For people all over the world, the answers given by each class are different to this question.
"The country is none of my business!"
"Yes! Doesn't the country belong to His Majesty? What does it have to do with us?"
"Whoever wants it can take it!"
The new soldiers followed the veteran soldiers and gathered together to talk.
Zhao Yong listened to these words and frowned: "The country belongs not only to the emperor, but also to the people of the world!"
A new soldier was astonished and said, "Commander of the Brigade, all the elders in the neighborhood have said since childhood that the country belongs to the emperor."
"Can you eat?"
"eat!"
"Can you get dressed?"
"wear."
"You eat and wear, you live in this world, you farm, or join the army, or work as a craftsman, then you are a part of this country. In this case, who do you think this country belongs to?"
The new recruits were thoughtful.
Zhao Yong continued: "What is a country? A country is a people! Countless people make up this country. And this country naturally belongs to these people."
Everyone suddenly realized.
"It turns out that we are the country!"
Zhao Yong nodded, "Can the emperor alone be the country? There must be craftsmen, farmers, businessmen, doctors, officials, soldiers... Countless people make up the country. It's just a different division of labor."
A new soldier said with admiration: "The brigade commander knows a lot."
Zhao Yong smiled and said: "These are the words of the Duke."
"Why haven't we heard of it?"
"When the superior officer convenes for discussions, he will often say something that the Duke of the country said, and I will relay it to you and so on."
Seeing the excitement of the new recruits, Zhao Yong said: "Practice hard, sweat more on weekdays, and bleed less during war!"
"In this case... the brigade marshal is also the Duke of the country, right?"
"What do you think?"
"The Duke is indeed the Duke."
Ta-ta-ta!
Several riders came slowly.
"He is the Duke's guard."
Zhao Yong stood up and said, "Stand attentively!"
His subordinates stood up and lined up.
Looking back, the soldiers who were resting in the camp stood in awe.
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of intensive horse hooves came.
Yang Xuan came down surrounded by Nan He and others.
"I've met the Duke!"
All the soldiers saluted.
Yang Xuan nodded, "The morale of the army is high. I think it's time to send troops."
Nan He said: "Yes! Ever since the Duke of Kaichun announced that he would march north, the soldiers have been waiting for this day."
Jiang Cunzhong said: "Some people said that the Duke changed his mind, and some said that the Duke wanted to attack Tanzhou. There was a lot of discussion in the army, but the lower officials did not control it."
"If you can control your mouth, you can't control your heart. If you have something in your heart, naturally say it. Just provide guidance."
Yang Xuance immediately stepped forward.
"There are always people over there in Bei Liao who say that I cannot be defeated in Northern Xinjiang, and I, Yang Xuan, cannot be defeated. Once defeated, I will be doomed. This is not wrong. Where is the mistake? They underestimated the bravery of our soldiers in Northern Xinjiang."
Yang Xuan pointed at the soldiers and said: "As long as you are waiting, our northern border will definitely win!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Later, Han Ji said to Pei Jian: "At the beginning of the spring, we announced that we would march north, but it has been delayed until now to prepare to send troops. This morale cannot be discouraged. As time goes by, it will naturally fall. I am still a little worried, but you can see
Seeing what the Duke said has boosted the morale, it can be seen that the Duke is very confident!"
Pei Jian said: "In the spring of the founding of the People's Republic of China, we planned to advance northward, not only to boost morale, but also to make the enemy more suspicious."
"The opposite side doesn't know where the National Congress is attacking. Kun Prefecture, Longhua Prefecture, Taizhou, Chen Prefecture, and even Tan Prefecture are all within the attack range of our northern border. Everyone is in danger and will be timid before fighting.
This is a weapon that defeats the enemy without fighting, and tires the opponent without fighting... My lord, what a good art of war!"
Han Ji said in unison: "I would like to ask, the Duke's art of war and Duke Pei..."
Pei Jian was silent.
Han Ji smiled and said, "I have no disrespect towards Mr. Pei."
"I know."
Pei Jian saw He Lianrong riding his horse over.
This man is quite interesting. He became the governor of Tanzhou and became the Jin Yiwei Baihu, and he was like a fish in water.
He Lianrong looked around and then rode over.
"There are hundreds of households in Helian!" Han Ji smiled.
"I've met Mr. Han, I've met Zhou Zhonglang!" He Lianrong saluted.
Han Ji nodded, "But something happened?"
He Lianrong nodded, "Our people have just returned from Taizhou, and martial law has been imposed in Taizhou."
Han Ji was startled, "Did you find it? No, if you find it, the first thing is that there are more scouts."
As he said that, he glanced at Pei Jian.
When it comes to military matters, professionals are more reliable.
Pei Jian nodded, "Lin Jun may have noticed something, but he can't tell for sure."
Han Ji said: "Maybe a raid on Taizhou?"
