"Why the pointless struggle?"

"Yes, Mother, since it's useless, why do you have to go through those meaningless struggles, dispatch Dingyuan, recruit soldiers and horses, especially ......"

"Especially what?"

"What I can't understand the most is why my mother wants me to exterminate those wealthy families and gate valves!" Tian Ji'an's expression was full of worry and uneasiness, and there were obvious doubts in his words, however, he didn't think much of these Princess Jiacheng, on the contrary, when he heard the words "Kill them all" at the end, Princess Jiacheng's eyes lit up.

"Kill them all! That's a good word! Princess Jiacheng is extremely satisfied with this way of expression, and it is obvious that killing everything is the essence of Princess Jiacheng's request.

Princess Jiacheng was quite satisfied, but looking at the satisfied look of the adoptive mother in front of her, Tian Ji'an had the heart to cry.

Located on the north bank of the Great River, Weibo has jurisdiction over Weizhou, Bozhou, Xiangzhou, Beizhou, Weizhou, and Lanzhou, which is a proper hinterland of China and the birthplace of countless wealthy families.

After this round of crazy killing, within the scope of the six states, more than sixty percent of the major clans were completely slaughtered, and thirty percent of the major clans were killed to the point that almost only the side branches remained.

Only about Yicheng, who honestly cooperated from the beginning, made Wei Bojun's soldiers not find a chance, so they were lucky to be saved.

In just a few days, more than 10,000 people belonged to wealthy families and were beheaded, and in the craziest days, even Dahe changed color slightly, in fact, even Tian Ji'an himself didn't expect things to develop to this extent.

There is a way that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, Tian Ji'an believes that now the entire Tang Dynasty has spread the news of his crazy killing of wealthy families.

"Ji An, why did this happen, but in the end, he still did what I asked."

"This, I believe in the mother's person, will never be unfavorable to me, and besides, I am used to the mother's arrangement, but whatever the mother asks, the child will do his best." Unexpected, reasonable, but Tian Ji'an's words undoubtedly gave Princess Jiacheng great comfort.

There is no mother who does not love her child, although Tian Ji'an is not from Princess Jiacheng, but Princess Jiacheng has devoted all her energy to Tian Ji'an, what is the difference between this level of care and her own?

Although Tian Ji'an's qualifications and abilities are limited, in terms of talent, she is purely filial piety, Princess Jiacheng believes that no one in the world will do better than Tian Ji'an.

Maybe Tian Ji'an is not as capable as others, but what can he do?

"Silly child, what your mother asked you to do is what can really keep you and the Tian family." Tian Ji'an was stunned for a moment, feeling that something in his heart was touched, and some things were only the last layer of window paper left before they broke out of the cocoon.

And Princess Jiacheng answered Tian Ji'an's questions at the most appropriate time.

"The early recruitment of strong men and women in the six states of Weibo will make the people lose their young and powerful people, and some people with good intentions can avoid fanning these young and strong rebellions and canceling the root of local unrest."

"Collect grain, grass, baggage and other supplies from all places, places, and all forces, so that when the Northern Expeditionary Army arrives, it will not have to travel long distances to transport grain and grass."

"However, mother, according to the news from the scouts, Guo Rong seems to have allocated hundreds of thousands of stone grain from the entire Henan Province and all the treasury of Jiangnan Province, and has prepared a large amount of ......" Looking at Tian Ji'an with doubts, Princess Jiacheng shook her head helplessly with a loving gaze, this is the gap between mortals and wise people.

People who have enough understanding should have understood the connection between the front and back when they brought up the point of grain and grass themselves.

"Ji An still remembers what Sun Wuzi said about grain and grass?"

"Sun Wuzi?" Tian Ji'an was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted that Princess Jiacheng should be talking about Sun Wuzi's military book.

Although Tian Ji'an is only an adopted son, Princess Jiacheng is conscientious as an adoptive mother, and there is no lack of education that should be received, and there is no omission of the books that should be read.

Because of the limitations of his own personality and qualifications, although he did not become a generation of male lords as Princess Jiacheng expected, at least respectful, cautious, and decent is the definition of Tian Ji'an.

