The Huguo Mansion holds the power of decision-making. However, it may also be related to the secret guidance and encouragement of the royal family. In addition to the war period, the lieutenant of the Huguo Mansion was in intense debate and debate at all times. Xu Wenhu served as the lieutenant of the eighth year old and would discuss matters in the lieutenant of the Huguo Mansion every other year. During this long period, he divided the lieutenant he knew into at least eight categories.

The first category is the followers of the Marine Department and the idea that "plan determines everything" of the General Secretary. They believe that as long as you make careful plans and follow common sense and more precise principles, you will definitely get the expected results. They are used to using numbers to illustrate problems, and all those who deviate from the plan and doubt the results are deprecated as ignorant or ulterior motives. Some officers of the Anxi Military Department, most officers of the Andong Military Department, and most officers of the General's Mansion belong to this category. Zhang Shanfu, who Xu Wenhu met in the Guguo Mansion, was such a young lieutenant.

The second category is opposite to the first category. Just like the opposite side of Zhang Jiaozi, this type of people demand to adapt to changes and act boldly. They believe that the General's Mansion can only give reasonable goals. How to implement depends on the situation on the battlefield. A truly excellent front-line officer will inevitably get rid of pre-formed plans and find a better plan. These bold activists are also the consent of expelling barbarians with fierce means. They often joke about the marching department saying that we use swords and arrows to fight, and they use pens to fight on the map. Most of the Anbei Military Department, part of the Brexit Department, and a small number of the Anxi Military Department belong to this faction. Xu Wenhu once belonged to this faction, but now he is ashamed of his youth and prosperity.

The third category is the doctrine of the mean, between the two. They believe that there is no doubt that when various situations may happen at any time, geniuses should not be bound by plans, but it is also undeniable that geniuses are so rare. Instead of betting on the destiny of the country on a few geniuses, it is better to rely on careful planning and the military principles that have been verified countless times by predecessors. This faction advocates that in conventional situations, they should act according to plans, but when changing plans has great benefits, they should not hold on to the plan. Xu Wenhu believes that these lieutenants are talking big, but actually have no beliefs.

The fourth category is even more unbearable. They do not consider the interests of the entire country, but only support national policies that are beneficial to the base camp and the army. Anyone who wants to promote a national policy can be supported as long as the conditions given are good enough. Xu Wenhu believes that the existence of these people is simply a shame for protecting the country's government. Fortunately, there are not many such people in the protected country's palace. After all, the lieutenants still want to go further in their careers and are unwilling to be considered as a person who has no principles and only seeks personal gain for small groups.

The fifth category is mediocre and incompetent, and is recommended by the prestige among the soldiers. They do not have any firm views, and even a loud statement can impress these people. These people regard entering the Guguo Mansion as the greatest achievement in their lives. What they like most is to constantly ask questions and mess with the various experts sent by the Marine Department. However, they do not know that the people in the Marine Department are laughing behind their backs, and they are the most easily convinced. Fortunately, in the Guguo Mansion, there are fewer such people than in the Fourth Sect.

The sixth category is that there are always more than a dozen lieutenants who are infinitely loyal to the emperor and even worship them. They act completely according to the emperor's intentions. When the emperor does not show any intention, they maintain noble silence. Their dreams are nothing more than following the emperor's commander in person or summoning them to the Dragon Ya Army. These people are probably new lieutenants who have just entered the Guguo Mansion. Xu Wenhu himself went through this stage, and later, he gradually accepted the principle that everyone is responsible for the world.

The seventh category is the villain in Xu Wenhu's eyes. There is only one very important thing in their eyes, that is, their greatest interests. There are always two or three black sheep who shout at the Guguo Mansion in order to attract attention, beat their chests and stamp their feet and argue with others endlessly. Even the most basic calm cannot be maintained, they try every means to blame others, just like a mess of rat shit. As the saying goes, people's hearts are seen over time. The chief officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the generals of the General's Mansion and the captains of the Guguo Mansion all hate these two or three people as if they hate flies and mosquitoes. Even the camps that elect these two or three people were discriminated against by the various armies. They often launch a series of re-elected captains among the soldiers three or five years later, and drove them out of the Guguo Mansion.

The eighth category is a group of smart and capable lieutenant. They do not easily agree with any opinions, and always observe everything calmly, trying to find the correct way out in the fog of war and policy. This sect seems to subconsciously maintain the balance and mutual restraint between the senators of the Guardian Mansion. The number of people in this sect is also not large, but this type of person is promoted to general the most. Before Xu Wenhu successfully promoted to general, he thought he belonged to this sect.

In the Hanguang Hall of Linquan Palace, all the huge candles as thick as arms are rarely burned together. This huge candle is light and tasteless, making the hall bright as daylight. Xia Emperor Chen Xuan and the five generals are all in front of the huge mountain and river geographical figures hanging.

