Wei Feng was full of laughter and laughter, and Princess Xiping and Cui Ying were coaxed into laughing again and again. However, Liu Yu had a stern face and returned to the Taiwei Mansion with his confidants such as Liu Muzhi, Xie Hui, Tan Daoji and Shen Linzi. As for summoning him The Huangmen who entered the palace didn't even pay attention. Liu Yu had no intention of playing tricks with Sima Dewen. Liu Yu took the lead and briefly introduced the content of the conversation with Wei Feng, and then asked: "Everyone has met today. The court is in critical danger, and the alliance with Yao Xing will be useless. I, the military commander of Beifu, must How should we deal with independently resisting the Ming army? " Tan Daoji said bitterly: "They are Liu Yi and Zhuge Changmin, two short-sighted people. In the face of a powerful enemy, they do not want to unite, but split and seize power. Otherwise, even if our Beifu army will Weak, why should we fear the Ming Army? "No one present realized that they had unconsciously changed the name of the Wei Feng Army to the Ming Army, which showed that subconsciously, they all recognized the legitimacy of the Ming Kingdom. , and it is a powerful party that is more powerful than the imperial court! Shen Linzi took over Tan Daoji's words, waved his hand and said: "What's the use of complaining? Since the man surnamed Wei has been called King Ming, general, you might as well call him king. Simply depose the emperor and establish a country on your own, which will make it easier to concentrate your strength. Although he claimed that there would be chaos in Guanzhong when dealing with Wei, who knew the truth? Maybe Yao Xing, Tuoba Lie and Liu Bobo saw through his plot and united to prevent chaos? " Liu Muzhi shook his head. Said: "General Shen, it is not appropriate for the general to call himself king at this time. First of all, even if he is called king, the momentum cannot be compared to that of King Ming. Where can the general capture the enemy's monarch to sacrifice to heaven? What's more, to call himself king means completely abandoning the court. Regardless of How about it, the imperial court is where the righteousness lies. Especially since our Beifu army is currently weak, we need to keep the imperial court firmly in our hands. I would like to ask, do any of you have any intention of surrendering to King Ming? " Liu Yu took it over? Said: "Sir, your question is right. The enemy is facing a great enemy. We must be united. If someone wants to defect to King Ming, I will not stop him. He can leave as he pleases!" Tan Daoji was the first to express his position: "I will accept the general's kindness in knowing you, and I will not be able to repay him. , I can only follow the general in this life!" Shen Linzi also said: "How can you surrender because of the enemy's strength? If someone wants to leave, and the general says not to stop him, he will not stop him, but I, Shen Linzi, am willing to fight with that surname. Wei will fight to the end. Even if he is defeated and killed, why should he be afraid? "In fact, Xie Hui was a little shaken. He is a scholar and a scholar. His starting point in everything is to put the interests of the clan first, unlike Shen Linzi and Tan Daoji. By the time the general became so passionate, he no longer thought highly of the court. But in the current situation, there is no way to say goodbye and leave, unless you don't have any shame. Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi cooperate with each other to retreat in order to advance. Forced everyone to retreat! Xie Hui felt extremely helpless, but he could only bow his hands: "Hui has been promoted by the general since he was a child. How can he leave when the general is in danger? Hui is willing to advance and retreat with the general!" The other generals, whether sincere or not, also They can only express their support for Liu Yu. "Okay!" Liu Yu glanced sharply and shouted: "Liu will keep your kindness in mind and will live up to you in the future. The most urgent task is to send envoys to Yao Xing, Tuoba Qu and Liu Bobo respectively. Declaring your righteousness, you can make some concessions as appropriate! Secondly, King Ming has clearly stated that he will attack the north of Dajiang. According to what I have seen, this is by no means an empty statement, and the most important defense in Jiangbei is Yuzhou. If Shouchun and Qiao