451 Difficulties
Seeing that the assassin was about to be surrounded by heavy soldiers and stabbed into a sieve, he actually shouted 'mother, cousin' at the critical moment, which shocked the audience, which is really contrary to common sense, generally in this situation, either shouting XXX long live, or shouting down XXX, or being a good man after eighteen years, and he remembered the female relatives at home at this critical moment......
Liu Li Wa saw this man, well, it is more accurate to say that the boy, fifteen or sixteen years old, square head and big face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a military uniform, heroic spirit, although surrounded by heavily loaded guards, but did not reduce his fear at all, a pair of tiger eyes stared at Wu Liniang and the eldest aunt.
Recognizing this person, Wu Liniang immediately waved back the guards, and the boy rushed over in one step, pulled the eldest aunt directly from Wu Liniang's hand, and said excitedly: "Mother, you are really here." Didn't my father say that he wouldn't let you come to beg his cousin, he would rather die than go to Dongning, and he didn't want to cause trouble to his cousin. Didn't we all say that we would live and die! ”
The young man held his mother's hand tightly, determined to die, and directly said that his aunt and cousin cried, this is the son of the eldest aunt, the only child, who grew up in the military camp since he was a child, and has developed a strong and unyielding character.
Wu Liniang stepped forward, separated their mother and son, hid the eldest aunt behind her, and said, "Erlang, what are you doing, but you must not have the idea of suicide, everything is easy to discuss." ”
"Hey, what else is there to discuss." The young man sighed heavily, glanced at Wu Liniang, and his eyes were full of despair: "Cousin, I know you care about us, but this matter has developed unstoppably now, Dongning's spies have reported that the villages along the coast of Dongning have begun to evacuate, the relocation and sea ban are being implemented, a large number of sand and gravel are being transported to the seaside, they are really ready to reclaim the sea, and all this can only be resolved if my father personally goes to Dongning to take the blame, unless we Nanchuan now gather an army and fight with Dongning, cousin, do you think it is possible?" ”
Absolutely not. If Nanchuan was ready for battle, Ximen Jian would not have fallen out with the imperial court, and went directly to Dongning to start a war, Wu Liniang had just returned from Dongning, responsible for general intelligence collection, and knew the current situation in Dongning better than anyone else, just looking at Wen Jun's battalion of soldiers and horses, it is not difficult to see Dongning's combat power, only in the infantry, complete configuration, and strong combat power, and Nanchuan, even if it can take advantage of the sea, can land in Dongning through the coastline, but once it goes deep inland, it will fall into a quagmire and cannot get out, and can only wait for Dongning's infantry to be annihilated.
This rhetorical question of the cousin made Wu Liniang extinguish the fire, seeing that she was about to become the empress, and her cousin who was enough to cover the sky with one hand was speechless, the disappointment on Erlang's face was even stronger, he pulled up the eldest aunt again, and said: "Mother, let me go back, my father is now accompanied by wine every day, drunk and dreaming of death, I am really worried that he will go first, let's go back quickly and accompany my father, and then our whole family will go on the road together." ”
The eldest aunt looked at her son in a daze, for a long time, sighed helplessly, two tears flowed down her cheeks, she originally thought that at least she had to protect the only son, but at this time, her son was also determined to die, it seems that this catastrophe, their whole family can't avoid it.
"No, Erlang, don't worry." Wu Liniang rushed to the door in one step, blocked the door with her body, her eyes were red, and she said anxiously: "Don't worry, don't worry, there will definitely be a way." The reason why Dongning is like this is because the new emperor ascended the throne, showed his skills and feet, made some reforms, and achieved certain results, at least succeeded in winning the hearts of the people and won the support of the people of Dongning. They deliberately provoked, and then made things bigger, and the fatal example asked your father to take the blame, not just to humiliate your father, but also to demonstrate to us Nanchuan, telling us that Dongning is now strong, not afraid of any enemy, but also to warn us, not to attack the coast of Dongning again, but the reason why they are so noisy is to verify whether the people along the coast of Dongning really support them, and second, they want to scare us, so that we dare not start a war easily, in fact, Dongning does not want to go to war, but is just testing our bottom line. ”
At a critical juncture, Wu Liniang can still be so calm, and has analyzed the current situation from many aspects, she does have extraordinary wisdom and unique vision, and it seems that she deserves to be chosen as the empress.
After listening to her analysis, Erlang and the eldest aunt also calmed down, in order to completely stabilize them, Wu Liniang hurriedly said: "If you want to resolve the current crisis, there must be other ways, Dongning is just a deterrent to us, as long as we take the initiative to release a signal of peace to the other party, let them know that we do not want to go to war, and we can even sign a peaceful, friendly, and non-aggression treaty with them, and by the way, we will offer some gold, silver, jewelry, beauty specialties and the like to show our sincerity, I believe it will be completely resolved." ”
The eldest aunt and cousin nodded one after another, feeling that what Wu Liniang said made sense, and now the Nanchuan Imperial Court should also mean this, if Wu Liniang proposes to take this matter seriously, maybe it can really be resolved.
Just doing this, it is tantamount to showing weakness, in the treatment of Dongning, Nanchuan is a strong, often set up warships to harass the coastal areas of the other side, plundering materials, countless women, used to be the biggest pride of Nanchuan, now, Ximen Sword said to take advantage of the victory to pursue, one time to destroy Dongning, the court is unwilling, but also for treason to depose the Ximen sword, now Dongning in turn provoked, insulting Nanchuan, but Nanchuan to swallow his anger, but also to pay tribute and seek peace, compromise and seek perfection.
If this is really going to be done, what will the main battle faction in the imperial court think, and what will the Nanchuan soldiers who have just been pacified think, they have always been very obedient, thinking that the people of Nanchuan who were born in a strong country and are safe and secure know that the imperial court is going to Dongning to seek perfection, what will the people think?
Things are not as simple as Wu Liniang said, but in order to stabilize the mother and daughter who were emotional and wanted to go back to commit suicide, she could only say this, but the mother and daughter were not fools, for them, now is the moment of life and death, and the possibility of saving their lives is more thoughtful than Wu Liniang, and naturally they also thought of the way to show weakness and make peace with the court, and they also knew how serious the consequences would be if this method would be. The imperial court may not agree, and is more willing to sacrifice the eldest uncle in comparison.
The eldest aunt muttered with a solemn expression: "This kind of compromised method will definitely not be answered by the imperial court, if you want to save your father, unless you find someone who Dongning hates even more, send him to Dongning, and replace your father." ”
"My father is a general of Rongbian, and when he was in close contact with Dongning, when he fought fiercely, he once annihilated a 10,000-strong team in Dongning, and this kind of deep hatred and hatred is probably not something that ordinary people can replace." The cousin said helplessly, but his tone still revealed his reverence for his father.
At the same time, these words also deeply pierced Wu Liniang's heart, yes, the eldest aunt is a meritorious man of Nanchuan, all his military exploits and injuries are for Nanchuan, Rongbian has no regrets for many years, and now he decisively gave up such a meritorious man just because of Dongning's provocation, which makes other heroes in Nanchuan think of Nanchuan, and who else will serve Nanchuan in the future?
