"This time I was able to win a big victory, and Lord Xie contributed a lot!" Han Yan raised his glass to Xie Zhiyi and praised with a loud smile.

Xie Zhiyi hurriedly got up, raised his glass accordingly, and said with a smile: "How can my small tricks be compared to a person like Lord Han who has a big hill in his chest." It's just picking up people's teeth and still doing things. ”

Zhen Guogong shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Lord Xie doesn't have to be too humble. The plan to lure the enemy into the depths is of course Lord Han's idea, but 'not afraid to use the old with a plan' is Lord Xie's resource. If it weren't for Lord Xie's suggestion to attack the subordinates of the King of Warat and the tribes close to him, I am afraid that he would not be able to win the current situation. ”

When Zhou Qiu heard this, he nodded and smiled in response: "Grandpa Guo's words are reasonable. Although we took advantage of the surprise attack this time and won a complete victory, we must have suffered a lot of losses against the elite of the Upper Warat King Tent. If all the departments of Warat are united at this time and work together to the outside world, I am afraid that we will also have a very difficult time to deal with.

"But now it's different. Tuhuan suffered heavy losses in this battle, but he still bears the name of the Great Khan; Although the tribes are subservient to him, they have their own armies, so that they check and balance each other and guard each other, so that no one dares to attack us with all their might.

"In this way, we can take the opportunity to raise and have another divisive plan."

Han Yan smiled and said, "That's right! ”

At that time, he and Zhen Guogong were only worried about the difficulty of reapplying the old trick to be effective, and they were bent on thinking about another strategy, but they forgot that the situation changed, so the trick was also quite effective.

If it weren't for Xie Zhiyi's reminder, I'm afraid that I would really have to spend some time now.

Xie Zhiyi saw that everyone praised sincerely, and suddenly his heart was full of joy, and his chest was full of pride, and he secretly thought to himself, it was all because he had thought wrong before, Han Yan was really such an open-minded person who did not want dictatorship, not only would he not tolerate backwardness, but he would sincerely support him in many ways.

When this war is over, not to mention anything else, just by virtue of supervising the project of digging iron and casting soldiers and this military feat, he will definitely be promoted to the rank of knight when he returns to Beijing!

Knowing this, he really shouldn't have been confused for a while, and voted for Sun Changyu's disciples, not counting in vain, and leaving a "stain" - the Liaodong Army can be regarded as Emperor Kangping's henchmen, and he is naturally loyal to Emperor Kangping, so the news of Sun Changyu's "downfall" in the capital reached Liaodong early in the morning to boost morale and help the war to be revealed.

After Xie Zhiyi got the news, he was extremely glad that he had switched to Emperor Kangping because of the struggle for power with Zhou Qiu - although he soon learned that Zhou Qiu was loyal and upright, not Sun Changyu and other people who were bent on power.

Thinking about it like this, Xie Zhiyi had a good impression of Zhou Qiu.

"Being able to win a big victory this time, Zhou Daren also has a great merit." Xie Zhiyi got up and raised his glass, toasted to Zhou Qiu and said with a smile, "If it weren't for Lord Zhou's hard work, day and night, I'm afraid that the matter of digging iron and casting soldiers may not be able to be completed in time to help this battle!"

"This cup, I salute you!"

Seeing this, Zhou Qiu hurriedly got up and raised his glass accordingly, and joked in his mouth: "Don't dare, don't dare!" When Lord Xie said this, wasn't he praising himself? You must know that Lord Xie was in charge of the matter of digging iron and casting soldiers at the earliest, and everything was arranged properly, and later Lord Xie also patrolled day and night, serious and responsible. ”

Although Xie Zhiyi competed with him openly and secretly for power from time to time during this period, he never delayed his business because of this. This clear distinction between public and private is worthy of his respect.

Zhou Qiu's words made everyone laugh.

Xie Zhiyi and Zhou Qiu glanced at each other, with appreciation in their eyes, the two looked at each other and smiled, and drank it all with their necks up.

