"Direct recommendation is obviously not enough. But our Emperor is very happy with his achievements, but he is not determined and will retreat when encountering difficulties." This is what Song Zheng saw from some of the court's past policy decisions.
Helianlie thought about it again and said, "Go on."
Song Zheng felt a little unsure. His judgments about the emperor were all based on indirect evidence, and they were definitely not as accurate as Helian Lie. Helian Lie did not say whether his judgment was right or wrong, which made him somewhat unsure.
He said bravely: "As long as he understands that the demon clan is powerful and cannot be defeated in one fell swoop, our Emperor will immediately retreat."
Helian Lie frowned, and Song Zheng stopped here. Helian Lie could figure out the rest without him asking. And he couldn't say any more!
Du Tianling didn't understand yet and was waiting for his next words, but Song Zheng didn't speak anymore. He urged, "What next?"
Song Zheng stood with his hands folded and his lips tightly closed. Du Tianling was puzzled, but Helian Lie raised his hand: "Tianling, send them back, I will... think about it carefully."
"Yes." Du Tianling was full of questions.
Not only him, but Shi Yi and the four others didn't understand either. They didn't say much on the way. When they returned to their residence, when Du Tianling left, they immediately started asking: "Scholar, what idea did you give the general?
"
Song Zheng sighed: "Just wait and see, the general... will probably adopt this method - but this method is an extremely difficult choice for the general."
…
Song Zheng guessed right. For Helianlie, making a decision was very painful.
Du Tianling sent the five Song Zhengs back and hurried back to ask for details. He knew that the general had understood what Song Zheng meant. But Helianlie did not explain to him this time and asked him to retreat.
.
For two days in a row, Helianlie made no move.
The madam was extremely worried: "Husband, the young wolf soldier's method is the only feasible one at present. I know you are in pain and cannot make a choice, but for the sake of Hongwu's national destiny, you can only sacrifice some people."
Helianlie lowered his head and remained silent.
Song Zheng's method was very cruel. All he needed was for Helian Lie to make a quick call and falsely claim that the Seven Killing Division was attacking and Huangtai Fort would be unable to withstand it, so he only needed to request immediate support from the imperial court.
The Forbidden Army is all around the capital; the northern frontier army and the outer frontier army need to coordinate and change defenses in advance if they want to be mobilized. The speed is slow - the only ones who can come quickly are the guards from Tongzhou and Jiangzhou behind Huangtai Fort.
When tens of thousands of guards enter Huangtai Castle, they are bound to be buried with them. But the emperor will be frightened by the monsters. He originally wanted to take them by surprise, and only in this way can he realize his "great" plan.
If the demon clan had been prepared in advance and did not even give up attacking the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty from Huangtai Fort as Helianlie said before, the emperor would definitely not dare to carry out this plan again.
Song Zheng's judgment of the emperor's nature was correct. He was very happy to succeed, but would give up immediately when encountering setbacks.
This is what Song Zheng said, sacrificing some people to preserve the vitality of the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty. These vitalities are the Forbidden Army and the Border Army! Both of them are far superior to the guards in terms of magical weapons, equipment and combat power. They are the Hongwu Empire.
The Celestial Empire resists the demon clan externally and shakes the Six Heroes internally.
If the Forbidden Army and the Border Army were defeated, the Hongwu Empire would be over.
But sacrificing a batch and preserving a batch is, after all, a very cruel thing. These are living lives, not objects! Even if Song Zheng thought of this method, he was unwilling to say it directly. He even hoped that Helian Lie would return the favor.
If there is another way, don’t take this step!
Helian Lie suddenly raised his hand and gently stroked his wife's hair. After many years, this cloud-like hair was still as black and beautiful as before.
The lady also smiled as playfully as she did when she was young, her eyes were watery, and she gave him a scorn.
"Madam," he said softly, "I have worked hard for you for so many years."
