"Hu thinks, huh~" Dong Hu frowned because the plums were so sour. He paused for a moment before continuing, "It's unlikely."

"Chi~"

Dong Ping couldn't help but laugh. He picked up another green plum and handed it to Dong Hu, joking:

"Mr. Mu, you are a heroic man who can keep a straight face even when mending wounds. How come you eat a plum and frown like a little girl?"

Dong Hu thanked Bu Min. He took the plums with both hands, bowed and put them back into the celadon plate.

"Ming Gong was kind enough to mend the wound with needle and thread. The pain was between the skin and flesh, but he could bear it, so his expression did not change. He chewed the green plums, and the soreness was in the pulp of his teeth. He couldn't bear it, so he frowned."

"Hahahaha~"

Dong Yi clasped his hands and laughed, while Dong Ping laughed and grabbed a handful of lotus seeds and handed them over.

"Mr. Mu, the lotus seeds are sweet and not sour. Please eat more."

"Thank you, brother Tianjun."

"Don't eat too much, always leave some for me and Tianjun."

Dong Yi waved to Dong Ping to give him some lotus seeds, and then asked Dong Hu: "Mr. Mu, why is it unlikely? Please explain in detail."

"Wei." Dong Hu cupped his hands and accepted the order, "What Ou Xing did was clearly to strive for the qualification for himself to play Yiqi. Judging from Hu's point of view, he had no motive to overturn the chessboard. What's more, he also

It doesn’t have the power to overturn the chessboard.”

"Oh?" The glass of wine was empty, Dong Yi raised his eyebrows, "Between the heels, three arrows hit three herons in a row. Even the Qiang and Hu vulture shooters would find it difficult to do it. The Ou family has such warriors,

Why does Duke Mu still feel that he lacks strength?"

Dong Hu stood up, picked up the jug and added wine to Dong Yi, and then replied:

"For example, Qiang and Hu people used to ride sheep and shoot gophers with small wooden bows when they were young. When they grew up, they used larger bows to shoot foxes and rabbits. Even so, it is difficult to find a vulture shooter among 100,000 people."

"It would be difficult for the Ou family to find another archer like Ou Xing. Unless Hou Yi is reincarnated, otherwise, a single marksman cannot influence the overall situation."

Having said this, Dong Hu paused, pointed out three fingers, and continued: "Hu thinks that the Ou family lacks strength. There are three reasons for this."

"The barbarians of the Ou family, including Ou Xing himself, can only shoot arrows on the back of a stationary or slow-moving horse. If the horse speed increases slightly, they can only hold the reins tightly with both hands, lest they be thrown off the horse.

Down."

"With such a level of horse control, it is even more impossible to use a long spurge on horseback."

"Horses are the foundation of military armor, but the Au family has no qualified knights at all - this is one of the symptoms of lack of strength."

"Today, Tiger's chin was scratched by his own broken bow arm. It was the barbarians from the Ou family who cleaned and stitched the wound for Tiger. Tiger should remember it and thank him."

"However, most of the Longxi Erlangs disdain such small wounds. But the barbarians of the Ou family are facing a formidable enemy. They disinfect and stitch with great fanfare. This shows that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, which lacks strength.

Performance 2.”

"According to Ou Xing, the Ou family has been farming diligently in the Yuhua area since they surrendered to the imperial court in the third year of Yanxi and were incorporated into the household system. They have never made any trouble."

"It has been 27 years since the third year of Yanxi. Thirty years have passed. Some of the old barbarians who participated in the barbarian rebellion and went to the battlefield have died, and the rest are too old to lift the sword. Like Ou Xing

Such young barbarians have never seen the battlefield. The lack of experienced veterans is the third sign of lack of strength."

"Therefore, Hu thinks that the Au family lacks strength."

"Cai! Bang bang bang bang~" Dong Yi and Dong Ping both high-fived and cheered.

"Mr. Mu, please take a sip of wine to moisten your throat first." Dong Yi raised his glass in toast.

"Wei, thank you Minggong." Dong Hu drank full of wine and raised his hand to express his gratitude.

"You know from the smallest detail that Duke Mu has the talent of a general, but he has committed himself to be the leader of the bodyguards. Yi is really scared." Dong Yi raised his glass again and said, "Please have another drink."

"I don't dare to take it seriously. Ming Gong's words are too serious." Dong Hu avoided the table and walked out, drinking again.

