Chapter 181: Opening This Door, Leading the Trend of the Times

Is it Chen Dafeng again?

Su Yi was stunned. He suddenly felt that Jiang Xiaoci seemed to like using this knife.

Does she find it easy to use?

"Why?"

Su Yi asked. He had no obvious resistance, but was just out of curiosity and wanted to know Jiang Xiaoci's reasons.

"Xiao Ci, Chen Dafeng has too many uncontrollable factors, and he is better at individual combat, not suitable for leading an army in war, and he does not understand detailed work such as freeing people."

Su Yi is not worried about Chen Dafeng. He prides himself on being a bit good at judging people: "I'm not worried that Chen Dafeng won't win. I'm just worried that he will be too murderous and turn a good thing into a bad thing."

"What Mr. Chen said is absolutely true. Chen Dafeng is not completely satisfied with the needs of going out to march."

Jiang Xiaoci said softly: "But he is brave. When the army fights abroad, it must ensure victory, so the brave general is the first choice."

"Sir, looking at this matter from the outside, it's just that you are asked to assist the field commander, but in fact there is a lot of room for maneuver, and the potential benefits are not small."

"Although it is safe to let Qin Dashan go, he may not be able to win quickly; only Chen Dafeng can win quickly and win greatly!"

Jiang Xiaoci's beautiful eyes became brighter and brighter, and she spoke calmly: "This is your first foreign war, sir. It touches outside Jinling City. If you fight well in the first battle, you will naturally gain the trust of your superiors."

"Then, sir, you will have the capital to set foot outside the city, the prerequisites for expansion, and the orthodox identity."

Jiang Xiaoci's soft words made Su Yi suddenly startled: "Expansion? You want me to take Xinchang and Guangling! Complete occupation!"

To be honest, Su Yi had a moment when he also thought about this possibility.

But he didn't take this possibility too seriously.

First of all, Su Yi is really dedicated to the people. He first considers the survival and safety of ordinary people in these two cities, and first considers the issues of disaster relief and liberation.

Secondly, Su Yi thought that the superiors did not agree with him to take these two places. If he went too far, he would inevitably become a "bad" commander as considered by the superiors.

Su Yi's original plan was to resolve the troubles in the two places and help the commanders and comrades take better care of the local people.

As for your own army, you can just send it out and then come back.

Don't ask for plots, just ask for your heart.

General Wang's visit today has made Su Yi's earlier guess come true.

There is indeed a method to blackmail the commanders, and use the power of other commanders to clean up the team, which is very similar to the royal method of checks and balances.

Su Yi didn't want to become the target of being conquered by commanders from other regions who traveled thousands of miles away. A man who devoted himself to serving the people ended up becoming a reactionary force in the eyes of orthodoxy. This was simply a great shame and humiliation.

"Sir, this is an opportunity given by above, why don't we take it?"

Jiang Xiaoci didn't think so. She chuckled lightly: "The superiors are not at home, so naturally they know that there is chaos in the house, and someone needs to be in charge of it. Commanders from various places divide their troops into garrison, which may be good at first, but in the long run, there will be chaos."

"Few people can keep their minds steady in the face of power. Even Mr. himself... I'm afraid he occasionally has evil thoughts that run counter to his beliefs."

Jiang Xiaoci's soft voice made Su Yi silent.

He does sometimes have some bad thoughts, but they are quickly suppressed by his own beliefs and principles.

In the face of the huge temptation of power, who can truly avoid oppressing the people?

It's really hard.

This is the greatest desire that goes straight to the human heart.

From ancient times to the present, when it comes to caring for the people, there are only a handful of great people who can do it without criticism.

This is great wisdom, great patience, and great awareness that only geniuses can have.

"At the beginning of the announcement of the commander structure, the higher-ups may have been able to see the future, and it is inevitable that there will be conquests against each other."

"The way to weigh things is not a perfect one. It's actually a helpless move from above. They just want the advantages to outweigh the disadvantages."

"Since the world is destined to be conquered, why don't you, sir, take action to quell the chaos? Since you keep claiming to be for the people, how can you rest assured that all the people will be miserable and begging for survival under the command of others?"

"Sir, if you have great courage, you should do something grand and welcome all the people under my rule. I love all people myself and don't need to ask for help from others."

