If you think about it carefully, there will be more information conveyed in this letter
You should know that this is not a message publicly conveyed by the court through the pipeline, but to some extent, Xie An’s secret letter to Liu Yu was an explanation from a teacher to the students. The profound meaning behind it is definitely far more than the literal one.
The reason is very simple. The relationship between Xie An and Liu Yu is definitely different from the general relationship between superiors and subordinates. Everyone knows that when Xie An formed the Northern Army, Liu Yu was the earliest group of veterans, and Xie An was among the clans, and a few of them were
Liu Yu is almost cultivated by him. The relationship between the two can be said to be like father and son. Now Liu Yu is in trouble, and Xie An cannot ignore it.
Xie An actually chose to write a letter to Liu Yu so quickly, so there was only one reason, that is, Xie An was under great pressure and had to temporarily not send reinforcements.
Without asking the truth, Liu Yu took the lead in the Northern Expedition this time to avoid disaster. In order to get rid of Jiankang's fierce struggle, he chose to lead troops out. This is the same as Jiang Wei's avoidance of disaster.
Before, Liu Yu had won victories and recovered a large area of land, so naturally no one dared to say anything. As long as it was recovering the land, it was a skill, a merit, and what else could be said?
But now that you are defeated and you have introduced the enemy into Huaibei, that is your fault! You still want to rescue soldiers? Let’s wait until the big men in the court have figured out the battle!
After reading the letter, Li Mu found that Liu Yu's expression was a little sad, and couldn't help but say, "Sir..."
"Hahahaha" Liu Yu suddenly smiled, "Old Li, we must be prepared. The reinforcements will not come for a while."
"The officials know"
"It's my fault," Liu Yu smiled bitterly, "If it's not me who leads the troops, even if Shouchun encounters a powerful enemy, Jiankang will send troops. Xie Xiang has his own difficulties, I can understand, but... But this Shouchun City
The military and civilians in the country are not the military and civilians of my Great Jin Dynasty?!"
"Hahaha" Li Mu also smiled, "Sir, hasn't this been the case for so many years? The interests of the faction are more important than national interests. Haha, it is your own soldiers, and you have to save them even if you sacrifice your life. If it is not,
Just seek blessings for yourself”
"Damn it!" Liu Yu finished speaking angrily, but it was hard to continue talking about it. Although Xie An was better than other gentry members, no matter what, he was the patriarch of the Xie family after all, and he could not ignore the interests of his faction and he just did his best to do so.
Let the interests of factions be consistent with the interests of the country, and you can gain such a high reputation, even to the point where "if you don't have a person, you can do whatever the world is."
But this time, when Xie An's family interests are linked to Liu Yu's future, Xie An will certainly not add any harm, but it is too difficult for Xie An to help him in time.
In fact, Xie An was able to write a letter to remind himself that Liu Yu was already very grateful. It was the group of people in the court who sacrificed national interests for political struggles and sacrificed the lives of so many people! But these people
, but they are the real backbone of the country!
"Oh, I really envy my brother." Liu Yu sighed.
"Sir, do you have sworn brothers?" Li Mu was a little curious. Liu Yu is now one of the most popular young heroes in the world. He has a very high reputation and even his brother whom he envies. Who is that?
"Hehe, he is Duan Ye, the current prefect of Dunhuang!" Liu Yu said with some pride, but also a little confused. He was indeed very successful. This time he performed very well in Qifu tribe. As a righteous brother, of course I was a man of mine.
I'm happy for him, my sister has a good vision
But on the other hand, Liu Yu also vaguely felt that Duan Ye was so big, I am afraid that one day the two would have a conflict. What would happen at that time?
Li Mu was also shocked. Duan Ye's reputation has recently spread all over the country, inside and outside the Great Wall. The momentum is almost on par with Liu Yu. Everyone knows it. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu and Duan Ye still worship him.
Brother Liu Yu is really capable
"Now, Duan Ye's brother is doing well in Hexi. Lu Guang trusts him, Fu Hong trusts him, and he himself trusts his subordinates. His army is loyal and united, and his officials are honest and efficient.
It would be great if the little Dunhuang was governed by him, and he would not pick up the remains at night. It would be great if there was no one to restrain or interfere! Only in this way can people make full use of their talents and things, right?"
Li Mu nodded slightly. He agreed with this. In fact, he also had a deep understanding of it. He himself had no faction and was constrained in his past doing things. But if he also had a faction, then it is also conceivable that he might have been.
It's hard to govern independently, but in the final analysis, you have to listen to factions
"Liu Shuai" Li Mu said, "I think one day, adults can not only do it, but also surpass the achievements of Dunhuang."
