Zhuge Guanqi seemed ordinary, but Hu Xiaotian saw something different from the ordinary. The Zhuge Guanqi in front of him seemed to be satisfied with his current life. Hu Xiaotian unconsciously thought of himself and when he first came to this era.
, he once thought about spending his life plainly and comfortably, but the reality gradually made him realize the cruelty of life. If he wanted to survive, he had to do his best, and he had to hold back all his energy and strength.
If you are a little careless, you will not just follow the tide, but you will be swept into the bottomless abyss of hell by the turbulent waves, and you may never get ahead in this life.
Some people's brilliance cannot always be concealed. Even if the jasper is covered with dust, the light will still shine after wiping off the dust. In Hu Xiaotian's eyes, Zhu Guanqi is a gentleman as gentle as jade. Hu Xiaotian said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law is so kind to you."
Zhuge Guanqi didn't expect that the conversation between them would start from here, so he couldn't help but smile: "What can a husband ask for when I get a wife like this? I'm very satisfied."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Guanqi didn't sleep well last night?"
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and said: "A lot of things have happened recently, so naturally I feel a little uneasy."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It seems that Brother Guanqi still can't calm down and is still affected by external events."
Zhuge Guanqi said: "When people live in this world, they will inevitably be burdened by worldly things. Unless they die, or face them head-on, or retreat and choose to escape, I am a lazy person, and I can't always muster up the energy to face life directly. In fact, think about it, I can accompany you
Ling Xue grows old together, and it is a great happiness for men to farm and for women to weave."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's really enviable."
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and said, "Miss Visa is also very nice to you."
Hu Xiaotian laughed: "By the way, I also want to say thank you to Brother Guanqi."
Zhuge Guanqi said: "Why do you want to thank me?"
"If it hadn't been for Brother Guanqi's reminder, we wouldn't have won this battle so smoothly."
Zhuge Guanqi said: "You don't have to thank me. When I help you, I am also helping myself. If the city of Dongliang County is destroyed, the situation will not be as good as the people in the city think. Any situation may happen. War will arouse the deepest feelings in people's hearts."
The ferocious side."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I also want to thank Brother Guanqi for those four words!"
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and said, "Did your trip go smoothly this time?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and whispered: "The result is quite satisfactory." The result is already ideal, but so what if there are some twists and turns in the trip?
Zhuge Guanqi's eyebrows twitched, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger. Since Hu Xiaotian was able to return smoothly, it proved that he had succeeded this time in all likelihood.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Tang Boxi is dead!" He paused and then said: "Zhao Dengyun is also dead!"
Zhuge Guanqi said meaningfully: "The burden on your shoulders is even heavier!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "To tell you the truth, I can hardly breathe under the pressure, so I wanted to find someone to help me share the load."
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and said: "If you can't bear it, others can't bear it even more."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm not afraid of hardship and hardship, but I'm afraid of the long road ahead. I accidentally lost my way, so I need a light to guide me." He stretched out his hand to grab Zhuge Guanqi's hand and said: "Brother Guanqi, are you willing?
Be my beacon?"
The two looked at each other, and each other's eyes became extremely bright.
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from behind, but it was Hong Lingxue who came out with a tray. She saw two grown men holding hands and looking at each other, and almost dropped the tray on the ground.
Hu Xiaotian felt quite guilty, so he quickly retracted his hand, stood up and said with a smile, "Madam Sister-in-law is here! I'm helping Brother Guanqi read your palm."
Hong Lingxue couldn't help laughing. How could anyone read palms like this?
Zhuge Guanqi also stood up with a smile: "Eat, let's eat."
Although it was clear soup noodles, they tasted very good. Hu Xiaotian finished a large bowl of noodles, and Hong Lingxue gave him another half bowl. After they finished eating, they packed up the bowls and chopsticks and went back to the kitchen. Seeing the scene where they were holding hands just now,
It seems that I can't bear to disturb them anymore. What's the harm in giving them some space.
Zhuge Guanqi poured a cup of tea for Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian picked up the tea cup and blew the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea, and whispered: "Brother Guanqi, what do you think?"
Zhuge watched the chess game and said, "I don't know where you want to go when I watch the chess game. How can you blindly point the way?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The south of the Yangtze River is Dakang, and the north of the Yangtze River is Dayong. I can't go on either side. It seems I can only take my own way." He clearly told Zhu Guanqi that I don't care about either Dayong or Dakang.
, from now on I will occupy a place and create my own world.
Zhuge Guanqi said: "The country is based on the people, and food is the first priority for the people. After Dongliang County accepted 30,000 refugees, the food reserves can barely survive this severe winter. Now you have to take care of Wuxing County. I am afraid that food and grass are the biggest problem. Still.
There are more than 10,000 prisoners, what are you going to do with them?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "We don't have enough food for our own people, how can we feed them?"
Zhuge Guanqi looked at Hu Xiaotian quietly. He deliberately raised this question to see how Hu Xiaotian would handle it.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Killing them will end everything once and for all, and it can also weaken the power of the Yong Navy. However, if we do this, it may further anger Dayong and force them to attack us early."
Zhuge Guanqi nodded.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have an idea to exchange these prisoners for food with Dayong, but I don't know if it can be realized."