What Jiang Xiaoci said was quite heartbreaking, leaving Su Yi speechless.

Take Xinchang, take Guangling...what else do you want to take!

Su Yi knew that once the hole was opened, it could not be stopped.

Either don't fight or fight to death.

The air was filled with a suffocating silence.

"I'm afraid this isn't... overstepping the rules."

Su Yi suddenly spoke, some words did not need to be said clearly, Jiang Xiaoci could naturally understand.

"The chaos of the doomsday is endless, and the pattern has entered the very depths of the universe."

Jiang Xiaoci suddenly raised her head, looked at the red sky, and suddenly smiled and said: "Sir, this is no longer a fight between one country on the earth, but the survival of mankind. If we continue to stick to the old etiquette, I'm afraid it will be a disaster. ”

“Only by surviving today can we worry about the future.”

"If I can reach the future, I will seek a complete solution for my husband."

"But at this moment, sir, you must not retreat, you must act bravely, and you must not be limited to what you see and think above."

"As long as you have a clear conscience."

Jiang Xiaoci stopped. She waited silently for Su Yi's statement, giving Su Yi enough space to think and weigh.

Now that some things have been done, and now that some positions are in place... we can't help ourselves.

For such a big matter, only Su Yi can make the decision. She can only slightly influence Su Yi, and more importantly, she can state the interests for Su Yi.

Even though Su Yi repeatedly avoided the question raised by Jiang Xiaoci, he knew clearly in his heart that this was something he would definitely face in the future.

With a huge force, he saved more people and gained a great reputation!

Then it is inevitable that the world will suspect that you want to change the dynasty?

If you do this, are you really living for the people, or are you greedy for your own power?

Su Yi tried his best to avoid facing this question head-on, but it was a question he had to face directly.

"Xiaoci, can I still get out of this situation in the future?"

"But the power and tactics are balanced. As long as you don't fight, I can do it."

Jiang Xiaoci paused and said lightly: "This is not difficult. It can be a tacit understanding that everyone knows."

Different times naturally require different strategies.

But can he really wait until the day when he can get out of this situation in one piece?

Su Yi didn't know, he was silent.

After a long while, Su Yi spoke in a slightly hoarse voice: "So Chen Dafeng is the most suitable person. He can do things that I am not convenient to order, right?"

"Sir, saving the people comes first."

"Chen Dafeng leads the army only because he is brave and can suppress the forces that endanger the people to a greater extent."

Jiang Xiaoci lowered her head slightly. Even though she was not in front of Su Yi, she had some small movements, as if she was hiding something or feeling guilty.

Su Yi was weighing the pros and cons, but Jiang Xiaoci thought he had stepped into a situation where he would die if he did not fight.

The changes in the situation are always more terrible and more rapid than people think.

"I hope he is really just brave."

Su Yi's tone was complicated.

For the first time, he realized what it meant to be unable to control one's heart and body.

The people in power in all dynasties probably had such troubles.

Some things are not a question of whether you want to do it or not, nor a question of whether you can do it, but you can't stop it at all.

Jiang Xiaoci almost revealed her true intention, but it was the only time she didn't tell Su Yi directly that they both knew the answer but didn't say it out loud.

"Huh..."

Su Yi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

More than ten minutes later.

He spoke calmly: "Let's do it this way. Let Chen Dafeng lead 5,000 defenders as the main force, and Qin Dashan lead 3,000 modern legions as the auxiliary force."

Su Yi didn't worry about Chen Dafeng's loyalty.

With Chen Xiaoling in Jinling, Chen Dafeng's kite line was still in his hands.

As for the others...

Su Yi knew that he couldn't stop it.

He weighed it, maybe he wasn't smart enough, or maybe he really had a complicated heart.

Su Yi didn't know.

He could only feel that the trend of the times was pressing on him, driving him to keep moving forward.

He couldn't stop.

"Xiaoci."

After Su Yi gave the order, he looked up and looked out the window. The red sky reflected his cheeks, which were hot.

"Sir..."

"You know, this is the first time I feel that this doomsday is really fucked up."

"But it made me meet you, sir."

Jiang Xiaoci paused, and suddenly smiled brightly: "I am very lucky to witness the growth of a leader of an era, to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and to share the same taste."
