Chapter 41 Obstinate Will

Constantly worried, Fang Qingchen stepped out of the military tent, but he looked up to the sky and smiled. When he is really angry, he will not ignore the subtle changes in his qi when someone is exercising. It seems that Qin Xufei gritted his teeth and did not relax, in addition to that bunch of interest scruples, there was really another hidden secret......

Fang Qingchen frowned. Could it be that something happened to Ruohong? After a moment's thought, he shook his head. Maybe it's not a hidden secret, it's just some more intelligent but purely self-inflicted suspicions. In any case, it is extremely difficult for Liu Heng to survive to this point in his anger, but he is really a man. He used such a strong momentum to force down, but that guy could stand up, damn, if he stood up, he would become a strong corpse. You can't really kill him.

In a matter of moments, seven or eight thoughts had already turned in Fang Qingchen's mind. What to do? It was not true that he caught Liu Heng by the river to perform Ling Chi's big play, even if he didn't care about ruining the reputation of a great hero and a good man that he had built up over the years, he had to take care of Qin Xiaozi being overstimulated, and turned around to find Chu Ruohong's original trick and copy it on him once.

Drag that donkey here, and then spread rumors that Ruohong is dead, forcing the people who stayed in Chudu to put Ruohong out for everyone to see, and then take the opportunity to hijack? The thought flashed through him, and he immediately dispelled it. Cursing Chu Ruohong's death made him uncomfortable, but more importantly, Zhuo Lingyun's spies were obviously not elite enough, even if they could successfully hijack him, it would be too difficult to escape with the crazy and demented Chu Ruohong for thousands of miles without revealing his whereabouts.

Why don't you just find a stand-in who looks like Ruohong, and then spread the word that Ruohong has escaped, so let him pretend to be Ruohong publicly? Anyway, Ruohong is crazy, and it is normal to wake up and remember a lot of past events clearly. It is inevitable that the body will be emaciated. It makes sense that you can't see many people if you want to recuperate...... As long as there is the approval of him, the first loyal minister, everyone knows that the stand-in is fake, and they will also refer to the deer as a horse, saying that he is true. This can not only boost morale, but also the value of Ruohong in the hands of Qin Jun has been greatly reduced, and it will be much easier to rescue him and replace him.

It's just that...... If he is no longer so valuable, will the Qin people take care of him seriously and protect his peace as always?

Fang Qingchen was upset for a while. Rat-thrower, that's it. My heart was already unhappy, and my sensitive ears also caught a sound of Si Xi Suosuo, and I was even more annoyed. Said angrily: "Come out." What to hide? ”

Ling Fang and Zhao Wangchen obediently walked out from behind the military tent next to them and stood in front of him honestly.

Fang Qingchen glanced at them: "Do you know what you did wrong?" ”

Ling Fang said very honestly: "I know, we shouldn't eavesdrop on Fang Hou's words. ”

Zhao Wuchen thought for a moment, and after a while, he said, "We shouldn't have thought of eavesdropping on Fang Hou's words, but we don't have the ability to hide our whereabouts." ”

Fang Qingchen didn't comment, only asked lightly: "You have all heard what Liu Heng and I said." If you have anything to say, just say it. ”

Zhao Wangchen lowered his head and remained silent.

Ling Fang's foolish loyalty to the other party is indeed a little slanderous, but this kind of words. It's hard to say. After being bored for a long time, he only said one sentence: "Fang Hou's heart to abolish the emperor is known to everyone in heaven." Fang Hou has already reached such a point, but the Qin army still refuses to let go, that is the Qin people are ruthless. Fang Hou had done his best. You can be ashamed. ”

"I know none of you approve of this, but I'm going to get him back. No matter what the cost, no matter what the means. I will definitely not let him fall into the hands of the Qin people all the time and ignore it. You can't persuade you in this matter, Lingyun Yuanfeng is here, and I don't give face either. In the future, don't waste your tongue on this matter anymore. ”

When Fang Qingchen spoke, his tone was extremely calm. However, that kind of unshakable firmness and the intention of revealing his mind were so obvious that Ling Fang looked up at him in amazement, and even Zhao Wangchen's expression was quite surprised. Others worship Fang Qingchen as a god, as a disciple, he is the closest to Fang Qingchen, but he believes that this person seems to be benevolent, but in fact he is extreme, he seems to treat everyone well, but in fact, he is equally alienated from everyone. So, what reason would make him so obsessed with saving a monarch who has lost him the most?

