    Meng Ju looked at the letter in his hand carelessly and did not look up for a long time.  In front of him, stood a middle-aged official in a blue shirt, standing with a bow and a submissive smile on his face.

    "So, Mr. Liu Zhixian is the envoy sent by Huaishuo, and the judge of Dingshuo Mansion is staying behind?"

    Hearing Meng Ju's question, the official bowed even lower: "Returning to the Governor, I am here to see the Governor at the order of Governor Huaishuo Yuwen. I heard that the Governor was happy to accept Xiaoxing, and Governor Yuwen expressed his sincere heart.  congratulate"

    "Hey, Master Liu was a Jinshi in the first year of Taichang, right?"

    Liu Zhixian was stunned: "Yes, my humble position is the third-ranked Jinshi of Ming Dynasty in the first year of Taichang."

    Meng Ju glanced at him and said slowly: "Since you are a Jinshi, you should know the laws of the court. When did the court appoint the governor of Huaishuo? How come I, the governor of Northern Xinjiang, don't know anything about it?"

    It seemed that he was well prepared for Meng Ju¡¯s question, and Liu Zhixian didn¡¯t appear to be panicked.  He knelt down on the ground and said sincerely: "Great Governor, please allow me to return from my humble position. A year ago, Marshal Tuoba suddenly led Huaishuo troops southward. At that time, there were no generals or soldiers in Huaishuo town, and they were facing north.  The devil spied on several times, and the city was in panic every day. The residents in the city thought that they would abandon the city and run south. Dingshuo City actually wanted to abandon it without defending it, and one hundred thousand border residents were about to become barbarians.

    At this critical moment, His Excellency Yuwen stepped forward resolutely, recruited brave men in the city, went out of the city to fight bravely, and defeated the Northern Demon.  The remaining civil and military officials and gentry in the city admired His Excellency Yuwen for his bravery and recommended him to the post of governor of Huaishuo.  In order to calm the hearts and minds of the army and the people, His Excellency Yuwen had to overcome the difficulties and take office - the border crisis is related to the safety of hundreds of thousands of border residents. This is a matter of urgency. It is not that Governor Yuwen intends to offend the majesty of the Governor. He hopes that the Governor can show mercy to hundreds of thousands of border residents.  , forgive this unintentional offense.  "

    The most annoying thing is you guys who always think about the common people in the world.  Meng Ju sneered: "No offense? Very good, now I know. You go back and tell Yuwentai that it is a serious crime to appoint an official of the imperial court without authorization. I want him to go to the governor's post immediately, and then come to Dongping to apologize to the imperial court. Tell Yuwentai,  You must consider the safety of the people under your jurisdiction and do not offend the imperial court. Tell him that if he does not arrive within a month, the imperial court will surely descend with thunder and wrath."

    Liu Zhixian was stunned for a moment, and then he kowtowed in panic: "The guilty people beg the Governor to be lenient! I beg the Governor to be lenient, because all sentient beings in Huaishuo are suffering and in danger¡ª¡ª"

    Meng Ju ignored him and picked up the tea cup. Wang Jiu, who was standing next to him, understood and shouted: "Come here, send the guest out!" Two guards came in and took Liu Zhixian out.

    After driving away the messenger, Meng Ju took a sip of tea and suppressed the anger in his heart.  He feels that he is not a narrow-minded person.  If Yuwentai had some sense and had resigned from his official position first, then apologized, asked for forgiveness, and expressed his allegiance and surrender, in order to stabilize the Huaishuo front, he would not be unable to keep him.

    ¡°But this guy is so arrogant that he doesn¡¯t even do superficial things.  He sent an envoy with a letter to say congratulations on his acceptance of Xiaoxing. He also added a few words saying that due to the haste of the matter, he would not have time to report to Meng Ju after he was appointed governor of Huaishuo. This was very offensive. He hoped that the governor would be generous and not take offense.  ¡ª¡ªWhen he read this letter, Meng Ju had the urge to push the messenger out and behead him.

