Attack or hold on, this is really a difficult choice for the little fat man who only stayed in the military books and historical records for the concept of war in the past, and at most added storytelling and drama. And what made him most frustrated was that Yue Qianqiu avoided suspicion and refused to come up with ideas, and even when Zhou Jiyue came back after dinner that night, when he quietly inquired, all he got was shaking his head.

Originally, because Yue Qianqiu said that he would leave in the future, the little fat man who was full of confusion suddenly became even more disappointed: "Could it be that I have to send Sister Zhou another copy of the prince's salary, so that you are willing to give me ideas?" ”

Knowing that the little fat man was angry, Zhou Jiyue could only say sincerely: "I'm good, Qianqiu, and others, although they are all martial artists, but we only learned a little bit of the simplest common sense of arranging troops in the Wuying Pavilion, and we can't talk about the battle situation and fighters." Moreover, the Crown Prince's Guard Mansion is only responsible for protecting the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and does not include advice. ”

Seeing that the little fat man suddenly lay on the desk, she hesitated for a moment, and finally put forward a suggestion that was not a suggestion: "His Royal Highness the Prince, General Liu must have immediately reported this matter to Jinling, but he is him, you are you, please report this matter to the emperor as soon as possible." As for the doubts and decisions in your mind, you may as well write them together. Even if you don't have time to wait for the instructions of the imperial court, at least it is your attitude. As for the rest...... Sorry, I really can't do it. ”

The little fat man suddenly realized that this was the same as Yue Qianqiu saying before, allowing himself to write a letter to his father to be coquettish. Seeing that Zhou Jiyue's face was full of apologies that he couldn't help, he jumped up, looked at the person deeply, and saw that the other party was busy avoiding and returning the courtesy, so he stepped forward and helped the person up, with a sincere expression on his face.

"Sister Zhou, thank you! You go outside and help me look at it for a while, and I'll write a letter, and I'll send it as soon as I'm done!" ”

"Good!"

Seeing that Zhou Jiyue agreed, and then turned around and went out without hesitation, the little fat man took a deep breath, and muttered in his heart that Sister Zhou will definitely give you the decision about you and Yue Qianqiu in the future, and then rolled up his sleeves and polished the ink himself, then spread out the large notepaper, pressed it with a paperweight, and made a draft on the paper after a little thought.

As the only prince who grew up beside the emperor and was personally enlightened by the emperor, the little fat man's literature and science are not coarse, and the words are also written well, but he lacks a little muscle. After explaining the whole story, he pondered for a while, and finally put his heart on the side and wrote down his superficial opinion on paper.

"Although the attack can grasp the initiative, but the risk is also great, and the troops of Bazhou are insufficient, and the rest of northern Xinjiang has not yet reached an agreement, and the lone army is deep and easy to ambush. And the three cities of Beiyan Nanjing Road claimed that they would not obey the thief, whether it was sincere or a trap was still unknown, and the retainers were unwilling to gamble with the lives of the soldiers. ”

Writing this, the little fat man thinks that he has explained his mind clearly, but thinking about it, he is likely to be said that he is timid and cowardly to delay the fighter, he can't help but hesitate again, and finally unconsciously dip the pen in ink, but because he didn't put down the pen for a long time, his hand shook, and the ink fell on the paper. When he panicked and wanted to wipe it, he realized that this was not a word practice, just a draft.

"It's really hard for the prince to be a ......" The little fat man hung the pen back on the pen stand, and after chanting a sentence angrily, he lay down again, and then fell asleep unconsciously. I don't know how long it was, but he heard what seemed to be a voice in his ear.

"Qianqiu, you really don't want to go in and come up with an idea?"

"Aren't you silent yourself? If it weren't for the fact that you claimed to have the Holy Decree of the Northern Yan Emperor, Ying Xiaopang wouldn't have gone on this trip to Bazhou, right? It's good for you to leave this matter behind you and wander around, but now you blame me for not giving Ying Xiaopang ideas? Beiyan Gu'an, Yongqing, Anci, I don't know what's going on in these three places, how to make a decision? ”

"Oh, if I do, you'll believe me?"

"Hmph, you don't talk cold! In fact, even whether the six princes of Northern Yan really sat on the throne, whether they really drove the expedition in person, and whether the six princes who stayed behind in Nanjing really supported the six princes, these news have not been confirmed. Unless the master or the old ......" Yue Qianqiu on the roof suddenly cut off the conversation, and then secretly woke up to himself and almost jumped out the word "daddy".

