Royal Road - Chapter 219

[Chapter 218 | City]

With cavalry guards, the army’s return journey was much faster than when it went. When they saw the familiar tall city wall in Jinyang, many people had a sense of right and wrong.

This battle was inexplicable and almost collapsed, but the result was unexpected.

Not only did he recapture the three cities of Jingling, but he also let Liu Hu, who was entrenched in Xinxing County, die under the city.

But all of this is not their fault.

If the Inspector Liang could command the army, would they be able to obtain the same glory, instead of fleeing back to Jinyang with their tails between their tails?

In front of the wide-open city gate, there is a guard of honor of the prefect.

Without the Governor, the commander Linghu Sheng naturally rushed forward.

Unexpectedly, when he got close, he realized that this was not a simple greeting. Inspector Liang was dressed in plain clothes and had a solemn face. His already pale face was even more solemn.

“The last general didn’t keep the governor, please make the emperor punish him!” Linghusheng was also an official figure, how could he not know the meaning of this battle.

Immediately dismount and kneel down to confess guilt.

After all, this battle also killed the coach, and he was also Sima Yue’s brother-in-law.

If the imperial court had a decree, maybe how would they deal with these soldiers.

If the three armies die, they will die, but that general is of great importance and should not be taken lightly.

And the prefect in front of him obviously thought about it.

Liang Feng let out a long sigh and held the veteran’s arms: “Dudu Pei abandoned his flag and was defeated. Thanks to General Fenwei for keeping more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Hu and others became fearful. The general is not only without fault, but has merit.”

This is the conclusion of the prefect’s office.

In the early years, if the commander was lost, the entire army would be dismissed, and even the soldiers would be exiled.

But how could anyone dare to do that?

Bingzhou was already in great chaos, and there were Xiongnu coercion on the side. As long as the governor’s office insisted that this battle was not the fault of other generals, who would dare to hold it accountable?

And the cause of Pei Dun’s death, Shijun did not intend to cover up.

In this way, this is a major chaos in the state. After all, Pei Dun did it alone, and he also paid the price for it.

Because of the defeat of one’s own private army, what can even Sima Yue do?

In the final analysis, it is still the court that cannot be appointed.

This approach seems straightforward, but it is actually well-intentioned.

Why didn’t he use his power to bear the anger of the imperial court towards the generals in Bingzhou.

If Pei Dun was in charge of the soldiers, even if Linghu Sheng could bring the soldiers back, the culprit would still fall on the leaders of them.

Comparing the two, it makes people feel that it is very rare to have a chief officer whose ability and character are the best.

Taking advantage of the situation to stand up, Linghu Sheng said in a deep voice, “If you don’t have the envoy to kill Liu Hu and relieve the siege of Jinyang. At this moment in Bingzhou, I am afraid that it will fall into the hands of the Hulu. I will be ashamed at the end, and I can’t share the worries for the envoy! This is

the

real effect. Liang Feng patted his arm lightly: “Why did General Linghu say this? Jinyang has just retreated from the enemy, and he is still waiting for the general to serve. This city and one state also need to work for the general.” It’s

the trouble.” In

just a few short sentences, the affiliation was settled.

All the generals and officials in this state must also be gathered into the arms of the governor’s house.

However, for this result, in Jinyang City, I am afraid that no one will object again.

Because of Pei Dun’s death, there was no grand celebration ceremony for this victory.

After appeasing the army, Liang Feng ordered a burial of the fallen soldiers, rewarded the defenders of the city, and ordered Huai’en Temple to hold a grand dharma meeting to ward off evil spirits and further calm people’s hearts.

There is so much going on, it’s hard to stop.

Even if Duan Qin and Ge Hong wanted to let him rest, Liang Feng couldn’t rest.

There seemed to be an unbearable mass in his chest, and he couldn’t breathe if he didn’t do anything.

“General Chuan Yi.” Liang Feng rubbed his forehead and unfolded the map at hand.

Liu Hu is already dead, so he should send troops to Xinxing County and try to bring that county into the territory.

It is also time for the Leping Kingdom to change its long history. Wen Qiao should move his position and be promoted to the prime minister.

In this way, he took back four of the six counties in the state.

Yanmen County was also the territory of the ally Tuoba Xianbei, leaving only the Xihe Kingdom occupied by the Xiongnu.

These days, he is busy, and Yi Yan is not idle either.

Not only to rectify the Liangfu tribes who lost troops in the fierce battle, but also to build a good relationship with the generals of Bingzhou headed by Linghusheng.

This is also a critical moment for the private soldiers of Liang’s house, and even the first department of Shangdang to formally contact the soldiers of Jinyang, which cannot be neglected.

But if it were to send troops to Xinxing County, how could it be that Yiyan would go out of his way.

Liang Feng naturally wanted to call him over and discuss it carefully.

Unexpectedly, the waiting time was much longer than expected.

Looking at the colorful lines on the picture, Liang Feng’s head gradually tilted, resting on his elbow.

