Chapter 940 Withered bones in the mound!
Long Lingxiu is a crazy woman. She doesn't listen to anyone's words when she is used to. There is only one person in this world who can advise her. This person is Eunuch Hua who has been following her for decades.
The Henan incident was a blessing from Eunuch Hua, otherwise I really didn’t know what the result would be and how this scene would end.
But even if Eunuch Hua persuaded Long Lingxiu to stop him, it would be useless, because the forces in Jingji and the Central Plains have now lost their balance. Can Lu Zheng let Jingji go at this time? Will Long Lingxiu return to Jingji from Henan to live his previous life? Obviously that is impossible, it is all delusions...
Tan Cheng did not dare to delay any delay, and immediately ordered the army to retreat quickly. In this way, Long Lingxiu's brain was in a flash and the so-called offensive launched in the two rivers was completely disintegrated. Lu Zheng finally caused the strength of the capital to be greatly reduced without any soldiers. At this time, in Bianzhou, everyone's tone in Lu Zheng's convention hall had completely changed.
When the generals discussed the matter, someone immediately suggested: "Now we have dismantled Long Lingxiu's offensive. At this time, we should take advantage of the victory and simply take down the capital. In this way, our north is basically unified, and we only have a small land in Shandong in the whole north, so we have completely grasped the overall situation!"
This proposal immediately received a lot of responses, including Chen Lizhong, who advised Lu Zheng: "Prince, I think this proposal is particularly appropriate. Now that Jingji is eyeing us, it is the most annoying thing. What should we do at this time? We should destroy them all. Only by clearing the Jingji can we have peace in the two rivers and we can rest and recuperate!"
Lu Zheng did not make a clear statement on this proposal because there were many opponents and these people also had their own interests to consider. In this way, Lu Zheng realized a very serious problem, that is, as his strength grew, the forces below now have their own factions and are fighting very fiercely.
What is the result of this situation? The most serious situation is that when everyone discusses things, everyone's considerations are for their own interests, which makes Lu Zheng very alert, because such considerations may lead to extremely serious consequences!
"Your Majesty, the situation of the provincial examination has come out this time. There are many children participating in the provincial examination in the Lianghe area. It should be said that they have achieved considerable results in the provincial examination..." Luo Guancai respectfully reported to Lu Zheng about the relevant matters of the provincial examination.
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I have heard of all this. Luo is doing his job impartially, and everyone below respects you very much! Many of the candidates in the provincial examination are from poor families. We just need to be the only one who can be selected. We must dare to use and use poor scholars, and let them challenge these powerful families. Only in this way can our dynasty have hope and the country has a future!"
Luo Guancai nodded and said, "The prince's words are really a famous saying. With your words, I believe that all the scholars in the world will return to their hearts! Only those who win the hearts of the people in troubled times can win the world. The prince is a person who wins the hearts of the people. If the scholars in the world return to their hearts, why worry about our country not prospering?"
Luo Guancai said this, his eyes were full of colors, while Yang Qingyun narrowed his eyes and stared at Luo Guancai, thinking of many things in his mind. Recently, many people are like Luo Guancai, and all kinds of people are trying to persuade him to advance, and Lu Zheng has also carefully pondered the person who persuaded him to advance.
Some people are for speculation, some are for the family, and some are for the personal future. In short, there are all kinds of people, but few are really considering Lu Zheng!
Given the current situation where Lu Zheng is in, he is surrounded by enemies and falls everywhere. At this time, he may fall into a state of doom if he takes a slight wrong step. In this case, Lu Zheng is not cautious and dares to be arrogant?
But Lu Zheng had ten thousand reasons to believe that Luo Guancai had absolutely no other thoughts. Luo Guancai was really good for Lu Zheng. Of course, his statement was very tactful, which made Lu Zheng easier to accept. No matter how he said that he was a scholar in the world, it was not Lu Zheng deliberately. In Lu Zheng's heart, he just wanted to give scholars a way out.
Thinking of this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but feel moved and said, "Master Luo, the current situation is at a crossroads. When we are discussing today, many strategists suggested that we immediately send troops to target Jingji, take the opportunity to take Jingji and then stabilize. What does Luo think of this proposal?"
Luo Guanzai was stunned for a moment and said, "Weapons are major issues, and they are never easy to move lightly. In addition, although Jingji can be obtained, they can jump over the wall even if they are anxious. People in the world think this is a good opportunity. I am afraid that even the people in Jingji will think it is in danger. In this case, what's the difference between whether you take Jingji or not?