Fang Qingchen didn't look at the stunned expressions of the two, and walked away.

No one understands him and his affairs. Even if it's a companion in a small building, I don't understand. He is extreme and willful, and when he is in love, he can't bear a hundred times revenge. But he still couldn't allow others to bully that person. He could drive the man crazy, but now, he still wanted to keep the man under his wing.

He couldn't wait for three years and five years, one battle after another. He has no patience, no forbearance, not enough calmness and calmness, when he knows that the person has been crazy and no one really cares for him, he can still sit thousands of miles away and arrange troops with peace of mind.

This time, he had to get the man back to him. Unscrupulous means, no objections, no rejection! In any case, he will see him, and he will protect him. He's going to ...... Heal him!

While walking and thinking, the scope of his plan quickly expanded to the surrounding countries of Chu, peeling back the cocoon, and speculating carelessly which line could be influenced

Choice of Place......

――――――――――――――――――――

Time passed day by day, and the follow-up troops also arrived in batches. Most of Liuzhou south of the Huaijiang River was completely controlled by Fang Qingchen. Appeasing the people's livelihood, taking over the captives, establishing the new land administration, everything is going on in an orderly manner.

In this battle of Liuzhou, most of the troops he took away were Zhuo Lingyun's generals, so it was Xiao Yuanfeng's brigade who was responsible for the follow-up. In addition, Wang Zhe, the envoy of the Wuling Festival, Jiang Lang, the general of Jianzhou Langlin, these little princes who had been generals under Fang Qingchen's tent back then, also came with the team.

When these people came, Fang Qingchen didn't let them go. After arranging for the civil and military generals to take over Liuzhou, Fang Qingchen also flew pigeons to pass the book, and quickly passed the news, so that all the southern princes who had surrendered to him should arrange things as soon as possible.

At this moment, across the Huai River, the overall situation of Southern Chu has been decided. is still forced, nine times out of ten, they have all been under Fang Qingchen's account. However. It seems that God is not beautiful. This time, Fang Qingchen summoned them to a meeting, and many messengers, because of the heavy rain, the horse was sick, the coil was lost, and the way was lost...... and so on for inexplicable reasons to delay a lot of time.

Seeing the letter, everyone was surprised, reading the military newspaper that there was no urgent war, Qin Xufei came to throw a mouse bogey, and secondly, he couldn't raise a large number of warships to cross the river in a short time. What can't wait to wait for the rear to discuss calmly, and even summon everyone to the edge of the Huai River like this, looking at the Qin people's camp for a meeting? However, these letters were delayed on the way, and they were hurried, day and night. In the end, I couldn't make it.

Only Zhuo Lingyun and a few others who had a deep old friendship with Fang Qingchen surrendered to the candidates, and within a few days. They all rushed to the Huaijiang River smoothly. Seeing that almost all the people who should have come have arrived, Fang Qingchen took them to visit the Qin people's camp tent and morning exercise across the river early in the morning, and after making sure that everyone had a deep impression of the Qin people's toughness, he entered the tent for a meeting.

Zhao Wangchen and Ling Fang were responsible for guarding the tent, and not even a fly was allowed to fly within ten feet of the Chinese army's tent. This frame. Everyone knows that there is a very serious matter to be discussed.

