The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 36: The Great Wall is empty and self-approved

At the beginning of the twelfth year of Tongtai, the Yong army plundered Wu and Yue, the public ordered Yuhang to supervise Yuhang, and practiced the rebel army to defend the coast. Everyone could not take care of the Jianghuai war as a public. The public sent Yang Xiu to join the army to attack Sizhou, Chuzhou and Huaixi. The general Shiguan marched into Suzhou, but the Yong army did not expect the public to initiate a provocation, and lost Suzhou and Chuzhou, and Huaibei was in danger. Lai Dayong made Pei Yun desperately refused.

In March, General Rong Yuan of Xiangyang heard about the war, blamed his public to belittle himself, and did not tell him. Instead, he led the army to take Nanyang, and the Zhong Yong army lured the enemy. Instead, he lost Xiangyang. Retreat to Yicheng. Public desires add to the crime, and they are still hindered by each other. Rong Yuan then attaches to power, hates public desires and sins against himself and hates him deeply.

Yong Chu fought for more than a month, and the two armies in Jianghuai had a victory and defeat, but Wu Yue was deadlocked, but lost Xiangyang, but lost the Jingxiang barrier. The battle was not settled, Jia Mengguan was sold by a traitor, and the court wanted to inquire about the crime. . Gong Qu protects Yumian, he petitions himself, thanking the main army for the disadvantage, and still expresses his comfort, dare not to guilty Yumou, but he is suspicious of him.

In April, the king of the Yongqi Dynasty supervised the south of the Yangtze River, and the public fought with him. From the middle of Shu to Wuyue, the war was fierce. The public asked the court to say: "War is fickle, and advances and retreats are uncertain. All prefectures and counties need military control." Shang Xiang As a last resort, officials below the Jianghuai and Jingxiang grades, Xu Gong got it from Jizhi, although he was secretly angry and said nothing.

In October, Da Yong asked for peace and discussion. He wanted to win Suizhou and Jingling. Xu Yi stopped the soldiers. He was still yin and Xu Zhi. The public heard. When the court rebuked: "If you lose Jingling and Suizhou, then Jiangling and Jiangxia If you don't guarantee it, Emperor Wu has worked so hard to get it. How can he easily abandon it to Tiger Wolf."

In the thirteenth year of Tongtai, the Gong Lian defeated the Yong army, Jingling and Suizhou were safe, but the Hanzhong Jiedu made Qin Yong from Micang Road to take Ba County, and the Public Emergency Department would take down Kuizhou.

In August, the Yong army sent envoys, wanting to exchange Chengdu, Jiange and other places with the trapped Jiange, Chengdu Chu Army, and Ba County. The country, if you want to cut it, you can’t argue with the public force, and the phase will stop. At this time, the thought of killing the public is already born, because of the outstanding achievements of the public, I dare not move lightly.

——"The Southern Dynasty Chu History Zhongwu Official Biography"

September 17, the 14th year of the Southern Chu Tongtai year, in Anlu City, the night was dim, the streets were full of solemn soldiers, patrolling quietly, the soldiers and civilians in the city were quietly swallowing, just because today In the afternoon, the Chu army, who had retreated from Xiangyang, arrived in Anlu. Anlu is a large county that belongs to Jiangxia. If the Chu army goes north to Xiangyang, it will have to pass through this place. The Lu family has been operating for many years, and the people here belong to the Lu family. For Anlu people, Lu Can is not just a general of Southern Chu. In the past, Lu Can would stay in Anlu for a day, chatting with the elders in the city, but this time it was a little different. After entering the city, Lu Can went to another job to recuperate. After a while, An Lu's father learned that Lu Can was ill. When the Anjun army heard about it, they were all anxious in their hearts. Almost every family burned incense and prayed, crying to God, and wishing to take away the pillars of the Southern Chu.

Lu's other business in Anlu was nothing more than a spacious house. Although it was austere and vast, it had neither quiet scenery nor luxurious furnishings, except for a few servants to take care of it. Lay down. Now this courtyard has been surrounded by Lu Can's personal guards and will not allow anyone to disturb. In the minds of these soldiers, the imperial envoy who made the general seriously ill is the most unacceptable person.