Zhen Guogong and Han Yan looked at each other and smiled, and they also raised their glasses to each other and drank them all.

It's all in plain sight.

After a tour of wine, everyone gradually lost their previous restraints, and generals such as Wei Feng and Meng Pei also came to salute Han Yan and others.

Everyone was happy, and the drinking was very bold and enjoyable.

When everyone was almost drunk, Zhen Guogong got up and toasted everyone, and said with a smile: "Let's go here today." Now that the enemy has not been repulsed, it is not permissible to drink and celebrate, lest it be misguided. When the war is over, the marshal will pay for a drink and have a good drink with the whole army! ”

Han Yan got up and raised his glass and smiled, "Count me in!" ”

Seeing this, all the soldiers hurriedly raised their glasses and said with a smile: "I'll write it down, when the time comes, Grandpa Guo and Master Taifu don't cheat, they are reluctant to pay for wine, haha......"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed again.

"Definitely not!"

Zhen Guogong and Han Yan laughed loudly in unison.

Everyone laughed, drank all the wine in their cups, and dispersed to guard.

When everyone dispersed, Zhen Guogong and Han Yan made tea, and talked about the current situation while eating tea to relieve hangover.

"To be honest, when you decided to subdue Xie Zhiyi, I didn't agree with it. If it weren't for the sake of weakening Sun Changyu's strength and avoiding trouble, I would not be willing to appoint someone with such selfish desires. Zhenguo Gong took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "However, you are really accurate when you see people!" Xie Zhiyi may be quite selfish, but he has never abolished his public because of his personal interests, which is completely different from Sun Changyu and others. ”

There was no lack of appreciation in the tone.

Han Yan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's just a fluke." At that time, it was also a helpless move, and Sun Changyu couldn't be allowed to stretch out his hand to Liaodong, right? ”

He can't say that he has lived a lifetime, and he has already seen the temperament of the courtiers thoroughly.

Hearing this, Zhenguo Gong nodded with a smile: "Exactly." Liaodong is the land of hidden dragons, and it is the most reliable rear of the saint, and there is absolutely no room for loss! ”

After that, he turned to analyze the current situation on the frontier.

"Tuhuan suffered a big loss this time, and if you want to make a comeback in a short time, I'm afraid it's impossible. Let's take this opportunity to rest and prepare for the decisive battle in the future. After Zhen Guogong said, he asked Han Yan meaningfully, "I don't know, what are your plans for the future?" ”

Han Yan understood what Zhen Guogong meant, thought about it, and then asked, "With my current strength, if I want to completely defeat Warat, or even attack the grassland, how sure do I feel?" ”

When Zhen Guogong heard Han Yan say this, he immediately sat up straight, his eyes sparkling, but that light was soon replaced by helplessness, and he sighed helplessly: "Galloping across the prairie is the lifelong dream of every soldier. It's just that our Korean forces have been weak for a long time, and if there is no natural danger to rely on, even if we reluctantly attack the prairie, I am afraid that it will be difficult to ...... for long."

The implication is to repel Warat, so that they don't dare to go south again.

Han Yan saw that Zhenguo Gong's face was lonely, and knew that he was helpless, so he smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then it will be easy to do next."

"At present, although Tuhuan can barely control the Warat tribes for the time being and keep the king's position on the grassland, but in this way, he will not be able to move south. Let's take this opportunity to carry out another divisive plan, whether it works or not, the key is to scare away the intrusion of the dejoy and the various departments.

"What else is there to be afraid of the frightened tiger wolf?"

When Zhenguo Gong heard this, he also nodded in agreement.

Han Yan paused, and then said: "When we regain the lost territory and consolidate the barrier, then it will be 'peace' and 'war', and we will be able to grasp the initiative." ”

After hearing this, Zhen Guogong didn't answer for a long time, turned the teacup in his hand and thought for a long time, and then asked abruptly: "Have you ever thought about 'and'?" ”

As a general who was born in a family of military generals and has fought against Warat for generations, in his heart, there has never been a choice of "harmony".
