Chapter 37: Drifting with the Flow———— Sacrifices and Trade-offs
"Lord, you said Wu Jinfan is a good general?"
This is what surprised Xu He a little.
"At the beginning, Qi Fengyi took the Black Armor Army out on the expedition, killing the enemy's corpses all over the field, and the blood on the battlefield stained the land red, and Wu Jinfan at that time was just a captain in the Black Armor Army."
After Li Yuan heard Xu He's question, his face changed slightly.
Li Yuan really doesn't know these secrets better than the people in the rivers and lakes.
After a long time, Xu Hecai said in a low voice: "The Black Armor Army led by Qi Fengyi is known as the first elite in the world, and each of their soldiers has blood on their hands. ”
"Wu Jinfan has gone from a military commander to the current general of the Zhenguo, how many innocent people's blood is on Wu Jinfan's hands?"
"Not only that, but now Wu Jinfan has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, once Wu Jinfan wants to seize the throne of the Son of Heaven, I don't know how many loyal ministers and martyrs will be slaughtered."
"This is Wu Jinfan's sin!"
"Such a person, is he worthy of being the general of Daxu?"
Xu He said angrily.
Li Yuan was silent, Li Yuan didn't expect Xu He to raise this question.
I couldn't help but start thinking carefully about Xu He's words. After a long time, Li Yuan said slowly: "Xu Daxia, according to what you see, how should Wu Jinfan be treated?" ”
Xu He said: "Lord, we need to stop Wu Jinfan, otherwise the people of the world will never have peace." ”
"According to what I see, Wu Jinfan's wolf ambition will be reversed sooner or later, rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to strike first."
What Xu He said was a bit winding, and Li Yuan didn't understand it too much, isn't this just a rumor?
How can it still be said as it really is???
Stating that the Great Strategists have gone to help me complete side quest 1, Yang Hui's revenge plot has gone.
Yang Hui's revenge conspiracy———— isn't this a rumor?
"Brother System, did you say?"
System: "Uh... The host has finally grown its brain, and the system is so relieved. Woo woo woo~~"
Li Yuan: "Praise me directly next time, thank you." ”
System: "G, U, N, get out!" ”
Li Yuan's heart also has confidence, but someone doesn't have a system?
I'm afraid that this Xu He doesn't think well of Wu Jinfan.
Li Yuan was a little depressed when he got Xu He's conclusion, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Hehehe, this matter, in fact, ....... It's a long story. ”
"But if Xu Daxia really wants to eliminate harm for the people, he might as well return to Kyoto with me first."
Li Yuan looked at Xu He after speaking.
Xu He hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed: "Okay! ”
"Hmmm! In that case, let's set off at dawn. ”
"Wait a minute."
"Anything else?"
Li Yuan asked.
Xu He shook his head and said, "A few of my subordinates have come out with me, and they may catch up soon." ”
"Oh, that's right."
"Okay, Xu Daxia just commands."
Li Yuan said, the main one is the more the merrier.
"These subordinate friends are all masters, and I hope that the lord will allow them to accompany the guard."
Xu He whispered.
After all, several of Li Yuan's guards were skinny and haggard, no matter how they looked at it, it looked like they hadn't eaten for many days, if it weren't for Xu He's modesty, such a guard Xu He guaranteed that one could fight ten.
Ahem......
Li Yuan naturally wouldn't mind Xu He saying this.
In this case, Xu Daxia said that he laughed, and he was fine. Permission, permission, hahahaha. ”
Xu He nodded in response: "That's very good!" ”
Early the next morning.
The group set off and left the stone house.
"Xu Daxia, have those friends you mentioned already chased after you?"
Li Yuan asked.
"Uh... Lord, they should already be on their way. ”
Li Yuan: "That's good, that's good!" ”
"Don't worry, your subordinates have made arrangements."
Li Yuan and his party rode away and rushed towards the capital.
At this time, Xu He had already joined several of his brothers, a total of eight horses, galloping on the official road.
Li Yuan and Zhu Gonggong walked at the front of the line.
Li Yuan looked at the surrounding scene and sighed: "It is worthy of the great rivers and mountains of Daxu, this scenery is really amazing!" ”
"Childe, Xu He is back?"
Gonggong Zhu had already observed the figure on the official road, it was Xu He and others.
"Well, they're catching up."
Li Yuan nodded and said.
Li Yuan also kept his eyes on the official road ahead.
......
"Xu Daxia, look."
"Is the car in front of you the car the king of Jiangnan?"
The bearded man asked.
Xu He followed the gaze of the big man, and sure enough, it was the car of the lord Li Yuan.
"You can't be wrong."
Xu He said.
Xu He's eyes were sharp, and he saw a gorgeous and extravagant carriage approaching from a distance.
Xu He's eyes were fixed on the carriage.
"Xu Daxia, let's not get close, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."
Another young man reminded.
Several heroes obviously didn't know that their Xu Daxia had become Li Yuan's subordinate.
"Don't worry, it's my father-in-law's car."
Xu He said lightly, several people were shocked!
"What?"
Several heroes shouted in shock.
Xu He looked at the shocked heroes, and snorted coldly in his heart, a group of fools!
