Seeing that he seemed worried, Luo Zhao said anxiously: "Pavilion Master..."
Yu Cang raised his hand to stop, "I have made up my mind, don't say any more. Don't stalemate the relationship with Wei Guo, agree to Wei Guo first, and as for when to send troops, we must make proper preparations."
Several people understood what he meant and agreed to do whatever they wanted to do here, at their own pace and not in a hurry.
Luo Zhao looked sad for a moment and fell silent.
Tian Zhengyang and Ma Changan glanced at Luo Zhao's disappointed reaction, glanced at each other subconsciously, with a slight smile in their eyes, and both said at the same time: "Yes!"
Yu Cang waved his hand: "Everyone, please step aside."
"Yes!" The three of them bowed their hands and retreated. Before leaving, they all bowed their hands to the sleeping Xia Lingpei. As long as they meant what they meant, they left quietly without disturbing His Majesty's sleep.
After staring at the map for a while, Yu Cang suddenly sighed, "Yanshan Ming, Qi Wuhen, if I get one of them, why would I, the Qin Dynasty, have to worry about it?"
After the founding of the Qin State, he deeply realized that state affairs were far more complicated and difficult to deal with than matters in the spiritual world. They were intricately involved in all aspects and were too energy-consuming. He had not practiced quietly for a long time, and his mind was full of all kinds of things.
A messy thing.
There were many things that he shouldn't have to worry about, but the emperor was incompetent, and he wouldn't worry if everything was left to Zhao's old ministers. Zhao Huanghai Wuji's whereabouts are unknown at the moment.
After shaking his head with emotion for a while, he turned around, walked to Xia Lingpei, and respectfully shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
After shouting several times and getting no response, I had to reach out and pull a few times in a slightly rude way.
"Well..." Xia Lingpei woke up suddenly. He looked around and found that there was no one there. He subconsciously raised his sleeves to wipe the saliva from his mouth, stood up and asked, "How was the discussion?"
Yu Cang smiled bitterly, cupped his hands and said, "It's late at night. Your Majesty, be careful of catching a cold. Go back to sleep." After saying that, he waved his hand and two eunuchs came over immediately.
After the emperor left in a daze, he slowly walked out of the military base and stood on the high steps looking up at the stars.
Suddenly someone came up from the bottom of the steps. It was Luo Zhao. He did not leave, but climbed up the steps to salute.
Yu Cang: "General, is there anything else you can do?"
Luo Zhao said unwillingly: "Pavilion Master, the two generals' thoughts are purely over-concerned. Yan and Han do not want to see Jin become powerful. As long as they communicate properly at this time, Yan and Han will not take advantage of the situation."
If they enter, otherwise they will occupy the Qin State and face the Jin State's tiger and wolf troops before they can gain a foothold. This is definitely not what they want to see. The situation of the Wei State is indeed not comparable to the past. Once the Wei State collapses, Qin will
The price the country will pay if it sends troops again will be even greater. The sooner Qin sends troops and the sooner the three countries join forces, the more advantageous it will be. I hope the master of the cabinet can make a decision as soon as possible! The last general is willing to personally lead the troops into Xiping Pass to fight!"
Yu Cang: "I understand the general's intention, but does the general know my intention?"
Luo Zhao: "I will listen attentively."
Yucang: "I admire the general's courage in personally leading the troops in a battle. But have you ever thought about the fact that Yitian and Ma are secretly obstructing them. The soldiers are their soldiers and the generals are their generals. If you personally lead the troops, you will
How about it? You have been leading the army for many years. You should know that although the people below do not dare to resist military orders, how can you still fight this war once the people below are all obeying and disobeying them? "
Luo Zhao was silent. He was not stupid. He had been making things difficult for Tian and Ma for so long. How could he not know what they were thinking? Yu Cang was right. Tian and Ma would not let him accomplish that feat. He wished he could eat it.
Defeat is possible.
