General, please be a loyal minister!

Coming out of Jing Xiu's mansion, Han Zhao's expression was not at all relaxed. He could tell that Jing Xiu was restless.

The six-year plan was reaching a critical moment, but such an uncontrollable accident happened.

Opportunities are often only once, one wrong step, one step at a time.

If the seizure of Liangzhou's power fails, Zhao Ji still has his father Liu Ci's retreat, but Liu Xuan can only die.

So Jing Xiu is more anxious than Han Zhao.

However, although Han Zhao's first goal is to find a way for Zhao Ji to climb the clouds, if possible, he should try his best to find a way for Liu Xuan to make a living.

He doesn't like to owe people. The gentleman of these years can't be called for nothing.

From the beginning to the end, Han Zhao never regarded Liu Xuan as Zhao Ji's competitor, because he believed that a person with empathy like Liu Xuan would not be able to make it to the end in such troubled times.

……

Moonlight tonight, no wind.

Han Zhao walked back along the deserted street, only the sound of his light and steady footsteps in the silent night.

Suddenly, his footsteps stopped.

Han Zhao stood in the middle of the street, looking coldly at a place several feet ahead.

I don't know when a figure appeared there, against the moonlight, the true face could not be seen clearly.The other party was wearing black clothes that melted into the night, standing in the middle of the road, motionless, like a stone, if the place where he stood was so abrupt, it would be easy to be ignored.

Han Zhao looked stern. He was very careful when he came out, but he was still being followed by someone: "Who is your Excellency? Who sent you here?"

Hearing Han Zhao's voice, the man moved. He walked towards Han Zhao with brisk and eager steps, almost as if he was running.

Han Zhao took a step back and said coldly, "Stop!"

The man was taken aback, and stopped five steps away from Han Zhao.

Now that the distance is getting closer, Han Zhao can see the other party's true face clearly.

This is a young man with a handsome face, tall and slender, with clear eyebrows.

He had a sword and was holding it between his arms - it didn't look like he was going to fight.

The young man looked at Han Zhao and smiled. The smile was pure and bright, without any malice or negative emotion.

But Han Zhao would not relax his vigilance because of this, he asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Hearing Han Zhao's question, the boy turned his head in confusion.He opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound, and then he gestured with his hands and feet for a while.

dumb?

Han Zhao didn't understand the meaning of the boy's actions.

Seeing that Han Zhao was puzzled, the boy wanted to step forward.

With a bang, Han Zhao pulled out the dagger hidden on his body: "Don't move."

Seeing the cold light from the dagger, the young man was stunned. He looked at Han Zhao in surprise, with a look of sadness flashing in his eyes.

Han Zhao was sure that he didn't know the boy, and after looking at him again and again, he classified the boy as an inexplicable stranger.

After backing out for a certain distance, he put away his dagger and chose another way to leave, leaving the young man standing there, watching his back with sadness.

His drooping fingers were brought back into his palm, but there was nothing he couldn't grasp.

If the night wasn't so dark, and if Han Zhao wasn't cautious enough to let the boy take two steps closer, he might be able to notice the red mark on the boy's palm where the rope was strangling.

……

The marriage with the Wang family ended after this happened. The parents of the girl from the Wang family believed that Han Zhao had something to do with it when they heard that the murderer had no clue, so they hated Han Zhao.

The Wang family said that they would take the girl back for burial, and Han Zhao agreed without hesitation. In this way, he, who was already full of suspicion, was given the infamy of "thinness".

A marriage ended like this, Zhou Yuan's face was dull, and he became dissatisfied with Han Zhao.

Han Zhao moved back to the old house and gave the new house to Zhao Ji as a mansion, but this kid never lived there, and he still came here to cling to Han Zhao whenever he was free.

Han Zhao turned a deaf ear to the gossip outside, closed the door in the name of writing a book, but meditated on the map on the wall in the study.

Although the false emperor died, the young emperor Yu Lan stabilized the court with the assistance of Prime Minister Yan Huan and his uncle General Dou Xiao, and successively pacified Bingzhou and Jizhou.

Liu E, king of Yi in the south, was in full swing, planning to go north. Liu Ci was under his tent, and successively captured Yuzhou and Xuzhou for him, and his reputation gradually increased.

The situation in the world is constantly changing, and history never goes according to plan.

But no matter what kind of calculation Han Zhao's eyes will eventually fall on the Eastern Capital of the Central Plains - if he can help one emperor up, he can help the second emperor up.

"Master!" Zhao Ji yelled and broke into Han Zhao's study.

Han Zhao glared at the reckless Zhao Ji: "Is there a dog chasing you?"