Pei Jian shook his head, "When the army moves, it must cover the enemy's scouts and rangers. Once they take action, the enemy will be alert. As for the surprise attack..."
"The Duke is mighty!"
Ahead, Yang Xuan finished his speech, and the troops cheered.
Yang Xuan galloped his horse through the passage in the array.
"The Duke is mighty!"
On the top of the city, Liu Qing looked at this scene with joy and said: "When he first arrived in Taoxian, the army was still somewhat suspicious of him, and even wary, thinking that he was an outsider. It didn't take long before he was cheered and loved."
"Martial men, let your achievements speak for themselves!" Song Zhen said: "Soldiers like to go to war with an invincible commander. They will feel at ease. Even if they are faced with a desperate situation, they will feel that there is a chance to counterattack. This is a famous general.
role.”
This involves the psychological level. Following the invincible commander, the soldiers can use 100% to 120% of their strength. But following those mediocre soldiers, they can use 70% to 80% of their 100% strength, which is dedication.
"The Duke is mighty!"
Yang Xuan rode his horse back to the front of the formation, "Today I will reward all the troops with wine and meat!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Alcohol is prohibited in the military, and although meat is available, if you want to eat meat freely, it depends on the commander's wishes.
Today, you can eat and drink freely!
Yang Xuan rode back and said to the general: "Send out the troops in three days."
"yes!"
Han Ji asked in a low voice: "Who can see the day?"
Pei Jian said: "It's from Taiping."
The soil expert wins another round.
Later in the evening, the three armies had a drink.
Yang Xuan was also drinking at home, but Zhou Ning was in confinement, and accompanying him was He Lianrong.
He Lianrong came to report the matter, but unexpectedly he was left behind by Yang Xuan.
"How do you feel after joining Jinyiwei? To be honest, I don't blame you!"
Yang Xuan took a sip of wine.
The dishes are hard vegetables, beef and mutton, plus wild vegetable salty meat soup.
He Lianrong took a careful sip of the wine and found it extremely delicious. "Xiaoguan was alienated at first, but then he gradually became harmonious with his colleagues. To be honest, I have always been worried about being ostracized..."
"Is it because of the people from Bei Liao?" Yang Xuan ate a piece of mutton, which tasted good.
"Yes." He Lianrong said: "At first, there were people from the Tang Dynasty who defected to the Northern Liao Dynasty, but they were always suspected. It was not until their grandchildren that they were accepted. Finally, they became the king of the Northern Liao Dynasty and became famous for a while. The lower official was originally the governor of Tanzhou.
If you have any dealings with state buses, you will be worried about being suspected and targeted."
Yang Xuan put down Kuaizi and said, "In Northern Xinjiang, everyone knows my attitude towards foreign races. People who are not from my race will have different attitudes. To be honest, if you can stand up and your wife and children are safe, Beiliao can give you more."
With so many benefits, what will you do? Will you serve me loyally in the Imperial Guard, serve as an inside agent, or abscond?"
He was looking at He Lianrong.
He Lianrong was silent for a moment, "Xiaoguan only hates Bei Liao, and he hates that his wife, children, and family were exiled to the Jedi. If his wife, children, and family come back in good health, without any need for wealth and wealth, Xiaguan will agree to serve as an internal agent."
He looked at Yang Xuan with some anxiety.
Yang Xuan pointed at him and said with a smile: "It's a good thing to tell the truth. If you say you are willing to serve me without hesitation, then your life may not be saved."
He Lianrong is responsible for reviewing the news from Bei Liao. If he has other thoughts, it will be a big disaster.
The back of Helian's crest was slightly damp and hot, "I dare not lie to the Duke. However, I think that my family may..."
"I just got the news that your wife and children..."
Yang Xuan took a sip of wine, raised the wine bottle, stood up and went over to fill the wine for him.
For the first time, He Lianrong did not express panic, let alone stand up, but... lowered his head and shed tears.
"I sent people to the north to bring your family to Northern Xinjiang. But...most of the corpses were eaten by beasts. There are still some clothes, and they were all brought back. They will probably arrive tomorrow or the day after."
He Lianrong stood up, knelt down, and lowered his head.
"Hey!" Yang Xuan sighed, "The superior is incompetent, but he vents his anger on his ministers. To be honest, this is not the imperial uncle I admired very much at the beginning."
"yes!"
He Lianrong stood up, sat down, and drank from his glass. Then he filled up his glass again and raised his glass, "The Duke will win this battle!"
"You feel less sad." Yang Xuan raised his glass.
He Lianrong raised his head and did it, and said with a smile: "My wife, children, and family are gone. The official was heartbroken with grief, but then he became calm again, as if he heard a stranger leaving."
It's not that I'm being unkind, but I know that they will be unfortunate since I learned that they were exiled to the far north, so I've already made preparations."
