There were only five people in the room.

Zhuo Lingyun, Zhuo Ziyun, Hu Yanfeng, Du Siyuan, Ling Fang.

Zhuo Ziyun. Zhuo Lingyun's brothers and nephews have many people who serve in the army, and they share honor and disgrace with him and are the most loyal. It's a pity that only Zhuo Ziyun is really talented and capable, and he can get on the table.

Hu Yanfeng. Over the years, Zhuo Lingyun has fought in all directions, and there are heroes in the army who have defected, and newcomers have risen. Although they were martial artists, they had never served under Fang Qingchen's tent, and even if they had some respect for the legendary Fang Hou, they couldn't talk about any feelings. It's just that these people are still young by his side, and there are not many who can really become his cronies. Among the new generals, the first one to be recommended is Hu Yanfeng. He is regarded as Zhuo Lingyun's right-hand man, and his bravery, decisiveness and resoluteness have always been praised by the whole army.

Du Siyuan. Famous people of the Shanyang family. In the troubled times, with the power of his family, he defected to Zhuo Lingyun. Zhuo Lingyun also wants to use the power of the gate lords in this place to stabilize the political situation for him, and also treat each other with courtesy, and listen to his words more when major events in the army are decided. Although Zhuo Lingyun knows that he wants to recruit celebrities and make friends with wealthy families, he has not changed his temperament, and he can always use these civil servants and strategists, and can be respected but not kissed. Therefore, apart from Du Siyuan, he couldn't think of anyone else to call.

Ling Fang...... Zhuo Lingyun's subordinates have been with him for a long time, and they are commensurate with brothers on weekdays, the most intimate friends in the army, and their cronies, but they have also served under Fang Qingchen's tent with him back then. They have the deepest affection for Fang Qingchen, and their admiration for him is the heaviest, but today's matter is too delicate. So, except for Ling Fang, who already knew about it, he didn't even summon anyone.

"Today's events are not trivial, God knows, you know and I know. After the agreement is made, you can go out of this door, you can't sue heaven and earth, and you can't sue your wives and children, can you do it? ”

Such a solemn attitude made the three later people nervous, and each nodded.

After Ling Fang elaborated on the meeting with Fang Qingchen, Zhuo Lingyun passed the letter from Fang Qingchen to everyone again, and the secret room was so quiet that it was panicking.

The first to regain composure was Du Siyuan.

With a shocked face turned into a smile, he calmly got up and saluted: "Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general, this is the great achievement of the heavenly help general!" ”

Zhuo Lingyun smiled reluctantly and asked, "Siyuan, where does the joy come from?" ”

"Fang Hou is about to appear, and the general should immediately greet him with a heavy salute and announce this great news to the world! In the future, the general will take Fang Hou as his master and father, and carry out the gift of his disciples, and in the name of Fang Hou, he can summon heroes from all over the world to gather to fight against Qin! Nowadays, most of the heroes of the Chu State are the old department of Fang Hou, and everyone calls themselves Fang Hou's old subordinates. Then Fang Hou has an order, if they come, they will be under the command of the general, and if they don't come, they will be treacherous and shameless villains who deceive the world. With Fang Hou in charge, the general will be able to unite the forces of this half of the country as soon as possible, and then let go and fight with the Qin people with all their might! ”

Zhuo Ziyun nodded when he said this, but Ling Fang raised his eyebrows slightly, and stopped talking.

Zhuo Lingyun sighed helplessly: "Siyuan, have you ever read the letter carefully?" Fang Hou was very unimpressed by my actions. If he were to join the army, he would have openly disputed with me. I respect Fang Hou as my master and father, how can I not obey his orders? ”

Du Siyuan smiled calmly: "We respect Fang Hou as a teacher and a teacher, but not for handsome!" The general is the commander of the whole army! Since Fang Hou and the general have the friendship of life and death, and the grace of teaching and preaching, how can they not understand the difficulties of the general, even if there are really one or two differences, everyone can always persuade Fang Hou behind closed doors and discuss slowly. ”

The so-called coercion, the so-called overhead, the so-called offering table on the Bodhisattva. Du Siyuan is quite satisfied with his wishful thinking. He was a man of letters, and he was the best at scheming. The other party Qingchen, the god of war in the army, although he is famous, he does not have the instinctive respect of a martial artist. Whether it is for himself or for his family, he has to do his best to plan for Zhuo Lingyun, and it is easy to consider the gains and losses.

Zhuo Lingyun looked at his calm appearance and smiled very slowly.

As for the literati, they are always very good at talking. The purpose of forcibly conscripting the people's husbands is to protect the family and defend the country, and the forcible extortion of the people's wealth is for the peace of the world. No matter how despicable things are, they can still be gentle and elegant, and they can speak so high-soundingly.

However, Zhuo Lingyun needs such a person. He also doesn't think he's qualified to hate such people.

It's just that literati are literati after all.

Therefore, Zhuo Lingyun smiled helplessly and said lightly: "That person is Fang Hou." ”

"What if he's Fang Hou?" Hu Yanfeng said angrily: "The world is different!" Who still thinks he is the same Fang Hou before! ”

In Hu Yanfeng's view, all his own credit is his own knife and gun, blood and sweat fighting back, why should he accept that there is another master on the current master to press himself? Therefore, his tone was sonorous, his eyes were sharp, and he did not hesitate: "General, even if the Taizu of Chu State is resurrected, what we can get here is only an honorable position, and we must be sensible and obedient, otherwise...... Hum! ”

Hu Yanfeng is indeed a heroic and decisive person.