If it is placed in peacetime, it is more than enough as a qualified festival, but it is a pity that Tian Ji Ansheng is in troubled times.

Although "The Art of War" does not have any specific analysis of war examples, nor does it have specific guiding content, it has immeasurable significance in the military and political fields.

Therefore, "The Art of War" is naturally also in the must-read catalog drawn up by Princess Jiacheng for Tian Ji'an.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Ji'an began to frantically search for the content of "The Art of War" in his mind, and after a long time, a passage came into his mind.

"Therefore, the wise will eat the enemy, eat the enemy for one minute, be my twenty bells, avoid the pole one stone, be my twenty stones."

"Hey, in fact, it doesn't matter, the important thing is how can there be too much food?"

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't need it, Guo Rong doesn't need it, can't the emperor Li Chun reward the grain and grass that you scavenged this time to Wei Bo's soldiers and civilians? Is there anything more popular than this kind of behavior that makes the emperor deeply rooted in the hearts of the people? ”

"As for those wealthy families and gate valves, do you think those guys are really good things? Those are just worms that inhabit this land, knocking out bones and marrow, eating flesh and blood, and what is there to worry about about their reputation? ”

"Not only Datang, but I forgot that I am trying my best to produce these measures, I wish you the experience master who lives in this land, since you are not all worried about these parasitic moths on your body?"

"Silly boy, you have to know that the people who can decide your life and death are not those ordinary people, not those wealthy families who look extremely beautiful, the gate valve, there is only one person who can decide you, and that is the emperor who came to Henan from Chang'an and drove the imperial expedition!" Having said that, even a fool can understand what Princess Jiacheng means.

Tian Ji'an is not a smart person, but he is definitely not a fool, he can naturally understand all this, and more importantly, Tian Ji'an feels that he has found a way to break the cocoon of his thinking from Princess Jiacheng's explanation.

Without responding to Princess Jiacheng's explanation, Tian Ji'an frowned, concentrated, and began to seriously think about every detail that Princess Jiacheng said.

Immediately afterwards, after sorting it out, Tian Ji'an began to review all this according to Princess Jiacheng's narration mode.

Tian Ji'an suddenly fell into deep thought, bringing a huge surprise to Princess Jiacheng. Tian Ji'an's filial piety is undoubted, from etiquette to behavior is almost impeccable, if Princess Jiacheng really has any regrets, it is that Tian Ji'an is too obedient to the arrangement and lacks his own independent thinking.

Princess Jiacheng has an expectation for the changes in Tian Ji'an in front of her, and this is why she dragged her tired body to teach Tian Ji'an today.

In this late night courtyard, Princess Jiacheng looked at Tian Ji'an in contemplation so quietly. In about half an hour, after completing the review little by little according to Princess Jiacheng's ideas, Tian Ji'an felt that the layer of cocoon in his mind seemed to be directly shattered.

At this moment, I felt that my entire thinking mode had undergone a earth-shaking change, and Tian Ji'an finally knew why his adoptive mother was so wise and so omniscient.

looked up at Princess Jiacheng in front of him, how radiant Princess Jiacheng was in the past, and when her mother from the concubine family had just died, she was so weak and helpless.

Now more than 20 years have passed, Princess Jiacheng's face and brilliance are gone, but this adoptive mother has given herself everything she can receive, at this moment, Tian Ji'an is full of gratitude.

Tian Ji'an didn't say much, because he knew that no words could express his gratitude to this adoptive mother.

Because now he clearly knows what his mother wants to see the most. Immediately, Tian Ji'an stood up respectfully, respectfully and respectfully, and gave Princess Jiacheng a bow.

Such a courtesy would make his mother understand his gratitude, and the rest would be up to his own actions, which, in his opinion, were the best words.

Faced with Tian Ji'an's sudden gift, Princess Jiacheng sat up straight and accepted it steadily, because she knew that she could bear it.

When Tian Ji'an Licheng knelt in front of him again, Princess Jiacheng asked softly.

"Got it"

"Yes, Mother! If the child is not mistaken, everything the mother asks the child to do is to prepare for the Northern Expedition of the imperial court. Princess Jiacheng didn't speak, but the smile on her face was undoubtedly the best encouragement to Tian Ji'an.

