Chapter 716: Sophistry
The oil lamp flickered, and the Guigumen master and apprentice were talking about the most eye-catching war of the day under the lonely lamp.
Han Mo had to admire Zhuang Yuan's insight and wisdom, he was a brother, living in seclusion in a small village, but he had a clear view of the general trend of the world, and he analyzed it extremely thoroughly, which also made Han Mo truly see what the wisdom of the ghost valley is.
"The teacher mentioned earlier that I, Dayan, will not be just a spectator. Does the teacher think that I, the Yan Kingdom, will eventually be drawn into this war? Han Mo touched his chin and asked thoughtfully.
"Judging from Wei Guo's movements, it is bound to compete with Qingguo and divide the winner." Zhuang Yuan's dry face, because he talked about the general trend of the world, showed a strange demeanor, "No matter who wins or loses, Yan Guo will not sit back and watch one of them become stronger." Wei Guosheng, in Qingguo to conquer the city, this will be the most undesirable situation for Yan State, no matter how you court argues and hesitates, as long as Wei really captures two or three counties of Qingguo, Xiao Huaiyu will not hesitate, he will definitely go out of Linyang Pass, first cut off the retreat of the Wei army, take Nanyang Pass, and then join forces with the remnants of the Qing army to attack the Wei army. If the Qing army wins and the Wei army is defeated, then there will also be two possibilities, one is to immediately ally with the Qing army, send troops from Nanyang Pass and Wumu River, directly attack Wei, and hit Wei in one fell swoop to Kyoto and destroy Wei. The other is to take advantage of the heavy losses after the long war of Qingguo, and directly start a war against Qingguo, and fight Qingguo first...... The defeat of the Wei State, if you want to recover your vitality, it is not a matter of three years and five years, and in the past few years, it is enough for Xiao Huaiyu to lead your Yan army to take Qingguo. After Qingguo took it, he took advantage of the situation to attack Wei...... With Xiao Huaiyu's ability, it is not impossible to dominate the world in his hands. ”
Regarding Zhuang Yuan's opinion, Han Mo deeply agreed with it in his heart.
Wei Qingyan's Three Kingdoms, the ultimate goal is to dominate the world, if Xiao Huaiyu sees the opportunity, he will definitely not be soft, otherwise he is not Xiao Huaiyu, not a generation of famous generals who move the world!
"It's just my personal thoughts, the situation is changing, and no one can say what happened next." Zhuang Yuan smiled, "Maybe your Yan Kingdom will attack any of them at that time, and the other country doesn't want to see your Yan Kingdom take advantage, but after the war between Wei and Qing, they joined forces to deal with your Yan Kingdom, it is not impossible." ”
Han Mo sighed: "When the students listened to the teacher's words, they suddenly opened their mouths, and they were enlightened!" ”
"People's hearts are unpredictable, and if you understand people's hearts, you will naturally be able to see them clearly." Zhuang Yuan sighed lightly.
Han Mo nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Teacher, there has been a major incident in the DPRK recently, ......!" ”
Zhuang Yuan smiled indifferently: "What's the matter?" ”
"After the neutrality of the DPRK!"
"Immediately?" Zhuang Yuan narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully, and said after a while: "The one who established the Su family is still ...... Your Han family? ”
Han Mo showed surprise and said strangely: "Why doesn't the teacher think that the Xiao family is the queen?" ”
"Naturally not." Zhuang Yuan laughed: "The current Pingguang Emperor of your Yan Kingdom, although he does not have the talent of the heavens and latitudes, and he is not the master of the majestic Tao, but ...... It's not that he is incompetent. ”
For this sentence, Han Mo deeply agreed.
Compared with the emperor of Qingguo, the emperor of Yan seems to be much stronger.
"Xiao Huaiyu's existence has made the Xiao family's status as stable as Mount Tai." Zhuang Yuan said leisurely: "Don't look at how powerful your Yan Kingdom is fighting now, but you want to destroy the Xiao family...... Hehe, if there is no big change, it is impossible. ”
"A big change?"
