"Get up!" Mu Qingen waved his hand at them.

After everyone re-seated, Mu Qingen looked at Mu Qiuhuang and asked, "Huang'er, do you know why a father would be willing to bear the infamy of a butcher and executioner, and also destroy the living force of the grassland barbarians at one time?" ”

After hearing this, Mu Qiuhuang thought for a while, smiled slightly, and said, "The reason why my father did this is because my father is ready to use soldiers, right?" ”

Mu Qingen glanced at Mu Qiuhuang appreciatively, did not admit it or directly deny it, but showed a playful smile, and continued: "Go on, why do you think I'm going to use soldiers?" ”

"The reason is actually very simple, because my father recalled six righteous brothers at one time this time!" Mu Qiuhuang glanced at the six of them and continued: "These six righteous brothers usually guard one side for their father, except for their father's birthday, they will all come back together, and whenever they are recalled by their father in the rest of the season, isn't there a war?" ”

Seeing that Mu Qiuhuang said a well-known nonsense, Mu Qingen scolded with a smile: "Don't play tricks, you know that what I want to hear is not this. In other words, even if I am ready to use troops, what does it have to do with the fact that I want to destroy the living forces of the grasslands? You must know that in just a few days, the news of the massacre of 200,000 grassland civilians by our Beiyu Army will spread to the whole world, this infamy is not light, not to mention that after this battle, our Beiyu Army will have no training place, isn't this more than worth the loss? ”

Mu Qiuhuang smiled, and also began to get serious: "Because of the location, the grassland borders my Beiyu, and belongs to the rear of my Beiyu, if the grassland barbarians go south, the first thing to bear the brunt is my Beiyu Marquis, if my Beiyu army lives in a corner, it can naturally deter the grassland barbarians and make them dare not move." But what if my Beiyu army goes out of Beiyu? What if the wolf ambitions of the steppe barbarians are revealed? ”

Mu Qiuhuang glanced at everyone and continued: "The child still remembers that His Majesty summoned the princes ~ into King Qin in Beijing for three years, and his father had already led troops to the halfway point, and it was because of the sudden invasion of the grassland barbarians that his father King Qin was unsuccessful...... In other words, the existence of steppe barbarians is one of the most unstable factors. There is a cloud in the art of war: 'If you go outside, you must first settle inside', what Second Brother Shen did this time is equivalent to completely eliminating the hidden danger for us, I believe that at least within 20 years, even if the grassland barbarians have the heart to go south, they will not have this power. As for the training that my father said, it is even more non-existent, I believe that after so many years of 'hunting', my Beiyu sergeant should have seen blood in everyone...... And since my father is preparing to use soldiers, why worry about having no place to train soldiers? ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Mu Qiuhuang with admiration, and they naturally knew that what Mu Qiuhuang said was all right...... They can see that this is purely a normal situation, because they are all generals who have been immersed in the battlefield for many years, but Mu Qiuhuang is different, Mu Qiuhuang is only twenty years old this year, not to mention that Mu Qiuhuang has been outside for more than a year and has never paid attention to the military trends...... It was not easy for him to see this matter so clearly in the blink of an eye. As for Mu Qiuhuang's sentence "If you go outside, you must first settle inside", in their opinion, there is nothing wrong with it. Although according to normal circumstances, the grassland barbarians are alien and belong to the "outside", but the Beiyu army has long regarded the grassland as its own back garden for so many years, and since it is its own back garden, it should naturally belong to the "inside". Combined with the current general trend of the world and the grassland, in other words...... Except for Beiyu himself, the rest can be called "outside".

"And ......"

As soon as Mu Qiuhuang said this, in addition to admiration, the others showed a touch of surprise, and they began to think about it...... For a while, they really didn't expect that there would be a second layer of deep meaning.

"What else?" Mu Qingen asked with a look of relief.

"If the son-in-law's guess is correct, my father's move is also intended to deter the princes of the world." Mu Qiuhuang sighed when he said this, and explained: "Take the matter of the Ninggade tribe daring to send troops to attack my Beiyu army in the third year of Long Qian, if there is no support from other princes here, I can't believe that the Ninggade tribe alone will have this courage; and the incident when I encountered the golden cavalry in the northern desert border city, there will inevitably be the shadow of the princes in that incident...... In other words, the princes have already hit my Beiyu on the head. As soon as my father's move came out, the prestige of my Beiyu army was bound to be a little louder, after all, the strength that could slaughter several times the strength of the army with 50,000 troops was not something that ordinary princes' armies could have. After this incident, I believe that if the princes want to fight my Beiyu, they will definitely weigh it. ”

"Smack! Syllable! ...... snap" Mu Qingen puffed up his palms and praised proudly: "It is worthy of being my son, and it is worthy of being the son of Beiyu." ”

Seeing this, the others also echoed this, and praised it: "The young master is wise, and we can't ...... it."

After everyone finished praising him, Mu Qingen pointed to the last chair and said, "Sit there!" In the past, I only allowed you to listen and not speak at military meetings because you were too young, but today it seems that my father has underestimated you, so from this day onwards you will be allowed to speak at military meetings. ”

"Thank you, father." Mu Qiuhuang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he walked towards his position.

