Horse on the World

Chapter 557 What You Are Loyal To Is Your Own Aspiration, Not The Marshal

"Old Shang, you are wrong again!" Lu Yiming shook his head.

"It seems accidental that you have come to this point, but it is inevitable!" Lu Yiming did not show any mercy to the other party, and said simply: "If there is anyone who understands you, it must be me. You are full of talent , with the skills of slaying dragons in your heart, wanting to dominate the world, and your name will go down in history, but in the ruling structure of the great Chu family, you have tried and failed. You are full of worry and anger, and your personality is becoming more and more extreme day by day. At this time, we met the commander-in-chief, met the master of the Ming Dynasty, your talents were fully displayed, you got a stage to display your ambitions, and you saw the expectation of fulfilling your long-cherished wishes. For the rise of Dingzhou, you have thought hard and done everything yourself, Old Shang, but you have grown up early in these years!"

Lu Yiming let out a long sigh, and Shang Haibo covered his face with his hands, tears streaming down his face.The white hair on the temples looked so dazzling at this moment.

"But Lao Shang, my old friend, with the commander stepping up, Dingzhou is rising day by day, and the Dingzhou army is famous all over the world, but you are also showing your sharpness, and you don't know how to restrain yourself. Let's take the conflict between you and Qingfeng as an example. Well, I also agreed to oppose Qingfeng marrying the commander-in-chief, but after that, you did not give up your hostility to Qingfeng. You said you were worried about the future, but I know it is not. You are under one person in Dingzhou, and ten thousand people Above, but there is Qingfeng who can compete with you in the same court, and the power is not inferior to you. People outside say, you, Qingfeng, I am the troika of Dingzhou, but you know, I will not compete with you, so you All you need to do is defeat Qingfeng, and you can truly become the No. 1 under the commander in chief."

Shang Haibo raised his head, wanting to argue, but he opened his mouth and finally said nothing.

"Under your pressure, the commander-in-chief began to reduce Qingfeng's power, and made the General Intelligence Investigation Department independent. Once you succeed, you will accept it if you don't see it. Instead, you will attack Qingfeng even more fiercely. Old Shang, be the commander-in-chief. When the logistics division is separated from the military commander's mansion, you should be vigilant. The commander already has a problem with you repeatedly meddling in his personal affairs."

"My lord, why do family matters, family matters are state affairs!" Shang Haibo said.

"The commander-in-chief is different from others, didn't you notice it? He particularly dislikes people interfering in his private affairs." Lu Yiming shook his head.

"Qingcheng married Dingzhou. This is a political marriage. The commander-in-chief couldn't talk about feelings for Princess Qingcheng, but when Qingcheng arrived in Dingzhou, you couldn't wait to express your support for Qingcheng in order to curb Qingfeng. The general's disgust, but you didn't realize it. Old Shang, you have always been shrewd. Didn't you see that the general is still young and young, and there will definitely be more women in the future? Zixi, why are you talking about successors now, why are you talking about Qingfeng's political affairs, but you are already thinking about the successor for the commander in chief, what do you think the commander in chief will think about this matter!"

"No matter who the future successor of the commander-in-chief is, as long as Qingfeng holds the Statistics and Investigation Department in his hands, no one will be able to sit in the future seat safely. Isn't it right to wait until the rainy day? In the future, if Qingfeng Tail cannot be lost, then it will be a real disaster."

Lu Yiming smiled wryly, "Old Shang, you are still arguing, you have fallen into your own trap, unknowingly, you regard Qingfeng as your worst enemy, you want to defeat him wholeheartedly, but why don't you just go all out?" Think, Qingfeng is the commander-in-chief's woman, and the commander-in-chief does not want her to collapse. The harder you work in this direction, the more the commander-in-chief will think that you are challenging his majesty. In other words, how Qingfeng interferes in politics, her power comes from the commander-in-chief Shuai, to put it bluntly, in the future, if Anmin really takes over, I am afraid that when the commander-in-chief is about to leave, Qingfeng must go with him with a hand order! If you look at the history books, there are many such things!"

Shang Haibo's eyes were bloodshot, "It's because you saw this that you stayed out of the matter and didn't interfere in Qingfeng's dictatorship?"

Lu Yiming said: "Of course, as you can see, whenever Qingfeng stretched his hand into the army, the commander immediately cut it off without hesitation. At the beginning, Qingfeng wanted to marry Jiyue to Guo Shanfeng. Confidential, but you and I both know, the commander immediately took Jiyue by himself, and the vice-admiral of the Fuzhou navy that Qingfeng wooed at the time was called Yin Ning, look, I can’t even remember his name, that guy is now There, guarding the port on Shiwei's side, Zheng Zhiyuan was only a small lieutenant back then, but now he has been promoted to lieutenant general, Qingfeng took Deng Peng's son as his godson, and the commander immediately took Deng Peng's family into the fixed position Zhou. Lu Dalin owed Qingfeng's favor, and as soon as he revealed it, Lu Dabing went to the Red Division, and now he is bringing the Red Division cavalry! Old Shang, old Shang, why can't you see it!" Lu Yiming was heartbroken. "Without military power, Qingfeng Power is just a giant building on the sand. If there is any slight disturbance, it will collapse!"

