Marquis Zheng walked down the steps, and when he came to Sun Ying's side, he said:

"Ben Hou doesn't plan to delay too much."

Sun Ying immediately kowtowed,

Road:

"Ying can leave with Master Hou now."

forthwith

Sun Ying turned to his brother Sun Liang,

With his hands folded in front of him,

Said solemnly:

"Brother, the aftermath of my father and aunt will be handled by my brother."

Sitting on the ground, Sun Liang, who was a little unconscious, finally understood everything at this time.

Father, he left suddenly, but in fact, it was not an accident, but premeditated.

Sun Liang felt that he should hate his eldest brother now, but found that he couldn't hate it at all.

Big brother, is very good;

If the eldest brother can re-enter the office, then the Sun family can be regarded as truly inherited, which is the father's choice.

in a word

Under a thousand questions,

In the face of the solemn plea of the eldest brother,

Sun Liang also knelt and sat up, folded his hands in front of him, and solemnly returned the salute.

The eldest brother is leaving, he is going to follow Master Hou, and he can't participate in his father's funeral.

In Sun Liang's heart, there was a feeling of relaxation at this time.

He knows his ability, after losing his father, it is difficult for him to be alone, and now, the eldest brother is standing in front of him, and his burden is lighter.

"Inform Lord Taishou for me, and say that Ben Hou is on the way first."

Zheng Fan gave Sun Liang another command, and walked out of Sun's house with the Sword Saint.

And Sun Ying,

Then he called two of his servants, prepared a carriage, and sent him out of the city.

Clothes, boots, everything, should have been prepared a long time ago.

He knew that Pingxi Hou would pass through Yingdu today,

So

After learning the news of his father's departure, he red-eyed and motioned to the servants who accompanied him to pack his bags.

Therefore, this walk is not too hasty.

Marquis Zheng went out of the city? Meet the team? After waiting for Sun Ying for a while, he didn't arrange someone to escort him back to Fengxin? Is it that the team is set off immediately? Continue west.

………

The wheat waves in autumn, in the eyes of poetry? Is that a kind of scenery, at most it expresses some "compassion for the peasants"? Shelving as a façade? It's like a plate of carefully carved cucumbers or tofu around the edges, which looks good, but no one will move their chopsticks there.

And this scene, in the eyes of Marquis Zheng? It's a different kind of plot.

Profession habits, right?

I always feel that

Make up for it, save it again, raise it again, and raise it again, three years later? You will be able to open the country again.

Feudal officials, herdsmen for the Son of Heaven? A pastoral word already explains everything.

Ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment? Cang Lishi taught them to know etiquette again, but this effect was too slow? And in the middle of history? It's really not on the table;

Day? It will be enough to pass, and the next step is to satisfy your ambitions.

Grain and grass, people's husbands, money and grain, soldiers,

Opening up the territory and destroying the country, writing a book to pass on, this is the real pursuit.

Zheng Fan and his entourage, resting in a post station, notified the post station in advance, and emptied the other guests, only messengers and the like can change horses to eat as usual.

The Marquis of Pingxi has this pomp.

In one more day, you will be in Litian City.

After dinner, Marquis Zheng leaned back in his chair with tea beside him.

Sun Ying sat in a wheelchair she brought out of home and waited by Zheng Fan's side.

Zheng Fan came out this time, and the military advisor at home didn't bring any of them.

First, because the family has a large stall, there is no shortage of people, the blind and the inseparable, and they have to deal with a lot of things every day.

again

This time in Beijing, there is not much room for horizontal jumping.

As Zheng Fan said to the Sword Saint before, he just went to follow Lao Tian, what does Lao Tian mean, what does he mean.

Therefore, it doesn't make much sense to bring a military advisor or not.

Now, with Sun Ying by his side, he can share the task of sharing the staff officer a little.

Of course, Zheng Fan didn't bother to introduce to him the situation of the Hou Mansion and the goals of the Hou Mansion, all of which had to be done by Sun Ying to go and learn and ask others.

And along the way, Zheng Fan didn't communicate much with Sun Ying, lukewarm, while Sun Ying knew where he should be when and where, even if Hou Ye didn't say a word, he should stay by the side.

As a staff member,

Not only to give advice to the main family, but also to take on the responsibilities of talking, playing chess, and playing the piano.

Unless you rely on your own ability, soar to the sky, and get a higher treatment, otherwise, these things are what you should do, and don't take any identity before you prove your worth.

"Along the way, what do you think of Jindi now?"

Marquis Zheng asked.

Sun Ying immediately replied:

"There is already a sign of living with the people."

Zheng Fan bowed slightly.

