Chapter 122: Foolishness and Deception
Chapter 122 is foolish
"Thank you for your love, the last general is ashamed not to be the emperor Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are great capable people, the last general's archery is very common, I really dare not be humble. ”
Hu Wei stood respectfully on the surface and listened to Valencia's words, but in his heart, he kept thinking about it. As the head of a country, Valencia does not use Ben, nor does he disdain such explicit praise of a governor. What is there in this that I don't know?
Hu Wei thought about it, and couldn't help but recall the situation when he was in Linggui City. At that time, Sumatar also kept praising his good archery skills, and then sent him to assassinate Lin Zhengfeng, the commander of the Anrong army at that time, the third prince of Anrong. If it weren't for luck, God forbid, if I didn't get it right, my bones would be drumming now.
The lesson is profound, and Hu Wei has suffered a loss, and he can't be fooled again. The heart caters to Valencia's words, and if you can, try not to open your mouth. People are born with two ears and only one mouth, and they can live a long time by listening more and talking less.
What? You have two mouths, uh, then you can look at it.
Not only Hu Wei, but also the officers at all levels present, one by two, were guessing the motive of Valencia to praise Hu Wei's archery method so much. Anyone who can be an officer and is qualified to come here is not stupid, and naturally knows that when many words are spoken, what is required is not what is meant on the surface.
Since the empire is dominated by military affairs, this makes all high-ranking generals no longer just pure military generals, they must have comprehensive knowledge in order to be able to mix better. In fact, compared with the military, many people present have more experience in drilling camps for various official ways.
Why Valencia did this, of course he has his considerations. In this battle with Anrong, the Blizzard Legion suffered the heaviest losses among the five major legions. More than half of the 200,000 permanent troops of the whole army were killed or wounded, which can be said to be a great loss of vitality. Since Valencia wants to control the military power from the new and absolute, it naturally has to attack the five major legions, and the Northern Blizzard Legion, which is greatly damaged, is of course the best choice.
Some time ago, Valencia received a request for merit from the Blizzard Legion, and the above one asked for merit for Zilawi. The reason for asking for credit is that Qi Lawei only shot a single arrow, went out of the enemy camp, and shot Lin Zhengfeng, the third prince of Anrong.
If it had been in the past, Valencia would have agreed directly. Because the affairs of the legion have always been handled at the discretion of the commanders of the legions, reporting to him is just a passing scene. Although nominally in charge of him, in fact, he does not have much right to speak.
But this time, Valencia did not give instructions immediately, but suppressed the matter. Although he doesn't know much about Zilawi, just because Zilawi is Sumadar's son, Valencia can basically judge that Sumarawl must have credited others to his son's head this time. Valencia knows too well what the descendants of the powerful of the empire are, and there are basically few who can support the wall.
Valencia felt that this was a breakthrough, so she paid great attention to this aspect of the matter and sent her cronies to collect information in this regard.
Under the management of Sumadar, the Qingzhou Blizzard Legion can almost become an iron bucket, and the generals at the top of the legion say that the good thing is to share honor and disgrace, and to say that it is unpleasant, there is under everyone's **. If something happens, I can't get better, and you don't have to think about it. Under such a premise, even if anyone has any opinions, it is an internal problem within the legion, and no one is impatient enough to poke the situation outward.
Because of the matter of shooting and killing Lin Zhengfeng, the third prince of Anrong, Sumendal has reached a consensus with several people in the legion. The people sent by Valencia couldn't find anything useful with Ben. However, when they returned to their lives, they brought back news to Valencia that the Blizzard Legion had a general named Hu Wei, who was very good at archery.
It seems that Hu Wei jumped into Valencia's eyes, and then the focus of the investigation also shifted to Hu Wei. It is much easier to check Hu Wei than Chazilawi, and a lot of information about Hu Wei has been passed on to Valencia.
Valencia was very happy to see Hu's information. What he was happy about was not Hu Wei's military talent, but Hu Wei's archery skills and deeds. Hu Wei may have good military ability, but Hu Wei is not a royal family, and Valencia will definitely not reuse him. As early as when Valencia was planning to attack the major legions, he had already decided not to reuse non-royal personnel as the top military commanders of the legions.
Valencia had to take advantage of Hu's archery and his prestige in the Blizzard. He was thinking about how to take down the Blizzard Legion first without arousing everyone's alarm. The appearance of Hu Wei is really urgent.
Kuahu's good archery technique is the first step in Valencia's plan, and he wants to use this step as an introduction, little by little, seemingly carelessly, to pull Zilawi into his sleeve. What is there in the army that makes a soldier not angry than impersonating himself. Not to mention that the person who did this was still the Legion Commander, and the person who benefited was the Legion Commander's son.
Valencia had a good plan, but that Hu Wei didn't cooperate with him at all, which made him very angry. This twenty-year-old man does not look like a young man at all. Valencia is the emperor of the day, and a young man who is so praised by Valencia can't help but be mad. This means that the emperor is optimistic and has no bright future.
