Chapter 1780: The Battle of Shouchun (61)
Yuan Yao was a little excited, he had to know the truth, curiosity was troubled, and even Shouchun's safety made him unable to take care of these, he had to know the answer from Ji Ling's mouth, so that he could rest assured.
"I can't say it now, I have to wait for your father to send someone to Lujiang, otherwise my life will not be guaranteed!"
"Father is going to send someone to Lujiang? Okay, great, so that the troubles and problems that are now in place will be solved. Yuan Yao looked a little excited, didn't Ji Ling claim to be able to solve the danger of Shouchun, then after his father sent someone, the truth would be completely revealed to the world, and he was still full of doubts in his heart, and he was skeptical about what God used to break the enemy, at least he wouldn't believe Ji Ling before he knew the specific plan, but if his father sent someone, in Ji Ling's words, he would be able to save his life, so that he could tell if what he said to himself now was true or false.
Although he has reservations about Ji Ling, looking at his current reaction, he should be able to believe it, otherwise he would have been in chaos a long time ago, of course, he may also be trying to stabilize himself, so it is enough to believe him for five points.
"The prince thinks too simply, let me ask you, this time I came to commit Shouchun, but it doesn't mean that it is just Liu Lan's family, don't forget Cao Cao in Ping'a now, the situation on his side looks better, but it just looks like it, no matter how bad my Ji Ling is, I have retreated back with more than 10,000 people, Zhang Xun is not so easy, even worse than Qiao Rui's situation!"
"Zhang Xun's situation is guarding Ping'a, where it is said that there is no danger, Cao Cao has no way to take him, if there is anything there is only afraid that Shouchun will be in chaos, his account, that is the most elite army in Shouchun at the moment, if he is defeated, Shouchun will be completely defeated, he knows that the reason why the Son of Heaven insists now is because there is still this army that can make him make a comeback, but if this army is defeated, then Yuan Shu's hope will be completely gone, mourning is greater than heart death, there is hope, people will rush, they will persevere, But the heart is dead, and there is no hope at all.
Yuan Yao smiled bitterly, what he said was indeed good, what was the purpose of his father sending him away? Of course, he knew that it was to prepare for the worst. Once Shouchun is broken, at least they are safe.
If he left his father to do the worst plan, then his father stayed, but he made the best plan, in Ji Ling's words, that is, he still held on to the last glimmer of hope, if Zhang Xun was really defeated at this time, maybe the little hope left by his father would be gone, and it was hard to imagine what he would do after that, but it must be broken.
Ji Ling is now in Shouchun is not as good as before, mainly because his main force has been wiped out, has his status in Ji Ling's eyes changed?
It seems to be beautiful, but it has long been much worse than before, with tens of thousands of new pawns, does the Son of Heaven really think that he can stop Liu Lan? Impossible, then why did he send himself to take the initiative to attack, to send him to death? Anyway, he doesn't think so, the Son of Heaven has always trusted him, this time he hopes that he can turn the tide, but in Ji Ling's eyes, it is tantamount to sending him to death in vain, but he can only take orders, if it goes against the will of the Son of Heaven, how can he continue to sit in the position of the general? Even the head on the item is not guaranteed.
This time Yuan Shu seems to make Ji Ling's troops very crazy, but it is also the last fight, because he believes in Ji Ling, believes that he can turn the tide, but he not only lost but also fled to Lujiang, which is a big taboo, if a county orders a county to flee or even surrender to the enemy, he can deal with it calmly, but Ji Ling, this is almost equivalent to betraying his trust, so Yuan Shu must have an explanation, maybe his current anger comes from this, and disappointment also comes from this, the most trusted person actually became a deserter, Could he not have an explanation and a reasonable explanation?
