Chapter 609: Reason (Updated)
Chapter 609 Reason
The words of the Northern King were still lingering in Su Youren's ears, but the counterattack of the imperial court had already begun. Since Lin Xun became the king of Dingnan, the so-called personal soldiers of the king of Dingnan have gradually revealed their faces. said that it was a pro-soldier, but in fact, it was just the Lin family army left behind by Lin Tuo's rebellion. These soldiers are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they have restrained the process of the North King as soon as they meet each other, and even the North King does not know when these people came out, let alone when Chun Ge began to mobilize this side's forces.
"Zijin, the king of the north retreats to the north." Lin Fang received the news today, Lin Qiong and the others lived up to expectations, and the Lin family army, who had sharpened a sword for three years, was no longer the same as in the past.
This news didn't seem to surprise Chunge, "Do you want to continue to capture the northern border?" Lin Fang thought that at this time, the pursuit of victory was the best choice, and he would fight quickly, so as not to come up with a plan that could be obtained by the King of the North.
"The time is not coming." Chunge didn't want to solve it so quickly, the business was halfway, where was the reason to pay the balance.
It was at this time that Su Jianyu sent an edict to summon the official Chunge to enter the palace, but this time Chunge did not refuse, and followed the eunuch into the palace very peacefully. The palace did not change because of the war, but the eunuchs in the palace all acted like frightened birds.
Chun Ge was summoned directly to the imperial study, and the people waiting there were nothing more than Su Jianyu and his sons, since Su Jianyu issued the edict of guilt and the edict of the king of Dingnan, he seemed to be hiding from Chunge. It is also strange to say, on the one hand, he hopes that Chunge can defeat the enemy, and on the other hand, he hopes that Chunge will be defeated at the feet of the North King. It's just that Chunge's people haven't moved yet, and they are restraining the North King who is hundreds of miles away, this power Su Jianyu is ashamed of, and his eyes towards Chunge are becoming more and more complicated.
Chun Ge did not fall into the well because of the old tiger, he is still a personable Confucian, a law-abiding courtier, and he does not see the aggressiveness of the day in his words and deeds.
"I only know that the officials of the prime minister did a good job and fought well, and now it seems that I still underestimate you." Su Jianyu's tone was unusually flat.
With such a flat tone, only Chun Ge could hear the emotion, "How long does the emperor think the ministers will delay." ”
"January, a year" Chun Ge straightened up, "The emperor doesn't have to think about it, what the minister wants has long been strict, and the minister will definitely not do it." ”
"The emperor has repeatedly failed his ministers, but the ministers have failed to live up to the emperor and the world, and the emperor can rest assured." is worthy of the person who knows Su Jianyu best, and guessed Su Jianyu's mind in a few words, this reassuring pill, although it is spicy, is also the best medicine.
The three princes standing next to Chun Ge couldn't get involved in the confrontation between Chun Ge and Su Jianyu at all, and sure enough, they were still a little weaker than Chun Ge, and even Su Youjun had to admit this fact.
"I don't know when the prime minister will be able to calm down the chaos in the north." Su Jianyu actually felt that Chun Ge should be such an arrogant person, and such a rude Chun Ge reminded Su Jianyu of Lin Tuo and Guan Peng in the past.
Chun Ge smiled and said, "I don't know if the emperor wants to live the king of the north or a corpse." ”
"What a solution." Su Jianyu didn't quite understand.
"The minister thought that the death of the king of the north would definitely completely disrupt the rebels in the north, but it would do more harm than good." Chun Ge stood up with his hands in his hands and talked eloquently.
The life and death of the Northern King is a crucial point in this war. The dead king of the north can certainly make the court recover the north in the fastest time, but as soon as the king of the north dies, a series of loyal people under him will inevitably scatter all over the world and become an unstable factor in the rule of the Su. In addition, there are no weak soldiers under the North King, and no one can predict the counterattack at that time. Moreover, the king of the north is a traitor to the world, but he is a dedicated ruler to the north, and after the death of the king of the north, it will definitely cause the people in the north to complain about the court. Therefore, Chun Ge thought that killing the king of the north to quell the chaos was the next choice.
