"Congratulations to Mr. Shen on his reinstatement." I said lightly.
His shoulders trembled slightly, and he finally raised his eyes to look at me. His eyes were so clear that they seemed to be filled with warm moonlight. Normally, I love his eyes very much, and I can't help kissing his eyelids repeatedly. , This life was drowned in his deep affection, and this life was not in vain. Just looking at it at this moment, but I feel extremely stinging.
"Thank you princess." He bowed slightly.
At this moment, Mo Wei was also sitting upright, no longer smiling.
The fingertips stabbed hard in the palm of his hand - he didn't have long nails, so he didn't feel refreshed at this time.
That's all... With a wry smile, he sighed in his heart. What a joke, how could I, Li Yingyu, be such an easily hurt person!
"Mo Wei, please present the discoveries you have made during this period of time."
Ah Che... there's really not much my sister can do...
Mo Wei replied yes, and presented the detailed topographic map of Fujian and Vietnam that he had prepared, which clearly marked all the offensive and defensive points and possible ambush points in great detail. Another map of the same scale was spread out, and that one was a map of soldiers.
I twitched the corners of my mouth, "It's hard for you, I thought you stayed in the county office all day doing nothing, but unexpectedly you got a lot of things."
Mo Wei also twitched his lips in response. "Princess congratulations." So he introduced the battlefields of Minyue Kingdom to me one by one.
I turned to look at Liu Che. "This battle is going to be fought in the territory of Minyue Kingdom?"
"In this way, we can reduce our losses."
"However, the terrain of Minyue Kingdom is very unfavorable to us, and may increase casualties." Yanli and I have personally experienced this. "Furthermore, Minyue Kingdom has numerous passes and many points," I casually pointed at three or four places on the map, "it can constitute a lore for our side. If you want to eliminate their vital forces within the borders of Minyue Kingdom, I'm afraid it will take Great price to pay. Added to this is the lengthening of supply lines, which is another inconvenience."
"But Zhejiang County can't stand the flames of war." Shen Dongli opened his mouth, "The total population of Zhejiang County has doubled in the past two years, to a total of 170,000, especially concentrated in the Wuyi area at the border with Minyue Kingdom." It happens to be where the two rivers meet, so it is very prosperous. "If the army of Minyue Kingdom is allowed to invade, it may cause a devastating blow to Zhejiang County and destroy the achievements of the past few years. One hundred thousand people and ten years of finances will be wiped out."
I stared into his eyes and retorted: "Wuyi is the natural barrier of the Minyue Kingdom. On the one hand, it protects them, and on the other hand, it can also cut off their retreat. If the Minyue Army crosses Wuyi and invades, it will lengthen the They are on the supply line, they cannot fight protracted battles, and we use the plains to fight, the archers shoot a round, the cavalry charges, and the infantry clears the enemy. These three axes are what we are good at. If we can make a quick decision, the loss of Zhejiang County It may not be as you said, and our casualties can be kept to a minimum."
"This is a gamble." He categorically opposed my statement, "It is very difficult to have unscrupulous generals and soldiers who have not fought for a long time. But once the war is protracted, Minyue Kingdom will not need supply lines at all, they will directly Stationed all the way to the north, plundering the border at any time, the direct victim is Zhejiang County. Now Chen Guo can't afford a protracted war in the territory, and the Liang Kingdom in the north is watching. Once the Minyue Kingdom gradually erodes the southern territory, the Liang Kingdom is likely to have a different heart , At that time, the north and the south will echo and fight on two fronts, and we will have no chance of survival."
Liang Guo is ambitious and covetous, and now he wants to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, hmph, is it that easy
I clenched my fists and looked at him, and he looked straight into my eyes without hesitation. I think at that moment, he probably didn't regard me as his jade son, but just regarded me as a monarch-like existence. I am the king, he is the minister, that's all.
Suddenly a little tired, probably because my heart is tired. In this battle, if it is fought inside the country, it is the civilians who are injured, and if it is fought outside the country, it is the soldiers who are injured. Playing inside the country is a gamble, while playing outside the country is a safe bet. The ideas of my master and I are difficult to unify in some places.
I turned to look at Mo Wei, "What do you think?"
"My lord, I second what Lord Shen said."
Heh, I should have known earlier, the two of them have discussed it.
In fact, where to fight, it has nothing to do with me...
Can I change what Shen Dongli decided? The principles he insisted on, I can't say enough about him.
You can't bet on the lives of the people—in this person's heart, I can be a bet, but the people can't be.
"Ache, what do you say?" I turned to look at him.
Liu Che stared at the map for a long time before finally making a decision.
"Bai Fan is the main general and will attack Minyue Kingdom first!"
