The summer is a bit hot, but fortunately Taolinyi is next to Funiu Mountain.
The mountain breeze stirred up the peach forest, and even brought with it a refreshing fragrance. After being swept into the inn, it slightly made the stinky feet of the four men in the room less annoying.
"I didn't actually say anything at the time... I just talked about some military things... What else could I say besides military affairs? I learned the art of war from my uncle when I was a boy, traveled a little as an adult, then joined the army, and later joined the army. He left the Ministry of War and has been in chaos ever since."
Li Ding said carefully.
"That day in Bianliang, I went to see Yang Shen and reported that I had been admitted to the house. I said that at the moment the country seems to be strong and powerful, but in fact it is riddled with holes and unsustainable..."
"Hmph..." Li Qingchen sneered. "What kind of hindsight are you doing here? Those who know will naturally know that Dongyi's defeat was caused by Yang Ni's rebellion. Those who don't know would think that you could predict the defeat of Dongyi in the second expedition ahead."
"When I first said this, I really didn't expect that the Second Expedition to Dongyi would be defeated. That's really not what I meant." Li Ding responded sincerely.
"Li Twelve Lang is from a privileged background and has extraordinary knowledge, but there are some things that he cannot know." Zhang Xing glanced at Li Qingchen and spoke seriously. "I was on the front line of Luolongtan that day, but I knew a little bit about it. Although Yang Ni was the main villain of the overall collapse, the front line is not that easy..."
Li Qingchen was at a loss, while Qin Bao was slightly more energetic and listened attentively.
"Not bad." Li Ding became a little more serious, probably because he realized that Zhang Sanlang in front of him was a master who would not let go of eagles when he saw rabbits. "At that time, I probably had the following ideas. Under a government army system, the government soldiers are concentrated in Guanlong, Heluo and other places. It is right to strengthen the branches and strengthen the weak branches, but too concentrated is not conducive to local mobilization and dispatch of troops. , defense should maintain a reasonable ratio...
"In addition, the government troops are concentrated in Guanlong and Heluo. There is another unavoidable disadvantage, that is, no matter how the personnel are changed and the system is changed, the army below will still be those of Yingyang Mansion. They are fundamentally intertwined with the clans and clans. When they are entangled with each other, when facing battle, they will inevitably be suspected of being a private army, so that they regard the state's public weapons as private property, retain their strength, and sit back and watch the success or failure...
"But on the other hand, for now, the soldiers who have been in the army for generations, and most of the soldiers in a mansion are villagers and old acquaintances, are still far more powerful than the recruited soldiers. Changing them without authorization also has the meaning of abolishing their martial arts.
"Finally, of course I also know the intentions of the superiors. Since the late emperor, it has been a long-standing practice to suppress the great clans of Guanlong, guard against Eastern Qi and Southern Chen, and restrain the old people of the Northern Wilderness. Therefore, I suggested that Yang Shen take over power to the Ministry of War and direct military personnel Unify the plan, select the good and eliminate the bad, reorganize and unify them, at the same time outline the geography, record the weather and time, and then report directly to the superior.
"In short, after talking for a long time, it was nothing more than to persuade Yang Shen to take on national responsibilities, clean up the mess of military strategy, and make the country strong..."
"Come on!" Li Qingchen couldn't bear it any longer. "You still say you don't have other intentions? Is Yang Shen worthy of taking on national responsibilities and taking care of the world?"
"This Mr. Li Twelve, I know what you mean. It's nothing more than asking me to speak to the Lord." Li Ding was not angry, but defended seriously. "But I would like to speak to the Holy One in person, and ask the Holy One to bring order to the world. Is there any chance? Besides, the Holy One has brought great power to the world. How can he be the commander-in-chief of everything in the domestic, foreign, military and economic affairs? At that moment, he can be the commander-in-chief militarily. To help the world, if you don't count on Yang Shen, who else can you count on? Who has this family, official position, and popularity? Is he the Prime Minister of your family? Since he is in charge of Jing'antai, how can he still touch the military? "
Li Qingchen actually thought about it for a moment, then laughed dryly and said nothing.
Zhang Xing, on the other hand, was dissatisfied: "You just talked in general terms, and your half-sister followed?"
"Of course not." Li Ding quickly shook his head. "I presented the entire preparation plan, from the organization of the army to the dismantling and establishment of Yingyang Mansion, to the division of main military roads, and the new structure of the Ministry of War's responsibilities. It took several years of hard work, and I presented it all. There are seven boxes before and after. , hundreds of thousands of words..."
Zhang Xing nodded slightly, this is a person who really does things. Regardless of success or failure, people who can have a 100,000-word attachment after the ppt should still be respected.
"However, the reason why Shi Niang ran towards me is not because of this. After all, she is just an assassin. Even if she has a little more experience with Yang Shen, how can she understand this?" Li Ding said this, but laughed again. "She gave me a high look. It was when Yang Shen listened to my story and took a brief look at the outline of the seven boxes of documents I presented. He patted the seat under his butt and said to me that I will definitely sit in his seat in the future. The position...and Shiniang happens to be holding the pot nearby."
