Chapter 1523 People's hearts are changeable, scratching the scalp
Siege?
Han Ji was stunned and thought, isn't this going to die?
Even though he had never participated in the fighting seriously, Han Ji also knew that Yangling Pass could not be attacked by force.
but……
The emperor waved his hand, "Let's get ready!"
This is because Qian Gang acted arbitrarily and did not give the ministers a chance to make suggestions.
Han Ji found that the generals accepted this result calmly, including Pei Jian, who loved his soldiers as his own son.
After walking out of the tent, he couldn't help but ask Pei Jian, "Old Pei, it's inappropriate to attack by force! Why don't you give me advice?"
"This is in the army!" Pei Jian said concisely and concisely: "A warrior should die!"
Han Ji watched him go away, shouted, and the soldiers came out and followed him to build equipment.
In the tent, the emperor rubbed his brows and suddenly said: "Yang Lue, I was so stubborn back then, and even had a sense of justice. I had no choice but to let things go. This time I ordered the attack on Yangling Pass to send the soldiers there. Death. If it were more than ten years ago, if I saw someone like this, I would definitely scold and even become furious... But today, my heart is calm. You think I have become cold-blooded, or something."
Yang Lue had been silent before. He had a special status and no one dared to provoke or instigate him, so he was quiet.

At this moment, he was standing alone below, looking a little lonely.
"People always change." Yang Lue said: "When I was in the East Palace, I wanted to protect the late emperor and revolutionize the Tang Dynasty and achieve great success. At that time, I liked whoever I liked. But later after I fled Yuanzhou, I Looking at Chang'an, looking at the world, a thought suddenly came to my mind... Why doesn't the world collapse, why doesn't it fall into chaos? It would be better if there were wars everywhere.
I was also shocked by my own thoughts. Later, I reflected on it in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. I was still angry, but less violent. Later, after I learned that His Highness had raised troops in Northern Xinjiang, I felt that the world was full of chaos again. The sun is shining.”
"The world is still the same world. It has not changed. What has changed is the human heart!" Yang Lue pointed to his heart, "Everything in the outside world is just a manifestation of the heart. If you are dedicated to good, the world will be kind. If you are dedicated to evil, the world will be ugly. …”
"This is because my heart has changed." The emperor nodded, "In the past, when I was not a householder, one person would have enough to eat and the whole family would not be hungry. When seeing injustice, I would get angry no matter what the reason. Later, when I came to Taiping and became a householder, Only then did I realize that it’s not that simple. From the first time I saw the sadness of my subordinates dying in battle, to now being able to drive my subordinates to die, I have changed a lot.”
"But your Majesty has the world in mind, and this is to stop killing with killing." Yang Lue felt that the emperor was too tired and it was time to rest. However, the land of Shu was right in front of him, and it was impossible for the emperor to retreat. "The casualties at this moment are just for future preservation." More lives."
"Yes!" The emperor smiled and said: "When you are an emperor, you cannot spend every penny and give up the world for one person. I am like a businessman. I have to calculate the pros and cons of any political matter, but no matter what choice I make, there will be consequences. It will harm some people. In the end, the only choice is the lesser of two evils."
"Actually, your Majesty has done a very good job." Yang Lue said: "Let's not talk about the pseudo-emperor and his son, let's talk about Emperor Xuande back then. Even with Empress Wu assisting him, he could only form a check and balance with the big families and could not suppress them."
The emperor smiled, "Compared with me, Emperor Xuande and Empress Wu are more like two noble people who are afraid of rats. They are worried that if they fall out with those people, they will break the altar. But I am different. In my eyes, if I don't break those people Using jars and jars will only break more things in the future. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain."
"This is your Majesty's strength."
The emperor was in a good mood, "You go about your business."
"Yes, I am resigning!"
Yang Lue went out. Outside, Lin Feibao was guarding him. When he saw him coming out, he whispered: "Old Yang, when did you learn to flatter me? The old man who heard this is very proud of His Majesty."
"Everything I said is from the bottom of my heart." Yang Lue asked, "Don't you think so?"
Lin Feibao thought for a while, "Yes!"
In their eyes, the images of Emperor Xuande and Empress Wu were very complicated. Compared with the emperor, those two were more like gods in the mist. They could not see clearly and did not want to see clearly.
Yang Lue said: "To be honest, Emperor Xuande and Empress Wu didn't want to suppress those people back then, but they were unable to do so. Seeing that your majesty could accomplish this, I felt proud for some reason and wished I could run to Emperor Xuande and him.
Proclaimed loudly in front of the mausoleum where Empress Wu was buried together."
"Relieve your anger!" Lin Feibao said.
"Yes, but I hope that your Majesty can do more. When that day comes, I will definitely tell Emperor Xuande and Empress Wu to let them see that the grandson they abandoned back then has now become the descendant of the Tang Dynasty.
The Lord of ZTE is far beyond what they can compare to!"
In the big tent, the emperor heard the last words and thought of Emperor Xuande and Empress Wu.
Logically speaking, these two were his grandparents, but the emperor could not show any admiration or kindness towards them.
There was no way, his biological father was sent away by these two people with a glass of poisonous wine, and the same was true for his biological mother.
Even if the other person is his grandparent, the emperor can't let go.
He gathered his heart back and looked at the map.
The current obstacle is Yangling Pass, and after Yangling Pass is Fangzhou. Once Yangling Pass is defeated, the difficulty of attacking Fangzhou will be much lower.
The key is that as soon as Fangzhou was reached, the army was approaching the outskirts of Yizhou.
