Han Dao world

Chapter 103

Duan Yao looked up to the sky and laughed, feeling inexplicably happy.

He knew Zhang Ji wouldn't believe it.

When he first received the news, he didn't believe it, until his subordinates returned with a full load of spoils and told them what they saw and heard.

From their eyes, Duan Yan saw shock and worship.

worship of the strong.

After they finished talking about the story of Guo Wu's one-to-five, killing and capturing the flag in front of the battle, Duan Yan realized that the promise of the emperor was not out of reach, and there was even a slight possibility of it being realized.

Repelling Li Shi may only be the first step.

If life is gambling, betting on the emperor is obviously more beneficial than betting on Li Jue.

"Brother Zhang, I know, this sounds really unbelievable. You might as well wait a little longer, hasn't Axiu led Qianqi across the gorge? There should be news back soon. You can't believe me, you can't believe it he?"

Zhang Ji stroked his beard, stared at Duan Yan, hesitant to speak.

It sounds unreal for Sun Rui to repel Li Shi, but Duan Yan's expression does not seem to be fake.

As he said, it is a wise choice to wait for Zhang Xiu to send back the message before making a decision.

"Why, Brother Duan is planning to fight me?" Zhang Ji pretended to be disdainful and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I have always wanted to learn about the Duan family in Wuwei."

Duan Yan smiled lightly, and raised his whip lightly. "If you want to fight, I should accompany you. But I advise you not to worry, you might as well wait a few days and see the situation."

"Why?"

"Li Jue has more than [-] infantry and cavalry, and he will arrive in a short time. The court is full of battles and calculations, and the number of soldiers is less than [-]. According to common sense, the victory or defeat is a matter of two or three days. If Li Jue wins, what will happen next, I think you are also concerned about it. In case the imperial court wins, brother Zhang, if you are fighting with me now, wouldn't you be ruining your future?"

Zhang Jinong's brows were furrowed tightly, his eyes wandered a little.

He understood Duan Yao's meaning.

The possibility of the imperial court defeating Li Jue is very small. Once Li Jue wins, he will have to face the choice of peace or war with Li Jue.

He and Guo Si are good friends, but Guo Si has torn faces with Li Jue. With Li Jue's suspicious temperament, it is impossible to believe him.

He didn't believe Li Jue either.

Next, there will inevitably be another fierce battle, and the enemy is Li Jue.

That being the case, why attack the emperor now and help Li Jue?

It's better to stand on the sidelines and watch Li Jue and the court fight desperately, and both sides will suffer.

Besides, even if he wanted to help Li Jue, he had to break through Duan Yan's block.

Duan Yan didn't intend to let him pass like this, so he deliberately used the word "desperately".

He didn't want to fight Duan Yao desperately.

Duan Yan has always been known for his stability. The offense may not be fierce enough, but the defense is extremely tenacious.Even if he can defeat Duan Yan, he will suffer heavy losses, and he will have no energy left to face Li Jue.

Instead of this, it's better to give Duan Yan a face, wait a few days, and see the situation.

"How many days are you talking about?" Zhang Ji sneered, "Even if I give you face, I can't keep waiting like this, can I?"

Duan Yan raised his hand, shook it lightly, and said lightly: "Five days. After five days, if the court loses, I will go west with you."

Zhang Ji nodded in agreement.

Five days passed in a flash, not too long.

After listening to Liu Xie's analysis, Yang Feng's confidence increased greatly.

He followed Liu Xie's suggestion and recruited all the captains and school lieutenants of each battalion to the Central Army for discussion.

The so-called discussion is to express their views on the current situation.

For Liu Xie, he had done this kind of thing not long ago in Dong Chengying, and this time he was more comfortable.

For Yang Xiu, this was the first time. It was an eye-opener and he was dumbfounded.

The order of the military discussion was good at the beginning, facing the emperor, these generals still had some sense of awe, but as the debate intensified, coupled with Liu Xie's deliberate provocation, they gradually forgot Liu Xie's status as the emperor, and only regarded it as the emperor. A young man who was ignorant of the world and humbly asked for advice became a little presumptuous.

According to Yang Xiu's incomplete statistics, there were at least three people with staring eyes and yellow teeth, who uttered nonsense to Liu Xie, saying things like "You know what a fool" and "Have you ever cut someone down?" On Liu Xie's face, even Yang Xiu was affected.

But Liu Xie was not angry, and while wiping his face, he replied with a smile, "I haven't beaten it" or "I haven't chopped it off".

Yang Feng was a little nervous at first, but after seeing that the emperor really didn't care, he was relieved and happily participated in the debate.Speaking of excitement, I almost got into a scuffle with a captain, and was finally pulled away to greet each other's relatives.

Yang Xiu was terrified when he saw it, and tugged on Liu Xie's sleeve several times.

Liu Xie looked back at him and laughed out loud.

"Scared?"

"My minister is insignificant, Your Majesty, how can you be with these..." Yang Xiu looked at the soldiers with red faces and thick necks, and subconsciously lowered his voice.If you really want to anger these people, they don't care if they are the sons of the Taiwei, they can't bear to punch them.

Liu Xie is calm and composed. "On the battlefield, sometimes it's just about being ruthless, and whoever is ruthless will survive."

For work in his previous life, he had experienced many similar scenes, fighting with colleagues, leaders, customers, and competitors, and it was a lot of fun.Speaking of fierceness, it is not uncommon for literary fights to turn into martial fights.

Now it's just a different scene, a different content, and a different identity.

He is not an ordinary white-collar worker now, but the emperor who rules the world, and there is a master like Wang Yue standing behind him as a bodyguard, so there is no need to worry that anyone will dare to do anything to him.

"In terms of intensity, Confucian scholars' debates are not inferior." Liu Xie said: "He Zi also said that Zheng Kangcheng entered his room and used his weapon to attack?"

Liu Xie had heard this story in his previous life, and he also has memories of this life. The combination of the two is very interesting.

Yang Xiu froze for a moment, a little embarrassed. "Your Majesty, this... how can the two be the same?"

"Life and death are important matters, isn't it better to have a few classics to learn the truth?"

Yang Xiu smacked his lips, but stopped talking.

He thought of Cai Yan again.

Even if he is full of poems and books, what can he do? If he can't win this battle, he will probably become a servant of the people of Xiliang like Cai Yan.

"Of course, it can't be said that there is no difference." Liu Xie changed the subject. "For things like combat, one must not only sit and talk about it, but also act on it. If you talk about it, if you can't defeat the enemy, it is empty talk."

"Then..." Yang Xiu was a little unconvinced. "According to His Majesty, doesn't it mean that everyone does not need to study, as long as they can pick up a knife and cut people?"

"Naturally, you must read books, but you must also have a knife in your hand." Liu Xie remembered what a real big cow said. "There is a difference between not having a knife in your hand and not having a knife in your hand. The truth lies only in the edge of the knife."

Yang Xiu was stunned, and looked at the smiling Liu Xie, but couldn't help but feel a chill.

He kept saying that he wanted to learn from Guangwu Zhongxing, but his attitude towards Confucianism was completely different from that of Emperor Guangwu.

Reluctantly, his remarks are more like Qin Shihuang and Emperor Xiaowu.

Will he be a militaristic tyrant?
Yang Xiu was worried.
