Chapter 16 You don't have to choose

In the Zuowuling Festival Envoy's Mansion, Wang Zhele couldn't find the north: "Fang Hou didn't have it."

"Congratulations, congratulations, my army has been saved!" The military advisor next to him said a word, and Wang Zhe's smile stiffened. "Wuling is outnumbered, since the general has already chosen to vote for the strong, now that Fang Hou is in charge, the general does not have to worry about being cast idle and scattered, and seizing power in the air......"

Wang Zhe was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, I want to write to Fang Hou in person to show my sincerity." The pen was full of ink, but the wrist raised could not fall, and in the middle of the day, a drop of ink splashed on the rice paper.

Sighing, pulling over another piece of paper, Wang Zhe almost closed his eyes, and wrote down. Fang Hou, I'm glad you're alive. But when these words are written on paper like this, how can they change their taste. Alas, Fang Hou, if you read this letter, will you believe it, I am really very happy......

"Hahahaha! I knew that Fang Hou would not die! Jiang Lang, the general who commanded a place, was as excited as a child.

"General, judging from Fang Hou's past temperament, I'm afraid that I won't agree with the general's private emperor......"

"Scrap, scrap! I saw that kid was not pleasing to the eye, and he put the emperor on the shelf with me all day long, thinking that his surname was Chu? Scrapped, scrapped! Jiang Lang's eyes lit up: "Prepare for me, I will go to meet Fang Hou immediately." ”

"That's Zhuo Lingyun's territory!"

"It's his Zhuo Lingyun's land that goes, there is Fang Hou here, what does he dare to do to me?" Jiang Lang bared his teeth and smiled proudly: "I have long wanted to vote for someone, but if I vote for him Qinren, we will lose Fang Hou's face." Xiao Yuanfeng has another emperor, and he looks at me unpleasantly in the morning. The most hateful thing is this surnamed Zhuo, who scolds us for rebellion and injustice all day long. Several times he almost came to hit me. Did I recruit him and provoke him? It's good now. Fang Hou came back, I went to his land to meet the old marshal, I said bad things about him in front of Fang Hou in front of him, and sued him for the land, hum! ”

――――――

Inside the study, Fang Qingchen got up and walked out the door, followed by Zhuo Lingyun.

While Zhao Wangchen was writing his homework, he paid attention to the movement here, and saw the two people walking towards the door, and he just breathed a sigh of relief. But he didn't expect Fang Qingchen, who passed by him, to grab the paper in front of him, read it at a glance, and frowned: "I asked you to talk about the general trend of today, and put forward the three strategies of the upper, middle and lower, how to unify Dachu and calm the world." Give the people a peaceful and prosperous world. What are you writing about? ”

Before Zhao Wangchen lowered his head, Zhuo Lingyun sweated first. When Fang Hou used to teach them. I've never had such a grand question!

"Go out and give me a horse step, don't eat at night, and then write the mental method I taught you ten times, if you make a mistake, you look good." Fang Qingchen reprimanded coldly. The poor boy ran out in gray.

Zhuo Lingyun looked at the young man's back sympathetically. This kid didn't offend Fang Hou, right? Fang Hou is here to build him. Or do you just want to fix him? Yesterday it was only a guide. Today, we have to analyze the general trend of the world and make suggestions for the country and the people? While letting people write questions, he also deliberately nagged the overall situation of the world in other people's ears. He is a big child, where does he have the concentration to think and analyze. Fang Hou, you are vicious enough.

Out of the Shuaifu, rode a horse, rode all the way, the market was depressed and cold, the people were thin and numb, and next to Fang Hou walked side by side...... Zhuo Lingyun sweated like rain. Zhao Wangchen's homework was handed over on paper, but his homework was handed over here.

