Chapter 718: Brothers stand together, if they don't, they disperse?
"However, with the current situation in the court, once Sun Tai reveals his true purpose, let alone becoming an emperor, he will not be able to stay in Jiankang City any longer, and will immediately be strangled by several major families."
"So, for long-term considerations, he must find a shield for himself, and Sima Daozi is obviously the best choice."
"It just so happens that Sima Daozi also wants to usurp the throne and seize power. Sima Daozi will take the bait himself without Sun Tai having to bother to persuade him."
"So, the Beifu soldiers led by Liu Laozhi became an important bargaining chip for Sun Tai to persuade Sima Daozi. With him, Sun Tai had his own military team in the Jin Dynasty. It seems that, for Sima Daozi,
, he can be considered to be of value."
"So, it is Sun Tai who is using Liu Laozhi now, but he is suppressing Liu Laozhi by using his identity as a fellow Renmin University Celestial Master."
"The current situation is that whoever Liu Laozhi chooses to seek refuge with will be able to gain an advantage in the court." Liu Muzhi then analyzed.
It has to be said that this Wang Shilang, who they have not yet met, has some tactics. Before he arrived, what Liu Muzhi and Liu Yu thought of was to get rid of Liu Laozhi so that they could take control of the Beifu.
However, now that we calm down and think about it, perhaps keeping Liu Laozhi would be of greater help to them.
Sun Taiyi believed that Liu Laozhi was eager to cooperate with him. Outsiders didn't know how many benefits he had promised, but they would definitely allow him to firmly control Beifu.
Having led troops in Beifu for many years, many soldiers in Beifu knew Liu Laozhi's wishes very well, including Liu Yu.
For Liu Laozhi, he actually has many choices, and his situation is much better than that of Sun Tai.
If he wanted to control Beifu, wouldn't he already be the actual controller of Beifu? Although Liu Yu was very threatening and ambitious, his qualifications in Beifu were too short.
Moreover, since Liu Yu was not from a noble family, the imperial court would not show any favoritism when investigating him and Liu Laozhi.
On the same starting line, Liu Laozhi certainly has an advantage over Liu Yu.
Even if he followed Sun Tai to cause trouble, in the end, he would not be able to control any other military force except Beifu.
He, Liu Laozhi, only has one person, and even if he wants to take care of it, he can't.
If Liu Laozhi doesn't get much more than he does now, why should he bother?
Isn’t this worth the loss?
Tossing around will always lead to death.
For Sun Tai, Liu Laozhi was an indispensable force. If he lost Liu Laozhi's support, he would have no support in the court.
The only military force he could rely on was the Beifu soldiers under Liu Laozhi's control. If Liu Laozhi betrayed him, he would have no strength at all to rely on.
Therefore, although Sun Tai puts on a good posture, he is actually very passive.
"In other words, Wang Shilang now wants to win over Liu Laozhi?"
"And Liu Laozhi has already agreed!"
There seems to be nothing to discuss on this point. Liu Lao has already killed Sun En. Doesn't that mean he surrendered to Wang Mi?
Zeng Jing nodded: "That's right."
"So, tonight, Beifu has passed through a crisis, with no danger."
Before Zeng Jing finished speaking, Wang Mi raised the curtain and entered the tent. The first thing he saw was Liu Yu's slightly gloomy face.
Tsk tsk...
This is not good.
It turns out that the slave is also looking forward to it!
My fault!
it's all my fault!
It seems that no matter how smart and witty a person is, there are times when he can defeat Liu Laozhi but offend Liu Yu.
Why didn't he expect that after being fooled by him like this, Liu Yu had already decided to take charge of Beifu?
However, his ambition grew too fast and was too vigorous.
It has to be said that at this moment, Liu Yu's ambition was exposed in front of Wang Mi's eyes.
I originally wanted to maintain harmony for a while, but I didn't expect that Liu Yu, who had not been in the army for a long time, already wanted to be the commander of an army.
This appetite is a bit too big, and it opens up too quickly.
Although Liu Yu did have extraordinary achievements in several wars against Di Qin, did Wang Mi have no merit?
In comparison, Wang Mi's contribution may even be greater.
Now it was just that he was asked to take charge of the Beifu soldiers later, but his expression changed unexpectedly.
Could it be that those ideas under Xiangyang City will be fulfilled in a short time?
Brothers also share hardships and hardships, as well as wealth and honors?