"Xu has already worked for Li Yuan, the king of Jiangnan! If you can afford to look up to Xu, you can follow me to see the lord. ”
The bearded man was the first to speak.
"Hahaha, wow, I do!"
"Xu Daxia despises me and waits, whoever Xu Daxia plays for, I will play for!"
Xu He said, "Wait a while, I'll inform the lord." ”
Xu He jumped off the horse and ran towards the frame at a high speed.
Li Yuan watched Xu He rush towards him, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Could it be that Xu He is in some danger?
Li Yuan just wanted to open his mouth to ask, but he only heard a familiar footstep coming.
"Lord!"
Xu He bowed respectfully to Li Yuan.
"Get up!"
Li Yuan waved his hand, and then looked at Xu He.
Xu He stood up, Gonggong Zhu looked at Xu He and said, "Xu Daxia has worked hard, you should bring a few of your friends to meet the lord!" ”
"That's exactly how it should be."
Xu He replied, and then motioned to his friends to let them ride in.
Xu He's friends are also smart people, and they immediately understood what Xu He meant.
"See the lord!"
Li Yuan looked at Xu He's friends, all of them were yellow and thin, unkempt, and they all exuded a strong odor.
"Well, get up!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
"Don't be polite, Xu Daxia, are they the masters you said?"
Li Yuan asked.
Xu He hurriedly explained: "These are some masters that Xu knows in the rivers and lakes, and their martial arts are all high, and they are by no means ordinary. ”
Xu He nodded.
Li Yuan was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it.
Li Yuan does not lack these masters of martial arts, and what is most lacking in troubled times is loyalty.
Maybe today you are strong, you are the lord, he is down, the enemy is their lord.
Double-cross each other!
"You may be seated."
Li Yuan invited.
"Thank you, Lord."
Xu He introduced several of his friends to Li Yuan, who were called: "Liu Yiliang, Chen Erdeng, Zhang Sanren......"
Li Yuan actually didn't have any impression of these names.
And with Li Yuan's character, he prefers brave and resourceful talents.
Although Xu He is also a resourceful person, but Xu He's friends in the rivers and lakes are all like people's husbands, such people, Li Yuan is not at ease.
......
Kyoshi, Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.
Zhang Shi sat on the dragon chair and was silent.
Huang Gao was pacing outside the main hall with an anxious face.
Emperor Zhang Shi of Pingyuan has not eaten for a day and a night.
The military reports from the south made Zhang Shi very anxious.
Because the probe envoy sent by Zhang Shi still has no news at all.
Even Li Yuan has not heard from him for a long time.
Various situations came to Zhang Shi's mind.
If Wu Jinfan succeeds in quelling the traitors, but if the military power in Wu Jinfan's hands cannot be recovered, there will be chaos again.
Or Wu Jinfan turned against the traitor, how should he deal with it?
And neither of these endings is what Zhang Shi wants to see.
For the marriage contract between the Fu family and the general Wu Jinfan of Zhenguo, there is actually Zhang Shi's acquiescence.
The only thing Zhang Shi is looking forward to now is that Wu Jinfan will marry Fu Yuanmei, the first beauty in Beijing, ———— for the sake of his mother and a marriage contract.
can force Wu Jinfan to hand over military power, disarm and return to the field!
"Your Majesty, eat something!"
Huang Gao comforted.
"I'm not hungry."
Zhang Shi shook his head, still thinking of a way.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!"
Zhang Shi raised his head and looked at Huang Gao: "Aiqing, please speak." ”
Huang Gao said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that since there is no news coming now, you might as well wait and see what happens. ”
"If there is good news, there is no need to be impatient."
Zhang Shi sighed: "Aiqing, why don't I want to wait for the good news!" But....... Hey......."
Zhang Shi sighed and said, "I have already sent a decree that after the rebellion is quelled in the prefectures and counties of the world, I will not tour north, and my palace will not have to be repaired. ”
Huang Gao sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this.
Of course, Huang Gao knew how much sacrifice and trade-off this will had made for the emperor.
After all, Huang Gao knows Zhang Shi's temperament very well, and he is decisive and ruthless.
———— killed his father and brother, rebelled and usurped the throne.
Never before has this supreme position changed a person.
"If Wu Jinfan still doesn't make any moves after January, it's not too late to think about how to deal with it at that time!"
"Aiqing is right!"
Zhang Shi said.
"Then do what Aiqing says! I'm tired, help me to rest. ”
Zhang Shi waved his hand and slowly left the imperial study.
After Huang Gao watched Zhang Shi walk away, he muttered to himself: "I hope that Your Majesty and Daxu can survive this catastrophe!" ”
Huang Gao has been by Zhang Shi's side for several years, and he has long figured out Zhang Shi's temperament.
In this big war, whether you win or lose, I am afraid that there will be a bloody storm in the world.
And Zhang Shi would never allow this to happen.
Therefore, Huang Gao knew that Zhang Shi would definitely not give up and would definitely continue to conquer.
Zhang Shi gave up the northern tour, and there may be a southern tour, in short, this time the matter is destined not to end so easily.
.........
This time, Huang Gao knew that he couldn't stop Zhang Shi, so he could only go with the flow.
