Liu Yu gritted his teeth. Although there was a voice in his mind that kept reminding him that this Qinglong must be lying and could not be trusted, but the things he said were so true, connected to each other, and even
There isn't even the slightest flaw. Deep down in my heart, I believe it 70-80%.
Liu Yu looked at Qinglong and said in a deep voice: "From the death of Huan Wen to the formation of the Beifu Army by the Xie family, you have been lurking for more than ten years? I don't believe it, you are not such a tolerant person."
Xi Chao smiled slightly: "Of course not. I helped Xie An bring down Huan Wen. On the surface, everyone in the world thought that I, Xi Chao, was Huan Wen's mastermind. But in fact, I gained Xie An's trust. From then on, I
As Qinglong, I can do what I want to do and create the plans I want. Over the years, I have traveled back and forth between the Jin Dynasty and the Former Qin Dynasty, deploying countless positions. I have secretly discussed with Murong Chui many times how to raise armies.
This famous general, who also made it difficult for his country to surrender and his family to return, actually became my friend. There is nothing more ironic in the world than this."
"In addition, I secretly used the identity of Yanfeng to become Tuoba Shi Yijian's counselor in the Dai Kingdom. Originally, I wanted to use the power of the Dai Kingdom to communicate with Murong Chui and Yao Chang who were lurking in the Qin Kingdom.
, joined forces with the former Qin clan who were dissatisfied with Fu Jian's policy of getting closer to the Han people, and joined forces to raise an army. As long as there is chaos in the north, the Jin Dynasty will have no reason not to expedition north. At that time, I can go to Huan Chong's side to help him seize the Central Plains and Guanzhong, and then ask for orders to guard it.
In this way, I will have my own territory and strength, and then I can take revenge on Xie An."
Liu Yu sighed: "So, the chaos in the former Qin Dynasty before Feishui was planned by you?"
Xi Chao said bitterly: "According to my plan, Dai Guo first sent out a large army to attack the former Qin Dynasty, and then Fu Jian raised his troops to resist. At this time, Fu Luo Fu Lang in Youzhou took the opportunity to start an uprising, and Murong Chui
Join forces with Yao Chang to cause trouble in Guanzhong. If all three groups attack at the same time, the former Qin will be in chaos. At this time, our Jin Dynasty takes the opportunity to send troops, and at least we can capture all the land of Qilu in the Central Plains. But I didn't expect that Tuoba Shi Yijian was greedy for beauty and alienated
The sons he had with his former wife wanted to make the son of his wife Murong his heir, which caused civil strife. As a result, he did not launch a southern expedition, but instead let the Dai Kingdom be destroyed by the former Qin. Murong Chui, an old fox, did not dare to move again.
.”
"But Xie An saw an opportunity. He seemed to be aware of my connection with the north. Murong Chui didn't want to bet all his money on me, so he sought the possibility of direct contact with Xie An through me. This is how he came about.
What you will know later is that the Beifu Army was formed because Xie An and Murong Chui reached an agreement, and Murong Chui instigated the former Qin to go south. The Beifu Army took advantage of the water network of the Jianghuai River to fight at home and defeated the main force of the Qin army in one fell swoop.
Create opportunities for Murong Chui to cause trouble and raise troops."
"When the north was in chaos, Xie An had the opportunity to do the Northern Expedition. He imagined that he would be like Huan Wen back then and establish his own supreme merits through the Northern Expedition. He would use Liu Yu, a pure soldier with no political ambitions, and a bunch of powerful northern troops.
The refugees, plus the food, supplies, and ordnance that the Xie family has prepared for this day for twenty years, hey, it seems like nothing can stop Xie An."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said: "But I still stopped you, Xi Chao. On the one hand, you wanted to go to the Northern Expedition, but on the other hand, you stopped others from going to the Northern Expedition. Don't you feel shameful for your behavior? I won't say whether you are worthy of those who died in the war.
Soldiers, are you worthy of your own ideals and efforts many years ago?"
Xi Chao smiled slightly: "Ideal? Hard work? When I was young, I was full of passion, but I was used and calculated by others. The hero in my heart collapsed, and my ideals were disillusioned. When I look back, I have gray hair and my reputation is ruined.
In this darkness, I lived into my old age bearing the name of a rebellious minister. My family regarded me as a rebellious son, and the world laughed at me for all my troubles. Could it be that if I helped Xie An succeed in the Northern Expedition, would these things be able to come back? As early as Fangtou was captured,
At that time, I had already made a vow that one day I would make all those who framed me and betrayed me suffer ten times the pain of me!"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "The grudge between you and Xie Xianggong is your business, but we soldiers are innocent. You should never use the Northern Expedition as revenge for venting your personal grudges."
Xi Chao sneered: "There is nothing wrong or wrong. Xie An doesn't have any good intentions. He just wants to do the same thing as Huan Wen and use you young men like you to fight for him. What he did has violated the mafia's rules."
In principle, even if I don't take action, Suzaku and Baihu will not let him go. His failure was doomed from the moment his ambitions expanded and he wanted to leave the other three families and go it alone."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Can't you put aside these grievances for the time being and finish the Northern Expedition first before fighting again? Are you going to ruin this best opportunity in a century?"
Xi Chao laughed: "The best opportunity in a century? Liu Yu, let me tell you, this opportunity is not as good as my last one. Murong Chui's main force was not damaged. If I hadn't tipped him off and learned about the movements of the Beifu army,
He would choose to tighten his troops and guard the line of the Yellow River. At that time, your forward troops only had more than 10,000 troops, while Hou Yan had more than 100,000 troops, and more than 30,000 troops were equipped with armor and cavalry. Where do you have the confidence to succeed? Even if we do nothing, you
The final result is to stop the war on the Yellow River, Yecheng and Hebei, without even thinking about it."
Liu Yu knew that what he said was true, and sighed: "Even if we regain the Central Plains, it will be a great achievement. As long as we wait for the follow-up troops to follow up, we still have a chance. Even if it is not possible, it would be good to attack Bingzhou or enter Guanzhong."
choose."
Xi Chao sneered and said: "Such achievements are not enough for Xie An to be unparalleled in the world and overwhelm the popularity of the three of our families. He has been taking risks from the beginning, hoping to successfully attack Yecheng, so he did not overwhelm the army at all. Murong
How cunning and scheming is Chui? It's polite to stop you by blocking the Yellow River. He lets you go deep into Hebei, then cuts off your retreat, and surrounds you with cavalry. I'm afraid you won't be able to return with your armor. Liu Yu, you didn't understand the situation clearly at all. You always thought it was us.
You will lose if you are harmed. In fact, there is no possibility of regaining the north by force at all. The customs of the north and the south are very different, and the world has been in chaos for nearly a hundred years. The hearts of the people in the north do not want the Jin Dynasty at all, and the Hulu are powerful, and in the south
Without unification and unable to fully support the large-scale Northern Expedition, it is simply impossible to realize your dream of the Northern Expedition. The more I get to this point, the clearer I see it."
Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief: "Okay, Master Qinglong, I have finished listening to your story. Open the skylight and speak frankly. What do you want me to do?"
