In Yang Lie's study, Chu Nan squatted on a chair, eating all kinds of unnamed melons and fruits, but he was not timid in the face of the murderous old fox.

Yang Lie held his hands like an old farmer, and his thin body was very incongruous on the wide mahogany Taishi chair. After looking at Chu Nan for a long time, Yang Lie grinned, revealing a mouth full of rotten teeth, and said, "Boy, how are you getting along with Mei'er recently?"

Chu Nan is more than nineteen years old this year, but somehow he has recently started teething again, the pain is terrible, and he said vaguely: "Eh, I told you a long time ago, your granddaughter doesn't look down on me, and the toad and the swan don't match each other." ”

Yang Lie waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Who said that? I think you two are very good." ”

Chu Nan grinned and snorted a few times, but still didn't say anything.

The old fox of the Yang family frowned and said, "Others don't know what you have been doing in the past three years, but you can't hide it from me." But after coming back for more than a year, you can't make a name for yourself except for visiting the Qinglou and drinking flower wine, at least let me have an explanation for the Yang family. “

Chu Nan was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumped up and shouted: "You old immortal, why are you investigating me?" I told you at the beginning, I just eat waste wood waiting for death, you just don't listen, you don't want to let Li Ling's grandson-in-law be so good, and now you come to blame me for not being angry!"

Yang Lie also glared at the bull's eye, and said in a rough voice: "You bastard, you don't dare to yell at Lao Tzu like this! Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't know that the Li family doll is a good seedling? Shit! How could the royal trip to the troubled waters be so good? Lao Tzu doesn't want to joke with the surnames of hundreds of people up and down the Yang family, and the example of the Shen family that was like Zhongtian back then was not enough?"

Chu Nan pursed his lips and muttered, "Don't be Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu, mess up the generations." ”

Yang Lie looked at Chu Nan, who was soft and hard, and sighed helplessly: "The doll of the Li family really made a great fortune in Mobei, last year the grassland snowed heavily and countless livestock froze to death, but they were pressed by the doll and did not dare to come to the border to fight the grass valley as in previous years. The month before last was even more remarkable, the three wars pushed the front to the border of the Hu people, and the last time the counterattack into the grassland was a matter of the time of the first emperor", he patted his knees as he spoke, as if recalling the scene of the battle in the field that year, and then sighed: "The more the Li family doll behaves as an excellent old man, the more upset I am." The whole Yang family, including Mei'er, didn't dare to say it, who didn't scold me for being a fool in my heart. ”

When Chu Nan saw that someone was praising Li Ling again, his heart couldn't help but feel a little sour, and he said disdainfully: "What kind of credit does Li Ling have? No matter how many people are killed, in addition to the water they added, the cannon fodder of the Hu people, and the border people of Daliang who were killed by mistake, what are the main forces of the Hu people who have really eaten them? Since the Hu people have joined the Hundred Clans Alliance, the barbarians in the mouths of the upper and lower Liang have also grown a lot, and now after all these years, it is too much nonsense to treat them as barbarians who just kill people and set fires. As for the fact that Liang waved his army north and broke into the grassland, in addition to the merits of the soldiers, most of them were also due to the deliberate release of water by the Hu people. ”

Yang Lie looked at Chu Nan, who was eating flying vinegar, and didn't break it, playing with the taste: "Oh, there is such a saying?"

Chu Nan was stunned by the old fox's deep eyes, and said to himself: "Hmm, I'm thinking about it." However, I have seen Tulvin, the golden wolf king of the Hu people, before, and he is far from being able to describe him. There is really a reason, I think of two, the first is obviously to pull the battlefield to the grassland, so that the soldiers of the Great Liang can come out of the city with high food and sufficient food. Hehe, when I got to the grassland, it was the home of the Hu people, and it was the environment that the Hu people were most familiar with. Second, it's the trick of Tulvin's old ghost, it's very simple to use the soldiers of the Great Liang to suppress the territory to eliminate the different opinions between the various races, consolidate power and eliminate dissidents............ Hmm, old ghost, why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?"

Yang Lie stroked his gray beard and sighed: "I originally thought that you were just in the Western Regions, but I didn't know that you were also related to the Golden Wolf King of the Hu people, tsk, Lao Tzu is really not mistaken, Mei'er is so blessed!"

Only then did Chu Nan realize that he had missed his mouth, and immediately pouted and said, "What is Mobei? I have also been to Fusang Mountain in Yingzhou in the East China Sea and Miaojiang in the southwest. ”

Yang Lie tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he didn't believe it in his heart, so he changed the topic and said, "Eh, after talking about Li Ling, let's talk about your eldest brother Chu Mad." If it is said that Li Ling is invincible in the army, then Chu Mad is much inferior in the northwest, although there is no mistake, but there are few achievements over the years, old man, I heard that someone in the court said that Chu Mad is not capable enough, and he wants to be called back.

Although Chu Nan knew that most of the old ghosts had the intention of comparing themselves, and what he said was so shallow, since he mentioned Li Ling and Chu Mad, who had been close to him since childhood, he didn't bother to care about anything, and said coldly: "Most of those poor scholars who say this. Hmph, scholars mislead the country, if they listen to their beams in everything, there will be no future, and the period of the country's destruction is not far away. The northwest is bitterly cold, the climate is complex and changeable, and most of the rash attacks are looking for death. Moreover, although there are many races in the northwest, and there are countless large and small city-states, due to the existence of the Snow Mountain Temple, if there is a war, even if they take out the troops of several small countries, those religious fanatics can exert the strength of the same number of Hu people. Over the years, Chu Mad has closed the city, but he has secretly divided the northwestern states through marriage and mutual markets, and just by looking at the number of envoys who came to Nagong last year, you can know that the results are good. Li Ling did a good job, but the situation he faced was different, just a simple comparison of the number of enemies killed to divide the upper and lower, most of them can only be done by those pedantic and stubborn idiots. ”

Yang Lie automatically filtered out Chu Nan's disrespectful remarks, stroked his beard with satisfaction, and said, "Oh, if you were to say, who is stronger between Chu Madness and Li Ling?"

