Chapter 11 Reliance
An emperor has no friends, he only has tools and subordinates.
Fang Bie said this without any inhibitions in front of Emperor Tianlu, but he didn't expect Emperor Tianlu to laugh: "After all, we call ourselves widowers."
"The so-called widower means a lonely person."
"In my early years, before I ascended the throne, I did have many friends who were worthy of being called the Golden Orchid. But after many years, these old friends either drifted away with the wind, or everything changed."
"After all, after becoming the emperor, no one is qualified to be his brother."
Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bie and said slowly: "But I already understand what you mean."
"In short, you have always regarded me as your enemy, right?"
Fang Bie shook his head: "What I regard as the enemy is the darkness behind the hive, the darkness that swallowed up Sister Ping and left her unable to struggle."
"That's all."
"But now I give you a new choice. You can become the darkness itself and contain He Ping in your body." Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bie and said.
"I'm not interested in this." Fang Bie shook his head and said.
"Joining if you can't beat her is indeed a good way, but it's not the only way, and in fact." Fang Bie smiled: "Even if I really become this darkness that can tolerate Sister Ping, it will only be the original one." The puppet role has just changed from Sister Ping to me."
"In contrast, I want real freedom more."
"No matter what time, freedom is a very precious thing." Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bie: "In this case, you shouldn't come to see me."
"For a dangerous character as powerful and with potential as you, you know exactly what the price will be for rejecting my offer."
"Of course, I know that your martial arts are superb, but this is the underground of the imperial city. Even a bird with wings cannot escape from this underground cage."
"Of course I know it, but since His Majesty is so interested in coming to see me, I can't refuse such a big temptation."
"But, similarly, since I dare to come here, I am confident that Your Majesty will not kill me." Fang Bie said confidently.
Don't dare to enter the imperial city rashly, and also enter the tunnel under the imperial city. You must know that the power that Emperor Tianlu can call here is really powerful and terrifying.
Fang Bie was such a person who was afraid of death. Since he had never thought of accepting Emperor Tianlu's invitation to become his queen bee, he didn't even have the intention to get out of danger first.
So it can only be said that the young man does have something to rely on.
"Tell me about it." Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bie: "In this world, I don't like people to bargain with me."
"But I have to admit that you are a very interesting person, otherwise I would not personally make suggestions for recruitment to you."
"If you can convince me not to kill you and let you out, it will only prove that you really do not deserve to die here."
"But, you have to know that there are too few chips in this world that can impress me."
"Even I don't know what would make me give up the tempting option of killing you."
Probably even Emperor Tianlu himself was a little curious about what Fang Bu could do to impress him and make him change his mind.
"It's very simple." Fang Bie looked at Emperor Tianlu and said calmly: "That is, the 200,000 Japanese troops attacking Goryeo were personally initiated and proposed by me in Japan."
Emperor Tianlu couldn't help but laugh, and his laughter became louder and louder: "In this case, shouldn't I kill you, a traitor to the country and seeking glory?"
"Or if you want to give it a try, can you assassinate me right here?"
"I have indeed had such thoughts, but out of respect for Your Majesty, I will not overestimate my capabilities here." Fang Bie shook his head and said, "And Your Majesty, you said one thing wrong, that is I have never betrayed my country to seek glory. After all, I did not get any glory or wealth from it. On the contrary, I spent a lot of effort to lead the Japanese army to the mainland."
"So you spent a lot of effort to borrow 200,000 tiger and wolf troops to attack my tributary country of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but instead you boast about your own achievements?" Emperor Tianlu was really a little angry. .
After all, such a thing is too ridiculous and funny.
"Yes." Fang Bie looked at Emperor Tianlu: "Do you want to continue to listen to what I am going to say next, or do you want to kill me here now?"
"Although I am sure that Your Majesty will regret it, Your Majesty's decision will never be in doubt."
"Is it such a clumsy way to provoke generals?" Emperor Tianlu sighed.
He stood up from his seat and walked towards Fang Bie step by step.
