"Okay, okay, Ji Lao, you are really a rare guest, please come into the house, it's cold outside, go into the house and roast the fire." No wonder Wei Lin was excited, it turned out that Ji Lao was here, when they fled for their lives in the capital, if Ji Lao hadn't secretly sent someone at the city gate, they would have let Cui Mao catch him a long time ago, how could they return to the south safely.

Ji Lao is a great benefactor of her Wei family.

"Mrs. Wei is too polite." As soon as Old Man Ji sat down, An Ran came up with the pastry.

After brewing tea, An Ran asked, "Ji Lao, how are you?" ”

"King Ling is now the crown prince, the emperor doesn't care about anything, the old man is fine, Mrs. Wei doesn't have to remember, it's just ......" Ji Lao sighed lightly after taking a sip of tea.

"Ji Lao, you didn't come to the southern border just to send us an army, right? But you have something to discuss with me? Wei Lin saw that Ji Lao's face was heavy, so he said: "Ji Lao doesn't have to be embarrassed, if you have something, you can say it, when you get home, you don't have to restrain yourself like in the court, just talk freely." ”

"Yes, Ji Lao, although the emperor doesn't care about things now, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the country, many things will definitely hinder you, does Ji Lao need us to do anything? If necessary, just say it, Wei Lin and I will do our best to help. Enron said.

"Don't hide it from your husband and wife, I did have a tricky matter to ask General Wei for advice." Ji Lao pressed his hand and asked Wei Lin and An Ran to sit first, and after they sat down, he continued: "General Wei must have known about the loss of five cities in the north, right? ”

Wei Lin nodded, "You know, does Ji Lao need me to lead troops to recover the lost city?" As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Ji Lao give an order, Wei Lin will definitely lead the troops there, and there is no need for Ji Lao to come in person. ”

Ji Lao waved his hand, "I didn't come to let you lead the troops to recover the lost city in the north, there is no guard in the south, I'm afraid it's going to be chaos, isn't General Situ's hard work in vain?" General Wei, the southern border is the only border that my Pi country holds, and I have never lost a pond or a city in a hundred years, with you guarding the southern border, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I can deal with other affairs with peace of mind, but the situation in the north is too bad, five cities have been lost in half a month, and this battle is too bad. ”

"Why did Elder Ji come in person?" Wei Lin asked.

"General Situ has been stationed in the south for fifteen years, and you have been his deputy general, following him for many years, General Wei, can there be a general who knows how to arrange troops like you can recommend? The court now has no generals to send. Ji Lao sighed.

Wei Lin thought for a while and said: "General Situ is just us people, Ji Lao, why don't I go, give me a year, and I will help the court recover the lost five cities." ”

"You can't move." Ji Lao directly rejected Wei Lin, if Wei Lin could move, he also came to the south to discuss this matter with Wei Lin, "General Situ was martyred, you have been stupid for a year, that is, the army did not get the information at first, and then got the news, didn't it also attack several times, if it wasn't for General Situ's strong garrison, and the veterans below guarded the pass, otherwise, how could Cui Bo keep the peace in the south for a year?" General Wei, the southern border can't leave you. ”

"And how to solve the matter in the north?" If he can't move, then the five lost cities in the north will belong to the Huns?

"I also made a few plans before I came, although I have a little hope, but I also know that it is empty, General Situ loves him like his life, how can the generals under him abandon him and go into hiding?" Ji Lao smiled bitterly at his empty hope, and continued: "Then I can only send my son Ji Han and my grandson Ji Yin to the north, but although they are brave, the terrain in the north is complicated, if you don't know how to deploy troops, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Ji Lao couldn't go on, if the war was fought by brute force and confronted by the Huns, Ji Han and Ji Yin would definitely not be able to fight the nomadic Huns, I heard that the Huns were tall and big, with divine power, and if they were hard to carry the people of Pi Country, they would not be their opponents at all.

The Pi State has always been outwitted in the war, so as to preserve the country's century-old foundation, but the current emperor is lazy in the government and has governed the country for more than 30 years.

Seeing that Ji Lao was so annoyed, Wei Lin also slammed the table hatefully, "If it weren't for General Yan, who was guarding the northern border, who led his troops to take refuge in Cui Yan, how could the northern border be so far?" ”

Doesn't the emperor hate Cui Yan very much? How did he get out of prison? Wei Lin didn't understand.

"Although Cui Yan covered the sky in the court when he was in power, he also had the grace of knowing that General Yan, and I didn't think it was strange that he threw himself into Cui Yan, but I hated the emperor for not listening to my words so much, so that the north suffered such a catastrophe." Ji Lao beat his chest and paused, "If you send someone to the north earlier, why would you lose five cities in a row, and the people will be in dire straits?" ”

"Our emperor has never cared about the people of the world, what he cares about is always whether his throne is stable or not, Wei Lin, Ji Lao doesn't let you go to the north, in fact, it also lets you stay here to preserve your strength, with you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Ji Lao can make the emperor taboo, you have been guarding the southern border, and you are not familiar with the terrain of the north, even if you have a map and a deputy general to help you, you will be uncomfortable when a general stationed in the south dares to fight in the north, I heard that the water in the north is dripping into ice, although you are not afraid of the cold, you have a warm blood, and you will not adapt to the water and soil."

"Ji Lao is worried about you, if something happens to you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be even more worried."

"yes." Or Mrs. Wei understands him, Ji Lao nodded and said.

