Gao Yuan said: "The court's actions are really chilling. If my lord hadn't guarded the Yongjiang defense line for Dakang, I'm afraid the Yong people would have crossed the river long ago. Not to mention Dongliang County, I'm afraid the large land south of the Yongjiang River would have been
The Yong people occupied it."
Zu Da said: "We all obey your lord's orders. As long as your lord gives the order, we will send troops to Kangdu to seek an explanation from the foolish and unscrupulous emperor."
The crowd was excited, and everyone was talking about sending troops to Kangdu, seizing Dakang's kingdom, and supporting Hu Xiaotian as emperor, but Yu Tianxing never said a word.
Hu Xiaotian knew that Yu Tianxing's mood had become much lower since his defeat in the battle at Yunze Bixin Mountain. He seemed to be unable to hold his head up in front of others. Hu Xiaotian looked at him with a smile and said: "Military advisor, are you still
I didn’t tell you your opinion.” As soon as he said that, everyone looked at Yu Tianxing.
Yu Tianxing smiled, bowed his hand to Hu Xiaotian and said: "My lord, I think it is not a bad thing to draw a clear line with Dakang, but it is not advisable to follow Xichuan's approach. Being king is just a title.
, it is a matter of course, and the top priority is that we should postpone the expansion and stabilize the border defense."
Hu Xiaotian nodded slowly. Yu Tianxing's words were exactly what he wanted. They have expanded very quickly in the past two years. They have three cities in the lower reaches of the Yongjiang River, and they recently captured Yunze Bixin Mountain. In fact
A large area of water from Yunze in the south to Yongjiang in the north is under his actual control. The larger the territory in his hands, the more defensive forces are needed. However, his current military strength is still stretched thin, and he can still protect himself.
, if an all-out war against Dakang is launched, there is no possibility of victory, not to mention that Su Yuchi of Yunyang is behind him. This is a sharp knife hanging on his back. If he launches an attack on Kangdu at any time.
They may all fall into a situation where they are attacked from both sides.
Xiong Tianba protested loudly: "Is this the end of it? Just let the court frame the lord as a rebel?"
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing and said: "You have already labeled me a rebel before the court even said anything."
Everyone laughed in unison.
Hu Xiaotian said: "This opinion of the military advisor is very popular with me. We are not afraid of war, but we must not fight uncertain battles or meaningless battles. Everyone has wives, children, and children. In my heart, the life of every soldier is important."
It is more precious than gold. I will not let them make unnecessary sacrifices. To strike iron, you need to be strong. If you don't train your own muscles and bones, how can you teach others?"
Everyone was filled with emotion when they heard Hu Xiaotian's words. They all thought that Hu Xiaozhen was a wise master. In today's era, few people in high positions would care so much about the lives of ordinary soldiers. They always love the people as their own sons, but who else?
Doesn’t the superior think that the common people are like grass and grass? Hu Xiaotian’s words moved people with emotion and reason, making everyone convinced.
Hu Xiaotian's rejection of starting a war was not because of his old feelings for Qiqi, but because he had a clear understanding of the current situation. For him, the first thing he had to deal with was not the Dakang court, but to pull out the poisonous thorn in his back.
.Su Yuchi is a rare general in the Dafang Dynasty. Long Xuanen placed him in Yunyang because of his extraordinary strength. When Su Yuchi was stationed in Yunyang, he also took advantage of Hu Xiaotian's intention to go to Mangjiao Island.
He took control of Dongliang County by surprise and captured evidence of Hu Xiaotian's crimes. Unfortunately, Hu Xiaotian broke the situation in time. Ever since that time, Su Yuchi and he had been getting along well.
However, Hu Xiaotian has never relaxed his guard against Su Yuchi. When he attacked the water thieves in the Heishui Village of Bixin Mountain in Yunze, he specifically contacted Guo Guangbi of Xingzhou so that Su Yuchi had no time to separate, and successfully captured Bixin Mountain. Originally, Hu Xiaotian could pass this
After getting married for the first time, he established a firm foothold in Dakang's political arena. But now this plan has come to nothing. He has to face the possibility of being attacked from both sides, and he must be the first to break the situation before both sides form an encirclement on him.
Hu Xiaotian did not take the initiative to announce that Zhang Long Xuanen had died. This was a card that he had to use to its fullest potential.
This meeting lasted for a whole morning, and everyone reached a consensus and decided to postpone the pace of expansion, stabilize the current defense line, and take advantage of the time when Dakang's power change has not yet been stabilized to seek development and actively strengthen its own strength.
It was already three quarters to noon when Hu Xiaotian arrived at Zhuge Guanqi's home. Visa was already looking at the door eagerly. Seeing Hu Xiaotian's figure finally appeared, she came up to him and said softly: "We agreed to come before noon, now
When has it been?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Are you in a hurry?"
Wei Sa said: "I don't have anything, it's just..." She lowered her voice and said to Hu Xiaotian: "Sister is happy!"
Hu Xiaotian was also very happy when he heard this. Zhuge Guanqi and his wife have not been pregnant for many years after their marriage. Now Hong Lingxue is finally pregnant. This is a great joy for Zhuge Guanqi. Hu Xiaotian laughed and said: "So it is really me.
