Comfortable and comfortable days always fly by.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since I officially joined the Guozijian.

In this month, two major events occurred in the Great Wei Dynasty.

First, the Great Wei suddenly sent an envoy to visit Shu, demanding that Shu return the Longyou counties seized in the previous year, and pay tribute to the Great Wei.

For this almost humiliating request, Shu naturally refused to agree, not only that, but the emperor of Shu was angry and detained the envoys of Great Wei. After receiving this news, His Majesty the Emperor was immediately furious, and immediately issued a decree that troops would not be sent to attack Shu in the future.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that since the peace talks with Qi, Great Wei has intended to raise troops to attack Shu, intending to break the existing pattern today.

This time, in the name of the so-called "reconquest of lost territory", the troops were dispatched just for the sake of being famous.

No, just saying that the word "return" proposed by the Wei envoy is extremely inappropriate.

Although in the past, Shu took advantage of the turbulent situation in Liang to unexpectedly seize the Longyou counties.

But from a legal point of view, the counties of Longyou originally belonged to the Liang State, so what does it have to do with the Great Wei that stood on behalf of Liang? Even if you want to recover the lost territory, it will not be the turn of the Great Wei who "usurped the country below" and "won the country unjustly" to put it forward.

But now, after all, it is a troubled time, and it seems that this kind of forcible seizure has long been commonplace for the people of all countries, and even the Great Wei can be willing to deliberately find a reason to attack Shu, which can be regarded as quite "reasonable" from a certain point of view.

The second thing is that the major case of the assassination of the three princes, which has caused a lot of uproar in the DPRK and China in recent days, has come to an end, and according to the ultimatum issued by the Criminal Department to the inside, this case has been confirmed to be committed by the remnants of the Liang State, and all the rebellious parties involved in the case have been beheaded.

Of course, this is also a situation that can only be known in the Great Wei Dynasty, and the foreign court did not announce the news of the assassination of the third prince, only that the son of a high-ranking official was attacked.

This is not surprising, the assassination of the prince is too shocking after all, if it is widely publicized, it is easy to arouse public opinion, cause panic among the people, and thus shake the country.

For me, compared with the Great Wei Vashu, I obviously have to pay more attention to this certain reverse case.

After all, this matter has a lot to do with me, if it weren't for the fact that I was inadvertently in the game, I would still be serving tea and water in the Qingqi Liquor Store at the moment.

In the past month, there have been different opinions about the various behind-the-scenes secrets of this case, and I have also privately compiled relevant information, but the information from all parties is mixed and disorderly, and I have never been able to further analyze the reason.

As soon as the ultimatum of the Criminal Department came out, it finally gave an explanation to the imperial court, and it also temporarily blocked the mouths of the people.

However, I still have doubts about this result.

First, the timing of the closure of this case is too strange, His Majesty has just issued an order to prepare for the war, and the case has a result on the back foot, you must know that before this, the three law divisions have never released the progress of the relevant case, so it is easy to give people a feeling that the case was hastily closed in order to calm people's hearts.

The second is that it is really difficult to convince the public to attribute the assassination to the rebellious party of the previous dynasty, the Great Wei has been established for more than 30 years, and the pacification policy of the nobles of the previous dynasty has always been very good, and it has rarely heard of the rebellious party in the past, and even if there is, it is just a burning and looting of the people, and it can't set off any big storms.

I have also discussed my doubts with Mr. Yuan, but his old man does not seem to think that there is anything strange, only that the emperor's heart is like an abyss, and His Majesty has his own arrangements, so I should not speculate.

Of course, with the class I am in now, these two things are too far away, so I don't bother to continue to put my mind on it, so I simply ignore what is going on outside the window, and continue to hide in the Guozijian to live a quiet life.

———————————————————————————————————————

Teaching assistants, as the lowest official position in the Guozi Prison, their responsibilities are nothing more than trivial things such as assisting the lecturers in preparing lesson plans and managing the enrollment of students, but because there are many students in the Guozi Prison, the work is not unburdensome.

