In Yang Lie's study, Chu Nan squatted on a chair, munching on all kinds of unnamed fruits, but was not timid at all when faced with the murderous old fox.

Yang Lie had his hands on his hands like an old farmer, and his thin body was very out of place on the large mahogany chair. After looking at Chu Nan for a long time, Yang Lie grinned, showing a mouth full of rotten teeth, and said: "Boy, I've been with Mei'er recently.

How's it going?"

Chu Nan is more than nineteen years old this year, but for some reason, her teeth have started to grow again recently, and the pain is severe. She said vaguely: "Well, I told you a long time ago, your granddaughter doesn't like me. A toad matches a swan. Originally, a toad matched a swan.

It doesn’t match.”

Yang Lie waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Who said that? I think you two are fine."

Chu Nan grinned and snorted a few times, but still didn't say anything.

The old fox from the Yang family frowned and said: "Others don't know what you did when you were away for three years, but you can't hide it from me. But after you have been back for more than a year, you can't do anything famous except visiting brothels and drinking wine.

, at least let me have an explanation to the entire Yang family."

Chu Nan was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He jumped up and screamed: "You old man, why are you investigating me? I told you back then that I was just a loser who was just waiting to die, but you just didn't listen.

I left such a good grandson-in-law like Li Ling alone, and now you blame me for not living up to expectations!"

Yang Lie also raised his eyes and said in a rough voice: "You bastard, I don't dare to yell at me like that! Do you think I don't know that the Li family doll is a good young talent? Shit! The royal family is in troubled waters.

Isn’t it such an easy trip? I don’t want to make fun of the lives of hundreds of members of the Yang family. Isn’t the example of the Shen family that was at the height of their power enough?”

Chu Nan curled his lips and muttered: "Don't worry about me, I'm messing up the seniority."

Yang Lie looked at Chu Nan who refused to eat, and sighed in frustration: "The Li family's doll really made a big splash in Mobei. Last year, there was heavy snow on the grassland, and several livestock froze to death, but the doll was so heavy that they didn't dare to do what they did in previous years."

The past month was even more remarkable. Three major battles brought the battle line to the border of the Hu people. The last time we counterattacked into the grasslands was during the time of the late emperor." He patted his knees as he spoke, seeming to recall the scenes of the battlefield.

, and then sighed: "The more outstanding the Li family's children are, the more upset I am. Everyone in the Yang family, including Mei'er, dare not say anything, and who doesn't call me an old fool in his heart?"

When Chu Nan saw someone praising Li Ling again, he couldn't help but feel a little sour, and said disdainfully: "Li Ling, what kind of credit does that count? No matter how many people he kills, except for the water he added, the cannon fodder of the barbarians and the unintentional killing of Daliang border residents will really be eaten.

Who are the main force of the Hu people? Since the alliance of hundreds of Hu people, the barbarians in the mouth of Daliang have also improved a lot. Now that so many years have passed, it would be too much to regard them as just barbarians who kill people and set fire. As for this time

Daliang sent his troops northward and broke into the grassland. In addition to the credit of the soldiers, it was probably also because of the deliberate release of water by the Hu people."

Yang Lie looked at the jealous Chu Nan, but he didn't point it out and said, "Oh, there is such a thing? What's the reason?"

Chu Nan was stared at by the old fox's deep eyes, and thought to himself: "Well, I'm just imagining it. But I have seen the Hu people's golden wolf king Tulwin before, and he is far from being cunning. I really have a reason, I can

Two things come to mind. The first one is obviously to bring the battlefield to the grassland and let the Liang soldiers walk out of the city where the city is high and well-fed. Hehe, when they reach the grassland, it is the home court of the Hu people and the most important place for the Hu people.

Familiar environment. Secondly, it’s the trick of that old ghost in Tulwin. It’s very simple to use Daliang’s soldiers to eliminate the differences between the various ethnic groups, consolidate power and eliminate dissidents... Well, old ghost,

Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?"

Yang Lie stroked his gray beard and sighed: "I originally thought you were just prospering in the Western Regions, but I didn't know that you were also related to the Hu people's Golden Wolf King. Tsk, I saw it right.

, Mei'er is so lucky!"

Only then did Chu Nan realize that he had let something slip, and immediately curled his lips and said: "What is Mobei? I have also been to Fusang Mountain in Yingzhou in the East China Sea and Miao Border in the southwest."

Yang Lie twitched his lips, but he didn't believe it in his heart. He changed the topic and said: "Well, after talking about Li Ling, let's talk about your eldest brother Chu Kuang. If Li Ling is attacked by soldiers and cannot be defeated, then Chu Kuang is here

The northwest is much inferior. Although there are no mistakes, there have been few achievements over the years. I heard that someone in the court reported that Chu Kuang was not capable enough and wanted to recall him.

Although Chu Nan knew that the old ghost probably wanted to test himself, so he spoke so superficially, but since he mentioned Li Ling and Chu Kuang, who had been close to him since childhood, he didn't bother to worry about anything, and said coldly: "Say

Most of the people who said this were those poor scholars. Huh, scholars have harmed the country. If they listen to their leaders in everything, they will have no future. The country will be destroyed not far away. The northwest is bitterly cold and the climate is complex and changeable. If you attack rashly, you are probably seeking death.

Moreover, although the northwest is full of races and city-states, large and small, due to the existence of snow-capped mountain temples, if a war breaks out, even with the troops of several small countries, those religious fanatics can attack twice as many as the same number.

The strength of the Hu people. Over the years, Chu Kuang has closed the city and cannot come out, but he has secretly tried to win over and divide the northwest states through marriage and mutual trade. Just looking at the number of envoys who came to pay tribute last year can tell that the results have been good. Li Ling did a lot.

