The stars are as bright as beans, and the night wind is steep and cold.
While Zhuge Liang and others were busy, Wang Yu did not consider any major military matters, but kept waiting outside the ward, waiting quietly, just like he waited outside the operating room in his previous life, expecting news from his comrades.
At that time, this kind of waiting almost without exception ended in disappointment - he and his comrades were all special forces performing the most dangerous tasks on the front line, and the injured place was usually thousands of miles away from the life-saving operating room.
After tossing and turning for a long time and then being sent to the operating room for rescue, it is just a matter of doing one's best and obeying fate. No matter how advanced medicine is, how can it really save a person who has lost all vitality?
At present, although he got a hint from Zhang Ning that Hua Tuo was sure to save people, Wang Yu was still in a very uneasy mood, fearing that the tragedy would happen again.
Gongsun Zan is very similar to his comrades, especially the seniors who always regard themselves as big brothers. He is a bit face-saving and will occasionally put on the airs of his seniors, but he spares no effort to take care of his juniors. He will even protect his juniors at the critical moment of life and death.
Even if I die because of it, I will have no regrets.
He had just joined the army. Isn't that what Brother Feng was like when he was half-teacher and half-friend? Wang Yu was thinking in a trance, thinking about those people and things that were far away but still clear in the depths of his memory.
Without that Brother Feng, there would be no such awe-inspiring King of Soldiers, and perhaps there would be no current Han Hussars General. His name would only appear in confidential reports within the army. In the tropical rain forests of southern Xinjiang,
There is an unjust ghost of a novice who died young when he was just starting out.
After many years, this nostalgia has lost the intensity of the past, but over the long years, it has settled like fine wine, brewing in the deepest part of my heart, and was triggered at this moment.
When Tao Qianxian passed away, although Wang Yu was sad, he didn't have so many emotions. The old man died peacefully at the end of his life and his wishes were fulfilled. Wang Yu knew it already from what he knew in his previous life.
As a result, Gongsun Zan should not have died at this time and in this place.
Although Gongsun Zan died tragically in history. Under the siege of Yuan Shao, Xian Yufu and Wuwan people, he was defeated and committed suicide. But unlike Tao Qian, it was not a destined ending and could be changed to a large extent.
Yes, isn’t this Northern Expedition aimed at changing history?
If the other party still dies, what will bring to him is more than just sadness and regret? That deep sense of frustration may never go away.
The guards wanted to remind him several times, fearing that he would catch the cold here, but every time they saw the Lord's unusual solemn expression, they all backed down and murmured together for a while. In the end, everyone unanimously recommended the captain.
Lin Qing came out.
"My lord, the night is cold and the wind is cold, and you are responsible for the safety of the entire army. Well, that... what is the daughter of?"
The story seemed promising at first, but Captain Lin soon couldn't go on. Before joining the army, he was a woodcutter at the foot of Mount Tai. He had a good figure, big shoulders and a round waist. He was half a head taller than Wang Yu.
Like an iron tower holding the sky, he is worthy of the word "Qing" in his name.
With this body, coupled with his strange strength, he did a decent job after taking over the duties of Taishi Ci's personal guard captain.
However, his advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious. He is powerful and very clumsy in his articulation. Even though the other guards taught him for a long time and came on the field, he still only remembered the beginning.
Seeing him scratching his head and scratching his head, sweating profusely, Wang Yu was amused: "I'm talking about wood, who taught you to say these elegant words? It doesn't look like you anymore when you talk like this."
"Huh," Lin Qing breathed out as if he had been granted amnesty, nodded vigorously, raised his hand and complained confidently: "Isn't that right? I said the same thing just now, but Zhang Fang and the others said...
"
Wang Yu looked around and saw several guards looking over with a mocking smile. His eyes fell on a soldier in the middle with an average build and average appearance, intentionally or unintentionally.
This man was Zhang Fang. He was betrayed by his colleagues. He did not panic, bowed his hands and saluted, and replied calmly: "My subordinates are all worried that my lord is too worried, so I thought of this way and asked Brother Lin to advise you. Subordinates and others
I don’t have the ability to share my master’s worries, so I thought that if I could make the master smile and relieve his worries a little, I would be fulfilling my duty.”
Wang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Are you Zhang Fang? A relative of Wenyuan?"
He was a little surprised. He thought it was a little incident caused by the soldiers, but he didn't expect it to be a careful plan by this person. Looking at Fang Fang's calm response, it was a bit unusual.
"Exactly."
"Well, Wen Yuan's eyesight is pretty good." Wang Yu nodded slightly and looked Zhang Fang up and down.
There is an unwritten rule in the Qingzhou Army. Generals will not directly promote their relatives and nephews to prominent positions. Whether they want to join the army or politics, they will first be sent to Wang Yu, and only after his personal selection and experience will they make a decision.
Whether it should be used or whether it can be used. Those who serve in the army are soldiers, and those who serve in politics are military staff. Lu Xun and Huang Ze were all arranged according to this rule.
