Chapter 308: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

Looking back, under the sun, the woman's beautiful eyes were full of tears, but she still smiled expectantly.

Lu Heng's heart was sour, he looked at her fixedly, and did not answer her. Instead, he smiled slightly, turned around and strode towards the place agreed with the emperor.

There are some things that don't need to be promised, because a promise is a fart in the face of reality!

Of course, you don't have to worry about it. The only thing that works is to do it.

As Lu Heng walked, he thought of a well-known advertising slogan in later generations: justdoit.

Behind her, the moment the woman saw the scholar turn around, there seemed to be a flash of crystal light in her clear eyes, the woman's heart trembled, and her beautiful eyes appeared.

He, is it true?

Under the warm sun, the woman stood there quietly, her fingers clasped tightly on the placket, and her heart was surging.

Walk across the arched bridge and through a verdant bamboo forest, where the stream is murmuring and the sound is bursting. The gentle wind, with the fresh air in the forest, made the scholars who walked during the walk very clear.

Raise your head and look at the bamboo swaying in the wind above it. Wisps of sunlight penetrate through the bamboo forest. Sprinkled on the face, warm.

Lu Heng took a deep breath, and a very relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Scold...... It turns out that sometimes when it comes to making a decision, everything seems really simple!

Deep in the forest in front, there is a small pavilion, the pavilion is surrounded by golden silk, the wind blows, the silk dances with the wind, and it is extremely elegant.

In the pavilion, the sound of the guqin came faintly, accompanied by the sound of conversation, in this forest, it looked extremely elegant.

Walking along the winding path, walking into this pavilion, looking at the two old men sitting on the sandalwood chairs, seeing that they were talking about something, Lu Heng walked in and sat down. He picked up the teapot on the stone table and made himself a cup of tea. After taking a sip of the teacup, he looked at the two of them and said, "The two of you are so Yaxing!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the only remaining comfort in the pavilion was swept away. The atmosphere has also become a little abnormal.

The change in the atmosphere, Lu Heng could naturally feel it. Although it seems to be prosaic, the irony in it is extremely strong.

After all, the emperor's face in front of him has never been very good-looking. At this time, hearing the scholar's obvious teasing accent, his face became even more gloomy.

"Yongzheng!" On the side, Wu Ningyuan saw the imperial brother's expression, and his heart suddenly sudden, and he scolded Lu Hengdao in a deep voice.

The emperor's face was gloomy, he raised his head, looked at Lu Heng with a sneering smile, and raised his hand to stop Wu Ningyuan's words. His eyes narrowed, and his color flashed: "Let him say!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Heng glanced at the emperor indifferently, picked up the tea, took a sip, dusted off his robe casually, and sneered: "Heh, I have nothing to say!" ”

"Lu Heng, do you know who you're talking to?" When the emperor heard this, he stood up with a snort, attached himself in front of Lu Heng, and stared at this extremely bold scholar and said in a deep voice.

"I'm talking to a father, a father who sacrifices his daughter's happiness for his own sake. What, can't stand it? Lu Heng turned his head, his eyes were cold, such a momentum made the emperor dazed for a while.

"Enough, Yongzheng!" On the side, Wu Ning saw that the incident was about to get out of control, and under the worry in his heart, he hurriedly got up and scolded Lu Hengdao.

"Go back!" Wu Ningyuan's eyes flickered, and he secretly cast a color on Lu Heng and let him leave.

However, this obviously does not work. At this time, Lu Heng was raising his head, his eyes were full of indifference, and he was looking at the emperor fixedly. And the emperor, his face was full of hideousness, and his eyes flashed fiercely, staring at this scholar who was even better than him in momentum.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the air seemed to freeze. The whirring wind stirred the gauze around the pavilion and flew wildly.

The bamboo forest shook violently, the bamboo leaves rattled, and occasionally the bamboo leaves whistled with the wind, like a steel knife.

The emperor who was approaching in front of Lu Heng, after staring at this scholar for a long time, finally had a soothing look in his eyes. sat down in a daze, trembled his hands, took a sip of the tea on the table, and after a long breath, leaned back on the chair, and said weakly: "You have met Ankang!" ”

"Humph!" Lu Heng snorted coldly, obviously his anger had not subsided.