Sun Ying said again: "But Ying heard that the drought in Yandi this year is still serious. ”

"Yes, the household department, I'm still worried, this year, I almost have to rely on the subsidy of Jindi."

"That's good news for our Hou Mansion."

"Where's the good news?" Zheng Fan looked at Sun Ying and continued unhurriedly, "The money and grain given by the imperial court have to be reduced, or simply kept for apportionment, after all, the battle has been fought for almost a year, and it can be settled." ”

"Master Hou, the folk wheat customers all know that whoever eats grain and takes whom's reward will work for whomever to harvest wheat; The Hou Mansion has a strong innate independence, and the court is stuck and cut off money and grain, and the status of the Hou Mansion is naturally more transcendent. ”

Zheng Fan shook his head,

Road:

"In this world, how can there be such a simple thing, besides, you should eat, you should drink, maybe in your opinion, this is a good thing, but in Ben Hou's view, it is a headache to reduce the input."

Sun Ying nodded, he joined halfway, and he hadn't been to Fengxincheng yet, so talking about some things and making some plans would inevitably be superficial.

And Zheng Fan's words are equivalent to telling Sun Ying that the Pingxi Hou Mansion is completely in the hands of his Hou Ye lineage, and the imperial court is powerless to divide and meddle at the moment.

Therefore, the money and grain of the imperial court are pure supplements.

"What Ben Hou is worried about now is our Majesty, and his heart has not completely rested."

When Sun Ying heard this, her face showed hesitation.

"You can say whatever you want, in front of Ben Hou, there has always been a saying that you don't shy away."

"Yes, Hou Ye, when Ying first came, there are some things that can only be analyzed at the extreme of the technique, in order to add inspiration to Hou Ye."

"Tell me about it."

The savage king once commented on the eldest son of the Sun family, saying that this man, in the grasp of subtleties, is not as good as a blind man, which means that he is not good at mundane affairs; In terms of overall control, it is not as good as the master.

Of course, the lord here should actually be his inseparable.

But the savage king finally said that there are countless ways to put a fish in different places and even in different people's tastes, let alone a person?

Strategists and strategists, since ancient times, there have been those who are good at subtle and decisive victories, and there are also those who are good at finding another way to come to the pen, the savage king believes that Sun Ying is the latter, in the words of the Xia people, can be called a poisoner.

"Hou Ye, Ying's opinion on the situation in the court, naturally Hou Ye can't go deeper, since Hou Ye is sitting in this position and has concerns in this regard, it must be reasonable.

So

Ying dared to guess on Hou Ye's premonition.

Hou Ye had a hunch that His Majesty Emperor Yan might be old and strong, that is to say, this time the two kings and two marquis entered Beijing, it may not be as simple as the outside world rumors, just to set a national capital.

But with the status of the Hou Ye and the intelligence gathering ability of the Hou Mansion, if you want to start a national war again, it will definitely not work without preparing in advance.

As the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass have gone first, and it is impossible to conceal this kind of preparation.

After a war, as long as more than 10,000 regular troops are dispatched, and then tens of thousands of people are mobilized, carrying heavy grain, grass and ordnance, it is absolutely impossible to do it quietly.

So

This war,

It can be fought very quickly, or, again, it is a thousand-mile rush. ”

Zheng Fan's eyes were half-narrowed, looking at Sun Ying, his fingers lightly tapped on the arm of the chair, and motioned to continue.

"Your Majesty wants to use soldiers, where can you use them? Snowfield, not needed;

Qianguo?

Where are the important towns on the three sides, Zu Zhuming, the marshal of the East China Sea, personally led the three sides;

Chu?

South of Shanggu County, on the banks of the Wei River, two Zhu State commanders sat in town;

These two places are not an overnight effort, and the results cannot be seen unless the power of the whole country is fought, and it is a national war!

Out of the South Gate?

Outside the South Gate, there are many small countries, but they are just small fish and shrimp, they are in, can be a buffer between the big countries, and once the big countries are destroyed, they can be passed on to the table, and the dishes are too small, not on the table of His Majesty Emperor Yan.

Looking around,

There is only one left. ”

Zheng Fan's eyes widened a little,

Yes, there is only one left.

Sun Ying struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Master Hou, only the barbarians can meet this condition, the desert is boundless, fighting the barbarians, running thousands of miles at every turn, logistics, no, there is no logistics at all."

Zhenbei Houfu has stood in the desert for a hundred years, why can it suppress the barbarians?

Without him,

In fact, in fact, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion turned itself into a new desert royal court in the formulation of the system of the first Zhenbei Hou, and for a hundred years, it has been fighting the barbarians in the way of barbarians.

After all, since the horse stepped on the gate valve, the grain and grass of the people in various places are not known, but Beifeng County has only mobilized half of the Zhenbei army, but it has never sent grain and people!

