Inside the Imperial Study of the Imperial Palace. Fang Zheng pulled the fat man's dragon robe with wide sleeves. I cried so much that I wiped two handfuls of the fat man's wide sleeves on my face while crying, and soon, the fat man's sleeves were covered with snot and tears, and it was dirty, which was unbearable.

The fat man looked at the sleeves of his dragon robe, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times in distress, and sighed: "Brother Fang, you" Your feelings are too rich, can I find you a handkerchief to wipe it? "My dragon robe is very expensive, and now the treasury is not rich, and I will have no clothes to wear if you cry again"

Fang Zheng cried, "Fatty, woo, you can't let me die!" I am old, and I have so many wives in the middle, if I die, what will they do?"

The fat man said helplessly: "Brother Fang, this is not for you to die, unlike before, this time you are the commander of the three armies." Just sit firmly in the rear and dispatch the army, don't go into battle to kill the enemy yourself, you won't be in danger"

"Woo woo" Although what you said was very sincere, I still felt that you were fooling me, "Fight! Hundreds of thousands of people, who dares to guarantee that Mo Si that bastard will not treat Gu Lu like a bone. Give me a pre-chop action too? ”

The fat man sighed: "I'll send more forbidden palace masters to you and leave, you yourself should be more vigilant, don't transfer all the soldiers of the Chinese army, so that nothing goes wrong,"

Fang Zheng's crying stopped, and he raised his face full of snot and tears and asked carefully, "If you find that the situation is not good." Can I run away with my army? ”

The fat man smiled bitterly: "If you run away, of course no one will stop you." But if you run away, you will be surrounded by thousands of innocent civilians in our Hua Dynasty, as well as my capital, as well as your family, wife and children, who will be slaughtered by the Turks unarmed, will you run? ”

I can't live this day!

The corners of Fang Zheng's mouth froze, and he was about to cry again.

The fat man raised his head and sighed heavily, and said, "Brother Fang, you also saw today's court meeting, our dynasty does not lack generals of one army, but what is lacking is the commander of the three armies!" Even Feng Qiudao didn't dare to take on this heavy responsibility, except for you. I really can't find a more suitable commander,"

Fang Zheng snorted: "Fatty, don't forget, I am a civil official, not a military general, in the past, Ping Pan Wenyuan, Prince Ping Taiwang, they were all chasing ducks to the shelves, and the situation forced me to take charge of the army, but you and I both know that I am not the material for war at all!" The Manchu Dynasty civil and military elected me to lead the troops because they didn't like me and wanted to keep me far away, and they had the merit of promoting me if they won the battle, and if they lost, they just forced you to punish me, you have been the emperor for so long. Could it be that you haven't figured out what those ministers mean? ”

The fat man shook his head and said: "Don't think of people so badly, in fact, many people in the court still have a good impression of you, Lord Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the officials of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, as well as Du Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, they actually value you very much, yesterday all the ministers unanimously recommended you, not everyone wants to harm you, really young Lord Wei They are indeed thinking about the court." ”

Fang Zheng glared at the fat man and said, "They recommended me because they were dizzy, what about you?" Are you as dizzy as they are? Don't you know me yet? Wouldn't the 100,000-strong army being commanded by me, a man who had never fought a major battle, made them step into the ghost gate? ”

The fat man smiled innocently: "Brother Fang, you are sometimes very narcissistic, boasting that you are like a god. Sometimes it's too presumptuous, in fact. You Ping Pan Wenyuan, Prince Ping, King Pingtai. Going further, before you became an official, you offered the imperial court the strategy of retreating from the Turks, and everyone saw these merits, in the hearts of me and the ministers, you are more martial than Wen Tao, haven't you discovered it yourself? ”

There was a pause. The fat man continued: "The commander of the three armies. He doesn't need to have much brave force, nor does he need to go into battle to kill the enemy himself, he just needs to have a clear mind and give orders in the tent. Make full use of the right time, place and people, issue every general order that can defeat the enemy, and exchange the smallest price for the greatest victory, Brother Fang, you have always been smart, everything that the emperor and I entrusted you to do was done properly, this Northern Expedition to the Turks is about social and national fraud, I can only leave this matter to you. ”

Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "No, fat man, I can't afford such a big responsibility," Okay, in fact, fear of death also accounts for part of the reason, in short, I don't dare to accept this monarch's order, you better take back your life and find a more suitable person to serve as the commander." ”

The fat man looked gloomy and said, "Who else is more suitable than you?" Brother Fang, at today's court meeting, the generals are standing in the court. Who have you seen who would dare to stand up and lead this commandership? ”

Fang Zheng wanted to cry again: "I didn't stand up either!" Why are you staring at me? Who did I recruit and who did I mess with? ”

The fat man sighed: "At the moment of foreign enemies, there is no one in the court who can take on heavy responsibilities, and I am too sad to be the emperor!" Brother Fang, in fact, I have made you the commander, in addition to thinking that you really have the ability to defeat the Turks, I also have a thought,"

Looking at Fang Zheng's stunned expression, the fat man said in a deep voice: "In the past few years, internal and external troubles have continued, not to mention external troubles, this is what we are about to solve, just talking about internal worries, in the past two years, Pan Wenyuan has reversed." The former prince is reversed, the king of Thailand is reversed, although they have been pacified, but some potential worries still exist, after these rebellions, the prestige of my royal family has fallen again and again, and the subjects of the world must be thinking, so many people betrayed the emperor. Is this emperor really not worthy of everyone's support? "After his father put down the rebellion, he used all the iron-blooded means to conquer the world, punish the rebel party, and even bring disaster to many innocents, in order to try to use this bloody massacre to restore a little royal prestige. Let the people of the world know that the royal family cannot be betrayed or violated. My father was not a murderer. But for the sake of royal dignity, he had to do it. ”

"Now it's my turn to be the emperor, I'm not a murderer, I've always wanted to use benevolent government to win and return to the hearts of the people in the court, and now my foundation in the court has gradually stabilized. After the Turks are pacified, I will change the law step by step, so that the towering tree of my Hua Dynasty will slowly rejuvenate itself, but all of this must have a premise, that is, to pacify the Turks, so that they will not dare to commit crimes again, so that our people can have a good life, and I can let go and show my ambitions

The more the fat man spoke, the more excited he became, and his fat face showed a clear light: "My father repeatedly told me to be an emperor before he died, and I promised him that I would definitely make the decrees of the Chinese Dynasty smooth in my lifetime, and the people would not have to worry about food and clothing.

Fang Zheng was silent, the fat man gradually matured, he finally knew what he wanted to do, what to do, he had the world in his chest, he was trying to realize his ambitions, and when he thought about it, what about himself? What are your ambitions?

Rice raises hundreds of people, Fang Zhenghuai is stubborn, thinking that his ambition is to dump the worrying young master. There is no way around it, character determines fate.

"What you said is indeed great, fatty, I have to admit that you have matured a lot" Fang Zheng sighed sincerely, and then changed his words, and said in confusion: "But" What does this have to do with asking me to lead troops to fight against the Turks? ”

The fat man smiled: "Haven't you seen it yet?" The war with the Turks is a battle related to the life and death of two countries, and the survival of the two countries, what is the result, don't talk about him, Brother Fang, think about it, if I change someone who doesn't know the root to lead the troops, win or lose, what if he is the same as Pan Wenyuan and the King of Thailand? What are we going to do? This time it is a battle with the soldiers of the whole country, if the soldiers come back to Ge to strike, how can we survive? The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all said that they were loyal to the monarch and served the country, but who knows if there is anyone among them who harbors evil intentions? Pan Wenyuan, the former prince and the king of Thailand, they almost succeeded. Do you know if anyone will dare to take the risk? ”

The fat man looked at Fang Zheng deeply. Said: "Brother Fang, only by letting you lead the troops, can I be completely at ease, you and I met in the academy, we are real friends in the cloth and tribulation, let's fight together, Yin people together, go to the kiln together, do a lot of good and bad things, even my current throne, you helped to raise it, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military." I believe in you alone. Now that my friend is in danger, Brother Fang, help me again! ”

When Fang Zheng heard this, the blood in his chest suddenly boiled.