    Be generous, your sister!  Liang Zi who murdered him back then has not yet been solved. Now that you, Yu Wentai, are good at serving as the governor of Huaishuo, why don't you just write a letter to yourself and let it go?  What does he think of me, the governor of Northern Xinjiang?  This is not provocation. What is provocation?

    Do you really think you have no time to deal with him?

    After thinking angrily for a while, Meng Ju stood up and walked towards the door.  Knowing that Meng Ju was going out, Wang Jiu followed wisely, helped Meng Ju put on his cloak, and then turned back to get a lantern.

    It was already evening, the sky was gray, and it was about to snow. The mausoleum was silent, and the dry trees showed their withered branches in the distance.  Meng Ju couldn't help but wrap up his coat tightly as a gust of cold wind blew in his face.

    The master and servant walked along the road and came to a small courtyard next to the mausoleum.  Wang Jiu knocked on the door of the courtyard. After a while, someone opened the door a small crack, and a stern shout came out: "Who is coming outside? There is no order, and it is strictly forbidden to stay here and harass!"

    "I'm Meng Ju, open the door."

    Wang Jiu stepped forward and lit up Meng Ju's sign in front of the door, using a lantern to show it inside.  Immediately, the door of the courtyard was opened, and two guards wearing the military uniforms of the mausoleum department came out and saluted Meng Ju: "I didn't know that the governor arrived, so he was not far away to greet him."

    "It's okay. Is Mr. Wen sleeping in there?"

    "Reporting to the Governor, Mr. Wen hasn't fallen asleep yet. He is still reading."

    "You go and report that Meng is asking for a meeting. I wonder if you are free now?"

    ?????????????????The guard of the Mausoleum Office ran away as ordered, and another guard led Meng Ju all the way in. They came to a bungalow, where a middle-aged scholar wearing a long gown was already standing in front of the door waiting.

    Seeing that Meng Ju came to visit suddenly with only one entourage, the middle-aged scholar looked very surprised. He bowed to the ground and said: "It's a snowy and cold night. I didn't know that the governor was coming. Wen was so far away to welcome him. Why don't you invite me?"  Forgive me, Grand Governor."

    Meng Ju bowed his hands politely and said, "Mr. Wen, you're welcome. Meng came to visit late at night, and Mr. Naonuo has rested."

    "It's okay. It's cold outside. Mayor, please come in and have a cup of tea."

    Meng Ju nodded and stepped inside calmly. The layout of the room was very simple, with a bed and a table. There was a pile of books, paper, ink, teapots, cups and other sundries on the table. A dim oil lamp glowed on the table. There was almost nothing else.  clutter.

    This Mr. Wen is Wen Hanzhang, Tuoba Xiong¡¯s staff.  When Meng Ju kidnapped Tuoba Xiong's eldest son that day, he also kidnapped him.  Now, Meng Ju has returned to Dongping a long time ago, and the eldest son Tuoba Xiang and several generals have also been sent back. Meng Ju only leaves Mr. Wen alone.

    Mr. Wen poured a cup of tea for Meng Ju and took the tea cup. Meng Ju looked around and sighed: "The people below don't know how to do things, and the place is shabby. I really neglect you. I will order them to change it for you tomorrow."  Point¡¯s accommodation.¡±

    "The governor has said that it is very good for Wen to have such a place as a prisoner. What's more, the brothers outside have treated Wen very leniently. Wen can go out for walks twice a day and have meals.  He also took good care of Wen's appetite and helped Meng find books, paper and ink for him to spend his leisure time. As a prisoner, he was very satisfied with such treatment, and Wen did not dare to expect anything else.  "

    Meng Ju smiled faintly. Mr. Wen kept saying that he was satisfied, but his strong resentment could not be concealed.  But Meng Ju pretended not to hear, and said to himself: "There is something that Meng needs to tell Mr. Tuoba Xiang: We released Master Tuoba Xiang a few days ago. Thinking about the time, he should have been released by now.  It¡¯s time to move to the marshal¡¯s territory. So, sir, you don¡¯t have to worry about his safety.¡±

    Mr. Wen smiled and said: "The governor promises a thousand pieces of gold. He is indeed a rare believer."

