Chapter 90: The Big Tree Theory

Tong Kan nodded: "It's about everyone's future, it's right to be cautious." As for my specific identity, it's not a secret, since Captain Qin asked, I also told you the truth that I am the captain of Qishan Zhichong Mansion under the jurisdiction of Fengxiang Mansion. According to Captain Qin's wisdom and wisdom, of course, it can be seen that I am not qualified to make such a promise, and the promise I am talking about is of course made from above, and I am just a messenger. ”

Qin Zhen stared at Tong Kan, his eyes were extremely aggressive: "To what extent?" Is it to your Qishan Zhichong Mansion, or is it higher? ”

Tong Kan faced a series of questions from Qin Zhen, his face was as usual and calm: "As for the specific extent above, Captain Qin will naturally know at that time, what I can tell Captain Qin is that Qishan Zhichong Mansion is not qualified to make such a promise to you." ”

Qin Zhen nodded, and suddenly changed the topic: "I don't know what Captain Tong thinks about the battle between the imperial court and Shi Jingjiao in Hedong?" ”

Tong Kan was stunned for a moment, but immediately recovered again, and said a little undeniable: "Hehe, Taiyuan is thousands of miles away from Fengxiang, I am just a small captain, I can't pay attention to such a far place, since Captain Qin inquired, I can only say that I have no opinion." ”

Qin Zhen also followed with a smile: "Yes, Shi Jingjiao is not only one of the most powerful feudal towns, but also a relative of the emperor, this war was originally related to the situation in the Central Plains, and now I heard that the Khitans have been mixed in, which has added many variables to the already treacherous situation, and I don't think Fengxiang Mansion will be left alone." As far as I know, even the ordinary people of Fengxiang are now extremely concerned about the battle of Hedong, how could Captain Tong, as a soldier, not have an opinion? ”

"Although Captain Qin is far away from the center of Luoyang, he has such an accurate control of the general trend of the world, and he can indeed be called a talent in the world, which shows that I came to the right place this time, and after I go back, I will definitely explain the talent of Captain Qin to the high-level of Fengxiang Mansion, I estimate that the position of Captain Qin will probably be above me at that time." As for me, I am far from having such a far-sighted vision as Captain Qin, and I am in the fog, so I don't dare to speculate and evaluate such a major event at will, and when the time comes, those people in the top will make the decisions they should have, and I just have to obey the orders from above. As for the common people chatting with each other after dinner, it is also very common, we can control our mouths, but we can't control the mouths of the people, right? ”

"What Captain Tong said is that Qin Zhen has been taught. Speaking of which, Qin Zhen is really a little envious of Tong Xiaowei, Tong Xiaowei is leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, unlike us here, no one supports him, and he can't stand the toss, so he has to think more about it. If we can also have a big man like Li Congcao Jie Du here, then I will also save a lot of worry. ”

"Haha, Captain Qin laughed, I think Captain Qin is definitely not a thing in the pool, maybe he can become a big man in Longxi in the future, and at that time, Tong may have to take a dip under your big tree."

Qin Zhen shook his head: "Captain Tong's words really made Qin Zhen panic, to be honest, even if Qin Zhen has this heart, he doesn't have this ability, the soil in Longxi is barren, and big trees can't grow." ”

Tong Kan said with a smile: "When the land is barren, it will naturally be barren, I see that Captain Qin has already started to cultivate the land here, and the wasteland will become fertile land, as long as the land is fertile, big trees will grow sooner or later." ”

Qin Zhen sighed: "If you want to grow a big tree, this land alone is far from enough, our situation here Tong Xiaowei has also seen it, self-protection is still timeless, then there is still the ability to compete for land in other places." Qin Zhen also only thought that he could work hard to manage this little place under his feet, and it was already a blessing to be able to grow a small sapling, so that this land had a little self-preservation power, and he could give the people here meager protection every time the party invaded south. So I hope that this little sapling will not be cut down by a passing gentleman. ”

Tong Kan's expression was solemn: "Captain Qin's mind is really admirable to Tong Kan, but has Captain Qin ever thought that if someone cuts down this small tree and plants a big tree, wouldn't it be able to shelter more land?" ”

Qin Zhen nodded and said: "What Captain Tong said is right, the big tree can indeed give more shelter, but Captain Tong should also know that this tree is different from a tree, some trees are rooted in this land, and while absorbing the nutrients in this land, it will bear fruit and feed back to this land; But some trees only absorb nutrients from the ground, and the bigger the tree, the more barren the land will be, and the more damage it will cause. And even those trees that can bear fruit in other places may not be able to adapt to all the environments such as climate and soil in our Longxi, Tong Xiaowei must have heard the phrase 'orange is orange if it is born in Huainan, and orange is orange when it is born in Huaibei'. ”

Tong Kan's face was complicated, and he laughed dryly: "Where these big trees grow is not something that we can determine, instead of such groundless speculation and worry, we should base ourselves on the present and do what we should do." ”

Qin Zhen's face seemed to be abrupt, and he nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, Captain Tong reminded right, originally we were talking about the war horse trade, how did we get involved in planting trees, it's far away, it's far away, haha......"

