Listening to the vague responses of the two, the other three were a little confused for a while, and they were all guessing what kind of code words the two were talking about. But I soon remembered that the problem should have come from the somewhat mysterious box just now.

Therefore, even if he guessed that Jiang Qi had a way to persuade Xun Yu at this moment, he was extremely curious to know what was in the box.

Fortunately, Xun Yu didn't plan to buy Guanzi, and the answer was revealed after a while, only to see Xun Yu take out the picture scroll just now from his cuffs and hand it over with both hands, and said at the same time: "Please give me advice." ”

"If there is anything wrong with that, please advise me." Jiang Qi no longer smiled at Xun Yu, who looked serious, and after putting away his expression, he took the scroll and turned it around in the palm of his hand, and handed it to Xun Yu not far away.

Xun Yu comprehended and didn't procrastinate, quickly stepped forward to take the scroll, and then asked Chen Qun to help slowly unfold it. It's a pity that the mysterious picture scroll is not mysterious, and a few people can see it clearly the moment it unfolds, isn't this the picture that was sent this morning?

Although they saw the extra inscription after all of it was unfolded, after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was still a bit far-fetched if Xun Yu saw this inscription, and then the three of them set their eyes on Jiang Qi, who was calm and relaxed.

"What you see is the thirteen states of my Great Han, but in the eyes of Qi, I don't think so." Before Jiang Qilai's picture, the first point of view was still made.

Looking at the few people present who were all covering their heads and pondering, Jiang Qi pointed to the painting and continued: "Qi is born as a soldier, as a general with soldiers, he doesn't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place in wartime, so in Qi's eyes, the Han can be divided into several regions, and if you stand firm in any of these places, you can cover all places."

"One is Jiangdong, two are Shu Han, three are Central Plains, four are Hebei, five are Youliao, six are Guannei, and seven are cool!"

"Warring States 、、、、" Xun You said with an epiphany, isn't the pattern pointed out by Jiang Qi just the traces of the Spring and Autumn Seven Heroes.

"Then the prince wants to be a strong Qin?" Xun Yu also understood why Jiang Qi chose the land of the Hetao according to what Jiang Qi pointed out, and according to the examples in front of him, it almost showed that he wanted to rely on the northwest land to strengthen himself and had a plan.

"Definitely!" Jiang Qi shook his head, "Qi just wants to defend the country for the Han Dynasty, as you all know, last year's Taiping Dao rebellion has drained the last strength of the Han Dynasty, if there is a strong enemy invasion at this moment, it will definitely be worse." ”

Regarding Jiang Qi's explanation, Xun Yu did not intend to end there, and then retorted: "I heard that the Qiang people almost hit the land of Sanfu, so why didn't the prince go to guard Jing Zhaoyin, but went to murmur elsewhere." ”

Jiang Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Wen Ruo thinks that Qi Ruru can still retreat after arriving at the land of Sanfu, now the traitors in the DPRK and China regard Qi as a thorn in the flesh, if Qi sends troops, the end will definitely not be as good as Lu Langjiang, and when Qi falls, he has nothing, and he is more likely to be in a different place, so how can he talk about serving the country."

Jiang Qi may be talking about the sorrow of the leading generals, the generals who have been born and died in the past dynasties, there is simply too much blood and tears, and their exploits from a hundred battles are simply not worth those traitors who play with power all day long and bring disaster to the country and the people.

Xun Yu bowed his head slightly in agreement, then took a step forward, pointed to the inconspicuous 'several' area on the map, and asked, "Then why didn't the prince choose the rest of the places, but chose this wild place?" "

According to Xun Yu's instructions, Xun Yu and the others locked their eyes on the place pointed out on the map, although the time to follow Jiang Qi was not too long, but as strategists, they also knew very well what it was.

'Hetao' is a place that has long been forgotten by the big man, and when they saw this, several people also understood why Jiang Qi was in a good mood in the morning although he didn't choose the place they provided. Then he naturally understood why Xun Yu walked out after seeing this map, knowing everything, Xun Yu and the others couldn't help but look at Xun Yu with some blame.

