Li Hongyu said that he wanted to observe Qi Yu's use of troops.
In fact, he did have such an idea in his heart.
He personally led the expedition, using more troops to fight against fewer troops, and gained the numerical advantage, but in the end, it ended in failure.
And now, Qi Yu actually wants to destroy Fusang with thousands of people. Tell me, where does his confidence come from?
How could he dare to say this if he had no confidence?
Assuming that he can really do it, I can just take this opportunity to observe and get a glimpse of the essence of his military use.
Of course, let’s also look for differences between them.
Isn’t it true that one should learn and practice it from time to time?
From a self-cultivation point of view, this is indeed the case.
Strong curiosity prompted Li Hongyu to put down his fear and get out of his resistance.
Now that the emperor has been convinced, there is basically no resistance.
Just do it, take action now.
Qi Yu's army has always been invisible. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will still be like this in the future.
I left as gently as I came; I waved my hand gently and said goodbye to the clouds in the western sky.
It can be said that no one knows Qi Dalang's arrival and departure.
Until now, no one knows what happened to Li Hongyu. People speculate that he probably died in the war between Donglu and Goryeo.
Of course, it was Qi Dalang's intention to remain hidden.
Since you want to plan a surprise attack, you must do it as quietly as possible. Only in this way can you catch the opponent by surprise.
Okay, let’s go!
…
The distance between Goryeo and Fusang is not particularly far, they are just across the sea.
It's a flight of only a few days.
Of course, this is for a steam engine ship. A pure sail ship cannot move so fast.
Life at sea is very boring, so boring that it makes people talk to themselves and become neurotic.
Qi Yu is like this now.
A little confused.
The death of Yin Jun and his son-in-law, or the temporary loss of contact, made him feel extremely depressed.
No matter how he adjusted himself, he could not escape the torment caused by the pain. In particular, the scene in his dream of Yin Tao bowing down to beg for her not long ago made him unable to forget it for a long time.
What else could he do but turn grief into strength?
Seeing that Qi Yu was in a bad mood, Huang Fei wisely backed away.
He believed that Mr. Qi should be given more time to adjust, otherwise he would not be able to overcome this hurdle.
However, he was not worried at all that Qi Dalang would get stuck in it and be unable to extricate himself.
If that's the case, he doesn't deserve to be called a hero of the world.
However, Li Hongyu is not as amorous as Huang Fei.
He couldn't bear the boredom and loneliness, and wanted to find someone to talk to, but he felt that he couldn't talk to others, so he could only bother Qi Yu.
Whatever, let’s talk to him.
Seeing the emperor's repeated pleas, Qi Dalang had no choice but to invite him into the cabin.
Since we want to talk, we have to talk about something serious.
In order to create a harmonious atmosphere, Qi Dalang also specially caught a big fish and sifted a pot of old wine, and sat down with the emperor to drink and have a long conversation.
Not bad, questions and answers were answered, harmonious and natural.
Slowly, Qi Yu asked what was on his mind: "Your Majesty, what is your opinion on the martyrdom of Yin Jun and Hong Tao?"
Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked casually: "What do you think? What do you think?"
"Well, let's just judge!"
"oh……"
Objectively speaking, Li Hongyu was not familiar with Hong Tao at all. He only knew that this man was brave and good at fighting and had made many military exploits. At the same time, he is also the son-in-law of the Qi family.
In addition, not much is known about other aspects.
Therefore, Li Hongyu basically did not have much emotional reaction to his death. At most, he would just be a posthumous title after returning to the court.
As for Yin Jun, the feeling is a bit more complicated.
On the one hand, Li Hongyu is very sure of Master Yin's personal abilities and highly praises his loyalty. To be objective and fair, it is not an exaggeration to call him the pillar of the country.
On the other hand, he hates the fact that he has too much power, and he uses his status as a minister of Tuogu to suppress himself at every turn, which is very disgusting.
It can be said that his death was not only a loss to the court, but also a blessing to his ruling career.
Of course, in order to save face, we still have to make a good and beautiful final conclusion, so as to silence those who are talking in the country.
From the emperor's perspective, the above is what he can see and think about the real situation.
Therefore, he seemed to be sincere but said in a perfunctory way: "Second Minister sacrificed his life for the country and is a role model for the world. I will definitely make a posthumous title in the future to show the respect of the world."
"Your Majesty affirms his achievements and praises his virtues. This is indeed the case!" Qi Yu nodded happily at first, and then said: "But Your Majesty, shouldn't you do some self-examination?"
"I...reflect on myself?"
"Well, that's right!"
Qi Yu gently put down his wine glass and corrected his expression: "From a certain point of view, the sacrifices of the two of them have something to do with rescuing your majesty. At the beginning, if I didn't deliberately instigate you to save you, there would be no place in Korea. A three-party melee broke out, but the two of them would not have sent troops because of it. It can be said that if it were not for you, the two of them would not have died for the country. This is a mistake."
"You disregarded the opposition of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and decided to conquer it yourself, which is why you were defeated. The failure of the expedition to Goryeo not only damaged the prestige of the country, but also wasted the lives of hundreds of thousands of Chinese sons. This matter , Your Majesty must take responsibility! Otherwise, you will not be able to silence the world."
Are you... asking me to admit my mistake to the world?
Something's not quite right, right?
If this is the case, where do you put my dignity?
inappropriate! Big mistake!
Therefore, Li Hongyu hurriedly defended himself: "The defeat of Goryeo was all due to the incompetence of Wang Zhifan and the miscalculation of San Dezi. I also went astray by believing their slander. Therefore, this account should be counted in On their heads."
Yes, wouldn't it be better to let the dead take the blame?
This kind of treatment not only safeguarded the dignity of the Holy Emperor, but also gave the world an explanation. Why not do it?
However, this statement was strongly opposed by Qi Yu.
Just listen to him say: "The Battle of Goryeo was personally deployed and directed by His Majesty. Now that he has made a mistake, how can he shirk the blame? How can he serve the world if he has no courage to take responsibility?"
Li Hongyu was just about to scold Qi Yu for being disrespectful, but when he glanced up, he saw that he had an upright face and no deception at all.
Looking at him like this, he is really talking about things.
