Chapter 27: The Government and the Opposition Shake
A flood in Yunhe made Xie Yun a laughing stock and shame in the eyes of the people of Tiandu, after all, he didn't even have a head-to-head fight with the Guiyi Sect, he was washed away by a big flood, and he wasted a great opportunity to defeat the Guiyi Sect in one fell swoop.
What's even more infuriating is that according to the feedback of many generals, Lu Fengxian has reminded Xie Yun more than once to be careful of the water attack since he was not out of the heavenly capital, but in the end Xie Yun was still defeated in the water attack.
If you extrapolate backwards from the results, Xie Yun is undoubtedly a contemporary model of a general who is incompetent and tired to death of the three armies, the sky is up and down, countless scholars sigh, and the great opportunity is wasted by Xie Yun, an idiot who does not know military affairs, and the entire Tiandu, as long as there is a place where the scholars haunt, you can see the scholars commenting on the battle of Yunhe.
One by one, even if it was me, it would be impossible to make such a shoddy mistake.
Xie Yun still led the soldiers, how many of the official positions of this Tiger Ben are behind the name of the Xie family?
Although Lu Fengxian, a reckless man, is also very annoying, he is arrogant and unreasonable on weekdays, and he occupies the spring Oiran, so that many scholars don't even have a place to play tea, but in this matter, Lu Fengxian is undoubtedly portrayed as a loyal minister who admonishes but is excluded by his narrow-minded boss.
That Xie Yun would not have been so miserable if he listened to Lu Fengxian's words.
Similar remarks seemed to pop up overnight after the news of Yunhe's defeat reached Tiandu.
"Did Bong do it first?" In the lobby of the Xie family, Xie Yao rubbed his temples with a little headache.
"No, according to the news sent by Miss Aoi, since General Lu handed over the military power, he has been staying at home for the past two days, except for the occasional army generals who come over to drink, he has not had any contact with outsiders, and those army generals basically have no contact with outsiders." The housekeeper shook his head and said, "According to our secret investigation, this incident may have been spread by the Guiyi Sect's meticulous work in Tiandu, and even if General Lu wanted to do such a thing, it would be impossible for him to set off such a big public opinion." ”
It's not that Lu Fengxian can't do it, but spreading the news is not something that you can spread if you are a high cultivator, I'm afraid the fastest spreading is still the scholars, Lu Fengxian's forces in Tiandu are basically in the army, and the scholars have never looked down on Lu Fengxian, how can they help Lu Bu become famous in turn?
Xie Yao nodded silently, although Lu Fengxian is greedy for money and lustful, he has always done things in a measured manner, and this thing is indeed not like Lu Fengxian's style.
"Master, Mr. Yun is still kneeling outside the door." The housekeeper reminded him.
"Let him get in!" A flash of annoyance flashed in Xie Yao's eyes, and he snorted coldly.
"Yes!" The butler nodded, bowed and exited the door.
Soon, Xie Yun came in a little decadent and saluted Xie Yao, "Dad." ”
"I remember that Feng Xian reminded you more than once to pay attention to the water attack, and according to the returning general, after you crossed the river, Feng Xian personally went to remind you not to camp there, why didn't you listen?" Xie Yao looked at Xie Yun and asked.
"I sent someone to investigate, and the water level of the Yun River has not changed since the thaw, and I also sent people to patrol along the Yun River for fifty miles, and no abnormalities have been found!" Xie Yun argued.
"Rubbish!" Seeing that Xie Yun was still quibbling at the moment, Xie Yao grabbed the bamboo slip in his hand and smashed it directly on Xie Yun's head, and the suppressed anger in his heart was released with a roar: "Feng Xian is almost hand-in-hand in teaching Ling how to be the commander of the three armies, those who are good at fighting have no outstanding merits, regardless of whether the other party is attacking with water or not, as the commander of the three armies, you must avoid possible risks as much as possible, you are good, obviously people have told you a better choice, but you chose the worst." ”
"Dad, I am the commander of the three armies, why did he Lu Fengxian point fingers at me, making everyone think that he is the boss!" Xie Yun also shouted with some dissatisfaction.
Xie Yao was stunned, looking at his son, a look of loss flashed in his eyes, and he sighed and said, "No wonder Feng Xian would rather offend you than choose Hui'er." ”
"Daddy......" When Xie Yun said this, he already regretted it, and when he heard Xie Yao's words, he was even more shocked in his heart, and he wanted to explain something but was interrupted by Xie Yao waving his hand.
"You don't think that you can serve as the commander of this dispatch because you have the talent to command the three armies, right?" Xie Yao asked Xie Yun a heart-piercing question.
Xie Yun opened his mouth, wanting to admit it, but thinking about his poor record, he finally didn't say it.
"No matter the bravery, military merits, and use of soldiers, Feng Xian is a hundred times better than you, and he is willing to assist you, not because of how much ability you Xie Yun has, but because of the old face of your father and me, people are willing to protect you, don't say Feng Xian, there are Yu Wentong who are suitable for being the commander in this court, your uncle, and even Cao Jingzhong and Zhang Wang, they are all five-grade masters, which is not more suitable than you, the court let you be the commander, one is the joint name of my Xie family, and the other is because Feng Xian is willing to give you an auxiliary general, Feng Xian is the key!"
