In a small inn, Wu Zhi saw the "small seed scripture slightly Xianggong" in the Water Margin. He is in his fifties, with slightly gray hair and beard, but his face is ruddy, his eyes are very sharp, and he has the posture of being old and strong. Wu Zhi praised it first in his heart.

The breeder has guarded the western frontier for generations, and it can be said that there are many famous generals, and the seed master has been familiar with reading military books since childhood, and he has made up for the officials in the shade, and has promoted the officials of Xizhou, Yuanzhou, and Qin Feng Changping. Last year, he was falsely accused of Yuanyou Party membership, and he was idle at home, but how could his temperament endure this comfortable life, and recently Doropa's intention to split the territory has become more and more obvious, and the seed master Dao was worried, and he traveled thousands of miles to the capital, wanting to offer a counterinsurgency strategy for the saint, but he didn't want Zhongshu Province to be completely controlled by Cai Jing now, and the Yuanyou Party was originally something that Cai Jing made out to eliminate dissidents, and how could he let the seed master have a chance to make a comeback. In the past few days, the cultivation master has been given a cold reception everywhere, and most of the former old friends of the Yuanyou Party have been degraded or punished, and there is really no one who can speak for him. The seed master Dao was disheartened and was about to return to his hometown, but he didn't want your king to come to visit in person.

"Mr. Yi, I came recklessly, please don't be surprised!" Wu Zhi said with a smile.

The seed master didn't dare to say anything, seeing that although this noble king was young, he didn't have the impetuous attitude of a young man, and he seemed very calm. The seed master Dao also had a good impression of Wu Zhi in his heart.

Wu Zhi put the teacup on the table and said straightforwardly: "Sir has lived in the northwest for a long time, but I don't know what to do about the rebellion of Doropa?" ”

Seed Master Dao faintly hoped in his heart that the best thing for the king to find himself was for the northwest thing, and when the expectation came true, under the excitement, the white beard trembled slightly, and he was excited, and slowly took out a booklet from his arms, and said: "Your king, please see, this is a peaceful strategy to do next, maybe it can help the king with some small favors!" ”

Wu Zhi was overjoyed, took the booklet and flipped through it, the general content of the Pingqiang policy of the master is that if the army is sent to quell the rebellion, the traitor will inevitably rely on Ba Jin, the dangerous terrain of the hand, and the obstruction of the big river, divide the troops to resist the Wang Division, if you can't quickly break the enemy, the soldiers of the Qingtang Dynasty will arrive one after another, and the nineteenth of Western Xia will also send reinforcements, even if you win, the casualties will be too great. It is better to divide the troops into two, go out of Anxiang in the south and rush forward; The north road out of Jingyu, pounded behind. The traitor will be attacked on his back, and he will be overwhelmed, and he will be broken. Of course, this is the general strategy, and the details will be elaborated later. Although Wu Zhi didn't understand the art of war, he still had some knowledge, and he nodded again and again when he saw it, and if he didn't understand something, he patiently explained. It wasn't until it was getting dark, and Wang Jin next to him lit an oil lamp for the two of them, that Wu Zhi finally made this Pingqiang strategy clear.

Wu Zhi exclaimed: "Mr. Yi is really a genius, tomorrow he will dedicate Mr. Pingqiang's policy to the saint, and today the saint also sighs that there is no one in my Great Song Dynasty, but I don't know that such a good talent is around, haha, Mr. is waiting for my good news." ”

The seed master smiled bitterly and said, "When your king offers this policy, you must not mention the name of the below. Seeing Wu Zhi's puzzled face, he sighed and said: "Although the strategy can be scrutinized, people don't think about it, if the court can use this strategy to break the thief, it will be satisfied......