So his current situation is very embarrassing, if his whereabouts are not leaked, this matter can be suppressed, now the Son of Heaven has to have an explanation, if he can't explain clearly, then he is not alone in bad luck, and Liu Xun will also be implicated, at least help him to deceive the Son of Heaven This crime will not be able to escape, so what will happen to this matter in the end, it is really difficult to say, either they will be disposed of together, or they will have to reverse, but now Ji Ling's bold idea has become the last straw, But he knew that there was not much hope, the possibility of the Son of Heaven believing him was too small, and the most crucial point was that his idea was too unreliable.
Ji Ling no longer has any hope, but it is impossible for him to rebel, so he can only resign himself to fate.
Now he obviously can't help himself, at the beginning he naturally had a plan to hide all the time, but who would have thought that Yuan Yao would also arrive in Lujiang, even if he didn't want to find trouble at that moment, trouble would take the initiative to find the door.
If Yuan Yao didn't bring his situation back to Shouchun, there might still be a glimmer of life, but now it's too late, unless he can defeat Liu Lan now, or before he is punished, God will exert his power and save his life, otherwise he will definitely die.
Ji Ling's helplessness made Yuan Yao feel guilty, he was completely convinced, and now he hates himself to death, why can't he bear it at that time and investigate the truth clearly? In the past, he always complained that some people liked to talk about it, but now it's okay, the hot head makes Shouchun's situation more and more dangerous, and it is really because of his recklessness that Shouchun is in dire straits.
"General Ji, don't worry, I will do my best to help you this time." Yuan Yao's confidence is insufficient, because he also knows that once his father decides, it is not something he can solve if he wants to, and it can even be said that after he said this, he was more helpless in his heart.
Yuan Yao's helplessness lies in the fact that it is difficult for him to change his father's decision, if he can influence his father's decision, then Shouchun may not be what he is now, watching Shouchun fall step by step to what he is today, few people may be able to empathize, after all, he watched his father come step by step on the wrong road, such helplessness will not be understood, so his guarantee to Ji Ling now is more of a helplessness, maybe a determination to put him to death, no matter how much it costs, he must keep Ji Ling.
This is the last chance, whether it is useful or not, he will try, even if it is useless in the end, but at least it can reassure him, after all, he has made an effort, even if it is the same as before, he has done his best.
Ji Ling and Yuan Yao both felt a trace of helplessness at this time, many things are difficult for them to change and control, and this point is somewhat different in the eyes of Yuan Yao and Ji Ling, the power is great, like a father, many things are not what he wants, especially in front of the family, although the power is big, he can't do what he wants, and he even needs to look at the eyes of others, he began to wonder why his father was so obsessed with that position.
In Ji Ling's eyes, his ambition was based on Yuan Shu, but because of Yuan Shu, he became helpless. Helpless and helpless, such a lord, it is his insight that has achieved himself, and it is also because he makes it difficult for him to do what he wants to do, although he has independent command but lacks key decision-making power, watching the faint tricks appear frequently, not only can he not make changes, but he also has to fight according to the wrong instructions, and the fiasco again and again makes Xuzhou go to the edge, and these are what he can't choose, and he is the most helpless.
His inability to do what he wants and Yuan Yao's inability to do what he wants are completely different, both are helpless, but they are helpless, because there is always only one choice in front of them, no other choice.
Everyone loves that position, but there is only one position after all, how many people end up with hatred for that position, if he chooses for himself, he is more willing to live well, which will be stronger than anything.
Yuan Yao because his father called the emperor is a thorough see-through of the right, he doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps, and Ji Ling is the same, since he became Yuan Shu's general, he has become a pawn to be fiddled with, and he can't help himself, this is the similarity between him and Yuan Yao, and at the same time the difference between him and Yuan Yao, because the truth is understood, but the simplest truth, the best choice is often the most difficult option, because you have no chance to choose at all, because the simplest choice is often the least simple, and the most difficult to choose.
Maybe what Yuan Yao said now is extremely easy, compared to power, he just wants to live well, but if he doesn't have the background of Yuan Shu and the Yuan family, how can he live well, even if he wants to be a hermit at that time, it will not be so easy.
