It is almost in Zhou Shide's pocket. This Vatican-destroying army combined with the Forbidden Army and the Xiang Army, as long as the arrangements are properly made, if a Vatican-destroying battle is won, it may not be Zhou Shide's, but also Zhou Shide's.

With military power in hand, everything else is easy to negotiate.

"Then, let me meet this man first. You can praise him endlessly and worship the unparalleled military god of the Southern Zhou Dynasty." You Hongyin, who had been upset by those disgusting things before, suddenly calmed down and became more interested. increase.

"You won't be disappointed." Yan Xingyun woke up and happened to hear this sentence to himself, and said very firmly.

"I hope so."

Zhou Shide was probably a few years younger than Xiahou Lie, and they were also in their forties, almost fifty, but their faces seemed much younger than Xiahou Lie's. Although he has been fighting all year round, he has been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, and he has taken good care of himself since he was a child. Zhou Shide looks weathered but does not look old. He does not have the burly and rude appearance of ordinary warriors. Instead, he looks like a civil servant, with a graceful demeanor and a white face without beard. What is striking is his pair of eyes, which are unique to the royal family of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but there is no trace of weakness and chaos, only the sharpness that will never be bent and the wisdom that has been weathered.

You Hongyin raised his brows and secretly admired him. He had not seen such an outstanding person for a long time: "Well, he will probably be more willing to work this time. I just hope that besides his outstanding ability, he will not be too... Big character flaw.”

You Hongyin is planning to support an emperor to ascend to the throne again, although the lord he chooses is a bit old, and even though he is not an advisor.

Now the emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty has dismounted to protect Zhou Shide's life and help him guard the precarious Southern Zhou Dynasty. When several conditions are added up, there are not many options left for You Hongyin to choose. Assisting Zhou Shide to ascend the throne is the best choose.

What? Zhou Shide had no ambitions, was dedicated to the country, and was loyal? Don't worry, even if you don't have ambition, You Hongyin will train him. What's more, only Zhou Shide himself knows best in this world whether there is or not, and what others say does not count.

Zhou Shide took over the general affairs as soon as he arrived, and re-assigned clear responsibilities to the lower-level generals and military attaches. At the same time, he took away the power of some civilian military attaches who were just trying to get credit and had no ability, and promoted many truly capable ones. Come up.

Faced with this large-scale transfer, Eunuch Wu, the supervisor of the army, did not dare to say a word. This Eunuch Wu was a famous person around the emperor, and he was also a servant of the royal family. He learned the unique martial arts passed down from generation to generation in the inner palace, so he had the ability and courage to go to the battlefield and serve as a supervisor. He did not interact with Zhou Shide once or twice. In fact, when Zhou Shide was a child, Eunuch Wu, who was still an ordinary eunuch, served him for a short period of time. Of course, he is not on Zhou Shide's side. He just understands that Zhou Shide is a relatively easy-to-talk nobleman on weekdays, but when he is dealing with military affairs, he is a selfless King of Yama who does not talk about any personal feelings and will not relax his demands. , sometimes if you fall out, you can be chopped down.

The supervisors sent by the emperor all knew about these things, and they all had a tacit understanding and never said a word to outsiders. They are all good to you and me. Hello everyone, I will not interfere with your military operations, and don’t make it difficult for me to do this. manner.

After listening to the report of the little eunuch next to him, Eunuch Wu hammered his own leg: "I'm getting older, Xiaowu, give me a hammer."

The little eunuch was anxious: "Father-in-law, don't you go and take a look?"

Eunuch Wu nodded his head: "Today I will teach you to be a good boy. If you want to live longer in this world, you must learn not to hear things you shouldn't hear and not see things you shouldn't see. Do you understand?"

Seeing the young eunuch looking thoughtful and confused, Eunuch Wu picked up a cup of tea and said, "Just cherish your blessings. When we fought against Da Qi, where did the carriages come from on the battlefield, let alone the tea leaves?" Hot water.”

He put down the tea cup and murmured: "I hope that this time Prince Duan can successfully take over half of the territory of Xifan. Only then, a person like me who lives in the inner court, can enjoy a peaceful old age."