In the inner room, Lu Can was wearing a toga, standing in front of the window with his hands under his hands, looking at the bright moon in the sky, his handsome face showed a faint fatigue, and he looked completely ill. The night became darker, and the sound of drums came from the darkness in the distance, breaking people's hearts with a sound. At this time, a guard came in and said: "General, Mr. Wei is asking for a meeting outside."

A cold light flashed in Lu Can's eyes and said: "Please come in, Mr. Wei."

The guard hesitated for a while and said: "General, do you send more people, Mr. Wei's martial arts..."

Lu Can said lightly: "No need."

The guard didn't dare to say more, he retired quickly, and after a while, introduced a graceful man. Lu Can turned to look at him and said: "Mr. Wei, I think you should be here these two days."

Wei Ying was shocked when he saw Lu Can, but he hadn't seen him for a few months. Lu Can's temples and Xingshuang had a few points more. Although his calm and calm temperament did not change, he was obviously a little bit more. Burnout. However, this was already expected by Wei Ying. He looked solemn and stepped forward and said: "Wei pays a visit to the general. The general has worked hard all the way. I don't know what the general has planned for what is about to happen?"

Lu Can smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Wei came to see me as the first seat of the Fengyimen Chentang, or did he come as the guest in Lu's scene?"

Wei Ying's eyes flashed and said: "Naturally, it is the general who came here as a guest, and there is no way to prevent all kinds of things that are not conducive to the general from happening. I also ask the general to forgive me."

Lu Can shook his head and said: "It's not that you can't stop it, but you didn't even think about it."

Wei Ying bowed his head and said: "Why did the general say this? I really didn't expect General Rong to be impeached, let alone rumors, and even those women who didn't know how powerful they were. Forced to retreat, but the power of a certain person in Wei cannot be compared with the monk Xiang, Yihuangtang, and Fengwutang, so he is helpless and put the general in this situation."

Lu Can said indifferently: "This year, when the king came to power, when you came to the post, you once persuaded me to try to make Mei Er the queen, but I refused. Later, the queen mother wanted Mei Er to be her concubine. The news has not leaked yet. Feng'er already knew about it. The little power I stayed in Beijing was just to listen to some imperial movements, and I couldn't go deep into the inner palace. I learned of such secrets. Feng'er was only a nominal leader, but because of this kind of thing. It takes a family from Lu to take care of it, but Feng'er got the news in advance, and told Mei'er to leave without telling his mother, but you secretly sent a master to guard along the way. According to your temper, if it is Meier Entering the palace as a concubine can not only bridge the gap between the Lu family and the royal family, but also fight Concubine Ji. It will benefit you in many ways, but you secretly help Feng'er. Why is this?"

Wei Ying raised his head and said calmly: "The general is an important minister in Southern Chu, and Miss Mei has both virtue and capacity. If the queen dowager and the lord intend to set up the young lady as queen, this is a matter of course, even the general cannot directly Rejected, but the general is not willing to exchange the life of the young lady for prosperity and wealth. This is also the love between the father and the daughter. It is understandable. After that, the queen mother wants Miss Qu to be her concubine. If the general really agrees, wouldn't it be a laugh in the world, so I did not ask for an order to assist the second son to send the young lady to Shouchun, but the general also underestimated the second son. Although I made the news leak out, the second son learned about this from other channels, and I never thought of it. The son has such courage, he immediately deceived the young lady to go north and go to the eldest son. As for escorting along the way, that is also a matter of course."

Lu Can raised his eyebrows and said: "Lu Mou is envious of Jiaofang's pet, Meier is naturally gentle, how can I bear to let her fight with people in a place where the sun is not visible, otherwise, if I have the heart, I just want Meierli It’s not impossible to be a queen. But since ancient times, women have been in the palace, and fathers have been officials. There are few good deaths, so I don’t want to marry the royal family. Even Yun’er, I don’t want him to be the lord. Although Princess Shuning Yes, but I prefer Yujin who can fight alongside Yun'er as my daughter-in-law. What's more, this is what Yuner meant. My Lu family has never flattered the victim. Although you are somewhat selfish about this matter, I also want to thank you. , If once the queen mother clarifies the intention of establishing a concubine, if she refuses again, there will be a head-on conflict, that is not my will. However, in the case of Rong Yuan, you are unexpected to me. If you follow your previous habits, it is that I don’t Agree, Rong Yuan’s second impeachment memorial is definitely not handed over."