Zhao Ji didn't care about Han Zhao's ridicule, and ran to the desk excitedly, put his hands on the table, and put his face in front of Han Zhao: "Master, I'm going east! I'll lead the soldiers!"

Han Zhao raised his eyebrows and questioned, "Are you leading the troops?"

Zhao Jiyan froze, and told the truth: "Okay, it's the coach Wang Yang, and I'll lead one of them."

Han Zhao: "Where's Yu Wenxun?"

Zhao Ji curled his lips: "Transfer back to Liangzhou."

For Liangzhou to defend against Dou Xiao for several years, Dou Xiao was finally suspected by the young emperor and transferred away, so that Liangzhou had a chance to go east, but he was killed and killed. He was as cold as Han Zhao and couldn't help giving birth Not worth a share.

Apart from Zhou Yuan's contempt for Yu Wenxun's background, the reason for this is that he and Han Zhao got too close.

Zhao Ji, Han Zhao's apprentice, is an absolute henchman of Liu Xuan. Of course, Zhou Yuan is on guard against him, and the reason why no one else can stand up to Dou Xiao is to let him lead the army.

Han Zhao knew this, but he couldn't and wouldn't help Yu Wenxun.

According to the data of the system, Yu Wenxun is one of the best generals in the world. The best result for Han Zhao is that he is used by Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji does not have his own power yet.

Not hindering Yu Wenxun's official career is the biggest concession Han Zhao can make out of a little sympathy. As for pushing him to other forces?Han Zhao couldn't do it.

Leaving aside the twists and turns in the officialdom, Han Zhao planned to face the returning Yu Wenxun only as a friend. He told Zhao Ji, "Go dig out the wine in the yard."

Yu Wenxun liked the wine made with green plums from Han Zhao's family very much, and fearing that Han Zhao would not make it, he sent people to send carloads of good wine every year, half as raw material and half as reward.

But Zhao Ji is also greedy for the green plums on the tree.One tree bears so many fruits every year, and after making wine for Yu Wenxun, Zhao Ji would eat less.

Over the past few years, this beam has become quite serious.

Sure enough, Zhao Ji turned his face away: "No, he wants to drink and dig himself."

Han Zhao turned his back and continued to look at the map. Consciously or unintentionally, he sighed softly, "I said I have something to give you after I dug it up, so forget it."

Hearing that Han Zhao had something to give him, Zhao Ji's eyes lit up.

After thinking for a while, he felt that what the master gave was indeed more precious than a few jars of wine, so he turned his head to dig the dirt.

Han Zhao has his own way of restraining Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji moved quickly, and within a short while moved three jars of wine to Han Zhao's study. He clapped his hands impatiently, rubbed his hands in front of Han Zhao, and looked at Han Zhao expectantly.

Han Zhao looked at him, quite amused.

Suppressing a smile, he picked up a book on the table and threw it to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji caught it and saw the words "Han's Art of War" written on it.

This is the military book that Han Zhao has been compiling for the past few years. It was only made into a book some time ago. Now he has passed it on to Zhao Ji.

Han Zhao's art of war, Zhao Ji, has learned a long time ago, and now this bestowment is more like a ceremony, which means that Zhao Ji is at least capable of being a teacher in terms of art of war.

"Master!" Zhao Ji looked at Han Zhao in surprise and excitement, and wanted to get some verbal encouragement.

In a vague way, Han Zhao seemed to see Zhao Ji's wagging tail. He smiled imperceptibly, looked away, and talked about the business: "What do you think about this trip to the east?"

Hearing this question, Zhao Ji's expression became serious, he pondered for a moment, and expressed his opinion: "It's useless."

Han Zhao didn't interrupt, and Zhao Ji continued to explain: "Although the rift between the young emperor of the puppet dynasty and Dou Xiao gave Liangzhou an opportunity, but the thin camel is bigger than a horse, and there is the foundation of Dayi, the puppet dynasty will never die." Liangzhou, which has only weak resources, can be shaken. Unless—”

Han Zhao: "Go ahead."

"Unless we can unite with the rebels in the east and south to attack together. But the puppet dynasty is not the public enemy of all forces now, which one has no plan of its own, why should we fight the puppet dynasty with us?"

Han Zhao asked again, "Then why were you so excited?"

Zhao Ji choked for a moment, and then smiled playfully: "Join the fun. Anyway, I'm not the coach, and I don't deserve credit or guilt."

Zhao Ji had something to hide from him, but Han Zhao knew it well, so he didn't pursue it.