"You are aggressive, and the commander-in-chief didn't express anything clearly, but it doesn't mean that he didn't have any ideas in secret. Qingfeng is much smarter than you. When you step forward, she backs down step by step. She seems to be at a disadvantage, but I have won sympathy points from the commander in chief! What the commander in chief wants is balance, not the dominance of one family!" Lu Yiming's voice gradually became louder.

"When the Shenzhou incident happened, the general was furious. After he got away, he didn't send back the news in time. On the contrary, the news that the general was dead continued to come in. The withdrawal of Baimadu and Zenglu's troops confirmed this news. You panicked , You are at a loss, you feel that your life's career is about to be knocked out of the dust when it is about to climb to the top, you have lost your usual calmness, and you have not carefully analyzed the truth or falsehood of the matter, so you have made a judgment rashly. "

"Did you already know that the commander-in-chief is not dead?" Shang Haibo's voice was hoarse.

Lu Yiming shook his head, "I don't know. When I heard the news, I was also very panicked, but when I calmed down, I found all sorts of suspicious things. Marshal Baimadu can't see people when he is alive, and he can't see dead bodies when he is dead. Zeng Lu There are many other reasons for the withdrawal of the troops. The two companies themselves are cooperating due to formalities. There are ghosts between the two families. Baimadu is solid. Loss, the news of the commander-in-chief's death gave the two families a chance to be relieved, they are more willing to believe that this is true, as for Naveu, he is a lunatic, how can he get over it with common sense!"

"On the White Horse Ferry, Chen Zeyue, Tang Hu, and Iron Leopard are all there, but where are Li Wen and Li Wu?"

"Deng Peng is very talented. Why did he suddenly attack Anshun Port as if he lost his mind during one period of time? When he saw that it was about to fall, he suddenly retreated?"

"Wang Guo strongly opposed the withdrawal of troops at first, why did he suddenly agree to withdraw after a period of time?"

Lu Yiming's series of questioning made Shang Haibo speechless.

"You can't see the clues of these things. Why, because you have completely lost yourself at this time. When Qingcheng threw an olive branch, you saw the hope of continuing your ambition, because in the past few years, You also admire Tianqi's great talent and strategy. When you think that the commander-in-chief is dead, you think that Dingzhou has no chance, so you give up and use Dingzhou's loss of the qualification to fight for the hegemony of the world as a vote to continue your slaughter. The dream of pursuing the world. And this is exactly what the commander-in-chief is most angry about, because the Qingcheng you are relying on is the one who started this incident."

Shang Haibo was covered in cold sweat, and Lu Yiming's analysis pointed directly to his heart, expressing the most true thoughts in his heart. Yes, Li Qing is a wise master, but to him, that is, He is just a master who can give him a stage to show himself. When this stage collapsed, he naturally went to find the next stage, but he has been unwilling to admit it.Perhaps Li Qing had seen this early on, so after he escaped, he did not report to Dingzhou immediately. Even after several generals had received the news, Dingzhou himself was still kept in the dark. He wanted to use this incident to test his loyalty to him, to Dingzhou, and to the Li family, but sadly, he really failed to stand the test this time.

Presumably, after the commander-in-chief escaped, he had a perfect plan. In other words, when the commander-in-chief escaped from the Shenzhou battlefield, it had completely failed.

Getting up and down from the kang, Shang Haibo bowed deeply to Lu Yiming, "Thank you, old friend, with your analysis of me today, I am convinced to death, yes, my most loyal is My long-standing ambition is not the commander. To the commander, I really deserve to die. Old Lu, you came here today, and I already understand what the commander means. It means that I want to go to another world quietly by myself. Thank you Marshal for me, let me retain a dignity before I die, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely serve Marshal wholeheartedly."

Lu Yiming sneered and stood up: "Dead? You misread the handsome man again!"

Shang Haibo glanced at the other party in surprise.

"At first, I also thought that the commander-in-chief would definitely kill you this time, so I pleaded with the commander-in-chief for you, but I didn't expect that the commander-in-chief never thought of killing you at all!" Lu Yiming turned his head to look at the commander-in-chief Looking in the direction of the mansion, the scene of that day seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

Li Qing leaned back on the big chair, closed his eyes and said: "When it comes to crimes, there is a way to deserve death, and when it comes to emotions, there is something to forgive. Shang Haibo's choice this time has made me very disappointed. Master Lu, I think back when we were in Chong County At that time, how difficult it was at that time, and I survived it. Unexpectedly, now, just one accident caused me to lose several comrades in arms who shared weal and woe! Shang Haibo helped me shape a stable political structure in Dingzhou and formulated the The policy of making the country rich and the people ahead of all the powers in Da Chu, Dingzhou can have what it is today. He, let him read, write, and cultivate his mind and character there!"
