48. Evacuation (1)
Zhu Di said to Yuelong City, "Forget it, let her go." ”
And Yue Longcheng glanced at him, but still chased after me. When we were both children, Jin Yiwei had a training on pursuit and escape, and every time the result was that I couldn't escape the pursuit of Yuelong City, and he could never escape in my hands, for this, I often had trouble with him, and then I confessed, I will never be as good as him in this regard, he has an innate talent. This time was no exception, and he stopped me by a small stream.
"I came up with the idea of releasing the flooded city, and it was my proposal not to tell you, I know you too well, if you knew, I would definitely stop it. If you're going to blame anyone, it's me. "Yuelong City stood in front of me, and his right hand habitually touched his sword scabbard.
I couldn't help but sneer and glanced at his scabbard, "How long has it been since I've seen you?" So you've been busy with this. Why, do you not only want to hide it from me, but also draw your sword from me? ”
Yue Longcheng's face turned red, and he removed his hand from the scabbard, "Yi'er, this is war, and you can't be willful. ”
"When Daddy used to train us, he always said that we both had shortcomings, I was too sensitive, and you, too attached to your principles, only care about the result in everything, regardless of the process, even if you hurt countless people."
Yue Longcheng looked directly at me and said lightly, "Helian, is it because you have been away from Jinyi Wei for too long?" Have you forgotten, this is the positioning given to us by the Jinyi Health Department, and it is to train us to be such people. As long as the result, regardless of the process, it is better to kill a hundred by mistake than to miss one, order, carry out the order. Have you forgotten all this? ”
I was cold, looking at Yuelong City, and my mind was full of memories of the scene when I used to train, bleeding, hurting, and even killing. Yuelongcheng is the most loyal Jinyi guard, and now he is under Zhu Di, and he has become the most loyal warrior. He was right, and he was right.
"You haven't forgotten, and neither have I! It's you who you haven't figured out who you are now. King Yan is fighting the world, do you think our ambition is only to win the war? If he wins the war and loses the hearts of the people, how will he conquer the world on the throne in the future? Why is it that Li Jinglong is vulnerable with an army of 600,000, and Tie Xian is only with a group of unarmed people, but this Jinan City cannot be attacked? I grabbed Yue Longcheng's collar, lifted him fiercely, and pushed him back, Yue Longcheng staggered back several steps, stared at me blankly, and couldn't say a word.
"The people are innocent." I gritted my teeth and said, while running deep into the woods, Yuelong City never chased after me, just stood in the distance, looking at the other side of the river bank stupidly, and my back turned into a statue.
I ran with tears in my eyes, and when I got to the woods, I finally couldn't help it, and it fell drop by drop. Because the mountain bandits were too arrogant and had not yet been trained, they could not integrate with the army at all, so they had to be placed in this forest first, and from a distance, I could hear shouting, scolding, fist fighting, and even the laughter of the Qinglou woman everywhere in the forest, I frowned and walked away.
I spent the whole day alone in the wilderness, and from time to time I encountered ragged homeless people, and in the evening I took off everything I could take off and give them to the homeless, even a large robe that I was wearing outside and gave it to my sister who was one of the two orphans. And when it got dark, it began to rain again, and it became heavier and heavier. Spread your hands, tilt your head, and let the rain soak every inch of your skin. Finally, I made up my mind and walked to the camp again, and when I went back, Sanbao was wearing a coat, standing at the entrance of the camp, anxiously waiting for something, and when he saw me, he greeted me excitedly, "Where have you been?!" We've been looking for you all day, you know? ”
"Yes." I replied with a blank face, "But I think you should use your manpower and material resources to continue to release water into the city, and break through the city as soon as possible, so that those people will suffer less, instead of looking for me." ”
Sanbao touched his nose, stopped talking, stretched out an umbrella, and hit me on the head, "You're wet all over, go back and change your clothes." Otherwise, you'll get sick. ”
"If you get wet, you will get sick after a while, so what should those homeless people do, won't they all die of illness?" I glanced at him, then left his umbrella and walked towards Zhu Di's camp, Zhu Di's tent was guarded by two guards, and when they saw me, they stretched out their swords, "The prince said, I don't see anyone today." ”
I said out loud, "Am I gone?" ”
The guard was embarrassed and said, "The prince has been alone in it since the morning, and it is useless to eat. No one ever went in. ”
"Don't touch the ashes, don't embarrass these little brothers, you sent a nameless fire here in the morning, Zhu Di came back angrily after you left, and then obviously regretted that he didn't hold you, and soon sent a few teams of people to find you, and he may still be angry until now." Zhu Yanxue suddenly came from behind me, holding a red oilcloth umbrella, the same color as the clothes on her body, even in the pouring rain, it was still dazzling.
