As everyone entered the main hall, Xu Long also began to talk about the events in Northern Xinjiang.
Although everyone has heard about it, there are not so many details. After all, Xu Long is the person involved and knows all the causes.
"Cousin, I have something to ask you." Xu Que interrupted at this time.
"you say."
Everyone was curious as to what Xu Que wanted to ask.
"Did Hu Shichang intercept it?" Xu Que asked.
Xu Long shook his head helplessly: "At first, we dispersed seventy-two scouts according to the information you gave us. We thought that Hu Shichang would take the valley path, but after waiting for seven days, there was no news. Later, we learned that in Tengma Na After arriving at the county seat, Hu Shichang had already returned to Beimang along the Bingdaokou."
"Is your information accurate?" Xu Que was very confused.
"It should be accurate. After all, this is the news sold by the demon merchants." Xu Long replied.
Xu Que was very depressed. He thought that his uncle and the others could bring Hu Shichang back, but in the end he let the bastard run back to Beimang...
"Brother, although we can't deal with Gu Yongnian for the time being, he can't directly trip up our Xu family." Xu Fan comforted.
Xu Que didn't speak, just nodded.
In fact, he really wanted to tell his elder brother something, but after thinking about it, he decided not to hit him. After all, he was about to take the exam!
As everyone started chatting again, Xu Que stopped participating. After all, he was afraid that Gu Yongnian was thinking about Zheyang County!
…
At night, the Xu family was very lively, and even Xu's mother and eldest aunt sat at the banquet table.
Seeing this strange and delicious food, Xu Maofeng and Xu Long praised Xu Que a lot.
When the two of them drank the fine wine made by Xu Que, their words were so simple and crude, which made everyone laugh.
"Little cousin, I would like to toast you with this glass of wine. Thank you for saving my mother's family from disaster." Xu Long stood up and toasted.
"Cousin, we are all family members, there is no need to be so polite." Xu Que smiled and picked up the wine glass.
"This is different. Although the Zhou family does not use military force, their business methods are extraordinary." Xu Long said quickly.
Xu Que naturally knew what his cousin meant, and he also knew that in the past three years, most of Xu Jiajun's food and salary had been paid by the Zhou family.
"Little cousin, I'd like to toast you too. Thank you for your advice to me. Next year, next year I promise to be a high school scholar." Xu Hu toasted while holding the wine glass.
"Little cousin, can I give you some advice?" Xu Que said with a wicked smile.
Xu Hu didn't care at all and said directly: "Go ahead, I will listen to whatever you say!"
"Okay, that's what you said!" Xu Que said with a smile: "Our Xu family is also a military family. You are so fat, shouldn't you do some exercise? For example, follow my example of running in the morning and at night every year! "
Xu Que's words instantly caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Xu Hu naturally understood what Xu Que meant, scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Okay, then starting from tomorrow, I will learn how to run like you."
As Xu Que and Xu Hu finished drinking, Xu Maofeng took the wine glass and said to Xu Que: "Little boy, you were a clever person when you were a child, and now you are so promising, uncle is very happy. This glass of wine makes uncle Here’s to you!”
"Uncle, I don't dare to be a nephew. It should be your nephew who respects you." Xu Que quickly raised his wine glass and said.
"Our Xu family will not settle for anything more than this, and I have already given you the token. You will be the future head of the Xu family, so this wine should be given to you by my uncle." As he said this, Xu Maofeng drank a glass of wine.
Everyone knew how serious Xu Maofeng's words were, and they also knew that the Xu family would focus on Xu Que from now on.
Xu Que held the wine glass with both hands, bowed down to the ground to salute Xu Maofeng, and then drank all the wine in the glass.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, the banquet in the Xu Mansion finally came to an end.
Xu Maofeng and Xu Maocai did not leave. They also kept Xu Long and others, including Liu Bo, Li An and others.
Seeing this scene, Xu Que also knew what his uncle wanted to do!