    Meng Ju was extremely shameless, and when he heard Mr. Wen's compliment, he couldn't help but blush. He had signed an armistice agreement with Tuoba Xiong, and within two months he tore up the agreement and went south to help in the war. It was just to help in the war.  He sneaked into Tuoba Xiong's territory to incite, abducted three brigades of the border army, and also kidnapped Tuoba Xiong's eldest son - now, Mr. Wen opened his eyes and told lies to praise his credibility, Meng Ju  I really don¡¯t know if the other person is complimenting me or slapping me in the face.

    Meng Jucha changed the topic: "I have been busy with trivial matters a while ago, so I haven't come to see you sir. I hope you won't be offended."

    "The governor is too polite. This time the governor suddenly sent troops outside the fortress, rushed thousands of miles to attack the Turkic king's tent, and defeated his army. Such achievements are really fascinating. In the 300 years since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, except for the founding years, there have always been conflicts with outside the fortress.  There were more losses than wins, and even draws were rare. Unexpectedly, at a time when the country was in decline, it was really exciting to hear such good news. The military affairs of the town and governor were important, and Wen was an idle man, and it didn't matter whether he saw it or not.  "

    "Mr. Wen has given me the award"

    Meng Ju laughed. He wanted to change the topic implicitly, but it felt awkward no matter how he changed it - he was really not the type to be subtle.  In the end, he simply went straight to the point: "Mr. Wen, you also know the situation on Meng's side. Although Meng has read some books, in fact, he still has the rough temper of a warrior at heart. Meng's subordinates, from top to bottom, are also  Most of them are warriors. For us people, it is enough to fight and fight, but it is really not possible to use our brains to think about big things.

    Meng Mou has heard for a long time that Mr. Meng has extensive knowledge and unparalleled scheming. He is indeed an unparalleled national scholar.  Meng came here late at night and wanted to ask Mr. Meng to help me. I also hoped that Mr. Meng would not think Meng was vulgar.  "

    Mr. Wen gently put the tea cup on the table and said: "Wen is really honored to be appreciated by the Governor. However, Wen already has a lord to serve, so Wen can only accept the Governor's kindness.  It¡¯s disrespectful.¡±

    "Mr. Wen, Marshal Tuoba has been defeated one after another recently. From what Meng has seen, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to recover. With your great talent, birds choose good trees to live in. You should know that the Marshal will not stay there for a long time.  The ground."

    Mr. Wen was silent. After a while, he sighed: "The Marshal treats me as a confidant of the country. Now that the Marshal is in danger, I cannot abandon the Marshal. Wen can only accept the Governor's kindness."

    Meng Ju sighed, this was what bothered him the most.

    After the failure of the second Battle of Jincheng, Tuoba Xiong's defeat has become very obvious.  Even the brigade commanders below, such as Guan Shanhe and Bai Yubian, could sense that the situation of the border army was not good. Meng Ju didn't believe that Mr. Wen, a senior staff officer, could not see it.this.

    Yi Xiaodao and Guan Shanhe, the generals with troops and horses, all know the principle of birds choosing good trees to roost in, and they will come over immediately without hesitation. However, it is troublesome for scholars like Mr. Wen, who clearly know that the old master is dead.  The ship was still pretending to be guarding the ship, pretending to be a loyal minister who died on the ship. Of course, this was not Mr. Wen's way of raising his own self-esteem, but in Meng Ju's eyes, it only made him feel annoyed. I had so many important things to be busy with.  Yes, I just got back from marrying a beautiful wife. I work fourteen hours a day and don't even have enough time to hug my wife to sleep. How can I have time to play the game of visiting the thatched cottage with you restless sour men?

    But it¡¯s impossible not to play. Since Mr. Wen wants to play the role of a loyal national scholar, he has to play the role of the wise leader of the polite corporal. The roles are all arranged, and everyone has to follow the routine.

