Seeing Xu Huai's pose as if he was ruthless, Shi Zhenqing knew that he had to go to the pirate ship today and could not avoid it. He picked up the teacup with a slightly bitter face, lifted the lid of the teacup and drank it a little. He calmed down his mood, but saw that there were no fine pieces of teafruit in the clear tea water, and a few green buds and leaves were floating and rising in the water.

Shi Zhen was slightly stunned, feeling strange, but the fragrance of Qingyan tea came to his nose, unlike he didn't know how to cook tea. He took a sip of sweet and moist tea, and said slowly:

"Xiaozong was appointed as the general of Zhangtiange in the reign of Emperor Xiaozong, and the political magistrate was ordered to compile the "Wujing Zongyao" to teach the affairs of Chinese military generals and officers in the court. My grandfather was an official in the Ministry of War at that time and was fortunate to participate in the matter. When Shi Zhen was young, he failed to study and was unable to leap to Longmen. When he returned to Bianjing, he still asked his father and grandfather to protect him and live in the Ministry of War as an official. Because of his father and grandfather, he had the opportunity to participate in the subsequent editing of "Wujing Zongyao". Shi Zhen had a little knowledge of military affairs, but it was just a superficial one..."

Only then did Xu Huai's eyes truly shine.

Although he guessed that Shi Zhen wanted to escape at this time, he must have seen through the crisis in front of him, he was also very confused. As a minor official of the Ministry of War, Shi Zhen had such a vision as a burying his desk for half his life?

For a long time, Wang Bing and him also had some differences, that is, although Wang Bing was extremely vigilant about the Chihu people and among the many ruling ministers, he could even be said to be the most sober, but his vigilance was still not enough.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Wang Fan to recommend Cao Shixiong to take charge of the military and political affairs of Lanzhou. However, they did not know Xu Huai because they were concerned about Wang Fan's feelings, and finally everyone had a bad time.

Even a person like Wang Bing cannot escape such limitations. Why can Shi Zhen have such a clear consciousness?

Xu Huai didn't expect that Shi Zhen was the actual editor of General Wu Jing from his grandfather's generation, so all this was reasonable.

The court's laws did not have a complete set of legal documents, but were composed of countless imperial edicts issued since the founding of the dynasty, forming an extremely complex, even inconsistent and conflicting legal system.

Even if the newly appointed officials have accumulated over several years, it is almost impossible to understand the complex relationships here. Therefore, their handling of various affairs cannot be separated from the assistance of their subordinates who have studied this system for half a lifetime or even for the rest of their lives.

Because of this knowledge monopoly, it is easy to form a monopoly of a certain official position through father and son.

Shi Zhen went from his grandfather to his father to him; before his grandfather, the Shi family even had several generations of ancestors serving as officials in the Ministry of War and the previous dynasty's Ministry of War, which was very common.

There has been a tradition of appointing scholars to compile the classics throughout the dynasties, but the collection and verification of a large amount of data is actually done by specific officials.

This will easily form a profound family tradition.

The original intention of Dayue to compile the "Military Jing Zongyao" was to hope that both civil and military generals and officials could learn systematically and master military knowledge. However, under the restrictions of the ancestral law of using literature to control military affairs and governing military affairs, "Military Jing Zongyao" became a basis for scholars to talk about military affairs on paper, but the generals of the generals of the military army who truly had the experience of leading military operations were difficult to participate in the discussion of military decision-making. This made the learning and mastery of military knowledge by civil and military generals of Dayue to be superficial. In comparison, Shi Zhen and his father and grandfather were the actual compilers of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the General Manager of the

After Xu Huai sat back on the desk, he stared at Shi Zhen and said, "Mr. Shi said he knew the basics about military affairs, but I wanted to hear the so-called basics. How did Mr. Shi feel the danger of being in Yingzhou? Especially Liu Shizhong, Cai Yuanyou talked about borrowing troops today, how did he know the basics? He immediately felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and couldn't wait to escape?"

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Shi Zhen could only give up, and changed his previous cautious and obscene manners, drinking tea and saying:

"Cai Yuanyou and others thought that the Chihu people were barbarians, and they were difficult to control thousands of miles of Liaodong. They could not have territorial greed for the south. They feared the union of enemies and trapped beasts and fought, so they had the idea of ​​borrowing troops. This is also in line with the joint forces and attacking Yan. Wang Bing's grandfather strongly opposed it, but it was also difficult to support the lonely trees in the court. Chihu people sent envoys to Bianjing to secretly discuss the joint forces and were responsible for recruiting clerks. I am also familiar with it. They will talk about some of the trends of Chihu in their spare time.

The local people. When the secret envoys of our dynasty returned several times, they would have recorded the case on the imperial case. When the final archive was filed, we, the minor officials of the court, also had the opportunity to see their appearance. In fact, after the Chihu people established the country and formally imitated the Khitan palace tent system and formed many tribes with complex control systems in the Qiexue Guards, it was inevitable that they could no longer be regarded as ordinary barbarians. Unfortunately, the civil and military officials in the dynasty could see this. Only the king and the prime minister were the humble officials. It was even less important to mention."

