Chapter 926: A Major Moment That Determines the Future
Judging from the current situation, the daily work in Jingkou is probably left to Lao Tan in charge of Liu Lao.
Then these things must be in place.
After all, among several comrades, Lao Tan is the one with the most outspoken temperament and the one who can't hold back his words the most.
Basically, others don't need to worry.
The He brothers have always been scheming. They don't count others, it's already a favor, and they will never be plotted by others.
Where is Wei Yongzhi?
Because he had always been open-mouthed before, although he is now cured, he has long developed a taciturn personality and would not speak easily.
So, it seems that Lao Tan is the most dangerous.
What's more, he is now in charge of daily affairs in Beifu. He has to do a lot and come into contact with many people. It is really impossible not to help him be more vigilant.
"Zhiyuan, who are you going to take with you when you return to Jiankang this time?" This was Liu Yu's question, and it was indeed a big question.
"Speaking of this, I really have to think carefully."
"You also know that the imperial court's attitude towards my Beifu has been getting worse and worse recently. When I return to Jiankang this time, I may have to face a lot of dangers."
"Under such circumstances, it is impossible for me to take all my brothers back to Jiankang. I always have to leave some strength to guard Jingkou."
"What do you mean?"
"Can I still go?" When Liu Yu asked this question, he was actually beating a snare drum in his heart. The more he listened to Wang Mi's words just now, the more he felt that they were meant for him.
But Liu Yu was not convinced.
Even though he knew that he would probably be left behind again, he still wanted to fight for it.
oops!
When Liu Yu said this, Wang Mi was very embarrassed.
Originally, his next sentence was to tell Liu Yu to stay at Jingkou, but when he was asked this question, he felt embarrassed again.
Suddenly I came to some conclusions.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Yu understood, and he got it right.
However, even though he knew Wang Mi's thoughts, he didn't expose it. Anyway, if you don't tell me or I don't tell you, maybe he will go to Jiankang!
It's all an operating technique.
I just don’t know if I can get through it?
"Send a slave!"
"I understand what you are thinking."
"but……"
"Zhiyuan, why shouldn't I go to Jiankang?"
"You also said that Jiankang City is treacherous and full of dangers. Don't you need me by your side to protect you?"
"But at this time, you don't let me go. Doesn't this make me anxious in Jingkou?"
"Among our brothers, I am the strongest in martial arts. Don't you disagree with this?"
"Of course, I know you are the best at fighting."
"But, you are a native of Jingkou, so when it comes to long-term guarding, you are the most suitable person."
"Besides, your children are also here. It's convenient for you to stay in Jingkou and take care of them."
"You are not young anymore, and it is time for you to arrange a marriage. It is inappropriate to follow me around all the time. You should stay in Jingkou, or let General Liu help you find a good wife. Man, first of all
Get married and then start a career."
"Everything in this family is taken care of. From now on, you will have nothing to worry about."
Take a look!
I'll be considerate!
I have thought of this kind of thing for you. Where can you find such a good boss?
Besides, there is indeed a reason for you to stay and garrison in Jingkou.
In all aspects, Liu Yu is the most suitable candidate.
Although Lao Tan and others have now settled in Jingkou, they are still northerners after all, and they are not natives of Jingkou.
I have lived in Jingkou for only half a year.
With Lao Tan and the others, it was perfectly possible to follow Wang Mi to Jiankang City and break into the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den. Liu Yu stayed at Jingkou to garrison for his convenience.
Unfortunately, Liu Yu didn't seem to appreciate it.
"Zhiyuan, this is because you are worrying too much. Although I am a native of Jingkou and have a mother at home, my family's affairs have already been taken care of, so there is no need for me to worry."
"As for my marriage, how can I think about those things now? As long as Beifu can be safe and sound, what difference does it make to those important towns in the north as soon as possible, two years earlier or two years later?"
"I have a young brother at home, and my mother has no intention of urging me to get married as soon as possible. Why can't I follow him to Jiankang?"
This time, Liu Yu also risked his life. If you are willing to take me there, I will go. If you are not willing to take me there, I will go too.
