was surprised for a while, and then heard the exclamation of the old father beside him, and the resentment in Wei Mushan's heart surged up again, "How can my father increase the prestige of others, my Wei Mujia guards the west of the river, resists the Uighurs in the west, rejects the Tibetans in the south, and guards against the barbarians in the south of the grassland, which is not so easy to get along with." ”

If Wei Mu Yihei had the insight of later generations, he would definitely curse loudly that his eldest son was not young and still a bear child, but it was a pity that he was not a monster like Luo Kaixian after all, he didn't have that knowledge, and he didn't have this word, all he could do was to stare at his son with his eyes, and then forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, "Shan Xi'er, then Luo Kaixian killed decisively in the land of seven rivers, no matter who the opponent is, he never has a soft heart, do you know why he did this after he settled in Lingzhou?" ”

"Bear child" Wei Mushan grabbed the top of his bare head, looked at his father's gray hair and beard, and held back the jealousy in his heart, and thought for a while before he spoke: "Isn't it that he knows that there are many people in the east, and he is afraid that the crowd in Hexi will attack him, so he doesn't dare to act recklessly and restrain his troops?" ”

"......" The white-bearded veteran almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and he held it for a long time before he eased up, shook his dizzy head, pointed at his son and said slowly: "You unlearned and unskilled son...... Tens of thousands of soldiers under Na Luo Kaixian, enough to directly attack the city when he besieged Huizhou at the beginning, at that time, although there are millions of people in our party, but scattered everywhere, even if someone rescues, it can also be dealt with in accordance with the art of war, no need to consume physical strength, just encircle the point to send reinforcements can make the rescue of the various departments wipe out...... In the land west of the river, the most powerful is us, and if he destroys us, who is he afraid of? ”

The veteran said in detail, Wei Mushan didn't want to make his father angry anymore, and after listening to it rarely, he realized that there seemed to be something wrong with his cognition - the elder surnamed Luo was not as simple as it looked.

"At the beginning, when Luo Kaixian arrived in Huizhou, he did not directly attack the city, it was caused by the intercession of your brother-in-law, not because he Luo was soft-hearted...... This was told to me by Ah Yi himself in Xiazhou a month ago. Seeing that his son was patiently listening to the training, Wei Mu Yihei stabilized his mood again, and said in a gentle tone: "Ah Yi, I and your sister Bayang have talked about many things in Xiazhou, and now I don't need to hide it from you...... After Ah Yi was forced to surrender from Polo City, he was not treated harshly by Luo Kaixian, and he knew the most about Naluo Kaixian's men and horses along the way. Shanxier, you know what? A man and horse escorting the old and young women and children on the way, in addition to the fixed footsteps every day, but also to carry out various offensive and defensive drills along the way, no one cares whether they are tired or not, have you ever heard of any tribe that can do it on the way to migration? ”

Wei Mushanxi may be a little reckless and stubborn, but he is not a fool, his father Dun Dun is kind and seductive, and he still understands it, but the things described in the words still make him a little stunned.

The white-bearded veteran didn't sell his son either, paused and continued: "When my father was young, he saw the migration of the tribes in the north who fled the White Plague, the great escape of the Shatuo people when the country was destroyed (1), and the caravan of more than 3,000 people...... The last time you met that Luo Kaixian with me, did you find that there were thin people among his men? ”

Wei Mushan thought about it, and then shook his head, as his father said, there are no weak people in Lingzhou in the west, but most of them are powerful and strong guys.

"Ah Yi told me in Xiazhou that Naluo Kaixian's men and horses have strict rules, and there are different precepts for marching, attacking, defending, and garrisoning, and all the people who command the army and the lowest soldiers must abide by them, without exception! And there is a unique rule in his army, regardless of men, women, old and young, there are rules for eating and drinking every day, and even the toilet must be in the designated place, if you encounter a water source when traveling, everyone must take a bath, even the wounded and sick are no exception, so many rules, Ah Yi was also puzzled at first, but Luo Kaixian had a medical battalion commander told him that Luo Kaixian led the crowd to travel thousands of miles, and hundreds of thousands of people never died of illness because of drinking water and eating...... I didn't see what happened on the road, but I saw them build a camp in Lingzhou before, but I saw it clearly, what Ah Yi said was absolutely true, the women and children in Luo Kaixian's team knew the rules better than our soldiers! Maybe it's because it's addictive to teach his son this kind of thing, Wei Mu Yihei said smoothly, and when he felt something, the gentle and old tone also became a little high-pitched.

