Luo Longsheng smiled and said: "You are still the most respected god. Then, I will follow the previous plan to break away from the Yongzhou Army and find a way to get close to Yu Yue, while you will act according to the public knowledge and go everywhere to publicize the people's suffering and secretly join forces A high-ranking family member will discredit Liu Yu in public opinion in the future, right?"

The black robe said in a deep voice: "Yes, Yu Yue is also the head of a family with a high status. When you come under Yu Yue, you must use your ability to expand the army. In the past, the children of the family could only serve in some positions in the army. The reason why a counselor cannot be a commander-in-chief is because he lacks the ability to run an army. The same is true for Yu Yue. The last time he captured an army was because he was out of touch with the generals and was out of touch with the generals. Therefore, even his own subordinates who came out of Wu District could not Control, and ultimately betray him.”

"Actually, the Beifu generals don't take the children of the aristocratic families seriously, just because their performance in the army is not like soldiers at all. After experiencing Jingkou Jianyi, these high-ranking families in the past need to look up to them. , but Nuonuo's soldiers no longer regard the children of these aristocratic families as gods. In the past, they were arrogant and bossy, and treated the generals in the army as domestic slaves, which made these soldiers feel that this was They were famous soldiers with high morale and confidence, but later, after experiencing three civil wars in Changdao and a series of external defeats, they discovered that except for Xie Xuan and Xie Yan, the other children from aristocratic families who were generals were nothing more than generals. The wine bag and the rice bag are all deliberately pretending to be a noble person, but they are of no use whatsoever."

"The more capable generals from aristocratic families are, the more they will be courteous to virtuous corporals and share the joys and sorrows with them, while those who are incompetent will be superior because they don't regard the soldiers as the same people as them at all. They are just regarded as pigs and dogs. In the past, the noble families had power in their hands and controlled the weapons and food. The soldiers were just civilians recruited by them, or even slaves of the dealers. Therefore, even if these soldiers looked down on them in their hearts, they We can only swallow our anger and act according to their orders, and Liu Laozhi is the most typical one."

Luo Longsheng laughed: "Liu Laozhi, the commander-in-chief of the Beifu who rebelled three times with one man, actually everyone misjudged him and thought he was just a general of the Xie family, helping the Xie family to control the army. But in fact, this person He was ambitious. Once he found an opportunity, he took advantage of the fact that after the death of the two generals of the Xie family and no one was leading the army, he took the Beifu Army formed by the Xie family into his own hands. At this time, everyone discovered that the Great Jin Dynasty This is the first time that our military power has fallen into the hands of such a cold warrior."

The black robe curled up his lips disdainfully: "You only look at the appearance and don't know the inside. Liu Laozhi is still the warrior who fears and looks up to the noble family in his heart. He is not the same as Liu Yu and other young people of his generation. , he captured Beifu not because of his ability or his own will, but because Wang Gong wanted to compete with the Xie family for power at that time, so he took advantage of Liu Laozhi's fact that he had been a general in Beifu for many years and had many subordinates, and recommended him Liu Laozhi came out to seize power. The Xie family was in ruins because of their own family. At that time, Liu Yu and Murong Lan were far away from the Great Wall. Therefore, facing the dual pressure of the mafia and Wang Gong, both overt and covert, they could only Can hand over military power."

"It's just that Liu Laozhi was very respectful to the Xie family on the surface. Although the Xie family lost political power and military power, Liu Laozhi still protected the Xie family's fundamental interests such as their land in Jiangnan and their slaves. Later, Sima Daozi and his son He seized power and became an enemy of Wang Gong, and Liu Laozhi made the choice to betray Wang Gong and turn to Sima Daozi. This alone shows that Liu Laozhi has no ambitions and no long-term vision. He just depends on who has the highest status. Whoever is more powerful will fall to him."

"Sima Daozi is apparently the emperor's younger brother, the King of Kuaiji. In fact, he may ascend to the throne as the emperor's younger brother in the future. In addition, Wang Gong himself is also a celebrity, shouting and shouting at Liu Laozhi. , thinking that giving Liu Laozhi an official position meant that he could be disrespected. However, Sima Daozi's eldest son, Sima Yuanxian, personally visited Liu Laozhi many times at that time, promised him a high official position, and even allowed Liu Laozhi to truly control the Beifu Army. Instead of having to listen to orders, this was the reason why Liu Lao decided to betray Wang Gong and switch to Sima Yuanxian."

Luo Longsheng nodded: "Liu Laozhi actually just wants to be a general who can control the army. He still needs a wealthy family to be in power and govern to provide him with military supplies, food and grass, and even the source of soldiers. He cannot control it. Since he was in Beifu After becoming the general, the former mountain villages in Huaibei's hometown were in a state of abandonment, and there were fewer and fewer refugees going south. After Liu Laozhi's comeback, the Beifu Army incorporated a large number of bandits and horse bandits~www.readwn.com ~Strangers, in fact, these require a large amount of gold and silver treasures to recruit. He himself has no ability to make money. He still needs the court and high-ranking families to provide him with these recruitment resources."

The black robe sighed: "It's just that after Liu Laozhi's repeated betrayals, he fell into a dead end. The noble family no longer trusted this person, and he thought that Sima Yuanxian could get him all the military supplies and supplies, but he didn't I never thought that this little prince only wanted to make money for himself, so how could he use all the money he collected to build an army?"

"In the end, it was impossible to maintain the daily expenses of the army, because the noble families in Wu used the excuse of years of war after the Feishui War to request tax exemptions for several years. Sima Yuanxian actually did not have the ability to control Wu, which was nominally under the imperial court. In the end, In anger, he forcibly recruited troops in the family's manor and launched Operation Lezu, which gave Tianshi Tao the best excuse to start an uprising."

"In order to support Liu Laozhi's Beifu Army, the family and Sima Yuanxian fought with each other, and finally allowed a truly terrifying and powerful enemy to take the opportunity to rebel. Of course, this also gave Liu Laozhi the opportunity to truly get rid of the family and the court in terms of economy and resources. control, and the possibility of becoming a powerful warlord dominating one side."

Luo Longsheng laughed: "Sun En's uprising made Liu Laozhi's eyes light up. He finally had an excuse to burn, kill and plunder the Wudi, which had been run by a wealthy family for hundreds of years and was the most prosperous in the world. He had been detained for various reasons before. The estates of aristocratic families that were not supplied with military supplies became big fat sheep that he could legally rob, so Liu Laozhi led his New Taipei Army, which had more bandits than soldiers, all the way to Wu."

"He might be more polite to aristocratic families, especially the top wealthy families like the Xie family and the Wang family, but he can be polite to those wealthy landowners and middle- and lower-class noble families in Wu, such as the Shen family, the Lu family, and the Zhang family. You're welcome!" (End of chapter)
