Chapter 643 Liu Yis ambition to submit a certificate of fame
A trace of pride flashed across Liu Yi's face, he saluted Xie Xuan, and followed Wang Chen to the outside of the circle, while He Wuji led the other Beifu brothers and greeted Liu Yu with a smile.
Waiting for others, the tense atmosphere in the field just now dissipated invisible, and Sun Wuzhong and others also began to greet the Beifu troops who had been waiting in full formation just now to withdraw their troops and leave. Those who were so nervous just now that they could not speak, even thought about seizing the opportunity.
The young ladies from various aristocratic families who had fled finally felt relieved and began to return to their seats.
Liu Yi followed Wang Chen to a secluded place outside the circle. The Diao brothers and others stood far away. Wang Chen did not even look at them. He looked at Liu Yi with a gloomy expression and said in a deep voice.
Said: "Liu Yi, you are so brave. You dare to make a decision on my behalf. Who instigated you to do this?"
Liu Yi smiled slightly and shook his head: "I, Liu Yi, am Liu Yi. No one can instruct me. The reason why I did that is because I think this is the best solution. Wang Changshi, your family is not
We lack this little money, but if today's matter is investigated further or becomes a big problem, it will be far from being settled by this little money."
Wang Chen sneered and said, "It's interesting. Even the Diao brothers and the Yu brothers, who are known to the world as my subordinates, didn't do this. You, Liu Yi, are from the Beifu Army and Xie Xuan. Even
You can be said to be my enemy's subordinates, why do you want to treat me well?"
Liu Yi smiled and shook his head: "Wang Changshi, although I joined the Beifu Army, I am not from the Xie family. Liu Yu is, and I, Liu Yi, just responded to the country's call and joined the army to serve the country. No.
Sell it to the Xie family."
Wang Chen's heart moved and he shook his head: "I don't believe it. You did a good job in the Beifu Army. You killed the enemy commander and received a big reward. In time, your achievements will not be lower than Liu Laozhi's. I don't think so.
Tell me why you left the Xie family and joined us."
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "But the Xie family didn't marry any of their daughters to me. Everyone in the Beifu Army knows that Marshal Xuan and Mr. Xian Gong are interested in Liu Yu. No matter how great my achievements are, they can't compare to him."
Besides, the power of the Xie family cannot be maintained forever, so there is no need for me to tie my future to the Xie family."
Wang Chen frowned: "But last time my brother and the King of Kuaiji took the initiative to host a banquet for you, you didn't agree to come to our place. How come we suffered a big loss today and you want to change your mind?"
Liu Yi smiled and shook his head: "That day, you mainly invited veterans like Gao Su and He Heng. I am just a small character who is at the bottom of the list. In this case, you probably don't think much of me.
.As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses his master to serve. If I don’t let you know my abilities first, I’m afraid you won’t give me what I want.”
A cold light flashed in Wang Chen's eyes: "Liu Yi, you are indeed talented, but who would dare to use a talented but unloyal person like you? You can betray the Xie family today, but you won't betray us tomorrow?"
Liu Yi's expression was as calm as ever. He looked at Wang Chen and said calmly: "Wang Changshi, don't talk about betrayal easily. Be loyal. People are selfish and rational animals. Everything they do is to gain more for themselves.
Benefits. If we talk about betrayal, then my dear brother is the son-in-law of Xie Xianggong. In order to favor your family, Xie Xianggong did not hesitate to let the family daughters divorce the Wang Xun brothers. Didn't you also repay the Xie family in this way? "
Wang Chen said coldly: "The matter between us is between aristocratic families. Back then, the Xie family was just a subordinate of our ancestors of the Wang family. Even if they gained power for a while, they did not dare to say they were above the Wang family of Taiyuan. And the Xie family
If we want to monopolize power and block my brother's promotion path, we naturally can't just sit back and wait, so it's natural to start a new one. This is not a betrayal and has no similarity with your situation."
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "But I, Liu Yi, am not a servant of the Xie family. The Beifu Army is the army of the imperial court. I join the army to serve the country and temporarily serve under the general of the Xie family. I cannot be said to be a member of the Xie family.
Liu Yu is half the son-in-law of the Xie family, and I, Liu Yi, am not. Wang Changshi, you'd better understand this difference."
Wang Chen curled up his lips: "But no matter what, the Xie family gave you an opportunity to join the army, serve the country, and make contributions. Ordinarily, you should continue to follow them. Now that you have turned to us, I have to doubt your motives."
ah."
A cold light flashed in Liu Yi's eyes: "Actually, the motive is very simple, because the Xie family will only support Liu Yu with all their strength. No matter what I do or what I do, I can't compete with Liu Yu. You are a high-ranking family.
What we are fighting for is the power of the court, and I just want to compete with Liu Jinu. Since the Xie family won't give me this opportunity, I have no choice but to seek your support instead."
Wang Chen frowned: "But the Xie family has the Beifu Army, and we have no plans to build an army of our own. Liu Yi, your way out is in the military, not the officialdom. I can't give you what Xie Xuan can give you."
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "I didn't say that I wanted to switch to your army. It took a lot of effort for me to gain a certain status in the Beifu Army. I have my own brothers. If you want me to leave now, you won't even kill me."
Where’s Ken?”
Wang Chen's expression changed: "If you don't want to leave the Beifu Army, then why do you come to me?"
A cold and stern look flashed in Liu Yi's eyes: "The Beifu Army is not the private property of the Xie family. Although they have funded the Beifu Army over the years, I think you also have this money. Even if you don't, King Kuaiji,
Even the Holy One will definitely try his best to satisfy me. I think a wise man like Wang Changshi will know that a thousand pieces of gold are easy to come by, but a strong man is hard to find."
Wang Chen sighed: "Of course I dream of catching the Beifu Army in my hands, but this can only be a dream. The Beifu Army is all selected and organized by the Xie family, and outsiders can't get involved at all. It costs ten times more.
It is impossible to recruit those fierce northern refugees with money. Now I just regret that we did not have this awareness in the early years and allowed the Xie family to seize the opportunity. Now they have a strong army and have no control over what they do in the court.
They don’t even have the Huan family’s excuse to support their own troops and dominate one side, so how can we deal with it?”
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "But Wang Changshi, have you ever thought about it, do all people named Xie have the same mind? Xie Yan saw that his father did not give the military power to himself, but gave it to his cousin. Did Xie Yan have no idea in his heart? As a
Uncle Xie Xuan’s Xie Shi, in turn, wants to be his nephew’s deputy, is he so willing?”
