The three people's eyes were all cast on Qinglong. Qinglong's eyes were shining. After thinking for a long time, he said: "I can support Xuanwu, but there is a condition. That is, this Northern Expedition is completely planned by your Xie family. From the general
As soon as I get to the commander-in-chief, please thank Xianggong for taking charge. If you have such a public spirit as you say, you should know how to distribute it."
Bai Hu's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak, Qinglong waved his hand: "I haven't finished yet. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Your Xie family will bear all the responsibility for the Northern Expedition. If you win, the result will be yours."
We have nothing to say about the distribution, but if we are defeated, please give up Xie Xianggong’s position and we can find someone else, how about that?”
Xuanwu's eyebrows twitched and he said in a deep voice: "With our Xie family dedicated to serving the country and sending troops to the Northern Expedition, we have to bet on the prosperity and wealth of our Xie family?"
Qinglong said calmly: "Huan Wen failed in the Northern Expedition and wanted to usurp it when he came back. We did this just because we didn't want you, Mr. Xuanwu, and Mr.
You have the final say on the distribution of benefits after the war. But if you lose the war, you have to take responsibility and appease the anger of the family. After all, the Northern Expedition is a great cause, and all the major families have to provide food and people. If you lose, everyone will lose.
, there must be someone who is responsible. At that time, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, also left Qishan six times for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. No one doubted his loyalty, but if he lost the battle, he would have to go back to his position and be demoted three levels in a row? Master Xuanwu
He is a famous figure throughout the ages and a great man, he is not even inferior to Zhuge Liang."
Xuanwu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Qinglong, you don't have to use words to pressure me. I am loyal and have nothing to say. Our mafia has been established for a hundred years, and the honor and disgrace have long been integrated with Dajin. If it were mine,
Your behavior has not brought the benefits it deserves to the Jin Dynasty, so you should retreat bravely. On your condition, I agree. If we cannot gain land in Hebei and capture Yecheng during this Northern Expedition, then I will definitely write to the Holy Emperor and remove myself!"
Bai Hu's eyes lit up and he asked: "What about the Beifu Army? If you no longer serve as prime minister, who will be in charge of the Beifu Army?!"
Xuanwu said coldly: "Then let's take a look at the opinions of the senior officials in the court and the children of various aristocratic families. Although this Beifu Army was first built by my Xie family, it is the army of the Jin Dynasty. I have never thought that it is our army.
Even if we are a private soldier of the same family and capture Hebei, I intend to return it with great power and let the Holy One personally take control of this powerful force."
Bai Hu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master Xuanwu, remember what you said, and don't go back on it."
Xuanwu smiled slightly: "The Beifu Army is the strongest army in the world. Not just anyone can control this iron army. Just like the Huan Family Army in Jingzhou, even if Huan Chong dies, not just anyone can control it."
To take control and take charge.”
Qinglong nodded: "Very good, then it's settled. The matter of the Northern Expedition will be left to Master Xuanwu. We will have the food and strength to contribute. As long as you ask, we will give you our full help. However,
, please also please Mr. Xuanwu remember the promise you just made and don’t regret it.”
Xuanwu nodded: "It's a deal."
Qinglong glanced at Baihu and said: "The matter of sending troops to Hebei has been decided. If there is any movement of Liu Yu in Guanzhong, can I still get the jade seal back?"
Xuanwu said calmly: "Liu Yu went with Murong Lan to get the jade seal that time, but Murong Lan's purpose was to assassinate Fu Jian. The two were at odds, which led to Fu Jian's ambush. Later, Liu Yu took action to restrain Fu Jian.
, agreed with him to stay and cure Murong Lan before leaving. Fu Jian said that if Chang'an City cannot be defended, he will give the jade seal to Liu Yu and ask him to use it to keep his family safe."
Bai Hu sneered and said: "I think this Liu Yu is getting more and more out of your control, Mr. Xuanwu. You don't want to take good care of him, so that he doesn't end up being kidnapped by that little girl from the Murong family to join the Yan Kingdom.
"
Xuanwu looked serious and said coldly: "This is impossible. I know Liu Yu's character best. He will never betray Jin and join Qin or join Yan. First of all, he is a filial man, and his family and fiancée are all here."
Jin, secondly, his loyalty comes first, and he promises a large sum of money. If he only cared about his own life, he could have abandoned Murong Lan long ago and fled for his own life. Why bother to trap himself in the Qin Palace? "
Zhuque smiled and said: "I think Liu Yu intends to stay in Chang'an to achieve his goal."
Xuanwu's expression changed: "Do you really think so? What purpose could he have?"
Zhuque said calmly: "Liu Yu's desire to regain Chang'an is incomprehensibly strong. It is probably because he is a descendant of Liu Jiao, King of Chu Yuan of the Han Dynasty, that he believes that Chang'an is his old capital, and that the Han Dynasty
It is his homeland. He does not want to see the barbarians continue to stay in Chang'an. Only by recovering Chang'an can he complete his mission."
Xuanwu frowned: "How did you know that he had this idea?"
Zhuque smiled slightly: "Liu Yu always doesn't hide his true thoughts in front of people close to him. It's not difficult to know this. So in my opinion, he stayed in Chang'an because he hoped that our Northern Expedition army could advance first.
Entering Guanzhong and regaining Chang'an, he can also cooperate with others inside and outside, and even persuade Fu Jian to surrender."
Xuanwu nodded: "You guessed it right, he really said this, saying that Fu Jian can protect the people in Guanzhong, it is best if we can make Fu Jian surrender. Before that, he will help Fu Jian defend Chang'an and save several people."
The lives of 100,000 Han people are waiting for our army to enter Guanzhong."
Qinglong smiled slightly: "Lord Xuanwu, do you want to take Yecheng or help your grandson-in-law realize his grand ambition? Anyway, you are fully responsible for the Northern Expedition. Whether to attack Guanzhong or Hebei is up to you.
.”
Xuanwu curled his lips: "Guanzhong is not something that can be obtained in the short term, but Yecheng is within easy reach. Liu Laozhi's combat preparations are based on the offensive and defensive positions in the Hebei Plain. I will ask Liu Yu to leave Chang'an as soon as possible.
Go to Yecheng to assist Liu Yi, after all, he should be needed there more."
Bai Hu sneered: "Are you really sure you can let him leave? He may not be able to leave that Xianbei woman."
Xuanwu's eyes flashed coldly: "I will naturally make careful arrangements and will definitely let Liu Yu go to Yecheng immediately."
Qinglong's eyes were bright: "Are you asking Liu Yu to go to Yecheng to help Liu Yi, or to steal credit from Liu Yi? I was talking about fairness just now, but it seems unfair for you, Mr. Xuanwu, to do this."
Xuanwu raised his white eyebrows and took off his mask: "Letting the most suitable person appear in the most suitable place is the greatest fairness. Giving Liu Yi and Liu Yu a chance to compete fairly will be good for Dajin!"