But this nonsense, every time he praises him, he is prevaricating, as if admitting that if he is good at archery, he will die. It's really infuriating. Valencia endured it a few times and finally didn't hold back, slapped the table and hummed: "Hu Wei, what do you mean by this." I praise you for your good archery, but you repeatedly prevaricate, don't you want to do things for the empire?"
Hu Wei looked at Valencia, who was still smiling just now, and turned his face and turned his face, and hurriedly nodded to the ground on one knee: "The last general does not dare, His Majesty the emperor commands, and the last general will never give up." ”
"Well," Valencia smiled again, and said, "Young people should look like young people, the sun at your o'clock, and the world will one day be yours." When you are young, you have to live a vibrant life. Got it"
Hu Wei saw that Valencia had a smile on his face again, and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Maragobi's, this is called a companion like a tiger, and it is faster to turn your face than to turn a book. What is the sun at any o'clock, Lao Tzu has always been two... The sun of the bell, except for the sun, I have never seen it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor, for your teachings, the last general remembers. Hu Wei replied respectfully. At this time, he was already in his heart, and he defined Valencia as a more cunning person than Sumendal, and he acted and spoke even more proudly.
Valencia nodded with satisfaction: "This is like a young man." I'm very interested in your arrows taking the right eye of the Beast Legion Tiekla, so tell me about shooting Chen Changli in the midst of the chaos. ”
Did Valencia say the wrong thing? No, no, he deliberately mixed the two things together.
Hu Wei listened to Valencia's words, and his head was a little big, which one do you want me to talk about, these two things, don't make a fuss. The emperor asked, you can't talk nonsense, Hu Wei had to ask heartily: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this, do you want to listen to Tie Kra, or Chen Changli?"
Hu Wei also just heard Valencia talk about Chen Changli, and only then did he know that the unlucky guy he killed in Qingfeng Town was actually the commander of the Eighteenth Group Army of the Lin Gui Empire. No one had ever sued him about this before.
Of course, Valencia wants to listen to the shooting of Chen Changli by Qingfeng Town, because this is very similar to the shooting of Lin Zhengfeng by An Rong (the news that Lin Zhengfeng is not dead has not yet reached the empire. )。 Hu You's shooting of Chen Changli has tens of thousands of eyes watching, and it is absolutely impossible to fake. Valencia wanted to use the mouth of Hu to tell the people present how to shoot the enemy generals in the midst of the chaos. Valencia didn't want to be too deliberate, so she said this on purpose.
Valencia pretended to be stupid and said, "Oh, look, I'm so happy that I'm confused." Well, tell us about Chen Changli's situation. It has been a long time since our country has fought against the Lin Gui Empire. The generals present believe that they are more interested in him. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Hu worried for a moment and said: "At first, I didn't know that that person was the commander of the Eighteenth Group Army of the Lin Gui Empire, and I received an order from Marshal Ximen Yufeng to shoot him. Because he was organizing his men and horses at the time, he wanted to attack Qingfeng Town again.
I'm sure you all know the situation in Qingfeng Town at that time. At that time, the troops were secretly evacuating through the guò tunnel, and there were only 10,000 soldiers left behind at the head of the city, and the military strength of the Lin Gui people was ten times that of ours.
It was like this."
Hu Wei was born as a charlatan, and deceiving people and telling nonsense is his means of survival, and he also deliberately wants to be in front of generals at all levels, so the process of this battle was like a story by him, stacked and exciting. Even Ximen Yufeng, who witnessed this qiē on the city wall at that time, was attracted by the story of Hu Wei.
"At that time, I was the vanguard of the Lin Gui people, and it was already very close to me, I pulled my bow and arrows, and I saw the target, only to see a cold light, and flew away. And guess what?"
Hu Wei is a good guy, and unconsciously used the skill of hanging the audience's addiction. He thought it was telling a story.
"What's the matter?" asked Valencia very cooperatively. He was also attracted by the complex, and after asking, he remembered that he shouldn't have answered.
Hu Wei clapped his hands and said: "God bless me Mandala, I actually succeeded with one arrow and shot that Lin Gui commander Chen Changli"
"This villain is playing tricks again. Ximen Yufeng said with a wry smile in her heart.
"Whew, it's a good arrow. How far were you from Chen Changli at that time?" asked Valencia with a long breath.
Hu Wei didn't want too many people to know the characteristics of the Sun Changing Bow, so he shortened the distance and said, "About three hundred steps, I was only thinking about how to shoot that Lin Gui's commander at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to this aspect of the problem. ”
"Well, Hu Wei, you did a good job, and the empire will remember your work. Valencia waved her hand, letting Hu Wei retreat. Although Hu Wei's appearance at the beginning made him not so satisfied, his goal has been basically achieved. Now it's time for the second step of planning.
After Valencia saw Hu Youdu retreat, he glanced around at the generals and said, "Hu Youdu shot this arrow well, and shot out the majesty of our Mandala Empire.
