Chapter 996: The Great King Was Right
King Qi returned to his camp and briefly told Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng about the meeting with the five generals of Weifu.
Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng looked at each other and were speechless.
The two didn't know what to say. Why do you still have unrealistic illusions about the Holy Lord, knowing that the Holy Lord's reward is just a fat bait, and that the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade is just a trap to put you to death? You care about the love of father and son, but does the Lord love you? You obviously know that the internal contradictions in the Weifu are fierce, and it is impossible for the generals of the Weifu to obey the words of the Holy Lord, and the results of the Third Eastern Crusade cannot be as the Holy Lord wishes, and Yuwenshu has to compromise with several other generals in the matter of rejecting Anton's army in order to cater to the Holy Lord, and strive to reach an agreement on the strategy of the Eastern Crusade attack, and strive to cross the river to attack as quickly as possible, and strive to ensure that the Eastern Crusade can achieve the minimum goal, but at the critical moment, you inserted a shot sideways, went the other way, and insisted that the Anton army rush to Huaiyuan to rendezvous, insisted on satisfying the wishes of the Holy Lord, and this move not only undermined the established decisions of Yuwenshu and the Command, but also seriously intensified the internal contradictions of the Wei Mansion, and the result can be imagined, it will only make himself die faster and make himself farther and farther away from the position of the prince.
Seeing Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng's gloomy expressions, with a helpless expression of hatred that iron cannot become steel, the originally complacent King Qi seemed to have eaten a fly, both disgusting and depressed.
Why can't I get the support and appreciation of my right hand for what I want to do? Is it naΓ―ve, stupid, and incompetent, or do your cronies have other intentions? He is loyal to the country, loyal to the Holy Lord, and single-mindedly seeking the interests of Middle-earth, why is he repeatedly not recognized? Why was he framed again and again, contrary to his original intention again and again, and made his father angry and disappointed again and again?
"Lone did something wrong?" King Qi's face was gloomy and he asked in a cold voice.
Wei Fusi smiled bitterly, "Of course the king is right. From the king's standpoint, not only to destroy Goguryeo, but also to attack Andong, so Anton's army not only had to rush to Huaiyuan to rendezvous, but also to charge in front and attack the city, so that two birds with one stone were killed, but ......" Wei Fusi glanced at King Qi and said euphemistically, "From the standpoint of Weifu, or from Anton's standpoint, what are their interests?" The king's loyalty to the Lord does not mean that they are also loyal to the Lord, and the interests of the kingdom that the kings seek are not the same as the interests of the kingdom that they want to pursue. β
King Qi's eyes showed a cold light, and he asked with a sneer, "So what?" β
"Therefore, the king should seek common ground while reserving differences, should actively compromise with all parties, find common interests in compromise, and then use common interests as the basis to promote all parties to work together to maximize benefits."
"What is the common good?" King Qi's expression was gloomy and he asked.
"The common interest of all parties at the moment is to win the Third Crusade." Wei Fuji said, "As long as the Third Eastern Crusade is victorious, even if it fails to capture Pyongyang and destroy Goguryeo, even if it finally gets a Goguryeo surrender document, it will be a victory." β
King Qi was furious and could not agree with what Wei Fusi said. The three-year crusade to the east, exhausting the national strength, just for a Goguryeo surrender letter? This is the national interest that Wei Fu and Anton want to pursue? How can this be reasonable, reversing black and white, this is fundamentally putting personal and group interests above the interests of the national Zuo, and protecting the interests of individuals and groups to the greatest extent at the cost of harming the interests of the national Zuo.
"This is the strategy of Yuwenshu and the Commander's Headquarters to advance in parallel with the water 6 and attack the same way in three ways? This is the reason why the generals of the Weifu refused to rush Anton's army to Huaiyuan to rendezvous? King Qi asked sharply, "Lone wants to know, in addition to their own interests, is there any Middle Earth in their hearts?" Is there still a world of people? Is there still a holy lord? Is there a black and white right and wrong, a moral conscience? β
Wei Fusi scoffed. Li Shanheng also looked at King Qi with disdain and pity, who was almost out of control. After so many setbacks and blows, King Qi has indeed matured, but unfortunately he has matured on the wrong path, and it is indeed a flower that grows in a greenhouse, and it is a captive and tamed tiger, which is useless. Black and white, moral conscience? Are you mistaken, as long as you win, you are referring to the deer as the horse, and who dares to say that it is not a horse?
Speaking of which, the ideas and views between the monarch and the minister have been far apart, the contradictions between the monarch and the minister have become irreconcilable, and the differences between them are also irreconcilable, which makes Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng more pessimistic about the future, but they must persevere, because Li Zixiong and Li Hun are still trying to maintain cooperation with this emerging force with Li Fengyun as the leader, and the Civil War is about to break out, may be able to reverse the situation and write history, so for a better future, even if you are broken, you have to fight to the death.
"The king, with all due respect, what has become a fait accompli will definitely not be changed."
