Chapter 790 Black Watch decides on the Northern Expedition

Qinglong looked at Xuanwu motionless and said slowly: "Xuanwu, you should know the consequences of breaking the rules. Don't forget that thirty years ago, Huan Wen was sitting in your position and did the same thing.

.”

Xuanwu laughed: "I'm not as stupid as him, and I won't think about seizing the throne. This Northern Expedition is only for state affairs, not for selfish reasons. The Beifu Army will not let me, the Xie family, command it this time. Every family has

I can send people to participate and gain military merits, and I will share the recovered northern territory with all families fairly, and I will not dare to monopolize it."

Bai Hu said coldly: "Really? When did Mr. Xuanwu become so fair? If the credit is really equally divided, then why does Liu Laozhi still have to be the pioneer? Everyone knows that Liu Laozhi will only take orders.

You Xie family, no one else can command you!"

Xuanwu said calmly: "The Beifu Army is the country's army. It is not owned by my Xie family. At the beginning, none of you were willing to go to the Northern Expedition. If we hadn't taken a far-sighted view and formed this army with refugees early, we would have been afraid of Fei's defeat.

We can't survive the water. Now that the threat has been lifted and we are about to regain the lost ground, you come out to tell me what's fair? Is there such a reason in the world? We have done our best to achieve this, right? The credit of the pioneers will also be

There is a huge risk. If we are defeated, our Xie family will have nothing. Are you going to stop talking about this?"

Zhuque smiled and said: "Okay, okay, let's calm down. In the past hundred years, our four forces have worked together to protect the Jin Dynasty. What we seek is a balance. In terms of interests, everyone wants to take more, but if one party has more, the others

If there is less, this will cause conflicts. Let’s not talk about anything else. How many times have the positions of our four families changed in the past hundred years? Master Xuanwu has contributed a lot to the country, but Baihu’s worries are also reasonable. We still want to

It would be better to have a condition that everyone can accept.”

Baihu gritted his teeth: "Then this Northern Expedition, we have to advance in two ways. One way is for the Beifu army to cross the Yellow River to take Hebei, and the other way is for Jingzhou soldiers and horses to leave Tongguan and take Guanzhong. They can both make great achievements, why not go together?"

Xuanwu raised his eyebrows: "Guanzhong cannot be won now. The customs and customs there are very different from those of the Central Plains. In the previous dynasty, more than half of them were Qiang and Hu. In the last Northern Expedition of Huan Wen, almost no one followed Guanzhong. This shows that public opinion

We are not on the side of the Jin Dynasty, so we need to slow down our efforts."

"Moreover, the Beifu Army's assembly and preparations are all for the northward march to Yecheng. However, because Huan Chong has just died and the Jingzhou troops are leaderless, they have already retreated to Jingzhou to defeat the enemy with an army without a commander and a hastily prepared division.

Guanzhong, where the army is very powerful, has no chance of winning!"

Baihu sneered and said: "With your good grandson-in-law there, who can cooperate inside and outside, how can there be no chance of winning? Xuanwu, you want the Beifu army to take Yecheng first, and then conquer Guanzhong. In this way, you can monopolize the great achievements of the Northern Expedition. In the future, the three of our families combined will win."

I can’t control you anymore.”

Xuanwu said coldly: "If you keep looking at me like this, I have nothing to say. The Northern Expedition is a great cause that I have to accomplish in the past hundred years of the Jin Dynasty. It is not the personal gain of one or two families. If you only think about this half

If we are fighting for power and profit in the southeast and seeking balance, we will never be able to get back what belongs to us. If we don’t have this bit of vision and insight, I don’t think you can sit in the White Tiger’s seat for long!”

Bai Hu's expression changed and he became angry: "What did you say? Do you really want to imitate Huan Wen?"

Xuanwu sneered: "Huan Wen? Although he was ambitious, there was nothing wrong with what he did. If he could really regain Guanzhong and Hebei, even if he became emperor, why not? The reason why we opposed him back then was not because of him

How big his ambition is, but because he could give up the success of the Northern Expedition for the sake of ambition. How can a person like this who only cares about his own small calculations deserve to sit here and help the world of Jin? "

Qinglong sighed: "Okay, stop arguing. Since everyone has different opinions, let's vote. It's still the old rule, the minority obeys the majority."

Xuanwu's eyes flashed coldly: "That's fine, but I have something to say first. This opportunity for the Northern Expedition is the best opportunity for the Jin Dynasty in a hundred years. If it is lost, it may not be possible for decades or even a hundred years.

Now is the opportunity for the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty to set foot on the land of Hebei. I hope that everyone can make this decision with publicity and a responsible attitude towards the Jin Dynasty and our entire Chinese ethnic group! On behalf of Xuanwu, I formally propose to raise troops for the 15th

Ten thousand, with Liu Laozhi's Tiger Troop of ten thousand as the vanguard, we will march north to Hebei, with the goal of Yecheng!"

Bai Hu sneered: "No matter how bright your tongue is, you don't want me to give in at all. It's obviously just to thank the family for you. It doesn't seem to have any great righteousness. On behalf of Bai Hu, I also officially express my position that I do not support this proposal, unless the Tiger Troops

The command power will be given to the candidate we discussed together."

Xuanwu had no expression on his face and turned to look at Qinglong: "Qinglong, what's your opinion?"

Qinglong's eyes sparkled, and after a long moment he said: "This is a serious matter, I need to think about it again, or let Suzaku express his position first."

Xuanwu shook his head: "You old fox, Suzaku, what do you say?"

Suzaku smiled slightly: "Lord Xuanwu has already reached this point. If I object, it will be a waste of this once-in-a-century opportunity for the Northern Expedition. If Liu Laozhi organized the tiger army, changing generals at this time, I am afraid that a major event will be missed.

When Yin Hao launched his Northern Expedition, he used the Yao Xiang and Qiang troops who had surrendered to our Jin Dynasty as the vanguard. They had a good chance, but they thought of annexing Yao Xiang's tribe and sent their own people to replace him. As a result, Yao Xiang was forced to rebel, and the success failed.

This time, we cannot make the same mistake again. Liu Laozhi still has to go as the vanguard. However, we can let the generals promoted by each family lead the troops to speed up the advance and keep pace with Liu Laozhi's troops."

Bai Hu sneered: "No matter how fast we move, we can't compare to Liu Laozhi, the Tiger King of Jiangdong. They have been quietly preparing for a year. You see, tens of thousands of troops gathered and sent envoys to contact Fu Pi secretly.

,When will it be our turn to intervene in these matters?"

Xuanwu sighed: "I want you to give up your own manor production and send your tenants to join the army. Are you willing? You can't even part with military rations, so why talk about the Northern Expedition? If it weren't for the current chaos in the north, you saw the opportunity. Now

Can we still discuss the Northern Expedition here? Is it true that my Xie family has made some preparations in advance?"

Suzaku shook his head and said seriously: "Okay, don't say any more. I, Suzaku, officially express my support for Xuanwu. Qinglong, whether to send troops this time depends on your last vote."