Chu Nan's fingers tapped rapidly on the table, and he frowned: "Since the two of them are called the two major generals of the younger generation of Daliang, they naturally have their own merits. But if it is really a matter of going up and down, I am still optimistic about Chu Madness. Don't laugh, old ghost, I'm not talking nonsense. I grew up with both of them and got to know them naturally. Li Ling seems to be elegant and modest, but he is too proud in his bones, to put it bluntly, he is arrogant. And it's been smooth sailing since birth, and there have been no setbacks, which is certainly not a good thing, just say...... Well, let's just say that last year's Yangmei got married, Li Ling regarded the military order as child's play, and attacked rashly, although he returned with a big victory, but he could see that his surname was sensitive and emotional, if you want me to say, while there are not many wars in Mobei now, it is best to transfer Li Ling to the south, where the situation is far more complicated than Mobei, not only to test the ability to lead the army to fight, but also to see the means of governing the country and the people, carving it, it will definitely become a big thing, otherwise if he is defeated in Mobei, the capital will transfer him back, and most of this person will be ruined. In a word, Li Ling is a great talent, but he is too proud. ”

Chu Nan said that he was up, walked to the table and directly picked up the kettle and took a few sips, breathed comfortably, and continued: "And Chu Mad has been urinating since he was a child or in the shadow of Li Ling, an iceberg man who has not changed for thousands of years. Although when he first joined the army, he killed in the northwest and fell into the title of a mad general in Chudi, but he inevitably gave people the impression that he was more than brave and lacked resourcefulness. The year before last, Chu Madness was promoted to three levels in a row, and I was also shocked when I was ordered to take charge of the military and political affairs of Yongzhou, but now I want to come to the palace, but the one is really courageous. Next, Chu Maan's surname carefully sorted out the political affairs of Yongzhou, and turned a dilapidated border city into a prosperous place in the northwest, and this year I heard that the grain and grass of the northwest garrison will be barely self-sufficient, just by virtue of this, the credit of killing 100,000 enemies is also scum. It's also a word, Chu Madness, calm madman, handsome. ”

Yang Lie laughed, but the more he looked at Chu Nan, the more satisfied he felt, but Chu Nan was very creepy by Yang Lie's meaningful gaze, sullenly holding the kettle, squatting on the chair again and drinking without a sip.

Yang Lie retracted his gaze and sighed: "The Great Liang is short to establish the country, but it is precisely because of these emerging capable ministers that it can suppress the Hu people and the countries of the Western Regions." But after all, the foundation is not enough, the strong enemy is coveted, and after decades, I can only keep an invincible and undefeated situation, and I don't know if I can see it before I die. ”

Chu Nan drank saliva, but he didn't think about it, but he drank a mouth full of tea, spit out a few sips, and the surname Suo swallowed the tea, although it was a high-quality tea, the taste was not very good, wiped the tea residue from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and said: "But isn't it, now even Yingzhou in the East China Sea is ready to move, I also had a fight with a person from the Fusang Sword Sect last night, I don't know what moths they are going to make, it's really a group of things that don't remember to fight." Well, I'm done with the tea, and if you want to drink it, ask someone to get another pot. ”

Outside the door, Ding Yang'an, the hometown who had served Yang Lie all his life, agreed, and went to get tea leisurely.

Yang Lie snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to ruin such a prosperous place, the army bulldozed Yingzhou decades ago, where would I still be able to tolerate those beam-jumping clowns to show their faces." I also heard that Yingzhou sent people to ask His Majesty to withdraw the army deployed in the East China Sea, saying that it hindered Yingzhou's trade and scared away many overseas merchants, and even more openly and secretly said that Yingzhou's own strength was enough to protect itself, and there was no need for a large army to protect it. Hmph, if they continue to toss like this, sooner or later their patience will be exhausted, and at that time, I don't think they can still be arrogant, right?"

When the Great Liang was first established, the army fought in the south and the north, and laid down a big country, but the march to fight was the money and food for the war in the final analysis. In order to raise military funds, the emperor at that time was forced to issue an order not to send troops to attack Yingzhou, which is the largest port on the East China Sea, and there are countless riches in the city, so Yingzhou provided a large amount of money and grain for protection money. As a result, Yingzhou has a transcendent status in Daliang, and it is basically a country within a country. Laying down the huge country but not Yingzhou is also a thorn in Yang Lie's heart, otherwise he would not often clamore for Yingzhou to set foot on Yingzhou.

Chu Nan hurriedly calmed the excited war maniac and said: "You are so old, just leave the matter of fighting and killing to the juniors, you have nothing to do to play chess and yo-yo birds, and you should think about what you should think about." ”

Yang Lie looked at Chu Nan with a strange face, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Well, I also want to do it, what is that to make Sun, but you kid is not angry, there has been no movement for so long." ”

Chu Nan shouted: "You give me a baby yourself?" It's not that I don't want to, but .................. Forehead ............"

Chu Nan found that Yang Lie looked behind him with strange eyes, and when he turned around, he saw Yang Mei standing at the door prettyly, holding tea in her hand, with a strange face, but she looked at herself in a daze, looking at at her at a loss.