According to Xun Yu's point, Jiang Qi stood on his armrest, stared at the map of the Han Dynasty and said: "Brother Wen Ruo shows a few places that are indeed unique, but Qi does not want to live in peace, I think Brother Wen Ruo must also think so, the husband should be vigorous in the world, although the Taiping Road is not a climate now, but you can see that now the building is falling down at any time, Qi Bucai, although he can't be the pillar of optimus, but he also wants to contribute to the Han Dynasty." ”

"Then the lord wants to take the land of the Hetao for my use?" Xun You asked after realizing something, but he still didn't know why Jiang Qi chose this wild place.

"Yes, the world may think that the land of the Hetao is wild, but in fact, the real Hetao is rich in grass and trees, can domesticate a large number of war horses, and the land is rich, and it is close to the big river with sufficient water, looking at all parts of the Han Dynasty, only the south of the Yangtze River can be compared. In addition, it is located in the border pass, the people of the place are very strong, the so-called strong soldiers in the world out of the secluded and, as long as the management is proper, within five years, Qi is confident to take 100,000 elite soldiers, even if the world changes, we can also save the Han in danger. ”

Although Chen Qun agreed with Jiang Qi's statement, he thought of a very realistic question at present: "Can the lord be appointed?" ”

Jiang Qi smiled and didn't take this question to heart: "I'm afraid that Zhang Rang is eager to match Qi Fa with that at this moment, besides, Bingzhou is originally a place under the jurisdiction of General Zhenbei, as long as Qi Yi speaks, maybe this eunuch will ask His Majesty to give more ordnance, grain and grass." ”

Although Jiang Qi said a bit exaggerated, but it is the truth, if he really took the initiative to defend the land of the Hetao of the state, Zhang Rang would definitely smile and agree, besides, going to this dangerous place is also the only place where Jiang Qi can keep his military power.

Xun You, who had been frowning, then spoke: "The terrain of the Hetao is flat, and it has been occupied by the Hu people for a long time, and it is difficult to expel it with our current troops. ”

"Gongda is thinking a lot, I believe that the prince will not want to take the Hetao in one go, with the current situation, take a place." Xun Yu couldn't help but remind.

"Yes, Qi thinks so too, and he has chosen a place for a long time, this is it!" Jiang Qi agreed with his jaw, and then tapped on a place on the map.

"Retrospective ???" Chen Qun fixed his eyes to report the name of the place.

"Sufang County, although it is located in the westernmost part of the state, belongs to the back set of the Hetao region, but it has a unique topography, you can enter the Western Regions through the chicken deer, and you can go to Wuyuan and Yunzhong in the north, and the most important thing is to go back to Hexi and Shangjun to enter the Hexi Corridor, which is the largest granary in the northwest." Jiang Qi explained.

After listening to what Jiang Qi said, everyone present suddenly realized, even Xun Yu, who had long thought that Hetao was a good party, after listening to what Jiang Qi said before and after, admiration also rose in his heart, just Jiang Qi's courage to die and then live was something he didn't have.

If he was to suggest, he would definitely choose Hexi, which is safer, or Shangjun, which is facing the war, before he slowly plans it.

After all, the Su Fang nominally belonged to the Han Dynasty, but it had already existed in name only, not to mention anything else, at this moment, the Su Fang had already lost the army and officials of the imperial court, not only the Su Fang, but even after the previous county guard was killed by the so-called 'mob', there were no officials to fill it.

Xun Yu thought about it, and bowed respectfully to Jiang Qi: "The general is talented!" I can't help it."

Jiang Qi didn't rush to help Xun Yu up, but took two steps back, and then bowed down and said: "If there is no reminder from Brother Wen Ruo, Qi will never think of this place, this trip is difficult、、、 I don't know if Mr. can go along?" As soon as he heard Xun Yu's name for himself change, Jiang Qi naturally invited him with joy in his heart.

"Listening to the general's words today, Yu benefited a lot, if you have the opportunity to listen to it from time to time, you can't ask for it, since the general is not stupid, Yu is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses. Yu has seen the lord! Originally, he was full of interest in Jiang Qi, and now that he has personally verified his ambition, Xun Yu naturally will not postpone it, so he agreed.

"Congratulations! Won the 、、、、、 of great talent again"

、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、

Not far from Xun's house, in a newly decorated courtyard, a beautiful young woman about ten years old looked at the old man standing on the pavilion and looking ahead.

