Forty-one: Back to Luoyang

Chen Hengzhi's words undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention, even Emperor Wu glanced at this general, and saw Chen Hengzhi said very resolutely: "Your Majesty, Xiyi was also a vassal of the Great Zhou State in his early years, but for hundreds of years, the Central Plains was in chaos, and it was gradually separated from the Central Plains, but both words and living habits are no different from us Yunguo people, as the saying goes: Conquer people with virtue, we defeated Xiyi Kingdom, and we can't let them pose a threat to us in a short time, but what about ten years later?" What about a hundred years from now? The seeds of hatred will only intensify, so that the border will not be peaceful for a day, and if it is conquered by force, then Xiyi will be the next Sichuan! ”

Chen Hengzhi's words were reasonable, but in Yun Huaying's opinion, he obviously wanted to cut off his beard, so he snorted coldly and said, "General Chen is a bit exaggerated, right?" What do they have in Xiyi? The total population is only 600,000, and half of the old, weak, sick and disabled have been cut off, and they have 30,000 soldiers and horses at most according to the ratio of 1 out of ten, so what is they afraid of? Besides, Xiyi is barren, and if they want to hit Liangshan, it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky, besides, isn't there Shu as a barrier? Once Xiyi has a change, then Shu and Yongliang will form a corner, and when the time comes, discipline Xiyi to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot! ”

Yun Huaying said with a fist and said to Emperor Wu: "Father, the son-in-law asks for orders to crusade against Xiyi and make contributions to Dayun!" ”

Emperor Wu nodded and said: "Don't worry, listen to what General Chen says" Emperor Wu raised his chin and motioned for Chen Hengzhi to continue, only to see him say: "In fact, whether it is Shu or Xiyi, what they want is nothing more than not to be annexed by the big powers, we might as well set up a yamen in the local area for communication with Yiguo, they can be economically autonomous, civil autonomous, but not militarily autonomous, all armies must be abolished, and only enough to maintain social order must be retained, if there is any rebellion in the country, We can send troops to help suppress it, and open the country, support their intermarriage with the people of Shu, after three or five generations, they will definitely be indoctrinated, and our rear in Xitui will be completely stable! ”

Chen Hengzhi is still a military general in the end, although he has some political acumen, but what he said is not so impeccable, and he was refuted by Yun Huaying in a blink of an eye, only to see him say: "It sounds good, but who knows if you are setting up a vassal king for the Great Cloud Country again?" ”

"yes......"

Everyone looked at Yunhua Ying's horse, only to see Chen Hengzhi say: "In fact, a large part of the difference between this and the vassal king is that we are enough to limit their military strength, they are just exercising administrative autonomy, but the local taxes do not belong to us."

Emperor Wu said at this moment: "The idea is good, you are from the army, it is rare to have such concerns, but is it worthy of our pity to let a barbarian who was driven by my iron cavalry to the wild mountains and wilderness?" The plan is good, but they don't deserve to be treated like this by my big cloud! Yun Huaying, you have gathered the soldiers and horses, go and talk to them, either you will be a minister, and half of the total tax revenue of the imperial court will be provided to me every year, or you will wait for the death of the country! ”

"Erchen takes orders!"

Yun Huaying glanced at Chen Hengzhi proudly, and then walked out of the account, Chen Hengzhi wanted to say something, but he said: "Your Majesty, we are actually ......"

Emperor Wu said impatiently: "Okay! General Chen doesn't need to say much, I know your good intentions, but now is not the time to be merciful to foreign countries, let's discuss the attack plan for the wolf clan, Chen Hengzhi, now that I have merged you into the Yuntianqing Legion and followed him to attack Helan Mountain, what do you think? ”

"This ...... But by His Majesty's orders! ”

Chen Hengzhi saw that the plan was fruitless, so he had to give up, and the next day he followed Yun Tianqing to the north together, and as a deputy general, but he heard the news of Yun Tianqing's mental malaise in the army, and when he saw that this was the case today, he took advantage of the march and asked: "Master Hou, I haven't seen you for a while, why do you always feel that you are a little ......?"

