Liu Heng's reprimands, in the eyes of Zheng Zhilong, who had been in the army for a long time, still seemed sparse and ordinary. But all the generals' official training words have always used the past glory to motivate morale, he has seen too much, he has long been used to it, and naturally he can't empathize. But he heard some new ideas from these words, some words that seemed unusual, which made him raise his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes flashed slightly.

This made him gradually become a little interested, and he wanted to know what this general of the guard, who was not surprising in his impression, wanted to do?

Therefore, although this made him vaguely feel the aura of danger, he still did not stop it.

The soldiers shouted to their heart's content, and it took a while to calm down, and before they could feel ashamed, Liu Heng's voice had already sounded again, "Okay, very good, since everyone is here for fame, then I ...... I'm going to give you this chance. ”

After saying that, he glanced at the generals, and the deep meaning in his eyes made countless generals palpitate inexplicably, and he always felt as if something big was going to happen, and subconsciously stared at Zheng Zhilong. However, Zheng Zhilong, who they thought was the backbone of the heart, still smiled on his face and said nothing, as if he didn't notice anything.

"I will ask the court and the army on the right to expand the army. Liu Heng spoke calmly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, "At this juncture, this request should not be difficult to pass, so before the military order comes down, we can prepare for the expansion of the army in advance." ”

The campus of Nuo University became silent because of his words, and then there was an uproar.

Expansion?

Not to mention that the soldiers were stunned, countless generals were also stunned on the spot, and even Zheng Zhilong didn't expect Liu Heng to throw such a hand unreasonably.

However, in addition to the shock, many smart people have already woken up and have to admire Liu Heng's trick enough.

If it is another way, or a personnel transfer, or forcibly send troops to counterattack Beihu, or make things difficult for Zheng Zhilong, then the generals can find all kinds of reasons to stop his thoughts, or because of this, they may be disgusted, and may even cause a military disturbance, but it is to expand the army.

The idea is that he can make a decision, and he only mentions asking for his life in his own name, which makes others unable to put their beaks in their mouths. Moreover, as soon as this topic came out, it immediately won the hearts of the greatest people, and he will be supported by many soldiers, and anyone who dares to oppose it will become the enemy of the army, no matter who it is.

In the eyes of most soldiers, what does the expansion of the army mean?

Expanding the army means that you don't have to do anything, and you can get a good time to get an official and a knight. Because after the expansion of the army, at the moment when a large number of recruits are pouring in, they will naturally become veterans, and they have the obligation to shoulder the heavy responsibility of "bringing the old with the new".

Especially after General Wei Wei had just told their legendary story, which soldier would not dream of being able to achieve such a great feat, and the matter of becoming a military attache completely opened the door for them.

Just as Liu Heng asked before, they shouted from the heart, "Who didn't come to join the army for fame?"

Therefore, after Liu Heng released this hand, anyone who dared to raise objections was equivalent to wanting to cut off the most easily obtained fame of all soldiers, and ruining people's fame was like killing their parents, which became the most hated act, almost offending everyone, who dared to open this mouth?

Do you want to get mixed up in the army?

Thinking through this joint, countless generals and officials were suddenly moved, and deeply felt Liu Heng's power, and he was so amazing as soon as he made a move.

Moreover, the benefits of military expansion do not end there.

It is true that on the surface, everyone can benefit from it, and even the generals can expand the army and increase the number of soldiers and horses under them, which is simply very happy. But in reality, there are so many things that can be manipulated. Once it was decided to expand the army, all aspects of such major events required manpower, and the generals had to cooperate with Liu Heng and act according to his orders. With the appearance of General Wei Wei at this time, it is inevitable that they will be afraid that when everything settles, they have been squeezed out, how can they not be afraid?

This also easily achieved the purpose of adjusting personnel, even if everyone knows, they still can't find mistakes, and I don't know how much better than the direct way. By virtue of the major event of army expansion, General Wei Wei mastered the entire Wanyu Wei in the palm of his hand, like a chopping board of fish meat, and let it be slaughtered.

With just this hand, everyone thought that the dead end was completely revitalized, how can this not be admirable?

At this time, no matter what his previous impression of General Wei Wei was, he deeply understood Liu Heng's wrist.

Some generals were at a loss by Liu Heng, and could only look forward to Zheng Zhilong, who was the backbone of the main body, but they didn't expect that Zheng Zhilong hugged his fist at Liu Heng as a salute, "The general is wise!"

Is this a soft word?

