Imperial Jingdong City, Liu's house...

23us.

As a founding hero who has been honored and disgraced with the current imperial family "Kaijing Zhao Family" and has been intermarried for many years and has been in conflict with each other for many years, the houses that the Liu family has granted will naturally not be small. As one of the most powerful families today, the houses of the Liu family cannot be bad either.

The total area exceeds 500 acres, and even includes the entire native mountain and a small lake. Although this scale is far from being compared with the "Langya Manor" of the Wang family, which is full of mountains and is far from being as strong as the "Donghai Dragon Sky Castle" that is located in the East China Sea. It is arrogant and powerful, but among the imperial capitals with a scale of stolen Gui rice pearls, such a house is the most luxurious besides the Forbidden City.

From front to back, there are eight houses in total. Although there are not many, when each house is so wide that it can even accommodate thousands of people without feeling crowded, the luxury and grandeur of the ancestors of the Liu family can be seen.

The sixth, seventh, the distance between the houses is the largest. A green stream flows softly, carrying thousands of willows, bamboos, and rare flowers and grass on both sides, forming a green garden about thirty steps wide. Although there is no visible protection on both sides, everyone in the Liu family also knows that if you want to stroll through it without the recognition of Liu Taibo, the head of the family, then it may be a good choice for suicide.

In the bamboo forest and on the side of the stream, two people were walking.

The hunched old man who was walking with a cane was wearing a very ordinary coarse cloth dress. His snow-white hair was not well combed. His messy ears and forehead overflowed, almost covering his eyes. He was old and his movements were very slow, and his eyesight was not good. Although he was leaning on a locust root cane with many twists and knots in his hand, he still stumbling on the colorful cobblestone road past the stream, step by step. If it weren't for the purple-clad girl standing beside him, he would have fallen a few times.

The two of them walked slowly, walked up the stream, gradually bypassed a forest, and saw a small garden.

The garden was made of bamboo fences crossed, and the garden gate was also woven with several bamboo poles. It was very crude and very unfit for this wealthy mansion, but it seemed quite close to the old man with thick hair and clothes.

Two hand-cut wooden boards were hung on the garden door, swaying in the evening breeze, and from time to time, they hit the bamboo door, and they could not see any peace.

On the chopped white surface, I wrote two sentences, which were written in black ink, and the font was very broad. It was not very particular about the ribs, but the tone was very large, which was:

I was autistic Taoyuan and wanted to plant a large wooden pillar to the sky.

When I looked closely, the ink traces had been completely submerged into the wood, and there were cracks in the subtle areas, which seemed to have been written for countless years.

The old man looked at the front of the garden, stood still while panting, raised his hand and wiped his hair on his forehead, squinted his eyes and looked at the two wooden boards, suddenly smiled, moved his shriveled lips and said twice, "What a big tone?"

"When I was young, I really didn't know the world was high."

The girl in purple smiled softly and said, "Is the teacher dissatisfied with my father or do I think I, a student, is too ineligible?"

The old man smiled and said, "The girl is just quick-talking." But he didn't say anything more.

The two of them had already walked to the small garden at this time. When the people inside heard the sound, they pushed the door out together and said respectfully: "Sir, you are back."

The old man stopped, waved his hand, and said, "I know." Then he ignored the people and walked straight in. The girl in purple smiled apologized to the people, and also walked around the people, and followed the old man.

The people looked at each other and couldn't speak for a moment.

From left to right, the four people are Dongyuan Duke Tang Bing, Xia Huang Duke Cui Guang, Qili Ji Wu Shi and Jiaoli Mr. Zhou Shu. They are collectively known as "An Liu Sihao". They are usually considered the highest think tanks of the "Pei Shang Liu Family". With their own strength, they can influence Liu Zongliang's decisions and the direction of the Liu family at least. In the eyes of outsiders, this is the case.

There are about a hundred people in the Liu family who know the existence of this old man, but more than 90% of them think that this old man is a generation of old man with great relations with the Liu family. In the Rong Yang Mansion, he truly understands his identity as the "Supreme Staff of the Liu family", except for Liu Zongliang, there are only seven.

Tang Bing, Cui Guang, Wu Shi, Zhou Shu, Yun Feiyang and two people who, like them, were "not the surname Liu".

The old man had a strange temper and had never given any reason in his actions. He suddenly left without saying a word a few months ago, and only took away the girl in purple. He immediately became anxious and was extremely anxious when the chaos had already emerged. He was also in a hurry to advance and retreat in the northern Hebei period. He lost a lot of effort afterwards. Afterwards, he was very regretful, but he could not help but feel helpless.

In the past ten days, the senior management of the Liu family has held more than one secret meeting in response to the turmoil that may be around the world and the direction that the Liu family can choose. However, in the face of multiple temptations and threats, no one has the courage to throw the last dice. Although all the arrangements and efforts of the Liu family over the past decade have been moving in that direction, when the "opportunity" really comes, every person who has a personal interest in it cannot be careless and careful, and cannot make the "final decision" at will.

