Inside the study, it suddenly darkened.

Xiao Shiji lit the lamp on the desk and sat down on the Taishi chair behind the bookcase. Like Xu Yanbang, he was also surprised by Xu Shao's behavior.

However, after so many years and several life and deaths, he has become much calmer, so he did not ask anything, just stretched his whole body, leaned uprightly on the Taishi chair behind the bookcase, and looked at Xu Shao quietly.

Xu Shao closed the door of the study, leaving only a narrow gap. Turning around, he was also looking at Xiao Shiji.

This man, he watched him grow up from a young man, and now he is no longer the poor son of a good family who was slaughtered by others. Xiao Shiji is already a member of the party, holding heavy power and taking charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Moreover, as far as Xu Shao knows, Xiao Shiji's power is definitely more than what everyone sees on the surface.

Xu Shao breathed a deep sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You should be like Xiao Shiji." Your father will be proud of what you have accomplished today. ”

Xiao Shiji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Lord Xu praises falsely." I'm a rough man, and I can't compare to Lord Xu from a scholar clan and a family background. If you have something to say, just say it, it's just a waste of time. ”

Xu Shao nodded, sat down opposite Xiao Shiji, clasped his hands in front of his chest, pondered for a moment, and asked, "You should have also gotten the news about the situation in the Turkic royal court, right?" ”

Xiao Shiji was a little moved, his body leaned forward, leaned on the edge of the bookcase, tilted his head slightly and asked, "Could it be that Lord Xu knows what I don't know about the news of the Dao?" "I actually played sloppy with Xu Shao.

Xu Shao raised his head and smiled.

"Lord Xiao is stationed in the northern frontier. Where can news from the north escape your ears and eyes? Xu Shao said half-sincerely, half-flatteringly.

Xiao Shiji slowly leaned back on the back of the Taishi chair, lowered his eyes and smiled: "Actually, it's all the same." I know the news of the Dao, and the court knows the Dao. He figured out Xu Shao's intention, and wondered if Lu Dao was here to be a spy for Emperor Yonghui?

As soon as Xu Shao heard it, he knew that Xiao Shihe had misunderstood, in fact, he very much hoped that Xiao Shihe could continue to misunderstand, but unfortunately he didn't have much time. If this matter is not resolved in his lifetime, he will not be able to die blindly.

Xu Shao sighed deeply again, rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, and said very tiredly: "Let's not go around in circles." Since you said that you know the news of the Tao. The imperial court knows the way. Then I'll say it bluntly, those two Ke Dun of the Turkic royal court are making trouble and are going to be unfavorable to my Daqi, what are you going to do? ”

Xiao Shihe slapped his hand on the bookcase. He smiled and said, "Of course, it's like a fly." - Let the two of them bounce for so many years. I've had enough. ”

Xu Shao's eyes lit up. He poked his hands forward to the edge of the bookcase, and said eagerly, "How do you want to shoot them to death?" ”

Xiao Shiji smiled but did not speak.

"Don't worry, I'll be on your side." Xu Shao saw Xiao Shihe and did not speak. With a slight thought, I understood what he meant.

How to deal with the Turkic royal court should be a military secret.

Xu Shao is neither an official of the Ministry of War, nor a special envoy of His Majesty, nor a confidant of Xiao Shiji, so of course these secrets cannot be told to him.

If you want to know the other party's secret, you probably have to tell your own secret first.

Although this secret can inevitably be exchanged for the same benefits, he is not asking for those things outside of his body.

"Are you planning to send troops to the Turkic royal court and directly destroy Jieli Khan?" Xu Shao did not give up and continued to ask. He must get an affirmative answer from the other party before he can reveal his secrets.

Xiao Shiji thought for a moment. He would soon go to Chang'an to persuade Emperor Yonghui to agree to send troops to Mobei. This matter will soon not be a secret, of course, it is for a relatively small number of people. Most people don't know who they're going to fight until they send out their troops.

Xu Shao must be among those few people.

"Lord Xu, I do have the intention of sending troops, but the question is, whether I can send troops is not in me, but in Chang'an." Xiao Shiji also made his words very clear. He wanted to send troops, but Emperor Yonghui might not be able to agree. And judging from the situation in recent years, Emperor Yonghui was more willing to conquer Goguryeo than to fight the Turks in Mobei.

Especially in these years, in fact, the Turks are quite regular, much more regular than the previous Great Zhou and Yongchang Emperors.

Goguryeo has frequently violated the border over the years, always fighting and running, which makes Emperor Yonghui very angry.

And for the current Great Qi, it is difficult to support two wars at the same time. The news of the Turkic collusion with Dashi is just intelligence, and if it is really confirmed, it is estimated that the daylily will be cold......

In other words, whether to fight the Turks or Goguryeo first, on the side of Emperor Yonghui, must be a question of choosing one of the two.

If he can get Xu Shao's support, will he have a better chance of winning?

