"Where is it useless?"

Zhao Hongrun looked at Sima An in astonishment, he didn't expect him to say so much, but Sima An came to this kind of inexplicable conclusion.

As if he had guessed the astonishment in Zhao Hongrun's heart, Sima An exhaled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "So-and-so...... In this life, it is impossible to trust a foreigner. ”

Zhao Hongrun frowned when he heard this, and was about to speak, but saw Sima An continue: "Having said that, but the words of His Royal Highness King Su just made him speechless. ”

As he spoke, he took out something from his arms and handed it to Zhao Hongrun.

Zhao Hongrun took it and took a look, only to find that this thing was actually a complete tiger talisman, engraved with the word "Dangshan".

"He'...... What does this mean?'

Zhao Hongrun looked at Sima An in disbelief.

As if he had guessed the consternation in Zhao Hongrun's heart, Sima An said in a deep voice: "Yin Rong of Sanchuan, I learned some inside information in the military department before going on the expedition. In a certain opinion, the 20,000 merchant and naval troops under the command of His Royal Highness King Su are veterans who have been on the battlefield, but they are not permanent generals. …… And also a rabble whose loyalty is difficult to guarantee. After that, he paused and said in a deep voice: "Dangshan Army, leave it to Your Highness." When he came, he had already instructed Wen Xu and Bai Fangming that if His Highness held this tiger talisman, he could drive the Dangshan army. ”

"Leave the Dangshan Army to me?"

Zhao Hongrun looked at Sima An in astonishment, some didn't turn around, and asked in amazement: "The general left the Dangshan Army to this king, where will the general go?" ”

"Back to the girder." Sima An glanced at Zhao Hongrun with a natural expression, and immediately hugged his fists, as if he wanted to turn around and leave.

See here. Zhao Hongrun hurriedly shouted: "General, slow down!" ”

Sima An stopped, frowned a little and looked back at Zhao Hongrun.

"The general plans to leave the Dangshan army to this king and return to Daliang alone?" Zhao Hongrun couldn't understand: "Since General Fang Cai agrees with this king's remarks, why is he unwilling to assist this king?" ”

Sima An was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I just said that His Highness's words are indeed reasonable. But this does not mean that a certain heart agrees with the proposition of His Royal Highness King Su. …… A certain is the Zongwei who used to be by His Majesty's side, and His Royal Highness King Su is the son of His Majesty, so he thinks that the Dangshan Army should be left behind. …… If you were someone else, you would have been taken down by someone else. ”

After saying that, he smiled faintly, as if full of all kinds of deep meanings, and he was there. He left without looking back.

"......" Looking at Sima An's back as he gradually walked away, Zhao Hongrun wanted to speak several times and stopped, and finally sighed silently.

"Failed......

Harnessing Sima An, the homework assigned to him by his father, failed.

Sima An is indeed convinced, but it is not a heartfelt convincing, but a compromise that has no choice, the root cause. It is nothing more than Zhao Hongrun is the son of Wei Tianzi, and he Sima An is the former Zongwei of Wei Tianzi. Therefore, Sima An could not really be an enemy of him Zhao Hongrun no matter what.

Therefore, Sima An had no choice but to compromise.

But this kind of compromise is not what Zhao Hongrun wants, and it is not in line with Wei Tianzi's original intention of assigning him homework and letting him control Sima An.

Generally. It's a complete failure.

“……”

Looking at the tiger talisman of the Dangshan Army in his hand, Zhao Hongrun was silent.

Although he said that he should be happy to get an elite army like the Dangshan Army, but I don't know why. He faintly had an illusion in his heart: Is the Dangshan Army, which has lost the command of the great general Sima An, still a complete Dangshan Army?

Just as Zhao Hongrun sighed, a mocking voice sounded behind him.

"Yo, look at it like this, is the talk falling apart?"

Zhao Hongrun turned his head, only to find that there was a general standing behind him who was gnawing on a leg of mutton, judging from the armor on the other party, it should be the general of the Dangshan Army, and his appearance seemed to be a little familiar.

"Bai Fangming?" After recalling carefully, Zhao Hongrun remembered the general of the Dangshan Army who he had seen when he was swearing.

"Huh?" Bai Fangming was stunned, as if he was a little surprised that Zhao Hongrun actually knew his name, and after licking the meat oil on his fingers, he said with a smile: "It's the last general." After that, he handed the roast leg of lamb in his hand to Zhao Hongrun and asked, "Does Your Highness want to have some?" ”

Because it was quite close to the ground, Zhao Hongrun vaguely saw that there were several tooth marks on the roast leg of mutton, and immediately thanked him.

"That's a pity, it's obviously delicious."

Bai Fangming shook his head, as if he felt sorry for Zhao Hongrun's refusal of the food in his hand.

Immediately, he asked seemingly nonchalantly, "I wonder what His Royal Highness King Su will do with my family's general?" ”

Zhao Hongrun frowned, and said lightly: "How can this king have the right to dispose of General Sima?" The only one who can deal with it is the father. ”

"Don't." As if noticing the displeasure on Zhao Hongrun's face, Bai Fangming hurriedly explained: "Your Highness has misunderstood, the last general has no other meaning in what he said, the last general just wants to know whether His Highness is willing to let the general continue to serve in the military position, or whether he wants to leave him idle." After that, he whispered as if pleading: "The general is a talented man who leads the army to fight, and now he is in the prime of life, if he is idle, it will be a great pity for my Great Wei." ”

"It turned out to be a plea......

Zhao Hongrun was relieved when he heard this, and his face suddenly looked much better.