But it is this choice that will become the choice of many people, because this is the easiest, what most people want is temporary stability, including Su Jianyu, but Chunge's eyes are the stability of a world, he doesn't care who is in power, he just wants to return the world to a clean level.
"A living Northern King is worth a lot." Chun Ge coughed lightly, and continued: "The so-called henchmen of the North King in the hands of the North King will converge a lot, at least in the lifetime of the North King, there will be no trouble, and the people of the North will not be estranged from the court because of the death of the North King, and the most important thing is that the North King made great contributions to the court when he was young, but it is obvious to all, and the emperor does not want to lose the reputation of killing heroes in his old age." Chun Ge's words have seven points of banter, two points of irony, and one point of chill.
"But it is not a day's work to capture the king of the north alive, and the king of the north is powerful." Su Jianyu absolutely did not believe that Chun Ge could capture the Northern King alive in his lifetime.
Chunge's eyes moved slightly, and there was remorse in his heart, but it quickly dissipated, "The biggest difference between the North King and you is that he is a handsome man who has never been seen before or since, and you are an emperor. ”
"He will never be the emperor, it's not that his talent can't be reached, but his heart can't be ruthless." Chun Ge didn't want to say more, and promised a date, saying that he could let the North King surrender without a fight within three months, the only condition was to spare the life of the North King's family, of course, Chun Ge would not believe that Su Jianyu would spare the North King, after all, this was a person he gritted his teeth and hated all his life, but Chun Ge always had a way, so that Su Jianyu had to agree.
This battle between the Northern King and the imperial court was not as tragic as at the beginning, and the imperial court sent famous officials to meet the battle. Surprisingly, the prime minister did not leave Beijing immediately, but instead cultivated in the mansion in a leisurely manner, while at the same time, the king of the north was away from the capital day by day for a month, and the king retreated to the north. Unexpectedly, a team of men and horses appeared in the north, marching rapidly, and quietly neutralizing the back road of the North King, making the North King be sandwiched between the North and the capital.
At this moment, the victory and defeat of this battle are just beginning to be known.
"Father" Su Youxin saw that his father who scolded Fang Yu had aged a lot during this time, they couldn't have imagined that after preparing for so many years, it was still planted in Chunge's hands.
The king of the north touched Su Youxin's head lovingly, and did not show the weakness that Su Youxin thought, but smiled happily: "My father is stronger than others in my life, and even Su Yu's father is not in his eyes." When I was young, I fought in all directions, and I was never invincible, and the most popular person in the court at that time was not Su Jianyu, but Guan Chunge's father, Guan Peng. ”
"That man has a graceful demeanor, talent and bearing are not comparable to ordinary people, I have seen him, I am full of joy, I thought I could find an opponent in this life, but I never thought that this person was too smart to fold. I regretted that I couldn't have an opponent in my life who could fight heartily. "The loneliness of the North King when he was young, the loneliness of not having an opponent is not something that ordinary people can understand, such a character, in the end, he can only see Yu Xuan and the snake with Su Jian, I have to say that the life of the North King is not perfect.
Suddenly, this legendary figure who was once eager to be evenly matched, smiled heroically, "I never thought that in my old age, there would be an official song, I was looking forward to fighting with him, fighting against the water and giving everything I had, I haven't felt like this for many years." ”
"All this reminds me that I am also a fierce horse and a strong bow all the way, and I am a general, not a conspirator." The North King has never been tempted by the second throne, maybe he is just an opponent, an evenly matched opponent who can let him go.
"Father, he is an official Chunge." Su Youxin frowned, "The others have not yet arrived in the north, but they have forced us to not even return to the north, which shows that we have been planning for many years, and he is not unprepared." ”
"Then the battle, the horse leather shroud, so that it is not in vain to go through the world." The king of the north is not blindly confident, now he has long known that the defeat is decided, but it is a relationship between sooner or later, what he has to do now is just to pave the way for the people of the north king's mansion, and then fight with Guan Chunge to fulfill his wish.
"Father." Su Youxin obviously understood what King Bei meant, he knew his father, and it was useless to persuade him at this time.