He understood that this did not lead to his decree. The current fat man is a helpless person who needs the help of his friends, who else in the world can help him except himself?

What about war? It's not like I haven't seen the bloody battlefield, so what about seeing each other again for the sake of this friend? Always pretends to be a young master's wishful thinking, if he doesn't even help his friends, wouldn't he live too selfishly? Is it interesting to do such a sad young master?

Die and die! Lao Tzu should not have appeared in this generation, he has lived for a few years, and he has become such a big official, he has a wife, a son, and Lao Tzu has earned enough!

"Okay, I'll help you". Fang Zheng looked at the fat man and nodded heavily.

The fat man's eyes suddenly moistened, and looking at Fang Zheng's face that was gradually becoming resolute, he suddenly grinned with tears in his laughter.

Fang Zheng also smiled.

Friends, it's that simple, you don't have to say a word of thanks, you understand each other.

"Hey, fatty, help to help. The treasury owes me the three million taels of silver, don't worry about it, you have to pay it back! Brothers, settle accounts. ”

The fat man's fat face turned black with a roar:

I'm still very worried, why don't you give me an IOU now, so that I can go on the Northern Expedition with peace of mind,"

No! The fat man peeked a word out of his teeth.

，

Xiao Lu was held in Fang Zheng's arms, gasping slightly, the upheaval just now seemed to send her to heaven, and after the leakage, she still couldn't calm down for a long time.

On the other side of Fang Zheng, Feng Niang's jade arm as white as white jade stretched out and gently rested on Fang Zheng's shoulder, her blurry eyes wrapped around him like thousands of soft threads.

"Husband, why are you so greedy these two days? If you want us again and again, we can't stand it" Feng Niang's voice seemed to still have a bit of **, soft and soft, so that Fang Zheng's lower body, which had just come down honestly, stood up involuntarily.

Xiao Lu lay on Fang Zheng's body, and immediately felt the changes in Fang Zheng's body, trembling with fright. Hurriedly gasping and hiding away, his naked back as smooth as jade was facing Fang Zheng, and he called softly: "No" I don't want it, young master, you "You look for Feng Niang, I can't do it"

Feng Niang's face also changed color, and she said hurriedly: I can't do it either, husband, you" You're too harmful

Fang Zheng looked at the angry little Fang Zheng helplessly, and said, "Forget it, this kind of thing must be controlled, let's do it again, okay?" ”

Both women changed color and shook their heads hurriedly.

Feng Niang reflexed, ** the two naked soft balls pressed on Fang Zheng's chest, and laughed softly: "Husband, you have to be temperate, my sister said." "Hehe, don't let you be greedy too much, if your body is broken, my sister can't spare us,"

Fang Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, let's talk."

Feng Niang gasped slightly. He said softly: "Husband, why are you a little distracted in the past two days?" What happened to you? ”

Fang Zheng sighed and said, "Wives." In two days, I will go north to the steppe and fight against the Turks

When the second daughter heard this, she trembled a few times. swept away Fang Cai's charming and charming color, and his face turned pale with anxiety, and he exclaimed: "You want to go to war? Why is that? ”

Fang Zheng said awe-inspiringly: "A man is loyal to the monarch and serves the country, this is his obligation, how can I not go?" ”

The second daughter's beautiful eyes suddenly welled up with crystal tears, Feng Niang looked at Fang Zheng, and sobbed: "It's easy for you to serve the country, but" Men go into battle to kill the enemy, but for us women, it is a big disaster

Xiao Lu hugged Fang Zheng with his backhand, hid in his broad arms, and cried like a tearful man; Just keep shaking your head.

