Without much to say, Wang Hongyi went to the Marshal's Mansion.

When he got inside, an attendant knelt down the steps, bowed down and kowtowed, Wang Hongyi nodded and entered.

At this time, I saw that in the study, it was becoming more and more quiet and elegant, Wang Zunzhi was sitting on the table and chair in front of the window, holding a book in his hand and looking at himself.

Wang Hongyi stepped forward and saluted: "Father!"

Wang Zunzhi said with a smile: "You are here, come, come and sit down and talk." ”

As soon as he sat down, before he could speak, he saw a maid come in with tea and a small cup of jasper, and poured it up.

Wang Hongyi was about to drink it, when he heard Wang Zunzhi smile, waved his hand to stop, and said: "This tea is only suitable for half temperature, and it tastes good when you taste it little by little." ”

Wang Hongyi smiled, calmed down, waited for a while, and began to taste tea.

After the tea was drunk, Wang Zunzhi said, "Wu'er, what's the matter?"

"News came from Taisu County, Liu Chaoyi personally led 5,000 troops to attack Taisu County, and the county ordered Li Cunyi to immediately order Lu Zhongcheng and Qian Xin, the lieutenants of Xuanwu in Yanshan, to listen to the order, and Lu Zhongcheng and Qian Xin had already listened to the order. Li Zhixian also took advantage of the urgency of the military situation and conscripted 500 soldiers, which were taken by his son Li Jiye. Wang Zunzhi will not know this information, but Wang Hongyi just wants to tell it as soon as possible.

This is the way of father and son.

"What is your idea?" Wang Zunzhi listened, took the cup in one hand, got up and paced, looked at the splendid autumn garden outside the window, and said.

"The son thinks that my father is not in good health, and I am the new Shaozhen, so I can't go on an expedition, but the monarch has a way, and not rescuing is not the way of the lord, especially when I have spare time, I want to order He Sheng, Chai Jia, and He Zhong to bring 500 soldiers to support Taisu County, and bring 5,000 stone of grain. ”

"There are 2,000 soldiers, and there is food, the county is strong, enough to resist it, just wait for the time to grow, naturally withdraw the army, Li Zhixian is loyal and diligent, and there will be good news - please ask my father to adjudicate!"

Wang Zunzhi's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, coughed twice, and said, "The cooler this tea is, the more fragrant it is!"

After saying that, he drank it, coughed a few times, and stared at Wang Hongyi: "I made you the heir, your identity is above the ministers and generals, and the body of the father is gradually failing, even if this will suddenly fall ill and go away, it is also a common thing, you are the heir, I ask you, after I go, how will you govern and expand, this matter of the Li family, what do you think from your heart?"

Wang Hongyi was stunned, and immediately understood that Wang Zunzhi had already seen that he was faintly hostile to the Li family, and when he asked at this time, his father also assessed himself.

Wang Hongyi was startled again, and suddenly remembered something.

In my previous life, I saw a book with a sentence in it: "I don't shy away from the common sense of death and life, only power cannot be left behind." I am the only one who receives the power, and the other can take it."

This is also a matter between father and son.

In the past two months, he has continued to master the righteous army and the black-clothed guard, although he has obtained Wang Zunzhi's permission, but as the embodiment of the will to power, Wang Zunzhi naturally has a feeling of being evacuated, which is instinctive, and it has nothing to do with father's love.

No matter how much reason and emotion love Wang Hongyi, this instinct will play a tenacious role, thinking of this, he sweated densely behind his back, couldn't sit still anymore, hurriedly stood up, and said: "The son didn't think about this, the father is still in his prime, and the son doesn't dare to think about it." ”

At this time, Wang Zunzhi coughed a few times, and for some reason, a kind of tiredness came up, which made him instinctively a little angry, and he was immediately dispelled, and he said: "Don't be nervous, you are the son of man, of course you shouldn't think about this, I can't think about this...... Say, what do you think, being a father can not only serve you, but also pave the way for you, you and I are father and son, there is no need to lie at this time. ”

Wang Hongyi sighed in his heart, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this sentence is good, this mastery and inheritance is Wang Zunzhi's wish, but if it is really so, there will be loss and even dissatisfaction.

However, Wang Zunzhi has no other sons except himself, and his health is poor, at most he is angry, and he really wants to shake his roots, absolutely not.

After thinking about it, he said: "Father, I have a few thoughts, and I ask my father for guidance." ”

"Well, you say!" Wang Zunzhi was also very surprised by his inexplicable anger just now, and said warmly.

"First of all, last time I captured 500 people in Sichuan, although after reorganization and training, but it is still difficult to go to the old roots, habits are difficult to change, my son's mind, is to go to the defensive war, one is to break with Liuzhen, the other is to pan for gold in the sand, after the war, I will be in the name of meritorious service, promote and re-give the military horn banner. ”

"He Sheng, Chai Jia, and He Zhong, although they were reused by their sons, and now they are all generals of the first battalion, but they are not qualified. ”

"Your mind is also normal, what else?"

"Father, my son is not taboo, I do have a fear of the Li family - Father Shuai, can I hear that the dragon is born in Shu, and the eighteenth son should be happy?"

The eighteenth son, that is, Li, Wang Zunzhi only understood what Wang Hongyi meant at this time, and a chill surged in his heart, his face became a little pale, his eyebrows were tightly locked, he turned a few times, and scolded: "The government is in the country and the army, how can you worry about this nonsense and suspect the truth of the important ministers?"