Dong Yi waved his hand, indicating to Dong Hu to sit back and relax, and then continued:

"However, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Mr. Mu, what you just said is that you know the enemy but don't know yourself."

This time, it was Dong Hu who was toasting.

"Please also ask Ming Gong to teach me."

"Mr. Mu, please don't confuse Changsha with Longxi. Changsha is an inner county and Longxi is a border county. The soldiers in Changsha are very different from those in Longxi."

"Since the Jianwu period, when Shizu abolished the commander-in-chief and the knights, the number of standing armies in the inner counties has been greatly reduced."

"Just a few but good ones. After the Dudu Examination Campaign, since there is no longer any need for regular training and annual assessments, the county soldiers in the inner county have been neglected in military affairs and cannot be used for much purpose."

"The barbarians of the Ou family have never been in war and are not good at riding and shooting, but what about the county soldiers in Changsha?" Dong Yi asked Dong Hu and Dong Ping.

After taking a sip of wine, Dong Yi gave his own answer before the two of them could answer.

"The county soldiers in Changsha are far inferior to the barbarians from the District family!"

"The barbarians of the Ou family are vigorous and resolute, and they enforce orders and prohibitions. Even though they are not qualified knights, they are definitely excellent officials."

"If the Ou family raises an issue in Longxi, maybe it can be put down in ten months. But here, I'm afraid that within ten months, the city walls of Luo County will be knocked down by the barbarians."

"Mr. Mu, in Luo County, you should not underestimate the Qu family."

"Wei." Dong Hu bowed his head and bowed, "Hu would like to be taught."

Dong Yi's mouth went dry as he spoke. He stretched out his hand to help Dong Hu up, then raised his glass and drank it all.

"If you drink enough, you don't need so many gifts."

"Wei." Dong Hu and Dong Ping also raised their glasses and drank.

…

The three of them stopped playing chess and started chatting as they were drunk.

Dong Ping suddenly thought of something and said: "I don't know whether Ou Gongchen is qualified to play chess on this couch. However, I did hear a secret - he almost became one of Kou's couches.

Bin.”

"Oh?" Dong Yi was quite interested when it came to the biggest local tycoon, "Elaborate."

"When Ou Gongchen was young, he went to primary school in Kou's Wu. It is said that he spoke well, had a photographic memory, and was extremely intelligent. There was a member of the Kou clan who wanted to recruit him as his wife."

"Hey~" Dong Hu snorted, shook his head, and then stuffed a handful of lotus seeds into his mouth.

"Ou Gongchen naturally refused. But he is really smart and has a bright future. Then there are people from the Kou clan who want to recognize him as their son and ask him to change his surname and clan."

"Do you know which one it is?" Dong Ping interrupted and asked.

Dong Ping shook his head: "This is not clear."

"This incident caused a great deal of fuss, which made all the Kou boys feel insecure, fearing that having a brother in their family would divide the family property. So they went to Gongchen in the isolated and excluded area of ​​the elementary school."

"However, it is definitely not the main sect - both Luohou and his sons are on good terms with Ou Gongchen."

"But it shouldn't be a small sect. Later, Ou Gongchen asked Kou De to help introduce him to Nanyang Song Zhongzi to continue his studies."

"Kou De originally wanted to agree, but there was a lot of criticism within the clan, so the matter was dropped. This shows that the people in Gongchen, who have a grudge, have a high status in the Kou family."

"Ou Xing only attended elementary school?" Dong Yi grasped the key information.

"Of course. If Ming Gong commends District Gongchen as a filial and honest person, he will be honored and generous, which is really extraordinary. He will definitely be grateful and work hard to repay him."

"Shan." Dong Yi nodded lightly, "Tianjun, please continue."

…

At three quarters of Hai hour, the night had turned deep, and the candle in the Yanyu lamp was almost burned out. Dong Hu got up and was about to get another candle to replace it.

"Mr. Mu, no, there's no need to change. Once it's burned out, go to bed." Dong Yi stood up and pulled Dong Hu back, almost bringing them down together.

Turning back to the couch, Dong Yi grabbed Dong Ping who was about to get up and leave, and left him behind. The master and servant held their arms and fell asleep.

"Mr. Mu, Jingnan is humid and the summer heat is unbearable. When the weather turns cooler in autumn, you can go back to Longxi and bring me and my family over."
