The person waiting outside the house was none other than Xue Ne!

At this time, Xue Ne was dressed in a loose samurai uniform, although he did not have the title of Grand Governor, but he was still the same as when he was in Youzhou, standing upright, like a pine and cypress on the ground, full of spirit, without the slightest change.

Xue Ne smiled: "It's only been less than half a year, you kid is now beautiful, don't pretend to be your grandfather, and don't even give a report." ”

"Where, where!" Pei Min accompanied the smiling face and invited him into the house, "Isn't the Metropolitan Governor a boy in the face, no matter how beautiful it is, I can't compare with you." In one fell swoop, Liaodong and Liaoxi were captured to stabilize the situation in Northeast China. That is the real majesty, how dare the kid compete with Haoyue with this little firefly light. ”

Xue Ne strode into the room and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, comprehension is fast enough." This is just the champion, and he has not yet entered the officialdom, and he has learned the flattering official language, which is the material for being an official. ”

When he came to the hall, Xue Ne looked left and right, and couldn't help nodding and said, "Your new home is no worse than my house in Chang'an." The eldest princess is really nice to you......"

"Of course!" Pei Min smiled: "It's just that this gift is too heavy, I'm alone, where do you need such a big house?" I couldn't be busy cleaning, so I wanted to call a few maids, and I asked about the salary, which was not low at all, and I had all the food and accommodation. After thinking about it, I simply didn't invite it, how about love, and when I really became an official, I had a stable income. Please have a few ...... in the view Now the maids in the mansion are all left by the eldest princess, or they will leave in a few days. He glanced at Xue Ne as he spoke, telling him to pay attention. Although Pei Min didn't think that Princess Taiping had the need to spy on him, it never hurt to be careful, all the maids were Princess Taiping's people, even if they overheard something, they could not rule out the possibility of informing.

Xue Ne understood, didn't say some sensitive things, and chatted with him about the current situation, homely.

Xue Ne talked about Pei's mother: "When I left office, I went to your house and chatted with your mother, she was fine, but she was panicked by you." Before leaving, I also arranged for Du Guest to help take care of one or two, he is a serious person, you can rest assured. ”

Pei Min got up excitedly and bowed, there is no news more worthy of joy than getting his mother's recent situation. Now that the situation in Chang'an is chaotic, the game between Princess Taiping and Li Longji is intensifying, Zhang said that another prime minister who followed Li Longji rushed to Luoyang for Princess Taiping, and now there are only a handful of talents available next to Li Longji, and there is not much to say about the embarrassment. The only thing worthy of the emperor's happiness is that the emperor Li Dan regretted a little, delayed Li Longji's decision to patrol the frontier, and fell into a self-entanglement, giving Li Longji a chance to breathe. In the face of this intricate mix, Pei Min was reluctant to let Pei's mother come to Chang'an to take risks with him, and only waited for the overall situation to be settled before taking her over.

Xue Ne shook his hand and said, "Don't be polite, just help each other." Without your inspiration, I can't take Liaodong and Liaoxi. It's just that you won the top prize, but I became white. Thinking of this, my heart is inexplicably on fire. Even now, he was still angry.

Pei Min persuaded: "The Metropolitan Governor should think about it from the other side, I think that the Metropolitan Governor was demoted this time, not only is it not a bad thing, but a great good thing." ”

Xue Ne asked curiously, "What do you say?" ”

Pei Min paused and said, "The situation in the Northeast is almost decided, right?" Although you did not cause much damage to the Xi Khitan, you killed hundreds of thousands of their livestock, cut off their food, and it was not easy to break their bones. ”

Xue Ne praised: "This is the real smart person, Cui Xuandao and Li Sijing, two Tian Shehan who don't know about military affairs, lived to be a dog at an age." We cut off the logistics of the Xi Khitan, which is tantamount to angering them and making them fall into a ruined death. Our soldiers' combat effectiveness was already average, and at that time, we were able to win favor with them head-on. Defend to the death, not hurt the lives of soldiers, and win without a fight, why not. It would be foolish to give up the big picture for the sake of a little credit. ”

Looking at Xue Ne, who became more and more angry the more he spoke, Pei Min understood in his heart that it was not Cui Xuandao and Li Sijing who were stupid, but that if they listened to Xue Ne's strategy, all the credit would go to Xue Ne, and they would only get a small share of the small credit for the surprise attack on the city. But if they defeat the Xi and Khitan on the battlefield head-on, their merits will be significant. To put it bluntly, it is relying on his own soldiers, disobeying control, and acting selfishly.

Xue Ne continued: "With less than 100,000 livestock, the Xi Khitan can only hunt as much as possible before the winter, in order to survive this winter, and we have no power to attack and disturb Liaodong and Liaoxi, and we have more than half a year to consolidate the defense line." By next year, the defense line will be consolidated, and the Xi people and Khitan will be even more helpless in Liaodong and Liaoxi. Not surprisingly, there will be no major war in the Northeast in the next ten years. Even if there is, it is not worth a small fight, and it is unlikely that a large army will be moved. ”

"So!" Pei Min said with a smile: "If the Metropolitan Governor does not give a derogatory punishment, then according to your great merit in seizing Liaodong and Liaoxi, I am afraid that you will be promoted to the Metropolitan Protector, at that time, not only Youzhou, but also Liaodong and Liaoxi and even the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate are under your jurisdiction." It sounds really majestic, but you also said that there is no major war, is it possible to watch the show dryly in office? The focus of Datang's future war is not in the northeast, where the pattern is too small and heroes are useless. The place where we can really show our strengths is that the northwest is the west, and it is to compete with Tubo for Longyou and the Turks for Liangzhou, and even further away for the Western Regions, and compete with the Great Food State for the sovereignty of the Western Regions. That's when the real Metropolitan Governor can exert his abilities, instead of being trapped in the northeast and playing boringly shooting bears and blind people in Changbai Mountain. Now that the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty have any qualifications and military exploits that can compare with you, once the war in the northwest ignites, the governor of the capital will definitely re-enable the imperial court, and it must be the commander of the three armies, and the place where you will fight at that time is the northwest battlefield. ”

Xue Ne listened to the eyebrows flying, and when he heard Pei Min say the key points, he danced with his hands, as excited as a child: "In this way, it is a good thing that I was demoted this time?" ”

Pei Min cried and said, "For you, it is indeed a good thing to get rid of the situation of being trapped in the Northeast. It's not good for me, I was expecting a big backer, but I thought that the backer would fall down, and I was not prepared at all. ”

Xue Ne patted his thigh and said: "What's the hurry, why did you and I come to you, it was just that I couldn't fulfill my promise, and I didn't want to go, and I planned to introduce Guo Yuanzhen to you." He and I are like brothers, and he is also the secretary of the military department. As long as you let you know, with your ability, you don't need me to bother more, he will definitely use it. Besides, what you said is very reasonable, the northwest is the frontier of my generation, and when I rise again, you kid are still afraid that no one will support you? At that time, I will take you to the Western Regions to open your eyes...... No, Guo Yuanzhen, this kid is a well-known little family, give you to him, and he will definitely not return it to me when the time comes. No, you have to give him a note in advance, lest he regret it. ”