When Liu Yu heard this, he stared at Li Mu's eyes and said seriously: "I hope this day too, but I need your help!"
"I really want to ask for it!"
"Then help me guard this Shouchun City first, hahahahaha" Liu Yu laughed and said with a loud laugh.
Li Mu also laughed, and the laughter spread far and far in the night sky...
Jiankang City, Wuyi Lane Xie'an Mansion
Xie An sat in the study, the oil lamp on the desk was flashing and dark, reflecting Xie An's already turbid eyes.
Xie An is also a little old. He is already 65 years old. His naughtiness in his youth, his ambition in his youth, his retirement in his prime, and his later re-emerging in the temple to turn the tide. The scenes of his life are quickly in his mind at this time.
It's so clear that it just happened
"Oh," Xie An sighed softly. Once a person starts to recall the past, he is really old. Once a person discovers the past, he is almost automatic, which means death is coming!
With a creak, the door was pushed open. When Xie An heard the steps, he knew that his daughter Xie Ling had arrived. As expected, Xie Ling walked in silently in white clothes.
"Ling'er" Xie An put down the book in his hand and showed a loving smile
"Father" Xie An was blessed with a blessed blessing, "I heard... Ji Nu was trapped in Shouchun?"
"Yes," Xie An gently rubbed the corners of his eyes, "I'll let him hold on for a few more days, at least seven or eight days. You know the situation in the court, alas."
Xie An's sigh made Xie Ling calculate in his heart. Once upon a time, Xie An always looked full of confidence. No matter how difficult the situation was, it was never difficult to get him. How could he have been so powerless?
But despite this, Xie Ling still said: "Father, it may be difficult for Shouchun to hold on for so long."
"But, Jingkou really can't send troops now. Ling'er, you know, it's not that I don't want to send troops."
Xie Ling was speechless. Of course she knew that what Xie An told the truth, but wouldn’t this put Liu Yu in an extremely dangerous position!
If Xie Ling had not been confident in his father's character and mind, he would almost doubt whether his father wanted to kill someone with a knife!
"Ling'er" Xie An smiled, "The so-called auspicious people have their own appearance. Liu Yu is a child I watched as growing up. His mind is tough enough and his ability is strong enough. The most important thing is that he is lucky enough.
He can turn bad luck into good fortune and bring good fortune in danger.”
"Hope so"
"Okay, let's talk about it easily," Xie An said: "Is there any news about Duan Ye recently?"
Xie Ling was a little surprised. It seemed that his father was really concerned about this boy. She said: "It is said that Fu Hong's son has appointed Duan Ye as the Hexi Pacification Envoy."
"Emphasis envoy?" Xie An touched his beard, a little strange
"Yes, this is an official position specially established for Duan Ye, and is a liberated official. The purpose is to represent Fu Hong to handle the affairs of Jincheng County and the miscellaneous Hu. There is no courtship and the matter will be cut off after the matter is completed," Xie Ling said.
"But what if the matter has not been finished? Didn't Duan Ye keep taking the imperial envoy's official position? This kid is smart?" Xie An said with a smile.
Xie Ling seemed to be feeling much better, and she couldn't help but smile
"By the way," Xie An thought for a while and said, "In this way, you'd better go to Liangzhou again."
"Ah?" Xie Ling was a little surprised. At this moment, Jiankang's political struggle had once again heated up, but his father asked him to go to Liangzhou. What is this for?
"Yes, you heard it right." Xie An became serious, "You may not be able to help you in Jiankang's situation now, because you know, this is simply a naked power struggle, and it has reached the point of biting each other.
At the moment, they were prepared and were full of momentum. They wanted to defeat them. If you were not here, there would be no loss. Because our Xie family was not so easy to be moved down, so it would be more meaningful to do something.
Something about it”
This actually makes sense. This time, Sima Daozi gathered almost all the forces against Xie An and launched an attack on the Xie family. There were traitors within the Xie family, and the situation was of course very serious.
But now it has reached the point of competing forces. Xie Ling is good at intelligence, investigation, planning, and assassination. These are not very useful in fierce political struggles, so she can indeed go freely.
"And" Xie An said, "Liangzhou has been very calm since the Han Dynasty, but recently, there have been accidents every now and then. I think there is something wrong with Duan Ye's rise is so rapid.
I think he is no longer a person who can be restricted in Liangzhou. It is not enough for you to observe such a person when he has not made a fortune. I hope you can take a closer look this time again
He, look at the quality of this person, see his ambitions, see how he thinks of us, this action is very important, do you understand?"