The reason why there is such a rule is because Wang Yu doesn't like the style of high-ranking officials, but with the expansion of Qingzhou's foundation, the generals, regardless of their origins, have the tendency to rise with the tide. If he promotes his nephews and relatives on his own, that is himself.
It's a slap in the face, why not just put him in the most conspicuous position next to Wang Yu, so that his ability can be seen at a glance.
Those who are capable must use them after all, and cannot stop eating because of choking; those who are incompetent have nothing to complain about if they are sent away.
Because this rule is only temporary and Wang Yu has not expressed any opinions, it is still an unspoken rule and it is hard to say what will happen in the future. However, Xunzi had already interpreted this hundreds of years ago: There is no solid name and appropriateness.
It is based on fate, and it is said to be appropriate if it is a convention. If it is different from the convention, it is said to be inappropriate. This is what is called: convention.
Zhang Fang came because Zhang Liao came to his hometown and followed the local customs.
Zhang Liao brought 500 cavalry to Qingzhou with Lu Qiling. Zhang Fang was a leader in the army. He was not a high-ranking official, but in order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Liao decided to send Zhang Fang back to Puyang. He acted cautiously and felt that he
As a guest general, it is better not to send anyone into Wang Yu's personal army.
He was very thoughtful, but he couldn't resist Lu Qiling's quick talk, so Zhang Fang's fate changed again and he became Wang Yu's personal soldier.
The reason why Wang Yu was surprised was that the people around him had many opportunities to perform. In the past, they could rush into battle with him, and it was clear whether they were brave or not. After he focused more on the overall situation, these people also had the opportunity to catch him like Huang Ze.
assigned tasks.
In the Guards Corps, there are not only nobles like Huang Ze, but also many grassroots people like Li Shiyi. The two sides will compete with each other secretly. Huang Ze's meritorious service this time may not be without the role of this competitive mentality. He does not want to give
Uncle Huang Zhong was disgraced, so he was willing to take risks to achieve meritorious service.
There are many people like Huang Ze, but before today, Wang Yu didn't have much impression of Zhang Fang, which shows that his martial arts skills are limited. But looking at it now, this person's strengths seem to be his clear mind and calmness in dealing with things.
He is somewhat similar to Zhang Liao.
"I don't dare to praise my lord." Zhang Fang hesitated and suddenly said: "My lord has good intentions, General Gongsun understands it, and there is a miracle doctor to treat him, so this time he will definitely turn disaster into good luck."
"Good intentions?" Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, became more and more surprised, and asked: "Then you might as well tell me, apart from what I said in the account, what other good intentions do I have?"
Zhang Liao became a famous general passed down to future generations not only because of his caution, but also his courage. Zhang Fang is far from Zhang Liao, but he is a relative and has served the latter for many years, so there are some similarities
. He has been observing for a long time and knows that Wang Yu is different from ordinary monarchs in that he does not reject people who take the initiative to recommend themselves, so he came up with this spontaneous self-recommendation today.
After hearing Wang Yu's inquiry, he did not hesitate. He immediately cheered up and said loudly: "My lord's intention when he swore not to proclaim himself emperor was the same as my lord's treatment of General Gongsun..."
This time Wang Yu was prepared, but he didn't notice anything. The other soldiers were all stunned, wondering how the two things were related. After the news spread that the lord would not proclaim himself emperor, not only the people in the world had different opinions, but even Qingzhou
There are a lot of strange noises inside, and the soldiers have their own channels for information, so naturally they won't know anything about it.
Of course, they would not speculate on Wang Yu's intentions with a dark psychology like the hostile forces. They just thought that the lord might be too loyal to the emperor, or they were concerned about the mood of their father, the prince, so they took this expedient measure. They would eventually ascend to the supreme throne in the future.
Since ancient times, people who have conquered the world, haven’t they always done this? Why should the lord be an exception?
However, in recent times, some other theories have been circulated from the academy. Many of the analyzes are very novel, and everyone can't agree on it. But no matter how you think about it, there seems to be no connection between not proclaiming the emperor and saving Gongsun Zan, right?
"In troubled times, human life is like grass and grass, and faith is like worn shoes. No matter whether you are a victorious general or a world hero, nothing can make your brothers more at ease than a monarch who values friendship and remembers old feelings. Even if he wins every battle.
, some people will die as well, and if you meet a scheming and manipulative master again, even if you are lucky enough to survive every time, it will be difficult to maintain your luck until the end."
"My lord, if you don't become emperor, you will always be the invincible commander-in-chief, and you will always stand with the soldiers, instead of hiding in the deep palace after the dust has cleared. From now on, I will love and support you.
Build a high wall between your soldiers."
"If you don't proclaim yourself emperor, no matter how great your brothers' achievements are, you don't have to worry about their achievements being too great, because the Lord is not a lonely man in the world, but the supreme commander who represents all the soldiers. He will always protect the brothers from wind and rain.
