2-in-1, ask for a monthly pass!

------------

According to Ji Yaoling's original expectations, this should have been just a very ordinary poetry exchange meeting, there could be several people in the venue, or just the two of them, and the time should not exceed half an hour, after all, both sides are not ordinary people, they have their own things to be busy, especially Gu Cang, as the prince of the East Palace, the prince of the country, is deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, and has delegated a lot of power to him in all aspects。

What's more, this is just the second visit, according to reason, it shouldn't stay too long, not only is there a lot of gossip from those outside who like to chew the root of the tongue, but also afraid of making the other party repulse, this interpersonal relationship, it should always be gradual, it will become a close friend who talks about everything in one day, or too ethereal, once the time is estimated, even if Gu Cang herself does not stop, she will take the initiative to resign and leave, which can be regarded as a means to deal with men, after all, the more mysterious it is, the easier it is to arouse people's desire to explore。

But since she entered the garden and sat down here, until now, she hasn't chatted with the other party for a few words, but the more Ji Yaoling listens, the more she feels that her brain is no longer enough.

Look at what the prince of Da Liang in front of him said just now, he not only regarded the countries around Nandi as nothing, but also claimed that Da Liang was already comparable to the three princes in the atrium, if he unified the Nandi in the future, he claimed that it would only take one year to completely match the princes of the three in the middle, not to mention that he just threatened to lead troops to poke in from behind Nanyang's ass and fight all the way to the atrium?

You know, this whole Da Liang is actually just the larger one among the barbarians in the south, and he is just a big Liang prince, who has not officially ascended the throne, is already so rampant, and even said that he wants to provoke the three barbarians around the atrium to attack together?

Where does this confidence come from?

Why are you?

Thinking of this, she even ignored the strange words "can't wait for that day" and "you" that the other party said just now, or she didn't bother to delve into it for the time being.

Because she really wanted to find out whether this prince was so blindly confident because he hadn't been to the atrium and seen the world, or whether this was a conclusion he came to after a series of accurate calculations and comparisons of the strength of the two sides, because the way he said it just now seemed that these things on his lips had become inevitable history and could not be changed.

As the most traditional habitat of the human race, the western continent should be divided into five parts according to the geographical environment, the east, the south, the north, and the west, which together protect the most extensive area in the center, which is called the atrium.

From ancient times to the present, the atrium has always claimed to be orthodox for the human race, and it is not surprising that the people of the other four directions are regarded as barbarians, after all, the human race has multiplied to this day, and most of the great, orthodox, and precious ideas that have been passed down for thousands of years have originated in the atrium, or the root of the whole human race, which is in the atrium.

Thinking about the Great Zhou Emperor Taizu, who ruled the world and established the country, in fact, he just occupied the entire atrium, but he was already known as the co-master of the human race, and he could hold the sword of the royal road to sacrifice to the sky, swing the sword and draw it, and the rules of the ten thousand laws are like a transparent cover buttoned down, covering the entire Western Continent and protecting all the human races。

Although the people of the four places are all regarded as barbarians by the people of the atrium, but the southern land is the place that is most deeply influenced by the atrium and receives the most enlightenment from the saints, so the countries of the southern land have a kind of rudimentary form from the foundation, but they are far behind in all aspects, this point, compare the bureaucratic system of Daliang and the bureaucratic system of Wei and Jin, you can see the difference, as for the other three parties, they are all real barbarians, and the people of the atrium look at them, just like the people of the southern countries look at the Rakshasa tribe.

However, the overall strength of these three barbarians is not much weaker than that of the southern land, if they can each give birth to a male lord to lead them to gather their strength together after the great unification, it is actually enough to threaten the princes of the atrium, after all, the nine princes for the supreme throne, the ambition to control the atrium, infighting with each other non-stop, many of them are already difficult to reconcile feuds, and at the same time, they have to guard against being invaded by the barbarians from the rear, it is naturally hard work.

And from the perspective of a person whose blood originates from the royal family of the Great Zhou, even if she gives this country to outsiders who were originally vassals, she refuses to give it to the barbarians around her who are not educated, as for the second point, it is her own point to say that it is jealous or not, and it is good to be careful about whether it is angry or not, after all, she is a person from the atrium, she has read the book of saints since she was a child, and she is a famous Confucian, she really doesn't want to believe that the prince of the southern land in front of her can have such ability.

Sitting in the dry well, it seems that he has the entire sky above his head in the palm of his hand.

However, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, it is always difficult to offend the other party at this time, Ji Yaoling can only consider his tone, and asked very carefully: "What do you mean, do you mean to provoke the invasion of the three barbarians and take the atrium together?"