fall into the Ming army, Liyang, Guangling, and Xiapi are all likely to fall one after another. At this time, he will send troops from Hebei to attack from both sides. Qingyan is in danger. I wonder if you have any good strategies to defeat it? "Liu Muzhi stood up and walked towards Zhi. There was a map of mountains and rivers in the center of the palace, and everyone else gathered around it. Liu Muzhi pointed out: "When King Ming returns to Jiangling, he will not rush to send troops. First, he will observe the situation in Guanzhong. If there is chaos in Guanzhong, he will attack Guanzhong first. If there is no opportunity to take advantage of Guanzhong, he will move to Nanyang in late autumn and early winter. Just as he said, fighting with our Beifu army and putting pressure on Guanzhong is the key. General, please see, Qiao is located only 800 miles northeast of Nanyang, with a vast plain and no danger to defend. King Ming will attack Qiao directly from Nanyang. The rain in winter is sparse, which is conducive to his cavalry assault. If Qiao is lost, he can attack Hulao and Puyang to the north, and Shouchun to the south. Therefore, our army must stop the momentum of the Ming army at Qiao. At the same time, in order to defeat the Ming King's intention to challenge To start the conspiracy of civil strife in Guanzhong, on the one hand, we need to invite Liu Bobo, Yao Xing and Tuoba Lie to come out and cooperate with our Beifu army to attack the Ming army. There are hundreds of thousands of troops in Guanzhong. How can the Ming army stop them all quickly? The battle must be decided quickly, otherwise civil strife in Guanzhong may arise. Unfortunately, the current governor of Yuzhou is Liu Fan, Liu Yi's brother. Liu Fan's strength is limited, and he is not of the same mind as the general. He will not be able to resist the Ming army independently. If the general's main force enters Yuzhou, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstanding!" All the generals felt the same. Tan Daoji snorted: "Maybe before the Ming army attacks Qiao, Liu Fan will surrender Yuzhou to the Ming Dynasty."Liu Yu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, if Yuzhou surrenders without a fight, it will definitely affect Liu Yi. Liu Yi has already hesitated. If he surrenders again, our Beifu Army may collapse!" This general will never allow him to surrender. He should go to Stone City to demonstrate his righteousness! " "General, no!" Xie Hui quickly dissuaded him: "What if Liu Yi takes you down as the first Ming Dynasty?" In emergency situations, you must not take risks lightly! Liu Muzhi also advised: "If Mu Zhi makes a trip on behalf of the general, even if he cannot persuade Liu Yi, he will not harm Mu Zhi." Liu Yu pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Lao. Please also tell Xi Le that if he joins forces with me, I will recommend him to be the Minister of Records. Prime Minister, by the way, although it is unlikely, you must be careful about the envoy of the Ming Dynasty." Liyang, Gushu, and the coast of the river are on strict alert. Our Beifu Army cavalry is on standby at any time. If there is any danger, we will immediately come to our aid! " "Mu Zhi understands! "Liu Muzhi cupped his hands and left quickly. Liu Muzhi left the Taiwei Mansion, issued a series of orders in the name of Liu Yu, and then rode towards Stone City. Liu Yi was still standing on the top of the city. , looking at the river, the Ming army's 50,000 Huqi had left Stone City and gradually gathered downstream. The huge fleet was also making final preparations before setting off. Liu Muzhi did not speak, but stood beside Liu Muzhi. Next to Yi, looking at Dajiang, he had a somewhat fairy-like charm. When it comes to patience, Liu Yi is far inferior to Liu Muzhi, not to mention that he still has something on his mind. Soon, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't help but said coldly. "Sir, here you are, are you trying to persuade Yi to surrender to King Ming, but to abandon the past grudges with the Taiwei and join hands to fight against the enemy? " "good! Liu Muzhi did not deny it. Liu Yi said again: "Why doesn't the Taiwei come?" Could it be that he is afraid of Yu Yi? "Liu Muzhi said lightly: "What kind of person is the general? Xile knows his name well. The general originally planned to come to persuade him in person, but Mu Zhi and the other generals refused to