Li Beiyang put away his smile and said seriously: "No, no, Mr. Yin. Only under the leadership of Your Majesty can our country realize the resurgence. More than a hundred years ago, our country did not have famous generals who could compete with the Jin people. But They were still defeated at the hands of the Jin people who were weaker than the Mongols. There are many reasons for this. Li is not in a position to comment. Now His Majesty is a god descending to earth. He can discern the secrets of heaven. You and I will obey your orders and we will definitely be able to make great achievements. When the time comes. We are all ministers of ZTE. This is our great fortune."
Yin Yinglei nodded slightly and agreed: "Master Li is still more knowledgeable."
"Minister of the ZTE. Mr. Li said it well. When your Majesty rules the world, your Majesty will be the emperor of the ZTE Song Dynasty. The grand master will be the grand master of the ZTE Song Dynasty. We are also famous generals of the ZTE." Lu Xiufu smiled. However, Then he sighed again: "It's just that you have to be able to discern the secrets of heaven. Your Majesty is the only one who can do it. But it is difficult for us."
"The grand master who will revive the Song Dynasty." Jia Sidao thought to himself.
I smiled and said: "It is naturally difficult to gain insight into the secrets of heaven. However, as long as we constantly summarize the experiences and lessons of our predecessors, we can learn from them. Back then, Emperor Sui Yang's three expeditions to Goguryeo failed. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty learned from the failure of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. He conquered Goguryeo twice. However, the expedition was still too laborious and the logistics supply line was too long. Even so, it cannot be said to be a failure. This is already a big step forward. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, he adopted the method of removing fuel from the cauldron. He sent troops during spring plowing, retreated after harassment, and set fire to the country during autumn harvest. After only three years of this, Goguryeo's national power declined. Then, the Tang army marched in troops again and conquered Goguryeo in one fell swoop. Tang Gaozong's ability is naturally far inferior to that of Tang Taizong. But because he can learn from past lessons and constantly sum up experience, this experience is the prerequisite for insight into the secrets of heaven. Therefore, he can succeed. Yin Aiqing, Li Aiqing, you. It is necessary to summarize the battle of Goguryeo during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. But it cannot be copied. After all, the situation is different."
"Yes. I will teach you."
"Okay. Dear dear friends of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the Military Academy can only give you the goals, missions and strategic and tactical framework. The specific plan will have to be formulated after you land on the peninsula. Goryeo and I face each other across the sea. Transportation It is extremely inconvenient. You will have to fight alone from the moment you go to sea. Therefore, you need to deal with the Eastern Expedition according to local conditions and time. Everyone, I will not say more. If there are no questions, this meeting That’s the end.”
Yin Yinglei hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, I have one last question."
"Say it."
"Your Majesty, our military discipline is strictly enforced. The military is explicitly prohibited from harassing ordinary people. If we land on the Korean Peninsula, will our military discipline still apply?"
"Military discipline and military regulations are like the laws of our dynasty. They apply to the entire territory of our dynasty. But they do not apply to areas like Goryeo that will be included in our dynasty's territory planning and have not yet been conquered. Yin Ai Qing. For the army and people of Goryeo, first of all, Persuasion is the basis. Especially for the local people, you must not leave them with the same brutal impression that our army is like the Mongols. Of course, for those who are determined to fight against our country, no matter what their identity, you can handle it on your own. However. You must leave no trace. Didn't I ask you to bring fifty imperial guards with you? When appropriate, you can let them go and do their activities in private. You understand."
Yin Yinglei smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I understand. I obey your order."
When Yang Liazhenjia arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jia Sidao was half-lying on an armchair in the study room with his eyes slightly closed. He was thinking about Lu Xiufu's words during the day meeting. "The Grand Master of Zhongxing. The famous general of Zhongxing." Listen. It seems to look pretty good.
"Master Xiang. Master Xiang."
Jia Xuan shouted twice in succession. Jia Sidao slowly opened his eyes: "Jia Xuan, what's the matter?"
"Master Xiang, Master Lian Zhen has arrived."
"Lian Zhen. I haven't seen him for a while. Please ask him to come in."
In a short time, Jia Xuan brought Yang Liazhenjia to Jia Sidao's study.
"The poor monk Lian has really met the Grand Master."
"Master Lianzhen. Long time no see."
"Yes. Grand Master and poor monk like the snow scenery in the north. So every winter, they go north to experience the extreme cold."
"Chill." Jia Sidao shook his head and said, "Lian Zhen. Is the snow scene in the north so attractive?"
"Grand Master, I don't know something. The poor monk has been a monk in the north since he was a child. So he must have a sense of attachment." Lian Zhen smiled. "Grand Master, you look good."
"Put your worries aside and see Nanshan in leisurely time." Jia Sidao also showed a smile and said, "Jia Xuan, go and prepare some food and wine. I and the master will have a few drinks."
"Yes. Mr. Xiang."
"By the way, Jia Xuan, let's take the Chinese Royal Liquid."
"yes."
After Jia Xuan left, Yang Lianzhen praised him and said: "Haha. A poor monk who is a great master admires him."
"Lian Zhen. It's all thanks to you."
