The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1995 What happened that year

Fang Yun nodded and looked at Gu Mingzhou.

"Gu Shangshu, the intention to kill barbarians is the same, but the reasons for killing barbarians are different. You said that we kill barbarians for the country and the people, which is not comprehensive. We do not sacrifice our lives to kill demons and barbarians, not for those who are afraid of death and do not want to die. Those who let us die are for the sake of the citizens who are not afraid of death and who support us to defend our country even if they are afraid of death! When war comes, we have no choice."

Gu Mingzhou bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Fang Xusheng's words are very reasonable, but if our people in Jingguo move south and get help from Wuguo and Qingguo, many fewer people will die and we will also win. No matter it is Either the military method or the method of any family is the best choice."

Fang Yun smiled and said: "It's me that Demon Saint Wolf Slaughter wants to kill. As long as you hand me over, the barbarians will stop going south. Why don't you hand me over?"

Gu Mingzhou took a peek at Liu Shan, coughed slightly, and said: "If it is out of selfish motives to save his life, I really hope that Fang Xusheng Qingyi Baiyun will come out of the fortress to resolve the demon saint's anger and save the entire Jingguo. But out of public interest, Fang Xu The Holy Spirit has made such a great contribution to the human race, which far exceeds that of hundreds of millions of people. This kind of thing cannot be done. "

Fang Yun said: "No, many people know in their hearts that even if I are handed over to the barbarians, the conflict between Jingguo and the barbarians will not be resolved, and the problem between the human race and the barbarians will not be resolved. At most, it will only be delayed for a few years. Yes, yes Escape has the same problem. If you defend and win, all problems will be solved; if you lose, the final If hope is dashed, there is no regret in retreating. However, if we retreat directly, regardless of whether we regret it or not, the series of problems caused by the retreat will be a huge burden in the long run. Even smaller. Fleeing without fighting breaks the backs of Jingguo people and breaks the legs of human beings!”

"As long as there is life, we in Jingguo can restore the backbone, and the human race can restore the broken legs!" Gu Mingzhou said plausibly.

"The barbarians will not give us time, and the demon world will not give us time either! You don't know the difference between a country that fights back even if it fails, and a country that flees as soon as it collapses. The former will know its shame and then become brave. , but the latter only left humiliation and became a stain on history, which will last forever.”

Many scholars nodded slightly. The difference between the two was too big, but they couldn't understand why Fang Yun's words were so heavy, as if they had experienced the humiliation of the country.

Gu Mingzhou took a deep breath and said loudly: "Jingjun is extremely benevolent and righteous. For the sake of the people of Jingguo, you can cede the king to Fang Xusheng. Then, for the sake of the people of Jingguo, why not cede the land and people to Qingguo?" He Wu Guo? We are all human beings, and we will all fight against monsters and barbarians. If the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the casualties are reduced, then future generations will only praise Jingjun, and he will never be infamous for thousands of years."

"presumptuous!"

Many officials scolded Gu Mingzhou, but Gu Mingzhou didn't care.

"Is that fatuous master of Qingjun worthy of taking over Jingguo? Are those delicate and flower-like Qingguo soldiers worthy of fighting alongside our good men of Jingguo?" Fang Yun did not hide his contempt.

"Well said!"

All military scholars applauded loudly and supported Fang Yun.

Fang Yun then said: "The ancient minister is right about one thing. If the king of Jing is on the verge of destruction and the king is willing to entrust the country to the kingdom of Wu, I will not object. By then, the ancient minister will definitely become a hero of the kingdom of Wu. "

Gu Mingzhou was startled by Fang Yun's move, sweatdrops broke out, and he hurriedly looked towards Liu Shan.

Not only the experienced officials, but also the young man Jing Jun on the dragon throne almost laughed.

Liu Shan is the leader of Zongsheng, and Zongsheng is from Qingguo.

Jingguo was destroyed, and the Zong family and Qingguo only accepted two possibilities. Either Jingguo's territory was completely occupied by barbarians, or Jingguo surrendered to Qingguo. If Jingguo surrendered to Wuguo, all the plans of the Zongjia and Qingguo would be in vain.

Qingguo would rather let Jingguo maintain the status quo and consider the long term, rather than draw water from a bamboo basket and get nothing.

Gu Mingzhou even suspected that Liu Shan had the intention to kill him now.

Fang Yun said: "Gu Shangshu, it seems that you yourself have to admit that Jingguo is not suitable to join any country now. Therefore, we have no choice to retreat, we can only hold on! Until we shed our last blood."

Liu Shan suddenly raised his head, his old face seemed to have regained its youth, his eyes were bright and full of stars.

"Since Saint Fangxu is in charge of the battle, why not go to the Third Battle Fort to fight against the barbarians?"

There was silence in the Jinluan Palace.

At this moment, almost everyone realized that Liu Shan had been preparing for this moment for a long time.

Fang Yun suddenly smiled.

"When I was in Yuhai City, Zhang Poyue went north. I gave him a poem. I believe everyone still remembers it. It was the poem 'After all, in June on Pinghu Lake, the scenery is different from that of the four seasons. The lotus leaves in the sky are infinitely green. "The lotus flowers are so red in the sun." After going north, he kept his promise and gave me a royal hawk demon in return, and he is now a demon lord. "

Fang Yun paused and looked around the crowd, then continued: "I'm afraid only those who were present at that time remember that I once said that if General Zhang kindly invites me, I can kill the enemy under his command and protect my family and country. Now Zhang Poyue Being captured, I must keep my past promise and march north to rescue General Zhang!"

The Jinluan Palace became even quieter, and everyone looked at Fang Yun in disbelief.

"Aijia, I don't agree!" the Queen Mother said firmly.

"I am also opposed to this!" Literary Minister Jiang Hechuan said with a cold face.

"I don't agree with it either!"

Many officials spoke out against it.

"My sage, I have decided to leave."

Fang Yun sat on the Taishi chair and looked around.

"What if Wolf Slaughter breaks the rules and attacks you personally in order to kill you?" Jiang Hechuan said.

"I very much hope that he will do this, so that the saints of the human race will have the opportunity to join hands and go north to kill him, and at the same time wash away the grass barbarians with holy energy and help Jingguo out of trouble." Fang Yun said.

"If you die in battle, what will happen to the country?"

"Lang Sha doesn't have the ability to hide from the Holy Court and kill me." Fang Yun said.

"Okay, even if the wolf can't take action, how will you escape if many barbarian kings surround you? At that time, only the saints can save you, and the human race will break the rules first."

"My strength is naturally not as good as the Barbarian King, but if they want to kill me, that is just wishful thinking." Fang Yun said.

Jiang Hechuan said helplessly: "If you go, I can only accompany you."

"Commander... I should also go north." Chen Zhixu said.

Liu Shan nodded and said: "If there are many great scholars to protect him, Fang Xusheng's journey north will be smooth. However, is Fang Xusheng going north to save Zhang Poyue, or is he preparing to hold on to the Third Company Battle Fort?"

Fang Yun pondered for a moment and said: "The purpose of building the Three Battle Forts at that time was to hinder the barbarians. Otherwise, the barbarians would march straight to the outside of Ning'an City, and the veterans who fled from the three sides would also be hunted down. Now that we have blocked the barbarians, we have saved Hundreds of thousands of veterans, and all new mechanisms have been After being verified, the mission of the Three-Company Battle Fort has been completed. In my opinion, instead of defending the Three-Company Battle Fort, it is better to lead everyone in the Battle Fort to retreat to Ning'an City and use Ning'an City as a base to fight the final battle. If we are defeated, we can retreat easily.”