After the servants had completely left, the door to the main hall was slowly closed.
"Little bastard, tell me, do you want our Xu family to take over, or do you want to find another master?" Xu Maofeng asked Xu Que.
"Uncle, our Xu family name is not right and we cannot survive this life, so my nephew never had such plans from the beginning." Xu Que replied.
"Then have you chosen someone?" Xu Maofeng asked.
"It's still being screened, but my nephew doesn't plan to do this until some issues are solved." Xu Que explained seriously.
Xu Maofeng and Xu Maocai looked at each other and nodded at the same time. In fact, they both knew that Xu Que wanted to know the truth of that year. After all, they also wanted to know whether the current emperor was responsible for his father's death!
"The defense of this new city is indeed good, but how do you plan to repel the Beimang army?"
"Uncle, I have something to say, and I hope you will not spread it to others." Xu Que stood up and bowed respectfully: "If you attack, you must take it, attack it and don't defend it; if you defend it, you must consolidate it, you must defend it and don't attack it. Therefore, you are good at attacking. If you are good at defending, the enemy will not know where you are attacking."
When everyone heard Xu Que's words, they were all stunned. Is this something that only a showman can understand? They have led troops and fought in wars for so many years, why are they no better than a seventeen-year-old baby...
Xu Maofeng and Xu Maocai murmured Xu Que's words, and they instantly understood what Xu Que wanted to do.
"Little boy, tell me the truth, have you realized something on your own?" Xu Maofeng asked immediately.
Xu Que smiled and said nothing, just nodded in response.
Seeing Xu Que's admission, Xu Maofeng burst into laughter: "God bless my Xu family, this is what a saint can do in this world, right?"
Xu Maofeng's words were very bold, but everyone agreed with them very much, because according to legend, the Holy Family's army became a saint because of a set of military tactics!
Xu Que was very surprised, shouldn't everyone understand this? But then he thought about it, and he felt relieved. After all, there is no "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in this world, and there is no theory of going into battle in the traditional sense. After all, what they use is military formations.
In fact, modern people understand what Xu Que said. They all know that in war, we must attack the enemy's unpreparedness, attack its weaknesses, and attack its shortcomings, win the greatest victory at the lowest cost, and maximize value at the lowest cost.
But people in this era of imperial power don't understand. If you ask them to find the weakest defense point of the enemy, they will definitely think it is the enemy's rear area. If you ask them to attack the weakest point of the enemy's formation, they will think that your general is a fool. How can you have time to find the weak point after all this work?
"Your father also told me about your bet. Are you really not planning to keep Prince Beimang?" Xu Maofeng asked.
"Uncle, do you know the most ruthless method to destroy a person?" Xu Que asked.
"Kill him? Take his family hostage? Intimidate him?"
Everyone was also confused, what is the hardest way to destroy a person...
"Little cousin, please stop being so secretive. Everyone wants to know what you want to do."
Xu Que said with a smile: "Use the available conditions to flatter and kill the Prince of Beimang!"
"What kind of method is this? Why haven't we heard of it?" Xu Maocai asked curiously.
Xu Que thought to himself, that's for sure. This method is quite clever and can directly destroy the opponent's psychological defense.
"This method is actually very simple. It can be said to destroy people invisibly." Xu Que explained with a smile: "When we flatter a person unrealistically, then the person will become blindly confident and unable to listen. Real advice and suggestions. When the time comes, let’s kick him down. What do you think will happen?”
"Suicide!" Li An said first.
Xu Que smiled and nodded: "Uncle Li An is indeed amazing. Although he is very close, he did not achieve the desired effect."
"Can he still be afraid of us?" Xu Fan asked doubtfully.
"Well, brother is great. If you and Uncle Li combine, that's right!" Xu Que gave a thumbs up and smiled.
"Is it really that scary?" Xu Maofeng asked doubtfully.
"This method takes a long time, but it is also the best method at present. Although it is not used in the current war, in the future, it will be our best weapon to eliminate Beimang!"