It’s not that they are cowardly, but that the consequences of the “choice” are too serious: if you succeed, you will swallow everything, and if you fail, you will be doomed. No one dares to play such a game lightly.

This afternoon, the old man suddenly returned to the mansion. The four of them were naturally very happy and rushed to his residence, Gonghou. However, the old man didn't know that, he took the girl to the garden to play until late at night. Liu Zongliang was also suffering from the old man for a long time and wanted to wait for him to come back. He discussed the future major strategies, but he was also strange. Seeing that it was getting dark, he suddenly took a horse away, saying that he was going south to go to the Liu family headquarters, but there was no extra explanation. He went there like this, and the four of them were even more nervous, not sure what it meant.

It was a chaotic situation. It would be a good thing if Ming Gong had a strait with his husband at this time.

Worried, but powerless, the four of them smiled helplessly and quietly waited outside the Houyuan, not daring to go or enter.

Fortunately, the old man seemed to have no intention of making things difficult for them. After a while, he heard the garden gate. He had turned out again, stood with his stick, and watched the four people. After a while, he suddenly said, "How long has Liu Gong been away?"

Tang Bing was slightly shocked and bowed, "Ming Gong was walking when he was almost black." After thinking about it, he said, "Ming Gong walked very quickly, so" but was stopped by the old man waved his hand and laughed, "Going well."

When the four of them were stunned, the girl in purple smiled softly and said, "The teacher's meaning is that my father's way is exactly what the teacher wants. It shows that my father already knows the teacher's wishes before he can do this."

The girl's voice was soft and soft, very nice, as if the clear jade spring slowly poured into the silver plate, and there was no breath of fireworks.

He saw the old man rolling his eyes to the sky and said, "Since Mr. Liu has returned south, he shows that he has made up his mind."

"I went to April and visited the 19th prefectures of the four prefectures and 19 prefectures. Finally, I confirmed what I suspected and truly grasped the secret."

But he did not continue and suddenly said, "Mr. Zhou has neglected anything about the matter in northern Hebei."

Zhou Shu was already feeling as if he had been on pins and needles since he appeared. At this moment, he heard him speak and hurriedly said, "Zhou Shu was confused and careless for a moment." But he was like Tang Bing, and was stopped by the old man waved his hand.

The old man came out of the God of God and smiled and said, "You can't blame you, I'm the one who took the lead."

"The little bit of intention of Tianji is really terrifying. Wuniu opened the mountain to a military strategist, but his usage is hard to predict, amazing, and indeed amazing."

He praised him, but his face was silent and he had no expression at all. The girl always smiled and stood there without any expression.

The old man looked at the four people and said, "In your opinion, what is the urgent matter at the moment?"

The four of them looked at each other, and Tang Bing bowed and said, "It's Sun Wukong. Yuntai's lineage has always been strong and strong. At this moment, he took Jizhou first. Without any future troubles, he will hurt His Majesty again. His morale is greatly boosted. If there is enough food and grass, I am afraid that it will change after the autumn."

The old man sneered and said, "Nonsense"

He also said: "If this is the case, Mr. Liu will do something even if he goes south."

He also said: "Donalds, Sun has been unable to seize southern Hebei for ten years, and has never launched a large-scale invasion of the south. What is the reason? Do you understand?"

Tang Bing was slightly stunned and thought, "What are you thinking about? North of Hebei is not solid. If the troops go south and the situation is not good, it will be difficult to get rid of the enemy's worries from both sides. However, north of Hebei is in a cold and the city of Shengjing is strong. If the strong army attacks and cannot be rushed, the army will come in from the pass, and they will be attacked from both sides. Of course, Tianji Ziwei will not make such a bad move." But the old man snorted coldly, raised his right hand, and wrote the word "Han" in the air.

"What really makes Sun unable to worry about the boy Tianji is not the Gongsun family in northern Ji, but Hanzhou."

"To be clear, it is the Langya Wang Family and Qu Zouqiu Family, which are respectively enfeoffed from the east and west of South Korea."

"Although these two families are only granted ten thousand households, if you have any intention, you will give your all the power of Yuntai and you will not be able to live in South Korea within three months."

The four of them looked at each other, but they didn't feel very convinced.

"The King of Xiaoshui Man" Wang Siqian and "The Confucian Saint" Qiu Yangming, such a name cannot be ignored by anyone. When the four of them discussed the general trend of the world in the future, of course, they have discussed it more than once. In their minds, the position of these two people has always been ambiguous. The Qiu Ao family is famous for "only the throne of loyalty and not the same surname", which has always been like this for thousands of years; Wang Siqian has a strong friendship with Sun Wukong. It is really hard to imagine that the two will try their best to snipe Sun Wukong.