"Yang Shen used you?" Like the other two, Zhang Xing was surprised for a moment.
"Not bad." Li Ding sighed and nodded. "I was used, but it was because of me that I had no choice but to find a reason to escape, and had to run away at night...otherwise, there would be no need for my cousin to bother me and let the daughter of Marquis of Ji'an live in a place like this Capture me? He died at the hands of Marquis Ji'an that day... In fact, it was when I realized that Yang Shen was about to rebel that I finally realized what he meant."
At this point, Li Ding glanced at the other three people in the room and shook his head again: "I am also unlucky. When I was a boy, my uncle was a famous national general, but he praised me all day long. I also had a young spirit, and I just felt that I was the one who wanted to plan the world. . As a result, my uncle died early, and I wasted half my life, unable to stretch my ambition at all. Finally, I met someone who was willing to accept me, and turned out to be a rebel. Fortunately, there was a Shi Niang who wanted to follow me regardless of my dire circumstances... But just now When I came back, I saw that Zhang Wenda from the Criminal Department was going to cause trouble in Dongdu, so I took this job to prepare to meet my cousin and avoid the trouble. However, I didn't expect that Zhang Wenda from Dongdu City died directly. Instead, I bumped into my cousin and fled. "
Everyone was speechless for a moment and felt emotional at the same time.
After a while, Zhang Xing still smiled slightly and said: "Executive member Li, since we have all been honest to this point, I have something to say. If you don't ask, it will seem hypocritical..."
"Your Excellency, please speak." Li Ding also became more sincere.
"You found out that Yang Shen was going to rebel that day and left immediately. Was it because you felt that he couldn't succeed, or because you felt that you had to be a loyal minister and never disobey?" Zhang Xing responded jokingly.
"Both." Li Ding was silent for a moment and then made a universal reply.
"Okay, let me ask another way." Zhang Xing held his arms and leaned forward slightly. "If you really think that Yang Shen can succeed, will you give up the seat that Yang Shen promised and come to be buried with the Wei Dynasty? Or will you just take your beauty and retreat into the mountains and forests, and live up to the Wei Dynasty and Qing Dynasty?"
Qin Bao and Li Qingchen both felt that Zhang San was going too far.
However, Li Ding was silent for a moment, but gave an unexpected answer: "If a man is born in the world, if he cannot capture the fifty states of Dongyi, destroy the thirty tribes of the Western Wilderness Witch Clan, unite the four seas, and then be enthroned Return to heaven, become famous in the annals of history, and be listed among the gods, wouldn’t that be a wasted life?”
The two people at the table were breathing heavily and spoke silently.
It was still Zhang Xing. He was probably used to writing these words on the keyboard. Instead, he just paused and continued to lean forward: "If this is the case, let me ask you one more thing. Do you think Yang Shen could not rebel because of him?" Is this person not enough to rely on, or is the general situation not enough to rely on?”
"Both." Li Ding also leaned forward slightly. "To be honest with you, Yang Shen is indecisive and has no strategic plan in the face of rebellion. On the other hand, I really can't imagine the possibility of the Wei Dynasty overthrowing... The late emperor destroyed the Eastern Qi, swallowed up the Southern Chen, subdued the Northern Wilderness, The three witches were only twenty years ago!"
"And the imperial court's storage is actually so rich." Zhang Xing placed his hand on the couch with emotion on his face. "There is food, cloth, and the population is here. Even though there are powerful families and regional conflicts, there is still no reason why the world is unstable?"
"This is very true..." Li Ding raised his head and sighed. "However, I always feel that something is wrong with this world, and it seems to be getting worse day by day!"
"That's it!" Zhang Xing finally raised his hand and asked sincerely. "I'm also puzzled... You said, since there is a Supreme Being in the sky and a real dragon between heaven and earth, is it possible that it is God's will?"
"God's will is unpredictable." Li Ding shook his head. "But since ancient times, the general trend of the times has always prompted God's will. God's will has never come out first and goes against the general trend... And in my opinion, if God's will is based on the will of some supreme being, gods, demons, or real dragons, it cannot be called God's will. Well, let’s not talk about the Supreme One. Since ancient times, there has been no Supreme One who has done evil and trouble. The reason why the Supreme One is the Supreme One is that they have merit in the universe... Let’s just talk about these true dragons. If they really have thoughts, they will only be killed by God’s will. Jun I don’t see, where did the four supreme beings come from, and which one is missing the dragon’s blood on the way to attaining the throne?”
"What on earth is that?" Zhang Xing frowned even more.
"Is it possible that Dongyi is still Dongyi? Although Dongyi is called Yi, it is the same as Northern Wilderness. They are both orthodox of the human race...or is it the reunification of the shamans?"