    "Sir, what you said is wrong. The marshal failed because he acted against the will of heaven and human will. This defeat was destined by God and cannot be undone by human power. Sir, there is no peer in the country and he has a promising life. Wouldn't it be a pity if he was wasted and buried?  On Meng¡¯s side, although his strength is not yet comparable to that of the Marshal, Meng does sincerely invite you, and I hope you won¡¯t dislike it.¡±

    "Wen was indeed deeply moved by the good intentions of the Governor. But Wen's old master is still here, how can a loyal minister care about it? Therefore, the Governor will not make it difficult for me. Of course, since Wen lives in Dongping, if the Governor has  If you have any doubts, Wen might as well help the counselor."

    Meng Ju understood.  It's not that Mr. Wen doesn't want to serve Meng Ju, it's just that Tuoba Xiong hasn't resigned yet, and he is embarrassed to openly change jobs, otherwise the reputation of abandoning his boss will be too bad.  But if anything happens to Meng Ju, he is very willing to help.

    In this case, Meng Ju is not polite.  He took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "Sir, did you meet Yu Wentai when you were in Huaishuo?"

    "We met a few times and chatted a few times, but we didn't have a deep friendship. At that time, Gang Leader Yuwen was a popular figure in front of the marshal, and he didn't look down on someone like me - What, is the Governor planning to use troops against Huaishuo?  ?¡±

    Meng Ju nodded and said solemnly: "Yu Wentai's bullying is too much. It is intolerable. I am determined to pull out this nail."

    Hearing the string and knowing the elegant sound, Mr. Wen knew Meng Ju¡¯s purpose of coming to him.  He took a sip of tea, stared at the dark scenery outside the window, and said deeply: "Governor, the Black Wolf Gang has more than 50,000 members, including no less than 10,000 combat soldiers, and more than 300 combat armors. In terms of real combat,  They only have the strength of two or three brigades. After the marshal went south, Yuwentai's strength may have increased, but no matter how much it increases, they are limited to just one town in Huaishuo, and they will not be much stronger. If the town governor wants  They are determined not to be able to withstand the thunder's wrath."

    Mr. Wen spoke very optimistically, but his expression was solemn. Meng Ju knew that he must have something to say, so he didn't say anything to urge him. He just held the teacup and waited quietly.

    "The Black Wolf Gang is not to be feared, but Yu Wentai is very troublesome." Mr. Wen said: "I have some knowledge of fortune-telling and have met Yu Wentai. This man has a ruthless appearance, looks at the eagle as the wolf looks at the wolf, and has the world in mind - this  He has the faint appearance of an emperor, and has the aura of a dragon to turn into a dragon when encountering a storm. This person has a strong destiny and a very tough luck. It is not difficult for the governor to defeat the Black Wolf Gang, but it will take thousands of years to kill this person.  It¡¯s extremely difficult.¡±

    "A strong destiny? Mr. Wen, how do you say this?"

    "Grand Governor, the science of fortune-telling is mysterious and profound. Wen has only dabbled in it a little, and I can't explain it too deeply to you. This is not a Confucian theory, but belongs to the category of Qimen miscellaneous arts.

    According to the folk saying, this person is "very tough" and he can always escape from dangers of near death. Even on the battlefield where flying arrows are like rain and corpses are everywhere, he can still remain unscathed; even if the ropes are tied with swords and axes,  There is always someone to save him at the critical moment.  Once he starts to do something, he can always go smoothly and rise quickly.  It is almost impossible to kill such a person before his luck runs out.  "

    Meng Ju nodded.  When Mr. Wen said this, he understood.  He has also seen a person with extremely tough fate, and that is his great enemy Shen Tu Jue.  He had defeated him no less than three times on the battlefield. He even captured and tied him up and was ready to kill him, but someone still came out to hinder him. He could always slip away, escape, and then come back at the most critical moment.

    "Mr. Wen, is it impossible to get rid of such a tough-minded person like you said?"