Xu Shao smiled slightly and said, "I can help you maneuver." In my opinion, it is also more important to fight the Turks than to fight Goguryeo. The time and place are favorable, all three are available, and if you don't fight, you will regret it for a lifetime. ”

"Exactly!" Xiao Shiji slapped the book case heavily, "So I have made thorough preparations, and I am bound to persuade His Majesty." If Lord Xu can help him, he will be grateful. With that, Xiao Shiji stood up and bowed solemnly to Xu Shao.

Xu Shao hurriedly stood up and avoided it, and stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Shiji, "Shiji doesn't need to be polite. As a subject of Great Qi, this is my duty. You led the soldiers of Daqi to fight bloodily and expand the territory for Daqi, which is a model for all the people, and the merit lies in the community! "Lift Xiao Shiji very high.

Xiao Shiji was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said with a smile: "Lord Xu has won the award." This is easier said than done. ”

"What's this? As long as we identify the goal and go all out, although thousands of people are going forward, it is what people in my generation should do. Xu Shao continued to encourage Xiao Shiji, and then changed his words, "Shiji, since you have decided to fight the Turks, I also have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?" Xiao Shiji sat down and asked with a smile.

……

Xu Yanbang stood outside the door of the study for a while. After walking around a few times, I felt bored and couldn't help but glance at the door of the study.

He was surprised to find that the two doors were not completely closed, leaving a narrow gap in between.

A few rays of light came out of the cracks, just in time for him to see Xiao Shihe's face facing the door, as well as the back of his father Xu Shao.

In the beginning, nothing special.

But after a while, he saw Xiao Shiji's face change. From smiling, to indifferent. From indifference to consternation. Then from astonishment to stiffness, the whole face was a little distorted, as if it had been greatly stimulated. I don't know how to react for a while.

The most rear. Xiao Shiji covered his face with his hands. His elbows were propped up on the bookcase, and his shoulders shook slightly, as if he were crying.

Xu Yanbang is so strange. I don't know what my father said, but he actually made the adults cry when he said that he had always been moody!

He forced his curiosity to turn away and stop looking at the gap.

The voices of the people in the house were so small that he could not hear anything unless he put his ear to the door.

Xu Yanbang stood under the cloister outside the door of the study, looking at the dahlias blooming in the courtyard, the tall wooden trees on the side of the courtyard wall, and a batch of two-person maple trees planted along the courtyard wall, and then looked at the blue sky above the courtyard wall, unconsciously clasped his hands in front of his chest, and his thoughts did not know where to fly.

……

Xu Shao and Xiao Shiji stayed in the study for a long time.

It wasn't until the evening when the lamp was in hand that the door of the study creaked open, and Xu Shao staggered out of the study with his back bent.

As soon as I came out, I saw the glazed palace lamp hanging under the cloister. The bright glass was radiant, and Xu Shao raised his hand to block the dazzling light.

Xu Yanbang hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Shao, "Dad...... Uncle, what do you say? Having said so long. Shuang'er sent someone over and asked several times, saying that the banquet was ready, and asked when we would go in for dinner? ”

Xu Shao's whole person was even more tired, he held Xu Yanbang's hand, shook his head and said, "I'm tired and want to rest." You tell Mrs. Xiao to thank her for her kindness on my behalf. But I was old and frail, and I had just gone through a long journey, and I was so exhausted that I didn't go to eat. Ask her to prepare some porridge for me, and I will go to sleep after eating. ”

Xu Yanbang saw that Xu Shao's face was pale, and he really looked like he had been tired for a long time, so he hurriedly said, "No problem." Uncle, I'll take you back to the guest house. ”

After talking for a long time, he didn't see Xiao Shiji come out to see him off, Xu Yanbang couldn't help but look back at the study.

Xiao Shiji's position was empty, and there were no more people to see him.

"The shelves are too big, aren't they? Even if you're in a better position than my dad now...... My uncle is tall, but we are all relatives, and my father is ...... Uncle is obviously your elder, ......" Xu Yanbang silently slandered Xiao Shiji in his heart.

Xu Shao took Xu Yanbang's arm and walked out, feeling Xu Yanbang's dissatisfaction, Xu Shao smiled and spoke for Xiao Shiji, "It's not Shiji Tuoda, it's really what I told him today, which shocked him too much." He had a hard time accepting it, and there were. Don't be him. ”

Xu Yanbang was very curious, "Uncle, what did you say?" ”

Xu Shao smiled and shook his head, "...... You don't have to ask. When it is time to know the way, it will naturally be known. ”

Just now, he reached an agreement with Xiao Shiji.

Xiao Shiji took the Turkic royal court and brought back what he wanted, so he naturally gave Xiao Shiji an explanation.

Xu Shao walked out of the courtyard door of Xiao Shi and the outer study, looked up at the direction of Mobei, and silently counted down the days for the Turkic royal court in Mobei in his heart.

Before he said those words to Xiao Shihe, Xiao Shiji might just try his best to fight the Turkic royal court. If it doesn't work, he won't regret it too much.

But after this moment, Xiao Shiji must fight the Turkic royal court. Not for anything else, just to find out the truth of the year and give his father an explanation......