give in. After all, the general is concerned about the safety of the Beifu army. How can he take it lightly? In danger? "Liu Yi's expression softened a little, and he mused: "The Ming army is powerful, and King Ming is so talented. If I go against him, I may die and my clan will be destroyed. In this case, what's wrong with surrendering King Ming? Liu Muzhi pointed down: "Xile, look at this great river, which has been flowing eastward for millions of years. Compared with it, a human life is just a drop in the ocean. But how can a human being survive in this world forever?" It's about spirit and integrity. If it was due to the enemy's influence, why did you rebel against Huan Xuan in the first place? Why should our Beifu army fight against Fu Jian's 820,000-strong army? " "This" Liu Yi was speechless for a moment. Liu Muzhi's face turned cold, and he continued: "Especially you, others can surrender, but you cannot. If you surrender, you must defend the general's number yourself. This General Wei is deeply involved. Since you took it at that time, you should bear the consequences. If you are forced by King Ming to serve as General Wei, you will become a laughing stock for the ages, and your descendants will be ashamed of it! What's more, even if you surrender to King Ming despite the ridicule of the world, King Ming will definitely take all your soldiers and arrange a job for you to take care of yourself in old age. Mu Zhi understands that you have great ambitions, are you willing to do nothing until you die of old age? "Liu Yi was slightly shaken, but he still forced his face to remain unchanged and said: "King Ming has accepted Hu Qi, and General Hu is still leading the army. He Hu of the Helan tribe, and the scumbag Xian Enzhuo, how can it be that he has to capture Yi's military power? ? Liu Muzhi smiled coldly: "Since ancient times, disasters have always been within, not outside. King Ming is very jealous of our generals in Beifu. How can he allow you to lead the army?" But General Hu is different. Firstly, he is simple-minded and surrenders to the strong. Secondly, the country is destroyed. What else can he do if he does not give up his life to serve King Ming? Xi Le, when it comes to surrendering to King Ming, the one who is least worried is the general. The general¡¯s wife, daughter, and sister have all taken refuge with King Ming. If the general goes to Jiangling, he will definitely have a high official position, and when fighting the Ming army, the chance of winning is only 10 to 20. But why didn't the general surrender? People can't just live for personal gain, but also have eternal righteousness. Life only lasts a few decades. Even if you are defeated and die, it is better than living under the fence of others and living in an ignoble way! General, I would rather be a piece of jade than a piece of brick! Liu Muzhi said loudly and looked like he was ready to die. Liu Yi was suddenly shocked, and boundless shame came to his heart, so he asked: "If I join forces with the Taiwei, will the Taiwei let go of his grudge?" "Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "The general is a man who has achieved great things, how can he stick to small details? The disagreement between you and the general is an internal matter of the Beifu Army. You can fight with the door behind closed doors, but the prerequisite is to be consistent with the outside world. Xile, the general has known you since childhood, how can he hold grudge against you? The general is willing to appoint you to record the affairs of the minister, prime minister, just in exchange for a mere place like Qiao! " Then, Liu Muzhi briefly talked about the possibility that Wei Feng would attack Qiao. " Oh? "Liu Yi said with emotion: "Yes, it is difficult for Liu Fan alone to defend Yuzhou. Na Yi immediately wrote a letter asking him to give Qiao to the Taiwei to garrison. Please also tell the Taiwei that he hasIf he is willing to fight to the death, Yi will accompany him. Before our Beifu Army fails to get rid of the crisis, I hope Lieutenant Etai will follow suit! " "good! "Liu Muzhi praised: "Xile has a righteous heart and should stay famous for the rest of his life. Muzhi is also fighting to get rid of this old bone and vows to deal with King Ming! " "Hahahaha~~" Liu Yi looked up to the sky and laughed, Liu Muzhi also stroked his beard and smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
