Chapter 834: The Eve of Parting (Part I)
"You are a smart person, but this time you are smart...... Zhu Yuanzhang retracted his sneer and said slightly, "I never said I wanted to kill you...... As I said, I have called you here to discuss the strategy of Luoyang...... You don't joke, do everything you can ......"
In the sadness, Lu Jing's eyes were slightly surprised, although she didn't know why, she understood that Zhu Yuanzhang at this time had no intention of killing for the time being. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "I just asked Qing to tell the truth...... As Qing said, Qing has a plan, but the truth can't come from Erer, even if the truth is told, it can't change anything...... On the contrary, when it comes to business, the strategy of crusading against Luoyang today is the key, and I don't know what the plan is......"
"There is no news of the invincible city at the end of the general, I would like to listen to the emperor's orders......" Lu Jing looked down at the dust with blank eyes, and said in a low voice.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Okay, you and other vanguard troops, together with General Chang Yuchun, will set off tomorrow afternoon to send troops to Luoyang - the Luoyang guards are the imperial court Lu Guogong and Deyin Timur, Lu Guogong is old, has been sick in bed for a long time, and cannot get up, and Deyin Timur was defeated in Jinan by General Qin Yu of the Er's army...... Neither of them can fight, I believe that the crusade against Luoyang, Qing and the others will not have many changes......"
"The emperor really found out the details of Luoyang in advance, right......" Lu Jing didn't look up, still with dead eyes.
"The decision-making of the army must be preempted, and the use of the art of war, knowing oneself and knowing the other is the best-" Zhu Yuanzhang first stood up and said a word, and then saw Lu Jing's declining expression, remembering that the battle of Bianliang was the same, and slowly explained, "Don't worry, I didn't calculate Qing and wait this time...... As long as the ministers follow General Chang to fight according to the plan, the rewards and punishments for military merits will remain unchanged......"
"The last general...... Obey the order......" Lu Jing did not raise her head from beginning to end, and ordered in a low voice.
Seeing Lu Jing's grief in despair, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked: "Why, I calculated and killed General Zhao, General Nangong Murong and others, does Qing hate me very much......
"Yes, I hate you so much that I want to kill you...... If you are not the emperor......" Lu Jing clenched her fists in grief, gritted her teeth, and vented in a low voice regardless of Zhu Yuanzhang's status as a king.
"Okay, Miss Lu not only has a strategy, but also a lot of courage, who dares to say such things in front of me, I'm afraid there is no one else but you......" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
"No......" However, Lu Jing didn't seem to be angry, and continued to be resentful, "Besides me, there must be someone who says this kind of thing......"
"This ...... You also know?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a little worry.
"The emperor said that I am a smart person, and my prophecy has always been very accurate...... Lu Jing lowered her body and said angrily.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart...... But after calming down a little, Zhu Yuanzhang still said calmly: "Okay, I admit that it was me who indirectly killed General Zhao and others...... But remember, if I bow down and apologize, it doesn't mean that I will change - I will never change, since the army division is by my side, I will still treat you as an 'enemy' in the future, and I will do ......it myself" But after saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang was inexplicably vaguely contradictory in his heart.
"I know......" Lu Jing no longer made any more courtesy, but responded coldly.
"If it's okay, let's leave first......" Zhu Yuanzhang retracted his expression and ordered in a low voice, "Don't forget, I will definitely return to the camp at noon tomorrow, and then I will send Luoyang with General Chang's troops ......"
"Yes......" Lu Jing only agreed briefly, and then slowly walked towards the camp gate with sadness and pain......
"Wait-" However, just as Lu Jing stepped out of the camp, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to think of something, and inexplicably stopped Lu Jing again.
"What's the matter, the emperor ......" Lu Jing didn't look back, but asked in a low voice.
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while, as if he was full of contradictions in his heart...... "Army Division, I want to ask Qing a question...... Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly spoke, with a hint of human affection, "If the world is calm, Qing thinks...... Will I be a good emperor in the future?"
This question seemed a little abrupt, and Lu Jing was a little surprised when she heard it...... But Lu Jing was still immersed in the grief of Zhao Zichuan and others' "persecution of the truth" at this time, and her expression did not change much, after a pause, Lu Jing still turned her back and slowly spoke: "The emperor recruited rebels, sympathized with the Li people, in order to save the people of the world, overthrow the tyranny of Mengyuan, and the king's position will not forget to be honest, and he will definitely be a good ......emperor in the future" This sentence is not flattery, Lu Jing is telling the truth.
"Why does Naqing hate me to the bone......" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.
