"Your Majesty, come to report on the front line. Tongshun Army encountered the Varo Army in Ruoqiang. Prince Kang killed 20,000 heads with his own strength! The Tongshun Army is now heading north on the Tarim River and wants to go west from Yining Ancient Road to attack the Varo City and Almaty." He Yougui bowed and held up the battle report and handed it to Emperor Xuan Si with both hands.
"Oh? The ancestor took action?" Emperor Xuan Si narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.
"Almaty... How far is it from Valo's new capital Akmora?"
"More than two thousand miles." He Yougui bowed and replied.
"Well..." Emperor Xuan Si nodded silently, then showed a dark smile, and said to He Yougui in a deep voice: "Then I must let Valor add a few more fires to it..."
He Yougui smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean? Let the Duke of Ding become the main attacking force?"
"Haha! Zhikai! So you have a time to guess wrong!" Emperor Xuan Si laughed and walked to the map. He waved his hand and slapped the border between the Western Regions and Varo, and said loudly: "I! I want all Varo troops to be led by me! I will run and break my legs!!!"
"Let them run away?" He Yougui repeated what Emperor Xuan Si just said in a low voice, but he still couldn't understand the profound meaning.
Emperor Xuan Si looked at He Yougui who was puzzled and smiled even more proudly. He did not disturb the other party's thoughts. He directly said to Xiao Zhezi behind him: "Go to prison, take an ear from our noble little prince, and kill the death warrior! Hurry up and send it to Akmora's court! Also, the person who went there must be poisonous enough! Hard enough!"
"Yes, Xiao Zhezi understands." After saying that, he bowed and took the order.
At this time, He Yougui, who was standing beside him, suddenly realized and said, "Your Majesty, you are the Khan who wants to force Varo to bring troops from all over the country to attack him!"
Emperor Xuan Si smiled and nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Chaletu Khan of Varo is a famous person with brilliance and courage. What would he do if he received the news of Almaty being captured in a hurry?"
"Transfer troops back to defense!! Protect his new capital!!" After He Yougui pointed it out, he clapped his hands and cheered: "Okay! Go back and forth for tens of thousands of miles! By then, even if Varo's army is not exhausted to death, its morale will be greatly reduced! And the three lines of defense in front of us will be self-defeating! Our army can move in with the momentum! Your Majesty! What a plan!"
Emperor Xuan Si raised the tea bowl beside him with a proud look, took a sip, and said loudly: "The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and the opportunity to be fleeting, without fighting against Qu's soldiers is the plan for the superior attack..."
He Yougui's face changed drastically when he heard this. He stared at Emperor Xuan Si with his eyes widened, as if he had just met him today. He trembled for a long time before he pondered: "This... is this what Your Majesty said casually? Or... it was read in the military books? No... it must be wrong! I believe that I have read all the military books in the world, but none of them can match the mysterious ones just now! This... this...??"
"Sun Tzu's Art of War..." Emperor Xuan Si smiled even happier at this time. While drinking tea, he looked at He Yougui's stunned look, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War? I... Why have I never heard of it? Who is this grandson??" He Yougui came closer to Emperor Xuan Si with an eager look on his face. His strong desire for knowledge had already made him completely forget all the etiquette and law.
But Emperor Xuan Si is not surprised. After all, when he first read this book, he was shocked and even regarded it as a heavenly book. Even his generals were reluctant to give it to him. He hid in his treasure pavilion all day and studied hard on his own secretly.
But now... seeing that the old man was so old and focused on serving the country and the people, Emperor Xuan Si thought about it and put the teacup in his hand on the tea table.
Forget it, you're cheap!
"I still don't know who my grandson is, but this strange book was written by the girl Qihua. Today, I will lend it to you!" Emperor Xuan Si said, slowly stood up, came to his dragon table, took out a brocade box, and then slowly opened a layer of brocade cloth, which was full of books written by Yan Bing to him...
"That's this one..." Emperor Xuan Si handed the Sun Tzu's Art of War on Fu Tou to He Yougui.
He Yougui hurriedly walked forward and was about to reach out to take it, but suddenly he found that his palm was covered in sweat at this time. He hurriedly wiped it on his clothes and wiped it. Then he took it with excitement, but Emperor Xuan Si did not let go at all...
He Yougui slowly looked up at Emperor Xuan Si, with a look of confusion.
However, Emperor Xuan Si narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at him, and said in a deep voice: "Only the one who is trusted in this book can be borrowed. If I read it, I should punish it to eliminate future troubles!"
How could He Yougui not hear the pun of Emperor Xuan Si? He quickly lifted his robe and knelt down, and replied loudly: "I! I will work hard for my life! I will devote myself to my Daliang to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"
Emperor Xuan Si nodded with a smile, stepped forward and helped He Yougui up, put the book on his hand, patted his shoulder, and turned around and went back to continue drinking tea.
Although He Yougui was also grateful, since he opened the first page of the book, the expression on his face became more and more serious. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and suddenly laughed happily, cheered, holding the book, lowering his head, and walking back and forth in the tent, as if he had completely forgotten that he was still in the imperial tent. Until he sat next to Emperor Xuan Si, picked up the tea bowl that the emperor placed on the table and started drinking, Emperor Xuan Si could not bear it anymore and coughed twice.
He Yougui suddenly looked up, looked at Emperor Xuan Si beside him, then looked down at the tea bowl in his hand, stunned for a while, then quickly lifted his official robe and knelt on the ground, provoking guilt.
Emperor Xuan Si smiled and waved his hand and said, "I said I have lent it to you, so you can take it back and take it slowly. If there is no tea in the tent, you can also tell me clearly that I will give you some more, why bother to come and take advantage of me..."
After saying something, He Yougui was so embarrassed that he had no face to raise his head. He lay on the ground, silently saying something.
Seeing that it was almost done, Emperor Xuan Si patted Old Man He on the back with a smirk and said aloud: "Get up, go back and watch slowly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He Yougui then slowly stood up with an awkward look on his face and bowed back.
Emperor Xuan Si smiled while stroking his beard and asked the little eunuch beside him to make a bowl of new tea for himself. As a result, after taking a few sips, He Yougui came back, looked at him with a silly smile, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am just reading a book. I forgot that there is another letter from Duke Ding who has not handed it to Your Majesty."
After saying that, he took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Emperor Xuan Si with both hands.
Emperor Xuan Si took the envelope with a smile, opened it and looked at it, and the smile on his face immediately froze...
When He Yougui saw Emperor Xuan Si's face suddenly changed, he hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, this letter from Duke Ding..."
"What's the trust?" Before Emperor Xuan Si finished speaking, he looked at He Yougui with a smile on his face.
Just as He Yougui looked puzzled, he saw Emperor Xuan Si tearing the letter to pieces and pondering, "I have never seen this letter before... Zhikai, you are old and you are prone to forget things. The real number is normal..."
Hearing this, He Yougui was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized, bowed his hand, and retreated...
