November 16, the weather turned cooler, only a few leaves on the branches, half a month after opening, the business is still hot, Zhang Zihan temporarily managed the restaurant, although a little tired, but when he saw the second thousand searches, this goal was still high mountain Yangzhi, Zhang Zihan was relieved.

"Since the second adult can do a good job, I can also do a good job......"

And on the morning of this day, after Jiang Ning ran and practiced martial arts, he saw Liu Fu.

Liu Fu's face was a little heavy, Jiang Ning didn't know what was going on, and when he arrived in the study of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, he unexpectedly saw Bi Cheng'an who had rushed back from Ying Tianfu.

"Master Pony? What's going on? Jiang Ning asked.

Qin Yuxuan looked at Xia Yongkang, who was still deep in thought, and took the lead in speaking: "This morning, the cabinet general sent a report to Shang Shangfang, the holy decree, distant friendship and close attack, decided to adopt the opinion of the cabinet, in addition to trying their best to prevent the marriage of Dayuan and Turkic Chongjiu, both sides must be stable, first contact with it, before next year's Chongjiu, it is necessary to establish diplomatic relations with one side, and cannot fight on two fronts." ”

Jiang Ning listened to it and felt that this plan was very good, and nodded: "This is the best decision at the moment, is there any problem?" ”

He Junxian laughed: "Of course there is a problem, if we can talk about it, we can guarantee that there will be no crisis within a few years, and there will be no possibility of returning to the Hexi Corridor. ”

"We haven't talked yet, how do you know you can't talk?" Jiang Ning frowned.

"Looks like you don't want to take back the Hexi Corridor?" Qin Yuxuan said disdainfully.

Jiang Ning smiled: "Of course I want to take it back, but I want to avoid war, if there is no way to avoid it, then I can only be like King Qin and dominate the world, but the current situation is that I can't win the war." ”

"Can't win?" He Junxian said: "How do you know if you can't win?" You know if you can't win before you fight? It is really a long time for others to lose their own prestige. ”

Jiang Ning was also a little displeased: "I'm just stating a fact, you can not admit it, you can also refute it, this is your business, what I think is that you can't win." ”

"Tell me why you can't win." Seeing that a few people were about to quarrel, Bi Juma asked, "Your opinion is very important to the right minister. ”

"This result is not what we want to strive for, but the treasury can only take out five million taels of silver, 800,000 troops, while the Turks 500,000, Dayuan 600,000, in this comparison, I also know that there are great difficulties, Li Linfu concessions, talk first, talk about it before fighting, at least to ensure that we don't fight together, I also gave in, because the treasury is indeed not much silver, once it is opened, there is no turning back."

Xia Yongkang suddenly spoke, and explained the whole situation to Jiang Ning: "You said that you can't win, after all, you haven't fought yet, ten years ago in the battle of Heishui, I Daxia held my breath up and down, I must win, not only to win, but also to win beautifully, to win them to bow down." ”

Jiang Ning said in his heart, you are obviously idealistic, self-centered, overemphasizing the role of subjective initiative, exaggerating the motivation of thinking, resulting in your subordinates now following you blindly overconfident, staying at home, just sitting in the study, looking at the information sent by the frontier, you can command the war?

There is only one and only one person in China who has been able to achieve this level for thousands of years, but only a few hundred years later, and they are absolute materialists, who consider the problem on the opposite side of yours, insist on proceeding from reality in everything, and make scientific conclusions on the basis of full investigation.

But what are you now?

Jiang Ning suddenly felt that he looked down on these people, once the prime minister was still like this, one main battle, one main peace, now both sides know that this method is the most appropriate, and it is also the best policy, but they are unwilling to follow it, in the end, it is not good to make a four-like appearance, and it is not the people of the world who suffer?

This further confirms that Jiangning will take the road of independent development and speed up the progress, and some democratic ideas can now be considered for the time being, and the team will be pulled up first.

"What else do you have?" Jiang Ning's voice became extremely cold.

Xia Yongkang nodded, and He Junxian handed the letter on the shelf behind him to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning sat on the chair and looked at it seriously for half an hour before reading all the information, which was not much useful information, but for analysis, it was enough.

"First, on the part of the generals. Whether it is Tuoba Huang or Zheng Zheng Timur, they are all famous generals today, waving the six thrones and two royal courts, let's just say that the two princes of the two dynasties grew up on horseback, they want to leave the vast grassland, and our generals, who else can be counted now, except for the general Tiance and the general of the auxiliary state? What are our three princes doing? Have you ever been on the battlefield once? Have you ever killed people and seized horses with your own hands? The most important thing to do is hunting......"

"Second, on the military side. Whether it's 800,000 or 600,000, between the white mountains and black waters, how they marched and fought, how we fought, I don't have a good evaluation of them, it's just the battle of Jinling, Fang La's subordinates are all hungry people, there is no systematic training, no tactical tactics, it took three months to take it down, and it also stirred up the Ningshan Mansion. ”

"Third, the policy aspect. It is said that reading is good, it is indispensable to take a fame in the exam, whether it is to write poems, or to listen to music, how many people are there who have the talent to govern the world? The students of the academy are thinking about how to squeeze their heads into the court, and the court is thinking about how to go down to be a parent official, chanting a lot of poetry and music, and not seeing much growth in poetry and songs, but their tempers are quite big, each of them thinks of themselves as talents, prostitutes have become a trend, and even take pride in drunk Qinglou all year round, such a young talent, starve him for two days, he is afraid that he can't even walk. ”

"Fourth, the economic aspect. Five million taels of snowflake silver, which seems like a lot, but last year, the account of the household department was 21 million taels of silver, and where did the remaining 16 million taels go? It may be royal, it may be disaster relief, it may be military supplies, but what about the 20 million taels the year before last? In ten years, 200 million taels of silver, only 5 million taels remained? Some people will say, we gave the Turks and the Great Yuan, but the 20 million taels are purely in the warehouse, maybe the pockets of the court officials are more than these 5 million taels, how many such officials are there, are they in the same stream or out of the mud without staining? If five million taels are set up, how much can the military department get? Further down, layer by layer, to the front-line barracks, how much is left? Two million or one million? Do any of you have guarantees? No, because you can't afford to offend these people, the real battlefield may not be on the front line. ”

"Fifth, the temple. The three princes, fighting for power and profit, all they think about every day is to climb above the fifth floor of the Fengping Building, and when they see the owner of the building, why not in the court? The main battle and the main peace faction really released their suspicions, are they sure that they will not step on each other and suppress each other? It looks like a ball of harmony, the monarch and the ministers are concentric, in fact, the sewage below is about to drown people, maybe, this is the emperor's power technique, in order to check and balance, or maybe, this is the status quo, it is beyond the power technique, catch a group, kill a group of courts, and it will be clean? No, as long as you have a weakness, you can't be clean, some like silver, some like women, some like calligraphy and painting, hehe, do what you like, how can you have a clean ass? It's just relative. ”

After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he sat back in his position and took a sip of tea: "So, this is the best choice now, if you can talk about peace, you can talk about peace, start now, five years later, maybe there is still the strength of a war, if the talks collapse, then you can only retreat, not attack, and now it is not a wise move to take back Hexi." ”

A figure walked along the root of the wall and slowly left......
