Back Off, Let Me Come

"My Lord, are you going to appoint Qian Shuhe as the commander this time?"

The court meeting was not held every day. On the days when there was no court meeting, a few people were summoned to discuss matters. After several years of experience, the government affairs that once troubled Shen Tang can be easily handled. If he performs exceptionally well, he can still rest for several hours a day. Shen Tang does not have any special hobbies. He can pass the time by planting flowers, trees, fishing, riding horses and archery.

After the special court meeting, the Lord achieved his goal of being punished.

Qi Shan came to ask for an audience. She was tidying up the small flower garden.

Qi Shan saw an unspecified appointment edict on the stone table in the pavilion next to him. Qi Shan knew what was written in it.

Shen Tang put down the small shovel, took the cloth handed by the palace servant and wiped his hands carefully: "Well, Qian Shuhe has also worked hard in the past few years. He has been coveting the commander for so many years, and this time it is just to make his dream come true. But if this battle is lost, he will have to take all the blame..."

Qian Yong is definitely the most treacherous among the generals.

He always talks about others and can get away with it every time. Compared with Qian Yong, Dayi and his men were not so sharp and smooth.

Speaking of Zhao Feng and his men, Shen Tang could not help but sigh.

"I didn't expect Dayi to make trouble. He was originally a very stable person. Gong Su was so scared that he came to me overnight."

She knew that these people had no ulterior motives and had no intention of testing her bottom line. It was purely their instinct to expand their territory to attack Zhenguo, but this trend should not be encouraged, and the loopholes should not be opened randomly. If the trend is not suppressed this time, when Kangguo becomes stronger, this group of energetic guys will do something to fight. Those who are good at fighting and have discipline are called elite troops, and those who act casually can only be a mob, or even a mad dog.

"Zhao Dayi was not stable to begin with, but Qin Gongsu was always watching him, so he didn't have the chance to make mistakes. Qin Gongsu was too busy in recent years and couldn't take care of him, so it's normal for him to be confused for a while." Qi Shan suppressed his smile, "It's good that he still knows how to be afraid."

The most troublesome thing is the fearless rolling meat.

To use Gu Wangchao's nonsense -

Being favored makes people fearless.

Didn't Zhao Feng clearly feel the trust given by the master, and for a moment he got carried away and blurred the boundaries between the monarch and the minister? Fortunately, it was just a small sign, which was discovered in time and nipped in the bud, eliminating the hidden danger in the bud. Shen Tang pushed a plate of cherries to Qi Shan, and Qi Shan said: "In fact, the master should also bear some responsibility."

The one who is not surprised by the favor or the disgrace is a saint.

"You also want to say that loving mothers often spoil their children?"

"Also?"

"Wangchao told me yesterday that 'loving mothers often spoil their children' and 'benevolent monarchs often have treacherous ministers'..." Shen Tang was speechless and choked on the spot. She seriously suspected that the court was a large-scale SM game. If the monarch is not strict and domineering, the ministers will feel uncomfortable all over their skin and will not feel satisfied until she whips them a few times.

Qishan: "... He really said all kinds of nonsense."

Shen Tang chuckled and said, "He also said that you have many tricks."

Qishan has many political enemies. This time, he took the initiative to fish for law enforcement, and the monarch and his ministers sang the same tune. Are you really not afraid of playing too hard? Shen Tang will not be affected, but the memorials to Qishan must be more than snowflakes.

Qishan said nothing and finished a plate of cherries by himself.

In Kangguo, the palace has the most fruits and vegetables. Qishan stayed until dark before going back, and finally did not forget to eat and take. As soon as he arrived at his place of residence, someone reported that there were guests at home. Qi Shan knew who it was without having to guess: "Guest? Is it Qin Gongsu?"

The visitor was Qin Li. As soon as Qi Shan arrived at the study, he saw a man holding a scroll under the warm orange candlelight: "Gongsu's arrival is unfortunate. Qi Mou had dinner outside. The kitchen is closed today. If you are hungry, you might as well drink some tea to fill your stomach."

Qin Li was too lazy to get up to give his host face. He turned a page and replied sarcastically: "Knowing that your family is poor, the mice have to make a detour to make a living. I prepared the table early to save you a meal."

Qi Shan curled his lips: "You are becoming more and more sarcastic."

Qin Li sneered: "Isn't it that people who are close to ink are black?"

Even if someone wants to blame someone, he can only blame the pool of ink.

Qi Shan was too lazy to argue with him, so he sat down with his clothes lifted. There was indeed an exquisite food box on the table, and the aroma of food wafted out from it. There was also a pair of wine vessels at the bottom of the food box: "Well prepared, Master Qin knows how to enjoy it."

He said he had eaten before, but then he picked up the chopsticks and ate heartily.

He could eat three mouthfuls with one chopstick of Qin Li.

"Why are you so anxious?"

This was also something Qin Li couldn't figure out.