However, he thought about Bai Fangming's question for a while.

During this period, he looked at the tiger talisman in his hand from time to time.

In all fairness, Zhao Hongrun has no doubt about Sima An's loyalty to the Wei State and the Emperor of Wei, and the only problem is Sima An's murderous attitude towards foreigners.

Such a leading general, to be honest, does not fit the general candidate in a certain grand concept.

But......

"Don't worry, General Sima An, he will still be the general of the Dangshan Army in the future." Zhao Hongrun said in a deep voice after thinking deeply.

Hearing this, Bai Fangming was relieved, but also felt a little puzzled: "Your Highness...... Still hope that the general will continue in his old position? It is important to know that the general's proposition is contrary to His Highness's proposition. Your Highness can't be coaxing the last general, right? ”

"Huh." Zhao Hongrun smiled faintly.

To be honest, he didn't coax Bai Fangming, he was indeed inclined to Sima An to continue to serve as the general of the Dangshan Army.

The reason is simple. This is the same reason that Zhao Hongrun remembered a certain era of peace, but some countries were still committed to the study of nuclear bombs. In fact, no country dares to drop a nuclear bomb, it is just a decoration, and it will consume a huge amount of maintenance costs every year.

But even so, the big powers in Zhao Hongrun's memory are still tightly holding on to this strategic strike weapon, and the reason for this is to deter other countries.

Plainly. The strategic importance of the nuclear bomb has outweighed its value as a strike weapon.

And Sima An is no different.

After all, in this world, there are always some people who can't make sense, such as the patriarch of the Horn tribe, Bitatu.

At this time, Sima An's value was reflected, and his brutal slaughter could definitely play the effect of "killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys", and contributed to the gradual strengthening of Wei from another angle.

"This king will do what he says!" Zhao Hongrun said with a serious face.

Bai Fangming glanced at Zhao Hongrun deeply a few times and nodded. Immediately, he sat on the ground with a big thorn, gnawed on the mutton in his hand, and asked seemingly casually: "Speaking of His Royal Highness King Su, do you know who the general is?" ”

Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, and then realized that Bai Fangming was probably going to reveal something to him, so he also sat down, shook his head and said, "This king really doesn't know. ”

"Heaven's Gate. The general was born in a military family in Tianmen Pass, Shangdang County. His ancestor was the keeper of the Gate of Heaven, and his father and uncles. They are all generals on duty at Tianmen Pass......"

"Huh!"

Zhao Hongrun secretly exclaimed, he really didn't expect that the general Sima An turned out to be behind the border gate.

"Wait...... Heavenly Gate?'

Stunned, Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked, "Tianmen Pass?" Is it the Tianmen Pass that was taken away by South Korea? ”

"Hmm." Bai Fangming nodded and continued: "As far as the last general knows. At that time, South Korea tried several times to attack the party, but they were all blocked from the two passes of "Tianmen" and "Mengmen". At that time, outside the Tianmen Pass, there were also foreigners who, as His Highness said, lived like those Qiang people and Shan people outside Chenggao Pass, who were friendly to our Great Wei. To be precise, it is the Hu and Qi ethnic groups. …… At that time, the general's grandfather, father, and uncle's attitude towards those people was similar to that of His Royal Highness and General Zhuhai, believing that those people could be trusted and could help our Great Wei defend against the Koreans. …… However, there was a group of people called "Duanshi" and Hu people called "Gao Wolf Tribe", they betrayed the trust of the Tianmen soldiers in them, and under the pretext of being friendly to the Tianmen Pass soldiers, they blocked the passage in the pass with carts full of goods, seized the gate of the pass, and let the Korean cavalry enter the pass, resulting in the loss of the Tianmen Pass......"

"How did Tianmen Pass turn out to be lost?"

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little stunned, after all, he only knew that Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass were once the passes built by their Wei State to resist Korea, but they were later lost and taken by Korea, but he didn't know exactly how they were lost, and now when he heard Bai Fangming say this, he suddenly realized.

“…… Tianmen Pass was lost, the men in the general's family were all killed in battle, only his father was lucky to get out of the encirclement, and rushed to Mengmen Pass to report the news, but unfortunately, he was one step late, and the Korean cavalry attacked Mengmen Pass after capturing Tianmen Pass, and killed the defenders of Mengmen Pass by surprise, resulting in a few days, Tianmen Pass and Mengmen Pass, the two passes, the two northern barriers of my Great Wei, changed hands to the Koreans. After learning of this, the general's father was ashamed to ......kill himself, "Saying this, Bai Fangming snorted coldly twice, and said lightly: "What the general hates is that the 'Duan Clan' of the Yi people and the 'Gao Wolf' of the Hu people are said to have been taken care of by the soldiers of Tianmen Pass many times. …… Therefore, the general has repeatedly warned the last general and others that there are some people in this world who are immature wolves, no matter how good you are to him, when there are benefits to be gained, he will not hesitate to betray and eat his master. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun was silent for a moment when he heard this.

He didn't doubt the authenticity of this matter, after all, there were all kinds of people in the world, and besides, Bai Fangming didn't seem to be a person who would talk about it.

"Now His Royal Highness King Su should understand why the general has no trust in outsiders, right?"

With a long breath, Bai Fangming turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun.

"If His Royal Highness King Su wants to reverse the general's implementation of the proposition of more than 30 years at once, the last general can only say, Your Highness, you are too anxious and have touched the wrong door."

『……』

Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, and a few hints of different color flashed in his eyes.

It seems to have understood. (To be continued.) )