Lu Jing paused for a moment and replied silently, "I don't know...... But I just hate you, and I want to kill you, even if you are the emperor...... But as the last general said before, the emperor is the lord of a country, and the fate of all people in the world is determined by the emperor, who dies and who lives, who is right and who is wrong, is there still a need to argue...... Brother Zichuan, Brother Nangong, Brother Murong, are they wrong? No, didn't they also 'die' in the hands of the emperor in the end......"
"Then why?" Zhu Yuanzhang still said ambivalently, "Since I am a good emperor, why ...... Qing?"
"Why? Hmph, do you need to explain......" Lu Jing's tone was slightly ironic, and asked bitterly in a low voice, "It's like we are loyal to the Lord, crusading against enemies and thieves, and making countless achievements, but in the end we were persecuted by the emperor's calculations...... And why? Can anyone explain ......?"
After speaking, Lu Jing didn't wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to continue to ask, and left the camp directly......
After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, his heart was like a dagger, but there was a faint pain but there was suffering.
"Why...... Why ......" Zhu Yuanzhang stood in place, and his heart did not calm down for a long time......
Lu Jing, who left the camp tent, left the camp straight and returned to the pioneer camp......
But along the way, Lu Jing's heart was not at peace for a long time, and even after knowing the truth, the waves intensified...... On the way back to the camp, Lu Jing first quickened her pace, but for some reason, her pace gradually slowed down, and she walked slower and slower - the discomfort in Lu Jing's heart became more and more intense, and she recalled the bits and pieces of her battle with Tang Zhan and others all the way, and her heart was inexplicably bitter...... Unconsciously, thinking of the battle in Xuzhou, what Yan Jitai Bazado said to himself before he died, Lu Jing seemed to have pain in his heart......
(in recall)......
"Don't you hate me...... Lu Jing couldn't help asking, "I am Zhu Yuanzhang's person, and I am inseparable from the Mengyuan court, and I calculated you at a young age and ruined your reputation...... When the two armies clash, you should hate me to the bone, and in order to catch me, you sometimes even give up the overall situation in the army and act with me......"
Yan Jitai still closed his eyes and smiled, and the conversation with Lu Jing before he died no longer looked like an enemy, but like a friend who saw him off: "I have fought so many battles in my life, and I have never fought so happily as this time, with a young girl...... I am old, and when I was young and frivolous, I offended the partisans of the court, and now that I am old, they also secretly plot against me from time to time...... Meng Yuan's country is exhausted, and I am glad that I can be loyal to the court before I die, and I no longer ask for too much. Rather than die at the hands of those court rebels who want to kill me by deceit, it is better to be killed by the enemy generals I admire on my favorite battlefield, and I will not have any regrets in this life...... Lu Yatou, you, like the descendant of the Tang family, are the people I admire in my life......"
Unexpectedly, the enemy who once hated him to the core, but now he admires himself when he is dying, and he understands that people will know as soon as they hear it, Yan Jitai said the truth, and Lu Jing can also faintly feel that in the past 20 years, Yan Jitai Baza has struggled and struggled with life and death in the chaos of the imperial court and the chaos of peace and war...... However, Lu Jing restrained her expression and sighed slightly: "If it were me, I wouldn't agree with your statement...... I knew the art of war when I was young, and I used it skillfully, although I was young, I was the most reluctant to fight in my life, and I was not like you, I would never like the 'battlefield'...... I am for him and to help him complete his wishes, so I am not afraid of hardships to come here and give everything I can ......" As she spoke, Lu Jing turned her head and glanced at Tang Zhan, who had not noticed.
Yan Jitai seemed to understand what Lu Jing meant, and said with a slight smile: "A girl is really a girl, no matter how smart and strategic, she still has a girl's simple heart, and she can't bear to see the cruelty of war, if I were you, maybe I would do the same...... But I'm from the past, if you take this road for the sake of yours, there is one thing I must remind you -- war or something, although it is cruel, but what is even more cruel is the political struggle between the DPRK and China...... If you and General Tang are the founding heroes, don't fall into the 'troubled waters' of the imperial court struggle, once you fall in, you won't be able to get out in this life......" Yan Jitai's last words were particularly dignified.
When Lu Jing heard this, the whole person was silent for a long time, and even her expression was slightly gloomy. Thinking about this march, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be secretly monitoring his every move and that of the Tang Zhan army, and Lu Jing always had a bad premonition. After many conversations with the generals, Lu Jing gradually felt the depth of Zhu Yuanzhang's scheming - Zhu Yuanzhang is the most terrible person......
(In reality)......
Thinking of Yan Jitai's warning before his death, and then looking at the life and death of relatives and friends today, Lu Jing's heart was filled with grief and grief to the extreme-facing political struggle is far more cruel than facing the cold battlefield......
Suddenly, as if her heart hurt to the extreme, Lu Jing stopped inexplicably on the dirt slope at the corner of the camp, and "bang-" reached out and punched the earthen wall on the side......