When the two armies were in a stalemate for half a month, Chunge, who was far away in Beijing, secretly came to the front of the war. As soon as he appeared, he inspired many soldiers. Chun Ge is quite famous among the generals, and Chun Ge has not tasted defeat so far, this name is not something that ordinary people can call.
Chun Ge went north this time, just brought Lin Fang trees and small flags, traveled lightly, and was not like everyone wanted, bringing a group of people and horses to crush the king of the north. When Chunge first arrived before the war, he knew that the place occupied by the Northern King was easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there was no good strategy with more men and horses, it would never be possible to move the Northern King within a year and a half, but it gave them a chance to recuperate.
"Zijin has a solution?" Lin Fang and Chun Ge climbed together, and the terrain could be seen clearly and clearly, this battle was not easy to fight.
"The Northern King is bent on fighting, and presumably the time of the war is the day when the Northern Wangfu Army hides in the world." Chun Ge is well versed in the habits of the king of the north, this battle cannot be fought, if the war is left to Yousu, it will be more than ten years of uneasiness.
Lin Fang also felt that the sky would not let the Su family be stable, and since Su saw that Yu had ascended the throne, Su had a lot of trouble.
"The determination of the king of the north is firm, and you want to win or draw." The decision to start a war or not is not in Chunge, but in the king of the north.
I only heard the corners of Chunge's mouth hooked slightly, "Jumping out of the cage, there will be no victory and peace." ”
Chun Ge's appearance seems to be in his chest, Lin Fang and Chun Ge have been intersecting for a long time, and they have deeply felt that this person's intelligence is not comparable to ordinary people like them, and he has long been ready to watch a big show.
It was night, a calm and peaceful night, without the slightest waves. If it weren't for the soldiers patrolling the two armies, it would have been like going back many years. A thin man, dressed in a green shirt, seemed to be afraid of the cold night wind, and added a cloak outside, paced to the garrison of the Northern King, fighting against the wind, as if he was traveling here at night.
But the people under the king of the north know this, and the simple clothes are not some sour talents who are poetic and prosperous at night, but the official ministers who are famous all over the world and have power in the government and the opposition.
Looking at Chunge's seemingly nonchalant smile, the king of the north didn't expect that Chunge would come here, the enemy is current, and he has never seen the commander who sent him to the enemy camp.
The sound of the sword unsheathed only sounded in Chunge's ears, and the cold touch of the silver sword was already close to Chunge's neck, and he only smelled a bearded general, and said viciously: "Lord Wang, this guy is sent to the door, it is better to take him to sacrifice the flag." As soon as this remark came out, many cronies under the North King agreed with it, and it is no wonder that they have this idea, their line of work can be described as a success and a song, and a defeat is also a song, and it is inevitable to hold a grudge against Chunge.
However, even at the moment when everyone was about to kill Chun Ge in unison, this person still had a smile that was incompatible with this, and he didn't feel nervous.
"It seems that the official minister is not moved at all." The king of the north seemed to be mocking his soldiers, but he was actually putting pressure on Chun Ge again.
"Poof" A little smile flashed in Chunge's clear eyes, "Lord Wang, you are a very smart person, you won't do anything to me, just as I won't advocate the execution of the prince." ”
If Chunge dies at the hands of the North King, the scholars of the North King will not easily spare the North King, and Chun Ge is not one of those officials in the capital who does not have it, his foundation is in the south, but he is not without bargaining chips in the north, once he dies under the conspiracy and tricks, he will be overwhelmed by internal and external turmoil, and I am afraid that the North King will be overwhelmed.
Beiwang's face turned to the side, and he smiled comfortably again, and said, "Let's go down." ”
Hearing this, all the cronies withdrew from the claim, including the sons of the two northern kings.
"This king really didn't expect you to come." The king of the north made all the preparations for a battle with Chunge, but he was not prepared to meet Chunge.
