There were people watching on both sides of the sand table, all with thoughtful expressions and different expressions.

Zhou Zheng's Dragon Banner is lonely, although it seems ferocious, it is actually isolated and helpless, and there is a feeling of 'waiting to eat'.

And Lu Xiangsheng's black flag wandered around the periphery, not far or close, but it could counterattack at any time, and the scattered and scattered actually became a kind of encirclement.

Therefore, who has the upper hand in this game and who will win in the end is still between the two.

Lu Xiangguan and the others looked at Zhou Zheng, didn't dare to speak, and even held their breath.

They have all realized that Zhou Zheng actually wanted to go on a northern expedition, and Lu Xiangsheng was resolutely against it.

The intentions of the two are vividly revealed on the sand table.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the sand table and couldn't deduce anymore, raised his head to look at Zhou Zheng, who was silent and still staring at the chessboard, and said: "I know you're anxious, but I think that you are carrying too much, and you can't breathe anymore, you can relax a little, Jianyu is already meat on the chopping board, five years, at most five years, I will help you calm down!" ”

In this case, it is no longer the words of the subordinates, but the advice of old friends for many years.

Lu Xiangguan was shocked, and looked at Lu Xiangsheng with some uneasiness.

He knew that Lu Xiangsheng had always wanted to keep a distance from Zhou Zheng, this idea was not to protect himself, nor was he pretentious, but he didn't want to add unnecessary pressure to Zhou Zheng.

Their Lu family owes Zhou Zheng a lot, and almost all of the lives and futures of Lu Xiangsheng's brothers and others come from Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng was still silent about Lu Xiangsheng's words, and he kept deducing in his heart.

This kind of sand table deduction is just strategy and tactics, and how it is depends on the actual combat results, but Lu Xiangsheng is really right.

He has too much pressure, forcing him to settle Jianyu as soon as possible, so that he can devote himself to the reform of the domestic law, this is one of his heart diseases, even if Jianyu is very weak, he still does not dare to be careless.

If he does not relieve this side trouble, he will always be stuck in his throat, and it will be difficult to calm down.

After a while, Zhou Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "How long do I have to finish Ning?" ”

Lu Xiang looked at the sky outside, hurriedly answered, and said, "Half an hour at most." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I'll take a shower and take a rest, if I arrive early, Jiandou, you will pick it up for me." ”

Lu Xiangsheng responded, looking at Zhou Zheng's back, his heart was a little dignified.

Obviously, he still failed to convince Zhou Zheng.

Lu Xiangguan glanced at Liu Liuzhe, who was still lying on the edge of the sand table, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, Dingguo Gong has made up his mind?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng sighed lightly and said, "He has his considerations, but in terms of height, we are actually a little narrow-minded. ”

Lu Xiangguan nodded heavily, and said in agreement: "Dingguo Gong Station is high, and there must be more consideration than us." However, Dingguo Gong really decided to go on the Northern Expedition, what should we do? ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked outside with a deep frown, not noticing that Zhou Dewei had raised his head, staring at him with burning eyes, and his ears were almost erected.

After a while, Lu Xiangsheng said: "If he decides, we can only do our best to the Northern Expedition, what else can we do." ”

In his heart, Lu Xiangguan didn't support the Northern Expedition very much, but he respected Zhou Zheng very much, since Zhou Zheng was determined to go to the Northern Expedition, there must be a reason why he had no choice, and of course they had to fully support it.

Zhou Dewei heard Lu Xiangsheng's words, bypassed the sand table, came to Lu Xiangsheng, and said, "Lord Lu, can I be a striker?" It's not that kind of striker, it's in the striker. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned, looked at Zhou Dehui, who was excited and wide-eyed, his heart moved slightly, and said, "Tell me, has your second uncle made up his mind to go on the Northern Expedition next year?" ”

Zhou Dewei recalled and said: "No, as far as the last general knows, Jiang Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Gao Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, and my father are all opposed, and the second uncle has not been allowed to speak. ”

Lu Xiangsheng groaned for a while, and suddenly smiled: "If it is the Northern Expedition in the future, your father and your second uncle promised you to stay in Liaodong, and I will let you be the forward." ”

Lu Xiangguan suddenly coughed, and gave Lu Xiangsheng a look.

This is the eldest son of the Zhou family, the Duke of Dingguo has traveled back and forth from the south to the north with experience, and it is clear that he is focusing on training, the Northern Expedition is so dangerous, if something happens to this eldest son, no matter how great the credit is, it can't be worth it!

Zhou Dewei didn't think about this, he knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general will take the order, thank you for the master!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng saw that Zhou Dewei was not arrogant, smiled with satisfaction, got up and walked outside.

Zhou Dewei saw Lu Xiangsheng leaving, pondered in his heart, and suddenly ran to Zhou Zheng's room.

Zhou Zheng was lying in the bathtub with his eyes closed and pondering, when he suddenly felt a towel on his shoulder and rubbed it, and couldn't help but turn his head to look.

I saw Zhou Deyu smile and said, "Second uncle, I'll rub your back." ”

Zhou Zheng sat up with a smile, left his back to him, and said, "It's useless to convince me, you also know your father's temper, and I can't do anything about him if I get tough." ”

Zhou Dewei rubbed Zhou Zheng's shoulders hard and said, "Dad, I'll go and say, second uncle, as long as you promise me to stay in Liaodong, then it's no problem." ”

Zhou Zheng put his hands on his knees and said, "Have you thought of a way?" ”

Zhou Dewei said: "When I go back to Beijing, I will go to Tianjin Wei first, and stay with my grandfather for a few days, as long as my grandfather speaks, my father will definitely not dare to object." ”

Zhou Zheng snorted and laughed twice, and said, "You kid has caught your father's weakness." ”

Zhou Fang is a person who admits death, but he is also quite filial, if Zhou Qingli speaks, Zhou Fang will have no choice.

Zhou Deyu smiled and said, "Second uncle, I want to transfer the boy scouts over, not more, just a hundred people, a day in Liaodong is stronger than a year in the camp." ”

Zhou Zheng already knew this guy's thoughts, and he also intended to hone him, and said: "I can give you a tune, if you kid makes trouble here again, Lu Jiandou will not only not sell my face, but it is estimated that he will have to be punished heavily, you have to think clearly." ”

Zhou Dewei didn't care at all, and said: "Second uncle, don't worry, I won't lose your face, Shenyang City, I will definitely be the first to board it." ”

Zhou Dewei is only fifteen years old, it is impossible to participate in a too harsh battle, listening to the meaning of his words, Zhou Zheng's heart moved slightly, turned his head, and said: "Do you think I won't go on the Northern Expedition next year?" ”

Zhou Dewei didn't seem to hear it, rubbed Zhou Zheng's back vigorously, and said, "Second uncle, do you think I can board it?" I heard that Jianyu is very difficult to fight, and you fought very hard to win, and you lost more than half of your ......."

Zhou Zheng looked at him and said, "Tell the truth." ”

Zhou Dewei saw that Zhou Zheng was serious, so he had to say: "Second uncle, if you make up your mind, the sand table deduction just now will not be like that, and you will definitely win neatly." ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, and then he was surprised.

Although he desperately wanted the Northern Expedition in his heart, he was actually hesitating. He is very aware of the current situation, and the reason why he conducted a sand table deduction with Lu Xiangsheng is actually a kind of concession to persuade himself to give up the Northern Expedition?

Then he frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "You kid is smart. ”

Zhou Dewei rubbed his back vigorously and said, "Anyway, no matter what, I want to be a striker." ”

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go, bring my clothes, and come with me to see Ning Wan later, and then go to Shenyang on my behalf." ”
