Chapter 1222: Waiting for the two traitors to rebel
Wang Gong's face changed. He instinctively wanted to refute, but when he spoke, he could not speak. He suddenly realized that he might have thought it was a little too simple at the most critical point. Yes, the emperor only wants power, and he may not really make decisions that are beneficial to the country. Even his own intention to achieve success may not be what he thought.
Liu Yu looked at Wang Gong who wanted to speak but stopped and sighed: "Wang Zhenjun, I know that you are like Xuanshuo, you have the intention to make achievements and have a passionate life. You are not those slutty families who are not good at and just want to be together, but you really want to do something. Your sister is the ex-husband of the current emperor, and your status as the uncle also makes you feel that the emperor is your own family. He asked you to come out to the mountain to ask for help from relatives, but you have ignored the biggest thing. He is the king, you are a minister, and you cannot be equal!"
Wang Gong gritted his teeth: "The identity between me and you is also very different, but it does not prevent us from becoming a member of the journey. As long as we have the same knowledge and ambitions, what is impossible?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "This is not the same thing. Wang Zhenjun, you and me are not involved in this power struggle. I have no interest in your general and the position of governor of Yangzhou. All I care about is to complete the great cause of the Northern Expedition and recover the lost territory and honors of our Han family. But the emperor will never have no idea about your power. You are a noble family. The aristocratic family has undermined the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. The most recent one is Xie Xianggong. Even your sister was the master of Xie Xianggong back then. Do you think the emperor really thinks this is a marriage of heaven? Your sister had given the emperor all kinds of anger."
Wang said reverently: "Although their husband and wife have a bad relationship, marriage itself is a kind of political union. Our Wang family has been loyal to the royal family over the years. In the eyes of the emperor, I am a reliable brother-in-law."
Liu Yu sighed: "But you have a very good relationship with the Xie family. The emperor first found his own brother to divide the power of the Xie family. Now this brother is about to become a threat to his throne, so he turned to help you, brother-in-law, not because you are so reliable, but because he has no one available now. Most of the aristocratic families in the Great Jin Dynasty have turned to Wang Guobao with the decline of the Xie family. How many people can stand firmly on the side of the emperor beside you, Wang Xun and others?"
Wang Gong nodded: "Liu Yu, you really surprised me this time. I didn't expect that you, a martial artist, would know so well about the inside story of my Dajin family. No wonder my husband was so optimistic about you back then. Maybe he discovered these qualities in you. But you should also be clear that the Dajin family has begun to decline and decay, and fresh blood should have been added. If you can help me and eliminate evil, I can let you, and your brothers in the Northern Palace, upgrade to emerging families, and we will all support Dajin and create a new world."
Liu Yu shook his head: "The old generation of generals in the Northern Palace, such as Liu Yingyang, are seeking fame and fortune, while the new generation of young people seeking rewards and honors. To put it bluntly, they are also wealth and honor. They are still refugees. They really wanted to fight back when they first went south, but as they settled down here, and with some property after birth and death, they began to become comfortable. Look at this casino, it is so attractive. If a person who thinks about fighting all day long, will he linger here?"
Wang Gong frowned: "This requires people like you to awaken everyone's blood and honor, just like what you did today. After closing the casino here, the men in Jingkou will pick up their weapons again and become excellent soldiers. With such a strong army in hand, we can do whatever we want."
Liu Yu sighed: "You can do it for them to fight the Northern Expedition, but it is absolutely impossible to ask them to go to the Qing dynasty with you. One is to establish achievements for the country, and the other is to treat people as rebellion. How could it be the same? Even if you succeeded for a while and promised high-ranking officials and generous titles, Su Jun and Wang Dun also succeeded at one time, but in the end they ended up dead and destruction, and they would not be followed by the soldiers."
Wang Gong was so angry that he stomped his feet: "After all the time, you just refused to help me eliminate evil and evil. Can you just wait like this and clear the court? Will the King of Kuaiji and Wang Guobao be defeated without a fight?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Wang Zhenjun finally said it right this time. In fact, you don't have to be anxious. Your chance lies in the self-defeating between them."
Wang Gong's face changed: "What does this mean? How can you defeat yourself without attacking?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "Kuaiji King and Wang Guobao are not talents in governing the country. They are greedy and selfish, and can get together. It is just because of mutual needs from each other that the Sima family has been undermined for many years. Except for the aristocratic scum of Wang Guobao, no one will come together with them. Wang Guobao is looked down upon by all the aristocratic families. If you want to seize power from your father-in-law, you can only form a royal relationship, so they hit it off."
"But such friendships with interests will not last long. Now that the Xie family has fallen, the emperor seems to have no strong opponents. The only thing he fears is Wang Zhenjun. If you don't lose your own position and take the initiative to start a military campaign, then they will think that you are also a person with no ambitions. A foreign governor is not enough to threaten their power. Next, they will rush to arrange their relatives and followers to go to various places. Wang Guobao and Kuaiji will sooner or later break up due to these conflicts of interest. When they fight by themselves, it will be time for the Zhenjun to make a difference."
Wang Gong's brows gradually relaxed. He smiled and patted Liu Yu's shoulder: "I didn't expect you to think so much. I understand your meaning. Well, now I don't have the Jingkou to control the Northern Mansion Army. It's not the time to rush to rise up. I'd better observe it for a while before talking. However, I have to reorganize the Northern Mansion Army. Liu Yu, you have to prepare for the near future. This time, I will submit a letter to you as a general and become my deputy."
Liu Yu smiled slightly and shook his head: "No, Wang Zhenjun, there is a place that requires me to go there now than returning to the Northern Mansion."
Wang Gong's lips curled: "Is there anything more important than rebuilding the Northern Prefecture? Do you want to connect in the village first, organize a group of old brothers, and then join the Northern Prefecture Army in an established manner? In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome. I have a way to let the veterans return when rebuilding the Northern Prefecture. Not to mention the recovery of the 80,000 people in the Battle of Feishui, or at least 30,000 elite soldiers, I can still guarantee it."
A cold light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes: "What I want to go to is Luoyang."
