My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 233 The government and the public are shocked

A flood in Yunhe made Xie Yun a laughing stock and a shame in the eyes of Tiandu people. After all, he was overwhelmed by a flood without even having a head-on confrontation with the Guiyi Sect, and wasted a great opportunity to defeat the Guiyi Sect in one fell swoop.

What is even more infuriating is that according to feedback from many generals, Lu Fengxian reminded Xie Yun more than once to be careful of water attacks since he was still in heaven, but in the end Xie Yun was still defeated by water attacks.

Judging from the results, Xie Yun is undoubtedly a contemporary example of an incompetent general who exhausted the entire army. Countless scholars throughout the world sighed. The great opportunity was wasted by Xie Yun, an idiot who has no military skills. The entire In Tiandu, as long as there are places where scholars hang out, you can see them commenting on the battle of Yunhe.

They gave me advice one by one. Even if I were there, I wouldn't have made such a despicable mistake.

Fortunately, Xie Yun had led troops. How much of General Huben's official position was due to the Xie family's name?

Although Lu Fengxian, a reckless man, is also very annoying. He is usually arrogant and unreasonable, and dominates the courtesan in the spring, leaving many scholars without a place to have tea. But in this matter, Lu Fengxian was undoubtedly portrayed as a loyal man. A loyal minister who gave advice but was shunned by his narrow-minded boss.

Xie Yun wouldn't have been defeated so badly if he listened to Lu Fengxian's words.

Similar remarks seemed to pop up overnight after the news of Yunhe's defeat spread back to Tiandu.

"Did Fengxian do it?" In the lobby of the Xie family, Xie Yao rubbed his temples with a headache.

"No, according to the news sent by Miss Kui, General Lu has been staying at home for the past two days since he handed over the military power. Except for the occasional military general who came over to drink, he has not had any contact with any outsiders. Those military generals have also basically No contact with outsiders." The housekeeper shook his head and said: "According to our people's secret investigation, this incident may have been spread by the Guiyi Sect's secret work in Tiandu. Even if General Lu wanted to do such a thing, it would be impossible. It stirred up such a big public sentiment.”

It’s not that Lu Fengxian is not good at it, but spreading news is not something you can spread if you have high cultivation level. The fastest spreaders are probably the scholars. Lu Fengxian’s power in Tiandu is basically in the army. The scholars have a strong influence on Lu Fengxian. This person has never been very popular, how could he help Lu Bu become famous?

Xie Yao nodded silently. Although Lu Fengxian was greedy for money and lustful, he always did things in a measured way. This was indeed not like Lu Fengxian's style.

"Master, Mr. Yun is still kneeling outside the door." the housekeeper reminded.

"Let him get out!" Xie Yao snorted with a flash of anger in his eyes.

"Yes!" The housekeeper nodded, bowed and exited the room.

Soon, Xie Yun came in a little decadently and saluted Xie Yao: "Dad."

"I remember that Fengxian warned you to pay attention to water attacks more than once. According to the returning general, after you crossed the river, Fengxian personally went to remind you not to camp there. Why didn't you listen?" Xie Yao looked at Xie Yun and asked.

"I sent people to investigate and found that the water level of the Yun River has not changed since it thawed. I also sent people to patrol fifty miles up the Yun River, but no abnormalities were found!" Xie Yun defended.

"Trash!" Seeing that Xie Yun was still quibbling at this moment, Xie Yao grabbed the bamboo slips in his hand and smashed it directly on Xie Yun's head. The suppressed anger in his heart was released with a roar: "Fengxian is almost teaching you step by step how to do the three armies. Commander, no one who is good at fighting has great achievements. Regardless of whether the opponent is attacking with water or not, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, you must avoid possible risks as much as possible. It's better for you. Although others have told you a better choice, you chose the worst one. .”

"Dad, I am the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Why does Lu Fengxian point at me and make everyone think he is the commander-in-chief!" Xie Yun also shouted with some dissatisfaction.

Xie Yao was stunned for a moment, looking at his son, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and sighed: "No wonder Fengxian would rather offend you than choose Hui'er."

"Dad..." Xie Yun already regretted what he said. Hearing Xie Yao's words, he was even more shocked. He wanted to explain something but was interrupted by Xie Yao with a wave of his hand.

"You don't think that you can serve as the commander-in-chief of this troop dispatch because you have the talent to command the three armies, right?" Xie Yao asked Xie Yun a heart-wrenching question.

Xie Yun opened his mouth, wanting to admit it, but thinking about his poor record, he finally didn't say it. "In terms of bravery, military achievements, and military use, Fengxian is a hundred times better than you. I am willing to assist you, not because of your ability Xie Yun, but because of your father and my old faces. They are willing to protect you, not to mention Fengxian. This Among the people who are suitable to be the commander-in-chief in the court are Yu Wentong, your uncle Hao, and even Cao Jingzhong and Zhang Wang. They are all fifth-grade masters. Who is not more suitable than you? The court wants you to be the commander-in-chief. One is the joint name of my Xie family, and the other is because of the honor. I am willing to serve you as an auxiliary general first, and serving first is the key!"

