Zi Congsanren looked at the young man's preoccupied appearance and asked him to continue.

"The 20,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of General Zhang and General Li were watched by General Wei Yong, and the two sides were in the east of Beiyang. If you can't be subdued, there may be a bad battle, and there are generals who can fight well. ”

It was not easy to say it, but the eyes were calm and firm, "Those two cities are rich because of business, and the personnel are chaotic, and it is easy to sneak into. Gu Zi'an pointed to a river between the two sides and said with a smile: "This river means that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack." However, it is not good to let down your guard because you are too dependent in your heart. After all, they would not have imagined that General Wei Yong would make a detour of five hundred miles, cross the source of the river, and force the city down. If you hadn't considered this, you naturally wouldn't have thought that General Wei would send people into the city. At the same time, our strategy also considers only encircling and not fighting. After all, most people are still wavering, and I don't want civil unrest in the country. If the two generals don't go along with Zhao Hai and others, it will be the best result. As the son of the world, I have the legitimate right to inherit in name and right, and if I throw out the fact that Zhao Hai poisoned my father and this son in a timely manner, it may play a role in public opinion and people's hearts. If this is the case, they only have 10,000 soldiers and horses of Zhao Yien. ”

However, these two generals are also likely to follow the Zhao family's dream of enjoying glory and wealth, after all, they and the Zhao family have also been related. Gu Zi'an thought about it and didn't say anything.

"It's good to be famous. The time and place are right, it seems that you have thought about it. Zi Cong Sanren nodded.

"It's not my own ability, my teachers and everyone around me have helped me a lot."

Zi Cong Sanren looked at Gu Zi'an, thinking that he was so down-to-earth that he seemed to be a talent, this thinking and mind of the Zhao family were indeed inferior. After a pause, Zi Cong said: "Back then, when I had a junior brother who was an official in the court, he told me a story. Once at dinner, I found a small grain of sand in the porridge. He asked the attendants if the person who cooked the porridge was dismissed, if there was anyone to replace him. When the man was called, he replied that because the person who cooked the porridge could be promoted after he was dismissed, he put small grains of sand when he was not looking. Everyone below wants to be replaced, let alone the throne? ”

When Gu Zi'an heard this, she thought of the speculation of her and Meng Yining in the past two days.

"That's true." He said his idea as it was, causing Zi Cong to laugh. Sure enough, Gu Zi'an thought about everything in such a short period of time. will also borrow the power of others to seek his own business.

The two sisters in the hall were still talking, and Meng Yining thought that she didn't have a lot of time to catch up these days, so she could only wait for the political situation in Beiyang to stabilize in the coming day, and then take her sister over for a reunion. After all, it is still very dangerous, and the slightest accident will put your life in danger. I really can't just get together and put my sister in danger.

"Sister, when everything goes well, I'll take you over."

"Why wait until everything is going well? I don't want the two of us to be separated again. ”

Meng Yining frowned: "It's dangerous down the mountain." ”

"Where is it not dangerous? Am I going to watch you go into the trap just after we meet again? Bai Xining asked rhetorically.

Although it is reasonable, Meng Yining also knows that she has not been able to argue with her eldest sister since she was a child: "This quiet place is really not suitable for me." ”

"I didn't beg you to stay." Bai Xining smiled, "I'll go down the mountain with you, and we will take care of each other!" ”

"No way!"

"You think I'm in danger and can't help?"

Meng Yining didn't know how to answer, but nodded slightly. My sister suddenly became angry, and Xiao Fan's face turned red, "If you are threatened, how can I feel at ease on the mountain alone?" Don't worry, I will definitely not drag you and Gu Shizi down. ”

"That's not what I meant!" Meng Yining pursed her lips, glanced at her, and lightly hit her shoulder with a punch, "Just go!" Go, go, go! Although I was reluctant, it was a pleasure to know that my sister was with me.

The girl almost forgot her serious business, patted her head, and sighed: "Forget and forget, how many pots of orchids do you have here?" ”

"Five or six pots, what's wrong?"

"Queen Zhao of Beiyang loves orchids very much, and you also know that Beiyang is too cold, and this orchid is easy to freeze to death. But there are not many people who can cultivate such precious flowers and plants. At home, you like to study flowers and plants. So, I want to take a few pots...... By the way, you teach me how to cultivate in this cold land? ”

Bai Xining looked at his sister's serious little eyes and laughed: "When you were a child, you would say politely...... Borrow it and play around. Why haven't you seen you for ten years, and you have changed it to 'take'? You follow me into the house and ask for a few and get a few. It's not a rare thing for me. ”

Meng Yining squinted, "You are my sister, yours is my ......"

"If everyone is so domineering as you, then the world will not be peaceful." Bai Xining said, got up and pulled Meng Yining to his room.

My sister walked in front, and my sister followed behind, swaggering like a mountain king with someone to support her.

Bai Xining's house is very quaint, and the bookshelves are full of small drawers full of precious medicines. Several ancient medicine collections were placed on the desk, and there was also a lost copy of "Baicao Zhi", but what she had in her hand was a folk patchwork version, with only the name of the medicine and sporadic medicinal properties. Meng Yining opened the scroll, and it was all sorted out from the herbs that Bai Xining had collected by himself. There is also a colorful illustration next to it.

"This book is good, take it with you!" Meng Yining flipped through.

"Take whatever you like, I don't have much in total, and it's all turned over. You can take my scar-removing ointment, and the emollient osmanthus lotus seed herbal ointment I made, look at your hands, do you still look like a girl?" The words are reproachful, but with a smile.

"Oh......"

"Then you can also take the water-green jacket I embroidered myself, I have been embroidering for almost a month, and it is the color of the pattern you like."

Bai Xining fiddled with the orchid: "In the cold winter, the orchid will fall into hibernation. Although the leaf buds will stop growing, the flower buds will still grow slowly. To maintain the temperature. You see I'm surrounded by charcoal fires, cotton cloth, and thick planks. However, they should not be stifled either. Be sure to let the sun shine. You see, some of my windows and ceilings are spliced with crystals, just to let the sun shine in the winter and keep warm. Water less, otherwise the rhizome will rot, and I have a special root-raising solution here...... Written down? ”

Meng Yining nodded behind him, "The main points have been memorized, but I can learn your mysterious rhetoric." ”

"Gu Shizi and Master have been chatting in the house for so long, let's go and have a look. I reported to Master a few days ago that I wanted to go down the mountain with you, and I would like to say goodbye to Master. ”

"Oh, sister, you've thought about it a long time ago." Meng Yining didn't expect her gentle and gentle sister to be so bold and firm in her heart.

Enter the house and stand on the lower side. I saw Gu Zi'an nodding respectfully to the master in the house, and he wrote down a sentence in his heart, seeing is not necessarily believing, you have to be careful of Zhao Yien's actions behind his back. If he wants to be king, he must have more troops in his hands than Zhao Chai and Zhao Erze. Is that really the case?
