It has been a year or two since Linghu Fengxue, and during this inspection, Xin Er has really done a lot of things.

First of all, he relied on the political support and advice of Zuo, Ling Hule and Sun Yan, Yang Chao, Tang Ai, Huang Rong, Yang Fu and others, who were also Yushi, and carried out a series of political and military reforms.

Secondly, he formed an alliance with the Koji family and established his own military base.

Again, the Song family, who had been the representative of the Longzhou valve clan for a long time, was expelled from the court.

In the end, the new post of "recording the affairs of the three governments" was established, which initially ended the situation of "multiple political departments" in Dingxi.

Now, Xin Er's political reputation in the government and the opposition is no longer as humble as when he first entered the royal city, not only is the status of "important minister" relatively stable, but also his prestige can roughly match his identity as a "minister who cares for his life".

However, just as Meng Lang's analysis and inference, life is like sailing against the current, politics is even more so, if you don't advance, you will retreat, the more stable the position, the more Xin Er has a sense of crisis now, the more deeply he feels that his strength is far from enough, in fact, when the Song family lost power, Xin Er's eyes had already begun to cast from domestic to foreign, eager to find new opportunities to establish fame.

Now, here's the opportunity.

Tang Ai's suggestion is in Xin Er's arms.

Although he was in the middle of it, Xin Er said: "When the first king was here, my dynasty tried to take advantage of the civil strife in Qin and attacked Ran Xing. Meng Lang, Ren Jie, he would not fail to consider that if there was a war between Qin and Yao, our dynasty might take advantage of the gap to attack Ran Xing again.

"In the two counties of Longxi and Nan'an, the person who plays against the koji ball is Pu Mao's cousin Pu Badger's grandson. Pu Badger Sun, who can also be regarded as a famous general of the Qin Dynasty, has repeatedly fought against domestic rebellions from Pu Changsheng in the past, and all of them have been victorious. When it comes to his fame in the Qin army, this person is still better than Pu Mao. After Pu Mao killed the lord, he said that he was pretending to be good, saying that he was greedy for fame, and he also gave up the position of the lord of the puppet Qin to Pu Badger Sun.

"Pu Badger Sun is already a strong general, if Meng Lang is on guard, even if Qin and Yao start a war, Ran Xing, I'm afraid it won't be easy to take, right?"

Tang Ai smiled casually, shook the feather fan, and said: "Ming Gong, with all due respect, what you are worried about is not Pu Badger Sun, nor Meng Lang, it should be that you haven't thought about it yet, if you are enterprising and rising, who should you choose as the chief general of our army, right?" ”

In addition to Tang Ai, there are also Yang Chao, Yang Fu, Huang Rong and Zhang Gui.

Xin Er smiled politely, gave Tang Ai a thumbs up, and Gu said to Yang Chao and the others: "Those who know me, thousands of miles also!" He asked humbly, asked Tang Ai, and said, "Qianli, Qing thinks that if I send troops to Ranxing, who should I appoint?" ”

"The best policy is that Ming Gong personally commanded the army, but the situation of the court has just changed, and Ming Gong should not leave the court rashly for the time being. Ai thought that Lieutenant Lu Shuang was the main general of this battle, and he should be a good one. ”

"Kojishuang?"

"Yes."

Xin Er groaned and asked, "How is Koji Lan?" ”

Tang Ai had always been in the army before, and now he is in charge of the military affairs of the whole country, and he is very clear about the ability of the generals in the Dingxi Army.

He replied dryly, "No." ”

Xin Er asked, "Why?" ”

Tang Ai replied: "Don't talk about it far away, just say that Lilan rescued Zhao Yanli in a battle, and it can be seen from this that Lilan's use of troops is cautious, but courage and strategy are lacking." It is more than enough to defend the soil; To open up the territory, the talent is insufficient. ”

"Where's the koji ball?"

