"Have you found out? Then Mi'er only brought 20,000 people to dare to come to me to show off his might? Liu Min, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, asked in disbelief the commander of the Ma Bujun who knelt in the center of the imperial tent on one knee, and Zhang Yuanhui. It's not just him. The civil and military officials of the Northern Han Dynasty in the tent looked at each other one by one, obviously having considerable doubts about the military situation reported by Zhang Yuanhui. The veteran Bai Conghui and the privy counselor Wang Dezhong are especially in particular. Bai Conghui directly pouted and raised his head, not looking at Zhang Yuanhui, but Wang Dezhong arched his hand and asked: "What the lord suspects is that Guo Rong's father and son have lived in the army for a long time, and they are not people who don't know soldiers. It is necessary to know that the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and they should not be ignored! ”

Zhang Yuanhui raised his head and glanced at Wang Dezhong, but turned his head to Liu Min, and said proudly: "Your Majesty knows the last general, he has been in the army since he was a child, and he writes articles and says beautiful things. The thief army and the infantry army are all commanding He Daqian has always had an old relationship with the last general, he is a heavy general of the Zhou army, and the news from him must be true! ”

Liu Min looked at him: "He?" Zhang Qing has dealings with him? ”

A smug smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Yuanhui's mouth: "Guo Rong's child is a new pseudo-position." It is very unwise to hurriedly lead troops to compete with His Majesty before the rear is stable. He can make it clear, not only is the number of soldiers in Guo Rong's hands only 20,000 at this moment, but in another month and two months, there will be no more reinforcements coming, as long as His Majesty can file Guo Rong's sharp spirit in front of the battle, there will naturally be changes in the country, and it may not be an unforeseen thing for the Lord to drink Ma Bianshui at that time......

Liu Min stared at Zhang Yuanhui's eyes, slowly stood up, his pale head trembled slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did Cao Yingtuo speak?" ”

Zhang Yuanhui shook his head: "No, Cao Shixun will not leave half a word of truth about this kind of thing, but if he does not acquiesce behind the scenes, He Daqian and Fan Aineng would not dare to communicate with the last general in private, and the words of the thief of this generation are naturally unbelievable, but what he said about the enemy's military strength, as well as the affairs of the DPRK and China, are secretly in line with the military report that the last general received, and it should be about the same!" ”

Liu Min frowned, slowly turned around and paced two steps, turned his head and muttered to himself: "Hanging alone in front, there are no reinforcements behind, and there are suspicious generals in the court, in such a situation, the Guo family can still calmly confront me like this, and there is no hurry to engage in a decisive battle, is there anything else to fear?" ”

Zhang Yuanhui glanced at Liu Min. Hug his fists and said: "The Lord does not need to doubt, the person on whom the Guo family relies is nothing more than the old general, now Wang Jun is sick and dead, Wang Yin is punished, Cao Ying and Guo Chongchong are idle, and the Guo family has been born, Guang Mier disregards the criticism of the government and the opposition, does not accept Feng Dao and others to sarcastically, and is forced to come out to the danger of weak soldiers, as far as the soldiers are concerned, they have lost their momentum, and now although they are the first to occupy the geographical advantages of Gaoping Pass, the contestant is only a mountain and a wild shape Shenger, the chess road cloud golden horn silver edge grass belly, Guo Jia watched the rise of the three families of Yang and Li Guanzhong without containment, has lost its horns, The lord sits on the twelve states in the east of the river, and it is also a silver edge, and the loss of the hinterland of the Central Plains with the advantage of the side line is the great victory of the world! Spell skills, after all, are small paths, and they are used to control the people. may be able to get a temporary advantage and fight for the world with it, and the material of the martial marquis is still trapped in a corner, not to mention the Huangkou son of the Guo family? ”

Liu Min listened to Zhang Yuanhui's analysis silently, and a smile gradually bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

Wang Dezhong on the side was frowning, and his eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness.

……

"Master Yu, King Qin is here to worship!" The old man bowed down and stood still under the second gate, bowed his hand in the direction of the inner hall, and spoke in a low voice, and the Zhe Congruan who followed him couldn't help frowning, a little worried about whether the old Taishi in such a small voice could hear it.

However, he quickly dispelled this doubt, and the old man quickly turned around, bowed and waved his hand: "King Qin, please-"

Zhe Congruan Mai stepped into the door, but the scene in front of him couldn't help but surprise him, and his footsteps involuntarily stopped.

