The south of the Yangtze River is staggered, the singing and dancing are leveled, the poetry and wine of Yingchuan are merry, and the drunken gold is at the same time, located in Liangzhou in the northwest, and has always been on the front line to resist the invasion of the Qiang people.

"In a great city of more than 100,000 people, in the end there were less than 8,000 people left...... When the city was broken, Sun Fujun burned down his mansion and committed suicide to martyr himself......" The two sentences on the letter paper were understated, but the rich bloody atmosphere came to the nose and could not be dispersed for a long time. Xu Hui stood in place and was silent for a long time before he said in a difficult voice, "Their efforts have been rewarded, haven't they?" ”

Xu Ze looked at the floating white clouds, and after a long while, he answered Xu Hui's question in a tactful way: "In the southwest of Wuweijun, there are still Jincheng, Anding, Longxi, Fufeng, Feng Yi and other big counties Gongwei Jingzhao, since the royal family crossed to the south, these counties have been controlled by the newly rising northern family, and the majority of them hate the Hu people, and it is not without collusion with the Hu people, in general, it is still more difficult to break through in one go." The Qiang people have consumed too many troops in Wuwei County, and in the short term, they are no longer able to fight, but Wuwei ......"

He didn't finish speaking, but Xu Hui already knew the answer.

Wuwei County, or come back.

In other words, if Daqi is not extinguished for a day, Wuwei will not come back for a day.

The northern land, which is controlled by the family surnamed Bei, is a plate of scattered sand, everyone thinks about their own interests, and refuses to allocate troops to help others and fight against the Hu people, lest they be good people one moment ago, and they will be swallowed by the surrounding jackals, tigers and leopards the next moment. The reason why the north can maintain tranquility is all because of the people's hatred and fear of the Hu people, as well as the existence of famous generals like Qi Zhong, to support the border pass. Once the famous generals collapsed -- just like the assassins of Youzhou and Liangzhou died of illness twenty years ago -- the Hu people could drive straight into the Central Plains without much effort, trampling on the Central Plains, and if they wanted to repel them, they would need to pay great sacrifices and costs.

Everyone knows that if they don't send troops, they will be unlucky in the end, but everyone has a fluke mentality, thinking that Hu Ren's next attack will not be themselves.

A little military, political and economic common sense knows that the geographical location of Wuwei County is extremely important, if the Qiang people control Wuwei County, it is to cut off the connection between Daqi and the Western Regions, and the damage to Daqi is not insignificant, but ...... Thinking of this, Xu Hui had a glimmer of expectation, hesitated for a moment, and finally looked up at Xu Ze and asked: "The countries of the Western Regions have paid tribute to Daqi every year, with rare treasures and countless huge assets, Wuwei is the main road to the Western Regions, and now it has fallen, and the imperial court ......."

"In order to survive, the Shen royal family can't even want Chang'an, and you will still manage Wuwei when they do?" Talking about the royal family in front of Xu Hui, Xu Ze did not hide his disdainful attitude, "Bullying the soft and fearing the hard, bullying the good and fearing the evil, his own selfish interests are far better than the public interests of the country, and he has reached the peak on the road of luxury and comparison, but it is not enough." If you want such a royal family and such a family to allocate troops and financial resources to regain Wuwei, even if it is impossible for Daqi to dominate the world and the prestige of the royal family has not yet fallen, let alone now? ”

"The soldiers are fast, if you attack now, ......" Xu Hui closed his eyes lightly, and said with a little despair and unwillingness, "There is still salvation!" ”

Whether the Qiang people, the Xiongnu or the Xianbei people, they are all a people who grew up on horses, they are not very proficient in attacking and defending cities, and they are not used to living in the city, and the farming and iron-smelting technology is far less developed than the Han people. If an elite force is selected at this time and confronts the weak iron cavalry of the Hu people with lightning speed, it is very likely that the victory will be achieved and the Hu people will be expelled. If it is delayed for a long time, when the Hu people have thoroughly understood the many techniques of the Han people and have taken deep roots in Wuwei County, it will be troublesome.

Looking at the sorrow and despair in Xu Hui's eyes, Xu Ze seemed to see that many years ago, he was full of ambition to change the world, and in the end he could only continue to change himself and adapt to the environment while adhering to his principles, so he sighed lightly, touched Xu Hui's sideburns, and said softly: "Before Sun Xin self-immolated, he had killed all the remnants of the craftsmen and many old farmers...... Most of the skilled craftsmen in Wuwei County were concentrated in Guzang City, and although this move could not have a complete effect, it could effectively delay time. As for the rest...... Forget it! ”

Yes, forget it! At such times, apart from hatred and powerlessness, they can only watch everything happen, but they can do nothing.

So, make a note of it! All the pain, all the unwillingness, all the powerlessness and all the hatred are engraved in the heart, in the bones, and in the blood. Even if he is weak today, he has to sit back and watch everything happen, and when he is strong, he will definitely have to repay it a hundred times!

No, not only the Hu people, but also all the sinners who colluded with them for profit, betrayed the Han people, and indirectly caused a river of blood in Wuwei County!