Zhuge Guanqi asked: "How much food are you prepared to exchange for?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "One prisoner is calculated as two hundred catties, and ten thousand prisoners are two million catties of grain. The price I want is not excessive."
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and said: "It's not too much at all."
"Brother Guanqi, do you think they will agree?"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "I will agree, why not? Use two million kilograms of grain in exchange for more than 10,000 naval elites. How can this account be calculated? If Dayong is not an idiot, he should agree to your request."
"Then what?" Hu Xiaotian heard that Zhu Guanqi had not finished his words.
Zhuge Guanqi said: "They exchanged the prisoners, and then they will launch an attack on Dongliang County! Dayong will not swallow this breath. Although your Excellency defeated Tang Boxi, in the eyes of many people, this battle was because Tang Boxi was too
There is also an element of luck involved in underestimating the enemy."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Even if they attack again, after all, we have a chance to defeat them."
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and nodded and said: "Soldiers will block the water and earth. As long as there is a chance to defeat them, there is a possibility of defeating them again. In fact, what you should really worry about is that they don't care about the lives of these soldiers."
Hu Xiaotian asked: "Is it possible that such a situation will happen?"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "Tang Boxi was greedy for power and took over Dongliang County. It should be his own idea. If he and Shao Yuan had joined forces to attack by land and water, Dongliang County would be faced with enemies from both sides. Maybe the outcome of the war is not the same.
As it is now, it is a pity that Tang Boxi only wanted to monopolize this power and used Dongliang County as a gift to the new king, so he did not seek support from Shao Yuan, which led to this fiasco."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Will Shao Yuan attack us at this time?"
Zhuge Guanqi shook his head and stood up: "Shao Yuan Guard General Qin Yangming. This person is a famous general in Dayong, with both wisdom and courage. However, judging from his past achievements, there has never been a precedent for large-scale casualties among his subordinates. Try to preserve your own strength."
This also makes this person afraid to take risks, seeking too much safety in doing things and inevitably being timid. He should lack the courage to attack the city now. Your Excellency has more than 10,000 prisoners in Dayong. Anyone who takes the risk to attack the city will have one worry.
Will it anger your lord and cause him to order the execution of these prisoners?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It seems that even if they fight, they will have to wait until they exchange prisoners with me."
Zhuge Guanqi nodded and said meaningfully: "Perhaps it's time to exchange prisoners. The Nanyang Water Village should respond soon. Your Excellency, you should hurry up and prepare for war."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's a pity that Dongliang County borders Dayong on three sides. If we start a frontal battle, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties."
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and said: "My lord, at least now I have a way to retreat. It is not advisable to start a frontal war. My lord, you can consider starting from other aspects."
Hu Xiaotian was slightly startled and asked Zhu Guanqi for advice: "Brother Guanqi, please give me some advice."
Zhuge Guanqi said: "Your Excellency, every step you have taken here has been frightening and dangerous. There are only two ways in front of you. Either retreat to Wuxing County in time after exchanging food, or give up Dongliang County, which you managed to hold with great difficulty. I guess
Your Excellency should have already made preparations in this regard, otherwise he would not have rushed to Wuxing County as soon as the war ended."
Hu Xiaotian said: "What if I don't leave?"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "If you don't leave, you have to face Shao Yuan's troops. Shao Yuan City originally had 30,000 troops. Later, Emperor Yong Xue Shengkang gave Dongliang County to Dakang, and Dongliang County's 20,000 troops retreated.
Ten thousand garrison troops were also unified under the command of Qin Yangming."
Hu Xiaotian frowned. Even if he added the more than 30,000 naval troops in Wuxing County, his total strength was less than 40,000. What's more, it was impossible for him to gather his forces to attack Shaoyuan. If this was the case, Wuxing County would be empty and Nanyang Water Village would be empty.
There are still 20,000 Dayong elite navy. After suffering heavy losses in this battle, they will definitely learn from the pain and seize this rare opportunity to attack Wuxing County in one fell swoop. In other words, the navy of Wuxing County cannot be easily mobilized. If they do not want to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, then just
How can he defeat Shao Yuan's 50,000-strong army with his current thousands of troops?
Zhuge Guanqi said: "Your Excellency, you might as well ask Yu Tianxing what he thinks. He should already have an idea about where to go."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and nodded. Zhu Guanqi must have had an idea, but he didn't want to say it now. Well, since Zhu Guanqi didn't want to show off, he had no choice but to ask Yu Tianxing what he thought first. Yu Tianxing was undoubtedly a
A good knife.
After Hu Xiaotian left, Hong Lingxue came to her husband's side, stretched out her hands to gently massage his shoulders. Zhuge Guanqi smiled, grabbed his wife's delicate hand with his backhand, and said softly: "You are just sick, why don't you go and get better?"
rest?"
Hong Lingxue said: "Have you made up your mind?"
Zhuge Guanqi said: "I'm still hesitating."
Hong Lingxue said: "Liar!"
Zhuge Guanqi turned around and looked at his wife with a smile.
Hong Lingxue said: "Two grown men held hands and looked at each other tenderly, even more affectionately than they looked at me."
Zhuge Guanqi burst out laughing, stood up and hugged his wife into his arms: "Appreciation and love are never the same."
