After helping the old man into the house, Mu Lianlong sat on the chair that had been set up inside, looked at the old man who was half lying on the bed, and asked: "Sir, there is nothing to talk about between you and me now.
As a courtesy from the king and his ministers, I came here just to see you. You went to the front line and were seriously injured, and also sacrificed the two children under your knees. I really can't bear it. If there are people like you in the whole world,
In my heart, why is my country, Mu, so bullied?"
The old man hesitated to speak, but finally spoke: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not?"
"If you have anything to say, Sir, please say it. Now we don't need to take into account the etiquette between the king and the minister. Just say it." Then Mu Lianlong said to the people around him: "You all step back, I have something to say to Sir.
Place."
After the servants and maids agreed, they left. The boss and Mu Lianlong were the only ones left in the room. They said with a smile: "Now, boss, you can say whatever you want, there are only two of us here."
The old man paused and said slowly: "Let me tell the emperor a story first!"
Mu Lianlong nodded.
The old man's expression became serious, and he slowly raised his eyes upward and said: "This story happened about two hundred years ago. At that time, Sun Wu was a famous military strategist. Soldiers and farmers attacked each other, and the war
Continuously, the military strategist naturally has the Sun family, which has been multiplying and has always been valued. Enjoying the flowers, applause and cheers, in fact, all of us have forgotten that there is actually a farmer who has been forbearing.
Well, they have been fighting against military strategists for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, the manpower is weak, and many of them have unfilial descendants who do not pay attention to the rules of the farm and wander around. This has led to the decline of the farm for hundreds of years.
.Despite this, there are also those who work tirelessly among the successors. They are all people with revenge in their hearts and have the most primitive hatred towards the Sun family. They are always watching.
Soldiers, these people are like hungry wolves in the primitive jungle. They wait for a long time for their prey to take the bait, and then they will hit the target with one blow, turning the enemy into a dead person in an instant, without any ability to fight back. These people have been hiding in the dark.
The peasants behind the mountains are extremely bellicose against the military men."
When he said this, the old man suddenly looked at Mu Lianlong and asked: "Does the emperor think that you can definitely defeat this Sun Sheng? It's not that the old minister doesn't believe in the emperor. It's just that Sun Sheng is a rare genius who is rare to see in a hundred years. With the emperor,
Your rationality is basically the same. The only difference between you is chance. Sun Sheng has the experience and lessons learned by his predecessors over the years, but you, the emperor, do not. All you have is practical methods of war on the battlefield. In summary, there is a big difference between you.
There are quite a few.”
The old man's sudden change of topic confused Mu Lianlong. After listening, he realized that the old man was introducing the Sun family's history to him. Thinking about it, he was just on the battlefield.
When leading troops in battle, they really lose a lot in terms of strategy.
"How did you know these things, Sir?" Mu Lianlong asked curiously. He did not expect that Sir, he was so powerful and could know so much.
The boss laughed and said, "I lost to Sun Sheng on the battlefield this time, and it was a disastrous defeat. I have always been mentally dissatisfied, so I sent someone to investigate, and then I understood so much."
After hearing this, Mu Lianlong was relieved and suddenly asked: "Excuse me, Sir, the relationship between the farmers and the military strategists you just mentioned, does it mean that we can find people from the farmers' families to deal with the military strategists this time?
man of?"
The old man moved his white beard casually and said: "Yes, after I learned about it, I already sent someone to invite the farmer. It's just that this farmer has a weird temper and withdrawn personality.
, I’m not good at talking, and I hope your Majesty won’t be angry when you see me later.”
"What? Have you invited people from the farm family to come to Kyoto?" Mu Lianlong asked a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the boss could actually invite this legendary farmer. He was really surprised.
.
"Old minister, I have to eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor, so I naturally want to seek happiness for the country. The current situation is difficult. With these people to help the emperor, if you go on an expedition, there will be no harm. I hope that this old minister will
This method can restore the lost territory, and more importantly, it can lead to victory and return in triumph." The adult said a little melancholy.
"Sir, you can rest assured and recuperate at home. I am very cautious about going out on this expedition. I will never go out lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. Sun Sheng is a cunning person. He naturally likes to wait for work. I like this.
Master, such a person makes me feel interesting." Mu Lianlong suddenly looked outside.
The old man did not say anything, but just looked at the king in front of him. He prayed mentally, hoping that his king could come back safely in the future, otherwise the Mu Kingdom would not know where to go.
