Chapter 18 Burned

Sun Yi still remembers a question he asked when Dongfang Sheng talked to him at the beginning: "The marshal may be good at military strategy but not good at politics, and he doesn't know the truth that the birds are good at hiding the bow, and the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackeys are cooking." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but as the marshal's most trusted advisor, Mr. Dongfang has no last resort, how can he not know this truth. With the merits of the marshal for Chu Xia, the territory he has beaten has long exceeded the scope of the meritorious master. Did the marshal not think of self-reliance before he cut off his own army of 200,000? As far as I know, the hard power of the military horses in the marshal's hands at that time was already superior to that of Chu Xia. ”

Dongfang Sheng faced this question and did not answer it directly, but told him the answer in the way of recollection. He said that before the marshal decided to disarm, when his closest brother, Shen Fengli, who was self-made with him, persuaded Luo Chuliang to rebel, he also asked the same question as the chief mastermind, and he asked it more directly.

At that time he asked: "Has the marshal ever thought of rebellion?"

"I've thought about it!" Luo Chuliang replied very directly, facing the think tank that had worked hard with him all the way, without the slightest hesitation, he said this answer very calmly, and then said: "I didn't just think about it, I thought about it very far, I thought of the result of my rebellion, there are wins and losses, but whether you lose or win, it is not a good result." Others may not understand, but Mr. will definitely be able to understand. ”

Dongfang Sheng did understand.

Being able to subvert the invincible Liang Jin, pull Chu Xia out of the predicament of being in a corner of the country, and lay down more than ten times the territory, Luo Chuliang does occupy the decisive key, but behind Luo Chuliang there is a hero who is Chu Mengxiong, the emperor of Chu Xia at that time. Chu Mengxiong just doesn't know anything about military affairs, but it doesn't hinder his own eloquence and strategy, he uses virtuous ministers internally and famous marshals externally, no suspicion or suspicion, strict self-discipline, leniency and hard work, so that all the people return to their hearts. Luo Chuliang can show his talent on the front line unscrupulously, and has a close relationship with a Ming Jun like Chu Mengxiong.

Luo Chuliang's ability to command the army is incomparable, with hundreds of generals under his command and an army of 300,000 descendants is his hard power, but Chu Mengxiong has the support of good ministers and has his soft power.

Hard power is not afraid of soft power, but soft power is not necessarily inferior to hard power.

If you really want to fight, the most victory or defeat is (six) four open. The hard power in Luo Chuliang's hands is more than one percent possible.

Defeated, the Luo family perished, naturally needless to say, there is no need to mention. What can Luo Chuliang get by winning? It's not as simple as the world......

Luo Chuliang has a large army in his hands, but there is no military food and military salary, once he rebels, the first thing he can do is to rely on looting to maintain military food and military salary. At that time, Chu Mengxiong's benevolence and Luo Chuliang's "brutality" will be in stark contrast, and the people's will will completely collapse. Even if Luo Chuliang finally eliminated Chu Mengxiong and the rebellion was successful, it would only trigger more careerists with ulterior motives to rebel, and at the same time, the two countries of Western Qin and Mengyuan would also take advantage of the opportunity to enter.

How long can Luo Chuliang hold on to a country that is dilapidated and the people's hearts are backs?

People who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries!

Luo Chuliang is not only holding the lives of 300,000 soldiers in his hands, but also whether thousands of people are in misery or not.

After this rebellion, whether it is victory or defeat, the Luo family, his Luo Chuliang and the 300,000 army under his command will not have a good result.

Luo Chuliang was not a hero from the beginning, let alone a careerist, but he just climbed to the pinnacle of power, and he couldn't help himself.

In that case, why the opposite!

Luo Chuliang's answer is very clear and simple, he has thought about rebellion, and he thinks more thoroughly than anyone else. It was precisely because he thought about rebellion that he did not rebel.

It's not just Luo Chuliang who is thinking about this, Chu Mengxiong is also thinking about this. How to settle the Luo family is the most headache for him since he became the emperor: he can't treat the Luo family badly, and he can't keep the Luo family by his side, after all, he himself may be able to restrain Luo Chuliang, how can his son restrain him?

After various in-depth considerations on both sides, they finally chose a path that was acceptable to each other.

The Luo family disarmed 200,000 people, entered the north for Chu Xia to guard the northern frontier, and Chu Mengxiong gave the Luo family the power of the north to be independent, and at the same time gave the minister of Tuogu an instruction before his death: If the new monarch does not make any changes in the north plains, any attempt to disturb the king of the north plains, the minister can abolish the establishment and choose a new king......

In this way, it is not surprising that Beiyuan and Chu Xia can be safed for a hundred years, and as for what will happen after a hundred years, they will have the blessings of their descendants, and this is the only thing they can do.

Dongfang Sheng's answer was so clear, Sun Yi could be sure that Luo Chuliang had no objection at that time.

Since he had no objection, it was impossible for him to prepare these gold, silver, treasure, armor and equipment in advance, and since it wasn't him, the Soul Devouring Flower in the flower room would naturally not be him.

As for why these things appeared under the ground of Luofu, Sun Yi could only think of one answer: planting blame!

It's just that there was no success in marrying the blame back then, and this weapon and armor rotted in a place where no one cared about it.

As for the Soul Eater Flower, it should have been planted later.

The Luo family settled in Beiyuan more than ten years ago, and the Luo Mansion in the capital was almost empty all the year round. If it weren't for the presence of a talking and rational Golden Lion King like Xiao Jin, it would be impossible for him to find that there was a cave under the ground of this Luo Mansion.

"Come, let's move!" Sun Yi understood this reason, his mind was settled, he shouted at Xiao Jin, took the armor in his hand, tore off the cloth shirt on the inside of the armor, and said to Xiao Jin: "You go and turn out the bows, arrows, spears, and other wooden weapons in the other warehouse." ”

Xiao Jin was stunned and said, "Big brother, are you going to investigate?"

Sun Yi gritted his teeth, shook his head and said, "I want to check, but I can't." Since the other party is a remnant of the Xianmen, his strength must not be underestimated. With you and me now, if you look into it, you will only die. Did you notice, the entrance to the place we came from has been sealed for a long time, and apparently no one has used it for a long time. The traces of our visit cannot be concealed, and if they were careful, they would probably notice that I am not in the habit of leaving victory or defeat to luck. If they find out that it is equivalent to giving them time to operate, it is better to take this opportunity now and burn all these harmful things. Without the Soul Eater Flower, even if they wanted something bad, they would need to re-prepare, and we had bought time. ”

Xiao Jin glanced at Sun Yi deeply, it is not easy to be so rational and thoughtful in this situation. Immediately, without saying a word, he ran to the cave next door.

Sun Yi tore off the flammable fabrics, twisted the arrows and spears into flammable small wooden sticks, and piled them into a large firewood pile, and then pulled up all the Soul Eater flowers one by one, twisted them in two and threw them on the firewood pile, making sure that nothing was left for them.

Eventually, it gathered into a fire and set the Soul Eater Wood on fire......

A raging flame, burning instantly.

Halfway through the burn, Xiao Jin suddenly exclaimed, "Someone is coming!"
