The best county magistrate

"Your Majesty, is this the boy you are talking about?"

He laughed and patted Yang Xuanchen on the shoulder, "Not bad, he looks pretty."

"Xiao Yang, do you want a wife or not?"

Nani? What's going on with this boss? Why did he send out his wife as soon as he got here? This benefit is so good.

Yang Xuanchen was muttering in his heart, and even frowned, which made Murong Bo seem a little unhappy.

"What's wrong? It's not like you haven't seen my granddaughter before. She looks very handsome, and she also plays the piano well..."

I've forgotten that Murong Qingluan and Murong Qingyu's grandfather is the Grand Master in front of me.

Just when he was about to politely decline his kindness, Qin Qimao pulled Murong Bo over and said, "Master is too impatient. Can we wait until we have settled the matter before we talk about the marriage?"

Murong Bo laughed a few more times, then picked a chair and sat on it, staring at Yang Xuanchen with deep eyes, staring at him until he felt uncomfortable.

After returning to the main topic, Qin Qimao cleared his throat and said seriously: "The war between the North and the South is about to start. Tell me what you think, or what good plan you have to solve the current crisis!"

Originally, Yang Xuanchen thought he was going to be tested on relatively mundane things like the art of war, troop formations, etc. But he didn't expect that the first thing he would ask about was the current situation.

Regarding the current situation, he still has too few information points at present, so it is easy to make mistakes, but he cannot make empty talk, which makes it difficult.

After thinking hard for a while, he finally said, "Your Majesty, Master Qin, I thought that after the spring plowing, the north and the south would be at war with each other no matter what."

As he talked, he walked to the map and circled Haiyang Pass. "I have never been to Haiyang Pass, but I heard that this pass is the first pass in the north and it can be said to be impregnable."

"With this great pass, we can definitely stop the Northern Liao cavalry, but there are exceptions to everything..."

Speaking of this, he thought of Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng, and Shanhaiguan, and then he slightly changed the Qing army's strategy of conquering Shanhaiguan.

Everyone's brows jumped when they heard this, and Qin Qimao even stomped his steps. It was not that they had never thought about such a problem, so Emperor Jianwen sent Wu Yiguang to Haiyang Pass.

However, the possibilities mentioned by Yang Xuanchen include many details, such as disputes and even hatred caused by women, loan disputes caused by gambling, etc.

"Everyone thinks that Haiyang Pass is unbreakable, but often thousands of miles of city walls are destroyed by ant nests. Military discipline is the top priority!"

Qin Qimao stopped. He felt that what Yang Xuanchen said made sense.

Dayan's army has been at ease for more than ten years. Although there were drills in the past, there have been many more ruffians in the past ten years, and many more people have taken advantage of Wu's identity to seek benefits.

Now that there are signs in the army, it seems that they need to be nipped in the bud. But how did Yang Xuanchen know?

Thinking of this, Qin Qimao took a deep look at him and said, "Master Xiao Yang, what do you think of the Nanman side?"

Yang Xuanchen's eyes froze when he heard this. In fact, the south is the highlight after the beginning of spring. If the south is really like what Wu Changqing said, then Duan Zhenglong has already had the idea of ​​​​rebellion.

He looked around the entire imperial study room and was not sure whether there were people from King Zhennan among them, so he did not dare to say anything nonsense.

He could only sigh.

"Master Xiao Yang, is there something unspeakable?" Qin Qimao asked.

Yang Xuanchen waved his hands repeatedly, "It's not that it's hard to say anything, but it's that I dare not say nonsense."

"Why don't you say anything? I have already said it. You can speak freely today!" Emperor Jianwen reminded.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, is there anyone from King Zhennan here?" As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Jianwen's sharp eyes swept over everyone present, even the eunuchs serving beside him.

"Wu Dahai, close the door!"

With an order, Emperor Jianwen cleared out a group of people, and even Wu Dahai bowed his body and exited the imperial study.

"Everyone here is trustworthy by me, you can tell me."

The cold tone was mixed with an undoubted meaning, indicating that the situation in the south was already more difficult.

"I have a subordinate who is the queen of the Thunder Gun Wu family in Ciyun Mountain, Chenzhou..."

