Chapter 154 Questions that shouldn't be asked
General Yang Fanhai of the Conquest Army set out again, this time his goal was Yanzhou, which fell into the hands of the Guifang tribe nearly a year ago.
When the news came out, all the subjects of Xiong Kingdom were shocked, not because they doubted Yang Fanhai's ability. The Battle of Qingzhou and the Battle of Chentang Pass have fully demonstrated the ability of this surrendered general of Ji Kingdom. What shocked them was Gongsun Shaodian's attitude towards Yang Fanhai.
It is hard to imagine that the surrendered general will take on the great responsibility again and again. With Gongsun Shaodian's style, such a person will inevitably be reused once he has achieved his achievements.
What makes people confused is that now everyone in Zhengcheng knows that this General Zhengyuan is extremely disagreement with the crown prince Gongsun Weiqing, who has been appointed, and has a good relationship with the second prince Gongsun Xuanyuan, even though the General Zhengyuan surrendered at Gongsun Xuanyuan that day.
Over the years, Gongsun Shaodian has suppressed Gongsun Xuanyuan and supported Gongsun Weiqing. Now, he has such an old grudge against Gongsun Weiqing. What is the purpose of Yang Fanhai, who has a good relationship with Gongsun Xuanyuan?
Could it be that King Shaodian's intentions have changed... For a moment, all the officials and workers in the court had this idea. After all, in their opinion, Gongsun Xuanyuan was indeed far more capable of serving as the successor than Gongsun Weiqing.
However, the news that Gongsun Weiqing was sent to the Wu Clan Front Pacification Army also came at the same time, which made people confused again. At this time, at this critical moment, what King Shaodian was thinking, probably no one except him knew.
But no matter what these people think, Yang Fanhai finally went to war.
Be on the stage.
Gongsun Shaodian personally brought the helmet of Mingguang Armor to Yang Fanhai, which attracted the envy of countless soldiers.
As the king of Youxiong Kingdom, Gongsun Shaodian rarely comes to such occasions in person. In the past, he was sent by ministers to the expedition, even if the leader was Gongsun Xuanyuan. It is already jealous that Yang Fanhai was able to win this honor.
Looking at Gongsun Shaodian in front of him, Yang Fanhai frowned slightly, and finally couldn't help asking: "King, why do you want to come here in person?"
This is indeed a great honor, but unfortunately, he always feels that there must be some scheming behind this and feels uncomfortable.
Gongsun Shaodian shook his head and said softly: "Don't think too much, I just want to express my attitude. In the past, the battles happened within our human race. Even if the wars were fought well, it would be like that."
"I don't want to participate in such a ritual, because civil war is never a commendable thing. Even as a winner, I should be clear that I only defeated my own tribe members, and I also killed my own compatriots."
"But you are different today. The target you are going to fight is the Guifang tribe, which is to regain the land that should belong to our human race but was occupied by foreign races. I want to let all the subjects of my country of Bear know that my Gongsun Shaodian values heroes who fight against foreign races more than famous generals in civil war."
"King..." Yang Fanhai was silent. He suddenly realized that he could not see through the person in front of him.
Gongsun Shaodian patted Yang Fanhai on the shoulder: "You remember clearly. Take Yanzhou and come back. I promise that if I have one day, the Duke of Ji will be at peace in the future. But if you lose, it will be hard to say."
Ordinary words seem to be threatening, and seem to be just a joke, making people unable to see them clearly.
Looking at Gongsun Shaodian's face without anger, Yang Fanhai suddenly asked in a strange way: "Why do you think the Second Prince is not suitable to be a king?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately regretted it. He didn't know why he suddenly thought of asking this sentence, but this was not only a family matter of the Gongsun family, but also a dispute between the crown prince. The relationship between it was so huge that it was impossible to ask casually.
It was too late for others to hide, but they would do such stupid things.
Surprisingly, Gongsun Shaodian was not disliked, but smiled a little: "After so many years, there are many people who think about this question, but you are the first one who dares to stand in front of me and ask me."
"Are you a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger, or are you thinking about the future of this country because you have truly regarded the Bear Kingdom as your own country?"
"I..." Yang Fanhai opened his mouth and finally closed his mouth, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
Gongsun Shaodian patted his shoulder: "No matter what, it's always good. Come on, there are some things you can't control! Go and get Yanzhou back!"
"I obey the order! I hope the king will remember the peace of Ji Duke's Mansion that I promised me."
Yang Fanhai stopped talking, and after bowing, he walked down from the stage step by step. For some reason, when Gongsun Shaodian said, "Some things are not something you can control", he clearly saw a trace of helplessness and loneliness in the other party's eyes, but it was fleeting, making him wonder if it was just an illusion.
