They all say I'm a puppet

After arguing again and again, the Zhou army finally reached a consensus, and decided to take back the remaining few towns in the southwest, and when all other places in the southwest are completely under their own hands, Xiping City will completely become an isolated city. Without any support, at that time, even if Chen Yuan and Zhao Ying resisted stubbornly, Xiping City would sooner or later become the possession of the Great Zhou.

Perhaps because the winning ticket is already in hand, even though he knew that Chen Yuan was in Xiping City, Cang Lin didn't feel the slightest urgency. He still guarded Hanyang City safely, waiting for the conquest armies sent back from time to time. information.

If we say that when he first came to the southwest, he was just a young general, with only martial arts and some strategies on paper.And now, after going through many battles, he has begun to become a marshal who commands the overall situation and strategizes.

When he had nothing back then, he could only desperately seize the opportunity to learn martial arts with Xun Cheng and study with Mr. Su. He didn't think too much about it at that time. For him at that time, it was just a way to change his situation of being bullied by others. Opportunity is the confidence he uses to protect Fuyu.He only occasionally hopes that one day when he has the opportunity to fight Chen Yuan to the death, all the hard work he has done today can forge his victory.

Only now did he suddenly understand that throughout the ages, the person sitting in the highest position may not necessarily be the one with superb martial arts and profound knowledge, but those people who can achieve great things have the ability to fight for themselves.Just like what Xun Cheng had told him back then, if he fought Chen Yuan one-on-one, Chen Yuan would definitely not be his opponent, but people like Chen Yuan would never give him such a chance.

Although Chen Yuan did not achieve any great achievements, but he was able to quickly take control of the government after the death of Emperor Yuankang in the Southern Xia Dynasty, and still occupy a seat after retreating to the southwest, making He Hongyi extremely scrupulous about him, which shows that he is definitely not an ordinary person.Although this person is cruel and tyrannical, he is extremely good at resisting people. He has a group of loyal subordinates who have been following him for many years and are driven by him without any complaints. Standing by his side one by one, brought Chen Yuan to the current situation, with Da Zhou's victory in his hands, Cang Lin still didn't dare to underestimate Chen Yuan.

To achieve great things, it is not necessary to personally go to battle to kill the enemy, but must be able to grasp the situation, make decisive decisions, seize the best opportunity, and moreover, control people's hearts so that they can be used for their own use.This is the biggest harvest of Canglin Southwest and his party.

Several armies have been dispatched successively to several surrounding cities.Cang Lin was still sitting in Hanyang City, dealing with military affairs and dealing with the complicated affairs of the southwestern cities that had just been acquired. Chang Canglin even managed these complicated affairs in an orderly manner.

The weather is gradually warming up, and the climate in the southwest is far more sultry than in the capital. Fuyu is wearing only a silk robe, leaning on the low couch in front of the window, supporting her chin with one hand, and resting her other hand casually. On a book, occasionally turning a page.He has been in the southwest for several months, seeing the weather getting hotter and hotter, even Cang Lin occasionally finds it hard to adapt, but Fu Yu doesn't seem to feel anything, and he still lives comfortably every day Leisurely, never see him have the slightest anxiety.

Occasionally, Cang Lin raised his head from the complicated official documents, and looked at Fu Yu's figure sitting there quietly, as if his whole body had also become still, and he couldn't even feel the heat of the weather.Sometimes Cang Lin couldn't believe that this person leaning on the couch and concentrating on reading could be that humble little emperor back then.Time seems to have passed for a long time, they seem to have changed a lot, but the relationship between them will not change in any way.

Fu Yu casually raised his hand to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, just in time to meet the gaze of God Lin looking at him, the corners of his mouth could not help but raised upwards, this seemed to be a kind of tacit understanding between the two, many times they were in the same room You don't even need to say a word if you stay here all morning, but when you look up and see that person sitting there, you will feel at ease.

The door was knocked from outside, Cang Lin raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, an old friend is visiting." Jing Yi's voice sounded from outside.Since Cang Lin moved into Hanyang City, Jing Yi and Jing Feng have appeared beside Cang Lin as personal bodyguards. On the surface, they are protecting the marching commander, but in fact they are to protect Fu Yu more conveniently.

Cang Lin put down the pen in his hand, and frowned slightly: "Old friend? What old friend do I have in Hanyang City?"

