Perhaps His Royal Highness couldn't find a topic to talk to me anymore, so he left the room after a few more simple greetings.

This is not surprising, after all, the disparity between our identities is so great, if it weren't for these adventures these days, I probably wouldn't have been able to cross paths with him for the rest of my life.

What's more, I expected that he only regarded me as a rescuer in his heart, and in order to repay my life-saving grace, even if he raised me in this room with good food and drink for the rest of his life, it would not be a problem for him.

But at the same time, he doesn't expect me to be a useful help in the future.

After all, the staff and ministers around him are all famous and talented, either they won the imperial examination or became famous, so where is my place in the market.

And until now, even I don't know what I can do.

I can neither put pen to paper to settle the world, nor can I go on the horse to determine the world.

Speaking of which, there is only a slight shallow opinion on the art of war, but this kind of ability cannot be revealed at all.

Don't you want me to memorize a few military books in front of the Third Highness?

But the things in this world are really mysterious, sometimes even you haven't reacted to it, but others can discern the pearls and discover your talent first.

No, just as I was thinking hard about how to behave in the future, don't waste the kindness of the Third Highness in vain.

Lord Yuan, who had never left, spoke.

I saw him smile kindly at his little sister and said:

"Girl, Brother Ling must be hungry at this time, why don't you take the girl first and prepare some food?"

The little sister nodded very knowingly, turned around and left the house, leaving us alone in the house.

At this time, Lord Yuan walked over with a smile, sat on my bed, and then motioned for me to sit down too, and said:

"Boy, how is it, does the old man say that he will do it?"

At this time, I still complained a little that he had ruined my good deeds before, so I rolled my eyes and said angrily:

"Master Yuan is the director of the country, so it must not be difficult for me to be given a false position as a teaching assistant."

Lord Yuan smiled.

"Hehe, boy, what you said is light, I have a lot of talents in Dawei, and there are few vacancies in the government offices at all levels, even those scholars who have studied hard in the cold window and obtained fame may not be blessed to be officials in the court, and it is common to be assigned to be a petty official in a remote place, or even idle at home for three or five years. If it weren't for the good relationship between the old man and the servant of the ministry, and the mediation of the Third Highness, you really wouldn't have that blessing. ”

What he said is true, although Guozijian is only a teaching institution, it is directly under the Ministry of Rites, and he can indeed be regarded as an official in Beijing.

Since the implementation of meritocracy, the Great Wei Dynasty has been particularly pragmatic in the appointment of officials, so that many students who have written well in the eight stocks of the article have been unable to take office as officials because of their lack of practical governance ability after they have won the imperial examination.

The imperial court does not support idlers, which has become an iron rule in the officialdom of the Great Wei Dynasty today, so it is really not easy for idlers like me to successfully get an official and a half-job.

Thinking of this, I finally straightened my attitude and said to Lord Yuan:

"Thank you Lord Yuan for your kindness."

Old man Yuan waved his hand, took out a few pages of paper full of handwriting from his arms, handed them to me, and said in a deep voice:

"This is the strategy I told you to write a few days ago, the old man has already read it, well, although it is not so amazing, but it is better than the language is detailed and clear. It seems that the old man expected it to be good, you do have the potential to become a military aircraft counselor. ”

Hearing him say this, I suddenly felt a little strange, in fact, when he ordered me to write the next strategy for cutting down Shu, I was a little suspicious, this arrangement is obviously targeted, it is clear that it is aimed at my strengths, and just now he said that he "expected to be good", which proves that he has long known that I have been involved in the art of war, but I have never met Lord Yuan before, how did he know all this?

But after thinking about it, I was relieved, although this old man Yuan acted strangely, but after all, he was a friend and not an enemy, even if he really found out my details by some means, it would be beneficial and harmless to me, so why should I bother myself.

So I turned my attention back to the strategy in front of me, and muttered:

"To be honest, I also had doubts when I wrote down the strategy a few days ago, if my lord wants to test me, why not choose the Northern Qi, not the Southern Tang, but to draw up a strategy for cutting Shu? You must know that Shu has been in a safe corner in recent years, and it is not the imaginary enemy of Great Wei, isn't it..... Could it be that Great Wei is going to use troops against Shu in the near future? ”

Lord Yuan twisted his beard and smiled, nodded and said:

"Well, what you think is right, the Ministry of War is indeed already discussing this matter, but the old man is not in the Ministry of War after all, and he doesn't know the details. Why, do you also have an opinion on this matter? ”

Originally, I was just guessing, but after hearing Lord Yuan's personal admit, I was taken aback, and hurriedly told what I was thinking and thinking.

"Today, the four countries stand side by side, although our Great Wei is located in the Central Plains and the national strength is growing, it is still a situation surrounded by strong enemies. The Southern Tang Dynasty was weak, so it was okay not to mention it, but the Northern Qi Dynasty was still strong in military strength, and in recent years, the two countries have been engaged in constant friction on the border. This rash attack on Shu will be attacked on the back of the enemy, and the same mistake will be made as the previous dynasty! ”

Lord Yuan bowed his head slightly after hearing this, and said lightly:

"Well, it makes sense, but now the situation has changed, and Northern Qi is no longer a problem."