"However, those sorrows will be scattered over the long years, and they will pop up from time to time, which makes people feel sad." Yang Xuan ate a piece of beef and felt a little tough. "
He Lianrong said: "For the rest of my life, I will be reunited with them."
He pointed to his heart, "We are still a family here."
"You are a smart man and know the meaning of what I said today." Yang Xuan said.
"Only in this way can Xianguan completely let go and have only hatred for Bei Liao without any care. From now on, Xianguan will be loyal to the Duke of the country until death!"
He Lianrong knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty is heading north, and I am willing to be the vanguard."
"Only when your wife and children are gone can I let you go and use you. You should be able to understand this."
"Yes. I have no dissatisfaction in my heart. I just feel that the Duke is wise, so I no longer have the fear of being suspected."
"Yes, calmness, many times it is a shortcut for communication between the upper and lower levels."
Yang Xuan raised his glass and drank, and He Lianrong went over to pour wine for him.
"Do you have anything to say?" Yang Xuan nodded.
When He Lianrong returned, he saw no one at the door and felt a little moved.
Zhang Xu was standing outside the door earlier, facing him.
He raised his glass and took a sip of the wine almost greedily, "Bei Liao is now a three-legged power. He Lianchun has the honor and righteousness in his hands. However, it was a failure for him to bring in the eldest princess as a helper."
"Tell me about it." Yang Xuan nodded.
"The eldest princess is the only bloodline left by the late emperor. When she comes to assist the government, those ministers will inevitably turn to her. In this way, He Lianchun's authority is divided..."
This person is quite interesting! Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Continue."
He Lianrong said: "That's why He Lianchun is jealous of the eldest princess."
"Some people say that his suspicion is to destroy Qiancheng. What do you think?"
"No, the emperor only has authority and cannot share it with others. The eldest princess has diluted his authority. If she ignores it, He Lianchun's prestige will be greatly reduced in just a few years. Lin Ya will take advantage of the situation to suppress it. If not, there will be disaster.
The eldest princess may have no choice but to be pushed forward by her subordinates."
"It's interesting. So, what do you think it was like in the end?"
This is a test, testing He Lianrong's vision and overall view.
If you are outstanding, you may not be able to be reused in the future.
This was the thought of Zhang Xu who was leaning against the wall outside the door.
He Lianrong thought for a moment, "It is inevitable that He Lianchun would be suspicious of the eldest princess. Lin Ya would sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers, and would try to provoke her from time to time... He Lianchun was now in a situation where it was difficult to get out of the situation, and it would be difficult for him and the eldest princess to return to the same situation as before.
There is no barrier between us. The three-legged relationship has become a three-legged alliance, and even if the late emperor is resurrected, it cannot change it."
He glanced at Yang Xuan.
The duke and the eldest princess have an inexplicable relationship. If they say something wrong, just a word from the duke can make him doomed.
"continue!"
Yang Xuan held the wine glass, and the young and literary woman seemed to appear in front of his eyes.
He raised his head and looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
If there is an apricot blossom rain...
"Subsequently, He Lianchun and the eldest princess must have conflicts during their cooperation, but both of them are wary of Lin Ya. From now on, this pattern will be difficult to shake."
He Lianrong glanced at the boss again, and seeing that he was noncommittal, he continued: "To be honest, no one would abandon the sweet taste of power in hand. Otherwise, it is not a human being, but a god."
"Good analysis."
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "There's just one thing I didn't analyze."
He Lianrong said respectfully: "Please correct me, Lord."
Yang Xuan said: "Don't forget, I haven't taken action yet."
He pointed to the north, "When I lead the army to continuously attack the city of Bei Liao, this three-legged structure will undergo many changes. Maybe, they will join forces, maybe... they will join forces to guard against each other.
Of course, maybe, they will undermine each other. As the saying goes, there is no father and son before power, let alone three people who have nothing to do with each other."
He Lianrong saluted, "The Duke is far-sighted and my subordinates admire him!"
"Your flattery is good, but you shouldn't have thought of this factor in Northern Xinjiang. The only possibility is that you want to give me a chance to give guidance. Who in this world doesn't want to be a teacher?"
He Lianrong was surprised, "Yes. When Xiaguan was in Tanzhou, he could give guidance to his subordinates. After giving guidance, he would see his subordinates suddenly realize or become convinced, and Xiaguan would feel comfortable all over."
"People need to be recognized, and they also need to be needed!" Yang Xuan said something awkward and stood up, "The army is about to go on an expedition. Once it leaves Taoxian County, it will be like duckweed. I need a foothold. Jin Yiwei, please open the door for the army.
.”
He Lianrong stood up and stood with his hands tied, "I am willing to die in the service of our country."
"There is no need to die."
"May I ask the Duke, where will the first battle be fought?"
"Baode!"
Yang Xuan said: "This battle should be as fast as thunder and shock the Northern Liao Dynasty!"
