ps: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "first" and "HQB".

This battle was completely different from the battle of Hengyang Town, and it was also different from the old county raid and disturbance battle.

After the two battles in Hengyang Town, the entire town was almost dead, Liu Fang didn't have to face a pair of resentful eyes, the same was true of the old county, he led the Hengyang Wei Headquarters, although the training was insufficient, but it was also trained for three months.

But this time, Liu Fang played big, starting from Fengyang City, along the way, the march took less than half a month, and everyone was taken by everyone, regardless of the old and weak, women and children.

If you want to say that in the end, it's okay to say that people are alive, but as a result, all the young and strong are dead, leaving behind more than 10,000 old and weak, women and children, I am afraid that those people will tear Liu Fang apart and eat alive.

All this directly crushed Liu Fang's original nerves.

But this cry really aroused Wu Zheng's compassion.

In fact, Liu Fang's straightforward words hit the most secret and soft place in Wu Zheng's heart.

He is also an ordinary person, who has just crossed into this era, and he is also full of pride, wanting to turn the tide, save the building from the collapse, and solve the upside down of the people.

At first, Wu Zheng was also excited and proud to make desperate bets again and again, in exchange for victory after victory.

But gradually, there were more battles, more casualties, and too many people died in this great cause against the Qing Dynasty...... Faced with the death that turned into numbers, Wu Zheng slowly became numb, and even if he won, he was already very little excited.

Wu Zheng even wondered if he had done something wrong, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty had won the world, after all, the war was over, and no more people would die.

And he set up this flag on the southeast coast, which triggered a three-third situation in the world, and indirectly caused a tripartite separation, even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty was driven back to Guanwai at this time, next, between Yongli and Jianxing, what should happen?

It's not just about who is the emperor, it's about the competition between the two major interest groups, who is willing to let it?

Wu Zheng is worried that because of his appearance and actions, he will make the world worse.

Liu Fang's words were vulgar, but he was right, once he succeeded, he would be able to dry up all his bones, and if he could put it down, Wu Zheng also wanted to ...... Go home.

It's been more than six years, and his son and daughter are three years old, but Wu Zheng can't even remember what he (she) looks like.

Wu Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart, after going through a lot of hardships, he might still be a loser.

The resonance caused by this psychological torment finally relieved Wu Zheng, and demoted Liu Fang to three levels in a row, demoted him to General Mingwei, and served as the commander of Hengyangwei to make meritorious contributions to the post of commander of Hengyangwei, so as to observe the after-effects.

At the same time, Hengyangwei was ordered to return to his original station to rest and recuperate, and he was not allowed to move without an order.

Liu let go, took the scarred Hengyang Wei and 10,000 old and weak, women and children away, and returned to Hengyang Town.

He promised the families of the deceased land, houses, and a new home.

Those old and weak, women and children agreed, and they no longer hated Liu Fang.

Perhaps, hope after despair can make people forget everything.

……。

Maybe it was Liu Fang's trouble.

This night, Li Dingguo and Wu Zheng sat silently opposite each other by the Shi River.

There is a moon in the sky, and wine in front of you.

But half an hour passed, and no one had the intention of touching the wine bowl.

Just sit and look at each other.

In fact, Li also wants to live this kind of life...... A few acres of thin fields, a cow, a pound of turbid wine, three bowls of rice, children and grandchildren around the knees, family fun...... How wonderful! ”

The bold and hearty Li Dingguo can say such things, which is indeed rare.

But Wu Zheng was in no mood to tease, just listened silently.

"Li knows that you are maintaining General Liu." Li Dingguo sighed, "If it weren't for this treatment, Liu Fang would not be able to ...... in the future Hospice! ”

Wu Zheng's face fluctuated a little, and he said leisurely: "The mighty general, after all, lives in imagination, and no one can understand the pain behind this brilliance...... Liu Fang is better, after all, he is fighting against foreign races...... But if you and I are ....... ”

Wu Zheng didn't continue.

Because needless to say, Li Dingguo can understand.

"You...... Are you so sure that Emperor Jianxing must be more holy than His Majesty? Li Dingguo became a little angry again.

Wu Zheng pressed his hands and signaled Li Dingguo not to worry.

"For thousands of years in China, all the dynasties have changed, they have all flourished first and then declined, just like life is old, sick and dead, it is the law...... Pinning the hopes of the country and the nation on a Ming monarch is the biggest drawback for thousands of years. ”

Li Dingguo's face changed greatly, he was very surprised, even more surprised than Wu Zheng said that he wanted to be the emperor.

Although Wu Zheng had expressed his willingness to "be a hypocritical monarch" on the first two occasions, he still couldn't accept it when he said it so clearly.

"Ridiculous!" Li Dingguo shouted angrily in a low voice, "The king is the minister...... For thousands of years, our people have followed the rites of the Three Principles and the Five Constants...... If you do such a great rebellion, you will be reviled by the world and will be reinted for ten thousand years! ”

Wu Zheng sighed slightly, isn't it more than three hundred years behind, is it so difficult to accept?

Isn't it interesting to have to offer a god to your head?

But Wu Zheng also knows that this method really doesn't work, the people are used to having an emperor on their heads, and if they really change it, I'm afraid that they may really become the target of all enemies, and even more intolerable than their own "stealing the country".

Wu Zheng no longer insisted, and said, "I want to see Emperor Yongli...... Can you introduce it? ”

Li Dingguo frowned and said, "You want to convince Your Majesty...... Let's save some tongues. ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "It's not just persuasion, I mainly want to...... Determine the strategic offensive direction of the two armies, otherwise, the Great Western Army and the Northern Expeditionary Army will go hand in hand, and if you are not careful, there will be friction...... Plain let the Qing court laugh. ”

Li Dingguo listened, nodded and said, "That's right...... But Your Majesty will not allow the Northern Expeditionary Army to exist in Henan and Huguang, and for this matter, Your Majesty has already applied to me for more than a dozen wills...... Forget it, if you mention this matter to Your Majesty, maybe it will be a mess that can't end. ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "Not necessarily." ”

"What do you mean?"

"This time and that time...... Even the King of Qin has been sealed, what else can't be discussed? ”

Li Dingguo's face changed again, and he sighed and said, "...... Perhaps, Your Majesty has a last resort. ”

Wu Zheng suddenly got up and said with a smile: "It's late at night...... This time, the King of Jin accompanied me to visit, so tomorrow I will accompany the King of Jin to see Emperor Yongli, which can be regarded as a return for the peach. ”

Li Dingguo got up slowly, stared at Wu Zhengdao, "You really want to go?" ”

"Of course."

"Aren't you afraid that Sun Kewang will take you as a hostage?"

Wu Zheng laughed, pointed at Li Dingguo and said, "With the King of Jin with me, what am I afraid of?" ”

Li Dingguo was stunned, then raised his hand, and also pointed at Wu Zheng and scolded with a smile: "Looking at your face, I originally thought you were a real person, but I didn't expect you to be so slippery?!" ”

Wu Zheng is right, with Li Dingguo here, what do you have to worry about?
