After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

Compared with ancient horse-mounted wars with cold weapons, they relied on the generals' martial arts to determine victory or defeat.

He also wanted to master this skill, and Coach Geng seriously taught him some offensive essentials.Although he didn't learn it instantly like he was learning to practice swordsmanship, he understood it very quickly.

After a whole morning, even though the weather was cold, his body was steaming with heat, and even the clothes he wore underneath were soaked through.

Jiang Rong looked at his grandson and understood these skills very quickly, with a proud smile on his face from time to time.

In the afternoon, the old Marquis Jiang Rong took him around the military fortifications along the border again.

Jiang Chen pointed to the Beiguo Camp in the distance and said to his grandfather:

"Grandpa, if the North suddenly starts a war, what will be our response strategy?"

Seeing him suddenly asking this question, Jiang Rong said to him:

"If they really want to provoke a war, we will have no choice but to use soldiers to cover up the water and the soil. Look over there, our only barrier against the Northern Kingdom is the city behind us. When the time comes, we will build high fortifications to guard it. City, don't let their iron hooves step into our Xuanwu Dynasty. Since ancient times, we have relied on our iron-clad soldiers to defend our country. So once the war begins, we don't know how many casualties the city defenders will have. A soldier."

Jiang Chen knew that ancient wars were fought one battle at a time.Like the nomadic peoples in the north, they are all fierce people who shoot and ride horses.

Every time they invaded in history, they would bring devastating blows.

He had a hunch in his heart that with Yeluhan's character, there would be a war between the two countries sooner or later, but the time was beyond his control.

But in today's Xuanwu Dynasty, the government is in chaos, and Hu Gao, who is in power, only knows how to seek personal gain for himself.

Hu Gao spent all his energy on internal friction.His most important thing now is to rack his brains and spare no effort to attack the prince so that King Wei can ascend to the throne.

In this power struggle, he is more energetic than anyone else.

He worriedly said to his grandfather:

"Grandpa, if war really comes, are you fully prepared for war?"

Jiang Rong looked at his grandson and said:

"Some time ago, I wrote to the imperial court and explained the situation here to the imperial court. I hope that the imperial court will get more war-prepared materials to prepare for emergencies. But the imperial court has not taken any action yet and has paid more attention to the Northern Kingdom. Once these ruthless warriors really attack, the defense of a city alone cannot last long. So I am also very worried about this matter."

Jiang Chen said to his grandfather:

"If the imperial court does not allocate military funds to you, the army's combat effectiveness will not be enhanced. Some of the defensive fortifications that need to be built will not be guaranteed. Grandpa will still try to urge the imperial court so that they will pay attention to this matter."

Jiang Rong sighed and said to him:

"Jiang Chen, you don't know that the imperial court will always be like this. As long as the fire does not burn their butts, they will never spend an extra penny of military pay to deal with these things that may happen at any time. Take the soldiers this year. The military pay has not been fully paid until now. In this situation, how to mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers. We cannot let them starve while fighting on the battlefield. "

Jiang Chen recalled the war that his grandfather went through. Not only did Liu Gu, who was sent by Hu Gao, but also Litong Xiliang accidentally fall into their ambush.After finally escaping with his troops, Liu Gu shot the soldiers to death in the name of treason.In the end, not only was he accused of treason, but he also cost the lives of a hundred members of his family.

As long as Hu Gao is in charge of the government, this kind of outcome will be used on Grandpa and the others again sooner or later.

The only way to prevent something like this from happening is to bring down the powerful Hu Gao as soon as possible. Not only will grandpa's grievances be avenged, but a similar situation will also be avoided here.

He turned to his grandfather and said:

"Grandpa, do you have your own thoughts on the current government affairs?"

Jiang Rong sighed and said to Jiang Chen:

"Do you know why grandpa hasn't returned to the capital after so many years? Hu Gao has written many times, hoping that I would stand on his side and write to the emperor, saying that the prince colluded with his relatives and tried to usurp power. But I rejected them all. I also wrote to Li Chenglong I wrote to him to remind him, but he didn't expect to escape their frame in the end and ended up with such a tragic end. Now he is trying every means to destroy the prince. At the beginning of the year, there was a letter from home saying that Li The concubine has fallen in love with your sister and has gone to the Marquis Mansion to propose marriage to the King of Wei. Your grandmother and Liu Ruyi would not dare to decide on the marriage without my consent. The matter has been delayed until now, and I have not given it to him. Reply. My meaning and attitude have been very obvious, that is, I do not agree to this marriage. Once I agree to this marriage, I will only be coerced by them in the future, collude with them, and do things that go against my conscience."

Jiang Chen didn't expect such a thing to happen, so he said to his grandfather:

"Thank you, grandpa, for your perseverance. You must not collude with Hu Gao and others. Since ancient times, such treacherous and powerful officials will not end well in the end. Otherwise, it will not only harm your family, but also destroy you." It will ruin your reputation for life."