Gu Cang retracted his right hand that was on the table just now, crossed his palms instead, supported the smooth table with his elbows, and then rested his chin on the back of his hand, then looked at Ji Yaoling, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law doesn't seem to believe it?"

Ji Yaoling couldn't tell what was on the other party's face at all, whether it was a sincere smile or a smile with a knife hidden, she hesitated slightly, but in the end she shook her head very honestly, and said a little bluntly: "It's not that I don't want to believe the prince, but these things you said, in my opinion, are too far away, Da Liang is now, even the southern land has not been unified, but you are planning such a long-term thing, is there some, well, too anxious?"

After listening to this, Gu Cang turned to support his head with one hand, let go of the other hand, and then used his slender fingers to tap the rim of the beautifully crafted ceramic teacup next to him.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

The sound is crisp and pleasant, transparent and bright, which shows the perfection of this set of ceramic tableware fired by Jiangzhou official kiln.

"Whether it is being a person or doing things, you should try to take a long-term view, only in this way can you gain more in the future, if you want to become the first in the entire Western Continent, your goal must first be set in the entire Canghai Realm, and if you want to be the first in the atrium, the goal must be set to be the first in the Western Continent, this reason, Xiaogu Bingxue is smart, it should not be difficult to figure it out, now I taught it to you, and you remember to teach it to Xiao Xuan." ”

"As for what is not uniform. ”

Gu Cang said, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at the sky in the distance, where there was a blue as a wash, without any earthy yellow dust, in the capital, this is really a rare good weather.

He smiled gently, neither in the tone of his mouth nor in the expression on his face, showing not the slightest hint of contempt, as if he was merely quietly stating a well-known fact.

"The resistance of these countries in the south is too powerless, hundreds of years of minor diseases, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, never eradicated, step by step accumulated to today, it has already been terminally ill, full of holes, vulnerable, just like a dam full of water, but it is full of ants, it has not collapsed, because the original foundation is okay, but once it rains a little more one day, it will be like the tilt of the pillar of heaven, and it will collapse suddenly, this is not an accident that happened to rain heavily that day, but a kind of historical necessity. ”

"Keep them, just because they still have some use for the time being, but if I don't pry into the situation in the atrium in advance, then Da Liang will be left behind for the rest of his life. ”

"But. Gu Cang retracted his gaze from the distance, looked at Ji Yaoling on the other side, who had been completely stupid at the moment, and asked softly, "Now I only have a small question I want to ask my sister-in-law, what is this Illuminati, I think you should be able to answer it in detail for me." ”

Ji Yaoling finally recovered from the shock just now, but she didn't know what to say for the time being.

Some people may be really arrogant and blindly confident, but if they are like that, let them say the same thing, the tone will inevitably be arrogant and disdainful, mixed with a kind of complacent excitement, and the vision of the future is under control, but he has no at all, when he said these words, the tone was like saying that he wanted to eat jujube cake today, and it was precisely because of this indifference that she felt that what she heard just now was definitely not the other party's boasting, but more like something that had really happened, just relayed by an outsider, so he would be so calm and indifferent。

"Well, the matter of the Illuminati, since you also have the bloodline of the Ji family, you naturally have the right to know everything. ”

After that, Ji Yaoling told everything she knew about the Illuminati, no matter how big or small, even some rumors she heard by chance and some of her own conjectures, which was much more detailed than when she told Gu Xuan before.

After Gu Cang listened, he immediately began to compare and troubleshoot some sporadic information in his mind with the information collected by his subordinate Yamen Tianluo, who monitored the world, and thought about it very seriously, before muttering: "Yi Yi, Er Muye, Shan Liu, Shi Tao, Wu Heng, Lu Yi." ”

What he just read were all the specific members of the Illuminati who came out of the mountain to assist the True Son of Heaven to reunify the Western Continent, that is, the six Lu Yi brothers, from the most prestigious senior sister Yi Yi, to the bottom of the ranking, Lu Yi who went to the south, there were a total of six people, who fell in the atrium and the south respectively, and as for the other three barbarians, none of them went.

Gu Cang's five fingers, which were as pale as a woman due to lack of blood, began to tap rhythmically on the table again, which was one of the things he liked to do when he was thinking, which could help him sort out the logic faster.

He asked, "Where is Yiyi?"

