They all say I'm a puppet

From the capital to the southwest, the [-] troops marched mightily for nearly a month before finally arriving in the southwest, temporarily stationed outside the city of Shu County for a short rest.The prefect of Shu County went out of the city to greet him personally, and respectfully invited Jin Wang He Canglin to live in the prefect's mansion, but Cang Lin refused. He just exchanged a few simple greetings. Because of his busy military affairs, he rejected the prefect's invitation and stationed outside the city of Shu County with the army.

Along the way, Cang Lin almost ate and lived with the army, without any sense of superiority because of his status as prince and marshal.On the contrary, many people in the army who have always been unfavorable to him have greatly changed their opinion of him. Among them, the most obvious ones are the two marching chiefs, Sun Qian and Wu Ying.

Wu Ying looks more introverted, so his attitude is actually not very obvious, but the change of extroverted Sun Qian is more intuitive.Before he set out for the expedition, he should have heard a lot of rumors about Canglin in the capital. Like most people, he thought that the King of Jin had mediocre aptitude, and he was all focused on raising male favorites, so when he first faced Canglin The attitude is not very polite.But after getting in touch with him, he found that this King Jin seemed to be much stronger than he had imagined. In addition, Cang Lin usually leads people with humility and courtesy but is neither humble nor overbearing. The most important thing is that although his views are often unexpected, there is always a reason for him when he thinks about it carefully. Occasionally, even Wu Ying can't help being amazed.

Sun Qian and Wu Ying have known each other for many years, and he trusts his old friend very much, even to the point of blind obedience.He sensed Wu Ying's appreciation for Cang Lin, so his attitude when facing Cang Lin changed almost drastically.

And all these changes were noticed by Cang Lin calmly.But he didn't seem to notice anything, every day he was not reading books and studying maps in the tent, or went to the school field to practice martial arts with the soldiers.Over the past few days, those who are interested have gradually discovered that no matter where the marshal appears, there will always be a young guard with a thin body and a handsome appearance behind him.

It's not uncommon for a dignified marching marshal to have one or two guards behind him, but the face of this guard is too handsome, plus the rumor that King Jin is a broken sleeve, it's hard not to let people think too much.But what was unexpected was that the two marching chiefs didn't say anything, so although some people in the army had objections, they never made much noise.

It seemed that even Cang Lin himself was not disturbed.

But in fact, Cang Lin is very clear about all the rumors in the army. Apart from Jing Yi and Jing Feng, there are many people in the army who he arranged in advance. These people are hidden in various positions in the army. The soldiers were no different, and even Cang Lin himself couldn't possibly recognize them.They don't have direct contact with Cang Lin, but they are able to convey all the troubles in the army to Cang Lin's ears immediately.

Cang Lin glanced over the note in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly after reading it, and threw the note aside casually, then reached out to pick up the map from the desk, and looked down again.

Fu Yu had just washed his face, and came around from behind the screen. He had just accompanied Cang Lin to the school field for a while, and after Cang Lin sparred with several lieutenants for a few rounds, he turned around and decided to give Fu Yu a try. Skills, learn a few tricks with him.Fu Yu had known for a long time that this man had been learning martial arts from Xun Cheng for a long time, and his martial arts were so strong that he couldn't even count as a three-legged cat's kung fu. war.

The results are of course self-evident.In fact, Fu Yu could feel that Cang Lin was merciful, but the difference in strength between the two was too great. In the end, Fu Yu rolled the dirt all over his body and returned to the camp panting and sweating. Lin, he looked rather refreshed.

Fu Yu casually took the note from Cang Lin's book case, and after hastily scanning it, looked at Cang Lin, and teased: "The rumors of His Royal Highness Jin's good manhood spread from the capital to the army, this time I'm afraid he will join the army again. It has been transmitted back to the capital."

Cang Lin didn't care too much: "It's just some people chasing rumors. I ask myself that I didn't have any oversteps with you in the army, and you didn't enjoy any special exceptions. You marched all the way and suffered a lot. I This Marching Marshal has a clear conscience, even Sun Qian and Wu Ying can't find any faults, so what if I'm a good man?"

Fu Yu bent his lips to look at him, and stretched out his hand to bring the note closer to the candlelight: "You don't care, but Jing Yi and the others are very anxious to hear such rumors every day."