It's just that the old man didn't get much feedback, and what he saw was the eldest son's somewhat stupid face, and the shiny bald head.

When he came back from Xiazhou, the frustration in the veteran's heart was not vented, and at this time, he didn't care whether his son listened carefully or not, and continued to talk about himself, "In the military, the first is brave, the second is the law, and the third is the weapon, which is what the old father has gained from the army for many years." Previously, in the south of Baichi City, the old father had seen the courage of Luo Kaixian's department, and he had seen their laws before, and he had seen the armaments they had worn along the way. War knives, spears, armor, fast horses, none of them can be compared to our state! Shan Xi'er, you say, if you are given 40,000 men, how can you win? ”

The descriptions one after another shocked Wei Mushanxi's heart, his head was almost a mess, and his little insight collided with what his father said, and he couldn't think of how to evaluate it.

So in the face of the veteran Wei Mu Yihei's questioning, he could only keep silent.

Lao Weimu does not force his son to express any attitude, for him, explain the pros and cons clearly, and let the son make his own choice, he, the father, is not only the stubborn son in front of him, he really can't be convinced, and he can only go.

Thinking about this, the old man continued: "A little stupid, isn't it? These days, my father, I am also thinking hard, that Luo Kaixian can handsome tens of thousands of people travel thousands of miles almost unharmed, how many people with ill intentions will be met along the way? Presumably, the road they have traveled is paved with bones, how can such a person be timid and afraid? Lingzhou is a hundred miles away, and there are not 100,000 people who can fight and dare to fight, what is it for Luo Kaixian, who defeated and killed 80,000 coalition troops in Polo City in seven or eight days? What's more, the coalition forces in Polo City are all elite soldiers, and the 100,000 rabble is afraid that it only takes a few heavy cavalry charges to solve the ......"

Wei Mushan kept thinking about his father's words, and when he heard the pause, he couldn't help but interject: "According to what my father said, Luo Kaixian is wise and brave, and his subordinates are also loyal, and they will be invincible in attacking a hundred miles!" So...... can attack but not attack, according to the Han teacher that my father invited me, Luo Kaixian must have his own plan! ”

"That's right!" Seeing that the stubborn son finally understood something, the veteran cheered, "Very well said, Shan Xi'er!" Father, I thought about it for more than a month, and then I guessed Luo Kaixian's plan! ”

It was rare for the old father to praise him, and Wei Mu Shanxi was also very happy, carrying a teapot to refill the veteran's tea bowl, and then he didn't talk much, only nailed his eyes to the old Wei Mu, looking forward to the following.

Wei Mu Yihei was a little relieved to pick up the tea bowl and take a few sips, the tea soaked his throat with too many words and a little dry, and also soaked his helpless heart, after a pause, he continued to speak, "After Luo Kaixian arrived in Lingzhou, he didn't count the matters of contacting Huizhou, and with Ah Yi in person, he would not be difficult for us." It's just that after arriving in Lingzhou, he was disobedient by the Uta Ministry, and the next day he killed everyone in the entire Uta Ministry, and then collected the women who were occupied and looted by the Uta Ministry, which is a two-pronged strategy of deterrence and entrapment; I heard that the Ma family in Xingzhou in the north had sent an envoy to visit Luo Kaixian, but failed to reach an understanding, and then Luo Kaixian sent people around Xingzhou to attack and harass Ma's pasture and Wubao, but there was no interference with the Wang family and the Cao family, the old father judged that Luo Changren must be trying to divide Xingzhou, the purpose is also very simple, cut off the Ma family's financial route, squeeze the place where the Ma family exists, so that there is no tacit understanding with the Wang Cao family in Xingzhou, and the news provided by businessmen in Xingzhou also proves this, I am afraid that before the arrival of spring, Xingzhou will change hands...... Looking at all the actions of this person in Luo Kaixian,"

"In this way, the target of the elder surnamed Luo is Xingzhou?" Wei Mushan continued to ask.