At first, I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to cope with it, but Mr. Yuan didn't seem to want me to participate in my schoolwork, and he just asked me to sort out my collection of books except for chatting with me about state affairs all day.

As a result, I have been doing nothing these days, and most of the time I am either wandering around the courtyard or hiding in the library to read books to relieve my boredom.

On this day, I stayed in the library as usual and looked through the military books, thinking that I would find an opportunity to sneak out in the afternoon and go back to the Qingqi Restaurant to catch up with Steward Wang, but Mr. Yuan suddenly sent someone to call me to the study, saying that someone specially wanted to meet me, Mr. Yuan's "proud protégé".

When I came to Mr. Yuan's study, I saw that Mr. Yuan was playing against a sturdy old man, and when he saw me coming, he just smiled slightly, and turned his attention back to the black and white chessboard in front of him.

I didn't dare to disturb them, so I stood aside and watched the battle in silence.

Although I don't know much about the way of Go, I can't tell the situation of the two of them from the trend of the chess pieces, but just looking at the dignified expression of the burly old man, I know that my husband has the upper hand.

After a while, the situation gradually became clearer, and with the fall of the gentleman, a black dragon of the burly old man was trapped on the spot by Bai Zi in an instant, and he could not escape from the left and right.

The two sides played a few more times, and finally, the burly old man sighed after a long test, and gently threw the sunspot in his hand, which was regarded as a thrower who admitted defeat.

The old man stared at the scattered chessboard for a long time, and then said with a rather resentful voice:

"Yuan Ruo, I remember that when we were young, our chess strength was among the best, why are you still growing in chess when you are old? It's weird, it's weird. ”

Mr. Yuan squinted and smiled, beckoned to me, and said:

"Haha, accept and concede, but Jun, I've come to see Lord Zhou."

Hearing that Mr. called this old man "Lord Zhou", my heart suddenly moved, and I hurriedly walked closer and saluted:

"The junior has seen Lord Squire!"

The old man was a little surprised to hear me call him by his official title, and he wondered:

"Oh? Have you ever seen an old man? ”

When I heard him say this, my guess became a little clearer, and I smiled and shook my head:

"I've never had the pleasure of meeting adults."

"Haha, there are many officials surnamed Zhou in the Great Wei Dynasty, and there are a few who are the same age as the old man, and you kid is not afraid of calling the wrong person?"

When I saw that the opportunity to make a sycophant had come, I replied with a smile:

"The adult is dignified and sits like a tiger, so the younger generation guesses that the adult is from the army. If you can meet all kinds of conditions, the younger generation only wants to get the prestigious General Zhou, the squire of the military department. ”

Lord Zhou laughed when he heard this, turned to Mr. Yuan and said:

"Hahaha, Yuan Ruo, you student does have some meaning. Have a seat. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

When I sat down, I saw that Master Zhou suddenly looked right, looked me up and down, and then slowly said:

"The strategy you wrote about cutting Shu before, Yuan Ruo showed it to the old man, well, you can have such insight as a young man in a humble alley, it is indeed extraordinary. The old man will come today, and he is also thinking that he will meet you for a while. ”

"The boss praises falsely, the younger generation has just read a few military books, and he can't say what kind of knowledge he has."

Master Zhou waved his hand and continued:

"You don't have to be humble, since you are Yuan Ruo's student, the old man might as well speak up. I will send troops to attack Shu in a few days, you should already know about this, but at present, there are still quite a lot of differences in the army on the route of cutting Shu, and some people even proposed to send troops to Long to turn right and go straight to Hanzhong, and hit Shu by surprise. What are your thoughts on this? ”

As soon as these words came out, I suddenly felt a little strange in my heart, and said why did adults not treat me as an outsider this week? When will it be the turn of me, the assistant teacher of the small national superintendent, to make irresponsible remarks? But after thinking about it, this is also an opportunity to perform, after all, I have been eating and drinking in the Guozi Prison these days, and I really feel a little sorry for Mr. If I can take this opportunity to give my husband a long face, it will be regarded as his old man who has not raised me as an idler in vain.