The court discussion had not yet begun. The veteran general Xu Wenhu, who was rushing to the road, looked a little tired and thoughtful. General Lu Qingzong of Anbei was whispering and enthusiastically reminiscing with Prime Minister Liu Yi. Chen Xuan, Liu Yi, Lu Qingzong of Lu Qingzong were the three sharp blades that swept across the North Sea coastal tribes. Emperor Xia Chen Xuan coughed and nodded to General Zhang Shanfu, the marching commander.

Zhang Shanfu looked calm and stepped forward. He looked at the old face surrounding the map, picked up a guide stick and stood in front of the map, and said in a deep voice: "Now I will briefly introduce the situation on the four borders. Next, please tell your opinions." The four generals, Xu Wenhu, Xiang Shi, Wu Ting and Xie Yuan, all stopped greetings. Behind them, the guards of the Dragon Ya Army carefully closed the door of Hanguang Hall.

Zhang Shanfu's introduction was very slow, very detailed, with a monotonous and clear voice without any personal emotional color. On the western border, the princes of the Dashi and the Turks had been divided, but the invasion and burning of Western countries made them temporarily unite. Since the loss of Jerusalem, for more than 20 years, both sides of different sects have been constantly fighting and accumulating force to prepare for a decisive battle. In frequent contacts and battles, the military and political systems of both sides were also infiltrating each other.

Among them, the Roma Kingdom, located between Xia and Lumei, absorbed the Western feudal system, and was nourished by East-West trade, and gradually became stronger. The Roma Kingdom is now faintly the leader of the Turks and Dashi princes. The Sultan Imperial Guard has 50,000 elite cavalry, and the Turks and Dashi princes who surrendered to it can reach 200,000 people. It also poses the greatest threat to Lumei Kingdom, and it also poses a threat to Zhenxi Fort and Haixi Port built by Xia Kingdom on the east coast of the Black Sea.

Lu Mei's situation is sliding in a worse direction. Faced with the threat of pagan food and the threat of the Turks, Lu Mei's request for help from the West is equivalent to attracting the wolf into the house. The vassal states established by the crusaders did not obey orders except for Lu Mei as the formality. In order to fight against the threat of pagans and the craters, Lu Mei is strengthening cooperation with the country of Ros. The emperor of Lu Mei is about to die, and the eldest daughter of the emperor, Princess Anna, is the most active promoter. Lu Mei may marry Ros. If King Ros supports Anna to become the queen of Lu Mei, their son may become the rulers of Lu Mei and Ross, and combine Lu Mei's wealth with the Ross barbarian army to become a new powerful empire.

When Zhang Shanfu talked about this, General Anbei Shang Shang Xiang Shi snorted contemptuously in his nose and whispered to Prime Minister Liu Yi: "It is easy to understand the foreign countries. In my opinion, this Princess Taiping, who has a reed eyebrows, has only two consequences, one is sent to a nunnery and the other is beheaded." Liu Yi smiled slightly, and did not say anything. The general of the logistics department, Xie Yuan, recorded quickly on a note full of handwriting, as always.

The previous king of Ross State, Vladimir, had forced a princess from Lumei, as the main palace among his more than 300 wives and concubines. Therefore, the country believed in Lumei's national religion and was known as the Orthodox Church. Before Vladimir died, he imitated the eldest son inheritance system of Xia State, and Musti actually enclosed all eleven brothers. He strengthened his control over Ross and used the Orthodox Church to force the princes from all over the country to recognize that he was the only king who was qualified to communicate with the gods of the gods. Musti took over three-quarters of the land and wealth in the country to the royal family, which made the life of the people at the bottom of Ross State extremely difficult, but he provided a huge army. The population of Ross State was only five.

More than one million, but the royal army reached 150,000. Musti squeezed a large amount of food, fur and other things, and trafficked to the Lumei Kingdom to the south, giving the wealth and various extravagances he received to his ministers and generals who were loyal to him. The western part of the Rus, the Kingdom of Poland, the Duchy of Lithuania, Hungary and other kingdoms were also established by military power. There were nomadic Turks in the southwest and did not gain much advantage in war. After the eastward development was blocked by Xia Kingdom, Musti turned his attention to the south. His army was still constantly attacking the weak tribes located in the south of the Rusti, hoping to incorporate these new territories and nations into the Rusti. He actively responded to the olive branch of Princess Anna, who extended his country to make use of his huge army.

"That Princess Anna is not a good-for-nothing lamp, she is a pair with Musti, who imprisons his brother." Xiang Shi murmured softly.

After Zhang Shanfu introduced the general situation of the western border, he then proposed the plan to attack Ross State formulated by the marching department.

"To promote this marriage, the country of Ross must show its strong military strength. Therefore, conquering the weak tribes to the south is the best way." Zhang Shanfu said slowly, "Our plan is to assist those small tribes that resisted the country of Ross, so that Musti would continue to add troops to the south. When his eastern defense line was empty, the Anbei army crossed the stone mountain and attacked the territory of Ross, forcing Musti to raise troops to fight. Then, the Anxi army set out from Haixi Port, landed, marched along the river, and attacked his royal city."
