Chapter 42 is to let him experience
the morality of the three emperors and the five emperors,
the fame of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.
The Seven Heroes and the Five Hegemons fought against each other in the Spring and Autumn Period,
rising and falling in an instant.
There are several lines of names and surnames in the history of Qing Dynasty, and countless barren hills in Beimang.
The fields of the forefathers are harvested by those of the later generations.
It is said that there is a great struggle between tigers and tigers.
In Linghuye's study, on the white wall facing the big desk where he works, there is such a poem written with dragons and phoenixes. Linghuye can see it when he looks up when he is working.
This was written by the old master Yu Entai to Linghuye when he was traveling outside the customs more than ten years ago.
The meaning is self-explanatory.
When Li Guohua came in, he saw Ling Huye standing under this adverb again and pondering it carefully, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Old Master has always been compassionate, but he never thought about it. Once the tide of history dances, we cannot do whatever we want. At best, we can just follow the tide and try our best to find it. It’s just something that’s good for us. If Marshal Linghu doesn’t do it, won’t Marshal Zhang and Marshal Li do it?”
Ling Huye sat down with a smile: “Old Master’s calligraphy is truly outstanding. I have been copying the lyrics for more than ten years, but I still can’t get its charm. When I look at it in detail, it turns out to be a three-legged cat, which looks completely different.”
"Commander, Zhang Ruo has been standing outside the camp all morning and has turned into a snowman. He is a scholar, he is not young anymore, and his body is weak. He really suffered from the cold and made the commander fall behind." Li Guohua road.
Ling Huye chuckled, picked up a pen and wrote his name on a roll of official documents, and said: "He is still dressed quite thickly. In this weather, it is not possible for him to carry it for two or three days. What's the problem? By the way, let the duty officer in front give him some ginger soup or something to keep him warm!"
Li Guohua laughed: "The commander-in-chief also taught Zhishu that those who want to achieve great things must be broad-minded. Kuang Guang, why is it his turn to be stingy? "
"I just want Zhang Ruo to experience the snow outside the pass. One year, I spent more than thirty years crawling on the ice and guarding the border for Great Qin, but he got into trouble." Linghuye snorted coldly: "It's a pity that he was not killed in Qingshui Henan, and now he is in Zhenwu City. , On the contrary, it is impossible to die. Do you think it is irritating or not?”
“Commander, it’s really disgusting that those people brought Zhang Ruo outside the customs. If he dies, people outside will do it. It doesn't matter if the Marshal really wants to dominate the world, but he wants to take revenge for personal gain, and there is no room for mercy. But the Marshal wants to be in the world, so he has to have this reputation, so don't kill him. Zhang Ruo is a guy who is particularly capable of causing trouble and is fearless. If he really stays outside the customs, he doesn’t know what will happen in the future. "Li Guohua was a little worried: "Zhang Ruo is just a troublemaker. Now that it’s involved with Tai’an City, it’s even more difficult.”
"There are still masters in the imperial court!" Speaking of this, Linghuye couldn't help but sigh, "Thousands of miles away, but they can still accurately grasp the interests between me, Xiao Changche and Tai'an City. I was overwhelmed with just one move. I can only say that I admire you so much! Guohua, guess who is the one who made the move?”
“Commander, there’s no need to guess. I'm afraid they all have a share in this matter. They have the same goal! By dragging the commander outside the pass and not being able to distract himself from the pass, they have achieved their goal. "Li Guohua said, "So Zhang Ruo, It must be handled well."
"Let's do it according to the plan we discussed before. Since we are going to serve outside the customs, then go to Yuan'an and become a county magistrate!" Ling Huye put his pen on the case and said. .
"Yuan'an is too close to Beiyuan. It has always been the place where the most intense strangulations between us were. Go there, in case something happens?" Li Guohua hesitated.
As Linghuye’s number one adviser and confidant, he needs to consider more than just the present. As he said before, if Linghuye wants to dominate the world, then this reputation is extremely important. .
Linghuye guarded the border for the country for decades, preventing Beiyuan from moving even half a step south. Compared with some people in the pass, Linghuye's reputation was naturally much better. It would be too unworthy if he failed because of Zhang Ruo.
“Over the hundreds of years since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, how many good men of the Qin Dynasty have died fighting against the barbarians! After Linghu Ye took charge of the army outside the Pass, how many sons of my Linghu family died in battles outside the Pass? Everyone died. , Zhang Ruo can't die for the country and the people?" Ling Huye dismissed it: "What's more, Yuan'an is Xiao Changche's defense area, and the primary person responsible for Zhang Ruo's death there is Xiao Changche. , Guohua, please arrange this matter first, make a plan, and let the news out first."
