Chapter 046: Not being envied by others is mediocre
As Zhao Zhuo said before he died, Ye Yu can be said to be an outlier among the descendants of the Zhao family.
Wu Xi was listening from the side, and Ye Yu was aware of it at the beginning.
But whether this kind of listening was intentional or unintentional, he could take this opportunity to draw the Sichuan Shu Wu clan into his camp.
His reuse of Wu Xi was, in essence, because he took a fancy to Wu Xi's military ability, and at the same time, he also took a fancy to the military strength of Sichuan and Shu who could be the king independently.
Now that he has this opportunity in his hands, how can he, Ye Yu, be a person who gives up lightly
The wind on the mountain was very cold, and the cloaks behind the wind were hunting.
Ye Yu squatted down and picked up Zhao Zhuo, who was already dead, and then threw him into the cliff in front of him without hesitation.
Then he didn't stop any longer, turned around and walked down the gem mountain.
At the garrison under the mountain, Wu Xi was waiting with an uneasy expression. Seeing Ye Yu walking down with a flat expression, he greeted him with anxiety: "My lord...
Before Wu Xi could finish speaking, Ye Yu had already waved his hand to interrupt: "King Fu has already committed suicide by jumping off the cliff, go back with this official to resume his life."
"Jumping ......"
Wu Xi suddenly looked relieved and saluted respectfully: "The last general will obey the order"
The sunset at dusk heralds the end of the day and the end of a battle to defend the capital.
The fires outside the city had been extinguished, but thick smoke filled the air, informing everyone that there had been a battle here.
The broken military flag and the corpses in different places are shocking.
Ye Yu glanced at the blood-soaked battlefield, sighed and rode towards the city.
Back in the imperial city, Xiaozong Zhao You specially summoned Ye Yu into the palace.
In the main hall, before Xiaozong opened his mouth to ask about King Fu's whereabouts, Ye Yu was already ashamed to kneel in public: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty"
"The Qing family has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebels, how can they be blamed?"
"King Fu committed suicide by jumping off a cliff in despair because of the general situation, and it was Wechen's fault that he failed to rescue him in time."
"Jumped off a cliff and killed yourself?" Xiaozong Zhao Youyou heard the bad news of King Fu, in addition to being surprised, he was more regretful.
Then he sighed, waved his hand and said weakly: "It's just a matter of raising troops to plot rebellion, and it is hard to forgive, and jumping off a cliff to commit suicide is also a decision."
"The Qing family has a meritorious role in quelling the rebellion, and I will not blame the Qing family for this"
"Xie Majesty Xià Longen"
After that, Xiaozong Zhao You asked Ye Yu about the details of this battle, especially the two fires outside the capital, and he was even more curious.
Ye Yu did not hide the mystery of this, and roughly explained it to everyone, and everyone was surprised when he heard it.
"The Qing family's fire is so good, one fire is enough to retreat the 170,000 army"
"Weichen didn't dare to bow, this is all thanks to His Majesty's mandate of heaven, so when it rains heavily, it will help the oil spread to the battalions of the three armies" Ye Yu didn't dare to have the slightest merit, but just took a very loud sycophant.
"Hahaha, good, good"
Originally, the danger in the capital had been solved, and Zhao You's mood was exceptionally good, but now when he heard Ye Yu so flattering, he was also so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
Although Ye Yu's sentence is suspected of slapping the horse's whiskers, what he said does make some sense. Because this time he was able to win a big victory, it was completely due to the right time, place and people, and it was definitely not his own work.
At the turn of summer and autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a lot of rain, which is not conducive to taking fire attacks themselves.
However, Ye Yu took advantage of the pervasive infiltration of water and the various flow trends of the river's surge and spread, and mixed it with oil to make the disadvantage advantageous, which was also with the help of the convenience of the time.
Lin'an City has a wide moat, with West Lake in the west and Qiantang River in the east.
In fact, the fire was just a tool, a tool to disturb the morale of the army, and no more than 5,000 people were actually burned to death on the two battlefields, and most of them were trampled to death by the panicked rebel army.
The combat power of the Song army was not strong, and coupled with Ye Yu's divine theory of the Heavenly Fire Descending in advance, the hearts of the people who were originally not cohesive collapsed instantly, which was the key to the entire battlefield.
As soon as the morale of the army was scattered, all collapsed
Hugh wants to say that this fire is burning very strongly, even if it is not burning, for the soldiers who believe in the divine authority of the king, their rebellion is against the sky
The spread of this kind of thinking is like a plague defeated without a fight
The soldier is treacherous, and the heart is the first.
Therefore, except for a small part of the resistance, all the remaining 100,000 troops surrendered
And the 100,000 troops left by Zhao Zhuo, the king of Fu, have just become Ye Yu's vital force to defend Jianghuai in the future
When he walked out of the palace, Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, came to Ye Yu's side and said pleasantly: "The fourth brother's methods are really clever, and I admire my brother very much......
"His Royal Highness's words seem to mean something, Ye Yu is dull, please ask Your Highness to say it clearly"
Zhao Kai waved his hand and said: "Hehe, the fourth brother misunderstood, and broke hundreds of thousands of rebels between talking and laughing, isn't this clever?" ”
"Your Highness has an overreputation"
"If the fourth brother has a free day, he can go to his brother's house as a guest, and if there are many trivial things for his brother, he will leave first."
"Please"
"Greetings to Your Highness"
King Qing got into the carriage and left the palace, but Ye Yu still stood in place thoughtfully.
At this time, Jiang Fu behind him walked over, glanced in the direction that Ye Yu was staring at, and then said leisurely: "It seems that His Royal Highness King Qing has a grudge against you......"
"Oh, you see?"
"What you did today is the perfect ......"
Ye Yu turned to look at Jiang Fu: "Before, you were worried that I would arrest King Fu back and put His Majesty in a difficult situation?" ”
"Adult Wise"
After Jiang Fu praised, he said solemnly: "Although King Fu should be beheaded for rebellion and rebellion, but the edict to execute King Fu will inevitably be suspected of being in the same room, which is the most taboo thing for the royal family."
"Kill it, your majesty will add to the stain of benevolence; If you don't kill and be confined, you are afraid of taking the opportunity to make waves again. This is indeed a difficult thing for His Majesty to deal with today. ”
"That's right, so whether King Fu really committed suicide by jumping off a cliff or ......, the process doesn't matter, the important thing is that you have solved another problem for Your Majesty now."
Ye Yu looked at Jiang Fu with a serious look, and then smiled: "It seems that Ye is not the only one who is trying to figure out the sacred heart, but Master Jiang has a unique vision."
"Xiaguan ......"
"If you can be a real iron man who can be tempered by the sky, and not be envied by others, if King Qing is really jealous, then there is no way for the official"
When Ye Yu said this, he suddenly became cold: "However, everyone has jealousy, but if it is excessive, it will kill people."
After saying this, Ye Yu ignored Jiang Fu, but got into the carriage and left the palace directly.
But this sentence has been lingering in Jiang Fu's ears, because this sentence is Ye Yu talking to himself, but it is also an attitude towards the world.
After so many things, especially the arrival of the divine fire in the capital this time, Jiang Fu suddenly remembered Yu Yunwen's words back then: "The famous sword was born, how can mortals be able to control it."
