Chapter 940: Dry bones in the grave!
Long Lingxiu is a crazy woman, she doesn't listen to anyone, and there is only one person in this world who can advise her, and this person is the playboy who has been with her for decades.
Henan's affairs are due to the father-in-law, otherwise I really don't know what the result will be, how this scene should end.
But even if the playboy persuaded Long Lingxiu, it would be useless, because now that the forces of Gyeonggi and the Central Plains have been out of balance, can Lu Zheng still let Gyeonggi go at this time? Let Long Lingxiu return to Gyeonggi from Henan to live his old life? Obviously that's no longer possible, that's all wishful thinking......
Tan Cheng didn't dare to have any delay, he immediately ordered the army to retreat quickly, and in this way, the so-called offensive launched by Long Lingxiu in Lianghe completely collapsed, and Lu Zheng finally made Gyeonggi's strength suffer a big blow without spending a single soldier, and at this time in Bianzhou, the tone of everyone in Lu Zheng's meeting hall had completely changed.
The generals deliberated, and someone immediately proposed: "Now that we have collapsed Long Lingxiu's offensive, at this time we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and simply take down Gyeonggi in one go, so that our north is basically unified, and we only have the land of Shandong in the whole north, so we have a complete grasp of the overall situation!" ”
This proposal was immediately responded to by many people, including Chen Lizhong, who suggested to Lu Zheng: "Lord Wang, I think this proposal is particularly appropriate, now that Gyeonggi is eyeing us the most annoying, what should we do at this time?" We should destroy them all, and only when Gyeonggi is swept away, can we have peace in the two rivers, and we can recuperate! ”
Lu Zheng did not make a clear statement on this proposal, because there are many opponents, and these people also have their own interests, so Lu Zheng realized a very serious problem, that is, as his power grows, the forces below now have their own factions, and they are secretly fighting very fiercely.
And what is the result of this situation, the most serious situation is that everyone does not discuss matters when they are deliberating, and everyone's consideration is for their own interests, which makes Lu Zheng very vigilant, because such considerations may lead to extremely serious consequences!
"Lord Wang, this time the situation of the township test has come out, there are many children who participated in the township test in the Lianghe region, and it should be said that there are considerable results in the township test," Luo Guancai very respectfully reported to Lu Zheng about ......the relevant matters of the township test.
Lu Zheng nodded and said: "Master Luo has worked hard, I have heard all this, Master Luo acts impartially, and the people below respect you very much!" And many of the candidates for the township examination are also from the poor family, we just want to be meritocracy, the poor scholars we must dare to use, reuse, let them challenge these powerful lords, so that our dynasty can have hope, and the country will have a future! ”
Luo Guancai nodded and said: "The prince's words are really reasonable, with your words, I believe that all the scholars in the world will return to their hearts!" In the troubled times, only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world, and the prince is the one who wins the hearts of the people. ”
When Luo Guancai said this, his eyes were full of brilliance, and Yang Qingyun squinted at Luo Guancai, thinking of a lot of things in his heart. Recently, many people are like Luo Guancai, all kinds of people are trying to persuade them, and Lu Zheng, who is persuaded to advance, has also tried their best.
Some people are for speculation, some are for the family, some are for their personal future, in short, there are all kinds of people, but few people really think about Lu Zheng!
With the current situation that Lu Zheng is in, embattled, and surrounded by enemies, at this time, as long as he takes a slight wrong step, he may fall into a situation from which he will never recover, in this case, Lu Zheng is not cautious and careful, and dares to be rampant?
But Lu Zheng has 10,000 reasons to believe that Luo Guancai has absolutely no other thoughts, Luo Guancai is really good for Lu Zheng, of course, his statement is also very euphemistic, which makes Lu Zheng easier to accept, no matter how he says it, the heart of the world's scholars is not deliberate by Lu Zheng, in Lu Zheng's heart, he just wants to give the reader a way out.
Thinking of this, Lu Zheng's heart couldn't help but move, and said: "Master Luo, the current situation is at a crossroads between our two rivers, and many strategists have suggested that we should immediately send troops against Gyeonggi, take Gyeonggi by the way, and then settle down, what does Master Luo think of this proposal?" ”
Luo Guancai was stunned for a moment and said, "Soldiers are also big things, and it has always been difficult to move lightly. In addition, although Gyeonggi is available, but the dog can also jump over the wall in a hurry, everyone in the world thinks that this time is a good opportunity, I am afraid that even Gyeonggi's own people will think that it is precarious, in this case, what difference does it make if you take Gyeonggi or not?
You have taken the land of Gyeonggi, and you still want to seal this land to others, it is better to let Long Lingxiu live there temporarily, with her strength and temperament, she can't keep the land of Gyeonggi at all, since you can't keep it, why should we rush to take it?
Long Lingxiu is a dry bone in the mound, there is no need to pay attention to such people, we still recuperate and recuperate, this is a way to relax! ”
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Luo Guancai would have such a high opinion, listen carefully to Luo Guancai's words, every word is a pearl!
Lu Zheng suddenly thought that Long Lingxiu didn't have much of a threat in the first place, and this time he lost his troops again, and there were only a few people in Gyeonggi, and he was not worried that Long Lingxiu would recruit troops and expand his power, in this case, if Lu Zheng wanted to go all the way to the dark, he would desperately persecute the other party, maybe Long Lingxiu would jump off the wall in a hurry and bite himself, and this bite would be three points into the bone!
Now that he simply ignores her and lets her make trouble in Gyeonggi, Long Lingxiu no longer has the ability to pose a threat to Lianghe, so why bother to provoke a war at the expense of the people and money?
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Zheng was very excited and said happily: "Listening to Master Luo's words, I suddenly opened my mouth. I, Lu Zheng, have been running around for so many years, what are I doing in all directions? What is done is not just for the people of the world, the world is stable so that the people can be rich, and the country and society can be strong.
Now that my Lianghe has recuperated, people are at ease, Luo Shi is leading and reliable, and talent selection has also entered a very benign track, so within a few years of development, Lianghe and Liaodong under my rule will become unprecedentedly rich and powerful, in this case, how much territory do I occupy and how heavy is it?
The heart of the world is first of all the people's hearts to think about, so that the world can be determined, relying on force alone to fight, killing the Quartet is refreshing, but the consequences are also great! I understand that I will not patronize the land of Gyeonggi, and now it is important to recuperate, and we will not fight again in three years! ”
After Lu Zheng said these words, his heart became extremely calm, you must know that before today, all he thought about in his mind were Shandong, Gyeonggi, Huainan Province, Jiangnan Province and Lingnan Province.
Because these places are not conquered for a day, Dakang will be divided and cannot be unified one day. But now Lu Zheng suddenly thought that instead of using troops on all sides and fighting with force, it is better to use the land of the two rivers now, accumulate grain, build high walls, wait patiently, and accumulate strength, as long as he makes himself strong, why worry that these places cannot be pacified?
Lu Zheng's current force can indeed be called the first in the world, but the first force can only guarantee the defeat of the enemy, but after defeating the enemy, to govern one side, to go through a little better for the people, this needs a large number of talents, after so many years of conquest, the talent has withered, even if Lu Zheng occupies some places, I am afraid that in the end, he may not be able to govern these places well.
It is said that after Long Lingxiu fled back to the capital in a gloomy manner, she re-lived in her princess's mansion, but for several days, she couldn't sleep at all, and it could be said that she couldn't sleep well.
Not only did he have trouble sleeping, but Tan Cheng, who was in charge of the army, was also unable to sleep at night, everyone in the civil and military affairs was in danger, and many timid officials slipped out of the capital with the help of Cao Yun ships, and some fled to Jiangnan with the help of Cao transport ships, and those who went directly and secretly out of Beijing to Henan and Hebei, in a word, the hearts of the people have been dispersed, and almost everyone understands that the land of Gyeonggi is already precarious, as long as Lu Zheng is willing, he can send troops to level Gyeonggi at any time, and by that time, the so-called elite soldiers and strong generals under Long Lingxiu's hands will be wiped out, The capital will inevitably be taken by Lu Zheng!
But time passed day after day, the two rivers and the calm settled, Lu Zheng did not mobilize a single soldier, and the situation of the powerful lords and wealthy families in Gyeonggi and the soldiers waiting for officials at all levels did not appear, so that all the preparations made by Tan Cheng became useless, this situation is undoubtedly very funny and particularly ironic.
In the end, Long Lingxiu's scouts in Lianghe finally sent a letter of approval, and Lu Zheng didn't think about dealing with Gyeonggi at all, because since Gyeonggi was already in the bag, there was not much difference between taking it and not taking it.
To describe this situation in the words of Lu Zheng during the deliberations, the enemy thinks that we want to take it, but we will not take it, and the enemy thinks that we will not take it, maybe we will send troops to take it tomorrow.
Gyeonggi Dragon Lingxiu is a dry bone in the mound, if we want to take it, we can take it casually, but now we just need to govern the place with peace of mind, rest and recuperate, so that Gyeonggi has nothing to do, the world has nothing to do, and the people are too safe and healthy, isn't this what we want?
Long Lingxiu heard such a message from the scout, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth and scolded: "Lu Zheng'er is really cunning, this kind of heart really makes people want to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!" ”
Tan Cheng also heard the news, and in his own residence, Tan Lei couldn't help but sigh and said, "Lu Zheng, this person, the scheming is really terrifying!" I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves, Lu Zheng can take the capital at any time, but if we want to guard against thieves every day, when will this be the end? It's completely endless! ”