In fact, there is nothing to talk about the war horse, Meng Xuan and Tong Kan have already negotiated it when they are in Fengxiang, but since Tong Kan came in the name of buying a horse, the two sides will sit down and talk about it, and the surface article is also to be done.

After the words were finalized, Qin Zhen asked Chen Luosheng to accompany Tong Kan to see those war horses.

"Now it seems that it is basically certain that if the Central Plains change, it is very likely that Li Congcao will retreat to Longxi, and the biggest purpose of Tong Kan's visit to Weizhou this time is very likely to be to explore the way." After Tong Kan left, when only Qin Zhen, Meng Xuan, and Han Wenzhi were left in the side hall, Qin Zhen said slowly.

"Yes, when the captain and Tong Kan were talking, I had been observing Tong Kan's reaction, when the captain said that if we also have a big man like Li Congshu here, although his expression did not change much, his pupils contracted significantly, and his hands trembled unconsciously, and since this sentence, his aggression has increased a lot when talking, which shows that Captain Qin's words hit his vital point." Meng Xuan gave corroboration.

Qin Zhen said with a smile: "When everyone was discussing just now, you said that Tong Kan and I observed and analyzed so many things as soon as we met, and now it seems that your observation and analysis ability is not weak at all, and you are about to become a psychologist." ”

Meng Xuan frowned and said, "Psychologist, what is it?" ”

Qin Zhen held back a smile and explained seriously: "This psychologist is not a thing, he can analyze what this person is thinking by observing other people's subtle movements, very powerful, your performance just now is a psychologist." ”

As soon as Qin Zhen explained this, Meng Xuan suddenly realized, nodded and said, "So that's the case, then I think you are more like a psychologist than me." ”

Qin Zhen propped up the table with both hands, leaned back, took a long breath, rolled his eyes, and then tilted his head and squinted at Han Wenzhi. Han Wenzhi waved his hand again and again: "Don't look at me, I'm not a psychologist." ”

Meng Xuan didn't seem to notice a small trap in Qin Zhen's language, and explained seriously: "Captain, you are Zhuyu in front, and I am at most a rubble behind, this little skill is not a little worse than that of the captain, just now there were only four of us in this room, and Tong Kan focused most of his energy on the captain, so I was able to see these things on Tong Kan, as for what Tong Kan thought in his heart at that time, the captain pointed out, I can't think of it?" And the captain was observed in the process of galloping on the war horse, and he guessed the general context of the matter when he knew little about Tong Kan, and the Han team said fairly, who is more like a psychologist, me or the captain. ”

Han Wenzhi hurriedly used the stunt of evasion, covering his mouth and coughing.

After coughing a few times in a row, Han Wenzhi put down his hand and sighed: "Alas, when you are old, your thinking always can't keep up with you young people." Since the captain pointed out the biggest purpose of Tong Kan's visit to Weizhou this time, and Tong Kan also increased his verbal aggression, why did he admit it in disguise later? ”

"Tong Kan is indeed not a simple person, when I said that sentence, he instinctively raised his vigilance, so the verbal aggression increased, but he immediately realized his little mistake, and at the same time he also knew that we knew, and there was no point in concealing it, so he admitted it in disguise later, and no longer dwelled on this issue."

"Then what he said at the beginning of the search for talents in the Longxi area is true?"

"I think it should be true, and there is no need to lie about this kind of thing, even if there is a false part, it should only be in some details. Since Li Congcao wants to leave a way back in Longxi, it is logical to find some people who are useful to him in Longxi in advance, so that he will have a lot less resistance when he enters Longxi. This is also Tong Kan's cleverness, he did not wrap his core purpose in lies, but directly put an equally true purpose next to his core purpose, when we go to explore his core purpose, he releases this real companion purpose, which makes sense, logically, and importantly, and is more confusing. ”

Meng Xuan smiled: "No matter how cunning the fox is, it can't escape the eyes of the hunter." ”

Qin Zhen also smiled bitterly: "The key now is that this fox can be followed by an incomparably large wolf, and we hunters don't even have a burning stick in our hands, if the wolf really comes one day, we are powerless to stop it." ”
