451 Difficulties
Seeing that the assassin was about to be surrounded by heavy troops and stabbed into a sieve, he shouted "Mother, cousin" at the critical moment, which shocked the audience. It was really contrary to common sense. Generally, in this case, either shouting long live xxx or calling for defeat xxx, or he was a hero again eighteen years later, but at this critical moment, he remembered the female relatives at home...
Liu Liwa saw this man, well, and said the boy was more accurate. He was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a square head and big face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was wearing a military uniform. He was so heroic that he was surrounded by guards with live ammunition. Although he was surrounded by guards with live ammunition, he was not afraid at all. His eyes were staring at Wu Liniang and his aunt. 周: 周\\green^sex^small^ss//周
After recognizing this person, Wu Li Niang immediately waved her guard back. The boy rushed over and pulled his aunt directly from Wu Li Niang's hand, and said excitedly: "Mother, you are indeed here. Didn't my father say that he wouldn't ask you to beg for your cousin. He would rather die than go to Dongning, and he wouldn't want to cause trouble for his cousin. We all agreed that we would have to live and die together!"
The boy held his mother's hand tightly, and determined to die. He said that his aunt and cousin cried in one sentence. This is his aunt's son, the only son. He grew up in the military camp and developed a courageous and unyielding character.
Wu Liniang stepped forward, separated the mother and son, hid her aunt behind her, and said, "Erlang, what are you doing? You must not have the idea of suicide. Everything is easy to discuss."
"Oh, what else can be discussed?" The young man sighed heavily, looked at Wu Liniang, with despair in his eyes: "Cousin, I know you care about us, but this matter has developed to this point unstoppable. Dongning's spies have already begun to evacuate the villages along the coast of Dongning. The relocation of the border is being implemented. A large number of sand and stones are being transported to the seaside. They are really preparing to reclaim the sea. All this can only be resolved by my father going to Dongning to personally take the thorns and apologizing for guilt. Unless our Nanchuan gathers the army now and fights with Dongning. Cousin, do you think it is possible?"
Absolutely unwilling to do so. If Nanchuan was ready for battle, Ximen Jian would not have had a quarrel with the court and went directly to Dongning to start the war. Wu Liniang had just returned from Dongning and was responsible for collecting general intelligence. She knew the current situation in Dongning better than anyone else. It is not difficult to see Dongning's combat power only in infantry, with complete configuration and strong combat power. Even if Nanchuan can take advantage of the sea and land on the coastline, once she goes deep into the inland, she will inevitably fall into the quagmire and cannot get out of it. She can only wait for Dongning's infantry to be annihilated.
My cousin's rhetoric question made Wu Liniang turn off the fire. Seeing that she was about to be the queen, her cousin who was about to be the queen was speechless. Erlang's face became even more disappointed. He pulled his aunt up again and said, "Mom, let me go back. My father is now accompanied by wine every day, and he is drunk and dreaming. I am really worried that he will take the lead. We should hurry up and accompany my father well, and then our whole family will go on the road together."
The aunt looked at her son blankly for a long time, and sighed helplessly. Two drops of tears flowed down her cheeks. She originally thought that at least she would protect her only son, but when she saw her, her son was determined to die. It seemed that the whole family could not escape this disaster.
"No, Erlang, don't be anxious." Wu Liniang rushed to the door, blocked the door with her eyes red, and said anxiously: "Don't be anxious, we don't be anxious, there will be a solution. The reason why Dongning is like this is because the new emperor ascended the throne, showed his skills, made reforms, and achieved certain results. At least it successfully won the hearts of the people and received the support of the people of Dongning. They deliberately provoked and made things bigger. A fatal typical example of asking your father to take the blame. It is not just to humiliate your father, but mainly to demonstrate to us Nanchuan, telling us that Dongning is now strong and not afraid of any enemies. It is also to warn us not to harass the Dongning coast again. But the reason why they are so troubled is to verify whether the people of Dongning coast really support them, and to scare us and prevent us from starting a war easily. In fact, Dongning does not want to start a war, but is just testing our bottom line."
At a critical moment, Wu Liniang was still so calm and analyzed the current situation from many aspects. She did have extraordinary wisdom and unique vision. It seems that she deserves the title of queen.
After listening to her analysis, Erlang and his aunt calmed down. In order to completely stabilize them, Wu Liniang hurriedly said: "If you want to resolve the crisis in front of you, there will definitely be other ways. Dongning is just to deter us. As long as we actively send a signal of peace to each other, letting them know that we do not want to start a war, and we can even sign a peaceful and friendly treaty with them, and then offer some gold, silver, jewelry, and other specialties to show sincerity. I believe it will be completely resolved."
The aunt and cousin nodded, thinking that what Wu Liniang said made sense, and the Nanchuan court should have the same meaning now. If Wu Liniang proposed and confirmed this matter, it might really be resolved.
Just doing this is tantamount to showing weakness. When dealing with Dongning, Nanchuan is a strong man, often raiding warships to harass the other coastal areas and plundering supplies. There were countless women. It was once the greatest pride of Nanchuan. Now, Ximen Jian said that he would take advantage of the victory to pursue Dongning and destroy Dongning at one time. The court was unwilling to do so, and even deposed and imposed on Ximen Jian for treason. Now Dongning has provoked and insulted Nanchuan. Instead, Nanchuan has to swallow his anger and pay tribute to seek peace and compromise.
If this is really done, what would the pro-war faction in the court think? What would the Nanchuan soldiers who had just been pacified? They have always been obedient and believed that the Nanchuan people who were born in a strong country and were safe and secure, knew that the court was going to compromise with Dongning, what would the people think?
Things are not as simple as Wu Liniang said, but in order to stabilize the mother and daughter who were emotionally excited, she could only say this, but the mother and daughter are not fools. For them, now is a time of life and death, and the possibility of saving lives is more comprehensive than Wu Liniang. Naturally, she also thought of the method of the court to show weakness and seek peace, and also knew how serious the method would have. The court may not agree, and in comparison, it is more willing to sacrifice his uncle.
The aunt muttered with a nice expression: "The court will definitely not agree to this kind of compromise method. If you want to save your father, unless you find someone Dongning hates even more, send him to Dongning to replace your father."
"My father is a general of Rong Bian. When he was in close combat with Dongning and fought fiercely, he wiped out a team of 10,000 people in Dongning. This kind of deep hatred is probably not something that ordinary people can replace." My cousin said helplessly, but his tone still revealed his respect for his father.
At the same time, these words deeply hurt Wu Liniang's heart. Yes, my uncle is a meritorious minister in Nanchuan. He is both a meritorious minister and a wounded man. Rong Bian has been without regrets for many years. Now he has decisively given up such a meritorious minister just because of Dongning's provocation. How does other meritorious officials in Nanchuan view Nanchuan? Who else will serve Nanchuan in the future? @ya
