Liu Yu's eyes were bright with light. He looked directly at An Tong and said in a deep voice: "Do you think you understand me very well? Do you know what I think?"
An Tong smiled slightly: "I have been observing the expressions between you and Princess Lan. There is true love in your eyes. I can naturally see that for the sake of the one you love, you would rather abandon your career and ambition.
There are not many such people, but you, Liu Yu, are one of them. If not, why would you not go back to your homeland and come to this grassland?"
Tuoba Gui smiled and said: "An Aqian, you guessed wrong this time. It's not that Liu Yu doesn't want to go back, but he can't go back. Last time I saw with my own eyes that in the battle of Wuqiaoze, the Jin army was completely wiped out.
, Liu Yu was the only one to rise to the challenge and cover the retreat of his comrades. Although it was a heroic feat and admirable, it also took the blame on himself and became the scapegoat for those who were really responsible for this war. Liu Yu, you are surrendering in national calamity.
It’s hard to find a family, so in this case, only the ambition to achieve success will be melted by Princess Lan’s tenderness, right?”
Liu Yu said coldly: "I won't bother you two with these matters. It has nothing to do with the matters between you and me. Tuoba Gui, I know what you are thinking. You just want to dominate the grassland now, but you will definitely think about it in the future."
I want to take over the Central Plains, right?"
Tuoba Gui sighed: "I don't dare to think about those things, and I can't think about them. Now I just want to rebuild the old ministry and restore my homeland. Liu Yu, we are the same people. You want to regain the Han family, and I do too."
You want to regain the honor of your ancestors. You have fought hard for the Eastern Jin Dynasty for many years and have gone through life and death, but now you can only end up wandering in a foreign country? Although you are accompanied by beautiful women, I think, with your character, these are not what you really want.
.”
Liu Yu let out a long sigh, feeling sad in his heart. Tuoba Gui's tone was also full of sadness. At this moment, he suddenly had a lot of resonance with the person in front of him.
An Tong shook his head: "Young Master, you don't know something. Liu Yu ended up in this situation not because of his incompetence, but because of the frame-up by treacherous officials behind his back, which led to the defeat of the Beifu Army. Now these people are passing the responsibility for the defeat.
When it comes to him, even his fiancée, Queen Miaoyin of the Wang Xie family, has become a nun. Now that Xie An is dead, he will never be able to return to his homeland."
Liu Yu's body shook suddenly, and he rushed forward with a single step, looked directly at An Tong, and said sternly: "What did you say? Xie An is dead? Say it again!"
An Tong smiled slightly: "Why, Princess Lan didn't tell you? She has sources of information along the way. It's not like she knows nothing when she enters the grassland. If she didn't tell you the news, there is only one reason.
It’s just that she doesn’t want you to impulsively go back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to attend the funeral for Xie An.”
Liu Yu looked at An Tong's expression. Although he was smiling, his expression was extremely serious. Obviously, this statement was true. He took a step back feebly. His mind was filled with Xie An's voice and smile, although he hated it very much.
Wang Miaoyin's betrayal, but she has never really hated Xie An and Xie Xuan. After all, she has been in the position she is today thanks to the support of the Xie family over the years. Her family has also relied on the Xie family to take care of them for many years and has not been affected by the Diao brothers.
Over the years, my uncle and nephew Xie An have given me great help, and can even be said to be my guide in life. He has tempered me step by step from a Jingkou villager to where I am today. In my heart, I have already learned from him.
Father, when he heard this news, why didn’t he feel like a thunderbolt and his heart was broken?!
Liu Yu's eyes sparkled with tears and he bit his lips tightly: "How could it be possible? How could this be happening? My lord, he is still very strong. How could it be that just one year's work is gone like this!"
Tuoba Gui sighed: "A great hero's ambition is hard to realize. He suffered the most terrible betrayal and his whole life's hard work was wasted. This is human nature, just like Huan Wen. The Northern Expedition failed and the usurpation of the throne failed. However,
He passed away in two or three years. My late great father, his country was ruined and his family was destroyed. He was taken captive by the Qin State to Chang'an, where he suffered the humiliation of the conquered king and the inner torture of his shameless ancestors.
, almost grew old overnight. In my impression, that man who was as strong and mighty as a god became bedridden in just three months, and finally died of vomiting blood. Liu Yu, these are these heroes
The way they died after failure is so painful that you can’t believe it, but it is absolutely true!”
Liu Yu gritted his teeth, faced the south, cupped his hands and fists, bowed his hands three times to his waist, and said loudly: "My lord, your kindness, Xiao Yu can only repay it in the next life."
An Tong nodded: "Liu Yu, after Xie An's death, the Xie family lost power, and it is impossible for anyone to help you clear your grievances in the Jin State. Now everyone in the Jin State is saying that you surrendered to Murong Chui and became a traitor's lackey.
Even your family is bearing this infamy and living in humiliation. If you really think about your family, why not join forces with us? The young master appreciates you very much. There are no intrigues and intrigues of the Han people on our grassland. You will definitely be here.
Find your own place and write a legendary story."
Liu Yu turned around slowly and looked at Tuoba Gui and An Tong firmly: "These are your true intentions, right? You want me to cooperate with you and surrender to you Tuoba Gui, right?"
Tuoba Gui's eyes sparkled: "We are friends, not monarchs and ministers. You help me restore my country, and I will help you return home. As long as you can help me unify the grassland, whether it is to borrow troops to stand on my own, or to destroy Yan and return to Jin, I will be your king."
Your choice.”
Liu Yu said coldly: "You finally spoke your mind. You just want to backfire on your old master Murong Chui, and you dare to say that you have no ambitions for the Central Plains?"
Tuoba Gui shook his head: "Liu Yu, you don't understand the grassland, and you don't want to think about it. Our ancestors of the Tuoba family sent troops to rescue Liu Kun again and again to protect the last line of Han people in the north, but they never
What is the purpose of occupying the land the size of your Western Jin Dynasty?"
Liu Yu's heart stirred, and he suddenly became interested. It was indeed difficult for him to understand the Tuoba family's actions on behalf of the country. Meeting Tuoba Gui, the young leader of the country, could solve his long-standing doubts.
Liu Yu looked at Tuoba Gui's young and mature face and said in a deep voice: "It's not like you don't want benefits. I remember that every time you sent troops, you had to bring back a lot of loot, prisoners, and even the captured Han and Zhao.
The city will also rob the Han people in the city into slaves and return them to the grassland. How dare you say that you don’t have any intentions?”
Tuoba Gui smiled slightly: "If we really want to take over the Central Plains, the cities we conquer will be guarded by separate troops. Why go back to the grassland? You think we are driving tens of thousands of people back to the grassland, and we have to control their food and drink along the way.
