Liu Ling sat up straight and looked at the fish that was biting the hook. It was still struggling hard, moving the fishing rod up and down, but could not get rid of the hook. The hook had already caught the mouth, unless
Death, otherwise it cannot be liberated.
"Tell me, did this little curved hook catch a big fish or a small fish?"
Zhao Da stretched his body and made himself sit more comfortably. Nowadays, there are no more than two people in the whole big man who can maintain a natural state in front of Liu Ling. One is Zhou Yangong and the other is Zhao Da. He seems to
He is obsessed with the comfort of that chair. Even though he can now walk normally, he still sits on it and refuses to leave. This wheelchair is by no means just a means of transportation. It represents at least two very important things.
Meaning, these two are what fascinate Zhao Da.
First, it is the prince’s trust and care. This chair was designed by the prince himself.
Second, what this chair now represents is the identity of the Commander of the Overwatch Council.
These two meanings are the fundamental reason why Zhao Da is unwilling to leave this wheelchair. As the commander of the Supervisory Yuan, he has the right to arrest and interrogate third-level officials without asking the prince for orders. He can even kill them first and then report them. This is too much power,
It made all the civil and military officials feel fear. And Zhao Da, who was sitting in the position of commander of the Supervisory Council, became a lonely minister because of this. All civil and military officials in the dynasty, even Zhou Yangong, disliked him. It can be said that,
He stood alone on the opposite side of all the officials. If he died, I believe that no one in the civil and military circles would feel sad. It would be unthinkable if he did not light a bunch of firecrackers at the door and eat a meal of dumplings to celebrate.
As a lonely minister, a character who opposes the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, especially all civil servants, Zhao Da deeply knows that he must show his absolute strength to those officials. And the trust of His Highness the King of Han is also a kind of strength of the Supervisory Council, and
It is the most important one. Without the prince's trust, the Overwatch Council cannot move forward. And this wheelchair, in the eyes of those officials, represents Liu Ling's trust. Zhao Da likes this wheelchair and is unwilling to get off and walk on his own because
He did this deliberately to tell the adults that he, Da Zhao, was the most trusted person by the prince.
This is an attitude.
As for the power of the Overwatch Council commander, Zhao Da was not too obsessed with it. Because he knew very well that this power was given by the prince, and if the prince wanted to take it back, it would be easy.
Liu Ling asked if this small hook could catch a big fish or a small fish. Zhao Da actually knew in his heart that if the prince's guess was correct, the fish caught would definitely be the biggest fish in Dazhou so far. Si Quan'er brought
He sent people to the north to check the truth of the Zhou army returning to the south. In fact, it was just to confirm whether Liu Ling's guess was correct. As for why Si Quan'er went instead of someone else, it was because Chen Ziyu knew that Si Quan'er wanted to take revenge. Weizhou Yi
During the war, a group of spies lurking in Weizhou were wiped out except for her. When Si Quan'er begged Chen Ziyu to send her to the north, Chen Ziyu knew that he had no reason to refuse. First, Si Quan'er begged Chen Ziyu to send her to the north.
Quan'er must take revenge, and the biggest enemy is Pei Zhan. Secondly, Quan'er is indeed the most suitable candidate.
So what is Liu Ling’s speculation?
Whenever Zhao Da thinks of the prince's speculation, he will be impressed by the prince's wisdom. People from the grassland people always use the depth of the lake to describe a person's wisdom. For example, when you praise someone, you will say so-and-so, and your wisdom is like a crescent moon.
The lake is as deep as the water. If this compliment is applied to the prince, Zhao Da really can't think of any lake that is so deep. It's so deep that you can't see, touch, or feel the bottom of the lake.
Liu Ling speculated that the person who led the army back south was not Zhou Jun general Qu Sheng, but Pei Zhan himself!
Liu Ling has a strong basis for making such a conjecture. First, the importance of Kaifeng to Pei Zhan is self-evident. Pei Zhan can do without Jizhou, but he must not lose Kaifeng. Although the Han army did not have Chen Bing
Outside Kaifeng City, Pei Zhan should be able to tell that the reason why the Han army did not open Kaifeng was because the Han army's follow-up troops were not in place yet. If the Han army had enough troops, it could handle the 100,000 leading guards on the left and right.
While the army was attacking Kaifeng, Kaifeng must be the Han army's first choice. After all, the occupation of Kaifeng would mean the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Second, Pei Zhan is very conceited. Even if his troops are divided, Jizhou is still besieged by an army of 300,000 people. No matter how strong the resistance of the remaining Chengdu and German soldiers in Jizhou City is, Jizhou will be captured sooner or later. This has been determined
There is no challenge in fighting such a battle. Perhaps it would be more exciting for Pei Zhan to confront the Han army head-on and challenge Liu Ling, the undefeated king of Han Dynasty.
Third, Pei Zhan would definitely think that no one would have thought that he was hiding in the army returning south.
Fourth, his return in person would have a certain deterrent effect on both the Han army and the leading guards on the left and right, Yue Le and Mi Huang, who were eyeing Kaifeng. Especially for Yue Le and Mi Huang, as long as he, Pei
After the war came back, those two people would never dare to open up Feng's idea.
Based on these points, Liu Ling believes that there should be no problem with his guess. What he needs to do now is to determine whether this guess is fact. If so, Liu Ling thought, if he can find a way to tell the news to the people in Jizhou City, he will be struggling to support him.