After thinking about it, he understood what the other party was worried about and asked: "Since the Pavilion Master knows, why do you sit back and watch these two people harm the country for their own selfish reasons?"
Yu Cang: "So what if I know? Can I kill them directly, or can I directly deprive them of their military rights? It's easy to kill them, but how can you convince the public by killing them for no reason? I said that the soldiers are their soldiers, and they will be
What will be the consequences of their general's rash actions? You have seen the situation in Weiguo, can anyone with good intentions let go of the opportunity to cause chaos?"
"So, General, please be patient. Being too hasty may not be a good thing. Slowing down may not be a bad thing. When the situation deteriorates to a certain point, the two of them will definitely support the dispatch of troops. Now, let's take more time to prepare ourselves.
It’s not a bad thing, don’t you think?”
Luo Zhao: "It's natural for the Pavilion Master to strategize, but war cannot be compared to political affairs. Those who fight must make decisive decisions at the moment, otherwise they will miss the opportunity. The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. Once the opportunity is missed, it may cause irreparable losses. In the end,
I will be really worried."
Yu Cang: "General, don't you understand why I am holding the position of the Great Sima of the Qin State but not standing up? Having said that, I will not hide it from the general. I prefer you, General, to hold the position of the Great Sima.
There is a vacancy for a general here. But we need a chance!"
"Even if we have to send troops, I will not let you personally lead the troops, because there will be people who will hold you back. They will not let you do this. If we go to war, they will lead the troops, and I will let them lead the troops.
It's a good thing if they send troops to win, but if they lose...I said, I can't kill them for no reason, I need an excuse, I need a reason to make everyone speechless!"
"The war is defeated. Those who engage in military law and harm the country will have no use in asking for mercy. They will be executed! After the execution, I will immediately push you to take over. With the leaderless, it is a good opportunity for you to take over and reorganize the army. The general has been in charge of the army for many years, as long as he is given
If the general has the opportunity, and with my full cooperation, I think the general will have a way to clean it up smoothly!"
He raised his hand and patted Luo Zhao on the shoulder, "It's not that I don't listen to your advice, but I want to take it slow. Taking it slow is good for everyone, don't you think?"
Luo Zhao looked helpless. The other party had reached this point, what else could he say? He could only resign.
He left alone, powerless, and melancholy in his heart. He was not happy at all because of Yu Cang's words of support for him, but instead felt worried because of the situation in Weiguo.
He once served as the Grand Governor of the Song Dynasty. When he commanded the people of the Song Dynasty, in addition to dedicating himself to the military affairs of the Song Dynasty, he also inevitably spent his energy studying the military affairs of other countries in order to prepare for emergencies. This was the pattern destined for his original position.
Jin invaded Wei and Qi not once or twice, but multiple times. But this time, Jin's attack style was really different.
He changed his fierce style and became extremely feminine and vicious. It was completely different from Jin's usual tough and tough style. His methods changed drastically!
The actions prepared before the battle were ruthless, steady and accurate, and they hit Weiguo's Achilles' heel with precision in an instant, beyond everyone's expectation.
No one expected that the Jin State would start by provoking a fight between Xuanwei's sister and brother. Although the method of sowing discord is common, this time it is very different. Weiguo is not a dead person. How can a country be so easy for others to succeed?
It is possible for people to make such a big move easily. If it was really so easy, why wait until this time in Jin State to do it?
But the Jin State did it in one fell swoop this time, taking advantage of the conflict between Xuan Wei's sister and brother, and bloodbathed many of Wei's most capable military officers in one fell swoop.
Such a vicious but well-placed attack was definitely not a hasty move. It must have been an action that had been planned for a long time and must have been carefully prepared in advance.
Therefore, Luo Zhao was very worried. Since he had been preparing for a long time, he would be sure not to take action once he did.
Yucang said to slow down, he was worried that the Jin State might not give this side a chance to slow down.
But what can he do? He has said everything that needs to be said. Yu Cang and others each have their own plans, and it is useless what he says.