Fang Zheng snorted and said sadly, "Do you think I'm willing to go?" Am I forced to do nothing? The ministers recommended me to go, but the emperor only believed me, who the hell did I provoke? ”

Feng Niang hurriedly raised her head and said, "Then let's go and tell my sister and ask her to enter the palace to persuade the emperor to take back his fate,"

Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "No need." Hong'er already knew that it was I who stopped her from entering the palace, and no one forced me to fight the war, I promised the emperor myself"

Seeing the two daughters crying sadly, Fang Zheng stretched out his hands and hugged them tightly, hugged them in his arms, and repeatedly assured them. He only gave orders in the rear, and he didn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, so the two goddesses were slightly relieved.

Deliberately looked at Xiao Lu, Fang Zheng thought about it, and hesitated: Xiao Lu, I went to the grassland this time, and there is another purpose, according to the report of the spies, your mother is now in the Chinese army tent of the Mosi Khan, I think, if this battle can be won, you should be able to save your mother smoothly. ”

Xiao Lu trembled, suddenly looked up at Fang Zheng, his expression changed several times, and after thinking for a while, Xiao Lu lowered his head, and his tone was full of determination: "Young Master" Xiao Lu wants to follow you and go north together.

"Huh? No way! Are you kidding! Never! Fang Zheng refused without hesitation: "The two armies are facing each other, the sword has no eyes, what should I do if I hurt you?" It's not going to work."

Xiao Lu didn't force it, only looked at Fang Zheng fixedly, from her firm gaze, Fang Zheng saw a bit of determination, knowing that he couldn't stop Xiao Lu from going north to the grassland, after all, her mother was still suffering in the tribe of Bo Yuan, knowing her mother's whereabouts, Xiao Lu would definitely be sharp, and Regret couldn't stop her at all.

All right. Go, go, come with me! Fang Zheng waved his hand helplessly and said, "You always bully me, I'm too used to you to death!" ”

Xiao Lu smiled gratefully, buried her head in Fang Zheng's arms, and hugged his waist vigorously.

Fang Zheng's eyes rolled, and he smiled and said: "It's time to go on the expedition, I have to bully and bully you, and when I return to the dynasty with a big victory, you will definitely be pregnant with a big fat boy for me."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng turned over violently and pressed Feng Niang under him.

Candlelight flickering. Reflecting the spring light in the room. ”

In April of the first year of Xuanwu, on the school field in the suburbs of Beijing, flags were displayed, and tens of thousands of soldiers lined up in a neat line. Wearing bright armor and holding sharp swords and spears, he stood quietly on the school ground, with more than 10,000 pairs of eyes staring at Fang Zheng wearing silver armor on the platform.

These more than 10,000 people are the elite selected from the four major armies that defend the capital, and they will go north with Fang Zheng, and then meet with the 100,000 troops who are training intensively in Youzhou, and send troops to fight against Mo Si together.

There was silence on the school ground, and ten thousand people stood there quietly, exuding a faint aura of solemnity in the silence. As time passed, the aura of slaughter slowly thickened. Tumbling and condensing over the school field, like a sharp blade. Wantonly scratching people's skin. It makes people involuntarily awe-inspiring.

On the battlefield, Fang Zheng, who was dressed in bright armor, looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him with a serious face, they were young and strong, and they were full of energy. Energetic, they exuded a fearless war spirit in the silence, as if they were not going to the front line to fight the Turks to the death, but were about to participate in a lavish feast.

Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times.

Fang Zheng repeated this poem in his heart, with mixed tastes.

How many of these soldiers who followed him on the expedition will be buried forever in the cold desert grassland, their bodies turned into dirt and dissolved into the earth? Do they know how cruel and ruthless war really is?

The big drum on the left side of the school field is beating, and the auspicious time has arrived, and it is time to go on the expedition.

"Your Excellency. Do you want to say a few words to the soldiers and cheer them up? Vinson on the side whispered.

