Huan Chong's brows gradually stretched: "Lingbao, your idea is very good, but with the strength of my Jingzhou state, it is still a little difficult to go north alone." I think it will not be easy to defeat Murong Trai in front of him. ”

A smug glint flashed in Huan Xuan's eyes: "Uncle Shuai, rest assured, Murong Chui is ambitious, he is not a loyal minister of the Qin State, I believe that the person who wants Fu Jian's life the most is definitely us, but him!" ”

Huan Chong nodded with satisfaction: "This person has been secretly communicating with us for many years, I have long known that he is not a good person, but when the Qin State is not defeated, presumably he will not act rashly, if Fu Jian can defeat Xie Xuan's Beifu army on the Eastern Front, then Murong Chui will definitely fight us to the death, you have to have a full understanding of this." ”

Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "This little nephew knows this, a while ago, Murong Chui led the army to leave Xiangyang and go to Lianghuai, but he returned soon, it should be that Fu Jian didn't trust him and didn't want him to cause trouble in Shouchun." In this way, we can continue to maintain a tacit understanding with Murong Trai, and there will be nothing to do, if Fu Jian is defeated, Murong Trai will also retreat, and then there will be chaos in the north, and this person will definitely take advantage of the chaos to stand on his own. ”

Huan Chong waved his hand: "That's later, let's talk about the present." Lingbao, why are you proposing to Wang Ningzhi's daughter in my name? Isn't doing this kind of thing at this time a blatant provocation to the Xie family? Although I don't know as much about Jiankang as you do, I also know that this woman is almost certain to be married to that Liu Yu, and Liu Yu is the beloved general of the Xie family. ”

A cold glint flashed in Huan Chong's eyes: "Beauty, only worthy of the strong." Wang Miaoyin is a noble woman like Wang Miaoyin, she should not belong to the martial artist surnamed Liu, I do this, one is to separate the relationship between Wang Xie and prepare for our Huan family to enter the capital in the future, and the other is to set up a rule for those lower-level martial artists, telling them what they can touch and what they can't, lest these people can not only be in charge of the army in the future, but also marry with the family and become our fierce rivals! ”

A strange light flashed in Huan Chong's eyes: "You think so?" Then Liu Yu is just a farmer in Jingkou, and he can also pose a threat to our Huan family? Unlikely. is the eldest brother, although he was self-made in the eyes of others, he has an orphan of a martyr after all, the identity of a scholar. ”

Huan Xuan sighed: "Uncle Shuai may not know that Liu Yu is not an ordinary Han person, he is also a low-level scholar, but after Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan, his father and ancestors also have a petty official, although it is not a high-ranking family, but with this identity, there is also the possibility of development in the future." This is probably the reason why the Xie family fully supports this Liu Yu, instead of Liu Gaozhi, who has followed them for decades. ”

Huan Chong's expression gradually became solemn: "So, this Liu Yu will pose a great threat to us in the future?" But he is at most a low-ranking scholar, according to what you said before, and he has no literary brilliance, such a person, I am afraid that the family will not take it seriously. ”

Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "Back then, my father was not known for his literary talents, I still remember those high-ranking families in Jiankang City, headed by the famous scholar Liu Xuan, who ridiculed my father for not knowing how to talk about Xuan, and even laughed behind his back that he was a veteran and a general." But when my father held the military power, recovered Xichuan, took Guanzhong, and crossed the Yellow River, did these people dare to be presumptuous again? They also know that no matter how hard the neck is, it can't be as hard as a knife, and no matter how fierce the mouth is, it's no more fierce than the fist of a soldier. Since ancient times, the strong soldiers and strong horses have been the Son of Heaven, and the world of the Sima clan has also been obtained by martial arts. ”

"But these children of high-ranking families, since the second and third generations, have been corrupted and degenerate, pursuing those arrogant and lascivious lives, so that most of the children of the family have now been unable to pick their shoulders, can not lift their hands, and even have to breathe when walking, these people are naturally disgusted with military things, and do not want to suffer hardships, so they leave the army and stay away from the soldiers, it is an inevitable thing, even if it is the Xie family, their second generation of children and nephews are okay, and when it comes to Xie Xuan's next generation, I don't think there are many who can lead the army. It is precisely because they themselves know this that they will think of a way to replace them with someone like Liu Yu in charge of the army. ”

Huan Chong nodded: "So in order to envelop Liu Yu, they did not hesitate to marry their daughter who married the Wang family to Liu Yu, just to follow the past when Emperor Jin married the princess to the eldest brother, and accepted Liu Yu as his own family, in exchange for his dead heart, right?" ”

Huan Xuan nodded: "This is a means, but more importantly, Liu Yu is not keen on power, and his mind is full of thoughts about the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the matter of making contributions, so the Xie family not only wants to marry Wang Miaoyin, but also promises to Liu Yu every day that they will definitely go north to the Central Plains and recover the lost land, so as to tie their hearts and do what they like." Uncle Shuai, you have also been in the army for a long time, and you know the heart of the army very well, as long as you can meet the appetite of these people, you can either divide the money or promote the officer, in our opinion, a little favor and a small favor, they can be for the sword mountain and the sea of fire! ”

Huan Chong laughed: "Lingbao, you have to remember that for ordinary soldiers, it is okay to divide the spoils, but for those who really have the ability to lead the troops to fight, you must find them from among the soldiers, and then promote them, let them stay in the army for a long time, and use them for my use, and you can even turn them in and call them brothers." Since the ancient scholars are the ones who know that they have died, and the women are the ones who have been pleased, these people from the lower classes, as long as you give them a little face, they will be grateful, anyway, we have to use people to control the army, just my Huan's nephews, the number is too small, it is impossible to control tens of thousands of troops, so people like Huangfu and Wu Fuzhi have to be reused, but don't easily give them formal official positions to let them take office, get out of the army, once they are so self-reliant, it will be difficult to control in the future, this point must be remembered! ”

Huan Xuan said thoughtfully: "No wonder when my father was here, he only gave them military positions, but he didn't let them do even a county order, only in the army, can they control these people, I understand this truth today, thank you Uncle Shuai for mentioning it." ”

Huan Chong nodded with satisfaction: "If you say this, I know what the Xie family will do to Liu Yu, and it is the same as our family, let this person stay in the army for a long time, only retain his military position, and will not give him a formal official, so that he will not have any conflict with Jiankang's Gaomen family, because it will not infringe on their hereditary power." Lingbao, what you said is right, such a person is the most dangerous for us, because power can make people corrupt and degenerate, lose their enterprising spirit, only a pure soldier, will think about fighting all day long, when his merit is great to a certain extent, with his own power, he has the ability to seize the power of the world! In other words, it will become the strongest and biggest competitor of our Huan clan! ”