Fortunately, this is not the first time he has been in such a position. He has been in the Song Dynasty court for a long time and knows that such things are unavoidable. They are unavoidable in all dynasties. It is inevitable for factions to restrain each other. He has already adapted to it.
"Alas!" While walking slowly, Luo Zhao, who was full of melancholy, looked up at the starry night sky and let out a long sigh.
…
"came back."
Zhuang Hong, the Queen Mother of Qin, was sitting in the hall waiting for her son. When she saw her son coming back, she asked.
Xia Lingpei quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Mother, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
Zhuang Hong: "Your Majesty, haven't you rested yet?"
Xia Lingpei's mouth showed a hint of self-deprecation, "My son still has military and national affairs to deal with."
Zhuang Hong: "You handle it? What is it? Is Jin going to attack Wei?"
Xia Lingpei hummed, walked to the side and sat down, and replied: "The State of Wei is asking for help from the State of Qin, hoping that the State of Qin can send troops to fight against the Jin together. They are discussing at the military plane."
Zhuang Hong: "How did the discussion go?"
"Some people suggested sending troops immediately, others suggested delaying sending troops..." Xia Lingpei explained the situation he heard, and he said it clearly. He heard what he said when he was asleep, so it was obvious that he was not asleep at the time.
Zhuang Hong: "Then do you think Tian and Ma are right, or do you think Luo Zhao is right?"
Xia Lingpei pondered for a while and said slowly: "Son, I don't know who is right or wrong, but one thing I know is that Tian and Ma have selfish motives. The other thing is that after all, Luo Zhao has experienced the army of a country, Tian and Ma.
A person’s appearance may not be comparable to that of Luo Zhao.”
Zhuang Hong yelled, "I don't understand what you are saying, but looking at you like this, I can see it quite clearly."
Xia Lingpei showed his self-deprecation again, "My son is not a fool. He has been involved in government affairs for so long. No matter how understanding he is, he can still understand something about it."
Indeed, as he said, he was just inexperienced in the world before and was not a fool. After being exposed to something for a long time, he had some sense of it.
Zhuang Hong nodded slightly and waved, "Come here."
Xia Lingpei didn't know why he asked him to come over, but he still got up and walked over.
Zhuang Hong pointed in front of him, "Kneel down!"
Xia Lingpei was stunned.
Zhuang Hong: "I want you to kneel down."
Xia Lingpei shook the hem of his clothes and knelt down honestly.
Zhuang Hong leaned slightly and looked into his son's eyes, "Let me ask you, what do you think of your teacher Niu Youdao's ability?"
Xia Lingpei was stunned for a moment and replied: "My teacher is very talented and talented. He was able to help the Shang Chaozong become the leader of Nanzhou from poverty. The entire Yan Kingdom also depends on his face. The teacher is naturally a very capable person."
Zhuang Hong: "Then do you still remember the parting words your teacher gave you when he saw you for the last time?"
Xia Lingpei: "Of course I will keep it in mind."
Zhuang Hong: "Repeat it again."
Xia Lingpei was stunned again, and finally said slowly: "The teacher asked me at that time whether I wanted to rule the world, or whether I wanted to live a safe life. At that time, my son had no idea of ruling the world, and he didn't know that he would become the emperor of Qin. Naturally, at that time
It’s for peace.”
"The teacher said, it's better to pray for peace. Living well is better than anything else. The teacher said, you are good like this. Remember, if you continue like this in the future, you will understand nothing and know nothing. Just eat, drink and have fun, and nothing else will matter.
Don't worry about it, just pretend to be confused and let Yu Cang and others take care of everything."
"The teacher said that as long as you remember his words, you can ensure a life of prosperity and wealth, and no matter what happens, you can also keep a safe life. The teacher said that if I disobey his instructions, I will be very troubled in the future, and our mother and son will even be in danger. The teacher said
, if one day my heart is about to move, I can think about his words, whether I am willing to obey him without being forced, it is my own choice, and I will bear the consequences myself! This is what he said."
