For the emperor

Chapter 38 Qualitative

When Cai Feng, the eldest son of Cai, bit the bullet and slapped sideways on the military affairs for three days, Cang Tiansu finally had a sudden realization, looked away from the scroll, and said with a smile, "Why, how many years do you want to practice in the army?"

At first, when Lin Yaolan was criticizing everywhere, she would sell her own favours, intentionally or unintentionally, and deal in private. Cang Tiansu saw it, knew that he wanted something, and sure enough, the other party couldn't wait to bump into her here.

Cai Feng finally blushed under the weird eyes of Wang Dechuan and the others, and said falteringly, "No... I am the eldest son of the family after all, and my father and the clan will never..."

Zhang Guanglian turned his elbow viciously, and Cai Feng realized that he had accidentally uttered the words of his father Tiantian just now, and his face changed drastically.

The eldest son?I just said this to the eldest son of the emperor who was thrown on the battlefield at the age of 12. Didn't I hit him in the face?

His father and the members of the Cai family would be worried about the safety of the eldest son in the family and would not allow him to fight with his life on the battlefield. Once this was said, how would Emperor Jing and the royal family deal with themselves?

Cai Feng secretly looked at Cang Tiansu's face, afraid that he would offend someone with his ingenious words, but the other party seemed not to notice anything wrong with his words, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "General Li Renqiang, the Confucian general of the Northwest Army, is the eldest son of the Li family. He said a sentence that impressed me very much - 'As a nobleman, if I serve in the battlefield, I may regret it for two or three years, but as a man, if I don't serve in the battlefield, I will regret it forever'."

This sentence sounded very provocative at first, Cai Feng shuddered, and was instantly ignited: "Yes, a handsome man, it is indeed a great pity in life that I have never seen a scene of a million troops rushing to kill!"

Cang Tiansu glanced at Cai Feng's rapidly turning red face, and said "bullshit" in his heart.He himself has been in the army for so long, and he has never seen a battle that required millions of people.

That time in Pingye City didn't count, it was a unilateral massacre.

An army of one million is just a nice thing to say, but if it is put on the battlefield, it will be too big to move, and the target is too obvious, so it is difficult to keep any strategic deployment secret.

All fighters win by right combination and by surprise.Lost the word "odd", an army whose actions are completely controlled by the enemy, even if there are millions of people, if it hits Cang Tiansu's hands, give him 30 people, whether it is dismantling and eating or swallowing elephants, It's not too difficult.

At the beginning, he was only willing to leave 10 soldiers to gamble with his own life, but it was just to show favor to everyone and truly bring the Northwest Army under his wings.In fact, 50 people against [-] is actually not without the slightest chance of winning.

In Cang Tiansu's view, in ordinary battles, four times the number of battles is [-]-[-], and five times the number is already a limit. It is still a hurdle that cannot be crossed. If the difference in military strength between the two sides is greater than ten times, it will be difficult to reverse it by manpower, and it will depend on luck and character.Cang Tiansu now thinks of the battle of trapped beasts, and he sighs in his heart, often saying "lucky" to himself.

Looking at the passionate Cai Feng in front of him, he finished complaining unkindly in his heart, Cang Tiansu raised him a few words, but didn't follow along.

The son of Cai's parents is a hot potato. Cang Tiansu is not willing to make any promises and sign a blank check foolishly before he knows what the Cai family's rulers actually think.

Cai Feng's status is special, if he really joins the army, it is impossible for any coach to put him in the new army and let him go into battle with swords and guns.

If the eldest son of Cai's family's family died in his own army for no reason, then he would really be able to steal a chicken and lose money, and if it was almost impossible, he would completely provoke a powerful big family.

Who said that military merit is the most important thing in the military camp?When it comes to the promotion and promotion of personnel and horses, the most important thing is the origin, which involves the issue of military power, and there are more tricks in it than the promotion in the court.

No matter how unfavored Cang Tiansu is, he is of decent royal blood, so once he arrives in the Northwest Army, even if Emperor Jing clearly made him suffer and be punished, his treatment can still be equal to that of the army commander Duan De.

If he loses this identity, no matter how good his tactics are, he will not be allowed to issue orders in place of Duan De.If it weren't for the identity of the eldest son of the emperor, how could those soldiers watch Duan De give up the position of general because of the sufficient reason that he didn't have any military achievements?

The only son of General Zhenbei can be named a major general even if he doesn’t have any military merits. Who can not look at his three-pointed face when he took over the Central Army directly under Emperor Jing.

Li Renqiang, with the support of the Li family behind him, has not been on the battlefield for three years, and he can still secure his official position as a second-rank official without any foundation. After his death, Cang Tiansu, who wanted to give the army new blood, was finally brought up. The difference is shocking just thinking about it.

