"Seventh Prince, I've always heard that the Jin people are barbaric and tough, and they are very difficult to deal with, so what are the Jin people like?" Li Mingwei looked at Xia Chenyu and asked.

In addition to learning cultural knowledge and the art of war, Li Mingwei also dabbled in the customs and customs of neighboring countries, but the things in the books and what he heard were not very real, and he had never been to the border pass, so he naturally felt very curious.

Li Mingxuan and Li Mingyuan also looked at Xia Chenyu curiously.

Xia Chenyu was stunned when he heard the action of picking up vegetables, then put down his chopsticks, and said with a slightly serious expression: "That Jin people are indeed difficult to deal with, they are brave and courageous, if there is no general to restrain them, I am afraid that my Great Zhou will be in danger." ”

This sentence of praising Li Zhengying made the three young masters of the Li family feel honored, and even Li Zhengying's dark face looked better.

But then the second eldest Li Mingxuan frowned, pointed out the uncomfortable place in Xia Chenyu's words, and said: "Seventh Prince, how can you raise the morale of others and destroy the prestige of your own people, we also have many heroes and heroes in Dazhou, why are they worse than that Jin people?" ”

After Li Mingxuan was familiar with most of the people who were military generals, he naturally felt that most of the men in Da Zhou were heroic.

Xia Chenyu shook his head and said: "The Jin people live in the grassland, and the people of my Great Zhou live in the plains, their people live by animal husbandry, and our people live by farming. ”

The three brothers of the Li family nodded when they heard this, and they agreed with what Xia Chenyu said.

Xia Chenyu continued: "Their people all grew up on horseback, the horses they raised are tall and strong, and their endurance is strong, even if we are carefully trained cavalry in Da Zhou, they are not enough to compare with their ordinary people. ”

Li Mingwei, Li Mingxuan, and Li Mingyuan were silent.

They all know that the cavalry on the battlefield is the vanguard and the main force, and the soldiers recruited by the Great Zhou have never even touched the horses before joining the army.

"This Jin man commits crimes every year, robbing the people at the border of the people's materials and food, and you can't do anything with him, other people's horses run fast, and if you grab them, you can't catch up with them at all." Xia Chenyu shook his head again and said.

The third Li Mingyuan was a little angry when he heard this: "Then can't we find a chance to wipe out all the golden people to prevent future troubles?" ”

Xia Chenyu still shook his head and said, "If Da Zhou really wants to annihilate the Jin people in one fell swoop, it is not impossible. ”

Li Mingyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he heard Xia Chenyu continue: "But the price is that the Great Zhou loses half of the national strength, and the Jin people are very resentful, if they want to completely occupy the Jin country, they must kill it all, and get an empty grassland with half of the national strength, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Li Mingwei, Li Mingxuan, and Li Mingyuan were disappointed again when they heard this, and Li Mingwei asked: "Then according to the opinion of the Seven Princes, is there no other way to conquer the Jin people?" ”

Da Zhou is like the Jin people, and it's not a solution.

Xia Chenyu was silent for a while this time before he said, "I don't know." ”

Li Yao listened to a few people talking about the battlefield, and ate the meal without caring about himself.

It's not that she's not patriotic, but this in itself should be something for the emperor and courtiers to worry about, and she doesn't necessarily end up being nosy.

Moreover, even if she has some feelings for the people of the Great Zhou, this feeling cannot be compared with her family.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult for the superior to tolerate heroes, why can her Li family survive to this day?

Not only because the Li family has always acted in a measured manner, but the most important reason is because the Jin Kingdom is a thorn in the heart of the Xia family, and the Xia family needs the Li family to help them defend the country.
