XLIX. 3
Carefully analyzed, Bailishi's death had disadvantages for Fang Li, but on the whole, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
If Fang Li will stand on his own, the first thing to annex must be the Yu State, and with the loyalty to the Yu State in a hundred miles, he will definitely regard Fang Li as the number one enemy, fight to the death, and hinder the rise of Fang Li's forces.
And now with the death of Bailishi, Teng Xun, Lin Yue and others one after another, Fang Li has become the number one general of Yu State, and the annexation of Yu State in the future is already a matter of course, and there is no need to worry about Yu State's resistance.
Second, after Bailishi's death, the 5,000 soldiers under his command defected to the building, and once again expanded the strength of Fang Li's mastery, reaching 15,000 people, making Fang Li's deployment of troops more comfortable.
And the disadvantage is that Fang Li has one less battle-hardened colleague by his side, which makes the already vulnerable Yu State even weaker.
But Gongzi Ji Zhai was indifferent to Bailishi's death, and what he was thinking about was how to inherit the position of the prince of the country as soon as possible and become the monarch of Yu State. At the moment, he quietly motioned to Yuyu and asked him to stand up and speak for himself.
Although Yu Yu has a respected status in King Yu's palace, he is only a slave after all, so he can only stand in front of Ji Zhai.
After seeing Ji Zhai's eyes, he immediately took a step forward, and said with a dusty salute in his hand: "Son, General Fang, please forgive the old slave for talking too much, the lord was captured, the whole country was shocked, and all the people were sad." But the country can't be without a king for a day, in order to avoid the Jin State from blackmailing the lord to blackmail our Yu State, please ask General Fang to support Zhai Gongzi as the king. ”
"This ......"
Fang Li's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and he quietly weighed the pros and cons of supporting Ji Zhai as the monarch in his heart.
It is far from the time to stand on his own, Fang Li must also use the name of the Yu State Office to recruit the people and soldiers of the Yu Kingdom, and it seems that it is a good choice to support Ji Zhai as the king.
The disadvantage is that there is an incompetent and lustful lord on the top of his head, and everything needs to be reported to him, I wonder if he will be constrained in the future and make trouble for himself to become a king?
"Whatever, first put Ji Zhai on the throne of the prince of the country for a few days, and use his name to recruit the people of Yu State and the scattered soldiers. In the future, if you don't listen to the manipulation, find an opportunity to get rid of it! ”
With his mind racing, Fang Centrifugal quickly had an idea, got up and saluted: "Childe, what the eunuch decree said is reasonable, the country cannot be without a king for a day, in the case of Duke Yu and the crown prince being captured, Gongzi is indeed the most qualified to succeed the Duke of Yuguo." ”
"Haha...... Great, if General Fang supports me as the Duke of Yu Guo, I will make you ...... General! Ji Zhai was in a good mood, and took the wine in front of him and drank it all.
Fang Li stretched out his hand to signal Ji Zhai not to worry, and listened to his words first: "But the minister must make an agreement with you before supporting the prince as the king, if the prince agrees, he will be the king, and if he does not agree, he will give up!" ”
"I agree, agree!" Ji Zhai agreed repeatedly, "As long as General Fang supports me as the king, any conditions will depend on you." ”
Fang Lixian said the first article: "First, if the lord returns to the country in the future, the prince must unconditionally give up the position of the prince of state. ”
Although Ji Zhai was reluctant in his heart, he also knew that he couldn't say it if he didn't agree, which would make him appear disloyal and unfilial, and he had no king and no father, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Of course, of course!" ”
It doesn't make a difference to Fang Li who will be the prince of Yu in the future, because it won't be long before Yu Guo ceases to exist. The reason why Fang Li put Ji Xian's return to the position of the prince of the country after his return was nothing more than to make superficial statements and establish his image as a loyal minister.
Everyone is optimistic, our departure is not because of greed for wealth and wealth and support Ji Zhai as the king, but forced by the situation for the sake of Yu Guo, our leave is broken for Yu Guo, my loyalty can be seen from the sun and the moon!
"Second, I expect that Childe does not know the art of war, so I must be fully responsible for military affairs, and Childe is not allowed to interfere." Fang Li said it lightly, but he knew in his heart that this was very important to him.
Ji Zhai nodded without hesitation: "I don't know anything about military affairs, it's rare that General Fang is willing to share the worries of the widow, and the widow will make you a general...... No, no, the widow named you the general, all the military affairs of the Yu country are entrusted to the general, and the widow will never interfere! ”
Seeing that Ji Zhai was so impatient to call himself a "widow", Fang Zhai secretly scolded for not being productive, and continued to put forward the third article: "The son has not been involved in government affairs before, and he doesn't know how to govern the country if he wants to, so the appointment and dismissal of the prince can't interfere." ”
"This ......"