His Majesty, who has been in office for more than thirty years, is a little thin, and even has a vague feeling of being frail. After all, he has been addicted to monasticism and meditation all year round, eating wind and drinking dew, and has very strict control over his diet. Now that he is getting older, He is not very addicted to female sex, and he feels like he is a huge crane walking towards Fang Bie.
And the crane came step by step to Fang Bie and looked at the sword on Fang Bie's waist.
"I heard that you once cut off Qin's arm with one sword, so do you want to do the same to me?"
"I don't dare." Fang Bie said looking at Emperor Tianlu in front of him.
He was already too close to me, and even planned to lure him into drawing his sword.
But Fang Bie knew clearly that he would be defeated if he used his sword.
Because his sword is a sure-kill sword aimed at the opponent's weaknesses and flaws. The reason why it is a sure-kill is that he would never have used this sword before he was not sure.
But now, in Fang Bie's view, this man who was strolling around and extremely confident that he was within ten steps of him had no flaws in his every move.
It’s almost to the point where it’s natural and natural.
The reason why Fang Bie came to see His Majesty in person, even if he had to take great risks, was to confirm with his own eyes the true strength of this man whose martial arts were unfathomable but extremely doubtful.
At this time, the answer that Fang Bi could get was three simple words.
That means you can't see through it.
"Say it." Emperor Tianlu stood opposite Fang Bie. This old man with white beard and hair was thin and lanky, with a slightly stern expression. It seemed that as long as what Fang Bie said next was not to his liking, he would personally kill Fang Bie. life taken.
"The fundamental reason why I borrowed 200,000 troops from Japan to invade Goryeo is because Japan also has this need." Fang Bie looked at Emperor Tianlu without any panic.
Because he knew that he would almost certainly die if he fought here.
Not to mention that Emperor Tianlu's own strength is already at an unfathomable level, and because this is completely the opponent's home court, even if Emperor Tianlu doesn't do it himself, the palace secret guards can still fight in this deep place like a cat and a mouse. Launch a pervasive attack on yourself in the complicated underground corridors.
Therefore, whether he can survive or not, now he can only rely on Fang Bing's sharp tongue.
"What is the need?" Emperor Tianlu asked.
"Japan is not like China. It has a vast land and abundant resources, covering thousands of miles." Fang Bie looked at Emperor Tianlu and said calmly.
"Actually, to put it bluntly, Japan is a small island country. If this island country wants to continue to develop, it must get involved in the land outside its own island, and they must be dreaming of the land on this continent."
"After all, we are on an island. We can advance, attack, retreat or defend. With the sea as a barrier, even the massive Oara army was inevitably overwhelmed by the divine wind and ultimately had no chance to attack the islands outside this continent."
"But Japan has a problem, and that is that for the past hundred years, it has been in a state of fragmentation and fragmentation."
"As for the general trend of the world, if it stays together for a long time, it will break up, and if it stays divided for a long time, it will unite."
"The unification of Japan is far away on the horizon. Although it is far away, it will eventually come."
"I said before that the major names in Japan have a large number of troops. These troops are their strength and capital, so they will not hand them over easily."
"But if these troops are used to conduct overseas expeditions, then they will willingly agree and send their troops out to obtain lands beyond the islands for themselves."
"This is the root cause of Japan's borrowing troops." Fang Bie explained quietly.
"This is not enough." Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bie and said calmly and coldly.
Fang Bie's explanation is indeed not enough.
Especially under the premise that Emperor Tianlu has no intention of murdering the other party.
"How does Your Majesty feel about Dazhou today?" Fang Bie continued to ask: "Or let me make it clearer. If everything I said is true, then does Dazhou have the ability to expel Japan from the Kingdom of Goryeo?"
"Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly." Emperor Tianlu pondered and said: "No one can guarantee it. Moreover, Japan is attacking in full force this time, and its rear is on an island protected by the sea. I have no ability. There is no intention to go on an expedition and cross the sea to defeat the enemy."
