But all human beings naturally have emotions. They cannot be like robots, calculating between "0" and "1" all the time, so in fact, Fei Qian at this moment is already working very hard.
I'm controlling my emotions now.
Of course, as a commander-in-chief, you also need to be vigilant at all times and not fall too deep into emotions, causing you to lose your original rational ability to judge matters.
After killing Zheng Tai, Fei Qian felt that he had vented some of his accumulated negative emotions. He shook his wrist to shake off the blood on the Zhongxing Sword, and then asked his bodyguard to remove Zheng Tai's headless corpse.
After dragging him out, he sheathed the Zhongxing Sword. He did not enter the mourning hall. He bowed to Cai Yong's coffin in the mourning hall across the stone steps and said in a deep voice: "Senior sister, my condolences... A certain party has led an army. I'm afraid that the bloody evil will hit the master."
The heroic spirit will not go inside to worship... I will wait for someone to return to the city and take off his armor, and then come to watch the spirit..."
In the lobby, Cai Yan, dressed in filial piety, bowed his head in obeisance after hearing the words. A strand of black hair fell on his white clothes on his shoulders, "Thank you, unfilial daughter... I don't dare to work hard to conquer the west general..."
"General Zhengxi..." The middle-aged man stood up tremblingly. His eyes had not yet glanced at Fei Qian's hand holding the Zhongxing Sword, as if he was afraid that Fei Qian would pull out the sword again at the next moment.
Fei Qian nodded, then without looking at the middle-aged man, he took a step back, bowed into the hall again, then looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Chen Liu Cai Gu Cai Zifeng?"
After hearing the title of Fei Qian, the middle-aged man Cai Gu was inevitably a little angry. According to common sense, Fei Qian is Cai Yong's disciple, and Cai Gu is considered to be the same generation as Cai Yong. Naturally, he needs to use the etiquette of a junior, and now
Not only did Fei Qian not even use the honorifics used by peers to address each other's positions, he simply used the name of his place of origin the way superiors treat subordinates. Normally, this would have caused him to get angry, but looking at the bloody scene in front of the hall, Cai Qian
Gu didn't dare to show any signs at all, so he had no choice but to give it up.
"Come with me." Fei Qian nodded, turned around and walked away without saying a word.
"This..." The middle-aged man Cai Gu was stunned for a moment, then looked back, hesitating.
Fei Qian ignored Cai Gu. As he walked forward, he explained to Linghu Shao: "You will temporarily take over the post of high priest and command the academy. I will leave a group of soldiers to stay with you. Cai Mansion will handle the affairs.
Take care of me, but anyone who causes trouble will be killed without mercy!"
"Wei!" Linghu Shao responded with his hands raised.
Fei Qian looked at Xun Chen who was standing at the side with his hands folded. He paused, then stretched out his hand to signal, took Dong Cao's Jinxian crown from Huang Xu's hand, handed it to Xun Chen, and said, "I'll leave it with you for now."
, if there is a next time..."
Fei Qiancai beheaded Zheng Tai, and his hands were somewhat stained with blood. At this time, he took the Jinxian Crown, and the blood naturally stained the crown, beam, crown and bow of the Jinxian Crown...
Xun Chen looked at the blood mark on Jin Xian's crown. After a moment of silence, he put it on his head again and ordered the soldiers on the side: "Drag the body down, clean the stone steps. Take the skull into a lime box and place it outside the court."
, I will sacrifice it again when the funeral is held." Then he turned to Cai Gu, who was still in a daze, and said, "Shilang Cai, please invite me."
Cai Gu was still hesitant, so Xun Chen didn't say much and followed Fei Qian straight away. Two Fei Qian's soldiers stood behind Cai Gu on the left and right, making it clear that if Cai Gu didn't obey, they would attack directly.
situation.
Cai Gu shivered and quickly followed up.