Since the last time Feng Dao bumped into Chai Rong above the court, the old lady once again said that he was sick and locked himself in the mansion, and it was rumored that this old guy was so angry that he vomited blood because Chai Rong did not listen to the advice and did not buy his old face. Unexpectedly, Chai Rong had just left the capital, and the old guy openly sent someone to close the door of Baizhongshu, and all major military affairs were paid to the Prime Minister's Mansion for instructions. He is Guo Weiming's edict to Gu Gu's minister, the first emperor was allowed to listen to the government in his own mansion at the time, although Chai Rong has not been very welcome to see this old man of the four dynasties as the father of the dynasty since he succeeded to the throne, but he did not explicitly seize his authority, so although this old guy's move is obviously arrogant, the center and the privy council have not publicly stood up against it. The three central centers are quite medium-quality, and Li Gu is all from Feng Daomen, so naturally there is no need to say it. Even Wang Pu, who visited the prime minister and the opposition last year and had many disagreements with Feng Linggong, did not criticize this, and worked tirelessly every day to send the major folding stamps that needed to be disposed of to the prime minister's mansion. This Feng Linggong is getting bigger and bigger, the three prime ministers of Fan Li Wang can't even enter the second gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so they can only send the official document to the second gate, and from this lead to the second door from Ruan's recent old door, Feng Dao added a penalty note and then went outside the second gate, and the three prime ministers took turns every day.

This old guy just collided with the emperor, the emperor had just left the capital, but he himself openly became the emperor in the palace......

There are many slanderers about this Chinese military officials in Beijing, but none of them dare to publicly stand up and accuse.

The three ministers didn't dare to say anything, and the rest of them were not in their positions, so naturally they wouldn't be bored.

The emperor's military newspaper from the front line, and the military information reports of various armies in various places were ignored by Ruan, and they were all pushed to the privy capital to be ordered by the prince and the privy deputy to Wei Renpu to deal with it, turning himself into a blind and deaf high-class ornament, and only arranging to mobilize his 3,000 soldiers to patrol the palace forbidden market every day.

Chai Rong left Beijing for the first major incident that made the government and the opposition look sideways. It is the edict appointed by the Taishi Mansion and the middle school, and the Yinzhou Thorn Shi Zhede Yuan Quan knows the affairs of the Kaifeng Mansion.

The arrangements before the emperor left Beijing were: King Fan Li was three ministers to keep Zhongshu, Shang Shu ordered to be from Ruan Shoushu's mansion and stay in Tokyo, and Xuanhui made Zheng Renzhi to stay in the deputy.

Under this layout, Zhede Yuan came out of Kaifeng Mansion, and in fact, the control of Gyeonggi was completely placed in the hands of the Zhe family.

In the eyes of outsiders, Feng Dao and Zhi Congruan, the two old horsemen who care about their lives, are simply taking power to the extreme.

However, these two people have taken care of their own affairs since the emperor left Beijing, and have never interacted with each other, and today is the first time that Ruan has visited the Taishi Mansion in two months.

To his surprise, Feng Dao was not only reprimanded by the emperor, but also looked indignant at his decay. After more than a month of "illness" in the house, his face became more and more ruddy, his eyes were extremely clear, and the whole person seemed to be ten years younger.

"Is there a battle report on the front?" Feng Dao saw the first sentence of Zhe Congruan, and he did not mean to be polite.

Zhi Congruan shook his head lightly: "But if Brother Dao asks in the direction of Luzhou, there is no good news, and Brother Dao is relieved......

"If the world is full of good news, what is the use of Li Shu for the imperial court? Why should the imperial court have a prime minister? Feng Dao put down the official document in his hand that was being carefully annotated, slowly stood up and stroked his beard gently, and laughed at himself with some emotion and regret in his eyes.

After that, he looked at Zhe Congruan and said calmly: "Let's talk about it, but Cao Shixun and the others are a little restless?" ”

Zhi Congruan smiled: "Since a certain family is sitting in Beijing, even if Cao Mou is a little restless, he can only temporarily restrain it. It is not Kyori that is worried, but in front of the two armies! ”

Feng Dao listened, pondered for a moment, and said with a slight frown: "The front line will be Ben, and there will be contacts with Beijing?" ”

Zhe Congruan sat down unceremoniously on a chair brought by the old servant, nodded lightly and said: "This is not unusual, in troubled times, it is a spear and a big sword, and a person who has led soldiers for a long time, who can not have some eyes and ears?" It's just that I can't figure out the benefits and disadvantages of this matter in the front-line military, so I'm here to discuss it with Brother Kedao! ”

Feng Dao muttered silently, and asked for a while: "If the front-line military is under the auspices of the public, and the army has different intentions, it will not be killed, how should it be handled?" ”