"The teacher does not mean that they can fight."

With a slight smile, the girl in purple spoke again.

"But it means that in this case, Hanzhou will not be able to fight."

If you do your best, Yuntaishan can certainly destroy the two families of Qiu Wang at the same time, but before you even reach the main force of the Emperor family, you will pick both of the eight poles of heaven and earth at the same time. Such a thing is not something that Tianji Ziwei can do.

"So, it is unlikely that the Yuntai Army will collect grain and replenish troops too fiercely in Hanzhou, and it is even less likely that it will launch a decisive battle without any scruples."

When the two armies fight, they will always create bones and throw millions of acres of good land into desolation. No matter what, there may be few farmers who have the courage to cultivate in the crossing of arrows. Even if the two families want to strive to remain neutral, they still cannot express their traditional interests or the interests of their followers when they are damaged.

"For the same reason, the Imperial Army will also have some concerns."

If Sun Wurang was unwilling to offend the two families, the imperial family would have more reason to show kindness to both families, especially the Qiu family, which has been the responsibility of "inheriting the throne" for thousands of years. If it really stood on Sun Wurang's side, the blow to the morale of the entire imperial army would be a nightmare that would have to sweat profusely even if you think about it.

"So, the Yuntai Army will go south this year, but the first place to launch a bloody battle will not be the central part of Hanzhou, but Sangbei or even the northwest part of Qinzhou."

"Sangzhou said that"

With a sense of surprise, the four of them passed their eyes to each other. What the girl said was a possibility that they had never thought of.

"Yes, the area that comes into contact with the Yuntai army should be the traditional sphere of influence of the Cao family, and it will definitely be just a regional battle, and even Sangnan will probably not affect it."

"If that looks like this, there will be no more chaos, no more large number of refugees running away, and no more many refugees to recruit."

"So, there will be no farmer who can be called up and used as you imagine, and there will be no heroes and wise men who will go south because they refuse to follow Yuntai. Do you understand?"

The last sentence was the old man angrily scolding him, and looking at his appearance, he even meant to beat four people with a stick.

As the four of them were sweating profusely, they all bowed their heads to their red faces.

Seeing the four people like this, the old man seemed to have some breath, paused a few times on the ground, and said, "Fortunately, Mr. Liu is a sensible person. Otherwise, he would not have gone south at such a time."

Tang Bing's heart was already in a mess at this time. When he heard the old man talk, he was a little confused and said, "Mr. What he meant was "Suddenly shocked, and he said in a lost voice: "Taiping Road"

The old man smiled and said, "There is still something to teach."

Fang Dao: "In the following months, the Yuntai Army will slowly move south, but Taiping Road will definitely launch an attack with Songming Prefectures. With the ability of the local defenders, I believe that at most, at least half of the two prefectures will change their surnames to Taiping."

He said in a deep voice: "As soon as the chaos appears, you can get the chestnut from the fire. The strategy you have drawn is correct in details, but you have misunderstood the implementation. Do you understand?"

The four of them wiped the sweat beads on their foreheads and bowed together and said, "Sir, I'll accept it."

Tang Bing was the leader of the four. After thinking about it, he said, "But, sir, if there is a change in Taiping, then there seems to be some changes in Weijinzhou. If that happens, how should Heishui Wanyan's family be evaluated?"

When the old man heard his question, he laughed and said, "I asked very well."

"But you don't have to worry about the matter over there, just focus on cooking the Central Plains business."

He sneered again: "Boy Tianji, Zhongda has a good plan, but the world is so great and the wisdom is so broad. Do you really think that this flower world is decided by God's school and only your Guigu family is the leader?"

He sneered and whispered. The four of them heard it, but they didn't understand what Guigu Yunyun meant, and they didn't dare to ask more. When they were about to leave, Tang Bing suddenly remembered and asked: "Sir, what is the plan in Jinzhou? You may make it clear and teach me what you know."

The old man laughed and said, "Of course."

Amid the laughter, the girl smiled and said, "I will deal with it there, I will leave tonight."

The four of them were slightly shocked, and Tang Bing couldn't help but blurt out: "Miss Three", but saw the woman's eyes suddenly turned like a knife. He felt cold in his heart and couldn't continue.

The girl's eyes shrank and dissipated, and she looked like a spring breeze on her face. She passed by the four people with her smile, and said, "I have been eating and drinking in the mansion for many years. I often feel embarrassed."

"At this time when everyone is doing their best, I, a person who is not surnamed Liu, should have some effort."

Tang Bing's mouth twitched, and finally said, "But, the current Jinzhou in Miss Three is in chaos. Although you are extremely wise, you are still going west alone."

Suddenly, a cold and emotional voice said, "I'll accompany my sister." The voice was very close, and it started from behind everyone else's steps.

The four of them turned around in horror, but someone was there
