The truth that Xu Ruyu can figure out is the foundation of Jiang Ning's actions in the future.

Fang Su said: "What Ru Yu said at this time should be recorded by a special person and passed on to future generations. I'll call Zhao Jingyun. ”

Xu Ruyu stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "It's not a word to govern the world, it's just that I have an understanding, only Zisu understands my mind here, calls you out, and talks about it at will." ”

"Okay, I'll hear from you."

Xu Ruyu remembered something and said: "Chen's pre-attack on Pengcheng is a big mistake, there must be twists and turns, and I will not miss it." Zisu will follow me to Jiangning, if there is any inconvenience, I will let you go to Nanmin to exchange for Zheng Menghuai and come back. ”

Zheng Menghuai is the Zuo Cheng of the Southern Fujian Metropolitan Court, and is in charge of military affairs with Liang Bao, the head of the line.

Rao is Fang Su's heart was as light as water, and at this time, there were waves in his heart, he calmed down a little, and said: "I'd better stay with you, it's nothing convenient or inconvenient, I have already asked Shu'er to go to Jiangning." ”

Xu Ruyu nodded and said: "It's very good here, although the military and political government of Jiangning are divided into the three prefectures, but everything still needs me to refute, the young Li delivery period is approaching, Jue'er is not knowledgeable, I also have a lot of troubles, Zisu follows me, and helps me in this matter." Zisu didn't come to help me, I wanted to transfer Zheng Menghuai to the Changshi Mansion and Xu Boying to my side, which would be quite troublesome. ”

Fang Su knew that Xu Ruyu had a plan, so he didn't push it back, and nodded in agreement.

The young generation of the East China Sea, if you talk about strategy and insight, Zhang Jidao and Fang Su are the first, Jiang Lingtian, Zhang Zhongdao, and Xiao Wuye are slightly second, followed by Mei Liting, Xing Kunmin, Zeng Yixing, Wei Shuwei, Chen Zifang, Chen Jingzong and others. Xu Ruyu worked in Wanling when he was a teenager, looking like a child, and Chen Zifang, Fang Su and others were already adults, and the brothers Zhang Zhongdao and Zhang Jidao were not included in Chen Ang's disciples.

At that time, Zhang Jidao and Fang Su were subordinate disciples of the Chen family, and they all accumulated meritorious posts to the rank of commander, which was extremely rare in the East China Sea, where the family strictly controlled the military power.

The Chen clan has been passed down to Chen Ang's lineage, there are only two people in the big sect, Chen Ang only has one daughter, Chen Yuyu, there is no inheritance, Chen Pre's son is not yet an adult, although there are Chen Zifang and Chen Jingzong in the clan, the clan has two clan bloodlines recently, Chen Ang also took the two under the door, but the insight and strategy are not excellent. Chen Ang was able to use disciples with side surnames, such as Zhang Jidao, Zhang Zhongdao, Fang Su, Zeng Yixing and others, which made the development momentum of the Chen family more prosperous than the Biling Wei family and the Tairu Xi family, and it was also an inevitable factor in the victory of the East China Sea War.

Thinking of the affairs of the family clan, Xu Ruyu couldn't help frowning, looked at Fang Su, and said: "The county policy is adapted to local conditions, so the rough laws and regulations in various places are uneven. If you don't notice it at first, it won't take long for the drawbacks to be exposed. Yet it is easy to unify the law. On this trip to the north, I realized some truths, the inner way is kingly, and the outsider is domineering, so I can unify the royal road and the domineering way. This matter of the law must reflect the subtle meaning of the royal way of checks and balances. ”

Fang Su was slightly stunned, among all the people in Jiangning, Shao Haitang is the most refined law, and the system of separation of government, hall, and government is founded by Shao Haitang with the assistance of Xu Ruyu.

Xu Ruyu continued: "I look at the law of the previous dynasty, including the world, but only one person is missing, this law is just a person to restrain the world, reflecting a person's [***], if you say, it is really [***] monopoly hegemony, not a balanced royal road. Millennial ills, the biggest of all. The disasters of relatives, temple people, ministers, fences, clans, and families all originate from this. The authority of the world [***] is in the king alone, the king disdains, relatives, temple people, ministers, fences, clans, and families all come to steal the authority of the world, and there is a miracle. ”

When Fang Su first heard this, his ears and eyes were clear, but if he was not fully sure of the art of decentralization, he was afraid that if he said it, he would become the handle of the attack of everyone in Jiangning in the future.

