Of course not, this Ximen Qing is not the other Ximen Qing. This Ximen Qing can be regarded as a rich school, five cars, and eight buckets. The most rare thing is that this Ximen Qing was personally sent by Yan Chengyu to the lecture hall for further study, and then arranged for him to enter the Zhenbei Army as a top talent to join the army. He is good at strategic planning, and if Niu Tianci wants to dominate the world in the future, such a strategist is indispensable. To say that God's brother Zhou Xiaoxian is not bad, he is smart enough and genius enough. However, Zhou Xiaoxian's plan focused on civil administration, and because he was too young, his vision was not broad. For the big strategic layout, prediction and planning, it is still beyond our power. The cultivation of talents requires the accumulation of time and experience, and at this point, Ximen Qing must be Zhou Xiaoxian.

"Mr. Simon summoned me here, I don't know what to say?" Niu Tianci asked straight to the point.

"When the heavenly brother hears the sound and knows the meaning, doesn't he have any thoughts in his heart?" It seems that Ximenqing is better at kicking ball.

Niu Tianci stood up and bowed down and said: "Tianci has great ambitions in his heart, but unfortunately he doesn't see the general trend of the world very clearly. Heaven please ask for advice. After Tianci finished speaking, he bowed again and again.

"Brother Xian, please get up, since I know who you are, and I hint that you came to me, naturally I won't hide my secrets. Why did the virtuous brother only pay attention to the Far East when he saw the map of the Great Yan Territory just now? ”

"Presumably, Mr. already knows that the Far Eastern barbarians do not obey the king, and they have repeatedly made trouble. Not long ago, he actually sneaked into the hinterland of the Central Plains to rob the tax collector's silver, how can such arrogance not make people indignant. Today, His Majesty has sent a large army to the east to quell the rebellion, but I think that the victory or defeat of the labor division is unpredictable, and I don't know if Mr. has a clever plan. ”

"Martial Saint Li Gong rides the wind and clouds: the national war, the general trend. There are many factors that go into this trend. In a nutshell, it is the right time, the right place, and the right people. Combined with the situation in the Far East, the barbarians have lived in the Far East for a long time and occupy the advantages of geographical location and time. In addition, waiting for work at ease, and fighting the tired army with elite can not be defeated. On the other hand, Dayan. Today, His Majesty is busy suppressing the major families, ******** and governing power in various places. As a result, the morale of the army is sluggish and the people's morale is unstable. Li Kezhi and his ilk controlled the government and blindly applied gentle policies to the barbarians, so that raising tigers was a problem, which was really a misguided move for the country. Look at the great governors of the Far East garrison in the past dynasties. All of them are to suppress the peoples of the Far East with an iron-fisted policy. For hundreds of years, the military and civilians of Dayan have always been guests in the eyes of the Far Eastern ministries, and using guests as the main ones can not arouse the resentment of the Far Eastern ministries. This grievance has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a grudge that is not easy to resolve. The local government exerts an iron fist, and the central government exerts tenderness, and there will inevitably be some conflicts. As the days went by, the grievances of the various departments in the Far East deepened, and the garrisons in the Far East also had grievances, and it was inevitable that the two would be united and conflicted. ”

"I don't know if Tianci has read the annals of Dayan? Throughout the successive monarchs of the Great Yan, the Far Eastern ministries were divided and disintegrated. Focused strike strategy. Today, however, His Majesty's handling of the Far East is entirely a matter of personal preference. In this way, it can be said that the relatives and enemies will be happy, and the various departments that are swaying in the middle will be pushed to the side against Dayan. This situation has already taken place, unless His Majesty now reverts to the old system and reverts to the practice of division and disintegration. Otherwise, the result will only be difficult to return, and the Far East will be in danger. Ximenqing shook his head again and again when he said this.

"Sir, we can't influence Your Majesty today. I only ask my husband if the situation in the Far East reaches a point where it is out of control. What should we do? God's gift asked.

"From now on, rearm the war and strengthen the Northern Army. Restart the Duke of Qin as the commander. Stick to the line of Red Rock Mountain and block the barbarians from moving south, especially here. Ximenqing pointed to a point on the map with a long rod, and Tianci saw that the name of the point was Urakan.

"Urakan is a choke point, with steep mountains and narrow roads. It is the only way for the barbarians to cross the Red Rock Mountain. It is also a strategic point for the Northern Army to defend. Establish a tiered defense line with Urakan as the center, and consume the barbarian vitality one by one. At the same time, the Great Yanshui Division was sent to blockade the sea surface of the Far East and prohibit the flow of all kinds of materials into the Far East. After a long time, the Far Eastern ministries will inevitably lose their combat strength due to lack of materials. People's hearts fluctuate. At this time, we will implement the strategy of co-opting and dividing each other, aggravate the contradictions among various departments, and make them chaotic without a fight. At this time, we can rely on the cities of the Far East that are still in our hands as a base point, and attack from all sides to gradually quell the rebellion in the Far East. This is the safest strategy, but it takes a long time and costs a lot. ”

Niu Tianci stood up and walked back and forth a few times, turned around and asked, "Sir, if the Far East is not guaranteed, and Hongshi Mountain is lost, how should I deal with myself in the future?" ”

Ximen Qing looked at Niu Tianci in surprise. His strategic concept has always been based on the situation that Dayan has an advantage, if you look at it according to Niu Tianci's statement, then I am afraid that it is not only the Far East that will be lost, but I am afraid that even the eastern Pingrong grassland will not be able to hold it.