"Let them go." Cang Lin said, "The scouts who investigated Hanyang City have returned today. There are now [-] to [-] defenders in Hanyang City, and the city has been reinforced. Chen Yuan personally sits in the town, intending to defend Hanyang City to the death. We now Although the military strength is superior, Hanyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you don’t have a good countermeasure, you will easily end up with a lose-lose end if you attack directly.” He raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, “The battle is coming, and everything is the most important thing. Do you still care about these nonsense? When Hanyang City is successfully captured and the first victory is won, many people will be able to shut up."

Fu Yu picked up the scissors on the table, raised her hand and snipped off the candle wick to make the candle brighter, leaned over Cang Lin's shoulder and looked at the map.Hanyang City is dozens of miles west of Shujun City, and it is the first place where the southwest and Dazhou border.If you want to regain the southwest, you must first win Hanyang City.It is precisely because of this that Chen Yuan sent heavy troops to guard Hanyang City, intending to defend it to the death.

As Cang Lin said, under such circumstances, it is really not easy to capture Hanyang City.Although there is a chance of winning if you rely on the superiority of the force to attack, it will be a miserable victory.After all, the goal of their expedition is the entire Southwest, and they want to completely eradicate Chen Yuan's forces. If too many troops are sacrificed in Hanyang City, the chances of winning the subsequent battle will be much smaller.

Therefore, this first battle must be very cautious, and the first battle can only be won but not defeated.

The two stared at the map for a long time, relatively speechless.The two of them had never been in contact with any war before, and it was difficult to have any clues for a while. Their eyes were sore just looking at it, and they didn't think of any countermeasures.

The sky outside became dark again unconsciously, Cang Lin put down the map in his hand, looked up and saw Fu Yu's slightly red eyes, touched his face with some distress, closed the map with his hand back, and stood up : "Let's go here today. I've been sitting here for an hour, but I can't think of any way to do it. In the morning tomorrow, I will ask two marching chiefs and the generals under their tents to discuss together."

Fu Yu raised his hand and rubbed his eyes: "I used to think that marching and fighting depended on force, but now I think it depends on brains." He tapped his forehead and sighed In one breath, "I always thought that I should be considered quite smart, but looking at it now, I'm just a little smart. I might be able to take advantage of small things in private, but I can't help you with big things that are related to the country. It's no wonder that Nanxia came to me and perished. I was not born to be able to do such a thing. Even if the world is still in my hands, it will only harm the people of the world."

Cang Lin walked behind him, raised his hand to rub his forehead, and said in a warm voice: "You and I know the reason for the subjugation of Nanxia. It is a problem that has been accumulated little by little since your father's generation, and even your grandparents. When you sit At the time of the throne, everything was already irresolvable. In fact, even if Chen Yuan didn't do anything back then, and your short-lived elder brother sat in this position, Nan Xia would not be able to go for long. The fate of the country cannot be changed by manpower. Why blame yourself?"

Fu Yu leaned back, raised his head slightly to meet God's gaze, his eyes sparkled: "If someone writes history books in the future, mentioning me will be just a cowardly and incompetent person who is willing to be a puppet at the mercy of others. It’s just you. In your eyes, I will always be good. Even if I am useless and do nothing.”

Cang Lin lowered his head to look at the pair of eyes that were always shining, and couldn't help lowering his head, and kissed: "In the future, I will find someone to write the history books of the previous dynasty, especially the part about you. No one will be allowed to slander you."

Fu Yu rolled his eyes: "I haven't been enthroned yet, but I have a bit of an uncompromising emperor's demeanor, but it will only make people criticize me when I put it on this kind of thing."

"Then criticize it, it happens that you are a cowardly and incompetent king of subjugation, and I am a foolish king. After a hundred years, we will both be gone, and there will always be someone who will bring us up together. That's not bad. When Cang Lin said this, he couldn't help laughing, "As for myself, it's enough to be worthy of the world and the common people."

Fu Yu raised his hand, gently patted Cang Lin's hand that was still on his shoulder, sat up straight, stood up slowly, and stretched his waist: "Then let's talk about it later, if you are dignified I don't care about those things, so what should I care about." He leaned over and planted a kiss on Cang Lin's face, "It's time to watch the night, I'll walk around the camp with you."

Cang Lin raised his eyes and found that the little bit of haze left in Fu Yu's eyes just now had completely dissipated, it seemed to be like this all the time, nothing could make him care all the time, no matter it was regrets from the past or worries about the future, Because he has always lived clearly in the present.

Cang Lin reached out and hooked Gou Fuyu's fingers, and the wide sleeves of his robe covered the hands of the two: "Let's go, watch the night together."
