They all say I'm a tyrant

As soon as the imperial decree came out, it quickly spread throughout the city. There had been no wars in the Southern Wei Dynasty for a long time. Although there were frictions in the southwest, the journey was long after all. The previous battle reports were sent directly to Lin Ce. Even many people in the court It was concealed from the past, and the people in the city knew nothing about it.But the current situation is quite different from the original one. What was originally a small-scale conflict has now evolved into a formal war between two countries or even many countries.

Although the general trend of the world is that the long-term division must be united, and the long-term division must be divided. It is impossible to have long-term peace and harmony. This is a definite number.But for the most ordinary people, as long as there is a war, it means that someone will die. Even if the battlefield is thousands of miles away from them, they will worry about whether they will be affected by the war.

After all, for ordinary people, what they want is only a peaceful and prosperous world, so that they can spend this life safely and smoothly. As for other things, they are not within the scope of their consideration.

It is precisely because of this that a general must take it as his duty to protect the peace of the world.They can fight, but they don't want to fight, they avoid war, but they are never afraid of war.

After the early court, many people gradually came to their senses, and made various speculations about the reason why Lin Ce finally chose Tao Jiang as the marching commander to fight this inevitable war, but these people's opinions were never in Tao Jiang's consideration. After receiving the imperial decree in the army, he began to train and prepare, entrusted military affairs, and collected food and grass for early departure.

Since handing over the military talisman that day, You Yan has never asked about military affairs, let alone been in the army. Because Tao Jiang and several generals were there, he went to the palace every month to report military affairs to Lin Ce , everything in the army is in order.But now that Tao Jiang is about to leave, there is a lack of someone who can take charge of the overall situation in the army, so You Yan starts to go back and forth between the army and take over military affairs from Tao Jiang.

These are not difficult problems for You Yan, even if Tao Jiang is not around, the other generals in the army are all You Yan's former subordinates, they are loyal and reliable to You Yan.Compared with these, he was more worried about the situation in the southwest. It is said that Tao Jiang led the army to support this time. In terms of combat power, it can be said that the victory is sure, but he always has a faint worry in his heart.

After all, the situation in the Southwest has greatly exceeded their previous expectations, especially the lord of the Fan Kingdom who is so bold and reckless, and wants to use the power of the whole country to fight the Southern Wei Dynasty. What back hand or hole card.

You Yan is used to being sure of everything, but this time he still doesn't feel completely at ease.This was also the reason why he wanted to go to the southwest before, because if the Lord of Fan had any conspiracy, he was confident that he could deal with it. As for others, even Tao Jiang, he was worried that he would accidentally fall for it.

You Yan thought over and over again, but did not tell Lin Ce his worries. After all, the matter of Chunwei is still going on, and Lin Ce is still focusing most of his energy on it. As for the Southwest War, even if there is a conspiracy, Lin Ce has nothing to do. Tao Jiang, who is about to face the battle situation, should be more vigilant.

"General, what do you mean, do you think that the Lord of Fan Kingdom will have a backup?" Tao Jiang was riding on a horse, dressed in military uniform. Not far behind him were the soldiers of the three armies who were about to follow him all the way to the southwest. They were ready to wait. Fa, just waiting for Lin Ce to come and practice for them in person later.And because You Yan had some worries in his heart, he came to the scene early, just to give Tao Jiang a few more words.

Tao Jiang never dared to ignore You Yan's words. He pondered, "However, based on the strength of the two countries, even if he has any conspiracy, he can't change the situation of the battle. Things on the battlefield are complicated and complicated, but simple. It’s also simple, when the two armies meet, it will ultimately depend on strength, whoever survives will be the final winner.”

You Yan frowned slightly: "I know that you have always had confidence in the strength of your opponents, but don't be too arrogant. After all, it is the Southwest, and you are not familiar with the place of life. You are just a reinforcement. You are only dealing with a Guo Zhun. It’s not that easy. So you should be cautious in everything.”

Tao Jiang responded: "This subordinate understands. After this subordinate goes to the southwest, we will take more precautions. If there is any problem that cannot be solved, we will contact you as soon as possible. We will never be arrogant and underestimate the enemy."

You Yan reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "It's also possible that I was worrying too much. It's just that the southwest is too far away. If something happens, it will be difficult for me to help you in time, so you can only rely on yourself and think more. Be careful at all times, after all, you are traveling with [-] troops behind you, as well as the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty."

Tao Jiang cupped his hands towards You Yan: "General, don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint you and Your Majesty."

You Yan nodded: "When you arrive in the southwest, first send spies to investigate the situation in the country of Fan, especially find a way to find out how the leader of the country of Fan colluded with several other small countries, besides these small countries that participated in the war, are there any other Hidden dangers." He lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and continued, "The second is to investigate the reasons for the previous defeat in detail to see if there are any other hidden dangers besides the problems in the battle report."

