In any scene, there will always be protagonists and supporting roles, and there must also be harlequins, danjiao, martial arts and old students. Otherwise, that scene is boring, boring, and destined to have few audiences.

In this wonderful drama planned by Liu Xing, King Xin, the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty, is naturally the absolute protagonist, the protagonist of both civil and military. The Jurchens were defined by Liu Xing as the anti-No. 1.

As for how the anti-No. 1 will behave, Xie Nu is only the first person to sound the opening gong, followed by the entire Jin Kingdom must act out the plot according to the established script.

And what role the Western Xia, Southern Dynasties, and Mongolia will play in this scene that will be an important blow to the Heavenly Principle and the Heavenly Dao, Ma Kuo doesn't know and can't guess. The only one who really knows the details inside and is still perfecting the plot is Liu Xing.

I don't know, but I still want to ask.

After Ma Kuo finished Liu Xing's words, he frowned and thought for a moment, and asked: "Taifu, it should be easy for the party members to go to the hometown of Yanmen, but there have been melee and infighting on the Mongolian grassland over the years, are you sure you can let them join in this big scene?" They joined, and what do you want the Mongols to do? ”

"That's the main reason I'm going to let you go to Mongolia next."

Ma Kuo asked, and Liu Xing immediately smiled faintly: "The Mongolians have been beef and mutton all year round, and they have always coveted the grain, silk, porcelain and other things in my Central Plains. But now, the golden dog is in the middle of Mongolia and our dynasty, making it a luxury for the Mongols to get those things. Even if you get it, it can only be after a layer of exploitation from the golden dog. ”

That's it. There was more coldness in the smirk.

After a short pause. Liu Xing continued: "So you have to send people to Mongolia. Tell them that the Mongols should not be wantonly bullied by the Jurchens who are not more populous than them and whose combat strength is not stronger than them, and they should not always let the survival and development of the nation be choked by other ethnic groups. ”

After another pause, Liu Xing took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Ma Kuo.

When Ma Kuo took it over, opened it and began to look at it, Liu Xing continued: "If you condemn others, you must mainly do three things. The first trick was to persuade all the Mongol tribes to come to Yanmen's hometown to participate in the Yanchang trade. The second is to help the most powerful tribe in Mongolia today. Completely end the strife on the grassland and make it a complete and united grassland nation again. The last act was to persuade the Mongol ministries to rise up and swear to join our dynasty in destroying gold as the only ambition of the nation. ”

Convincing the Mongol tribes to participate in the battle, Ma Kuo knew that as long as the Mongols were really involved, with Liu Xing's resourcefulness, he could devise countless strategies at any time to create a "pit" between the Mongols and the Jin people that could lead to a direct all-out war between the two tribes.

Of course, the word "pit" that Ma Kuo can think of is also a fresh word from Liu Xingzhi's mouth.

The same new word was directly used by Liu Xing in the next two acts against the Mongols.

Ending the strife on the Mongolian steppe will inevitably kill many weak tribes, and it will only be a large tribe that will unify the Mongolian steppe in the end.

And once that large tribe completes the complete unification of the Mongolian steppe. The blood flowing in the process of unification will inevitably leave the steppe after the unification of that tribe with only a desolation and sparse people.

Liu Xing said that he was supporting a certain large tribe to unify, but in fact, he was "pitting" the Mongols. Demagoguery and instigation of the Mongols to fight. This is the "pit" in Liu Xing's second hook.

As for the last step, Ma Kuo can actually figure out where Liu Xing's "pit" is hidden: he vows to work with the Great Song Dynasty to destroy Jin as the only ambition of the nation, and with Liu Xing's consistent style, as long as the Mongolian thinking is really pulled into this big pit, then the entire Mongolian nation will become a plaything in Liu Xing's hands......

Knowing Liu Xing's true colors, Ma Kuo didn't think much about it anymore.

After he pondered for a while, Ma Kuo raised his head and said to Liu Xing: "If you follow what Taifu said, I will sponsor the two of you." With Yu Zhangluo from Yan to Mongolia, with Wuyuan Zhu Song to make Western Xia. Both of them are famous Confucians in my Song Dynasty, and they are resourceful, good at observing words and feelings, and mastering subtle strategies. With this two envoys, Taifu's plan will be successfully completed. ”

"Luo Congyan, Zhu Song?" Hearing these two names, Liu Xing suddenly had a smile on his face.

This time the smile was very bright, Liu Xing said with a smile: "Don't you say, how can I forget Mr. Luo, who was burned by me in Songshan Academy that day, and how can I forget Mr. Zhu, who was pricked by me for three days!" ”

"Taifu, you were in Songshan Academy, and you were trained by two gentlemen?" Ma Kuo didn't know what great Confucian celebrities Liu Xing had met when he was in Songshan Academy, so he stared at Liu Xing in surprise after hearing Liu Xing's words.