Ji Zhai is not a fool, his face is a little ugly, you don't let me care about this, you don't let me take care of that, what are you doing with me? Do you want to give Fang Li an ornament?
You Hui coughed and said sharply: "General Fang, if you don't let Gongzi interfere in the military, the old slave can understand." But you don't let Childe interfere in personnel appointments and dismissals, this can't be justified, right? ”
Fang Li turned the wine in his hand, smiled slightly, and defended: "I mean that the son in the early stage can't interfere, and when the son sharpens himself and learns the way to govern the country in the future, I will return the power." ”
"Okay, then according to General Fang's wishes!"
Ji Zhai gritted his teeth and agreed, scolding in his heart that it seems that this Fang Li is not a thing, it is simply a robbery while the fire is burning!
On his terms, what is the difference between this and him being a monarch? I will first beg to rely on him, and when the widow is full of wings in the future, it will not be too late to eradicate him when the power is in his hands!
Fang Li and Ji Zhai were afraid of long nights and dreams, and after the lunch feast, Fang Li ordered people to make simple preparations, preparing to support the son Ji Zhai as the Duke of Yu Guo in the Chiyang Pass Council, and repair the book to Luoyang to report to King Zhou Xiang.
The early winter afternoon sun shines into the chamber, revealing the smell of a lazy party.
Gongzi Ji Zhai changed into a brand new clothes, and accepted the worship of more than a dozen generals such as Fang Li on the main hall, his face almost smiled, and even his walking was a little unsteady, as if he was in a dream.
"The lord is above, please wait for the ministers!"
Fang Li led more than a dozen generals such as Yan Liang, Liyi, and Zhu Rong to pay homage to Ji Zhai and chanted in unison.
Ji Zhai laughed loudly and waved his hand: "The Qing family is exempt, all the current military and political affairs of my Yu country are all decided by the general Fang Li, and you must obey the order, otherwise the national law will deal with it." ”
Fang Li was very satisfied with Ji Zhai's statement, and immediately conveyed the order to promote Zhou Yu and Zhang Liao to lieutenant generals, Liyi, Yan Liang, and Zhu Rong to be generals, Gongsun Yan to be doctors, and other official positions to be appointed and dismissed in the future.
The news that Ji Zhai took over as the monarch of Yu State soon spread, and many people of Yu State and the remnants of the defeated soldiers and the ministers and doctors crossed the mountains and mountains to Chiyang to join the new monarch.
In just a few days, tens of thousands of people and thousands of soldiers came to vote, and the most exciting thing for Fang Li was the arrival of the Doctor Gong Zhiqi, so that Fang Li finally had a civilian official available in his hands.
Gong Zhiqi escaped from Pinglu by luck, trekked through mountains and rivers to Chiyang to find the new monarch, and cried silently after seeing Fang Li.
Fang Li appeased Gong Zhiqi, then took him to meet the new Duke of Yu Guo Ji Zhai, and gave instructions to the system while Gong Zhiqi was giving gifts: "Give me an inquiry about Gong Zhiqi's four-dimensional ability." ”
The system responded with the answer: "Gong Zhiqi - Domination 48, Wu Yong 43, Strategy 80, Internal Affairs 86."
"The talent of the county guard!"
Fang Li quietly commented on Gong Zhiqi in his heart, although his internal affairs ability was not outstanding, but at least he could make Fang Li have someone available to help Fang Li solve the mess of internal affairs.
Chiyang is a front-line checkpoint, which will be attacked by the Jin army at any time, and Gong Zhiqi proposed to temporarily set the national capital in Wenxi County to calm the hearts of the army and the people.
Wenxi County is the largest county seat between Chiyangguan and Louzhaiguan, with more than 10,000 residents, and is about 30 miles away from Hedong Town, which seems to be the best choice in the case of hopeless construction of Hedong. Fang Li immediately agreed to Gong Zhiqi's proposal and decided to send someone to "escort" Ji Zhai to Wenxi County.
"But who should be sent to escort Ji Zhai to Wenxi County?" Fang Li thought hard and had a headache.
His subordinates are now Zhou Yu, Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Liyi, and Zhu Rong, and they have to be stationed separately at the two checkpoints of Chiyang and Louzhai, who should be sent to Wenxi County to monitor Ji Zhai?
"Qiang ...... The system prompts that the lord achieves the merit of supporting the monarch and receives a system reward of 100 merit points; The lord captures the princess of Jin and obtains 20 merit points in the system. The lord has 5 merit points left before, and now has 125 merit points, which can already be summoned! ”