"Koji is open-minded and strategic, good at soothing soldiers, and can be used to die by soldiers. It is enough to say that he can do it, and the ball has a little less experience, and now it is just a guard, but he can't be the main general of the army. He can be left to a position of favoritism. ”

There are a lot of generals in Dingxi, and there are not many generals who can take charge alone, and they are even more lacking when they are put under the tent of Xin'er.

The chief of the Western Regions, Shi Suogong, is bold and strategic, and has the talent of a general; Beigong Yue, who guards Xihai County, fights with Rouran all the year round, and it can be regarded as half, but the two of them, one is far away in the Western Regions, and the other is in the northern frontier, so they can't be transferred for a while.

As a result, in the case that Xin Er was not suitable to leave the royal city, the main generals available to him could only choose people from the family of his ally Koji. Therefore, the names mentioned by Tang Ai and Xin Er are all children of the Koji family.

But to say, although the Koji family is an ally, it is not Xin Er's subordinates, if the Koji family is used as the main general, can Xin Er still win a higher military reputation through this battle? Will it make the Koji family's reputation higher than his?

It doesn't hurt either.

First, if the battle can be started and won, then Xin Er is the planner and organizer of this battle, and no matter how many meritorious soldiers on the front line make, they are just eagle dogs, which cannot be compared with him; Second, although he had to choose someone from the Koji family as the main general, Xin Er could send his descendants to participate in the war, so that he could completely share some of the front-line work.

Therefore, it does not prevent him from achieving the goal of "attaining higher military merits".

Koji Lan and Koji Qiu were eliminated by Tang Ai, and Xin Er said: "In this way, it has to be Lieutenant Koji!" ”

"Exactly."

Xin Er hesitated for a long time and said, "I just wonder if Lieutenant Koji is willing to be this commander?" ”

One of the people in the hall replied, "He must be willing!" ”

Xin Er saw that the person who spoke was Yang Xian, and asked, "Why is Shidao so sure?" ”

Yang Chao smiled: "Ming Gong, I dare to ask, the reason why Ming Gong is not sure whether Lieutenant Koji will be willing to be this chief general is because Ming Gong is worried about Lieutenant Koji and is unwilling to leave the court at this time?" ”

The Song family's power in the Dingxi Dynasty is intertwined, controlling many positions in the court, and now that the Song family has fallen, what follows is how to divide the positions controlled by the Song family? It's a big piece of cake. Pan Kuan, Lu Shuang, including Chen Sun, Zhang Hun, and even Sun Yan, etc., are all eyeing each other and want to share a piece of meat. Tang Ai said that Xin Er should not leave the court at the moment, and this is the reason.

It is not suitable for Xin Er to leave the court, so as the primary symbol of the Koji family in the royal court, will he be willing to leave the court?

Xin Er nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"I think that Ming Gong doesn't need to worry about it."

Xin Er said: "Shidao, what is Qing's opinion? I dare to hear about it. ”

"If you can lay down Ran Xing and expand the soil for hundreds of miles for my dynasty, it is not the seal of the county marquis, and there is no merit. The year before last, the Duke of Pan invited the court to worship the Duke of Ming and Lieutenant Koji as the marquis, and the Duke of Ming resigned, and Lieutenant Koji gladly accepted it. At that time, Lieutenant Koji was just a pavilion marquis, how could he be compared with the county marquis? In this way, as long as Ming Gong plays Lieutenant Koji as a general, Lieutenant Koji will not resign! ”

Huang Rong said: "No! ”

All the people looked at him.

Xin Er asked, "What not?" ”

Huang Rong said: "Don't directly recommend Lieutenant Koji!" ”

"Oh?"