Zhuo Lingyun stared at Hu Yanfeng and smiled slightly: "You haven't seen him, so you won't understand." Then he slowly turned his eyes to look at Du Siyuan: "Siyuan, although you are smart, you are a literati after all, so you will never understand some people and some things." ”

He was depressed, but his eyes couldn't help but show admiration and yearning: "If the Taizu of Chu is resurrected, I will naturally threaten the princes, but the Marquis of Fang ......"

He slowly glanced at the four people present, and his expression was so subtle and complicated that it was indescribable: "This kind of person, you can kill him, but you can't coerce him." You can destroy him, but you can't be subdued. He is Fang Qingchen, he is Fang Hou! Siyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he was a little frightened. Hu Yanfeng stepped forward immediately?

So, what's there to talk about in this matter? The general is benevolent, and everything will be handed over to the last general, and he will be able to do it without leakage, that is...... Just in case......"

He gritted his teeth: "In case he leaks the news one day, all the blame will be borne by one person!" It will never damage the reputation of the general! ”

Du Siyuan said happily: "General Huyan's words are really the words of her husband, the general ......"

Zhuo Lingyun waved his hand violently, preventing them from continuing. His eyes fell on Zhuo Ziyun: "Ziyun, what do you think?" ”

Zhuo Ziyun lowered his head, and said for a long time before he said: "The matter is big, Ziyun doesn't dare to comment at will, everything is up to the eldest brother." It's just that...... It's just that Xiao Xiaoyue's matter, Fang Hou's letter analyzed the gains and losses clearly, it is indeed better to let go, big brother ......"

Du Siyuan looked stunned, and Hu Yanfeng frowned and snorted heavily. Zhuo Lingyun was also a little surprised. Zhuo Ziyun was originally a shrewd person, but he didn't expect that when discussing major matters, he was still thinking about his childhood sweetheart. Since I can't let go of my childhood sweetheart, I can't bear my future ambitions, and I am prosperous and rich. It's so slimy, the two ends of the first mouse, it's really ......

Zhuo Lingyun smiled dumbly. He is really not qualified to scold his brother for being too unproductive. He himself is only fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter here.

In the barren mountains and mountains, if you see someone bitten on the arm by a poisonous snake and insect that has no cure, it is of course easy for you to tell them to cut off their arm. If it was you who was bitten, could you really raise an axe and slash at your arm without mercy?

What is there to be proud of being calm and wise for people outside the matter, but they can't understand the suffering of people inside.

I finally sighed in my heart, secretly vigilant. In any case, he can't be another Zhuo Ziyun.

Therefore, his voice was surprisingly soft: "Ziyun, don't worry, don't say that the truth analyzed in Fang Hou's letter makes me see the benefits and disadvantages of gains and losses, which is really harmful and useless. ”

Zhuo Lingyun was a little self-deprecating. "Even for it", of course, it is not indispensable. As long as it's "even......

Finally, he looked at Ling Fang: "You haven't said your opinion all along?" ”

Ling Fang lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates have nothing to say. ”

If it could be said, when Du Siyuan came up with a vicious plan and Hu Yanfeng said smug words, it should have been said a long time ago.

However, as a subordinate general who was extremely loyal to Zhuo Lingyun, he couldn't say anything.

Looking at Ling Fang's head that had been hanging down and his back that had been stiff, Zhuo Lingyun was a little distracted. Suddenly smiled and stood up: "That's it! I know the opinion of each and every one of you. Siyuan, General Huyan, you should rest, remember that this matter should not be spread outside. Ziyun, Ling Fang, you accompany me out of the city for a walk and relax. ”

In such a secret meeting, before a decision was made, Zhuo Lingyun was about to throw his hand and walk away, Hu Yanfeng was so anxious that he shouted: "General!" ”

Du Siyuan also said earnestly: "General! Those who achieve great things cannot be restrained, this is also for the sake of the common people in the world......"

Zhuo Lingyun smiled and waved his hand: "Master Du, General Huyan, I have my own decision on this matter, you can rest assured." ”

At this moment, his smile was too calm, and his eyes were too deep, which made Du Siyuan and Hu Yanfeng stunned on the spot, and for a while, no one could persuade again.

By the time they came back to their senses, Zhuo Lingyun had already gone far away from Zhuo Ziyun and Ling Fang.

No whipping, no horseback. It's just that by the horse's temperament, walk slowly. Raising his eyes to look at the gradually silent sky in the distance at dusk, Zhuo Lingyun smiled casually.

This secret room plot is really useless and boring.

What those two people can say and what they will say, he actually knows it in his heart.

Then, it is a little ridiculous to gather them again and listen to them for yourself.

Those who achieve great things are not informal, and they are not informal, and they are not limited to the means, and the husband cannot have the kindness of a woman......

It seems that many heroes and heroes have faced similar torments and choices when they have achieved great causes. Then, around them, there will be such people who persuade and explain, and then the big heroes will endure the pain to do those "uninhibited" things for the sake of lofty goals...... Ha ha. After becoming famous, who will pursue those small details? At most, people blame the persuaders who spoke out in the first place.

Today, he fully understands that people who can become "big heroes" don't need persuasion at all. All they need is a few persuaders.

It's always more comfortable to shirk some responsibilities and get some comfort from exoneration. It is always more convenient to have an excuse that you can deceive yourself at that time and deceive others in the future.

Killing, betrayal, destruction, conspiracy, no matter how unbearable things are, are covered with the banner of "the common people in the world", and it is just as sacred and solemn.

The war horse under the crotch neighed and stopped. Zhuo Lingyun realized that he didn't know when, he clenched the reins of the horse, and it was already painful to hold the palm of his hand. He glared, staring at the last line of bright yellow sunset on the horizon,

He sneered lowly: "Ling Fang, if I finally decide to be ungrateful, will you resent me?!" ”
