Chapter 636

: The Hundred Generations of Legacy

"Isn't this persuading me?" Lu Fang saw the eyes of everyone in the lower head flashing with a hot light, and his heart was shocked. He never expected that the scene that ancient books often saw in his previous life would happen to him, and for a moment he felt unreal. Although Lu Fang also knew that sooner or later, all this would happen to him, he didn't expect it to be so quickly and felt a little dizzy.

But soon Lu Fang's mind became clear, and he realized that the passion in the eyes of these ministers was not so much a loyal minister as a further desire for power.

After all, now he is nominally just a rank of kings from Hou Liang. No matter how powerful the ministers are, they cannot be as good as proclaiming themselves as kings. Besides, the merits of the ministers are to persuade them to advance. If he ascends the throne, he will naturally be awarded a title. Who else is more beneficiary than these people in the tent? Thinking of this, Lu Fang suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart: If the person who sits in this position is not himself, but someone else, as long as these people can receive generous rewards, they will also persuade them to advance!

Thinking of this, Lu Fang stood up with a gloomy face and said sternly: "A family has little virtue. When they were wandering on Huai, they only had two meals in the morning and evening. They just got their heads. I admire the blessing of the sky. It is a blessing to have it today. How dare I peek at the position of Wancheng? The position of the emperor has its own destiny, so how can we guess it? I want to call me on the fire?" Then he turned around and left the tent.

Seeing that Lu Fang's attitude was so firm, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Lu Fang to refuse. After all, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there has been a special procedure for such persuasion. The superiors bowed and gave in, and those who persuaded them to enter again and again. The people wrote letters, and various signs appeared. Until the last one pretended to be helpless and became the emperor because of the destiny of heaven. They did not expect Lu Fang to accept it happily. However, Lu Fang's attitude was obviously not pretending, but it seemed that he really did not want to proclaim himself king. Could it be that he really wanted to be the king of Zhu Wen? Everyone in the tent couldn't help but wonder.

Chen Yun and Gao Fengtian looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other's heart. As the heads of the civil officials of Zhenhai Army, although they were a little disagreeable on weekdays, they were completely consistent in supporting Lu Fang as king. Since the matter was at this critical moment, it was difficult for them to speak. Thinking of this, Chen and Gao both fell on Wang Foer at the same time. The two looked at each other and laughed in unison: "General Wang, there is something to bother me."

Lu Fang sat in his tent, frowning, but his heart was full of thought. When the Huainan general was pacified, if he became king, he would be breaking with Zhu Wen, and it would be very likely to start another battle. This is not a good thing for Zhenhaijun, who wanted to prepare to slowly digest the spoils of war. But the people in the tent just now represented a common wish of Zhenhaijun. In ancient China, the ancient Chinese was just right. After occupying Huainan, the power of Zhenhaijun was about to border Houliang. After the common enemy Huainan was destroyed, the short honeymoon between the two families would end.

In this case, he also used the official title given by Houliang to recognize the other party's correct position and would be in a very politically disadvantageous position. Therefore, it is undoubtedly necessary to become king independently and gain political legitimacy, but this opportunity is particularly important. After all, the important strongholds in the north and south of the Huaihe River are still controlled by the generals in Huainan. Whoever can win them in his hands will be able to get the first move in the future battle for hegemony. Thinking of this, Lu Fang couldn't help but feel a splitting headache, and he couldn't help but stretch out his finger and gently massage his temple.

At this time, a slight sound came from outside the tent. Lu Fang looked up and saw that Wang Foer had entered the tent. Seeing that it was his beloved general, Lu Fang patted Hu Shui and smiled, "It's Foer! There are only you and me here, there, there is no need to be polite, sit down and talk!"

Wang Fo'er still bowed and bowed, and only stood up after giving the full tribute and said in a deep voice: "Lord, I'll say goodbye this time!"

"Say your goodbye? Where are you going?" Lu Fang was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but get up and ask, "Why don't I know?"

"I will go to Huai until this trip!"

"Fu'er, why are you going to Huaihe? The war has not yet been decided. Isn't it very dangerous for you to go there this time?" Lu Fang became more and more strange as he heard it, and he couldn't help but ask.

"I did not go this trip for him, but wanted to return home. Since the caravan ambushed on Huai, I have been incarnated by the lord. After ten years of reverence, I have been protecting my ancestors and have lived a life of life. Now the lord has accomplished a great cause and no longer needs a villain. The villain should return to Huai to protect his ancestors' tomb!"