"My subordinate understands."

"Also, when going to the southwest, remember to restrain the soldiers you accept, especially to get along well with the southwest army. Don't underestimate or offend each other, so as not to cause civil strife before the battle, and it is easy to cause changes on the battlefield. When You Yan said this, he raised his head and looked at Tao Jiang, "I have told my mother about your marriage before, and my mother seems to have found some suitable candidates. I wanted to ask you to go to the mansion to discuss it when I had time , but I don’t want the war to start now, so I can only delay it.”

Tao Jiang laughed: "Then I would like to thank the old lady for your trouble. However, I remembered an ancient saying that was very famous before. The Xiongnu were not destroyed. How could they be home? If the war in the southwest is not pacified, I will not have the face to go to the mansion to discuss it." For this matter, I will pay a visit to the mansion on the day when I return from a great victory. At that time, the general should not be stingy, and remember to reward me with your own good wine."

You Yan frowned slightly: "One is you, one is special, one is thinking about my good wine, and the other is thinking about my good tea, how did I meet you two enemies?"

"I heard that you, general, have been living in the palace recently. Whether it's good wine or tea, the palace is full of it. Isn't your majesty willing to give it to you?" Tao Jiang said with a smile. They are not outsiders, one is your most capable subordinate, and the other is your nephew, don't the fat and water flow to outsiders, so many good things, you always have to share them."

"Really?" You Yan snorted softly, "Then why are you willing to give Lin Jue the fine wine you treasured, but never thought of using it to honor me?"

"Hey, can you be the same as Mr. Lin?" Tao Jiangdao, "Mr. Lin and I are considered to be, what is it called, a friend of a gentleman, I drank the good wine from him, so naturally I have to return the courtesy, otherwise wouldn't it look like me? I'm rude. Besides, Mr. Lin is not your friend, General, if I were rude to him, wouldn't it still be yours?"

"Now you are eloquent and clear-headed. It seems that I don't have to worry about you at all." You Yan has already explained almost the things that You Yan wanted to explain. They dispersed quite a bit. Although he was worried, he was still very relieved of Tao Jiang. He raised his hand and patted Tao Jiang's shoulder, "I've said what I need to say. The rest, wait until the southwest. It’s all up to you. It’s almost time now, and His Majesty is probably coming soon, so you should go back to the front of the army and get ready.”

After saying that, You Yan cupped his hands towards Tao Jiang: "I wish the general a smooth sailing and a great victory. Then I will prepare a banquet in the mansion to welcome you."

Tao Jiang earnestly returned a salute: "Tao Jiang is invisible, accepting this heavy responsibility, he will work with the soldiers of the three armies to protect the safety of the people in the Southwest and the Southern Wei Dynasty, and he will never let the general down."

You Yan nodded lightly: "I believe you." He turned around, glanced at the tower not far away, saw a faint figure appearing on it, and nodded, "Go, Your Majesty has arrived. "

Tao Jiang responded, flicked his horsewhip, and headed towards the tower. You Yan reached out and touched the horse's mane. After watching his figure go away, he turned his horse's head and walked towards the side door.

Despite all kinds of gossip and rumors in the court, the Holy Majesty personally went out of the city to practice for the three armies, which shows that he attaches great importance to this Southwest War.Lin Ce has always been reticent, even if he came to practice it himself, he didn't have much to say. He just raised his wine cup and had a drink with the three armies. The dust was flying all over the ground, and then slowly dissipated, and everything returned to silence.

You Yan boarded the tower, looked at the rising sun not far away, and then turned to Lin Ce who seemed to be shining under the cover of the rising sun. The army had gone far, but he was still standing here, wondering what he was thinking about.The guards around him didn't dare to ask, only You Yan stepped lightly, walked up to him and stopped: "What are you looking at?"

Lin Ce turned his head and glanced at him, barely showing a smile, but his face was not relaxed at all: "I was looking at the [-] soldiers just now. Four years ago, they were also here. You led [-] soldiers. Rush to the northwest. Although we won that battle in the end, only a few thousand of the [-] soldiers returned to the capital in the end."

Lin Ce closed his eyes slightly: "So I was thinking, how many of these [-] soldiers will be able to come back in the end." Speaking of this, he shook his head mockingly, "But I couldn't help but feel that I It's too hypocritical to be like this now, they are fighting for me, for the country of the Southern Wei Dynasty, but I am here to hurt the spring and the autumn."

"We all understand that wars require people to shed blood and sacrifice, but it doesn't mean we need to adapt to these things. For a king, we should have the world in mind and make decisions about life and death, but we should also have a heart of kindness. This is not in conflict." You Yan wrapped his arms around his waist. , looking in the direction Tao Jiang left just now, "We all know that these 3 people can't all come back. They also know it themselves, but they still go without hesitation. I have confidence in Tao Jiang, and he will try his best." Yes, bring the most people back."