I glanced at her, her words were arrogant, and her expression was very provocative, and I couldn't help but say, "Take care of your subordinates, this is the army, not the mountains, don't eat, drink, prostitute and gamble on the side of the army." ”
Zhu Yanxue's face changed slightly, and he immediately raised his chin and said, "It's hard for men to join the army and fight, if you don't have some fun, won't you suffocate to death?" Besides, those are prostitutes, and if they have fun, they will have fun, and they will not be guilty of your lesson here. ”
"Since you have joined the army, you have to keep the order of the army, and your subordinates have all been dismantled and organized into teams, scattered and handed over to the hands of various lieutenants for training, don't let them mess around in the woods anymore." Zhu Di's voice came from the tent, and the soldiers helped him lift the curtain, and he turned around and said, "Helian, you come in." Zhu Yanxue, do you go and tell your subordinates, they will all have a new master in the future. ”
Zhu Yanxue smiled, "Yes, Lord Wang." After speaking, he smiled at me, "The person I came to defect to is King Yan, I only listen to his words, and your words can't be counted." ”
I didn't answer her, but followed Zhu Di inside. Zhu Di sat back in his chair and looked up at me, "Where have you been?" ”
"I didn't go anywhere, I just walked around."
"After a day of walking, is there anything else you want to say to me?"
I looked at him, and then looked outside the tent, a lightning bolt suddenly struck, the light flashed so strongly, almost penetrating the oily canvas of the tent, illuminating it for a moment, I was a little scared, my body shrank a little, Zhu Di looked at me, "Afraid?" ”
"There are so many homeless people out there, and if I'm scared, what can I do with them?" I looked directly at Zhu Di and questioned him.
Zhu Di put his hand on the table and frowned, "If Tie Xian opens the city gate and surrenders as soon as possible, you don't have to let so many people suffer." He is under the banner of the imperial court and makes the people suffer. He was the real initiator. ”
"He is a civil official, how much ability he can have, what he gets is the hearts of the people, the more you attack, the more closely the people in the city will be united, the loose line is easy to deal with, and the twisted rope is terrible."
Zhu Di swept the inkstone and pen and paper on the ground, "What, even you want to start turning against me?" ”
In the past, Zhu Di would only be angry with me, but now this Zhu Di in front of me is acting against me, my body began to tremble slightly, Zhu Di is a lion ready to go, he disguised himself as a gentle sheep in front of me, after a long time, I forgot that his true identity is actually a lion, now at first glance, I can't help but be scared again, my voice trembles a little, but I still pretend to be brave and say, "Your majesty has to be put away for the time being, you can have it when you are the king of Yan, and you can't lack it when you sit on the throne in the future." It's just that now, what you want to get is the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the people are not won by majesty, but by kindness. ”
Zhu Di slowly lowered his head and stopped talking, but I could see his chest rise and fall slightly, I knew that my words were simply challenging his prestige, but I didn't want him to be cruel in order to reach the top.
"Let me tell you, with your current unstoppable momentum, Zhu Yunwen's throne will fall into your hands sooner or later, and taking over the throne as you is more justifiable than him, even if you don't have the edict and gift of the first emperor. The premise is to get the people of the world. The people don't care who has the blood of the most orthodox royal family in their bodies, and whether their emperor is weak or powerful, uncle or nephew, they only look at how well they live. Judging from the current situation, Zhu Yunwen is the emperor, but the people are suffering from the war, and when you become the emperor, as long as you let them live and work in peace and contentment, they can forget that the suffering they are suffering now actually comes from you as soon as possible, but if you cause them too much pain, it will take time to forget. ”
Zhu Di stood up, his eyes were like a fire, quietly staring at me, and I bravely faced him. After a long time, he spoke, "Do you think I can be the emperor?" ”
"Didn't you do all this today to be emperor?"
"It's not." Zhu Di said coldly, "Everything I did was just to protect my homeland, my soldiers, and my citymen. Now such a momentum is just because of the boat against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. I've never coveted that seat. ”
I laughed, "I always thought you were wise, but I didn't expect you to say such a thing, you started this unfortunate battle, but you didn't even think about the outcome after the battle." ”