"War without declaration?" I was taken aback.
"No." The smile on the corner of Liu Che's mouth was meaningful, "How can I let Chen Guo be accused of injustice. The reason has already been prepared."
Hearing what he said, I'm not interested in knowing the reason. After all, I need a fuse. From ancient times to the present, several wars did not start with a big thing, sometimes it was true, sometimes it was false.
"Since you've made a decision..." I glanced over at the first two people, loosened my clenched fists, and said weakly, "Then let them all back down."
Liu Che glanced at me in surprise, and repeated unconsciously: "Everyone back down?"
Did he think that I would leave Master to talk alone
I originally thought so, but I didn't know what to say, and it seemed unnecessary to blame him. If I cried and vented my grievances, I felt that I was too naive...
They are all people who have experienced things, and I am not the child of those years. Master, since you want to push me to this position, you must not treat me as a child anymore.
"Stand back..."
I hugged my knees, stretched my hands into the chess box, listened to the sound of clattering, and let the icy cold touch slide against the back of my palm, just to refresh myself.
"I have a few words that I want to say to the princess."
I paused and didn't look back at him. I was silent for a moment and said, "Oh, then you can stay."
The others, Liu Che and Mo Wei, all left quietly.
"If you have anything to say, let's talk." I still turned my back to him and said lightly.
He didn't answer, just wrapped his arms around me from behind and held my cold hand. He may want to warm me, but unfortunately his hands are not much warmer than mine.
The afternoon sun cast a layer of warm color on the hands we held together, but it was fake after all, cold, and still cold.
"Yu'er..." His voice sounded like a sigh, gently falling in my ears.
"Well, Master." Since he is no longer Lord Shen, I am no longer that princess.
"Do you hate me?"
"I don't hate." I lowered my head and played with his slender fingers, "I will never hate you, but I will resent you to some extent." I don't hate you, I don't lie to you, I hate you, I also tell you.
You won't lie to me, it's just that you always hide many things from me. In fact, each other, how could I be completely honest with you. It's just that I don't talk about some things because I think you know it without saying anything. And some things you don't say, but you think you shouldn't let me know, or you don't want me to know.
"Master." I asked him, "When did you get in touch with Liu Che?"
"After Fang Xiaohou discovered your whereabouts, he reported back to the imperial capital. At that time, His Majesty wanted to come to see you, but Mo Wei stopped him. His Majesty told the truth, but Mo Wei couldn't stop him, so he passed it on to me. information."
"Tell me the truth? What is 'truth'?"
The master was stunned. "His Majesty didn't tell you?"
I shook my head, "I didn't have time to ask, he didn't have time to say."
The master was silent for a moment, as if hesitating whether to say it or not. After a long time, he made a decision. "Diagnosed by the imperial physician, His Majesty has heart failure and time is numbered."
Although I was mentally prepared, my mind was still blank the moment I heard the truth.
"It's a genetic disease of the Liu family. My mother and the emperor's uncle are both. Now it's Ah Che's turn, and I'm next." My voice was terribly hoarse. The master held me tightly in his arms, "No, you will be fine..."
Master, are you comforting me, or comforting yourself...
I patted the back of his hand and said with a dry smile, "Don't be nervous, I'll just talk about it, I've been a disaster for thousands of years, how can I die so easily. I'm not like Liu Che..." My throat suddenly became dry, "That boy, kill him!" There are so many people, retribution..." But I suddenly remembered that the master's hands were covered with blood, and my heart tightened - if he has retribution, it will be retribution on me... No matter how he treats me, in my heart, I will always I can't hate him...
"He's dying, so he wanted me to take over. You were persuaded, so you let him in—do you want to wake up my memory?" He tried so many times to stimulate me to recall the past, but unfortunately he failed. I was born with a tendency The animal instinct of avoiding disadvantages, if not for Yanli, I would probably never want to think about those messes in my life.
"Yu'er, once His Majesty is away, the court will be in turmoil, foreign enemies will be around, and the people will be in dire straits. I can't ignore it..."
I knew it, I knew it... I knew that there would be a day when you would sell me to your Jiangshan Sheji. I alone can't compare to tens of thousands of them.
"Master..." I lost my strength, leaned back, and fell into his arms, "My life, Li Yingyu, belongs to you. If you want me to sit on this throne, I will sit. If you want peace in this world, I will take it." Diligent in government and loving the people, you want to make achievements for a long time, and you want to shine in the annals of history, so I will be a good pair with you, what do you think?"
I think, after all, I have accepted my fate. To this man, I can't say any words of rejection. Even if he wants my life, I can still smile and gouge out my heart to him, and he also counts my helplessness. reject…