Yang Xuanchen told the news brought by Wu Changqing in detail, and also added his own analysis, which made everyone frown tightly.

With a thud, Qin Qimao stamped his foot, "Damn it, Qin Chongrong is just a jobber. He can't even get such important information."

"Your Majesty, please remove my son from the post of Minister of War. I...I cannot afford to lose this person."

"Mr. Qin, there is no need to be like this. What Yang Xuanchen said may not be entirely true. Please be patient and calm." Emperor Jianwen comforted him, but his brows did not loosen.

"From what you have seen, if what you just said is true, what will you do?" Emperor Jianwen asked Yang Xuanchen.

"Your Majesty, due to the war in the north, it is absolutely impossible to reduce the vassal status at present." Yang Xuanchen first made a conclusion for his next plan.

"King Xiaoyao is weak, his troops are weak and his horses are not strong, but King Zhennan is ambitious. Why don't we give up the two states of Chen and Liu?"

Boom, the imperial study room exploded again.

"You can't break it off, you can't break it off."

"If the two states fall into Duan Zhenglong's hands at the same time, and when his army is strong, he will unite with the Southern Barbarians to counterattack, Qingzhou, Jiangzhou, and even Jingzhou will be in danger!"

Qin Qimao quickly stopped Yang Xuanchen's remarks.

"Now the King of Zhennan has not shown any signs of rebellion. The imperial court is unknown. If he acts rashly, it will arouse conflicts between him and the imperial court."

"If there is a rebellion in the south at this juncture, it may be difficult for me, Great Yan, to take care of everything."

"Why not use retreat as advance and plan for it slowly."

Yang Xuanchen paused deliberately, and then continued: "The martial arts in our country is flourishing, and the three states of Chen, Liu, and Meng are the most prosperous."

"Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalry violates the law with force."

"Since ancient times, the Jianghu and the imperial court have been two opposites, but there are many heroes in the Jianghu. If the imperial court can get the support of the Jianghu..."

"Absurd, absolutely ridiculous. Since ancient times, there has been fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes, and there is freedom and looseness. How can they obey the orders of the imperial court?" Qin Qimao denied his remarks.

For a Taiwei who has devoted his whole life to the court, he looks down on people in the world from the bottom of his heart. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can defeat thousands of troops?

The great knight, haha, just a idiot!

With or without their support, it is irrelevant.

"Every bustle in the world is going to Lixi, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is going to Lixi!"

"All living beings are of all kinds, only profit is the highest. Why are rivers and lakes called rivers and lakes? It's because wherever there are people, they are rivers and lakes."

"The imperial court is the rivers and lakes, the capital city is the rivers and lakes, and the whole world is the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are not just about fighting and killing, but also about the sophistication of people and the entanglements of interests."

"The imperial court occupies countless resources in Dayan. Why don't we use these resources to win over people in the world and let them be used for me!"

"Status, money, beauty...all of them are indispensable!"

Seeing that Qin Qimao was about to ask another question, Yang Xuanchen quickened his tone, "We are just cooperating with them, not controlling them!"

"While we are sending people to disrupt the two southern states, creating more conflicts and pointing the finger at the King of Zhennan, we are also trying to win over people who can be used by us."

"Artificially creating an incident where a man uses force to break the law..."

When everyone heard this, they frowned again and thought about the meaning.

However, Grand Master Murong's words made everyone laugh, "You are a very sinister boy. You can think of all kinds of tricks. I have decided not to marry my granddaughter to you."

Yang Xuanchen couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. Who is going to marry your granddaughter? It's as if it's true.

Bah, shameless!

Looking back, everyone thought that the King of Zhennan in the south was indeed not in time to take action, so Xu Tuzhi was the only best option.

Whether Yang Xuanchen's strategy is feasible requires further study of the details, but he can still come up with such a method with limited information, which still shows that he has a strong overall view.

Qin Qimao figured out the key and turned around to look at Yang Xuanchen several times, "Master Xiao Yang is not only talented in literature, but also has the ability to govern the country and secure the country. He is also superior in literary, Taoist and military strategies."

"I admire you!"
