Chapter 1035: Serving the King Is Like Serving a Tiger

Today I am asking about the battle to defend Tianlang City. If I want to explain it more clearly, I have to start with the previous events, because that is the background.

But, how long ago should we start from? Do you want to mention Zhang Tianwen’s thoughts in a subtle way? Do you want to exaggerate and spread your own difficulties?

Questions like these must have been considered in the minds of many people who are right. Their choices cannot be absolute, but nine out of ten will definitely exaggerate the difficulties they encounter.

Firstly, he can highlight his abilities so that he can be promoted to a higher position in the future. Secondly, since the emperor has been in the palace for a long time, how much local affairs can he know, it is easy to deceive.

It was just that after Wu Yi went through it in his mind, he decisively chose to tell the truth. Of course, telling the truth did not mean telling everything, and he must not give the officials the impression that he and Zhang Tianwen were not in harmony.

"Wei Chen was originally a small garrison commander guarding Langyankou. He was promoted by the Marshal among the thousands of troops and was assigned to be in danger. On the day when he led the troops, he had trouble sleeping all day and night, restless sleep, and tasteless food."

When Wu Yi said the words about accepting responsibility in times of crisis, Gu Qingyue frowned slightly but said nothing.

However, the official interrupted: "I know here that at that time, all the tribes of the Northern Barbarians sent out troops to intimidate the border. The Northern Army had no soldiers left, so they had to recruit the bandits. You were indeed entrusted with the task of crisis. If it weren't for you, To contain the enemy's forces, I'm afraid Tianlang City will no longer be the territory of Daji!"

"General Chen is truly the pillar of the country!" Even the queen on the side also participated.

Wu Yi stood up in a hurry, saying that he did not dare. After being appeased by the officials, he continued: "Although the bandit soldiers are undisciplined, they are brave and fierce, and can fight in any battle. However, the enemy has many soldiers and generals, and the weak ministers are outnumbered. There is only so much commotion, so that the enemy does not dare to attack with a large force!"

"How come I heard that in the early stage, you used thousands of troops to defeat tens of thousands of Rinan tribe's troops? It shocked the Northland!" the official asked with a smile.

"This is His Majesty's blessing, otherwise I will die!" There is nothing wrong with pushing the merits to the top.

The officials were tired of hearing such flattery and didn't catch a cold at all. They laughed and said, "Haha, the early harassment strategy is obviously feasible, why do you want to capture Tianlang City later? It's just a dead city!"

The implication is, isn't this sending soldiers to die? If someone is not brave enough and is asked this question by the emperor, he may be so frightened that he will kowtow and beg for mercy.

Wu Yi said calmly: "Your Majesty's words are wrong!"

No one expected that Wu Yi would dare to respond like this. Gu Qingyue was so frightened that he kicked Wu Yi several times under the table and accused him of talking nonsense. The queen also looked displeased. This general had made meritorious deeds at a young age and was a little frivolous. He still had to be beaten hard. It's hard work.

Only the official kept smiling and said, "Tell me, where am I missing?"

"There are still thousands of people in Tianlang City, how can we say that the city is dead! They were invaded by the Northern Captives and they are all slaves. If we stay a few days later, there is no chance that they will be sold to the North!"

The official frowned and said, "You are right!"

Wu Yi looked happy, but the official continued: "For a general, it seems a bit merciful! Are you really doing it for the people in the city?"

Not long after he ascended to heaven, he fell heavily into hell. It was like a world of ice and fire.

Wu Yi didn't know how to answer for a while and hesitated. Naturally, he was not doing it for the people. He was just saying it afterwards to deceive the officials who claimed to be Qingliu. Wu Yi's real purpose at that time was for food and grass.

But Wu Yi didn't know if the official would be able to accept such words.

However, Wu Yi didn't expect that he didn't say it, but the official said it for him, "The second time you attacked Tianlang City, it was for food and grass! If it was really for the people, the first time you attacked the city After that, I won’t leave hastily after looting.”

At this time, Wu Yi really didn't know what the purpose of the official in front of him was. His thoughts were deeper than the sea. No matter how he figured it out, he could only kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

"No wonder you. After all, you are leading a group of bandit soldiers. They are a pack of wolves. If you don't feed them, how can you let them fight?"

There is a problem if there is a problem, and admitting your mistakes is the right thing to do. Wu Yi continued: "It is the humble ministers who are guilty, whose teachings are incompetent, and whose leadership is incompetent, which makes the bandits cause chaos!"

"Zhang Tianwen, too. Since you decided to use bandits, why didn't you even send food? You must have put a lot of effort into preventing them from treason!" The implication was that he also had the intention of treason.

Wu Yi felt a thump in his heart, as if he had fallen to the bottom of a lake. Did the official say too much? At this moment, he was neither a person nor a person if he agreed. He was not a human being either inside or outside.

"You are a talented person. The world is big and you can gallop everywhere. In order to restrain this fierce horse of yours, whatever you want, just say it!"

The same problem, but Wu Yi could no longer be as indifferent as before. He kowtowed heavily on the ground and said, "I don't dare!"

Compared with the real dragon emperor, he was still too young. Who would dare to say that the emperor had been in the palace for a long time and knew nothing about it. Wu Yi would definitely spray all the spit on his face.

If you don't know anything about this, there will be no wise people in this world.

During the second half of the dinner, Wu Yi was really tasteless and had no interest. He just wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. He finally realized that Zhang Tianwen was too weak compared to him.

One moment you are greeted with a smile, and the next moment, you can experience absolute fear.

Until the end, the emperor did not say what reward he would give Wu Yi, as if he had forgotten about it. When he left the palace, Gu Qingyue kept complaining to Wu Yi, saying that the emperor was wrong and he was looking for trouble.

The emperor is a creature with a strong sense of self-esteem. What is right is right, what is wrong is right, no matter what, it is right. Without certain qualifications, he still teaches others. They just say a few words to deal with you, and they don’t know the weight at all.

At this moment, Wu Yi could only bear it silently. After all, the facts were in front of him. This time, he really met an opponent. A little cleverness, in the eyes of the other party, is harmless. With a flick of a finger, he can destroy you.

When he was about to leave the palace, a eunuch shouted General Chen from the back and chased him. It turned out that it was the official’s oral order that there would be a military parade in three days, and Wu Yi needed to attend.

Wu Yi could only obey this request, or order. As for the past few days, he still lived in the post station, staying at home, not causing any trouble, and the prosperity of the capital had nothing to do with Wu Yi.

After all, it was a political need, and Wu Yi believed that the government would not really give him nothing and just send him back like that. However, Wu Yi had no idea how he would be employed. He had some thoughts about it before, but now he was completely leaving it to fate.