Thinking of this, Xu Hui restrained his sadness, and the only thing in his eyes was firmness and condensation: "Grandfather, granddaughter discovered an amazing secret today. ”

After saying that, she paused, suppressed the guilt in her heart, and said without hesitation: "Dr. Zhao's proud disciple Sima An is the son of King Luling and Madam Sima. ”

When Xu Ze heard this, he raised his eyes slightly: "Is this serious?" ”

"Eight or nine is not far from ten."

Seeing that Xu Hui said so surely, Xu Ze paced for a while before he said softly: "Put this matter aside for the time being, don't care about anything, with our current strength, once we get involved in this whirlpool, we have to take off a layer of skin if we don't die." What's more, there are still five years, the world will be in chaos, whether the king of Luling has an heir, will he cut off his children and grandchildren, this kind of thing that is more useful in the peaceful years can not be considered. ”

After that, Xu Ze raised his hand to stop Xu Hui from finishing his words, only to hear him say slowly: "I know what you want to say, but if you really go that far, are you afraid that there will be no suitable royal family?" What's more, such a thing as coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes has great benefits and great disadvantages, so it is necessary to carefully consider the timing and candidates. Otherwise, if a bunch of people defected to me, but it was to support the Daqi royal family and plot to get rid of me, a traitor, the rear would definitely be unstable. The people I joined the Xu family in the party were not prosperous, and there were not many people who could be trusted, so I really ...... "If you can be like Cao Cao, there are ten or eight brothers with the same surname and different surnames, and there are nephews and nephews who are difficult to count, one is prosperous, one is lost, and the brothers who have to follow in their footsteps will be great?" It's not impossible to use the concubine, but it is better to enable the children of the poor than to enable the concubine. After all, after so many years of education and the unspoken rules of the family, it is a fool's behavior to want to challenge the rules before they are fledgling.

Xu Hui didn't want to really go that far, but she was used to putting forward all the possibilities in many major matters related to the development of the Xu family, and leaving it to Xu Ze to decide. As soon as she heard that Xu Ze had shelved this idea, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart,

However, Xu Ze was afraid that he deliberately did not let her relax, but after hearing it for a while, Xu Ze said: "There is a prayer post here." ”

"Excuse me?" Xu Huiqi said, "Which one is it this time that provoked my grandfather to tell me deliberately?" Could it be the real Guo's? No, I heard that the little son of the Zhending Guo family is not ......" In the middle of her words, she suddenly thought of one, and her face became ugly: "Could it be ......"

Xu Ze nodded and wrote lightly: "Yes, this greeting post is precisely from Xie Jun's hand." ”

Xie Jun's character is Zhongde, the elder brother of the in-law is the head of the Xie family of Chen County, the official worship is too often, and the sister-in-law is the holy concubine and the mother of the eldest prince. It is precisely because of this illustrious background that he became the pastor of the state and led the state to the rank of lieutenant in the state university. But these are not the crux of the problem, the real key is that Xie Jun is Xie Lun's biological father and Xu Hui's father-in-law in his previous life. If he had brought his two sons with him when he visited...... It was difficult for Xu Hui to guarantee that he could bear it and not stick a few holes in Xie Lun's face. So she didn't think about it, and said directly: "Grandfather, do you think it is better for me to accompany you to translate the Lotus Sutra during this time, or to take my sister out to play?" ”

"When it comes to playing everywhere, you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future." Xu Ze stood with his hands in his hands and said to Xu Hui slowly, just when Xu Hui thought that he was going to deal with the Buddhist scriptures he hated, Xu Ze said again, "But Su Su is different from you, during this time, you and Heng'er will accompany her more, even if it is ...... in the future At least it also gave her a little bit of good memories. ”

"Grandfather ......"

"These people's abacus are extremely shrewd, marry my daughter of the Xu family, and give priority to marrying Susu. I am not afraid of clever words, coercion, and temptation, but I am afraid that they will ask for the holy decree and force them to have no way out. If, as we discussed with you before, it would be very inappropriate and too deliberate to let you enter the Taoist temple in the name of cultivation after a while. Xu Ze said lightly, "But just in case, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Between Xu Hui and Xu Su, why does everyone choose Xu Su? First, because Xu Su is the eldest granddaughter of the Xu family, she can't marry Xu Hui if she doesn't marry; second, because Xu Su's mother is Mrs. Zhong, and her identity is a big difference from Ping's; The third is because Xu Yun's position as the Taishou was inherited because Xu Rong died of illness, he gave up his daughter, no one would say anything about him, he dared to give up his eldest brother's only daughter for the sake of interests, whether it was a celebrity or a rough man, he could drown him with spittle. No matter from which point of view, Xu Su's situation is far more dangerous than Xu Hui, so Xu Hui nodded and responded to this matter.

Worst-case scenario...... This feeling of having no power and being able to be slaughtered by others is really disgusting, and only at this time is I longing for the troubled times to come sooner and sooner...... (To be continued.) )