Huang Rong stroked his beard and said with a deep face: "Although what Yang said in the army is good, Lieutenant Koji is indeed keen on fame, but as Ming Gong said, Pu Badger Sun, who sits in the western boundary of Qin and the north of Ranxing, is also a famous general of Qin. If it is a battle that must be won, Lieutenant Koji will not resign, and he will not necessarily be willing to leave the capital. …… Cao led the army for a long time with the intention of leading the troops to fight, and the Ming Duke could recommend Cao to lead the army first. ”

Xin Er was stunned, and said in his heart: "Cao Fei? ”

Cao Fei is a battlefield general, when he first became the leader of the middle army, he was in a high position, and the taste was not bad, after a long time, he stayed in the royal city all year round, and he was very bored, he really wanted to take the troops out to fight for a long time. Especially after seeing that after the first battle in the Western Regions, so much gold, silver and jewelry were seized, his eyes were hot, and his desire to fight outside became more and more fierce day by day. At the bottom, he has already told Xin Er many times, if there is another chance to fight, I hope Xin Er can recommend him.

But Xin Er understands Cao Fei's temperament.

Not to mention greed for money, short-sightedness, etc., the most important thing is that Cao Fei lacks tenacity and morality, and when he was in Inozawa, he would often be disheartened because of setbacks, and Xin Er was very impressed by this. This shortcoming determines whether he can be the main general.

Huang Rong said confidently: "After Lieutenant Rong Minggong recommends Cao Lingjun's letter, nine times out of ten, he will take the initiative to ask for help. Rather than being directly recommended, he may be rejected by Lieutenant Koji; Why not raise Cao to lead the army first and urge him to fight? At that time, Ming Gong pushed the boat down the river and recommended Lieutenant Koji as a general, which not only met his intentions, but also got his gratitude. ”

Xin Er understood what Huang Rong meant, and said in his heart: "This is called a little pig not eating, and two little pigs rushing to eat." ”

After pondering for a moment, he thought, "Lu Shuang knows my relationship with Cao Fei, and when he sees that I recommend Cao Fei as a general, it is very likely that he will mistakenly think that this is a good opportunity for me to make meritorious contributions to Cao Fei; With Longdongsu as the territory of the Koji family, he definitely doesn't want to see Cao Fei and me get involved. Combining the two, it can't be said that he will take the initiative to ask for help nine times out of ten, and there is still a certainty of sixty or seventy percent. ”

Thinking of this, Xin Er glanced at Huang Rong and thought, "Jing Huan's grasp of people's hearts is stronger than me, and it is also stronger than Shidao!" ”

Somehow, he remembered some historical stories he had read in his previous life, such as Cao Cao killing Yang Xiu and the like, and thought, "Although Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu for other reasons, it was not because Yang Xiu was often able to guess his mind, but the world's attachment also made sense." A subordinate like Jing Huan, if he changes to a mediocre person to be his lord, how can he not make the lord jealous? ”

After thinking about it, if it was Linghu Feng, how would he treat Huang Rong who offered this strategy? Xin Er glanced at Huang Rong again meaningfully, touched his short mustache, and said in his heart, "Fortunately, you Huang Jinghuan, the lord I met is me!" ”

A plan that is above board will not be frightening; Only by grasping the human heart can people be afraid.

Xin Er smiled and said: "Jing Huan's strategy, a clever plan!" "Xin Dao," Jing Huan said correctly, Ran Xing, it must be fought, but can this battle be won? It's really a five-five. I'm not sure I'm going to win. ”

Political affairs and employing people are the specialties of Yang Chao and Huang Rong; Strategizing, the temple calculation before the war, still has to borrow Tang Ai.

Xin Er set his eyes on Tang Ai.

……

Out of the middle city of Guyin, all the way to the southeast, cross the Yellow River, enter the Puqin realm, pass through Longdong County, Anding County, Beidi County, Fengyi County, travel more than 1,000 miles, is located in the southwest of Hedong County Luozhou.

The chief official of this place is now Pu Changsheng's younger brother, that is, the Luozhou Thorn Shi and Wei Gong Puying that Meng Lang never forgets.

Outside the Assassin's Mansion, a twenty-three or four-year-old Phifa Qiang man submitted a letter asking to see Pu Ying.