Wei Yin's face sank and said: "If the general sees the next, there is nothing to say. Yes, I can indeed design to assassinate Rong Yuan, or rob memorial midway, but this is going to be against Feng Wutang. This time, Yan Wushuang, the first member of Fengwu Hall, went out to protect Rong Yuan’s safety. The second memorial was sent to Jianye by Xie Xiaotong from Yihuang Hall. How could Wei make a move? Could the general think Wei was against them? Is it a matter of course?"

Lu Can smiled faintly, and said: "If it hadn’t been for knowing that Mr. Wei broke with them two years ago, I would not trust Mr. General to do so, nor would it easily fall to the point where it is today. Could Mr. Can Chan trust you?"

Wei Ying's heart was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that the dispute between himself and Ji Xia and Yan Wushuang in front of Ling Yu less than two years ago was also known to Lu Can, and he was in a trance, Lu Can said. The indifferent words are like thunder in the sky to him. Since leaving Dayong, deep in his heart, he has despised himself a long time ago, and even often feels self-defeating and abandoning himself. If there is still an enemy living in the world, it is likely that he has long been unable to do so. He continued to linger and panting, but Lu Can treated him like ordinary people, as if he had never treasoned or conspired against his relatives. Over the years, he has trusted and reused him. Unknowingly, Lu Can has been more important than everything in his mind. He was a little flustered and said: "General, please hear the explanation, it is, it is..." But he felt that there was nothing to say, and the excuses he had originally thought could no longer be said.

Lu Can didn’t look at him, turned to look out the window, and said coldly, “When I retreated to Xiangyang, rumors arose from the south of the Yangtze River. In the past few years, your Chentang has gained my support and its power has increased greatly. No, it’s inconvenient for Yang Xiu to come forward openly, why did you not move?"

Wei Yin reluctantly said: "The general should also know that Da Yong has always had secret spies in my southern Chu territory, and there are many weak people in Jiangnan who are afraid of the Yong army. If not, the general will not send troops repeatedly. He refused to inform Jianye in advance. If he hadn’t thrown the rat, I’m afraid that the general would be bloodbathed in Jianye first, and this time Si Wencao’s principal must have been changed. The methods are more secretive and harsher than before. That short song Even the words and meanings are beautiful. Ordinary people just praise the general and don’t mind. Even if I try my best to search, I’m afraid it will be difficult to wipe out the Da Yong's secret spy. On the contrary, it will expose Chentang’s strength. Not to mention the general suspicion by the court. It’s not a day, and even if the rumors are calmed down, today’s things are unavoidable. Instead of doing some useless work, it’s better to make future plans."

Lu Can sighed softly when he heard the words, and said, "Does Mr. Wei want to persuade Lu Can to rebel?"

After Lu Can sent troops to Xiangyang, the many incidents caused by Rong Yuan’s memorial made Wei Ying a bit embarrassed, but if he really did his best, at least he wouldn’t be in this situation, but he also had selfishness in his heart, so Then he reluctantly refused to move lightly. Now he was challenged by Lu Can. He showed an awkward look, but knew that he could no longer prevaricate falsely. He stepped forward and said: "The general forgiveness, it is not that Wei does not change the evil of the past, but Wei It has been twelve years since a certain person has left the south of the Yangtze River. Thinking of the past, a little bit of hatred cannot be eliminated after all, but Wei also knows that there is a difference between the enemy and the enemy. He is a great horse and is now a marquis of the country, and even Li Zhi Faith is heavy, and there is evil shadow protection around me. No matter it is civil or military means, I can’t help him. The only means of revenge is to fight upright on the battlefield. If I can attack the Yongdu with an army and destroy everything that he needs to settle down, that’s it. Really have revenge.

It’s just that Da Yong is like the sky, the Northern Han Dynasty has fallen, and Li Kang has also been defeated. He died of illness in Yongdu, and the situation in Southern Chu is like this. The king of the faint king only knows Gou'an, and the up and down of Fengyi gate have mostly been forgotten. After the hatred of the past, he just wanted to stay in the south of the Yangtze River and didn't dare to mention revenge. I was already discouraged, but the general gave me hope. At the beginning, I just wanted to prevent the Yong army from going south. As long as the Yong army is not allowed to dominate the world, this can already make the Emperor Yong hate endless. Later, I learned that the general also had the ambitions of the Central Plains, so he decided to loyal to the general. Wei did not want to be prosperous and wealthy. As long as the general can step on the Central Plains one day, my hatred will also be reported. Qing, Qu Hu that person, Wei also has no resentment.

