Chapter 22: Three Strategies

In other words, Yue Ting and Mu Yi discussed this countermeasure in the house, and said that there were three clever plans.

"This best strategy is the thirty-six strategies, and it is the best policy. Yue Ting took a sip of tea.

"When you become a general, we will slowly transfer the gold, silver and jewelry to the 500,000 mountains, isn't the third child laying a foundation there, and you will lead the army to go again, it will really be like a tiger with wings, and it will not be a problem to build a country again. The third brother and I are both carefree people, and since my brother is ruthless to me, I don't need to pay attention to him. It's just that Old Man Mu and Aunt Yun need to be transferred as soon as possible. When the preparations were almost complete, my brother and I fled to the 500,000 mountain with our cronies. ”

"This middle strategy is to inform the emperor of all the things that the princes have to win you over, so that he can believe that you are loyal to him alone. I think that the emperor will see that you are so loyal, and he will reward you heavily, and then you will have nothing to do with the princes. It's just that if the eldest prince or the third prince succeeds to the throne, it's not a big problem. If the second prince succeeds to the throne, he must hold a grudge against you. Then our brothers can only escape, with the help of the third child, we and the other two will also learn your qi method, presumably it is not difficult to escape. ”

"This strategy is to continue to interact with the princes secretly, but to be more careful. If the emperor knows about it, I'm afraid it will be the time for me to die. But I see that this emperor is over sixty years old, and it is said that he is no longer as fierce as when he was young, and occasionally he is a little mediocre, and when you become a general, he is estimated to be almost seventy, and half a leg has stepped into the coffin, and it is not completely impossible to hide it. If I feel that the emperor is suspicious, I will not be too late to escape. ”

After Yue Ting finished speaking in one breath, he didn't breathe much, and he was tired and panting.

Mu Yi thought for a moment and said: "Big brother, these three strategies are very good, but I think that these three strategies are not completely conflicting, they can be used together, but they are not all used." ”

"Yes, I think that way, it's just more risky, it's harder for you to do. Yue Ting breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is the easiest strategy, and when the time comes, you can just slip away." It's not difficult to get a middle strategy, just show loyalty to the emperor. The most difficult strategy is to maneuver between the three princes, and not be discovered by the emperor, which is a great test for you. You have to do all three at the same time, and the difficulty is doubled several times. ”

Mu Yi nodded: "Although the best strategy is good, but my father has read the sage book all his life, and the sage said: 'The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die', I want to tell him treason, and it will be good if he doesn't kill me." ”

"The middle strategy is also wonderful, but the two princes supported me, but I will no longer interact with each other when the time comes, and I will definitely hate me to death. If they don't wait for them to ascend the throne, I'm afraid that if I find some opportunity, I will be killed. ”

"The next step is a last resort. However, if something happens, I am afraid that my parents will be affected. ”

"Yes," Yue Ting said, "I can only make a trade-off, I don't know what your plans are, second child." ”

"When I became a general, I tried every means to transfer the property in the house to the third child as a resource for my future life. With the emperor, I also had to show my loyalty, and went to his suspicion of me. The three princes also had to have some contacts in secret, so that they would not be suspicious. As for the parents"

Mu Yi hesitated and sighed: "Anchuan County is by the sea. I secretly arranged the ship first, and if the situation changed, I asked the third elder to go and transfer the second elder from the sea. Thinking that he is a ranger, now that his skills have increased greatly, it will not be a problem to travel thousands of miles a day. ”

"It's a brilliant plan. Yue Ting nodded in agreement.

"Now that I have some plans, I am also relieved, thinking about this promotion, maybe it is not so troublesome. When I became a general and helped Joui complete her heart, I took her away and flew away, regardless of which of them was the emperor. Mu Yi laughed.

"I hope there won't be so much trouble, and I will save my worries, marry a few daughters-in-law, and live my little life. Yue Ting sighed, and his heart was afraid that it was not that simple.

"Big brother, I'm really impressed with you today. I saw you say that I wanted to be a teacher and marry a daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect to have such a strategic talent. ”

Yue Ting listened to Mu Yi's praise and was quite proud: "This is called seeking government in his position." Although I don't have big ambitions, I'm not afraid of things. It's you, second brother, aren't you thinking about being a marquis, but you're always so absent-minded. ”

"Big brother, you don't know," Mu Yi smiled bitterly, "This marquis is all what my father thinks, and it is not easy for my parents to raise me, and I also want to fulfill my father's wish." When I want to do something for her when I have the ability, I have no choice but to continue to climb up. If I say that, my ambition is just to stay in the mountains and stay with my beloved. ”

"Alas," Yue Ting sighed, "when will you be able to think about yourself." ”

"In life, you have to do what you have to do before you can do what you want to do. Mu Yi shook his head.

Yue Ting nodded, and said angrily: "You and Ru Yi are in the deep mountains, and I don't care about Anan." ”

"Hehe, when the time comes, you and Anan have also found their beloved, wouldn't it be wonderful for us to live in seclusion together. ”

"Not a bad idea," Yue Ting was satisfied, "but when the time comes, I will marry a five-room, no, ten-room, oh no, twenty-room daughter-in-law." ”

Mu Yi covered his face with his hands, he was really speechless to this big brother.

After the two of them talked, it was already the fourth watch, and they were both extremely sleepy, so they went back to the room to sleep after a simple wash.

Mu Yi likes to sleep lazily, and he used to get up early all day in the army, and he was seriously lacking in sleep. After returning to Beijing, he tried his best to make up for it, but before he could sleep for two hours, there was a sound of calling the door outside the house, which made him so noisy that he had to get up.

After he got up, he learned that the emperor had summoned him to the palace, and he was busy wearing the official uniform of the sixth grade that he had only worn once, and with the eyes of two pandas, he went to the palace with his father-in-law.

