family occupies a lot of estates in Wu. With their family's strength, they can support these tens of thousands of Beifu troops."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "It's not that simple. Although the Xie family's wealth is the best in the world, and Wu's manor and fields account for more than 20%, it seems that it can support the food and salary of a hundred thousand troops for several years. But you have to know,
The Xie family is not monolithic. All their nephews and nephews may not have the same thoughts as Xian Gong, Xuan Shuai and the others. I am afraid that most of them have the same idea as the high-ranking families in Jiankang City. As long as everything is safe, it will be fine. If Qin
When the national army comes, it goes without saying that in order to protect the family business, they can only donate money to help the army, because the destruction of the country will mean the death of the family. But if they are forging ahead for the Northern Expedition, I am afraid they will not have this enthusiasm. After all, the Northern Expedition is not a big deal for them.
benefit."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Why is there no benefit? The Northern Expedition can regain the lost land, and then these fields, people, and population can be distributed to them. Why is there no benefit?"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "First of all, you may not be able to succeed in the Northern Expedition. Secondly, even if you have to conquer the land temporarily, these aristocratic families will not be willing to move there. The customs of the north and the south are very different. The land in the north,
In their view, the population is like an enemy country. Even if they occupy it for a while, they don't know when they will lose it. The Jin Dynasty made several northern expeditions and occupied large areas of land, but later lost them. These aristocratic families have been deceived several times.
, will there still be much enthusiasm?”
Liu Yu laughed and said, "So that's what you're talking about. It doesn't matter. In the past, these places were gained and lost again because the army had to retreat after occupying them. Once there was no army to guard them, they would be lost if the Hulu counterattacked.
. It won’t be like this this time. Most of the Beifu Army itself is from the north. The northern states and counties are their hometown, just like Bottle, Rabbit and others. Even our ancestors moved from the north. At least I Liu
Yu, if the Northern Expedition is successful, he will not come back and is willing to station there forever. If the Beifu Army is there, how can these places be lost?"
Liu Muzhi looked into Liu Yu's eyes for a long time, and then sighed: "Jinnu, do you remember what happened to our ancestor Tizu in Yuzhou? He only led 3,000 servants in the Northern Expedition, and he had almost no demands.
With only a grain of rice and a penny from the imperial court, relying on the determination to regain the lost land, we conquered half of the northern country, recovered most of the Central Plains and Qilu, drank the Yellow River, and the situation was great. But what was the result?"
"He became the most feared force in the imperial court, even far more powerful than the Hulu. He was finally recalled and died with hatred. You must know that in the eyes of many high-ranking officials, the Hulu only wanted to rob my children, money, and nothing more.
Generals who do not harm the fundamentals but support their troops with self-respect are the number one threat to the Sima clan! Can't you see this?"