Chen Hengzhi wanted to speak and stopped, only to see Yun Tianqing say, "What do you think?" "Nuancai Literature Network

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, once the last general was in the rivers and lakes, I saw some people who smoked Wushisan, their spirit is very unstable, sometimes crazy and sometimes sluggish, and they are sleepy all day long, and it is difficult to concentrate, only by sucking Wushisan can they temporarily look ......like ordinary people, and the weight will drop very much, after a long time, they will become dependent on Wushisan, and there is no left of the will to be consumed, only Hou Ye, should you be?"

Chen Hengzhi looked at Yun Tianqing after speaking, only to see him say with his head held high: "Think I will take Wushi San?" How could I? General Chen, you're thinking too much! ”

"I hope so!"

Chen Hengzhi was silent, at night, the troops were stationed in place to rest, but Yun Tianqing hid far away from the troops on the pretext of personally inspecting military affairs, leaned in front of a dirt slope, took out a pack of five stone powder, and a straw, sucked the white powder obsessively, and then immersed himself in his own world......

He thought that no one would know, but he never expected that Shangguan Li and Hua Yueying had been following him, but Yun Tianqing's low skill and the fact that Wushisan made his realm regress, and he didn't even notice that people were following him, Shangguan Li sat on a stone and said, "Sister, don't we really want to break the matter of Wu'anhou being infected with Wushisan?" ”

Hua Yueying said: "We are just a knife that the Lord has temporarily deposited in his hand, the knife has no obligation to interfere with the master's choice, as long as he wants to hide it for a day, then we don't need to risk avoiding it to pierce it, just as you can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, the same goes for Wushisan, unless he makes up his mind to quit Wushisan, otherwise no one can help him!" ”

"Okay!"

The two of them stayed behind Yun Tianqing like this, but Yun Tianqing didn't know it from beginning to end, but was obsessively immersed in his hallucination, Twilight Rushuang was smiling at him, and he seemed to be in the clouds, there was no strife, no conspiracy, some were just expensive peace, but in a blink of an eye, the peace in front of him was broken, and then he returned to reality as if he had fallen into an infernal hell, everything around him seemed extremely dark, Yun Tianqing began to cry bitterly, and then reached out and groped for another bag of five stone powder, After slowly sucking it, the feeling of fluttering immortals returned to his brain, so he continued like this, endlessly, but his martial arts cultivation, which was about to break through to the ground level because of killing on the battlefield, was slowly reversing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the condensed cyclones in the dantian went from stable to rapidly spinning, and then slowly dissipated one by one......

——

Half a year later, the army was classified

Half of the young adults of the wolf clan died in the battle of Helan Mountain, and their retreat was cut off by the Rakshasa country, so they could only beg for peace with the cloud country, so in the beginning of the spring in March, the army was class, but Yun Xingyan went to Jinling with Twilight Rushuang to find Chu Xiangling's whereabouts after leaving the Rakshasa country, but unfortunately there was no gain, and the Shangguan family seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, even Shangguan Ziyu could not be contacted, and they had no choice but to return to the capital, and heard that the front line was victorious, and the army was about to be classified, Twilight Rushuang was in a bad mood, Yun Xingyan comforted her and said: "Some things have to be faced sooner or later, in fact, I am also afraid to see Tianqing, but even so, you and I always have to face it together, because we are husband and wife!" ”

"Husband, you don't have to accommodate me in everything, I'm not so fragile!"

The two of them paced on the streets of Luoyang, they did not return for half a year, there was no big change in the city, and when they walked to the six gates of the official office, Yun Xingyan was a little melancholy for some reason, there was once a woman here who boldly expressed her heart to herself, but now that the times have changed, she has also been transferred to Shanxi with a piece of paper, and I don't know how she is doing now?

In curiosity, Yun Xingyan ghost envoy sent a god into the six doors of the official office, and now the chief catcher is a man named Lei Leopard, seeing Yun Xingyan coming, he said respectfully: "I don't know that the prince and princess are coming, please redeem your humble duties and miss the distance, are you going to report the case?" ”