Zhi Congruan shook his head: "If it is a certain leader, he will borrow his head to establish his authority at this moment!" It's just that the lord has just won a big position, and the people's hearts are not stable, so he is afraid that he may not be willing to use severe punishment and harsh laws to rectify the morale of the army in a hurry. Then again, the old man has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he shares the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, the old man kills, and the soldiers will only shake the vigilance, the lord is young, and he has never really led the soldiers to fight. If the military method is abruptly marched, I am afraid that it will provoke the soldiers to be separated, and the army will have resentment, and the commander will be like standing under the wall. At this moment, I only hope that the emperor can understand the situation of the emperor and understand the other and me, but I don't want him to kill in vain! ”

"In that case, why should the public worry?" Feng Dao asked rhetorically.

Zhi Congruan was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "It's not that someone who is worried for no reason and has led troops for many years knows very well the danger of the situation facing the Lord now. Although the generals in the country were transferred, but one by one the movements were slow, hesitating, the lord led 20,000 lonely troops to hang in front, but the face was three times his own Han-Hu coalition army, and the backup could not keep up, and the generals in the middle of the country were either not convinced that the lord was young, and wanted to see his jokes, or they were suspicious, and the front-line generals secretly corresponded and wanted to have a plan. Although he was conceited for a long time, and when he encountered such a situation, he could only try his best to maintain the stability of the capital and prevent major chaos, but he could not help the front-line military. So-and-so, the Lord is young, I really don't know how he can cope with it! How can I not be troubled? ”

Feng Dao smiled faintly: "People in Beijing, it's not just a public who thinks like this. The concern of all the public is nothing more than the words of the Lord's youth! The difference is that Cao Shixun and others are waiting for change, but the public is afraid of change, in fact, instead of this, it is better to think about it, how to deal with it? ”

Fold Congruan was stunned: "How to deal with the real change?" ”

Feng Dao nodded: "If the lord is defeated in Luzhou, how should you and I deal with it?" ”

Zhi Congruan thought about it seriously, and sighed for a long time: "All kinds of measures are extraordinary, if the Lord defeats and returns to the capital, then all incidents can be eliminated; If the army is really defeated, I am afraid that this world will no longer be the world of the Great Zhou! ”

Feng Dao smiled coldly: "If you don't respect the surname Guo, who else can be respected?" ”

Zhi Congruan was stunned again, but Feng Dao didn't allow him to think about it, and asked: "Whether it's Cao Shixun or Guo Chongchong, which one can be a king?" ”

Zhe Congruan shook his head again and again: "Brother, I'm joking, these military leaders in Beijing, don't say Cao Mou Guo Mou, even the deceased Wang Jun and Wang Yin, it is extremely difficult to suppress the court!" If the Lord is defeated, I am afraid that the country will be torn apart immediately, and those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals will be fluctuating at this moment, and they can still be expected to take into account the overall situation and think of the society? That's a dream! , if there is really an incident, only Yao Yuanfu in the capital may be credible, and the rest of the people are the source of chaos......"

Feng Dao nodded: "So if you want the world to be stable, once the Lord is defeated, you and I, two old men, will have to borrow Cao Shixun's head to calm the hearts of the people of the government and the wilderness......"

Zhi Congruan suddenly jumped up in shock: "This matter must not be ......"

"Why not?" Feng Daosun said with a smile, "With the three thousand children of the folding family, the old man doesn't believe that the old man can't settle the situation of the Beijing Division!" ”

"It's naturally not difficult to stabilize the situation of the Jingshi for a while!" Zhi Congruan retorted, "However, after the lord returns to the court, he will have to face the difficult situation of the surging emotions in the world, and when the time comes, I am afraid that no matter how wise the lord is, it will inevitably borrow the heads of you and me to calm the hearts of the people in the world......"

Feng Dao smiled freely: "If you can really stabilize the hearts of the people in the world, why does Feng Dao pity this head?" How many years can a person in his seventies help the Lord? ”

Zhe Congruan opened his mouth wide and looked at Feng Dao stupidly.

Feng Dao walked over, patted Congruan's shoulder lightly, and said in a light tone: "Ling Gong, you and I are both people who are about to enter the ground, why do you need to have many scruples about doing things?" The glory of power in the court is so important to Ling Gong? There is disharmony, Ling Gong only has to go back to Fuzhou to retire, with Li Huairen here, no one in the world must have the courage to disturb Ling Gong's days. Although Feng Dao is not talented, he has made a promise to Emperor Daxing, since I have secured the present, he has defeated me, of course, I must protect him, he has a small setback, I still have to protect him - Feng Dao has no intention of being foolish and loyal to the family and surname, but in the country, there is no better choice than today......"

