It is not only that Liu Yu can command Liu Laozhi's troops under the false order of Xie Xuanzhi, but also deceive the guards of Stone City into the hub in the same way, in order to occupy Stone City without bloodshed.

Since the defenders of Stone City were not psychologically prepared, and Liu Laozhi himself was not only a famous general in the dynasty, but also Xie Xuan's prestige, as long as he reported that he was returning to Beijing under the order of the emperor, he would be able to stop him in one fell swoop. The guard of Stone City calmly put Stone City under absolute control.

Such acts of rebellion, if handled incorrectly, Jiankang will immediately turn into a cruel battlefield.

The relationship between the Xie family and the imperial court was on the verge of an open break.

Xie Xuan sighed deeply, and said with emotion: "I was forced to embark on this road of no return against the imperial court. When I saw that Uncle Song was seriously injured, I only wanted revenge in my heart, but I didn't want to take it Jiankang has become a battlefield. But seeing that my second uncle couldn't support me because of hurting Uncle Song, I knew I had no choice. If everything goes as I wish, I will leave Jiankang with my second uncle tomorrow morning! Only in this way can my family be safe and secure."

"This is a very dangerous game. If he is slightly worse than him, the Southern Jin Dynasty is bound to fall into a situation of fragmentation." Ye Haoran didn't want to be directly involved in bigger and bigger things.

Xie Xuan is now fighting a different type of war that is different from confrontation on the battlefield.Whoever can control Jiankang is the winner.And because the relationship between the parties is delicate, it is by no means just arbitrariness, it can be said to be a contest of courage and resourcefulness.The key point is to occupy Stone City without bloodshed.As long as no blood is shed, of course the war has not yet begun.

Xie Xuan wanted to seek revenge from the people behind the scenes, but the people who attacked were protected by the royal family, but Xie Xuan couldn't really rebel, except to use military force to coerce the royal family to stand down, and then use the methods of the rivers and lakes to directly single out, there is no way to solve this deadlock.As long as the attackers can repel Xie Xuan, of course Xie Xuan has no excuse to go to war.If Xie Xuan was defeated and died, he would have to blame himself for not being as good as others!Not only can Xie's family not be held accountable, but the generals of Beifu have no excuse to avenge him, because this is the rule of the rivers and lakes.

"Brother Ye can leave. In fact, Brother Ye and Brother Yan are different people. In the following matters, Brother Yan's company is enough. It is indeed not suitable for Brother Ye." Xie Xuan is very graceful.

Ye Haoran said lightly: "Thank you for your understanding."

12,

Although Ye Haoran did not directly participate in it, he stayed in Xie Mansion to wait for the result because of the participation of Liu Yu and Yan Fei.

Xie Xuan didn't want to fall out with the imperial court now, but he couldn't tolerate the Xie family being provoked. The result of this was that when Xie Xuan was alive, the Xie family would never fall.

"Are you back?" Ye Haoran leisurely raised his eyes to look at Liu Yu who had just stepped into the corridor of the courtyard.

Liu Yu paused and stared blankly at the handsome man in front of him.At this time, Ye Haoran's handsome face showed an unparalleled majesty even though his face was expressionless.But that pair of phoenix eyes are black and deep, like black gemstones, exuding a quiet light, leisurely and undisciplined, and there is a slight smile in the eyes.

Liu Yu can clearly feel that although Ye Haoran has been keeping a cold face, his temper does not seem to be the indifference seen on the surface.It's like pulsating spring water, it looks clear and light, but it has never been frozen, and there is even a slight warmth brought by the sun when you reach out to approach it.

Liu Yu looked at Ye Haoran in confusion, wondering why a plain "I'm back" would be so attractive, making his heart jump for joy from this subtle concern.

"Liu..." Ye Haoran originally wanted to call "Brother Liu", but as soon as he spoke, Liu Yu suddenly returned to his senses with a smile and said: "Stone City has fallen into our hands without bloodshed! The main defender of the city is Sima The people of Daozi, if they control him, they will wait for the control of Stone City, because the guards are all on the side of Xuan Shuai. Xuan Shuai sent someone to summon me, saying that he would invite me to the celebration banquet tonight. Alas! It's been a long time since we met, but I can't talk to you in private until now. I'm really happy to see you again in Jiankang." Liu Yu spoke quickly, probably trying to cover up his lack of focus, but it became more obvious this way .

The two sat next to each other on the railing, Ye Haoran said, "Where is Shuai Xuan?"

Liu Yu didn't hide anything from him and said, "I just met him. He is extremely busy and is arranging to leave Jiankang with Mr. An tomorrow. Brother Sima Yao will never dare to act rashly now! Since Stone City falls into our hands, if If there is a slight change in them, we can drive straight forward and attack the palace city, and Sima Yao's throne will be lost immediately. Now the two sides have not broken their faces. After we entered Stone City, we reported the situation to Sima Yao in accordance with the rules. Sima Yao was helpless Your Majesty has issued this approval, and we are acting in accordance with the imperial decree."

