"This is the old fox." Zhou He cheered up and said to himself secretly.

"Shen Xuezheng and Lin Zhizhou have a lot of experience in fighting and defending. Before we came, we were a little worried about the great food forces on Jindao, but we didn't expect that they had been suppressed by Lizhou." Zhao Xingde told Zhou He. He realized that Shen Lin and the two were indeed interested in Zhucheng, firearms and military training techniques. Before Zhou He arrived, Lin You could actually quote the orders for artillery battles he wrote, which surprised him. Ordinary regiment training may not be able to reach this level of familiarity.

"Sun Tzu Youyun, a 100,000 army will cost a thousand yuan a day. If an army with infantry, cavalry and heavy artillery is not made a big mistake, it will definitely defeat an army that lacks any branch of the army. Heavy artillery can hardly move away from the main road, and when the army moves, the speed of the entire army is the speed of the slowest branch of the army. If the army is equipped with infantry, cavalry and artillery, the movement of the enemy and our army will be very limited, and it is difficult to win by using strange strategies. The two armies are more likely to form a face-to-face decisive battle, and winning with strength becomes the right way. Light cavalry advancement and division of troops will be difficult to work."...

"After the current large-scale firearms, the cost of transfer of supplies is not only food and grass, but also gunpowder, heavy artillery, shells, and horses that haul cannons. However, the generals in command will try every means to concentrate more troops for a head-on decisive battle. In this way, the consumption of war will be several times higher than before, and war is increasingly not just a matter of the army, but depends on the national strength of the two countries. As the saying goes, fighting with the country."

"Yelu Dashi and Yue Shuai are both very familiar with firearms. As Zhao expected, in the battle of Hebei, Yue Shuai would definitely continue to advance with an elite force with the infantry, cavalry and artillery as the vanguard. Once they encounter a large group of troops from the Liao army, the vanguard will turn into a vanguard, the main force will quickly follow up, and form a head-on decisive battle with the Liao army. As Zhao said just now, if the two countries are fighting troops, if the generals on both sides do not make mistakes, the outcome will depend on national strength."

"So, although the Liao army dares to fight, Yelu Dashi will not dare to fight easily with our dynasty. Instead, he will drag our army to the northward step by step. Hebei is scorched earth. Every time the Yue army moves northward, the pressure of the baggage will be higher, and the Liao army has more chances to win the decisive battle. The Liao army does not want Yue Zheng to advance too quickly. This is because every time the Northern Expedition Army drags for one more day, our dynasty will maintain the delivery of food and grass, and consume more national strength. In this way, the Liao army has more chances to win. If it can be delayed until the middle of winter, it is even more what the Liao people want. On the other hand, Yue Zheng must not only advance heavily, so as not to move deeper rashly, but also maintain a certain speed, so as not to delay the war and the rear baggage will not continue."

Both Shen and Lin were familiar with military affairs, and Zhao Xingde did not perfunctorily, but analyzed the situation of the Northern Expedition in detail.

"In the opinion of the great master," Lin Zhizhou listened in a divine manner, and suddenly said, "What is the chance of winning the Northern Expedition?"

"What is the victory or defeat? Zhao can only say that as long as he insists on marching, at least he will not be defeated."

"Weapon is a major event for the country," Zhao Xingde said very cautiously, "It is not easy to speculate."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Lin Zhizhou's face, and he immediately said humbly: "It's Lin's Menglang."

He looked left and right and left, and the Qingliu gentry from the state had arrived almost the same, and the navy officers were gathered together.

The guests were full of guests, and the sailors kept serving the prepared dishes, but these dishes were specially prepared by the local local people in Lizhou to reward the navy. The gold and silver pots on each table were filled with fruit tea, durian, reed orange, banana, mangosteen and other fresh fruits, piled in colorful glassware, and the large plates were filled with meat fragrance. The officers of the South China Sea Navy were famous for their civil and military affairs, hiding dragons and lying tigers. Although the Qingliu of Lizhou was very high in self-esteem, they also had some curiosity to inquire about the origin of the officers, and secretly compared them with the rumored situation. The generals were cured meat and fish all day long on the boat, staring at each of them with burning eyes, and their throats were almost stretched out, and they wanted to feast immediately.

Zhao Xingde also understood the morale of the army. After a brief congratulation, the meeting held the meeting without limits. Guests at each table could discuss and enjoy delicious food while discussing. Unexpectedly, after the discussion began, the difference between Lizhou Qingliu and other places was immediately revealed. There were no taboos, far exceeding other places. Various topics and discussions were so fierce that many officers such as Ma Yuan and Feng Mi were aroused of competitive spirit.

However, Zhao Xingde was like attending the meeting, and silence was golden. He held the wine glass and watched the officers and the Lizhou Qingliu. Shen Mingchen and Lin You made several comments. Zhao Xingde either said nothing or persuaded both sides not to hurt the harmony, which seemed to him out of the matter. Shen Mingchen and Lin You looked at each other and winked at Zhang Taihe, a professor of state studies next to him.

"Mr. Chen replaced Mr. Deng, and one crab was worse than another. Mr. Deng was spread all over the world, and instructed the official to report to the Ministry to suppress his remarks, which was actually to fool the world with his own selfishness. If he succeeded, it would be more abominable than Qin Shihuang burning books and burying scholars. Zhao Gao pointed out that deer was more abominable. Qin Shihuang only burned books and burying scholars to do so, but the minister of the current dynasty used the country's weapons to deceive people's hearts. Wouldn't it mean that the people in the world were happy with the joy of the minister, and then the enemies of the minister were attracted by the superiors, and the mind was pulled by the superiors, and the human figure was like a puppet."

