Fortunately, Zhuge Guanqi and Zhanpeng are all bright-minded people, so they will naturally choose to ignore them at this time, just if they don't see it.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and nodded, "Visa, it turns out that you are also here." ” Zhuge Guanqi smiled and said, "Miss Visa came to visit Cheap and brought some gifts, and the smell of meat that Master Hu smelled is it." ” Visa blushed and said, "Don't stop you from chatting, I'll go cook." ” Hu Xiaotian introduced Zhanpeng to Zhuge Guanqi, Zhanpeng came with him to protect Hu Xiaotian, in fact, he also understood that Hu Xiaotian's martial arts today no longer need to protect himself, and he also retired to the two in due course.
Zhuge Guanqi invited Hu Xiaotian to his study, and the two came to the brazier and sat down, Zhuge Guanqi said: "Congratulations to Master Hu" Hu Xiaotian smiled indifferently: "Thanks to Mr."
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and said: "Don't say that, adults, it is in the sky to make things happen, this time I really didn't help much, I just revealed some heavenly opportunities to adults in advance, in fact, even if I don't say it, adults still win." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "I came this time to drink the wine of Brother Guanqi." ” Zhuge Guanqi said: "I have already asked the cheap to prepare." ” As he spoke, he saw Hong Lingxue and Visa walking in one after another, one holding a few side dishes that had just been made, and the other holding a copper basin, which was filled with hot water, Hong Lingxue put the copper basin on top of the red clay stove, and then put the iron kettle containing fine wine in the copper basin.
Hu Xiaotian beckoned: "Mrs.
Sister-in-law, Visa, you come to eat together." ” Hong Lingxue smiled and hugged Visa's waist and said, "We have some private things to say, but we don't want you two big men to hear it."
She showed off her wisdom, of course she knew when she should be present and when she should choose to avoid it, Visa glanced at Hu Xiaotian with beautiful eyes.
His eyes were full of nostalgia that he wanted to talk about.
As the temperature of the water in the copper basin rose, the tempting aroma of wine rose, and soon filled the small study, Hu Xiaotian's eyes were relaxed and bright, Zhuge Guanqi picked up the wine jug, and poured the cup in front of the two of them full of wine.
Clean slender hands made a gesture of please.
Hu Xiaotian picked up the wine glass and drank it all at the same time as Zhuge Guanqi, the wine tasted rich, and the sealed cellar for many years has melted away the fierce breath in the wine, the aroma is rich, lingering in the throat, and it can't be dispersed for a long time.
Hu Xiaotian experienced the aroma of wine for a while.
Fang Cai praised: "It's really good wine" Zhuge Guanqi smiled: "The most important thing in drinking is not in the wine, but in the mood, the reason why Guanqi did not invite adults to drink before the war is because the mood of adults at that time is very different from now, and natural taste does not appear in this taste." ” Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Every sentence of Brother Guanqi is so thought-provoking. ” Zhuge Guanqi smiled: "How can it be so unfathomable, it's because adults think too much."
He filled two more glasses of wine.
Hu Xiaotian said: "According to what Brother Guan Qi sees, how will Dayong react after losing Dongluocang?"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "The attitude of the monarch determines the attitude of the country, if Xue Shengkang is in power."
I'm afraid that the situation of adults will be dangerous. ” Hu Xiaotian heard the implication in his words, and now Xue Daohong is in power.
In other words, my situation is much better.
He said sincerely: "After winning this battle, I feel confused, although I have won two victories in a row, but Dayong is not willing to give up, I am afraid that a wave of unevenness will rise again, and it will continue like this."
Won't we always have to face their counterattacks, when will there be a day to stop?"
Zhuge Guanqi smiled: "My lord, can you tell me what you think in your heart?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although we have won two consecutive victories, our real strength is still unable to compete with Dayong, and Dayong suffers from a light enemy."
And the commanders of these two battles are a little mediocre, once they pay attention to it, I am afraid that we will face unprecedented pressure, do not hide it from Brother Qi, I have asked people to transfer the materials in Dongluo Cang as soon as possible, and prepare for the worst. ” Zhuge Guan Qi said: "The adults are also thoughtful. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "I finally won Dongluocang, I really don't want to send it out, but Dayong is not willing, if we continue to fight like this, our soldiers will eventually be exhausted, and the difference in strength between the two sides is too big." ” Zhuge Guanqi said: "Even if Dongluocang is returned, there is only an empty shell left, even if Dayong takes back Dongluocang, he may not be willing to stop there, if they continue to march to Dongliang County, the adults will not give them the same, and then retreat to Jiangnan, based on Wuxing County and then try to develop."
Hu Xiaotian bit his lip and said, "It's not a secret, I do have such an idea." ” Zhuge Guanqi said: "The two victories really don't mean anything, but let Dayong recognize the strength of the adult, and also let the people of the three cities have awe and confidence in the adult, the big man can bend and stretch, and the appropriate concession can indeed preserve the strength, but the land owned by the adult is really limited, have you ever thought that once you retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, there is still the imperial court behind you, and what kind of attitude the imperial court will have towards your recent actions?"