"Father, of course this is a lie, but the people and soldiers are often confused, when the time comes, if someone surnamed Li uses this statement to plot, how is it good?"

"Then what do you mean by eradicating the Li family?" Wang Zunzhi asked with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Of course not, this is not the master's instrument, the son is still the previous meaning, there are 2,000 soldiers, and there is food, the county is strong, enough to resist it, just wait for the time to grow, naturally retreat, Li Zhixian is loyal and diligent, there will be good news - this is not a knife to kill!"

Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi stepped forward, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "My son doesn't want to borrow a knife to kill people!"

These words were awe-inspiring and crisp, which showed sincerity, Wang Zunzhi's eyebrows stretched out, and said: "My son, get up quickly, your father knows your thoughts-you can tell your father more carefully." ”

"Yes, father, my son doesn't want to suspect the important ministers out of thin air, and I don't want the eighteen sons to be prosperous one day, so that my Wang family's foundation will be subverted, and the son's mind only thinks about the mean!"

"The mean, it's a little interesting, what kind of mean do you say?" Wang Zunzhi asked.

"We have already won the big festival when we send troops and food, and there is no gossip inside and outside the town, and we can't say that the courtiers are in trouble, and the lord must send troops to the army to be considered a good way, especially now that we are in this situation. Wang Hongyi was in his heart and decided to say all his thoughts.

This is also the determination that after weighing, relying on only his own son and Wang Zunzhi's poor health, he made up his mind.

"Since the soldiers and food are enough, there is no reason to be attacked, and the first is in the Ming Dynasty, and only then can the real weapon of the Li family be seen......"

Moreover, the Li family's furniture is too heavy, and his son also wants to take the opportunity to grind it, which is also the intention of future preservation. ”

To put it bluntly, I just want to find out the foundation of the Li family, and take the opportunity to consume the strength of the Li family, but with the previous dispatch of military rations and the status of the lord, this is why no one can say bad things.

Regardless of victory or defeat, there is no loss of morality on the part of the sovereign, and it can also be said that the consumption of the Li family's strength is good at protecting the righteousness of the courtiers.

When Wang Zunzhi heard this, he already felt that his son was deep and heavy, and he had a little sincerity, but he listened to his son say: "This is just a small way. ”

"My son reads the art of war and knows that the use of soldiers lies in strength and weakness, and strength and weakness are in comfort and exhaustion. ”

"Liu Chaoyi ascended the throne at the beginning, the generals were not convinced, this is a decline, Taisu County lost, so that its authority is even more degenerate, this is a second decline, and at that time could not come, now come, Taisu County has been consolidated, this is three declines. ”

"However, there are three decays, but they are not defeated, the Li family guards Taisu County, and the city rejects it, Liuzhen has these three decays, centrifugal up and down, not durable to attack, the longer the time, the more resentful the army!"

When Wang Zunzhi heard this, he already understood what his son wanted to say, his heart was pounding, and blood was pouring to his face, but he still listened.

"The Li family defends the city, only ten days old, its soldiers have the appearance of self-defeat, at this time, Taisu County, maybe you can go out of the city in one fell swoop to break the enemy, and the child will be ready to move, can not be by the big victory. ”

"With cutting-edge soldiers, travel in one fell swoop, the momentum is like thunder, and it must be broken!"

"Break Willow Town, descend to two counties, encircle the chief, summon the generals, at this time the general trend has gone, even if there are remnants of Liuzhen, there is no fighting spirit, or fight or surrender, you can enter the city. ”

"When the time comes, my town will have two mansions, most of which can become the rear, the abandoned counties can be rebuilt, the people can be cultivated and reproduced, and the military and civilians will also increase.

According to Wang Hongyi's meaning, it is indeed not a matter of killing people with a knife, on the contrary, it is part of a grand strategy, and even in the end, no one can suspect that it intentionally consumes the strength of the Li family -- the promotion from Yingzheng to Captain Wei Guoyi is a very important step in promotion, and it can only be said that it is a heavy reward and a heavy reward.

But as a result, in addition to obtaining the position of Captain Guoyi, the Li family actually consumed most of the private soldiers, and the gains outweighed the losses, so they had to have a period of time to replenish.

But once the two counties are obtained, the Li family adds one point, and the Wang family can be strengthened by ten points, and the later it comes, the more the gap is widened, and the more the waves are raised, this is indeed the way to protect the benevolence of the courtiers.

As far as the public is concerned, first he sent troops to send food, and then he was exhausted by Yiyi, and when outsiders heard it, they would only think that Wang Zunzhi or Wang Hongyi was wise and decisive.

Privately, it actually consumed the strength of the Li family, and used the Li family, and also gave generous gifts to gain a reputation for open-mindedness and generosity.

Afterwards, the two towns were obtained, and the top and bottom were concentric, and the Li family was even more unable to resist, this way of the monarch and the minister, the more he chewed, the more meaningful it became.

Got the realm of governing with moderation.

Even if the specific experience has not yet arrived, but it is indeed the true intention of the superior, as long as some specific experience and means are added in the future, this is the wise and powerful, strong and open-minded master.

Mean, as long as you cultivate to this level, you are already superb, turning clouds and rain, and raising your hand.

Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi said: "Please also ask my father to correct me." ”

Wang Zunzhi didn't answer, he looked at his son with an unusually bright gaze, and finally, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, and the arc became bigger and bigger, and finally, he laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha!"

"God bless my Wang family, God bless my Wang family, although my three sons died young, in exchange for my family's hidden dragon, it is worth it. Speaking of this, his voice couldn't help choking.
