Suzaku took a deep breath and said coldly: "Do your best to stop Liu Yu's achievements in the north. Whether it is self-reliance or the Northern Expedition, other things can be slowed down, but Liu Yu must not be allowed to gain a firm foothold. Next, we
My energy can only be busy with various infighting in Jiankang and Jingzhou, Liu Yu can only leave it to our future Lord Qinglong."
Xuanwu said coldly: "Did you overestimate Lu Xun? With him alone, can he stop Liu Yu?"
Zhuque smiled slightly: "Don't forget where the strength of Tianshi Dao comes from. It comes from those foolish village women among the people. Back then, they were able to fool Tan Pingzhi, and people like Wei Yongzhi left their homes and careers to go south.
This proves its huge influence among the people. In the Jin Dynasty, this influence threatened the foundation of our family, so we banned preaching and limited the number of dojos to control it. However, in the north, especially where wars are frequent, people
In the Central Plains where people are in danger, the influence of Tianshi Dao has grown like a weed in recent years, and no one can stop it."
Bai Hu nodded: "Yes, in troubled times, all social order collapses. Benevolence, justice, etiquette and wisdom cannot restrain those beast-like bandits and stragglers. If you want to survive, you can only rely on the mutual help of the weak. In Yecheng,
After the war, the three masters of Tianshi Dao did not return to the south of the Yangtze River. Instead, they developed followers everywhere in the Central Plains. Their disciples stayed in many forts and villages. Once they were attacked, they rescued each other. With this method, they
There are a large number of believers in the Central Plains, and even Ding Ling and Zhang Yuan do not dare to provoke them easily."
Zhuque nodded: "This was Lu Xun's idea. Sun Tai wanted to develop in the south and wanted to curry favor with Sima Daozi. However, Lu Xun was originally from the north and his vision was much higher than that of his master. Therefore, I have been paying attention to him for a long time.
Now, if Liu Yu wants to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, it is not a military issue, but an economic issue."
Xuanwu laughed: "Yes, as long as we don't provide military rations to the defenders in Luoyang, then Liu Yu will not be able to stand. Even if Liu Yu is the God of War, he can win every battle, but he can't conjure up magic by blowing his breath.
With the supply of military rations for tens of thousands of troops coming out, even Xie An’s Northern Expedition has to ask our major families to provide food and strength. Liu Yu doesn’t even have the support of our family. The only thing he can count on is that his father in the Central Plains is old."
Suzaku nodded: "So Lu Xun doesn't have to conflict with him head-on. As long as the fortress owners refuse to provide military rations to Liu Yu's Luoyang garrison, Liu Yu will not be able to stay there. He will have to take it with him
His old brothers came back in despair and let him know that without the help of our family, he could not do anything. Even if we did not do anything to ruin his affairs, he could not solve the army's logistics and supply problems. Let him
Only when they hit a wall in the north did they realize the necessity of cooperating with us. The Central Plains could not stand still, so they could only humbly surrender to Wang Gong when they came back. At that time, Huan Xuan and Wang Chen joined forces, and Jingzhou became a powerful foreign aid for the Taoist Party. Wang Gong
With Liu Yu and Liu Laozhi in charge of Beifu, both sides want to use the military power at hand to achieve success and eliminate their dissidents, so a civil war will begin."
Bai Hu smiled slightly: "Yes, if we don't fight a civil war, we don't know which families want to join the emperor or Sima Daozi. If we don't eradicate these disloyal and disobedient guys, our Black Hand Qiankun won't be able to survive for long.
.I think Wang Guobao just has a different intention and wants to be the sole leader instead of maintaining the interests of all the big families. Humph, he doesn’t even think about whether he has the ability to sit firmly if he really wants to dominate the family."
Suzaku nodded: "Yes, so we must let this civil war begin. Fighting a war can buy us fifty years of stability, and also stop Emperor Sima's desire to counterattack and seize power. From now on, he can be his peace of mind
Just be a puppet. After everything is stable, it is not impossible to consider letting Liu Yu go on the Northern Expedition, but he will never be allowed to send troops now. Hum, even if he wants to make great achievements, he must be under our control and manipulation. We will give him
He can have what’s his, but he can’t take what we don’t give him.”
Xuanwu curled his lips: "But what if Sima Daozi uses Sun Tai now? You may be able to control Lu Xun, but you can't control Sun Tai."
A cold light flashed in Suzaku's eyes: "Sun Tai is also a man who is eager for quick success. Sima Daozi does not fully trust him, and will not give him power immediately and let him develop for a while. Tianshi Dao now has three masters developing in the north.
But Sun Tai and his son are in charge of the south. If this continues, sooner or later something will happen internally, so don’t worry about it for the time being. As for Huan Xuan, he is more useful to us now alive than dead. If he can join forces with Wang Chen to capture Jingzhou, then this civil war will
, it’s just a matter of time, just leave Liu Yu to take care of him later.”
Bai Hu nodded: "What should Wang Gong do? He has used Liu Laozhi to collect a lot of scattered soldiers, bandits and horse thieves. The Beifu Army has created a mess for him. If these bandits want to eliminate Wang Guobao on a whim,
If we take advantage of the opportunity to enter Jiankang and grab it, wouldn’t that be the recurrence of Su Jun’s disaster?”
Zhuque smiled slightly: "Liu Laozhi doesn't have the guts. Wang Gong may be impulsive, but Liu Laozhi never dares to really attack the capital. In his heart, the aristocratic family is the king. I just need to use a little trick to do it."
Let him be obedient and stop acting rashly. When we need a civil war, let them fight again. I believe we can still do this."
Bai Hu suddenly said: "But if Lu Xun can't stop Liu Yu, or he doesn't want to stop Liu Yu and lets Liu Yu succeed in the north, what should we do?"
A cold light flashed in Zhuque's eyes: "Then get rid of Lu Xun decisively, and then find a way to recall Liu Yu and let Wang Gong change the Central Plains. Bring Liu Laozhi's new Beifu army there, and he, Wang Chen and Huan Xuan
Being close together makes it easier to fight."
Xuanwu curled his lips: "It seems that everything has been thought of for you. I have nothing more to say. There is only one last question left. Is Qinglong's whereabouts now? How is your investigation going?"
Suzaku shook his head: "My spies have been searching around the grassland, but there is no clear news. If Qinglong is still alive, unless he is willing to show up, we will not be able to track and capture him, but now I am getting more and more
I believe that Qinglong is not dead. Otherwise, how could Huanxuan escape so easily? Now that Huanxuan also knows that we are going to take his life, there is only one possibility for him to dare to come back, and that is Qinglong's old intelligence organization, which can be handed over to him.
Yes, these people can keep him safe, or at least allow him to return to Jingzhou alive, so Lord Baihu’s suggestion just now that we send out killers to get rid of Huan Xuan is in vain."
Xuanwu gritted his teeth: "If Qinglong is still alive, what will we do? Don't you want Lu Xun to be the new Qinglong?"
A murderous intention flashed in Zhuque's eyes: "There must be a road to the mountain. Maybe we can make a new deal with our old friend." .m.
