Life is like turning a blind eye, closing one eye, and passing by in a daze.
If you want everything to be clear, you will find out later.
It’s actually useless!
Seeing Liu Yi dumbfounded, Xia Zhan glared at Liu Yi and continued, "Boy, you have to know that the world's peace begins with Huaxing and other five counties. This three-legged kick is not good. Your Majesty's plan to weaken the family, but His lifelong ambitions will be in vain. His Majesty is ambitious and wants to establish achievements comparable to those of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty. His Majesty will never be so hasty about this matter. He must have thought carefully about it. Just ordered your general."
After Xia Zhan's suggestions, Liu Yi began to pay attention to the reason why he was activated.
Since he was appointed as the Pingtian Order of the Five Counties, Liu Yi has always been immersed in the joy of power and the rush of planning. When the imperial edict came, he looked forward to the wind and worked hard, and his uneasiness did not stop at all.
Regarding the question raised by Xia Zhan, Liu Yi had thought about it, but never delved into it. After all, it was Ying Zhi and Liu Quansheng, the two closest people, who had drawn him into officialdom in the rooftop pavilion of Wangnan Tower.
He thought deeply that since the emperor regarded the Hirata incident as an important starting point for his grand ambitions, then the emperor must have the determination to succeed and the belief in victory, and "the idea of making himself the scapegoat" in his heart, It's purely a guessing at people's hearts, and nothing is true.
But, having said that, since the emperor regards Pingtian's incident as an important starting point for his grand ambitions, then it is necessary to select elite soldiers and generals. The world's heroes are united, and talents are everywhere. Since the emperor is not because of his father's relationship, why Why did Liu Yi choose him?
I can’t figure it out, Liu Yi really can’t figure it out!
He looked at Xia Zhan doubtfully, hoping that the old man could give an answer.
Xia Zhan lowered his head and thought deeply for a moment, and a past event suddenly came to his mind, a past event that was well-known to every household more than ten years ago but was forbidden by everyone.
Suddenly, Xia Zhan looked at Liu Yi with blazing eyes. It wasn't until Liu Yi was so scared that he looked away. Xia Zhan looked away and sighed, "So that's it! That's it!"
No matter how stupid Liu Yi was, he guessed that Xia Zhan had figured out the whole story. He immediately took Xia Zhan's sleeve and asked brightly, "What? Why?"
"I don't know!" Xia Zhan said haha and brushed it off.
Liu Yi suddenly became furious and said in a genuine tone, "Grandpa Xia lied to me."
"If you don't know, you just don't know!" A flash of red clouds flashed across Xia Zhan's face. The old man was embarrassed because he lied.
Without waiting for Liu Yi to complain, Xia Zhan immediately said seriously, "However, what is the reason why His Majesty chose a young boy like you to take on such a big responsibility? This is indeed a question worth considering. Boy, don't take the world for granted. The thought was too good. If he could entrust such an important task to a child who was only thirteen years old at the time just because of the righteousness of the emperor and his ministers, was Liu Quansheng stupid? Or was Liu Yan stupid? In other words, Lu Zheng was planning to compete with Zhang Liang. Are you and the other officials in the temple stupid?"
After saying a series of words in one breath, Xia Zhan was a little out of breath. After taking a long breath, Xia Zhan continued to ask, "Since the decision-makers are all the most intelligent people in the world, the reason for choosing you is worth considering. ! What do you think? Boy!"
"It was my father and my adoptive father who delivered the edict to me on behalf of Your Majesty." Liu Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "My father and my adoptive father are the people closest to me. They won't harm me, right?"
Xia Zhan glanced at Liu Yi deeply, hesitated, and then said, "Is it really just the relationship between monarch and minister? Don't you think it makes sense to summarize many things here? For example, your father is eradicating our family. Why didn't Empress Liu take you back to Beijing to report on your duties? Why did Sima Zhaonan of Shuijingzhuang appear twice to rescue you? Why could the three thousand Xuanjia Army be under your control so easily?"
"We don't want that much!"
Xia Zhan refused to tell the truth, and Liu Yi himself had no clue. After his eyes were temporarily blank, he forced a smile and said, "How can things in the world be everything you want? But I hope it will live up to my heart."
Xia Zhan groaned, as if he didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore. He laughed and replied, "Haha! It's rare to be confused in the world. Boy, you may have realized the true meaning of life!"
"Good advice, old man!"
Liu Yi immediately changed his face and said to Xia Zhan with a playful smile, "Grandpa Xia, if you have time, can you give some pointers to the incompetent brothers of the younger generation, and give us some unparalleled secrets, or practice some offensive and defensive tactics?" , while showing off your military skills, it will also strengthen the strength of our Hirata Army!"
"For the sake of the autumn wind and moonlight tonight, I promise you!"
Liu Yi was extremely happy.
Xia Zhan has been studying the art of war all his life. Although he has no actual combat experience, his theoretical foundation as a military strategist must be extremely solid. He is willing to teach by words and deeds. His subordinates such as Zhou Fu, Yun Yi, and Su Di will soon gain Improvement, under his guidance, the overall level of the Hirata Army will surely reach a higher level.
Xia Zhan agreed with a smile, and then said, "Boy, you deliberately asked the Tiger Guards to let the Huang family escape. What is your next move? I really want to know!"
"What this junior will do next depends on how Jiang Xingze responds!" Liu Yi chuckled.