"For the livelihood of the world, the great position...... It's better to be still than to be still......"

Feng Dao held his hands, looked at the buds growing on the willow branches under the foyer, and sighed with emotion.

Fold Congruan was stunned, unable to say a word for a long time, only felt a burst of dry mouth, and kept swallowing and foaming......

"I'm not optimistic about today's ......" Feng Dao ignored Ruan's thoughts, and casually said a word that made him dizzy, "Today's ambitions are lofty, more than brave and benevolent is insufficient, if it takes time, it is not a bad Tang Taizong, but if it is like today's bandang, far more than the great cause, a certain person is only afraid of today's talent, can take the world but may not be able to guard the world, the world's way and human feelings, are not allowed to be slowly plotted by the Lord, especially so, but also should judge the situation, in order to slow down the disease, live on the temperament of the strong manipulation, is extremely unbearable!" The first emperor had this clear heart, and it was a pity that the sky would not leave the year......"

"Despite this, Guo Rong is still the best choice today......

Feng Dao did not shy away from saying the name of today's son, and Zhi Congruan, who had already been shocked by his words, did not react at this moment except for a wry smile, for a person who had already stored a will to die in his heart, what was the offense of this name between the words at this moment? Zhi Congruan could even conclude that even if Feng Dao called Chai Rong so to his face, Chai Rong could only endure it - who made this old guy's qualifications really too old?

"I firmly believe that this is the case, so in fact, I am not worried about the things on the front line, if he can't cope with this situation today, he is not worthy of the trust of the Great Emperor!" Feng Dao said lightly.

"Then you're still making a big deal of trouble in the Golden Palace—" Zhi Congruan couldn't help but sneer.

"Even if it is true that Emperor Wen of Tang is coming to the world again, when he is admonished, how can Wei Zhenggong hesitate?" Feng Dao sneered.

"Whether he can win this battle or not is not the same thing as whether he should fight this battle or not! As a king, he should use the way to collect the hearts of the government and the opposition, and the people of the world can live a good life, and he, the son of heaven, will naturally sit firmly; The people of the world are displaced and miserable, he is the overlord of Western Chu, and in the end, there is only one way for Wujiang to kill himself! Being able to win battles does not prove that he is a good emperor, and the amount of inflation only proves that he is a good general...... In the past 100 years, are there still fewer people who can kill people and kill people well? But cherish the people's strength, kill less carefully, and there are fewer and fewer people who can raise people now......" Feng Dao lifted his robe and sat down slowly, shaking his head lightly.

Fold Ruan was speechless, this old man seemed to suddenly open up after Guo Wei's death, more and more daring to speak, and more and more unscrupulous, quite a bit of a person who didn't take the world in his eyes.

Zhe Congruan didn't know if Feng Dao had suddenly become like this at this moment, or if the old Feng Dao himself was an illusion in everyone's impression, and it was the way of self-preservation used by this old guy to confuse the people of the world.

"My son has been obsessed with music and rhythm all his life, and he can't be persuaded to come, and I don't expect him to inherit the mantle with the lintel of the door, and with the presence of the Linggong, it must not be difficult to keep him safe for the rest of his life! Even if the Duke of Ling is gone, as long as there is a Zhi family, the Feng family will not be wiped out......" Feng Dao looked at Zhi Congruan, and said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhe Congruan didn't want to listen to him say these unlucky words anymore, and took out a letter from his sleeve: "Li Huairen wants to hide people's eyes, so the watch seal is still on the way to the capital slowly, and it is hard to say whether he has left Tongguan at this moment, but a private letter came, he did not go to Hedong, but sent troops to attack Liao, and copied Yang Gon's back hometown!" If it succeeds, it will be able to relieve some of the pressure on the Lord in Luzhou......"

Feng Dao stretched out his hand to take the letter, unfolded it and read it silently, sighed softly, and shook his head slightly, as if he had indescribable emotion......

Zhi Congruan frowned and looked at Feng Dao, but Feng Dao smiled to himself and said softly: "Shu has a martial marquis, but it coexists with Sima Xuanwang in the world, is this the sorrow of the martial marquis, or the sorrow of the world?" ”

Zhe Congruan was a little inexplicable, but he heard Feng Dao mutter: "If he sees Huairen in the future, he still hopes that Ling Gong will convey that Feng Dao's life is short and long, so he will ask him......"