Exhaustion is like an invisible big hand, gripping his body and mind tightly, dragging him to the abyss of sleep.

This drowsiness is not safe.

Liang Feng found himself sitting in a study.

The walls are empty, dark and cold, behind the low table, sits an old man who exudes twilight and decay.

That is Cui Daru.

Liang Feng was a little startled, when did Cui Daru come to Jinyang?

At this time, the old man opened his mouth and said: “The internal strife is not in progress, and the external troubles are not enough. Junping the internal strife, killing Pei Dun, and slaughtering Liu Hu, it only took 4,000 lives in exchange for Bingzhou Antai, isn’t it worth it?”

Liang Feng’s throat was like blocked.

Just four thousand?

Four thousand corpses can stack up a mound like a city wall, and can fill a huge and deep canyon.

Just four thousand?

“Otherwise? What else?” Another voice sounded in his ears.

Liang Feng’s body trembled, and he turned his head sharply.

It was another old man, someone who should never have appeared in front of him.

“If it wasn’t for Wang Jun’s defeat in five counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns, from 100,000 to 30,000. Without the new three-man group to seize power, where would the final victory come from?!” The old man snorted, “Military|political It’s not as simple as you think. Once you succeed, your bones will die. Except for winning, thinking about everything else is a burden! Xiaofeng, you are too soft-hearted, how can you lead troops in the future?”

“That’s different…” Liang Feng murmured What is trying to justify.

However, under his feet, something grabbed his ankle.

Liang Feng lowered his head, and the floor beneath his feet suddenly turned into a pool of blood.

The thick blood plasma rolled with a disgusting smell, and countless corpses with mutilated limbs were twisted together.

Those corpses did not fall into eternal sleep.

Instead, they were all screaming and struggling.

Countless hands were raised high, hung with rotten flesh, revealing white bones, like grabbing a life-saving straw, grabbing Liang Feng’s legs and feet, tearing him, trying to drag him into the rotten abyss.

“Save us… Who will save us…” With

a buzzing sound, a long arrow pierced Qing Zhuang who was standing in front of him.

Still warm blood splashed all over his face.

Liang Feng murmured and opened his mouth: “I can’t save you…”

“Kill! Kill me!” The

roar echoed in his ears.

The throat was cut, the intestines were pierced, the limbs were broken, and the burning fireball that gave off a strong scorch stench.

He stood in the middle of the Asura Field, watching the crowd who kept dying because of his orders.

Not even a finger could be lifted.

He couldn’t save that many people.

He can die for his comrades, he can die to protect the citizens.

But can he save more people?

Save the world…

“Master!”

With his arms tight, Liang Feng suddenly woke up from his dream.

In front of him was an anxious face, with concern and worry flashing in his gray-blue eyes.

The hand gripping his arm was so hard that he seemed unwilling to let go for a moment.

Liang Feng opened his mouth and squeezed out a sentence: “I fell asleep accidentally…”

“You’re in a nightmare!” There was anxiety in Yi Yan’s voice, “My lord, this time it was Pei Dun’s fault. , not you. Please don’t blame yourself, lord!”

Liang Feng was stunned.

Did he just talk in his sleep?

Did he show something wrong?

Even those as keen as Duan Qin and Sun Li are now relieved and secretly glad that he is in charge of the Bingzhou Army|Politics.

As for Linghu Sheng and Ge Hong, who participated in the war in person, they admired him immensely, and were completely convinced by him.

Why does Yiyan say that?

However, the hand that grabbed his wrist tightened even more.

As if he didn’t know how to persuade him, Yi Yan hurriedly said: “The lord has already tried his best to save more people. No one can take human life as a big thing like the lord. If the lord blames himself for this, How do I govern the land of this state? Those killings and retributions can be borne by me!”

Liang Feng did not need others to help him carry that burden, and his self-esteem and sense of responsibility could not be shied away.

However, this is the first person to see through his heart.

It didn’t take much to say what was on his mind.

The grip on his wrist was so strong that he seemed to rub himself into his blood.

There was something fiery in his eyes, rolling faintly.

However, Liang Feng restrained it and did not let those things flow to the surface.

Taking a deep breath, he sat up straight: “Boyuan is worry-free, I know this.”

Yes, he has always understood.

It’s just like the old man said, he doesn’t have the heart to join the army and politics.

However, the current situation has pushed him down to this position, how can he be worthy of those wasted sacrifices if he is addicted again?

With a flick of his wrist, he pulled his arm back: “Liu Hu has died, and Baibu Xianbei has also lost a lot of troops. Xinxing County, we have to reconsider…”

The thin wrist broke free from his palm, Yi Yan But not as depressed as before.

He could see the lord’s face, and the lingering entanglement and distress had slowly dissipated, returning to the calm and calm appearance of the past.

As long as the lord can feel at ease, what are these gains and losses?

Concentrating his mind, he sat on the other side of the desk, quietly listening to the man’s subsequent instructions.