"You mean that the barbarians have the ability to conquer Urakan?" Ximenqing asked in disbelief.

"If I go, and your majesty doesn't hinder me now, I can keep Urakan safe. Now with only the Northern Army, there is a chance that seven or eight out of ten will not be able to hold Urakan. God's answer in the affirmative.

"No way. The Northern Army has nearly 500,000 soldiers, all of whom are elite in a hundred battles. How can you not hold Urakan? ”

"Sir, as you just said, the general trend includes many factors. The most important thing is the determination and courage of those in power, which His Majesty does not possess today. You only need to look at the fact that there have been basically no new recruits joining the Northern Army in recent years, and you can speculate that the current Northern Army has reached the point of lack of troops. Your Majesty's intentions in treating the Northern Army in this way do not need to be said, and the gentleman will understand. ”

Bang, Ximen Qing slapped his palm on the table.

"Internal friction, this is internal friction. I really haven't noticed the changes in the Northern Legion over the years, and in my heart the Northern Legion is still the invincible hero. As soon as I heard from you, I realized that our fatal weakness was actually behind us. Brother Heaven, you just said that if you go, you can defend Urakan, right? ”

"Yes."

"How to keep it, and what conditions are needed?"

"The right, the right to be arbitrary."

"Then you must at least be the Grand Protector of the Heavenly Wolf Capital of the Eastern Pingrong Grassland, and you can only do it by sitting in the Heavenly Wolf City. Are you sure? ”

"At least sixty percent sure."

"Why are you so sure?"

"The prince is my brother."

Ximen Qing stared at Niu Tianci, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahahaha, those who achieve great things are not informal. Niu Tianci, Xiao Xiong also. ”

Ximen Qing took Niu Tianci to the map of Dayan's territory, pointed to the map and said to him: "Come and see if you can take charge of an army alone." Able to stand on their own. But one day, His Majesty ordered you to withdraw your troops and return to the DPRK, and even ordered you to abandon the Pingrong Prairie. How should you? ”

Niu Tianci understands that Ximen Qing wants to see how ambitious he is. Tianci knows that this hypothesis that Ximen Qing said is very likely to become a reality in the future. Wasn't Yue Fei in Chinese history stopped by the twelve gold medals? If there were no twelve gold medals of Emperor Song, it would not be impossible for the Yue family army to enter the Huanglong Mansion.

"If that's the case. I'm going to occupy a base and protect myself. ”

"Well, if that's the case, come and see. When that time comes, you should first occupy Youzhou. There are three advantages, the first is that Youzhou is Yan Shuai's ancestral hometown, and it is easy to return to the people's hearts. The second is that Youzhou Thorn Shi Zhuang Dayan and the Yan family are good at the family, and his ancestral home is also in Youzhou, so it will be twice the result with half the effort. Youzhou has a vast territory and a large population. The people are fierce and easy to fight, and it is a good place for strong soldiers and horses. Sanyouzhou is known as the granary of the north, and military food and materials are easy to raise. Combining the above three points, Youzhou must be in your hands. If you look at Liaozhou, which is close to Youzhou, it is close to the sea and has developed maritime trade. One of Dayan's two sailors was stationed in Liaozhou. Liaozhou is not inferior to the land of Gyeonggi. Here is fertile and thousands of miles, and the people are simple. The sergeants of Liaozhou were hard-working. Known for its bravery and good fighting. Liaozhou Thorn Shi Qin Kewang and the Yan family are also in the same spirit, and it is effortless to collect Liaozhou. At the same time, Liaozhou is in hand, which is equivalent to mastering a powerful sailor. So Liaozhou is also a must-take place for you. It is more than enough to sit on the two states of Youliao for self-protection. ”

Speaking of which, Ximen Qing looked at Niu Tianci again and stopped talking. Niu Tianci knew that he was waiting for him to confide in his true heart. Tianci pointed to the map of the territory of Dayan and said: "Mr. Ximen, you see that the territory of this Dayan is all the gains of the ancestors in a hundred battles, and it was exchanged for blood. Even if our younger generations can't follow the example of our predecessors to expand our territory, we should at least keep the land left by our ancestors. Others don't want to, I think. Others don't dare. I dare. Even if Your Majesty doesn't allow it, I'll do the same. This world is not a world with one surname, and there is the blood of my ancestors in the land of Dayan, and I feel that I cannot tolerate this land falling into the hands of the enemy. I'm going to settle on the two states of Youliao, and I want more. ”