Hu Xiaotian secretly took a breath of cold air, yes, although Long Xuanen has not condemned himself so far, it does not mean that he agrees with his own approach, the reason why he can make the old emperor jealous of himself is because he now has the twin cities on both sides of the Yongjiang River, if the old emperor is in a hurry, he does not rule out the possibility of throwing himself into Dayong, and now after the capture of Dongluocang, he has made himself and Dayong on the same footing.
Zhuge Guanqi said: "My lord is right, it is impossible for the soldiers to fight continuously, and if they continue to fight, they will eventually be exhausted, so if you want to truce and cease fighting, you must seek peace." ” Hu Xiaotian thought that Zhuge Guanqi could put forward a proposal that would amaze him, but he didn't expect him to propose peace, so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Guanqi, even if I want to make peace now, Dayong will not agree, even if they agree, they will inevitably let me cut my land and pay compensation."
Zhuge Guanqi unhurriedly picked up his wine glass and said: "Seeking peace cannot sacrifice your own interests, otherwise it is better to fight with all your might." ” Hu Xiaotian's heart moved: "Brother Guanqi, how can you achieve the goal of shaking hands and making peace without giving in" It is easy to say, but if you really do it, there seems to be no possibility.
Zhuge Guan Qi said: "Although Dayong is strong, but they are also in crisis within the court, have you ever thought about why Tang Boxi would send 30,000 troops to attack Dongliang County?"
Hu Xiaotian laughed, this is all a matter on the bright side, Tang Boxi dared to violate the agreement between the two countries, it was nothing more than to take Dongliang County to please the new monarch.
Zhuge Guanqi said again: "If Tang Boxi attacked Dongliang County to invite merit, and Qin Yangming gathered an army to attack Dongliang County, it was not just for revenge, but because of the defeat of the Nanyang Water Division, which severely damaged the face of the new monarch, so Xue Daohong, the new monarch of Dayong, was eager to regain face through this war, only victory can wash away the shame, and only victory can make him quickly establish prestige in the hearts of his subjects." ” "It seems that these two times are equivalent to slapping Xue Daohong's face in a row, making him lose face in front of his subjects."
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and nodded: "A few happy and a few worried, the new monarch has not yet gained a stable foothold on the throne, and most of the subjects have an eye for the new monarch to take the school, these two setbacks will inevitably affect his status in the minds of the subjects, and some other forces in the court will be stupid." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Xue Shengkang was indecisive between Xue Daohong and Xue Daoming before his death, he died suddenly, and the throne fell into the hands of Xue Daohong, presumably the Seventh Prince will not be reconciled." ” Zhuge Guanqi said: "The new monarch is on the throne, the most taboo rash conquest, you must know the truth that you must be safe inside, Xue Daohong did not even have full control of the inside of the Dayong court, so he rashly sent troops, if he wins, some people will say that he is so happy, he is now defeated, some people will say that he is mediocre and incompetent, far less than the god of the first emperor Wu Yingming, Xue Daohong must regret it very much now, the loss of Dongluocang has pushed him to an extremely embarrassing and passive situation.
The victory or defeat of several wars did not affect the overall situation of Dayong, but it could shake the rule of the new monarch. ” Hu Xiaotian's eyes lit up because of Zhuge Guanqi's words, and he took a drink from his wine glass: "Xue Daoming will not let go of this opportunity." ” Zhuge Guanqi said: "Looking at the countries of the Central Plains, the strong have appeared in turn, but in the past hundreds of years, they have been strong but not strong, male but not hegemonic, and have you ever thought about what the reason is?"
Hu Xiaotian frowned, he didn't think too deeply about this.
Zhuge Guanqi said: "Because the countries are strong, the first thing is to strengthen the army, thinking that the army is strong and the country is strong, and the first thing that comes to mind if you want to conquer other countries is to use soldiers, but you unknowingly enter the inferior." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "I want to hear it in detail" Zhuge Guanqi picked up the wine jug and filled the wine glass in front of them again: "The army is plotting, the second is the battle, the second is the army, the next is the siege, and the method of attacking the city is a last resort."
Dayong's two defeats are because of this, if you want to conquer a country, you may not need to use soldiers, take the current situation as an example, Dakang national fortune is depressed, disasters and famines, people are displaced, fleeing in all directions, Dayong could have taken the opportunity to dominate the world, but he missed the opportunity, because the first thought of Emperor Dayong is to use soldiers, although the use of soldiers can seize people's cities, rob people's land, and destroy people's country, but it is easy to leave the seeds of hatred.
The method adopted by Dayong was to unite the surrounding countries of Dakang, cut off the food source of Dakang, block the borders of various countries, and prohibit the people of Dakang from taking refuge in other countries.
Although this can further decline the national strength of Dakang, it will always provoke some people to work hard and resist, and this is the case with adults. ” I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, a family reunion, and all the best to be continued:
