Seeing Fang Fei slowly entering the door, all the important ministers of the Wu State who were waiting anxiously in the hall stood up, and Jiang Shihu, who was the leader, asked even more eagerly: "Fang Xiang, how did Your Majesty react?" ”

Fang Fei smiled bitterly, motioned for everyone to sit down again, and after sitting down himself, he lowered his voice and said, "The death of the Ten Buddhas hit Your Majesty very hard, and he vomited blood on the spot...... But you don't need to panic, the imperial doctor has already diagnosed and treated, Your Majesty is fine, as long as you rest for some time, you can recover. ”

The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then accepted the fact. They are all old ministers of Wu who have followed Fang La for many years, so they naturally know very well the relationship between him and Fang Shifo, and they don't know what to evaluate for a while. After a while, someone hurriedly proposed: "Then let's go to visit Your Majesty?" ”

"No!" As soon as he spoke, he was denied by Fang Fei and Jiang Shihu in unison, and after the two glanced at each other, Fang Fei continued: "Now is a very important time, the new defeat ahead, the hearts of the army and the people in Hangzhou are all unstable, and there can be no more branches!" Just now, I was the only one to enter the palace to perform this matter, and this is also taken into account! ”

These people are actually people who are in a good sense, and they just said this in a hurry, but now they immediately understood and nodded yes. Jiang Shihu took the opportunity to say: "What we have to do now is to share the worries of Your Majesty, and we must stabilize the hearts of the army and the people in the city, and we must not let the Song army have any opportunity to take advantage of." Especially this time Sun Tu has arrived in Lin'an, we should not take it lightly. ”

"I'll understand...... everyone nodded solemnly, everyone knew that it was now a critical juncture for the life and death of the Wu Kingdom, and there was no room for the slightest mistake. Someone even followed closely and said: "Later, the officials will arrange for people to inspect all parts of the city, so as not to give those with other intentions any opportunity to take advantage of." ”

"Well, it's all up to you." Fang Fei solemnly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I will watch it, there will be no mistakes, you can go." ”

More than a dozen high-ranking officials of the State of Wu did not say anything at this time, and all of them replied solemnly, and then strode away. And at this moment, Jiang Shihu, who had no intention of leaving, suddenly said: "Fang Jianhui, Jiang Hao, the two generals, please stay." ”

The two who were named immediately stopped and looked over with some strange eyes. Jiang Hao is in charge of the internal security affairs of Hangzhou City, and Fang Jianhui is in charge of the palace guards because of the relationship between the Fang La people, which has a great stake. In fact, there are really not many credible people in the newly established Wu regime, and half of the courtiers are all Fangla, and more than half are Manichaeans, but the only advantage is that they are loyal enough.

When the others went out, Jiang Shihu looked at Jiang Hao with a serious expression: "Jiang Hao, how many suspicious people do you have in your hands now?" ”

The so-called suspicious people do not necessarily refer to the early collusion with the Song court, or the further work of the Song army sent to Hangzhou, and many of them are scholars who have been influenced by the Confucian texts and have different intentions, and even officials in the Wu dynasty. Because of certain considerations and scruples, although they found these people, they did not eradicate them in a hurry.

Jiang Hao, as a garrison officer in Hangzhou, naturally knew these people well, and replied immediately: "There are exactly fifteen people, and the other twelve families are also in big trouble, and they have always sent people to keep an eye on them, and they will never escape from Hangzhou." ”

Jiang Shihu nodded with satisfaction, and then said coldly: "These people can't stay, they will start to arrest them tonight, if anyone dares to resist, they will be killed!" ”

"Military ......" Fang Fei was taken aback by his murderous arrangement, isn't this going to cause a bloody storm in Hangzhou? Now the people in the city are already panicking, if there is such a big movement, I am afraid that Hangzhou will really be in chaos.

But before he could say what he was opposing, Jiang Shihu had already intercepted him and said, "Fang Xiang, you should do extraordinary things when it is extraordinary." I know you're worried, but keeping them will only make the situation more unmanageable, so it's better to deal with these threats first. Moreover, as long as Jiang Hao moves fast enough, it will be enough to get everything done tonight, everyone will take it down, and there will be no trouble. As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Hao again.

Jiang Hao immediately puffed up his chest and said categorically: "Please rest assured that the general will live up to his trust, and he will never let things expand." ”

Fang Fei thought about it for a while, and finally accepted this radical but more secure method: "General Jiang, then the safety of Hangzhou City will be entrusted to you." ”

"The last general obeys!" Jiang Hao solemnly clenched his fists again, and then hurried away, tonight will be the time for the garrison army under his command to show their skills.

