Wang Hanxin's words shocked the four of them again. Liu Yan stretched out to him the greatest sincerity that the emperor could give, and this stunned young man actually talked to the emperor about the conditions, and actually asked the emperor to remain virtuous in order to gain his allegiance. On this point, even Wu Sicheng was shocked, in his eyes Liu Yan was naturally a virtuous emperor, but he never thought that he had the right to refuse the emperor, if Liu Yan was a mediocre emperor, then when the emperor asked him to be loyal, I am afraid that he had only one way to obey. But this Wang Hanxin actually put forward his own conditions, and the concept of imperial power may not exist in this person's mind at all, or his nerves are too thick.

Liu Yan stared at Wang Hanxin's eyes for a long time, and suddenly said: "I ask you, if one day I get old, become mediocre and incompetent, and don't want to make progress, what will you do at that time?" ”

"The ministers will assist His Majesty and the most virtuous of the princes to succeed to the throne." Wang Hanxin said so, as for what method he will use, there is no need to explain.

"What if there are no wise men among my children?"

Wang Hanxin straightened his waist even more and replied: "Then I'm afraid I can only look for it in the clan, if there is no one in the clan, then the minister may sue the old man and return to his hometown, or he may become the sinner referred to by Qianfu." ”

Wang Hanxin's provocative words made Wu Sicheng break out in a cold sweat. It seems that this bastard boy is extremely rebellious in his heart, if it were not for the wise monarch, he would not hesitate to rebel! With this sentence alone, it is not too much to copy all the doors. Wu Sicheng really couldn't imagine what Liu Yan would do with this, because the development of things had exceeded the worst situation that Wu Sicheng could consider. For the first time, Wu Sicheng felt that he could not predict the outcome of things.

Liu Yan's eyes stared at Wang Hanxin, while Wang Hanxin stared directly at the emperor's gaze without fear. I don't know how long it took. It may only be a few minutes, but in Wu Sicheng's eyes, it is as long as a few days. Liu Yan finally showed a smile: "What a kid who doesn't know the height of the sky." I don't listen to what I say. He has a bad temper and never ends causing trouble. But I have lived for so many years, except for hearing others scold the emperor when I went out on patrol, I have never heard others say this, let alone say it in front of me. However, others have something to hide in their hearts and dare not say it, but you can speak out, which is rare. Anyway, I promise you to do your best to be a wise monarch. ”

After hearing this, Wang Hanxin also laughed. Thank you: "The minister knows that His Majesty is a wise king, and the minister Han Xin is willing to do his best for His Majesty, and then die." ”

Liu Yan also straightened up and said, "As a monarch, I have done my best, so shouldn't this courtier also prove his strength?" What do you think of this dynasty, you might as well take this opportunity to say it. ”

Wang Hanxin kowtowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is a martial artist, and he doesn't know anything about the affairs of Wenchen, and he can only have some opinions on the use of soldiers." The minister thinks that there are three major issues that must be resolved in our dynasty at present.

First. With Goryeo we can't relax. Although our dynasty is currently fighting in Tuchi, and the two-front battle is very unfavorable, there are still half of the rivers and mountains in Goryeo, and they are now crippled by us. However, it does not mean that they will not become enemies of this dynasty again after they recover. Therefore, the minister felt that while fighting against the Turks, he should allocate a part of his forces to continue to suppress Goryeo, as long as the current national strength of Goryeo is concerned, as long as this suppression is maintained on a certain scale. They will not be able to continue to regain their national strength, and in a few years Goryeo will become a poor and weak country. When the time comes, he will either honestly become a vassal of our dynasty, or he will be completely destroyed by our dynasty. Become the territory of our dynasty. ”

Liu Yan nodded after listening: "There is some truth in it, it seems that your hatred for Goryeo is really unforgettable." ”

Wang Hanxin shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does have a deep hatred for Goryeo, but this matter has nothing to do with personal feelings, but from the standpoint of the interests of our dynasty." The second thing is the war with the Tukhi, although there are very few wars between the ministers and the Tukyo, but some of these issues have been carefully pondered in the past few years. The minister thought that the battle with Tuqi was only about attack and defense. The so-called defense is to stop the rapid advance of the Tuqi cavalry. At this point, what I've done in the past is not perfect. Your Majesty, please see, Tuqi has raised troops to the south for many years, but there are few examples of attacking from the front line of Linzhou Fengzhou, that is because this place is related to the safety of Chang'an, and the emperors of all dynasties have attached great importance to the defense here. The dense forts and walls formed a tight strategic defensive zone, and the Turkic cavalry would have suffered heavy casualties if they had to conquer these successive forts, and if they had to fight against these forts in a roundabout way, not only would the supply lines not be guaranteed, but their mobility would also be greatly slowed down in this roundabout, and the mobility of the cavalry would be lost. However, this kind of defense has an obvious disadvantage, that is, it is expensive to build, it takes a long time, and consumes a lot of manpower, and it is obviously not suitable to use it on the entire northern front. The minister thought that the essence of defending the Turk was to deprive the opponent of the ability to move, so a simple earthen wall could well prevent the horses from passing, and this relatively simple earthen wall could be used to delay the movement of the Turk cavalry, and gradually form a defensive network, forcing the forces of the Turk to be divided and delayed, even without garrisons. The so-called offensive does not mean that it is necessary to fight to the death with the Tuqi cavalry in the field, and it has been proved that the strength of the Tuqi cavalry is indeed eye-catching, and it is very disadvantageous to fight with them in the field. Instead, cavalry was also used to attack the territory of Turgye. However, the Turk is different from our dynasty, it is vast and sparsely populated, the material is scarce, the result of each advance is labor, but there is not much success, and the decisive battle with the enemy army is not a complete victory, so the minister thinks that our dynasty's attack on the Turk should be to plunder the opponent's cattle, sheep and horses as the primary purpose. Cattle and sheep are the food for the Turks, horses are their weapons, whether they are plundering or slaughtering, as long as these three things are consumed, the Turks will not be able to continue fighting, let alone have food to eat. After all, the Khan of Tuqi is nothing more than a bandit leader who divides the spoils fairly, and if the bandit leader can't even support his robbers, then the gang of robbers has only one way to go. When the time comes, if we attack them again, we will be able to completely divide the entire Turkey Contract, and we are afraid that we will not be able to defeat them? ”

Liu Yan nodded again and again when he said this, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a copy of Goryeo's desperate plan, but it sounds quite interesting." ”

"The trick is not new or old, it just works, the punch is not serious, the hit is the most important." Wang Hanxin replied with a smile, and then lowered his face and said: "Your Majesty, the first two things are the war that our dynasty is currently facing, but the next one is a hidden danger that has not yet happened. ”

"Oh? What is it? Liu Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked.

"Civil strife, Your Majesty. The minister expects that there will be a civil strife in our dynasty in the near future. (To be continued.) )