Zhuang Yuan smiled faintly and didn't explain, but said, "Xiao Huaiyu may not have a heart of disobedience, but what about the rest of the Xiao family?" The current status of the Xiao family has made it difficult for your emperor to sleep and eat, and he naturally cannot be stupid enough to make the Xiao family's mother the queen again, which will do all kinds of harm to the royal family. After a pause, "The position of the queen of your Yan Kingdom is like a golden throne on the fire, although it is noble, it is not comfortable." Thinking about it, Emperor Yan can only choose a concubine from the Su family and your Han family to be established, so that no matter which concubine is established, it will not only increase some strength, but also fall into the ...... of public criticism! ”
"Targeted?" Han Mo was shocked.
Zhuang Yuan nodded and said, "That's nature." As far as I know, after Emperor Pingguang ascended the throne, this harem has always been managed by the concubines of the Xiao family...... Before this, that Concubine Xiao was actually the queen who had no proper name. If Concubine Xiao is the queen this time, in the eyes of most people, it is a logical thing, and Concubine Xiao has been in charge of the harem for many years, and her foundation is stable, she ascended to the queen's throne, although it will also attract the envy of the concubines in the harem, but there should not be too much turmoil in the harem......! He smiled indifferently, "But after the concubines of your Han family or the Su family are established, in the harem, there must not be a foundation like Concubine Xiao, and ...... Unexpectedly, it will inevitably attract great suspicion and jealousy, and become the target of public criticism. Such a situation not only appeared in the harem, but even spread directly to the court......! Seeing Han Mo frowning, he seemed to understand something, and asked lightly, "Make Concubine Han the queen?" ”
Han Mo was already accustomed to Zhuang Yuan's wisdom and nodded.
"You must be against it?" Zhuang Yuan's expression was slightly solemn.
Zhuang Yuan is the Ghost Valley Grandmaster, sitting and watching the world, there was originally no faction, but now he has the status of master and apprentice with Han Mo, and in terms of position, he always has to favor the Han family.
Han Mo hesitated for a moment before he said, "My father is against it, but ...... Uncle didn't speak! ”
Zhuang Yuan frowned slightly, then closed his eyes, and said nothing, obviously considering the reason, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said slowly: "Your father is against it, but he is worried about the entire race, and your uncle is silent, but ...... Something else ambitious! ”
"Ambition?"
Zhuang Yuan shook his head and said calmly: "Why, I can't say it now, and you don't have to know too much." ”
Han Mo saw that Zhuang Yuan didn't say it clearly, knowing that he had his own considerations, and he didn't ask questions, but he was more and more confused in his heart.
"For you, try not to meddle too much these days." Zhuang Yuan advised: "But there are a few things that you have to do quickly. The emperor used your Han family to deal with the Xiao family, and you benefited from it and became the leader of the two important places of the Leopard Camp and the West Flower Hall, and you must seize the opportunity to turn these two places into your own forces...... All the scheming battles will be resolved head-to-head in the end, and at that time, it depends on who is stronger. He smiled faintly and said, "If you can't even grasp the two forces at hand, then you don't have to participate in political affairs anymore, and you should go back to the East China Sea and be happy." ”
Han Mo was embarrassed for a while, his teacher was really straightforward.