In Zhao Ji's eyes, Han Zhao was still someone who was outside the Liangzhou court. He didn't want these turmoil to involve Han Zhao and make Han Zhao worry, so he omitted the really sensitive issue - the split within the Liangzhou court.

Although Zhao Ji didn't know about Han Zhao and Jing Xiu's plans, his political sense was not bad.

Zhou Yuan has made no achievements in the East for many years, and is cronyistic. The old-school clans in Liangzhou who are not from the Zhouyuan family can only get a little benefit from Zhou and Wang's fingers all year round, and the accumulated dissatisfaction is only one. Can explode.

If going east this time is unfavorable, it will be an opportunity to shake Zhou Yuan's status.

——As early as when Zhou Wang and his family extended their hands to Han Zhao, Zhao Ji made up his mind to eradicate them.

After the autumn harvest, Liangzhou sent troops to the east with great momentum.

However, although Dou Xiao was transferred away, the general who stayed behind was his confidant.He strictly followed Dou Xiao's instructions, taking precautions first, coupled with sufficient logistical supplies, the Liangzhou army could not advance an inch in March.

Zhou Yuan dispatched troops this time with the determination to achieve success, and he was determined not to be anticlimactic.So the battle dragged on until the autumn of the second year. Although Yizhou served as a backup for such a long battle, Liangzhou was likely to feel overwhelmed.

Similarly, the puppet dynasty is not easy.

At the end of autumn, Shaodi activated Dou Xiao again, but Yu Wenxun in Liangzhou was seriously ill and couldn't even get out of bed, so this dispatch ended with the defeat of the Liangzhou army and Wang Yang's death on the battlefield.

At the critical juncture, if Zhao Ji hadn't shown his might, Beiwang Mountain, the life gate of Liangzhou, would have been broken by Dou Xiao.

After this battle, Liangzhou's vitality was seriously injured, Zhou Yuan lost his prestige, and under the persecution of the Song family and other clans in Liangzhou, he had to abdicate to give way to the virtuous.

In the water pavilion of the Young Master's Mansion, Jing Xiu and Liu Xuan sat and played chess, Jing Xiu wrote a white letter: "The centipede is dead but not stiff, Zhou Yuan's remaining prestige is still there, so don't stay."

Liu Xuan's face was very haggard, he let out a long sigh: "Mr. Jing, that's it."

Jing Xiu didn't give in: "Zhou Yuan can't stay."

Apart from Zhou Yuan, Liu Xuan's real battle has just begun.

The situation in Liangzhou is dominated by the clan, everyone is facing their own family, and there is no force that is completely loyal to Liu Xuan.

Those in Liangzhou are like a group of wild beasts, very greedy, but also very powerful in fighting. What Liu Xuan has to do is to feed them and let them bite the enemy.

After the world is settled, we will cook it to death.

But Liu Xuan couldn't even get rid of Zhou Yuan.

With Zhou Yuan around, people in Liangzhou would be unstable, and some forces would feel that they still had a choice, and thus had reservations about Liu Xuan.

In order to cut off the escape route of these grasshoppers, Zhou Yuan could not stay.

Liu Xuan knew what Jing Xiu said, but he couldn't do it because Zhou Wan was his concubine.

Three years ago, Zhou Wan's child was murdered by Concubine Song, but Liu Xuan did not investigate for the sake of the overall situation.

Zhou Wan knew everything, but endured the pain, and concealed the truth from Zhou Yuan for the safety of her beloved husband. At that time, Liu Xuan felt deeply guilty.

Today, Zhou Yuan has been overthrown.Zhou Wan knelt down in front of him the night before yesterday, begging him to spare Zhou Yuan's life, putting aside all her pride and dignity.

Zhou Wan carefully counted Zhou Yuan's kindness to Liu Xuan. Although there were too many uses and calculations in it, it was indeed because of Zhou Yuan that Liu Xuan was able to escape from South Vietnam and save his life.

Due to emotion and reason, Liu Xuan could not kill Zhou Yuan, nor let others harm Zhou Yuan...

In the silence, Jingxiu understood Liu Xuan's thoughts, he lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

He appreciates Liu Xuan's benevolence, but this benevolence also has disadvantages. He has no intention of blaming Liu Xuan, but he is afraid that Liu Xuan will not reach the end of this troubled world.

The author has something to say: Heck, let me declare again that neither Gongshou is a good person. If Han Zhao is chaotic and neutral, then Zhao Ji is lawful and evil.

His obedience is limited to Han Zhao, it's a way to deceive the master's favor, he is absolutely cold-blooded towards those who don't care...

Believe the author, Zhao Ji is not only born with bad seeds, but also becomes a scumbag as he grows up.