......Suddenly, Lu Jing was alone under the mound, silently drinking tears of hatred - war and turmoil, political struggle, Lu Jing a young girl was deeply trapped in it, and she really had to suffer; to this point, witnessing the life and death of countless relatives and friends, but still pretending to be a cold and ruthless face every day, in the army and politics...... It's so sinful and unfair for a girl...... After all, at this moment of emotional catharsis, Lu Jing still shed tears, and the tears were sad under the strong surface......
For a short period of time, Lu Jing was alone, but she walked for a long time before slowly returning to the vanguard barracks......
In the camp and school field, Tang Zhan, Xiao Tian and Su Jia, who came back early, have been anxiously waiting for Lu Jing. The three of them had a premonition at the same time - Zhu Yuanzhang asked Lu Jing to discuss the tent alone, and the matter discussed was definitely not as simple as the "Luoyang Strategy......
And among them, Xiao Tian was even more uneasy in his heart, he was a brother and brother to He Yifan, and he couldn't accept the fact that "He Yifan is a meticulous work" for a while, and his heart was in pain in the camp for a long time......
"Sister Jing is back-" Su Jia was on the side of the camp fence, and she was the first to see Lu Jing come back, and couldn't help but remind.
"Jing'er-" Seeing Lu Jing's "safe" return, Tang Zhan couldn't wait to run out of the camp as soon as possible to greet Lu Jing.
However, seeing Lu Jing bowing her head and returning to the camp, her eyes even cried slightly, thinking that something bad had happened, and everyone was also worried.
"What's going on, Jing'er, why are your eyes ......" Tang Zhan held Lu Jing with both hands and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, stupid, it's just dried up, and the sand got into my eyes......" Lu Jing didn't want everyone to know her sadness, so she deliberately changed the topic.
"What did Zhu Yuanzhang tell you?" Tang Zhan continued to ask urgently, "Is it really just the 'Luoyang War', what else is there?"
"It's just the battle in Luoyang...... Lu Jing continued to conceal, "Don't worry, stupid, it's nothing serious......
Although he said this, Tang Zhan didn't seem to believe it, knowing that Lu Jing seemed to be sad in his heart, so he didn't ask too much.
"Oh, by the way......" Lu Jing seemed to have thought of something, and smiled slowly at Xiao Tian, "Brother Xiao, don't be sad, He Yifan is not a meticulous ......"
"What, is it true?" Xiao Tian said with a mixture of surprise and sadness when he heard this, "Then why...... Why does Brotherhood ...... This is how it will end......"
"It's just because of a misunderstanding of the important military aircraft...... Lu Jing deliberately made up a lie in order not to make everyone sad about the truth, "He Yifan is actually a spy under our army, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know about it in advance...... Suddenly broke into the emperor's camp, with Bianliang intelligence, thinking that it was the enemy's meticulous work, and Zhu Yuanzhang's guards took his life......"
In fact, Lu Jing said this, not only to not make everyone sad, but more importantly, she didn't want her relatives and friends around her to know the truth like herself, and fell into the "quagmire" of the power struggle, and finally ended up being "persecuted by Zhao Zichuan and others for no reason" because of herself......
Su Jia seemed to see something in Lu Jing's eyes, and said with a clear heart: "Sister Jing, we understand you, if there is something unspeakable that you don't want to say, then don't say it......"
When Su Jia said this, Xiao Tian and Tang Zhan also seemed to understand something, and nodded slightly......
"Okay, okay, it's just 'Luoyang War', don't put on an unhappy look......" In order to get rid of the sad atmosphere, Lu Jing, who was the most sad, was the first to change the topic with a smile, "Tomorrow afternoon, our army will send to Luoyang with General Chang Yuchun, tonight is the last night in Bianliang, cherish the days with relatives and friends, and meet again in the future, I'm afraid we will have to wait until the war ......is over."
"Yes, He Yifan's death, we haven't told Miss Xiaoqing yet......" Xiao Tian said in a low voice on the side, "Jia'er, if it's okay, let's go back to Plum Blossom Villa in a while......"
"Hmm......" Su Jia nodded in response.
"And the fool-" Lu Jing continued to put on a smiling face, forcing herself to forget her sadness, and said with a happy face, "I said that I would eat my cooking tonight--I will make a big pot today, you have to eat it all obediently......" As she spoke, Lu Jing also nodded on the bridge of Tang Zhan's nose with a slightly "naughty" skill.
Tang Zhan could see a trace of bitterness in Lu Jing's smile, but thinking about it, Lu Jing could still be so optimistic under such a difficult situation, and in turn comforted himself, he was a dignified man, and he couldn't be slumped, right......
"Okay, go back tonight, I'll finish the meal Jing'er cooked-" Tang Zhan nodded and smiled, echoing...... (To be continued.) )
