Chapter 993: The Royal Civil War and the Qinglong Conspiracy
A trace of joy flashed in Qinglong's eyes, but it disappeared instantly. He nodded with satisfaction: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes, Xuanwu, I really saw you right."
Bai Hu gritted his teeth: "I haven't agreed yet, and neither has Suzaku. It's not good for the two of you to have a private deal like this."
Qinglong smiled slightly: "I can't think of any reason for your objection. This is not a matter for our two families, but a matter for our four families. Sooner or later, the Beifu Army will hand it over. By then, the three of us, no, the four families will jointly
Putting people in charge and taking turns out of Zhenbei Mansion, I think this is the best solution for long-term peace and stability."
Bai Hu said coldly: "That is to say, whoever controls the Beifu Army can make achievements in the Northern Expedition. Is this the truth?"
Qinglong smiled and said: "Yes, that's it. However, the credit for the Northern Expedition is no longer shared by one family, but shared by four families. Only in this way can we avoid intrigues between us."
Suzaku said coldly: "The Beifu army is not trained. In the past, the Xie family was able to form Beifu because of the refugees who went south during the war in the north for many years. Although the north is in chaos now, it is unlikely that there will be refugees. This batch of
The Beifu Army may be the last group, so I advise you not to be too optimistic."
Xuanwu's expression changed: "The chaos in the north was caused by refugees from all walks of life heading south. Why are there no more?"
Zhuque sighed: "Because Zhang Yuan and Ding Ling will block both sides of the Yellow River and cut off the refugees' southward passage, and now that Murong Chui has basically pacified Hebei, there will be no major wars. Even if there are refugees in Guanzhong, they will run away
On the territory of the Huan family in Jingzhou, and there won’t be too many of them, you are thinking of relying on the Beifu army for the Northern Expedition in the future, so you’d better give up this wish as soon as possible.”
Xuanwu frowned and looked at Qinglong: "Is this really true? That Zhang Yuan should be one of yours. Let him get out of the way and let the refugees go south, otherwise we will attack him now."
Qinglong shook his head: "Zhang Yuan is already ambitious. It is easy for him to stand on his own, but it will be difficult for him to come back. It is impossible for a wolf to be let out and be willing to come back as a dog. He has already established a separate regime in Qingzhou, and I
How can we make him obey again? We don’t even have the family members and hostages to control him anymore.”
Xuanwu gritted his teeth: "Is this how you control your men?"
Qinglong smiled and said: "The only role of this subordinate is to make him self-reliant and ruin your Northern Expedition. If he is not allowed to have ambitions and thinks that he is working for his own hegemony, how can he use all his strength to run Qingzhou?"
What? I have long said that I will not leave any achievements of the Northern Expedition to your Xie family. This is true for the Beifu Army, and the same is true for Qingzhou and the Central Plains."
Xuanwu said bitterly: "Did you get any benefits? It's impossible for Zhang Yuan to stop Murong Chui, and it's impossible for Ding Ling to stop him. When the time comes, the Yan army goes south again, so just don't cry!"
Qinglong laughed: "What are you afraid of? Murong Chui just wants to restore his country in Hebei now. Going south will be a long way away. Besides, there will be no peace in Guanzhong. Sooner or later, the Xi Yan army will return eastward, and then they will fight with Murong Chui in the same room. Ten
He will not go south within 10 years, and in these ten years, we should also be able to have the strength of the Northern Expedition."
Xuanwu gritted his teeth: "Without the refugees, there would be no Beifu Army. Suzaku sees it very clearly. Not to mention ten years, it is impossible to give you another hundred years."
Qinglong waved his hand: "It depends on people. It's not just refugees who can fight. After you hand over the Beifu Army to me, I will let you see how the new Iron Army is forged. However, this requires us to establish another puppet emperor.
OK."
Bai Hu frowned: "Qinglong, what do you mean? Is it necessary to change the current emperor?"
Qinglong nodded and said seriously: "Yes, Sima Yao is not willing to be a puppet. When the Xie family is here, he will join hands with us to bring down the Xie family. If the Xie family is not here, he will get rid of us. Although we have not shown it
He has a mafia side, but he probably doesn’t want to be the plaything of the family anymore, so the next thing we have to deal with is the emperor.”
Suzaku's expression was solemn: "Qinglong, we have sworn to protect the Jin Dynasty for generations. Please don't mess around. So far, our guards from all over the world have not harmed an emperor!"
Qinglong smiled and said: "Protecting Jin Dynasty does not mean protecting him Sima Yao. Anyone who wants to shake the foundation of our family and the world will be destroyed. The same goes for Liu Yu, and the same goes for Sima Yao."
Xuanwu sighed: "Abolition cannot be done easily. Once it becomes a habit, it will be replaced sooner or later. Qinglong, I understand that you don't want anyone to shake the foundation of our family, but I still want to advise you.
, Emperor, don’t do anything casually. Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, who of those who have done things to abolish and establish the country has a good end? Even the family that originally sat here has been replaced. "
Qinglong nodded: "I understand what you mean, but I didn't say anything about abolishing the establishment. What I meant was that the emperor should change his target and stop staring at our family."
Zhuque's eyes lit up: "You mean, let the emperor and his brother Sima Daozi fight each other?"
Qinglong nodded with satisfaction: "Exactly. Our big families should stay calm and don't make any moves. Other small and medium-sized families will stand in line one after another, either following the emperor or the emperor's younger brother. On the surface, it will initially be a competition for official and military positions in various places.
, when the fight ends, the two sides will form cliques for personal gain, attack each other, and eventually turn into a full-scale civil war. We only need to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers and control our manor in the Sanwu area, as well as the Beifu Army, so that the two sides cannot help each other.
In the end, when their fight comes to a conclusion, no matter which faction wins, the only way to dominate the world is through our four major families."
Bai Hu sighed: "You are really a genius, Qinglong. Fortunately you are not the emperor, otherwise all of us would have died without a burial place!"
Suzaku looked at Qinglong and wondered: "Can we really help each other? What if things come to a point where we have to take sides and express our stance?"
Qinglong sneered and said: "We have all been dismissed from our posts and returned home just like Mr.
There is nothing we can do in the world, whether it is Jingzhou or Yangzhou, let alone the Beifu Army is still in our hands."
Xuanwu said slowly: "What about your good student Huan Xuan? What are you going to do with him? If you trick us all into giving up our power and returning to our hometowns, while your good student takes advantage of the royal infighting to regain control of Jingzhou, what will happen to him?"
I'm afraid the three of us will bow to you at some point."