It feels really bad to always leave me alone.
Besides, staying behind is always just to find some unimportant generals to stay.
Apart from anything else, Liu Yu was still very confident in his combat effectiveness among the soldiers of Beifu.
It can be said that the force value ranks first.
Why is he such an important person alone this time? They are all brothers. Who can bear this?
Furthermore, isn’t there Liu Laozhi?
In the past, the two sides were hostile to each other and were on guard against each other. It was appropriate not to leave many things to him.
But now, Liu Laozhi has made it clear that he will follow Wang Mi, and he has done everything right.
What else is there to worry about?
Liu Laozhi was also a veteran general in Beifu, and he had a high prestige. The soldiers here were also willing to listen to his orders. Furthermore, in the past, they were worried that Liu Laozhi would form his own army behind Wang Mi's back.
Wang Mi's influence in Beifuzhong has gradually faded, and now it seems that Liu Laozhi is still a very down-to-earth person.
He said that he would follow, but in his actions he did not engage in trivial and shameful tricks.
In Beifu, Wang Mi's reputation has not been damaged at all, and the soldiers still regard him as their backbone.
Under the current circumstances, keeping Liu Laozhi in Jingkou is the best choice.
At critical moments, Liu Yu was also a person who dared to fight for his rights. He presented facts and reasoned, especially after analyzing the situation in Jingkou.
He also admitted that he had no intention of getting married at all. The place he wanted to stay most now was Beifu, because he wanted to follow Wang Mi.
In addition to Liu Yu, the He brothers and even Lao Tan were all speaking for Liu Yu. In this way, Wang Mi had to agree even if he didn't want to agree.
"Zhiyuan, you don't have to worry. Since I was the one who stayed behind before, there is no problem at all if you let me come now."
"Since you went on the expedition, a group of soldiers from Beifu have taken care of the slave's family. If his younger brother hadn't been young and the family lacked labor, we would have asked them to join the army a long time ago."
"You don't have to worry about things at home. General Liu and I are responsible for the matters at Jingkou Military Camp. You can rest assured."
"It turns out that we worked very well together in the past two months."
"As for the slave, let him go to Jiankang together. Why should we change the candidate in order to make things more secure?"
"Don't you still believe me?"
Although Wang Mi did not agree with what Tan Pingzhi said before, this last sentence hit the point.
As brothers, how can we not trust our own people?
Not to mention, Wang Mi now trusts Tan Pingzhi more than Liu Yu.
There is a reason for this.
No matter who the two of them were, they had no problem with Wang Mi.
Wang Mi was vaguely worried about the future.
Tan Pingzhi won’t go into details, he is a loyal and courageous person, and he is an upright and honest person both in history and in reality.
No need to have any worries.
But obviously, Liu Yu is not such a person.
He is brave, perseverant, and wise, and most importantly, he is an ambitious man. Once his power reaches a certain level, Wang Mi may be in danger, not Liu Yu.
Therefore, from the beginning, brothers did not distinguish each other, but now, brothers also have to settle accounts. For Wang Mi, at this point in time, there should be some changes in his attitude.
Fortunately, he was always very careful with his actions and did not arouse anyone's dissatisfaction, let alone any suspicion.
Now, judging from their performance, this is indeed the case.
Therefore, how to use Liu Yu while guarding against the expansion of his power became Wang Mi's main concern.
However, thinking about it this way, it seems that what He Wuji and the others said makes more sense.
To control Liu Yu's power, wouldn't it be most appropriate to transfer him away from the base camp?
Jingkou is Liu Yu's foundation. You left him here and brought a group of prisoners and soldiers back to health in a mighty manner.
Aren't you unable to manage Liu Yu's situation in Jingkou?
If he was causing trouble, would you know?
So, wouldn't it be safer to take Liu Yu with you and watch him all the time?
Confused!
Seeing the prosperity in Beifu, I felt a little forgetful for a while.
You are really thinking about the future of Beifu, but you have put your own personal interests aside. Isn't this funny?