The military situation and landform, the Hou Mansion must also be clear!

Fight, fight the barbarians, fight the royal court of the barbarians!

Ying tastes and smells,

The barbarian old king is a heroic character, who has devoted his life to regaining the glory of the royal court, forbearance for this, and vertical and horizontal for this, showing the rare political skills of the barbarians;

He has been dormant all his life, and when he is old, he will push his youngest son, known as the desert eagle, to pave the way for his son with his life.

That little prince of the barbarian clan was also called the four famous generals of the younger generation together with you, Master Hou.

Fight the barbarians,

If it is opposed to all the barbarian tribes, it will inevitably be a big war, a national war that is not inferior to or even surpasses that of Chu and Qian!

but

What if it's just a royal court?

Prepare without grain and grass,

Don't start it with a people's husband,

Won't startle snakes,

Just ........."

Zheng Fan opened his mouth and said, "You only need, bet." ”

One way of the elite, or rather, three of the elite came out together, thousands of miles of attack, strangled the royal court.

This is a gamble that can only be won, and peace and loss are destined to be wiped out.

Zheng Fan's heart suddenly rose a layer of gloom.

"Master Hou, my subordinates have always pondered the temperament of His Majesty Emperor Yan, this is a proud emperor, the more proud people are, the more they want to solve all difficulties before their own death, leaving the best situation for future generations.

Over the years,

Dayan Iron Cavalry attacked Qian, destroyed Jin, cut Chu, and chased the field,

But for hundreds of years,

The knife that really hangs above the head of the big swallow,

Actually, it comes from the desert!

This is based on what your subordinates said Hou Ye, do you think that His Majesty Emperor Yan may not be satisfied yet, and on the basis of the need to move troops, it is probably whimsical, but now, Ying can only say whatever she has in her head. ”

His father, with his own life, paved the way for him again, in his heart, he was actually under pressure.

He has to use his own ability to prove that his father's sacrifice is right.

At the same time, he can't rebel yet, otherwise, he will be sorry for his father.

Zheng Fan picked up the teacup,

Road:

"Drink tea."

"Master Xie."

Sun Ying picked up the teacup, the tea was cold;

But Marquis Zheng has never pursued tea, and the only thing he relates about is Daze fragrant tongue;

The tea is cold, just drink it as herbal tea, practice martial arts in this life, and have good physical fitness, and have no chance with warm water wolfberry for the time being.

Sun Ying is also drinking tea silently, he actually likes these enjoyments, but at this time, he naturally doesn't care about this.

Put down the teacup,

Sun Ying saw that Zheng Fan was still thinking,

Continued:

"Master Hou, you must know His Majesty Emperor Yan better than your subordinates, and you know better than your subordinates what kind of king Your Majesty is.

Putting aside all external factors,

Purely from His Majesty Emperor Yan,

You can get three points of proof! ”

"Three o'clock?" Zheng Fan smiled and put the teacup down, "I really can't change this habit, it's a few things at every turn." ”

"The subordinates will change."

"It's okay, Ben Hou just said casually, you continue, which three points."

"The first point, Your Majesty is good at secretly accumulating momentum to seek thunder, like a real dragon soaring in the sky, first laying clouds, then thunder, and finally, in an instant, heavy rain pours down, and the earth becomes a ze."

"Just talk, you are a Jin person, there is no need to pat yourself like this."

"Master Hou, in fact, his subordinates really admire His Majesty Emperor Yan, and he is really the lord of the ages.

In the early years, the imperial court and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion confronted each other, and the two sides Chen soldiers were close to war, but then they stepped on the door with one hand;

The Yan army rode into the dry army, and the momentum was like a bamboo, almost hitting the upper and lower capitals, but the main force of the Yan army took the South Gate Pass and trampled half of the Jin land;

negotiated peace with the Chu people, and the national strength and people's livelihood dried up, but under the pretext that the three princes died to save the driver, they forcibly provoked a national war, which caught the Chu State by surprise.

Thus

If you want to fight,

It must be to pick an object that the world can't guess,

also

Barbarians. ”

"The second point."

"The second point is that Your Majesty has a cold temperament."

When saying this evaluation, Sun Ying deliberately paid attention to Zheng Fan's expression, and saw that Zheng Fan had not changed anything because of his disrespectful words, so he relieved himself and continued:

"This point, Lord Hou will only understand better than me, it is rumored in the world that His Majesty loves the Six Princes the most, but how His Majesty treated the Six Princes a few years ago still has all kinds of secrets......

In the past two years,

His Majesty first wrote several warnings to the barbarian king, and the barbarian king did not stir up the situation when Dayan used troops several times, and the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding.

