The moment he gave up the fight for the chief position of Beifu, he naturally became amiable and amiable in Wang Mi's heart.

As long as Liu Laozhi can maintain his composure, stop causing trouble, and wait calmly for Wang Mi to accomplish great things, he can reap the benefits.

Isn’t it beautiful?

Think about it, in the Jin Dynasty, Liu Laozhi already had a solid foundation. It can be said that as long as he does not act like a monster and is honest, he can securely occupy the second position as the commander of the Jin army.

Why do you say that?

Could it be that He Wujitan and the others were dead based on this?

Of course not.

Although Liu Laozhi was not a very peaceful person, he was not a fool either. He calculated this account very clearly.

In terms of military exploits, he really can't compare with Lao Tan and the others. Others' achievements have long been above his.

However, the army is not in a paradise. It also needs to pay attention to seniority.

In terms of seniority, Liu Laozhi was far above them.

In addition to the issue of seniority, of course there is also the issue of closeness and distance and the need for a bowl of water to be balanced.

Although Liu Laozhi's military exploits are not as good as those of several young generals, he is quite popular among the soldiers because of his seniority and extensive experience in Beifu.

Secondly, it was precisely because Liu Laozhi was an old general of Beifu and had a different path from Tan Pingzhi and others, and he was even the one favored by Xie Xuan, the original general of Beifu.

Even if Wang Mi is not very optimistic about Liu Laozhi and does not intend to reuse him, then for the sake of balance and to show a magnanimous appearance to the outside world, Wang Mi will not treat Liu Laozhi badly.

A variety of reasons are added together, and it is certain that as long as Wang Mi becomes emperor, Liu Laozhi's good days will have no end.

On the contrary, what benefits can he gain by following those people?

Even if there are benefits, it cannot be compared with Liu Laozhi's accumulation in Beifu.

Sima Shangzhi...

Is there something wrong with this person's brain? Does he really think that I will follow them?

Although Liu Laozhi had made up his mind, his inner emotions were still very complicated.

As a veteran general, he was once a powerful figure among the Beifu soldiers. If Wang Mi hadn't suddenly come to disrupt the situation with a group of brothers, then Xie Xuan's successor would have been himself.

It can be said that from this perspective, Liu Laozhi has always been lost.

But this sense of loss gradually weakened as the years passed. After all, one problem still had to be clarified, that is, although Wang Mi was ambitious, it was Xie Xuan who ultimately chose him to succeed him.

It was not that he took advantage of Xie Xuan's illness to seize power and usurp the throne.

It can even be said that Wang Mi's smooth promotion in Beifu was not due to Xie Xuan's credit.

It was Xie An's plan who had been strategizing and controlling the situation behind the scenes.

You must know that Wang Mi became the son-in-law of the Xie family, which was all facilitated by Xie An. Even Xie Xuan did not agree with it at first.

So, it was Xie's family who chose Wang Mi, and Wang Mi himself was just following the trend.

In this case, if Liu Laozhi is dissatisfied, he should go to his old boss Xie Xuan to discuss it. Of course, Xie Xuan has passed away, and Liu Laozhi may not be able to find him even if he wants to find him.

However, people are so strange.

Although he had calmly accepted the end of retirement, he was still excited for a moment when he received Sima Shangzhi's letter.

This is like a veteran who once fought on the battlefield, was forgotten in the countryside for many years, and was suddenly called up by the imperial court.

That feeling is simply unparalleled.

No one wants to be forgotten, especially those who have made great achievements. However, the current situation is like this. The era of young people has come, not to mention veterans like Liu Laozhi, even Huan Yi stood up like that

The generals who were in the 19th century gradually became less important.

Where is the stage for Liu Laozhi to perform?

So, I have to say that Brother Lao is still feeling disappointed in his heart.

Wang Mi, who was busy with the Northern Expedition, had no time to take into account his emotions. Sima Shangzhi's persuasion at this time was very tempting to Liu Laozhi.

But this was only temporary. Compared with the turmoil he would face after joining Sima Shangzhi, Liu Laozhi weighed it up and felt that it was safer to stand on Wang Mi's side.

The reality is there and there is no room for him to think wrongly. Who of you can defeat Wang Mi?

As long as you can, it's okay for me, Liu Laozhi, to follow you. The problem is, you don't want to push me out to be a gunman.

As long as Wang Mi is still the strongest, no matter how the Sima family persuades him, Liu Laozhi will not nod easily.

After thirty years in the military camp, he still has this experience.

However, although Liu Laozhi has made up his mind, will the changes in the current situation develop in the direction he expected?

Don't talk about him, not far away in Jiankang City, in the palace, the young Queen Mother Wang Zhenying was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Humans are very magical animals. In the late Jin Dynasty, people did not know that we and the cats and dogs living around us were actually the same thing in terms of broad classification.

We are all animals, and we all have innate abilities to predict things.

However, many times, before a crisis strikes, our ability to predict is in a sealed state.

Only when danger is close to us, or even extremely close, will this ability to predict things naturally turn on and provide us with clues.

What clue?

Of course it’s life-saving!
