Pei didn't let him hear the words and nodded secretly.

Although he claims to have unparalleled military force, he would probably not dare to bring only a few elite troops to capture the capital of a country.

This is the charm of Huo Kuanglan!

His martial arts may not be as good as Pei Burang, but on the battlefield, ten Pei Burang are not as good as one Huo Kuanglan.

Such a person is indeed a gambler.

However, what he bets on is not sieve pai gow, but war!

If you win, you will be famous forever; if you lose, you will be ruined.

"There is also King Zhenbei. As far as I know, this man was extremely weak when he was young."

"But thirty years ago, when Daqian's life was in danger, why didn't he still step forward, join the army, and fight to make a bright future?"

"Hide your identity as a prince and join the army as an ordinary sergeant, facing the risk of death at any time."

"Isn't this kind of behavior a huge gamble?"

"Our Majesty has surpassed these two people, achieved incredible feats, and become a person like Taizu and Emperor Gao. If you want to achieve such a goal, except for a big gamble, there is nothing you can do."

After Gu Beichuan finished speaking, the pavilion fell into a brief silence.

Pei Burang was shocked. Although he didn't quite understand what he heard, he didn't realize how serious it was!

In short, Gu Beichuan gave him a sense of clarity. What he said should be mostly correct, right?

Mr. Xiang pondered for a while, nodded, and said with shining eyes: "It does have some insights."

"In your opinion, are there any shortcomings in the imperial court's current Northern Expedition?"

"Of course there is."

"Tell me and listen."

Gu Beichuan pondered for a long time and slowly uttered three words: "Northern barbarians!"

Pei refused to hear the words, but he couldn't figure it out.

The Northern Barbarians here have nothing to do with Northern Yan.

They are barbarians who have lived at the foot of the Yayu Mountains for generations, located in the northernmost part of Daqian.

In recent years, the Holy Emperor has given countless favors to the Northern Barbarians, and their leaders have also agreed to surrender.

How could such a northern barbarian tribe become an obstacle to the Northern Expedition?

However, Mr. Xiang had a deep look in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Tell me what you think."

"If the idea is right, I can personally report it to the Holy One and ask for a reward for you."

"I can't say exactly what I want to say, but I do have a few opinions."

"The imperial court is bound to make an expedition to the north, so the northern barbarians living at the southern end of the Yayu Mountains are an obstacle that must be solved!"

"Either kill them all and exterminate their race, or make them bow their heads and take them back as their own."

"Otherwise, it lies in the middle of the Northern Expedition. Once trouble occurs, there will be endless troubles."

"I'm afraid that all the plans His Majesty has been planning for many years will come to naught."

Pei Burang heard the words, and his eyes that were still a little confused gradually brightened, revealing a look of sudden enlightenment.

I see!

No wonder the Holy One has continuously given various rewards to the Northern Barbarians over the years, and even issued many decrees specifically for them.

Just to completely conquer the Northern Barbarians and make the Northern Expedition smoother!

Thinking of this, Pei Burang felt quite ashamed.

I stayed in the military camp and Qiandu all day long, but I didn't know the secret.

This boy from the Gu family has never even left Huainan, yet he can guess so much information on his own.

Really...

Forget it, forget it, I don't rely on my brains for my livelihood, just use my fists.

"It's a pity that these barbarians are so ambitious that they are like wolves that can't be fed enough. Your Majesty's many favors have not only failed to influence them, but have only made them more aggressive. Over the years, the north has been in turmoil. If it weren't for the suppression of King Zhenbei, the northern barbarians would I have rebelled long ago." Mr. Xiang's words contained a hint of hatred.

"If they are not from my race, their minds must be different! Don't worry, sir, as soon as my large army of heavenly soldiers arrives, I will eradicate this little alien race." Pei Burang said.

In his mind, when faced with an underfed evil wolf, feeding him again would not help. The only solution was to beat him to death with a stick so that he would never dare to open his greedy fangs again!

However, he noticed that after he said these words, Gu Beichuan looked at him with a look that was half provocative and half disdainful.

Could it be that I made a mistake?

Pei Burang didn't argue with Gu Beichuan, but kept silent.

He had lost a lot of face to the Gu family boy just now. If he said something inappropriate at this time, he would inevitably be ridiculed by the other party.

As expected, seeing that Pei Burang had not fallen into the trap, Gu Beichuan's face showed disappointment.

Mr. Xiang saw all this and couldn't help but smile and said: "Young man, do you have any good ideas?"

"I can't tell you how to do it, but I do have some insights."

"Have you ever thought about it, Marquis Zhengyang, that although the Yayu Mountains are fertile and wild for thousands of miles, the terrain is so high that there is not much fertile land suitable for planting."

"So most of the northern barbarians make a living by hunting and mining, and their lives are particularly harsh and cold."

"If you want to winter, you often have to kill large beasts and use their fur to keep warm."

"If such a group of people can have enough food and clothing, they should be satisfied. Why are they so greedy?"

Hearing this, Mr. Xiang couldn't help but frown slightly.

Yes, what Gu Beichuan said makes some sense.

Human nature is greedy, but the degree of greed is linked to knowledge.

It is unusual for the northern barbarians who live in such poverty to be so unsatisfied.

"Unless the favor of the imperial court does not fall on them!"

"Are you saying that there are people in the imperial court who have enriched their own pockets and squandered favors?" Mr. Xiang's brows were frowning, and his face even showed a bit of anger.

"No, no one dares to contradict His Majesty's words in the court. What's more, the Northern Barbarians are His Majesty's special concern. No matter how bold they are, the officials of the Imperial Court will not dare to be greedy."

"But the officials of the imperial court will not be corrupt, but it does not mean that the local officials of the Northern Barbarians will not."

As soon as this statement came out, Pei Burang was the first to not believe it. He didn't care about being ridiculed and stood up and said: "Impossible. Most of the native officials of the Northern Barbarians are the leaders of their tribes. They are supported by the barbarians. How could they covet the favor of the Mo court?" ?”

"Yes, you must know that the Holy One also felt that appointing tribal leaders as officials could better manage the barbarians, so he established the chieftain system."

"They are all members of the same ethnic group. It is unlikely that they would be greedy for favors." Mr. Xiang was a little disappointed when he heard this.

However, it is normal. After all, Gu Beichuan is only a nineteen-year-old boy. It is good to have some opinions without having to deal with state affairs. He should not be too demanding.

"Really? Then let me ask, if the Northern Barbarians are sincerely convinced and submit to Daqian, will Your Majesty still need these chieftains and local officials?" Gu Beichuan's eyes were shining brightly, and his whole person seemed to be radiating the brilliance of wisdom.

"Of course not. The northern barbarians have all been conquered, and what are they still doing with the native officials?" Pei Burang said carelessly, and even thought that Gu Beichuan was talking nonsense.

"In this case, if the favor is allowed to be released and the Northern Barbarians surrender, whose interests will be lost?"