After Zhou Shide's military affairs meeting ended, he signaled to his subordinates to disperse and go back to rest, but he called out to You Hongyin: "Xingyun, please stay."

Amid everyone's strange gazes, You Hongyin stood with a calm expression, his aura not inferior to Zhou Shide's.

After everyone else had left, Zhou Shide motioned to You Hongyin to follow him to the side tent of the main tent. After everyone sat down, he poured a cup of tea himself and said, "Although this is the first time we have met, I have already known the name of Xingyun." Like thunder piercing the ears.”

You Hongyin took the tea calmly and said with a smile: "The prince is so impressed. The prince is able to take everything into account in such a short period of time, which is truly worthy of Feihong's admiration."

"The flooding of Yingcheng and the surprise attack on Feiyuan Pass. These two battles originally took a lot of time and troops to completely capture, but they have become history in the pile of old papers while you are talking and laughing. You, have enough capital and pride, He must be a famous general in history." Zhou Shide smiled and seemed to appreciate You Hongyin very much.

You Hongyin put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "Your Majesty pretends to be happy, but in fact he is angry. Why?"

"What I don't understand is why you want to harm Lun'er! Why, the battlefield is not enough for you to display your talents. Do you want to use your talents on the royal family?!" Zhou Shide slammed the table, an angry look on his face, and said in a dangerous voice: "Do you know that this alone is enough for me to kill you on the spot right now."

"Why does the prince value Prince Zhou so much?" You Hongyin did not defend himself, but was a little surprised and puzzled. He tried to guess: "Because the prince has no descendants? The royal bloodline has withered? No, that's not the reason. What's the reason? I'm sorry. It’s hard for me to guess, so please clarify my doubts.”

"Why don't you just defend what you did?" Zhou Shide said.

"There is nothing to defend," You Hongyin played with the teacup on the table, "I am capable of completing the entire plan on my own, but I chose to go through Mr. Li Rui. The purpose is self-evident, naturally. Let the prince know."

The anger on Zhou Shide's face gradually dissipated: "You are plotting."

You Hongyin smiled: "Yes."

"So, you chose me? Helped the survivors of Yingcheng to kill Lun'er, just so that I could lead this war." Zhou Shide seemed to finally connect everything together: "From the time you proposed flooding Yingcheng, you It's time to make arrangements." Zhou Shide narrowed his eyes: "You don't act like a military commander."

"Some people are born to think more about things, and always think a few more steps than others. Unfortunately, I am that kind of person. Mr. Li has also seen my leadership ability and praised it full of praise. I must also be able to lead the army. Not bad, so how can he not be a military commander? A military commander is not allowed to have more thoughts." You Hongyin said.

Zhou Shide sighed: "Although Lun'er is dull by nature, he is one of the few temperamental people in the royal family."

You Hongyin raised his eyebrows and said, "So, smart people like this kind of thing. Since the prince has no heirs, he naturally prefers him."

"What is your purpose in bringing me to this battlefield in such a roundabout way?" Zhou Shide still couldn't figure it out: "If there is a talented person like you who is both civil and military to assist the second brother, the second brother can also do a good job. "

You Hongyin said calmly: "Because, now the Southern Zhou Dynasty is in danger, and even if you do well, it will not be able to relieve the Southern Zhou Dynasty from the crisis of national subjugation."

"How do you say this?"

"Even if my means are sufficient, I will try my best to compete with Daqi for benefits in this battle to destroy Brahma, and use it to enhance the strength of Southern Zhou Dynasty, but it is still not enough. The reason why the prince does not have a great sense of crisis is because you must have calculated it. As long as this war takes place in the Southern Zhou Dynasty It would not be a loss if they did not suffer a major defeat and captured a small part of the territory, because the Southern Zhou Dynasty and Daqi "divided the river and ruled". With the natural danger of the Yangtze River, the Southern Zhou Dynasty could have a small corner of peace, but you didn't see it. The situation of 'dividing the river and governing' is the biggest Crisis." You Hongyin spread out the map: "It is true that the Yangtze River is a natural barrier between the two countries, but once Xifan is divided, Wei will be sandwiched between Daqi and Di. With Daqi's character, the next step is After the destruction of Wei, Di and Wei have been hostile for generations. I'm afraid that if they want to help, the Wei Kingdom will be destroyed. After the Western Fan Wei Kingdom is connected," You Hongyin drew a rough area on the map, pointed to a route and said, "The Daqi cavalry can bypass the Yangtze River. Natural danger, direct attack on Bianliang."