Before Wei Fusi finished speaking, King Qi was furious, "You mean, being alone here, is just a puppet, just an ornament, just a joke?" β
"The king is angry." Wei Fusi was light and shook his hand slightly, "The king's crusade is seeking merit and the future, not power, not making enemies on all sides, let alone being a scapegoat, being played by others. β
Li Shanheng also bowed to salute, "King, the decision to advance 6 water and attack at the same time is like a flood that bursts the embankment, and it is unstoppable." The king must not be blindly impulsive and do useless work, let alone be misguided by anger, and be framed by others. β
"How can it be!" The king of Qi scolded angrily, "Seeing that they are harming the great interests of the country, not only can Lone not be able to stop it, but it cannot be saved, but it must also turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye? Once the Eastern Crusade fails, it will bear the brunt of the crime alone. In the First Eastern Crusade, how did Liu Shilong, the right man of Shangshu who also served as the consolation envoy of Liaodong, die? He died unjustly, and Sashui was defeated, what does it have to do with him? Lessons from the past and teachers of the future, do you turn a blind eye and put your heart to death? β
Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng looked at each other, and a hint of cunning flashed in their eyes.
"The king is angry." Wei Fusi said calmly, "The king's crusade to the east is to seek meritorious deeds......
King Qi was furious, and without waiting for Wei Fusi to finish speaking, he shouted sharply, "Lone is just an ornament here, and you are so timid and afraid of things that you actually helped outsiders to seal Lone's mouth. β
"The king is right." Wei Fusi said quietly.
"The king has insight." Li Shanheng said expressionlessly flattering.
King Qi was so angry that his face was red, and he didn't know what to scold. Right? Penetrating insight? What kind of mess, inexplicable, do you mock Lone to your face, do you work against Lone, or do you pun on it, and refer to something else?
"The king is right." Wei Fusi extended his thumbs to King Qi to show his appreciation, "The king is not only an ornament here, but also the target of everyone, and as soon as the Holy Lord arrives, the king's crusade will end, and the king's dream of seeking meritorious deeds will be shattered." β
As soon as these words came out, it was like a basin of ice water poured on his head, which immediately extinguished the raging anger of King Qi, from top to bottom, his face turned from red to blue, and his eyes revealed boundless fear.
As soon as the Holy Lord arrived, King Qi was going to the palace to meet him, and after entering the palace, could King Qi still come out? In the past two years, the Holy Lord has been on the Eastern Expedition, and the King of Qi has taken the opportunity to "escape" from the Eastern Capital, causing too much trouble to the Holy Lord and causing too many hidden dangers.
This is a foreseeable thing, I don't know if King Qi has illusions about the Holy Lord, or is self-righteous and takes it for granted, or deliberately ignores it out of fear, in short, King Qi doesn't say a word about it, and Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng can't turn a blind eye to it, they can't fail to mention it, because once King Qi re-enters the cage, Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng will have to bear the responsibility for a series of "bad" behaviors after King Qi "escaped" from the Eastern Capital, and if it is serious, not only can their lives not be saved, but they may also affect their relatives.
This is completely predictable, how can Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng be restrained? Would you like to be buried for the king of Qi? What to do? How can I help myself? There is only one way, to use the Eastern Crusade to make meritorious contributions, and to save his own life with the merit of destroying Goguryeo.
However, under the current situation, the goal of capturing Pyongyang and destroying Goguryeo seems to be getting farther and farther away, even if the Holy Lord and the center have such a will, but it is the expeditionary soldiers, the army, and the defense government that are attacking the city, and now judging from the decision of the Eastern Expedition Command and the mystery behind the decision, it is already very good that the Third Eastern Crusade can achieve the minimum expected goal.
King Qi calmed down, weighed it again, and asked, "What is the plan?" β
"The king already has a countermeasure, just make a slight adjustment." Wei Fusi stroked his long beard and smiled slightly.
King Qi was surprised, "Is there a countermeasure? β
"The king has a plan, he must immediately send an envoy to the north, urging Li Pingyuan to go south to Huaiyuan." Wei Fusi praised, "This plan is very good. β
King Qi was puzzled, "How to adjust?" β
Wei Fusi looked at King Qi with a solemn expression, and said word by word, "The king personally went north. β
King Qi suddenly woke up, suddenly felt suffocated, his face changed greatly, and blurted out, "Never!." β
Wei Fusi's meaning is very straightforward, there is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here, rather than stay in Huaiyuan here and wait for death, it is better to lead the army north to meet Li Pingyuan, and attack Goguryeo with Andong's army, and take a dangerous fight, so there is still hope to destroy Goguryeo, establish the merit of expanding the territory, and the merit is in hand, the name moves the world, even if the holy lord wants to imprison the king of Qi and severely punish Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng, he must find an appropriate opportunity and excuse, which gives the king of Qi, Wei Fusi and Li Shanheng enough time to maneuver and move, Because the next thing is the Civil War, the Holy Lord will unite internally and externally, if the Holy Lord Qi Wang and his family kill the killer, it is tantamount to self-chaos and self-destruction of the Great Wall, which is extremely unwise. And after the outbreak of the Civil War, the variables were great, and everything was possible.
But the drawback of this plan is also obvious, that is, the king of Qi proved that he not only cooperated closely with the white thief, but also determined to unite with Andong, an emerging force, to fight the Holy Lord to the end, so that even if he and the Andong army destroyed Goguryeo and built a meritorious career of expanding the territory, the Holy Lord would not believe in his loyalty, let alone forgive his "betrayal", so this is a dead end, and it is difficult for King Qi to accept.
"Don't make hasty decisions, my lord." Li Shanheng Zhengse admonished, "Staying in Huaiyuan is a dead end, there is no hope, and although it is a dead end to meet Li Pingyuan in the north, there is still a glimmer of hope, how to choose, please consider it carefully and weigh it repeatedly, so as not to regret it for life." β
