On the afternoon of the day she was sent off Guan Xue'er, Yan Ruoyu arrived at the Yin Pavilion.

Ye Teng knew that she must have something, whether it was private or official, it was not suitable to speak in public, so he welcomed her into the study.

When she brought tea into the study, Agarwood's expression was somewhat unnatural, but because Yan Ruoyu had something on her mind, she just glanced at her in surprise and didn't say anything.

After Agarwood went out, Yan Ruoyu didn't pick up the teacup, just sat there, pursing her lips, Ye Teng knew that she must have something difficult to say, so he just looked at her calmly.

After a full minute or so, she seemed to have made up her mind, raised her head to meet Ye Teng's gaze, and said, "You follow Guan Xue'er?" ”

Ye Teng chuckled: "You care so much about this matter, do you think it's possible?" ”

"Nonsense, can I not care?" Yan Ruoyu grabbed Bai Dao, "As for the possibility, now almost all the forces in Huaxia have the power on the table, and they all treat you as a couple." And the matter is clear, and the old head of Shangguan is also optimistic about this matter! ”

Ye Teng said: "The times forced me and Shangguan Xue'er, and we must tell the world that we have a special relationship." Otherwise, both forces inside and outside China will pounce on the Shangguan family and put pressure on them. I have no power and no power in the real world, but now I have become Tang monk's meat, and the Shangguan family wants to take advantage of it exclusively, so I have to give everyone a reasonable reason. You know, there are so many forces next to you who want to take a bite! ”

Yan Ruoyu said curiously: "Don't tell me, you went in and out in pairs this time, just to brush your presence in front of everyone." ”

Ye Teng replied, "That's not it. This time, I helped the Shangguan family arrest a prefecture-level military general to repay the asylum. ”

"Ground-level generals? Who is it? Yan Ruoyu asked.

"Forbidden!" Ye Teng said.

Yan Ruoyu was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Shangguan Xue'er is still a good head, why can't I think of it!" Yu Ban can be said to be the most valuable military general who can be forced to surrender. ”

Ye Teng said: "Not only did you not expect it, didn't I think of it?" If it weren't for the inertial thinking, he felt that Cao Cao's subordinates had no hope of surrendering. Otherwise, I would have taken action to catch Yu Ban myself. Alas, why didn't he remember that he was forced to surrender by Guan Yu?

"However, this news ends here, and it is not allowed to spread to the outside world again, I don't want to merge with Cao Mengde for the state alliance yet."

Yan Ruoyu nodded lightly and said, "Got it!" ”

For this, Ye Teng is still relieved, Yan Ruoyu is not a person who does not know the importance.

Shangguan Xue'er's matter was revealed, but Ye Teng felt that Yan Ruoyu must have other things, because with her intelligence, it was impossible to ask the teacher specifically for Shangguan Xue'er's matter, or ask for an explanation. So, he looked at her fixedly and waited for her to speak.

Yan Ruoyu continued: "I came here this time, mainly to ask you when it is appropriate to help me fight Xihe County." ”

Ye Teng thought for a moment and said, "You must have discussed this issue internally, I just want to ask, after the battle, do you have enough troops to hold it?" Are there enough officials to govern? ”

Yan Ruoyu shook her head and said, "Frankly speaking, at most, eat two or three more counties, otherwise you will definitely suffer from indigestion." More precisely, two counties should be fine, and three counties will be stretched. ”

It seems that no matter which force is not very trusting of the player's governance place, otherwise, if the number of players in the Yan family is used, the civil official talent should not be less than himself, after all, the literacy rate of NPCs is outrageously low, and the players at least have received compulsory education, and literacy and arithmetic must be no problem.

Ye Teng analyzed: "Xihe County has jurisdiction over ten counties, including Lishi, Pingding, Gaowolf, Meiji, Yuanxian, Pingzhou, Guangyan, Lin County, Zhongyang and Fuchang. Today, the two counties of Pingding and Gaowolf are under the governance of the Yan family.

