It's night, inside the Weiyang Palace bed.

The palace man Lu served Xuan Nan and dressed, and Wang Xi held the clothes on the side. The dim light poured in through the carved latticework, casting light and dark on her slender neck.

"The little sister of my uncle's family came to live in Duan Chenguang. She's a funny one, see you another day. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine is from a small background, I'm afraid she won't be able to get into the eyes of Miss Wurenhou." Lu's eats acid.

"She won't. She is an unworldly herself. Ha ha. ”

Lu looked at the corners of Xuan Nan's unconsciously raised mouth, and after tying the belt of his middle coat for him, he turned around and said cautiously: "This is the niece of the Queen Mother, and I am not surprised that you marry her as the queen." Please send me out of the palace. ”

"Hua Nong, what does this taste like... She's my little sister..."

"You are not born to the Queen Mother..."Hua pouted angrily.

"My mother died after giving birth to me. In all these years, if I hadn't had my mother, I would have died in the chaos a long time ago......"

"You were still an infant at that time, what the hell is going on is not what the Queen Mother said..."Hua Nong pouted.

Xuan Nan's affectionate expression suddenly became cold.

"Hua Nong! Shut up! ”

"Your Majesty... You... You... Fierce me..."Hua Nong was aggrieved, there were small crystal tears hanging on her curved and long eyelashes, and two lines of tears were left along Ruyu's cheeks, making Xuan Nan unbearable to be harsh. I took the coat on the shelf and put it on, and said softly: "Ah Dong is coming later, it's late, you don't wait for me to sleep first." ”

The beauty nodded. Her appearance, gentle and virtuous, the years are quiet, and she said, "No, the concubine is waiting for you." After that, he got up and wiped his tears to tie the cloak and strap around Xuan Nan's neck.

It's night, under the corridor of Weiyang Palace.

"What are you doing when you enter the palace so late and carry such a heavy thing?" Bing Lan asked puzzled.

"You don't understand it." Xuandong Road.

"I don't understand, so why did you call me?" Ice Blue said unhappily.

"Doesn't it depend on your strength...... Xuan Dong said.

Ice Blue suddenly let go, and the huge scroll smashed to the ground with one end.

Xuan Dong persuaded with good words: "Good sister, I was wrong, don't be angry." On this scroll is confidential military information, I am afraid that there will be many people in the palace, so I don't let others handle it, and I picked it to be sent at night. It's just that it's too heavy for me to move alone, so I can call you. ”

"Such a big man, he can't even hold this...", he picked up the scroll and walked forward. After walking a few steps, he turned his head to look at Xuan Dong and said cautiously: "I was worried about your illness some time ago, and I sent someone to send you pickled fresh ......."

"I'll drink it all in one go, and even if I'm not sick, you can send me some in the future......

Xuan Nan saw the two of them carrying the scroll in, and retreated left and right, and even Wang Xi retreated. Bing Lan was about to go with Wang Xi, but was stopped by Xuan Nan; "Meng Huo, you stay."

The scroll is more than two feet, and Bing Lan and Xuan Dong can only unfold together. When she slowly pulled it away, she realized that even if Xuan Dong was a prince, he would have to send it in person. The mountains, rivers, hydrology and important towns and fortresses depicted on the white silk are the Zhuchengfu Road and Zizhou Road counties of Dachu. These two roads are the jurisdiction of Wu Dagui, the king of Pingxi, who led the eight towns to make the festival.

"The small maps sent by my brother are quite detailed and exquisite, so although it is tedious to draw, it is quite smooth." Xuan Dong was a little proud.

"During these days, my brother didn't go out to draw a map behind closed doors, and it was hard work." Xuan Nan said.

"So you're not sick?" Ice Blue said.

"How do you draw when you're sick? I drink pickled tuk xian every day, and I have gained a lot of weight, not to mention, you make pickled tuk xian is really wonderful! Xuan Dong praised.

"That's the soup made by her maid Xianyun." Xuan Nan said lightly.

"The armies of the two roads are under the command of Wu Dagui, and the taxes are also under the command of Wu Dagui. Not only that, but the imperial court also allocated a sum of money to Wu Dagui every year as military expenses. Nominally subordinate to the imperial court, in fact it is a state within a state. Brother......"

In Xuan Dong's explanation, Bing Lan looked at the map, that Wu Dagui's forces were entrenched in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and they could smash the Jiangdong waterway in the south of the Yangtze River. Once he is in trouble, the two lakes and Jiangnan will be in danger. However, the reason for today's situation has to start from the previous generation.

During the reign of Emperor Daojun, he expropriated the rich Shu land, causing rebellions in Shu everywhere. This Wu Dagui is one of the many rebels, and they are slowly growing in troubled times. Later, the Jin people invaded the south, and the imperial court had to fight the Jin people in the north and the rebels in the southwest, and they were exhausted. And Wu Dagui was powerless to defeat the imperial court. The two sides were forced by the situation, and Wu Dagui accepted the court's recruitment.

When the regent was still alive, Wu Dagui was quite respectful to the imperial court. With the death of the regent, Wu Dagui became more and more intensified, and even dismissed the officials appointed by the imperial court without authorization, and forcibly requisitioned the people in the jurisdiction, which made the officials and the people miserable.