Everyone was not surprised at all when they saw Mu Qiuhuang sitting down, they knew Mu Qingen's intentions clearly, not to mention that Mu Qiuhuang had also grown up in the military camp since he was a child, and he was already close to the military...... In fact, in their hearts, they still support Mu Qiuhuang's succession in the future.

……

"Okay, now I'll tell you what you're calling back for?" Mu Qingen said slowly: "I went out secretly this time, in fact, at the invitation of Nanzhaohou ~ Wu Mad . Also invited was Xilie Hou Ji Yuan. ”

When it came to Nanzhaohou Wu Madness, Mu Qiuhuang's mind was also moved. He finally understood why his father Mu Qingen had traveled secretly before, and he was still so popular. As I said before, in terms of comprehensive strength rankings, Beiyu can be in the top three, of course, there are only eight princes left, and in addition to Beiyu, the top three are Xilie and Nanzhao. It is difficult to judge which of the princes of these three places is stronger or weaker, because they have not fought together, but one thing is certain, the strength of these three is definitely a lot higher than the other five. At the beginning, when the princes of Emperor Zhao of Longqian ~ entered King Qin, there were only Marquis of Xilie and Marquis Yingzhao of Beiyu, but it did not work. Beiyu was originally caused by the sudden invasion of the Ninggade tribe; The Western Lie Army was blocked by the Nanzhao Army on the way; From this point, it can be seen that the Marquis of Nanzhao has long been disobedient, and the Nanzhao army is not afraid of the Western Lie Army at all. It is even rumored that when the Marquis of Dongche repaired the book to the major princes, in fact, Wu Maia, the Marquis of Nanzhao, replied to the letter, but he broke his promise in the end and did not raise troops to respond...... At the beginning, after the army of the Marquis of Dongche was defeated by Xiahou Xuanba, a huge piece of territory that originally belonged to the Marquis of Dongche was divided by several princes near it, and the largest and fattest piece of the "cake" fell into the mouth of Wu Mad of the Marquis of Nanzhao. There is no doubt that after that incident, Wu Mad's sphere of influence and comprehensive strength will be further refined. And the strength of the Xiliehou Mansion is needless to say, at the beginning, they also got a piece of the territory of the Dongchehou.

Mu Qingen looked at everyone, took out a map and spread it on the table, and continued: "For example, the general trend is changing rapidly, except for my Beiyu who has never harassed Yun Jiu, Yun Jiu does not dare to provoke me Beiyu, and the two of us get along quite peacefully, the rest of the princes who are bordering each other have already begun to secretly rub against each other...... The purpose of Wu Mad asking me and Ji Yuan to go this time is to establish an alliance, and the three of us will unite to advance and retreat together, and slowly eat away at these other princes first. ”

Mu Qingen pointed to the map and continued: "According to the geographical location, with the imperial capital Fengling City as the center, the three of us are at the outermost edge of the circle, if we advance into it step by step, the best result is to devour these five families first, and finally just gather outside this Fengling City." Of course, it is also possible that after these five princes were under pressure, they also united with each other to crusade against the three of us...... And the most important thing is that there are some little emperors living in the middle of this circle. ”

Mu Qingen didn't finish speaking, and suddenly changed his tone and said, "I want to ask what you think?" Do you think I should agree to this crazy proposal? ”

Although Mu Qingen was asking everyone, his main focus was still on the body of the Spirit Tiger Ouyang Dongqing, because among these righteous sons, only the Spirit Tiger Ouyang Dongqing was a leader in force and relied on resourcefulness, and was known as having the ability to slaughter and assist.

"Second brother, you talk about it first." The strange thing is that Mu Qingen's first call was indeed not Ouyang Dongqing, but Shen Tu.

"The Father-in-law can do whatever he wants...... Give me 100,000 troops, and I will be able to take the dove for my father-in-law within a year. Shen Tu stood up and spoke.

"So you mean you want me to say yes?"

Seeing that Shen Tu replied by default, Mu Qingen smiled, turned to Ouyang Dongqing, and said lightly: "Third child, tell me your opinion." ”

"Yes." Ouyang Dongqing stood up and said: "Father-in-law, pay attention, now this little emperor is in the center of the circle, if the father-in-law agrees, the direction of our march is towards the imperial court...... Whether we have the intention of rebellion or not, the other princes are only afraid that they will oppose us for the reason of eliminating the chaos for the little emperor? That is, we do not occupy people's hearts. ”

"Then you just don't want me to say yes." Mu Qingen said with a smile.

Ouyang Dongqing smiled and said, "No, Erchen suggested that his father-in-law agree." ”

"Oh?" Mu Qingen smiled and said, "Didn't you just say that we don't want to send troops to occupy people's hearts?" Why did you ask me to say yes? ”

Ouyang Dongqing continued to reply: "Back to our father-in-law, we can promise him first, but as for whether or not to send troops, it is not up to us to decide......

Mu Qingen smiled, looked at the others and asked, "What about you? What do you think? ”