Fang Qingchen didn't say anything, his expression was calm, and he even smiled slightly and comforted him: "I went back to Beijing this way, and I passed through many places, most of which were worse than yours. ”

Zhuo Lingyun's face didn't know whether it should be green or red. Fang Qingchen said again: "Really speaking, you are here to be worse than Qin Xufei." He has just decided after the chaos, although it is not prosperous, in the end, there will be no forced conscription, and the people's homes, I heard that there is also overnight food. ”

Zhuo Lingyun's face was almost the color of vermilion liver: "He doesn't necessarily want to be a forced conscript, but he can't." After all, he is a Qin person, and he can rest assured that tens of thousands of Chu people with swords are in his own army. ”

Fang Qingchen shook his head and smiled: "Qin Xu's enclave is indeed much more difficult than you. He used foreign soldiers to suppress most of our country, and it was inevitable that the people would reject it and the scholars would confront it. But under his rule, there was no great chaos in the territory, and the people lived well. In the final analysis, for the common people, compared to being able to eat and clothe themselves and have no worries about food and clothing, whether the court is orthodox or not, and who the emperor is, is really a trivial matter. ”

Zhuo Lingyun was almost dripping with sweat. Who is the emperor who dares to love, this is a trivial matter. couldn't help but say: "But no matter what, he is a Qin man after all, as long as he makes a slight mistake, the people will be doubly resentful of him." Now that the people in Jiangzhou and Liuzhou are not in turmoil, he will be busy quelling the chaos, and during this time, Fang Hou will gather the heroes of the world and gather strength, and you can fight a decisive battle with him......"

This time it was Fang Qingchen's turn, and his face turned blue.

Qin Xufei, an old opponent, is indeed capable, not only can he fight habitually, but his skills in governing the country are not weaker than others. But he was able to gain a firm foothold in the land of Chu, in the final analysis, it was the subordinates he taught who were too uncompetitive. Southern Chu was so chaotic that the people fled to Northern Chu for refuge, and the Chu people in Northern Chu saw it, and they were still in the mood to rebel against the Qin people? And now, the one who helped him contain Qin Xufei in Northern Chu was the chaotic people, but it was not the rebellion against the chaotic people in Qin Xu's enclave, but the two scum of the Chu State, He Sima and Admiral Su, who were forced to rebel against the chaotic people, how could he not be depressed?

Peasant revolt!

It's not that he doesn't sympathize with the people who have been pushed to the brink and rise up angrily, but Fang Qingchen also knows very well that without a good leader and a sufficiently lofty strategic vision, these bitter men who were extremely poor in the past, after fighting hard, will only continue to loot property and kill frantically to vent their anger. This kind of emotion will spread like a plague, and if it is not controlled, it will be a thousand miles away!

It is better to be a peace dog than a troubled world. This kind of chaos is more terrible than harsh exploitation for the common people.

Fang Qingchen couldn't be happy about this kind of thing. Half of the rivers and mountains of Northern Chu, those people in Jiangzhou and Liuzhou who were once under his guardianship are now looking forward to Qin Xufei, a native of Qin, to rescue them from fire and water.

Fang Qingchen closed his eyes.

He never forgot it. He was close to his subordinates. Those under his command, in order to protect the land behind him, fell to Qin Chu with a smile

of warriors. I can't count them. But he remembered. Everyone remembers it!

Those bones on the bare battlefield, those abandoned heads, and the blood spilled, what is it, what is it!

What will the people of Northern Chu think now? If those heroic spirits were known underground, they would still be able to ...... Laugh out.

At this moment, the two of them had ridden out of the city for a long time. I happened to see smoke and dust rising in the distance, quite the momentum of a large group of men and horses. Fang Qingchen knew that the garrison was in front of him, and his heart felt warm. smiled: "You guys are training." ”

Zhuo Lingyun's old face turned red, and he was about to stop it, but Fang Qingchen was already a whip on his horse: "Let's go and see." ”

Zhuo Lingyun had no choice but to follow hard.

The two of them rode to the road, and they passed all the way unimpeded, and all the levels opened head-on. The soldiers raised their swords one after another and saluted, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at the recruit drill area filled with smoke and dust.

