"Uh-huh, then what?" Xiao Feixing, who was interested, immediately nodded and asked.

Slowly walked to the side of the brocade mat, shook his head, and sighed Xiao Muxing continued: "Like this kind of clever tongue, once people are bewitched by it, they will feel that he has great talent. Back then, the third brother pacified Eastern Xinjiang, and the entire empire, from his father to the emperor, down to the Li people, had a feeling that the empire was unstoppable. It is also this feeling that keeps the whole country in an abnormal state of euphoria. Not to mention the high-level of the empire, even ordinary civilians think that after being angry for so many years, the empire that came out of the embarrassment of being surrounded on all sides should teach a lesson to the miscellaneous people around who have invaded the imperial holy land for countless years. ”

"I can understand this, even if it's on the stars, don't you often see ignorant people now, looking at attacking the white widows today, and shouting to destroy the color eyes tomorrow. Xiao Feixing nodded, and said with some puzzlement: "Then what?

Shaking his head slightly, and nodding again, Xiao Muxing said in a deep voice: "The blind optimism in the court has completely affected my father's mind, not to mention that there is a flattering person around him who agitates all day long. At that time, even Brother Wei felt that since the national strength was strong and the Xingchen Army was brave, he should naturally teach the surrounding neighbors who were usually high-spirited first. But the only person who objected was the third brother who had just been promoted to the commander of the Star Army. ”

"Ah? The third brother objected? The third brother felt that he couldn't win the battle? But didn't they all win the battle after that? Xiao Feixing was even more puzzled.

"At that time, you were not born yet, and the third brother had just destroyed Dongjiang not long ago, although everyone in the court hoped to have another great event to expand the territory, but the father was not mediocre after all, so the third brother's opinion was very important. At that time, the third brother drew his sword in the court for the first time to kill someone, and the target to be killed was that Chen Wenxiu. Xiao Lingtian's face was a little more gloomy, "At that time, Chen Wenxiu advocated that if you want to dominate the world, you must first take the weak and then win the strong. The strategic goal he proposed was to march to the northwest first, and after directly destroying the thirty-nine states in the northwest at that time, he could cut off the connection between the Northern Qi and the Semu, so that the Northern Qi would become the northern vassal state of the empire. Immediately, the army marched westward, attacking the color eyes that did not have too many trenches to defend, and finally marched south to destroy the white widows and obtain the great unification of the whole star. ”

"Isn't this nonsense!" Xiao Feixing waved his fist angrily and said: "At that time, the White Wa people not only occupied the entire territory of the Bone Devouring Corridor, but also the seventeen star fields in the southern frontier were all in the hands of the Bai Wa people. If the White Wa people only need to move northward slightly, let alone the southern frontier, even if it is the many star fields in the middle of the empire, even Sheng Jingjing will be in danger under the troops of the White Wa people!"

"Yes, that's true!" Xiao Muxing nodded, and then sighed again, "It's a pity that there were too few people who could see this clearly at that time, and the third brother proposed a strategy that was extremely inconsistent with the important ministers of the imperial court, or the emperor." That is, to consolidate the alliance with the Northern Qi, to appease the northwestern states, to befriend the Semu, and to defend the white Japanese in the south, while he sits in the eastern frontier, and strives to quickly integrate the eastern frontier into the overall economic, cultural, political, and military system of the empire. ”

"This is the right strategy! If it weren't for the third brother guarding the eastern frontier back then, just the rebellions that came one after another, as well as the attacks of the Northeast Star Thieves, would have made the empire anxious, how could there still be a good life today. Xiao Feixing immediately asserted.

"Hey, it's a pity that even the elder brother felt that the third brother's strategy was too conservative and difficult to explain to the people. Xiao Muxing glanced at Xiao Feixing, Yu Xiaoxiang and others beside him, and said helplessly: "You haven't experienced that era, and you can't imagine what the state of national fanaticism is." At that time, as long as you dared to say that if you fight, you will lose, and if you peace, you will win, in this case, then you will not be labeled as a traitor, and you are also a typical example of a cowardly and cowardly person who is not worthy of being a Longhan person. In this fanatical situation, even his father felt that the third brother's ideas were too conservative and completely different from his intentions. Everyone seems to think that as long as the Empire sends troops, it can easily capture any star field they want.

However, the third brother is stubborn, whether it is his father's side attack, or knowing how to reason and so on, no matter what, he just refuses to send troops. In the entire court, he was the only one who dared to fight head-on. In the first few court meetings, they were just arguing with each other. You also know that if you use your mouth to speak, there are really not many opponents in the third brother's tongue, and in the end, it will be over. But after that, the wind direction slowly began to change, especially the group of people led by Chen Wenxiu, who extended the original political disagreement to the third brother's desire to monopolize military power, and it was precisely because of these words that the third brother was so angry that he drew his sword to fight for the country. It was also the first real quarrel between the father and the third brother, and they didn't want to see each other. ”

Xiao Muxing paused, shook his head helplessly and said: "You also know the temper of the third brother, if you are stubborn, even a hundred dragons can't pull it back, and then simply threw the Tiger Talisman, the commander of the Star Army, to the main hall, and directly prepared to pack up and go back to the Lingxiao Star Domain, which was still in tatters at that time, to retire." In this way, after being persuaded by hundreds of officials, and his father realized that his words were too intense, the third brother was finally persuaded to come back, and he was also given the official position of the governor of Dongjiang Town, and went to Dongjiang to guard. In the next 20 years, the third brother rarely returned to Beijing, and when he returned to Beijing again, it was also the time when your mother was pregnant with you.

Although the initial dispute seems to have eased a lot, Chen Wenxiu's group still refuses to give up, and for more than ten years, they often take advantage of the opportunity of being summoned by their father to advocate their own plan to conquer the world. The father is also a person, how can he not be moved in such a situation. Endure and endure, endure for 20 years, and finally endure until the eastern Xinjiang has gradually stabilized, and the star thieves in the northeast were also beaten by the third brother and did not dare to come out to invade again, so the third brother's position as the governor of the Dongjiang town guard was withdrawn, and he was ordered to return to Beijing. ”

"Oh, I see. After that, did Chen Wenxiu's old thief start to come out and be a demon again?" Xiao Feixing looked at his brother in front of him with some concern, and the answer he got was really the same as his prediction, Xiao Muxing nodded slowly, which confirmed this worry. You can even see some helplessness and sighs in his eyes.