Lu Fang was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Why did Fo'er say this? Now Guangling is still there. There are many people with the two ends of the prefectures and counties in Huainan. What great achievements have been achieved? Not to mention the world is turbulent. It is the place where you and I use our skills, but why do you say you want to return home? Even if my great achievements have been achieved in the future, Fo'er should live with me and share the joy of peace. How do you say such words? No, no!"

When Lu Fang said this, he had reached out and grabbed Wang Foer's sleeve.

Wang Foer shook his hand and pulled out his sleeve from Lu Fang's hand, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, you know that the great cause has not been achieved, but the generals fight with their hands and blades and walk with arrows and stones. What's the matter? It's just to grant his wife and son, and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke and the Duke have been born for generations? Now that Huainan has been broken, the lord holds the title of the fake court. Where can the generals be placed? If this continues, Foer will leave home and return home, and the generals will go to Bianjing!"

"Not it!" Lu Fang couldn't help but sweat when he heard this. He didn't expect that the matter would be so serious: "But if I became king, I would have to break the blame with Hou Liang. If he attacked with a large army, what should we do?"

"After Li Keyong in Hedong, his son Yazi ascended the throne, worked hard to govern, defeated the Liang army, united the towns, and fought with Zhu Wen to compete with Heshang. Although the Later Liang army was strong, its strength was weak, and it was actually unable to compete with me between Jianghuai. Nowadays, the generals in Huainan are both undecided. If the lord follows the hearts of the people and ascends to the throne as soon as possible, and commands the generals, they will definitely respond as much as possible. If he is hesitant and missed the opportunity, he will regret it!"

"This!" When Lu Fang heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved, thinking that he was still inferior to the ancients in some aspects, and it was difficult for him to truly understand the way people thought at that time. He was about to agree, but suddenly someone rushed into the outside of the tent and said repeatedly: "Lord, you're so happy, so happy!"

Lu Fang was sure of his deity and recognized that the person was Chen Yun. He saw that this subordinate who was very concerned about his demeanor had loosened the ribbon of the crown and hat under his chin. His head was tilted halfway and he didn't notice it. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Why are you so panicked? Could it be that Xu Wen, Guangling, suddenly came to surrender!"

Chen Yun did not hear Lu Fang's teasing intention at all and replied, "Although Xu Wen's legitimate son Xu Zhixun brought King Hongnong and King Wu Zhong's widow to surrender, and Li Yan, who was accompanied by the former Jianghuai Dynasty, was really a joy given by God!"

"This matter is serious!" Lu Fanghuo stood up, his face full of disbelief.

"This matter is of great importance, how dare I say nothing?" Chen Yun said anxiously: "Xu Zhixun and his group are waiting outside. The master can ask in person!"

After hearing Chen Yun's answer, Lu felt that he was a little disobedient by the sudden good news, so he was a little distracted by the question. After a little calmness, he returned to his usual calmness and ordered in a deep voice: "You should call Li Yan alone, I will ask him about the beginning and end of this matter first; and also ask Zhu Jin and Zhu Gong to come and let him secretly identify Xu Zhixun, Mrs. Shi, Yang Longyan and others. Don't be deceived by Xu Wen's cunning tricks."

"Here!" Chen Yun stood up and was about to leave, but Lu Fang reached out to stop him. Lu Fang made a tight gesture under his chin. Chen Yun realized that his head had been tilted, so he quickly claimed the crime, and then straightened his body and tied it tightly, and then he quickly stepped out of the tent.

"In this way, Xu Wen's injuries are still not healed. Is the military and political power in Guangling City in the hands of his adopted son Xu Zhigao?" Lu Fang nodded and asked. At this time, there were four people in the generous tent. Except for Lu Fang and Chen Yun and Zhu Jin who were sitting on both sides, the man sitting opposite him had a handsome face and a slight beard under his chin. It was Li Yan, who had just escaped from Guangling City with Xu Zhixun, who had just told the whole story to Lu Fang and the other three.

"What the lord says is exactly!" Li Yan nodded and replied, "That was because Xu Zhixun was so angry that although he was Xu Wen's legitimate son, his power fell into the hands of Xu Zhigao, who was just an adopted son, that he secretly gathered the dead soldiers, intercepted Mrs. Shi and Yang Longyan, and rebeled under the lord's command."

"So that's it. I'm telling me why it can make him vote to me, who is his father's mortal enemy!" Lu Fang said this and sneered: "What a man who is a person who is cold-hearted by nature can even betrayed his biological father. Who in the world dares to believe it and use it for him!"