"Conscription, forcibly conscription of strong men and women, expropriation and forced requisition of grain and grass, resources like this, weakening and eradicating the wealthy family, the gate valve is so ......" continued while thinking.

"Mother said that the person who can decide the survival of the child and the entire Tian family is not someone else, but only His Majesty's decision."

"According to the information found by the scouts, all walks of life in the Northern Expedition army are in the vanguard of the newly formed forbidden army of the imperial court, and the child used to disapprove of the elite of the forbidden army, but Guo Rong led tens of thousands of forbidden troops to annihilate hundreds of thousands of Hebei elites, and now the child no longer has any doubts about the combat power of the forbidden army."

"The child has heard that the soldiers of the forbidden army can travel sixty miles a day, the speed of such a march is so terrifying, and the requirements for logistics and supplies must be huge, if it is a normal day, the preparation of the northern expeditionary army may be satisfied, but you must know that their supplies are all placed in the south of the river, so it is difficult to make up for these in the first time."

"However, through this series of actions ordered by the child, by the time the Northern Expedition of the Imperial Court, or the army of His Majesty's Imperial Expedition, arrives in Weibo, everything that the army needs will be ready, whether it is manpower, financial resources, or material resources."

"With the strength of the forbidden army, after not worrying about logistics and supplies, if the forbidden army can maintain the speed of traveling sixty miles a day, it can reach Chengde Town in seven or eight days at most!"

"The child thought that Wang Chengzong and the Chengde Town Army would never have thought that the Northern Expedition of the imperial court would be able to come to the city in seven or eight days."

"At that time, even if it can't be taken down in a battle, at least it can put the Cheng German army at a loss, and the difficulty of attacking, persuading surrender or outwitting will be reduced a lot."

"And ......"

"And what? Isn't what Ji An said earlier very good? ”

"Yes, mother, the child doesn't know much about General Guo, only that the generals around him like to walk the regular soldiers and put up battle formations."

"Not bad!" Princess Jiacheng nodded approvingly.

"However, my town army in Hebei is not a wine bag and rice bag, even if the strength of the forbidden army is absolutely impossible to defeat one against ten, but the forbidden army really only relies on tens of thousands of people to wipe out hundreds of thousands of troops in the three towns, so ......"

"So I think this general is just an appearance, just like the battle of Yunzhou in the past, General Guo led the Imperial Guard to attract the attention of the elite of Pinglu with great fanfare, however, Li Yu took advantage of the blizzard to forcibly march 200 miles in one day and one night, and killed the city of Yunzhou."

"When the hundreds of thousands of troops in Hebei were destroyed, if the forbidden army went north and was defenseless, I Wei Bo was calm and had no power to fight back, but the forbidden army did not attack, but repaired with great fanfare, giving us the opportunity to prepare; Although I had made some defenses under my mother's guidance, there were no defenses on either side of the river, and I believe that the imperial court would know that if the soldiers and horses of the imperial court wanted to cross the river, there would be no obstacle at all. ”

"These two places were originally opportunities for the imperial court, but General Guo set up a battle, and even His Majesty began to drive the expedition in person, making it reasonable to miss the opportunity, this scene was similar to He Zeng before the battle of Yunzhou in the past, so ......" was originally just a smile, but hearing this, the smile on Princess Jiacheng's face was hidden a little, and it took on the seriousness and seriousness that Tian Ji'an was very familiar with.

After a moment of thought, Princess Jiacheng's face put on a smile again, this time the smile was even brighter, she knew that Tian Ji'an would pause not only to give herself a time to think, but also to speculate that this child was not quite sure of himself in his heart.

"So, what is my son's view and judgment, don't worry, just say it boldly, maybe I can refer to it for you." Princess Jiacheng's words obviously gave Tian Ji'an a great support.

"The child thinks that the mighty crossing of the river is just a sheep attack, and its purpose is to cover up the lore that can really attack the three towns and seven inches!"

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! With applause, Princess Jiacheng nodded with satisfaction.

"So what am I worried about?"

"If the child's speculation is true, will it make Your Majesty and General Guo feel troublesome, and whether the child should send someone to cross the river in advance......
