Chapter 034 Seek Skin with the Tiger

"Haha" Huan Xiu said with a big smile, "Deyu, Deyu, you don't understand the good intentions of the captain and me at all. After Liu prison's defeat, you and He Wuji personally met Duke Huan's marriage. Duke Huan already trusts you two. Otherwise, how can the relationship between you, Wuji and Liulao not be investigated?

It's a pity that you even compared yourself with Sun Wu. In fact, he failed the lieutenant's desire to cherish and respect his talents. Although I am a relative of the lieutenant, I have been in the court for a long time, and I am not as close as the lieutenant as Bian, Yin and others. Therefore, I am not so much a close relative of the lieutenant as a citizen of the Great Jin Dynasty like you. What I read is just loyal to the country.

I followed his words and said, "Listening to the general's words really relieved my worries. I'm ashamed that I didn't understand the deep meaning of the lieutenant and the general. We and other northern soldiers are all loyal to the State of Jin. However, the generals of Beifu were repeatedly restrained, and the military heart of Beifu naturally had an impact. Even I myself have doubts, not to mention the generals.

Huan Xiu sat up straight from **, walked on his knees in front of me, and then sat down close to me cross-legged. He told me one by one the examples of Huan Xuan's regime in Jiankang and his envoys to govern the country with one heart. At the same time, he told me that Jiankang's official governance, finance and taxation, public security, etc. were far stronger than when Sima Daozi and Sima Yuanxian were in power. All this proves that Huan Xuan is a talent for governing the country.

Huan Xiu also said: As for the frequent accidents of the generals in the north recently, it is not that Huan Xuan wants to govern the north government, but by chance.

The surrounding area of Jiankang is the sphere of influence of Beifu. Once you urgently use troops, of course, you will transfer troops from Beifu, not from Jiangzhou and Jingzhou. One is that Jingzhou is far away, and the other is that the transfer of Jingzhou troops into Beijing will make others suspect that Huan Xuan has conquered the court by force. Those who can work more, and those who work more often make mistakes. People who work hard will inevitably do something wrong. Huan Xuanzhi's army has always been rigorous. Of course, he will punish the generals who lead the army first.

"What is the most taboo about the change of government?" After Huan Xiu finished his statement, he suddenly asked me this.

"Wren't it?" I answered randomly.

Huan Xiu shook his head and said, "No. The most taboo is dissent.

He stared at me for a long time and smiled and said, "This is something that politicians have to guard against. Taking Sun Wu's event as an example, General Sun fought against Liu Gui in the north. It was the captain who sincerely gave this veteran a good opportunity to make contributions. I also know that as a person of General Sun, once this achievement is built, it is easy to be promoted to the title of Marquis. From then on, it will be beautiful to retire and enjoy the years?

Unexpectedly, he misunderstood the captain's intention and completely did not understand the captain's painstaking efforts, and unexpectedly fought back. The lieutenant had no choice but to design a killing. It's a pity that a tiger general is so unwise. The position and people of Deyu are far less than Sun Wuyi, but the lieutenant's favor and high hopes on you, and no one can reach the Beifu. Huan Xiu lengthen the four words "unmatched" and said them rigidly.

I quickly bowed my hand to the north and said, "I am praised by the lieutenant and the general. Liu Yu is just a soldier. He was lucky enough to kill some Sun En thief, but he didn't make any achievements. How can you bear such a deep love?"

"What's the matter with the lieutenant's contribution?" Huan Xiu did not answer my words, but asked another question.

"Remediation of officials?" I answered again randomly.

"Well, yes, official governance is indeed an important matter. However, what we pay more attention to is military service! Deyu, it seems that you don't know anything about officialdom. Haha."

"Haha. Indeed, the matter of officialdom is too complicated for us and other soldiers to understand. Because of this, the more I know about the captain, the more I admire him. The so-called Wen Tao's martial arts strategy, who is proficient in everything? Although I am not good at words, I naturally have to compliment myself when I encounter such a good opportunity. "Listen to the general, doesn't the captain have the same goal as us?"

"The honor of the position of lieutenant did not rely entirely on military merit. However, the Great Jin Dynasty lived in the south of the Yangtze River, and the great rivers and mountains gave way to Hu. All the kings and ministers of all dynasties have taken the recovery of the land as the first task. Of course, it is also important for the lieutenant to rectify the administration of officials, but if he can make military achievements in the Northern Expedition, won't he be the first meritorious minister of the State of Jin? Huan Xiu deliberately lowered his voice.

When a person wants to get closer to another person, the easiest thing to do is to share secrets or common hobbies with him. Commenting on the boss unscrupulously in private is an unchanging shortcut.

Although Huan Xuan is a relative of Huan Xiu, he just took advantage of this and applied this trick to me. Huan Xiu deliberately told me some of Huan Xuan's private ideas, and he shrewdly concealed the aura of these ideas. The high-sounding righteousness of the Northern Expedition was deliberately said by him as Huan Xuan's personal benefit. Such a clever debasement will not only make the listeners have a bad impression of Huan Xuan, but also have a good impression of the Huan brothers because of Huan Xiu's frankness. I will also be grateful for being included in this group of relatives and cronies.

Huan Xiu continued: "I shouldn't have told you about this. However, it may also let you know what the captain thinks. In the future, if you go north to fight, what the lieutenant can rely on is naturally General Deyu, who has won a hundred battles. With your talent, no one in the world can match it.

"It's broken me. With such a friendship, a general must live up to the love of a lieutenant and a general. It's just that my ability is limited, and I'm afraid of losing my expectations. The ambition of the lieutenant is indeed beyond our ability. I wait for the lieutenant, but the swallow finch for Honghu. Shame on you!"

"It's good for Deyu to understand the truth. It was accidental that the Beifu army suffered a series of setbacks. If the generals in the north understand the painstaking efforts of the lieutenant, they will not have done this extraordinary; if the generals in the south can also understand the ambition of the lieutenant, they should work together to suppress the thieves together. In the past few days, it is important to suspend the war and stabilize the army.

Returning to my account from Huan Xiu's Zhongjun tent, my mood was a little brighter. Although what Huan Xiu said is not all true, at least the suspicions that He Wuji and I are worried about should not be as serious as we think. We still have enough time and opportunities.

I think about the uprising again and again: He Wuji is good at plotting. Although he is cautious, he is not comprehensive. In addition, he is too impulsive. Although everything has been as planned so far, I have been worried that He Wuji will make mistakes due to unexpected things.

Although I asked him to secretly introduce righteous people in Jingkou and Jiankang, he can't completely rely on these two places. If these two places are unfavorable, then it is still necessary to find like-minded people from Lu Xun's Beifu army. After many contacts, I fell in touch with some people, including Xu Xianzhi.

Although Xu Xianzhi is an old general of Beifu, he does not like socializing, although he has not had a deep personal relationship with Liu Laozhi and other generals for many years in the army. Huan Xiu also knows about this, so he trusts Xu Xianzhi. Xu Xianzhi's heart is still unknown. I think it is necessary to find an opportunity to test his thoughts.