"I understand." Li Guohua understood: "If Zhang Ruo is not dead, it will be a big deal. The handsome man has a broad mind, and some people do not care about their relatives. Zhang Ruo was a sinner and was appointed by the commander as the magistrate of a county as soon as he arrived outside the customs. But if he died, it could be blamed on Xiao Changche, and he could also force Xiao Changche to have no choice but to be with the commander. Get closer. After going down, I have to gather the public opinion of this vanguard."
Ling Huye nodded, "Information from the north, although Beiyuan suffered a lot, it still defeated the biggest one from the south. The fighting among several groups of barbarian tribes has basically calmed down. They will need a few years to digest the fruits of their victory. These few years are also the most critical years for us to dig deep holes, accumulate food widely, and move forward. These six words that Zhi said back then really won my heart!"
"The key to Tai'an City is Li Dachui. Zhou Zhi is just a warrior at best. Without Li Dachui, Tai'an City is actually nothing to worry about. "Li Guohua said. "Taian City still needs to focus on negotiation!" Linghu Ye said: "Zhou Zhi and his son have no sense of belonging to Da Qin at all. I feel that as long as I give enough, it will not be difficult to get them to join."
"What Xiao Changche wants is to wipe out Beiyuan. When the time comes, the commander-in-chief only needs to entrust Guanwai to him. At least he will not hold you back, but what the father and son in Tai'an City want What is it?" Li Guohua was helpless: "I can't tell, I can't figure it out!"
"Why bother guessing!" Ling Huye waved his hand, "When the tide recedes, all the truth will be revealed. . Guohua, the most important thing is the power in our hands. Absolute power can ignore all restrictions and rules. What about the reserves in our hands now? "Li Guohua said: "Give me more. In three years, I can save food for two years, Commander-in-Chief."
"So, what else do I have to worry about?" Linghuye laughed: "You should focus more on this. Just let the magistrates do the things that are just a matter of course.”
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will come.
Linghu Zhishu pushed open the door and entered, his face full of joy.
"Uncle, oh, no, Marshal, that guy is in trouble!" Linghu Zhishu smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears: "Who do you think is the person who did it? It's Wan Feng's son. Wan You, we caught one and interrogated him on the spot. He was not tortured, but we just showed him the gadgets in the torture room. He was the one who killed those three towns. Chen Liang, but Wan You, followed Wan Feng’s order and went to Chen Liang’s jurisdiction, and then led a team of people to do it. Almost all the money obtained was transported back to Zhenwu City.”
< br>"It's so powerful that you are so stupid!" Li Guohua shook his head: "By the way, what was Chen Liang's reaction?"
"I poured the things sent by Wan You into the mouth of one of Wan You's followers. Then we locked up the follower with Chen Liang. After we interrogated Wan You, we went to see Chen Liang. The follower would have died long ago. Chen Liang saw this man die in front of him, so he probably wouldn't believe it," Linghu Zhishu said.
Linghuye waved his hand: "Since the evidence is conclusive, let's arrest people! The money and food I promised to the sergeants must be distributed as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Linghu Zhishu turned around excitedly Then he ran out.
Outside the gate, Zhang Ruo has been standing here all morning, and Wu De beside him can only accompany him helplessly. The two of them are covered with snow, and their eyebrows and beards are covered with ice. Son, even though he made complete preparations when he went out in the morning and wore extremely thick clothes, he could not stop the cold weather. Fortunately, Wu De was still a martial artist and had a strong body, so he could barely hold on. Zhang Ruo, however, was so cold that his two rows of teeth were chattering and chattering.
"Bachelor, why don't we just forget about it today? It'll be bad if you get frozen!" Wu De advised.
Zhang Ruo shook his head stubbornly: "If you retreat in the face of difficulties, what else can you do besides letting Linghuye laugh? Either you don't do something, or you have to stick to it until you do it, otherwise you will only make people laugh."
Shaking off the snow on his body, Zhang Ruo stretched his neck and shouted loudly: "Sinner Zhang Ruo, please see Commander Linghu!"
I shouted several times, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him.
Even the two rows of snowmen standing at the entrance of the camp, none of them seemed to have seen him, not even turning their heads to look at him.
Wu De was also secretly shocked.
The guards standing guard at the gate of the camp changed their posts once an hour. During this hour, these guards were really like sculptures. They didn't even move. The falling snow had completely transformed them into There was a snowman, and only one face was left outside. If you didn't blink and breathe, you really wouldn't be able to tell that these were two rows of living people.
Is the commander-in-chief so strict in managing the troops in the camp?
This is basically unimaginable in Chang'an.
Thinking again about the battle with the barbarians a few days ago, there is no need to go into details about the elite soldiers outside the pass. If these soldiers and horses really enter the pass one day, which army and horse within the pass can match them?
I am afraid that even the elites of the eight southern towns will be dwarfed by them.
While I was thinking wildly there, the gate of the camp suddenly opened, and then a familiar figure walked out.