Such a reaction made Wu Ningyuan, who was on the side, sweat profusely again.

"The Tibetan envoy arrived in Tokyo yesterday!" The muscles on the emperor's face twitched, his fists clenched tightly, and he said with a sneer: "They, I want my daughter!" ”

"And then, and then you said yes?" Lu Heng glanced at him with disdain, and said with a smile: "What a good father!" ”

"So what do you say?" Being sneered at by Lu Heng, the emperor who was depressed in his heart became extremely angry in the blink of an eye. rushed over, grabbed Lu Heng's chest, and roared with a hideous expression: "The northeast is in turmoil, the northern Turks are eyeing each other, and even my son is plotting to usurp the throne. The imperial court could no longer divide its mind and deal with Tibet. Once the situation gets out of control, the whole country collapses. What do you want me to do? Yes? ”

The gray-haired emperor, the muscles of his face twitched, and the murderous intent in his eyes collapsed, staring at the scholar.

Seeing that he was not afraid at all, and looked straight at himself, the emperor pushed him to the ground after several struggles in his heart, turned his head, smiled coldly, looked at the violently shaking bamboo forest, took a deep breath, and said word by word: "I have no choice!" ”

"There's no choice, ha!" Lu Heng got up from the ground, rubbed his sore wrists, looked at the emperor with a gloomy face in front of him, laughed out loud, and said with disdain: "What a good excuse!" ”

Seeing the emperor's gloomy gaze, Lu Heng smiled coldly and continued: "In this case, don't you have the slightest responsibility? ”

Seeing that the emperor suddenly turned his head, he looked at himself coldly. Lu Heng stared at him gloomily, and said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, the head of the An family took many elders and ventured to Tokyo to test the limits of the imperial court. Why don't you kill them. When the king of Dongying came to the Great Zhou to try to worship, why didn't you detain them! ...... at the beginning"

Lu Heng stated the events of the year word by word, staring at the emperor's face full of sarcasm.

"Enough!" On the side, Wu Ningyuan suddenly stood up, looked at Lu Heng, and said in a deep voice: "Yongzheng, how can the affairs between countries be so hasty, if it is as you said, the imperial court will kill those who have evil intentions in one fell swoop." So where is my prestige? ”

"Lord Wang!" Lu Heng turned his head, looked at Wu Ningyuan, and asked with a smile: "What about now, does Da Zhou have prestige?" ”

"This!" Wu Ningyuan was speechless, not knowing what to say.

"Isn't it for a face?" Lu Heng smiled disdainfully, stared at the emperor and said.

"It's just for a face, and it's also the face of the country!" Wu Ning Yuanqiang refuted himself, but he had no confidence in his heart, and in the end, his voice became lower and lower.

As a soldier, he knows what the face of the country is, that is the military power. Only strong force can guarantee the dignity of the state.

At this time, what is the face of the country is purely blurted out. When I say it, I feel ashamed even to myself.

Hearing this, Lu Heng looked at Wu Ningyuan in disappointment, and saw the old man bowing his head and admitting his mistake. Lu Heng didn't mean to say anything, just shook his head, sat down, sighed and said: "The dignity of the country is not reflected by the pretense and generosity of the imperial court!" It's not achieved by a woman's breasts! ”

After saying that, seeing the emperor's eyelids tremble, his face became a little gloomy. Lu Heng accentuated his tone, swept his eyes coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Only a strong national strength and the support of the people are the foundation of the dignity of the country!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the emperor was shocked, turned his head, and looked at the scholar in shock.

Lu Heng didn't want to look at him, so he withdrew his gaze, held the teacup, sighed leisurely, and said sadly: "Only in this way can I ensure that my people of Dazhou live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is prosperous!" ”

On the side, Wu Ningyuan heard the words and looked at this scholar with such a decadent look. Feeling something in his heart, he nodded heavily.

Picking up the teapot, he poured himself and Wu Ningyuan a cup. I wanted to put it down, but when I saw the emperor standing there, his eyes were still cold, but there was a lot less murder in his eyes. Lu Heng looked at the old man's silver hair, describing his withered appearance, and remembered that this old man was actually not easy to hear. I couldn't bear it, sighed slightly, picked up the teacup again, and poured a cup for the emperor.

It didn't matter if he drank it or not, he just pushed the teacup in front of him.