"The royal way of the inside is the art of separation of powers and checks and balances. The authority of the world is embodied by the law, and it can be seen that among the authority, the establishment of the law is the most fundamental. The law is made by the king, and it is the law of the king alone; The law is established by the family, and it is the law of the family; The law is established by the people of the world, and it is the law of the people of the world. My father once said that the world is the world of the people of the world, and the authority should be divided among the people of the world, which is the real royal way of checks and balances. However, the common people are obtuse, and if they are not taught, they cannot exercise authority. The law was established by kings and families and educated commoners, and authority was divided among them, which was a good system that could exist in the world. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ruyu sighed lightly and said: "If the commoners have talent, they will all enter the king and the family, and this law is only for the king and the family to stand together, and the authority in the world is also held by the king and the family, but there is a way for the commoners." When Yongyang first set up the political affairs hall, I agreed with the Yongyang family that all systems would be issued by the political affairs hall, but this kind of high idea at that time was not yet mature. Since the revision of the law is so important, it is necessary to have a special division, and the revision and enforcement of the law should be dedicated to a division, and it is not a way of checks and balances. There is a separate division, the name of the political hall, and the political system is also out. In this way, the council hall repaired the political system, and the government hall, the Changshi Mansion, and the Sima Ya three divisions were branched, and the Mingjian Division supervised them. Since the council is the foundation of authority, a part of the power of refutation should also be placed in the council. He also said, "The premise of the royal way of checks and balances lies in the centralization of power, the art of centralization, and my father's policy of placing the county is acceptable." The crux of this is the abolition of the drawbacks of the old system of battalion guards. The division of the family stems from the personal dependence of the commoners. In the last years of the old dynasty, the land annexation was serious, and the commoners had no land, so they had to belong to the family, and the family was able to organize private soldiers, so that the guard system later appeared. In addition to the guards, there was still a battalion system, and the soldiers of the battalion army began to come from conscription, and the field system collapsed, and the conscription system was abolished and became conscription. The people take the army as their business, and they have been under a general for more than ten years, and they are gradually attached to it, which is the root cause of the weakness of the inner court and the family's ability to usurp the military power of the battalion army. The annexation of land, which cannot be suppressed for thousands of years, is often effective at the beginning, and after several generations, the land system gradually collapses. I practiced the system of military households in Jiangning, and the soldiers and soldiers in Jiangning were all recruited from the military households, and the military households were under the jurisdiction of the Soldiers and Horses of the Changshi Mansion, so as to remove the drawbacks in the battalion guard military system, and also eliminate the hidden dangers of the powerful ministers and generals separating the localities. ”

Fang Su asked: "The authority is divided among the family, but where is the co-government embodied?" ”

Xu Ruyu smiled and said, "The co-government is to divide some authority from the divisions. ”

Fang Su also laughed and said: "Listening to you, I can also understand one or two, the world belongs to Jiangning, you are the king, and Zhu Si is really another virtual king." However, in my opinion, the priests are the representatives of the family, and the authority will gradually shift to the side of the priests, to the detriment of the royal family. ”

Xu Ruyu nodded and said, "Zisu can see it. Whoever became the emperor Yanjing wanted his descendants to be emperors for thousands of years, but Zisu looked at the thousands of years, which dynasty was the emperor who did not cut off the blood of the rebels and usurpers. If there is no male in the future generations, the authority will gradually be lost, but it is another way to preserve the bloodline. ”

"You are the only fool in the world who can see it thoroughly."

Xu Ruyu chuckled lightly and said: "The world is divided into four points, Jiangning is the weakest, if you can't unite your strength, how can you fight with Nanping and Hulan?" Therefore, it is necessary to be the king on the inside, and the hegemony on the outside. If the family is attached to Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning has his place, if you want to go backwards, you can only be crushed into dust. ”

Fang Su pondered and said: "Set the county to seize the power of the family, concentrate all the authority of the world in one place, and then use the technique of decentralization to return the authority of the world to the family." This technique of centralization and decentralization can be described as the ultimate in checks and balances. ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Not necessarily, the enlightenment of the people in the future will not satisfy the authority of the world and let the family and the royal family enjoy it exclusively." If the royal family was really surnamed Xu, I would have hoped that the royal family at that time would only have a false name, so that there would be no need to squat in the crater. Sighed, and said, "The family is divided, and disputes arise suddenly for the benefit of a land, and no one has been able to change this pattern for more than a hundred years. The hegemony of internal affairs is to respect the family alone and suppress the rest of the forces in the jurisdiction, so how can all the forces in the territory be integrated, and the politicians of the Southern Fujian Sect are an example. ”

Fang Su said: "Can you use the royal way of checks and balances to persuade the Fan Zhu family? ”

Xu Ruyu said: "I'm afraid it's not easy, Gongliang Youqin threatens my flank according to Puji and Wenling, Fan Che's heart is like a thief, it's not so easy to convince, and the Zhu family is based on Liyang and Wuzhou, and it is entangled with my Jiangning jurisdiction, and it is connected with Jingbei, even if it wants to surrender, it will also judge the situation, after all, Jiangning's strength is far from being able to compete with Nanping." ”

Fang Su chuckled: "Nanping's troops are more than twice that of Jiangning, and the financial resources are not comparable to Jiangning, I don't know how many soldiers and horses Rong Yanmen will bring into Chengdu and Chongqing this time." ”

"There is not much time left for Rong Yanmen, no less than 200,000."