At this time, Jiang Shihu's gaze had fallen on Fang Jianhui's body, making him also look forward to his duties. Jiang Shihu exhaled slowly, and then said: "Now there is an extremely important matter to be entrusted to you, you will leave tonight to escort His Majesty out of Hangzhou and rush to Wuzhou." ”

"What!?" It was not Fang Jianhui who exclaimed, but Fang Fei, who was completely stunned at the moment, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't even speak. And after exclaiming, Fang Fei quickly lowered his voice and said eagerly: "Strategist, what do you want to do?" Now that the enemy is present, how can Your Majesty leave easily? And he just vomited blood, and he was about to raise it. ”

"It is precisely because of this that I feel that it is the safest way to send His Majesty back to Wuzhou." Jiang Shihu said with a resolute gaze: "If Your Majesty is still in the palace and you are sick, there will always be imperial doctors entering and leaving the palace, and the news will inevitably spread to the outside, and at that time, the defenders and the people will be affected." We are already at a disadvantage in the battle with the Song army, and if we continue to mess up, we will lose more than eighty percent. ”

"Then you shouldn't let Your Majesty risk leaving......"

"No, on the contrary, it is the safest for Your Majesty. Fang Xiang felt that we were so sure that we could defend Hangzhou City? Seventy percent? Probably? Even if there is only a chance that Hangzhou will be broken by the Song army, we can't let Your Majesty take such a big risk! Your Majesty is the foundation of my Wu country, if he has a good character, then everything for us will be completely destroyed, so ensuring his safety is the top priority.

"As for your fear that he will be in danger when he leaves the city, I don't think you need to be so worried. At least at this time, no one would have thought that we would send His Majesty back to Wuzhou, as long as the matter is done secretly, there are only a few people who know about it, and we can continue to make everyone believe that Your Majesty is in my Hangzhou, living and dying with the soldiers! ”

Fang Fei was stunned for a moment, he already understood the meaning of Jiang Shihu's words, and at the same time, he knew that the other party was indeed doing this for His Majesty's safety. Because compared to the city of Hangzhou, which has no danger to defend, there is still a natural danger in front of Wuzhou, once Hangzhou is really broken, at least His Majesty can rely on Wuzhou to make a comeback. This kind of practice is precisely where the essence of a soldier lies in the defense of defeat before victory.

But he still couldn't accept this kind of practice of reserving a backhand, and couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid Your Majesty won't agree to you doing this, doesn't that let him escape from the battle and abandon his subordinates, soldiers and civilians?" ”

"Now, for the sake of my Wu country, I can only grieve Your Majesty. Moreover, I chose this time also to consider that His Majesty would not allow this to happen, and now that he is sick, as long as he takes advantage of his sleep, I can send him out of the city smoothly. ”

Unexpectedly, this guy even took this detail into account, and couldn't help but make Fang Fei sigh with emotion: "Your reputation for being a last-ditch strategy is really true, and you have already taken everything into account." Indeed, it is the safest ...... for His Majesty to return to Wuzhou now," he said, he turned his eyes and looked at Fang Jianhui, who was still stunned: "Jianhui, such a big matter is entrusted to you, can you handle it?" ”

Hearing this, Fang Jianhui suddenly came back to his senses: "Fang Xiang, military advisor, I'm ...... The last general will do his best to protect His Majesty back to Wuzhou, even if my life is lost, I will not let Your Majesty have any mistakes. ”

"It's not a protection, it's a send. At least until His Majesty is safely returned to Wuzhou, you must not be abruptly turned back by his will. Jiang Shihu emphasized again: "Do you understand what I mean? ”

"The last general...... I see. Fang Jianhui hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in response. He really understood the importance of sending Fang La back to Wuzhou, and felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was much heavier.

"Then you go to prepare, after the third watch, you will set off, and Fang Xiang and I will arrange everything for you." Jiang Shihu took a step forward and patted the other party's shoulder as encouragement, so he let him leave.

Fang Feizhi sighed for a long time after a long while: "It seems that you are planning to fight to the death with Sun Tu and the Shandong army in Hangzhou, and you are even ready to fight." ”

"After all, I can't hide it. Yes, by now, we are extremely dangerous, and if we don't make a desperate fight with one mind, I'm afraid we won't even have a fifty percent chance of winning. Only by sending His Majesty back to Wuzhou can I dare to use this Hangzhou City as a bargaining chip to get rid of Sun Tu! In the end, Jiang Shihu's eyes were already full of murderous aura, he still remembered very clearly, his brother Jiang Dalong was killed by Sun Tu, and his great revenge had not yet been avenged, so he didn't dare to die like this!

"Actually, there are still Wanchun in military affairs...... He had been busy in the city since he knew the defeat ahead, and he couldn't even spare time to see His Majesty. ”

"Pang Shuai is indeed a rare famous player, but he may not be Sun Tu's opponent. This man is unpredictable and accustomed to deception, and I can only defeat him and kill him by following his train of thought to make arrangements! Jiang Shihu already knew Sun Tu very well, and immediately said: "Of course, it would be great if Pang Shuai could really hold Hangzhou, but if you have another hand to prepare, you are always prepared!" ”

Although the enemy is far from coming, many people in Hangzhou are already prepared.

Mountain rain, want to come!