Chunge raised his head, his eyes burning: "I don't want to fight." ”
"Hehehe" Beiwang laughed madly, "You attack left and right, take the lead, victory is only a matter of time, you say you don't want to fight, you don't want to fight." ”
"But I want to fight." The king of the north locked Chunge, "It's rare to meet an opponent in life, and battle is inevitable." ”
"Lord Wang, when I was young, I thought you were an emperor." Chun Ge gasped in his words, "But now I don't think you're the emperor's material." ”
seemed to see the confusion of the king of the north, and Chunge did not sell the guanzi, and immediately answered, "I have enough men and horses in the king of the north to slaughter the north, city by city." ”
"You dare." The North King slapped the tables and chairs beside him with one palm.
Chunge smiled bitterly, "You see that's the difference." ”
"If it were the Holy One today, he wouldn't stop it, but you are indeed furious." The desolation in Chunge's eyes became worse, "Actually, you all know that I won't do this, but why do I do it differently, it boils down to the different status of the people in your hearts. ”
"You regard the people as mountains, and the mountains cannot be moved, but he regards them as water, and when this pool of water is dry, it will be put into the next one, and as long as the sea does not dare, what is a small dry day." Chun Ge opened his eyes and looked at the lights outside, "In the past, I thought that the Son of Heaven should be like you, but this is not the case in the world. ”
"When sacrifice is inevitable, we must make a precise choice, even if the sacrifice is tragic at that time, compared to the world, it is not worth mentioning." Chunge still became the most despicable kind of person when he was young, but he didn't regret it.
"The first time this king heard that he cared about the life and death of the people, he was wrong." King Bei glanced at Chun Ge deeply.
Chun Ge could hear the disdain in the words of the king of the north, "The emperor cares about a country, not the people, there are officials to have officials, and there are officials to have emperors, layer by layer, each performing its own duties, if you care too much about the people, your court will make a turmoil, after all, people are selfish, and they can't afford to be unprofitable." ”
These words are Chunge's heartfelt words, which are the same as the so-called water to the clear and there are no fish, and Chunge also used this to determine that the king of the north is not suitable to be the king.
"Guan Chunge, your father is a great Confucian in the world, this king thought that you would not be able to go there, it turns out that this king is wrong, very wrong." The king of the north was angry that he had such a shameless opponent, "This battle will definitely take your life." ”
"Prince" Chunge didn't care about the threat of the North King, "I don't want to fight this battle, if you surrender and return to Beijing with me, you can still keep a little bit of your blood in the North Palace." ”
"Get out" The killing intent in the eyes of the North King ignited, he was afraid that he couldn't help but slaughter this guy.
Chun Ge got up slowly, "If you change your mind, I will stop fighting at any time to protect your life, no matter when and where, I will not regret it." ”
After Chunge left, he was not hindered, and he quickly returned to his position. When he saw that Lin Fang was standing in front of the tent, and when he saw him coming back, he didn't say much, but hurriedly pulled him back into the tent.
"It's cold at night, drink the ginger soup." Lin Fang had long known that Chun Ge would have such a trip, and Jiang Tang had prepared it early, for fear that Chun Ge would make a mistake at this juncture.
Chun Ge stared at the steaming bowl of ginger soup and didn't speak for a long time.
"Zixiu's talent is not inferior to me, he was not famous in the world when he was a teenager, I don't know if Zixiu has a dream?" Chun Ge casually turned out to be ginger soup.
Lin Fang didn't expect Chun Ge to ask like this, he was a little confused at the moment, and after Chun Ge drank the ginger soup and put the bowl aside, he reacted, "When I was young, I envied him, and I also wanted to be famous all over the world." But now that I'm almost at the age of not being confused, I feel that it's better to be bland. ”
Chun Ge nodded in agreement, "Zixiu is a good hand at keeping the results. ”
Lin Fang thought that Chun Ge planned to entrust the mundane affairs to him afterwards, and he would cultivate in Qingshan, so he hurriedly responded, "If you can't make a contribution, you can still keep it." ”
"That's good, that's good." Then Chun Ge didn't say much, and Lin Fang didn't bother Chun Ge.
There was no dream all night, and Chunge woke up early the next day, and the trees and small flags were shining left and right.
"Sir, the affairs of the north have been arranged." As soon as the little flag came, he was sent to the north to act in secret, and today he is here to return to his life.
