Chapter 515: Zhang Wenxuan's attitude 2
Seeing Li Ming bow his head and ponder, Zhang Ru was silent for a while before continuing: "I know you are very embarrassed, and I don't want you to be embarrassed, but my brother now has a last resort, and he must take these three thousand people to break through the siege of the 300,000 army, what do you say I should do." ”
The low tone and sincere gaze made Li Ming lose his mind in an instant.
What to do?
I want to ask what to do?
Now that you are in a different position from me, I will just let you go, how can I explain to the court?
But if I don't let you go, how can I explain to those brothers who once fought side by side?
Li Ming is now in a dilemma, he doesn't know what to do, and he can't think of what to do.
"What do you think I'm going to do?" After thinking for a while, Li Ming looked up at Zhang Ru and asked.
There was no shame in his eyes, and he fought on the battlefield, each with his own position.
Zhang Ru said: "Turn a blind eye and just let my people go, I can't guarantee that I won't cause trouble for you after I pass, but I will try not to cause trouble for you." ”
Li Ming frowned and said: "I am a general of the imperial court, and letting you go over is already letting you cause trouble for me." ”
"It's not a big deal, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and others won't know." Zhang Ru persuaded him.
Li Ming shook his head stubbornly: "There are not only military generals in the court, so many ministers also have eyes, as long as one person leaks the news, the 300,000 army may be fine, and the soldiers of Jizhen will be wiped out." ”
"Why not gamble!" Zhang Rudao.
"I can't afford to gamble, and neither can the 100,000 troops in Jizhen begin." Li Ming said.
Zhang Ru sighed and said, "My brother is being bullied in the capital now, if I don't go over, I'm sorry for my conscience." ”
Li Ming also said: "My brother is in front of you now, your brother may only have one or two, but my brother has 100,000, each of them has a family, they also have their children, and there are people they care about." I, Li Ming, don't regret dying for you Zhang Wenxuan, but I can't let so many brothers die with you. Besides, the relationship between you and me doesn't seem to have gotten to the point where I will die for you. ”
The words are rough, but the reason is not rough at all.
You Zhang Wenxuan is not my Li Ming's brother in life and death, nor is it my blood relative, why should I use this good head to bury you.
Not to mention that you don't have a head run at all like a lost dog now, even if you are still the Dingbian Marquis of the imperial court, as long as Your Majesty orders it, I, Li Ming, still have to meet you with the sword.
Li Ming insisted on his own opinion, because he was a general of the imperial court.
Zhang Ru also knew what Li Ming's insistence meant, after all, this was a society where the monarchy was supreme, and the emperor had issued an order, as long as this courtier did not have the intention of rebellion, they would definitely not disobey the emperor's will.
This is embarrassing, he can't go, and Li Ming didn't say that he wanted his soldiers to encircle and suppress his people. You can't just go back to your own Fuzhou City, and then make people laugh at it.
Besides, Li Ming didn't let his subordinates attack Zhang Ru when he opened the city gate, which was already enough to give Zhang Ru face.
"Have you ever wondered why His Majesty ordered to besiege Fuzhou City but did not order an attack for several months, there is a reason." Zhang Rudao.
Li Ming said: "Your Majesty naturally has Your Majesty's reasons, this is not something that I, as a courtier, should ask about." ”
Zhang Ru smiled: "Then you didn't think that Your Majesty might let people surround Fuzhou just for show?" ”
Li Ming vetoed: "Impossible, Your Majesty is the Emperor of the World, how can he let hundreds of thousands of troops surround Fuzhou City but only make a show." The daily attrition of hundreds of thousands of troops is not a small amount, and even if the imperial court is full of treasury, His Majesty will definitely not do such a thing that costs the people and money. ”
Zhang Ru looked behind Li Ming, and then stretched out his finger and pointed into the distance: "You look back, hundreds of thousands of troops stretch for dozens of miles, and what surrounds them is our own Fuzhou City."
When did I say I was going to rebel? When did I rebel again? Has Your Majesty ever issued an edict clearly stating that the mobilization of 300,000 troops was to conquer the traitor Zhang Wenxuan?
Everything was conjectured by those who wanted the head around my neck. They want me to die, because I have blocked their way. Only if I die, they can open their mouths to bite at any time on the fat meat of Fuzhou.
But I can't die, because if I die, the people of Fuzhou City will be slaughtered, and those maritime merchants who want to bring benefits to the imperial court will be ruined, and the Paoze Brotherhood who once followed me to fight the Tatars on the battlefield will be imprisoned.
I don't blame you for blocking my way, the military order is like a mountain!
But I'm leaving, you can't stop me!
I won't kill you, and I won't use 3,000 horsemen to resist an army of 300,000. I can't beat it.
I will only take my brothers step by step in the direction of the capital, because there, my brother is being bullied now.
You can not let me go, you can order people to shoot arrows, as long as you give the order, I am sure that someone will rush forward without their lives.
How to choose, Li Ming, weigh it yourself. ”
Li Minghe had been threatened like this by a young man, and after Zhang Ru's words were finished, he had the impulse to order archery. You must know that he was sent by the emperor, and now Zhang Ru is leaving, without the emperor's order, he can completely order Zhang Ru to be shot. Even if it is really as Zhang Ru said at that time, all this is just the emperor's appearance, and the emperor will not dare to treat him Li Ming in the open.
If Zhu Youzhu really dared to deal with Li Ming because of Zhang Ru's death, then he, the emperor, might not be able to sit still.
If someone else does something for you, you will kill you, and if you don't do something for you, you will kill you, who dares to do something for you?
At the moment when the words were about to be spoken, Li Ming held back.
He suddenly remembered the young man who took the hand of a wounded soldier in the border city of Datong and said brother, I will take you home, suddenly remembered the young man who ran to the Tatar camp single-handedly and came back unharmed, and suddenly remembered the young man who shouted hoarsely in the face of Wencheng's attack that the Datong border army was not convinced, and the soldiers who died on the battlefield were not convinced.
Ask yourself, if it were him, Li Ming didn't think he had the courage.
It doesn't matter now, or when you're young.
Zhang Ru walked slowly like this, and every time he took a step forward, the imperial army in front of him blocking the way would automatically give way to a road under pressure.
One foot!
Two feet!
Ten zhang!
Baizhang!
Li Ming, who had been in a state of entanglement, still did not order to shoot Zhang Ru and the others after all, he sat on horseback, watched Zhang Ru leave the sphere of influence of the army, and then walked away.
"General, let people go like this, let" Zhang Ru's figure had completely disappeared from sight, and only then did the generals under his command open their mouths quite worriedly.
Li Ming left a long sigh: "Abandon all the blame, you will bear it." ”