Xiao Jingxian seemed to be unaware: "Unless your master confirms that these news are true, will you give the prince an idea?" ”

"If it proves to be true, Ying Xiaopang will have an idea by himself, and he doesn't need me!" Yue Qianqiu glanced at Xiao Jingxian while saying, "Are you doing it on purpose, are you talking here, Ying Xiaopang will hear it unless she sleeps to death!" ”

Xiao Jingxian did not answer Yue Qianqiu's question directly, but said lightly: "If it were me, I wouldn't attack rashly." The six seals of the Northern Yan Son of Heaven are in Bazhou, in the hands of the Prince of Great Wu, which is originally easy to stimulate Beiyan to re-enmity with the enemy up and down, and pinch it into a rope, once the Bazhou army attacks, no matter whether it wins or loses, it will accelerate this process. ”

"On the contrary, when the Northern Yan soldiers and horses come over, it will be different, they are not aligned, and they may not be able to help Bazhou. Of course, in such a matter as a war, it does not matter whether there is moral superiority or not, but what matters is the superiority of the overall situation. I only know that Da Wu did not intend to use troops casually, otherwise, when we went all the way north, those important military towns and prefectures on the road would have already been mobilized. ”

Yue Qianqiu frowned, and said angrily: "You have something to say, right?" What exactly are you trying to say? ”

"Didn't Ji Yue tell you?" Xiao Jingxian snorted with a smile, and seeing that Yue Qianqiu's face was even more frosty, he said lightly, "I mean, Liu Jingxuan has been a leading general for many years, and he can't even grasp this point of advance and retreat, and suddenly insists on attacking?" Did he go crazy for credit, or did he have something else to do? ”

The little fat man in the room had heard Zhou Jiyue say that Xiao Jingxian alluded to Liu Jingxuan's problem, although he took it to heart, he did not change his attitude towards Liu Jingxuan because of this. In the end, he was educated by the emperor with orthodox education since he was a child, even if his personality is a little crooked, but even if he is suspicious of the minister, he can't put it on his face, and he still learned it very successfully.

What's more, he is now in Bazhou, and he is said to be Dawu's territory, but strictly speaking, it is Liu Jingxuan's one-third of an acre, and Liu Jingxuan is Yue Qianqiu's uncle, so he will not show anything strange casually.

However, at this time, Xiao Jingxian once again said in front of Yue Qianqiu that Liu Jingxuan had other plans, thinking that Liu Jingxuan urged him to give the order to attack as soon as possible, he who was originally lying on his stomach unconsciously raised his body, and his heart was extremely flustered.

Soon, he heard Yue Qianqiu's voice: "How do you know that General Liu is going to attack?" When General Liu came over just now, Zhu Hanqing personally led people to watch the door, and not even a fly flew in around, are you a tailwind? ”

"I guessed. Bazhou has a strong city with high walls and a lot of food hoarding, even if Beiyan comes to attack on a large scale, it can last for a year and a half, and the reinforcements will already come by then. But how can the merit of defending the city compare to capturing the flag? And how can it be compared to conquering a city? What's more, if Liu Jingxuan has other plans, then it is the best excuse to attack Beiyan and expand the territory. ”

Yue Qianqiu originally wanted to ask Xiao Jingxian, if Liu Jingxuan had a problem, then how could Zhu Hanqing, as the biological son of the general Zhu Xiaobei, support the attack, but Xiao Jingxian clearly pointed out that the first place in attacking the city and the land was the first, so some soldiers including Zhu Hanqing would definitely rejoice because of this, and he knew that such a refutation was not enough to justify it.

Thinking that Xiao Jingxian had just said that he had mentioned this matter to Zhou Jiyue before, and thinking of Zhou Jiyue's recent strange reaction, he was at least suspicious of Liu Jingxuan's statement, Yue Qianqiu's heart couldn't help but sink, and after a while, he pretended to be calm and looked sideways at Xiao Jingxian, and asked word by word: "Actually, I don't think it's appropriate for the army to attack, so I actually have an idea in my heart." ”

He stared at Xiao Jingxian with his eyes fixed on him, and grinned: "Since His Royal Highness the King of Jin said that he had the holy decree of the Northern Yan Emperor, he previously claimed that he would order the military Qin King of Southern Xinjiang with this. Since there is a good opportunity for the three cities of Nanjing Dao to raise the flag anyway, why don't you, the uncle of the country, show up and go back and lead them? This is much less risky than the Bazhou Army's attack. ”

The little fat man's heart jumped suddenly, if Yue Qianqiu and Xiao Jingxian were in front of him at this time, he would definitely scold you angrily What kind of bad idea is this, but at this moment he is still in the position of an eavesdropper, no matter how complicated his mood is, he still gritted his teeth. Soon, he heard Xiao Jingxian's answer.

"Oh, you mean, let me go back to Beiyan alone, raise my arms, and pull a group of people out to quell the rebellion?"