When Cang Linzheng was surprised, the door was pushed open without hesitation, and Xun Cheng's figure appeared at the door: "Why, I haven't seen you for a few months. King Jin became the marshal of the army. After regaining the southwest and making outstanding military exploits , don’t remember the old man?”

Cang Lin's eyes were startled at first, but a smile appeared in the next moment: "I just didn't expect you to travel so far to come here. Why, it's because the capital city is boring, so you came to me to relax?"

With a smile on the corner of Xun Cheng's lips, he first glanced at Fu Yu by the window: "I thought the war was going to be tight, and His Royal Highness King Jin must have worked very hard, but now it seems that he is still very comfortable."

Fu Yu had already got up from the bench, and poured a cup of tea for Xun Cheng: "Master Xun came all the way from the capital to tease Cang Lin, right?"

Xun Cheng picked up the teacup, first sniffed it lightly, and then took a sip slowly, raising his brows upwards: "It's really good tea. Since Mr. Cheng... came back, Cang Lin's life has passed. much more precise."

The smile on Cang Lin's lips had faded, he glanced at Xun Cheng, and raised his eyebrows: "Tell me, what is the purpose of running all this way here? It can't be just to drink my cup of tea, right? Lord Xun is in the capital city, and he wants the wind to win the wind, and the rain to win the rain. As long as my father does not speak, no one will make things difficult for Lord Xun. Both the crown prince and the king of Chu are eager to draw you into their camp , why are you willing to come to the southwest at this time?"

Xun Cheng drank his tea slowly, until he finished drinking the whole teacup before raising his head and casually glanced at Cang Lin, with a slight smile on his lips: "The Southwest War is coming to an end, I can't watch Chen Yuan die in the There are some old accounts in other people's hands, and you have to settle them yourself, this is part of my cooperation with your father, he wants this world, and I want Chen Yuan's life."

Cang Lin raised his eyes slightly, stared at Xun Cheng for a long time, and then slowly lowered his eyes: "You have been too calm all these years, so calm that I have almost forgotten why you planned to stay with Chen Yuan back then. .I thought you had forgotten the grievances between you and Chen Yuan."

Xun Cheng smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Although they are all old accounts, unfortunately, I don't have many advantages in me for so many years, but a good memory is the most important thing. Obvious one."

He stretched his arms and yawned: "It's been too long, and it's time to end it, otherwise I'm really afraid that one day I will really forget it. After all, life is so easy now." He stood up, Walking to the map placed in the room, he stretched out his hand and counted the cities above, and finally stopped at Xiping City, "Looking at the tens of thousands of troops in the southwest, I am probably the only one who can kill Chen Chen with my own hands. Yuan." He looked up at Cang Lin, "Although I taught you your martial arts."

Cang Lin looked at Shang Fuyu with some surprises, just shook his head, got up and walked behind Xun Cheng: "Well, I will give orders on the day of the siege, and no one can change Chen Yuan's life." , only for you."

Xun Cheng looked back at him, and raised the corners of his lips: "Then thank you for your thoughtfulness. Then I hope that this battle will be over soon, but I promised Su He that when all these things are over, I want to accompany him on a study tour, Su and that sour scholar have a lot of problems, I don't want him to wait too long." He turned around, concealed all the emotion in his eyes just now, and returned to the old days "Okay, since you have promised me, I can feel at ease. I have come thousands of miles and traveled a long distance. The road is full of wind, food, and desolation. Will His Royal Highness King Jin hold a banquet for me today?"

Cang Lin smiled: "We never drink alcohol in the army, but since you have come thousands of miles away, you still help me, so I will make an exception and let them prepare a banquet to welcome Master Xun at night."

Xun Cheng hooked his lips, and deliberately arched his hands towards Cang Lin: "Then thank you, Your Highness King Jin." He yawned again, and returned to his lazy look, "I'll go to sleep first, at night See."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand at the two of them, and went out the door without looking back.

Standing at the door, Fu Yu watched Xun Cheng disappear quickly, turned around and looked at Cang Lin: "I forgot to ask you all this time, what happened between Xun Cheng and Chen Yuan?"

Cang Lin shook his head: "When he mentioned it that day, he only said that he had some old grievances with Chen Yuan, so he didn't want to say more. It's just that it can be remembered by him for so many years, and a person like him who has always been free-spirited is willing to cooperate with He Hongyi." , bound by Chen Yuan's side for many years, it must be a blood feud." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "No matter what the grievances are, when this matter is over, the war is over, and he gets rid of Chen Yuan himself, it will disappear. "