Hehe. Sure enough, it was a "drill", a large group of "soldiers" in tattered clothes and disorganized, holding firewood knives and iron rakes that had been collected from home. A few. Even if there is an extremely shoddy bow and spear that I don't know where it came from, I'm following the veterans and learning the actions of killing people in a nondescript manner.

Several low-ranking generals who were in charge of training the recruits stepped forward to salute. His face was so red that he was almost dripping blood. Yes, these recruits are all wearing family clothes, holding family "weapons", practicing for a period of time, and then they are driven to the battlefield and sent to death. In troubled times, human life is like a mustard. They have no choice but to conform to the vulgar. But in the face of Fang Hou, they can't be ashamed!

However, Fang Qingchen didn't blame anything, only glanced at it lightly, and said simply, "You guys go on." Then he turned his horse and left.

Shame, shame!

The trace of sadness and bitterness in his calm expression was enough to make these generals who could not protect the country and the people on the border, but changed to "train new soldiers" here without food for two days.

On the way back to the city, Fang Qingchen was silent for a long time before he sighed deeply: "Lingyun, I'm not an immortal. Such an army may have a chance to fight Xiao Yuanfeng, but it will definitely not be able to win against Qin Xufei. ”

Zhuo Lingyun gritted his teeth and said: "Therefore, we must take advantage of Qin Xufei's current lack of skills to gather the forces of all parties as soon as possible, so that we can streamline the army and concentrate all our strength to ......fight against it."

"Whether Qin Xufei lacks skills is still a problem. If he wants to deal with us as soon as possible, he can make an agreement with those rebellious people, and he can temporarily buy off those peasants who have no long-term strategy and only see immediate benefits......"

Fang Qingchen's words were still unfinished, but he saw a horse flying in front of him: "Fang Hou, general, good news......"

Before Ling Fangren arrived, the shouting was already earth-shattering. When he got closer, before he finished the salute, he was already excited: "The Shuaifu has just received a handwritten letter from Wang Zhe, the envoy of the Wuling Festival, and He Fanghou has returned, and General Jianglang of Jianzhou Langlin also sent someone to deliver the message, saying that he wants to meet Fang Hou in person. Fang Hou ......, "He was so happy that he didn't know what to say for a while."

Zhuo Lingyun was also overjoyed: "Fang Hou's return to the world is indeed what everyone expects, after these two people have made a statement, even if the other forces have a wait-and-see heart, they should know how to advance and retreat." ”

"Other forces ......" Fang Qingchen smiled slightly: "The most important thing is to see how Yuan Feng chooses." ”

Ling Fang frowned: "Originally, he had been assembling an army to prepare for a battle with me, but since the news of Fang Hou's return came out, this army has stopped gathering, but there is no sign of disbanding and returning, this person's mind is ......"

Zhuo Lingyun compared his heart to his heart, knowing the contradiction, and smiled bitterly: "He is probably similar to me." It's just that he has one more crime than me for setting up an emperor, if he recognizes the status of Fang Houdi, then ...... Hmph, though, he didn't have any other choice in the end. ”

"This time, I'm not going to let him choose." Fang Qingchen's smile was calm.

Ling Fang and Zhuo Lingyun were stunned and looked at him in amazement.

"Isn't Yuanfeng's sister still sitting here with us? Now that I'm the host, it's time to pay a visit. Since leaving Xiaolou, Fang Qingchen smiled heartily for the first time: "Lingyun, do you want to accompany me to see your future brother and daughter-in-law?" ”

This time, he won't let anyone choose again!

The choice is too difficult, too painful, too painful.

One Zhuo Lingyun is enough! It's enough to push one Zhuo Lingyun to the end!

Since Zhuo Lingyun knelt down, he was no longer the Fang Qingchen who came and went freely.

This time, Yuanfeng, you don't have to choose!
