Gongsun Wulou said coldly: "My thoughts are made after careful consideration. They are not a whim. You are also a person who leads troops. You should know that in every battle, you should consider defeat before you win. I must make more than one choice to ensure a retreat. You can ensure the way out of your life. Do you understand?"

Gongsun Liuxiu gritted his teeth: "But now the Jin army is our number one mortal enemy. From Linqu to Guanggu this time, we have countless relatives and friends who died at their hands. These soldiers in the armored cavalry are as deep as the Jin army and cannot reconcile. They would rather die in battle than surrender to the enemy. Fifth brother, when you are considering retreat, you should also consider people's hearts and feelings. You can leave thirty-seven beautiful wives and concubines and don't take it seriously, but ordinary soldiers cannot do such free and easy as you."

Gongsun Wulou said in a deep voice: "It is because we cannot surrender to Liu Yu because we have taken into account the factors of the hearts of the people. If we block the way for the Northern Wei Dynasty and cannot open up the connection with the Later Qin Dynasty, what will you choose? Will you surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Gongsun Liuxiu curled his lips: "Even if he surrenders to the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is better than surrendering to Jin State. If the soldiers really want to choose, then Ning will surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Gongsun Wulou sneered: "So you only deserve to be driven by others and be merciless, because you have no brains and don't know what kind of interests are. Who is the Northern Wei Dynasty? Tell me?"

Gongsun Liuxiu said in a deep voice: "Isn't it the barbarian brought by Tuoba from the grassland? It's not a man-eating monster with three heads and six arms. What can't we cooperate with them?"

Gongsun Wulou said coldly: "Of course not. The Northern Wei and Jin State are different from the Later Qin State. They are from the grassland. The military system is different from the Central Plains. They will not allow such soldiers to be the generals at all. If they really surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty, they will really have to hand over all the troops and horses and let others slaughter them. Not to mention anything else, just say that the Helan tribe was originally an old grassland tribe that launched a war with Tuoba Si. Helan Lu was Tuoba Si's uncle, but even such a relationship forced them to rebel. Why?"

Gongsun Liuxiu's eyes lit up: "Because the Tuoba family wants to annex the Helan army?"

Gongsun Wulou nodded: "That's the case. Tuoba Si will not allow each tribe to continue to retain its own army, becoming the kind of force that may be rebelled at any time and not subject to his own strength. Therefore, at the Niuchuan Conference, when the empire was established, the divisions must provide troops, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the Northern Wei court. The tribe leaders and nobles must also concentrate the tribe leaders and nobles in the name of learning culture to form hostages. In addition, the tribes must also install Northern Wei officials to directly govern and interfere with the internal affairs of these tribes. You said, what is the difference between such governance and the county system in the Central Plains and the conscription?"

Gongsun Liuxiu murmured, "No wonder the Helan tribe wants to rebel. If you do this, you will no longer be an ally or a partner, but you will be a minister directly. But if we defect to you, will the Northern Wei Dynasty also take our troops like this? According to your statement, it seems that not all tribes will be deprived of the troops, they are just some elite troops."

Gongsun Wulou sneered: "Those tribals raised their troops together with the Northern Wei Dynasty, at least they are their own people. What are we? If we really surrender, they are just a stray dog ​​who is poor and powerful. They cannot let us continue to retain the army. Just like the armed forces of these powerful Han tribes in Hebei, they are not allowed to retain them now. I would rather go back to Guanggu than surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty. This choice is not necessary to think about!"

Gongsun Liuxiu said thoughtfully: "So, if the Northern Wei cut off our connection with the Later Qin, you will go to Liu Yi?"

Gongsun Wulou nodded: "The Northern Wei has not attacked Nanyan in recent years. Firstly, it is because they were also during the national mourning period and could not dispatch large troops. Secondly, it is because Helanlu has been guarding the northern border, which has left the Wei army invincible, and even in turn it disrupts the Hebei of Wei. So Tuoba Si needed to slaughter the entire Qinghe County before his death to establish his authority. Thirdly, it is because the Northern Wei Dynasty is in constant civil strife, and the tribes in Mobei have almost all rebelled. I heard that there is a tribe called Rouran that has become a climate, and it has a vague ambition to retake the old Tuoba Si road and establish the Mobei Khanate... So the Northern Wei is now defending the south and attacking the north, seeking stability in the south, and concentrating its troops to fight and suppress the rebellion."

"If we go to the Northern Wei Dynasty at this time, it will become a big trouble for them. The Northern Wei emperor of the Tuoba clan is not a guy like Yao Xing who is very fond of merit. He likes to surrender to rebel generals and thinks that they should either obey me or eliminate them on the spot. If we do not surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty, we will show them as enemies and will definitely eliminate them on their own initiative. Therefore, we must find another backer."

Gongsun Liuxiu frowned: "Can't we look for the Later Qin? Why do we have to look for Liu Yi's Jin army?"

Gongsun Wulou said angrily: "If I can get the Later Qin, would I still have to make such a choice? Isn't this just a move by the Northern Wei to isolate our connection with the Later Qin, and a subsequent choice in this case, otherwise, the Northern Wei would not let us occupy northwest Shandong without paying attention."

Gongsun Liuxiu gritted his teeth: "But can Liu Yi allow us to exist? Not to mention that he is the Jin army and our enemy, even as a general of Jin State, he is unlikely to let us continue to control the territory and troops."

Gongsun Wulou smiled slightly: "Of course it's not possible to change Liu Yu, but Liu Yi, his method of leading troops is different from Liu Yu. He does not have the ability to recruit national troops like Liu Yu and mobilize elite soldiers from all the Jin Dynasty. However, he has a state and has the support of many aristocratic families in Jiankang City. He has a lot of money and food, so he can buy many scattered soldiers and ronin warriors in this troubled era. As long as he is willing to fight for him, he will refuse everyone. Even there are many military leaders who are carrying hundreds or thousands of people to join him. He will directly give the title of military leader and draw a piece of land to allow them to become independent."

Gongsun Liuxiu opened his eyes wide: "Is this OK?"

Gongsun Wulou sneered: "When Zu Ti, the general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, went on the northern expedition, he also used this trick. This was a temporary method to make up for the lack of military strength of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Anyway, it was expanded outward, and these territorial troops were not yours. They were first attracted and then slowly merged. This is the practice of warlords like Liu Yi in troubled times. If Yao Xing protected us out of false benevolence and righteousness and good fortune, Liu Yi was out of his ambition to recruit soldiers and horses. We were useful to him, especially these two thousand armored cavalry, which he could not afford, so he would definitely take us in!"