Ximen Qing smiled. He said: "You can protect yourself by sitting on Youliao, and you can fight against the imperial court by taking Liaodong." Controlling the states in the south of the Yangtze River can be ruled by dividing the river with the imperial court, or you can compete for hegemony in the Central Plains. ”

Niu Tianci opened his right hand and clenched it into a fist and said: "I want the world to be in my hands, I want the world to have no more wars, I want the people of the world to no longer suffer from chaos, and I want the people to be peaceful forever." Mr. Simon would like to help me. ”

After arranging his clothes, Ximenqing bowed respectfully and said: "Ximenqing is full of poetry and books, and knows how to fight. I wanted to emulate the martial saint and establish immortal deeds and leave a reputation for eternity. However, Yan Shuai is barely able to protect himself, not to mention me, a nobody. Today, I met the Lord and swore to follow the Lord. Life and death go hand in hand, liver and brain smeared on the ground, until death. The lord is on the top, please accept the Ximen celebration. ”

Niu Tianci was overjoyed and hurriedly picked up Ximenqing. It was the first time he had subdued a counsellor so smoothly, and it was even more exciting for him than to subdue Wang Meng. You must know that an excellent advisor is worth 100,000 heroes. Niu Tianci has long felt that there is a great lack of strategic planning talents in his team. His current subordinates are still good at obeying orders and listening to commands, and taking the initiative within their own capabilities. But as soon as it rises to the strategic level, it is wide-eyed and narrow-eyed, and there is no way to do it in a hurry. Therefore, Niu Tianci is extremely eager to have a top strategist similar to Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang. Ximen Qing happened to appear in front of him at this time, which really solved the urgent need of God. After the two talked, Niu Tianci was greatly relieved of Ximenqing's ability. Before Ximenqing came out of the mountain, he planned the world for Tianci, which is not much different from Zhuge Liang's unquite.

Niu Tianci handed a jade plaque to Ximenqing, told him how to use it and how to contact him, and then told Ximenqing.

"Sir, why don't you go back to Cangshan Mansion with me, which is also our foundation. After Tianci gets Liulin Academy, can Mr. come here again to plan and arrange for me? ”

"Lord, although Cangshan is good, it is not a place to live for a long time. Qing suggested that the lord move all the essence of Cangshan Mansion to Liulin Academy as soon as possible. Don't worry, after you go to Mukden, Liulin Academy will be the lord's. Lord, Qing can't follow the lord for the time being, Qing has more important things to do. ”

"What's so important?"

"Seek to take Youzhou for the lord. Hehe, the lord doesn't know anything, Qing is already the history of Youzhou. A few days later, as soon as the official arrived with the documents, Qing immediately took office. The lord has not yet come out of the mountain, and half of Youzhou is already in his hands. Congratulations to the Lord, congratulations to the Lord. ”

Hahahaha, Niu Tianci laughed heartily. He understands that it is not his luck, but that there are people who support him with all their strength behind his back. The two chatted for a long time, and then they said goodbye.

Ximenqing stood at the door and said to Niu Tianci: "Lord, go and see Yan Shuai, he misses you very much." ”

Niu Tianci nodded and said, "I'll go in a few days." Sir, come with me to Liulin Mansion tomorrow, and I will introduce you to someone. When I'm not around, I can ask him for help with anything. ”

"But Mr. Wei Qichang? Yes, it's time to get acquainted. ”

"It's him, then I'll pick up Mr. tomorrow."

"Qing is here to wait for the lord."

Niu Tianci returned to Yan Mansion, and Hong Tu looked at him with inquiring eyes. Tianci smiled and nodded, Hong Tu's face immediately smiled, and the old and the young helped each other to walk into the door. This night, I slept very sweetly, and in my sleep, I seemed to see myself and Yuan Yuan wearing red wedding clothes, standing in a magnificent hall, and accepting the congratulations of many people. Yan Chengyu and Zhuo Yujiao, Niu Dazhuang and Chun Niang smiled very happily.

There was one person who didn't fall asleep that night, and he was Ximenqing. At this moment, Ximenqing is working hard to write, and the paper that has been written is impressively written "Far Eastern Peaceful Barbarian Policy", and what he is writing is called "Chasing Deer Strategy". When Ximenqing occasionally raised his head, he looked at the bright moon in the sky and smiled and said, "Lord, Ximenqing's lifelong ambitions and learning are now on you, don't let Qing down." ”

After finishing speaking, Ximenqing smiled dumbly, and secretly said that he was almost thirty years old, and he actually worshipped a little brother as the lord, and his life experience was really incomprehensible. (To be continued.) )