Mentioning this mysterious and unpredictable Illuminati senior sister, even Ji Yaoling did not dare to slack off, but she would never forget the other party's eight-word criticism of herself for the rest of her life, whether this indirectly changed the fate of her life, she didn't know, she sometimes even thought about why the other party would still let her leave the atrium after making those eight-word comments, but this is destined to be a question that no one can figure out.

"The ranking of the nine princes, in fact, is that Yi Yi and other six people are fledgling, and when they traveled together in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were set together, and the saying that the upper three of the three and the lower three has spread all over the world since then, and there is no one who is not convinced, but Yi Yi She finally chose to assist, although it is also rated as the third prince, but it is not the strongest among them, and it should even be said that it is the weakest of them, it is for the Dongyi Jiang family. ”

When Gu Cang heard this, he lowered his head slightly, and seemed to agree with the other party's choice.

"The ancestors of the Jiang family, with the merit of the founding of the country, thousands of years ago, in the Great Zhou Dynasty Taizu at the end of the time, as a strategist to follow its side, Taizu thought of its merits, so that when the merit was divided, let Jiang a foreign surname people get this East China Sea treasure land, its terrain is located in the east, is the place of the sunrise, although the place is not big, but has always been the richest one of the nine princes, and because of the back of the East China Sea, so the relationship with the shark people is very deep, this position is also very delicate, not only to avoid the pain of being invaded by the barbarians in the east, but also to hold a large number of grain and grass soldiers and horses, sitting firmly in the east, can macro-control the situation of the whole worldThis Yiyi is indeed not simple. ”

Although the Dongyi Jiang clan does not occupy a particularly large area, it is because it is backed by the East China Sea, rich in resources, and extremely good at doing business, and has an open atmosphere, so it can become rich in the world, and there are even rumors that the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce, which has done the business of all ethnic groups in the entire Canghai Realm, was actually established by the ancestor of the Jiang family, and what makes this rumor more credible is that the people of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce have never publicly refuted this point, which makes the Dongyi Jiang clan even more mysterious。

Dongyi holds the granary, which is equivalent to choking the lifeblood of the world, after all, this person has to eat, that is to use troops to fight, and the demand for grain and grass is more urgent, so in order to get support at a critical time, all the princes have to give the Jiang family a good face, and even give more convenience to the merchants of Dongyi in business, anyway, unless you dare to take down the entire Dongyi directly, it is impossible not to be affected by them.

The next thing, there is no need for Ji Yaoling to say, Gu Cang compared some of the information he had obtained before with what Ji Yaoling said just now, and then continued to analyze: "The six senior brothers, except for Er Muye, the rest are all two-character names, which shows their extraordinary, or that he himself thinks he is extraordinary, this should be an extremely proud person, and this second-ranked person, what he wants to do the most, isn't that to surpass the first?"

"If you want to compete with the Dongyi Jiang clan who controls the lifeblood of the world, or even beat the other party, then you can only use unreasonable hard power, combined with his temperament, so this person must go to the overlord of the upper three, no, it should be said that it is the overlord of the hegemon, I have always liked to be reckless and martial, the people are fierce, and even the Xiwu Ying clan who didn't even dare to show their heads to the western barbarians, am I right?"

Ji Yaoling's eyes widened suddenly, nodded vigorously, and said with some excitement: " What you said is extremely true, Er Muye I have seen this person in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty before, Top Gun, ambitious, and he is not like several others, he does not attack the political path or vertical and horizontal techniques that the people of the Illuminati are best at, but specializes in the most domineering soldiers, his life likes to arrange troops the most, millions of soldiers and horses in his hands, just like a person, even if it is a new army, can directly do it like an arm, and his ability to march and fight should be the first person in the world!"

Gu Cang was also a little surprised after hearing this, even if he didn't lead the troops, he also knew that it was not easy to arrange troops, as the commander of the entire army, it was really an extremely brain-consuming thing to mobilize the strength of all the people in the entire army and let them all operate according to their own thinking.

Otherwise, how can there be a difference in rank in the army, in addition to being used to encourage the soldiers under him to fight bravely to kill the enemy, to a large extent, it also represents their respective ability to lead the troops, a scout squad leader, can bring more than ten people is already too much, the average general, can also bring more than 1,000 people or 10,000 people, this is actually very remarkable, and can command 100,000 people, hundreds of thousands of people in a big war, is already the top military talent that all countries are eager for, this kind of people are relied on by the monarchs of various countries as the right arm, as the pillar of the army。

In the 100-year history of Daliang, there are only three people who can command hundreds of thousands of soldiers, one is Gu Qiguang, the ancestor who founded the country with the strength of several people, the ancestor of the Xu family who wiped out the Three Kingdoms, and the other is the immortal god general Chang Dingfang who broke the millions of soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom in Yanzhou.