Last year, he fought with Beimo, and at the beginning of the year, he fought a bloody battle with Gaoguo. In the blink of an eye, two major battles were fought in two years. Just when he could have a peaceful New Year, the master provoked Zhenguo again. Qin Li didn't advocate fighting, he just felt that the signs of this war came too quickly.

At least wait until the beginning of spring, right?

At first, he didn't think of Qi Shan, who was also one of the people who listened to the training today. After thinking about it, Qin Li understood the connection. It might be that the master and Qi Shan were singing a double act!

Qi Shan buried his head in his food and said, "It's better to do it sooner rather than later."

We have to fight sooner or later, so let's fight now.

Qin Li had to remind him, "What do you mean by sooner rather than later? The four states we have just acquired have just stabilized! Most of the former Gaoguo rebels have been cleared out, and some have been driven out of the country. They are eyeing us covetously, and we can't afford to be careless at all!"

Qi Shan held the chopsticks in one hand and the bowl in the other.

He was eating sweetly just now, but now he has no appetite.

Qin Li said, "If we move against Zhenguo now, we will alert the enemy."

It will be very disadvantageous for the layout of the central continent later.

Qi Shanze said: "So we must fight quickly. As long as we fight quickly enough, the countries in the central continent will not dare to have any thoughts."

Kang State has unified the northwest continent, and whether it likes it or not, it has become a thorn in the side of nearby countries. A good neighbor must not have a huge body that brings a strong sense of oppression to him. It is best to be as thin and weak as himself, so that he can sit back and relax. Instead of waiting for them to react and take action, it is better to kill the chicken first to scare the monkeys.

Use your chopsticks to tap the edge of the plate.

The two lightly touched each other and made a tinkling sound, which seemed to be able to absorb all the people's thoughts: "Gong Su, I know you want to go more steadily, recharge your batteries, and then take the opportunity to annex and encroach. However, you have also forgotten that we Wherever you are. Every country on this continent is a beast that eats people without spitting out their bones! Do you know how to make the beasts afraid?"

"Kill their accomplices in front of them."

"Thunder strike, one strike will kill!"

"That's why they will be afraid, and then they will give up the idea of ​​joining forces to kill you, and then they won't dare to easily come forward to test your true strength!"

Jeongguk is the unlucky guy who comes to his door.

It's not that Qin Li's approach is impossible, it's just not suitable.

Qishan told a shocking news: "The Lord appointed Qian Shuhe as commander-in-chief because he promised a military order."

Qin Li wanted to get an answer during this trip. Since the Lord has made up his mind, as a minister, he can only fully support this path - not understanding, but executing! But I didn't expect Qian Yong to issue a military order! Qin Li asked: "What military order did Uncle Qian give?"

"Three days, the Lord only gives Uncle Qian and three days."

"Three days?"

"Yes, there will be no more Zhenguo in three days."

Since you want excitement, follow through and have a big one!

It takes three days to wipe out a country.

Qin Li gasped: "How is this possible?"

Even if this country is just a small country, it still has a national title. Is it too unrealistic to wipe the other country out of the mainland in three days? Anyone who listens to it will think that the military order is deliberately making things difficult.

Qishan said: "The time given by the Lord is seven days."

The Zhen Kingdom lacked resources and could not raise many soldiers and horses, and it was even less able to transform its offensive and defensive terrain to defend against the enemy. Zhenguo has neither geographical advantage nor harmony. As for the weather, it depends on whether Zhenguo's neighboring countries are willing to send troops to defend their neighbors. Seven days is a bit short, but it is not impossible for the Lord to provide sufficient troops.

"How could it be three days?"

Qishan hummed: "Why else?"

Of course it was Uncle Qian and himself who brought it up.

Qian Yong: [No need for seven days, give the general three days, from sending troops to attack the city to setting foot in their capital, three days is enough! 】

Shen Tang was shocked by Lao Qian's words.

I really want to ask Uncle Qian and Nao Nao what's wrong with him? Does he know what the consequences will be if the military order is not fulfilled?

Qian Yong has been in the military for so many years, so of course he knows.

Shen Tang also asked the same question as Zhao Wei.

[Qian Shuhe, is the leader of Zhen Kingdom your biggest enemy? 】

With Qishan's experience of making enemies everywhere, Shen Tang would not be surprised if anyone else in the tent would make enemies. Qian Yong originally wanted to hide it, but Shen Tang wanted to know, so he said: "It's not a big enemy, it's just thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river, and the situation has changed." When I was studying and traveling when I was young, I had some interactions with the leader of Zhen Kingdom. 】

【Still a classmate? 】

Qian Yong had a ferocious expression as he recalled the glorious past.

[Yeah, barely. 】

Even though he talks bad words all day long, he was actually quite rough in the first half of his life. He comes from a bad background, but who doesn’t want to be a master? In his early years, he had great ambitions, but in the face of reality, he gave in to five buckets of rice.

Because without a territory, they can only wander around.

Shamelessly defecting to poor connections.

I once sought help from the Lord of the Kingdom of Zhen, but this classmate did not miss the old friendship at all, nor did he care about the three or two kittens in Qian Yong's tent. Instead, he believed that Qian Yong was a ruffian who came to fight against the autumn wind, and drove Qian Yong out. . Qian Yong then moved around to several houses, and finally settled down on the land of his classmate Zhang He.