Xu Huai pondered without saying a word, but he knew in his heart that even before Wang Bing walked into Tongbai Mountain, he had no systematic understanding of the Chihu people.

Wang Bing's opposition to the coalition forces to attack Yan was basically a simple thinking of losing his lips and a clear understanding of the internal troubles of the Great Yue Dynasty.

Even Xu Huai himself has only completed his understanding of the Chihu people bit by bit in the past two years.

Xu Huai did not expect that there were people in Bianjing who had conducted comprehensive and in-depth research on the Chihu people. Unfortunately, Shi Zhen failed to be admitted to the imperial examination and had to recommend him as a ninth-rank minor official in the Ministry of War for half his life. This was not only his personal efforts, but also the only one who was outstanding, but it was likely that he would also benefit from his father and grandfather.

This determined that even if Shi Zhen personally had a clear understanding of the Chihu people, he could not make a very weak voice.

"Chi Hu followed the Khitan palace tent system, but the Khitan did not pose a threat to the Central Plains in the past. On the contrary, for more than a hundred years, both sides were able to live in peace, far less fierce than the war in the northwest..." Wang Ju couldn't help but look forward and asked.

Although Wang Ju has not yet had the opportunity to become a famous general of a generation, his knowledge of various special causes and conditions is far beyond that of ordinary Western Army generals.

"Our dynasty Gaozu set up the Central Plains. The elite soldiers and generals swept across the rivers and Huai Rivers and Huai Rivers, all over the country, and never encountered any enemy. However, at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, they were greatly damaged by the Khitans several times. How could it be said that the Khitan palace tent was not strong?" Shi Zhen asked back, "For more than a hundred years of stalemate with the Khitan, this does not mean that the palace tent is not strong. But when the Khitans rose, the Central Plains martial arts were at its peak. At that time, the ancestors' methods we practiced were not exhausted, and the two sides could not stand stalemate. Or, the Khitan had a slight advantage, but seeing that there was no hope of annexing the Central Plains, both sides finally had no temper. At this time, Chihu, in addition to imitating the palace tent system, also formed the Qixue Guard Army..."

"Qixue Suwei Army? The Chihu people conquered Khitan, and several powerful troops were famous all over the world, but this Qixue Suwei Army did not seem to be famous?" Lu Xiong asked in confusion.

"The Qiexue Guard Army has no mystery, so it has divided the nobles and meritorious officials into the princely guards. The Central Plains dynasties have also had the tradition of recruiting meritorious officials in court guards, which is not a creation. Shi Zhen has no way to know whether this army is strong or not, but this further solves the many disadvantages of the chaos within the northwest, the difficulty of unifying the orders and the mutual struggle, so that it has the ambition and impulse to expand outward!" Shi Zhen said.

Xu Huai sighed: "Mr. Shi did not know the basics at all. In fact, by this time, there were hundreds of millions of people in the Dayue dynasty. Mr. Shi was the first person Xu Huai met to fundamentally realize that the Chihu people had completed their transformation from tribal alliances to grassland empires!"

"Tribal alliance, grassland empire?" Shi Zhen chewed the two words Xu Huai said and nodded in praise, "The military marquis said more accurately, not as long-lasting as Shi Zhen said - for thousands of years, any northern barbarians could complete this transformation, which would be a great terror and a great threat. If the Central Plains Martial Arts were at its peak, they could be safe, but the Central Plains Martial Arts were dark and weak, it would be a huge disaster!"

"What do you think Mr. Shi's words?" Xu Huai asked Lu Xiong, Xu Wuli, Wang Ju, Fan Yong, Zheng Tu and others.

When Shi Zhen was dragged into the living room by Xu Huai, Lu Xiong, Xu Wuji, Wang Ju, and Fan Yong thought that there must be something unusual about Xu Huai. In addition, he and Zhu Zhi were the only two representatives of the Ministry of War in Yingzhou, and he could not escape easily. But he really didn't expect that in front of Shi Zhen, Cai Yuanyou and others were really nothing.

Just by this, Shi Zhen is also a person they can't see. Perhaps only Xu Huai can sit down and talk to him.

Xu Huai looked at Shi Zhen and said, "Sir, since you see through all this, you will know more clearly that you can escape from Yingzhou at this time, and you will not be able to avoid the danger of military advances."

Shi Zhen said ashamedly: "Although Shi Zhen has some slight insights, he really doesn't know who can turn the tide. He just wants to take one step at a time! Alas, if there is no disaster of forgery, the situation may be better!"

Xu Wuji, Lu Xiong and others regretted the disaster of forgery of edicts, and thought that there would be no such disaster, and the situation in the Southern Dynasty would inevitably change drastically. However, when Xu Huai saw that Shi Zhen said that there was no such disaster of edicts, it was only a little better, so he knew that his understanding of the world was far beyond the reach of those of the times.

Xu Huai no longer concealed his next plan and said:
Chapter completed!