    "It's not impossible to deal with it. For example, if you want to kill Yu Wentai, there are two ways. One is to find someone with a tougher destiny and stronger luck than him to deal with him. If the destiny is incompatible, his  If luck is restrained, it cannot be used. The second way is that although Yuwentai's destiny is hard, it is an innate blessing. But every time he escapes from danger, he always has to use up his luck. Wait for him  When the energy is exhausted, he will be almost like an ordinary person - this is what we often call someone."The vitality has been exhausted, and the life must be extinguished."  "

    Meng Ju suddenly understood, but he understood in his heart that Shentu Jue was so arrogant in the past, and escaped from himself three times, but when he caught him for the last time, his complexion and aura were indeed much worse than before, like  Like a sick man.

    This is what is called running out of energy. No wonder I was able to kill him so easily that time.

    Meng Ju was slightly excited, and he said tentatively: "From what I have seen, sir, if I personally send troops to conquer Huaishuo, can I defeat Yuwentai?"

    Mr. Wen smiled. He knew that this was Meng Ju asking whether his luck could restrain Yu Wentai's luck - well, being able to restrain the dragon fate was actually Meng Ju asking tactfully whether he had the true destiny.  Dragon's Emperor's order.

    Mr. Wen looked at Meng Ju for a while, shook his head and sighed: "Speaking of which, among the people I have seen in my life, the fate and appearance of the Governor are the most difficult for Wen to understand. According to the book, no matter how you look at it, the Governor  They are just literati's destiny, and their luck is just ordinary. When it comes to official position and salary, it is nothing more than the destiny of a noble character.

    ??????????????????????? However, the Grand Governor was able to reach the first rank of Wuhou, break the earth and be granted a title, and ranked at the top of the military ministers.  Especially since the Governor raised his troops, he has been invincible in all attacks and invincible in battles. He has destroyed the country and captured the king. His martial arts are at its peak, and his troops are sharp and unstoppable - this is really incredible.

    "Forgive Wen for his shallow talent, but Wen really can't see through the face of the governor.  However, with the current military strength and military strength of the Grand Governor, if he personally conquers Huaishuo, he will definitely win in two months at most. But it is hard to say whether he can kill Yuwentai.  "

    Meng Ju was slightly shocked, and he smiled nonchalantly and said, "In this case, I would like to thank you sir for your words. When the victory comes, I will come back to celebrate with you over wine."

    Mr. Wen looked at him, and there was something in his eyes that Meng Ju couldn't figure out.  He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He just sighed and remained silent while holding the tea cup.

    Meng Ju stood up and said, "It's late at night. I don't dare to disturb you, sir. I'll take my leave now. Have a good rest, sir. I'll come back to you another day to ask for advice."

    "The Governor" Looking at Meng Ju, Mr. Wen hesitated to speak. Finally, he just sighed and said, "That's fine, it's time to rest. I'll send the Governor out."

    Mr. Wen sent Meng Ju out of the outhouse. Wang Jiu was sitting on the small bench in the concierge and fell asleep. When he heard Meng Ju's footsteps coming out, he jumped up from the bench: "Sir!"

    "Xiaojiu, get the lantern, we are going back - Mr. Wen, please stay here, there is no need to give it away again."

    Mr. Wen nodded and stood by the door.  When Meng Ju turned around, he heard someone behind him sigh quietly: "What a pity"

    Meng Ju turned around: "Mr. Wen, what did you say?"

    "It's nothing. It's late at night and dark, so please be careful along the way and watch your step, Grand Governor."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    When Meng Ju returned home, it was already midnight.  Hearing his footsteps, Ouyang Qingqing went out to greet him with a lantern.  Seeing the concubine's tired smile, Meng Ju felt a little apologetic: "I was late tonight to approve official documents. I met a foreign envoy again, and finally went to visit Mr. Wen, so I came back late. My wife is very tired.  It¡¯s my fault that I can¡¯t rest either.¡±

    Ouyang Qingqing knelt down and said blessing: "What did you say, master? The master has to take care of all the big things, and I can't help, so I feel very guilty. It doesn't matter if I stay up a little later with you. But I still have to take care of myself."  Although the master is still young, he is either fighting or working on official documents every day, and his iron-clad body cannot bear it. Xiaojiu, you are the one who follows the master. You should always remember to remind him and don¡¯t make the master too tired.  .¡±

    Ouyang Qingqing patted the snowflakes on Meng Ju's body and welcomed him into the room.  She said softly: "Master, the midnight snack has been prepared. It is four vegetarian stir-fries and a pot of rice wine. It is being heated. Master, do you have an appetite?"

