Liu Laozhi's expression changed, and now even Gao Su's brows were furrowed. Indeed, the four-pronged conqueror was far superior to a general like General Jianwu. I think back then, even Cao Cao's young man
At that time, the ambition was just to become a general in the Western Conquest. In addition to the chariot generals and hussar generals of the Han Dynasty, these four generals can already be said to be the most senior generals in a country, and in the current Jin Dynasty, they are even more
There is no general whose name begins with "Zheng".
It's just that the word "Zheng" is followed by "西". It's self-evident who is on the west. It's self-evident that Liu Laozhi is given the title of "Zhengxi General" and what he is asked to do.
Gao Su curled up his lips and said: "Prefect Zhang, our current commander-in-chief is the Zhenbeijiang Army, and he is in charge of the Beifu Army, in order to protect the family and the country. Not only the commander-in-chief, but also Xie Zhenjun back then, who was awarded the title of General of the Zhenjun Army,
Governor Beifu. Now suddenly we have to add a general to conquer the west. Although it is a great honor, but..."
Zhang Fashun coughed dryly, interrupted Gao Su, and said: "This General of the Expedition to the West is to reward Marshal Liu for his achievements in pacifying the demon thieves of Tianshi Dao for many years. Our Jin Dynasty, as well as His Royal Highness King Kuaiji and the Crown Prince
Your Highness, there are clear rewards and punishments. If you have merit, you must be promoted and rewarded. Marshal Liu is truly worthy of the post of General of the Conquest of the West. I hope you can guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and make new achievements again!"
On Liu Laozhi's purple face, his expression changed slightly: "Now that the monster thieves have been basically pacified and the country is at peace, it is time to recuperate and resume post-war production. May I ask Governor Zhang, what do you mean by making new contributions?
what for?"
Zhang Fashun laughed loudly: "Marshuai Liu, Marshal Liu, we are all smart people, and yet we have to explain so clearly what we are doing. Conquering the west, conquering the west, the Jin Dynasty is far from peace. Where is the real enemy? You really
Don’t you know?”
Liu Yu said coldly: "According to Governor Zhang's opinion, the enemies of the Jin Dynasty are not the Hulu in the north, but in the west. Are you referring to the Governor Huan of Jingzhou?"
Zhang Fashun nodded with satisfaction: "General Jianwu still sees through it. In fact, you should know Huanxuan's thoughts best. I remember that when we were on the stage, you criticized Huanxuan's ambitions. This time you guys
The Beifu army fought bloody battles with monsters and thieves in the land of Wu, but Huanxuan actually ordered the murder of Yang Quanqi, the governor of Yongzhou, and Yin Zhongkan, the governor of Jingzhou, which was already a crime of treason. Not only that, he also cut off the food supply to Yangzhou, trying to trap him.
Death, starvation to death of your Beifu army, have you forgotten this deep hatred?"
Liu Yu sighed: "Prefect Zhang, are you here to deliver the order? Is it a formal edict from the court, or is it a private decision by His Royal Highness?"
Zhang Fashun's face changed, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Jianwu General Liu Yu, please pay attention to your words. Now His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is the minister and is in charge of the government. However, all decisions must be submitted to His Majesty in the end.
Gai Yuxi, this is the official emperor's order, not his personal one. By saying this, do you doubt this order?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Then I would like to ask Governor Zhang, will it be that after my commander-in-chief accepts the official position of General of the Expedition to the West, he will have to assemble the Beifu army and march westward to attack Jingzhou?"
Zhang Fashun curled up his lips and said, "How could I, the prefect of Lujiang, know about these court discussions? I only know that the court has issued an order to appoint Marshal Liu as General of the Western Conquest, and I just want Marshal Liu to accept it. And I myself
I just came here to deliver the message."
Liu Yu also put away his smile and said coldly: "If I remember the imperial decree correctly, the edict should be conveyed to the army by the palace servant or Huangmen Shilang. It seems that Zhang Taishou is both
If you are not a chamberlain or a chamberlain of Huangmen, why should you convey this will?"
Zhang Fashun gritted his teeth and looked at Liu Laozhi: "Marshal Liu, everyone knows some things well, so there is no need to explain it too clearly. Since you resigned from Wang Gong's subordinates, over the years, His Royal Highness has treated you
You must be aware of this. It is not that the prince wants to do anything to Huan Xuan now, but that Huan Xuan has a treasonous intention and wants to seize power in the capital after monopolizing Jingzhou. Instead of waiting for other troops to become stronger and colluding with foreign enemies to attack, it is better to take advantage of the situation now.
After the victory, the morale will be high and we will attack them. In this way, the Jin Dynasty can have long-term peace and stability, and you and I can enjoy long-term wealth and honor. Having said that, I hope that after being promoted, Marshal Liu can worry more about military affairs. Once the court orders, then
You must be ready to go to war at any time.”
Having said this, he put the edict in his hand into He Wuji's hand, turned around and left. The light outside the tent changed, and his figure had disappeared outside the tent.
Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth and said angrily: "This guy is so rude! He dares to act wild in our Beifu army. I will go and capture him right now and teach him how to behave in the military camp!"
Liu Yu smiled slightly, stopped Liu Jingxuan and said, "Did you meet this person on the first day? Isn't it because Sima Yuanxian has such a stupid and greedy villain around him that he is like this?"
Liu Jingxuan stomped his feet bitterly and turned to look at Liu Laozhi: "Father, Commander-in-Chief, you are right. Sima Yuanxian really wants us to fight Huan Xuan."
Liu Laozhi sighed and looked at He Wuji: "Wuji, what do you think?"
He Wuji looked solemn and said: "Huan Xuan really deserves to die. The soldiers and horses of Jingzhou have made enemies of our Beifu Army many times. The conflict in Jingyang started from the founding of the Jin Dynasty and continues to this day. It can be said to be a century-old grudge. But now
, is not a good time to start a war. The land of Wu is in ruins and cannot provide a large amount of military rations. Huanxuan only needs to stick to the stronghold and control the river, and it will be difficult for us to break through. What's more terrible is that Shichu Wuming, Sima Yuanxian single-handedly provoked Tianshi Dao.
However, he did not make any apology or make amends for the chaos. The monsters and thieves tried to seize the land of the family before the war was over. They have lost all their hearts. Our Beifu army is a loyal army and cannot help the tyrants to do evil. At this time, we must not go to conquer Jingzhou for him!
"
Gao Su sighed: "But don't forget, this time they have the imperial edict in their hands, representing the imperial will. We are not disobeying Sima Yuanxian, but disobeying the imperial order. Don't we become rebels?"
"
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Back then, Wang Guobao issued an order in the name of the imperial court to attack Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan. Is it possible that our Beifu Army also has to carry out such imperial edicts?"
Gao Su was choked and speechless, and Liu Laozhi sighed: "That's it, I have made up my mind. I want to see His Highness the Prince in person and explain these truths. The Western Expedition is absolutely impossible!"