As the night fell, Fei Qian, surrounded by more than a hundred mounted guards, flew to his government office in Pingyang City. In this area, only Fei Qian himself could ride a horse, and no one else could
You had to get off your sedan chair and dismount your horse outside the square. There were guards patrolling near the government office. When they saw Fei Qian returning, they immediately stopped to greet him and sent someone in front to guide him.
On both sides of the government office, although it was already late at night, under the swaying torches, officials of all sizes in Pingyang City were still waiting solemnly, standing full in front of the government office.
Although Fei Qian did not ask them to greet him here, General Zhengxi did not return home, and these officials did not dare to go home and sleep like this. Even though Fei Qian made another trip to Taoshan before returning, which delayed some time,
I still have to keep my spirits up and wait here.
Fei Qian swung his stirrup and dismounted, then nodded to the officials, and moved forward. When he reached the stone steps at the entrance of the government office, he turned back and said to everyone: "This time, everyone is safe and sound.
I would like to thank you for your meritorious service!" After saying this, he cupped his hands and pushed forward, making a flat bow.
The officials on both sides hurriedly returned the gift, saying that they did not dare to accept it, but the look in each other's eyes was somewhat overflowing with joy. Isn't it just for this reason that they had stayed up for so many days? Naturally, they were showered with flattering words.
Fei Qian smiled slightly and listened for a while without talking to anyone. He waved his hand and said, "It's getting late. Everyone, go back and rest. We will discuss current affairs at three quarters tomorrow at noon."
Nowadays, Pingyang City is getting bigger and affairs are more complicated. Naturally, there are many newly appointed civil servants and martial arts schools. Seeing Fei Qian say this, although I still want to show it to Fei Qian in my heart, so that Fei Qian can have a good impression first, but
Knowing that it was indeed too late and inconvenient at the moment, they naturally responded one after another and then dispersed one after another.
Zhao Shang was among them, not daring to get too far forward. He glanced left and right, and then his demeanor returned to normal. He chatted with other officials for a few words and then dispersed.
.
Fei sneaked into the lobby and did not go to the inner palace. Instead, he sat down in the festival hall. There were still some things in his heart that were uncomfortable, so it would be better to solve them that day. So he ordered his personal guards to wait outside, and first called Xun Chen to come over.
After Xun Chen entered the festival hall, he fell to the ground without saying a word.
"Get up, sit down..." Fei Qian was silent for a while and said, "Why is that so?"
"My lord, Cai Gong has no heirs, so this happened..." Xun Chen bowed with a blood-stained Jinxian crown, sat on the side seat, and said directly, without looking at Fei Qian's embarrassment.
face.
"..." Fei Qian was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xun Chen, opened his hands, and asked the attendant to untie the silk ribbon and remove his armor, and said, "I ask you, why are you here in such a hurry?"
Xun Chen was silent for a moment, then suddenly said in a confused manner: "...Gongsun Bogui committed suicide in Yijing, Lu Fengxian was defeated in Puyang, Liu Zhengli defected to Jingzhou..."
"..." Fei Qian suddenly turned around, causing the attendant who was removing his armor to lose his grip on the armor blade, and it hit the ground with a "dong" sound. However, he could not control the attendant who was asking for forgiveness. He looked at Xun Chen and said,
"Marquis Wen was defeated? How?"
Xun Chengong cupped his hands and said: "There was a severe drought in Yanzhou and there was a locust plague. There was no harvest in many places. In order to seize the wheat land, each had its own victory or defeat. Later, Lu Fengxian led his troops to attack Cao Mengde's camp, but was ambushed and defeated..."
"Wait..." Fei Qian frowned, put on the robe handed over by the attendants, waved his hand, and motioned for the attendants to retreat, and said, "Marquis Wen's men are brave and good at fighting. Even if they are ambushed, they should not be defeated...