The lady laughed and said, "Why do I have to work so hard? I am so lucky to have a husband like you who is a great military god. People all over the world say that I recognize heroes with my sharp eyes. I value trust over wealth and honor, so I have a good wife. I will definitely be a virtuous woman in future generations."
model.
And husband, you love me and love me, everything goes with me, you allow me to form chariot troops to fight with you in the north and south, you don't lock me in the back house, and you are devoted to me, and you will never take any concubines or marry me for the rest of your life.
A side wife; all the women in the world envy me.
I have no regrets in this life..."
Helianlie unexpectedly looked at his wife with tears in her eyes as she spoke, and said nonchalantly: "Madam, have you understood my intention?"
The lady nodded, took his hand and put it on her cheek, saying softly: "Husband and wife are one, and I will accompany my husband."
"You must not..."
"Why not?" Madam's voice was still gentle, but soft yet firm, extremely firm.
"Madam!" the last famous general of the Hongwu Dynasty shed tears.
…
Half an hour later, the chariot and cavalry general He Lianlie put on his official robe and crown, and his wife wore the royal decree and ordered her to ascend to the sky. They wanted to return to the capital to face the saint. Thirty miles out of Huangtai Fort, they fell in the air.
The whole body of a famous general in the Xuantong realm burned fiercely, and he fell from the sky, dragging a long flame tail, shining like a shooting star.
The news spread back to the capital, and the government and the public were shocked. The army did not move, but the marshal was killed first. The emperor, who always liked great achievements, but was weak-minded, was frightened. He did not reflect that he ignored Helian Lie's 13 consecutive bloody battles and was about to lose.
It was the last capital of the Guang Hongwu Celestial Dynasty that finally forced the imperial court's last famous general to death. He just believed that this was an ominous sign, and the Northern Expedition was abruptly abandoned.
…
The whole city of Huangtai Fort was made of parchment, and the three armies were all in mourning.
Du Tianling and Jian Wufeng burst into tears, and everyone from Chongguang's army to the general's personal troops put on mourning clothes. With tears in his eyes, Song Zheng broke into an empty cloth shop and came out with a few pieces of white cloth.
, Zhao Xiao was a little clumsy in making mourning clothes for everyone.
Later, Miao Yun'er came and said hoarsely: "I'll do it."
Song Zheng sat blankly under the eaves. He was thinking about his last meeting with the General Chariot and Cavalry, and he gave him an idea. But at this moment, he suddenly understood that it was not that Helian Lie had not thought of this method, but that he did not want to use it.
.
What he didn't expect was that Helianlie still had such a choice, and after struggling several times, he still insisted on doing what he thought was right as before.
He refused to choose to sacrifice a group of people and save a group of people, because that choice could not be said to be wrong, but it could not be said to be right either!
He found an option that was correct in his judgmental values.
Song Zheng quietly wiped away his tears. After his father passed away, he originally swore secretly that he would never shed tears again in his life. Suddenly something floated down from the sky. When he looked up, a few snowflakes fell quietly from the eaves.
The snow in Saibei came earlier this year.
…
Pan Feiyi stood behind him, looking at his back with mixed feelings in her heart.
Before Helian Lie, she never believed that someone would sacrifice their life for those who were not relatives! She had heard too many words from saints, but she had also seen too many ghosts. She was even more heartbroken by her family's abandonment.
It was cold, but Helian Lie shocked her hard at this moment.
It was the first time she saw Song Zheng show his true feelings, and she felt deep sympathy in her heart: With the realm of the three realms of Maihe, it was impossible under normal circumstances not to notice that she was standing behind him.
She stepped forward slowly, letting her footsteps startle Song Zheng. When Song Zheng turned around, she saw that his eyes were red and the circles under his eyes were a little swollen. She knew that he had cried, but he was not in a mocking mood. He was still deeply moved.
Deeply sympathize.
She stood aside and handed him a book box: "This is obtained in exchange for the wild beast materials you gave me. I fought with my family, and I think I won't let you down."