    "Uh, okay, bring it up."

    When the food was served, Meng Ju sat at the table, holding chopsticks, but stared blankly in front of him, reluctant to take down his chopsticks.

    Ouyang Qingqing was sitting next to Meng Ju. Seeing that he refused to take down his chopsticks, she was slightly flustered: "Master, I am not good at cooking. Is this food not to your liking?"

    "Ah!" Meng Juru woke up from his dream. He quickly took two mouthfuls of food: "Ah, no, the food is very tasty. Qingqing, it's none of your business. There's something I can't figure out."

    "Is it a very important matter for me to be so concerned about you?"

    "It's not a big deal, it's just that I just went to visit Wen Hanzhang. Before leaving, he seemed to have something to say to me, but he couldn't say it. I didn't know what he wanted to say, and I kept thinking about it.  , so that he fell into a trance."

    "Wen Hanzhang? This name is unfamiliarAh, are they the master¡¯s newly recruited subordinates?  "

    "Well, he is the counselor I snatched from Tuoba Xiong. This person is very strategic, but he is very bookish. He has not yet returned to me, so it is not easy to use him."

    Ouyang Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then she said sternly to Meng Ju: "Master, I am a woman and I don't know anything about military affairs, but I also know that if you gain scholars, your country will prosper, and if you lose them, your country will fall. For virtuous people,  The master must respect him and value him, so that such a talented person can concentrate on doing his best. Since you say that Mr. Wen is a rare talented person, then you should pay attention to his opinion."

    Meng Ju said distressedly: "But he refused to say it."

    "If you don't want to say it, it's because you are not sincere enough, sir. Sir, the country's talented people are different from ordinary traffickers. If you don't humbly ask for advice, show that you take it seriously, and entrust it to your confidant, how can others be willing to confide in you?"

    "That's right. I will visit Mr. Wen again tomorrow morning"

    Ouyang Qingqing said slowly: "Master, as a token of sincerity as I see it, you'd better go tonight and go now! In this way, you can show your sincerity and solemnity. If what I expect is true,  This Mr. Wen, he probably hasn¡¯t rested yet.¡±

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    At the second watch, Meng Ju stood in front of Mr. Wen¡¯s door again.  He saw that the other party's window was still lit, and Mr. Wen's back was visible in front of the window.

    "He's really not asleep." Meng Ju took a deep breath and knocked on the door. The "knock" sound on the door seemed particularly clear and loud in this silent night.

    The door opened and Mr. Wen was dressed neatly.  When he saw Meng Ju, he didn't look very surprised. He just cupped his hands and said, "Grand Governor, please come in."

    Meng Ju went in, and they sat down separately. Meng Ju couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Wen, you seem to be waiting for me? Did you know I would come back?"

    Mr. Wen smiled faintly: "Captain Governor, you came back late at night. Didn't you come specifically to ask Wen this question?"

    "Oh, yes. Mr. Wen, we just talked about the conquest of Huaishuo. Sir, you hesitated to speak. It seems that you have something to say. I wonder if there is anything wrong with this matter? I really came here to ask for advice sincerely.  I hope you can give me some advice, sir."

    Mr. Wen stared at the ripples of tea in his cup and was silent for a long time. He sighed: "The sincerity of the Governor's two visits on snowy nights really left Wen speechless. The world is in chaos today, and Wen's hands are unbound."  If a scholar with the power of a chicken had not been taken in by the governor, where would he have gone? Anyway, Wen would have to bear the bad reputation of being dishonest and unjust.

