Sixty-eight, there is advance but no retreat
"People don't necessarily remember your friendship with your classmates!"
Xue Pan said categorically, "This is the truth of becoming a king and defeating a king, Brother Jin Shicai I didn't say something, and I can't say it in front of everyone, we have been friends for a long time, we are first-class iron buddies, and it doesn't hurt if I talk to you about some things." ”
"The two classes of Xian'an Palace official school have always seen it very clearly, the winner leaps into the dragon, and the loser is unknown, which is nothing, but this time, if it is mixed with a battle about the storage position, I am afraid that if we have the intention of retreating, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Xue Pan has been worrying about this problem these days, Su Rili, if it is not an important issue, it is okay to take a step back and open the sky, Xue Pan is not competitive in everything, but he has figured out one thing, and he understands that this big competition is not a fun routine!
There are several princes in class A who are ready to plot the great treasure and succeed to the throne, which is something that everyone in the world knows but does not say, before Xue Pan thought that it was just a time for a small fight, but at this time, after getting the news, he thought hard for a long time in the quiet room, and knew that this time, he was afraid that there was no retreat, and he would be crushed if he took a step back.
If they want to accomplish the great cause of capturing Madrid Sihan this time, and gain higher prestige and better influence for their prince competition, they must win the big competition, which is not incompatible with the ordinary position of Class B. Xue Pan is familiar with history books, if the people in Class A make a move to "take the outside and settle the inside" first, and turn the arrow towards the people in Class B to suppress and annex first, it is not impossible. After all, this praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches are behind, and not everyone is happy to see it.
"Unless we just don't go out of the customs, just wait for death to admit defeat, if we go out of the customs but still have a fluke in our hearts, and think that we are thinking about the demeanor of some friendly soldiers on the battlefield, then we are afraid that we don't know when we will die, but the eldest grandson Wenlin has seen it? He was jealous of the military exploits of the Red River Jie Du envoy and refused to save him, which caused the Red River Jie Du envoy to die on the battlefield. If Brother Jin has such a mind, we don't need to compare, and it is only right to drink and have fun in Chengdu Mansion directly. ”
"Naturally," Jin Ning said firmly, "For the glory of my father and the reputation of our Class B, we can't be so defeated without a fight, surrender and admit defeat!" ”
"Then we must be vigilant," Xue Pan shook his head, "You think that when we arrive in Tianzhu, the British will not give up first, let us arrest his own people, you must know that this Shangri-La country rebelled, and the British made great efforts, and it would not be so simple for us to arrest people; I heard that most of the local princes and nobles in Tianzhu were bought by the British, but I am afraid that they will not do anything against us, and secretly make stumbling blocks, and take advantage of our unsatisfactory time to rob while the fire is burning, which is inevitable; Madrid Sihan is not an unknown person, he has many followers in the country of incense, and if these people do any assassination or assassination, we will not be able to prevent it; In addition to these foreign enemies, there are also people in Class A, who are more anxious than us to win the big competition, although I am driven to the shelves, but I am not willing to give up so easily, Brother Jin, anyone can rest and relax their vigilance at any time, but the three thousand people you bring are not allowed to rest for a moment, so they forget to be vigilant! ”
"Class leader," Jin Ning heard Xue Pan's analysis like this, only then did he know that this trip must not be a fun autumn outing, he nodded solemnly, "As long as Jin still has a breath of air, I will not allow these people to be presumptuous here in our class B!" ”
So all the way to Pujia Pass, although the road is hard, but Xue Pan is not in a hurry, every day to go to the army, sunset rest, step by step for the camp not to seek merit but to seek no fault, and ask Jin Ning to be familiar with the process of message transmission and espionage in these days, "Now that I am still in the country, everything is going well, if I don't take advantage of this time to practice the formation, when will it be?" ”
Although Xue Pan doesn't care about everything now, he has to interject in everything, and what he interjects and asks is some insight, which is a loophole that everyone has not found, so after a long time, Rao is Li Shaopu and others have always been unconvinced by Xue Pan, and after working together several times, they are really convinced of Xue Pan's talent.
These 3,000 people and horses can be said to be smooth all the way on the road in Shuzhong, and because it is the army out of the horse, the idle tariffs and other officials do not dare to easily harass the merchants who accompany the army, but let the accompanying merchants make a lot of money, Xue Pan is not polite, in addition to the silver to be collected at ordinary times, he also ordered each team to carry ten carts of forage and grain and other things, buy them anywhere, as military supplies, grain and grass and other things are just transportation troubles, in fact, the cost is not too high, these people get cheap, it is nothing more than to call a few more coachmen to do coolies, It's not an unacceptable thing, and with Xue Pan and others, there is less harassment from bandits and robbers on the road, and they won't be exploited by local officials, and they still make money, but it's a win-win situation. There are not too many people on business trips, but there are more or less hundreds of people, and these people occasionally come to have a relationship with Xue Panpan, and Xue Pan is also very kind, and they all sent them away.
On this day, a businessman from Wuxi came to visit, saying that he was doing a lacquerware business, selling some lacquerware to Gurkha to sell, for the sake of the villagers, Xue Pan also saw it, and occasionally communicated with people to talk maybe it would help the future situation, he sent a lotus lacquer pearl ten treasures embellished brocade food box to Xue Pan, which was full of all kinds of gems and other things, the total price was only afraid of thousands of gold, Xue Pan was unwilling to receive, "You come to take my convoy, this silver has been paid, how can you still give such a big gift?" I can't bear this for no reason, please take it back. ”
"My lord doesn't have to see outside," the merchant surnamed Luo said with a smile, "The gems and jade and other things here are common in the southwest, not to mention going to Tianzhu, it is by no means a rare object, I can't find the native products of our south in this poor country, I can only send these things, my lord doesn't have to see outside." ”
Xue Pan then asked about many of the scenery of Tianzhu, the merchant surnamed Luo knew everything, and said for a long time, Xue Pan asked Li Man to listen, the land of Tianzhu is rich in gemstones, and the emeralds produced are more transparent and brighter than the jadeite in Myanmar, but the people of Tianzhu still like gold and silver, but they don't see how valuable these gems are.
After chatting like this for a while, the businessman surnamed Luo said goodbye and left, Xue Pan ordered Li Man to send it off, and when he got outside, the businessman surnamed Luo smiled and said, "If I can follow Lord Xue earlier, I don't have to invite the guards of the rivers and lakes." ”