Lead everyone to keep forging ahead and pioneering.”
"The same goes for General Gongsun. If it is other princes, even if they tolerate him now, they will not be able to tolerate him in the future. Instead of dying in the future after being convicted, it is better to die now, so that you can remember your old feelings and treat him kindly.
His family and his old army, General Gongsun, had no intention of living, not entirely because of the shame of defeat, but also because of fear of the future."
"So, you don't proclaim yourself emperor because you have the same intention as you in formulating the Pingbei policy. It is all to give the warriors a promise to ensure that they will not die at the hands of their own people after hundreds of battles, or hand over their power and be killed.
He was kept in captivity. Now that he knows the Lord's good intentions, how can General Gongsun be willing to just let go?"
Wang Yu was stunned when he heard this.
As the saying goes: The most difficult thing for people to see clearly is themselves. Wang Yu once had this confusion.
My initial feud with a wealthy family was due to my father, Wang Kuang, who offended Hanoi's wealthy family so harshly that there was no room for change between the two parties, and it was difficult to maintain even a semblance of harmony. Now that I have inherited this identity, I
Naturally, you have to shoulder the responsibility and compete with the other party.
Later, many things happened, which continuously aggravated his hatred of the clan, and finally formed the Qingzhou New Deal that was against the clan.
When time passed, and when he looked back and thought about it, Wang Yu had to admit that although there were objective factors, he seemed to have never meant to reconcile with the other party from the beginning. This was not as simple as revenge. Wang Yu felt that he had
The experiences of the previous life are transferred into this life.
He was blackmailed because he saw injustice on the road and disturbed the good affairs of one or more yamen. The unfairness of front-line soldiers who accumulated merit and were not promoted and whose posthumous pensions were close to nothing also made him
Feeling angry.
He and his comrades may sound majestic, but in fact, in the eyes of the real big shots, they are not even chess pieces, they are just a bunch of consumables. When they are gone, just replace them with another batch.
Therefore, Wang Yu's ability is almost as big as his temper, which adds a lot of obstacles to them. The stab head who cannot be trained has no value in existence. No matter how powerful a soldier is, what's the use? It will never be better than ten or a hundred.
One is still strong, right? Even if there are ten or one hundred, what's the big deal? Isn't it just a bunch of worthless soldiers?
Wang Yu thought for a long time, and finally before he summoned everyone and announced his decision not to proclaim himself emperor, he finally understood what was in his heart - what he hated most was not the family or the barbarians, but the evil that had been passed down for thousands of years and poisoned the generations.
Bureaucracy!
Not proclaiming himself emperor is just the beginning of eliminating the bureaucracy.
It doesn't matter whether you are an emperor or not. You have the power in your hands anyway, and no one else can take it away if you are not an emperor. Apart from that, the only benefits of being an emperor are that you can legally open a harem, pass on the country from generation to generation, and some glory and fame.
Just something like that.
Wang Yu doesn't care about this. After all, if he is no longer an emperor, his wives will flock to him. If he really wants a harem of three thousand beauties, whether he can remember people is a problem. What is there to look forward to?
If you become the emperor, let alone eliminate the bureaucracy. The emperor himself is the biggest bureaucracy. It doesn't matter if you have a puppet emperor. How many centralized countries in the world have not continued internal strife and finally collapsed in the civil strife? If you return to
Two thousand years ago, it was just to repeat history, so what’s the point?
The rest is almost the same as what Zhang Fang said.
If you don't become an emperor, you don't have to worry about internal strife or even civil strife. With China's background, as long as you don't hold yourself back, do you still need to worry about not becoming extremely powerful?
What Wang Yu wants to see most is not to defeat the heroes himself and have the heroes of this era kneel before him and work as slaves to find a sense of accomplishment. He hopes to see these people live until the end of the troubled times and compete on a larger stage.
The sky shines with light, and the banner of the Han army is planted in every corner where the sun can shine.
This was his original intention in proposing the Pingbei policy and vowing not to proclaim himself emperor.
Unexpectedly, the first person to express his feelings was not Jia Xu, Tian Feng, or Wolong Fengchu, but an unknown little person. Wang Yu laughed at himself in his heart, and his mentality was indeed closer to that of a little person.
However, this Zhang Fang has good eyesight and eloquence, so he can be considered for some use. Considering the current situation, the most suitable person for him is...
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the hospital tent. At the same time, a clang of armor quickly approached in the distance. Wang Yu looked back in his busy schedule and found that it was Zhuge Liang and others coming together.
Without thinking too much, Wang Yu turned around and saw the tent door moving slightly and being lifted up, revealing Zhang Ning's pretty face that was full of exhaustion but with a smile.
Wang Yu's heart finally fell to the ground, and he heard Zhang Ning's originally pleasant voice, which was like the sound of nature: "It's okay, both of them are okay." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, novels Better updates faster!)