"As far as I know, after the Huns withdrew, the two counties of Meiji and Guangyan north of Pingding County were in a semi-power vacuum, why don't you take these two counties first to accumulate more experience and cultivate more officials?"

Yan Ruoyu struggled: "We have indeed discussed this issue internally, but many people tend to take the Zhizhi Lishi first, as well as the relatively wealthy Lin County and Zhongyang in the south, after all, there are not only large populations, rich economies, and more talents. ”

Ye Teng asked: "With the Yan family's own strength, can they capture Lishi, Lin County, and Zhongyang?" ”

Yan Ruoyu said: "No, at most, you can capture one county, and you may suffer heavy losses." ”

Ye Teng's face sank. It seems that it was the father and son of the Yan family who went back and revealed the news that they were willing to help them attack the city, and then some high-level officials of the Yan family considered the combat power of Tianma City into the Yan family's siege force.

The key is that except for Yan Ruoyu, no one is sure that he is the son-in-law of the Yan family, but why do they feel that they contribute to it, so naturally?

Ye Teng stared at Yan Ruoyu and said solemnly: "Ruoyu, if nothing happens, only you and I know about my possession of the Divine Stone Space."

"My plan is to wait for me to capture Taiyuan and Shangdang County, and then help the Yan family attack one or two difficult bones. Because my subordinates are all NPCs, if you conquer one or two counties, even if outsiders have suspicions, they are only suspicious.

"But the Yan family is different, there are many people with mixed mouths, if the divine stone space is used too much, it is inevitable to deduce something for others. If I help you to leave Shi and other counties first, the best result is that Taiyuan and Shangdang have strengthened their vigilance, making me pay some more costs, and the worse result is almost impossible to reverse.

"If that's all there is to it, that's it. The point is, I think the Yan family's mentality is wrong. In the troubled times, if you don't have confidence in the dominant side based on your own strength, I advise the Yan family to quickly find a force to take refuge and become a subsidiary force, why bother to work hard to become a second-level prince? ”

Speaking of this, Ye Teng paused for a moment, seeing that Yan Ruoyu's face was not very good-looking, but her lips were tense and she did not speak.

But Ye Teng is still determined to make things clear: "In troubled times, the first thing to rely on is yourself, if you don't have this determination, how to go on in the future?"

"In my opinion, the Yan family should rely on its own strength to win a few counties, lay a solid foundation, and achieve the atmosphere of the princes, so as to win the respect of all allies. On this basis, I will give some more help, and others will not say anything.

Otherwise, no matter who this help comes from, the Yan family will inevitably give people the impression that things happen because of people. Such a Yan family is not worthy of respect.

"Besides, some of the high-level officials of the Yan family, I'm afraid they only think I'm your classmate, right? Why, then, do they take help from me for granted? ”

Yan Ruoyu's face was a little pale, and she said, "I understand what you mean." ”

Ye Teng saw that she was in a low mood, stepped forward and pulled her up, grabbed her arms with both hands, and looked into her eyes: "Ruoyu, you are my lover, I am willing to pay for you, and I can also help the Yan family." But you have to understand that the Yan family, as a force, is not the same concept as you.

"I'm worried that if you don't ask the top management to establish an independent spirit from the beginning, it will be difficult for the Yan family to become a respectable force, and you will eventually be caught in the middle, in a dilemma!"

Yan Ruoyu grabbed Ye Teng's arms with her backhand and said, "I understand, although the words are not good, I think you are right!" ”

Ye Teng nodded, Yan Ruoyu could understand.

There was one sentence he didn't tell Yan Ruoyu, he helped the Yan family attack Lishi, and he would choose a time that no one expected, and then notify the Yan family to accept it, in order to avoid the exposure of the divine stone space to the greatest extent. Instead of acting at the invitation of the Yan family.
