"Never!!" Wang Kui stood up angrily, because the castration was too urgent, the big foot board turned the mat aside, and his face and facial features were distorted into a ball due to anxiety: "The son of a daughter can't sit down, that Beiyu is barbaric and unreasonable, and kills people without blinking, you and my brother, how can you put yourself in danger!" ”

Changsun Hong sat still, blinking and looking up at him, as if smiling.

In the depths of his heart, Changsun Hong was very pleased with Wang Kui's reaction, and it can be seen that Wang Kui's actions were born from the heart, and he was anxious for Changsun Hong from the bottom of his heart, not pretending.

Between the two, there is no hypocrisy of plastic official affection, and the friendship fought from the battlefield is deep-rooted, although Wang Kui is aware of the small calculations in Changsun Hong's heart, but it does not affect his feelings for the brothers of Changsun Hong in the slightest.

Being an official is to be loyal to the country, and being a brother is to be responsible for righteousness, two different things.

However, if loyalty and righteousness cannot be both, how to choose, Wang Kui has not yet thought about it.

So at this moment, Changsun Hong sat on the mat, picked up Wang Kui's cup and poured it full of wine, handed it to him with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, brother sit down, let me elaborate." ”

Wang Kui jumped to his feet and said, "There's nothing to say!" It can't be done! ”

The guard at the door heard the sound inside, and the probes from the left and right came in to look, and realized that it was the Lord who was furious inside, looked at each other, and then retracted his head in an instant.

Wang Kui didn't listen, but Changsun Hong was not annoyed, he still hung the cup in the air, and said slowly: "Brother think about it, we can drag the army of the Northern Captives in western Sichuan, win some heads, and win a battle, what do we rely on?" ”

Wang Kui was angry, and was suddenly asked this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Why do you mention this?" We're talking about you're going north! ”

Changsun Hong shook his head: "This question is the key to deciding whether I go north or not, you answer me." ”

After a pause, he said, "If this question can be answered perfectly, I can not go north." ”

"Oh?" Wang Kui was stunned again, hesitated, his flushed face faded slightly, his tall body stood for a second, and then sat on the ground with his buttocks, and took the wine glass from Changsun Hong's hand, because the mat was far away from him, he sat on the blue brick floor.

"Of course, it is the intentions of the three armies and the soldiers who sacrifice their lives and forget about death." He thought for a moment, and said while drinking: "To be deeper, you and I command properly, and we can also mention it." ”

He said this according to the excerpt handed to the imperial court, which was written by him himself, and the flowers were splendid and the writing was brilliant.

Changsun Hong shook his head: "This is for those court bigwigs and ministers, not true." ”

"Under you and me, although there are some soldiers who can fight and dare to fight, but other generals don't have them? Big brother, please tell me truthfully. ”

"This ......" Wang Kui's face turned slightly red, he groaned, and sighed: "You and I both know that the battle can be defeated, and we only rely on geography!" ”

Changsun Hong looked at him, his eyes blazing, and motioned for him to continue.

"The northern captives are fierce, sweeping the desert invincible, and even the Jin country, which claims to be invincible in iron cavalry, has been wiped out, which shows how powerful their cavalry is." Wang Kui's tone was lower, obviously when it came to the cavalry, he had no confidence: "The cavalry comes and goes like the wind, galloping hundreds of miles in a day, our Great Song Dynasty soldiers are mostly foot soldiers, how can two legs run more than four legs?" There is no other way but to rest on your laurels. ”

"The way of war is nothing more than attacking and defending, those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens, and those who are good at defending are hiding under the nine earths."

"The north is like the wind, even if it doesn't live above the nine heavens, it's not much worse."

"We have no horses, no vertical and horizontal army, we can't attack it, of course, I'm not saying that the Shimen Fan barbarians are not as good as the northern captives, but it's just for the horse army and foot soldiers."

Wang Kui glanced at Changsun Hong, who bowed slightly, indicating that he was right.

So Wang Kui continued: "Since there is no way to attack, we can only defend, Xichuan is mountainous, and the second brother and I were able to win a miserable victory, relying on the landform of the Sichuan Gorge." The mountain is like a dam, when the turbulent torrent, the north into the river, in the mountains like a dragon into the mud pond, even if there is the ability to reach the sky, you can only stick to a body of mud, you and my brother add officials into the knight, it is dependent on the mountains and thick barriers. ”

As he spoke, he slammed his glass on the table.

The sound of Changsun Hong's knots sounded at the same time: "What my brother said is extremely true!" ”

This time, Changsun Hong stood up and walked back and forth in the room.

"Beiyu was born in the desert, grew up in the grassland, lived in pursuit of water and grass, wandered all his life, and his ability to ride a horse was unrivaled, and their men were warriors from the age when they could stand up, and horses were more precious to them than their wives and children, and such a nation, once they went to war in an open place, unless there were stronger cavalry troops than them, it was a dead end."