If you take the land in the capital, you still want to grant this land to others. It would be better to let Long Lingxiu live there for the time being. With her strength and character, she can't defend the land in the capital. Since we can't defend it, why should we hurry to take it?
Long Lingxiu is a dry bone in the tomb. There is no need to pay attention to these people at all. We still have to rest and relax. This is a way to relax and relax!"
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Luo Guancai would have such a high-profile argument. Listening to Luo Guancai's words carefully, every word and sentence was full of pearls!
Lu Zheng suddenly realized that Long Lingxiu had not had much threat, and this time he lost his troops and generals. There were only a few people in the capital, so he was not worried that Long Lingxiu would recruit soldiers and expand his power. In this case, if Lu Zheng wanted to go all the way and force the other party desperately, maybe Long Lingxiu would bite him hard even if he jumped over the wall. This bite would be three points in the bone!
Now I just ignore her and let her make trouble in the capital. Long Lingxiu no longer has the ability to pose a threat to the two rivers. So why do you need to cause trouble to the people and money to provoke a war?
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Zheng was very excited and said happily: "I suddenly realized what Master Luo said. I, Lu Zheng, have been busy for so many years, what are the actions of the soldiers and horses? What they do is not just for the people of the world. Only when the world is stable can the people be rich and the country and the country be strong.
Now that the two rivers have recuperated, people are at ease, and Master Luo has led the reliable position, and the talent selection has entered a very benign track. Within a few years of development, the two rivers and Liaodong under my rule will become unprecedentedly rich and powerful. Under such circumstances, is it that important to how much territory I occupy?
The first thing to do is to return to the world is that people must think about returning home. Only in this way can the world be settled. It is easy to fight by force alone, but the consequences are also great! I understand that I will not visit the capital, and it is important to rest and recuperate within three years. We will not fight again!”
After Lu Zheng said these words, his heart became extremely calm. You should know that before today, he was thinking about places like Shandong, Jingji, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road and Lingnan Road.
Because these places were not conquered for a day, Dakang would be divided into pieces and unable to be unified. But now Lu Zheng suddenly thought that instead of using troops from all sides and using military force to be strong, it would be better to act in the two rivers now, accumulate food, build high walls, wait patiently, and accumulate strength. As long as he becomes stronger, why worry about these places being unable to pacify?
Lu Zheng can indeed be the best in the world now, but the best in the military can only guarantee the defeat of the enemy. However, after defeating the enemy, to govern one side and to manage the people well, what is needed is a massive amount of talents. After so many years of war, the talents have withered. Even if Lu Zheng occupied some places, he may not be able to manage all these places in the end.
...
After Long Lingxiu fled back to the capital in shame, she moved back into her princess's mansion, but for several days, she couldn't sleep at all, and she couldn't sleep or eat.
Not only did he not sleep or eat, but Tan Cheng, who was in charge of the army, could not sleep at night. All civil and military officials were in danger. Many timid officials slipped out of the capital city, some fled to Jiangnan with the help of canal transport ships, and some went out of the capital to secretly go out of the capital city, and almost everyone understood that the capital city was in danger. As long as Lu Zheng was willing, he could send troops to pacify the capital city at any time. By that time, the so-called elite soldiers and generals under Long Lingxiu would be wiped out, and the capital city would inevitably be taken away by Lu Zheng!
However, as time passed day by day, the two rivers and the peace entered, Lu Zheng did not mobilize any soldiers. The powerful families and officials at all levels were waiting for the situation of the army being in a hurry, so that all the preparations made by Tan Cheng became useless. This situation was undoubtedly funny and particularly ironic.
In the end, Long Lingxiu's scout in the two rivers finally sent a accurate letter. It turned out that Lu Zheng had never thought about dealing with Jingji, because since Jingji was already in his pocket, there was actually not much difference between taking and not taking.
To describe this situation using what Lu Zheng said when discussing the matter, the enemy thinks we want to take it, but we don’t take it. If the enemy thinks we don’t take it, maybe we will send troops to take it tomorrow.
The Long Lingxiu in the Jingjin River is the dry bone in the tomb. We can take it anyway. But now we only need to manage the place with peace of mind and rest. In this way, there is nothing wrong with the capital, nothing wrong in the world, and the people are safe and healthy. Isn’t this what we want?
When Long Lingxiu heard the scout conveying such a message, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and cursed: "Lu Zheng is really cunning. Her kindness really makes people want to eat her flesh and sleep with her skin!"