It’s no longer true, which made my sister-in-law wait for so long.”
Zhuge Guanqi and Hong Lingxue and his wife came out to welcome this incident. Zhuge Guanqi cupped his fists and saluted, saying: "Everything is well, my lord!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Okay! It's very good. It's even better when I heard the good news just now."
Hong Lingxue guessed that Visa must have told Hu Xiaotian the happy news, and smiled a little sheepishly. Visa walked over and took her arm and said: "You two go and talk, I will accompany my sister to talk."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Go after eating, don't go hungry."
"Let's go to the wing to eat."
Watching the two sisters go away, perhaps chatting and Zhuge Guanqi had knowing smiles on their faces, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but think of himself. He said that he had been working hard in the past two years, but there was no confidante around him.
It's weird! I'm obviously very strong in this area. Could it be that this time travel has caused problems with my survival rate? I don't have to worry about contraception anymore.
Zhuge Guanqi saw this guy's thoughtful look and thought he was worried about the current situation, so he smiled and said: "Master, let's sit inside, the dishes are already cold."
The two came to the living room and sat down. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Hu Xiaotian just talked about the details of this morning's discussion.
Zhuge Guanqi smiled after listening and praised sincerely: "My lord has a far-sighted vision, and this plan is for the future."
Hu Xiaotian put the wine glass on the table: "So Brother Guanqi also agrees with my decision?"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "I agree, I agree with both hands."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Actually, I have no choice. The situation is pressing. If we don't know how to assess the situation, we will be the only ones who suffer in the end."
Zhuge Guanqi nodded with deep sympathy: "Let the three points be calm and the sea will be brighter by taking one step back. What's more, my lord has not suffered any substantial losses this time."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I don't agree with this. Now I have become a rebel who seeks to usurp the throne, and I am despised by the righteous people in the world."
Zhuge Guanqi chuckled and said: "In such troubled times, what is justice? What is loyalty? Emperor Dakang was ignorant and immoral, and imposed excessive taxes and expropriations, which made the people miserable and devastated. How can a person who does not care about the well-being of the people have the right to talk about morality?
In the eyes of the people, this is an emperor who puts morality and justice in his heart, so why should my lord care what the court says."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Guanqi always speaks to my heart. Come on! Let's have a drink."
The two drank a drink together, and Hu Xiaotian lowered his voice and said: "Actually, the old emperor is dead."
Zhuge Guanqi was shocked when he heard this: "Dead?"
Hu Xiaotian then told the story about how Qiqi, Hong Beimo and others jointly planned to usurp the throne. After hearing this, Zhuge Guanqi was shocked. If Hu Xiaotian hadn't told the story, it would be difficult for outsiders to imagine the cruelty of this palace coup.
Hu Xiaotian's smile was somewhat helpless: "Qiqi is too ambitious!"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "The greater your ambition, the easier it is to lose yourself. In this matter, she was obviously taken advantage of by Hong Beimo."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "It's not about being used, but using each other. What Hong Beimo wants is the imperial mausoleum, and what Qiqi wants is the throne. They each have their own needs, and they hit it off immediately."
Zhuge Guanqi was very measured in his dealings. Although he could tell from Hu Xiaotian's words that there must be a huge secret hidden in the imperial mausoleum, if Hu Xiaotian didn't take the initiative to mention this secret, he would never take the initiative to ask questions. Zhuge Guanqi said: "Actually, the emperor is driving
They can take advantage of it when it collapses. My lord might as well reveal the truth. Once this matter is widely spread, they will definitely face the doubts of their subjects."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not the time yet. If I'm not wrong, they won't announce the emperor's death until the imperial mausoleum is completed. Even if we announce it, no one may believe it."
Zhuge Guanqi said: "Master, are you planning to just let it go?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Announcement of the emperor's death now will not benefit Dakang, nor will it benefit us. The fewer people who know the news, the more valuable it will be."
Zhuge Guanqi said: "That's true, at least now the imperial court doesn't have the energy to take care of things here."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and whispered: "Brother Guanqi, I want to ask you something. The man who designed the Yaochi Piaomiao Mountain Lingxiao Palace in the imperial palace was the military sage Mr. Zhuge."
Zhuge Guanqi nodded, Zhuge Yunchun was his ancestor, of course he knew this.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I dare to ask Brother Guanqi, did Mr. Zhuge leave any records about the construction of Piao Miao Mountain?"
Zhuge Guanqi frowned, then shook his head and said: "I have never seen relevant records in any ancient books left by my ancestors, and I have never heard my family talk about this matter."
Hu Xiaotian said: "This Misty Mountain is very strangely built. There are three long dragons on the mountain."
Zhuge Guanqi said: "How are these three long dragons distributed?"
Hu Xiaotian dipped his hand in wine and drew a rough shape on the table.
Today I leave for Shanghai to hold the annual meeting of Yuewen. I won't be able to go home until the 7th. I will try my best to keep updating in the past two days. As for the outbreak, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Please don't forget to vote. Octopus will continue to work hard after returning home.