Although the general is unparalleled in his army, he has no intention of political struggle. He has the power in the general's hands. Even if Shang Weijun is removed, it is easy to hold the power of the court, but the general is willing to be suppressed by that power. Someone also knows the historical facts of past dynasties. Since ancient times, there have been no internal officials, and the generals can contribute to the outside. If you want to sweep the Central Plains, you need to clear the side of the emperor, clean up the Qing dynasty, and settle down first. But Wei also knows that the general is loyal and has no idea of ​​power, so this time I did not secretly stop the situation from getting worse. I only hope that the general will be forced to raise troops and wipe out the traitorous officials in the DPRK until the DPRK is settled down. , The general commanded the northern expedition, no matter how hard it is, he can make great achievements forever.

If the general is worried about Qingliu's attack, Wei can guarantee that those people have no way to cause trouble. Now the Korean government has long been rampant, Qingliu retired, and the general has fought for many years, protecting the safety of the society, the army and the people. The faint monarch and the traitorous officials deliberately harmed the general. This is a good opportunity to cause trouble. As long as the general does not abolish the position of the leader of the country for the time being, the Qingliu will praise the general for eradicating the traitorous officials. If the general cannot act decisively, I am afraid that not only will the great cause be difficult, but the general will also be killed. When the nest is covered, there will be no eggs, not only the general’s family will be implicated, but also the generals under his command will not be spared. In difficulty. When the time comes, the famous general will retreat and the hero will die. Da Yong's iron cavalry will take advantage of the situation to go south, and the Southern Chu society will be overthrown. Even if the general is dead in Jiuquan, he is afraid that he can't look down, right? "

Lu Can stayed silent for a long time, and said: "When I was a child, I studied history with my husband. Most famous generals in ancient times did not end well. The horse leather shroud is already a blessing from heaven, and most of them will die on the court. At that time, my husband said to me My Lu family is a general for generations. I must learn from Sun Wugong and retire. Don’t be proud of Han Xin, let alone die loyal to Li Mu. But I said to the master that if there is nothing wrong, I might as well learn from Sun Wumingzhe to protect my life. If the war is endless, I will not retreat easily. Even if I have been Han Xin and Li Mu, I will not regret it.

Grandfather Can was the emperor Wu in the army, started from the grass, and became a general. He was graced during his lifetime and buried the tomb after his death. The kindness is so deep, rare in the world, that he should be loyal to repay, but the first king was mediocre and tricky. , The virtuous king died, the good ministers retreated, the father was worried about protecting himself, and kept silent, so that the country was in danger of entering the enemy's hands, and the monarchs were taken into captivity. When my father led the army of King Qin into Jianye, he saw that the old capitals protected by flowers and willows were all broken tiles, so he personally visited Emperor Wu’s mausoleum, weeping blood to plead guilty, this hatred and humiliation, my father is unforgettable until death, even more so I was ashamed that I never violated Yan Zhijian to protect the community. Before he died, he was even more instructive to Lu, and he should not care about his wealth, life, and reputation. Therefore, over the years, Lu Mou ignored the ridicule of the officials, acted arbitrarily, and repeatedly scorned the favor. This time he offended the king, all for the sake of the safety of the society, but if Lu Mou used the court's loss and rebelled in the name of the Qing emperor, wouldn't it be his father's father? Being humiliated underground, ruined the name of Lu's loyalty. "

Wei Yin stood up anxiously after hearing this: "General, how can you fail the heart of the generals in the name of loyalty, if the Yong army crosses the Yangtze River and perishes Southern Chu, general, even if you have the name of loyalty, What's the use? Don’t the generals think about the safety of the hundreds of millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River, and endure the war and destroy the mountains and rivers of Chudi?"