In the eyes of everyone, he turned over and led a 50,000 army to the north.
This expedition was different from the past. Because it was a fight against the Guifang tribe and with Gongsun Shaodian's guarantee, Yang Fanhai brought everyone out, not only the old generals of Ji, but also the generals of the Chang and Tang countries such as Xue Chengtong and Zhang Qi.
Fifty thousand people were organized under the command of twelve people. At the same time, they also copied the Qiankun Yuanhua Gong given by Master Feng and passed it on.
Master Feng means that it is enough to select ten thousand people, but Yang Fanhai thinks that since it is a good thing, the more it is, the better.
Xu Fan was not idle either. The military advisor in everyone's hearts followed the army to fight. It was not only for the sake of making suggestions, but also for the formation of the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
The formation that Master Feng improved was a battle formation. Since it was a battle formation, it was naturally not just a matter of twelve or three people. Xu Fan, who was good at formation, expanded the entire formation and formed a formation with twelve teams.
After 50,000 people and horses were divided, each team had more than 4,000 people. Once they could master the formation, the effect would be even more extraordinary when they arrived on the battlefield.
Although a group of people fought side by side in Ji State, they had to cooperate because of the situation. Now they have become members of Youxiong State and real comrades-in-arms, which makes Yang Fanhai feel a little different.
Unlike those who were only brave enough to charge forward, Yang Fanhai has now begun to think about how to make these people more united, become stronger, and have more tacit understanding and trust between each other.
Everyone has their own concerns. Wu Jin and Deng Yuanwu used to care about the glory and importance of the family. After the family chose their brothers, they felt like they were abandoned and left resolutely.
Lin Zhenpei likes to say the most, "If you can't do well, you won't go back." In fact, it is more appropriate to use it on these two people. When the Xiong Kingdom captured Ji Kingdom, even though there were cultivators behind it, after knowing that Yanzhou would be given to the Guifang tribe, many aristocratic families made wise choices to be sneaked into the Youxiong Kingdom together.
Once the so-called aristocratic family leaves their hometown, their influence will naturally be greatly reduced. Because of the Battle of Qingzhou and the Battle of Chentang Pass, the reputation of Wu Jin and Deng Yuanwu has spread. At this time, they are different from the past and must be attached to their own aristocratic family before they will be valued. To some extent, the influence of the two has exceeded that of their respective aristocratic families.
The two families have come to them privately, hoping that they can go back, but they are rejected. For them, what they care more about now is how to make their tribe members regret their choice back then.
After Xue Chengtong stepped down as General Changguo, he seemed to care more about his own strength. When he was about the same strength as Yang Fanhai in the past, there was no situation. But now that Yang Fanhai's strength is much higher than him, he often comes to Yang Fanhai for some unknown questions in his practice.
Although Yang Fanhai is not a strong senior, Master Feng’s teaching methods are very effective. Many of them are straightforward and simple, but they contain the great truth that you can understand it with just one thing.
Xue Chengtong is extremely talented, but she has never been given guidance from famous masters. After listening to some of Yang Fanhai’s experiences from Master Zifeng, he quickly realized his own things, and his strength has increased very quickly.
For him, no matter what hardships or difficulties it is, there is no problem as long as he can improve his strength. Therefore, among the twelve people who traveled with him, only Zhang Zhi was able to compare with him, while others were all a little worse.
What Xu Fan cares about seems to be the formation, or some mysterious thing.
Master Feng’s improved formation of heavenly stems and earthly branches was simply a hit in his heart, making him fall into it and unable to stop. He was studying how to set up and how to change the formation all day long.
I'm afraid that if Yang Fanhai had not been in a hurry to rush to go, this guy would have asked the army to stop and practice the formation with him.
...
The army was moving day by day. Although there was a lot of communication with the people around him, Yang Fanhai spent more time thinking about how to make his team stronger.
When thinking about the things and purposes that others care about, Yang Fanhai often can't help but wonder: What is the purpose of doing this? Is it really right to leave my parents' affairs alone for the time being?
I kept thinking along the way and got closer and closer to the northeast.
The first stop of this trip was Chentang Pass, not just to get out of here, but also to the army left behind there.
When wars start from all directions, the Xiong Kingdom is under great pressure and lacks soldiers. Gongsun Shaodian promised Yang Fanhai's 200,000 troops to take away 150,000 troops, otherwise it would be difficult to find a suitable troops in the country.
Walking northeast, he was getting farther and farther away from his destination, but when Chentang Pass appeared within sight, Yang Fanhai became inexplicably excited.
Why don’t men take Wu Gou and collect the fifty states of Guanshan?
As a man, leading his tribe members to take back the land that was once occupied by foreign races is probably the most exciting thing.