He stopped, looked at Wang Kui and said, "Has my brother heard of the fable of contradictions?" ”

Wang Kui was stunned and shook his head.

The eldest grandson patted his head, and then told him this story in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Then he asked, "What is it like?" ”

Wang Kui's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Like a spear!" ”

He was an extremely intelligent person, and immediately added: "You mean that we want to train an elite army like a shield to resist the spear-like northern captives?!" ”

"Nope! The North Captives are sharp, like spears, of course, but offense is the best defense, so they are also shields, they are the sharpest spears, and the strongest shields! The eldest grandson said.

Wang Kui blinked, obviously unable to keep up with Changsun Hong's train of thought.

"There is a shortage of horses in the south, and the horses produced are also pack horses with short limbs and are not good at sprinting, compared with the horses in the north, there is a big gap, and such a horse will become an army, and it will be a few grades lower than him." Changsun Hong walked to the door and looked far away: "We have to train our troops, but relying on training alone will not be able to withstand the united and unified Beiyu." ”

"What do you mean by ...... second brother?" Wang Kui couldn't help but stand up, as if he felt that he had grasped a clue.

"With the spear of the other, the shield of the other!" The eldest grandson Hong turned around abruptly, his eyes were shining, and his body was like a rock and his face was like a jade: "I want to divide them, let them kill each other like before Genghis Khan unified the desert!" Only in this way can we solve the scourge of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Speaking of which, Wang Kui finally understood what the purpose of Changsun Hong's determination to go north was.

He opened his mouth and wanted to express some objections, but in vain he realized that there seemed to be no reason.

Yes, just by training the troops, you can resist the northern captives?

The imperial court has been training soldiers for decades, and has used troops countless times in the north, southwest, and northwest, and the war has almost run through the Great Song Dynasty, and there has never been a situation where soldiers have not been used for ten consecutive years.

But as a result, war is not war, and it is not peaceful, and it is not up or down.

Changsun Hong's voice sounded in his ears again, and his pitch was not high but it was like thunder on the ground: "Beiyu is as strong as Si, but it is a superficial phenomenon, and when an opponent is the strongest, it is when it is the weakest. When the territory is large, the territory must be divided; If the family foundation is thick, the property must be divided. The slightest partiality in the middle will sow the seeds of countless troubles. ”

"There is another tribe in the north, the Kuritai Assembly, which has more power than the Great Khan, and can decide who will be the next Great Khan, this is the bane!"

Changsun Hong retracted his gaze looking into the distance, turned around slowly, and walked back step by step: "Brother, think about it, if every nobleman in Mongolia has a little Jiujiu in his heart, and he wants to draw a knife to cut the fattest piece of meat on the body of Great Mongolia, then, can they still be as powerful as they are now?" ”

Without waiting for Wang Kui to answer, he waved his hand and said, "No!" Every son of the Great Khan wants to be the next Great Khan, every nobleman wants to be the most powerful person under the Great Khan, each of them has soldiers, every tribe is a prince, and no one can stop it! ”

"Ogedai is dead, they are actually in chaos, and the reason why they are not fighting now is just that they lack a fire."

"This fire, are we stupidly watching here, hoping that the world will split it, or do we do it ourselves?"

"Of course I'll put it myself!" Wang Kui blurted out.

Changsun Hong high-fived again: "Okay! I'm going to set this fire! ”

Wang Kui stared, vaguely feeling as if he had fallen into the trap, and when he looked back, he didn't know when he got into the trap.

It's so distressing, it's really bad to feel that your IQ is lower than others.

He lowered his head and thought for a while before he looked up and said, "I set the fire, what happens next?" After their internal strife, their forces are regrouped, often more powerful and more urgent to expand on all sides. ”

Changsun Hong sat down, looked at Wang Kui with appreciation, and gave a thumbs up: "Brother can see far away and can see this step." ”

Wang Kui touched the back of his head with some embarrassment, and said self-deprecatingly: "Isn't this thinking along with what you said." ”

He looked up suddenly: "Could it be that you already have a trail?" ”

"Of course." Changsun Hong's thin face was flushed with coldness, and when the corners of his mouth smiled, the muscles on his face were tugging, and he didn't smile, making him look very cunning: "The point of this strategy is to make the northern captives chaotic and orderly, chaotic and protracted, divided, balanced and restrained by each other, you can't eat me, I can't eat you, live in infighting, hate each other, and don't share the sky!" ”

He placed the plates of peanuts on the table one by one as appetizers, formed a circle, and in the middle, placed a wine glass, and tapped the wine glass with chopsticks.

"Da Song is this cup, no matter how many peanuts there are, they are only so small, it doesn't help."

He smiled and said, "Peanuts can't eat the cup." ”