"I was supposed to let you take advantage of this expedition to make some meritorious contributions, you don't even need to do anything, obediently look at Feng Xian's command, this battle will not be defeated so badly, the biggest credit for the victory is yours, and Feng Xian will carry it for you if you lose, do you think I sent Yun Zhi and Ling Shi to Feng Xian just to let you be the boss? Win or lose, you're the winner of this battle, but what about you? Xie Yao looked at this son with some hatred.
"It's almost impossible to lose the situation, you have made it into today's situation, and all the roads paved for you are in vain, I still have to remember to be a favor first." Xie Yao is really a little disappointed in this son, such a good situation can be played by him, narrow-minded, without the slightest tolerance, maybe...... This kid is really not suitable to inherit the Xie family's inheritance.
Xie Yun frowned when he heard this: "Didn't Dad already give him benefits?" Besides, he can be regarded as my Xie family. ”
"Those benefits are used to pave the way for you, and this favor is to thank others for saving your life." Xie Yao shook his head: "Xie family, I really hope that Kui'er is my own daughter, so Feng Xian is really my Xie family, don't take people for fools, there are some things that everyone knows, but they have to be treated as if they don't know, Kui'er just gave Fengxian a name, it's been so long, you really can't see that it's fake?" It's just not to say it. ”
Xie Yun is a little unpleasant, what is this, all the resources are given to Lu Fengxian, but he didn't get the benefits at all, but he achieved his reputation, and he has to thank him?
Xie Yun is naturally grateful to Lu Fengxian, after all, at the last moment, if Lu Fengxian hadn't come in time, he might have been gone, but now that he is safe, he feels that this is Lu Fengxian's duty, he was originally a retainer of the Xie family, and it was a dereliction of duty if he didn't protect himself and let himself get meritorious service, how could he have the face to invite credit?
"Come with me to Fengxian later, and then pack up your things and go back to Zhangzhou." Looking at Xie Yun's resentful expression, Xie Yao sighed, and didn't bother to talk about it anymore, there are some things that people have to understand by themselves.
"Daddy, the child knows it's wrong!" Xie Yun finally panicked.
"You know what is wrong, you know it in your heart." Xie Yao sighed: "You remember, whether it is a five-grade martial artist, a Confucian cultivator or a Taoist cultivator, it is different from other retainers, such a person, identity, family background, those things that are useful to ordinary people, are useless to them, this kind of person, you can only coax and coax, this is different from the six-grade martial artist and Confucianism, it's not that people can't do without us, but we have to rely on others to protect it, now your reputation in Tiandu has become stinky, continue to stay here, make people laugh, go back to Zhangzhou, there is the root of the Xie family, think about it after you go back, your words and deeds now, is not worthy of the identity of the Xie family's sister-in-law, and blame me, I am too arrogant to indulge you. ”
Xie Yun's face turned a little pale, what Xie Yao said later, he didn't hear it clearly, he only knew that he was going to be sent back to his hometown, which meant that he would leave this center of power, did it also mean that his identity as the heir of the Xie family was going to be shaken?
He followed Xie Yao all the way to Lu Fengxian's mansion, and numbly watched his father talk and laugh with Lu Fengxian, without mentioning the defeat, and only then did he let himself thank Lu Fengxian and make a big salute.
A pariah background, how can he stand it?
Although Lu Fengxian stopped him in time, Xie Yun was still a little aggrieved in his heart.
Late at night, Xie Kui fell asleep exhausted, although this woman is the eyes arranged by the Xie family by his side, but in addition to this identity, nothing else is true, whether it is appearance, temperament or popularity after undressing, it all falls perfectly on Lu Xuan's aesthetic point, I have to say that Lao Xie still put a lot of effort into picking this woman.
Counting the days, Yin Zheng and Ji En's family should have arrived in Yunzhou soon, I don't know what choice the imperial court will make when the next news is sent to Tiandu?
Now there is not much left for the imperial court, and no matter which way it goes, it seems to be a dead end, Li Xinian entered the court and began to govern, and he also wanted to see the means of this great Confucian.
"Husband, Kui'er is sorry for Husband~" Beside him, Xie Kui let out a dream.
Lu Xuan looked back at her for a long time, making sure that she was really asleep, shaking his head with a smile, blushing, sometimes for a woman, being too good-looking is really a curse.
"It's up to you to choose!" Lu Xuan flicked the pink pearl, reached out to help her cover the quilt, got up and got out of bed, I hadn't been to spring for a long time, and I just went to see if my unlucky brother had gone again.
Xie Yun's matter was quickly suppressed, not because the Xie family took action to suppress public opinion, but because a more exciting news came.
The two townside generals guarding the border pass are also the main force in this expedition against the Guiyi Sect, and the two veterans Yin Zheng and Ji En have surrendered to the enemy!?
Just like the news of Xie Yun's defeat that day, this news also spread throughout the entire Tiandu overnight, and the intensity of this news and the impact on the imperial court and even the entire Tiandu can be described as disastrous......