"Sir, bring the peasants you are looking for to see me. I really want to see the characteristics of the peasants who are on par with military strategists. They are so powerful." Mu Lianlong said and showed a smile.
He looked very worried.
"Your Majesty, wait a moment." The old man ordered his servants to go see the farmer and bring him.
After a while, this person arrived in front of Mu Lianlong. He only bowed slightly and said: "The peasant boy congratulates you for meeting the emperor."
"How dare you, why don't you kneel down when you see the emperor?" the eunuch on the side asked loudly.
"It's not that I don't kneel down to congratulate the emperor. It's just that the peasants have a rule that they will only kneel down to the heroes who defeated the soldiers." There was no trace of panic in the congratulation. On the contrary, it was quite calm. When the eunuch on the side saw this, he was ready.
Getting angry, Mu Lianlong waved his hand, smiled slightly, and said to the eunuch: "Go and move a chair for the congratulations."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." He bowed again to express his thanks.
After sitting down, Mu Lianlong looked at the congratulations carefully. He had a handsome face and a bit of bookishness. He was not a general who was good at commanding on the battlefield.
"How many people are there in your farm family now? Where do they live now?" Mu Lianlong asked softly.
"When my generation came to the farm, there were not many people left in the farm. There were only three people who had been studying the art of war in the mountains." Jing He said calmly.
"Three people? How can three people fight against a military strategist?" Mu Lianlong continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, you don't know. It's not about having too many soldiers, it's about being brave. It's not about having many generals, it's about being good. If I had 100,000 excellent soldiers, I would definitely dare to fight against the 200,000 troops led by Sun Sheng. I know that you, Your Majesty, will
You're laughing at me for telling big words, but farmers never talk big words." Jing He said frankly.
The boss and Mu Lianlong looked at each other, and the boss asked: "Are you confident that you can defeat Sun Sheng? Do you know how powerful he is?"
"Your Excellency, you don't know. Our farm family has always communicated with the outside world. Every war situation is clearly understood at the first time. Therefore, even though we are hiding in the mountains, we are indeed aware of the situation.
The analysis of the current affairs in the world is very thorough. The Meng State has always wanted to attack the Mu State, not only to occupy the territory, but more importantly, the Mu State is rich in products, and the north of the Meng State has always been grassland, relying solely on grazing.
To make a living, what they want is land rich in products. If you don’t believe it, you can open the map and look at it, and it will be clear that wherever the products are rich, it is the primary attack point of the Mongolian country. Therefore, in this war, they want
Aiming at the prosperous place on the border." After saying congratulations, the boss and Mu Lianlong suddenly came to their senses. Everyone had always known that the country of Mu and the country of Meng were originally the same country.
We have split into two countries. They attack each other just to seize each other's territory and achieve merger. I never thought that there is such a meaning in it.
These words made Mu Lianlong feel like he was enlightened. His eyes shone a little brightly. It seemed that he had really found a powerful helper for himself this time. He stood up quickly and said, "Okay, what you said makes sense. We will set off for the expedition tomorrow.
To attack the enemy at a convenient location, I will now order you to be the left vanguard and give you 10,000 cavalry to go to the border to support first and buy time to wait for my army to arrive. Can you find it?"
Seeing the congratulations, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted, "I accept my order." After saying that, he withdrew.
Watching him leave, the old man smiled happily and said: "Congratulations to the emperor for recruiting a tiger general. I believe he will be able to dominate the battlefield."
Mu Lianlong also laughed loudly, "Yes, with such a talented general, our army will definitely be able to regain the territory and drive the enemy out of the Mu Kingdom. Sir, just recuperate at home and wait for my triumphant return."
!”
The old man smiled reluctantly and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you. I would also like to ask your Majesty to take my dog to the battlefield. It is his nature to be loyal to the country. He has been here all day like this.
It's really unfair for Quan'er to have him serve me by my side. He is a versatile person, and it's really heartbreaking to delay him like this."
Mu Lianlong stopped smiling and remembered that the boss had already lost his two sons for the sake of the country. He felt very sad. Now the boss wants to give him the other remaining son to fight on the battlefield.
, it’s really unbearable.
"Sir, you have lost two children. I cannot take away your only son because of emotion and reason. Just let him stay by your side with peace of mind and have someone take care of you. My psychological side
It is also comfortable, otherwise I will not be able to sleep day and night. I actually understand your desire to fight, but this is too contrary to your conscience. If you sacrifice your only son again, how can you make me feel uncomfortable?" Mu Lianlong said very much.