But this person is even more terrifying, he claims to be able to make millions of soldiers and horses like an arm, this is barely controlled and like an arm, that is completely two concepts, this kind of person, it is not an exaggeration to call it a soldier immortal, this person will choose to assist the Xiwu Ying clan, which is the most feared by the princes of all walks of life, this is indeed a strong alliance, like a tiger with wings.

Gu Cang suddenly sighed softly, full of sadness and pity, because he had already expected the fate of this person, and it would definitely not be too good.

"It's just that the leader of the army is powerful, but it is not enough to worry, the army is reckless, the follow-up is weak, once it angers the countries, it will be attacked by the group, in fact, if it is not for the Xiwu Ying clan to hold the natural danger, retreat and defense for a hundred years has not been out of the pass, but I am afraid that it has already been divided by the rest of the princes who are afraid of them. ”

Gu Cang shook his head, not wanting to dwell on this person anymore, but continued: " Single willow, Shi Tao, senior sister, the ability of the second senior brother is too strong, a single hostile, the odds are not big, in order to protect themselves, the relationship between the three and the fourth should be very good, the names of these two people, a willow, yin, a peach, yang, if there is no foreign enemy persecution, it is naturally incompatible, eager to fight life and death, but now it must be a harmony of yin and yang, like glue and paint, well, I guess, one should be in the second place in the upper three miles of Nande Wei, as for the other, it should be the Nanyang Ji family in the middle three miles, well, it just so happens that one is in the north of us, and the other is in the northeast。 ”

One of the interesting things is that the Nande Wei clan is actually similar to their Da Liang Gu clan, and they are all a branch of the Ji clan of the Great Zhou royal family, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was just established, it was necessary to divide the heroes of all walks of life to guard the Quartet for the emperor, among which there are naturally Ji's own relatives, and in the end it is more reliable for their own families, in order to balance these foreign surnames, for fear that they will rebel, then it is natural to allocate a part of the territory to their own families, but in the blink of an eye, it has been a thousand years, and its bloodline is weak, it is already negligible.

Speaking of this, Ji Yaoling had already stood up from the chair in an instant, she supported the table with both hands, her eyes widened, and she looked at the other side deadly, without the graceful bearing of the motherly world when she first met, she turned into a normal little girl, and when she saw what opened her eyes, she immediately shouted in horror: "What you said is exactly the same!"

The corners of Gu Cang's mouth tugged slightly, shook his head, and said humbly: "It's not that I'm powerful, it's just obvious, besides, the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce also has these atrium intelligence sales, which is not a great ability." ”

Naturally, he didn't reveal his Tianluo, in fact, he had already extended his hand to the atrium, many times, you must know how to hide, even when you don't need to hide, you must also pay attention to secretly leaving a hand, because only the unknown is the most terrifying, and only the unsheathed sword is the sharpest.

When Ji Yaoling heard this, he was thoughtful, but he also seemed to realize his gaffe, and slowly sat back down.

Gu Cangnian chattered: "The lower three princes, there is nothing to be afraid of at all, two of them are backed by the barbarians, to resist their attacks, the remaining energy is no longer enough to continue to support them to participate in the Central Plains, in the final analysis, this is a battlefield between the upper three and the middle three, as for the lower three princes, they have to be left to do hard work to resist the barbarians, and they will definitely not be moved for the time being, so which one Yiyi wants to move first?"

As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes, and remained silent for a while, as if he had fallen into deep thought.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a treasure gleamed in them, as if he had found the answer he was looking for.

"Although the Dongyi Jiang clan is rich in the world, but there are not enough soldiers and horses, so if you want to take the world, you can't come hard, you can only rely on the combination of vertical and horizontal and horizontal diagrams, she must be like an emperor, look at the world, constantly support the new and suppress the old, consume the opponent's strength, to get a balance. ”

"And her opponent, for the time being, is nothing more than good at hard work, can break her overall plan Er Muye alone, Xiwu Ying, holding the natural danger, can attack, retreat can defend, and the west behind is rich, if Er Muye can take the entire west as soon as possible, not only is it equivalent to a million more soldiers and horses that can be deployed, but also has a stable granary, enough to support their follow-up operations, when the time comes, it is really Jiaolong into the sea, and there is no one to govern, so this advantage must be removed, then she must first put pressure on Xiwu, encourage others to take this dangerous place, and choke the throat of Xiwu's advance and retreat, so that they dare not move。 ”