…”
Xun Chen shook his head and said: "After Wenhou took control of Puyang, he recruited more soldiers and had no time to refine them. He rushed into battle, was suddenly ambushed, and panicked. How could he not be defeated?"
Fei Qian sighed and said, "How is Marquis Wen doing now?"
"We have retreated to Dingtao," Xun Chen said. "With the loss of troops and generals, and no money and food reserves... I may not be able to defend it for a long time..."
"Dingtao..." Fei Qian pondered for a while and shook his head. He was too far away and could not help much even if he had the intention to do so. "In that case, who do you think Cai Zifeng was sent to?"
"In my opinion..." Xun Chen paused and added, "Even if it is not the general's instruction, Cai's intention is to use it as a way to advance..."
Fei Qian sneered and said, "This Mr. Cai is not bad at thinking!"
Although the Chenliu Cai family belongs to Yanzhou, it is very close to Jizhou. In addition, although Zhang Miao and Lu Bu are said to be united, in fact Chenliu is still Zhang Miao's private land, which is relatively stable, and the north of Chenliu
It's Jizhou. Yuan Shao's momentum has been demonstrated now. After Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Zan, he will definitely go south. These can naturally be guessed by the nobles with a little insight, and there is no one in the Chenliu Cai family who can take action.
Naturally, his thoughts turned to Cai Yong.
"So you want to take this opportunity to march into Heluo?" Fei Qian glanced at Xun Chen and said.
Xun Chen shook his head and said: "If we take all of Heluo... the time has not come yet, but... we can take Hedong first, and then march into Shaanxi County and set it as an outpost, which will also disrupt the foundation of Hongnong..."
"Hedong?" Fei Qian narrowed his eyes slightly.
"...The area east of Hedong was originally a bit chaotic. Now the Yang family is raising troops. If Hedong has not been involved in it, no one will believe it..." Xun Chen said slowly, "The area east of Hedong is full of nobles.
With Wei, Pei, Liu, and Xue as the most important, the Wei family was the largest, occupying fifty-sixths of the land east of Hedong. This time, Yang's army must have Wei's private soldiers! Therefore, taking this opportunity of great victory, they went south to Hedong.
For this reason, we can kill the Wei family and confiscate the family property to use it as military supplies!"
"The Pei family moved here the day before yesterday to show their goodwill, and they can stay here for the time being. The Liu and Xue families, although they are powerful and right-wing, control the place, but have no official positions, they can place one or two of them as appropriate, and then they can be united. In this way, Hedong can be determined...
"
Fei Qian touched the short beard on his chin and thought about it. In the middle of the night, the surroundings were silent, with only the faint chirping of insects, which seemed to be telling something.
"...As for the Luoyang court," Xun Chen's voice was not loud, neither ups and downs of excitement nor surging sonorous. He just spoke slowly and carefully, as if he was talking about a simple matter.
It's a very common thing, "After the Yang family suffered such a big defeat, it will definitely be worse than before. After the Lord's Qiu harvest, he can make friends with the ministers in the name of Qiu Gong. If there is a change in Heluo, he can lead the army to advance. By then, the Yang family will
There is nothing you can do..."
Fei Qian nodded, then shook his head and said: "Youruo's strategy is naturally excellent...but..."
Fei Qian hesitated for a moment, but did not say anything. Instead, he changed the subject and said: "After three days of organizing the army, Zilong Ziyi was ordered to go south to Hedong... By the way, is there any news about Wenyuan?"
Xun Chen glanced at Fei Qian slightly, and without asking any questions, nodded and said: "Wen Yuan was stationed in Shaanxi and Jin. He attacked from the east of the river and defeated his army. However, after all, Shaanxi and Jin were isolated outside and could not be stationed for a long time, so he led his troops to
Huguan, I want to lead the troops from Huguan to rescue Pingyang... My subordinate felt that Pingyang should be fine, so he ordered him to stay in Huguan temporarily and wait for the lord to arrive here before making a decision..."
