"Now that Liu Taozi has gained power and occupies the north of the river, he has unrivaled power, but his brother says he is going to join him."

"What is this? Following the trend?"

Compared with Hu Luguang, Hu Luxian got together with Liu Taozi earlier. When he served as the governor of the frontier fortress, he had frequent contacts with Liu Taozi in private.

Then he was framed by the senior officials in the court, and he was blamed for swallowing up the military supplies. He was kicked to Heluo, and then transferred to Jinyang.

Hu Luxian lost confidence in the temple very early and wanted to invest in peaches.

But Hu Luguang didn't allow him to do this.

But when Hu Luxian felt that he had no face to seek refuge with Liu Taozi, his brother suddenly changed his mind and forcibly took his whole family to seek refuge.

Hu Luxian really didn’t understand.

Hu Luguang looked at his irritable brother and said softly: "I have my own reasons."

"Liu Taozi will not despise you because of this matter, you don't have to worry."

"When we are weak, we are distant, and when we are strong, we are close. How will the people in the world view us?"

"As long as your contribution in the future is great enough, no one will despise you."

Hu Luguang blocked his brother's mouth again.

Hu Luxian sat aside and said angrily: "You still say you don't look down upon me!"

"We have been here for several days, but Liu Taozi has yet to come to see her. Isn't this an obvious expression of dissatisfaction?"

"How else to despise it?"

"I think the marriage between these two families is also in doubt."

At this moment, a warrior rushed in and saluted them, "General! King Pingcheng has come to pay his respects!"

Hu Luguang glanced at his younger brother and stood up slowly.

"Go out and greet."

Hu Luguang and Hu Luxian walked out of the courtyard and saw Liu Taozi standing at the door. He was holding the green lion. The armor on his body had not yet been taken off. There was flesh and blood in the gaps in the armor.

Those who came back from the battlefield had not even taken a bath.

Liu Taozi saluted each of them.

"I was on an expedition outside the Great Wall, and I didn't know you were here. Please forgive me for being rude."

Hu Luguang was stunned for a moment but Hu Luxian blushed a little, "You don't need to see anyone, you don't need to see anyone. Did you just come back?"

"Yes, I just came back."

Lu Qubing on the side said softly: "The general has not been to the official office, nor has he visited his parents, so he came to General Hulu first."

"General, don't stand outside the door. Come in first."

Hu Luxian warmly invited Liu Taozi into the hospital, and several people walked into the room. Hu Luguang looked at the superior, but hesitant.

Liu Taozi has not yet ascended the throne, he is just a general.

But he is actually a prince, holds real power, and is the lord of the North. So can he still sit in the upper position?

Cui Gang immediately stepped out and said, "There are no outsiders here. It's a family banquet. General, please take a seat."

Hu Luguang then sat on the upper seat, while Liu Taozi and Hu Luxian sat on both sides of him.

Sitting in the upper seat, Hu Luguang felt a little uneasy and felt that it was inappropriate.

Liu Taozi never cared.

"It is an honor for Beidao to come to Pingcheng, sir."

"Alcohol is prohibited here, so I will serve you tea."

Hu Luguang had tea with Liu Taozi, and he said: "I didn't come to defect because I saw you were powerful."

"I am a warrior and don't like fighting in the court. The emperor is going to Jinyang, and I don't know how much turmoil it will cause. I don't want to have contact with him, so I just came here. Don't think that I am a follower of the crowd."

Hu Luguang was a very open-minded person, and he always had the temperament to say whatever he wanted.

Liu Taozi nodded, "I know."

Hu Luxian rubbed his forehead. With his outspoken temperament, his brother was absolutely right when he said he could not participate in government affairs.

"Do you want to usurp the throne?"

Hu Luguang asked the second sentence.

Hu Luxian trembled all over.

"I just want to conquer the world, and I haven't thought about usurping the throne."

"Then when will we attack Jinyang?"

"Jinyang cannot be self-sufficient. When food becomes scarce, I can capture the army here without any effort."

"What about the south?"

"We will capture Henan in two years, Qingxu in three years, and the entire Qi state in four years."

"How are you going to treat me, Emperor?"

"The emperor is tyrannical and inhumane. I have heard many things about him. If it is true, I will kill him after the city is broken."

Hu Luxian has never been so scared in his life.

The two frontier warriors in front of him were rude barbarians. One of them really dared to ask and the other dared to answer.

Can you fucking say this so openly?

Lu Qubing and Cui Gang, on the other hand, looked calm and without any trouble.

Hu Luguang asked again: "How are you going to deal with the nobles and nobles of the clan?"

"Deal according to the law."

"I am neither Er Zhurong nor Emperor Wenxuan. I have no sins, so I will continue as always. If I commit a crime that warrants exile, I will be exiled. If I commit a crime that warrants death, then I will be executed."

Hu Luguang nodded, a smile finally appeared on his face, "Not bad."

Hu Luxian rubbed his forehead again.

Liu Taozi said: "The Turks have repeatedly invaded the border. The old general Bao is old. He can prevent them, but he is not strong enough to attack them. I wonder what the general thinks?"

"Give me six thousand border troops, and I will ensure that they have no time to go south."

"I can hand over all the border troops to you, but the frontier fortress cannot be compromised. Even a single village cannot be plundered by them."

"How many frontier soldiers do you have?"

"Thirty thousand."

"Okay, I'll issue a military order."

The two talked quickly and concluded the deal decisively.

When Liu Taozi left, Hu Luxian didn't even realize what happened.

It wasn't until the other party's carriage left that Hu Luxian looked at his brother, "Brother, what about the marriage? Where is my official position? Where are the children in the family? Why didn't you mention any of them??"

Hu Luguang looked into the distance calmly, "Those are not important."

General's Office.

In the backyard, Mrs. Liu Zhang started making clothes with a smile.

This time the person pacing back and forth turned out to be Liu Taozhi.

Liu Taozhi frowned and walked back and forth in front of Mr. Liu Zhang, worried.

Xiao Wu squatted next to Liu Zhang, looked at Liu Taozhi's appearance, and asked in a low voice: "Master, what's going on?"

Mrs. Liu Zhang laughed and said, "Your grandpa misses your brother so much. When he knew your brother was coming, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep or sit still."

Liu Taozhi stopped suddenly, looked at his wife beside him, and muttered something. In short, it was definitely not a good word.

The next moment, a soldier walked into the courtyard and saluted.

"Old lady, old mistress, the general is back."

Mrs. Liu Zhang stood up immediately, extremely excited, "Where is my son Taozi?"

Liu Taozhi became even more restrained and didn't know where to put his hands.

I saw many soldiers appearing in the distance, and they quickly guarded the door.

Liu Taozi's tall figure then appeared among the soldiers. He came quickly, the armor on his body making sounds.

"peach!"

Mrs. Liu Zhang hurried forward.

When mother and son met, Liu Taozi lowered her head and let her mother touch her face. The soldiers closed the door and stood outside.

"My son is suffering and suffering, has he ever been injured?"