According to Wang Mi's previous assumptions, leaving powerful generals like Liu Yu in Jingkou was of course the safest approach for the soldiers of Beifu and was also the most beneficial to Beifu.
It was precisely out of consideration for Beifu that Wang Mi had such an idea at that time.
However, obviously, if you think about it now, wouldn't doing this mean throwing Wang Mi himself into the fire pit?
"Oh well!"
"Since everyone has reached a consensus, I cannot be arbitrary."
"Jinu, just follow us to Jiankang, and Wuji and Amai, you two are indispensable."
"As for Pingzhi and Yongzhi, you two have to work harder and stay at Jingkou. You must pay attention to the things I just told you."
"I know, don't worry!"
"Don't beat your chest and make promises. Based on this, you and General Liu must work together to prevent bad guys from taking advantage of Beifu."
"This matter is so crucial, you must not be vague."
"Zhiyuan, you're so good, why is your mother-in-law up?"
"Did I do something bad before?"
Really, Tan Pingzhi became a little unhappy when he said this.
Wang Mi's repeated instructions made him feel as if he was not trusted and that there was something wrong with his ability.
Although Lao Tan also knew that in terms of ability, he was indeed inferior to the slaves, but he was only inferior to the slaves.
He, Lao Tan, has also been through water and fire. What kind of battles have he not seen, what difficulties have he not encountered?
Nowadays, he is not required to go through life and death, nor is he required to carry a knife to kill people. It is just a simple job to guard Beifu. If others can do it well, can he, Lao Tan, do it well?
"I don't mean to look down on you. We are both thinking about Beifu."
"There were some things just now that were not convenient to mention to General Liu. We are all brothers here, so I might as well explain it more clearly."
"Today, the situation facing Beifu is very different from before. We must be prepared now. We don't know when the court will turn against us. If we want to develop, we can only rely on ourselves."
"We want to go all the way to the north to expand our territory. Are we doing it for the imperial court?"
"no!"
"We are in it for ourselves!"
"I think there are many things that, even if I don't point them out clearly, you all understand. We have talked about them many times before, and my determination remains unchanged."
"I must send my troops northward to completely wipe out the barbarians. After that, this world will completely change."
None of the brothers present spoke. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to talk or express their opinions. They were scared!
So far, although Wang Mi has hinted frequently, he has never made the matter so clear as he did today.
So clear!
So thorough!
Everyone's eyes seemed to suddenly become enlightened.
"Zhiyuan, do you really think so?"
"Have you finally made up your mind?"
It was He Mai who rushed forward at this time.
right!
it's him!
Among the people here, the one who knows Wang Mi’s plan best is none other than He Mai, and many people don’t know this yet.
Frankly speaking, He Mai's mood at the moment is simply indescribable to outsiders.
He was so excited!
I can't control my mood at all!
Wang Mi scanned the bodies of all the brothers, and from their eyes, he could confirm that they were all of the same mind!
Everyone's mood is the same!
All right!
What are you waiting for?
Let’s do it!
"Since everyone agrees with me, you should be able to understand my layout. It can be said that Beifu is under attack from both sides."
"On the one hand, the imperial court is eyeing our generals. What I said to General Liu just now is definitely not alarmist. I am worried that the imperial court will always find a general from Beifu to take action."
"This time when we return to Jiankang, the first thing we need to do is try our best to avoid this situation from happening."
"Apart from this, what Beifu needs most is to stabilize the morale of the military and improve their combat effectiveness."
"In terms of personnel, thanks to the efforts of Ping Zhi and General Liu, a lot of additions have been made, which is good, and my worries have been reduced a lot."
"There are still some Di Qin soldiers who can be added to the team. We can start doing these things right away."
"In terms of weapons, traditional weapons, swords and guns, saddles, and stirrups can all be made directly in Jingkou. We must seize the time and make more, and we must not fall behind."
"With that, I leave this matter to you." Wang Mi turned his head and said to Lao Tan with a serious face.
Lao Tan also nodded cautiously. At this time, no one present would turn a deaf ear to Wang Mi's words.
This is the most critical moment!
A major moment that will determine the future direction of Beifu!