Looking at him sideways, Liu Xing still smiled brightly: "Yes, yes!" When I was thirteen years old, Mr. Luo studied and taught at Songshan Academy for two years. In those two years, he was tricked by me a lot. Zhu Song was his disciple, right, and he also entered the Songshan Academy with him at that time. Haha, the master and apprentice are good at arguing, but they are often speechless by me. However, with their eloquence, talent and resourcefulness, they are really the best candidates to envoy to Western Xia and Mongolia this time! But I just don't know, where are these two gentlemen of mine now? ”

After listening to Liu Xing's words, Ma Kuo leaned back on the chair and suddenly realized: "It turns out that Taifu is actually a student of the two gentlemen, which really made me unexpected, unexpected!" If it weren't for Taifu himself telling how you, a student, had disrespected the teacher that day, I'm afraid no one would believe that what you said was true! ”

What does Ma Kuo mean by that? It's saying, "Oh, you're their student, but you don't look like two famous students."

Because you are too evil, too crazy, too vicious, too vicious. If you hadn't said it yourself, if you were so disrespectful to the teacher that day, I'm afraid no one would believe that the two famous Confucians would teach such an evil man, an invincible "evil son......

For Ma Kuo's words, Liu Xing didn't care at all.

What if I'm evil or I'm crazy? Without this evil and this madness, the master would not be able to go today. What if I'm vicious and I'm ruthless? In this era when people eat people and human lives are as cheap as grass, I am not vicious and die early, and I am not ruthless, how can I come to this Northern Dynasty that believes in the king.

Because he didn't care, when Ma Kuo was stunned, Liu Xing said, "Tell me quickly, where are the two gentlemen now?" ”

Ma Kuo retracted his mind when he was questioned, stood up again and said to Liu Xing: "Mrs. Yu, Mr. Luo is currently the Yamen Counselor of the Shanxi Governor, and Mr. Zhu is the current Cao, the Yamen Counselor of the Henan Governor. Due to the initial establishment of the two provinces, the governor has not yet arrived, and in fact, the two are in charge of the affairs of the two provinces. ”

Counselor Cao, chief of staff of the governor yamen in Liu Xingxinfa.

After hearing that the two of them were in such positions, Liu Xing's face darkened.

Staring at Ma Kuo, Liu Xing immediately said, "What are you doing?" In this way, the two famous Confucians at that time could only be counselors Cao. Don't they have fame? Don't they have the talent to learn? Or did they have corrupt things in the previous dynasty and had bad deeds? Why, why is it just Counselor Cao? ”

"This, this ......" Ma Kuo was questioned by Liu Xing a series of questions, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

On the contrary, Hui, who had been sitting next to him for a long time and had not spoken, suddenly opened his mouth when he saw this situation.

He smiled coldly and said wisely: "I'm afraid it's no wonder that Governor Ma is afraid of this matter, because he can't confront Zong Shuai and Zhang Shuai. I still remember that day I was kneeling in front of the window and heard Zong Tai Shi and Zhang Tai Bao talk about you two gentlemen. Mr. Luo in the mouth of the Sect Master is a hypocrite who plays with the mysteries and the sacred science, and Mr. Zhu in the mouth of Zhang Taibao is a sanctimonious villain. ”

After saying these words, Liu Xing suddenly understood that it was the two old marshals who had not fully become their puppets some time ago, and prevented Ma Kuo's decision to let the two great Confucians of the world be high-ranking officials.

Wenchen and military generals, peace is the prosperity of the country, and discord will inevitably make the country turbulent. The story of harmony has been passed down through the ages, and it is a realistic portrayal of Wenchen and military generals and boats working together. There are countless things that have led to the demise of the country due to discord throughout the ages.

In the entire Great Song Dynasty, the literati suppressed the military generals for too long, and since Zhao Kuangyin usurped the Chai family, the military generals have always been suppressed by the literati.

Zhang Suo and Zong Ze, although they are both literati, are not real military generals. But they have been in the military for a long time, and they have been deeply immersed in the spirit of military generals in their bones.

In addition, they themselves are also from Confucian backgrounds, once they encounter the combination of the nature of those famous Confucians and literati and the rebellious character of military generals, they will naturally regard those great Confucian celebrities as a thorn in their side.

Since they have become a thorn in the side of the two, how can the two old marshals be willing to let Ma Kuo give the post of governor of the two provinces to the two gentlemen?

If this is changed to Liu Xing, the person who becomes the thorn in his side will be under his hands, I am afraid that he has already been "pitted to death" by Liu Xing and does not know how to die......

can understand this deep-rooted contradiction between the civil minister and the military general, and after he suddenly equalized the civil and military forces, he made the two old marshals who seemed to be loyal to the country do such a thing, Liu Xing could only smile bitterly.

After smiling bitterly, Liu Xing's face sank, and he said: "I immediately sent an edict to appoint Luo Congyan as a counselor of the Privy Council and concurrently as the governor of Shanxi, and he will be sent to Mongolia with this position on the same day." Zhu Song was promoted to the rank of privy councillor and concurrently appointed governor of Henan, and on the same day he sent an envoy to Western Xia with this position. ”

The two old men did something wrong, and Liu Xing couldn't blame it, after all, the second old man was still indispensable to himself and the court. Therefore, Liu Xing, who was helpless, could only immediately issue an order and use a decree officially from himself to "open the ass" to the two old marshals. (To be continued......)