"But." Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bue: "Although it will be a huge waste, I am still sure that I can drive Japan out."
When Emperor Tianlu said this, he showed great confidence.
He has an extraordinary understanding of his control of government affairs, the form of the country, and the loyalty and abilities of his generals.
Because in the final analysis, Emperor Tianlu is not an unscrupulous emperor. Although he regards the country as his own private property and tries his best to make the world thin and fatten himself, he is also like a calculating shepherd who knows what he gets from the wool. When the wolf comes, the sheepfold needs to be repaired.
As if Japan really invaded at this time, Emperor Tianlu decided almost instantly to expel these foreign invaders at all costs, because this would completely shake the foundation of his rule.
This is also the reason why Emperor Tianlu has not stopped taking action until now.
Because the Japanese invasion has indeed become the top priority for Emperor Tianlu to consider.
And Fang Bie is the important person who brought this information.
"Yes, Your Majesty is so sure now, but what if the time comes thirty years later?" Fang Bie asked back: "At that time, if it is not Your Majesty who is in charge of the Zhou Dynasty, but your descendants, you have Are you sure your descendants are capable of quelling such an invasion?"
Fang Bie asked quietly.
Emperor Tianlu fell into silence at that moment.
He didn't have this certainty.
After all, after I die, I won’t care about the flood.
Although Emperor Tianlu believed that he would live a long life, there were never absolutes in matters of life and death.
The current Zhou Dynasty is capable of quelling the Japanese invasion, but what about thirty or forty years later?
"If you knew that a bomb would explode sooner or later, would Your Majesty wait for it to explode slowly, or would you detonate the bomb in advance and minimize all losses?"
Fang Bu continued to ask.
Emperor Tianlu couldn't help but laugh: "So I should thank you, right?"
"If it's just this matter, then Your Majesty really doesn't need to thank me." Fang Bie looked at Emperor Tianlu: "After all, I really caused the war."
"But as I said before, the war was caused by me. Moreover, if the Zhou Dynasty destroyed this group of Japanese troops who crossed the sea, it would be difficult for the rulers of Japan to gather the same group of battle-hardened troops. On the contrary, because the daimyo in their own country have been generally weakened, they can further control the power and army of those daimyo, thereby achieving the effect of completely calming down the troubled times."
"So - even if the Japanese army on the expedition to Goryeo is completely wiped out, this is one of the consequences they can accept."
Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bie and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Because this young man said something dangerous.
If he regarded these two hundred thousand lives as his own bargaining chip, such a man would be a bit too scary.
"So what do you mean?" Emperor Tianlu looked at Fang Bie.
"Before we crossed the sea, we had already made an agreement with Oda Nobunaga to ask him to prepare for a big defeat." Fang Bie looked at Tianlu Emperor: "After all, those daimyo who temporarily surrendered to him actually had their own agenda and were ready at any time. To counterattack, Oda Nobunaga had no trust in them and was happy to see them squander their precious samurai in distant lands."
"Of course, a big victory is also what Oda Nobunaga would like to see."
"So." Fang Bie paused and finally said what he ultimately relied on.
"Actually, I went to Japan this time with His Highness Yan Yu."
"His Royal Highness Yan Yu had a direct dialogue with the Emperor of Japan, reached an agreement, and promoted the unification of Japan. The other side of the agreement was the expedition after the unification of Japan."
"Japan will send two hundred thousand dead souls to assist His Highness Yan Yu in his return."
"If I can get out of here alive today."
"Then your Majesty will gain a hearty victory that seems to have been orchestrated by someone. In the future, your Majesty will be an unparalleled wise king who easily put down the Japanese Rebellion."
"But if I die here, it means that the negotiation between me and His Majesty has broken down. According to the agreement between Yan Yu and me, His Highness Yan Yu will do his best to help Oda Nobunaga conquer Goryeo."
Don't look at Emperor Tianlu.
smiled.
"So the ball is back in His Majesty's court."