Sensing Lu Heng's move to ease the atmosphere, Wu Ningyuan hurriedly stood up, pulled the angry emperor to sit down, and greeted him warmly.

"Hey, actually, this Tubo incident is also because of the Goryeo incident!" Lu Heng picked up the tea, thought about it, and said with a wry smile.

As soon as these words came out, whether it was the emperor or Wu Ningyuan, their faces changed, and they turned their heads and stared at Lu Heng with shining eyes.

The emperor's eyes flickered, he looked at the scholar who had just aroused his anger, looked down and thought about it, and suddenly his face turned pale, obviously thinking of something.

On the side, Wu Ningyuan frowned, thinking for a moment, still puzzled. Picked up the teapot and filled it with Lu Heng, and asked, "Yongzheng, can you say it clearly?" ”

Lu Heng nodded, picked up the tea, his eyes narrowed, and his eyes flickered: "I heard that the Tibetan envoy, when he first arrived in Tokyo, he didn't mean to make peace, did he?" ”

"Yes, they didn't say it!" The emperor was pondering, and only Wu Ningyuan answered in person.

Lu Heng nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said lightly: "Then they suddenly mentioned the matter of harmony yesterday, obviously they heard something!" ”

Lu Heng turned his head, looked at the two of them with blazing eyes, and said word by word: "Moreover, it's still a bad rumor!" ”

Seeing Wu Ningyuan's sudden shock, Lu Heng also knew that he had thought of it in his heart, and after sneering, he said lightly: "I can't think of anything else except for the matter of Goryeo!" ”

"Goryeo, Goryeo!" On the side, the emperor sat there, his eyes gloomy, sneering and muttering to himself.

"It's Goryeo!" Lu Heng nodded, and said to himself: "The king of Goryeo rebelled and teamed up with Dongying to attack the northeast of Great Zhou. Coupled with the tiger eyeing of the northern Huns, it seems that my Great Zhou is obviously a situation where the building is about to collapse. I estimate that the Tibetan envoy only dared to come up with this idea after hearing this news, firstly, to test the reality of my Great Zhou. Second, it is naturally also to show the position of Tibet! ”

Having said that, the truth of everything is revealed.

All intentions point to Goryeo.

Hearing this truth, Wu Ningyuan thought about it and nodded thoughtfully.

"Then you say, what now?" The emperor, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, turned his head, looked at Lu Heng, and said in a deep voice.

The old man, who was not angry, seemed calm at this time. This is the real city of an emperor!

"Since all the focus of the matter is on Goryeo!" Lu Heng took a sip of the teacup, and after thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "Then, the current plan, only by defeating Goryeo, can we effectively deter all parties!" Moreover, this battle must be fought beautifully and neatly! in order to maximize the effect! ”

"However, regardless of the fact that the alliance between Goryeo and Dongying is gaining momentum now, the deployment of our Great Zhou army has not been completed. Let's just talk about time, what about time? The Emperor asked in a deep voice.

"Time is squeezed out!" Lu Heng smiled, and as he spoke, he took out the battle plan against Goryeo that had been integrated in the past three days from his arms.

"Well, the general outline of the battle plan we discussed is basically like this." Lu Heng pointed to the battle plan and said lightly.

Hearing this, the emperor and Wu Ningyuan looked shocked, and the two hurriedly huddled together and opened the battle plan.

Opening the first page, the emperor's eyes were full of disbelief, and he looked at the line of big words on the battle plan, and exclaimed: "What? Sea-crossing landing operations? ”

Yes, Lu Heng's operational policy is to cross the sea and land operations. The army borrowed the northwest monsoon. From Yantai, Shandong, across the Yellow Sea, to Goryeo. Landed in the Incheon area. Insert yourself in the back of your enemies! And with the Kang Honglei Department of the Northeast Defense Line, the Goryeo Dongying Coalition Army entered the north and south!

Such a battle plan was made by Lu Heng with reference to the Far Eastern War in later generations. At the beginning, although MacArthur's American troops finally stopped at that parallel, they did not achieve the expected victory. However, the battle in which the coalition forces landed at Inchon now seems to be a stroke of genius!

In the past three days, Lu Heng asked the emperor's think tank, and carefully discussed with Wu Ningyuan and other generals. The conclusion was that the Great Zhou army was fully capable of conducting cross-sea operations.