"The students are working hard." Han Mo could only say: "In the Leopard Surge Camp, the students are grabbed from the roots, and in the West Flower Hall, the subordinate officials are all directly obeying their superiors, and the main ones are the main ones of the four major departments." If the four major principals are all of the same heart as me, then the West Flower Hall will be equivalent to closing in! ”
Zhuang Yuan smiled and said, "It seems that you are indeed a natural conspirator, and my Guigu can be regarded as a successor." ”
Han Mo hurriedly said: "The teacher has won the award. ”
"No compliments." Zhuang Yuan said: "The army and the spy are two different systems. There are countless officers and soldiers in the army, recruited and recruited, and they are paid, although they are trained by the army, but these countless soldiers are also flesh and blood, and they have their own ideas. In the army, only the high-ranking generals may not be able to control the entire army...... And subduing high-ranking generals in the Royal Forest Army is easy to be known, and it is not good for you. However, if you can secretly gather a large number of middle and low-level generals, it will be much more effective than subduing a few high-level generals......! ”
Han Mo nodded, since taking over the Leopard Assault Battalion, Han Mo has been quietly adjusting the middle and low-level generals, as for the senior generals of the Leopard Assault Battalion, the relationship between them and Han Mo is quite complicated.
Xiao Mu, the leader of the cavalry team, has a close relationship with Han Mo, obeys his words, and the two of them are also people who have gone through life and death together, and their feelings are quite deep, Xiao Mu became the leader of the cavalry team, and he was also personally sponsored by Han Mo, this one is naturally his own person.
Dou Shan, the leader of the escort of the archery team, is a very sleek figure, and it is difficult to discern his heart, but Xue Shao, the guard captain under him, has a great relationship with him, and in the archery team, Xue Shao's influence is also very large.
Only Yang Yonghui, the escort leader of the infantry team, did not know the depths.
Yang Yonghui was voted out, it can be seen that he is extremely capable, and he is very popular in the Leopard Surge Camp, on weekdays, this Yang Yonghui is respectful to Han Mo, but what this person thinks in his heart is difficult to know.
As for the middle and low-level officials in each battalion, Han Mo has made some adjustments, and more than half of the generals are personally promoted by Han Mo, so he is naturally very grateful to Han Mo.
Han Mo promoted these generals, and it was very natural to do it, and most of these generals were also capable people, so the top and bottom of the camp were speechless, not to mention that the senior generals were not easily transferred, everyone naturally only thought that Han Mo was carrying out normal personnel transfers and choosing talented people to take office, not only did he not doubt it, but he also felt that Han Mo was fair in commanding the army.
And those middle and low-level generals who have been promoted, most of them are not children of families, and they have no backers, if they are not promoted by Han Mo, they may not have the opportunity to be promoted, so in the eyes of many soldiers, Han Mo is a meritocracy, and he is indeed a wise commander.
"As for the West Flower Hall, the precepts are much harsher than those of the army, and the officials only know how to act according to orders, and they don't think too much." Zhuang Yuan said: "Therefore, if you collect the four major affairs, you can almost close the West Flower Hall." But the purpose of the West Flower Hall has always been to be loyal to the royal family, and several directors are also loyal and sincere, and it is not easy to accept it, so it depends on your means. ”
Han Mo smiled and nodded, remembering that the prince wanted to use these two forces to win him over, he was not afraid to inform Zhuang Yuan about the prince, with Zhuang Yuan's intelligence, he might be able to see the clues, so he said in a low voice: "In these two places, the prince in the palace seems to be staring." He tried to win me over several times, just because he wanted the Leopard Camp and the West Flower Hall to become his forces. ”
Zhuang Yuan frowned: "Prince Yan? ”
"Yes!"
Zhuang Yuan pondered, shook his head, and said, "I don't know much about this person, and it's hard to understand his heart. ”
Han Mo was not disappointed, in fact, he also understood that although Zhuang Yuan was extremely intelligent, he was not an immortal after all, and Prince Yan's deeds were difficult for even the courtiers of Yan Kingdom to understand, let alone Zhuang Yuan.
Zhuang Yuan has seen through many things, it is nothing more than understanding everyone's temperament and understanding human nature, but he doesn't know anything about Prince Yan, so it is naturally difficult to analyze Prince Yan's thoughts.
"It's just...... You have to be careful! Zhuang Yuan's voice was low: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wants to fight these two places, you have to beware of him planting people here." Especially in the West Flower Hall, you have to be careful of the people who have Prince Yan among them, and you have to be careful that some of them want to empty you! ”