"Huguan, eh," Fei Qian nodded and said, "Okay, let's order Wen Yuan to lead the party's cavalry captain and control the party's troops..."
"Wei." Xun Chen bowed his hands in agreement.
"Bring Cai Zifeng up!" Fei Qian ordered.
Cai Gu tremblingly arrived at the festival hall. When he saw that Fei Qian was finally not wearing a military uniform and had lost a bit of the smell of iron and blood, he couldn't help but secretly take a breath. Just as he was about to go forward to pay homage, he heard Fei Qian shout in a deep voice: "
Such a Chenliu and Cai family, how can they be at a disadvantage by bullying someone with a sword?!"
Cai Gu was startled and said quickly: "General! Why did the general say this?"
Fei Qian didn't bother to chat with Cai Gu and said directly: "Shoushan Academy is not owned by any one person, nor was it built by the master alone! It was built by the elders from the north, who worked together to build stones and tiles, and renovated it. Isn't it right?
How can you take it away with just a word?"
After Cai Gu's thoughts were exposed, his face couldn't help but become extremely embarrassed. He turned blue and white at one moment. He didn't know what to say. To put it lightly, he couldn't bear to part with a great academy. To put it seriously, he was afraid of offending the person in front of him.
The God of Death, raising his sword and gun, his own life is at risk...
Just when Cai Gu was in a dilemma, Xun Chen spoke up, "Chen Liu Cai, a family heirloom of poetry and calligraphy, how could he do such a ungrateful and plundering thing?"
"This... naturally... naturally..." Cai Gu was extremely embarrassed, "but... but..."
Fei Qian looked at Cai Gu and knew clearly in his heart that although Cai Gu was embarrassed at this moment, since he had come all the way to Bingbei, how could he be willing to go back empty-handed?
Fei Qian said slowly: "Cai Shilang, do you want to talk about the scriptures?"
Cai Gu's brows furrowed and he said: "General Mingjian of the Western Expedition, Brother Cai's house originally contained tens of millions of books. If someone directly takes the Cai family's property, how dare he covet the Shoushan Academy..."
Fei Qian smiled hoarsely: "Shilang Cai doesn't know. Many of Cai's books were damaged when he was in Heluo. The scriptures in the Shoushan Academy are books from Dongguan Lantai, not Cai's collection..."
Cai Gu's eyes widened: "How can this be true! The books in Dongguan Lantai are the books collected by the imperial court, how can they be here?"
Xun Chen said: "Shilang Cai's words are wrong! In the past, my lord led Shangjun and fought against Bai Bo. He had many meritorious deeds. The imperial court knew that my lord was eager to learn, so he specially took the books from the Dongguan Lantai collection as an encouragement!"
Cai Gu couldn't help but be stunned. He couldn't believe his ears. He was stunned for a while and then said: "I only ask for Cai's book. Is it possible that there is nothing at all?"
Fei Qian smiled and said: "Of course there are some. How about waiting for someone to count them and then hand them over to Minister Cai?"
Cai Gu was also helpless. After a while, he said: "In this case, it will be time for General Xi to conquer... Then about my brother..."
Fei Qian ignored Cai Gu's provocation and turned to ask Xun Chen, "Just now did you say that Pingdong marched to Chenliu?"
Xun Chen nodded and said seriously: "So that Mr. Cai will know that Marquis Wen has been defeated at this time, and Cao Pingdong's army is approaching Chenliu... Ah, Mr. Cai, do you have personal guards? Otherwise, this journey will be long.
, the war is in chaos, if something goes wrong..."
Cai Gu's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Fei Qian.
Fei Qian looked at Cai Gu and said, "In that case, how about Minister Cai staying in Pingyang for the time being and making arrangements after the surrounding situation stabilizes?"
Cai Gu thought about it for a long time, and finally bowed to Fei Qian and said, "That's all I can do. I'm nagging General Zhengxi..."