Moreover, the little prince of the barbarian tribe offered gold armor and brute swords, and called His Majesty uncle;

At last

The eldest prince married a barbarian princess, and the princess gave birth to an heir, and the palace was treated very favorably.

When the eldest prince was named Marquis because of his military exploits, he was originally in the west, but he was named Marquis Anton, and you, the Marquis in the easternmost part, were given the title of Marquis of Pingxi.

Although the southeast, northwest, symbolizing the four directions of heaven and earth, is not limited by direction, but this also reveals an emotion of taking care of the barbarian son-in-law of the eldest prince, taking care of the barbarian princess, and taking care of the face of the barbarian royal court.

You know,

When Dacheng was still there,

The first emperor led the main force of Chengguo out of the pass to attack the savages, and when the rear was empty, why didn't Dayan take the opportunity to enter?

Master Hou, you also followed the King of Jingnan to Shengle out of the sky, broke the mountain into the snowfield, and helped fight a battle of strategy.

Here's the pattern,

Your Majesty's pattern,

The pattern of the Son of Heaven!

The subordinates will not feel that the Son of Heaven with this pattern will really fight with the barbarians for the sake of the attack he wants and his own unification, ease the relationship, and even turn the conflict into a jade silk.

The more Your Majesty treats anyone,

The more proof it is about to use the knife against whom!

this

It's the Emperor's Mind! ”

Zheng Fan asked, "What about the third point?" ”

Sun Ying took a deep breath,

In my mind,

suddenly appeared on the rainy night in Yingdu half a month ago,

He leaned against the door,

On the other side of the door panel is the old father sitting on the steps with an umbrella.

The father and son sat back to back as if across a door.

"What about the third point?"

The old lady asked.

"And a third point?" Sun Ying behind the door panel was a little puzzled, "Father, I only thought of these two points. ”

"Imperial Mental Technique, Imperial Mental Technique, you, it's still not enough.

The emperor's mental trick does not refer to playing the court between the palms, fighting the ministers with power, and fighting factions with factions.

It's not checks and balances, it's not co-optation, it's not support,

It's not that after doing this,

I sit peacefully behind the scenes, thinking that I am smart, and I think that I have the means to control the situation.

Imperial Mind,

It's not just that the king's ministers have to die,

but

Jun gives you a chance,

Let you die as you deserve!

This third point,

is a must-have,

To you,

To that one,

This third point is particularly important.

The duel of martial artists in the rivers and lakes often pays attention to the opening three-board axe, these three-board axes are played well, and the road in the future can go smoothly, in order to really enter the curtain, in order to really let people look up to you, and put you in the position of the master and strategist, instead of drinking tea and talking and chatting to relieve boredom. ”

"Father, what is the third point?"

In the rain,

Sun Youdao smiled,

Reached

pointed to the west,

This is the material of the ruler who once assisted the king in creating the foundation,

With the wisdom of his life, he gave the third point.

"If you fight the barbarians, who is suitable to lead the troops?"

Behind the door panel,

Sun Ying immediately came to her senses,

Road:

"King Jingnan!"

Sun Youdao nodded,

sighed again,

Slowly get up,

Road:

"With this third point, you can become a strategist under the Pingxi Hou Mansion."

"Father, how can it be so simple, my father is sure that the marquis will lift my grounding and take me with him to keep me?

Taping Xihou Mansion,

There can be no shortage of counsellors. ”

"Son."

"Father's ......"

"Actually, Dad has never blamed you, really, Dad has never blamed you for acting on your own and letting Daddy's name be tarnished, in fact, Dad doesn't care about that.

Dad is actually very pleased, when you were a child, Dad stayed by the emperor's side, plotted for the emperor, and neglected to discipline you;

But you, in fact, didn't disappoint Dad, really.

Ah Liang is an honest person, and Dad, only in you did you see the shadow of your youth.

Remember

It's not because you're stupid, you're stupid;

No

You're not stupider than your father, really, you're much smarter than your father was when he was younger.

It's just that

It's different.

The general trend is not in Jin, not in Chengguo. ”

"Daddy......"

"Dad is tired, go back to rest, last night, Dad dreamed of the emperor, hehe."

………

"Master Hou, this third point is, if you want to make this big gamble, as far as His Majesty Emperor Yan is concerned, who is the most suitable person to lead the troops in this big gamble?

Who wants to go, who wants to go, who ...... I'm determined to go!

who

went,

Win or lose,

For all,

It's all a relief. ”

Zheng Fan's eyes slowly closed.

Sun Ying picked up the herbal tea again and prepared to drink water.

Marquis Zheng, who had his eyes closed, spoke;

"The tea is cold, Siniang, add water."
