Liu Yu smiled slightly, and shook his head confidently: "I'm not so utilitarian as a man, I just made friends with hairballs because I saw that he was a man and useful to the country, I didn't think about it so much." I don't even want to borrow the power of the Xie family, how can I covet the power of the Mao family? ”

Liu Muzhi shook his head, and said: "Slave, if a person wants to rise, progress, and develop, it is impossible to rely only on himself, just like you said that you didn't borrow the strength of the Xie family, but if you don't rely on the Xie family, how can you get rid of the entanglement of the Diao family?" How is it possible to develop all the way in this army? There are noble people to help, at least don't resist, besides, I told you last time that the Xie family has its own position, and it is not a person from you. ”

Liu Yu's expression changed slightly: "You're here again, if you don't want me to have contact with the Xie family, why don't you stop me from having something with Miaoyin?" ”

Liu Muzhi sighed: "What I'm talking about is that you are not all the way, and there may be a conflict of ideas in the future, but now you must rely on the strength of the Xie family." If you don't become their son-in-law, they won't see you as their own, and they won't invest family power and connections in you. So, what you have to do is to make good use of this time to make yourself strong, especially to master the army and get the heart of the army! ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "This is impossible, I am just an ordinary sergeant, or at most an officer in the future, and if I die, I will be the master of an army like Liu Gaozhi, and it is okay to manage tens of thousands of sergeants, far from controlling the government, this is not the way I want to go." ”

Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "Then what do you think the Mao family is taking?" ”

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The Mao family has been a general, like Mao Muzhi, the father of Maoqiu, and Mao Anzhi, both of whom are leading generals, isn't it good to do this." They are not attached to any family. ”

Liu Muzhi nodded: "The Mao family is because after Mao Bao died in battle, he had no place to stand, and he was not effectively loyal to his army, so he could only return to the court to take charge of the army, there is one thing you may not know, Mao Muzhi once took Mao Qiu's gang of nephews and stayed in Yizhou and Liangzhou." even almost became a big feudal town like Huan Wen who controlled one side, but it was only because they couldn't resist the attack of the Qin State and lost Shuzhong that they could only return to the imperial court to lead the troops. ”

Liu Yu didn't know about this, opened his mouth wide, and said, "There is such a thing?" ”

Liu Muzhi's eyes sparkled: "Yes, it's just that the Mao family doesn't have the ability to defend Shu, so it can't become the Jingzhou of the Huan family, but if the Great Jin can defeat the Qin State in the decisive battle in the future, it can not only go north to the Central Plains, but also take Bashu in the west, this place, I'm afraid it will be the Mao family." ”

Liu Yu was speechless for a long time, and then sighed: "I can't imagine that the world of the Great Jin Dynasty is just like the hot bun of the pancakes, and the ones that are divided between these families are almost private property." ”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "So you have to have a good relationship with the Mao family, in the future, if you rise step by step in the army and have tens of thousands of soldiers, then you may also be able to become a big feudal town guarding one side, and if you don't want to enter the court as an official, you can also divide one side, if you are in the same breath with the Mao family and the Huan family, then you will have the confidence not to look at the Xie family's face." ”

Liu Yu's face changed: "Do you want me to become a feudal town like the Huan family and become a big disaster for the country?" ”

Liu Muzhi's expression was calm, and he said indifferently: "Don't you want to recover the lost territory and restore the Han family, if you want to do this, you have to do this!" ”

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "Why do you want to do this?" The Xie family also wants the Northern Expedition, which does not conflict with my wishes. ”

Liu Muzhi sighed: "I told you last time that the Xie family wants the Northern Expedition, not sincerely, but to consolidate their power and strengthen their position through the Northern Expedition. ”

Liu Yu said: "I've thought about what you said for a long time, but I still can't agree. Whether it is Xie Xianggong or Xuan Shuai, they have a heart to serve the country and put the interests of the Great Jin above the interests of the family, even if they recover the north, they can get more benefits in the newly occupied land. This time, the Xie family has released a lot of servants and servants in the family, isn't it the best proof? ”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "The Xie family only needs to be able to control the power of the DPRK and China, and it does not need to achieve this point through the new occupation and conquest of the northern land, this time the initiative to join the army is because of the threat of the Qin army, if it wasn't for the Qin State to take the initiative to go south, so many years ago, what did the Xie family do?" ”

Liu Yu choked on these words and had nothing to refute, and the belief in his heart began to shake slightly.

Liu Muzhi looked at Liu Yu and said: "This time is actually the same, even if you can defeat the Qin State, even if Xuan Shuai wants the Northern Expedition, there will definitely be other families who will hold them back, so if you really want to make contributions to the Northern Expedition in the future, you must not count on the family, and even be prepared for them to lag behind." All you can rely on is the army under your command, the territory you control, and some are feudal towns like the Mao family that can be united and thought to help. ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "The Mao family has no size now, isn't it too early to say this?" Besides, the family doesn't want to go on the Northern Expedition, so do these feudal towns want to? ”

Liu Muzhi laughed: "This is the difference between civil and military, and it is also the difference between the DPRK and the foreign domain." The feudal towns outside can't get involved in the power of the central government, and the only way to enter the government is to make meritorious contributions and have strong strength, just like Huan Wen. He fought in the Northern Expedition to Chang'an and the Yellow River, and only then did he have the confidence to come back and abolish the Son of Heaven and even usurp power and seize the throne. Therefore, regardless of their motives, the Northern Expedition was a move that would allow the warriors of the feudal towns to expand their strength, and they would truly respond. ”

"Just like this time, before the Qin State went south, Huan Chong of Jingzhou took the initiative to take advantage of the turmoil in the Fu Clan and sent troops to the territory, although it attracted a large-scale retaliation from the Qin army, but its motive to use every opportunity to attack the city and seize the land and expand its territory and strength is undoubted."

Liu Yu frowned: "I don't like the Huan family very much, that Huan Xuan always gives me an uncomfortable feeling, you know that I like to make friends very much, but for this Huan Xuan, I don't want to make friends at all." ”

Speaking of this, he paused: "It's that Xianbei Murong Nan, I can also make friends with him, but Huan Xuan, I don't think I will be friends with him." ”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "I don't want you to have anything to do with the Huan family, after all, this is a family that wants to be the emperor." ”
