Huang Li had no idea that the Battle of Mianyang would become a hot topic of discussion among the officers and would be used on the battlefield in the future. He has now arrived at Dafang City and is about to enter the hinterland of Shuixi.

Shuixi occupies a very large area, including at least the five counties of Dafang, Jinsha, Qianxi, Nayong, and Zhijin. Without precise information, it is not easy to find Wu Sangui's headquarters.

Before that, the enemies in Dafang City must be eliminated, which is the most important task at hand.

"You actually chose to stick to Dafang City?!" Huang Li was a little surprised, and his suspicions returned. "Did he contact Wu Sangui or Li Benzhen to launch an internal and external attack on the city?"

Li Yue thought for a while and said: "Your Highness is overly worried. The general thought that these guys did not know the power of our army's attack on the city, so they retreated into the city. Otherwise, if they retreated without permission, wouldn't they be betraying the master regardless of Wu Sangui?

Suspicion?"

Huang Li blinked his eyes, chinned his head, and said with a smile: "Yes, your analysis is very correct. Even if they knew that the city could not be defended, they would not dare to abandon their master without Wu Sangui's order."

After a pause, he added: "But safety comes first, and our army still needs to be cautious. Lin Guogong's rear team will arrive soon. While we are preparing to attack the city, we will send troops to station at the surrounding arteries."

Li Yue chuckled and said: "Your Highness puts safety first, I am very impressed by you."

Huang Li didn't take it seriously and said with emotion: "This is the change in psychology. At first, when we were surrounded by enemies and the situation was critical, we had to fight desperately to survive. Now that I have some capital, I no longer want to risk my life desperately."

Li Yueshen agreed and said with emotion: "This is also due to the situation. No wonder people's hearts have changed."

"If you can save a few lives, try to reduce casualties as much as possible!" Huang Li sighed softly, squinting slightly and looking at the city in the distance, "The people of China have suffered too much!"<

/p>

Li Yue was silent for a moment and asked: "Are the enemies the Chinese people?"

"It's not the one who worked hard for the Qing court, and Wu Sangui is certainly not the one." Huang Li sneered: "Guan Ning's army is eating the wages of the Ming Dynasty, but has no results against the Jianlu. They surrender to the enemy and conquer the world for the Jianlu. They are extremely vicious.

Damn it!"

For the war in Liaodong, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty spent all its treasury. It collected wages from Liao and forced countless hungry people to rebel. It can be said that the demise of the Ming Dynasty was caused by the unforgivable sins of Guan Ning's army.

Li Yue pursed his lips and swallowed what he was about to say.

"His Royal Highness hates Wu Sangui so much. Can those loyal troops who invaded the capital and destroyed the Ming Dynasty eliminate their hatred?" He didn't dare to think or ask.

Huang Li glanced at Li Yue, thoughtfully, and after a long while he said in a deep voice: "I don't learn from Taizu, but I also learn from Emperor Guangwu. You can study Emperor Guangwu carefully, and then you will know what I am thinking.

."

Among the emperors of the past dynasties in China, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu, although not as prominent as Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, has a very high historical evaluation and can be called the perfect emperor.

He is both the "King of Zhongxing" and the "Emperor of Dingding".

Later generations commented that Liu Xiu was "tolerant and tolerant, and as thoughtful as a god. In more than ten years, he eliminated the evil forces and restored the country. Isn't it a blessing from heaven and man?"

The great man Mao praised him as "the emperor who is the most knowledgeable, the best at fighting, and the best at employing people."

Not to mention Liu Xiu's civil and military skills, he was the only one who could protect his heroes with sincerity and gentle governance. He was called by historians "Since ancient times, the only emperor who could protect his heroes was Guangwu."

Li Yue really didn't understand very well and looked confused, but Huang Li didn't say anything more. He just said, "The hero deserves his fate," and then urged his horse to go away and face the people in the Tuying camp who had completed the survey.

Historically, emperors who came from commoner backgrounds, such as Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, etc., after establishing their own empires, they began to kill their heroes.

Although Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, had the same origin, he was a rare emperor who started and ended well with the founding fathers.

Li Yue suddenly remembered what his father had said, "Both Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty were born into the common people. His Royal Highnesses are royal nobles. They are righteous and courageous. They are gentle and far-sighted and virtuous. They care about human life and are extremely virtuous."

Historically, emperors with relatively noble births, such as Yang Jian, Li Yuan, Zhao Kuangyin, etc., treated the founding officials with great kindness.

Therefore, Li Laiheng believed that emperors with good family backgrounds were more educated, had a bottom line in doing things, and would not kill indiscriminately. This naturally contained elements of psychological comfort, but it also made some sense.

Moreover, Li Laiheng and others also talked about this matter when chatting, and came to the conclusion that the heir to His Highness the Crown Prince was also related to their future well-being.

Generally speaking, emperors whose heirs are young or weak are more wary of Wu Xun. Like Zhu Baba, his son Zhu Biao died early. He was afraid that his grandson would not be able to control the situation, so he wanted to leave his grandson without a thorn.

stick.

Therefore, like the civil servants, they eagerly hope that His Royal Highness will accept concubines and ascend to the throne as soon as possible.

Huang Li didn't know this, but he knew very well that the worries of Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun and other dukes and princes who came from the Shun Army were just because they were afraid of being liquidated in the future due to historical issues.

In the history of China, there are simply too many examples of birds being lost and bows hiding, and rabbits dying and being cooked by dogs!

But Huang Li can't swear to reassure them yet. It is estimated that the effect of doing so will not be very good.

What about Zhu Baba? At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he gave so many alchemy certificates to the heroes, but in the end he broke his promise and killed all the heroes.

Therefore, Huang Li believes that trying to downplay this sensitive issue and letting time and facts demonstrate his character and principles will make it more acceptable.

No matter how well you say it, it's better to do it well. The more you swear on this issue, the more people think you still remember it.

Another key point is that Huang Li cannot comment on Chongzhen easily.

If you praise and praise you, it will make the princes of the country where Shun Jun was born more worried; if you criticize and belittle you, it will be even more inappropriate in terms of status. He is a bastard, even though Huang Li has never admitted it.

This made Huang Li very embarrassed and helpless.

"Perhaps it should be given to Duke Linguo, Duke Wan and others to be promoted to the title of county king! This may require oneself to take a step further before it can be justified."

While Huang Li was listening to the report, he still couldn't get it out of his mind.

As early as the Yongli period, Liu Tichun, Li Laiheng and others could at least be granted the title of county king, but they were a bunch of dukes and princes. This was not only a cold treatment, but also had dark political considerations.

If it were not for the fact that the officials and titles were the same and they were not subordinate to each other, the thirteen families that had united over the years might have achieved greater achievements.

"Since King Qianyang, Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun and others have made greater contributions, it is logical that the Jin Dynasty will be granted the title of county king."

Huang Li had made up his mind and felt a little more relaxed, but he didn't want to waste his time thinking about the titles of the county kings now. He could just leave it to the people below.