    Governor, please ask you in the future.  "

    He stood up and knelt down to Meng Ju: "Your Majesty, I will bow to you, Hanzhang!"

    Meng Ju was overjoyed. He stood up and helped Mr. Wen: "Sir, please get up quickly. From now on, you and I are called ministers, and we are actually teachers and friends. I will treat you as my confidant, and I hope that you will not give up on Meng Ju's superficiality.  Always remind me and give me guidance without reservation.¡±

    "How dare I disobey my lord! I will tell you everything I know from now on. Please forgive me for my previous willfulness. It is my fault that I have to make my lord trek twice on snowy nights."

    Having finally subdued a civil servant, Meng Ju felt comfortable: "Haha, Han Zhang, we are our own people, so there is no need to say these words. Tell me quickly, I plan to conquer Huaishuo, what's wrong with this?"

    Mr. Wen did not answer but asked: "My lord, why do you want to conquer Huaishuo?"

    Meng Ju was stunned and said: "Yu Wentai is arrogant and domineering. He is good at serving as the governor of Huaishuo. He ignores the authority of our six-town governor and breaks the court's laws. That's why I am determined to conquer him - well, this is the reason!"

    Mr. Wen shook his head: "My lord, you must not raise an army out of anger, and you must not go to war out of anger. You are the commander-in-chief. You talk about practical benefits, not your morale - you will gain from war! My lord, if you conquer Huaishuo,  What practical benefits can our army gain?"

    Meng Ju was stunned: Mr. Wen, you are a dignified person. I have been talking to you for a long time. You either said that the miscellaneous family¡¯s fortunes are calculated by their qi, or that the military strategists will profit from wars. Why haven¡¯t I heard you say a word about the Confucian moral principles of saints?  Status?

    But¡ª¡ªI like this kind of practical staff!

    "There are practical benefits, of course Well, if we take Huaishuo, we will have another town on our territory, and our population will increase by more than 100,000. This is a practical benefit."

    "Grand Governor, you are too optimistic. You need to know that Yuwen Taifei, who has appointed himself as the Governor of Huaishuo, is an ordinary local warlord. He is a tyrant who started from a local gang. The Black Wolf Gang is deeply rooted in the local area and has many members. Even if our army  We can defeat Huaishuo's soldiers and horses and occupy Dingshuo, but a strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake. Our army is stationed as a guest army. It is not easy to rule smoothly.

    As long as Yuwentai doesn¡¯t die, the remnants of the Black Wolf Gang will alsoThey will not give up. They will be active underground for a long time, confronting our troops and government officials stationed there, attacking our officers, soldiers and government officials, and leaving us exhausted.  Without a year or two of hard work, we can never hope to wipe them out.

    In this way, within a year or two, not only will we not be able to use Huaishuo's human, financial and material resources for our own use, but we will have to spend food and salary to station heavy troops there for a long time to suppress it. In this way, we will not enjoy half of the benefits of this newly occupied territory.  , but became a drag on us.  "

    "I have also considered what sir said. The Black Wolf Gang has been rampant in northern Xinjiang for many years and is deeply rooted. To eradicate them, it is indeed not something that can happen overnight. But things have to start"

    Mr. Wen interrupted Meng Ju rudely: "Lord, you misunderstood me. I'm not saying that the Black Wolf Gang cannot be suppressed - it must be suppressed, but not now! Because now, you have more important things to do.  .In these three months, there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of you. Once we miss it, we will regret it."

    Intimidated by Mr. Wen¡¯s momentum, Meng Ju couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°What opportunity?¡±

    Mr. Wen glared at Meng Ju with hatred, a look that showed hatred for steel.

    "My lord, this subordinate is very strange. Since you can see that Emperor Tuoba is about to be defeated, why can't you see this? In the next three months, Emperor Tuoba will make a final desperate resistance around Luojing.  The Murong family's army will also try its best to strangle them, and neither family will have time to spare. This means that during this period, the vast Central Plains area from Shuozhou to Xiangzhou is completely empty of troops.