Okay, but the situation we face is different. Simply comparing the number of enemies killed to rank the superior and inferior is probably something only those pedantic and stubborn idiots can do."

Yang Lie automatically filtered out Chu Nan's disrespectful remarks, stroked his beard with satisfaction and said, "Oh, if you ask me, who is stronger, Chu Kuang and Li Ling?"

Chu Nan tapped his fingers anxiously on the table and frowned: "Since the two of them are called the two great generals of the younger generation of Daliang, they naturally have their own merits. But if we really want to tell the difference, I am still optimistic about Chu Kuang. Old Ghost

Don't laugh, I'm not talking nonsense. I grew up with the two of them since I was a child, and I understand them naturally. Li Ling looks elegant and modest, but in his bones he is too proud. To put it bluntly, he is arrogant because of his talent. And he has been since birth.

It has always been smooth sailing without any setbacks. This is definitely not a good thing. Let's just say... well, let's just say that last year when Yang Mei got married, Li Ling regarded military orders as child's play and attacked rashly. Although he came back with a great victory, he could see that he

He has a sensitive and emotional personality. If you ask me, it would be best to transfer Li Ling to the south while there are not many wars in Mobei. The situation there is far more complicated than that in Mobei. It will not only test the ability to lead the army in fighting, but also the means to govern the country and stabilize the people.

If he works hard, he will definitely achieve great things. Otherwise, if he is defeated in Mobei and the capital transfers him back, this person will probably be ruined. In a word, Li Ling is a great talent, but he is too proud."

Chu Nan was so excited that he walked to the table and took a few sips from the water bottle. He breathed out comfortably and continued: "As for Chu Kuang, he has been an iceberg man who has not melted for thousands of years since he was a child or under the shadow of Li Ling.

.Although when he first joined the army, he killed many people in the northwest and earned the title of Chu Kuang General, he could not help but give people the impression that he was brave but not resourceful. The year before last, Chu Kuang was promoted to three levels in a row and was ordered to take charge of major military and political affairs in Yongzhou.

I was shocked at the time, but now I think about the person in the palace who is really courageous. Next, Chu Kuang took the time to sort out the political affairs of Yongzhou and turned a dilapidated border town into a prosperous place in the northwest. This year

I even heard that the northwest garrison will be barely self-sufficient in food and grass. Based on this alone, the credit for killing 100,000 enemies is scum. In other words, Chu Kuang, a calm madman and a handsome man."

Yang Lie laughed out loud, but the more he looked at Chu Nan, the more satisfied he became. However, Chu Nan was horrified by Yang Lie's meaningful gaze. He held the kettle in his hand, squatted on the chair again, and drank every sip.

With.

Yang Lie withdrew his gaze and sighed: "The founding of Daliang was short-lived, but it was able to suppress the barbarians and the countries in the Western Regions precisely because of the continuous emergence of capable ministers. But after all, the foundation is not enough, and powerful enemies are everywhere.

, I have been fighting for decades, but now I can only maintain an undefeated situation. I don’t know if I can still see the situation of killing all directions during the time of the late emperor."

Chu Nan took a sip of water. Unexpectedly, he drank a mouthful of tea. He spat out a few mouthfuls and swallowed the tea. Although it was high-quality tea, the taste was not very good. He wiped the tea from the corners of his mouth with his fingers.

Cha Zha said, "Isn't that right? Now even Yingzhou in the East China Sea is ready to make a move. Last night I had a fight with a person from the Fuso Sword Sect. I don't know what kind of trouble they are planning to make. It's really a group of people who don't remember.

Something to drink. Uh, let me finish the tea. If you want to drink, let me get another pot."

Outside the door, Ding Yangan, the hometown man who had served Yang Lie all his life, agreed and wandered off to get tea.

Yang Lie snorted coldly: "If we didn't want to destroy such a prosperous place, the army would have defeated Yingzhou decades ago. How could there be room for those clowns to show their faces? I also heard people say that the Yingzhou faction

Someone came and asked Your Majesty to withdraw the army stationed in the East China Sea. He said that it had hindered Yingzhou's trade and scared away many overseas merchants. He even said secretly that Yingzhou's own strength was enough to protect itself and there was no need for a large army to protect it.

.Hmph, if you keep going on like this, your Majesty's patience will be exhausted sooner or later. By then, I wonder if they can still be arrogant?"

When Daliang was founded, the army marched south and north and conquered vast territories, but in the final analysis, marching and fighting were all about money and food. In order to raise military expenses, the emperor at that time was forced to issue an order never to send troops to attack Yingzhou, which is located in the East China Sea.

It was the largest port in the country and there was countless wealth in the city, so Yingzhou provided a large amount of money and food as protection fees. As a result, Yingzhou was in the position of Daliang, and it was basically a country within a country. It was Yang Lie who conquered such a huge country but did not conquer Yingzhou.

A thorn in my heart, otherwise I wouldn’t be clamoring to leave Yingzhou all the time.

Chu Nan quickly calmed down the excited war maniac and said: "You are already so old. Just leave the fighting and killing matters to the younger generations. You have nothing to do, play chess, play around with your grandchildren, and so on.

That’s what you should be thinking about.”

Yang Lie looked at Chu Nan with a strange expression on his face, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Well, I also thought about teasing Sun, but you are not living up to expectations. There has been no movement for so long.

"

Chu Nan called Qu and said: "You want to give birth to a child for me? It's not that I don't want to, but... uh..."

Chu Nan noticed that Yang Lie was looking behind him with strange eyes. When he turned around, he saw Yang Mei standing pretty at the door, holding tea in his hand, with a strange expression on his face, but he was looking at him blankly, looking at a loss.
