No matter how fast Chu He's brain was, he couldn't react for a while.

"You mean to let Liang Jun be ready to rebel at any time?"

Jiang Wuxian smiled and replied, "There is another meaning, that is, be prepared to be stabbed in the back by Jiangzhou at any time." ”

"You mean...... The imperial court may attack the Liang army? ”

"Of course, the two major armies of the Great Qian, the Huanjun guarding Huanzhou in the north, when the family is Song Mo, the king of Shaoshang, is the emperor's younger brother, and their own family members of the old Song family naturally don't need to be fortified. But our Liang army is different, the more we are here, the stronger the soldiers and horses, the more difficult it is for the court to sleep. Brother Chu, do you know how many soldiers and horses of the imperial court are in Jiangzhou? ”

"How much?"

Jiang Wuxian stretched out two fingers, "Two hundred thousand!" ”

Chu He raised his eyebrows, this number was indeed beyond his expectations.

"These 200,000 troops, strong and strong, eat and drink well every day, and do not go to the battlefield, so they are responsible for watching the Liang army in Jiangzhou. If our Liang army had these 200,000 people to help, we would have been able to defeat the Eastern Territory Army a long time ago. But these 200,000 people are motionless, nominally the reserve army of Liangzhou, but in fact it is set up to clamp down on the Liang army. ”

Chu He frowned slightly, "Imperial court...... It's excessive, indeed. ”

Jiang Wuxian smiled and said, "Brother Chu, do you know what the reaction was within the Liang Army after those military orders were spread out back then?" ”

"How?"

"As far as I know, most of these people were very excited when they received the order. Especially Xu Conghu, it is said that he will set off on the spot. Later, after the military order was recovered, he was furious and did not speak to the general for three months. ”

Chu He said with a smile: "Since your thoughts are so consistent, then why don't you recognize him as the master, you can save a lot of trouble." ”

Jiang Wuxian hurriedly shook his head and said: "If Xu Conghu rebels and becomes the emperor, it will not be the slightest difference from the one who is sitting on the throne now. It is better not to rebel, and let the people suffer less from the war. ”

Chu He threw a few peanuts into his mouth, and then drank a small cup of wine, feeling that what Jiang Wuxian said was a bit exaggerated.

He pointed to the busy traffic downstairs outside the window and said: "I feel that the people of Qianguo are living well, at least they are much better than Shengguo." ”

Jiang Wuxian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "My brother Chu, you're just looking at Liangzhou." Under the rule of the generals, Liangzhou was well organized, the merchants had businesses, the farmers had land, and the taxes were the lowest in the country. These are all won by the generals with the imperial court by virtue of their outstanding military exploits. ”

"Then the people of other states are far worse off than here?"

"Of course, last year the three eastern states had a bad infestation, and the land was almost unharvested. The people there, let's not talk about selling their sons and daughters, and I heard that there are not a few cases of Yi Zi eating and eating. ”

"Then the court doesn't care?"

"Tube? Not only did not release a pound of relief grain from the state treasury, but even the taxes of the three states last year were required to be paid exactly a penny. In order to keep the black yarn hat, local officials will go to the mouths of ordinary people who are already starving to death. Tell me, what kind of world is this? ”

Seeing that Chu He was silent, Jiang Wuxian continued: "Why did I commit such a big thing, but the general didn't kill me? It's because he knows what I'm thinking, why I'm doing it, and he understands me! ”

"But the general is reluctant to rebel."

"That's natural, he has lived two words in his life, loyalty. Whoever rebels, he will not rebel, but I dare to assert that no matter who the Liang Army changes in the future, it will eventually rebel, and it must be opposed. ”

Chu He said slowly: "When the time comes, the seed you planted will take root and sprout." ”

Jiang Wuxian laughed and said, "Hahaha, Brother Chu, who knows me, but there is one thing I have to correct you, that seed has taken root and sprouted now." ”

Looking at Jiang Wuxian who was radiant in front of him, Chu He knew that what he had just said was the proudest thing in his life so far, and he finally began to understand him a little.

"Then such a big thing, the court doesn't know?"

"Of course they know, but even if they know, their old Song family can't do anything, after all, they still count on the general to help them guard the western border. You said how complicated people are, they are afraid of you and hope that you will die soon, but they also hope that you will live well so that they can help them take care of their homes and homes. ”

"Then there has to be an explanation."

"That's natural, the general said that it was a mistake in the herald, and he had already taken away my first position in the military strategy department. The imperial court was barely satisfied with this explanation, and it was enough to give them face. You can't let the old soldiers in Jiangzhou really attack Liangzhou, so in the end, this matter will be over. ”

The two men ate and drank and talked, and before they knew it was already dark, they settled the bill and led their horses out into the street.

"Brother Chu, do you still remember what I just told you about the disaster in the east last year, and the change of children and food?"

Chu He nodded heavily.

"I was actually born over there, and I had this kind of disaster when I was a child, just like now. My parents ......"

Chu He's eyes widened slightly, he had already guessed something.

"My parents swapped me out for a little girl...... And the old woman who got me, wanted...... Want ......"

Jiang Wuxian suddenly couldn't say any more, tears were rolling in his eyes, and he was panting hard.

Chu He patted him on the back and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it." ”

"The old woman...... You want to cook me. Speaking of this, Jiang Wuxian couldn't help but shudder.

"But then you escaped?"

"Yes, she didn't expect that I, who was already hungry and skinny at the time, was not completely unconscious, and I was still conscious. While she was boiling water, I picked up the knife she was going to bled me and plunged it into her neck. ”

After that, the two of them walked slowly all the way and were silent all the way.

Jiang Wuxian seemed to be caught in endless memories, and Chu He didn't bother when he saw him like this.

He now finally knew why Jiang Wuxian was keen to rebel, the two of them wanted to change the way of the world.

When he was about to arrive at the General's Mansion, Chu He finally asked the last of his questions, "Did you enter the Counsel Division just for the day you became the main secretary, for the moment when you planted the seeds?" ”

"It's not all, I like the Military Strategy Department very much, I like to give people ideas." Jiang Wuxian smiled brightly, and he should have pressed the nightmare memories of his childhood back to the bottom of his heart again.

"But I always felt that it was not worth it, knowing that I would not succeed, but I just planted a so-called seed, and there was a great possibility of losing my life. You are not dead, if you are really dead, then in the future, if the Liang army rebels or not, whether it succeeds or not, whether the way of the world has changed or not, don't you can't see it? ”

Jiang Wuxian, who had a hippie smile, then said something that Chu He would remember for the rest of his life.

"Where righteousness is, when it is to die, it is to die."