The generals didn't know what Zheng Zhilong's plans were, but since he had expressed his position, they could only be as good as a stream, and then clasped their fists and said in unison: "The general is wise!"

Liu Heng raised his eyebrows, and then smiled: "All the soldiers are attentive. ”

Both sides were obviously just polite words, just like the generals didn't expect Liu Heng to come to such a hand, Liu Heng didn't expect Zheng Zhilong to be so easily subdued.

Did he directly admit defeat in a game, and then use his mind to expand the army later? Or did he not plan to turn his face during this time? Or was it like this on weekdays, which constantly paralyzed Liu Heng's impression of him, and gradually relaxed, so that he quietly grabbed power?

Liu Heng couldn't grasp Zheng Zhilong's mentality, so he naturally spoke of him a little higher, "He is indeed a person who should not be underestimated." ”

Knowing that he couldn't resist, he immediately chose to admit defeat, and this kind of attitude that he can afford to let go is the one who does great things.

But no matter what, as long as the expansion of the army begins, the original pool of stagnant water, even if it is completely stirred, Liu Heng's goal will be achieved.

The battle imagined by countless people did not happen, and the two sides looked harmonious, and in order to celebrate the upcoming expansion of the army, they discussed the details that needed to be prepared for the expansion of the army, and Liu Heng decided one by one and left.

On the way out, there was no reason, Liu Heng naturally couldn't put Niu Ziaxe and others under house arrest in disguise, and let them return to the army. Fortunately, thinking about making a move today, it should be able to take a deeper step to restore some mutual trust, as long as you can continue to do things, sooner or later you can re-encircle these people who can be encircled, and Liu Heng's future situation will be more lively.

Liu Heng is confident in this point, so he will not be in a hurry, so he simply makes a generous gesture, and first orders Niu Ziaxe and others to stay in the army to prepare for the expansion of the army.

In this line, only Liu Heng led the two living langs and the rest of the entourage back to the mansion.

"The Ministry of War will never allow a petition for self-expansion. Even he didn't know what kind of mentality he was holding, Liu Heng couldn't help but spread his voice.

"Who said I was going to ask the military department for my life?" Liu Heng asked without answering.

This made Liu Heng stunned, and then his face showed a look of horror, "You, how dare you expand the army without permission?"

didn't ask the military department for orders at all, but he had already asked the army to prepare for the expansion of the army, so how could Liu Heng still not understand Liu Heng's plan. This is to completely ignore the military department and the imperial court, and make the expansion of the army a fact by himself, Liu Heng could never have imagined that Liu Heng would be so bold!

This is definitely not a trivial matter, as long as it is raised, it may be condemned as a major crime of rebellion, and it will be punished by the Nine Clans!

"Don't always take things too seriously, it's good to be cautious, but sometimes being cautious means sticking to the rules, so don't think about getting anything done. Liu Heng still did not hesitate to teach Liu Heng, and patiently explained: "For example, in this case, the battle between the princes is imminent, and many princes and grandsons have gained great autonomy, including recruiting troops on their own, in this situation, who cares if we follow the trend or not?"

Liu Heng just lacks experience, his experience and mind have not grown better, but he is not stupid and has always been smart. After thinking about it slightly, he had already figured out what Liu Heng had to do, and his pupils shrank sharply, "Fishing in troubled waters?"

Liu Heng obviously wanted to take advantage of the chaotic situation of the dispute between the princes to secretly follow the expansion of the army, even if it was detected by the imperial court or the military department, it was possible to think that they had secretly served a certain prince and grandson, and they were secretly arranged, maybe they would choose to turn a blind eye.

This is a good plan and a success, but there are too many uncertain risks.

"If you want to succeed, there is no foolproof possibility, you need to take risks, as long as the benefits of success are large enough, you can give it a go. Liu Heng said with a smile.

"Do you only think about success, don't you think about failure?" Liu Heng said sharply: "This is the crime of rebellion! We will all be killed by you!"

"Rebellion?"

Liu Heng shook his head and smiled, and said meaningfully: "That is a big crime of the Nine Clans, and it is impossible for it to fall on my head." ”

"How dare you have such delusions?" Liu Heng said angrily: "How is it impossible?"

"There is no impermeable wall in this world, even if we concealed it well before, the Liu family has been so enthusiastic about the Ten Days City recently, and people with a heart can always associate our identity. Thinking about it, in the court and the big shots, this is already a matter of knowing it, but it has not been explained for various reasons. Liu Heng said indifferently: "No matter what relationship we have with the Liu family, in the eyes of outsiders, we are still a family, so ...... Where did the great crime of treason come from?"