After a while, I heard her say carefully: "It's windy outside, father, can you go back to the house?" ”

This old man is none other than Cai Yong and Cai Bojiao, who have just recovered from a serious illness, and the young woman is Cai Yong's eldest daughter, Cai Zhaoji's sister, Cai Qian and Cai Xinji.

Cai Yong didn't look back or leave, but asked faintly: "Xin Ji, why didn't you see the workers who whitewashed the houses today?" ”

Cai Qian looked at the new house, and said with an unnatural expression: "It was completed yesterday, but it's just 、、、、、."

Cai Yong heard his daughter's reply, so he withdrew his gaze from afar, then walked back to the pavilion, slowly sat down and asked, "Just what??" ”

"、、、 someone has already paid for everything." Cai Qian thought about it again and again, and then said in a hurry.

"People from the Jiang family?" Cai Yong closed his eyes and sighed.

"Father said that the Jiang family's evil man did it, and the child will go and return the money!" Cai Qian exclaimed in some surprise, and then remembered why he didn't say why he didn't say when he asked the foreman who gave the money.

"Forget it, there's no point in pursuing the past anymore, so let's stop here." Cai Yong shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"But father, that 、、、、、、"

"That's it! Xinji, don't mention this matter again in the future. Seeing that her daughter still wanted to refute, Cai Yong's expression darkened and she shouted.

Cai Qian saw that her father was angry, and then thought that her father had just recovered from a serious illness, so she quickly dispelled the idea just now and turned around to make amends one after another. Fortunately, Cai Yong was not really angry, and after a while, he changed the topic and asked, "Where did Yang Wei go、、、、

At the mention of Yangqi, Cai Yong couldn't help but think of Jiang Qi, just like the youngest daughter Cai Yan wanted to choose her husband by herself, his eldest son-in-law was also chosen by the eldest daughter herself, and Cai Yong didn't agree with this family affair at the beginning, so to this day, Cai Yong calls his son-in-law's name directly.

In fact, on the family background, the sheep and Cai families are also the right people, although the sheep family is not a generation of ministers, but the last seven generations, there are also people who have served as more than 2,000 stones, the most famous of which is the father of the sheep, Nanyang is too shou Yang continued, and he has become a model among the Qing officials because of the refusal to accept bribes because of the hanging fish.

As a son from a family, Yang Wei is also very talented and learned, and when he is weak, he will be filial piety and honesty, and it will be a matter of time before he becomes an official in the future.

is such a young talent, the reason why Cai Yong doesn't like it is because long before the marriage of the Yang and Cai families, Yang Wei had married Kong Shi, the daughter of Kong Rong, a famous man in Qingzhou, and had a son, but Kong died in childbirth when he gave birth to a child.

Therefore, Cai Yong has never liked this son-in-law who is several years older than his daughter.

Hearing her father suddenly mention her husband, who had never had a good face, Cai Qian immediately laughed and said, "My husband went out to visit friends, and he may come back very late." ”

Cai Qian knew that her father had never liked her husband very much, and originally wanted to let her husband behave well and ease the relationship between the two through this little sister's marriage, but who would have thought that the originally good things had become so complicated.

"It's okay to walk around, but Xinji, you'd better remind you, husband, this officialdom is dark, some things can be done, and some things should not be touched, otherwise you will die, and you will only be used as a gun by others."

Cai Qian looked at her father's long sigh, and asked a little panickedly: "Does my father know something, and is my husband in danger?" ”

"I have thought a lot of things for my father these days, and I have understood a lot of things, thinking back to the past more than ten years as an official, and I have experienced countless things, if Xinji still believes in my father, then let your husband not get involved in today's affairs, although my father knows that Yang Wei wants my Cai family to find dignity, but Jiang Boxiao is a good match?"

Saying that, Cai Yong patted his daughter's hand, then stood up and slowly paced towards the house, and continued while walking: "Do you think that Jiang Boxiao can be crowned a marquis within a year at the age of a weak crown?" ”

"If the father's guess is good, it won't be long before the Han will be in chaos, maybe he can really be saved by this son then, I think it is still Zhao Ji's discerning eyes, although this son is reckless, but it is also affectionate and righteous, if he wants to take revenge privately, I Cai, Yang including the Wei family, may be wiped out with a snap of a finger."