Lin Mu's hand arranging his clothes paused, "You really have to do this." ”
Chun Ge doesn't care, "When you keep suffering from it, don't worry about me." ”
Unlike Chunge's calmness, the camp of the North King was blown up, and today there was news from the north that the dart shop in the north had kidnapped the relatives of a large number of North King soldiers in the name of the dart. This is a bad thing for those soldiers, didn't they follow the king of the north just to make their families live a good life, who would have thought that before they became famous, their families would be gone, how could they fight.
"How can Guan Chunge do this?" Su Youxin couldn't believe that Chun Ge would be such a despicable villain, even if the North King didn't care about the life and death of those people, but the soldiers wouldn't, the army was in chaos, and the army was scattered.
"The king of the north thought that Chunge was just scaring him that day, but who knew that it was actually a warning." The king of the north couldn't get used to Su Jianyu not taking people's lives as his life, nor did he live up to Su Jianyu's rule, so he rose up and rose up, of course, there were still a few wisps of selfishness hidden in it, but his heart for the people was true. The current situation, he really didn't expect.
"What an official Chunge, he really deserves to be Su Jianyu's apprentice, and his heart is really cold." The real person of the eight mountains said viciously.
Of course, how can Chunge's behavior be hidden from the world's leisurely mouth, and the people can't believe that the "immortals" who used to be in fire and water for them have now turned into demons who kill people without blinking, and Chunge's reputation in the world will be the lowest for a while. But Chunge himself still didn't care, not only confronting the North King.
Only ten days, the king of the north and the people of the world seem to have passed ten years, Chunge's resolute attitude indicates that this ruthlessness, many people have remembered, Chunge, who was twenty years old that year, will wipe out the north and leave no one behind, this person has never been soft-hearted.
"Father, what did you say?" The two brothers Su Youren couldn't believe that the words of compromise would come out of the mouth of the king of the north.
"Disarm, descend." The heart of the North King is much older.
On that day, Chunge stared at the hateful gaze of everyone, led the men and horses to accept the army of the Northern King, and the method of surrendering the army without a fight Chunge was used more and more ruthlessly.
The Beiwang family was waiting for Chun Ge in the main tent, and when he lifted the curtain and entered, the main seat was already vacant.
"Official, this king has fallen, those innocent people." What if the king of the north is not convinced.
"Lord Wang, you lost." Chun Ge said softly.
"What?" King Bei frowned, and suddenly thought, "You are deceiving the king to surrender." ”
"You've never touched those people?" Beiwang really can't believe it, how did all those news come about.
Chun Ge was like a puppet, blinking, "Lord Wang, you are defeated, defeated because I know your weakness, but you don't know my temperament, defeated because I know your strength, but you don't know my ability." ”
The North King's family finally moved, Chunge's non-fighting, not directly starting a war, fighting a heart-to-heart war, whoever can't bear it first, will lose, and the North King has been calculated by Chunge from beginning to end, if the North King's heart is firmer, he said how could Guan Chunge's become like this, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine.
"You lied to me about all this." The king of the north seemed to drain all the energy in his body, "You say so true, do so true." ”
"Everyone in the world believes, and so do you." Chun Ge began to be confused through the eyes of the North King, "The only one who believes in me is gone." ”
"Guan Chunge, why do you want to do this, is it for Su Jianyu?" Su Youxin roared directly, "Do you know, when he comes back to his senses, the first person he wants to kill is you, do you know." ”
"What are you helping him for?" Su Youren approached Chun Ge step by step, but he couldn't tell the emotions in his heart.
"Ahem" Chunge didn't answer, his face changed suddenly, and he coughed lightly.
Suddenly, a crazy thought appeared in Su Youren's mind, he trembled his hands, trembled, and said tentatively: "You won't be for Lin Xun, right?" ”
"You are doing so much, you don't want to use the Northern Wangfu to clear the Lin family's bad name." Su Youren felt that his idea was ridiculous when he thought about it, they were just adding fuel to the fire, how could Chun Ge kill them all, no, definitely not.
But some people in this world are often so unreasonable, looking at Chunge's smiling eyes, Su Youren fell to the ground, this is really the reason, the reason is so ridiculous. (To be continued.) )
