Liu Muzhi said sternly: "Daogui, please think carefully about what position you really want. Are you on the side of your elder brother, or do you want to maintain the unity within the Beifu Army as before, or in other words, do you want to maintain unity within the Beifu Army as before? Act as a peacemaker between your eldest brother and Liu Yi."

Liu Daogui sighed quietly: "I didn't know that Liu Yi had harmed my elder brother like this behind his back. I thought that although they were competing for the position of leader of the Beifu Army, cooperation was greater than struggle, so I was under Liu Yi's hand. As deputy generals, Liu Fan and Liu Cui, especially Liu Cui, the two brothers of Liu Yi, also serve under my eldest brother. In this way, the brothers are interconnected and the interests can be distributed in an amicable manner. In the end, my eldest brother will be the leader. , Liu Yi is the deputy, each brother will gain wealth and fame, and his good name will be passed down in history. This was my idea before today, and this idea has never changed after more than 20 years in the army."

Liu Muzhi nodded: "Your idea is very normal. When they were in Jingkou, your eldest brother and Liu Yi were both respected leaders and had a great reputation. After joining the army, they made many military exploits. From country boy to All the people in Jingkou will be proud of these legendary figures who fought all the way to become generals and commanders. Who would want the brothers to turn against each other or even fight against each other? However, what everyone sees is only the superficial thing. Liu Yi has always been unwilling to live under a slave. Even before he surrendered to the army, he fought openly and secretly many times. However, when facing foreign enemies, they could still unite as one. You were still young at the time, and the slave also said, don't let it happen. You’re exposed to these things too early.”

Liu Daogui gritted his teeth: "But when I became sensible and became an adult, my eldest brother disappeared for nearly two years. In the past two years, Liu Xile, my elder brother, has been with me, helping our family and helping our family survive the most difficult times. For a period of time, there were even frequent court officials coming to question whether my eldest brother had defected and had any contact with us from the enemy country. It was Liu Yi who stood in the front and drove away these ill-intentioned guys. At that time, he was The protector of our family, this is why I once hated my eldest brother. I hated him for abandoning us for several years and running away with a wild girl, but he left us brothers and mother to suffer in our hometown."

"Until the time of Jianyi and the Western Expedition, I was still closer to Liu Yi than my eldest brother. When Liu Yi took command of the Western Expedition, I was the first to sign up and willing to follow him. My eldest brother was still very unhappy at the time, but I felt that he was hiding something. He didn’t say a lot of things, but even if he wanted to say it, I wouldn’t believe it at the time.”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Then why did you believe me today? Everyone knows about my conflict with Liu Yi, and you should have heard a lot of bad things about me from Liu Yi."

Liu Daogui shook his head and murmured: "Because, in this battle, I was hit by an arrow from behind, and it turned into what I am now. I can feel that my eldest brother was also hit by the closest person in this way in Wuzhuang. This is how my brother felt when he was hit by an arrow. This arrow hurt not his body, but his heart."

"Fat man, over the years, I have felt the betrayal and hostility from friendly forces and companions. I know that power and ambition can make brothers, living and dead, as scary as devils. So, now I understand that only the eldest brother is like this. Family love that is thicker than water is what breaks the bones and connects the tendons, and is what truly keeps giving up. I always recall that when he was a child, he could not bear to eat, but he would save the dried fish and white rice for his mother and give us these. I couldn't help but want to cry when I remember my little brother's past."

At this point, Liu Daogui's face was already full of tears. This tough guy who was fatally injured and cursed by an ancient demonic spirit had gritted his teeth without even saying a word of pain, but now it was because of the pain in his heart. And crying like a child shows how deeply betrayal from his companions can affect him.

Liu Muzhi looked at Liu Daogui quietly, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on his face: "If you have any grievance or sadness, just cry it out, Daogui, it's not a sin for a man to cry." Strong people also have the right to be tired. In these years, you have been under too much pressure and the burden is too heavy. Today, release yourself."

Liu Daogui pushed Liu Muzhi's hand away, gritted his teeth, shook his head and said: "No, fat man, just Jingzhou makes me mentally and physically exhausted. You and your eldest brother have to rule the country and face powerful foreign enemies, as well as your own people behind them." Betrayal at any time, your burden is more than ten times or a hundred times heavier than mine? You are the ones who work the hardest and the most tired. You can’t express your suffering. I understand what you mean. My eldest brother will always be My elder brother, no matter what I say, I should be on his side."

"Liu Yi's matter is not just the struggle for power between him and the eldest brother, but the eldest brother's position as leader has long been recognized by the world. Find out about the various foreign wars and counterinsurgency wars in Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com , Liu Yi also had enough opportunities to prove himself, but all of these opportunities proved that he was indeed inferior to his elder brother. Even because of his unbalanced mentality, it affected his performance and judgment, causing him to lose ground. His previous prestige has almost been ruined. This is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly."

"But even now, he still refuses to give up, refuses to admit his failure and lack of ability, and his ambition is even greater than before. If he really wants to continue to fight for the position of Jingzhou Governor, then he will put his ambition aside. The interests of the country and the interests of the people of the world come before the interests of the people. I want to be the second Huan Wen and the second Wang Dun. I want to take over Jingzhou and continue to fight for the world with my elder brother. I can predict that in the future he will raise an army, rebel, and even act like a demon thief. Counterattack on Jiankang, I, I will never allow this to happen!"

At this point, Liu Daogui's face turned red, he coughed violently, and gritted his teeth and said: "Fat man, please express my opinions to elder brother, to the court, to, to the emperor. I, I can't write now, please, please." When you submit the report on my behalf, just say, Jingzhou is a matter of concern, it is a matter of the world, don’t be cautious in choosing the governor, I, I recommend Liu Jingxuan, A Shouge, recommend him to be the governor of Jingzhou."

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Ah Shou? He is far away in Qingzhou at the moment. To say that Jingzhou is important, Qingzhou is also very important. That is the newly conquered land of Nanyan and the land of Qilu. Without strong generals, I am afraid that the garrison will soon be taken away by the Later Qin or the Northern Wei, at least because the local Han people are strong and self-reliant and do not obey orders."

Liu Daogui gritted his teeth: "Yes, you can let Zhu Lingshi or brothers Tan Shao and Tan Zhi guard Qingzhou. That is the newly conquered land. You also kill the two families of Han and Feng to serve as a warning. There will be no big trouble." ( End of this chapter)