"What? Why do you say that? ”

"A few months ago, the Northern Qi sent an envoy to propose a peace with the Great Wei, and then the Second Highness personally came forward to negotiate, and finally the two countries successfully signed the alliance, and the Great Wei returned the land around the Qinghe River that it had occupied before, and the Northern Qi expressed its willingness to respect the two emperors and respect each year, and pay 500,000 taels of tribute to the Great Wei every year for the next ten years, following the alliance of the Qin and Jin dynasties in the past, and reconcile with the Great Wei forever."

Northern Qi actually took the initiative to sue for peace? This was a bit of a surprise to me, and I couldn't help but be a little skeptical and asked:

"Hmm....... Why did the Northern Qi suddenly ask for peace talks? Could it be a false intention to make peace, but in fact waiting for an opportunity? ”

Master Yuan shook his head and said:

"No, a few days ago, the young son of the Emperor of Northern Qi had already arrived in Anyi City, and if he made peace, he would not send a proton. Moreover, the deputy of the hussar general Han Li also returned to Beijing to report on his work, and according to him, the Northern Qi did intend to dismantle part of the border army as a sign of sincerity. As for why the Northern Qi Emperor was in a hurry to negotiate peace, guess for yourself. ”

I pondered for a moment, straightened my joints slightly, and replied:

"Although the Great Wei has been pressing step by step over the years, there has been no further action, if it is only because of the growing strength of the Great Wei, the Northern Qi is afraid of peace, it is really not in line with their style all along, and it is not an external threat....... That is the problem of the Northern Qi Dynasty! ”

Lord Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, it's very smart, Northern Qi is located in Yanzhao, which was the land of Longxing of the Chu Dynasty back then, so there are many wealthy lords and countless famous families. Even if the Chu Dynasty collapsed later, the relationship between China and China was still intricate. In the past, the reason why the Li clan of the Northern Qi Dynasty was able to quickly establish the country was precisely because of the strong support of these tycoons. However, water can carry boats and overturn boats, and these gate valve families have now become maggots on the tarsal bone, and there is a faint tendency that the tail will not fall. With these people in the middle of the court, the Northern Qi Dynasty is unable to communicate with the government orders, and the news is blocked, if the foreign army is used again and again, I am afraid that before my Great Wei Wangshi captures Beiping, the Li dynasty will fall apart first. ”

After listening to what Lord Yuan said, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I said excitedly:

"In this way, now is indeed a good opportunity for Shu to use troops, if we can take Shu in one fell swoop, then the Yangtze River natural danger that has blocked the south of the Great Wei for many years will also lose its effect, we can send troops from Shu and advance by water......"

I kept talking about my plans, looking crazy, as if a prostitute had met a prostitute.

As I was talking, Lord Yuan suddenly interrupted me, and he asked with a serious face:

"Boy, have you ever been on the battlefield?"

"Uh...... Nope"

Lord Yuan let out a long sigh and continued:

"When you go to the battlefield and see the broken corpses, the blood and the internal organs all over the ground, you won't be so excited anymore. The old man heard that you are proficient in military drama, and he also knows that you are familiar with the art of war, but the battlefield is not a sand table, and human life is not just a number in a book. Well, I'm not your husband, so it's not convenient to talk too much, but you will understand these things. ”

I was dumbfounded by his words, and my heart was shocked.

As he said, in my favorite military books, some record how to march and set up formations, and some record how to count thousands of miles, but none of them has ever recorded how cruel and bloody the battlefield was.

They only tell me that the victor will be admired for eternity, but they make me lose sight of the fact that the road to victory is also made up of countless living human lives.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt awe-inspiring respect for the old man in front of me, perhaps because it was a blessing to my soul, and I suddenly fell to the ground and said in a loud voice:

"Lord Yuan's teachings today, Xu Junwen is unforgettable! If the adults don't mind the rude and rude Junwen, I would have worshiped under the adult's door, before and after the saddle, and there would be no complaints! ”

Lord Yuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded with satisfaction and smiled:

"Well, it's not too stupid, I didn't make the old man wait too long. Get up, Zi said: I have not tasted nothing if I have restrained myself above. Serve tea and pass water away, just prepare a bundle of bunch. ”

Although I didn't know what he meant by "restraint", I knew that he had agreed, and I was pleasantly surprised that I kowtowed again and again.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

When I got up from the ground, Mr. Yuan seemed to remember something and asked:

"Boy, you're twenty-three this year, have you ever taken the table?"

I shook my head.

"My father died early, and there were no elders in the family, so there was no writing."

Mr. Yuan pondered for a moment and said:

"Well, let's do it, the old man will give you a word today, which can be regarded as a greeting gift for the gentleman."

I hurriedly fell to my knees again, and said aloud:

"Mr. Thank you, Mr., please give me words."

Mr. Yuan seemed to be quite cautious about this matter, he lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally slowly spoke:

Zi said: The country in the world can be even. Jue Lu, can be resigned. White blade, can also be followed. From now on, you will be called Kejun. ”

"Can be even...... Can be even"

I silently read these two words in my heart, so it seems that my husband's expectations for me are really high......