"The court is good at using secret spies, and uses the official report to suppress the remarks," Zhang Taihe pondered: "General Zhou, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Zhou He was picking up food, and he couldn't help but look shaking when he heard this. He saw that he was a white-clothed scholar. He just heard the introduction of the magistrate. He was a professor of the provincial school, and he was also a famous Qingliu in Lizhou. Zhou He was in Jinyan Mansion, except for a few people in the army, and Professor Zhang must not know why he asked him for some reason. Zhou He didn't understand, but the other party pointed at the monk and scolded the bald donkey. He put down his chopsticks, looked at Zhang Taihe, and said righteously: "

There was a saying in ancient times that three people became tigers. Although guarding against the people is more important than guarding against Sichuan, the court governs the world and opens up the road of speech, it cannot make the hearts of the world so chaotic. I think it is very appropriate for Mr. Deng to report to the office to guide the hearts of the world. Besides, the world is in turmoil now. In order to resist the barbarians, the court has released the training of prefectures and counties and enriched the local area. But in this way, how can we prevent many ambitious people in the world? If the court does not spread widely and prevents them before they happen, will it be a disaster again if the chaos arises?"

The scholar should be treated with admiration for three days after separation. Zhou He was able to say this so surprised Zhao Xingde.

Zhou He himself also felt a light on his face and looked at Zhang Taihe proudly. Zhang Taihe only saw that Zhou He was respectful in the navy and must be a knowledgeable person. But when he heard his argument, he was completely standing on the court and Deng Su's side, so he retorted without thinking: "General Zhou's words seem reasonable, but they are actually wrong." He glanced at Zhao Xingde and said, "Mr. Zhao recounted the way that Zhou people matched the heaven with virtue. The government of the court should comply with the heaven. What is the way of heaven? Angels see themselves and the people listen to themselves and the people listen. Only by understanding the hearts of the people can the court understand.

I know the heart of heaven. However, wouldn’t the court use the official report to suppress the clear discussion and forge public opinion to confuse the public? If this continues, what is the heart of the people? I am afraid that the one in the court will not see clearly? Since ancient times, the superiors have liked each other, and the subordinates will be very serious. The foolish monarch in the previous dynasty was deceived by the treacherous ministers. In the future, the minister in the court may have backfired and suffer on his own. He was turned into a deaf man and a blind man. He could not see the changes in the will of heaven and the people. He thought that the country was peaceful and safe. In fact, when the disaster came, he was still confused, right?"

"This?" Zhou He was speechless for a moment, but Zhang Taihe didn't wait for him to answer and said further.

"Using secret spies to control the world and counties in the world, this is to govern the world by magic, not benevolence and righteousness. It is to defend the inside and out of the outside, destroy famous cities, and collect money and valleys in the prefectures and counties, just like laughing at a hundred steps. The way to govern the world by benevolence and righteousness is to win the hearts of the people, and the world will be peaceful. If Empress Lu usurped the Han Dynasty, the court was full of the Lu family's party members, and even occupied the military power of the north and south army as the Lu family. However, Zhou Bo ran into the Northern Army alone, and called on those who supported Lu to be right, those who supported Liu to be left, all the troops were left, and the Lu family had been operating for many years, and the ice was disintegrating and the situation turned over immediately. This is because people's hearts are in Han and not Lu. And magic is to govern the sky with magic

Next, magic is broken and the world is in danger. For example, King Li of Zhou sent a witch guard to defend the witch supervisor, the people's roads are eye-catching, but they are more important than guarding against the people. After three years of rebellion, the people of the country chased King Li. For example, the Qin Emperor collected the world's weapons and swords to cast twelve gold men, but the world's suffering, the soldiers of the Daze garrison cut wood into soldiers, and the heroes of the world emerged, and the two generations of tyrannical Qin were destroyed. For example, the Han Wu liked to use cruel officials, but there was a disaster of witchcraft, father and son's weapons and flesh were destroyed, and the incompetent killing was imprisoned. The decline of the Han Dynasty caused this. All of these are used to govern the world with magic. Once they have evil causes, they will definitely get bad consequences. If the prince in the court is determined to act alone, they should know the lessons of the previous car."

Such a long speech was not Director Zhou He. He was a little worried about his face. He was scraping his stomach and trying to deal with it. At this time, Lin You came out to rescue the siege and said to Zhao Xingde with a smile: "Mr. Zhao will atone for his sins. We are wandering people in the province, and we always worry more about the court and feel less at ease. Every time we hear the two words of the court, we feel chilled. However, after thinking about it, the old man Huangzhoushan said it well. The world is the world of the world, not the world of one family. If the court is the ruler, we will recognize this court. If the court is not the ruler of the world, no matter whether he is an emperor or a general or a prime minister, he may not be able to make the decision. Hehe, after all, everyone has his own destiny. Since he has made the decision, there is no need for others to make the decision."

"I haven't drunk yet, I feel a little drunk and abrupt," Lin You picked up the teacup and looked at Zhao Xingde, "But what does Lord Zhao think?"