In any case, I met the strange man Liu Muzhi today, which is already a big gain.
Will he follow him, Wang Mi?
With such doubts, he reached out to Liu Muzhi.
"Guys, what happened today was just a temporary measure. After entering the general's tent, I discovered that Liu Laozhi didn't seem to have made up his mind to kill me, so he took a step back."
"I hope brothers can understand my difficulties and continue to protect Beifu."
"What Shilang Wang said is absolutely true, but my subordinates still have concerns. Once General Liu changes his mind, what will we do?"
"Furthermore, General Xie is too ill to rush back to Beifu. General Liu doesn't know about this now. Will his mentality change once he knows about it?"
"My subordinates believe that we should make plans to deal with these matters in advance. Otherwise, if we don't grasp the timing well, we will easily fall into passivity."
"Don't worry, even if he has changed, he can only keep it in his heart and not dare to cause trouble again."
Why is Zhiyuan so confident?
Could it be that he secretly set some little trap for Liu Laozhi?
"He has already killed Sun En. Will Sun Tai still cooperate with him in the court?"
"Absolutely not!" Liu Muzhi shook his head desperately.
"By doing this, he has cut off the path of compromise with the imperial court, and will not gain any benefit from Sima Daozi."
"This man is considered useless."
It’s useless, it’s really useless!
Or give up martial arts, how touching!
This was not the result of Wang Mi's hard instigation. It was Liu Laozhi who wanted to do this himself and took the initiative.
To be honest, even Wang Mi didn't want to do things so well, so it might as well leave Sun En alive.
Just make sure he can't cause trouble again.
Who would have thought that one of the Liu prisoners would kill Sun En by slapping him on the forehead? He was really a one-minded person.
"However, even if he can no longer cooperate with Sun Tai, he can still join forces with King Langya. What King Langya lacks is the support of the general. He will definitely be willing to cooperate with Liu Laozhi." Mu Zhi immediately thought of it.
For this possibility, Wang Mi secretly praised him in his heart.
Although this person may look sloppy, he has a really clear mind. If he can be used by me in the future, he will have a bright future!
"Even so, would Liu Laozhi do this?"
"You may not know that I have already talked with General Liu. Although I was sent by Mr. Xie to take over Beifu, I will not ask too much about Beifu's affairs. At present, the situation is still under control.
Before it is stabilized, Beifu will still be managed by General Liu."
"Jinnu, General Liu has also said that you will be his deputy general. In the future, the two of you will jointly command Beifu."
"As for me, I just need to have a name."
What is this operation?
Could it be that he came all the way from Jiankang City just to give up power to Liu Laozhi?
This wave of operations by Wang Mi is really confusing.
Liu Yu's face turned even more ugly.
"Zhiyuan, why is this?"
"You are obviously the legitimate commander-in-chief of Beifu, why did you let Liu Lao take a step?"
"He is already arrogant. If you act like this, you are playing into his hands. It will not be easy to control Beifu in the future."
Liu Yu was using Wang Mi to describe himself. As a young general with great ambitions, Liu Yu also wanted to dethrone Liu Laozhi and ascend to the throne himself.
If you give up this opportunity, it will be difficult to find opportunities in the future.
Wang Mi also heard it, but he would never admit that he had temporarily adjusted his plan just to guard against Liu Yu.
"Actually, Mr. Xie sent me to Jingkou just to stabilize the situation in Beifu. Now as long as the situation is stabilized, it doesn't matter whether I am the general or not."
"Furthermore, I will not leave Beifu during this period of time. Once the situation changes, I can respond quickly and will not suffer any loss."
"It's you, slave slave. If this happens, you will suffer a little injustice."
"Grief is out of the question. I'm just worried about your safety."
"Liu Laozhi has always coveted the position of Beifu. Now he finally got the opportunity. I don't think he will give up easily. It is in our best interest to take action now. If we miss it now, we will regret it!"
What Liu Yu said was half truth and half false. Of course, he was also thinking about Wang Mi's personal safety, but more importantly, he was also worried about his own future.
Now in Beifu, Liu Laozhi's power is still greater, and Liu Yu wholeheartedly follows Wang Mi, which will inevitably become a thorn in Liu Laozhi's side.
Fundamentally speaking, Liu Laozhi might not be cruel to Wang Mi, but he might not be so cruel to Liu Yu.
What's more, Liu Muzhi stood behind Liu Yu. These people had many contacts with Liu Laozhi in Beifu, and they were all Liu Laozhi's subordinates.
