Chapter 166: Confrontation (2)

After Yan Yan finished speaking, Wu Zhe on the side recognized her as Yan Yan who was dressed as a woman, and pointed at her with wide eyes, "You, aren't you just... ”

"This son, what we are debating now is who is more honest between the Khitan and the Jurchen, and it has nothing to do with who I am. Let's return to the topic just now, if the Khitan repents, how should we deal with ourselves, in fact, the answer to this question is very simple, maintain the status quo. After all, we will not raise the strength of the whole country to help the Khitan fight this war, we are just helping the Khitan drive away these Jurchens, therefore, even if the Khitan breaks the contract, our losses are only some troops and financial resources, which is not much different from the current status quo, but if we unite with the Jurchens, then the result of this war will inevitably be the destruction of the Khitan, at that time the Jurchens regretted turning around and dealing with our Da Zhou, have you thought about this consequence? Yan Yan interrupted the other party's words.

She didn't want Wu Zhe to reveal her identity.

There's no way, if it weren't for Lu You's opening her mouth first and being forced into this, she wouldn't have planned to be in the limelight.

"What can be the consequences, the worst thing is that we fight with the Jurchens again, we have fought with the Khitan so many times over the years, we may not be able to defeat the Jurchens." Another son beside Lu Ming replied.

"This son, do you know the Jurchen? Did you know that the Jurchens are also a people who grew up on horseback? Do you know how many soldiers they have? If their iron cavalry crosses the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, what will our Great Zhou use to compete? Yan Yan asked.

"It can be seen that it is a bunch of nonsense, the Khitan is also a nation that grew up on horseback, but our Great Zhou has never been able to beat the Khitan, since the founding of Emperor Taizu, our war with the Khitan is really counted as winning more and losing less, but the land of Liao is large, and the war horses are abundant, so it is difficult for us to destroy the Khitan for a while, so the two countries are in a stalemate until now. But now the situation is different, the Jurchen has sent the opportunity to us, the two countries will join forces, and they will definitely be able to take the Liao State, so that our Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures can be recovered, from then on, I not only have the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures as a natural barrier in the north, but also have a pasture that can raise horses, so why be afraid of a little Jurchen? Lu Ming couldn't help but speak.

"This son, the premise of all this is that the Jurchens keep their promise to return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and the premise I ask is what if they repent?" Yan Yan asked.

"We are not afraid of repentance, since we can defeat the Khitan, we will definitely be able to resist the Jurchens." Wu Zhe who answered this time.

"Little brother doesn't dare to agree, if the Jurchen destroys the Liao State, the land area and national strength will definitely increase several times compared to now, not to mention the source of soldiers and war horses, and the sixteen states of Yanyun are still in the hands of the other party, at that time, we lacked the barrier of the Liao State, and there was no support of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Jurchen iron cavalry can drive straight into our capital, I ask, what do we do to resist their stormy iron cavalry at that time?" Yan Yan retorted.

"Then in your opinion, it's best for us not to help each other, if we help the Khitan, the Khitan finally repents, and we can't resist their iron horses." Another unknown boy replied.

"No, as I said earlier, we help the Khitan, not to raise the strength of the whole country, nor to destroy the Jurchens, we just want to take this opportunity to return to our Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and at the same time help the Khitan resist the footsteps of the Jurchens going south; But if it is a union with the Jurchens, it will inevitably be the destruction of Liao, and once the Liao State is destroyed, the Jurchens will inevitably continue to move south, and these northern nomads have never stopped plundering and looting our Central Plains. The most obvious example is the Wuhu Chaohua, do you want history to repeat itself? Yan Yan asked.

"It can be seen that it is nonsense again, what is the background of Wuhu Chaohua, what is the background now, how can I compare with the Western Jin Dynasty? At that time, there was a rebellion of the eight kings in the Western Jin Dynasty, and those northern nomads took advantage of a loophole, but what about our Great Zhou, now it is a clear and clear government, how can we let a few Hu people do the blame? Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh again.

"What does it mean to be prepared for danger in times of peace? If the war does not break out, everything is easy to say, but once the war breaks out, anything can happen, and what we are talking about now is just talking on paper and doing some meaningless verbal battles. Yan Yan replied with a sneer.

"You also know that it is a battle of words and tongues, so why should I waste my words with you here?" Lu Ming said disdainfully.

"It makes sense, I feel the same way." Yan Yan replied with a smile.

"You, you, you're a woman..." Lu Ming looked at Yan Yan's face with a very dazzling smile, and he blurted out that he was about to scold "a woman's opinion", but he was interrupted by Yan Yan at a critical time.

"What are you, this is an opening lecture, and naturally everyone expresses their own opinions, so that they can gather the strengths of the people to make up for their own shortcomings. As Mr. Fang Cai Ji said, the process of self-denial and self-cultivation is not simply to read a few books and listen to a few lectures can be completed, but to constantly restrain and restrain oneself, choose the good and follow, be erudite in the literature, and make appointments in courtesy, and finally become a benevolent person admired by the world. Finally, I would like to send a word of encouragement to this son, there is no end to learning, and each of us is just a drop in the ocean. ”

After speaking, Yan Yan didn't look at Lu Ming's face, pulled Lu You and Yan Zhang out of the venue, under the leadership of Yan Zhang, Yan Yan and Lu You found Ji Weiming's residence, a very simple small courtyard, Yan Yan and a few people went in when an old servant came out to hold firewood, and when he saw the comer, the other party stood up and asked Yan Yan if he had an appointment.

"Old man, we don't have an appointment, this is a little bit of our heart to the old man, it's not early, we won't stay to disturb, please tell the old man, near the end of the year, the weather is cold, we can't come, after the spring flowers bloom next year, I hope to have the opportunity to listen to Mr. in person." Yan Yan ordered Qinghe to send the box of pastries.

The other party was about to refuse, but saw the door curtain opened, and a kind old woman in her fifties walked out, Yan Yan hurriedly pulled Lu You and bowed to the other party, "Master, we are here to visit Mr. Ji, and ask Mrs. Ji to convey our respect on my behalf, Mr. Teacher's lecture is very wonderful, and the disciple is very taught." ”

"Really? The old man felt that it was rare for this son to have such insight at a young age, and the old man was eye-opening today. ”

Yan Yan hurriedly turned around when he heard this, only to see Mr. Ji coming in with Li Cong, followed by Li Ji, Li Sui, Li Zhi and Li Sui.

What's going on?