And Ji Ling, to put it bluntly, is not to give up the right, but because the power is too small to control the government, this is his greatest ambition, the two results seem to conflict, but in fact it is the process of chasing the right, and this road is destined to be a difficult and dangerous road, so the result is easy to understand.
Both of them were silent at this moment, from the day Yuan Yao was born, Yuan Yao, the eldest son of the world's princess, was born with a golden spoon, and from that day on, he was unreachable, but if he was just a child of the clan, then he would not have this idea today.
The prestige of the Yuan family has almost reached its peak, and many people do want to go further, his father did it, but because he did it, he woke up to a truth, the height is unbearable, he used to be the head of the family, everyone thought that you were the head of the horse, it was very normal, but it was very different to sit in that position, as a Hanchen, who would like to accept it and be a courtier of the Yuan family again?
So Yuan Yao wants to be a small citizen of the market, at least the helplessness of the small people in the market is three meals a day, how can there be such troubles now, but the position of the ninth five-year plan is not so easy, if you can't be the son of heaven, you have to be a ghost, and now he and his father are just walking on thin ice, carefully going to be a ghost.
The result can't be changed, the people who want to be in this position are like carp crossing the river, but how many people have climbed to the position of the Ninety-Five, and in the end it is not a pile of white bones?
After the dullness, Ji Ling, who had adjusted his mentality, picked up the wine bottle and toasted Yuan Yao with a glass of wine, perhaps this was a thank you to Yuan Yao, whether he could keep himself or not, at least these words moved him, and Yuan Yao did not give in this time, but after exchanging a look with Ji Ling, he raised the wine bottle, and the two drank a full glass at the same time.
At this time, the two of them were really emotional, although they both knew it in their hearts. This time it was difficult, and there was even no hope at all, but this time Ji Ling and Yuan Yao were not at all on the last battle of Xuzhou, at that time Yuan Yao went to the front line was nothing more than accumulating military exploits, winning over generals, and subduing soldiers, Ji Ling was just accompanying the prince to study, could it be that he really expected him to defeat Liu Lan, or he was not trained to be a qualified general for a while, it was impossible, at that time Ji Ling was to cope with errands, and even pave a broad road for himself in the future.
And today is different, Ji Ling is really close to him, if there is still a chance to survive, he hopes to help him, if he can't decide his own fate, then he must choose a famous master, Yuan Shu is unlikely, but he found that Yuan Yao has this appearance, humility is the quality he admires the most, he believes that he can serve under such a lord's account, he will also be like Zhang Liao!
Of course, this is all relative, the current Yuan Yao is too tender, if he is given ten years, he believes that Yuan Yao will definitely not be worse than Liu Lan, but now, there are really few people in the world who can compare with him.
Look at these princes in the world, one is not exhausted, Yuan Shao has to go north to the four states, it is really a clever layout, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes, and his eyes were vicious, but the only one who could really make Ji Ling admire was Liu Lan, looking at his development route, he could break into the reputation of being fed by strong enemies, and lay a huge territory, every step he took, take a closer look, which time is not a series of national hand layouts, which is dazzling, and I can't say anything other than admiration.
At this point, he thinks that there is no one in this world to compare, and a good minister meets a famous master, but he can't find it. Zhang Liao's luck is better than him, but he can be regarded as seeing hope now, but the past ten years are too long, and I don't know if I can wait until that day.
Ji Ling is not the kind of person who admits death, he can't bet the future on things that are out of reach in the future, even if Yuan Yao has talent, but the cycle of his growth is too slow, he can't let himself be fished in this time period, he is not that kind of person, this is the biggest difference between him and Zhang Xun.
It's a pity in my heart, if he can be born a few years later, more than ten years later, if Yuan Yao can inherit his father's position, and he can be reused by him, then it will not be difficult for him to do something big.
If heroes need a God-given opportunity, then the same is true for generals like them, and the times make heroes. It's not heroes who make the moment.
It's not that hard. There are indeed some things that he can't control, just like this kind of thing, it's useless to be weird, otherwise why would Guan Yu meet a famous master?
Time also, life also!
