Liu Yu looked calm and said calmly: "Fat man, thank you for this advice. You are not the first to say it, nor are you the last to say it. But no matter how many people tell me this, I have only one answer, and that is
No."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Liu Muzhi's eyes: "I knew this would be the result. The Northern Expedition is the dream in your heart, and you will not give up. But you must know that this Northern Expedition is not the last Feishui War."
The road ahead is dangerous and the night is long, and what awaits you is probably failure."
Liu Yu nodded: "I know, maybe three years ago, I would have listened to you and not joined in the fun, but after I saw the situation in Chang'an, my conscience could not keep me away from this action.
Hebei has been fighting for more than three years and is more damaged than Guanzhong. The tragedy in Chang'an will inevitably happen again in Hebei. I can't just watch the people there suffer. My conscience can't stand it."
Liu Muzhi frowned slightly: "But as I said, the situation this time is not good. The emperor and other big families are causing trouble behind. The Xie family can be said to be alone, without any support from the people, and they face many enemies.
Then there is Fu Jian, who loves great achievements and is benevolent and righteous, but Murong Chui, who is ruthless and unscrupulous. Although it seems that we have an advantage now, I have a very bad feeling that this time the Northern Expedition will not be able to compete for full success."
Liu Yu shook his head: "We are not alone, Fu Pi promised to help."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Can you trust Fu Pi? I can't. He would rather stay in Yecheng than go back to Guanzhong. I don't think he will give up if he is given some food and grass. Moreover, judging from Fu Pi's contact with us
Look, when Liu Yi negotiated the conditions, he did not discuss them with himself, but with his subordinate Jiang Rang, who joined the army. This man is Han, and his conditions may not really be approved by Fu Pi."
Liu Yu's expression changed: "You mean, Jiang Rang might have negotiated a peace secretly without telling Fu Pi?"
Liu Muzhi's expression was serious: "It's not possible, but almost certain. Fu Pi will never give up Yecheng at this time. If he hadn't come up with a delaying strategy, Jiang Rang would have negotiated a peace in private. From what I have said to Fu Pi,
Judging from my understanding, this person is impulsive and has no city government. He is 80% unable to implement a delaying strategy. If Jiang Rang made the agreement behind his back, Fu Pi would definitely regret it after learning the truth. When the Northern Expeditionary Army is in Hebei, it will
We face two powerful enemies, Qin and Yan, at the same time, instead of pulling one to fight the other."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "This matter must be reported to Mr. Xuan Gong and Commander Xuan, otherwise something big may happen."
Liu Muzhi smiled and shook his head: "Can't you see it as my husband and Xuan Shuai? But even if you know this, you still have no choice but to go to the north because there is no other choice. Liu Yi told me that when the time comes, the food and grass
Put it at Liyang Ferry in the south and let Fu Pi pick it up by himself, while we took the opportunity to occupy Yecheng. As long as Yecheng fell into our hands, there was nothing Fu Pi could do. Also, even if Jiang Rang didn't let Fu Pi
I know this, but at least it is an internal response. When necessary, Fu Pi can be taken down, and the internal response is coordinated with the outside."
Liu Yu's face was as dark as water and he shook his head: "That would be too dangerous. To use this method to form an alliance with others is treachery. I would rather have an upright duel on the battlefield. Moreover, the soldiers and civilians of Yecheng are under Fu Pi's control.
He has worked hard under his leadership for many years, and he is very prestigious. If Jiang Rang wants to rebel, the possibility of success is very small."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "So the road ahead is full of obstacles. The fundamental reason why Mr. Xianggong and the others persuaded the emperor and reluctantly agreed to the Northern Expedition is that there are people in Hebei to support him, so our army will not go deep alone. But if Fu Pi is not reliable, then really
It's dangerous. I think Marshal Xuan hopes to cross the Yellow River first. Even if he can't take Yecheng, he can at least occupy the ferry crossings of Liyang as a stronghold for advancing. When the army behind them arrives, the army will bring a lot of food and grass, and rely on
These are used to win the people of Hebei to come and submit."
Liu Yu sighed: "Murong Chui is a famous general and will not give us this chance. With the Yellow River at his back, there is no danger to defend. If we are attacked from the front, if we fail, we will not even have a way out. This is exactly what Huan Wen failed last time."
The reason is that we cannot repeat it. If the timing is really wrong, we would rather not go to the Northern Expedition than give away the elite Beifu Army who have been fighting for a long time. These 20,000 elite soldiers are a powerful force that can sweep the world.
If all the hard work is gone, not only will the Northern Expedition fail, but the power of the Xie family will also disappear overnight."
Liu Muzhi put away his smile and said solemnly: "So this time the Xie family not only bet on the Beifu Army, but also on the family fortune. If it really fails, you'd better not be so close to the Xie family. This is also
This is one reason why I advise you not to do this Northern Expedition."
Liu Yu frowned: "Are you going to say Miaoyin? I didn't marry her because of the power of the Xie family. You should know this. She and I are in love and truly love each other."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "But how can outsiders know what happened between you? The world only knows that the new generals of the Beifu Army, Liu Yu and Liu Jinu, married Queen Miaoyin, the noble wife of the Xie family and the Wang family, and you are in the Beifu Army.
Your record is also because the Xie family has given you a lot of opportunities. There are many men and women in this world who have never even met before getting married. How many people can have a love like yours? Even if someone knows it, not many people will.
admittedly."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Then, for the future of me and Miaoyin, I have to do my best to help this Northern Expedition. Otherwise, if the Xie family loses power, her future life will be difficult, and I can't let her suffer. Besides,
Even if I don’t participate in the Northern Expedition, no one will think that I have nothing to do with the Xie family. This is unavoidable. Fatty, you stay here and I will help Xuan Shuai!"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "I'm afraid, Marshal Xuan won't reuse you in this Northern Expedition. It's not a matter of whether you think about it or not."
Liu Yu's expression changed: "How is that possible? You already said that this time is very difficult. It's not like Commander Xuan doesn't know. How could he not use me?"
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly, and he turned to look at the Chinese army camp. He saw Liu Yi, dressed in mail and with a spring breeze on his face, saluting and talking to the newly arrived veterans of the Beifu Army from time to time, looking very affectionate.
.
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Xile did a good job this time, but even if he is the pioneer, I will not be left behind."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "If he uses you again, it will greatly reduce his achievements. On the battlefield, even if you are just a soldier, you can be more popular than the general. This is something that has been proven many times before. I
If it were Liu Yi, he would definitely not let you follow him, and he would not even give you the chance to serve as a soldier. Slave slave, probably this time, if you want to make the Northern Expedition, you can only guard the food and grass in the rear army, or build ordnance.