Moreover, the shipbuilding technology of the Great Zhou is also enough to support the army and achieve cross-sea operations!

"Eighth brother, look!" The emperor's eyes were full of brilliance, and he looked at Lu Heng's gaze, as if he was looking at a superb demon, and his heart was shocked.

However, after all, he had not led troops for many years. At this time, seeing this extremely bold battle plan, although I was shocked, I would not make a hasty decision, and the only way was to ask Wu Ningyuan's opinion.

"This battle plan! Thinking is extremely bold, and besides, the ghosts are unpredictable. Once it works, the entire Northeast war situation will be completely reversed! Wu Ningyuan took a deep breath, raised his head, looked at the scholar in front of him, he laughed, and said excitedly: "Old man, I didn't see the wrong person!" ”

Although Wu Ningyuan participated in the formulation of the operational policy, in fact, he also provided some data on the surnames and combat effectiveness of the army in Shandong, and he also knew nothing about the real combat plan. It's just that listening to this scholar has been urging, building ships and building big ships.

Although he didn't know what this scholar was going to do, Wu Ningyuan still chose to believe it.

After obtaining the emperor's approval, the order to build a ship was rushed to the Shandong defense army for 800 miles that night.

Now, after seeing the plan of crossing the sea, Wu Ningyuan suddenly realized that this scholar had been urging shipbuilding, and it was such an idea.

"So...... Feasible? The emperor's excited expression was no less than Wu Ningyuan. Seeing Wu Ningyuan nodding, the old man was immediately excited, grabbed this thick battle plan, and asked excitedly.

"Feasible, absolutely feasible!" Wu Ningyuan nodded and said excitedly: "Most of the troops in Shandong grew up by the water. With the surname Tongshui, there is no problem in crossing the sea to fight. Moreover, with the addition of Duan Peng's Jiangsu Coastal Defense Army, the combat effectiveness of the combined Great Zhou Army will obviously increase. Coupled with the scale of the Shandong Naval Division, this time, the sea-crossing battle plan is completely feasible! ”

The two excitedly discussed the feasible surnames of the plan. I was excited for a while.

However, after discussing the question of time, the two frowned again.

"Even if the sea-crossing and landing operation is successful, if the two sides fall into a stalemate, once the time is extended, I am afraid that things will change!" The enthusiasm in the emperor's heart has decreased a lot, and after sitting down, he asked worriedly.

"Time is not an issue!" After thinking about it, Lu Heng spoke.

Oh?

The emperor's cool heart was ignited again, turned his head, and looked at Lu Heng with a calm face, waiting for his next step.

Lu Heng turned his head and looked at Wu Ningyuan, who was also not worried, then pointed at him, and smiled at the emperor and said, "Ask him!" ”

In the stunned gaze of the emperor, Wu Ningyuan smiled, leaned into the emperor's ear, and said something about thunderbolts, trebuchets, gliders, and thunderbolts.

There were also powerful words like thunder, and the emperor who listened to them was happy and excited.

"Brother Huang knows!" After speaking, Wu Ningyuan boasted triumphantly.

Those things were all made by Lu Heng and asked the Ministry of Industry to step up manufacturing. In fact, Lu Heng is among them, except for the initial drawings, the rest are just a hands-off shopkeeper. The journey of all these weapons from paper to physical objects, Wu Ningyuan has a lot of credit. Therefore, Wu Ningyuan has enough merit at this time, enough to be proud of himself.

After speaking, Wu Ningyuan stroked his beard and smiled, waiting for the emperor's praise.

It's just that...... Something seems to be wrong.

When the emperor heard this, he was excited. However, why is this old man's face so gloomy?

After seeing this situation, Lu Heng wisely chose to keep his mouth shut. Sit aside and watch the excitement.

"Eighth brother, it's fun to deceive me, isn't it?" The emperor looked at Wu Ningyuan, whose face suddenly froze, and a sinister smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

Wu Ningyuan's face froze, and a look of smugness on his face stagnated. swallowed his saliva and turned his head in shock to look at Lu Heng, who was the conspirator.

But I saw this kid, who was drinking tea leisurely at this time, and sometimes looked at himself with disdain. It's like a front with the royal brother!

Belch......