Old Xia Zhan rubbed his nose and looked sideways at Liu Yi, "Last time on Paradise Island, after Xie Wei returned to Taihao City, he trumpeted that you massacred the entire Paradise Fengdu, which made people in Huaxing County panic for a while. After suffering a secret loss from others, now you actually dare to make dangerous moves?"
Liu Yi frowned slightly, "Did Grandpa Xia guess my plan?"
Xia Zhan twisted his beard and said, "Zhou Fu's brothel partner Huang Biao, I haven't seen him in the Pingtian military camp for a long time, and Chai Ling, did these two go to Taihao City to carry out some secret?" Mission? Um... let me guess, are you pretending to surrender to the enemy? Or are you hiding in disguise?"
"There are so many separations in the world, it's hard to talk about the world!" After Liu Yi groaned, he laughed and said, "Grandpa Xia, since you have seen it, don't expose me!"
Xia Zhan laughed wildly, "I'm not that boring! It's boring to expose you. As I get older, I like to go to the theater. If it's exciting, I might be able to cheer you on. If that doesn't work, I'll act with you!"
Liu Yi nodded slightly and continued, "Let's go! Grandpa Xia, the wind has picked up, it's time for us to go back!"
Xia Zhan paused, hesitated for a while, and then said, "I know a past event, but I don't know if it has anything to do with you!"
Liu Yi was about to ask.
Not far away, a young man eight feet tall, wearing white clothes and a white robe, slightly older than Liu Yi, with a high nose, sharp eyebrows and tiger eyes, and a bright and beautiful appearance, walked toward the two of them in the autumn wind.
Xia Zhan's eyes narrowed to a slit, "This person is not evil! Boy, be careful!"
Liu Yi also paid attention to the front, "The soldiers will block it, the water will cover it with the earth, the tortoise will come and there will be hot firewood, and the tortoise will be stewed in clean water!"
Xia Zhan laughed and looked at the handsome young man in the distance casually.
In just one sentence, the young man had already arrived.
When the young man saw Liu Yi, he said directly, "Master asked me to find General Xiao Liu! Ask for directions!"
The autumn wind calms the mind, but it is difficult to calm the breath, and it is even harder to calm down.
Liu Yi should have been extremely vigilant when a stranger found him in a deserted suburban village, but looking at the young man who suddenly arrived in front of him, Liu Yi somehow couldn't feel any murderous intention or hostility at all.
It was just because Liu Yi sensed the aura of aura emanating from this young man.
Looks come from the heart, and with such a temperament, you must not be a shameless villain.
After observing the words and expressions, Liu Yi decided that the topic of observing the words and expressions was over, and now it was time to talk about the inner meaning of the visitor's words.
Liu Yi guessed that what the young man in front of him was asking was of course not the road to the nearby Shiliba Village, but the way to Liu Yi and Pingtian's army.
While he was still thinking about how to answer, he saw the young man dancing his long sleeves and asking loudly, "Uncle Lingyuan, no, it's General Xiao Liu. The Pingtian Army you are leading is neither a frontier army nor unprepared." The army, which is beyond the Han military system, is the product of His Majesty's temporary initiative. In the future, when the Pingtian matter is decided, how should the general and other officers deal with themselves?"
Liu Yi saw that the young man was aggressive and his words were aggressive. He knew that although the young man had a good character, he was also coming with bad intentions. He could not be a young man from a noble family who had been implicated by Pingtian in the five counties. He came to him to cause trouble or to be used as a lobbyist, so he He asked back, "Brother, what do you think of the direction of Hirata's army?"
The young man was handsome and handsome, and said with a stern smile, "The cunning rabbit dies. The good dog is cooked. The tall bird is gone. The good bow is hidden. The enemy's country is destroyed. The adviser is dead. It's a dead end!"
After hearing this, Liu Yi asked vaguely, "Where do you start talking about this?"
"Haha, General Liu is well-read in poetry and books. Do you think he doesn't know the truth? After Jiang Feng, how can there be another Jiang Feng in Quzhou today?" The young man rushed in front of Liu Yi, slowly Pacing, he replied.
"Ah! These words are a bit heartbreaking!" Liu Yi pretended to be surprised, "Throughout the ages, public and private affairs have turned against each other, and many people have lost their lives. But the Pingtian Army is not like the Jiang clan. I, the general, led the Pingtian Army to pacify the clan. To restore the chaos, return the land and the people, and return the government to the emperor, this matter is done once and for all. If the world does not tolerate us, we will take charge of the matter and go away, hiding our merits and fame. Brother, compare us to the likes of Jiang Feng , but it’s a bit presumptuous.”
"Humph! Life is between dilemmas." The young man was beaming and spoke eloquently. "Don't you want to become a general and become famous in history? Don't you want to be like Li Si, Huo Guang, or Zhuge Liang?"
Liu Yi kept his great ambition deep in his heart, "Of course I don't want to. I am a child of a teacher. After I succeed, I will naturally live in seclusion in the countryside, teach and educate people. I have never thought about being a prince, general or minister!"
"Hmph! Never thought about it?" The young man's words were like a sword, killing people and killing people. "I never thought about it, why should I accept Uncle Lingyuan? I never thought about it, why do I want to become an official? I never thought about it, why do I want to run away again? Going west to annihilate the Jiang clan? You said you were plotting for the people of Quzhou, I don’t believe you!"
Liu Yi shuddered. His thoughts were undoubtedly predicted by the young man of similar age in front of him.
A chilling wind instantly enveloped his heart.
