Xi Sengshi was so angry that he was itching his teeth: "This Liu Yu is too disrespectful. He wants to occupy the governor of Yangzhou for his Northern Expedition. How can there be such a reason? I will write to your majesty right away and ask your majesty and Langya to
The king has issued an order to reject Liu Yu’s memorial to appoint himself as the governor of Yangzhou. Even if someone from the Sima clan, such as Sima Xiuzhi, is appointed as the governor of Yangzhou, it cannot fall into Liu Yu’s hands!"
Meng Chang said coldly: "Huituo, don't be impulsive. We all know that the Jin Dynasty has always had the idea of leading the governor from afar. Besides, Liu Yu first added himself as a chariot general, and then led the army to the Northern Expedition, taking the post of governor of Yangzhou for mobilization.
Yangzhou's manpower and material resources have no leverage. Now that Liu Yu has great power, He Wuji is also standing with him. If he insists on confronting him, he is afraid that he will be accused of sabotaging the Northern Expedition.
I can’t even keep my current title.”
Xie Hun looked at Xi Sengshi who was stunned, with a cold glint in his eyes: "This Liu Yu is really bullying others too much. If he insists on having his own way, then we have to follow what was said at the meeting that day. Our noble family has too much time to take care of itself.
The remaining grain cannot support his Beifu army. Even the immigrant estates in the six counties of Jiangbei under the name of our family will not give him a grain of rice or a ding. This three-year tax exemption in Jiangbei is his own rule. He wants to make the Northern Expedition.
It's his business, we don't care about it!"
Liu Yi frowned and looked at Meng Chang without answering Xie Hun's words: "Is that all? Did Liu Yu do anything to appease him?"
Meng Chang nodded: "Yes, he gave Wuji a piece of Su Wujie to commend Wuji's mother for her loyalty during the establishment of justice. This order was issued through Queen Wang, and Su Wujie was also named after Sima.
I think Wuji will be very moved when he hears this news. In addition, Wang Hong and Zhang Yu from Liu Yu's Cavalry General's Mansion were transferred to Wuji's Zhennan Jiang Military Mansion to serve as Jiang's generals.
The governor and long history of the prefecture, local prefecture and county."
Liu Yi sneered and said: "Sure enough, it's the same old trick, win over Wuji first. Huh, this time he went on the Northern Expedition. He didn't use Wuji's soldiers, and he didn't want Wuji's food. Instead, he gave him Su Wujie and his capable men. If I were
Ji will not object to him. But, what did he give me?"
Meng Chang said sternly: "He said that he would request the emperor to confer the title of General Guard on you and be responsible for guarding the rear during the Northern Expedition."
Liu Yi's eyes lit up: "What, General Wei? That means that the defense of the capital is all handed over to me?"
Meng Chang nodded: "Exactly, including Jingkou, Jiankang, and your original defense of Yuzhou, they are all now in your hands. It can be said that Liu Yu wanted a nominal governor of Yangzhou, but during his Northern Expedition,
The important task of truly keeping the rear and controlling the capital is in your hands, Liu Xile."
Xie Hun said dissatisfiedly: "If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. This is just to use a delaying tactic to temporarily win over and appease Xi Le. Let us not make trouble with him at this time. When he comes back from the Northern Expedition, he will definitely take back this power. Hum.
, He wants to stir up internal disputes among us and use Xile to suppress the high-ranking families in the city."
Xi Le said bitterly: "Xile, I think since the rear has been given to you, and even the Queen and the Queen have gone with him, why don't we issue an edict in the name of the emperor and let Liu Yu stay here regardless of victory or defeat?"
In the north, if you capture Nanyan, let him be the governor of Qingzhou. He will move out of Qilu, and the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion will also move there. If you lose, there will be more reasons to let him take the blame and perform meritorious service, and stay in Pengcheng for a long time. As long as Liu Yu cannot return to the capital, we will have plenty.
Find a way to deal with him."
Meng Chang shook his head: "How can it be so easy? Now that Xu Xianzhi is King Langya and joins the army, he is the chess piece that Liu Yu has laid out long before the Northern Expedition. With him here, he will never let Sima Dewen listen to us so easily.
.Moreover, the families of the Beifu Army officers and soldiers are all in Jingkou. If you don’t let Liu Yu come back, even if you don’t let tens of thousands of troops come back, aren’t you afraid that the officers and soldiers will mutiny directly?”
Monk Xi was so choked that he couldn't speak. Meng Chang looked at Liu Yi and said, "Xile, I think Jinu's arrangement is to appease you, but it also gives us a face during his Northern Expedition.
During this period, you can legitimately guard the capital, and in the name of concentrating resources to support the Northern Expedition, you can allocate some industries in the Wudi area to the eight brothers in Jing, and slowly transfer them to the hands of the aristocratic families. This time, if the Northern Expedition to Qingzhou is successful,
, there will be a large amount of newly occupied land to settle the heroes. If it fails, many brothers will die in the battle, or they will be defeated and seize the title. For the Wu family, it will be an opportunity to expand their industry."
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Moreover, I can also recruit and form new troops in the name of recruiting troops to support the front line, and select elite and talented people to join my subordinates to increase my strength. There is no good reason to expand the army in peacetime.
, and even had to disband a lot of troops because of the temporary peace. But this time, with the righteous name of the Northern Expedition, I can train 30,000 to 50,000 elite troops in about a year, plus my current troops.
A horse is enough to compete with a slave."
Xie Hun gritted his teeth: "But, what good does this do to our noble family? Didn't Liu Yu say that only by fighting in wars and making meritorious deeds will he be given a title, and with the title can he occupy the land. In this way, his subordinates will have more land in the future.
Thousands of people have won the land, but aren’t they coming back to steal our territory?”
Meng Chang said calmly: "So the non-cooperative approach you just mentioned is a big mistake. Merit does not necessarily mean going out to kill the enemy. Being able to provide food and soldiers in the rear is also merit. Look at that Yu Yue
, this time with hundreds of servants, they joined Liu Yu's military government in order to gain enough benefits for themselves in this Northern Expedition. Mr. Xie, Mr. Xi, times have changed now. In the past, noble families
The good days of doing whatever you want are gone forever. Liu Yu can complete the Northern Expedition without your support. If he wins, more people participating in the Northern Expedition will be allowed to share your interests. I advise you not to join the Northern Expedition.
It's better to confront him on this kind of thing."
Xi Sengshi said bitterly: "Are we just allowed to be manipulated by him and bow to him?"
Meng Chang shook his head: "No, it's just to support him with some military rations, and give it to some civilians as a token. It's just like using some rations to give some villagers a three-month holiday. This won't cause much loss to you."
.If you win, you will be a meritorious minister, and you will get more benefits and benefits, including those in Qingzhou and Jiangbei. The large number of able-bodied enemy men captured after the destruction of Yan will be your new manpower. If defeated, it will be
Liu Yu's responsibilities, and you contribute grain and labor to the country, you can also take the opportunity to ask Liu Yu to compensate for losses and take responsibility. Even if you cannot oust him, you can force him to give up more power. For example, in the Jiangbei area
Giving up more land to compensate for your losses, no matter how you look at it, it is a good thing to make sure you make money without losing money."