"Wu Dagui is forty-six years old this year. And His Majesty did not reach the weak crown. Time is the best weapon. "Ice Blue Road.

"If he survives for twenty or thirty years, won't my Great Chu's national strength be exhausted by him? Brother has to pay one-third of his taxes every year to support him! You see, this army, Cao Yun, disaster relief, which one does not cost money! Xuan Dong retorted: "Solve this big problem quickly!" ”

At that time, the court promised never to condemn him. If the court is the first to make trouble, the teacher will be nameless, and he will lose his trust in the world. ”

"Hehe, it's just a straw who was lucky enough to grow in troubled times. How can you lose your trust in the world! The reason why my Great Chu can have today's prosperity is because the monarchs and ministers are diligent in state affairs, the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and the people are hard at work. Since the three great victories of Monk Yuan, Huang Tiandang, and Zhu Xianzhen, the Jin people were weak, and Wang Shi went all the way north to recover Bianliang, so that the Wanyan clan surrendered and became a vassal. Whether it is a war or a negotiation, what is the credit of King Wu! Everything in this Da Chu is my brother's! He deserves it!"

"Just looking at the number of fortresses on this map, I'm afraid that King Wu's army is no less than 350,000...... If the imperial court wants to fight with it, it will have to prepare 200,000 troops and 100,000 war horses, do you think this will not cost the national strength of Great Chu? Besides, after years of fighting, the people have ten rooms and nine empty ......"

"And what do you say?"

"I thought that there was no need to use troops to gradually divide his forces."

"And what if he strikes early?"

"We can ......"

"Stop fighting." Xuan Nan's words interrupted the quarrel between Bing Lan and Xuan Dong: "Today, Xie Xianggong and Wang Xianggong have been arguing like this all day."

Bing Lan didn't realize it when she argued with Xuan Dong, but now she felt that she was sweating slightly and her mouth was dry. Only then did he realize that he had been rude in front of the emperor just now. She saluted and said, "The concubine has said a lot."

"Letting you stay, it's just letting you speak, it's okay." Xuan Nan said, poured two cups of tea and handed them to them. Then he said thoughtfully, "It's late at night, rest early."

"Brother, if I let the troops enter Shu......" Xuan Dong was about to continue, Bing Lan pulled his sleeve and squeezed his eyebrows.

"Yes. The concubine retired. After Bing Lan Shili finished speaking, he pulled Xuan Dong's sleeve and walked out.

The shadow of Xuan Nan and the lamp was left in the room, and there was silence all around, except for the sound of his heartbeat. He remembered what Qian Wei had said to him when he was still alive.

"Your Majesty, do you know the three great battles of Zhongxing Dachu?"

"The students don't know." Xuan Nan said in a childish voice.

"The battle of the monk was the first Chongde Duke Song Lian (Song Chu's father, who was the first soldier, was seriously wounded, and then died. With 5,000 remnants of the Jin army, the Jin army was 100,000 to be able to keep Shu. The battle of Huang Tiandang was that Wuren Hou Huo Yan commanded 8,000 sailors to defeat the Jin Sect's general Wanyan Duzao's 80,000 sailors, and greatly defeated the main force of the Jin army. Zhu Xianzhen's victory was the last main force of the regent to lead the cavalry to take the Jin Kingdom, and then regained Bianliang in Tokyo. The three of them are the gods of war of my Great Chu, and they are heroes and warriors who are indomitable for the country. ”

"I also want to be a hero and warrior like them, and go to expand the territory of Great Chu." The immature voice was heroic.

"The country of Da Chu has been recovered. Your Majesty's thoughts should be how to govern the country and appease the people. The old man's words were calm and kind.

"But Youyan is still in the hands of the Mongols! If we don't recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, there will be no barrier in the Central Plains. "Xuan Nan cut the railway.

"Having said that, but now Dachu is full of devastation, and the people and the country really can't withstand the wear and tear of the war. Your Majesty should be generous to the world, and the land of clouds is slowly mapped. ”

"How do you feed the world?"

"Be strict with yourself, be lenient with others, be diligent and prudent, and keep the inside and outside."

"What do you mean, sir, but you want to suppress the military?"

"Naturally not. If there are traitors who bring disaster to the country and the people for their own selfish interests, Your Majesty should eliminate them for the sake of the society. If there is a foreigner who tries to get his hands on the mountains and rivers of Dachu, His Majesty should sweep them away for the country. ”

"And how do I do it?"

Qian Wei put the Nine Dragons Sword in Xuan Nan's hand and said, "Hold the sword in your hand and be merciful."

Xuan Nan tilted his head slightly, tears flowed back into his eyes, he took a deep breath, and said to himself: "What the hell can I do to hold a sword and be merciful......"

At night, he no longer had any heart, and when he was tired, he rested alone in the study. As soon as he closed his eyes, the argument between Bing Lan and Xuan Dong, and the argument between Wang Xiang and Xie Xiang emerged in front of him. Even if the inner knowers figured out the mountains and rivers of Shu, once the war started, the Wu army would always change its defenses. This map is not a panacea. Now he is dying, and when he dies, his sons will be a mess. As long as I cultivate the rule of culture and governance within the country, recruit talents, treat the people well, and exert grace and power on his sons externally, should it be feasible to defeat each of them?
