glanced at Liu Rui cautiously, "Big brother, let's continue?" ”

"Hmm. @樂@文@小@说 |

Liu Qin knew that Liu Rui didn't understand why he wanted to sort out these intricate relationships, and he brought them to the table and said, maybe Liu Rui would be a little embarrassed and uncomfortable now, but when he understood what he meant, he understood, so he didn't explain.

"There are many other officials in the court, I won't repeat them one by one, in general, most of them are snare under the Jin family and the Cao family, so on the surface, the Cao family seems to be on an equal footing with the Jin family, and compete with each other, but in fact, the Jin family's influence in the court and the local area is still not as good as the Jin family, one is that the Jin family is a family of the previous dynasty, which is deep-rooted, and the Cao family is the upstart of this dynasty, and the other is the Ministry of Rites controlled by the Jin family.

Everyone should know that for many years, the Ministry of Rites has sent people to preside over the autumn and the spring of the imperial capital, and those scholars can be said to be protégés of the Jin family. ”

Liu Qin's words made everyone's face darken a little.

"Arnold, bring me the map."

Fang Nuo received the order and spread out the map he had prepared on the table, which was a relatively complete map covering all the regions of the Han Kingdom.

In the Han Kingdom, it is impossible for ordinary people to have such a complete map, and I don't know how the virtuous brother got it, Liu Rui said secretly in his heart, leaned over and took a closer look, even he was surprised, this map seemed to be different from what he had seen, more detailed than what he had seen.

Liu Qin looked at the map in front of him. said: "Just now we analyzed the situation in the DPRK and China, now let's talk about the military distribution, here. Here ......" Liu Qin pointed to the east area, "here borders the country from the east, stationed in the Eastern Army, the elite 200,000 in the Eastern Army are in the hands of the Cao family, Cao Guifei's brother Zuo Wei General Cao Yuheng, I heard that he is a civil and military all-rounder, and he has won the sacred heart."

Mocheng to the north. There are 500,000 troops stationed, and Peng Chenghua, the general of the right guard, has been stationed here for many years. Because of General Peng, although Bei Xiao has always been ready to move, he doesn't dare to really offend.

Liangzhou in the west is far away from the Western Xia Kingdom. Among them, there were 300,000 troops stationed in Xiliangcheng on the border, and this army was originally a subordinate of General Nie, a brave general. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Qin looked at Liu Rui, and sure enough, he saw a trace of pain passing through Liu Rui's eyes.

I couldn't bear it in my heart, so I called softly, "Big brother? ”

Liu Rui smiled reluctantly, "I'm fine, Brother Xian continued." ”

"After General Nie died, it is now in the hands of the Jin family. The current general, Fei Qian, once served in the Ministry of War, and he has his current status thanks to the support of the Jin family.

Huai County, near the imperial capital, has a guard army, and this army is about tens of thousands of people. It is regarded as the garrison of the outer city of our Yang City, and its leader is Fan Buming, the captain of the light car, and Fan Duwei is married to the daughter of the Jin family.

There are about a few thousand officers and soldiers guarding the city in the city, and there are at least a few thousand guards in the royal forest, I estimate that there are more than 10,000 people, and this 10,000 is the elite of the elite. can block ten, but more than 10,000 people are in the hands of the Shu family. The commander Shu Jiaqi is the younger brother of Shu Guiren, and it is rumored that the outside world is a boy and a girl, and the soft and charming posture is not under his sister, hehe, if possible, I want to see it. ”

Yan Sù's topic suddenly appeared these two sentences, which shocked the other three, Jiang Li glanced at her very angrily, Fang Nuo pursed his lips and said nothing, but Liu Rui smiled, "This rumor is true, Commander Shu's demeanor is also very admired by his brother, if the virtuous brother wants to get acquainted, he can introduce it to the brother." ”

Liu Qin immediately stopped his deviation from his train of thought, and said with a sneer: "This matter is not urgent, this matter is not urgent." In addition, the garrisons in various places are scattered in peacetime, and when there are important matters, they will be assembled and transferred. Big brother, what I just said, right? ”

Liu Rui nodded, "What Brother Xian said is true. "I was very curious in my heart, although I provided some information, it was far from being so detailed, where did the other virtuous brothers get such accurate information?

He didn't know that Liu Qin was determined to build a transnational caravan, and he was very concerned about the national strength and military strength of various countries, so he collected some information about this aspect early, and then compared it with the one sent by Liu Rui, he could guess that it was not far from ten, as for the number of troops, hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands, they were all estimated numbers, and it was impossible to be accurate, even Liu Rui did not know the exact number of troops, this is the most important secret of a country, how can an idler know.

But it's basically not bad, and Liu Qin's main thing is to clarify the distribution of forces, which is closely related to what she will say later.

Jiang Li and Fang Nuo's faces have not been better, before yesterday, the three of them also discussed something, but now that they listen to it again, they still feel cold in their hearts, this, isn't it completely hopeless, the court has no supporters, no cronies, and in this army, there is no intervention at all, what has the eldest prince done for so many years.

is so empty-handed, and still vainly trying to get on the throne, in their hearts, it is really no different from looking for death.

But it's your business to find death, why drag the Liu family into the water, and pull your sister into this filthy and bloody battle.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li and Fang Nuo looked at Liu Rui with both resentment and a little unkindness.

Liu Qin didn't care what the three of them thought, she took care of herself and wrote the words "eldest prince, three princes, five princes, six princes" side by side on a blank piece of paper, and then marked a number below each person: 1:5:3:1.

After writing it, I remembered that there were no Arabic numerals in this life, and I didn't bother to change them, and in the inexplicable eyes of the three people, he explained: "If the odds of winning are calculated by ten percent, then the three princes account for fifty percent, the five princes account for thirty percent, and the eldest prince and the six princes each account for one percent." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that all three of them had gray faces, especially Liu Rui, who looked even more concerned, as if he had reached the end of his rope.

"Alas, why are you so depressed, I don't say this to attack the rustic spirit and destroy your own prestige." Liu Qin was a little amused, and knocked Fang Nuo with his hand, "The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles." Only when you know the strengths and weaknesses of yourself and your opponent can you use countermeasures. ”

How can we have an advantage, it's all a disadvantage. Fang Nuo touched his head and said silently in his heart.

As if hearing the words in his heart, Liu Qin smiled and said, "Besides, the eldest prince also has his advantages." ”

Liu Rui's eyes lit up, he looked at Liu Qin seriously, and only heard her say: "First, the eldest prince is both a grandson and a long-term prince, and the ancient precepts are cloudy, and establishing a successor should be the foundation of the long-term, it can be said that if he succeeds to the throne, it is the will of the people, and it is easy to be recognized;

Second, it is the attitude of the emperor, maybe you all think that the eldest prince and the eldest brother are not favored by the emperor, so can we think the other way around, if the emperor is the third prince or the fifth prince, then what is the reason not to establish the prince, they all have strong support behind them, even if the five princes are slightly inferior, but with the emperor's strong support, it is enough to compete with the Jin family and the three princes. From this, I boldly guess that the emperor did not appoint the crown prince, in fact, because the person he wanted was too weak, and he was waiting for him to become strong, strong enough to protect himself, strong enough for him to stand in front of the world without worrying about the dark arrow behind his back.