"I originally asked you to take advantage of this expedition to gain some merit. If you don't even do anything and just obey Feng Xian's command, you will never lose so miserably in this battle. The biggest credit for the victory is yours. Yes, even if you lose, Fengxian will carry it for you. Do you think I gave Yunzhi and Lingshi to Fengxian just to make you the coach? Regardless of victory or defeat, you are the winner in this battle, but what about you? "Xie Yao looked at his son with hatred.

"It is almost impossible to lose money. You have brought this situation to today. All the roads paved for you have been ruined. I still have to remember Fengxian's favor." Xie Yao is really disappointed with this son. He is so good. He can make every situation collapse by him. He is narrow-minded and has no tolerance for others. Maybe... this child is really not suitable to inherit the Xie family's legacy.

Xie Yun frowned when he heard this and said, "Didn't dad already give him benefits? Besides, he can be considered a member of my Xie family."

"Those benefits are to pave the way for you. This favor is to thank others for saving your life." Xie Yao shook his head: "Thank you family, I really hope that Kui'er is my biological daughter. In this way, I will really thank my family for Fengxian. Don't treat people as fools. Everyone knows some things, but they should act like they don't know. Kui'er just gave Fengxian a status. After so long, do you really think that people can't tell it's fake? You just don't say it. .”

Xie Yun felt a little uncomfortable. What did it mean? All the resources were given to Lu Fengxian, but he didn't get any of the benefits. Instead, it made him famous, and he had to thank him?

Xie Yun is naturally grateful to Lu Fengxian. After all, at that last moment, if Lu Fengxian had not arrived in time, he might have died. But now that he is safe, he feels that this is Lu Fengxian's responsibility. He is originally a retainer of the Xie family and has no protection. It would be considered dereliction of duty to allow yourself to get meritorious service, so how can you have the nerve to ask for credit?

"Follow me to Fengxian's place later, and then pack your things and go back to Zhangzhou." Looking at Xie Yun's unhappy expression, Xie Yao sighed and didn't bother to talk anymore. Some things have to be understood by oneself.

"Dad, I know I was wrong!" Xie Yun finally panicked.

"Whether you know you are wrong or not, you know it in your heart." Xie Yao sighed: "Remember, whether it is a fifth-grade martial artist, a Confucianism cultivator, or a Taoist cultivator, they are different from other retainers. Such people have identities and family backgrounds that are useful to ordinary people. Everything is useless to them. You can only coax and win over this kind of people. This is different from sixth-grade warriors and Confucian scholars. It’s not that people can’t live without us, but that we have to rely on others to protect us. Now you have a reputation in Tiandu It already stinks. If you continue to stay here, it will only make people laugh. Go back to Zhangzhou, where the roots of the Xie family are. Think about it carefully after you go back. Your current words and deeds are not worthy of being the legitimate son of the Xie family. It’s also my fault, too. I'm so proud of you."

Xie Yun's face turned pale. He didn't hear clearly what Xie Yao said next. He only knew that he was going to be sent back to his hometown, which meant that he would leave this center of power. Does it also mean that he, the heir of the Xie family, would Is your identity about to be shaken?

He followed Xie Yao all the way to Lu Fengxian's house in a daze. He watched numbly as his father chatted and laughed with Lu Fengxian without mentioning the defeat. Only then did he allow himself to thank Lu Fengxian and salute him.

How could he endure it if he was born as a pariah?

Although Lu Fengxian stopped him in time, Xie Yun still felt a little aggrieved.

Late at night, Xie Kui fell asleep exhausted. Although this woman was the eye arranged by the Xie family, apart from this identity, there was really nothing else to say, no matter her appearance, temperament or her appearance after taking off her clothes. Hot and hot, they all fall perfectly into Lu Xuan's aesthetic point. I have to say that Lao Xie put a lot of effort into choosing this woman.

Counting the days, Yin Zheng and Chi En's family members should have arrived in Yunzhou soon. I wonder what choice the court will make when the next news is sent to Tiandu?

There were not many ways left for the court now, and no matter which way he took, it seemed to be a dead end. Li Xinian entered the court and began to take charge, and he also wanted to see what this great Confucian could do.

"Husband, Kui'er is sorry, husband~" Beside him, Xie Kui murmured in his sleep.

Lu Xuan looked back at her for a long time to make sure that she was really asleep. He smiled and shook his head. Beauty is a bad thing. Sometimes for women, being too good-looking is really a curse.

"It depends on what you choose in the end!" Lu Xuan flicked the pink pearls, stretched out his hand to cover her with the quilt, got up and got out of bed. It had been a long time since spring had come, and he just happened to go to see if his unlucky brother was going again.

Xie Yun's matter was quickly suppressed, not because the Xie family took action to suppress public opinion, but because a more explosive news came.

The two border generals guarding the border were also the main force in the expedition against the Guiyi Sect. The two veteran generals Yin Zheng and Chi En surrendered to the enemy! ?

Just like the news of Xie Yun's defeat that day, this news also spread throughout Tiandu overnight. The explosiveness of this news and the impact it had on the imperial court and even the entire Tiandu could be described as catastrophic. In comparison, the defeat of Xie Yun, the playboy Yun He, seemed insignificant. Even in front of the two veteran generals who surrendered to the enemy, Xie Yun's matter became somewhat reasonable...