Liu Heng was dumbfounded.

If Liu Heng is not wrong, then as he said, there is no need to worry about any crime of rebellion.

First, the Liu family is still a member of the royal family, and I heard that Liu Heng's amazing and talented eldest brother will also participate in the battle for the crown prince. Then in the eyes of the imperial court and the big shots, the Ten Days City belongs to the power of the Liu family, and it is reasonable to expand the army. Second, even if this is not the case, the Liu family will never let Liu Heng be charged with the crime of rebellion, otherwise who will punish the Nine Clans?

Thinking about it like this, Liu Heng was stunned and found that there was really nothing to worry about.

Am I really inferior to him?

What Liu Heng could think of, the means he could use, but he couldn't think of it, let alone dare to do it, the gap during this period actually made Liu Heng really feel a sense of frustration, which made him lose his soul. It's just that soon, he thought of a reason again, "No, it's not that I'm inferior to him, it's a natural gap." All this is just because I was born as a village boy and a stand-in, and he was born as the son of the illustrious Liu family, no matter how willful he is, he has too many advantages over me, and I can't do what he can do. ”

For example, in this matter, why did Liu Heng act so boldly, in other words, if he dared to do the same thing, he was immediately raised and beheaded for plotting rebellion!

But he forgot that the identity he occupied was Liu Heng, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was the son of the illustrious Liu family he was jealous of, not Liu Heng, a village husband. So what Liu Heng can do now, he can also do, and there won't be much difference.

It's just that at this moment, Liu Heng will never admit this, how can he think that he is inferior to others? He is not as good as anyone, but he can't be inferior to this person!

After Liu Heng finished speaking, he saw that Liu Heng's expression had been changing, so he didn't say more, and closed his eyes and pondered. It's easy to say, but he also knows that the expansion of the army is not a trivial matter, and there are too many things that need to be considered clearly.

As soon as the chariot turned the corner and entered the street where the powerful and powerful had gathered, two men dressed as subordinates were waiting on the side of the street, and when they saw the chariot hurrying over.

"General Weiwei, my master has a banquet and respectfully invites the general. ”

Before coming to the car, the two of them saluted deeply, and one of them presented an invitation with both hands while talking, Liu Heng spread it out and saw that it was written by Qu Cifang himself.

Liu Heng always thought that there would be a reaction, Zheng Zhilong was temporarily dormant, and Qu Cifang came forward.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Heng said: "Turn around and go to Quzhi County's house." ”

Deacon Jiang didn't ask much, he immediately gave the order, and soon the group crossed the general's mansion without entering, and headed towards Qu Cifang's house.

Qu Cifang's house is placed behind the county office, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the backyard of the county government. Because this house was built with the county government, it was newly built after Liu Heng left and Qu Cifang came, and it did not occupy a large area, and it was not expanded later, so it can be seen that Qu Cifang is also not a person who cares about mundane things.

Before Liu Heng came, a subordinate had already taken the lead to convey the news, so when Liu Heng arrived, he saw Qu Cifang in regular clothes in front of the Qu Mansion.

"Quzhi County. ”

"General Kim. ”

Liu Heng got off the chariot and greeted Qu Cifang with each other, one hugged his fists, and the other made a gesture, taking the opportunity Liu Heng couldn't help but look at Qu Cifang carefully. It's been two years since the two last met, and they haven't seen each other for more than two years, Qu Cifang's appearance hasn't changed much, especially the pair of sword-like flat eyebrows impressed Liu Heng, and his temperament has become more and more peaceful and calm, faintly revealing a feeling of warmth like jade.

"As soon as I got out of the office, I heard that the general was going back to the house, so I prepared a little thin wine, and cheekily asked the general to accompany me for a few drinks. Qu Cifang said that the affinity was not disgusting, and at the same time invited Liu Heng to enter the house.

Liu Heng said with a smile: "That's a good dare, I haven't talked to the magistrate for a few days, I should have come to invite the magistrate, but now I asked the magistrate to invite me, which is what makes me ashamed." ”

The two of them are ordinary, but in fact, there are some things that have been silently clashing.

Qu Cifang was straight to the point, and told Liu Heng directly, I know what you did in the camp. Liu Heng is saying, according to reason, I am above you, only I invite you at home, how can there be a reason for you to invite me at home?

The edges on both sides are obviously not in one place, and each has a branch.

Qu Cifang squinted slightly, but still smiled and accompanied Liu Heng to continue to the house.
