Ganwu Palace

It has been five years since the establishment of the Xixia Army. At the beginning of its establishment, I, Xixia Erlang, and the Nanhui Dynasty fought for four years. However, a large area of ​​Nanhui's land was destroyed by artillery fire, and some Nanhui people moved to escape the war. In neighboring countries, the country's agriculture, animal husbandry, and commercial development have stagnated, and the economic losses have been heavy.However, Beixuan, who was next to Nanhui, took advantage of the fire and robbed her many times, taking advantage of it.I can't bear to see the people in Nanhui displaced, people's livelihood in decline, the entire national economy falling again and again, uncles and nephews leaning on the wall and the country is gone.However, Xixia and Nanhui said it was a personal grievance due to a dispute of loyalty, and Nanhui's world will eventually belong to our Helan family.Under the pressure of all parties, last year I signed an armistice agreement with Nanhui Nahun Lord. After a year of rest in Xixia, the economies of all parties began to develop and grow; the military and civil affairs are on the right track.Yuhong lived up to the entrustment and managed the Xixia in an orderly manner. From the perspective of the people's livelihood, it is a good scene of prosperity.Although I am familiar with the art of war and strategies, I can handle the enemy with ease on the battlefield; but I am not good at dealing with civil affairs; Having him in charge also made up for my shortcomings.

Minghui and I are brothers and sisters of the same mother. Although I treat her harshly, blood is thicker than water. Compared with other people's hypocrisy and ulterior motives, I am afraid that I am the only one in the world who treats her sincerely. A sincere person; and this girl did not know what kind of ecstasy drug she took, she went to Beixuan for five years, her brother and sister are separated by thousands of mountains, and she has very few letters to my family, and every word she writes is full of sour words , without the attitude that a younger sister should have; I said it was because of what happened back then, and I blamed me in my heart.But how could he explain all the complicated things to her clearly?For four of these five years, I have been fighting desperately on the battlefield, often on the front line of life and death, how can I spare my hand to care for her who is far away in Beixuan?I am afraid that I have more than enough heart and not enough strength.Now that the war has stopped for a while and the West Gorge is initially settled, I am relieved to have Yu Hong sitting in the rear, so I will write a letter to the king of Beixuan, bring a thousand guards, bring gold, silver and jewelry, Xixia beauty and other vulgar things to Nabeixuan A courtesy visit, here to see if an alliance can be reached and whether Xixia and Beixuan can communicate with each other.

It's golden autumn, but the weather in August is different from Beixuan, which is separated by Jiuyue Mountain from Nanhui.At this time, I am staying at Mangyi, where Beixuan receives foreign guests. In the courtyard of the inn, there is a silver fir tree of unknown age but full of vitality.The trunk is tall and straight, straight and beautiful, with lush branches and leaves.When the breeze hits, it can be seen that the silver light is shining and the posture is attractive.

Under the silver fir tree, a whole piece of blue and white jade was used to place a plate of fine white jade and ivory chess on a stone platform carved naturally.For a while, horses jumped soldiers, chariots attacked and bombarded, and the red and white sons fought fiercely like tigers and wolves.

"Wonderful! Three cups of wine for personnel, and a game of chess in fleeting years. Tsk tsk, the game of chess between General He Lan and the military division can be described as murderous, full of smoke." The spectator on the side - the third prince of Beixuan Chu Lengnian, for a long time Tongue-speaking and sighing, bosom agitated. "The chess field is like a battlefield. General He Lan must be careful. Master Ling's chess moves are turbulent. Don't be careless. You will lose everything!"

This Chu Lengnian is really clamoring. Before I get angry, I heard Ling Qianyue say: "Violent, bloodthirsty and brutal, most of the chess moves are based on one's will. The whole chess game has reached a stalemate. Hehe, Ling has worked so hard. , every step of the way, if you want to win this game, it will be a crippled victory. It's a pity..."

"It's a pity that the military master doesn't have the ruthlessness to give it a go, haha." Chu Lengnian's long and narrow Danfeng eyes hooked to the extreme, his thin red lips slightly raised, his smile was chilling, and he folded his hands on his chest and nodded towards me. He said Beixuan's etiquette, "Qianyue is a pedantic character, and his words are insignificant, the general should not care."

"I don't agree with what Lingjun said. Violence is not in my character. Bloodthirsty and brutality are also forced by the times. They all crawled out of the sea of ​​corpses and sat in my seat. You know that if I don't kill The enemy will be killed by the enemy. It is the benevolence of a woman to be soft-hearted and soft-hearted to the enemy. As the overlord of one party, if I do not use tough methods, how can I convince the people? If I am not cruel, how can I defend my home and country? But people are not born to like Ru Mao drank blood and slaughtered others; now the situation is full of conflicts, killings everywhere, people are displaced, and the world is not unified. We will be military advisers, generals, and lead the way, and strive for stability and prosperity for the people behind us. When the world is stable, maybe Helan can also Be a white-clothed gentleman wandering the rivers and lakes, a blue flute blows a pool of spring water, and a lone boat sails in the rivers and seas; "Really?He Lan, you have also changed unknowingly.Isn't killing what you've always used to vent?Isn't cruelty the factor that you burn in your blood?Tyrant is a picture of your life.Do you still feel that you can get out of the endless killing and intricate entanglement vortex?This is your sin, and you have to taste it all your life.

"When I am in a high position, of course I also have troubles that I cannot help myself; even wars have begun to be disgusting; the mountains and rivers in the world are beautiful and far away, attracting countless heroes from all over the world to bow down. But there are picturesque mountains and rivers, and you don't travel to appreciate them. , is just a prison bird imprisoned in the imperial city; the talent and heart are like those of a general, and the mundane things are probably even more difficult to catch the eye." Haha, I, He Lan, didn't know that the ambitious third prince of Beixuan still had such an elegant realm, so Unruly words can only be listened to as jokes, how many men in the world do not love power?A real man was born in heaven and earth, so he should do something and make a career.It's just that although the country is good, you have to fight with your wealth and life.Besides, Chu Lengnian and I were both born in the royal family, and we learned the ways of the emperor and the skills of imperial servants since childhood.Analyzing the situation and judging people's hearts are all well-learned.From the very beginning, we stand taller than others and are closer to the center of power.Such a little bit of ambition, how can we not fight or grab, even if we are willing to be mediocre and want to live a normal life, we still have to be approved by others. If we don’t want to be other people’s puppets or stepping stones, we have to fight endlessly for power. Potential.After analyzing Chu Lengnian's psychology, I gave him a look that I knew very well.

Ling Qianyue has been quietly listening to me chatting with Chu Lengnian since the beginning of the interrogation and attack.Hearing that I was going to take off my sword and walk around the lake and sea, this guy's eyes became hot, as if he wanted to say a thousand words to me, but in the end he hesitated to speak a few times, with a brown face and head bowed, cuffs His lower hands trembled slightly, unable to hide his emotional excitement.I secretly wondered if this guy was sent by the king of Chu to persuade and brainwash him.

After Chu Lengnian agreed on the second meeting, he left the inn with Ling Qianyue and his party. In addition to the tiring journey and the battle of wits with Chu Ling, I was very tired and had no dreams in a foreign country.
