"Yes, they all call me the Holy General of Nanwu, saying that I am ruthless and unjust, murderous, and extremely powerful, but in the face of a child who has been with me for more than ten years, I didn't realize that I actually had some feelings, so my closest person was you. I won't kill you, and I can't bear to kill you, you are actually half my grandson, now, you have no chance to return to the Northern Tang Dynasty, and my majesty's plans back then have all failed, and they were destroyed by Li Zenan, I will tell you everything you want to know, you may not have the opportunity to be a Northern Tang person again in this life. ”

Guan Kuo listened to what he said silently, and couldn't figure out what was true and what was false what such an invincible and sinister and cunning Southern Wu Holy General said, but he knew very well that he was a little emotional in his heart.

Jin Youzuo has been with him for a much longer time than with Jin An, and he doesn't have a grandfather, but since he was a child, he can feel the closest to his grandfather, at least a little similar, that is, from Jin Youzuo's body.

Time produces feelings, and it has been more than ten years, and it is really difficult to stop.

"Let's talk to you about Nanwu first." Jin Youzuo leaned back, and lay on the ground to the sky, his eyes looking at the bright moon in the sky and the faint stars.

Guan Kuo hesitated, stood up, and walked towards Jin Youzuo, leaning on each other, also lying down with their backs to the sky, they were very close.

Without a trace, Li Qianrong didn't know where he went, it should not be too far away, Guan Kuo believed in the horse, so he could put his mind at ease.

The night sky is far away, out of reach, and has a vast and mysterious beauty, and the mind soars in it, and it is difficult to put your mind to life.

"No, let's talk about Beitang first." Jin Youzuo changed his words again.

Guan Kuo has no objections, what Jin Yuzuo says, he just listens to it.

"During that time, the Northern Tang Dynasty was constantly suffering from internal and external troubles, the sudden people invaded, and the Vultures also began to fight with the Northern Tang Dynasty, and there were uprisings in various places.

"And at that time, in the land of Nanwu now, there were more than a dozen countries, and you should probably know these things, and the countries were fighting endlessly."

"The Northern Tang Dynasty in the north was busy with its own affairs, while the southern countries were annexed, and the disaster of the destruction of the country swept in all directions."

"At the same time that the Northern Tang Dynasty was dealing with internal worries and resisting abrupt fears, Southern Wu completed the pace of reunification. When the first emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty was born with great ambitions, he did not see that the fragmented southern land was left for him to satisfy his ambitions, but a large country that was in ruins but very united. ”

"Under such circumstances, the Northern Tang Dynasty, which had solved internal and external troubles, launched a war against the nascent Southern Wu."

"This war was very difficult for both sides, it was fought for five or six years, with heavy casualties, the army of the Northern Tang Dynasty fought all the way to Yangzhou, almost crossing the river to Jinling, at that time, the Southern Wu, the most important issue in the government was whether to abandon Jinling and move the capital to Lin'an."

"I retort." When he said this, there was light in Jin Youzuo's eyes, shining and shining.

He had always looked like a stone on the verge of decay, but it was only at this moment that a compelling brilliance appeared in him.

Reminiscing about the past, the years are thick.

He was young.

Jin Youzuo seems to have regained the vigor and publicity of his youth, and his voice is no longer sinister and low, but has become impassioned.

"How many people did we sacrifice in order to unify Southern Wu? Just accept his incompetence, be annexed by the Northern Tang Dynasty, move the capital to show weakness, and weaken morale? ”

"It can't be!" He said.

"It's me, our Jin family, almost all the men went to the battlefield, took the young people of Dawu, and embarked on the journey of recovering the lost territory and attacking the Northern Tang Dynasty."

"We skillfully took advantage of the right time and place to cross the river, and under the complacent and reckless advance of the Northern Tang Dynasty, we easily recovered Yangzhou, and went north, although many good men were killed and wounded, but we won many battles and victories, and finally crossed the Huai River and fought a decisive battle against the two Huai, and the Northern Tang Dynasty was beaten back."

"You are starting to point your sword at Chang'an." Guan Kuo said.

Jin Weizuo nodded: "Yes, unlike those pedantic and cowardly people in the court, we all understand that as long as the Northern Tang Dynasty still has a breath of air, then it will destroy us anytime and anywhere, and if you want to achieve eternal peace, then annex it, no matter how big it is!" ”

Guan Kuo smiled and didn't speak, he felt that the two countries were fighting, and it was the people who were unlucky, but from the political position of a big country, Jin Youzuo was right, and there was nothing wrong.

The sound of horses' hooves came, and Wu Ji came back with Li Qianrong, and seeing that they didn't have any intention of resting, they wandered around for a while, and then left again.

Jin Youzuo continued.

"We went all the way north, and at first it was very smooth, but then it became more and more difficult and the problems became more and more difficult."

"The soldiers of Southern Wu are far away from their hometowns, they are not satisfied with water and soil, and the hearts of the people in the Northern Tang Dynasty are not oriented to the Southern Wu, at that time, the Southern Wu had just been unified, and in their eyes they were the barbarians in the south, and it was impossible to be willing to be conquered, plus the defense line in the Northern Tang Dynasty was stable, and we finally retreated."

"After that, a continuous war broke out between us, with each other winning and losing, which lasted for more than a year."

"Finally, both of us have admitted our defeat, in addition to us, the strong enemies around us are also eyeing each other, whether it is the Northern Tang Dynasty or the Southern Wu, we can't continue to lose both."

"It took a long time to alleviate the hostility and injuries, as you can see, the Southern Wu and the Northern Tang gradually had trade contacts, and they did not offend each other, occasionally helped each other, but they were still faintly wary in their hearts."

"We are at peace." Jin Weizuo sighed, and the corners of his mouth slowly had a very inexplicable smile.

"So, is it really peace?" Guan Kuo seemed to be asking, and it was also like a little mockery.

"Yes, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, can the Northern Tang and Southern Wu really keep peace?" There was light in Jin Youzuo's eyes, but it was not the same as before, and Guan Kuo felt a deep chill from it.

"It never exists," he narrowed his old eyes, "peace is maintained by force, and peace cannot be maintained." ”

"If you want a truly stable Southern Wu, you have to need a ruined Northern Tang."

In Guan Kuo's eyes, the look dimmed slightly.

"So ......"

"Yes, so when those civil officials and the people on the border in Southern Wu were carrying out so-called friendly exchanges, brothers and friends with the Northern Tang Dynasty, we in Jinguan Erfu had many plans."
