sixty-eight puppets

It was late October, and the north wind was getting colder, the weather was colder, the armor was difficult to touch, and the horn bow was difficult to control.

Ji Shubi was allowed to walk out of the mansion and climb up to the city wall to visit. He wrapped himself in a thick cloak and walked alongside Fang Li to the city wall.

This was also the second time he walked up to the city wall. During the battle between the two armies on the eve of the previous day, Fang Li sent someone to take him to the city wall to boost the morale of the Guo army. At that time, Ji Shubi was so scared that he hid in the corner of the city wall, trembling, fearing that he would be injured by the dead arrows.

Fortunately, the Guo and Yu coalition won the victory in the end and captured a large number of Jin troops, which made Ji Shubi breathe a sigh of relief. His legs were already scared and weak, and he walked down the city wall tremblingly.

"Oh... I finally won, otherwise I would become a prisoner of Jin!" Ji Shubi was still in fear when he returned to his mansion, and was very scared.

Although he has been controlled by Fang Li now, at least he is still the nominal monarch of Guo. If it falls into the hands of the Jin army, it will not be whether he can still save the nominal throne, but whether he can save the head of Xiang Shang!

"It's cold and cold. General Fang brought me to the city wall to do what... Ah Yeh!"

Ji Shubi kept sneezing and sniffing to his hands to keep warm. At this moment, he missed the days of living in Xingyang with pampering life.

Fang Li smiled, stretched his muscles and bones, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, see what is the difference between today's outside the city and after the war?"

Ji Shubi stretched out his neck and pondered: "Well... the corpses are gone everywhere, and there are still a lot of blood stains in the wilderness. Huh... Where are the captured Jin soldiers, have all run away?"

Fang Li nodded: "Mr. Guo's eyes are pretty good. I'll take you to the city wall not to see the scenery, nor to find different ones, nor to blow the wind, but to let you understand a truth..."

"Speak straight, speak straight!" Ji Shubi tightened his clothes.

"Six or seven thousand people can be gone, let alone one person. Whether it is a duke or a grass-roots man, there is no difference after death!" Fang Li's face darkened, and murderous aura suddenly became.

Ji Shubi was startled and hurriedly hurriedly avoided: "What do you... want to do?"

Fang Li suddenly changed into a smile and his tone became kind: "It's not that I want to harm you, Duke Guo, but someone else wants to harm you. What about me, do I want to protect you, understand?"

Ji Shubi sneered: "Fang Li, I have had enough of you. What kind of conspiracy do you have?"

Fang Li suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on Ji Shubi's shoulder: "Duke Guo, please be careful and listen to my analysis slowly!"

Fang Li was extremely strong and could no longer move after holding Ji Shubi down. He was shocked and frightened: "Who do you think wants to harm me?"

Fang Li said slowly: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. If the civil and military officials of Guo State knew that their lord had become a puppet at the mercy of others, what choice would they make?"

When Ji Shubi heard this, his body shook, and his expression suddenly dimmed. He stuttered: "Will...Is there another monarch? My third brother has been coveting the position of Duke for a long time, and there are many supporters. Will they make the third brother the lord while I am arrested?"

Thinking of this, Ji Shubi burst into tears and bowed to Fang Li: "General Fang, please let me go? If I don't go back, they will definitely support my third brother as the monarch of Guo State. I don't want to lose the position of Duke Guo. I have been doing it for less than a year. Please give it your best!"

Fang Li hurriedly supported Ji Shubi: "Hey hey... Duke Guo, you can't do anything. You are the king of a country. How can you give me such a great gift? I will tell you what I said today to help you keep Duke Guo's position, how could you harm you?"

Ji Shubi stopped crying and wiped the tears with his sleeves: "How can General Fang help me keep the position of Duke Guo?"

"Prove that you still have power now!"

Ji Shubi looked confused: "I can't even get out of Hanoi now, how can I prove that I still have the right?"

Fang Li pointed to Dongfang: "First remove Dong Sheng's position as general, arrange a few people who support you to take control of military power, and then remove Sun Zhong's position as prime minister, and arrange a person who supports you to take over the prefect, so that you can keep your position as Gong Guo."

Dong Sheng was an old minister of the three dynasties of Guo State, not Ji Shubi's direct descendant. Ji Shubi was really afraid that he would support his brother to ascend the throne. After Fang Li's instigation, he immediately became interested in taking Dong Sheng.

"If Dong Sheng is removed, who will be replaced? And this will prove that I still have power?"

Fang Lichao pointed at Zhang Liao, who was setting up defense on the city wall; "Zhang Wenyuan can be both literary and military, and once killed Hu Shegu, the general of Guo State in Louzhai, which shocked Jin State and asked him to take over Dong Sheng to control military power. On the one hand, he could protect your position as Guo Duke, and on the other hand, he could command the soldiers to defeat the Jin army and defend Guo State, which was a killing of two birds with one stone."

Ji Shubi's thinking was completely controlled by Fang Li, and he couldn't help but know that if he did what Fang Li said, he would hand over the power of Guo State, but at least there would be a buffer period, and he might be able to seize the opportunity to escape.

If you do not act as Fang Li said, those old ministers in Xingyang who oppose them may support their brothers to ascend the throne tomorrow, and then they will become worthless!

"Okay, I will listen to you and remove Dong Sheng from his position as a general and Zhang Liao will take over."

Ji Shubi was determined to make things happen. Anyway, his position as Guo Gong could not be kept at all, so it would be better to bet a lot.

At that time, Ji Shubi and Fang Li returned to the prefect's mansion side by side, wrote an edict in person, announcing that Dong Sheng would be transferred back to Xingyang to take charge, and Zhang Liao was replaced by the general, leading the army stationed in Chenggao, and finally stamped the glorious seal.

After the edict was completed, Fang Li immediately summoned Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun and ordered the two of them to lead 3,000 soldiers to Chenggao to take over the military power. Anyway, Ji Shubi's edict was here, so he was not afraid of Dong Sheng's resistance. If it really didn't work, he would capture the thief and capture the king, and chop Dong Sheng to the ground first.

"Please rest assured, General, I will definitely live up to my mission!"

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were ordered to bid farewell to Fang Li, leading three thousand soldiers to leave Hanoi and embark on the journey east to Chenggao.

After Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun left, Ji Shubi was still worried and unable to sleep or eat. He took the initiative to find Fang Li: "General, it's not safe to just replace Dong Sheng. Sun Zhong is a fence-bearer. If he falls to my third brother, it would be a bad idea! I think I'll just stop doing it. I'll give another edict and remove him, the prime minister, too?"

Fang Li smiled slightly: "Don't worry, as long as you control the military power, you will not be afraid of the civil servants in Xingyang. When they dare to support your third brother, I will send troops to attack these traitors for you!"

"Well, I'll ask you for everything about me!"
