Liu Yu looked motionless at Liu Yi, whose face was full of excitement. The shadow area in his heart was constantly expanding. Sure enough, what he just thought was right. This old comrade wanted to use the merits of the Western Expedition to once again become the second best person in the world.
status, and even now he is thinking of incorporating Yu Yue into the Tiandao Alliance and wiping out the entire Yu family like the Wang family of Taiyuan, in order to deter other aristocratic families and make friends with high-ranking families like Xie Hun who have always been at odds with Yu Yue.
, thinking that the helping hand will sooner or later challenge his position as the first person in the Jin Dynasty, and even become the biggest obstacle to his becoming emperor.
But Liu Yu also knew very well that at this time, it was not a good time to openly fall out with Liu Yi. After all, he had made great achievements in defending the city this time, but now Liu Yi's power was limited to those in the capital.
The subordinates who have been planning for many years are old. I am so anxious to be the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition. I still want to take the opportunity of pacifying the demon thieves and capture many of the demon thieves' soldiers and horses for use. Just like the last Western Expedition, set off
At that time, there were less than 10,000 soldiers, but after Huan Chu was destroyed, there were nearly 50,000 troops, enough to occupy a state and become a great warlord.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu smiled slightly and said: "Xile, you worked hard and achieved great results during the last Western Expedition, but the situation this time is different. I think it is more appropriate for me to go on the expedition while you stay in the capital."
Liu Yi's expression changed slightly and he said: "Why is this? Didn't you just stay in the capital last time and let me go on an expedition? I think the situation this time is different from last time."
Liu Yu said calmly: "The situation this time is completely different from last time. Last time Huan Xuan sent away all the main forces of Jingzhou in Jiankang. Even the two generals Wu Fuzhi and Huangfu Fu died in battle and fled back.
When we conquered Jingzhou, there were almost no troops to follow, so what we needed was to pursue and fight hard, using most of the troops in our hands to march westward. And because we had just succeeded in establishing Yi at that time, there were not only high-ranking families in and around the capital, but also many former
The prisoners left behind during Sun En's Rebellion. If we all go out, no one can suppress them, and there may be chaos in the rear. Therefore, I personally guarded Jiankang at that time, and let you, Wuji, and Daogui lead our troops respectively.
The Western Expedition is like this, right?"
Liu Yi nodded: "Yes, it was indeed like this back then, but the situation today is no different. Do you not trust me? You think I lost to Xu Daofu once and the whole army was wiped out, so I can't defeat these demon thieves."
Are you done?" At this point, his neck turned a little red, and his voice became obviously higher. It was obvious that he was a little angry and excited.
Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Xile, don't get excited. If I had doubts about your ability, how could I still completely entrust half of the city's defense to you when you almost returned to Jiankang alone?
What? And didn’t you do a good job this time? Over this period of time, our brothers have worked together to defeat the demon thieves and defend the city of Jiankang. You have half of it and I have half of it. Xu Daofu is just
Last time I used Liu Tingyun, a spy, and I was lucky enough to succeed. If we fight head-on, how can I be your opponent, Xile?!"
Liu Yi's expression softened slightly, but he still said dissatisfied: "In this case, you should give me a chance to take revenge, so that I can personally eliminate Lu Xun, Xu Daofu is the right one. The grudge against them started before he surrendered to the army in Beifu.
This has just begun. The feud that has lasted for decades should finally be put to an end."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Yes, I want to put an end to it, so I decided to put an end to them personally. I also want to settle all the grievances Sun En, and even Sun Tai, have had with the demon thieves since then!"
Liu Yi's expression changed: "You, you want to personally lead the expedition?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "Yes, I had a big feud with them when we were at the Yingou Casino in Jingkou. At that time, they were bribed by bastards like Diao Kui and Wang Guobao to take over Jingkou and set up a trap. He framed Bottle and Rabbit, and wanted to trap all the refugees from the north into their homes and make them slaves for generations. Have you not forgotten this?"
Liu Yi and Xu Xianzhi looked at each other and said, "Of course I will never forget that you gave yourself a hundred lashes and saved the bottle and the rabbit."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Yes, from that time on, I have had a grudge against these monster thieves. Later, for the sake of justice and resistance to the Hulu, I could temporarily put aside my hatred and cooperate with them or even fight side by side, but They did not care about the country's favor, provoked a rebellion, raised troops in the three Wu lands, and caused a huge wave of blood. It is no wonder that I, together with their old and new grudges, put down the rebellion for the country."
Liu Yi's face turned slightly red and he lowered his head in silence. Obviously, he still felt guilty about what happened in Wuzhuang.
Liu Yu looked at Liu Yi, smiled, took his hand, and patted the back of his hand gently: "Brother Xile, don't worry, you are doing it under Liu Laozhi's command for Wuzhuang. And now it seems that Liu Laozhi was probably controlled and instigated by Xie Xuan as Doupeng, so he gave such an order. If you don't obey, your own life will not be protected at that time. I have told you this before That’s it, it’s over, no need to mention it again.”
Liu Yi gritted his teeth and raised his head: "It's also my fault that I was obsessed for a moment and believed Liu Laozhi's words, saying that you would always suppress my future, and even thought that you were self-righteous and wanted to win people's hearts and split the Beifu Army. That's why you would help him. If I had known that the soldiers he ambushed in Wuzhuang were monster thieves and not his personal guards, I would not have done this even if I were beaten to death."
Liu Yu nodded: "It's all in the past, no need to mention it anymore. We have all seen the evil done by these demon thieves in the land of Sanwu. The once blessed land from heaven has turned into a hell on earth due to the disaster, so we have been He tried his best to fight against the thieves, and even developed a deep hatred against them."
Xu Xianzhi's eyes turned red, perhaps thinking of his relatives who died in the riot, especially his father. He wiped his eyes and said to Liu Yu: "Since you hate monster thieves so much, why did you do it later?" Let Lu Xun and Xu Daofu escape into the sea?"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "That was a last resort. It was not that I wanted to let them go, but that I really had no way to intercept them. Just like in the battle of Yuzhou, I originally wanted to wipe out all the demon thieves and leave no one behind. But if they can't be defeated, they can still get on the boat and escape. Although their main force is wiped out, they can still escape into the sea. If they find that kind of island, there is nothing I can do. The chaos of Tianshi Dao spreads all over the land of Sanwu. On the surface, it is a monster. Thieves confuse people's hearts, but in fact, the ones who push thousands of people to the side of monsters and thieves are not greedy high-ranking families? If everyone is loyal, how can there be hundreds of thousands or millions of people? What if the people follow the demon thieves and cause chaos? It is easy to get rid of the thieves in the mountains, but it is difficult to get rid of the thieves in the heart."
