Huan Xuan's expression changed: "What's wrong, Jingzu, you don't advocate fighting?"
Bian Fanzhi sighed: "Yes, just as Hu Fan said, Liu Yu is now winning consecutive battles and his arrogance is at its peak. Our famous generals have been killed in battle, our elite soldiers have been defeated, and the morale of the army is now shaken. These high-ranking families in Jiankang City,
It is also possible that we will take advantage of the situation again. Our situation is very dangerous now. If we take the initiative to fight, we will lose all our wealth. Even if we return to Jingzhou in the future, it will be difficult to turn around."
Huan Xuan gritted his teeth: "Then what do you think we should do? Do we have to surrender to Liu Yu and lose the imperial title?"
Bian Fanzhi shook his head: "No, of course this won't work. Since your Majesty has ascended the throne, there is no turning back. It is so cruel to become a king or lose a bandit. What I mean is that we can temporarily withdraw from Jiankang City and use the great power to defeat the enemy."
The Chu army escorts the families of the officers and soldiers of the Beifu Army and Xifu Army back to Jingzhou, and then allows the Beifu Army and Xifu Army to cut off their rear and confront Liu Yu. This is the best policy."
Huan Xuan opened his eyes wide: "What are you talking about? Do you want me to run away without a fight and give up Jiankang? Jingzu, have you lost your mind today and come up with such a bad idea?!"
Bian Fanzhi sighed: "This method sounds unacceptable, but I'm afraid it is your majesty's only correct choice. Liu Yu's army is at its peak. If we use the Chu army to fight, not to mention the outcome, the losses will be heavy. Once we lose
If we can suppress the strength of the Beifu Army and the Xifu Army, if Liu Yu lets these surrendered troops defect, we may not even be able to return to Jingzhou. Your Majesty's great cause is hard-won, Jingzhou is our foundation, and our lesson this time is
The reason is that Jiankang City is not our territory. If we want to control it by force, it will cause a backlash from people like Liu Yu. This is only on the surface. Secretly, those high-ranking families in Jiankang will also make various small moves, such as
Wang Mi, if this guy says he's ill and won't come to court today, isn't that just starting to leave a way out?"
Huan Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "When the country is in crisis, you can see the people's hearts. Wang Mi dares to play tricks with me. Well, I will kill his whole family first. This can be regarded as a warning to these wallflowers!"
Bian Fanzhi's expression changed: "Your Majesty, we must not force the high-ranking families in the city to rebel at this time. We can retreat to Jiankang once, and we can come back later. After all, Liu Yu was born in Qiu Ba, and no one cares about him."
Government, and clinging to the idea of seizing the family's land and nationalizing the fields, food, and manpower in Wudi's manor, will inevitably conflict with these high-ranking families. Now that the mafia has been destroyed, Wudi's manor,
It can be said that it is a land without an owner. The Huan clan and Yuancong heroes have not had time to control it much. This is actually a good thing. Throwing this meaty bone and letting Qiu Ba and the noble families bite it will give us a chance to breathe.
"
Huan Xuan nodded thoughtfully and said: "Well, this method sounds good. However, as the emperor, I have a large number of troops. I actually moved the capital and fled after losing some of the first battles. I am not afraid of people's hearts being shaken, and no one will do it again."
Are you following me?"
A clear female voice sounded from the back of the palace: "Your Majesty's words are very reasonable. We must not evacuate the capital at this time!"
Everyone turned their attention to the back hall, and saw Liu Tingyun, dressed as a queen, walking quickly from behind the screen in the back hall, without even a maid following her.
He bowed hastily and then glared at Bian Fanzhi!
Bian Fanzhi and others saluted Liu Tingyun, but there was a look of disapproval on their faces. Huan Xuan sighed and said: "Queen, this is discussing state affairs. You also know the rules of Da Chu. The harem does not
Can…………"
Liu Tingyun said coldly: "Your Majesty, I am not an ordinary harem. I only know how to have children and fight with women. Don't forget, we have been husband and wife for so many years, why do you spend most of your time?"
If you want to stay in Jiankang and you want me to work for your imperial hegemony, you didn't say I couldn't do politics."
When Liu Tingyun said this, she turned to look at Bian Fanzhi and sneered: "Shizhong Bian, tell me, am I qualified to express some opinions on His Majesty's country and the military affairs of Da Chu?"
Bian Fanzhi raised his head, looked at Liu Tingyun, and said: "Then, Queen Liu, are you speaking to Wei Chen here as the Queen of Dachu, or as a representative of a noble family in the capital?"
Huan Xuan gritted his teeth: "Bian Jingzu, although this is a private discussion, you are too rude to me and my queen. If it were at the court meeting, I can kill you right now!"
Bian Fanzhi said loudly: "Lingbao, it's your right to kill me, but now it's about the great cause of the country, so let's put aside these etiquettes. Since the queen denies my suggestion like this, she should be enough to convince me.
Your reason is that time is pressing and the military situation is tense. Please tell me quickly. You are right and of course I will comply."
Huan Xuan sighed and looked at Liu Tingyun: "What Jingzu said makes sense. If you have something to say, please say it quickly. You can't be careless at this time."
Liu Tingyun said in a deep voice: "My Liu family is not a first-class family in the capital, but I used to have a good relationship with Wang Miaoyin, so I could be considered to have a relationship with the Xie family. Later, because of reasons everyone knows, I turned against Wang Miaoyin, and I have not dared to do so for so many years.
I met him, but because of this, I developed relationships with many other aristocratic families. Part of it was my Liu family’s old connections in Jiankang for decades, and the other part was my husband’s reputation, which also attracted many families.
Take the initiative to invest, especially those from small and medium-sized aristocratic families such as Wang Tanzhi and Xie An, who have been overwhelmed by the big families, or the common people of big families, such as Wang Mi, Wang Xun family, Xi family, and Yu family.
I have a good relationship. His Majesty can achieve great things. When he first came to Beijing, these families also took the initiative to express their loyalty to Your Majesty through me. Has Shizhong Bian forgotten these things?"
Bian Fanzhi said solemnly: "At this time, at that time, Lingbao's army was at its peak, and Liu Laozhi surrendered his entire army. Everyone knew that his entry into the capital was unstoppable. As for peacetime, it was just a hedging bet.
Friendships that no one can offend are not ones that can be trusted with one's wealth and life. Just like what you said about Wang Mi, Queen. Isn't he just claiming to be sick and refusing to come, and is he planning to abandon us?"
Liu Tingyun smiled and said: "If he really wants to abandon us, he will flee the capital directly and go to Liu Yu. Bian Shizhong, I have been in Jiankang for decades, and I understand the thoughts of these high-ranking families.
From the bottom of their hearts, they will never accept that Liu Yu is superior to them. This is the dignity and pride of the family, do you understand?"