"No, it's not just Xingzhou." After denying it, Lao Wei Mu stroked his beard and said: "Half a month ago, a new field was set up in the Lingzhou camp, and Luo Kaixian invited dozens of small tribal leaders scattered around, presumably to win them over. Shan Xi'er, you must know that any powerful force, first of all, needs people the most, and only with enough Dingkou can it have the strength to do the expected things. Of course, if you have people, you must also restrain people's methods, otherwise a mess of loose sand will hurt others and hurt yourself. ”

"But ......" Wei Mushan started with joy and endured the second half of the sentence, because he suddenly understood that the old father suddenly called himself a secret word today, in order to make himself give up dealing with Lingzhou, and the big set of words that he rarely said had already clarified too much truth for himself.

"Shan Xi'er, you finally understand?" Wei Mu Yihei took a closer look at his son's expression, no longer paid attention to him, and said to himself: "Luo Kaixian is a really smart person, and it seems that no one will provoke him to enter Lingzhou, in order to integrate into Hexi, so that everyone thinks that he is not a threat. But in fact, he has in his hands a force that is enough to defeat all the forces in Hexi, and this force is probably only handled by the Zhao Song or Khitan people in the east, and our party is ...... People's hearts are separated, but it is difficult to be an opponent. ”

"Father! If you let go of Weizhou (2) and Qingyuan (3), and guide the Song people to attack ......" Wei Mushan tore open the placket of his leather robe and shouted in a sullen voice.

"Bastard idea! The Song people are treacherous, how can you and I calculate? Two years ago, the leader of Jiqian was calculated to death by the Song people, and the Tibetan Pan Luozhi was just the knife that borrowed a knife to kill people! The words almost burst out of Lao Weimu's throat, "And with the cunning of the Song people, if they win, will they withdraw from Hexi?" Absolutely not! If the Song people are defeated and Luo Kai wins first, will he let us go? You're going to die without a place to bury! ”

Wei Mushan was also anxious, "Father, this won't work, that won't work, according to what you said, what do you want?" You can't suffocate in this city! ”

Sure that his son's desire to use the Song people was just a temporary delusion, Lao Wei Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "This will be a state city, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will become a Luo Changren, and my Wei Mu family may be able to keep a place to speak, so it depends on how to choose." ”

"Father, you?" Wei Mushan's eyes widened.

"My father remembers reading in the Han classics that there are countless ways to conquer a place, but the imposition of swords and soldiers is the most stupid!" Wei Muyi's face was very complicated, "Luo Kaixian has the most powerful combat power, and the purpose is nothing more than to deter the surrounding area and open a field, which is naturally to win people's hearts!" In this way, I don't want to have too deep a grudge against the Hexi tribes, but I just ...... This is a soft knife to grind people, more difficult to control than hard fighting, in the words of the Han people, this is the royal means! ”

"The royal way?"

"Yes, he has a heavy army, who dares to provoke him? Even if he used the field to buy people's hearts and threw out a lot of good things, who would dare to rob them? I'm afraid that Na Luo Changren is sitting in Lingzhou and waiting for someone to make trouble, so he can take the opportunity to stand up and deter Xiaoxiao! ”

"Hiss......"

"Your brother-in-law Ah Yi has decided to unite with Luo Kaixian, my Wei Mu family alone can't provoke Luo Kaixian in Lingzhou, the Yeli Department is lonely, and one of his arms has been cut off, I'm afraid I have to face the attack of the few tribes, what can I do? You'd better give up your idea of sneaking up on Lingzhou, the soldiers of Huizhou must not act rashly, and my father is not willing to go to Lingzhou to pick up bones for you! Wei Mu Yihei's last sentence can be said to be categorical.

Wei Mushanxi was completely stunned.