[As for me, the last general, I like to avenge private enemies. 】

The corner of Shen Tang's mouth twitched: [Public revenge and private revenge? 】

Qian Yong respectfully requested the battle: [I beg the Lord to agree. 】

In order to avenge his personal revenge reasonably and legally, he dared to compress the seven days into three days, giving his former classmates a little shock!

Shen Tang reluctantly grabbed the national seal and stamped it.

[Can’t you tell, you are so vindictive? 】

Qian Yong said in a faint tone: "You can't kick the bowl of a bereaved dog. If you don't even keep this bowl, don't blame the dog for going crazy and biting the person to death." He smashed my bowl back then, and now I go back and dig up his ancestral grave. This is God's will for every drink and peck! 】

The pain of being under someone else's roof, the shame of being driven away.

Qian Yong could swallow it shamelessly, but he had a bad stomach and couldn't digest it! Now that I have the opportunity to go back without paying back, how frustrating it is!

[Wealth that does not return to its hometown is like traveling at night in brocade clothes. Likewise - if you don't go to your enemies to ask for interest after getting rich, your life will be in vain. 】Others are broad-minded and don’t care about trivial matters with their enemies. That’s because a gentleman is well-educated. Unlike old money, he is a villain!

What does a villain do if he doesn't use his power to bully others?

If the villain doesn't fall into trouble, what will happen?

Qi Shan revealed in a low voice: "The Lord specifically asked Gong Xiqiu to be given to Uncle Qian and Lu Zhen. You also know that when Gong Xiqiu goes out, the mysterious high priest will also accompany him. Yun Yuanmou has always been aloof, and usually only follows The junior fellow apprentice disdains officialdom, and he is not banned from fighting this time. The Lord will probably let him serve as the vanguard!"

Qin Li was silent for a moment: "Just fight against Zhen State?"

Isn't this too much of a face-saving thing for Zhen State?

Although a warrior of Gong Xichou's level cannot determine the outcome of a war, it is relative. Zhen State is a small country with only tens of thousands of regular troops. Even if they recruit soldiers during wartime, the number of soldiers is unlikely to exceed 30,000, and the combat power is even less guaranteed. Gong Xichou can come and go freely regardless of the cost.

As for Yun Ce?

I heard that his cultivation has increased greatly in the past year.

The cultivation speed of warriors is steady and progressive, but Yun Ce is different. His cultivation speed is like ascending on the spot.

Da Yi said more than once that his breath is more terrifying each time.

Because of the rapid progress, the breath is not perfectly restrained.

Occasionally, the martial energy overflows, and people will catch a cold in minutes.

Qi Shan tried to suppress the corners of his mouth that were hooked: "...Ahem, the master is more worried than Qian Shuhe that the military order will not be fulfilled."

In one breath, he stuffed all kinds of strong men to help Qian Yong.

Qin Li: "..."

I thought the master disliked Qian Yong, and Qian Yong was a surrendered warlord in the early days. In order to show the world, he had to give this old guy preferential treatment to win people's hearts and make enough face. Now it seems that the master is also fond of Qian Yong.

In fact, sometimes it is really no wonder that the ministers cross the line.

Qin Li asked: "How many troops?"

Qi Shan made a gesture: "This number."

Qin Li fell silent again: "I ask the last question. You and the master conspired to do this. Are you afraid that Qian Shuhe can't compete with others, so you deliberately find an excuse to ban others?"

Qi Shan: "..."

Very good, very good, Mr. Qin is crazy too.

Why did Qin Gongsu have such an outrageous guess?

He said with difficulty: "It's not so exaggerated."

It's a normal thing. When Qin Li said it, it sounded like a play comparable to "playing with princes with beacon fires". How can Qian Shuhe and that rolling knife meat have such great charm? Even if the master is angry for his blue face one day, it shouldn't be Qian Shuhe's old face.

The master is not a foolish ruler.

Qin Li leaned his elbow on the food table and sighed deeply.

How did he get led astray?

Shen Tang allocated troops to Qian Yong nearby, half of which were elites who participated in the two wars in Beimo and Gaoguo. The fierce army that had seen blood had extraordinary momentum. The gathered morale cloud was faintly red, and it was almost suffocating to oppress people.

"Is the scale of this army not right?"

Li Wan did not go back to report, but stayed to participate in the war.

She had been to Zhenguo as an envoy, so she could lead the way.

Li Wan was also capable, and she could tell that something was wrong just by looking at the daily consumption of the logistics part. According to this consumption, the scale of the army must be at least 30,000. 30,000 troops were mobilized to fight Zhenguo?

Nothing happened today, the driving practice went smoothly, and the actual reverse parking was also standard, no scratches, no rear-end collisions, and no wrong traffic lights, which is a cause for celebration (my two cousins ​​were also urged to take the driver's license test, hey, it's 37 or 38 degrees this time.)