"This kind of thing that ordinary people can't reach, doesn't it show your ability to King Jin?" Yue Qianqiu looked at Xiao Jingxian, whose face did not change and his heart was not beating, and then said casually, "If His Royal Highness the King of Jin feels that it is really difficult for a strong man to go alone, then it is not impossible to bring a helper." Well, I've been to Beiyan once, how about I go with you? Compared to the rash attack of the Bazhou Army, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned around and was attacked, this is the most in line with our mission before departure, isn't it? ”

The little fat man finally changed his color completely. Gasping for air, he couldn't care less about being woken up by the two on the roof, pushing the table and jumping up, even kicking over the chair behind him because he was so flustered. Knowing that Yue Qianqiu and Xiao Jingxian must have heard the movement, but when he found that no one came in for a long time, he couldn't help but be angry.

"What are you two pretending to be stupid, come down for me! I'll let you down! Who gave you the power to make decisions behind my back! ”

Soon, there were two soft sounds outside the door, followed by two doors being gently pushed open by a pair of hands, and it was Yue Qianqiu who was the first to enter the room. Xiao Jing, who was hanging behind unhurriedly, stepped over the threshold with his front foot, and knocked the door shut casually with his back foot.

It wasn't until he saw the two of them that the little fat man gritted his teeth and asked, "Wasn't Zhou ...... before?" Is the guard outside? ”

"Originally, she was right, but she had been running around all day outside, and it was almost time, so I took it upon myself to let her go back and rest first, and then guard her outside. There are more than a dozen guards outside the courtyard, eight Xuanlong captains, and the garrisons on the outer layers are also very tight, I think it's enough......"

Without waiting for Yue Qianqiu, who was not in a hurry, finished speaking, the little fat man interrupted him, this time his tone was not as blunt as just now, but he was even more angry: "I didn't ask you about the defense outside...... Since you replaced Sister Zhou, why did you say those words with King Jin on the roof? ”

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has woken up a long time ago." This time it was Xiao Jingxian who spoke, he stared at the little fat man for a moment, until the other party avoided his gaze a little weakly, and then he said lightly, "It's not that Qianqiu wants to talk to me on the roof, it's that I have to come in despite the obstruction of those people outside the courtyard, and I have to talk to him on the roof." When I said those words to him, I was expecting you to wake up and hear. ”

The little fat man was speechless for a moment, he deliberately didn't call Uncle Xiao Jingxian in private as usual, just to remind him that he was the prince of Dawu now, but now that Xiao Jingxian was outspoken, he was caught off guard. He really wanted to say that you don't want to separate Gu and Liu Jingxuan, but Xiao Jingxian is now nominally a great Wu minister, so saying this is simply pushing people out, so he simply skipped this section.

"Yue Xiaojiu, what did you mean by the last words just now? The King of Jin is alone, and there are only two of you, so isn't it sent to death when you sneak into Beiyan like this? I have already decided that the Bazhou army will wait for the opportunity to move, and will not attack rashly, and I have also reported to my father like this, so you stay honest and don't even think about going anywhere! ”

Yue Qianqiu had heard her advice to the little fat man from Zhou Jiyue before, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, thinking that the little fat man had really made great progress. Conservatism is not a bad thing, especially after the little fat man accepted the six seals of the Northern Yan Son of Heaven sent by Kang Le, it would be stupid to lead the troops to help the Northern Yan Emperor restore the country as he said when he threatened Kang Le before.

Aggressive warfare can sometimes ruin a good situation.

And Xiao Jingxian's reaction was more direct than Yue Qianqiu's smile, he suddenly stretched out his hand to press the little fat man's shoulder, and found that the person first stiffened instantly, and then showed an extremely embarrassed expression, he withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "It is enough to have His Royal Highness the Prince's concern." It's just that I'm tired of staying in Bazhou, and it's time to leave......"

The little fat man suddenly forgot his shame and anger just now, and shouted angrily and anxiously: "Uncle King Jin! ”

Xiao Jingxian didn't react much to this Uncle Jin Wang, but looked sideways at Yue Qianqiu: "Qianqiu, if the last time you went to Beiyan was in crisis, then if you go with me this time, it will be nine deaths." Are you sure you really want to go? ”

"Of course I want to go." Yue Qianqiu viciously burst out four words, seeing that the little fat man's face was already flushed, he sighed in his heart, and then he was the same as Xiao Jingxian, stretched out his hands and pressed the little fat man's shoulders, "Either the Bazhou army will attack, or Xiao Jingxian will cross the border to preside over the overall situation, and then I will look at him." If we don't do anything, it's in vain. But don't worry, I'll take the recreation away and won't leave that trouble for you. ”

The little fat man only felt that his brain was hot, and he blurted out: "Then I'll go too!" ”

"No way!" Yue Qianqiu refused without waiting for the little fat man to say the following, "The son of the daughter can't sit down, you stay honestly in Bazhou, waiting for our good news!" The prince should do the prince's business and grab some business with us! ”