Lu Can smiled slightly and said: "Even if I reverse it, can I save the people of Sheji Li? Then you are too despised of Mr. Yong Dihe. Mr. has always considered his plan. If I conspire with troops, Jiangnan will be great. , Immediately fell into civil strife and war. Although Shang Weijun’s forces were far less powerful than mine, as long as I and Rong Yuan were fighting in Jiangxia on the tenth day, the Yong army would take advantage of the situation and go south. Even if nothing happened in Jiangxia, Jiangling would not be protected. Ning Haihai The army is still in the hands of Shang Xiang, and Zhao Qun, the chief general of Ninghai, is a royal family, and he will surely raise the army. When the East Sea Army takes advantage of the attack, Ning Haijun Mountain will not be guaranteed. You should know what will happen then. Even if there is nothing wrong with Ninghai and Jiangling, once civil strife arises, the families that support Shangxiang will inevitably fight against it. Then the war will inevitably be out of control, and what force will there be to resist the Yong army going south. If I counteract it, it will overthrow the society. Sinner, how can Lu be a stupid and loyal person. It’s just that a man who has done something or not, for the sake of his life and his life, is absolutely impossible. Wei Ying, don’t you still understand it? Your husband is taking advantage of you. The heart of revenge, if it weren’t, I’m afraid this divorce strategy would not be so successful."

Wei Zhen only felt a huge shock in his heart, and his body was faltering. He staggered and retreated a few steps. He also had some predictions about the situation that Lu Can might face when he raised his soldiers. It was Lu Can who said that he was deeply injured. The behavior was unexpected by Jiang Zhe. If someone else said that, Wei Ying would only sneer at him, but Lu Can is different. He has been with Lu Can for many years. Wei Ying knows Lu Can’s talent and wisdom, and Lu Can was a disciple of Jiang Zhe. He naturally knows Jiang Zhe well. If he says so , Must be sure, the humiliation and panic used by the enemy made him almost unable to hold on to himself. At this time, Lu Can’s indifferent voice heard in his ear: "Although Lu has no intention of being a powerful minister, but he is a powerful minister, he usually neglects the jealousy of the court, and the suspicion between him and General Rong has a long history, so I was caught in the trap of my husband. Today’s ending was my fault. Taking my husband as a man must have follow-up methods. I wanted to come to Lu’s life soon. Although Mr. Wei was a little selfish, he never failed Lu, this time I It is no longer possible to return to Jianghuai, and the road news must have been cut off by Shang Xiang, so Mr. Wei can only be asked for help in some matters."

Wei Yin said with difficulty: "The Great Yong Tieqi is still watching. If the general is admonishment, and the general shows good to Shang Xiang, it may not be without life. Shang Xiang is not a foolish person, and there is a possibility of recovery. "When he said this, he himself didn't believe it. If he didn't believe that Lu Can was inevitable, how could he come to see Lu Can lightly, and he had also seen Jiang Zhe's methods. He would not believe the obvious loopholes.

Lu Can smiled and shook his head and said, "Let’s not say whether you can survive this time. Since Shang Xiang is ready to do something this time, he will definitely not only deal with one person, and many old ministries. Shang Xiang will definitely not catch it all at once. There are some generals left, how can we confront the enemy Yongjun, but Huaidong Yangxiu, Shuzhong Yumian, and Huaixi Shiguan must be inevitable. Of these three, Yang Xiu is my confidant, but it is old Shu. The person who has no foundation in Jiangnan, I am editing a book, and you tell him on my behalf that if he is wronged, he will serve the Shangxiang. If he helps, Shangxiang can control the Huaidong army, and the Shangxiang will accept him. It’s my old ministry. I have suffered many defeats in recent years, but I don’t blame him. Almost all of the elite soldiers in Shu have been emptied by me. It is already very difficult for him to rely on tens of thousands of soldiers to fight against the 200,000 soldiers of the Yong Army, but Shang Xiangruo is in charge of the military power, and he is definitely not letting him go. Yu Myian’s temperament, I know, he is already very chilling towards Shang Xiang, and he is not from a family background, but Lu is loyal to him. If I die, he is afraid He will vote in the Yongjun army. If he really has any intentions, he will definitely disobey the order first. Once there is such a sign, you will send someone to seal my sword to Yu Myanmar. He will know it. How to do it. Shiguan’s matter is a bit difficult. His daughter Yujin and Yuner have been married for less than a year. Yujin is already pregnant, and her temperament is extremely chaste and strong. I am afraid that she will not be separated, but Shi Guan You should understand the pros and cons, and I can only let it go. You just need to tell Yuner what I mean."