"Rong Yanmen took away 200,000, Nanping must prepare 80,000 elite soldiers in the south to prevent the Yue clan, and 80,000 soldiers in Jingzhou to prepare for the Huo people, and there are not many soldiers who can be deployed in Jingbei."

"Of course it's not much, otherwise, why do you need Lingfeng Mirror to go to Baishi in person? Rong Yanmen dared to condone me. ”

There was a low whistle from the sentry ship ahead, followed by a horn from the rangers on the right flank to alert the boat.

The mainsail was lowered by a third, and the speed of the ship slowed down suddenly. The elite cavalry on the left and right flanks converged on Xu Ruyu's ship, and the two battleships behind them caught up from both sides, slightly behind the ship's position, supporting the two wings of the ship, and sailing slowly forward together.

Xu Ruyu looked at the river under the starlight and said with a smile: "Luo Boyuan should be coming to pick us up." ”

Jun Zhuoyan, Mei Yingxue, Shao Ruyan and others came out of the cabin and looked ahead.

There was a large bend in front of the river, and only the rangers on the left flank were visible, and the sentinel boats and the ranger on the right flank were blocked by the high embankment on the bend.

The ship turned around the bend and saw a pair of torches burning on the bank of the river two miles ahead. The sentinel ship and the six scouts in front of them met them, and the ships and frigates, as well as the elite horsemen on the shore on both wings, stopped and waited for the outpost to summon them.

Xu Ruyu's injuries have not healed, but the five senses are unhindered, so far away, Xu Ruyu and Mei Yingxue were the first to see Luo Boyuan under the torch, the girl in military uniform next to him was probably Jun Zhuoyan's young daughter Huaguang, and there were about three or four hundred people waiting on the embankment in front of him.

The sound of a whining horn sounded like the roar of a ferocious beast in the middle of the night.

The boat started slowly again and continued to move forward. Walking to the side of the people who greeted him, Xu Ruyu found that there was a fork in the river that turned north. Xu Ruyu pointed to the sparkling river in the north, turned around and looked at Jun Zhuoyan, and asked, "This water leads to Junjiabao?" ”

Jun Zhuoyan said: "In the past, the Jun family lived on water, although the name of the Junjia Fort is the Fort, in fact, the Wubao is connected, this fork of the river goes up six or seven miles, there is a lake of hundreds of acres, and most of the Jun family's fleet is parked there. ”

Luo Boyuan and the girl in military uniforms boarded the boat, Jun Zhuoyan took the girl's hand and came to Xu Ruyu and said, "My lord, this is the little girl Huaguang." ”

Hua Guang knelt down on one knee, raised his head, looked at Xu Ruyu's calm and calm face with dark eyes, and said: "The adults are famous in the East China Sea, and Hua Guang is eager to see the adults, and now he will get what he wants." ”

Xu Ruyu smiled, stretched out his hand to support it, and said, "You don't have to be so formal. Turning his head and Jun Zhuoyan smiled and said, "I have earned some false fame in the East China Sea." ”

Junhuaguang's face darkened, he stood up and stepped back, and quickly glanced at Shao Ruyan, who was next to Xu Ruyu, only to feel that her face was like a shining star in this dark night.

Luo Boyuan and Jun Huaguang retired, disembarked and led the troops. The fleet moved slowly in the deep night, the wind gradually fading, but the sound of the boat on the water was like a heavenly sound.

When she arrived at Junjiabao, Shao Ruyan's eyes were weak and lowered, and her expression was tired.

Xu Ruyu asked Song Qian to lead Shao Ruyan to rest, and he stayed in the conference hall with Fang Su, Jun Zhuoyan and others.

Although the Jun family is very deep in Fan*, the Jun family is not very familiar with Fanyang's military defense, and is not very familiar with the infiltration of the Hulan rangers, and there are many places that need to be rearranged.

Zhao Jingyun returned to the council hall with Luo Boyuan to inspect the defense and sentry inside and outside Junjiabao.

More than ten tall candles as thick as a baby's arm will be twenty steps deep The spacious hall is as brilliant as day, Xu Ruyu stood there with his hands in his hands, and Fang Su and Jun Zhuoyan whispered on the side.