As soon as Fang Qingchen opened his mouth, he went straight in: "After I saved Liu Heng." Without discussing with everyone, he wrote a letter to Qin Xufei, willing to exchange the Qin army led by Liu Heng for the deposed emperor who had been crazy for a long time. But Qin Xufei refused. He glanced at everyone and asked, "What do you think?" ”

After a moment of silence, Zhuo Lingyun said: "Even if Qin Xufei is so disregarding love and will live and die, we don't have to be polite to them anymore." Liu Heng is a general, and he will never surrender, so it is better to directly behead the sacrificial flag by the Huai River to comfort the countless soldiers who died in Dachu. ”

Wang Zhe patted the case and said: "The Qin people are so ignorant, we can't let them think that we are easy to bully, we will prepare for war!" ”

Fang Qingchen smiled: "Don't you have anything to say about the matter of returning the abolished emperor without asking your opinions?" ”

Everyone quickly shut up, looked at the nose, nose and mouth, and asked the heart. Of course, there are a lot of things I want to say, but I can't say them. Anyway, the person didn't change back, of course, it's better to have more than one thing.

Fang Qingchen stared at Xiao Yuanfeng: "Yuanfeng, they have nothing to say, don't you either?" ”

Xiao Yuanfeng was silent for a while before shaking his head: "It is Fang Hou's intention to change back to the abolished emperor, I can't say anything more." The Qin people have already refused, and I don't have to say anything more. ”

Fang Qingchen let out a long sigh: "I know about this matter, you don't support or agree with it, but do you really think it's appropriate for our former emperor to fall into the hands of the Qin people all the time?" ”

The crowd will be silent. For these generals, think about it, getting the abolished emperor back, and then causing the instability of the army's morale, how can the gains outweigh the losses.

Fang Qingchen stood up and calmly glanced at everyone: "I can't bear that Your Majesty has been in the hands of the Qin people. Saving him back can make the Qin people lose their last name and righteousness, and also allow the Chu State to earn back the dignity that it has lost over the years. But the most important thing is to have all my heart. The friendship between me and Your Majesty is extraordinary, and if I want to be alone in half of the mountains and rivers, I can only sit back and watch Your Majesty become a prisoner of the ranks, how can I really be embarrassed? Whether it is good or bad, whether it is love or righteousness, I only hope that you will understand me. ”

He solemnly said in a loud voice: "I swear to heaven that I want to save Your Majesty, for the sake of our own righteousness, tear open the last layer of talisman of the Qin people, and never help him to regain his heart!" That is, one day, the abolition of the emperor will be cured of madness, and the heavenly position has been determined, and he would rather have it. As long as there is no great loss of morality today, I will never dare to do anything to abolish the establishment, that is, there is a loss of morality and misconduct of the country today, and the direct bloodline of the royal family surnamed Chu is still endless, so I should choose among them and help them! If I violate my oath today, he will pierce his heart with ten thousand arrows and leave a history book that will be infamous for all eternity. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the tent stood up in fright. With his identity and his relationship with everyone, he was forced to swear an oath to assure that the situation was already extremely serious, not to mention that his oath was so vicious. In this era, the oath is made by everyone. Breaking one's word and getting fat, that's in

generation, it will be considered indifferent.

Xiao Yuanfeng was especially frightened, if it wasn't for his peace of mind, Fang Qingchen didn't need to do this at all. As the commander-in-chief and the old teacher, he was forced to swear a promise to his subordinate apprentices, which can be regarded as humiliating and embarrassing. Xiao Yuanfeng sweated out, and hurriedly walked out of his seat and took a few steps: "Yuanfeng is selfish, and he will never dare to ignore Tianlun Avenue and ignore Fang Hou's earnest loyalty." Fang Hou doesn't need to be so ......"

Fang Qingchen smiled and shook his head at him: "Yuanfeng, you don't live up to me, and I will never fail you in this life." It's just that I can't live up to Your Majesty anymore...... Your Majesty, he has a misdemeanor. These years have been crazy. Heartbroken, it's enough. He is the king of a country, and he has fallen to this point, which is the worst in the world, I know it when I hear it, how can I not save ......"

His words were very sincere, emotional, and his eyes were full of grief.