Fang Zheng nodded. Looking at the soldiers whose morale was like a rainbow, he suddenly had a sense of fear, fighting, what a dangerous thing, which of these 10,000 people was not raised by his father. If you can't get them alive from the battlefield. How can they be worthy of the old father and mother who are in the rear eagerly expecting their victory and return?

This moment. Fang Zheng suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, although he couldn't see or touch it, it made him feel breathless.

Cleared his throat. Fang Zheng sank into the dantian. Loud voice: "Soldier"

"Eagle!"

Ten thousand soldiers gathered their legs and chests together, staring at Fang Zheng with blazing eyes.

Coughing twice, Fang Zheng tried his best to make his voice reach every corner of the schoolyard, but his voice sounded a little trembling because of the fear in his heart.

Soldiers! The ancients said, although there were tens of millions of people, I fled

The generals standing on the side were stunned when they heard this, and Vincent was shocked. Hurriedly stopped: "My lord, it's wrong. Wrong! It's not an escape! It's not an escape! ”

Fang Zheng said: "Didn't you escape?" What is that? ”

Vincent was full of black lines, and said in a low voice: "Although there are tens of millions of people, I can't escape." ”

Fang Zheng suddenly said: "Ah! Yes, there is no escape

Then Fang Zheng glared at Wen Sen fiercely, as if he was very unhappy that he interrupted his speech.

"Soldiers. I was wrong just now, it's not to escape, it's to "we're going!" The ancients are cloudy, but if the dragon city flies, we will flee very quickly."

"Your Excellency. Wrong! Wrong again! "The beads of sweat on Vinsen's face slowly dripped down, and he was extremely embarrassed in his heart, why did this Lord always think about running away, this battle was really suspenseful."

Fang Zheng's face darkened, and he glared at Wen Sen angrily and said, "Are you sick?" Whatever Lao Tzu says, you are against me. Can't you stop for such a serious occasion? If you don't, I'll watch from the sidelines. ”

Vinson was about to cry out aggrieved, who is not serious? Are you the one who is in charge?

"No" sir. Hehe, or do you say, you say, the subordinates don't intervene anymore"

"You're welcome. Come on, always correct my mistakes, your writing is definitely better than mine, you can tell you a few words. ”

"No" sir, I was wrong, I will never intervene again" You can let me go. ”

"No, I can't. Lao Tzu insisted that you say, hurry up, don't squat! ”

"Your Excellency. The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates are wrong

Under the gaze of 10,000 soldiers, the two were entangled on the Dianjiang platform for a long time, and finally Wensen finally couldn't bear the pressure of 10,000 people's eyes and ran off the Dianjiang platform in embarrassment.

Without Vinson's noise beside him, Fang Zheng suddenly felt much quieter, and he continued to start his impromptu speech with a wave of interest, but his hands dangled in the air for a long time, but he couldn't remember what he should say. I couldn't help but be annoyed.

"Soldiers" carving! ”

10,000 soldiers stood up again.

Fang Zheng waved his hand, held back for a long time and still had no words, and couldn't help shouting: "Let's go."

"Vinson! You! Lao Tzu will punish you for half a year! ””

In April of the first year of Xuanwu of the Chinese Dynasty, the emperor decreed that the loyal prince Zheng was appointed as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and led the army to the north to crusade against the Turks, and completely quelled the rebellion on the northern border that had been a disaster for a hundred years. Zhou Bang was amazed by the courage of the new emperor of the Chinese Dynasty, but the people of the whole country rejoiced and praised the emperor's wisdom.

Under the leadership of Fang Zheng, the mighty team left the capital and headed north, rushing to the front of the unknown fate.

I'm embarrassed to update every day so late.

By the way. Tomorrow, no, today is a day off in July, there are relatives at home, and there is no way to code words. In addition, I also adjusted my work and rest routine, and you are tired of waiting so late every day. I'm more tired of codewords,,

Of course, the main reason is that I want to be lazy for a day.

I won't send another leave note, the viewer knows it.