So Cang Tiansu was not at all surprised that Xu Companion privately formed a clique to seize power. After so many years of begging but not being able to work so hard, Xu Companion's desire for power was much stronger than those born with a golden spoon in their mouths.

And what Cang Tiansu valued Xu Compensation the most was precisely his unwillingness to reconcile, and his resentment towards Duan Yu, Li Renqiang, and others who had made more contributions than him but were higher than him in the past ten years.

Xu Fu himself was also very upbeat, as soon as he was brought up, General Xu immediately bit down on the other two factions like a red-eyed fighting cock without Cang Tiansu's hints and provocations. Fellowship.

It is also obvious that Cang Tiansu's subordinates have divided the Northwest Army into three camps, which are incompatible with each other, which is far easier for Emperor Jing to accept than the monolithic Northwest Army when Duan De was there.

So Emperor Jing was suspicious of Duan De in every possible way, but he was much more tolerant towards Cang Tiansu.Before Prince Cheng's rebellion, the Northwest Army's merits gradually increased, and the emperor did not send anyone to share the merits. A large part of the reason was to express his reward for his elder son's wise behavior.

Cang Tiansu knew that the situation of the Cai family was similar to that of the Li family. As generals from noble families, it was impossible for Emperor Jing to make them the number one in the army.

The regular generals who are qualified to control the army can only be newcomers from a family of generals or without any foundation.For most of the people who abandon literature and pursue martial arts, their status as descendants of aristocratic families can make them feel at ease at the beginning, but later on, promotion becomes more and more troublesome.

If Cang Tiansu hadn't had a foot in the Northwest Army four years ago, after Duan De's death, Emperor Jing would have chosen to let Xu Zhi jump three levels in a row, and would never let Li Renqiang have the opportunity to go further.

Civil and military are irrelevant, and it is the most basic check and balance strategy for a qualified emperor.

Looking at Cai Feng who seemed to have made up his mind, Cang Tiansu felt a little disapproving.

Because the direction of the imperial court has changed, there are constant disputes among countries. Every year, a large number of children from aristocratic families abandon their education and join the military.

When Cang Tiansu was talking about Li Renqiang just now, he obviously saw Cai Feng's unusual expression, and secretly laughed in his heart.This kid only saw the splendor of Li Renqiang, the predecessor of the aristocratic family, so why didn't he think that among so many passionate young people from various aristocratic families who have devoted themselves to the battlefield for so many years, there is not only one Li Renqiang?

General Li is as slippery as a catfish, and has more eyes than pores, and he cast Duan De's eyes early, and he walked tremblingly for more than [-] years, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the Liu family to compensate the general, and sat down with a son of a noble family. The highest position that can be climbed in the army, do you think everyone has his ability and luck?

Even if it is the same identity, the same style, the same talent, at a different time and a different place, the result will not be the same.

Li Renqiang was able to achieve today because of a five-point chance, and Cai Feng did not have his ability. Unless the smoke from the ancestral grave hits the big luck, otherwise, he can only live a lifetime as a civil servant.

His ambition is higher than the sky, but his talent is thinner than the clouds. After all, the children of this Qizi family are young, and they are praised so much that they don't know how important they are.Cang Tiansu sees clearly, but doesn't point it out clearly, every sentence is just enough, and he really doesn't want to cause trouble for himself for irrelevant people.

He knew that apart from Li Renqiang as a shining example, he also had a lot of responsibilities.The pretentious young talents saw that a half-grown boy in his teens could make such a contribution, even if he didn't say it, he must have underestimated the danger of the battlefield in his heart.

——Since it's obviously not a difficult task, how can the eldest prince be more beautiful than before?So all of them are gearing up and eager to try, they are all idiots who have been dazzled by the guise of quick fame.

Cang Tiansu took the tea offered by Cai Feng solicitously, with a harmless and dazzling smile.It doesn't matter whether young people practice hard, they must know how to position themselves, know how much they have, and suffer a little bit now, rather than suffer big losses later and cause big troubles.

He figured it out, the few people the second brother found this time, except for Lin Yaolan, who looked stupid as hell but was full of bad things, the rest were all embroidered pillows. To say that they are unreasonable and worldly is light and arrogant. It is the best comment.

It doesn't matter if you are stupid, the key is to understand what you can do and what you can say, if it is not for the huge power behind them, Cang Tiansu would not waste his saliva here.

Seeing that after a few days of getting along, Lin Yaolan, who is white on the outside and black on the inside, the only one who can be made, has such a relationship with his own father that I have to say, Cang Tiansu is very depressed.

What really puzzled him was that Emperor Cang Jing arranged such a group of parallel importers beside Cang Tianci quietly, could it be that he really wanted to lure his second younger brother to the road of Prince Xiaoyao?

Or is it that my father has already made up his mind to find the right time to chop himself, so it doesn't matter if the second brother doesn't have any real talents?