Yang Lianzhenjia secretly smiled bitterly and said: "Grand Master, then again, with the great talent of Grand Master, can I really let go of my heart completely?"
"It doesn't matter whether you let it go or not. Didn't the master say back then that the upper-level situation is booming and should be avoided."
"Grand Master, things are ever-changing. As the saying goes, thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river will bring peace and prosperity. Who knows what this year's fortune will be like."
"This year. This year the war may break out. I am old and don't want to participate anymore."
Yang Lianzhenjia knew the truth and asked: "War. What kind of war?"
"Master, as an outsider, I don't know. There has been a break between Song Dynasty and Mongolia for several years. It is very likely that a large-scale war will break out again this year."
Yang Lian Zhenjia thought for a while and said: "Master Taishi, let's go to war. The emperor will definitely use capable ministers like Taishi. Then won't Taishi be able to show his talents?"
When Jia Sidao saw the food and wine being served, he said, "Let's chat while we eat. Lian Zhen, this Chinese Imperial Liquid is pretty good."
"Well, Taishi. Since the last time I drank at your place, I feel that other liquors cannot be called wine."
"Haha. Master is exaggerating."
Yang Lianzhenjia said: "Master, I'll give you a drink first."
The Chinese Royal Liquid is very powerful. After three cups, Jia Sidao's face already had a slight blush: "Master Liangzhen, I have gradually gotten used to this carefree life. If there is a war, It really broke out. But I don’t want to do that hard work. I would rather enjoy the happiness at home. Isn’t it great?”
Yang Liazhenjia looked at Jia Sidao, drank a glass of wine, and said hesitantly: "Grand Master, it would be nice if... I could always enjoy happiness. I'm afraid..."
Jia Sidao frowned slightly and said: "Master, what do I think? You are a little strange today. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Yang Lianzhenjia sighed and said: "Master, the poor monk looked at the face of the master when he first came in. On the surface, the face of the master looked normal. However, later, when the monk took a closer look, he found something was wrong. And Compared to before, there is a hint of hidden danger in Grand Master's appearance."
"What hidden danger?"
"Grand Master, the poor monk and the Master have known each other for a year or two. Forgive the poor monk for speaking frankly. This hidden danger is called autumn disease in physiognomy. This is not a good sign." Yang Lian Zhenjia explained. "The so-called autumn disease Disease. The original meaning of disease is a disease that is easy to get in autumn. However, it has another meaning in physiognomy. Taishi. Since ancient times, the criminal law has the saying of "asking for beheading after autumn". It means that after the case is settled, the execution of the prisoner will not be carried out until autumn. .So the autumn illness mentioned in physiognomy means being liquidated afterwards."
"Liquidation afterwards." Jia Sidao said with a chill in his heart. "Master, tell me in detail."
Yang Lianzhenjia softly said "Hmm": "Master Taishi, there is a saying in physiognomy. The posture is constant. It is one. Yin and Yang are half and half, which is two. The sum of one and one is two. It is called balance. When When the balance is lost, there will be a situation where one is strong and the other is weak, and one is weak and the other is strong. The strong becomes stronger and the weak becomes weaker. When the strong party reaches a certain level, it will devour the weak. Therefore, outside of balance, the relationship between strength and weakness will appear. It is difficult for powerful forces to coexist and work together. If we look at the actual situation of the Grand Master, it means that when the upper level is too strong, it will swallow up the strength of the lower level. In other words, when the upper level completely controls the situation, it will cleanse those who do not belong to the upper level. Other forces in the force. The strong ones among the other forces will be purged by the superiors first."
Jia Sidao said half-convinced, "Will it?"
"Grand Master, this is just a possibility. Of course, the thoughts of the current high-ranking monks cannot be known. Maybe Grand Master has an idea."
Jia Sidao murmured: "That's not the case."
"The poor monk only explained according to the meaning of physiognomy. He is not completely sure. Physiography is always in a state of ambiguity. It is difficult to say. Changes in fortune and the meaning of heaven are not something that ordinary people like us can decipher. ."
Jia Sidao suddenly remembered that at today's military meeting, Lu Xiufu said that your Majesty must have such insight into the secrets of heaven. Could it be that Zhao Yu really has this ability? Judging from the character Zhao Yu has shown in the past two years, for his enemies . He will not be lenient at all. But he is still his enemy.
In the past two years, with the strong rise of imperial power, Jia Sidao's real power has become smaller and smaller. But on the surface, he is still the head of hundreds of officials. However, Jia Sidao himself cannot figure out. He is constantly The ground is still lurking and waiting.
According to Yang Liazhenjia's initial statement, Jia Sidao should first avoid the strong power of his superiors, secretly accumulate strength, and then counterattack when the power fails. However, Jia Sidao gradually felt that the semi-retired life was quite comfortable. Over time, .The desire to fight back gradually disappeared.
A person who can endure for more than ten years is indeed very scary. What Lian Zhen said is not impossible. Thinking about it, Jia Sidao couldn't help but shudder. After drinking a glass of wine alone, he calmed down a little. He continued: "Master Lianzhen, is there any way to solve it?"