"I don't know the situation in Dongyi. Is there anything you can tell me?"
"I……"
Just like that, seeing the two of them getting closer and closer to the alley, Qin Bao and Li Qingchen looked at each other, but they both felt a little ridiculous and couldn't say anything... After a while, Li Qingchen was the first to lose patience and went back to the next door to rest. .
But Qin Bao simply fell asleep at his desk.
"Let's go."
In this way, the two of them went from the military system of the Wei Dynasty to the fate of the Eastern Yi nation, then to the future of the Wu clan in the northwest, and finally to the Demon Guard system in the Northern Wilderness. It was already after the third watch. Then, Zhang Xing glanced at the desk. Qin Bao suddenly changed the topic. "I'll take you out."
"What?" Li Ding, who had leaned forward enough to whisper to the other party, was caught off guard.
"Not to mention the possibility of finding your cousin, even if he cannot be found, it may not be possible to directly use the three guards to frame your second uncle." Zhang Xing spoke casually. "You're the only one...and what you said today, although you won't let me run with you at night, is really a heroic hero with real ability. Once I say something, there will be a response. While everyone is asleep, I will send you to you now. get out."
Li Ding stood up quickly, but was stunned for a moment, and lowered his voice to remind: "Shi Niang..."
"If you leave, Shiniang will be insignificant to this matter." Zhang Xing urged casually. "You can just find a way to return to Dongdu in the future. Then I will talk to Inspector Bai and let her find you again."
Li Ding quickly stood up and wanted to thank Qin Bao under the bed, but when he caught a glimpse of Qin Bao, he stopped hastily and stood still.
Zhang Xing, on the other hand, took the embroidery knife generously and went out grandly to the lobby. When he saw a person on duty below struggling to hold on, he stepped forward and offered to change his shift. After changing the person, he just went upstairs and waved his hand, and took him with him. Li Ding swaggered directly out of the inn, and then turned into Taolin.
"Zhang Sanlang, you are the only one who impressed me three times in one day." When he arrived at Taolin, Li Ding bowed down under the lights of the inn. "Today's kindness is deeply felt in my heart. If Zhang Sanlang doesn't give up, why don't we two become brothers of the opposite sex in this peach forest."
"Let's go!" Zhang Xing didn't bother to pay attention. He just waved his hand and couldn't urge him in time. "I've been talking for a long time, the Wei Dynasty is impregnable, and it's not like we want to conquer the world. We are still sworn in the peach forest. Besides, if we are really sworn, you will be the eldest brother... Not to mention, what happened today is that we have no basis for it. I'm going to frame your uncle with you... let's go, let's go, even if you become a fairy emperor in the future, it has nothing to do with me. I let you go today just to see that you are more or less capable, that's all."
With that said, Zhang Xing turned around and headed towards the inn.
Hearing this, Li Ding gritted his teeth on the spot, hesitated for a moment, and then neither went directly east nor west to Tongguan, but ran to the mountains to the south first.
On the other side, Zhang Xing entered the inn and did not rush to look for Bai Yousi. Instead, he stopped in the courtyard of the inn, took out the compass in his arms, and calmly recited, "Tai Shang Laojun is as urgent as a law."
As always, the compass did not disappoint Zhang Xing and bounced straight up. However, unexpectedly, the compass needle did not point to Tongguan in the west or the river in the north as expected, but fell in the Funiu Mountains in the south.
Could it be that Han Shixiong was really a drunkard and escaped alone? Zhang Xing's mind flashed to Qin Bao, who had just pretended to be asleep to cover up, and Li Ding's repeated innocent explanations, and he thought of the most speechless explanation.
But no matter what, the compass is used and there is no need to worry about it anymore.
Putting away the compass, Zhang Xing turned around and entered the inn, went upstairs to find Bai Yousi, and came to the lady's door. You still have to be polite, but after knocking on the door a few times, there was no response. Zhang Xing had no choice but to push the door open, and it turned out to be ajar.
Not only that, there was no one inside the door.
Zhang Xing was startled. If it weren't for the unique scent of Zhang Shiniang in the room, he would have thought he was in the wrong room.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xing chose to wait on the spot.
And sure enough, half a quarter of an hour later, Inspector Bai suddenly appeared outside the door, and he quickly packed his clothes and looked like he was going out.
This made Zhang Xing look a little weird.
"Zhang Xing." Seeing the person waiting in the room, Bai Yousi hesitated for a moment, and even looked away. "I had a very happy conversation with Zhang Shiniang, and we decided to become opposite-sex sisters. I had just released her and sent her twenty miles away, so that she could wait for someone in Dongdu... You should also release my brother-in-law! Then! Bring me the compass and lend it to me!"
Zhang Xing was silent for a long time. After all, he didn't know what to say, so he could only tell the truth: "In Funiu Mountain... search the mountain tomorrow?"
PS: Sorry, sorry for being late. May everyone continue to have a happy New Year.