Is Zhu Sanqi excited? No matter who is left to command the 300,000 Ding'an Army, they will never be as comfortable as Pei Zhan personally commanding him. This is the opportunity for the German Army to turn defeat into victory, and Liu Ling is
I am happy to see the weak defeat the strong. Only in this way will the chaos continue. Only if the chaos continues, the world of this great Zhou will be better off.
Of course, if it was Pei Zhan who personally led the troops south, then Liu Ling would not mind hosting a banquet in honor of him. This banquet would definitely be rich and grand.
Zhao Dadao: "I think it will be a big fish."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "I love eating fish, but what is certain is that there are a few people who love eating fish more than me."
Zhao Da Dao: "For example, Yue Le and Mi Huang. Their subordinates have already sent people to find a way to reveal the news that Pei Zhan personally led the army south to those two fish lovers. No matter whether the prince's guess will be confirmed or not, this
The scent of a fish always attracts some people to come and try it. Even if the fish is puffer fish, it is poisonous."
Liu Ling glanced at Zhao Da appreciatively and said: "Sometimes I think, if I don't lock you in the Supervisory Yuan and can't move, but give you a hundred thousand troops, I won't have to come to conquer the world in person.
Yes, we just need to prepare some wine to celebrate the victory, okay?"
Zhao Da shook his head and said: "My subordinates only know some small conspiracies that cannot be put on the table. Regarding the art of war and battle formations, I am not even as good as Erlang. Your Majesty thinks highly of your subordinates. If...if your Majesty really thinks that your subordinates will lead the troops in war."
If my ability is stronger, I won’t be left standing in the yard with a sad face all day long.”
Liu Ling laughed and said, "You have the most precious quality in a person, and it's very good."
Zhao Da bowed and thanked, his face that was always so calm turned out to be a little excited. Neither Chen Ziyu nor Zhou Yunbing quite understood what the prince said, what is the most valuable quality of a person. Leaving Chunfeng Lake
Halfway through the palace, Zhou Yunbing finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and cautiously asked the commander, who was resting in the carriage with his eyes closed: "Sir, what is it?"
He did not ask clearly, but he knew that the conductor made the master know what he was asking.
The corner of Zhao Da's mouth curled up, and he opened his eyes to look at the scenery outside the window: "People, the most rare thing is to have self-knowledge."
Zhou Yunbing was stunned for a moment, then relieved.
Chen Ziyu did not leave with Zhao Da. She was the stall owner of the Third Division of the Supervisory Yuan, and she was also Liu Ling's woman. After fulfilling her duties as the stall owner of the Third Division, she always had to perform her duties as a wife.
Fortunately, in broad daylight, Liu Ling just held her in his arms, kissed her and caressed her hard, and did not do anything too extreme. Although, Liu Ling had a
He has the title of invincible in the field, but under the watchful eyes of countless guards from all over the place, assassins from all over the place, and his personal barracks, he will not share the beauty of Chen Ziyu with others.
Chen Ziyu got off Liu Ling's knees and knelt down on the grass next to Liu Ling. His chin rested on Liu Ling's thigh. He looked at Liu Ling with his beautiful eyes and asked: "Your Majesty... I sent Si Quan'er to Ming."
Zhou, is the prince angry?"
While Liu Ling reeled in the fishing rod, he shook his head and said: "No, I just didn't expect that after going through such a tragic incident, she would still have the courage to carry out the task. I asked you to put her next to you, and that's also true.
I don’t want her to be ruined just now. It seems that I underestimated her.”
Chen Ziyu thought for a while and said: "The world says that women are weak and can be bullied. In fact, perhaps a woman who speaks harshly is more terrifying than a man. As long as she has obsessions in her heart, such a woman is terrifying and respectable.
It’s also pitiful.”
"Pitiful?"
Liu Ling paused, shook his head and said: "Women, like men, do not need pity from others. It is good for a person to have obsessions in his heart. Only by persistence can he achieve something. If she wants revenge, let her go.
There must be a belief that supports her to live. When she takes revenge, you can find another opportunity to persuade her that living is always good."
When Liu Ling saw Si Quan'er for the first time, he saw a desire to die in Si Quan'er's eyes. Si Quan'er is still alive, but she feels that it would be shameless to die like this.
Meeting with her spies.
"Actually, it's good for you to send her out to do things. Let her always feel that she is working hard to avenge her dead brothers, so that her life will be more fulfilling. When I handed this matter over to you, I
You know that Si Quan'er will definitely beg you to let her go to the north, and you will definitely agree. In fact, no matter whether Pei Zhan is really in the Zhou army returning south, this battle will still be fought.
The news has been passed on to Yue Le and Mi Huang. Even if the news is false, these two people will not be able to bear it anymore. The only reason why they need to confirm whether Pei Zhan is there is actually just to give Zhu Sanqi of Jizhou a chance.
.”
He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Chen Ziyu's face: "After the Zhou army returns to the south from the next battle, she will feel that she is a useful person and is avenging her brothers."
Chen Ziyu asked: "If Pei died in battle, the Ding'an army was destroyed, and Si Quan'er felt that she had taken revenge, would she still live?"
Liu Ling nodded and said: "I will give her a bigger goal, to avenge all the innocent people in the world who died."
Chen Ziyu was silent, leaning into Liu Ling's arms, but felt an inexplicable touch in his heart. (To be continued)
