Liu Yu frowned: "In other words, you are willing to go to Jingzhou and cooperate with Tao Yuanming because Tao promised you that he can take out the military rations left by the cabinet family and help you build an army?
Liu Yi said seriously: "Yes, in the troubled times at that time, I had to consider myself. Liu Laozhi only cared about supporting his own troops, and it was impossible to pass on the power of the Beifu Army to me. There were veteran generals on top.
With the remaining resources, I can use my subordinates as the core to quickly recruit troops in Jingzhou to suppress Huan Xuan.
Liu Yu sighed: "I didn't expect that at that time, you would have the idea of self-reliance. It's just that Jingzhou is a place where the Huan family has been running for decades. Even Wang Xun himself can't obtain the power of the White Tiger there, so what do you have?
Can faith be gained?
Liu Yi sneered: "When Huan Wen went to Jingzhou as a white tiger, he was empty-handed. The so-called white tiger resources had nothing left when Wang Dun fought the civil war.
Later, Tao Kan took over as the governor of Jingzhou, and then the Yu family took control of it. However, these resources were exhausted after many civil wars and the Northern Expedition. If these resources were still there, then there would be no one named Tao.
People surnamed Yu successively lost control of Jingzhou and took advantage of the temperature.
"So the so-called White Tiger's Power is actually just a secret base that the Huan family has saved after running Jingzhou for decades. These were to be left to Huan Xuan, but Yin Zhongkan also took a fancy to them, so he took Tao Yuanming with him.
I just thought that the Tao family would somehow know where these secrets were stored, but Tao Yuanming told me from the beginning that he did not have these reserves, otherwise the Tao family would not have ended up like this. What he really had was just
It's just some of Tao's remaining popularity in Jingzhou.
"So, what you really want, Liu Yu, opened his eyes wide: during the civil war in Jingzhou, when Yin Gui was fighting, the imperial court ordered you to lead troops there for a truce. You could take this opportunity to occupy a piece of land in Jingzhou, and then use
Tao's influence has gained a foothold in Jingzhou, and he can control Jingzhou through normal conscription and tax collection?
Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, at that time Huan Xuan only returned to Jingzhou for the first time and recalled his old troops. He had not yet fully inherited the resources left by Huan Chong. This is my best opportunity to borrow Jingzhou's resources.
The civil war has gained a foothold there. The reason why I agreed to Liu Laozhi to get rid of you in the Battle of Wuzhuang is that I made a condition to Liu Laozhi. After the event is completed, the troops you led will be transferred to Liu Laozhi.
I came to take charge, firstly, to prevent your brothers from causing trouble after knowing the truth, and secondly, to provide more than a thousand elite soldiers. Including my own subordinates at the time, there were 3,000 elite soldiers. With this force, I could fight in the civil war in Jingzhou at that time.
China is also a force.
Liu Yu sighed: "It's really you, Liu Xile, I can't believe that you even thought of this. It seems that I hindered you and prevented you from being killed, which caused your plan to go bankrupt."
"What happened back then, I had to grit my teeth: Do it, if I refuse, Liu Laozhi will kill me directly. I have made it clear to you a long time ago. After I do it, Liu Laozhi will not do it."
He will not tolerate me staying in the Beifu Army, so leaving with your subordinates is the only choice between him and me. However, I did not get rid of you, and I did not expect that the civil war in Jingzhou would end so quickly.
, In just a few months, Yin Zhongkan was defeated at the hands of Ai Xuan, and Yang Quanqi was also wiped out. Huan Xuan's speed in retaking Jingzhou exceeded my imagination.
Liu Yu said coldly: "That's because Tao Yuanming sided with Ai Xuan, and in the end Yin Zhongkan failed due to lack of food. This Tao Yuanming had no good intentions from the beginning, even if you kill me, take him away
I am afraid that my troops will not gain any advantage in Jingzhou, and will probably kill Tao Yuanming.
Liu Yi shook his head: "It's not that Tao Yuanming wanted to use external forces like Yin Zhongkan or me to overthrow the Huan family's control over Jingzhou for decades. He tried his best to help Yin Zhongkan at the beginning.
Because it is better to help Yin Zhongkan succeed than to face Huan Xuan later.
It's just that Yin Zhongkan was very happy with his achievements and had no military skills. He formed a nominal alliance with Yang Quanqi, but always prevented Yongzhou troops from entering Jiangling. On the surface, he failed because of lack of food, but in fact, even if he had enough food and grass, it was by no means
Huan Xuan's opponent.
Liu Yu said seriously: "So, you finally joined forces with Tao Yuanming to intercept and kill Xiang
Yin Zhongkan, who was about to escape, on the one hand obtained the token of Black Hand Qiankun, and on the other hand, also gave Tao Yuanming a certificate of surrender to pledge allegiance to Huan Xuan?
But what good will this do to you?
Liu Yi sighed: "At that time, Yin Zhongkan killed Wang Xun and became independent. On the surface, he controlled Jingzhou, but secretly also gained the power of Black Hand Qiankun. Because Wang Xun and Xuanwu both died in his hands, Tao Yuanming and I were planning to do it first.
Lurking next to him, gaining his trust, becoming the guard of the mafia, and then attacking him, on the surface, he needs to be at least evenly matched with Huan Xuan, which requires him to bring in external support. Only he, the governor of Jingzhou,
He took the initiative to write a letter asking me to lead troops into Jingzhou, so that I could have reasons and excuses to help him.
Liu Yu laughed: "You have already thought about this reason. From then on, you will lead your troops and become a Nanman captain, join the army of Jingzhou, and then fight against Huan Xuan and even Yang Quanqi under Yin Zhongkan.
At that time, he slowly developed and strengthened his own strength, until when the time was right, he replaced Yin Zhongkan and monopolized Jingzhou, right?
Liu Yi nodded: "Yes, this was my plan at that time. It's a pity that I didn't get rid of you, and naturally I was not qualified to lead troops into Jing. If Yin Zhongkan was defeated too quickly, I didn't even save him."
He didn't have a chance, and Tao Yuanming was caught off guard. It was known to the world that he joined Yin Zhongkan's Mu Liao. If he didn't decisively break away from Yin Zhongkan, even he himself would be implicated. Even if he saved his life, he would not be able to survive.
Don't think about doing anything in Jingzhou controlled by Huan Xuan in the future. That's why he thought of deceiving Yin Zhongkan into having food and not fleeing, but secretly conspired with me to let me take it when Yin Zhongkan was defeated and fled.
Down.
Liu Yu nodded: "This can be regarded as a move to stop losses. You captured Yin Zhongkan as proof of loyalty to Huanxuan. Oh, no, it should just be proof of Tao Yuanming, and you returned to the Beifu Army.
, As for Tao Yuanming's proposal to persuade Ai Xuan to kill me, it was probably your idea too.
Liu Yu frowned: "In other words, you are willing to go to Jingzhou and cooperate with Tao Yuanming because Tao promised you that he can take out the military rations left by the cabinet family and help you build an army?
Liu Yi said seriously: "Yes, in the troubled times at that time, I had to consider myself. Liu Laozhi only cared about supporting his own troops, and it was impossible to pass on the power of the Beifu Army to me. There were veteran generals on top.