When Mu Yi arrived at the Taihe Palace, the hall was already full of civil and military ministers. Mu Yi looked at it, and it was full of second-rank and above-grade generals, and he, a small sixth-rank guerrilla general, had to stand at the door.

In the early dynasties of Great Xia, the princes and princes followed the emperor and stood sideways. At the right hand of the stairs is a column of civil officials, and on the left hand side is a column of military attachΓ©s, the colors and styles of civil and military official uniforms are different, and the palace can be said to be distinct.

Mu Yi boldly glanced at the top of the hall, and happened to meet the prince who was also looking at him, and smiled at him. He hurriedly lowered his head, and his heart kept sudden, not knowing what the prince meant.

After a while, I heard a scream "The emperor has arrived", and the princes and the ministers of civil and military affairs all bowed down and shouted Long live the emperor. Mu Yi also bowed down with everyone, but he only pretended to open his mouth, and for some reason, he didn't want to shout out.

The emperor Xia Yuxuan sat down on the dragon chair and beckoned everyone to calm down. Then he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this morning, there is something important to discuss with the secretaries. Wang De, the will of Xuanzhen. ”

"Wow. The great eunuch Wang De bowed his head and answered.

Wang De turned to face the ministers, waved the dust and said: "Last night, Sima Dajun, the general of Zhenxi, reported the emergency military situation: the Tocharian State sent more than one million troops, which offended the Longwei of our Celestial Empire. The Zhenxi army went out of the village overnight to meet the enemy, but the barbarian soldiers did not face the enemy head-on with our army, and only broke through hundreds of units at the junction of the two countries, burning and looting everywhere. ”

"At present, Youzhou, Yanzhou, and Qiongzhou, the three prefectures bordering Tocharo, have all been plundered. Although the Zhenxi army had a million troops, it was mostly infantry, and could not catch up with the wolf cavalry of Tocharo. There was also a brute army of about 100,000 soldiers, rushing towards Jingzhou. I hope that the imperial court will take precautions as soon as possible, and I hope that we can quickly send reinforcements to recruit the thief army in various states, and 100,000 are urgent!"

Xia Yuxuan nodded a little tiredly: "After I got the military information, I didn't sleep all night. I hope that you will nominate a few leading generals to go to the expedition. ”

"Your Majesty, I would like to go. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends one person. ”

Suddenly, the stairs seemed to explode, and ministers and generals from all walks of life petitioned one after another, either to protect their families and defend the country, or to make meritorious contributions.

Xia Yuxuan waved his hand to stop the commotion in the hall.

"This time, the Tocharian country sent millions of troops, and I am afraid that it will pour out. If it is a very victorious general, how can I rest assured that its leader will go. If you are a nobody, you don't need to be on the table. The Emperor snapped, his tone anxious.

"If a minister recommends a person, he will definitely be able to kill the thief and drive the country away. "The first-ranked minister on the left hand is none other than Xia Wenyuan, the general of the protector of the country. He was dressed in a purple round-necked official uniform, embroidered with a unicorn on his chest, full of heaven and square forehead. A pair of tiger eyes are not angry and self-assured, and he deserves to be the head of the four major generals of the dynasty.

"The general is the pillar of the country, and the person recommended must be extraordinary, I don't know who it is?" said the emperor.

"Your Majesty, although the minister is guarding Jingzhou, he can't go to kill the enemy. But under the minister's tent there is a hussar general Shi Hu, who is extremely powerful and brave. I will be able to take on this important task. ”

Before the emperor could say anything, among the civil officials in his right hand, a person suddenly flashed out, wearing a crane supplement uniform from the first grade, with a dignified face, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister Li Shiji thinks it is impossible." ”

Xia Yuxuan stared for a moment, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Li Aiqing, I don't know what Aiqing's opinion is?"

Li Shiji is the secretary of the military department, in charge of the dispatch of soldiers and horses in the world, and naturally has the right to inquire about this use of troops: "The minister thinks that although General Shi is brave, he is not strategic. Liu Yuanshan, the general of Dangkou, was the best choice. General Liu is also the pillar of the country, and has guarded the northern Xinjiang for more than ten years. Nowadays, the pirates are almost extinct, and there is no war in the Zhiwei army. It is better to send General Liu to lead the Wei army forward, and he will definitely be able to win in one battle. ”

"Hmph, it's just a big deal to kill some refugees pretending to be pirates. A general in the second column on the left of His Royal Highness snorted coldly, this person has five big and three thick in life, with a leopard head and eyes, and a white tiger official uniform, which is quite in line with his temperament.

"Shut up. Xia Wenyuan hurriedly shouted in a low voice. The man also knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly bowed his head and remained silent.

"General Shi, doesn't he think that the general who His Majesty personally appointed is not capable?" Li Shiji, the secretary of the military department, grabbed it.

"Your Majesty, this Shi Hu's words are reckless, and it doesn't hurt to be disciplined by Weichen, and I hope Your Majesty will punish you. Xia Wenyuan glared at the military department and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Who else has a recommendation? "Emperor Xia likes to have contradictions between civil and military ministers, this is the way of the emperor, so as not to make friends with civil and military affairs and disrupt the government.

His Royal Highness's ministers saw that the general and the secretary of the military department were suspicious of this matter, and they didn't dare to speak out again. Seeing this, Xia Yuxuan couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Father, the son recommended a person, although this person has a humble official position, but at a young age, he has made great contributions, this expedition, this person is worthy of a great responsibility. ”

When Mu Yi heard this, isn't this just him, hearing this person call himself a son, could it be that the second prince asked for his life, and when he looked at the man, he was stunned!