Wei Ying has a broken heart. Even if the achievements of Xiaoshuang Hall in the past were defeated, he did not regret it so much. He bowed down in the tunnel and said: "General, if there is still life in the army, does the general disregard his wife and his sons? Miss, although Young Master Yun is young, he is brave and good at fighting. He is also very young. The young lady is pregnant and will give birth in five months. Does the general want his grandson to be even as his father? Can’t you see it? Although Young Master Feng is young, he is smart Yingwu. Miss Mei and Little Young Master are both underage. How can the general bear their suffering together."

A ray of tears flashed in Lu Can's eyes, but he turned his head and said sadly: "In order to gather Lu Mou's old ministry, Shang Xiang will definitely not punish Lu Mouming's canonical punishment, let alone immediately attack Lu Mou's wife and children. Yun'er has been in the army for several years and is quite famous. Shangxiang may not let it go, but Feng'er, Meier and Ting'er are all still young. If my expectations are not bad, Shangxiang will move Lu's family to southern Xinjiang. , But I’m sure you’ll do harm on the way. Brother Wei, although you have helped Lu for several years, you still belong to Fengyi Sect. If Chentang is destroyed, Fengyi Sect will also be greatly reduced in power, so as long as Brother Wei doesn’t know how to be with them Right, Shangxiang can still tolerate you. After I die, if I can take care of my old feelings, please try to help. You don't have to entrust Lu to the old ministry to look after them and find a deserted village so that they can settle down."

Wei Ying’s face was ashamed when he heard the words, knowing that Lu Can’s will was determined, and he would definitely not rise up in rebellion. Lu Can actually arranged everything behind him, just so that the army could not make chaos and not let the big Yong took advantage of the situation to invade south, thinking that if it were not for his own selfishness, he would not let Lu Can not have the slightest chance to deal with it, and until this moment, Lu Can still trusts the future, and does not mind his stigma. Gradually he had an opinion in his heart. He gritted his teeth, blood oozing out, and stood up and said: "The general rest assured, Wei will definitely try his best to protect the general's family after giving up his life."

Lu Can said with relief: "I believe that Brother Wei will live up to his trust. You and I have known each other for many years. If we say goodbye today, there may be no time to meet again~ IndoMTL.com~ This shouldn’t be done, but the envoy Already on the road, it is inconvenient for people to see that Brother Wei is still here at the moment, so I can only ask Brother Wei to leave overnight."

Wei Yin nodded lightly, and took the saber and letters handed by Lu Can with both hands. There was another burst of pain in his heart. He endured his grief and turned around and walked out. As soon as I walked out of the room, I heard the noise of people outside, and faintly heard the words "Qinshi" and "Imperial Decree". Knowing in my heart that Jianye's will has come, the guards had been prepared and led Wei Ying away from the side door. Another career.

Walking out of the gate, Wei Yin couldn't help but walk around in front of him to look in secret, and saw that the envoy who was blocked by the sergeant was yelling at the guard guarding the gate angrily, and Wei Yin saw the envoy at a glance. The faces of the people behind them in the costume of the servants were very familiar. Although the faces were slightly modified and the clothes were also made of hands and feet, it was not seen that they were dressed up by women, but they couldn't hide from his eyes and couldn't help but hate them. , The famous disciple who used to be a dignified disciple has fallen into this situation now. It’s nothing more than just stealing peace in Nanchu, and only knowing to exclude dissidents, but because Lu Can refuses to accept their kindness, he will not hesitate to destroy the pillars, so short-sighted, really make People hate it.

While Wei Ying gritted his teeth, Lu Can walked out of the door to guard Lu Can, issued a military order, and let the envoys go in. Wei Ying felt cold, knowing that the matter was finally impossible to recover. At this time, he secretly walked out of the two. The young men bowed respectfully and saluted, one of them anxiously said: "First seat, what should we do next?"

Wei Yin raised his head, his eyes were absolutely decisive, and said: "The grace of confidant cannot be forgotten. Let's go to Huaixi to meet Major General Lu. Li Ming will go with me. Cui Yu mobilizes everyone in Chentang. Listen I ordered that if I can tell the major general to raise troops, the general will still have a ray of life. If not, I will go to Huaidong to see Yang Xiu. In any case, I can’t let my fate."
