Chapter 235: Isn't it a little ruthless?
(Tomorrow is sealed, please support everyone with full firepower, thank you.) )
Because of the injustice of heaven, these six words are a bit high-sounding suspicion, and as we all know, the bigger and more serious the excuses that sound like that, they are often false, and the way of heaven is unfair, what is the way of heaven? What is Gong?
After Li Xian finished speaking, he looked at Feng Xiaoci and stopped talking, he didn't explain anything but waited for Feng Xiaoci to say something. Obviously, it sounded like a slightly perfunctory and boring answer, but Feng Xiaoci fell into deep thought. Because of the word Tiandao, he remembered His Majesty the Emperor, and remembered that His Majesty had indeed become more and more confused in the past few years. The government has rarely paid attention to it anymore, and those few slanderous ministers control the national artifact but only care about the interests of their own families, speaking of which, this chaos in the world began in the highest place in the world, and the highest place is Your Majesty.
Because of the word injustice, he thought of the indifferent young general in front of him, and now he is the most powerful anti-thief leader on the south bank of the Yellow River. What happened in the war in Liaodong, Feng Xiaoci knew that he had never thought that this would be a deliberate plan by the young man in front of him, how could he not understand those truths in the officialdom as the general of the right guard? This young man has no foundation in the army, and even if he makes great achievements, it is in vain.
So, he thought about it seriously for a long time.
"It's only temporary."
He looked at Li Xian and said seriously: "When Goguryeo is destroyed and the imperial court no longer raises troops, the chaos in the world will end, and it will not take three or five years for the people to recover." ”
"It can't be said that it has nothing to do with the imperial crusade."
Li Xian smiled and said, "But Old General Feng, when you said this just now, do you think you can convince others?" Probably convince yourself? ”
He pointed to the sky and then to the ground: "You and I stand at different angles, so we see different things, you watch the emperor do things, and I watch the people do things." It is your duty to be loyal to the king, and there is no fault in you. So you led the army to attack my Yanyun Village, I don't have a trace of resentment, if you and I switch positions, maybe the end will still be the same. But general, have you ever thought that if there are so many rebellions today, how many of them are really ambitious and have great intentions? Most people don't just want to survive, they just want to eat three meals a day and be cold? ”
Feng Xiaoci said: "How do you know that Your Majesty will not change this situation?" His Majesty is eloquent and strategic, Wuzhi opened up the territory and expanded the territory, Pingnan Chen, Keliuqiu, destroyed Tuguhun, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, was invincible, and all countries came to the court. Wenzhi, open the imperial examination, select talents, the children of the poor family have a beginning, the two canals run through the north and south, heavy agriculture and business, try to ask which emperor has been like Your Majesty throughout the ages? ”
Li Xian asked rhetorically: "Then why is the world here?" ”
Feng Xiaoci said: "Because of the annihilation of the chaotic government, the fault is not Your Majesty. ”
For civil officials such as Pei Ju, Yu Shiji and others, Feng Xiaoci also resented in his heart, so he did not hide anything, he bluntly said what he thought in his heart, and he was not pretentious.
Li Xian praised: "The general is so open! ”
"Annihilation of the chaotic government, what is the problem?"
He asked: "I say something that the general doesn't like to hear, what does the world of the Great Sui rely on to maintain consolidation, and what does it rely on to keep it safe and sound?" It's the people. But this world is not the world of the people, and in the final analysis, it is not the emperor's world at all, but the world of the family. The general also said just now that the emperor opened the imperial examination to take scholars, so let me ask the general, can there be one of the important ministers in the court who is from the imperial examination? Coming from a humble background? Let me ask the general again, the interests of the family are closely related to the interests of the imperial court, is the family trying to maintain the imperial court or its own family? ”
"The general was ordered to rehabilitate, so let's talk about this rebellion, the people are against it, and the imperial army will be beheaded without mercy. And Yang Xuangan rebelled a while ago, and there was almost no missing from the families in the imperial court. The Pei family, the Yu family, the Han family, and the ....... of these people were all named generals by Yang Xuangan, and they also fought with the so-called rebels, and finally Yang Xuangan was defeated and died. ”
"Moreover, could it be that these people surrendered to Yang Xuangan, and they were really cornered and forced to be helpless? I'm afraid it's nothing more than a dirty trick of betting on both ends, no matter who wins or who loses, they won't lose! ”
Feng Xiaoci was stunned, shook his head slowly, and said: "Feng is just a martial artist, just fight in all directions, where Your Majesty's hand is pointing, I will fight wherever it goes." ”
"You're running away from the problem."
Li Xian smiled and said, "So, you can't persuade me, and I can't persuade you, general." After all, there is still hostility between you and me, and now that you and I are talking face to face and talking calmly here, isn't the general afraid of bringing trouble upon himself? ”
His eyes drifted in the direction of Dongping County's Zhiyun City, and the meaning was self-evident.