Unlike the mountainous Fangzhou, Yizhou is a plain area with thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, and it is also the most prosperous area in Shu.
As long as Fangzhou is defeated, the cavalry will have a place to use.
The emperor was confident that he could defeat any opponent in a field battle with his cavalry.
What's more, by that time, people in Yizhou will definitely be panicked and their morale will be low.
His fingers slid past Yangling Pass, Fangzhou, Yizhou... Then, he looked up.
"The vast world is waiting for me!"
He thought of his eldest nephew, who must be at sea now!
The emperor actually didn't like being trapped in one place. Deep in his heart, he yearned for the outside world, just like when he left Yuanzhou. He hoped that he could go all the way without stopping.
Shu land!
The emperor squinted his eyes, thinking about this battle, but he was at a loss.
A strong attack was necessary to shock the defenders and the puppet emperor's gang, and to let the soldiers and people of Shu see that their determination to defeat the puppet emperor and his son was rock solid.
But the strong attack is only one side, the other side...
The emperor looked towards the waterway.
The road to Shu is difficult, but there are large rivers leading to the outside world. However, just like the road to Shu, the waterway is also quite dangerous. There are various rapids and dangerous shoals along the way. It is said that the elderly are advised not to go in and out by boat, lest they be scared to death on the way.
.
"The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains."
The emperor's mood became lighter.
There are difficulties, but they can always be overcome.
"Invite Master Guo to come." the emperor ordered.
The emperor was going to defeat the false emperor, and everyone in Yunshan was extremely excited, thinking of grabbing credit for this final battle, and by the way, setting up a branch in Shu.
We can’t compare it with metaphysics, but at least it has to look like a second-largest one!
Guo Yunhai came, "Your Majesty."
"You have also looked at the terrain today. There is definitely nothing you can do about it from the front. So, what about the surrounding area?" The emperor stretched out his hand and drew a circle. "Can you look around to see if there is a path that leads to Yangling Pass?"
"Take orders!"
Guo Yunhai was secretly happy when he saw that such an important task was entrusted to him. After returning home, he summoned the monks in his sect and announced the task.
"Follow me with agility and quickness!"
He set out with a few of his disciples who were very good at Qinggong.
The emperor is summoning the accompanying craftsmen.
"Can this place be tunneled?"
The craftsmen went to try it, but came back half a day later with a sad face, "Your Majesty, there are many rocks underneath, and there is no way to get through it."
grass!
The emperor could only scratch his head and said, "Damn it! I am at the end of my rope."
He was laughing at himself, while Lan Jian was being beaten severely by Suo Yun.
Lan Jian squatted on the ground holding his head and allowed his brother to punch and kick him.
Suoyun was tired from the beating, and panted: "There are so many people these days, I can't do anything, but if I don't beat you, I'm worried that you will be stupid next time."
Lan Jian raised his head, his face still intact, "Brother, I know I was wrong."
"You were not that stupid before. It was only after you got some money and an official position that you started to feel happy. I have said that as soon as this person starts to feel cocky, he is not far from being unlucky. Your mother-in-law doesn't listen. This time, Your Majesty
I hold you high and let you go, do you think it is your own merit?"
"No." Lan Jian was very sober, "Your Majesty probably wants to use me to beat Zhao Yong."
"As long as you understand, we are going to attack Yangling Pass right now. If you attack by force, you will lose your life. This is also your chance to make a meritorious deed and hold on to your position. Otherwise, I will kill you with my own hands, leaving some chance for your wife and children to live."
Lan Jian said: "Your Majesty is too affectionate to deal with me!"
"Damn you, do you still remember the Xin Wuji from back then?"
"Remember!"
"Do you know where Xin Wuji is now?"
"I don't know."
"In the city of Chang'an, I hide in my house every day, drink and have fun, and don't dare to leave the house. Is your contribution even better than his?"
Lan Jian shook his head.
"Get up!" Suo Yun kicked him, looked at the dust on his body, reached out to pat him, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts so much!"
"I'll be gentler next time!"
"No, next time I make a mistake, brother, I'll just slap you hard."
"Go for it!"
The death battalion took the lead in launching an exploratory attack in the afternoon.
The defenders easily defeated them with arrows, spears, and gold juice. The warriors of the death camp could not even reach the top of the city.
The officials and generals who watched this brief siege were a little stunned.
This pass is impossible to defeat!
Someone looked at the mountains on both sides and said, "Maybe we can find a place to go there."
Guo Yunhai set off with the monks, and everyone saw in their eyes that they naturally knew that they were looking for a trail.
But at this moment, Guo Yunhai was looking up at a cliff.
This is the only place that leads to the back of the pass.
"Headmaster, we can go up bit by bit and dig holes in the mountain wall, one hole at a time."
"It's a good idea." Guo Yunhai nodded, "But with just a few of us, even if we get around to the back of the pass, can we possibly break the city?"
Well!
Everyone shook their heads.
This small number of people will be destroyed in a hail of arrows.
There must be an army, preferably accompanied by strong soldiers.
But no matter how good the warrior is, he can't climb such a cliff!
Guo Yunhai did not give up and searched for it for a long time, but finally came back without success and went back to plead guilty.
"I don't blame you!" The emperor was very reasonable.
But his brows furrowed quietly.
This road is cut off, what else can we do?
He thought for a long time and almost scratched his scalp.
"His Majesty!"
Liang Jing is here.
"Old Liang!"
The emperor was worried, "But something happened?"
"Your Majesty, I want to go around and find some mountain people to ask..."
"Go!" The emperor waved his hand.
Liang Jing went out and said to Meng Laoer: "Glory and wealth are here today, are you sure?"