Wu Zhi suddenly realized that although he didn't know that this "small seed scripture and slight minister" had not arrived by himself, he would have to be abolished for nearly ten years before he would be used again. But such a famous general, now so down, and seeing his disheartened appearance, eighty percent offended Cai Jing. If his name were mentioned in his own proposals, the Privy Council and the temple would certainly encounter great resistance, and even if it was implemented, I am afraid that it would be changed beyond recognition, so as not to fulfill his merits.

Both of them fell into silence, and after a long time, Wu Zhi said slowly: "If Mr. doesn't dislike it, I don't know if I can temporarily settle down in your palace with Wu Zhi, the head of the palace has a vacancy, I'm afraid that I will be wronged Mr." But don't worry, sir, I will not bury me, Mr. has his own time to gallop for me. Wu Zhi thought about it, he couldn't let the seed master go back to the northwest, this is a handsome talent, he happens to be short of this kind of big strategic ability, if he is by his side, he can take over any problems in the future. What's more, when the time is ripe in the future, recommending him to the temple can be said to be the party of the Great Song Dynasty.

The seed master was silent for a long time, shook his head, and said: "Thank you for your love, but if you enter your palace, you are afraid that you will cause endless trouble for your king, how can you be at ease in your next place?" I also ask your lord to forgive me for not being able to obey my orders. ”

When Wu Zhi heard this, he was fully sure that he must have offended Cai Jing, and said with a smile: "Mr. is pedantic, what did Xunzi say?" Where the righteousness is, do not lean into the power ...... "Since becoming a noble queen, Wu Zhi knows that returning to the capital will inevitably face all kinds of matters, the Song Dynasty heavy text, if he seems to be unlearned, it is not good, and he once wanted to seriously study the "Four Books and Five Classics", but often want to sleep after a few glances, no, if you want to drag a sentence, you can't remember, and you can't help but smile embarrassedly.

The seed master didn't laugh, and continued in a low voice: "Where righteousness is, not leaning towards power, ignoring its interests, the whole country and not changing its eyes, and holding righteousness without being resolute, is the courage of a gentleman." "After reading it, I was thoughtful.

Wu Zhi smiled: "Yes, Mr. refuses to go back to the house with me, is it willing that you have to bury the countryside?" In order to avoid disasters and not contribute to the country, but I don't know what kind of courage Mr. is? Could it be just the courage of the fighters? Or does the gentleman think that this king is the courage of a fighter? ”

The master was silent for a while, stood up and hugged his fists and said: "That is, your king insists, how dare you refuse, I will accompany your king to present a gentleman's courage today!" ”

Seeing that he agreed, Wu Zhi laughed and said, "From now on, Zhi will not have to worry about it!" I was so proud that I forgot which line this was, so I shouted it casually. In his heart, he snickered, speaking of which, he is really the courage of a fighter who fights on the street, and the courage of a gentleman who serves the country and the people has nothing to do with himself.

……

Wu Zhi was proud in his heart, hummed a little song back to the backyard, and entered the courtyard gate, only to remember the sad scene of the fourth girl in the morning, his heart was sudden, and the little song stopped humming, and tiptoed to the back bed.

"Hmph, how can the dignified noble king Chitose enter the house like a thief?" You don't have to listen to the sound to know who is speaking.

Wu Zhi coughed dryly, and when he looked back, under the moonlight, beside the willow shade, Qiqiao was looking at himself with a smile.

"Don't cry? I can't imagine that the first chivalrous woman in the south of the Yangtze River, known as the seven-trick hero who punches the Nanshan Tiger and kicks the dragon of the North Sea, will also cry! "Wu Zhi usually fights with her and always falls behind, so he has to take the posture of a good man not fighting with a woman, and today he finally caught her sore feet, of course he will not be polite.

Qiqiao was not angry, gently shaking the willow branch in front of him, looking Wu Zhi up and down with big eyes, Wu Zhi suddenly felt weak, how did he feel like the little white rabbit standing in front of the big bad wolf?

"Brother-in-law, sister, I'm going home, brother-in-law should always have something to say, right?" Qiqiao still has that smiling expression.