It couldn't be easier for Lao Zhi to put on small shoes for them.
Moreover, Wang Mi's move is indeed a bit unacceptable. Since a plan has been made before, one should act according to the plan.
How can one suddenly change his mind and leave everyone on the beach?
"Jinu, we are taking a step back now for the sake of our brothers in Beifu. Once Liu Laozhi is killed, the army of Beifu will be in chaos."
"The Jiankang court already has a lot of troubles. We at Jingkou don't want to add any more."
"When the time comes, internal and external troubles will pile up and it will be difficult to cope with it."
Liu Yu, hehe, that’s not what you said just now.
I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup Liu Laozhi gave him to make him change his mind so easily.
Despite Liu Yu's cold face and Liu Muzhi's suspicious eyes, Wang Mi still didn't change his mind. In fact, he was still under great pressure.
Fortunately, Liu Laozhi and Liu Yu had a very bad relationship and were particularly difficult to deal with. The two of them would never join forces in private. Wang Mi was very confident about this.
Otherwise, he would not dare to go back on his promise like this.
OK!
Just continue to mess around like this for a while!
Fortunately, with Liu Yu's current mood, even if he is dissatisfied with Wang Mi, he will take the overall situation into consideration, at least he will not hate him.
As long as Liu Yu does not join forces with Liu Laozhi, the pressure on Wang Mi will be greatly reduced.
You can lead troops, but I can't?
Wang Mi now and Wang Mi in history are no longer the same person. Since their temperaments and experiences are different, he is definitely not worried about having a sword-fight with Liu Yuzhen.
On the contrary, Liu Yu should consider his own weight more.
Over in Jiankang, all kinds of fresh and hot weapons are being transported to Jingkou in a steady stream. As long as these advanced weapons are in charge, there is no need to worry about being unable to subdue Liu Yu.
If he had a brain, he should know that with his current ability, he shouldn't act rashly.
Things also developed like this. Although Liu Yu complained a little, he did not blame Wang Mi too much.
After all, he is only a mid-level general now, and although Wang Mi is a civil servant, he is now a serious general, with the same rank as Liu Yu.
After all, Liu Yu can be regarded as Wang Mi's subordinate, whether from the perspective of the court or his military position.
With Liu Yu's current ability and experience, he would not dare to defeat his superiors, except Liu Laozhi.
Not only because he and Liu Laozhi had some differences, but also because he had Wang Mi's support behind him. He was expected to take down Liu Laozhi by himself. Sorry, he didn't have the courage yet.
So, he had no choice but to take Liu Muzhi with him, change his armor angrily, and give up the plan.
"Come on, Mu Zhi, let's get to know each other."
At this moment, Liu Muzhi's face was far from pretty, but Wang Mi didn't mind. Wouldn't it be a waste to have such a counselor be so devoted to Liu Yu?
Wouldn't that forcefully create difficulties for yourself?
Liu Yu went to appease the soldiers. Liu Muzhi wanted to retreat with him, but unexpectedly, he was stopped by Wang Mi.
This is very embarrassing.
It might be better if we change the occasion and the time.
"My subordinates have met Wang Shilang." Although Liu Muzhi is slovenly in daily life, he is still very polite when facing his superiors.
The key point is that Brother Mu really wanted to be an official.
In this matter, Wang Mi is obviously more useful than Liu Yu.
"I heard about Brother Mu's name when I was in Jiankang, but I haven't taken the time to meet him. It's a pity."
"Brother Mu is indeed alert and decisive, taking every detail into consideration."
"With your help, the affairs of Beifu can be so orderly, and I feel relieved in Jiankang."
You are mine, no need to doubt it.
Although Wang Mi didn't say it directly, the meaning was already revealed. Liu Yu is my person, and you are Liu Yu's person, which means you are mine.
Of course Liu Muzhi heard it and said with a smile: "Does the Minister Wang not trust the slaves yet?"
Creating an enemy for a powerful general, suppressing this one, and promoting that one. This is the trick they, the children of aristocratic families, like to use the most.
It's all old tricks.
"Why do you think so?"
"Mu Zhi, if my feeling is correct, are you trying to avenge the injustice of the slave?"
"You think I shouldn't let Liu Laozhi go?"
It seems that the relationship between these two people is indeed stronger than he imagined, and they have established such a strong friendship in such a short period of time.