Feng Xiaoci thought about it and said very seriously: "If I defeat you and kill you, no one will criticize you." ”
Li Xian smiled: "You don't have many opportunities." ”
Feng Xiaoci nodded and said, "One time is enough." ”
Li Xian smiled: "I hope ...... You can have this chance. ”
……
……
More than 3,000 corpses were neatly placed on the ground, and more than 20,000 soldiers of the right guard stood solemnly behind them. At the back of the queue, Wu Xingzhi, the county guard of Dongping County, was there with an ugly face, looking at the solemnity of the soldiers waiting for the right guard, as if he was watching a joke.
"What are the thieves of Yanyun Village doing?"
Wu Xingzhi said in a low voice: "Showing benevolence and righteousness? ”
Zhang Sanheng shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I care about this, but obviously the thief sent it to the door himself, why didn't Feng Xiaoci fight?" It is only right to take this opportunity to exterminate the thief in one fell swoop, and it seems that he has a good conversation with the thief. ”
Wu Xingzhi nodded and said: "Old General Feng's move is indeed suspected of fearing the enemy and avoiding war, if the imperial court knows about it......"
Zhang Sanheng said with a straight face: "I am an official of the imperial court, so naturally I can't sit idly by!" ”
Wu Xingzhi smiled, very happy in his heart. Thinking about what Lord Pei Ju explained, this time I finally found a reason. A few days ago, Pei Ju, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, wrote a handwritten letter to him, the meaning of which was obvious, that is, to let Wu Xingzhi find Feng Xiaoci's handle to sue him, and now the twists and turns are handled by Pei Ju and Yu Shiji, as long as Wu Xingzhi's participation Feng Xiaoci's folds are sent to Jiangdu, Pei Ju naturally has a way to let the emperor see it.
Although he didn't know what gap there was between Feng Xiaoci and Lord Pei Ju, he knew one thing very well, even if Feng Xiaoci was a general from the third grade, he couldn't fight against His Majesty's most trusted Lord Pei.
He thought with pity, isn't it pitiful for a dignified right-hand guard general to be ruined like this?
It's just that mercy is mercy, and Wu Xingzhi still plans to fulfill his duties as the county guard of Dongping County. The right guard general is afraid of the enemy's cowardice and colludes with the thief leader to plot against him, this is a very big thing, as a local official who is loyal to His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor, he can't watch Feng Xiaoci act so dirty.
"Let's go back."
Wu Xingzhi glanced at Zhang Sanheng and said, "How to phrase it, you and I still need to be cautious." ”
Zhang Sanheng said: "This is nature, who knows if it can be put to death?" In case you can't ...... We can't offend people thoroughly. ”
He frowned as he spoke, as if he were faced with a very difficult choice.
Feng Xiaoci ordered the remains of the soldiers to be buried, and then sent someone to tell Li Xian that there would be a battle in the future. Li Xian's answer was that I was waiting for the general to arrive in Juyeze.
It seems that the end of a big incident is a bit hurried, but the process of this matter is actually not important at all, Ye Huaisleeve said from the beginning that it depends on the effect of this matter. Now those famous heroes of the Green Forest Road actually do not care very much about the Juye Zeyan Cloud Village, this battle can be said to be the first time in the past three years that the entire Green Forest Road has won the battle with the government soldiers, before this, whether it is the famous Wang Bo, Gao Shida, Dou Jiande, Zhang Jincheng, or the Wagangzhai that has gradually become famous in the past year, has never defeated the Great Sui soldiers in a frontal war.
When Li Xian returned, he was lazy and did not continue to ride forward, but got into Ye Huaisleeve's comfortable carriage and shamelessly grabbed a position.
"What are you thinking?"
Ye Huaisleeve looked at Li Xian, who didn't regard himself as an outsider, and asked, while the latter was lying on the side of the carriage with his head resting on his arm and eating fruit. As soon as he took a bite, the juice flowed out along the corner of his mouth, Ye Huaisleeve frowned slightly, naturally picked up the handkerchief, raised his slender jade hand and wiped it at the corner of Li Xian's mouth.
"I'm wondering if I'll also give the big dark horse a car in the future."
Li Xian smiled and said, "It's more comfortable to lie down." ”
I don't know if it was deliberate or really not paying attention, Ye Huaisleeve wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth for him, Li Xian didn't react, and he still looked comfortable lying there.
"I thought that after you sent the body back, you would take the opportunity to extort some money and food back."
Ye Huaisleeve said in a low voice.
"Am I so shameless?"
Li Xian said seriously: "If you want to fight, you will fight openly, I have always disdained this kind of thing, well, you should know me very well, right?" ”
Ye Huai glanced at him and said seriously: "Can't you be more serious?" ”
Li Xian looked at Ye Huaisleeve and asked in the most skeptical tone, "You don't know?" ”
Ye Huaisleeve was a little uncomfortable by him, and she persevered for a while but was defeated, she looked out of the window and muttered, "Won't this be more ruthless?" ”
Li Xian shook his head and nodded again.
"A soldier who surrenders without a fight can only do something that lacks morality. Soldiers don't get tired of cheating, soldiers don't get tired of cheating. ”
"Why ......"
Ye Huaisleeve asked softly, "You always think about so many things in your head, aren't you tired?" At your age, it seems that your mind is too dark. ”
Li Xian stuffed the last bite of fruit into his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth, and remained silent.
Pei Ju's letter was actually from him.