Zhou Shide was covered in cold sweat!

No one has ever thought of this.

"Even if Daqi doesn't find this method for a while, they will eventually find it. At that time, how many troops does Southern Zhou have that can fight Daqi head-on?" You Hongyin said.

"Now, what should we do? Strengthen the checkpoint layout on that route?" Zhou Shide asked.

"Small tricks will indeed make the battle more convenient and can reverse the situation of the battle, but they cannot change the general trend." You Hongyin said: "No matter how many and strong the levels are, just like the Flying Ape Pass, they will be broken one day. If Southern Zhou cannot show enough strength, it will eventually be annexed by Da Qi. "

Seeing that Zhou Shide was restrained, You Hongyin began to release the bait: "My lord, do you want the country to be destroyed and the family to be destroyed? Look at the group of silverfish in Bianliang now. The precarious Southern Zhou Dynasty can no longer bear them. It’s a toss-up.”◎思◎Rabbit◎网◎

After a long time, Zhou Shide realized what he was doing and said with a wry smile: "So Feihong, you are also here to persuade me."

"It seems that I am not the only one in the world who has such a vision. Yes, I do hope that the prince can take his place and completely solve the current internal and external troubles in Southern Zhou Dynasty." You Hongyin said.

Zhou Shide was silent for a long time, and then Fang said, "Let me think about it."

You Hongyin raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Zhou Shide had been persuaded more than once or twice about this aspect and had already been shaken. He saved his own words: "Don't worry, my lord has a long time to think about it. Now let's go The immediate problem is solved.”

"In your opinion, what should we do?"

"Swallowing Xifan is nothing. For us, the best result is that Xiahou Lie's 400,000-strong army will never return." You Hongyin said.

Zhou Shide was inevitably a little suspicious. Xia Houlie was not a fool. Could it be that 400,000 people were just standing there for you to chop down? So he motioned to You Hongyin to continue.

"Join forces with Xi Fan." You Hongyin said, "Xi Fan will eventually agree in order to prevent the country from subjugation."

"After devouring these 400,000 people, I'm afraid that we will be left in Shu by Xi Fan." Zhou Shide was a little moved. He and Xiahou Lie were old rivals. Not to mention the 400,000 troops, even if he only killed Xiahou Lie, it would be too much. Earned.

"Of course, we can't let Xi Fan go, otherwise we will lose half of our troops this time." You Hongyin said: "I think another reason why the prince replaced Xi Fan and Da Qi is that he wants to destroy Xi Fan and Da Qi. We don't have enough troops for the 400,000 troops." He calculated: "So we need to deploy at least 300,000 more troops for border defense."

Now there is a general sent by the emperor at the border. If he is transferred without an imperial decree, it will surely alarm everyone. Then he will not be able to escape the charge of treason. The people of Bianliang are worried that they have no chance to bring Zhou Shide down.

Zhou Shide was upset after hearing the plan.

He was excited because he knew that if this plan succeeded, he would not only be the emperor of Southern Zhou, but even have the opportunity to become the master of the world. He hesitated. As a member of the royal family, he had been loyal to the country for decades. He was almost old and his integrity was gone. Did he still have the ability and time to do the follow-up things? He felt guilty. Once the coup started, blood would flow like a river. Was it really worth sacrificing so many people for a position?

"Your Highness, don't worry, you still have a lot of time to think about it." You Hongyin comforted him softly: "But, please think about the Ruizi Army that has followed you through life and death for many years, think about the comrades who have assisted you diligently for many years, and think about the countless people in the world who live in troubled times and keep fighting. It's time to end this chaotic world."

You Hongyin didn't want to push people too hard, so he left room for Zhou Shide to think.

Yan Xingyun, who woke up early and waited to see Zhou Shide, said in a complicated tone: "You are very strong."

You Hongyin said: "Hearing your praise, my mood is a little complicated."

"I heard that Wuchang said that I was resentful.