Liu Yu then showed a triumphant smile, full of vigor and heroism. "Sima Yao has already made concessions, otherwise he will order Xuan Shuai to enter the palace. Once Xuan Shuai enters the palace, he will be convicted of disobeying the imperial edict. Now Sima Yao only summons Mr. An, which means that everyone is still alive. Room. After tomorrow, whether to split or unite depends on how the Sima Yao brothers treat Jiankang's Xie family."

Ye Haoran can imagine how fierce the political wrestling in the capital of Jiankang is going on in secret at this moment.Compared with this kind of intrigue behind the scenes, he prefers the pleasure of facing the battlefield directly.He didn't want to mention more about this aspect, so he kept silent.

Gao Yan rolled out from the side room, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the two, patted his chest and said, "I thought you guys wanted to leave me and go to meet Ji Qianqian privately, count you! Liu Yu, how could you?" here?"

Liu Yu said in surprise: "What private meeting Ji Qianqian, are you sick and confused?"

Yan Fei came from behind Gao Yan and said happily: "This kid is not bragging! The celebration banquet arranged by Xuan Shuai will be held at Ji Qianqian's Yuping Terrace tonight. Let's go!"

Yan Fei led the way to Zhongyuan, and it was Liu Yu's first visit to Zhongyuan.

With Ye Haoran by his side, he felt a warm and friendly feeling in his heart. He absolutely trusted Ye Haoran. Ye Haoran not only saved his life, but also helped him become a key figure in the victory of Feishui, so he was able to enter the Xie Xuan's eyes.This is the trust derived from the struggle of life and death. He also trusts Yan Fei and Gao Yan, but that kind of trust is different.What is the specific difference, but Liu Yu can't tell.

Not only Xie Xuan was here, but also Xie An was back, Xie Shi, Xie Yan were all present, and a woman was also present.

"That's Xuan Shuai's sister." Liu Yu reminded in a low voice, without saying much.

These people were obviously discussing the most important matters related to the survival of the Xie family, and Xie An brought the latest information.

Xie An smiled and said, "Everyone, sit down casually and come and participate!"

The most prestigious expatriate family in the South is fighting back against the oppression and exclusion of the Sima Dynasty.

Ye Haoran, Liu Yu, Yan Fei and Gao Yan sat down in silence around the perimeter.

Xie Xuan said in a deep voice: "Sima Yao has openly made concessions and approved our departure tomorrow, but everyone knows that this is called a gentleman who does not suffer immediate losses. So we must make arrangements for the future, otherwise we will not escape the tragic situation of family destruction .”

Then Xie Xuan looked at Liu Yu and said, "What's your opinion, Xiao Yu?"

Ye Haoran's heart moved, and he understood that Xie Xuan wanted Liu Yu to show off, so that Xie An and others knew that Xie Xuan didn't choose the wrong person.From this point of view, the usual gossip-like meeting in front of us is really a matter of great importance.That being the case, why did three outsiders and barren people participate.I'm afraid there is something related to Bian Huang Ji.

Liu Yuxian greeted Xie An, Xie Shi and Xie Yan respectively, and analyzed: "Now the whole city is under our strict control and supervision, and any military transfer cannot be hidden from us, so our departure will not be taken seriously at all. People come and go, but the emperor is just doing things according to the situation, and there is nothing he can do. Under the current situation of self-interest, we are sure to completely control Jiankang before sunrise tomorrow."

Xie An nodded and said, "Xiao Yu is not only courageous and knowledgeable, the most rare thing is that he is calm but calm, confident but not arrogant, he is a person who can create great careers, I have confidence in you."

This was just the opening remarks, he had already affirmed Xie Xuan's choice, and Xie An's next answer was even more important, directly deciding whether the Xie family would overthrow the Sima Dynasty.

Xie An looked up at the roof beam, and said softly: "The current situation is like this beam. The middle section is the Sima Dynasty, and the two ends are the Jing Army and the Beifu soldiers. The middle section collapsed, and the Southern Jin Dynasty immediately fell apart. , fell into the same fate of the north, and if any of the other two parts were broken, the house would also collapse. So I, Xie An, do not want to be the sinner who brings disaster to the people.”

Xie Xuan continued: "But it doesn't mean that we are waiting to die, so we have to set goals for the future, first of all, the stability of the south, the domestic and foreign, and then complete the unprecedented feat of unifying the north and the south."

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Xiao Yu understands!"

Xie Xuan suddenly showed an apologetic expression, looked at Yan Fei and Ye Haoran and said, "I want to ask Brother Yan to do something you don't want to do. It would be even better if Brother Ye could help."

Yan Fei was stunned and said: "Since I know I don't want to, why does the coach force me to do it? I'm a lazy person, and what I fear most is tasks or missions."

Xie Xuan's elder sister "puchi" smiled, and then covered her mouth with her sleeves, showing a gaffe, which greatly dilutes the serious atmosphere in Xuan.

Xie Xuan laughed dumbly and said: "Because I know you will not refuse."

The Xie family indeed has a kind of spiritual appeal in the style of spiritual rain from the empty mountain, and the intimidating demeanor of the famous family is also brought into full play through Xie An and Xie Xuan.For some reason, he even felt that all this was duty-bound for him.

For some reason, he felt that Yan Fei was duty-bound.

Yan Fei sighed: "Master Xuan should know that I'm still not fit to fight with others, right?"
