Chapter 0142: So annoying
Xiao Rong returned to his room.
It is not the Great Cold yet, so the weather is still as cold as usual. The first thing Xiao Rong did when he entered the house was to take off his coat. He quickly walked to the table and poured himself a cup of hot tea. Xiao Rong gulped down two gulps and felt his whole body getting warm.
Feeling comfortable, Xiao Rong sat down. Glancing back, he couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.
"...Why don't you leave?"
Qu Yunmie blinked, pretending that he hadn't heard his disdainful tone. He sat opposite Xiao Rong and said to him sincerely, "You are in a bad mood today. I am afraid that if I leave, you will cry again."
Xiao Rong: “…………”
He was so angry that he said, "I won't cry!"
Qu Yunmie nodded perfunctorily, meaning, if you say you can't do it, then you can't do it.
Xiao Rong gritted his teeth, but found that he couldn't do anything to him. After a stalemate, he took a step back and talked about another matter: "You mentioned Yu Shaocheng before. Now that the New Year is coming to an end and Shengle has settled down, why not call him back? You urgently called back Jian Qiao and others before, wasn't it for the purpose of integrating forces and attacking with the whole army?"
Qu Yunmie hummed, "That was true at the time. You said the new governor needed help, so I let him stay. But now you asked me to call him back. I'm afraid you didn't want to send out the whole army, but to ask him to come back for the New Year, right?"
Xiao Rong was very calm when he realized what he said. "He has been traveling for so long. It would be bad if he couldn't even go home on New Year's Eve."
Qu Yunmie looked at him but still didn't give in: "It's normal for me not to go home for several years because of military orders."
Xiao Rong was somewhat puzzled: "Is Shengle really inseparable from Yu Shaocheng?"
Qu Yunmie: "I can leave."
Xiao Rong: “…”
What the hell are you talking about?
Perhaps Xiao Rong's expression was too obvious, Qu Yunmie said seriously: "I don't want him to slack off. Among all the generals, he is the youngest one. Young people are not stable enough. Once they return to their warm hometown from the bitter cold, it will be difficult to get him to pick up his spirit again. After this New Year, I plan to reorganize the army and rearrange the four armies and the central army. At that time, I will lead the army across the Huai River and aim at Nanjing, and Yu Shaocheng should lead the left army under my arrangement to capture Huang Yanjiong and the remnants of the Qingfeng Sect."
Xiao Rong was stunned: "You want to officially hand over the left army to Yu Shaocheng? You want him to be the left general?"
Qu Yunmie nodded.
Xiao Rong's eyes widened slightly, and he cried out in his heart, "Oh my god!"
Yu Shaocheng is now really in the limelight, leading the left army alone! After the attack on Xianbei, the number of Zhenbei Army dropped by tens of thousands, and Yuan Baifu's betrayal attracted many people to become rebels. Even if they return to the Zhenbei Army, they will become the lowest level, doing all the dirty and tiring work, and it will not be their turn to go to the battlefield in the future.
Therefore, Gongsun Yuan had been recruiting new soldiers according to Qu Yunmie's orders. Among the refugees who poured in, those who were willing to work all signed up for work, while those who were unwilling to work and only thought about stealing or eating for free were forcibly taken away by Gongsun Yuan to serve as strong men.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. In short, with various efforts, the number of Zhenbei Army soldiers increased dramatically. It is estimated that the number of people who can be assigned to Yu Shaocheng is more than that of Yuan Baifu in the past.
Thinking of this, Xiao Rong couldn't help but get excited for Yu Shaocheng, but after he was done being excited, he patted Qu Yunmie's arm and said, "Your Majesty has a keen eye for heroes, which is of course good, but Your Majesty should also look at Yu Shaocheng's character. Believe me, with his...superb intelligence, no matter when you ask him to go to the battlefield, he can always perform at his best. But if everyone else comes back and he is the only one who is exiled, and he can't see his brother for half a year or even a whole year, it will easily make him rebellious."
For example, if someone thinks that you deliberately separated him and his brother, then from then on you will no longer be his benefactor in his heart, but a bitch in his heart.
Qu Yunmie: “…” Not really?
There are so many brothers and sisters in this world who haven't seen each other for more than ten years. It's not as serious as Xiao Rong said.
But he didn't dare to say too much. After all, even he couldn't understand Yu Shaocheng's mental state.
After a moment of silence, Qu Yunmie said he needed to think about it, and Xiao Rong asked him to think about it quickly, after all, there was only more than half a month left before the Chinese New Year. …………
After Qu Yunmie left, Xiao Rong finished his cup of tea, but he did not immediately wash up and prepare for bed. He continued to sit here, thinking about something.
If Qu Yunmie doesn't kill the little emperor, He Tingzhi will never have a chance to succeed. He is completely different from Huang Yanjiong. He Tingzhi is incapable of doing anything like a traitor.
So if Xiao Rong was Han Qing, and if he still wanted to surrender to He Tingzhi, he would have to find a way to kill the little emperor first. But then there was a problem again, the person who did it was not Qu Yunmie. The little emperor was dead, and He Tingzhi could take advantage of the situation to rise up. So could Qu Yunmie. Isn't it just a matter of raising a big banner to avenge the little emperor? Qu Yunmie also had a fiefdom personally granted by the little emperor. His starting point was almost the same as He Tingzhi's.
Therefore, He Tingzhi is nothing to be feared. In this power game, as long as Qu Yunmie is in his right mind, he will be completely kicked out.
Nankang, Linchuan, Liyang, Dongyang, Xin'an...Xin'an...
Xiao Rong counted these place names one by one in his mind. Now the external conditions of the Zhenbei Army were as strong as a solid wall of steel. They had people, food, money, and solid backing. At this point, it would be unjust for Qu Yunmie not to become emperor. However, the system never allowed him to untie Qu Yunmie, which meant that those enemies lurking outside might still destroy everything they currently had.
If there is no weakness outside, then the weakness can only come from within.
There are only a few people who can make Qu Yunmie lose his mind. Unless there is a major accident, Gao Xunzhi will not lead his troops to leave Chenliu. Agusega and others will not step out of the main city. There is no reason for them to be deceived.
The tombs of General Qu, General Qu, and Chief Ishtar are still under repair. They are all built according to the highest level of imperial mausoleums. Including the managers, soldiers and workers, there are nearly 10,000 people. Last time such a big thing happened, the governor of Yanmen County was killed by Gao Xun because he failed to supervise. Not to mention the newly appointed governor, even the ordinary people of Yanmen County are now on high alert in the city, and they will report to the government if they see any disturbance.
Well, after counting, everyone is safe and there is nothing that can be exploited, so Qu Yunmie’s only weakness now is... himself.
Xiao Rong: “…………”
Now he was really nervous, wondering if someone else wanted to arrest him!
He seriously considered the idea of taking the initiative to follow Qu Yunmie and arranging someone to be on duty beside him. After thinking for a while, he shook his head. Never mind. That would be too much of a fuss. Once the reward was announced, the entire Chenliu was under martial law, and the palace was under three layers of defense. Even if he arranged more people, it would probably not have much effect.
What's more, sometimes the murderer does not use a real knife or gun, but an invisible knife.
With his eyes downcast, Xiao Rong's fingers twirled the rim of the cup. After hesitating for a moment, he called out, "A Shu."
Ah Shu pushed the door open and came in: "Master, do you want to have a midnight snack again?"
Xiao Rong: "...No, go to General Jian's residence and call Zhang Biezhi to me."
