Diao Xie's face turned green and white for a while, but finally he waved his hand bitterly: "Let's go!" He said, turned around, hit his horse and left.
The guards all turned around and followed Diao Xie with military steps, but many of them looked back at Liu Yu as they walked away, with a look of reluctance in their eyes.
Liu Yi made a military salute to Liu Yu on his horse and followed him away. Liu Yu put his hand on his chest and made a military salute. It took a long time until their figures disappeared around the corner of the official road, and then they slowly put them down.
Liu Daogui stepped forward and smiled at Liu Yu: "Brother, where have you been these years? Why don't you even send a letter to report? You want us to die."
Liu Yu nodded: "It's hard to say. Let's go back and speak slowly. By the way, what does Diao Xie want to do today? We here in Jingkou don't always tax the families of officials and soldiers. This is a national law."
Liu Daogui sighed: "My eldest brother has not been in Jin Dynasty these years and does not understand the new laws. Just a few months ago, after the death of Mr. Xianggong, the court issued new regulations. It said that the military exploits three years ago were not counted, and only three
Only those who have achieved military exploits of beheading or knighthood within the year will be exempted from tax."
Liu Yu frowned: "So, the military achievements made by our Beifu Army officers and soldiers in the Battle of Feishui and Yecheng in the past few years are not counted?"
Liu Daogui shook his head: "The Battle of Feishui is not counted because it was outdated. The Battle of Yecheng was within three years, but it was a defeat. The court said that a defeat will not be counted as military merit, and only a basic pension will be given."
Liu Yu's eyes widened and he clenched his fists tightly: "What? Our soldiers fought bloody battles and sacrificed their lives. Just because we lost, don't we even count our military merits?"
Liu Daogui sighed: "The Diao brothers said that this battle was lost because the soldiers looted things. Anyway, they had already looted enough. It would be nice if the country didn't want to go back. They still want rewards and tax exemptions. That's a dream!"
"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Isn't there someone who will stand up and lead the brothers to fight? We Jingkou men have always been strong-willed. When have we ever been bullied like this? What about Liu Yingyang? What about other generals?
?what are they doing?!"
Liu Daogui shook his head: "After Liu Yingyang was defeated, he was held responsible and exempted from being a commoner. Most of the other generals were the same. The best general, Sun Wuzhong, was demoted and stayed in the army. Naturally, he couldn't say anything. Only Liu Yi
Liu Xile......"
Liu Yu sighed: "I saw it. He was originally a proud and arrogant person, but now he is following Diao Xie. Although I heard the news on the grassland, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known it at all.
Those who don’t believe it.”
Liu Daogui said bitterly: "Now the King of Kuaiji and Wang Guobao have become ministers, and they have all the power. Even Marshal Xuan has passed away. No one in the Xie family is an official in the court now. Xie Yan is in mourning for his father and stays behind closed doors."
, the Beifu Army became an orphan that no one wanted. I heard from other elder brothers that Liu Yi had a heavy responsibility for the defeat of Yecheng. It was probably because he wanted to get away with it that he joined the Diao family. After all, now the Diao brothers
, but the popular man of King Kuaiji."
Liu Yu nodded: "But if Liu Yi is like this, the Beifu brothers who followed the Diao brothers to suppress Jingkou, aren't they afraid of chilling the hearts of the brothers?"
Liu Daogui sighed: "Yes, Brother Tan and Brother Wei originally took the lead and prepared to go to Beijing to ask for orders. They also asked Liu Muzhi to write a petition and asked Wang Zhenjun to send it to him. However, Liu Yi said that we were gathering a crowd.
There will be no good results if you start a rebellion. They suppressed it vigorously. As a result, the other eldest brothers were so angry that they went to Liu Jingxuan, who was still in the army, saying that they were going to Yecheng to assassinate Murong Chui and avenge you. Firstly, they were for you.
I wanted to seek revenge, and secondly I didn’t want to stay and suffer this nonsense. Later, Liu Jing announced that he was leaving on the sham, and the matter was settled. Those big brothers who could take the lead simply moved back to the army to train new recruits."
Liu Yu said seriously: "This time I was in a hurry to come back to see Wang Zhenjun, so I didn't go back to the military camp. I missed meeting all the brothers, but I think I will meet them soon. Let's go home first, mother and
Second brother, are you okay?"
Liu Daogui sighed: "Brother, I am not telling you that you will never come back. For ten years, my mother has been looking forward to you every day, shedding tears at night, and her eyes are almost going blind from crying."
Liu Yu's eyes sparkled with tears: "Loyalty and filial piety cannot have both, I'm sorry for him, let's go, Dao rules, now let's go back and kowtow to mother!"
A moment later, Liu Yu’s home.
Compared with ten years ago, this house is much more elegant. The original mud house with grass fence has been transformed into a tiled house with wooden fence, and the place is much spacious. Thanks to Liu Yu's rewards for his contribution in previous battles,
Liu Yu's family is much more prosperous than before. Even in Jingkou, where people generally have some wealth, they can be considered a well-off family.
Liu Yu's stepmother Xiao Wenshou, dressed in silk clothes, with tears in her eyes, looked at Liu Yu who was kneeling and kowtowing in front of her, and kept saying: "My slave, my slave, you are finally back."
ah."
After Liu Yu kowtowed for the last time, his eyes were filled with tears. He looked at Xiao Wenshou and his voice was choked with sobs: "Mother, my child is unfilial. I have been separated for many years and have only come back to kowtow to you."
Xiao Wenshou nodded excitedly, pointing at Liu Daolian and Liu Daogui who were standing aside, and said in succession: "Second brother, third child, your eldest brother is back. From now on, you brothers must work together and never do anything again."
separate."
Liu Daolian is already a young man in his twenties, but he is still the same as when he was a child, dragging his nose and saying with a naive smile: "Brother, you are here, don't leave once you are here."
Liu Yu stood up with a smile, took out his handkerchief, and wiped his nose like he did when he was a child: "I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving."
Liu Daogui glanced at Xiao Wenshou and stepped forward to support Liu Daolian: "Second brother, the eldest brother has just come back. Let's go set up a banquet for him and let mother and eldest brother talk for a while."
Liu Yu smiled slightly, knowing that this was the third brother leaving a space for him to speak.
After Liu Daolian and Liu Daogui left, Liu Yu's expression became sad and he sighed: "Is there no cure for the disease that my second brother suffered when he was young?"
Xiao Wenshou's eyes were filled with tears: "It's all my fault. I didn't manage this family well. I didn't let the second child get enough milk when he was a child. That's why this happened. I, I'm sorry for the second child."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "I will definitely look for famous doctors in my life to cure my second brother."
Xiao Wenshou sighed: "Jinnu, where have you been in these years? Some people say that you have rebelled against the country and surrendered to the enemy. What happened? There are only two of us here, mother and son. In front of your father's spiritual place, how can you
You can’t tell lies.”
Liu Yu stood up, pointed to the sky, and said loudly: "Liu Yu, the descendant of the Liu family, hereby swears to the heroic spirits of his ancestors that his children have never rebelled against the Jin Dynasty and surrendered to the enemy. If there is even half a word of lies, the sky will thunder and people will be killed."
Forsaken by God!".m.