"What the lord said is very good!" Li Yan looked at Lu Fang's expression. He knew that after this incident, the man in front of him was the lord of the southeast. His achievements in the second half of his life were all tied to the other party's thoughts. He carefully followed Lu Fang's joy and anger: "As far as I see below, although Xu Wen is the master, he has great strength in using the world. The people he chose are mostly wise and not limited by his own closeness. Although Xu Zhigao was not old, he was quite talented, far superior to Xu Zhixun. Therefore, he handed over the power to Xu Zhigao with his talent.

Xu Zhixun, who was not his own parent-child, did not expect that the Lord would act in accordance with the heavens and respond to the people, and the heavens would seize the spirit of the thief, so that he would be in chaos, and our army would enjoy the success!" At the end of this, Li Yan flattered Lu Fang without a trace. He was originally a child of a noble family. When he was in Chang'an, he served as the General of Jinwu by Emperor Zhaozong of Tang. If he had such a verbal flattery, he would be the first in the Zhenhai Army. However, he had no chance to perform when he was in Huainan. At this time, he naturally had to make great efforts to play and punch.

Lu Fang nodded, turned around and asked Zhu Jin, "Mr. Zhu, I heard that you were once entrusted by Xu Wen to teach Xu Zhixun's military strategy. I wonder what you think of this person?"

Zhu Jin snorted coldly and replied: "The first thing in military tactics is to calm down and wait for the opportunity to move. That guy is beating his mind and ignoring small profits but not knowing the distance. How can he learn military tactics? I think he will sooner or later die! " Zhu Jin had already learned from the defeated soldiers who escaped from the city that he had left the concubine who was left in the city after surrendering to Zhenhai. Naturally, there would be no good words from him from him.

Lu Fang smiled and turned his head to Chen Yun. As Lu Fang was in the position of the ruler of the people for a long time, he was the ruler and his minister in the chaotic times, and then he could see the despair everywhere. As a ruler, if he wanted to be self-reliant, in addition to combining kindness and responsibilities to his subordinates and threatening them with heavy punishments, more importantly, he must be cunning and profound, and he must not let his subordinates guess the thoughts, which will lead to Tai A's rebellion. Sooner or later, something big will happen. Therefore, although Lu Fang despises Xu Zhixun on the surface, his deep thoughts are to put them into practice.

There are two reasons for his own use: First of all, no matter how despicable and shameless Xu Zhixun's behavior is, it is indeed a great contribution to Lu Fang. Guangling is about to be destroyed. Lu Fang urgently needs to recruit the remnants of Huainan forces, which is of great demonstration significance for Xu Zhixun's treatment; secondly, although Xu Zhixun is morally despicable, the means of driving the ministers to the masters are nothing more than rewards and punishments. If the ministers are morally impeccable and are extremely indifferent to fame and fortune, then what methods should the superiors use to drive him?

Besides, in the troubled times, some things are difficult and cannot be done by ordinary people. On the contrary, shameless people like Xu Zhixun can do them well. From this perspective, Xu Zhixun is a rare talent. After all, not everyone can betray his father and seek honor. If this person has a strange intention in the future, he will find a reason to kill him. Anyway, no one will speak for him when he dies, and there will be no negative impact. Lu Fang deliberately did not say what he said in his heart. On the one hand, there was a saying in ancient times that "he is a filial son at home and a loyal minister in court." First, he criticized Xu Zhixun first to avoid setting a bad example for his subordinates, and second, he also wanted to first look at the views of these trusted ministers and not let them easily guess their own feelings.

"What the lord and the lord Zhu said is very much, but!" Chen Yun said this and said: "Although Xu Zhixun is despicable and shameless, now it is the time to deal with Huainan. He sent Yang Longyan and Mrs. Shi to us. Whether he proclaimed himself as king or used Yang Xingmi's remaining power to deal with Huainan, he really made great contributions. The ancients said, "A master must be clearly rewarded and punished. Those who have made great grudges will be rewarded even if they have deep hatreds, and those who have failed will be punished even if they love each other!" Our army has been fighting with Huainan for many years. There are many old resentments among the generals in Huainan. If they do not reward this person heavily, they are afraid that they will surrender to Ma Yin, Zhu Wen and others, and turn to become our army's great enemy."

"Which book means to reward this person with great reward?" Lu Fang looked embarrassed: "But if this is the case, I'm afraid it will ruin the trend and be reborn for generations!"
