"Your Excellency, are you going to Fengyu Pavilion?"
The brigade stopped, and Cheng Dalei and Lao Dao sat opposite each other on the roadside. He also understood that this Lao Dao suddenly appeared, definitely not to pretend to be a superior person in front of him.
"You already know about this." Cheng Dalei smiled: "It seems the news spreads very quickly."
"What are you doing at Fengyu Pavilion?" said the old man.
"Haha, Yang Longting is going to give me a city, with me as the city's lord, and the people of Youzhou will also be there. It will probably be a commendation meeting or something."
"Master, it's better not to tell him such confidential matters," Xu Shenji said.
The old Taoist sighed softly, seeming to be worried about the country and the people: "You really don't understand the key points of the heroic leader Cheng Zhai."
"What's the meaning?"
"Not only is there no commendation ceremony in the Fengyu Pavilion, but it is filled with officers and soldiers. Yang Longting wants to entertain Master Cheng, instead of delicacies, but swords and guns. How does Master Cheng feel?"
Cheng Dalei was shocked. He couldn't understand what was going on, but he knew that there must be some truth to what the old Taoist said.
"You still want to ask the Taoist priest for advice?"
The veteran touched his bruised cheek and thought that Cheng Dalei's attack just now was really serious.
"Master Cheng's victory in this battle not only damaged the vitality of the Rong clan, but also solved the crisis of the empire. Master Cheng and the people of the world have made meritorious deeds. With this battle, it is not too much for Master Cheng to be crowned king."
.”
"Could it be that Yang Longting took my credit?"
"It's not greed."
"That's good." Cheng Dalei and others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Because the credit belongs to Yang Longting."
"What?"
"Think of Yang Longting, the king of Youzhou, what a heroic figure. He fought against the Rong tribe without retreating and wiped out hundreds of thousands of enemies. No wonder people all over the world now say that he is the imperial god of war. Countless literati and talented people sang for him generously, like a brothel singer.
His heroic deeds are all in the mouths and mouths of teahouse storytellers. I heard that the imperial court is preparing to carve a monument and erect a biography for Yang Long in Qingniu Mountain, so that future generations will remember what King Youzhou has done."
"asshole!"
"We did that!"
"A coward like Yang Longting only knows how to run away when he sees the Rong people. He has never fought a single battle."
Before Cheng Dalei could say anything, his men were already furious and wanted to fight Yang Longting on the spot.
Cheng Dalei signaled everyone to calm down and said, "How could Yang Longting be so despicable and take our credit for himself? Since the court doesn't understand, we must find a way to tell them the truth and let them know what Yang Longting did."
Why, don’t let a coward be praised as a hero.”
In fact, we are fighting this battle without any intention to make any achievements. Our thoughts are to protect our country and our country. We are just trying to survive. But this does not mean that we can watch the things we shed blood and sacrifice for and be regarded as the same as others.
On his head, let Xiong become a hero respected by people all over the world.
"Master Cheng is planning to expose it to the court...it's no use." said the old man.
"Uh... why doesn't it work?"
"Master Cheng, do you think that as long as you win a battle, the imperial court's reward will come down? It's not that simple. The same thing, if done to different people, may have completely different results. For example, Yang Longting, he is the capital city
The people of the Cui family, how many connections the Cui family has in the court, and how many people can benefit from this battle, so a defeat can be a victory, and a coward can become a god of war. And like the northwest general Lin Wentian, who fought to the death
The clan refused to retreat, and in the end the army was defeated due to lack of food and grass support. However, it was regarded as a shame for the empire. General Lin did not die at the hands of the Rong clan, but died at the hands of the imperial court. After his death, his grave was cast aside."
Cheng Dalei fell silent. He was indeed too naive when it came to temple politics.
Is it true that no one knows what Yang Longting did? No, many people don’t want to know. As long as the eunuch next to Emperor Ming said: King Youzhou did a good job, countless people can benefit from this matter.
to gain benefits, so Yang Longting would be praised as the Imperial God of War.
And who is Cheng Dalei? He is just a bandit who is inferior to the fourth class. If he wins the battle, who can gain political resources from it?
You said you were the one who fought the war, bah, you are a bandit and you want to compete with the Imperial God of War for credit, why don't you just urinate and see what you look like.
"Now Yang Longting has become the idol of the imperial soldiers, and it is no problem to be promoted to an official position. But many people in Youzhou know that Yang Longting actually has nothing to do with this matter. He is a mountain man named Cheng Dalei.
It was done by a thief. If he wanted to spend the full moon and everything go well, Yang Longting had to control this bandit, and there were two methods of control. One was to turn him into one of his own. However, this bandit's usual behavior was obviously not that good.
Obedient master, then we have to use another method of control..." Guo Fanren looked at Cheng Dalei.
"Kill." Cheng Dalei uttered two words.
Guo Fanren nodded slightly.
Cheng Dalei took a deep breath and soaked his clothes with cold sweat. All the joy yesterday disappeared in an instant. He was just a bandit, and he had no idea about the methods in these temples. If Guo Fanren hadn't pointed him out today, he would have been like this
In a dream, one does not know that one is about to die.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your advice. I cannot thank you enough. I would like to ask Taoist Priest to give you some more guidance on how we should go next." Cheng Dalei bowed and bowed deeply.
"Youzhou fought beautifully on the front line. The king of Youzhou and the other city lords have all contributed. Now everyone is good to you, me and everyone. Such a beautiful flower and a full moon will definitely not be ruined by a bandit. Now I want to kill you.
He is definitely not a Youzhou King. The entire Youzhou will be a hunting ground for you all to be rounded up. Before the soldiers arrive, you should disperse early."
Cheng Dalei stood up and gave another salute: "Thank you so much, Taoist Priest, for giving me some guidance and clearing up the mystery."
Guo Fanren stood up and returned the salute: "The main force of Cheng Village resists the Rong tribe. The nobles in the temple don't know it, but the people in the world know it in their hearts."
Cheng Dalei turned around and faced everyone in the village: "Brothers, there is always a banquet in the world. Let's say goodbye today. If we are destined to meet again in the future, we will meet again."
"Master, let's not leave. We will have a fight with them. We will all fight off the Rong tribe, and we are afraid they won't."
Cheng Dalei shook his head. Now all the officers and soldiers in Youzhou want to kill them. These people don't have the guts to fight against the Rong people, but they have a lot of courage to fight against their own people.
"You can break out from Qingniu Mountain, which has not been blocked by the soldiers. If you leave now, you still have a chance."
"Master, let's go together."
"The goal is too big to go together, and the situation of the Rong people is even more dangerous. We can only break up into parts. The brothers who can fight will bring a few weak ones. If you can do it without leaving any one behind, then you will not leave any one behind."
Cheng Dalei glanced at everyone. After experiencing this battle, many people had been forged into iron-clad men, but at this moment, he could not stop the tears in his eyes.
Cheng Dalei suddenly grinned and raised his fist in the air.