So I thought for a moment, and then said categorically:

"Uh...... In my humble opinion, this plan is certainly unexpected, but with today's pattern, if I want to finish the battle and go directly to Shu, I am afraid it will be a little difficult. ”

"Oh? Why? My Great Wei soldiers are full of fine food, and the military strength is several times that of Shu, if Hanzhong succeeds, the door of Shu is open, how can not directly take Shuzhong? ”

I straightened my sitting posture and said:

"My lord, the ancients Zeng Yun: Nanzheng is very heavenly, and it is difficult for Shu Dao to go to the sky. It is true that the army of Shu is far inferior to that of our Great Wei, and the soldiers have been sparse for a long time, but after all, the Zhao family has been operating Shu for many years and has won the hearts of the people. Even if our army captures Hanzhong by surprise, it will be difficult to go further for a while. If we let the Shu army still control Longyou, then the Shu army will send troops to attack, and our army will have to be trapped in the lonely city of Hanzhong, even if my Great Wei soldiers can really take one enemy and ten, and hold on to the city, it will also turn the battle into a war of attrition. As time goes by, it is difficult to guarantee that the Southern Tang and Northern Qi will not take the opportunity to make any moves, and when the time comes, our Great Wei elite soldiers will be stuck in the quagmire and will not be able to withdraw, and the situation will only become more dangerous. ”

Master Zhou smiled when he heard this, and then asked:

"Well, that's right, if you're the commander-in-chief, how do you enter the army?"

I bowed my head and muttered for a moment, then replied again:

"My lord, and today the four kingdoms stand side by side, checking and balancing each other, and my Great Wei is located in the Central Plains, and I am under the enemy. If you want to send troops, you must strive for a quick victory, otherwise you will be involved in the whole body!

Therefore, as long as we aim to recapture Longyou, rather than rushing into Shu, then we will not think of any extraneous branches.

You know, the terrain of the counties of Longyou is flat, very suitable for the cavalry to move forward, although Shu has also formed several cavalry armies in Longyou, but the Shu generals are better at foot combat after all, how can their cavalry compare to my Great Wei Hussar? I dare to assert that if the troops are used properly, my Great Wei will be able to recover Longyou in a few months! Thus the only way for the completely cut off Shu State to get out of Shu, so that Shu State can only be in a corner again. Next, I only need to run Longyou in Dawei Haosheng and retransform it into an outpost into Shu, and if it takes time, it will be just a turtle in an urn to capture Shu. ”

After hearing this, General Zhou repeatedly said yes and praised:

"Okay, well, really thoughtful."

After that, he turned to Mr. Yuan and smiled:

"Yuan Ruo, you said that you are a scholar, why did you accept a disciple who knows the art of war, can you teach it well? Don't be violent. ”

Mr. Yuan chuckled lightly and said noncommittally:

"There is a popular saying among the people, called a hundred passes, according to the old man's view of learning, but also pay attention to a touch bypass, who said that there are no millions of male soldiers in the book? Don't think about snatching love with a sword. ”

Master Zhou waved his hand again and again, and continued to smile:

"No, no, it's rare that you're willing to take a student, how can the old man be so unkind, but you should let him go out and break through, don't take it with you like a baby all day long, and no one will steal it." Boy, this time I am a big Wei Fashu, if nothing happens, the old man will personally take charge, I think you don't want to stay here and follow this sour and rotten literati to do learning, why don't you go to the old man's account to be a military aircraft counselor, how about it? ”

As soon as these words came out, I subconsciously looked at Mr. Yuan and wanted to ask for his opinion, but Mr. Yuan looked like he had nothing to do with himself, just silently looked at the chessboard in front of him and smiled silently......
