The four people in the main hall talked and talked. It was almost midnight, and the major matters that should be discussed had been basically discussed; it was time to go to bed and sleep.

Guo Xiaoke, who came to Liyang alone, was temporarily staying in Xu Shiji's mansion and already had a temporary place to sleep. Therefore, Xu Shiji only ordered the housekeeper to arrange a temporary place to sleep in Xu Shiye and Ling Jing in the mansion.

When the Xu family housekeeper led Xu Shiye and Ling Jing to the place where they arranged their sleeping place, Xu Shiye ordered the housekeeper: "Just send me two to one place. I will sleep with Mr. Ling tonight and discuss some matters."

The butler said that Xu Shiye, the younger brother of Xu Shiye, who was the owner of Xu Mansion, naturally obeyed the orders as if he was a sage. When Ling Jing just chuckled and did not object, the butler led Xu Shiye and Ling Jing to a spacious, exquisite permanent guest room in the mansion.

After the housekeeper took the initiative, he lit the candles with great care, served tea, and said 'Good night of the second master and sir'. After leaving, Ling Jing, who had already sat down, took a sip of the tea and asked Xu Shiye with a smile: "Is there still a depression in his heart at this time?"

"Ah...! Yes! Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, and everything is troubled..." Xu Shiye sighed unconsciously with a melancholy expression. Then, Xu Shiye changed his tone and said, "Lixian has been working hard for a day, so let's take a shower and go to bed too! I can't sleep for a while, and then tell Lixian about the many discomforts he has."

Ling Jing, who was free and easy, looked up at Xu Shiye and nodded. The two of them immediately washed the warm water that the servant had prepared in advance, then took off their clothes, went to bed, and turned off the lights...

The two of them were lying on the wide bed without any feeling of crowding. The bright tranquil moon shone into the room through the window lattice, and a quiet, silence and leisurely atmosphere was formed in the shadows. However, Xu Shiye, who had been unable to let go of his heart, could not be integrated into this quiet atmosphere for a while, and he subconsciously turned over...

"The general hasn't fallen asleep yet? But he thought about what Mr. Guo hinted at the dinner?" Ling Jing, who seemed a little confused on the other side of the bed, easily roughly revealed the crux of the depression that Xu Shiye had in his heart.

"This matter is only one of them. It takes us a long struggle and even spend decades of time before it can be highlighted. It is not what we should be in our hearts when we are 'do not work together'. What I am most difficult to let go of is the thing in front of us. Can the wise know that I abandoned Senior Brother Yan, who was originally an old friend of Changping, and insisted on making the army extraordinary and generous General Liu lead his troops to Changping?" Xu Shiye replied softly with a heavy heart.

"The general regards students as confidants and tells them with sincerity, so students should also return them to each other. The general forgives students for speaking out in a presumptuous way! The general's doubts are not just because of General Liu, right? But the superiors include the charming and heroic Miss Dou. This student is quite understandable. However, the student is confused, but why can the general be valued so much? How can he be the opponent of the general who is full of intelligence and young Yingfeng? As Mr. Guo said before: The wisdom of a general is inevitable that he will shudder when he thinks!"

Ling Jing, who was restricted by the concept of the times, was truly the "intelligent" figure of this era. He could tell at a glance and immediately reacted to the most entangled thing in Xu Shiye's heart.

"According to facts, I should not be too arrogant. Therefore, I am not afraid of Dou Jiande. From the people of the same colleagues who rose up to oppose the Sui Dynasty, Dou Jiande is indeed loyal, righteous, generous, generous, generous, and generous, talented and generous, and has great talent and strategy. When interacting with others, he feels like "like bathing in the spring breeze"..." When talking to Dou Jiande in his conversations, Xu Shiye could only summarize some general information in his mind. To be honest, he really knew nothing about Dou Jiande of this era.

"This is not something I am concerned about. If you want to accomplish great things, wouldn't it be lonely without an opponent? However, I am thinking: If you are a brother like me and my brother, you will still think of some discomfort because of the future. If it is General Liu, who is about to face, how difficult is Miss Dou? How should I do it?"

In fact, this is true. It is not that Xu Shiye, who has not discussed with Dou Xianniang, is still unchanged and "can't explain clearly, but still messy".

"Those who do great things, regardless of personal feelings. However, how can those who are selfless be successful? To achieve great things is originally 'self-self'..." The wise Ling Jing said in a turbulent manner, as if he had transplanted the theory of "contradictory unity" in modern philosophy to the ancient times where he was located:

"However, things have priority, and it is not the time when things are approaching, wise people cannot preview the method of cracking. If a person as wise as Zhuge, if he can preview the method of cracking the "lost Jieting" early, how can he take all the risks to set up the "empty city plan" when Sima Yi's troops are at the city?

Therefore, the general does not have to keep this matter too much in mind now. The student once vaguely heard it: Dou is the only woman named Miss Dou? Perhaps, when the general and Dou are facing the battlefield, it is unknown that Dou will benefit the general because of his cherishing love for his only daughter and considering his friendship with General Liu? Haha, haha!"

"I hope it is as the wise say! Haha! The heroic heart is really hard to measure with common sense!" Xu Shiye sighed, who had already "knowingly he would not say a result, but just wanted to vent his anger and let it go, and was full of thoughts that he could only "receive Ling Jing's comfort, but he didn't believe it would become reality." He fell asleep in a hazy and depressed way...

The next morning, just as Chen Shishi arrived, he washed up and had to eat. After eating, Xu Shiji, the general manager of the Hebei Road in Wagang, and Guo Xiaoke, the chief secretary, took Xu Shiye, Ling Jing, Sima Chang'an and others to Liyang's government office. The specific arrangements had basically been agreed and determined last night.

Of course, after more than half a year, Xu Shiye once again met a group of former colleagues in the army, the deputy general manager of Hebei Road, Ruxin (another deputy general manager, Zhai Hongqian, went to escort grain and grass for Wagang City, but the supplies had not returned), Zhang Liang, the head of Longxiang Camp, Wang Kai, the head of Baoteng Camp, Hu Qiyun, the head of Xiong Yue Camp, Liu Mingqi, the head of Langfeng Camp, and Li Hu, who replaced the reorganized head of Huyi Camp because of Xu Shiye's appointment as the head of Ji County.

Now, the total number of troops garrisons in Wagang, Liyang has increased from 10,000 to more than 30,000, which is because Xu Shiji, like Xu Shiye, adopted the method of "recruiting troops with the best". Otherwise, because Li Yangcang, the most convenient fund for raising troops, it would not be difficult to recruit Li Yang's total troops to 100,000.

The reason why Xu Shiji and Xu Shiye, who were both different and ended up with the same fate, should be different: Xu Shiye was only able to do what he could do because of his restraint in money. Xu Shiji was taboo to attract suspicion of the general village of "expanding the army without authorization and raising troops to be respectful."

Even so, the number of soldiers directly under the command of the fifth battalion under the command of Xu Shiji, the chief general of the Hebei Road of Wagang, has doubled compared with half a year ago, reaching about 6,000. In addition, there are about 2,000 Xu Shiji's direct subordinates, and the Wagang garrison in Liyang has actually exceeded 30,000. Adding to the more than 20,000 units owned by Xu Shiye, the two brothers of the Xu family now have nearly 60,000 elite soldiers in their hands.