Although he set foot on the land of Fanyang, Xu Ruyu never revealed his meaning to everyone, and Zhao Jingyun also thought about it.

Xu Ruyu looked up and saw Zhao Jingyun and Luo Boyuan walking in, his expression perked up, and he broke free from his thoughts from the meditation of the right talent.

Zhao Jingyun said: "My lord, the defenses inside and outside the fort have been properly arranged, and the scout sentry of Hulan cannot penetrate within ten miles. ”

Xu Ruyu nodded to show that he understood. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "At this time, you don't have to care about the Hulan sentinels, the news of my coming to Fanyang should reach the ears of the Hulan people, and the Hulan people in Yanmen Pass and Yancheng should move." ”

Zhao Jingyun said: "Jingyun also thought that the Hulan people would pass through Beigukou. ”

"Oh."

"There are three major forces south of Yanmen, including the Han family, Liu Gui, and the Northern Tang Dynasty, and the Hulan people in Yanmen Pass dare not take it lightly, so most of this way is just a bluff. There are two roads into Fanyang from the northern foot of Yanshan in Yancheng, one is Yuguan, the terrain is too dangerous at that time, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is no strange soldiers, it is difficult to take it. It's Gubeikou, the terrain is easier, Hulan Kou is secluded, and there are ten ** people who pass ...... from there" Speaking of this, Zhao Jingyun stopped.

Xu Ruyu looked at his eyes staring at a certain empty place, and said, "Did you find something incomprehensible in it?" ”

Zhao Jingyun nodded: "Jingyun thought that Hulan also wanted to fight with the Cai family, and wanted to use this to defeat Fan Yang's will to resist, but he only marched from Beigukou, and there were no conditions for a big war in the near future." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "To the south of Yuguan are Guzhu and Lingzhi, further south are Fanyang and Jinmen, and southwest are Juyong Pass and Zijing Pass. Fanyang Siyi and three towns, with a radius of thousands of miles, but the strategic situation is that the three cities of Fanyang, Juyong and Yuguan are supported. ”

Zhao Jingyun suddenly understood, and said, "My lord is saying that Hulan will attack Yuguan...... More than that, the Hulan cavalry of Yancheng crossed the Beigukou and made a detour between Lingzhi and Yuguan, while the infantry attacked the north of Yuguan. There was a huge middle route army to deter Fan Yang from the south, but there was no danger in Yancheng's division of troops. If Fan Yang sends troops to aid Yuguan, he will only fight a decisive battle with the powerful Hulan Iron Cavalry in the open area south of Yuguan, if he does not send aid, the 5,000 defenders in Yuguan Pass will not be able to hold much time by virtue of the natural danger of Yuguan. ”

Xu Ruyu nodded and said, "In the direction of Yuguan, there are many scouts, as long as the Hulan Iron Cavalry crosses the Gubei Pass, we will go to Fanyang." ”

Fang Su was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Ru Yu chose to enter Fanyang at that time?" ”

"Exactly. There are a total of 500 war horses here, Wei Yan and Wenlong have arrived in Fanyang at about this time, Wenlong will be potential in Fanyang City, Wei Yan can't bear the surname, so let him come to Jinmen, and when the time comes, I will take these 500 to ride into Fanyang. ”

Listening to his tone, he knew that his mind had been decided, and Fang Su was no longer speaking to dissuade him, Fan Yang still had good intentions towards Xu Ruyu but the king of Beijing County, and everyone else had ill intentions, so they needed to be carefully arranged.

Zhao Jingyun thought of Xu Ruyu's actions to Cai Hui on the boat, and said secretly: My lord has already made up his mind.

The sons of the Cai family competed for succession, and Cai Hui was the most difficult to get ahead, so among the sons of the Cai family, he should be the weakest hostile to Xu Ruyu.

In the face of the pressure of the Hulan army, Cai Hui's will to resist was the weakest.

When he understood that the situation of Youji was irretrievable, most of them did not have the determination to live and die with Youji. Thinking of Cai Hui's look when he left the ship, Zhao Jingyun pouted and smiled, and said secretly: There is mediation in the Jun's family, and this matter can probably be done. glanced at Jun Zhuoyan and said, "Are you annoying that the monarch will take a trip to Jinmen City?" ”

In his early years, Jun Zhuoyan colluded with the Cai family and married his eldest daughter to Cai Hui, feeling guilty. From the moment Cai Hui got on the boat, Jun Zhuoyan had the meaning of saying something from it, but no one mentioned it, and it was inconvenient for him to take the initiative to speak. At this time, seeing Zhao Jingyun mention it, he said happily: "Zhuo Yan is willing to go." ”