"But Ji Han and Ji Yin, won't they be unaccustomed to the soil and water if they go? Ji Lao, that's your son and grandson. Wei Lin sighed.

He really admired Ji Lao's selflessness, and would rather protect him and let his relatives face the danger.

"They have been trained in the north for a period of time, and they are more or less familiar with it, and there will be no discomfort, General Wei, I brought them here to let them learn from you to arrange troops, although they are in a hurry, a little bit of pulling out seedlings, and eager to succeed, but except for this method, I have no other way." Ji Laoshi couldn't think of anyone else to send to recover the lost city in the north, the prince had been in power for more than half a month, if he couldn't make any political achievements, not only would the emperor be dissatisfied, but those ministers would also lose their support for the prince's inaction. doll

"The arrangement of troops is decided based on many factors, and it is not enough to understand the terrain and landforms." Wei Lin frowned.

"I can't care so much, Ji Han and Ji Yin It is also a good thing that they can use the terrain and landform to discharge troops to resist the Huns, and then I will let them quickly whip the general's intelligence and you, and you can help them come up with ideas, this is the best way I can think of at the moment." Ji Lao Dao.

Wei Lin saw that Ji Lao was so well-intentioned, so he had to nod and say, "That's the only way." ”

In fact, the south and the north are separated by thousands of miles, and once they come and go, the war is changing rapidly, even if he reports to him, he has already come up with a strategy to deal with the enemy, and if he passes it on, he is afraid that it will not be used.

But Wei Lin knew that since Ji Lao had made this decision, he must have discussed it with Ji Han and Ji Yin, and after not getting his strategy to deal with the enemy, he tried his best to keep the war in its original state, and he must not act rashly.

Ji Lao's heart of worrying about the country and the people is really distressing, if it weren't for the fact that the army has been restless and has been suppressed by heavy troops, Wei Lin wants to go to the north in person, what if the water and soil are not adapted? It's not that there is no military doctor, with a body like him, can't he restrain himself if he doesn't adapt to the water and soil? But Ji Lao has Ji Lao's concerns, the lady is right, if something happens to him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have no support, and the emperor can abolish him if he can, but this is powerful but has nowhere to make it taste, it is really boring.

An Ran saw Wei Lin's face full of anger, and he also knew what he was thinking, so he said: "Wei Lin, you will study with Ji Han and Ji Yin how to arrange the troops in the next few days, and I will help you get a weapon, even if it is a simple arrangement of troops, it can tilt the battle situation in favor of our side and win the battle." ”

"What weapon?" Ji Lao's eyes lit up, and he looked at An Ran with hope.

Wei Lin also cast a curious gaze, not knowing what the weapon the lady was talking about?

Enron said: "Bomb." ”

"Bombs? What is a bomb? Wei Lin and Ji Lao looked at each other.

"It's similar to firecrackers, but it has to be processed, although the lethality is not very large, but a bomb kills two or three is not a problem, if it is mass-produced, tens of thousands of bombs are thrown together, and it is also capable of pouring a large piece." Enron explained.

Although she couldn't make a devastating bomb like a grenade, she should still be able to make a simple homemade bomb, after all, she had done it before, and blew up one of her stepmother's luxury cars, if it weren't for her father's pressure, her mother would have sent her abroad, and it is estimated that she would have gone to jail.

An Ran thought it was funny when he thought he was crazy before.

Wei Lin saw that the lady was very sure, and suddenly wondered again, "Lady, what kind of bomb are you really going to do?" ”

"What's not going to be about that? If you can make firecrackers, you will make bombs, a principle. An Ran smiled.

"Yes...... How did the girl come up with the word bomb? "Wei Lin only thinks that the lady has so many new words?" What you saw in the book again? ”

"Hmm." An Ran saw that Wei Lin was suspicious of her, and hurriedly said: "Who let you leave home for so many years, how can I pass the time without reading?" ”

Wei Lin really wanted to say, Weiguo Weizhou Acropolis They said that you didn't read much when you were at home?

Forget it, don't be suspicious of the lady, isn't the lady amazing? Why do you need to expose the lady and ask too much?

"I knew that I would definitely find a solution when I came to the south, and sure enough, with the help of your husband and wife, Ji Han and Ji Yin will definitely be able to successfully recover the north." Ji Lao slapped his thigh happily, "As long as the northern border is recovered, the prince's position will be stable, and I have to tell the prince the good news." ”

After speaking, Ji Lao got up and was about to go out, and An Ran hurriedly grabbed him, "Ji Lao, you are happy, you have to have a meal and then go back to Beijing after a rare trip, right?" ”

"I'm afraid that the prince is in a hurry, before I came, I told the prince, let Ji Han Ji Yin and General Wei learn to arrange troops for a few days, and then send troops from the capital to the north to let them meet in the plain, and now I heard Mrs. Wei say that she can make a bomb and help Ji Han Ji Yin win this battle, I am so happy, I want to tell the prince immediately."

"It's not bad for a while, eat and leave, my aunt is already cooking, Ji Lao, you sit down, I'll help my aunt, and I will be able to eat soon." An Ran felt that Ji Lao was really the prince, and he wanted to tell him as soon as he had news.

"Lady, when will you be able to make tens of thousands of bombs?" Wei Lin asked.

"Let your soldiers help together, it will be done in a few days, just in time for the two generals Ji Han and Ji Yin to take them to the north after learning how to arrange troops and arrange formations with you, and ensure that you don't miss anything." Enron affirmed.

"Great." Ji Lao's happy thighs were red.
