Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu cast their cold and stern gazes at Qinglong at the same time. He seemed to have expected Xuanwu to ask this question, and calmly said with a slight smile: "Huanxuan is Huanwen's son. He does not have his father."
His abilities and ambitions are greater than those of his father, and we don’t have any objections to this."
Xuanwu sneered and said: "You also know that his ambition is greater than that of Huan Wen. If this son has Jingzhou, will he be able to be controlled by you again? You have been feeding tigers for so many years, be careful it will bite you back."
Qinglong shook his head: "If he was really capable, how could I dare to help him? But under his pretended humble appearance, he actually had a weak heart, far worse than his father. If I hadn't been completely sure
If you beat him, how can you bring him up? You have asked me to get rid of Huanxuan many times over the years, but I have refused. Now I can tell you the reason, that is, to trigger an internal war in the Jin Dynasty. It is not Huanxuan.
No!"
Bai Hu said coldly: "What does the matter of the two Sima brothers have to do with Huan Xuan? We can still let Jing Yang fight without him."
Qinglong smiled and said: "Jingzhou has always been named Huan. The Huan and Wen brothers have been running it for nearly fifty years. It cannot be eliminated overnight. Even if we elect our own people or people from small and medium-sized families to run Jingzhou, there will be no Huan family."
With the mobilization and organizational power, in this way, Jiankang's forces can easily overwhelm Jingzhou. If the power is unbalanced, the war will naturally end soon. Then the Sima Emperor whose vitality is still intact cannot be easily controlled and replaced by us.
That’s it.”
Zhuque frowned deeply: "You want Huan Xuan to take charge of Jingzhou? He can use all the power of Jingzhou, but you are not afraid that in this case, Jingzhou's power will greatly overtake Jiankang, and Huan Xuan will become Wang Dundi."
Is the second possibility possible? If he really breaks into Jiankang and changes the dynasty, it will definitely not be a blessing for us."
Xuanwu sneered and said: "It is not a blessing for us, but it will be a blessing for Master Qinglong. He and Huan Xuan have been masters and disciples for many years. If this good student annihilates no one, no one will annihilate him. In the future, he will rule the world and conquer the Central Plains."
I cannot do without this mentor who is resourceful and well versed in the art of war."
Qinglong smiled and waved his hand: "You guys, you just don't understand that I, Qinglong, will always be a member of the family. If you are no longer here, how can I and my family control the emperor? For so many years, we have been able to survive in all directions.
It's comfortable because our combined strength can make the emperor obedient. If it's the other way around, and we end up with only one or two families fighting among ourselves, then we won't be able to control the emperor, and he can promote new people to replace us. So.
, I have the same position as you all, that is, I will never allow Huan Xuan to get rid of you."
Xuanwu said coldly: "If Huan Xuan raises troops to join Jiankang and changes dynasties, will we still have the strength to fight against him?"
Qinglong nodded: "Of course, the Beifu Army is here. Not only can it be used for the Northern Expedition, but it can also restrain Huanxuan in Jingzhou. With the Beifu Army, Huanxuan does not dare to go down the river easily, and as long as the Beifu Army is in our hands
, the emperor has to listen to us. Therefore, what we have to do is to let the King of Kuaiji and his party go to places like Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, and Yuzhou, let them take charge of the army, and let the emperor's power be limited to Yangzhou and Sanwu.
, if the two sides really fight, the Beifu Army in Jiangbei will be the key to deciding the outcome, so on the surface we retreat behind the scenes, but by controlling the Beifu Army, we can take the initiative. When the Sima brothers fight and both sides suffer, we will
If we come out to clean up the mess, then our family and the world will never be shaken again, and the real all-out Northern Expedition will be mature."
Xuanwu curled his lips: "I don't understand why the Northern Expedition is possible at this time? Could it be that the opportunity is better than this one?"
Qinglong smiled and said: "That's natural. The Beifu Army is jointly controlled by us. No one can seek personal gain. Then we, the big families, will go all out in the Northern Expedition. As for Jingzhou, if Huanxuan takes control of Jingzhou as planned, in order to compete for the territory, he will also
We will definitely lead the Jingzhou Army northward and out of Guanzhong. In this way, we can advance in two directions. Although we do not attack one place at the same time, we can concentrate our main force to deal with one enemy. Even if one way fails, the other way can gain something. This is our great strength.
This is a feat that the Jin Dynasty has never achieved in hundreds of years. It is a feat of simultaneous attack on multiple fronts and combined efforts of Jing and Yang."
Suzaku shook his head: "The civil war has just ended, how can we have the strength to go to the Northern Expedition? Are you thinking too optimistically? Besides, the emperor can still cause trouble behind the scenes, and so can King Kuaiji."
Qinglong sneered and said: "If we don't go through a civil war and consume all the small and medium-sized families that the emperor and King Kuaiji can find in this civil war, how can we have peace of mind? These emperors of the Sima family are the ones who can stop it.
The biggest factor in the Northern Expedition is, don’t think that if we don’t go looking for them, they will just stay here and find trouble with the inferior families.”
Xuanwu said coldly: "I have a way to stabilize the Sima clan. In this way, the Northern Expedition may be successful without having to fight a civil war."
Qinglong's eyes flashed coldly: "I know your plan, isn't it to marry Wang Miaoyin to Huan Xuan? Let Sima Yao know that our big family has joined forces with the Huan family in Jingzhou, so that he doesn't dare to make a mistake."
Xuanwu shook his head: "No, I'm not talking about marrying Huan Xuan, but marrying the emperor as the new queen."
Everyone gasped, and Bai Hu was the first to shout: "How is this possible? She is Liu Yu's fiancée, and the man died on the battlefield. This is a small family, and the emperor will never agree.
"
Suzaku's eyes were shining with light as he stared at Xuanwu closely. His hands began to clenched into fists unconsciously, but he said nothing.
Qinglong glanced at Suzaku and sneered: "Master Xuanwu, do you still want to continue to be our enemy? Send your Xie family's women into the harem and become the empress of the main palace. From now on, you will draw the emperor to your side, and you can return it at any time.
You can make a comeback, right?"
Xuanwu glanced at the other three people, and finally his eyes stopped on Zhuque: "Remember, Miaoyin's surname is Wang, not Xie. Times have changed, and the emperor can no longer be intimidated or isolated as before. If he feels that he has the power,
I have everything in the world, so it may be a better choice."
Qinglong's eyes sparkled: "Even if the Wang and Xie families are loyal to the emperor in this way, will Sima Yao really trust you? What a joke! Did we send fewer women to the emperor in the past? How have we ever really controlled it? Wang Fahui
Isn’t it personally selected by you, Lord Xuanwu? Does Sima Yao appreciate it?”
Xuanwu smiled slightly, and there was a sense of confidence in his words: "This time is different, because I also presented the Beifu Army!"