Next, I would like to introduce you to another person who also gave us the prestige of the Mandala Empire. Coincidentally, this person is also from the Blizzard Legion, when Anrong invaded my Qingzhou, he also used an arrow to take the commander of Anrong's army at the time, Lin Zhengfeng, the favorite third son of Anrong Lin Hongyuan.
Qi Lavi, you can also tell us about shooting Lin Zhengfeng and forcing An Rongjun to retreat. ”
As soon as Valencia's words came out, Hu Wei was like an enlightenment, and he instantly understood his intentions. It turned out that this old emperor repeatedly mentioned the matter of archery, and the purpose was here.
The old guy from Malagobi, Sumatra, really gave Lao Tzu's credit to his son. I don't know if this Valencia, spending so much effort to pave the way for this, wants to lift Zilawi or step on Qilawi. If what Ximen Yufeng said is true, Valencia seems to have a higher chance of stepping on Zilawi.
Hu Wei looked at this qiē coldly, and his heart was uncertain. From the time Valencia named Zilawy, he already knew that he was being used by Valencia. Thinking that he was born and died and made military exploits, not only did he not receive a commendation for this, but even the combat exploits themselves became a tool for them to pour into each other, and his heart was somewhat unhappy.
But soon, Hu Wei was relieved. This is a world where there is only power and no justice. It is the law of this world that the strong are kings and the weak are slaves. When you don't have the ability to change him, you can only adapt to him. Only under such a law, do better than anyone else, and you have the ability to change him. It's a reciprocal relationship.
Zilawy's face turned pale when he heard Valencia call his name. Before, he vaguely felt that Valencia seemed to be calculating something, but now he understood that Valencia had played so many tricks, and it turned out that it was for him.
No one knows better than Zilawi what that military exploit is all about. That's the credit of Hu Wei, not his. Now Valencia has asked Hu Wei to talk so much about archery, which shows that he has a view on this matter.
"The last general has seen His Majesty. "Regardless of whether you want it or not, Zilawi has to leave the crowd and walk in front of Valencia and salute.
Valencia is the absolute protagonist today, and this feeling of being in his hands is really good. In the face of Zilawi's salute, he smiled and waved his hand: "Qilawirang will not be polite, I received your father Sumendar's battle report a few days ago, and I am very happy to see your battle at a glance."
Your father and I have been both monarchs and friends for many years, and you are about the same age as several princes, and I have always regarded you as my own son and nephew. Now, Zou Ying spreads its wings, and I'm really happy.
Come on, tell us how you shot Lin Zhengfeng. ”
If he didn't know that this was not filming, Hu Wei really wanted to find out where the camera was and let himself have a few more shots. Valencia is really good at pretending, and if you put it on TV, he is definitely an excellent actor. I want to kill people in my heart, but I can say such kind words. It's really better than being a liar like yourself.
No, compared to them, how can I call myself a liar. At most, he will cheat some money, Valencia, Sumadar, and they will deceive the entire empire and tens of millions of people.
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor. Zilawi replied stiffly. Lin Zhengfeng didn't shoot him in the first place, how did he know what the process was.
It doesn't matter if you don't want it, I don't know if you can make it up. Anyway, no one else knows about it, no matter what you say, no matter what, who will ask for verification.
Hu Wei's story just now is quite exciting, and Zilawi also listened to some of it. He took the plunge, combined with what Hu Wei said just now, and then added some content himself, although it was not as good as Hu Wei, but he could barely tell the whole story.
Hu Wei listened to Qilavi's words with a sneer in his heart, and the most rare thing was that he actually looked very convincing. If Hu Wei is willing, he has at least a hundred ways to expose Zilawi on the spot and shave him to the ground.
What Zilawi said about this matter, others may think it is more reasonable, but in front of Hu Wei's eyes, it is simply full of loopholes and bullshit. If he said that, not only would it be impossible to shoot Lin Zhengfeng, but he would have to throw his life there.
But Hu Wei can't and won't do that, and now exposing Zilawi will not benefit him at all, and it will offend many people. If he had been so stupid, he wouldn't have lived now.
With great difficulty, Zilawi finished making up the nonsense, and the clothes behind him were wet. In his life, he has done a lot of things to deceive his father and women, but it is the first time he has deceived the emperor and so many generals in this hall. I have to worry that Hu Wei will jump out and expose it at any time, and I am really nervous.
Valencia listened quietly to Zilawi's words, and then didn't say a word, as if thinking about something, so that the generals present were all at a loss.
After a long while, Valencia let out a long sigh and said, "Good arrow, good archery." The Blizzard Legion is really talented, and there are actually two archers at once.
It's amazing, it's amazing.
I've been thinking just now, one of you shot An Rong's Lin Zhengfeng, and the other shot Chen Changli of the Lin Gui Empire, who is more at stake?"
"Your Majesty, it's not difficult to know this. Both generals are here, just let them compare and you will know. The general of a royal cavalry regiment said.
Valencia clapped his hands and said: "General Chen's proposal is exactly what I want, then we will let General Hu Wei and Zilavilang compare with him in the future."