The generals in the tent were touched, and when it came to this, they forced him to swear a poisonous oath. Listening to him say the word life up so sincerely, who knows that he is a human being, who can still let go of his heart, even if he can't let go of a little bit, who can bear to express his dissatisfaction again.

Xiao Yuanfeng didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and bowed deeply: "Fang Hou lives up to Yuanfeng." How dare Yuan Feng doubt Fang Hou and abolish the emperor. Regardless of Fang Hou's decision, Yuanfeng's old belonging, if someone dares to criticize a word, Yuanfeng will thank Fang Hou with his head. ”

Fang Qingchen smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Although there is nothing on the lips. But there was relief, encouragement, and gratitude in his eyes...... It was vividly expressed.

Zhuo Lingyun is not as involved in vital interests as Xiao Yuanfeng. So I didn't really dwell on whether this matter should be or not, but I just asked directly: "Now that Qin Xufei has clearly refused, how is Fang Hou going to continue to rescue the Abolished Emperor?" ”

After all, the spies who inquired about the news were all released in his hands, and where Chu Ruohong was hidden, there was really no rumor at all. I can't find a place to rescue, and I can't coerce Qin Xufei to give in with an overwhelming advantage in a short period of time, what should I do?

Fang Qingchen smiled and asked, "Do you think in the current situation, who will win in the end, between us and the Qin people?" ”

Everyone didn't expect Fang Qingchen to suddenly change the topic, and exchanged a few glances with a little puzzlement, Wang Zhecai smiled: "Since Fang Hou is here, naturally we win." ”

Jiang Lang deliberately echoed loudly: "Yes! Since Qin Xufei doesn't know what to do, let's fight him and hand over the abolished emperor! Fang Hou, you say, when are we going to do it? ”

Fang Qingchen was angry and funny. "Our army has not yet been integrated, and it is not appropriate to immediately start a large-scale killing."

This is purely to save face for the powerful people in the world present, and the implication is that the land in the south is so poor that you have scraped three feet lower, and eight out of ten soldiers are holding hoes and shovels, and before the situation improves, no one can expect me to take this kind of team to fight Qin Xufei's 200,000 elite soldiers. However, after these civil wars, everyone's faces have increased in their thickness and blackness, and most of them can nod their heads calmly at this time: "Yes, yes, all military horses really need to be integrated." ”

"However, the combat power of the elite division in everyone's hands is indeed extremely strong, although I don't dare to expand northward rashly, but as long as I fight steadily and stick to resist the enemy, Qin Xufei can't help me. After three years and five years, the vitality of the south has recovered, and when I fight against the Qin army, I feel that I have a seventy percent chance of winning. It's just ......" Fang Qingchen sighed deeply, his expression was very sad: "Can our Chu State still withstand five years of war?" ”

Zhuo Lingyun's face was feverish: "It is a foregone conclusion that the entire southern territory will be unified in the hands of Fang Hou, and once the war is over, the benevolent government will be ......."

Fang Qingchen smiled slightly: "Renzheng? How can our enemies sit idly by and watch us recuperate? ”

The crowd was silent. After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yuanfeng gritted his teeth and said: "It's not that we want to fight, now it's the Qin people who occupy our land." If you don't kick them out, no one will want to live a good life again. If Da Chu wants to reunify, this pain is necessary. ”

"So, what happens after you kick people out?" Fang Qingchen asked calmly: "The Qin people have no way to retreat at all, and under the cauldron and the shipwreck, they will inevitably fight to the death with us to the end." At that time, the Qin army was driven out, and our army would inevitably be greatly injured. Fang Qingchen stretched out his hand and pointed out the outside of the tent: "There are five thousand people here, they are the most elite soldiers in our south, if they have a full-scale battle with Qin Xufei, after five years, how many of them will be left?" ”

The crowd was silent again. The Qin army is strong and good at fighting, and everyone knows it.

Seeing that everyone had begun to hesitate, Fang Qingchen added the heaviest sentence unhurriedly: "Don't forget, in this world, there is not only the Chu State. ”
